Lol

Ibadan that is dirty and backward
Akure that is looking like 19th century dwellings


Butterflies think of themselves as birds

Abeg how many flights land at Akure and Ib

pazienza:
In life people play the ostrich game and others hide their real selves.
What you see in social media is the real unfiltered reality.
Don't be stupid. Ndiigbo and Awon Yoruba are not one people and can never be.

Inner Galaxy Steel Company Limited, a Chinese firm, plans to invest $300 million in establishing a new steel plant in Ogun State to produce specialized steel products.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Audu, in a statement released by Salamatu Jibaniya, the ministry’s Head of Information and Public Relations Unit, on Thursday in Abuja.

Audu noted that the investment aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic diversification policy under the Renewed Hope Agenda, reflecting the company’s confidence in Tinubu’s leadership to drive industrialization and boost the nation’s prospects through the steel sector.

The minister assured the company of the Federal Government’s commitment to providing an enabling environment and fiscal incentives to support sustainable operations.

He added that the ministry would review the company’s proposal and engage relevant authorities to explore concessionary benefits within the existing operational framework, emphasizing that this initiative aims to attract and facilitate foreign direct investment.

Mr. Li Shuang, President of Inner Galaxy Steel Company Limited, had earlier met with the Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Audu, to seek the ministry’s support for a $300 million investment to establish a new steel plant in Nigeria.

Shuang explained that the plant would focus on producing specialized steel products, including plates, angles, beams, and stainless steel, among others. He highlighted that the investment would boost Nigeria’s steel production capacity, reduce dependence on imported specialized steel, conserve foreign exchange, and generate employment opportunities.

According to Shuang, the project is expected to create 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, alongside other economic multiplier effects. He also noted that the company has been operating in Nigeria for over 20 years, with its existing investments in steel production surpassing $1 billion.

Today marks the launch of commercial operations of the LMRT Red Line, kicking off passenger services from Agbado to Oyingbo.

We’re on a mission to keep Lagos moving, and the Red Line is a key part of our vision to create a seamlessly connected city. It is also our second rail system to become operational in less than two years.

Spanning 27 kilometers, the Red Line has eight stations at Oyingbo, Yaba, Mushin, Oshodi, Ikeja, Agege, Iju, and Agbado. The train service is projected to move about 500,000 Lagosians daily as we ramp up the schedule and provide a viable means of commuting.

Daily passenger services will depart from Agbado at 6:00 AM, with the second train leaving Iju Station at 7:30 AM. Make sure you have your Cowry Card ready to board.

Just as with the Blue Line and any other public infrastructure, remember that this project belongs to all of us. Let’s treat it with the respect it deserves. Vandalism or disruptions will not be tolerated—together, we can ensure that our trains remain a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Together, let’s keep Lagos moving forward.
