 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. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 We 're embarking on silent economic revolution in Ogun says Abiodun


Ogun State Governor,  Prince Dapo Abiodun,  has declared that his administration in the past over five years has carried out unprecedented turn-around in all the critical sectors of the state economy,  describing it as 'silent economic revolution'.


He added that despite the humongous infrastructural deficit his government inherited upon assumption of office in 2019, especially in the area of roads at the boarder communities and Federal highways, he has been able to drastically ameliorate the situation in the best interests of the people in the State. 


Prince Abiodun made this known on Friday during the 14th Annual Lecture/Award ceremony of the Nigerian News Direct Newspaper with the theme,'' Achieving Economic Prosperity: The Role of Human Capacity Development, Fiscal Prudence and Revenue Generation", held at Grand Ballroom, Oriental Hotel, Lagos.


The Governor, who was conferred with the 'Man of the Year Award' and represented by his Special Adviser on Media &Communications,  Hon. Kayode Akinmade,  reiterated his avowed commitment to all round development in Ogun State and the irreversible resolution to leave  behind an enduring legacies of growth and prosperity in the Gateway State. 


He highlighted some of his enviable success in the State within a shot period of time to include construction of over 600km of roads across the three Senatorial Districts, construction of world class Agro-cargo Airport as well as raising the Internally Generated Revenue base of the state to become the most viable state in Nigeria in the area of IGR generation among other achievements. 


Governor Abiodun further explained that Ogun State since he took the mantle of leadership has totally changed the business environment to make it more friendly and favourable to investors, therefore making the state the best in terms of Ease of Doing Business and the investor destination of choice in Nigeria.


According to him, the State presently accommodates over six thousands manufacturing firms in different industrial clusters across the state and contributing immensely to the micro economy of the state as well as the Nigerian macro economic growth. 


He, however, commended the management of the Nigerian News Direct Newspaper for the honour bestowed on him, promised never to deviate from the path of purposeful and responsible leadership with patriotic inclination.


"I most sincerely thank the Nigerian News Direct Newspaper for the honour, obviously, the recognition would serve as impetus for our government to do more for our people in Ogun State and Nigeria in general. 


"We are happy that a media organisation like News Direct is painstakingly monitoring our activities and progress in the state, which is no doubt a silent economic revolution of sorts in every critical sector of the state economy. 


"I, therefore, urge them to continue to be vanguard of ethical journalism and strong illumination to the Nigeria's public space for the ultimate good of the generality of the Nigerian citizenry", Governor Abiodun said.

  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.
