The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated Mr. Adewale Akodu on his emergence as the Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), describing his election as a recognition of his experience, professional competence and longstanding commitment to journalism and public service.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his congratulatory message, described Akodu’s emergence as well-deserved, noting that his wealth of experience in public information management, strategic communication, media relations and union administration places him in a strong position to provide purposeful leadership for the Lagos NUJ.
The Governor noted that Akodu’s distinguished career spanning over two decades in the Lagos State Public Service, particularly his contributions to the Ministry of Information and Strategy, as well as his previous leadership of the Lagos State Information Chapel of the NUJ, demonstrate his capacity to lead, build consensus and advance the interests of the journalism profession.
He expressed confidence that the new NUJ Chairman would bring his wealth of experience and understanding of the media landscape to bear in strengthening the relationship between government and the media, promoting responsible journalism and fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect, constructive engagement and accountability.
Governor Sanwo-Olu particularly commended Akodu’s commitment to professionalism, journalists’ welfare and capacity development, as outlined in his ten-point agenda, expressing optimism that his administration would prioritise the dignity, security and professional advancement of journalists while strengthening the institutional relevance of the union.
He also urged the new Chairman to embrace inclusive leadership, transparency and unity by carrying all members along, irrespective of their affiliations during the election, while building on the achievements of the outgoing administration.
The Governor further encouraged Akodu to leverage the NUJ’s strategic position as a critical stakeholder in governance and democratic development to promote credible information, combat misinformation and strengthen public understanding of government policies, programmes and initiatives.
He assured the Lagos NUJ of his administration’s continued recognition of the media as an indispensable partner in the delivery of good governance, transparency and sustainable development, emphasising the importance of a vibrant, independent and responsible press in building a Greater Lagos.
Governor Sanwo-Olu wished Akodu and members of the newly inaugurated executive council a successful tenure, urging them to make the welfare of members, professional excellence and the collective advancement of journalism the defining hallmarks of their administration.

A couple of days ago, we rolled out 11 new electric buses across Lagos, the first batch of 50 from our partnership with Oando Clean Energy Limited.
After a successful test run with two buses, we are now scaling up. Working with the private sector allows us to cut down on emissions, clean up our air and make daily commuting better without waiting decades to get it done.
These 11 buses are on the road now and the rest are on the way. We are building a transport system that actually works for Lagosians today and holds up for the future.

DSS Intercept Weapons Shipment from Niger Republic, Recover 21 AK-47 Rifles, Four PKT Machine Guns in Sokoto
By: Zagazola Makama
The Department Of State Security Service (DSS) have intercepted a large consignment of weapons and ammunition allegedly being smuggled from the Niger Republic to armed bandits operating in north-western Nigeria.
The interception, which took place on Tuesday, November 10, at Dawakawa in Goronyo Local Government Area of Sokoto State, followed a security operation targeting suspected weapons trafficking networks across the Nigeria-Niger border.
Security sources said the suspected smugglers were allegedly attempting to transport the weapons into Nigeria using camels, apparently exploiting remote routes and difficult terrain to evade security surveillance.
The operation led to the recovery of 21 AK-47 rifles, four PKT machine guns and 825 magazines.
The interception represents a significant disruption of an alleged cross-border weapons supply network suspected of facilitating the operations of armed bandit groups in the North-West.
The use of camels to transport the weapons highlights the increasingly unconventional methods employed by criminal networks to move arms and ammunition across porous border corridors.
The development also underscores the importance of sustained intelligence surveillance coordinated border security operations in preventing the movement of illicit weapons from neighbouring countries into Nigeria.
The recovered weapons are expected to provide security agencies with valuable leads towards identifying the suppliers, transporters and intended recipients of the consignment.
Zagazola report that several border communities along the Nigeria–Niger Republic frontier have emerged as vulnerable corridors for cross-border arms trafficking, bandit movements and other criminal activities, raising concerns over the security of Nigeria's North-West.
The affected areas include Illela, Sabon Birni, Isa, Gudu and Tangaza in Sokoto State; Jibia, Kaita, Mai'Adua and Kongolam in Katsina; Zurmi and Shinkafi in Zamfara; as well as Kamba and Arewa Dandi in Kebbi State.
Security concerns around these border regions are linked to porous boundaries, informal trading networks and difficult-to-monitor rural terrain, which criminal networks like Bandits, Lakurawa and Boko Haram exploit for illicit activities.
The development reinforces the need for enhanced border surveillance, intelligence-sharing and coordinated operations to dismantle cross-border weapons supply networks.
Security agencies must also target the financiers and suppliers behind the trafficking networks rather than focusing solely on couriers.

Nigerian women are not even beating this allegation.
One of my guys relocated to the UK some years ago, 2019 specifically. But before leaving Nigeria, he was in a relationship with a lady. Although their relationship was only a few months old when he travelled, things became serious between them over time, and they remained committed to each other despite the distance.
Two years after relocating, he returned to Nigeria and officially married her. After the wedding, he made all the necessary arrangements for her relocation, and they both returned to the UK to begin their life together as husband and wife.
He genuinely believed he had found a woman who loved him and was ready to build a future with him, but unknown to him, his wife had a completely different agenda.
For the first two years after joining him in the UK, she appeared to be settling into their marriage. During this period, she enrolled in professional courses to improve her qualifications and secure a good job all fully sponsored by my guy……..
They are putting burden on your husband and you can't help him fight
