 LAI MOHAMMED: SUSPENDING TWITTER WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST DECISIONS I MADE AS A MINISTER Lai Mohammed, former minister of information and culture, says the suspension of microblogging and social networking platform Twitter, now known as X, was one of the toughest decisions he took while in office. In June 2021, the federal government announced the “indefinite” suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria, citing the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”. However, in his new book “Headlines & Soundbites: Media Moments That Defined An Administration”, launched in Abuja on Wednesday, the former minister offered insights into how the decision to suspend the platform was taken. In chapter 14 of the 601-page book, Mohammed cited two reasons why shutting down Twitter at the time was a tough decision for him.

 Fubara Vows to Redesign Port Harcourt Township and Rebuild Creek Road Market


Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has pledged to rebuild the Creek Road Market in the old Port Harcourt Township into a modern facility, providing traders with a better working environment and giving the city a fresh appearance. 


The governor explained that this initiative is part of his administration’s commitment to fully implement the Urban Renewal Policy, prioritizing the needs of the people. Fubara made the announcement during a visit to the market on Tuesday, where he observed the ongoing trading activities along Creek Road and surrounding streets. 


He emphasized that revitalizing Port Harcourt as a "Garden City" will require transforming it into a livable urban space that ensures sustainable development. However, this goal, he noted, cannot be achieved without properly designating areas for trade. 


Fubara also reflected on the previous administration's decision to relocate traders to No 3 Field during the Creek Road reconstruction, explaining that there was no concrete plan to return them to their original trading site or rebuild the market afterward.


The governor, who was accompanied by key officials including the Commissioners for Housing and Urban Development, as well as the Chairman of the Port Harcourt Township Re-urbanization Committee, stated that the first priority is to provide the traders with a suitable market. This, he said, would allow for the relocation of trading activities from residential areas, thus clearing the way for the town’s beautification.


He expressed regret over the current challenges faced by residents in the process of development but reassured that his administration would take all necessary steps to ensure that the Creek Road traders are relocated to a fitting and proper market.
