 FG to ban wooden boats on inland waterways The Federal Government through the National Inland Waterways Authority has said that it is moving towards phasing out wooden boats on inland waterways. The Managing Director of NIWA, Bola Oyebamiji, made this known to editors during an interaction in Lagos. Speaking during the interaction, which focused largely on the safety of the waterways and the expansion of water travel, Oyebamiji explained that wooden boats constituted over 90 per cent of boats on the waterways. Oyebamiji said they accounted for the majority of accidents on the waterways nationwide. He said this was large because they had no regard for operational rules, “which included not traveling at night, overloading and failure to use life jackets by both operators and passengers.” According to him, traveling at night is a criminal offence. “Most of them have no light at all. Overloading is also an issue. And the boats are piloted by people of the lowest education in Nigeria,” he

  Erik ten Hag has been Sacked by Manchester United with immediate effect! Ruud van Nistelrooy will replace him As interim manager, the decision has been made. Ten Hag’s two-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford ended on Monday after a poor start to the campaign. The development comes after a series of poor results, with United sitting 14th in the Premier League table. Ten Hag was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. The 54-year-old former Ajax boss was backed by new co-owners INEOS in the summer with a contract extension until June 2026. However, Man Utd’s underwhelming start to the new campaign has now seen the manager pay the price for their patchy form. More updates later.
