 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

Subsidy: Oil Marketers To Donate 100 Buses

Major oil marketers are to donate about 100 50-seater buses, worth N10 billion, to support the government’s subsidy removal intervention.

The marketers made this known in Abuja after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

At a news briefing, Chairperson of the delegation, Dame Winifred Akpani, expressed the unflinching support of the marketers to fuel subsidy removal, arguing that it was long-over-due.

She observed that the move, although painful and stressful, would unleash the potential of Nigeria, engender free-market economy, entice foreign investors, ensure security as well as create jobs and wealth.

She also voiced the hope that other organisations would emulate their gesture to urgently cushion the effect of the subsidy withdrawal on the masses.

Dame Akpani urged Nigerians to be patient and understand the essence of the subsidy removal, as the government had geared up efforts to ameliorate the situation created by the policy.

In the alternative, she explained that the policy of reversion of petrol vehicles to consume Natural Compressed Gas (CNG) would be implemented to reduce the cost of living.

The delegation was led to the President by Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.
