 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

     The Lagos State Government has sealed a Total Filling Station in the Akoka area of Lagos State due to alleged pollution of water sources.
The State Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Babatunde Durosinmi –Etti, who disclosed this at a Press Conference in Alausa on Friday, said that the attention of government was drawn to the issue when the filling station reported the leakage of its underground tank thereby causing concerns of water pollution in the community.
He noted that the government immediately intervened by directing the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) to carry out an Environmental Forensic Audit in order to determine the exact source and extent of the pollution. This is in addition to imploring the owners to effect necessary repairs to stop the leakage and resultant pollution of the Environment.
Durosinmi – Etti also called for the decommissioning of boreholes installed by the Station, while urging the management of Total to liaise with the Lagos Water Corporation for the supply of pipe-borne water pending further findings on the incident.While maintaining that the present administration would not hesitate to take any meaningful measure to protect the health and well being of the citizenry, the Commissioner informed that LASEPA had been mandated to monitor and ensure the implementation of the directives given to the owners of the fuel station.
