 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 Anambra's New Local Government Laws: Soludo Clarifies Alignment with Supreme Court Ruling


By Ifeyinwa Ogwo


Anambra State Governor, Prof Charles Soludo, has stated that the new laws enacted by the Anambra House of Assembly on local government matters are in line with the Supreme Court judgement which did not nullify section 7 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that empowers each state through its House of Assembly to make laws for the establishment, structure, composition, finance, and functions of the local government.


The laws are the Anambra State Economic Planning and Development Law, 2024 and the Anambra State Local Government Administration Law, 2024.


The governor said this in his speech on "Nigeria's Evolving Federalism and Search for Sustainable Local Government Administration."


He mentioned that the two legislations passed by the progressive Anambra House of Assembly seek to achieve three objectives: consistency with the constitution and judgement of the Supreme Court; enhanced transparency and productive collaboration and promotion of sustainable finance, democracy and development at the local government.


"I see the recent Supreme Court judgement regarding the direct transfer of funds belonging to local governments as an important contribution to our search for effective and transparent administration of resources at the local level.


"The judgement is an opportunity for public good and greater transparency and predictability regarding the sources and uses of funds, as well as a greater coordination and collaboration between the state and local government.


"There is more work to be done and we all need to think through how funds transferred to the local governments should be appropriated, spent or accounted for. 


"The National Assembly and State Assemblies make appropriate laws on how and by whom the monies should be spent and they also carry out oversight functions. What happens to the monies directly sent to the local governments? Who spends the monies, on what? and how will they be accounted for,"? he queried.


Governor Soludo further explained that the laws ensure that the state can function in a cohesively planned, transparent and sustainable manner to maximize the security and welfare of the citizens, stressing that they constitute a very smart solution to a possible systemic threat.
