 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London.

 Ogun to demolish, reconstruct legislative, commissioners’ quarters built in 1976 


The Ogun government has announced plans to demolish and rebuild the state’s legislative quarters and commissioners’ quarters, originally constructed in 1976.


Jamiu Omoniyi, commissioner for housing in Ogun, said the decision followed the ministry’s recent technical assessment that revealed the buildings have become unsafe and uneconomical to maintain despite numerous repairs over the decades.


Omoniyi said the decision aligns with the National Building Code of Nigeria (2006), which mandates public buildings to meet minimum safety standards.


He noted that the structures that have exceeded their useful life require either major rehabilitation or complete reconstruction, especially where repairs have become uneconomical.


“The existing legislative and commissioners’ quarters were constructed in 1976, nearly 50 years ago,” the commissioner said.


“Over the years, successive governments have spent enormous sums on repairs and maintenance, but these have yielded diminishing results.
