 Mirra Andreeva wins French Open at 19, becomes youngest women’s champion since Monica Seles   Russian tennis star Mirra Andreeva completed a breakout run at the French Open on Saturday, defeating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 to capture her first Grand Slam title at age 19. Andreeva, who was already regarded as a prodigy after emerging on the WTA Tour as a teenager, became the youngest women’s singles champion since Monica Seles, who was 18 when she won her third straight French Open in 1992.

 Anambra Commences New Minimum Wage Payment in October - Mefor 


By Uzo Ugwunze 


Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor has described Governor Chukwuma Soludo as labour friendly for being among the first set of governors to implement payment of the New Minimum wage since October 2024.


According to a press release made available to newsmen Wednesday by the State Spokesperson, "the attention of the Anambra State Government has been drawn to some media reports that have excluded Anambra State from the states in Nigeria that have paid the new minimum wage of N70,000. Some media outlets merely managed to capture Anambra State only among the states whose governors have indicated interest in paying the new minimum wage.


"To put the record straight, the promise by the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to pay the new minimum wage was made good since the month of October, when the new minimum wage payment commenced in Anambra State with the payment of October salaries.


"To add to it, the state has also adjusted pensions upward to give pensioners in Anambra State higher take-home. Professor Chukwuma Soludo remains a labour-friendly governor as the workers in Anambra State have not only received the new minimum wage but also continue to receive salary alerts on or before the 25th of every month."
