Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo, has said his counterpart in Ekiti State, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, has demonstrated capacity, which indicates that he was well prepared for the task of governing the State.

This, he said, continues to reflect in Oyebanji’s excellent performance across all sectors in the last three years.

Ododo posited that there is verifiable and convincing evidence across the critical sectors of the economy that point to the fact that Governor Oyebanji has fulfilled the social contract he signed with the people of Ekiti State.

He spoke in Ilawe Ekiti on Tuesday, while commissioning the 21-kilometre Ikere-Ilawe road and the renovated General Hospital, projects of the Governor Oyebanji administration.

Addressing the large crowd of residents that thronged the venue of the ceremony, Governor Ododo, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event, applauded Oyebanji for hiring the services of local contractors to execute some of the road projects.

The Kogi Governor stated that such an extreme display of leadership speaks volumes about Oyebanji’s unflagging belief in the development of human resources that are available to the country.

He saluted the Ekiti Governor for making the state pass through the trajectory of impactful governance in the areas of infrastructure, human capital development, tourism, agriculture, and youth development, which audibly speak to the government’s inclusion policy.

‘With what I have been briefed, this road started in 2022 through self-financing under the last administration, but could not go far due to some difficulties. Once a leader is focused and forward-looking, his vision will outlive transitions.

‘With your governance and leadership in Ekiti, you have demonstrated that the government is about vision and performance. With what I have seen and the solid support you are getting from the Ekiti people, it is evident that you came solidly prepared for governance.

‘Even your opponent knew that you had performed well, and they knew that BAO had bowed their heads with great performance. Ekiti and Kogi States do not just share common boundaries; we share a history and close ties of brotherhood and the development of our people.

‘Let me assure you that all the progressive governors are behind you and I hope that you will continue with this tempo till 2030. We have the same vision, which is to serve the people and nothing more.

‘I want you to remain focused and not be distracted by the confusion being caused by the members of the opposition. You are a quiet person, but your actions speak louder in your performance. I am proud of your achievements,’ he said.

Speaking, Oyebanji described the completion of the road as a jinx-breaking expedition, saying whatever he has achieved in Ekiti could be hinged on the enigmatic economic reformations being carried out at the federal level by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The governor stated further that his administration has not borrowed a dime to fund any of the capital projects being undertaken for the benefit of the masses. He thanked the president for making more resources available to the subnational.

‘I have not borrowed a dime to fund any of the capital projects going on in Ekiti State, and this is because of the audacious reforms being carried out by President Tinubu that have made more money available to states,’ he said.

Oyebanji said an aggregate of 10 roads spread across Ekiti will be commissioned to mark the third anniversary, which were strategically undertaken to drive tourism, local economy, transportation, small and medium enterprises and agriculture.

For the third anniversary, the governor revealed that a total of six hospitals, with state-of-the-art facilities, will be commissioned to serve the people at the grassroots, saying the rehabilitated general hospital in Ilawe Ekiti will facilitate improved quality healthcare for the masses.

The Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Alabi, applauded the Governor for clearing all hurdles and ensuring the speedy completion of the road, after the initial setback that nearly stalled the readiness of the road for usage.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, has declared that he would use 20 days to show ‘social media presidents and Nigerians’ what the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has done in the educational sector in the FCT.

The Minister disclosed this during the inauguration of the Wuye Engineering Infrastructure Project, marking the 20th day of the FCT Administration’s continuous flag-off and commissioning programme.

He said, ‘We will take 20 days to show Nigerians, to show social media president what we have done in the education sector. So we are not going to rush.

‘We are not going to rush; we are going to shock them with what we have done in the education sector, so that they will know that President Tinubu’s administration is not only concentrating on the infrastructure in the FCT, as regards the network of roads, it is also focusing on the education sector.’

The minister said he would take a pause after 20 days of flagging off and commissioning projects.

‘I have told the chief of staff, we are going to end our flag off, our commissioning, at least for today. 20 days is not two days, so we will take a rest and come back and focus on education,’ he said.

According to the Minister, the projects being inaugurated were abandoned since 2009, sixteen years ago, due to non-payment of contractors.

He explained that the Tinubu administration took decisive steps to revive them, leading to massive infrastructural development in Wuye and Gwagwalada District, including new road networks, sectoral arterials, tunnels, and utility services.

‘When this administration came in, the President took immediate steps to revive what had been neglected. Within one year in office, major projects were completed, including the interchange that once caused traffic chaos in the area,’ he noted.

He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting all political leaders who align with the President’s vision, adding that a ‘political tsunami’ of performance-driven governance is sweeping through the territory.

‘Those in real estate used to complain: No roads, no infrastructure, our businesses are collapsing. Can you still say that today? Every day, you see progress because infrastructure has been provided. That’s what development looks like,’ he said.

‘My dear people, look around you. If you live here, if you have property here, your conscience will tell you the truth, that leadership has returned to this country. The Renewed Hope Agenda is real. Forget my face; what matters is the work being done.’

In her remarks, the FCT Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, described the Wuye Engineering Infrastructure Project as a testament to the administration’s resolve to deliver infrastructure that uplifts communities and restores hope.

‘As we celebrate this achievement, let us remember that every milestone is a promise kept, and every completion is a beginning anew,’ Mahmoud said, while thanking President Tinubu for illuminating every corner of the FCT through the Renewed Hope Agenda.

She also commended Wike for his ‘exemplary leadership and relentless drive to deliver projects that touch lives and uplift communities.’

In a related development, Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, in a statement on Tuesday issued to newsmen, disclosed that the Minister will hold his routine monthly Media Chat on Friday, October 24, 2025.

According to the statement: ‘Having concluded 20 days of project commissioning and flag-off, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, will hold his monthly Media Chat on Friday, October 24, 2025.

‘The project flag-off and commissioning, which started on September 18, 2025, ended today, with the commissioning of the newly provided Engineering Infrastructure in Wuye District, Abuja.

‘The Media Chat will be live on major national television stations from 10am to 12 noon on Friday.’

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) on Tuesday announced a strategic redeployment of 56 management staff as part of efforts to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery in line with its core mandate.

Director General of NIMASA, Dr Dayo Mobereola, said the exercise aims to strengthen inter-departmental collaboration and inject new energy into the system to further improve performance across the maritime sector.

Under the new structure, Hajia Moji Jimoh becomes Director, Administration and Human Resources; Aishatu Jidda, Director, Planning, Research and Data Management Services; Barr. Heaky Dimowo, Director, Legal Services/Board Secretary; Isichei Osamgbi, Director, SERVICOM; and Mrs Olubusola Obasanjo-Akande, Director, Western Zone.

Others include Engr. Christopher Amakulo as Director, Special Duties; Ms Gloria Anyasodo, Director, Cabotage Services; Salihu Abdullahi Yelwa, Director, Shipping Development; Mrs Nneka Obianyor, Director, Reforms Coordination and Blue Economy; Umar Ibrahim Sidi, Director, Maritime Labour Services; Dr Oma Ofodile, Director, Marine Environment Management; Mr Buba Umar, Director, Abuja Zonal Office; and Ahmed Shittien as Special Adviser (Technical) to the Director General.

Dr Mobereola urged the redeployed directors to bring their experience to bear and work collectively towards achieving the Agency’s strategic objectives.

He emphasised that the redeployment reflects deliberate efforts to rejig operations, foster synergy among departments, and drive sustainable maritime development in Nigeria.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, on Tuesday nullified the local government and councillorship elections conducted in July last year, which produced the current council chairmen and councillors in the state.

The court, presided over by Justice H.I.O. Oshomah, held that the July 2024 local government and councillorship elections in the state did not conform with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

It therefore voided and cancelled the said elections and directed the Ebonyi State Independent National Electoral Commission (EBSIEC) and the state government-who are the 2nd and 3rd respondents in the matter-not to conduct any further local government and councillorship elections in the state except in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

The court granted most of the reliefs sought by the counsels to the 1st plaintiff, Hamilton Ogbodo, and the 2nd plaintiff, Chief Mudi Erhenede, and also issued a consequential order on the matter.

Counsel to the 1st plaintiff, Samuel Udeogu, Mr. Hamilton Ogbodo, hailed the judgment, saying:

‘So, in effect, the local government election conducted in July 2024 in Ebonyi State is no longer valid; it has been cancelled by the Federal High Court today.

If the 2nd and 3rd defendants want to do what the law says, they should revert to status quo ante bellum and obey the court order. We are, however, waiting for them, as the time within which they can appeal this judgment is still running. Once it expires, we will know what to do.

We expect them to obey the court order. The local government chairmen have been sacked by the order of the court. The court has done exactly what the law requires because everything is clearly stated in black and white.

It is only when people refuse to obey the law that they try to interpret it to serve their own interests.’

On his part, Chief Mudi Erhenede, counsel to Isu Amaechi, who is the 2nd plaintiff in the matter, recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki and presided over by the late Justice Fatun Rilman had earlier nullified the 2022 local government and councillorship elections, a judgment the state government failed to obey as it went ahead to swear in persons as elected council chairmen and councillors across the 13 local government areas and 171 wards of the state.

He noted that the 2nd and 3rd defendants had filed an appeal against Justice Fatun Rilman’s judgment, which they later lost after the appellate court upheld the earlier Federal High Court ruling.

‘This is simply a case of people who do not believe in or obey the rule of law. The Federal High Court nullified the 2022 local government election, yet the state, in defiance of that judgment, proceeded to swear in some persons as council chairmen,’ he said.

Erhenede commended Justice Oshomah’s ruling on the 2024 local government and councillorship elections and urged the court to make the certified true copy of the judgment available as soon as possible.

The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese, on Tuesday, cautioned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) against joining the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in its ongoing strike.

Hon. Agbese, who gave the charge during a media chat with select parliamentary correspondents after Tuesday’s plenary session, appealed to the NLC, ASUU, and all stakeholders in the education sector to exercise restraint and give the system some breathing space to recover from years of instability.

While warning that such action could derail the laudable reforms being implemented in the education sector by the Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, the Deputy Spokesman expressed delight over the ongoing reforms initiated by the present administration.

His call came following the four-week ultimatum issued by the NLC that it would join forces with ASUU if the Federal Government failed to resolve all issues it has with tertiary institutions-based unions.

NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, had at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, threatened that should the Federal Government fail to conclude negotiations with all tertiary institutions-based unions within the stipulated time, it would not hesitate to take drastic actions by activating all necessary instruments.

The APC lawmaker from Benue State urged the unions to, rather, support the ongoing reforms initiated by the Minister of Education, which he described as bold, far-reaching, and focused on repositioning Nigeria’s educational system for global competitiveness.

‘In developed countries, when a government begins to perform well in certain sectors, citizens usually give it some time – a holiday of sorts – to observe and consolidate the progress made. That is what we need to do now for the education sector,’ he said.

Hon. Agbese noted that under the current Minister of Education, several positive steps have been taken to address long-standing challenges in tertiary education, including reforms in university administration, efforts to enhance funding transparency, and a renewed emphasis on research, innovation, and digital learning.

He said that under Alausa, the government has increased annual admission capacity in tertiary institutions from 750,000 to one million students while also harmonising tuition policies through NELFUND to ensure fairness and accessibility.

He highlighted that the launch of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI) Roadmap by Alausa remains a key step in transforming the sector.

Hon. Agbese noted that the Students’ Loans initiative being implemented by NELFUND under the supervision of the Minister of Education has opened access for indigent students and those from less privileged backgrounds to pursue university education.

The lawmaker also identified the World Bank-supported Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) project, which provides conditional cash transfers, improves school facilities, and equips girls with life and digital skills to overcome social and economic barriers, as another achievement under the Minister.

He added that these initiatives were beginning to yield visible results and should be nurtured rather than truncated by another round of industrial action.

‘As stakeholders, we must see ourselves as part of the Nigerian project. Strikes have never solved our problems; they only make matters worse. These issues can always be brought before the National Assembly, where there are mechanisms for dialogue and intervention.

‘We’ve done it in the past, and we can do it again. The current Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, understands the struggles of the academic community and is always ready to intervene,’ he said.

Hon. Agbese urged ASUU to evolve from what he described as ‘the same old formula’ that continues to cripple the academic calendar of the country’s tertiary institutions, and instead position itself as a think tank that generates constructive ideas for policy improvement.

‘The worst hit each time ASUU goes on strike are the poor teachers’ children and those from low-income homes who attend public schools,’ he lamented.

‘The Honourable Minister himself understands these challenges because he is one of them in all ramifications. That is why we must give him the support needed to complete these reforms.’

The lawmaker reiterated the commitment of the National Assembly to serve as a bridge between the government and stakeholders in the education sector, ensuring that grievances are resolved through dialogue rather than confrontation.

‘Our doors are open. Let’s work together to strengthen the system instead of shutting it down,’ Hon. Agbese added.

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has attributed the growing rate of vandalism to the activities of scavengers and scrap dealers in the state, describing their alleged theft and destruction of public property as ‘alarming’ and unacceptable.

Governor Okpebholo stated this while receiving the newly deployed Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Akintayo Saidi Ayinla, in Edo on Tuesday in Benin.

Okpebholo revealed that his administration will be sending an executive bill to the State House of Assembly, which, after passage, would regulate the activities of scavengers and scrap dealers in the state.

He said, ‘The way they go about stealing irons, removing and destroying property belonging to people, is not acceptable at all.

‘I know that with your zeal and understanding of the state’s terrain, you will be able to take action to end this menace.

‘We are going to propose a regulatory document in the form of a bill to the House of Assembly.

‘When somebody is operating, he should know his boundaries. If they go beyond that, they should know that they are fighting the government.

‘We need to do that so that there will be sanity in their operations.’

While welcoming Akintayo to Edo State, the Governor, however, extended his condolences to the NSCDC over the recent demise of its former Commandant in the State, Gbenga Agun Joseph.

‘Let me welcome you to Government House this morning and, first of all, condole with you once again on the passing of our friend and brother, your predecessor,’ Okpebholo said

Earlier, Ayinla, who officially assumed office on October 17, 2025, confirmed the link between the industry and vandalism, citing the theft of electric cables and manhole covers and streetlight poles as some examples.

He said, ‘While the scrap and scavenging industry contributes to economic activities, its operations have regrettably been linked to rising cases of vandalism and criminality.

‘If not properly regulated, these activities could escalate into more severe crimes such as vehicle theft and destruction of government infrastructure.’

He noted that the NSCDC has begun a census of scrap markets to establish a monitoring framework.

He appealed to the Government to adopt measures such as designating specific areas for scrap markets, regulating their hours of operation, mandating registration and licensing of scrap dealers, and restricting the handling of critical infrastructure materials.

Commandant Ayinla commended the Governor for his support to security agencies in the State, through the provision of vehicles, financial assistance, and other resources.

It would be recalled that the Edo State House of Assembly had previously passed a resolution in May 2025, urging the state government to address the criminal activities of iron scrap dealers.

More tech teams are rethinking how they manage software quality. With tighter deadlines and higher user expectations, relying solely on internal QA often isn’t enough.

That’s why more and more U.S. companies are choosing to outsource quality assurance and bring in an external provider to take on part or all of their testing. That could include manual testing, automation, performance tuning, or security checks.

Importantly, outsourcing doesn’t always mean going offshore. In fact, many teams are now working with top QA outsourcing companies in the U.S. for better time zone alignment and smoother collaboration.

The high command and management of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has condemned in strong terms the action of some anti-government protesters hiding under campaign for justice on Monday

The Corps particularly condemned the invasion of over 50 protesters at the entrance the Corps National Headquarters in Abuja during the protest.

Corps National spokesman, Chief Superintendent Babawale Afolabi said the act was totally condemnable as the protesters invaded the entrance of the Corps National Headquarters chanting different protest songs.

Afolabi said the NSCDC Commandant General, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi had earlier sent a red alert warning across the Corps Commands and formation on the need to be warry of those protesters who have marked October 20 as a protest day in support of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and the need for the operatives to enhance the security and protection of critical national assets and infrastructure in their respective domain.

‘Our respective Formations and Commands have been alerted on the need to upscale security in the protection of the nation’s critical infrastructure in order to avert anything form of vandalism by hoodlums and unscrupulous elements who could hijack the protest.

‘Intelligence undercover and uniform personnel were also deployed across the States and the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Abuja to ensure the security of lives and property as some defiant individuals might turn out for the protest which has already been barred by court.

‘On this note the NSCDC wishes to reiterate its commitment to the discharging of its Statutory mandate in Safeguarding all Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, Disaster Management, Monitoring and Supervision of Private Guard Companies, Protection of Farmers and Crops to enhance Food Security amongst others,’ Afolabi stated in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.

He, however, warned that NSCDC would not succumb to any form of threats, disruption of peace, vandalism of government utilities, activities of economic saboteurs in the oil or mining sectors, attacks of its operatives and destruction of property.

He reaffirmed that as much as the civil populace reserves the right to meaningful gathering and freedom of association, the need to exercise caution and restraint is fundamental especially where court orders are applied.

Afolabi called on respective stakeholders to collaborate with the Corps in order to ensure the security of the national assets and infrastructure of the nation, noting that culpable suspects arrested would face the full wrath of the law.

The Jigawa State Government has approved the release of ?250 million as a matching fund for the procurement of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), to combat severe acute malnutrition (SAM) among children in the state.

The state Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Hon. Sagir Ahmed Musa, disclosed this in Dutse while briefing Tribune Online on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Umar Namadi.

According to him, ‘The Jigawa State Executive Council this afternoon approved the release of ?250 million as a matching fund for the procurement of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) in partnership with UNICEF.’

Musa explained that the approval reaffirms the Namadi administration’s commitment to tackling child malnutrition and improving health outcomes for children across the state.

‘This initiative underscores the administration’s dedication to addressing severe acute malnutrition among children under five and ensuring that no child in Jigawa is left behind in the fight against hunger and disease,’ he stated.

He described RUTF as a life-saving nutritional product used for community-based treatment of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, adding that the intervention-implemented in collaboration with UNICEF-will expand access to treatment for affected children across the state.

Musa further noted that Governor Namadi remains resolute in delivering impactful health and nutrition programmes targeting the most vulnerable groups, particularly children, to reduce child mortality and enhance long-term health outcomes.

He added that the state government will continue to strengthen its partnerships with international organisations and development partners to safeguard the well-being of every child and promote a healthier, more productive future for Jigawa State.

The Special Adviser to the Taraba State Governor on Legal Matters, Barr. Sani Marke, has said that Governor Agbu Kefas’ decision to align with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will open new opportunities for development in the state.

Marke described the move as a bold and forward-looking step aimed at achieving growth, stability, and inclusion for the people of Taraba State.

In a statement issued in Jalingo, Barr. Marke urged Governor Kefas to show courage and foresight by taking a step that goes beyond party lines and reflects genuine statesmanship.

He said the Governor’s decision to work closely with the Federal Government under the APC-led administration represents a practical approach to unlocking the state’s development potential.

‘It will be once again, a process that governor Kefas is a true patriot who puts the interest of Taraba first. The decision to align with the centre is not about political convenience but about expanding the frontiers of opportunities for our people. This strategic realignment will ensure that Taraba is not left behind in the developmental agenda of the Federal Government,’ Barr. Marke said.

The Special Adviser also commended leaders of the APC at the state and zonal levels, including Senator David Jimkuta, Barr. Uba Maigari Ahmadu, Senator Sani Abubakar Danladi, Hon. Jerry Manwe, Hon. Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi, and the North East Zonal Chairman, Comrade Mustapha Salisu, for welcoming Governor Kefas to the party.

He said their support reflects the Governor’s image as a bridge-builder and a leader committed to inclusive governance and peace across political divides.

‘The solidarity shown by the APC family in Taraba and the North East is commendable. It sends a strong message of unity and collective responsibility towards moving our dear state forward,’ Barr. Marke stated.

He called on all Tarabans, regardless of party affiliation, to support Governor Agbu Kefas at this moment, saying the Governor’s defection would mark the beginning of a new phase of progress and political stability in the state.

‘This is the time for all of us to unite behind a common vision of prosperity and transformation. The Governor has laid the foundation for a new Taraba, one that will benefit from national partnerships, federal collaboration, and renewed political harmony,’ he added.

Barr. Marke reaffirmed his loyalty and commitment to Governor Kefas’ leadership, pledging to mobilise support for his political agenda and re-election in 2027.

‘As a loyal aide and devoted supporter, I am fully aligned with His Excellency’s vision. I will work tirelessly to mobilise our people, galvanise stakeholders, and ensure that the Kefas Development Agenda continues beyond 2027. The Governor has redefined governance in Taraba, and the people will continue to stand by him,’ he declared.
