ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE GOV. OF OGUN STATE TODAY AT THE 2020 WORKERS DAY COMMEMORATION.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

     ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE GOVERNOR OF OGUN STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, PRINCE DAPO ABIODUN, MFR AT THE 2020 WORKERS’ DAY COMMEMORATION, HELD ON FRIDAY, 1ST MAY, 2020 Distinguished people of our dear Ogun State. Greatest Nigerian Workers. Greatest workers of Ogun State. Today marks the global Workers Day. As is the tradition, we are all supposed to gather today in honour of our great workers, who are undoubtedly a group of major stakeholders in the Ogun State project. But, for obvious reasons, this year Workers’ Day becomes peculiar and different from many in the past because we are unable to have the grand commemoration in honour of our great workers. This is because of the measures in place, including physical distancing as necessitated by the prevailing situation across the globe, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which is commonly called COVID-19. 2. Let me say that the unfortunate inability to celebrate our great Workers in grand style comes with an unavoid...

ENEMY OF THE STATE-FEMI ADESINA.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

    You have possibly watched the 1998 action-thriller film with the above title, starring Will Smith. It was the box office hit story about a group of people plotting to kill an American Congressman, and the tape of the plot was discovered. Well, an Enemy of the State struck in Nigeria on Monday, but this time, it was no fiction. It was real life act of sabotage from somebody who does not wish his own country well at all, and who derived a sinister kind of pleasure from undermining the system. President Muhammadu Buhari was to broadcast to the country by 8 p.m, to give an update on the battle against COVID-19, and what becomes of the lockdown that had lasted four weeks, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and Ogun States. Kano was also a point of heavy interest, with the strange deaths ravaging the state. Was it COVID-19 or not? As the country waited for the President with great expectations, a purported copy of the broadcast began to circulate on social ...
