THE Federal Government’s dream of making Nigeria world’s hub for leather processing is being realised as a wholly indigenous start-up company, Berekotry Detergent Ltd. based in Iseyin, Oyo State, has discovered, through its cellulose fusion technology, a dual active antifungal and biocide extract with fast efficiency in leather dehairing, allegedly the fastest in the world now.

IT is certainly not a place for the squeamish and the faint-hearted. The reason being that the gory sights there are not only indescribable but more than enough to give anyone serious nightmares. It is a place where you are immediately confronted with an overpowering aura of fear and death.

THOUGH repairs on Dopemu and Iyana-Ipaja bridges were completed at least three days ahead of schedule, residents of the areas are not impressed. According to them what the bridges need is expansion rather than the purported repairs.
