The senator also visited the joint police divisional office and area command headquarters assuring that perpetrators are terrorists that will soon all be identified and punished.

I am happy to note that some of them have been apprehended and will be brought to book together with their sponsors. “I am happy to note that we have a government that is committed to the security of lives and property under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello. As I am coming I meditated about the security situation in Nigeria; I do not know of any government in the past in Kogi State that has committed a lot of resources towards security and safety of lives and property like the present government has done. “Kogi State is strategically located, bordered by nine states and that makes it a challenge but within limited resources, I think this government has tried. “What happened in Isanlu is unfortunate and is under investigation. The government is working with security agencies that the terrorists are apprehended and punished in accordance with the law. They shall know no peace for the rest of their lives. I commiserate with your royal highness, and families of the victims with the assurance that the government is working hard to ensure this does not happen again.

In 2013 I got it awarded and construction commenced but due to one mistake or the other, today, we are back where we were before. Last week, Governor Yahaya Bello was in touch with the federal ministry of works on this very road. I can tell you that this road will soon receive federal attention. “By the Grace of God, with the support from the state government and the pushing by those of us in the national assembly, in the next two months we will start talking about next year’s budget, I will make sure that this road will be back in the national budget for construction”. The monarch, Oba Moses Etombi thanked the Senator and his entourage for the show of solidarity, expressed joy over the news of the apprehension of members of the criminal gang that attacked his domain adding that he would be happier when the perpetrators are brought to justice. The police area commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Okoye lamented to senator Adeyemi and his entourage, that the armed gangs operated for close to two hours unchallenged inspite of several distress calls.

New Deal for our creative industry ON JULY 16,

New Deal for our creative industry ON JULY 16,  20201:34 AMIN EDITORIAL Kindly Share This Story:FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppPinterestShare THE good times may just be ahead for our long-suffering creative industry, as President Muhammadu Buhari has formally handed over the National Theatre Complex, Iganmu Lagos, to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Bankers Committee for restoration and redevelopment. According to the Governor of CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the scope of the intended project, which will be completed within 18 months, is capable of generating over $20 billion (about N8trn) annually.
