Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, announced an increment in scholarships and bursaries for students of Lagos State origin in tertiary institutions.

He said his administration would pay N225,000 and N60,000 as scholarships and bursaries to indigene students, as against the existing N200,000 and N50,000 respectively.

The governor also announced scholarships for the less privileged and physically challenged students in public tertiary institutions, noting that the scholarship will not be limited to Lagos indigene alone.

He also announced the appointment of four former Students Union leaders as his Senior Special Assistants.

The appointed SSAs were Eniola Opeyemi, Kayode Samuel, Giwa Moore and Adeola Adewunmi.

The Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Housing, Barakat Odunuga-Bakare, has disclosed that the state’s monthly rental scheme will be enforced before the end of 2024 or early next year.

She stated it during a recent press briefing of the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority in Ikeja, Lagos.

She said, “We all see what is being done in other climes, rents are collected monthly. Hence, we are looking and hoping that before the end of the year, or by early next year, we will be able to implement the policy of monthly rental. Also, the rental would be charged according to tenants’ earnings.

“The good part about it is that we would be test-running it first within the public sector since we can ascertain how much everybody is earning, and once we see that it works in the public sector, we can now push it out to the private sector.”

Odunuga-Bakare reiterated that the N5bn allocated for the monthly rental scheme was still set aside and untouched.

She added that the fact that the scheme was slow to take off showed that the Lagos State Government was still trying to perfect one thing or the other.

The Nigeria Police Force, on Wednesday, declared that most kidnapped cases in the country were fake or stage-managed.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, made this declaration during the presentation of the gold medal to the winner of Ache and kickboxing of the 14th edition of Biennial Police Games, tagged “Oluyole 2024” held at Ilaji Resorts Hotel in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.

He explained that security challenges in Nigeria are not as bad as most Nigerians believe, adding that most Nigerians believe what they see on social media, which is being regenerated and recycled as current issues.

Adejobi said, “Most kidnapping incidents are fake or stage-managed. When people shout that they are being kidnapped, it is not all these incidents are real. Many people fake kidnapping to get money from their people, while some do that to collect ransom from their families."

Now that he has come out of hiding, it will be easy for the DSS to pick him up to face trial for the bombing of the Rivers state house of assembly. Note that he doesn't have immunity.

Please don't buy Redmi, it's probably a phone with semblance of quality but whack.

Currently use Note 11s and after 16months I will say it is not worth it. Different issues at different time.

First it starts to turn off by itself and never comes on, recently the battery hours has dropped by almost ½.

I must also say the first full year, the phone was superb with no issue, but overall I think infinix and Tecno make better devices
