 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made.

 Governor Okpebholo Hires 360 Cleaners into Edo Civil Service


Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has employed 360 cleaners from the state’s three senatorial districts into the civil service, according to Dr. Anthony Okungbowa, the State Head of Service.


During a briefing in Benin, Okungbowa highlighted the administration’s commitment to people-focused initiatives, noting that the new recruits have been deployed to various ministries and parastatals to strengthen the workforce.


He explained that the previous administration relied on contractors and consultants to hire cleaners, resulting in poor wages and job insecurity. Cleaners under that arrangement earned between N20,000 and N30,000, with no assurance of stable employment.


In contrast, Governor Okpebholo’s directive ensures direct employment for cleaners, guaranteeing them the state’s N70,000 minimum wage and improved job security.


“This initiative marks a departure from the contractor-led system, providing better pay and dignity for the workforce,” Okungbowa said, adding that appointment letters have been issued to the employees.


He also revealed plans for additional employment phases in the near future to further enhance the state’s workforce.l
