AMBODE SEEKS CORPORATE ORGANISATIONS’ SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

...Continue to adopt strategic grassroots football initiatives to encourage teenagers -Suri

...SaysNigeria is blessed with a lot of young talented sports athletes

AgegePulse Magazine

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has called on Corporate Organisations especially Multinational Companies to partner with government in its various community development projects aimed at improving the quality of lives of residents.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode made the call today at Gbagada in Kosofe Local Council Development Area of the State while commissioning the remodelled Araromi Youth Development Centre donated by the Coca-Cola Company Nigeria.

Represented by his Deputy, Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule, the Governor noted that Community Development Projects aimed at improving the quality of lives of the people should not be considered as the sole responsibility of Government alone.

He urged other Corporate Organizations to borrow a leaf from Coca-Cola by sponsoring more development projects as part of their corporate social responsibility, assuring that the government will continue to provide an enabling business environment that will guarantee quick returns on their investment.

While commending Coca-Cola for its good vision for Youth Development, Governor Ambode said: “The commissioning of the remodelled Araromi Youth Development Centre today will not only serve the Gbagada community but also join the list of world-class sporting facilities available in Lagos”.

Ambode stated that the present administration is fully committed to the provision of sports parks and vocational facilities in public places so as to revive grassroots, community and school sports in line with the vision of the State government to take the sports sector to the next level.

The Governor opined that all efforts in this direction are yielding positive results as Youths are now being meaningfully engaged in different communities, while indirectly contributing to the growth of the economy of Lagos rather than roaming about or engaging in vices.

He said, “Our plan as a government is to ensure the provision of sports parks and recreational facilities in our communities to revive grassroots, community and school sports, this is in furtherance to the goals of our administration to meaningfully engage our youths in different communities in Lagos State”.

“It provides a platform for the positive engagement of our Youth and the discovery of talented young people who will make a career out of their skills and contribute to the growth of the economy”, Ambode said.

The Governor who charged community leaders to ensure that the public facilities and infrastructure are protected, tasked Youths of Araromi, Ifako and Soluyi areas, who are the direct beneficiaries of the facility, to ensure adequate maintenance and shun any act capable of undermining government’s efforts in sports development.

Earlier, the Managing Director, Coca-Cola Nigeria,  Mr. Bhupendra Suri explained that the organisation has, as part of its corporate social responsibilities, continued to adopt strategic grassroots football initiatives aimed at empowering and inspiring teenage football players to actualize their dreams.

He noted that Nigeria is blessed with a lot of young talented sports athletes but the opportunity to make some of them maximize their potentials is almost non- existent, adding that his company came up with the idea  of upgrading selected football pitches across the country to help young players have access to world-class football training facilities in their communities.

“This is what we did with the COPA Coca-Cola, a grassroots youth-development programme designed to discover budding football talents across the world, provide them with opportunities to pursue their passion while encouraging them to bond with their peers from other parts of Nigeria and beyond”, Suri explained.

Also speaking, the Company’s Director of Public Affairs and Communications, Clement Orji, said the new ultra-modern sports facility is equipped with facilities that include a standby generator, changing rooms, basketball court, spacious car parks, toilets, water and large space for future development of other sporting activities.

AMBODE NOT REVERSING FASHOLA'S POLICIES, says Bamigbetan

...speaks on VisionScape Challenges

Agege Pulse Magazine

The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, has said that it is wrong for some people to say that the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is out to reverse the policies of his predecessors.

Bamigbetan said instead of doing that, Ambode was building on the policies of the past governors in the state, including the immediate former governor, Babatunde Fashola’s policies.

The commissioner said this on Tuesday, when he led a team from the state’s Ministry of Information and Strategy on a courtesy visit to The PUNCH Place, the headquarters of the Punch Nigeria Limited, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Bamigbetan was asked if Ambode was trying to reverse the legacies of Fashola by the recent changes in the state’s environmental and sanitation system, to which he replied, no.

He said, “We have not been undoing the policies of the predecessors. Rather, what we have been doing is to build on them and see how we can make them more efficient, effective and people-oriented than before and the refuse and ‘okada’ (commercial motorcyclists’) cases are just part of it.”

Earlier, Bamigbetan had admitted that there had been challenges recently in the collection and disposal of waste in the state, which had made Lagos dirtier with heaps of waste dotting the streets.

The commissioner said the problem was caused because the Private Sector Participation operators, also known as the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, who were initially in charge of domestic waste collection had been moved to the commercial sector while Visionscape, the company that should take over from them had challenges getting its equipment into the country.

He said, “It is a fact that we do not build compactors in this country. It is a fact that our manufacturing sector is so weak that you cannot even have them produce bins, so they have to be sourced from abroad and for you to bring them in; they must go through the Customs’ process. So, a company that had been given the mandate to take over from January 1, was still battling with Customs processing.

“What will normally take one month to do in other countries, including Togo, takes five months here. It took them (Visionscape) five months to get the first batch of compactors in. They had a target of 600 compactors but as of now, they have fewer than 200 compactors.

2019:: Young Adults Have To Create Options - Tope Fasua

Barely three (3) months into their registration as a Political Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), which prides itself in collection, accommodation and presentation of vibrant young Nigerians with innovative adoption of technology has gone ahead to hold its congress recently, while also conducting election of members into Party’s national offices so as to set out for work ahead of 2019.

The congress in Abuja saw already, many, registered members who travelled down from various States to exercise their rights to participate in politics. The election of members into Party’s offices was done in an open Option A4 format, where the delegates stood behind the contestants of their choices for a transparent counting in order to elect the officers.

Speaking at the congress, the National Chairman elect, Mr. Tope Fasua declared that the practice was to show other parties how to conduct internal democracy with transparency. He said that the ANRP would be a “First Force Party” for Nigerians to take as model, but not a “Third Force” for any of the existing political parties in Nigeria.

While he appraised the organic membership generation and impressive turn out at their first ANRP congress in only a short time after its registration by INEC, Mr. Fasua declares that crowd-funding is also one of the party’s outstanding qualities that readily distinguishes it from others.

He said the choice of Eagle Square as venue for their first congress without having any access to national vault or Government resources is one of evidences that the Party is well started-out and has great potential as a platform for young Nigerians to take their political destinies in their hands.

The congress was also observed by officials of INEC, student observers and some Nigerians from diaspora who attended by way of solidarity and support for the party’s innovative standing.

A delegate from Lagos which is an Agege based Azeez Nurudeen serving as a coordinator from ANRP Agege LGA witnessed the event encourage young adults to take their destinies into their hands by getting involve in politics at the grassroots level.

To join this party is easiest by searching www.ANRP.org.ng and fill up the form therein.

Agege LG Boss Egunjobi Supports Traditional Rulers With Cash Gift

...To Give Palaces Facelift

AgegePulse Magazine

In a bid to fulfill campaign promises and improve the welfare of Traditional Rulers in Agege, Executive Chairman of Agege LGA, Hon. Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi has rained cash gifts on all the eleven Baales under the council.

Egunjobi played host to all the Baales yesterday at the council's Secretariat where several issues affecting offices of the traditional rulers were discussed. Top on the agenda was the need for all the 11 palaces in the council to wear new looks.

Speaking on the purpose of the meeting and cash gifts, Egunjobi said the effort is to proffer solutions to issues mitigating their leadership and communities as well as to give the palaces of all the traditional rulers a facelift following long years of clamour for welfare improvement.

Egunjobi used the medium to urge all Baales to sensitise their communities on illegal dumping of refuse in their communities to avoid unhealthy environment.

United Nations Praises LASG Over Yoruba Language Preservation Law

...As Education District 1 Marks International Mother Language Day In Style

AgegePulse Magazine

When Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode signed the bill on the preservation and promotion of Yoruba Language into law recently, many were of the opinion that it's another beautiful law meant to be active on paper. But, barely two weeks into the approval, the beauty of the cultural heritage of Yoruba race was colourfully exemplified on Wednesday February 21st when International Mother Language Day was celebrated across Lagos schools.

It is no more news that the Lagos State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Honourable Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa has been on the front seat of promoting and preserving Yoruba Language in the state, through it's commitment to holding Thursdays plenary sessions in Yoruba Language.

At an event which was organized by the United Nations Information Centre, UNIC in collaboration with Lagos Education District One, students, teachers, and school managers exhibited the beauty of Yoruba culture to the world through parade of colourful traditional attires, cultural rendition of poems and effective manipulations of cultural articles like talking drums, calabash and many more.

An elated National Information Officer of the United Nations Information Centre Nigeria, Dr Oluseyi Soremekun could not hold his enthusiasm after seeing exquisite rendition of Yoruba Language by students of the district.

Dr Soremekun commended the Lagos State Government for making Yoruba Language a compulsory subject in its schools. He said the signing of the Yoruba Language Promotion and Preservation Bill into Law Correlates with the 2018 theme of the IMLD tagged ‘Linguistic diversity and Multilingualism Count for Sustainable Development’.

While addressing students and teachers at Vetland School Agege, on the occasion of the 2018 International Mother Language Day, Dr Soremekun said, "We greet our amiable Governor Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode because our governor is someone that takes the culture and tradition of the Yoruba language very important by putting up policy to ensure the language doesn't fade off. However, I call on other State Governments to emulate Lagos State and make compulsory, the indigenous languages in their States.

"Language is culture. Culture is a way of life. It manifests in thoughts, dressing, music, dances, foods, etc. Be proud of your mother tongue. Learn it. Speak it. Use it. Teach the younger ones." Dr Soremekun added.

On her part, the Permanent Secretary and Tutor General of EDDI, Dr (Mrs) Olufolayimika Abiose Ayandele, was overwhelmed by how fluently, clearly and deeply students manipulated the Yoruba Language while making 'Ifa' (Yoruba Deity) consultations and poetry rendition to commemorate the day.

In a chat with Agege Pulse, Dr. Ayandele who dressed in blue-shining "Aran" (Yoruba Ceremonial Robe) cloth advised that Yoruba's rich culture should go beyond dressing, noting that the people's character, attitude and behaviour as Yorubas should promote sustainable peace in the land.

The award winning Doctor urged the gathering to cultivate the ability to learn more than one language. She commended the student for their comportment and maverick display of Yoruba articles denoting it's rich cultural heritage.

"These wonderful performances in Yoruba Language, display of our articles and fashion styles is an indication that Yoruba Language is safe in Education District 1, Lagos and Nigeria at large.

"Our unalloyed appreciation goes to Lagos State Government. From the Lawmakers to the Executives and other concerned stakeholders who strived to ensure the promotion and preservation of Yoruba Cultural Heritage became a law in the state, I strongly believe we have taken a step in the right direction which will be appreciated by generations to come." Dr Ayandele asserted.

Gov. Ambode Deserves Re-election, He's Built A Smart Lagos - Ex-House Leader, Hon. Aroko

...Says Ambode Could Be Nigeria's Messiah

Agege Pulse Magazine

Ex-leader of Agege Legislative Council, Hon.  Rasheed Osanyinpeju, popularly known as Aroko has rallied support for the incumbent Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode ahead of 2019 election.

Aroko spoke on Thursday on Morning Delight, a talk-show programme on LTV 8, where he was a guest.

 The former leader who is currently the Chairman, Agege Local Government Revenue Committee hailed Gov. Ambode describing him as 'Mr. Project', an achiever and principled democrat, adding that the governor was focused on bringing the dividends of democracy to the people.

He stressed that and Ambode must be encouraged to lead the state as long as the law permits.

He said, "In all ramifications, Gov. Ambode is a huge success.  Lagos has become a smart city. The state now leverage on new technologies to strengthen its social, physical and economic infrastructure. Everyday there are new developments in all sectors, be it transportation, power, housing, sports and what have you.

"The state since the days of the founding father of modern Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has continued to be the ultimate reference point. It is my hope as a resident of Lagos that Ambode will continue his good work by seeking re-election to run the affairs of Lagos till 2023. I am equally seeing the possibility of an Ambode on the throne of Presidency come 2023. Just watch out!"

"I'm convinced that during his second term, his plan to make Lagosians enjoy 24 hours power will come to fruition. Just days back, we all recalled that he signed into law Lagos State Electric Power Reform Law.

"I think commendation should also go to the State House of Assembly under the leadership of Right Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa and the members including my able leader, Hon. Oluyinka Ogundimu for keying into the vision of Governor Ambode for the Lagos." Aroko asserted.

Police arrest Olohunwa, one other over Hamburger’s death

Agege Pulse Magazine

A suspected killer, Adeola Williams, 39, aka Ade Lawyer and his suspected accomplice, Rafiu Akanni Olohunwa have been arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

Ade Lawyer, said to be responsible for the death of a National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) member, Ganiyu Ayinla (a.k.a. Piero), on Lagos Island on January 23.

He was nabbed on Wednesday in Akure, the Ondo State capital. He was said to have confessed killing Rasaq Bello a.k.a. Hamburger, a union leader in Oshodi.

Olohunwa was the former NURTW Lagos State Council Chairman.

The police said Ade Lawyer had been on the wanted list for over five years following his involvement in killings in the Southwest.
Olorunwa was alleged to have contracted Ade Lawyer to kill NURTW Lagos Island Chairman Azeez Lawal (a.k.a. Kunle Poly).

Ade Lawyer, the police alleged, confessed that he was paid N500,000 with a promise of N1,000,0000 balance to execute the job.
However, he allegedly missed the target and killed Lawal’s personal assistant, Ayinla.
Police said Lawal escaped death but sustained bullet wounds.

Upon his arrest, the suspect was alleged to have confessed to the killing and that of others in the zone.
“He said Olohunwa refused to give them the N1, 000,000 balance because they killed the personal assistant, instead of the man he sent them to eliminate.

“Hence, Adeola Williams a.k.a. Ade Lawyer traced the driver of Olohunwa and seized his black Hyundai Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) from the driver. He called the owner that they would release his SUV after he paid them their N1 million balance.
“He said they needed to hide until tension subsided since two of his accomplices had been arrested by the police.
“He confessed that Olohunwa has been calling him to be very careful and that he should hide because his members have been arrested.

“He listed other victims he killed in the past to include Rasaq Bello a.k.a Hamburger, a union chairman in Oshodi, Babajide Dosumu aka Mados in Ebute Meta, Salawe in Ajah, Ganiyu Asaro and others in Badore where he said he sprayed bullets in their car and killed the five occupants.

“Olohunwa was arrested in Ebute Meta by IRT operatives. Efforts to arrest the remaining gang members are on,”” the police said.

Agege LGA Laments Untimely Death of 5yr Old Girl Killed By A Commercial Bus

...Vows To Construct Speed Breaker On Busy Roads

AgegePulse Magazine

Following the horrific demise of one 5yr old girl who was accidently killed by a commercial bus (danfo) driver on Sunday, officials of Agege Local Government Area have decried the ugly incident which almost caused pandemonium among the people and the danfo driver at Keke area of Agege.

Speaking to Agege Pulse on the incident, the executive chairman of Agege LGA, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola said it's an ugly incident which he and his cabinet found hard to accept when the news got to them.

"Our heart is with family of the innocent young soul whose life was untimely ejected in the fatal accident."

"The ugly news came to us as a rude shock. We have swung into action immediately to install peace in the area. We will continue to put necessary measures in place to prevent avoidable lost of lives in our community", Egunjobi reacted.

Agege Pulse learnt that the ugly incident happened on Sunday as a result of uncautious acceleration from the danfo driver around Abeokuta/Sobowale streets off Akilo Road, Agege.

According to residents,  Sobowale street is  dominated by schools children due to the presence of Private Schools in the area.

They revealed that they had lodged complained on countless occasions about the unguided actions of motorists who ply the busy streets on high speed but past governments have refused to give listening ears to their demands for speed breaker or Road bumps to checkmate the excesses but ended in futility.

What was on the lips of those who witnessed how the young girl was agonisingly knocked down by the onrushing danfo bus was that had government had done the needful after the construction of the road during ex-governor Fashola's reign, the ugly incident could have been averted.

However, management team of Agege LGA in separate remarks have promised the people that road bumps or speed breakers will be constructed on the busy roads with immediate effect.

Leader of Agege Legislative Arm, Hon. Kola Anigbajumo while speaking with the CDA Chairman of Keke, assured  them that their grievance will be discussed on the floor of the house and conveyed to the appropriate quarters to prevent future occurences.

Meanwhile, less than 24hours of the incident, Agege LGA approved the construction of speed breaker at Sobowale, Adejare and Abeokuta Roads of Keke Agege.

Agege Pulse learnt that about six speed breakers have been approved by the council boss, Egunjobi after receiving reports of the accident.

This was confirmed to Agege Pulse by the Supervisory Councillor on Works and Housing, Hon Sola Osolana.

Osolana said; "we went to the scene immediately we got the report and we held meetings with family of the deceased and the CDA of the area inside the palace of Baale of Keke, High Chief Liadi Idowu Ajagunna.

We told them of the directive of the Chairman that six speed breakers would be constructed at different location as approved by the Chairman." Osolana concluded.

Wizkid, Iwobi, Mikel, Ihenacho, others model New Super Eagles jerseys as Nike unveils kits ahead of World Cup

Agege Pulse Magazine

The new playing kits for the Nigeria national team, the Super Eagles have been unveiled barely 126 days before the 2018 World Cup gets underway in Russia.

The unveiling was done in London on Wednesday where Nike used their official YouTube channel to serve the public a glimpse of the new Nigeria jersey designs for the Super Eagles’ Russia 2018 World Cup campaign.

The designs bring back the nostalgia patterned Adidas jersey the Super Eagles wore at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia and their first World Cup in the United States of America that same year.

The away kit has the shirt with the predominantly light green background with bold white V-shaped patterns drawn on it.

The sleeves have white underneath black patterns. The shorts are plain white.

The home shirt is all-green, this one darker than usual.

While reviewing the designs at the unveiling in London, Mikel said: “I can see the players going crazy over this one.”

Ndidi also sounded excited, adding “This is cultural” in apparent reference to the patterned away kit.

“This is different, you know,” Iwobi added, while Iheanacho seemed happy with all the designs.

The Super Eagles will be appearing in their sixth World Cup in Russia after previous appearances at the USA 1994, France 1998, Korea/Japan 2002, South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.

APGAR Shuts All Business Activities At Aluminum Village, Agege For Environmental Sanitation

...As Traders Conduct Compulsory Sanitation Exercise

Agege Pulse Magazine

Following the intervention of the Executive Chairman of Agege LGA, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi during an environmental tour on Aluminium Village, Agege, the Aluminium Profiles, Glass and Accessories Retailers Association of Nigeria (APGAR) embarks on emergency sanitation exercise to ensure cleaner working environment.

The development is coming after the directive of Lagos State Government instructing all markets across the state to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment through proper disposal of wastes.

APGAR under the leadership of Alhaji Biliaminu Oladimeji Olanite toured all the 14 zones in the village to ensure 100 percent compliance of the special environmental sanitation exercises.

Also, the association used the medium to sensitive members on the need to key into the Cleaner Lagos Initiative of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode's led administration urging them to eschew illegal or inadequate dumping of their refuses across the market.

According to Agege Pulse correspondent who witnessed the mandatory sanitation exercise, traders surprisingly locked up their shops on Monday morning to comply to the directive. They were seen sweeping and disposing wastes accordingly in expectation of VisionScape's Trucks.
