  By Owei Lakemfa I do not support the call by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde that international bodies like the United Nations (UN) should participate in probing the 56-day abduction of 39 pupils and six teachers in the state. In receiving the freed victims, he called “on the appropriate international human rights and accountability mechanisms, including those within the United Nations system, to closely examine the facts surrounding this abduction and the circumstances of its resolution.” He explained that: “Such scrutiny is not intended to undermine our institution. Rather, it is intended to reinforce public confidence that the truth will be established and that every person found to bear responsibility, regardless of office, influence or affiliation, will be held accountable.” He added: “This is not about politics. It is about justice for the victims, reassurance for our people, and restoring public confidence that every Nigerian child can go to school without fear.”...

  By allcitynews.ng  President Bola Tinubu has approved the full reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway following the deterioration of sections of the highway less than five years after its rehabilitation. The Minister of Works David Umahi has announced, who made this known while speaking with journalists over the weekend, said the approval reinforces the federal government’s decision to adopt reinforced concrete pavement for major highways, arguing that the technology offers significantly greater durability than conventional asphalt. According to the minister, the existing asphalt surface on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has continued to fail despite repeated maintenance efforts. According to Umahi, “The President approved the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Road, and that justifies our insistence on using reinforced concrete pavement." He noted that the 135-kilometre dual carriageway, completed less than five years ago, has already shown signs of structural failure. ...

      By allcitynews.ng  In a fresh move to strengthen women-owned businesses across Nigeria, Access Bank Plc has unveiled an enhanced version of its flagship W Power Loan. The move is offering female entrepreneurs easier access to collateral-free financing, flexible repayment options and business support services designed to accelerate growth.

Speaking on the initiative, the Group Head of Women Banking at Access Bank Plc, Nene Kunle-Ogunlusi, said the enhanced W Power Loan was specifically designed to address the financing challenges women entrepreneurs face, including limited access to affordable credit and stringent collateral requirements. According to her, women-owned businesses remain critical contributors to eco...

The 6-month scorecard shows steady progress across revenue, technology, and taxpayer experience. It was discovered tha...
