 NIWA Pledges Zero Tolerance for Waterway Accidents The Chairman of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Alhaji Muktar Shagari, has vowed stricter enforcement of safety regulations and improved monitoring to curb accidents on Nigeria’s inland waterways. Shagari made the pledge on Thursday in Lokoja while resuming office, saying safety would be non-negotiable under his leadership and aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. He said the Board would prioritise tougher safety enforcement, enhanced monitoring systems and professionalism to prevent avoidable loss of lives on the waterways.

CAN Chairman leads protest march against Plateau killings

8th Jan 2024 

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Plateau State, on Monday, organised a rally to express displeasure against the continuous killings in the state and other parts of the country.

The rally tagged, ‘Plateau Peace Walk’, was led by the CAN chairman in the state, Rev Polycarp Lubo, in the company of the President of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Rev Dr Stephen Panya.

Other Christian leaders at the rally include the President of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Rev Dr Amos Mohzo; Bishop of Methodist Church, Jos, Rev Nkechi Nwosu; Rev. Gideon ParaMallam among other prominent Christian leaders in the state.

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang received the crowd at the Government House, Rayfield, Jos.

Plateau State has been badly hit by blood-thirsty marauders of late with over 200 killed during a Christmas Eve attack in the Bokkos and the Barkin Ladi local government areas. Many houses and farmlands were also burnt in the overnight attacks and scores were injured.

The coordinated killings in communities in the two local governments attracted local and international outrage with the governor lashing on the military for tardy response and describing the killings as a carnage.

Vice President Kashim Shettima paid a visit to the people of the state following the attacks and the Federal Government had promised to end the menacing trend of blood-spilling marauders but the people want more than promises but decisive actions and protection against their aggressors by the government.
