Ajadi Commends Reversal Of Age Limit For WASCE, NECO

Sahara Weekly Reports That A leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Olufemi Ajadi has commended the Federal Government for reversing itself on the 18 years minimum age to sit West Africa School Certificate Examinations, (WASCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO).

He said: “This decision has portrayed President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a listening one.” However, Ajadi told the Federal Government to reverse the fuel pump hike which has piled more pressure on the suffering masses.

The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, had announced that beginning from the next academic session, students below 18 years will not be allowed to sit for WAEC and NECO, a decision that was greeted with condemnation by many Nigerians, including Ajadi.

He had urged the government not to implement such a policy in the interest of many youths who are already in Senior Secondary Schools and may have to sit at home for many years to reach the age of 18.

On Friday, the Minister of State for Education Tanko Sununu said the government never restricted the age for students to sit for WAEC and NECO to 18 years.

LASBCA Seals Over 10 Buildings in Victory Estate, Ejigbo for Code Violations

The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has sealed more than 10 buildings at Victory Estate in the Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) for failing to comply with the State’s building codes and regulations.

The General Manager of LASBCA, Arc. Gbolahan Oki, revealed that most of the affected buildings lacked the necessary building plan approvals from the State Government, which is a direct violation of the law.

Oki explained that the agency had previously issued multiple contravention notices to the property owners and developers in an effort to encourage compliance, but these warnings were ignored, prompting the enforcement action.

He urged building owners and developers to take advantage of the Lagos State Government’s ongoing Amnesty Programme, facilitated by the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), to regularize their building documents before the program ends on December 31, 2024.

Reaffirming the government’s dedication to ensuring safety within the built environment, Oki stressed that enforcement of building codes is crucial to protecting lives and property. He warned that violators would face the full weight of the law, serving as a deterrent to others.

The State Government remains committed to maintaining order in the construction industry through rigorous monitoring, supervision, and enforcement of regulations.

A remarkable scene of divine intervention unfolded recently in Lagos, as Apostle Ayoola Oladele, a Lagos-based prophet and founder of Let Us Worship Ministries Healing and Salvation, restored the sanity of a mentally unstable man at Oshodi. This miraculous act, which has left many in awe, serves as a testament to the enduring presence of God’s supernatural power on earth.

The event occurred near the Tax Force Office on Alasia Bolade Street, opposite the Arena Military Market, where the mentally unstable man had become a familiar figure. According to Oluwaseun Fabiyi, publisher of BethNews Media, Prophet Ayoola, led by the Holy Spirit, was moved to lay hands on the man while passing through the area—a route he had frequented for years. With fervent prayers, the man reportedly regained his memory, stunning onlookers and sparking widespread praise.

Apostle Ayoola Oladele, a retired military officer and native of Eruku City, Kwara State, has become renowned for his powerful ministrations and dedication to prayer. His ministry, which attracts over 3,000 worshipers weekly, is headquartered in Lagos and has grown rapidly due to his impactful deliverance sessions and commitment to intercession for the Nigerian government.

The healing at Oshodi echoes the scriptural accounts of Jesus Christ’s miracles, reinforcing Prophet Ayoola’s authenticity as a vessel of God’s power. Many who witnessed the event described it as a divine encounter, reigniting faith in the miraculous works of God through His servants.

As a visionary leader, Apostle Ayoola Oladele continues to inspire countless believers with his unwavering faith, humility, and dedication to the spiritual and physical well-being of others.
