The centres visited included Tolu Community in Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government, Hello Lagos Adolescent and Youth Friendly Centre at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Iwaya Primary Health Centre Yaba, Lagos Mainland LGA, and Atan Street Empire Agege Motor Road.

Dr Victoria Isiramen, a Health Specialist with UNICEF Nigeria, stressed the importance of engaging young people on various health issues beyond sexual and reproductive health. She highlighted mental health, peer pressure, poor parental support, financial pressure, and stressful environments as crucial factors affecting young people.

Dr Ijeoma Agbo, another Health Specialist at UNICEF Nigeria, emphasized the significance of establishing functional Primary Health Centers (PHCs) across Wards to enhance access to health services at the grassroots level.

Dr Egemba Chinonso, a social media influencer known as 'Aproko Doctor,' praised UNICEF for empowering young people to discuss and address health concerns through their programs.

Lagos State Government Shuts School Over Four-Year-Old’s Defilement

Lagos State Government Takes Action: Greater Scholars International School Closed After Four-Year-Old's Defilement Incident

In response to the distressing incident of a four-year-old pupil being defiled, the Lagos State Government has taken decisive action by shutting down Greater Scholars International School, situated in Ajah. The incident involved the school's security guard, who allegedly committed the offence on April 27, 2023, while ostensibly helping the young pupil, named David James, with cleaning.

The accused, a 23-year-old individual named James, has been arraigned for the heinous act and is currently in custody. The legal proceedings unfolded before Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi at Magistrate’s Court 1 in Ogba. James faced a single count of sexual assault in the courtroom.

The victim's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Olusola, had taken their concerns to the public eye on May 25, 2023, appealing to the state government to intervene and close the school. Their plea was conveyed during a protest held at the school's entrance. The demonstration saw a gathering of individuals carrying placards, including friends, family members, and representatives from non-governmental organizations. The protesters demanded justice for the child and the school's immediate closure.

Images circulated online on Wednesday, revealing that the state Ministry of Education had officially sealed the school's premises.

Mr. Olusola, the victim's father, approved this course of action, stating, 'This development signifies that the Lagos State Government is actively engaged and committed to upholding justice. We are gratified that justice will prevail.'

The ongoing legal proceedings related to the case are set to resume on September 4, 2023.

I Won’t Disappoint – Keyamo Promises Tinubu After Ministerial Appointment

New Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, Commits to Delivering as He Expresses Gratitude to President Bola Tinubu

Festus Keyamo, recently appointed Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has assured President Bola Tinubu that he will uphold the responsibilities of his ministerial role without fail. The commitment was shared by Keyamo through his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday evening.

In his statement, he conveyed his gratitude to the President, saying, 'Thank you, Mr. President. On my honour, I promise not to disappoint.'

Notably, Keyamo previously served as the Minister of State for Labour and Employment in the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. His history in government positions lends experience to his new role.

During the process of his ministerial screening, an incident arose in the Senate when Senator Darlington Nwokocha (LP, Abia Central) accused Keyamo of insulting lawmakers in the Ninth Assembly. The situation led to an uproar within the Senate chamber.

However, after Senate President Godswill Akpabio intervened and restored order, Keyamo apologized and explained the incident."
