The President of the @NigBarAssoc under the leadership of @afamosigwe launched a Co- working space for young lawyers in fulfillment of his campaign manifesto.
The work space is named after Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN for his immense contribution to the legal profession.
The President in his remark note that young lawyers must and should be encouraged by all means. He also appealed to senior lawyers to reciprocate similar gestures in their branches across the federation.
Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital and one of Africa’s most influential cities. Yet, it does not currently have a fully functioning stadium. How can I explain this?
The National Stadium, once a symbol of national pride, has been left to deteriorate over decades. Facilities that once hosted continental and global events are now largely unusable. Teslim Balogun Stadium, though renovated in the past, suffers from inconsistent upkeep, limited access for athletes, and declining facility standards.
A city of over 20 million people should not rely on makeshift fields and private facilities to sustain its sporting ecosystem.
Sports are not just entertainment. They are tools for youth development, public health, job creation, tourism, and national identity. Neglecting sports infrastructure sends a message that these values are not a priority.
This is not about assigning blame, but about asking important questions:
1. Why can’t existing stadiums be sustainably maintained?
2. Who is responsible for their day-to-day management?
3. Why does a global city like Lagos lack a single fully functional, world-class public stadium?

@vdmempire Sorry, a court cannot review or revisit its own judgment except on certain conditions and such revisit does not come as of right, the convict must bring an application and state those conditions.
