 Trump administration halts border wall well drilling in New Mexico after ranchers raise water concerns  The Trump administration has ordered contractors building a border wall in New Mexico to stop drilling new wells after ranchers raised concerns that groundwater pumping for construction could worsen drought conditions and threaten their livestock. The move comes as crews work to expand border barriers across four states as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. The project has received billions in federal funding and has faced criticism from residents, environmental groups and local officials over various impacts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees construction, has said water is needed for concrete production, road construction and controlling dust. However, ranchers in southern New Mexico say water supplies are already under strain due to ongoing drought, forcing some to reduce their cattle herds.

LAGOS TRANSPORT MINISTRY INSPECTS GARAGES TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNOR’S FARE REDUCTION DIRECTIVE



Following series of complaints received by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation that some Public Transport Operators did not totally comply with the pronouncement of the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu which mandates all state-owned buses as well as the commercial buses (yellow buses) to reduce fares by 50% and 25% respectively, to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal on commuters, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation, Engr. Abdulhafiz Toriola, and his team conducted inspections at selected parks and garages on Thursday to assess level of compliance.

Briefing the Transport Unions at Agege, Iyana Ipaja and Ikeja parks and garages, the Permanent Secretary noted between 60 and 80 percent compliance already achieved. He assured that the Ministry would continue its sensitization efforts to ensure complete adherence to the directive.

Engr. Olasunkanmi Ojowuro who represented the Permanent Secretary with some Directors of the Ministry of Transportation reiterated the need for yellow buses to comply in line with the Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages announcement of a reduction in the union park tickets for drivers from N800 to N600 urging them to reflect the reduction on their fare charges.

He further emphasized the need for Transport unions to monitor drivers under their units and branches to ensure they fully adhere to the directive. He also urged them to monitor commuter buses within their zones, not to disrupt traffic flow.

Responding on behalf of the Unions present at the parks, Akeem Agberoungbe who is the organising Secretary of the transport unions at Ikeja park confirmed that their union members have complied with the directive of the reduction to ease the effect of the petrol subsidy removal.

Similarly, Musiliu disu, a transport union leader at Iyana Ipaja also explained that the level of compliance at their park is impressive. The unions expressed their commitment to continue monitoring their members for improved compliance.

Passengers interviewed while confirming the reduction in the public transport fares expressed their appreciation to the Governor for the palliative on transportation.
