Concern is growing over the health of celebrity Anambra native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, alias Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki, who has reportedly gone partially blind in detention.

Nwangwu, arrested in February by operatives of the Agunechemba Vigilante Group for alleged offences bordering on money rituals, preparation of charms for criminals and other fetish practices, is said to be suffering severe health complications. His associates claim he is constantly rushed to a public hospital in Nnewi and has been kept in solitary confinement since his arrest.

Nwangwu’s arrest followed the implementation of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025, signed by Governor Charles Soludo, which outlawed traditional ritual practices believed to encourage criminality. He and two other native doctors were subsequently arraigned before a State High Court in Awka in April.

Associates of the detained spiritualist, however, alleged persecution and human rights violations, insisting that Nwangwu was being victimised for practising African Traditional Religion. They called on the government to grant him bail to enable him access medical care and to accelerate his trial.

An associate who pleaded anonymity said Nwangwu’s businesses have collapsed since his incarceration, with his hotels shutdown and staff laid off. ‘He’s losing his sight and his health is deteriorating fast. He needs proper medical attention,’ the source said.

Similarly, a businessman, Ebuka Uche, and socialite, Princess Njideka Ndiwe, added their voices to the call for Nwangwu’s bail, revealing that youths of Oba had appealled to Soludo during a recent visit to release the suspect.

‘Outside his religious practice, Akwa Okuko is a key player in the hospitality industry where he has a couple of hotels. He’s an employer of labour and pays his taxes to the state which invariably contributes to the development of the state.

‘He has three hotels with staff strength of about 80. He has also done Coorprate Social Responsibility. He has tarred roads; he gives them water, placed many indigent people on scholarship. He empowers youths yearly,’ they added.

A Lagos based lawyer, Francis Obumse, also argued that the Homeland Security Law violates sections 38 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution, which guarantee freedom of thought, conscience, religion and association.

He described the law as unconstitutional, noting that it criminalises aspects of African traditional religion. ‘Nigeria is a secular state. Any attempt to suppress traditional worship is a breach of fundamental human rights,’ he said.

Meanwhile, some residents of Anambra have appealed to Governor Soludo to consider Nwangwu’s deteriorating health and release him on compassionate grounds, pending the determination of his case.

Contacted for reaction, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Soludo, Christian Aburime, said he was not aware Nwangwu was going blind.

Aburime declined further comments on the issue, reminding the reporter that the case was still before the court and he would not want to be accused of contempt.

A high-level delegation from the Zamfara State Ministry of Finance had a knowledge-exchange visit to their counterparts in Lagos State with the primary objective to gain an in-depth understanding of the pioneering policy implementation and revenue management processes of the Lagos State Land Use Charge (LUC).

Welcoming the team to the Ministry, Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Abayomi Oluyemi, commended the delegation for choosing Lagos as a model for effective fiscal Management, noting that the state has continued to improve its internally generated revenue through transparent, technology-driven tax reforms and efficient land use administration.

Abayomi said, ‘It is a mandatory property tax that consolidates various property-related payments and provides a vital source of internally generated revenue for the government to address the expanding needs of the ever-increasing population of the state.

Paying the land use charge is considered a civic responsibility that supports the government’s effort to improve the socio-economic status of all residents.

Abayomi added, ‘We are pleased to share our experiences and lessons learned from administering the Land Use Charge. Lagos has consistently shown leadership in sub-national revenue generation, and we are always open to supporting our sister states in developing fiscal policies that drive development and improve the lives of our citizens.’

Leading the delegation from Zamfara State, Dr. Yakubu Sanusi, expressed his appreciation for Lagos State’s transparency and willingness to share knowledge.

‘We are deeply impressed by the sophistication and success of the Land Use Charge system in Lagos. This study tour has been immensely insightful, and the knowledge gained will be valuable as we explore ways to enhance our own revenue generation capabilities in Zamfara State. We are committed to adapting these best practices to our local context’.

The visit underscores a growing trend of peer learning among Nigerian states and highlights the Lagos State Land Use Charge policy as a national benchmark for effective property tax administration.

Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo dominated the men’s field in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, breaking the tape in two hours, two minutes and 23 seconds in his second race over the distance, while Ethiopian Hawi Feysa enjoyed a lopsided win in the women’s race.

The half-marathon world record holder Kiplimo crossed the finish line one minute and 31 seconds ahead of Amos Kipruto of Kenya, while Kenyan Alex Masai was third in 2:04:37.

Kiplimo, who finished second in his marathon debut in London this year, broke away by the 30-kilometre mark and had built a nearly one-minute cushion with five miles to go.

He peeked over his shoulder a few times during the last mile of the race but had nothing to worry about as he jogged through the final straight all by himself and sat down in sheer exhaustion a few metres after the finish.

‘To come here to win the race is a big achievement for me,’ he said after the race, telling a TV reporter he was hungry to go even faster.

Feysa, who finished third on the podium in Tokyo, appeared emotional through the final mile and fell to her knees after crossing the line in 2:14:56, while her compatriot Megertu Alemu was second in 2:17:18.

Tanzanian Magdalena Shauri took third in 2:18:03.

Feysa ran the last five miles of the race on her own, thriving in Chicago’s pristine, sunny conditions to shave more than two minutes off her personal best.

‘Winning here, it’s been amazing,’ she said via a translator. ‘I worked really hard, trained really hard to have this victory.’

The famously flat course is notorious for producing speedy times, with the late Kelvin Kiptum breaking the men’s record in 2:00:35 in 2023 and his fellow Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich breaking the women’s mark in 2:09:56 in 2024.

Chepngetich was provisionally suspended in July for the presence and use of a prohibited substance.

While there were no world records this time, Conner Mantz gave the home fans a thrill as he broke Khalid Khannouchi’s 23-year-old U.S. record, finishing fourth overall in 2:04:43.

Khannouchi set the previous U.S. mark of 2:05:38 in London.

Switzerland’s Marcel Hug obliterated the men’s wheelchair race in 1:23:20, finishing more than four minutes ahead of Britain’s David Weir, while American Susannah Scaroni won on the women’s side in 1:38:14, besting Swiss rival Manuela Schar by 49 seconds.

Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) as a key strategy for transforming the agriculture and livestock sector.

According to the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Ms. Abisola Olusanya, the initiative aims to enhance market linkages, strengthen agri-food supply systems, empower youth-led agribusinesses, and support community-based agricultural enterprises.

She explained that recent agreements have focused on strengthening value chains, promoting sustainable livestock production, supporting rice development, and expanding private sector investment in agribusiness and rural livelihoods.

Ms. Olusanya emphasised the vital role of the PPP model in driving innovation, mobilising investment, and improving service delivery across the sector. ‘Through these partnerships, we are building a more inclusive, resilient, and commercially viable agriculture sector that benefits our farmers and communities,’ she stated.

She noted that the government values the contributions of the private sector, youth-led enterprises, and other organisations as essential partners in fostering agricultural growth. The Ministry of Agriculture, she added, will continue to promote partnership approaches across all agricultural sub-sectors while maintaining a supportive policy environment for private sector participation.

Highlighting the state’s strong track record of collaboration with private investors, Ms. Olusanya said Lagos has been ‘putting in the infrastructure while the private sector has been making investments into the crops and the livestock sector.’ She stressed that this model of shared responsibility and investment continues to guide the sector’s expansion.

Since adopting this approach, the state has rolled out several flagship programmes designed to address specific systemic challenges within the agri-food value chain-from production and processing to distribution and consumption.

At the centre of these initiatives is the Food Systems Transformation Agenda, which Ms. Olusanya described as a ‘three-tiered agro-marketing strategy’ involving the Lagos Central Food Security Systems and Logistics Hub in Epe, Mid-Level Agro-Produce Hubs, and Last-Mile Food Distribution Outlets.

‘This Agenda is our blueprint for overhauling the entire value chain – making food more affordable, reducing post-harvest losses, and creating jobs,’ she explained.

She revealed that construction is already underway on several hubs. Phase 1 of the central hub at Ketu-Ereyun in Epe is nearing completion, while additional Mid-Level Hubs at Abijo (Ibeju-Lekki) and Dairy Farm (Agege) are expected to be ready before the end of the year.

‘More hubs are under construction in Opebi and Bombata, while other locations in Ikorodu, Lekki, and Festac have been identified for future expansion,’ she added.

To further stimulate food production, Ms. Olusanya said the state launched the ‘Produce for Lagos’ programme to secure food supplies from both local and out-of-state producers. ‘Lagos remains the single largest consumer of food in Nigeria. Through structured off-take agreements and a ?500 billion Guarantee Offtake Fund, we’re giving farmers the confidence to produce without the fear of price volatility,’ she noted.

To boost food supply further, she said the Lagos Rice Mill in Imota has been made more responsive to consumer demand. ‘With an annual output capacity of 2.5 million (50kg) bags of head rice, the mill has empowered over 500 rice farmers, created 2,000 jobs, and is cultivating paddy on over 1,500 hectares of land,’ she stated.

Ms. Olusanya also pointed to the Eko Agro Mechanization Programme (EKO AGROMECS) as part of the state’s modern approach to agriculture. The initiative employs a digital platform-similar to ride-hailing apps-to deliver farm machinery to smallholder farmers on demand. ‘Over 3,000 hectares have been cultivated with over 500 farmers benefiting directly,’ she confirmed.

Youth empowerment remains a central pillar of Lagos’ agricultural drive. Through the Lagos Agripreneurship Programme (LAP), over 4,400 young people and women have been trained, with 2,000 receiving assets and input support to start their agribusinesses. ‘We’re not just training them. We’re helping them access land, capital, and mentorship – turning agriculture into a viable career for our youth,’ she said.

In secondary schools, the Lagos Agric Scholars Programme (LASP) is transforming how young people perceive agriculture. The initiative integrates students into modern techniques such as hydroponics and aquaponics through Smart Agri Pyramid Systems (SAPs). With 12 demonstration centres established across public and private schools – including correctional facilities – Ms. Olusanya said the programme is ‘nurturing a new generation of environmentally conscious agri-scientists.’

On the livestock front, the state is addressing protein demand and animal health risks through a 750-hectare Cattle Feedlot Project in Igbodu, Epe. The facility aims to produce over 100,000 cattle annually under controlled, hygienic conditions. ‘It’s about food safety, traceability, and meeting the rising demand for beef in a modern way,’ she emphasised.

She further noted that fish farming is receiving a significant boost through the Lagos Aquaculture Centre of Excellence (LACE) – a public-private venture launched in May 2025. Located in Igbonla, Epe, the facility is projected to produce 50 million fingerlings, 2,000 tonnes of table fish, 20,000 tonnes of processed fish, and 24,000 tonnes of aquafeed annually.

Ms. Olusanya reiterated that Lagos State remains committed to leveraging public-private partnerships as a foundation for sustainable food systems. ‘Our goal is to make Lagos a leading model of agricultural transformation in Nigeria – one that is inclusive, technology-driven, and future-ready,’ she concluded.

AceRoyal Estates Homes Ltd is on the verge of delivering 105 luxury housing units in just 12 months, marking a major stride in bridging Nigeria’s housing deficit.

The development – Eko Paragon, a five-star hotel-style residential estate located in the serene Abijo G.R.A., Lagos, represents a new benchmark for innovation, comfort, and affordability in real estate investment.

Managing Director, AceRoyal Estates Homes, Dr. Endurance Agonor, revealed that construction, which commenced in February 2025, is nearing completion.

‘Just eight months in, 41 housing units are already fully fitted and ready. Eko Paragon embodies our commitment to delivering affordable yet luxurious housing solutions in collaboration with the Lagos State Property Development Corporation,( LSDPC)’ Agonor said.

Eko Paragon is strategically located within the secure and serene Abijo Government Reserved Area (G.R.A.), just a 10-minute drive from the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Notably, Abijo stands as the only G.R.A. on Lagos Island, offering both exclusivity and accessibility.

Designed to promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle, the estate features modern wellness and fitness facilities, including a gym, tennis courts, and spacious recreational areas.

With only 32 percent of its land area built up, residents enjoy ample greenery, private parking for two vehicles per unit, and additional spaces for visitors.

Inside, each residence showcases exceptional attention to detail – from expansive living areas and kitchens elegantly designed for ease, to bathrooms bigger than typical BQs in Lekki. The estate is also powered by a 24-hour electricity supply, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for all homeowners.

On the features of the estate, Agonor said it comprised of three-bedroom terrace duplexes with BQ, two-bedroom signature suites and one bedroom executive business suites.

‘Our goal is simple: to redefine modern living while keeping it affordable and accessible.’

‘We have mastered the art of blending comfort, class, elegance, and luxury – all at an unbeatable price,’ he insisted.

In a move described as a game changer in Nigeria’s real estate industry, Eko Paragon offers residents the exclusive benefit of 5-star hotel services within their homes.

‘Imagine enjoying all the privileges of a luxury hotel – breakfast in bed, professional chef services, laundry, and cleaning services, right from the comfort of your home,’ Dr. Agonor explained. ‘Eko Paragon provides that everyday premium hospitality experience.’

Describing the project as ‘an A-list affair,’ the CEO emphasized the exceptional level of investment, craftsmanship, and engineering that defines Eko Paragon.

‘From the deep foundation and top-tier materials to expert structural execution and scenic landscaping, every detail reflects our dedication to excellence,’ he said.

‘For us, there’s no better way to demonstrate our commitment than ensuring your investment is safe, secure, grows in value and worth more in returns.’

While commending the Lagos State Government for its ongoing partnership he canvassed for more collaborative efforts to expand access to decent and affordable housing across the State.

‘We appreciate the government’s support so far and call for continued support and collaboration to make projects like this even more impactful; reducing housing deficit and providing more affordable housing for everyone.’

French Open champion Coco Gauff captured her third WTA 1000 title and first in Wuhan after rallying from two breaks down in the second set to defeat fellow American Jessica Pegula 6-4 7-5 in Sunday’s final.

Gauff, who reached the Wuhan semi-finals last year, trailed 0-3 in the second set but clawed her way back, reducing the deficit to 3-5 before winning four straight games to seal victory in straight sets.

The 21-year-old secured her 11th career WTA singles title, adding to her WTA 1000 triumphs in Cincinnati (2023) and Beijing (2024), and reached her third final at this level in 2025 after runner-up finishes in Madrid and Rome.

Current world number three Coco Gauff, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, is the first woman in a decade to win nine consecutive hard-court finals, a feat last achieved by Serena Williams, who won 12 between the 2013 U.S. Open and 2015 Cincinnati.

Pegula and Gauff, former doubles partners who won titles together in Miami and Doha in 2023, played against each other in a final for the first time in their career.

‘When I came on tour, you (Pegula) were one of the first people to be nice to me and welcome me with open arms. And that really goes a long way and still goes a long way,’ Gauff said during the trophy presentation.

‘So I appreciate you. And it’s great to finally play in a final against you.’

Pegula, who beat world number one and defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday’s semi-final to end her 20-match unbeaten run in Wuhan, has played 27 three-set contests in 2025.

The 31-year-old’s last eight matches have all gone the distance, and she has won seven of them.

‘You’ve been playing a lot of three-setters – you’re a three-set queen,’ Gauff said.

‘I’d like to congratulate you on an incredible tournament. I was determined not to let you get there today because I felt the odds would be in your favour in a third set.’

A Qatari business delegation, led by a member of the country’s ruling family, Sheikh Abdulrahman Hamad N. H. Al-Thani, has announced plans to invest about $300 billion in various sectors of the Nigerian economy over the next decade.

The delegation announced this at the weekend in Lagos at a reception organised for its members by Elan Vert Nigeria Limited.

The visit is regarded as one of the most significant potential foreign direct investment (FDI) pledges in Nigeria’s recent history.

The Chairman of Elan Vert Nigeria Limited, Princess Adebowale Odutola, described the development as a ‘historic moment’ for Nigeria and a reflection of investor confidence in the reforms championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

‘Today, we’re making history in Nigeria. We have investors who love Nigeria and have come to explore what we have in the country. They’re investing about $300 billion in various sectors of the economy, including aviation, agriculture, renewable energy, infrastructure, oil and gas, mining.

‘They are from Qatar. Before the last World Cup in their country, investors were flocking to Qatar to capitalise on its potential. After the World Cup, they decided to look elsewhere to reinvest their profits, and Nigeria is the latest bride.

‘Let me quote them: ‘If you do not invest in Nigeria between now and the next 10 years, you’re locked out.’ After that, there will be nothing to invest in again in Nigeria, because by then we’ll be reaping our returns on equity,’ Odutola said.

According to her, the delegation will go to Abuja to evaluate the sectors they need to engage with to kick-start their investment journey in the country.

‘So, tell me, who says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is not working? The investors are coming in because of the potential they see, based on the reforms being carried out by the administration,’ she added.

Expressing optimism, Princess Odutola said people will start buying Nigerian passports 10 years from today, describing the Qatari investment as a turning point in the country’s economic transformation.

‘Let’s give ourselves 10 years, and people will begin to buy Nigerian passports; they will want to be Nigerians. The sort of foundation President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is laying will soon begin to yield dividends. The administration has paid off debts, stabilised the economy, and created an environment where investors now have confidence to come in. Nigeria is open for business,’ she added.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Future Union Group, Dr. Abdelgalil Sharaf, expressed optimism about the partnership and reaffirmed the group’s confidence in Nigeria’s economic potential.

The businessman said the group was dedicated to providing comprehensive support for investments and investors across African nations.

‘Its primary objective is to channel Arab funds into the development of Africa’s vast resources through strategic investment in various sectors. These initiatives are guided by sound economic and commercial principles aimed at stimulating growth and strengthening African economies.

‘We are happy to be in Nigeria. We thank Princess Adebowale and the people of Nigeria for their hospitality. We are looking forward to a rich collaboration in sectors like aviation, oil and gas, and infrastructure,’ he said.

A former PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State and now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor), said the announcement was proof that Nigeria’s new economic direction under President Tinubu is restoring global investor confidence.

‘Before this administration came on board, Nigeria’s reputation regarding foreign investments had become sad, especially with the forex policies that made it difficult for investors to repatriate their funds. However, this government has introduced reforms that have made the country an attractive investment destination again.

‘Investors can now repatriate their funds with ease. With the stability of the foreign exchange market and our growing GDP, Nigeria is now the number one investment destination in Africa,’ Adediran said.

Also, Deputy Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, hailed the development as a testament to effective collaboration between the public and private sectors.

‘Developments like this show that the collaboration between the public sector and the private sector is top-notch and will definitely make our nation thrive,’ Kasunmu said.

‘Investors are no longer moving out of the country; they’re coming in. We’re regaining our past glory as big manufacturing companies return. Electricity and telecommunications reforms are helping Nigeria find its feet again.’

He assured the investors that adequate legislation was being put in place at both the federal and state levels to safeguard the interests of foreign investors.

A construction and real estate solutions company, Legendary Foreshore International Limited has been formally inducted into the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC).

The NBCC provides a critical platform for businesses to connect, collaborate and drive trade relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

The Chamber’s induction of Legendary Foreshore marks a strategic step in strengthening the firm’s international profile while deepening its contributions to innovation and sustainable growth in the built environment sector.

Its recognition of the company, which has operations in Nigeria and Ghana, underscores the company’s growing reputation as a trusted player in construction, real estate, and infrastructure development.

The NBCC explained that Legendary Foreshore earned the induction based on a proven track record of excellence spanning more than a decade.

The company, under its Managing Director, Mr. Victor Ojonugwa Ameh, has successfully executed landmark projects across Nigeria and Ghana with consistent emphasis on quality, integrity, and innovation.

Other factors highlighted by the NBCC include its alignment with the Chamber’s mission of bilateral growth, its embrace of sustainable construction practices such as solar-powered developments and smart-home technologies, and its strong economic impact through job creation and local capacity building.

Speaking on the milestone, Ameh described the induction as both an achievement and a call to greater responsibility.

‘Being inducted into the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce is not just a recognition of where we are, but also a signal of where we are going,’ he said.

‘At Legendary Foreshore, we are committed to building trust, value, and legacy. Through this platform, we look forward to stronger collaborations, access to global opportunities, and contributing meaningfully to the future of construction and real estate in Nigeria and beyond,’ Ameh stated.

With the NBCC platform, Legendary Foreshore is expected to broaden its network of international partners while reinforcing its role in shaping sustainable communities and driving economic growth.

Two sisters traveling on NG EAGLE flight were seen fighting yesterday after missing their flight at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

According to the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu, the sisters scattered luggage and other items.

He said the airport security intervened by taking the siblings to the interrogation office, but their anger didn’t subside; they were said to be exchanging blows until one of the sisters fainted.

Achimugu, in a post on his official X handle @mikeachimugu01, noted that despite the severity of the situation, the other sister insisted that the problem was spiritual, refusing medical attention.

The post reads: ‘The strangest thing happened at the Abuja airport. Two sisters, both adults, booked to travel via a NG EAGLE flight. They missed the flight because they were late.

‘Perhaps one of them blamed her sibling for their missing flight (not sure), but these two siblings began to fight each other. They scattered luggage and other items before being dragged to the interrogation office by airport security.

‘Inside, they began to fight again until one of them fainted. Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital. She is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic. Hopefully, she makes a recovery. This is not how things should be’.
