 Nicole Kidman recalls the heartbreaking moment she found out her mom died Nicole Kidman has opened up about the heartbreaking moment she learned of her mother Janelle’s death just as she was about to accept a best actress award at the Venice International Film Festival.  The Babygirl star recalled being backstage when she received the news, saying she returned to her room “completely devastated” and unsure how she would move forward without her mother, who had been such a central part of her life. She described the “harrowing” attempt to leave Venice in the middle of the night to return to Australia, only to turn back, overwhelmed and alone.  Director Halina Reijn later read a statement on Kidman’s behalf, dedicating the award to Janelle and acknowledging the collision of art and life in that painful moment.

LASTMA OFFICER WINS 'DIAMOND SERVICE AWARD' FOR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE TO MOTORING PUBLIC


Mr. Babatunde Tonode, a traffic officer with the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) was over the weekend presented a Diamond Service Award with a cheque of N75.000 for exceptional service to the motoring public in Lagos.

The award ceremony, put together by Unifeed Project Initiative (UPI) in conjunction with Access Bank Plc, was to appreciate workers, particularly uniformed personnel.

The Lead Sponsor of Unifeed Project Initiative, Mojibade Sosanya said the vision for the initiative was born out of the passion of Lastma Officers and other uniformed personnel she saw in April 2021, on a very sunny day managing and controlling traffic across Lagos despite the scorching sun.

She stated further that Lastma officials had also rescued her when her vehicle broke down at night in a place where she could have easily been robbed.

According to her, "Lastma Officers were like angels sent to help me when I could have got robbed when my car broke down at night. They assisted me to push my car to a distant place beyond the danger zone. This led to the thought of appreciating uniformed men for their dedication and commitments".

She confirmed that among other uniformed personnel picked for public consideration, Lastma Babatunde Tonode emerged first with the highest number of votes to win the award.

The General Manager of LASTMA, who was represented at the event by Mr Adebayo Taofiq, Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment and Mr. Mabifa Oluwatosin, (Lastma Zonal Head), disclosed that despite the risk associated with controlling/managing traffic, this will be the second time in a space of few weeks that Officers of the Agency would be recognised, appreciated and rewarded for their dedication to duty.

While acknowledging the award as a well-deserved one, the General Manager disclosed that traffic management across the State is becoming technology driven with the distribution of new 500 Traffic Management Solution (TMS) handheld devices to Lastma personnel by the Lagos State Government.

He disclosed further that physical contact with traffic violators would be drastically reduced during traffic enforcement as these newly deployed 'TMS' hand-held cameras would ensure transparency by capturing real-time video/photograph of violations as evidence to be presented before the court.

Also speaking at the event, the Unit Head, Strategic Communication, Events and Sponsorship of Access Bank Plc, Oge Kasie-Nwachukwu said that it wasn't difficult latching on to the initiative as part of Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) that would encourage other uniformed personnel to do more in serving the public.
