With flood threats and resurgence of heaps of refuse across Lagos metropolis which has created an eyesore to passers-by and posing health hazard to residents, the state government weekend announced measures to tackle the menace.

I DEDICATE this week’s headline to one of those who taught me “what they were not paid to teach ” in my days at Ife,Prof. G.G Darah .

As students leaders in Ife in the late 80s we came up with the idea to honour legal icon,Chief Gani Fawehinmi with a life membership of our union. He was also to be accorded our creation of Senior Advocate of the Masses,SAM, in derision of the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee that would not confer the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, on him largely on account of his anti-establishment credentials. I recall meeting Gani at his Anthony Lagos Chambers to present our offer letter to him. He was in a black suit,white shirt and a blue tie.Smiles spread across his lips as he said: “I gladly accept this and will treasure it more than any other award.”

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Calvary Parish, Province 27, Lagos, has offered free healthcare services and donated relief materials to residents of Mafoluku, Oshodi, and its environs.

GOVERNOR Willie Obiano of Anambra State has renewed his resolve to intervene in any form of disaster that may threaten the lives of indigenes of the state.

DELTA State chapter of Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners, NARTO, has warned against parking of trucks along the Ugbuwangue axis of NPA Expressway, Warri, stressing that it will not take responsibility for any incident that occurs as a result of unsafe parking.
