LAWMA employs 20 physically-challenged persons as sweepers of pedestrian bridges across the state
The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) says it has employed 20 physically-challenged persons as sweepers of pedestrian bridges across the state.



The Managing Director (MD) of LAWMA, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the Authority was desirous of empowering physically-challenged persons and integrating them into the vision of a cleaner and livable environment.



Gbadegesin said that LAWMA had stepped up its drive to rid the state of waste, and it became necessary to engage all stakeholders, including physically-challenged persons. He said that the cleanliness of Lagos State was a collective responsibility and all hands must be on deck to help realise the vision of building a cleaner city that all would be proud of.



”That is why we have decided to engage these special sweepers to play their own part in achieving this,” he said. LAWMA, according to the statement, engaged the services of the physically-challenged sweepers instead of leaving them to beg on the streets.

The Governor-elect of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha has accused the officials of the state government of attempts to blackmail him.



At a press conference on Saturday in Owerri, the chairman of the Governor-elect’s inauguration planning and handover committee, Chris Okewulonu said that the outgoing governor, Rochas Okorocha, had not assisted the committee towards ensuring a seamless inauguration ceremony.

Okewulonu said, “In the course of our work, we met thrice with the outgoing government’s team, believing that issues agreed upon will be strictly adhered to in their implementation. But unfortunately, the reverse proved to be the case.

“Rather, we have taken note of deliberate attempts by some hirelings of the state government to blackmail the incoming governor with baseless and spurious assertions. In the last couple of weeks, the mass media have been awash that N150m was

He even refused to do a white wedding either because my church
requested for a court certificate, so we ended up doing only traditional marriage.

_
I later got tired and gave up on the matter. I was hurt and broken
but I resolved to marry him like that just to save myself and my
family the shame of having a baby outside wedlock.

_
My dad was angry and disappointed in him but he didn’t care and
because of that my dad vowed to see me a successful and
independent woman with or without him.
_
After I gave birth to my baby, my dad helped me secure a job with a
multinational company and things started to turn around for me.
I could now take care of myself and secure a future.
_
Though I married my husband, but I never forgave him from my
heart and it made me not to do anything in my husband’s name.
_
We currently have three kids together but all my properties are in
the name of my children. I never used him as my next of kin either.
_

“I got pregnant nine years ago while dating my current husband and

I wasn’t working then. He told my family and I that he doesn’t want
a court marriage for no reason.

My parents tried talking to him, I cried and begged him severally to
legalize his marriage with me but he stood his grounds not to wed me

Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has declared that kidnapping, banditry and cattle rustling are now to attract the death penalty in a move to check the rising wave of crimes in the state.



Masari signed into law yesterday the state’s revised penal codes on crime and criminality. The signing preceded the valedictory session of the State Executive Council (SEC).



The new law also prescribes life jail and fine for rapists. The governor declared that the law was necessitated by the spate of killings and other banditry attacks in the state.

In his words: “we are all aware that Katsina State is currently faced with security challenges hence the need to revisit our penal and procedural laws to deal with any suspect that may be found wanting.
