 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese. It was no surprise that his people, whom he had long served faithfully in the vineyard o...

 LAGOS TASKFORCE RAIDS SHANTIES IN EPE, CONFISCATES CONTAMINATED CONTRABAND TURKEY



…oloja of Epe hails the swift response of the Agency


 


Lagos State Taskforce has forestalled an outbreak of epidemic in Epe area of the State where dozens of cartons filled with contaminated turkey seized by the Nigerian Customs Service and set ablaze at a dumpsite somehow found its way into the hands of unscrupulous elements trying to sell it to members of the public.


Following tip offs from a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Rasheed Shabi and the Oloja of Epe, Oba Kamorudeen Animashaun, the officials of the Lagos State Taskforce swung into action and raided the shanties close the dumpsite and apprehended 8 suspects with some of the contaminated turkeys and some harmful weapons.


Speaking on the incident, Oba Kamorudeen commended the Lagos State Taskforce on its swift response to the incident which if left unchecked could result in nationwide epidemic.


“I am glad this menace has been nipped in the bud before it blows out of proportion. The State is currently battling to contain the cholera outbreak in some parts of the metropolis so we need not compound the issues rather its our responsibility to the citizenry to ensure sinister forces do not plunge the State into crisis for their own selfish gains.”


The Oloja further admonished the Nigerian Custom Service to seek the support of sister Agencies like the Police,  Military, DSS and LAWMA when carrying out exhibit burning exercise to avoid official compromise and ensure the confiscated goods are thoroughly burnt beyonf recovery by miscreants in the community.


The Chairman of the Agency, CSP Adetayo Akerele who led the operation said that goods confiscated by the Nigeria Customs Service must have failed at some point to meet the required health and safety standards before being deemed unfit for human consumption which led to it being set ablaze at a dedicated dumpsite.


“We cannot allow some ignorant individuals reintroduce products which have been condemned by a federal agency to find its way back into the market. Contaminated foods like this could cause cancer, lungs or liver disease and so on. Consumption is highly dangerous and we are here to ensure that Lagosians are protected at all cost.”


Akerele disclosed that all contaminated goods recovered and brought to the Headquarters of the Agency while the arrested suspects will be charged to court accordingly.


He commended Honourable Shabi and Oba Kamourudeen for the useful tipoff which helped avert a disaster and appealed to the general public to continually make use of our feedback channels communicated through the “see something, say something” campaign. “Collectively, we will keep lagos safe, serene and habitable for all.”  Akerele concluded.
