AMBODE DESERVES COMMENDATION FOR TRANSFORMING LAGOS- AGBESE

Published

…Says He’s The “High Tech Road Builder One Of Lagos”

Veteran journalist, Mr. Dan Agbese has commended Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode for his commitment towards transforming the infrastructural landscape in the State in the last four years.

Agbese, who spoke at the 2019 Biennial Convention of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), held at the Airport Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos at the weekend,  said he was particularly pleased with the infrastructural regeneration of the Muritala Muhammed International Airport Road.

The dilapidated Murtala Mohammed International Airport was reconstructed into a 10-lane super highway by the Ambode administration and was commissioned last month by President Muhammadu Buhari alongside other major projects.

Several other infrastructural projects initiated by Governor Ambode,  including the World Class Oshodi Transport Interchange, Jubilee Bridges in Ajah and Abule Egba, Aboru Abesan Link Bridge as well as other key interventions in several sectors have redefined the landscape of the State.

According to Agbese, the quality of work on the International Airport Road was top notch, saying that the Governor deserves a special title for the feat.

“I must commend the Lagos State Governor for the quality of work on the International Airport Road. If he was in Imo State, he would have been tagged a chief of high tech roads.

“Infact, he would be titled as the High Tech Road Builder One of Lagos,” Agbese said, which elicited loud applause from media personalities who graced the convention.

Agbese, who was Chairman of the Convention, in his remarks also stressed that media organizations must re-strategise to sustain their relevance in the society.

He noted that the challenges facing Nigeria intensified because the media organizations have relapsed in their duties of shaping the agenda for the society, urging them to step up their game, as their role in sustaining Nigeria’s democracy could not be overemphasized.

From Giant to Beggar: The Tragic Collapse of Nigeria Under APC Rule

 

By George Omagbemi Sylvester

 

Once hailed as the “Giant of Africa,” Nigeria now limps on broken legs — economically battered, politically rudderless, and morally bankrupt. It is no longer just the brain drain that should worry us; it is the soul drain. Nigerians — students, professionals, entire families — are fleeing not just to Europe or North America, but to Ghana, a nation we once dismissed as “small brother.” This is not just ironic. It is humiliating. And it is a direct consequence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) taking power in 2015.

 

From Giant to Beggar: The Tragic Collapse of Nigeria Under APC Rule

 

The APC’s takeover, starting with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, marked the beginning of a free-fall. What followed was a decade of despair, capped now by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — another APC patriarch — who has inherited and worsened the crisis. The result? Every airport terminal has become a departure lounge for the talented, the young, and the fed up.

The prophetic hall of fame and Ambassador of peace,prophet Godwin Ikuru of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry has warned that those oppressing and intimidating senator Natasha Akpoti will be exposed if they continue to perpetuate the ungodly and derogatory act.

Speaking to newsmen today in Lagos, prophet Ikuru enunciated that God is not happy with the injustice the female senator has been subjected to “the injustice Natasha is facing is too much,they want to reduce her to nothing and rubbish her existence, what has she done?just because she cried out and told everyone what she has been passing through,I want to warn those who have been plotting against her sternly that anyone that intimidates or oppresses her again will face grave consequences “.

Prophet Ikuru maintained that Senator Natasha has been a good example and a great role model to women in politics “senator Natasha is loved dearly by her constituency because she is performing magnificently and allowing her people to feel the impact of democracy,no senator in that constituency has done half of what Natasha did within a year,why the plot to remove her unjustly through a manipulated recall,I,the prophetic hall of fame,I decree that anyone that is after your life, let the power of God scatter them, anyone that wants to disrupt Asiwaju government let God scatter them, anyone that wants to disrupt the government of Babajide Sanwo-Olu God will scatter them ”
