Following Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard leaves the democratic party

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority[b] (NCAA) says it will offer professional guidance on the proposed Lekki airport in Lagos, in line with its regulations and in the interest of safety.
[/b]
Mr Sam Adurogboye, the General Manager, Public Affairs of NCAA, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Monday.

Recall that the Special Adviser Lagos State Governor on Public Private Partnerships (PPP), Mr Ope George, on Thursday expressed the state’s readiness to construct a new airport on the Lekki axis.

George revealed that the Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led government had sought and obtained approval from the Federal Government for the construction of the new airport in Lagos.

He said thst the project, expected to take off in 2023, would be constructed on 3,500 hectares of land.

Reacting to the development, Adurigboye assured that the aviation regulatory body would monitor the project from beginning to end when the time comes.

“NCAA is not opposed to developmental strides, and the initial approval comes from the Federal Ministry of Aviation, while NCAA also gives its approval.

“We will also supervise it from beginning to the end and certify it okay before the usage of the airport” he said.

Adurogboye said building an airport around the axis meant infrastructure development, which was good for the economy, the community and the state where it is situated.


Meanwhile, an aviation expert, retired Group Capt. John Ojikutu, commenting on the state government’s plan, said Lagos deserved a second airport.

He, however, said that the plan had been on for a long time and wondered why it was taking so long to begin it.

Ojikutu, who is the Secretary of Aviation Round Table (ART), said that the state’s plan came to light during the tenure of former Lagos governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

The ART is a non-governmental organisation established to advocate air safety and security in all areas of the aviation sector.

Ope George, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), has revealed that the state government is expecting about $2.5 to $3 billion of private sector funding investment for the fourth (4th) Mainland Bridge.

George made the disclosure during a recent press briefing on the activities of his agency, maintaining that at the centre of each of the PPP projects is the need for residents to get value for money. He equally disclosed that the preferred bidder for the 4th Mainland Bridge project will be announced before year-end.

George stated that the state government would keep improving on its PPP projects to ensure that the state and its residents continue to get value for money invested by the state for such projects and the residents for money paid for such service.

African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the Federal Government have signed the Host Country Agreement for the first African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) currently under construction in Abuja.

Professor Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Afreximbank and Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Foreign Affairs signed the agreement in presence of the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Alhaji Lai Mohammed; Hon Joseph Nkama, Minister of State for Health; Dr George Elombi, Afreximbank Executive Vice President, Corporate Governance and Legal Services, and Mrs Kanayo Awani, Afreximbank Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade Bank, as well as other members of the management team of the Bank and the AMCE.

Afreximbank said the signing of the Host Country Agreement builds up on the recent ground-breaking for the AMCE project, in December 2021, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Prof Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the Board of Afreximbank, said: “The AMCE Abuja is a first of its kind quaternary level medical facility in the West Africa region and one amongst the very few, if any, on the African continent.

“The AMCE will promote Intra African Trade medical tourism by offering a full spectrum of services in oncology, haematology, cardiology, and general healthcare across the continent, in addition to training, research and development capabilities. The AMCE Abuja will serve as the headquarters for other AMCEs to be launched across Africa.

“The initial capital outlay for the first phase of the AMCE Abuja is projected at US$300 million. The investment is expected to rise to about US$750 million, upon full development, making the facility by a significant distance the single largest private healthcare investment in Nigeria and Africa in general.

“The success of the AMCE Abuja will pave the way for attracting future investments and partnership arrangements within the health sector on the continent. It will also raise the local standards of healthcare delivery as well as provide a blueprint for quality of services required to address Nigeria and Africa’s healthcare and related challenges.”

Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Foreign Affairs said: “I know how difficult it is for a country to get host status for a project or institution that everyone is looking for. Today, with all the health challenges facing the world, every country is looking to host an international health institution. I thank Afreximbank for bringing this institution to Nigeria as a host.

“The research and development aspect of the project is very important. It is not just a turnkey hospital that is being set up in Nigeria, the African Medical Centre of Excellence will be a research institution, which is vitally important because that is the only way to have sustainable and comprehensive medical facilities and treatment.

“The AMCE really ticks all the boxes, because when we do not invest in research and development, we end up with situations where neglected tropical diseases we have on the continent do not have proper treatments because industrialized countries that invest in research and development prioritize the diseases that affect their citizens the most, as do pharmaceutical companies.”

The management of Nigeria Air Limited says it has received more than 20,000 applications so far for jobs in the new national carrier.

The airline, which is billed to begin operations this year, commenced the recruitment of qualified crew members and other workers on September 23.

The airline said it was seeking B737 captains, first officers, senior cabin crew and cabin crew, and engineers. The positions are based in Abuja or Lagos.

It said on Tuesday that more than 20,000 applications have already been received.

“Management appreciates the unprecedented level of interest shown by Nigerians in the airline which has resulted in the receipt of over 20,000 applications for positions in the organisation so far, and wish to state that the recruitment process for other positions will begin in due course,” it said in a statement.

The airline warned Nigerians against fake recruitment websites making job offers on behalf of the airline.

“All those concerned are therefore advised to ignore such announcements or invitations, as responding to, or dealing with them in any way, will be at their own risk,” it said in the statement by James Odaudu, special assistant to the aviation minister.

“We wish to inform the general public, especially those who have applied for the earlier officially advertised positions that no recruitment interviews or tests have been scheduled.

“All such announcements or invitations for such should be disregarded as they are the handiwork of fraudsters and scammers,” the statement said.
