Bernardo Silva Signs Manchester City Contract Extension Until 2026

Bernardo Silva has signed a contract extension at Manchester City until 2026.

Silva, who joined City from Monaco in 2017, has won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League in his six years at the Etihad.

The treble-winners now have Silva for an extra year after he agreed to prolong his stay beyond 2025.

The Portugal attacking midfielder says he is staying put at City because it "gives me that opportunity to keep winning".

"I've had six incredible years at Manchester City, and I'm delighted to extend my time here," Silva, who had been attracting interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain this summer, said.

"I love the manager, my teammates and the fans and hope we can share even more great memories in the coming years."

Director of football Txiki Begiristain says Silva has "become one of the best players in the world" at City and believes the 29-year-old can help the club achieve even more success.

Lagos State Assembly Rejects 17 Commissioner-Nominees Over Indigene Concerns

The Lagos State House of Assembly has declined 17 of the 39 commissioner-nominees submitted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Notably, several rejected nominees had previously served as commissioners and special advisers during the governor's initial term.

Among the rejected nominees were Prof. Akin Abayomi (Health), Folashade Adefisayo (Education), Olalere Odusote (Energy), Gbenga Omotoso (Information and Strategy), Sam Egube (Economic Budget and Planning), Aramide Adeyoye (Works and Infrastructure), and Cecilia Dada (Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation).

Additionally, the lawmakers confirmed 22 other nominees, including former special adviser on education Tokunbo Wahab and Dolapo Fasawe, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency general manager.

In response, the Lagos State House of Assembly urged the confirmed nominees to prioritise serving the public's interests rather than individual agendas. The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa praised the thorough screening carried out by an ad-hoc committee led by Chief Whip Fatai Mojeed.

Meanwhile, the Epetedo Indigenes Association voiced their disappointment with the list and called Governor Sanwo-Olu to reevaluate his selection. The association's leaders criticised the imbalance in the nominee distribution and urged the state government and party leaders to ensure fairness and equity in the commissioner lineup.

India Becomes First Nation To Land Spacecraft Near Moon’s South Pole

India Achieves Historic Moon Landing at the South Pole with Chandrayaan-3.

In a monumental accomplishment for the world's most populous nation and its determined, cost-effective space program, India has become the first country to land a craft near the Moon's south pole successfully.

The unmanned Chandrayaan-3, meaning "Mooncraft" in Sanskrit, touched down at 6:04 pm India time (1234 GMT) amid exuberant cheers and embraces among mission control technicians.

This achievement follows recent incidents, including a Russian probe's crash in the same region. It also marks four years since India's previous attempt came close to success but ultimately fell short.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, brimming with pride, announced the mission's triumph in a live broadcast. He waved an Indian flag and extended the victory's significance beyond national borders, saying, "On this joyous occasion, I would like to address the people of the world... This success belongs to all of humanity."

The Chandrayaan-3 endeavour captured global attention over its nearly six-week journey, watched by thousands during its launch and fervently hoped for during Hindu prayer rituals performed by politicians. Schoolchildren were engaged in classrooms, following live broadcasts of the landing's critical moments.

Compared to the speedy Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, Chandrayaan-3 took a significantly longer journey to reach the Moon, underscoring the meticulous efforts behind this remarkable achievement.
