CHIEF OKEDUSI A. BEN EMERGES CHAIRMAN OF PARLIAMENT ESTATE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Akure — Parliament Estate recorded another major milestone today as Chief Okedusi A. Ben was elected the new Chairman of the Parliament Estate Residents Association (PERA) in what stakeholders described as a free, fair, and well-conducted election.

I do not take this trust lightly,” he said. The new Chairman commended the immediate past Executive Committee for their selfless service, not...

Let me join others in congratulating Bornu State for the giant strides recorded in the construction of schools with modern facilities. This achievement is commendable and worthy of recognition. However, the call on Governor Ayedatiwa to “see and emulate” Bornu State should be viewed with caution, as it may sound derogatory or historically inaccurate. Ondo State has long been a pacesetter in this regard. Ondo State pioneered the construction of Mega Schools, a model that many states—including Bornu —are now emulating. These Mega Schools were well structured and equipped with modern facilities. Notably, even my hometown benefitted from this initiative with the establishment of a Type B Mega School. That said, experience has revealed several challenges militating against the sustainability of this model, and these issues must be addressed honestly and factually. First, the lack of maintenance culture. The construction of Mega Schools requires a dedicated and sustainable maintenance framew...

Welcome to a Year of Overwhelming Success to everyone connected to me. My thoughts go especially to our youths who roam the streets in search of white-collar jobs after completing their education. There is absolutely no crime in seeking a means of livelihood. However, I strongly encourage us all—especially our youths—to continually improve ourselves while searching for opportunities. The use of ICT to acquire and upgrade skills will go a long way in making us more relevant, employable, and productive in today’s world. Indeed, virtually every human endeavour now requires ICT for efficiency and improved performance in our daily routines. I have also taken it upon myself, as a matter of urgency, to continue improving my own skills so as to remain relevant wherever I find myself. Learning, they say, never ends. I wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year filled with growth, relevance, and overwhelming success. Chief Okedusi A. Ben Alábòjútó, Church of Ascension Anglican Communion, Supa...
