Ever since the Ebola virus disease (or EVD) bumped into public consciousness worldwide in March this year, a lot has been said and written on the subject both by experts in the relevant fields and those who know very little about the disease.

Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has dissolved the caretaker committees put in place by the immediate past administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi in the 16 local government areas and the 19 newly established Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) of the state.

Power infrastructure has been a major challenge facing Nigeria’s economy, even as privatisation of the power sector is yet to yield the desired result to resolve perennial electricity shortage in the country. Currently, the power generation capacity stands at between 4,000 and 5,000mega watts, which is quite insufficient for a population of over 160million. To further improve power supply and sustainability, the Federal Government has approved N3.9billion for power transmission infrastructure.

The leadership of the Edo State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Uyi Igbe, has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to intimidate the opposition, asserting that any attempt to use federal might against the APC in the state will be resisted.

A senatorial aspirant in Edo State, Mr. Egheomhanre Eyieyien in a letter addressed to the flamboyant General Overseer of Household of God Church, Rev. Chris Okotie, who had called for the resignation of the CAN president over the botched cash-for-arms deal, expressed disappointment about the uninformed comments credited to the respected man of God.
