Kindly share this story:


The Lagos State Government has announced the postponement of the planned rehabilitative works on the failed sections of the Third Mainland Bridge.


The repairs were scheduled to go on for two consecutive Sundays, September 17 and 24, between 7 am to 7 pm on both days.


According to a release signed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi on Saturday, the postponement is “due to the heavy downpour experienced in all parts of the metropolis today.”


He explained that the rain has affected the preliminaries of the planned palliative works on the asphalt pavement of the bridge by the Lagos State Public Works Corporation.


The PUNCH reports that the state government on Friday, announced repair works to be carried out by its Public Works Corporation and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing on failed sections of the ever-busy Third Mainland Bridge.


But Osiyemi  has assured that a later date which will be subject to weather conditions will be duly communicated for the palliative works, urging motorists to continue to access the bridge with observance of safety measures.

Dear Students, Today’s unfortunate disruption of the SUG election stands as yet another reflection of the deeper issues facing not just our campus, but our nation at large. This is the real reason why the system of government in Nigeria keeps failing  because we continue to rely on an outdated system that cannot take us to the promised land. Sadly, this same flawed struture is still being practiced by the so-called Jagaban and his government, and now, the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are facing the consequences. No long talk. 🧢 Here is the Circular Letter and you need to know 👇 We must renew our mindset. We must rise above the broken foundation of the past if we truly want a better future. Believe me when I say: this is the very root of what it means to "govern" — and if we, the youth, do not fix it now, who will? If you’re demanding change as a student, then let us unite — as future Presidents, Governors, Generals, Kings 👑, and Queens 👑 of this great country 🇳🇬. United ...

  A Message of Gratitude and Clarification from Usman Okai Austin I sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support. Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience. For those who couldn’t visit in person, your messages and protests spoke volumes. Your voices sent a strong message, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.

I remain committed to the values of justice, accountability, and good governance. My experience has only strengthened my resolve to stand with the people and fight for what is right. No intimidation, no pressure, and no offer will make me turn my back on the truth. We are in this together, and I will continue to stand firm for the people. Thank you all! The struggle...
