Politics › LASTMA Mayors: Pioneering Civic Synergy In Lagos Traffic Governance by Godspowerpro(op): 11:53pm On Oct 03, 2025
LASTMA MEDIA MAYORS: PIONEERING A NEW EPOCH OF CIVIC SYNERGY IN LAGOS TRAFFIC GOVERNANCE.

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
.


By Adebayo Taofiq

Lagos, the pulsating nucleus of Africa’s urban civilization, is a metropolis in perpetual motion. Home to over twenty-two million souls, it is often celebrated as a city that never sleeps. Its labyrinthine highways, elevated flyovers, and teeming commercial corridors are incessantly animated by a kaleidoscopic array of vehicles, pedestrians, and entrepreneurial activity. This relentless dynamism forms both the bedrock of Nigeria’s economic engine and the recurrent ordeal of urban gridlock, daily testing the patience and resilience of its citizens.

Orchestrating order within this complex mesh of human and vehicular movement is no trifling task. It demands not only discipline, fortitude, and dexterity but also innovation, adaptability, and a pervasive culture of civic responsibility. For decades, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has borne the herculean responsibility of supervising this formidable traffic ecosystem. Its officers, instantly recognizable in their mustard-yellow uniforms, have become emblematic custodians of order amid the city’s often chaotic thoroughfares.

Yet, as Lagos expands inexorably and vehicular volumes surge beyond projected thresholds, the Agency’s mandate becomes progressively daunting. Enforcement alone, no matter how rigorous, can no longer suffice. It is within this context that the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, unveiled a pioneering and visionary initiative: the establishment of LASTMA Media Mayors.

Far from being ceremonial or symbolic, these Media Mayors constitute a newly inducted cadre of civic ambassadors entrusted with amplifying LASTMA’s communications, supporting the Agency’s personnel in operational endeavors, and functioning as a responsive conduit between the motoring populace and the Authority. Launched with considerable fanfare at LASTMA Headquarters in Oshodi, the initiative has been heralded as a transformative milestone in Nigeria’s urban transportation narrative. Beneath the pomp of the occasion, however, lies an onerous responsibility, meticulously articulated by Bakare-Oki himself and solemnly entrusted to these new stewards of civic partnership.

LASTMA’s Mandate and the Reformist Vision of Bakare-Oki
Since its inception, LASTMA has stood as the principal custodian of traffic governance in Lagos, mandated to facilitate seamless vehicular flow, enforce regulatory compliance, and safeguard public roadways. The Authority has thus become one of the most visible instruments of Lagos State’s public service architecture. Like any dynamic institution, however, its effectiveness is contingent upon visionary leadership and the embrace of progressive innovations.

Under the stewardship of Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, LASTMA has undergone a veritable renaissance. A reform-minded technocrat with an unyielding vision, Bakare-Oki has implemented measures that transcend traditional traffic enforcement paradigms. Notably, the inauguration of the Agency's toll free hotline (080000527862) and the deployment of drone technology for real-time traffic surveillance an unprecedented initiative in Lagos has revolutionized the monitoring, analysis, and management of congestion. His tenure has also witnessed an intensification of advocacy campaigns, enhanced officer training, and a substantial deepening of community engagement.

Bakare-Oki’s insight lies in recognizing that technology and enforcement, though indispensable, are insufficient to fully address the unique complexities of Lagos traffic. Equally vital is social capital—the power of communication, persuasion, and citizen participation. It is this understanding that precipitated the conception of the LASTMA Media Mayors.

The genesis of the Media Mayors emanates from a profound observation: the culture of traffic compliance is shaped less by statute than by perception, information dissemination, and collective behavioral norms. In an era dominated by instantaneous communication via social media, radio, television, and community networks, the influence of trusted communicators and opinion leaders is paramount in molding civic conduct.

LASTMA discerned that to deepen public compliance and broaden cooperative engagement, it required a new class of advocates individuals capable of operating outside the rigidity of uniformed enforcement while bearing the moral authority of civic ambassadors. These are not ordinary citizens but esteemed voices with the ability to amplify the Agency’s policies, educate the populace, and transmit authentic feedback from the grassroots.

Consequently, the Media Mayors were inaugurated not as substitutes for uniformed officers, but as complementary agents, bridging the interface between the Agency and the millions of Lagosians whose lives are shaped daily by the ebb and flow of urban traffic.

In his keynote address at the induction ceremony, Bakare-Oki outlined, with deliberate precision, the duties incumbent upon the Media Mayors. He emphasized that these are not discretionary obligations but solemn responsibilities essential to the success of this civic experiment.
a). Advocacy and Public Enlightenment
The foremost responsibility is traffic advocacy. Leveraging their platforms whether through social media, radio broadcasts, community forums, or market sensitizations the Mayors are tasked with amplifying LASTMA’s voice. Their mission is to embed the principles of road safety, voluntary compliance, and respect for traffic regulations into the very fabric of Lagosian life.
b). Feedback and Grassroots Intelligence
Perhaps the most revolutionary role of the Media Mayors is their function as a feedback mechanism. Acting as the “eyes and ears” of the Agency within communities, they are to gather public concerns, commendations, and complaints, providing LASTMA with actionable grassroots intelligence. This two-way communication transforms the Agency into a more adaptive, responsive institution, where policy formulation is informed by lived realities rather than purely top-down directives.
c). Community Engagement
The Mayors are expected to embed themselves within the social fabric of Lagos, engaging markets, religious institutions, transport unions, and youth organizations. By doing so, they domesticate LASTMA’s campaigns, ensuring that traffic awareness transcends billboards and jingles to become a shared, community-owned creed.
d). Ambassadorship of LASTMA’s Image
Beyond communication, the Mayors must personify LASTMA’s values of professionalism, integrity, and service. Their comportment—both on the roads and in public engagements—must reflect discipline and responsibility, thereby serving as living exemplars of the civic culture LASTMA seeks to instill.
e). Support During Peak Traffic Periods
During high-traffic seasons, such as festive holidays, major events, and the Ember Months, the Media Mayors will bolster LASTMA’s advocacy efforts through roadshows, town hall engagements, and broadcast programs.
Their involvement aims to reinforce the imperative of safe driving, reducing accidents and safeguarding lives.

A recurring emphasis in Bakare-Oki’s remarks was that the Media Mayors are not substitutes for uniformed officers. The men and women in yellow remain the backbone of traffic enforcement, stationed across intersections and thoroughfares, enduring sweltering heat and torrential rains to maintain order.
Rather, the Mayors act as partners in persuasion, mitigating the friction between enforcement and compliance. In a metropolis where motorists may perceive traffic officers as punitive rather than preventive, the Media Mayors humanize LASTMA, reframing it as a collaborative ally.
Through explanation, mediation, and narrative storytelling, they foster voluntary compliance the most sustainable form of civic order.

Perhaps the most transformative feature of the Media Mayors initiative is the formalization of feedback as a strategic policy instrument. Historically, public agencies in Nigeria have struggled to institutionalize genuine two-way communication, with sporadic reports and bureaucratic delays often undermining citizen input.
The Media Mayors rectify this by collating public sentiments, identifying recurring bottlenecks, and highlighting innovative community-driven suggestions. This living reservoir of civic intelligence enables LASTMA to recalibrate policies, optimize operations, and target advocacy with precision.
Intersections identified as persistent choke points can receive targeted interventions, while public confusion over traffic regulations can be mitigated through bespoke campaigns. In this sense, the Mayors evolved from communicators to co-creators of policy outcomes.

Towards a New Civic Culture
Analysts posit that the initiative could recalibrate Lagosian civic consciousness in profound ways:
From Enforcement to Cooperation – Transforming traffic governance from a battleground between motorists and officers into a shared civic responsibility.

A Data-Driven LASTMA – Structured feedback loops will render the Agency more responsive, intelligence-led, and adaptive.
Enhanced Public Trust – By humanizing LASTMA through relatable emissaries, voluntary compliance rooted in trust rather than coercion becomes attainable.

Voices at the induction ceremony extolled the initiative. One newly inducted Mayor described the role as “a civic priesthood, mediating between the imperatives of law and the lived realities of the people.” Transportation analysts lauded the Agency for embracing participatory governance, noting that global megacities thrive in traffic management only when citizens are actively engaged in shaping policy. Ordinary Lagosians expressed cautious optimism, appreciating the Mayors’ potential to clarify regulations and bridge understanding between the public and enforcement officers.

Conclusion: Cultivating a Shared Civic Order
The induction of the LASTMA Media Mayors transcends administrative innovation; it is a bold experiment in democratic civic partnership. It embodies Bakare-Oki’s conviction that the future of Lagos traffic management lies not solely in technology or enforcement but in the synergy of law, advocacy, and citizen participation.

By entrusting the Media Mayors with dual responsibilities of advocacy and feedback, LASTMA has effectively democratized traffic governance, sowing the seeds of a collective civic order. The initiative underscores a timeless truth: road safety is not the burden of uniformed officers alone but a shared societal creed.

As these civic stewards embark upon their mandate, Lagosians will watch attentively not merely to witness how they amplify LASTMA’s voice, but how they embody its vision of a safer, more disciplined, and harmonious metropolis. Should this initiative flourish, it may well serve as a model for other Nigerian cities and a global exemplar of urban civic partnership in traffic governance.

Politics › Nigeria At 65: Students Urge President Tinubu, Governors To Prioritize Teachers by Godspowerpro(op):
Nigeria At 65: TPHS School Students Urge President Tinubu, Governors To Prioritize Teachers' Welfare, Educating Out-Of-School Children 

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.



As Nigeria marks her 65th Independence anniversary, pupils of the The President Height Schools, (TPHS) has join millions of compatriots in celebrating Nigeria’s resilience, creativity and enduring spirit, citing that the sheer resilience of the teeming population and vast potentials of its youths as key components of the country’s greatness for the years ahead.

Meanwhile, the students of TPHS Schools have urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the 36 state Governors to prioritize teachers welfare as a way of making the country's education tower high among the rest of the world. They lamented the low pay, lack of health insurance policy, low retirement benefits that accrue to teachers both at the public and private schools. They hinted that this is one of the reasons that the current generation believes that education is a scam and that the teaching profession cannot attract the best brains.

The students made the appeal during the celebrations of the country's 65th Independence anniversary held at the school premises on Tuesday 30th September, 2025 where all the students were dressed in Green White Green Attires while each students held the Nigeria's flag in their hands to show patriotism.

The school administrator, Abayomi Oyelami highlighted the importance of policy formulation and entrenching sustained efforts as a way to improve Nigeria's education across all levels. He encouraged the schoolchildren to show interest in national issues and think of ways that they can participate in shaping and influencing policies for socioeconomic development.

His speech was followed by the school's 65th commemorative Independence Anniversary plenary moderated by Amadi Samuel of JSS 1 Class and Ajibade Peter in SSS 1 with fellow students as speakers including Eneh Favour - JSS 3, Emmanuella Balogun - JSS 2, Eneh David - JSS 2, Marvelous Nwachukwu of JSS 2, Olowolafe Iyanu in JSS 2, Ajibade Naomi of JSS 2, David Anderson in SSS 1, Prince Monday in JSS 2, Hyacinth Testimony in JSS 1, Ugbo Samuel of JSS 3, and Ekundayo Anuoluwapo of JSS 3.

The schoolchildren highlighted the importance of prioritizing teachers welfare citing that the teachers of today ought to be better than those of yesteryears because of the availability of cutting edge technology and other materials available.

However, the teachers are demoralized due to low pay, lack of health insurance policy, low retirement benefits, and other incentives which could make them excited about the noble profession.

Many individuals are abandoning the profession for other lucrative businesses while those who stay are seeking greener pastures overseas through the current japa syndrome.

Thus, teachers both at the public and private school are not giving their best. Some teachers are rather found using abusive words, foul language, and resorting to search engines and AI tools like ChatGPT alone instead of reading books, researching relevant materials, and thinking how to bring the knowledge in a simple format for the children.

They also encouraged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the 36 state Governors to make the primary and secondary education free in order to reduce the burden of out-of-school children in the country. 'Education development is a shared responsibility, we encourage parents to play their primary roles in raising their children rather than going out to register for special centers or aid exams malpractices, and teachers should continue to give their best, while the government makes education attractive for young people', they concluded.

Politics › Lagos Set For Africa's Season 2 Powerboat Racing Championship Series by Godspowerpro(op): 8:46am On Oct 01, 2025
Lagos Set for Africa's First Electric Powerboat Racing Championship, Announces Traffic Diversions

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
.


Lagos state is gearing up to host Africa’s maiden Electric Powerboat Racing Championship (E1 Series), and the city’s roads are set to feel the ripple effect of the landmark sporting event.

In a press statement released to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP and e-signed by the Lagos State Honorable Commissioner of Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi stated that, the announced traffic diversions is to ensure a seamless experience for both commuters and participants. The event is scheduled to run from Friday, October 3rd, to Sunday, October 5th, 2025, on the Victoria Island Lagoon.

According to the state government, the championship promises to attract global attention as Lagos becomes the first African city to welcome the futuristic E1 Series, which features electric-powered speedboats racing across waterways.

In anticipation of the crowd and logistical demands, authorities say the 1st Lekki Junction inward Ozumba Mbadiwe Road will be completely closed to traffic for the duration of the race. The move, they explained, is necessary to ease congestion and provide a safe environment around the event corridor.

Motorists are not left stranded, however, as several alternative routes have been mapped out. For those heading from Ajah into Lekki, the government advised making a U-turn at the Lekki 1st Junction by the pedestrian bridge. From there, drivers can navigate through Yesufu Abiodun, Maroko Police Station, City of David, and Ligali Ayorinde before connecting to Ajose Adeogun, Eko Hotel Roundabout, and onward to Ahmadu Bello Way.

Another option awaits motorists traveling from Ajah toward CMS. They can use the Abraham Adesanya route, link Ogonbo Road, continue through Okun Ajah Road, and connect via the Coastal Road to Ahmadu Bello Way before proceeding to Independence Bridge and McEwen/Onikan.

For drivers within Lekki heading toward Ikoyi or the Mainland, the Admiralty Way remains the preferred choice. It links to the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge, providing easy access through Alexander, Bourdillon, Gerrard, and Osborne Road.

Similarly, motorists from Lekki en route to CMS are advised to go through Yesufu Abiodun, connect Oniru Road, link Aboyade Cole, and drive down Ligali Ayorinde before merging onto Eko Hotel Roundabout and Ahmadu Bello Way.

Not all traffic will be restricted. Commuters traveling from CMS and Independence Bridge through Ozumba Mbadiwe toward the Lekki-Epe Expressway will enjoy unhindered movement straight to Ajah and beyond.

To further ease congestion, the government has announced designated parking spaces at Fidelity Bank, Access Bank, and the Nigerian Law School premises, all located in Victoria Island. These facilities will serve as holding bays for vehicles of spectators and participants.

Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) are also expected to be strategically deployed across affected routes to ensure free-flowing traffic and to assist motorists unfamiliar with the diversions.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, assured residents that the measures are temporary and necessary to support Lagos’ ambition of becoming a hub for world-class sporting events.

He added that the Coastal Road will remain open throughout the two-day road diversion, offering some relief to commuters who may be worried about gridlock.

“Motorists are implored to be patient and cooperate with traffic officials,” the commissioner stated. “This diversion plan is part of our broader traffic management strategy to support the successful hosting of the E1 Boat Race.”

As Lagos transforms its waterways into a global sporting stage, residents are being reminded that while there may be temporary inconvenience on the roads, the event itself marks a historic moment for the city, signaling its growing reputation as a modern, innovative, and vibrant destination.

Politics › LASTMA Apprehends Togolese Driver Following A Lethal Speed-induced Crash by Godspowerpro(op): 4:09am On Sep 30, 2025
LASTMA APPREHENDS TOGOLESE DRIVER FOLLOWING A LETHAL SPEED-INDUCED CRASH AT ADENIJI ADELE INTERSECTION, INWARD ILUBIRIN, LAGOS ISLAND
 
Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

 
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) demonstrated its vigilance and operational resolve in safeguarding lives, as its operatives intervened in a harrowing road traffic catastrophe earlier today at the Adeniji Adele Intersection, inward Ilubirin, Lagos Island, involving a negligent Togolese motorist, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.

Preliminary inquiries disclosed that the Togolese operator of a Mazda automobile, bearing registration number EPE 749 GS, while recklessly propelling the vehicle at an unlawful velocity, lost control and brutally struck a pedestrian who was attempting to cross the roadway. The forceful impact grievously injured the victim, leaving him sprawled in a pool of blood.

In a brazen bid to elude justice, the culpable driver attempted to abscond from the scene with his vehicle.

Nonetheless, through an expeditious chase and deft tactical maneuvering, LASTMA officers apprehended the fugitive motorist and promptly transferred him into the custody of security operatives from the Adeniji Adele Police Division for comprehensive interrogation and subsequent prosecution.

Emergency medical responders from the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS), swiftly activated by LASTMA personnel, conveyed the severely injured pedestrian to the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island, where urgent and life-saving treatment was immediately administered.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, sternly admonished motorists to embrace an uncompromising sense of safety consciousness whenever behind the wheel, emphasizing that excessive speed continues to be a primary precipitant of needless tragedies on Lagos roadways.

While conveying his profound sympathies to the accident victim, Mr. Bakare-Oki fervently wished the injured pedestrian a rapid and full recovery, reaffirming the Authority’s steadfast dedication to protecting human lives and preserving orderliness across the State’s transportation corridors.

Politics › LASTMA GM, Inducts NAOSNP President, 11 Others As LASTMA Media Mayors by Godspowerpro(op): 10:46pm On Sep 25, 2025
LASTMA GM, Bakare-Oki Inducts NAOSNP President Oki, 11 others as LASTMA Media Mayors

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
.


The National President of foremost security news beat association, National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP), Comrade Oki O. Samson has been conferred with the honor of a LASTMA Media Mayor. The formal induction ceremony and noble investiture which held yesterday Wednesday 24th of September, 2025 at the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA Headquarters in Oshodi, Lagos also had 11 other respected Media bigwigs receiving the same honor.

The other newly inducted LASTMA Traffic Mayors include Executive Editor of TVC News, Kayode Ladeinde; Director of Programs at Traffic Radio, Victor Oteri; Joshua Morakinyo of LTV; Okunade Folarin of Bond 92.9 FM; Opeyemi Makinde of Adamimogo 93.1 FM; Publisher of Integrity News TV, Adeola Oluwole; and Managing Director of National Moments News Online, Kazeem Bakenne; Soares Olaniyi of Mainland FM among others.

The eminent nomination as a LASTMA Media Mayor accorded Oki O. Samson is in recognition of his grand efforts at enhancing the prompt reportage of news and current affairs from the traffic safety agency and aims to intricately integrate him into the noble enterprise of traffic governance, regulation, and control within the Lagos metropolis.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki speaking on the “LASTMA Media Mayor” initiative during the colourful investiture ceremony highlighted: 'I seize this opportunity to express my profound appreciation to our devoted officers and management staff, whose unwavering commitment underpins the vision and operational excellence of LASTMA.'

'The “LASTMA Media Mayor” initiative was conceived as a forward-looking platform to formally integrate journalists into the operational matrix of traffic governance in Lagos. The programme is designed to: Amplify collaboration between LASTMA and media practitioners in the real-time dissemination of critical traffic intelligence; Constitute a dedicated corps of journalist-advocates, entrusted with enhancing LASTMA’s public education and road safety campaigns; and Promote transparency, engender trust, and ensure mutual accountability among our officers, road users, and the broader citizenry.'

Bakare-Oki charged: 'By inducting you today as LASTMA Media Mayors, we confer upon you not merely a ceremonial accolade but a profound fiduciary responsibility to serve as the voice, the conscience, and the reflective mirror of our collective aspiration for a Lagos in which traffic discipline and orderliness prevail unfailingly.'

'As Media Mayors, your mandate encompasses: 'The dissemination of accurate, timely, and actionable traffic information to enable commuters to make informed mobility choices; The exposure of infractions, malpractices, and systemic lapses on our roads with the utmost objectivity, integrity, and professional diligence; Active partnership in public enlightenment, continually reminding Lagosians that compliance with traffic regulations constitutes both civic duty and societal virtue; and The provision of constructive, evidence-based feedback to empower LASTMA to refine its strategies and deliver world-class service to the populace.'

In the same vein, the Director, Traffic Advocacy and Special Traffic Mayor, LASTMA, Mr. Awoyemi Jimmy added: 'This induction ceremony symbolizes a new beginning in manpower, and it's based on the initiative of the General Manager, who has deem it fit that It is very necessary that we bring on board the media personalities to assist us in hyping and highlighting some of our big achievements. It's very symbiotic. We hope that you will assist us in making the members of the public know what we have been doing. I specially want to welcome you all, and I see that you're coming on board to bring about greater and excellent achievements in the mission and goals of LASTMA.'

In his response, the NAOSNP President, Oki O. Samson stated: 'I want to thank you, GM, for this great innovation and your transformative leadership. Indeed, while we came earlier, I was telling some of my colleagues, that if you notice for the last one year, there has been a decline in unruly behavior that is associated with LASTMA officers. LASTMA just celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and we know what LASTMA used to be many years ago with unprofessional conduct like touting, fighting, etc. There used to be stories of LASTMA officers running after vehicles or getting involved in fighting with drivers on steering. I remember a story, few years ago, that involved a LASTMA officer and a military officer, that were fighting publicly, which the media tagged as a show of shame.'

'But today, we find that, since
you assumed the office as GM, LASTMA has been calm, I don't know the magic you initiated but my belief is the training you initiated because under your administration, there has been so many training, retraining and orientation engagement. If you are planning a megacity where investors around the whole world are coming every day, then we need to have a state traffic agency that is civil and also going to engage technology in its operations. Mr . Governor of Lagos State has been talking about THEMES+ Agenda of which traffic management is a key focus so this agency has to align
.'

The NAOSNP President assured: 'I want to restate that we will deliver excellently as LASTMA MAYORS and give the agency the best of our support and commitment In order to continue to have free flow of traffic and safer and secure roads in Lagos.'

[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirms the tragic accident that occurred earlier today along Ijora causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

In a press statement e-signed and released to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP by LASTMA's Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, Mr. Adebayo Taofiq stated that, "The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) hereby confirms the occurrence of a most lamentable accident earlier today along Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up, involving a Apple fully laden 40-foot container truck XP 368 AKD which overturned upon a commercial tricycle KJA 364 QN conveying unsuspecting passengers."

According to the statement, "Preliminary findings indicate that the articulated vehicle, while attempting a precarious maneuver beneath the Ijora Bridge, lost control and consequently capsized, fatally crushing on to a tricycle in its path. Regrettably, two passengers among them a serving Police Officer were killed instantly."

"The remains of the deceased Police Officer were subsequently conveyed to a morgue at Yaba by security operatives, while grief-stricken relatives of the second victim, a female passenger, hastened to the scene to retrieve the remains of their loved one."

"To avert a descent into chaos, combined detachments of security personnel drawn from Badia, Trinity, and Kirikiri Police Divisions established robust security cordons. Their decisive presence pacified irate onlookers, who had attempted to set the containerized truck ablaze, and safeguarded the emergency responders throughout the duration of the rescue operations."

"The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, has expressed profound condolences to the bereaved families of the late Police Officer and the deceased female passenger, describing the tragedy as deeply grievous and most regrettable."

Christianity Etc › The Day We Got Married- Arch Bishop Margaret Idahosa by Godspowerpro(op):
Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.



“The day we got married, my husband didn’t have a car, we only had a motorcycle. Yamaha, Yamaha 200, that was what we had. The day we got married, we borrowed our car. Our car took us to church and brought us back to the reception.
Before the reception was over, the owner of the car told my husband that he had a place to go, so, he took the car. Then, we did our reception in the frontage of one of the in-law’s house.
“The in-law was coming back from Lagos and “he told his wife”, listen, I don’t want to meet any crowd at the front of my house. So, we hurried things over and when it was time for us to go home, there was no car. I had to tiptoe, my husband had to carry my veil and we had about 8 houses before we got to our house.
My husband carried my veil, we both walked or trekked to the house,” she narrated.
Why am I saying this?
“I’m saying this to tell our young ladies that it’s not everything you must have." If I want a limousine to take me to church now, it’s at my beckon and I will get it, but then, there was none.
But you see, don’t allow the position that you are in now to dictate your future because your future is bright, your future is great, your future is powerful. So, don’t let what you have now disturb you at all.
My husband said before he left, he said where you are coming from is “hind”, that is, it’s behind you. There’s nothing to write home about where you are coming, but where you are now you are not perturbed because you know where you are going.

Celebrities › Broken Crayons Still Color- Challenged UNILAG Graduate, Susan Uko, Testifies by Godspowerpro(op): 1:28pm On Sep 21, 2025
Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.



Today, I turn 30. 🎂✨
This week, I also became a graduate after 10 SSCE exams, 7 years of strikes, COVID breaks, and health challenges. 🎓

I wish I could tell you I planned a whole photoshoot for this big day. Truth is, I couldn’t, exams and finances wouldn’t let me. But I'm very thankful for @milan_documentaries who took out time to take me these beautiful pictures.

There was a time I thought I’ll never see this day. After my surgeries, I questioned whether I would ever walk into classrooms again, let alone graduate. After my extra year in school, I felt left behind, broken, and almost forgotten. There were nights of silent tears, mornings of heavy pain, and moments I wondered if life had passed me by. But my God… 🙏🏽

At 30, I’m not just celebrating a new age, I’m celebrating survival. I’m celebrating every scar that tells my story, every delay that proved God’s timing is perfect, every closed door that made way for His open ones. I’m celebrating the strength I never knew I had, and the woman I have fought, cried, prayed, and grown into.

Along the way, life gave me more responsibility than I ever imagined. I found myself stepping in to take care of my siblings, being their shoulder, their guide, and even their provider by God's grace. It's hasn't been easy, but it has given my journey deeper meaning. Every sacrifice, every prayer, every stretch has been worth it, because their growth has become part of my own testimony. My scars remind me that broken crayons still color. My journey proves that delay is not denial. My life testifies that beauty truly rises from ashes.

So today, I lift my hands in gratitude. For life, for healing, for resilience, for my siblings, for the gift of turning 30 not empty-handed, but crowned with testimony.

And if anyone is moved to give me a birthday gift, my only wish this year is to buy a tablet for my younger brother. He needs it for his coding classes in school, and it would mean the world to me if this milestone also became a blessing for him. 🙏

Here’s to a new decade. Here’s to graduation. Here’s to a future filled with love, purpose, and endless grace.

Forever grateful. ✨

Crime › Femicides Remain A Major Violence Against Women- Police Report by Godspowerpro(op): 8:14pm On Sep 19, 2025
Femicides Remain A Major Violence Against Women, As CP Jimoh, Force Pathologist Keshinro, Justice Alogba Present Police Report On Femicide In Lagos 

By Oki Samson
GODSPOWERPROJECT

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.


Stakeholders have identified femicides - the intentional killing of women and girls - as one of the most important gender-based violence in Lagos and across Nigeria. They also highlighted that the paucity of data is a major stumbling block to prosecution of cases and reduction of the crime rate, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.

This assertion was made yesterday at the presentation of Nigeria Police report focused on the study of femicides within Lagos State in the last 5 years. The book provided a brief five-year retrospective examination of femicides in Lagos, utilizing the United Nations' statistical framework to assess gender-related killings of women and girls between January 2020 and December 2024.

Titled “Measuring Femicide in Lagos State: Data, Advocacy and Action”, the report captured 1,666 unnatural deaths recorded in Lagos within Year 2020 - 2024. Of these, 1,316 (79%) were men while 350 (21%) were women. About 230 deaths (66%) were homicides. Among female homicides, 200 were classified as intentional, with 70 (35%) identified as femicides. Nearly half (47%) of the femicides were committed by intimate partners. Most victims were aged between 15 and 44, the most productive stage of life.

Speaking at the event, Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh called for stronger and more reliable data systems to combat the rising cases of femicide across Nigeria. He added that Nigeria’s fight against femicide was being undermined by poor record-keeping, weak forensic investigations, and low prosecution rates. “These gaps have hindered efforts to fully eradicate violence against women, despite Lagos recording comparatively lower femicide rates in this study,” Jimoh said.

According to the Commissioner, the Lagos Police Command has now established a specialised unit under its Gender Department to focus on femicide and domestic violence cases. Initially donor-funded, the unit is currently supported by the Lagos State Government.

He noted that officers in the unit had been trained to identify early warning signs of domestic violence and respond with empathy, confidentiality, and professionalism. “Gone are the days when victims were subjected to humiliating questions. Our officers have been trained to respond with empathy, confidentiality, and efficiency.”

CP Jimoh hailed Force Pathologist, Dr. Keshinro and his team who performed an exhaustive examination of available data, resulting in the findings presented which will undoubtedly bolster the capacity of the Nigeria Police Force. "We are delighted that the research emerged from within the force, under the leadership of Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, at a time when femicide cannot be disregarded. Our officers have received comprehensive training to identify and address potential threats, including domestic violence. We have implemented operational modalities to support our officers and take prompt action within the law to prevent femicide, both within and outside the context of domestic violence."

The Nigeria Police Force
Pathologist, ACP Samuel Keshinro who presented the report stressed that reliable data was vital to understanding the drivers of femicide and developing effective interventions. 'This publication aimed to measure femicide in Lagos State, examining its extent, since we recognize that reliable data is necessary for developing effective strategies. The project commenced a year ago, focusing on creating awareness and advocating against gender-related violence and Violence against women and girls (VAWG), prevention of Gender Based Violence (GBV), and including femicide."

The lead pathologist ACP Keshinro added: "The findings based on Police records from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Panti, revealed that out of 350 female deaths, 70 were categorized as femicide. Further analysis disaggregated variables showed the patterns of femicide, including intimate partner and family related femicide, with intimate partner femicide being the most prevalent."

Dr Keshinro pointed out that this illustrates the vulnerability of women, especially in situations where they should feel loved and secure. "The timing is appropriate, given that November 25 is the United Nations'-declared day for eliminating violence against women, starting the 16 days of activism. This concludes on December 10, coinciding with Human Rights Day. Today's event has attracted a diverse group of attendees, including high-ranking officials from the Nigeria Police Force, academics, and development partners like the UN.
The contributions, we hope, will not be limited to data collection but will effectively help prevent heinous crimes such as GBV, BWG, and femicide," he said.

ACP Keshinro discussed the research challenges, emphasizing that one of the most significant hurdles was the hard copy format of the data, which posed difficulties, particularly given the five-year scope of the data, dating back to 2020. The data's integrity was compromised due to faded ink, leading to the recommendation to create a data collection tool and implement a robust electronic homicide record to safeguard the data against deterioration and facilitate inter- agency collaboration.

Furthermore, the team leader, noted that the team drew inspiration from the electronic medical records that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has implemented in Lagos and across states in Nigeria, facilitating seamless operations, particularly in the medical services of the Nigeria Police Force. "We are endeavoring to replicate this model to ensure effortless access to information and data, ensuring us to prevent crimes and mitigate escalation."

The six-man team led by Dr Keshinro lauded the Lagos CP, specifically for sanctioning data escalation tools, which Lagos has identified as vital and approved for implementation, with the expectation that this success will expand nationally and aid in crime prevention by facilitating real time data collection.

In his address at the event, the Chief Judge of Lagos, Hon Justice Kazeem Alogba commended the Nigeria Police Force and observed that this initiative could lead to notable improvement in the quality of police services and improved court proceedings. He underscored the importance of this research project that it would provide valuable insights for the judicial system of Lagos State.

“Reliable data helps us understand the causes of femicide and ensures that judicial processes are both fair and firm,” Alogba said, pledging the judiciary’s partnership with researchers and civil society groups.

Additionally, the Lagos Chief Judge mentioned that he frequently advises his fellow judges and magistrates that matters before then affect real people's lives, beyond being legal transactions. He urged law enforcement officers, lawyers, and judges to adopt a human-centred approach in handling femicide cases and also stressed the importance of evidence-based data in shaping judicial responses and ensuring justice for victims.

"Honor thy father and mother" is a biblical commandment, appearing in the Ten Commandments from the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 20:12) and the New Testament (Ephesians 6:2-3), enjoining children to show respect and care for their parents. The commandment is often paired with the promise that doing so will lead to a long life and well-being. While it includes obedience, "honor" also implies taking parents seriously, valuing them, providing for them in their old age, and being a good, healthy child to them, even if that means setting boundaries with abusive or flawed parents.

Celebrities › MediServe Offers Free Eye Test, Medical Services To Elderly Citizens by Godspowerpro(op): 5:01pm On Aug 30, 2025
Soleeha Musa-Etiko, Joy Ogunsan Led MediServe Offers Free Eye Test, Glasses and Medical Services To Over 30 Elderly Citizens, Bus Drivers In Lagos

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD



A youth-led health initiative, MediServe, co-founded by Soleeha Musa-Etiko and Joy Ogunsan has impacted the healthcare needs of senior citizens in Nigeria with a free eye screening exercise and eye glasses. Apart from the elderly, the medical outreach, which was conducted within a bus park, also attracted many drivers who serve in the public transport sector. The outreach became an answer to the yearnings of the beneficiaries who have not only enjoyed the eye screening but are also assured of getting free eye glasses, if they are found to be in need of such after the screening exercise. The outreach led by high school students who aspire to be healthcare professionals was supported by Nigeria's leading private healthcare provider, MeCure.

Upon seeing the massive success of this inaugural outreach with over fifty (50) elderly citizens and Bus drivers participated in the free medical services, the bright, young minds, all-female who facilitated the idea reinforced their commitment to healthcare improvement, social impact, girl-child advocacy, and national development through the MediServe initiative. MediServe is co-founded by Soleeha Musa-Etiko, Joy Ogunsan, Tamilore Adeigbie and enjoys the proud membership of Precious Adiatu, Michelle Ossai, and Oluwaseun Ogunsan. The Health professionals from MeCure Eye Center who participated in making the health outreach a success include consultant ophthalmologist, Dr. Sunday Alabi; Trainer, Dr. Oscar Ovbiebo; and Nurse Manager, Gloria Odok.

Special Guests who were present at the MediServe Free Eye Test Medical Outreach include the CEO of Executive Trainer Ltd, Dr. Mrs. Ajoke Ogunsan; Mrs. Musa-Etiko; Mrs. Ossai; Mrs. Adeigbie; the Chairman of the Ewenla Bus Park, Oshodi; Treasurer of the Bus Park, Sowunmi Kolawole, among others.

Speaking on the outreach, the consultant ophthalmologist, Dr. Sunday Alabi noted: 'This outreach program is targeted at elderly people that have eye condition in the central park in Oshodi. We appreciate MediServe and the students for the idea to give back to society which is also part of their program and training as people who want to become healthcare practitioners. They are doing this for drivers whose one of their top assets is good eyesight.'

'The importance of the human eye cannot be overemphasized. It is our gift from God. It is the light of the body. It is what we use to see the beautiful world. We are preaching early detection.'

About the young girls leading the initiative, Dr. Alabi expressed excitement, 'Before now the students have been coming to learn how to do eye screening. Today, they are perfecting the practice and also see how they are impacting the society. The impact will not just be within the motor park alone, it will be across Nigeria.'

The founder of MediServe,
Soleeha Musa-Etiko shared: 'It was founded because I wanted to reach out to people in need and since I am passionate about medicine, I invited some of my friends to do this together. This eye screening will assist the drivers in seeing clearly while driving, reducing road accidents which will help the community to be safer.'

'This outreach is not limited to eye screening, in the future, we hope to do more and we encourage young people out there to do small initiatives like this in their various communities.'

In the same vein, the co-founder, Joy Ogunsan added: 'MediServe is a youth-led initiative that provides sustainable healthcare to people in the country and by God's Grace all over the world. We are here to do this because we have a lot of people in Lagos who are not able to afford healthcare and to also be a source of inspiration to other girls that may feel intimidated about impacting the world.'

'We got support from family and friends to do this and we also got the collaboration of MeCure that will give the eye glasses and they also helped us to get this venue,' the young Ogunsan stated.

The treasurer of the car park, Sowunmi Kolawole gave a brief appreciation remarks to MediServe and MeCure. 'This is a welcome development and we appreciate the group. Some people are dying in silence with cataract and so on. If they should go to the hospital, many will not be able to afford it.'

One of the beneficiaries of the outreach, Akerele Omowunmi shared: 'I did my eye checkup today, I have been having complaints about my eye but when I heard it's MediServe supported by MeCure that is organizing the program, I decided to come and participate in it.'

'They attended to us for free and they promised that they will give us free eye glasses. I want to thank the young ladies and I pray for them that they will grow higher in the profession', Omowunmi concluded.

SAFETY OF LIVES FIRST: FRSC, NANS WORK OUT UNITED FRONT TO END DEADLY TRUCK CRASHES

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reiterated her overwhelming commitment to the safety and wellbeing of Nigerian students and all road users, following a very strategic meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at the FRSC Headquarters on Wednesday, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.

The meeting, convened at the instance of the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni, came in response to recent concerns raised by NANS over the incessant crashes involving articulated vehicles which tragically claimed the lives of students in Edo State.

Speaking during the meeting, the Corps Marshal expressed heartfelt condolences to the families of the killed students, describing every life lost on Nigerian roads as “a wound to the conscience of the nation.” He commiserated with the student body and assured them that their voices have not only been heard, but are already shaping deliberate actions to end the menace of reckless driving by truck operators.

He stated among others that; “Our students are the future of this country. Losing them to avoidable crashes is not just painful, it is highly unacceptable. This meeting is not about shifting blames but about finding lasting solutions together. FRSC is prepared to work hand in hand with NANS to ensure that no family has to mourn a child because of a preventable crash"

In his remarks, Comrade Lucky Omonefe, the Immediate Past National President and serving Ex-Officio 1 of the Association, who represented the current President acknowledged the Corps Marshal’s invitation as a demonstration of sincerity and respect for the Nigerian student community. He emphasised that dialogue, not confrontation, remains the strongest path to progress.

“We came with anger, but we are leaving with hope. What we have seen today is leadership that listens. Dialogue is the tool we must all embrace to change drivers’ behaviours, stop recklessness, and reduce carnage on our roads,” he said.

The Corps Marshal used the opportunity to outline ongoing and intensified measures being deployed by FRSC to address the menace of truck crashes across the country. Some of which include; Partnership with major fleet operators, including Dangote Group as well as BUA Group revealing that FRSC has so far trained and certified thousands of heavy duty truck drivers across Ibese, Obajana, and other depots. More training is still ongoing in Okpella and Gboko, with focus on defensive driving, fatigue management, and adherence to traffic regulations.

He stated that over 2,700 trucks were recently subjected to rigorous checks in line with FRSC’s annual fleet operators’ certification, ensuring only roadworthy vehicles are on Nigerian highways.

In[b] addition, he said that the Corps is strengthening its patrol and surveillance systems with technology that tracks driver behaviour, while pushing for speed limiting devices and improved safety standards for heavy duty vehicles. Beyond enforcement, FRSC is engaging critical stakeholders, students, transport unions, fleet owners, and community leaders through town hall meetings across all formations, to collectively drive behavioural change and instill safety consciousness on Nigerian roads.
[/b]
This engagement with NANS, the Corps Marshal emphasised, is not a one-off meeting but the beginning of a sustained partnership with Nigerian students. He assured the public that FRSC will continue to prioritise safety through empathy, enforcement, and education.

Expectedly, he appealed to students and the general public to remain calm, assured that decisive steps are being taken to end the needless tragedies on Nigerian roads; stating that no protest is more powerful than a united commitment to save lives, while assuring Nigerians that the Corps' readiness to raise the bar of safety on Nigerian roads cannot be compromised.

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD



In an interview on NTA Kaduna in July 1987, the late Gen. Hassan Usman Katsina was asked by the interviewer how he can compare the Governors of those days and his time (1966).

This was his reply:

"I am going to give you an example and you can figure out the answer yourself.

When I was the Gov of Northern Nigeria, Dr. Abubakar imam was the General Manager of Kaduna Capital Territory. In that year, we decided to allocate plots for the present GRA in Kaduna. I applied. KAT conducted the exercise all the plots were allocated but I was not given. I did not care to find out why.

After the exercise, Dr. Abubakar Imam came to my office and he came with my application. He told me that they had finished the exercise.

He also said that he saw my application. However, he said they did not consider me qualified because I am the Governor. He said as the leader, I should be more interested in my subjects' interest than mine. How sure was I that all citizens who wanted the plots got allocations before I applied?

He said he came with my application to tear it before me so that it will not come to me as rumour and he tore the piece of paper."

That was the stuff our past leaders were made of.

What Stuff Are You Made Ofhuh

The leaders of today, you and I please answer this question.

August24news.com Publisher, Ajagbe, Set to Present Best Driver and Best Conductor of The Year Awards

Psalm 150:6 KJV
[6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD


As part of efforts to sanitize and project the image of the transportation system in Lagos State and ability to reward good deeds and eliminate the bad eggs among the drivers and conductors in the state, Lagos-based frontline journalist and publisher of Nigerian Online Newspaper, August24news.com, Mr. Ajagbe Adeyemi Teslim is set to present the best driver and best conductor awards to deserving professionals in the state.

The competition is expected to start in January 2026 and end by December 2026 and it has been designed to be a yearly competition after the maiden edition.

The parameters and measures put in place to pick the Best Driver and Best Conductor in the state is through commuters' commendations, score cards, online voting system by the general public, public opinions and other relevant methods.

Many drivers and conductors in Lagos State are known for their lackadastical attitudes, but there are still good ones among them, which is the reason we want to reward the good ones among them so that the wrong ones will emulate from the rewarded ones.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, the convener of the Award and Publisher of August24news.com, Mr. Ajagbe Adeyemi Teslim highlighted some of the marks expected in every drivers and conductors before winning the awards.

He said they must possess good characters, good dress sense, good driving skills, saying that drivers and conductors must charge their passengers reasonable transport fares, possess good communication skills and relate well with their passengers, they should avoid stoping at undesignated bus-stops, avoid handling our naira with care because the way they are mishandling our naira is one of the reason why our currency is fading and changing faces.

In addition, he said that they should avoid bribing officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and other road transport officials because they want to have their ways, they must receive and welcome their passengers with smiles and greetings, avoid pushing and roughhandly their passengers into and outside the bus, they must not smoke and drink before or while on duity.

He said they should be able to help passengers with free ride if the person pleads with them and they should not fight passengers whose fare is not completed, they must not make calls while driving, they should sit properly and avoid hanging on the bus, avoid picking passengers at unapproved bus stops and his or her bus must be in good condition before plying Lagos roads.

On what would be the benefits of the winner, Ajagbe stated that the winner will go home with over dozen gifts which include, a brand new bus, a brand new private car, a duplex, free 20 liters of fuel daily for a month, twenty four million naira cash, brand ambassador contract, driving contract, tour of 10 notable places in the state, courtesy visit to 10 dignitaries in Lagos State, automatic employment for two of his children in Lagos State, 24 different native and English attires from a popular designer, 24 new tyres, an award plaque, conductor and driver bet, a befitting gala night and Letter of commendation from the Lagos State Government, adding that the best conductor will also get whatever the driver gets.

When asked about what prompted the idea, the publisher said that he had witnessed many ugly incidents among Lagos drivers and conductors, which he said made him think of a way to change the narrative and to rebrand the profession.

According to him, "we want to put them on the watch, we want to set an agenda for them, we want to curb thier lakadastical act and non-challantant attitude such as drinking and smoking while on duty as well as reward the best among them, eradicate the bad ones and also encourage others so that they can be emulated.

He added that there is no agency that monitors thier activities in the state, claiming that what the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and local governments does is just to collect fees and levies from them.

Speaking further, he said; "I have witnessed a situation where drivers and conductors beat passengers because of a mere 10 naira change during argument.

"I have witnessed, where drivers and conductors abused and insulted passengers which led to trauma. I have seen where a passenger was stranded, trekked home and even begged for transport fares simply because a wicked conductors took his change away. I have seen where people where properly dressed, clean and neat, unfortunately a public bus tore and dirty thier cloth. These are people who are set for their daily jobs, going for job interviews and attending social gathering.

He said that on numerous occasions, he had seen situations where conductors and drivers returned lost phones, gadgets, loads and even bags of money to their passengers, saying that "we must not shy away from the truth or be economical with the truth, the good ones are still living and must also be recognized and rewarded."

"I have not seen when conductors give passengers free ride out of the 365 days in a year. Some of them are not friendly with their customers, they should be able to give back to the society or their passengers and they should be ready to partake in CSR. Anyone who does this will win the award of the year," he said

When asked what his organisation stands to benefit from the awards, Ajagbe told newsmen that his target are numerous because "we want the best for Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole. We want them to be responsible and accountable to their passengers and the general public. We want commuters to get value for their money, We want them to be good ambassadors because foreigners and the international communities see their practice.

"We want to set an agenda for them, we want to change the narrative, we want to change the public orientation that public bus drivers and conductors are respected people and not bad people as people see them.

"Some of them are always the cause of accidents on our roads due to their lakadastical attitude. We want the government to put them on a good pedestal. We want them to put a stop to their hooliganism and fighting during the cause of their business.

"The NURTW and the local governments are levies collectors. We want the state government to mandate drivers and conductors to start wearing uniforms and have numbers to identify the erring ones among them," he stated.

Speaking on the measure and yardstick to pick the best driver and best conductor among the thousands in the business, Ajagbe stated that members of the public will engage in voting after evaluating all the requirements.

The drivers and the conductors will also appeal to their passengers to vote for them via hard copy forms, sms text code and online voting.

Ajagbe said that all commercial buses drivers and conductors in Lagos State are eligible to participate in the competition because it is free, adding that no payment is required to participate in the competition once he or she is a registered member of the union in a specific garage attached to a route in Lagos State.

When asked if the project will fly and accepted by members of the public and even get sponsors, Ajagbe said that 90 percent of Lagosians ply public busses on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis to their various destination and they must have had one or two experiences with some of these drivers and conductors and they will be willing to share their positive or negative thoughts.

He stressed that the job is taking a new look and dimensions, particularly when it's coming with rewards and that sponsors are always keen to assist creative ideas and concepts like this.

"We would work in hand with the Lagos state government, the state Ministry of Transportation, Lagos State Branch of the NURTW State, local government branch and Unit Chairmen, drivers and conductors association and other relevant agencies attached to transport business in Lagos state". Ajagbe added.

Ajagbe revealed that the whooping sum of one billion naira (1.000,000,000) is proposed for the project and then called on the Lagos state government, the ministry of Transportation, corporate bodies, well meaning Nigerians to key into the idea and response promptly to the proposal sent to them as he can be contacted through; August24online.com@gmail.com for sponsorship and partnership to produce the best Driver and Best Conductor in Lagos State.

Commenting on the project, is former LAGOS State commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Dr. Muiz Banire (SAN) stated that it is a laudable project that will add honour to the work of the commercial bus drivers and conductors in Lagos State as he kindly appealed to sponsors to fully support the project.
