       The Lagos State Government, through the Agency for Mass Education, will commence shutdown of all unregistered Tutorial and Continuing Education Centres (CECs) in Lagos State effective from Monday, 11th September 2017.

The piece dwelt extensively on two heads of strategic agencies in the Muhammadu Buhari administration- the chief of army staff, General Tukur Buratai and the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu. The author as usual, wrote with poetic candour but missed the point on the score of the chairman of the EFCC by imputing to him statements that he never made. “The way we are going we have already failed… I am telling you we have almost failed. It is almost lost,” Olumhense quoted Magu as having said, when he met with journalists in Abuja on August 30. At no time did Magu make such statement during the meeting with senior journalists. Olumhense could be pardoned for the wrong attribution as he probably relied on information by a
