LASG To Commence Repairs At Odo Iya Alaro Today

Due to the deteriorating condition of the asphalt pavement and expansion joints on the Odo Iya Alaro Bridge, the Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion starting Monday, July 22, 2024, to facilitate emergency repairs.

In a statement, the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the repairs will occur in two phases over 90 days. The first phase will address the Ojota-bound lane, while the second phase will focus on the Yaba/Ojuelegba/Maryland-bound lane.

Alternative routes have been outlined for each phase. During the first phase, motorists heading to Ojota from Maryland/Yaba will be diverted into a counterflow on the Maryland-bound lane, while those heading to Yaba from Ojota will continue on the same lane.

For an alternative route, motorists from Berger, Magodo, and Tollgate along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are advised to go through the Alapere/Ogudu axis toward Gbagada/Anthony Oke Bridge, descend the ramp, and access Ikorodu Road. Motorists from Ikeja, Oregun, and Kudirat Abiola Way should use the Opebi Link Bridge to connect to Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way towards Sheraton, then proceed to Maryland to access Ikorodu Road.

Those coming from Jibowu are advised to use the Ikorodu Road Service lane by Mobil Fuel Station/Bertola Engineering Equipment Company to access Gbagada/Ogudu. Alternatively, they can use Theodolite to link Anthony Oke Ramp and rejoin Ikorodu Road to continue via Town Planning Way towards Gbagada/Ogudu/Alapere.

For the second phase, motorists inbound Maryland/Yaba from Ojota will be diverted into a counterflow on the Ojota-bound lane. Similar alternative routes from the first phase are applicable.

Osiyemi assured that sufficient traffic management personnel will be deployed to manage the situation and minimize inconvenience. He urged residents and motorists to cooperate with the interventions during the repair period.

July 22, 2024 Oshiomhole Urges Nigerians to Trust Tinubu’s Policies

Oshiomhole Urges Nigerians to Trust Tinubu’s Policies

Senator Adams Oshiomhole urges Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu's administration.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), inflation reached 34.19 percent in June 2024, highlighting the high cost of living driven largely by the floating of the naira and the removal of the fuel subsidy. Despite these challenges, Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North in the Senate, remains optimistic about Tinubu’s policies, calling for patience.

“You have to agree that some of the policy initiatives will require more than a year to materialize,” Oshiomhole said.

“What would the president gain by resorting to policy choices that are unlikely to deliver comfort in the long run? So, I think for me, it is about having faith that in the long run, these things will work out,” he added.

Joe Biden Withdraws From US Presidential Race Endorses Kamala Harris

President Joe Biden has announced that he will not seek re-election. Facing criticism from members of his party who believe his cognitive abilities are declining due to his age, 81, Biden made his decision known in a post on X.

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote in a statement on X.

Biden also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for the upcoming November election.

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” he posted on X on Sunday.

“Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

Biden’s endorsement significantly boosts Harris's chances of becoming the Democratic Party’s candidate to challenge former President Donald Trump, who has been formally declared the Republican Party's candidate, in the November election.

I’m Unofficial APC Member – Philip Shaibu

Reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, declared himself an unofficial member of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday. Although he remains a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), he acknowledged that he has not yet severed ties with the party.

Shaibu made these remarks during an appearance on a monitored program, explaining his support for the APC governorship candidate in Edo State, Monday Okpebholo. He stated that he no longer aligns with the PDP. "In PDP now, everybody can support whoever they like. The constitution guarantees that you can support who you like and you can belong to any political party," Shaibu said.

Recently, Shaibu donated campaign vehicles to Okpebholo, amidst his ongoing conflict with Governor Godwin Obaseki, which led to his impeachment as deputy governor. However, an Abuja Federal High Court reinstated Shaibu as deputy governor on Thursday.
