Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, attended the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday wearing a cap campaigning for President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election in 2019.

The meeting, which was chaired by the President, held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

Amid series of endorsements from leaders and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), President Buhari is yet to declare his intention of seeking re-election when his tenure ends next year.

Mr Shittu, however, was spotted at the Council meeting on a suit, with a blue shirt and a blue cap which has the APC logo and the inscription, “Continuity ’19: Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo” on it.

Four persons have been arrested and arraigned for allegedly attacking officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC).

A statement signed by LAGESC Corps Marshal, Mr Daniel Isiofia, on Wednesday said the officials were attacked while performing their lawful duties.

According to Isiofia, the hoodlums attacked the officials on Tuesday at Brown Street area of Oshodi while on their way to enforce the ban on the illegal dumping of refuse and street trading.

Two LAGESC officers – Olasilola John and Haastrup Ifealuwa – were seriously injured while a Black Maria used as an operational vehicle was badly damaged.

Meanwhile, a total of 24 persons including cart pushers, street traders, and some residents were arrested on Wednesday for dumping waste on road medians and canals, contrary to the Environmental Sanitation Laws of the state.

The suspects, who have been charged before the Special Offences Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, were arrested in an early morning operation carried out by LAGESC officials.

Giving details on the operation, Mr Isiofia who is a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, said the suspects were arrested after which revealed that cart pushers and some residents were indiscriminately dumping domestic refuse at sites not designated for waste disposal and canals.

“Recently, there has been clamour for cleaner Lagos and the governor has been very keen on making Lagos clean. To this end, he gave us the mandate to ensure that Lagos is kept clean by ensuring that acts that lead to the city to be dirty are curbed.

“We know that there have been massive efforts to clear the backlog of refuse on the road and our men went on surveillance and we eventually discovered where the cart pushers are operating at Ogunlana Street by Ogbomosho in Itire area. We raided the area and saw the cart pushers whose job is to collect refuse on payment from some residents who feel that they cannot dispose their refuse according to government directive and dump on road medians and canals.

“Often times, if you go to the canal at Itire-Ijesha area, you will see the cart pushers dumping refuse into the canal, thereby blocking the waterways which leads to flooding. So, with the determination to stop this menace, we raided them at about 4 am this morning (Wednesday) and we succeeded in impounding 150 waste carts used for this purpose and arrested 11 suspects while others fled,” he said.

Isiofia, however, advised residents to desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse in public places, as well as patronising cart pushers and vowed that ongoing efforts to stop the menace would be sustained.

“We are going to sustain this process. I like to advise the operators of the waste carts to know that Lagos is not a place for them. They should leave Lagos or look for another job and to those who patronise them, if we get them, we will charge them to court because they are running afoul of the law,” he warned.

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for his achievements in office within the past two years.

According to him, there was need to encourage Buhari to do more for the Nigerian people.

He said this on Thursday when he appeared on CNN’s global affairs interview programme hosted by Chief International Correspondent, Christiane Amanpour.

“President Buhari has not disappointed me. Yes, he is fighting corruption, he is fighting insurgency.

“We are not there yet and it is not a one night wonder. With what he has done, we should credit him and encourage him to do more,” Obasanjo told Amanpour when asked if the state of ‎Buhari’s health and Nigeria’s economy worries him.

On the challenges facing the African continent, he said there was need to change from the status quo.

He said: “There are many challenges. How do we feed our population that is supposed to double in about a generation from now? How do we provide jobs for them and employment?

“Now, these are the challenges. It cannot be business as usual. We cannot sit in the cool and comfort of our past and think that we will be able to bring about change. Change has to come.”

Everywhere in Lagos state now oozes putrid odour from the indiscriminate dumping of refuse and waste by cart pushers and residents in major roads and streets....Yet the state government under Ambode don't care...From Orile, FESTAC, Vi, Lekki To Mushin the stories are the same..

During Fashola's tenure the waste management worked 24 hours in keeping Lagos state clean....That was when, you can bring your trash bin to your gate and the PSP will take care of it, the street sweepers were efficient and thorough...and Lagos was cleaner.

Now to this orobo governor, everything has gone North. Nothing works again...Every infrastructure left by Fashola is now an eyesore...yet his propaganda machines are working in overdrive...

Apart from substandard streets roads, planting of few flowers here and there, building statues and buying ambulances, can anyone point out a major achievement of Ambode even though Lagos under him within 3 years has earned over 1Trillion Naira?

I regret voting for this man...

The Lagos State Government says it has sought the support of the Nigerian Police Force in its bid to ensure compliance with the new environmental laws in the state.

The Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare, said during a courtesy visit by the management of the ministry to the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgar, that the support had become necessary in order to keep the environment clean.

While taking Edgar through the activities of the ministry, Adejare said the synergy between the ministry and the Lagos State Police Command was important to guarantee the success of the new reforms in the environment sector.

He stated, “The successes recorded in years past in the environment sector could not have been achieved without the support and cooperation of the police. We, therefore, seek more consistent and harmonious relationship between the ministry and the Lagos Police Command.

“Through your support, we have achieved a lot over the years and we have come to solicit more to achieve a cleaner, healthier, safer and liveable Lagos.”

Edgar assured the ministry of his unalloyed support anytime it was required, and also commended the management for the efforts in ensuring a healthier and cleaner environment devoid of hoodlums through the parks and gardens initiative, stressing that it had assisted in the reduction of criminal activities in the state.

He also called for a collaboration between the environment ministry and other ministries to ensure that unapproved buildings and unauthorised markets would not deface the environment.

Key statistics

Real Madrid realistically need to end Barcelona’s 24-match unbeaten run to maintain hopes of retaining their La Liga title when Spanish football’s two behemoths meet in El Clasico on Saturday (1200GMT).

Barca lead fourth-placed Madrid by 11 points at the top of the table, albeit Real do have a game in hand.

However, it was at the Santiago Bernabeu that Barca last tasted defeat in August as Real cruised to a 5-1 aggregate win in the Spanish Super Cup.

Here, AFP Sports looks at five keys to deciding who will end the year victorious.

1. Messi-Alba connection
Barca have overcome Neymar’s departure with relative ease thanks to left-back Jordi Alba’s return to form, in large part caused by the Brazilian’s absence on the left side of Barca’s attack.

“I have a lot more room to go forward and in all honesty for me it is much better,” admitted the Spanish international.

Lionel Messi has also benefited with three of Alba’s six assists this season setting up the Argentine.

The Alba-Messi connection also gave Barca a famous 3-2 win as Messi scored with the last kick of the ball at the Bernabeu in April when Neymar was suspended.

Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal has played just five games since September due to a long-term virus and a lack of cover offered by Madrid’s narrow four-man midfield could give Alba plenty of space to exploit.

2. ‘BBC’ finally fit to return?
Madrid’s famed ‘BBC’ front three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale have yet to play a single minute of action together this season, largely due to Bale’s injury problems.

However, the Welshman scored on his return to action to help Real win the Club World Cup last week leaving Zinedine Zidane spoilt for choice with his starting line-up.

Zidane is expected to stay loyal to the side that started the Champions League final in May with Bale only featuring from the bench.

Yet, the pace offered by Bale and Marco Asensio, who has scored in his last three matches against Barca, could prove decisive in the second-half.

3.Ronaldo and Suarez back in form

Between them Ronaldo and Barca’s Luis Suarez had a pitiful return of a combined four goals in La Liga until mid-November as age appeared to be taking hold of both now in their 30s.

However, Ronaldo and Suarez now look like their old selves to add plenty more firepower to a fixture never short on goals.

Ronaldo has eight in his last seven games, including the winner in the Club World Cup final last weekend.

Suarez, meanwhile is now La Liga’s joint third highest scorer thanks to six in his last five league games.


4. Is Barca’s new defence for real?

Ernesto Valverde’s version of Barca may lack the same spark as those coached by Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique over the past decade, but the results are just as good thanks to an exceptionally mean defence backed up by the brilliance of Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal.

Valverde’s men have kept 17 clean sheets and conceded only eight goals in total on their 24-game unbeaten run.

The real test, though, comes at the Bernabeu, especially with Thomas Vermaelen expected to deputise for the injured Samuel Umtiti at centre-back.

Barca have kept just one clean sheet against Madrid in their last 24 meetings.

5.Brazilian brute force

Of all the stars on show, Brazilian international duo Casemiro and Paulinho may not be the most pleasing on the eye but both bring a physical edge to the midfield battle that make them vital components to their respective sides.

Casemiro is Madrid’s destroyer who creates the platform for Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Isco to create.

However, he will have to keep a close eye on his compatriot, whose ability to time his runs into the opposition area has seen him register six goals in 15 La Liga appearances and quickly quieten the critics who questioned his 40 million euro signing from Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande.
