 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years.

 EPE CHAIRMAN CONFIDENT OF ELECTRICITY RESTORATION FOR FESTIVE SEASON


The Chairman of Epe Local Government Council, Princess Surah Animashaun, has assured residents of the council that her administration is committed to restoring electricity to Epe and its environs ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations.


She stated that necessary measures have been taken, and relevant authorities have assured a stable electricity supply during the festive season.


Speaking to journalists about the recent prolonged blackout in the Epe division, Princess Animashaun said, “We are fully committed to ensuring Epe enjoys a reliable and steady power supply once again. To achieve this, my administration, alongside other relevant stakeholders, is working diligently to enhance power infrastructure and resolve the challenges causing the outages”.

“Our leaders and community members have demonstrated incredible dedication, resourcefulness, and commitment to ensuring power is restored in Epe. Their actions inspire us all and underscore the importance of collaboration for the betterment of our community”, she added.


Princess Animashaun stressed the critical role of community involvement in safeguarding energy infrastructure. She called for a united approach to prevent vandalism and foster development, prioritising the well-being of residents.


“Efforts are underway to ensure Epe enjoys uninterrupted power during the festive season and beyond. Reliable electricity is essential for daily life and celebrations, and we are working tirelessly to provide a stable supply”, she reassured.


The Chairman expressed her gratitude to key individuals and organisations for their contributions toward addressing Epe’s electricity challenges including Hon. Wale Raji, Hon. Abiodun Tobun, the paramount ruler of Epe, Oba Kamorudeen Ishola Animashaun (the Arolugbade Elepe of Epe Land), the National Youth Council of Nigeria (Epe Chapter) led by Comrade Moibi Ibrahim and Alhaji Akanni Sakiru Seriki-Bamu.


Princess Animashaun commended their unwavering commitment, stating that their dedication exemplifies genuine concern for the community’s welfare. “Our collective goal is to ensure comfort and joy for all during this festive season and beyond.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members.
