Umahi Flags Off Demolition Of Landmark Beach For Coastal Highway Project – Lifestyle Nigeria

The Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, on Saturday in Lagos, flagged off the demolition of a section of the Landmark Beach, the Mami Chula Beach Lifestyle, to give way to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway

Umahi began the demolition after he inspected kilometres 13, 16 and 20 to ensure the most economical and viable way to access the coastal roads without much damage.

He noted that the demolition was necessary since the landmark centre was located on Federal Government’s Right-of-way.

He stressed that a number of structures would be affected by the demolition, adding that compensation would be provided.

Umahi said, “So with the utmost fear of God, gratitude to God Almighty and the commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in our infrastructural development agenda in particular, I wish to flag off this demolition.

”It’s in a right-of-way within the coastal corridor which is legitimate right of way of the Federal Government.

“Before the flag off of the demolition of landmark, I graciously increased the grace period by another seven days and yet another four days and here we are because the project stopped because of lack of demolition.

“And I want to commend the likes of Bolaji, incidentally from kilometre zero to four from what I’m seeing, he is the only one that is majorly affected. That’s the only infrastructure I can see that is affected.”

Japa: Harrowing Story From Saudi Arabia (Update) – Lifestyle Nigeria

Faith Wambui, a Kenyan woman who worked as a maid in Saudi Arabia, has bravely shared her harrowing story of exploitation and abuse at the hands of her employer.

In an exclusive interview with Tuko, Wambui recounted the agonizing challenges she faced, including food and sleep deprivation, manipulation, and ultimately, an unwanted pregnancy.

Wambui’s journey to Saudi Arabia began with hopes of a better future, but upon arrival, she was met with hostility and mistreatment from her employer. She was denied adequate food and rest, trapped between her dire situation and the needs of her family back home.

Her employer’s brother exploited her vulnerabilities, offering food and money in exchange for silence and compliance.

Tragically, Wambui was coerced into an affair with her employer’s brother, resulting in an unwanted pregnancy. Her story exposes the exploitation faced by many migrant workers in foreign countries, highlighting the urgent need for better protection of their rights and well-being.

Olukoyede Begins Restructuring Of EFCC – Makes New Appointments

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ola Olukoyede, has commenced the restructuring of the anti-graft agency.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that as part of this restructuring, Michael Nzekwe has been appointed as the Chief of Staff, while zonal directors have also been appointed for each of the 14 zonal commands of the commission.

According to a statement released on the EFCC’s website, Nzekwe is a highly experienced investigator and lawyer who has previously served as the commander of the Ilorin Zonal Command. He is also a course-one officer of the commission.

The statement reads: “He has served in various departments in the Commission, including Legal and Prosecution Department, Department of Operations (now Department of Investigations), Department of Internal Affairs (now Department of Ethics and Integrity), Servicom, and Asset Forfeiture Department.

“A seasoned administrator, he has attended several trainings and courses home and abroad, including the Advance Defence Intelligence Officers Course organised by the Defence Intelligence Agency, DIA. The appointment takes immediate effect and he has assumed duties.

“Olukoyede, in his restructuring and repositioning of the EFCC, equally upgraded all the Zonal Commands of the Commission to the status of Departments, with each of them headed by a Director. To this effect, 14 new directors have been appointed to head each of the Zonal Commands. Additionally, to bolster and fortify the security architecture of the Commission, the Security Unit of the EFCC has been upgraded to a department with a seasoned officer appointed as Director, Security and Chief Security Officer.

“A new department has also been created in the Executive Chairman’s office and it is headed by former Makurdi Zonal Commander of the EFCC, Mr. Friday Ebelo, who also doubles as Director and Coordinator, Special Duties, at the corporate headquarters of the Commission. The former Department of Internal Affairs has been renamed Department of Ethics and Integrity and minor reshuffling effected in some departments at the headquarters.

“An important component of the restructuring is the creation of a new department to drive the preventive mandate of the EFCC. Olukoyede, in an unprecedented move, created the Fraud Risk Assessment and Control Department to handle this all-important work of the Commission. The department has commenced operations and its impact will be felt more across the country in a short while.
