PRESIDENT BUHARI TO SECURITY AGENCIES, ALL CITIZENS: BE ALERT, DON’T PANIC President Muhammadu advises the nation’s security establishment and entire citizens to continue being vigilant and careful with security, saying it is important to avoid panic. He urges citizens to remain calm. The recent changes in travel advice from the US and UK governments should not be a cause for panic. Nigeria is no exception in having terror threats listed in foreign government’s travel advice to their citizens. UK and US travel advisories also state there is a high likelihood of terror attacks in many Western European nations. Indeed, the UK and US advice to their respective citizens for travel to one another’s countries contain the same warning. Unfortunately, terror is a reality the world over. However, it does not mean an attack in Abuja is imminent. Since the July prison raid, security measures have been reinforced in and around the FCT.

SAFER ROADS: LAGOS DRIVERS’ INSTITUTE CAUTIONS UNSKILLED DRIVERS The General Manager, Lagos State Drivers’ Institute, (LASDRI) Mrs. Afusat Tiamiyu has said that first-line drivers who did not acquire required driving skills from accredited driving schools in Lagos State constitute a serious risk to themselves, their passengers and the society at large.

In her words: “It has become a normal practice that husbands who have been driving for some time will teach their wives. Likewise, commercial bus drivers will teach their conductors how to drive without recourse to any accredited driving school. This has to stop if we want safer roads for the motoring public”. ...
