Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinated black looks for New York stroll Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare joint appearance in New York City, stepping out together for a relaxed afternoon in matching, understated fashion. The 39-year-old twins were seen walking through Midtown Manhattan on April 30, dressed in coordinated black trench coats paired with wide-leg denim. They completed the look with sunglasses, scarves, and structured alligator handbags from their luxury label, The Row, before stopping for lunch during their outing. Long before becoming fashion insiders, the sisters built global recognition as child actors through projects like Full House, It Takes Two, and New York Minute. Over time, they stepped away from Hollywood and fully transitioned into fashion, officially launching The Row in 2005. Mary-Kate now serves as creative director of the brand, while Ashley oversees it as CEO. In earlier interviews, Ashley has described the label’s beginnings as a small ex...

 Sani unveils N30bn Kaduna BRT project to ‘cut emissions, create 14,000 jobs’


Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has unveiled a N30 billion counterpart funding commitment for the Kaduna bus rapid transit (KBRT) system.


The project is a collaboration with the Agence Française de Dévelopement (AFD), the French development agency.


Speaking at the national transport conference, Sani said the KBRT will run along a dedicated 24km corridor from Rigachikun to Sabon Tasha, deploying 120 articulated buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).


The governor said the transport project is the “first of its kind in northern Nigeria” and the “second nationwide after Lagos”.


He said the initiative is expected to cut carbondioxide emissions by 38 percent and save commuters N1.8 billion annually in fuel costs.


The governor said the initiative will generate about 3,200 direct jobs for drivers, station agents, and maintenance engineers.


“We are creating 3,200 direct jobs (drivers, station agents, maintenance engineers) and 11,000 indirect jobs (ICT, security, cleaning, small-scale trade), and many more,” he said.


The governor said development at the Kaduna light rail project is at an advanced stage, adding that phase 1 will restore the old rail gauge between Rigachikun and Sabon Tasha.


He said phase 2 will connect Millennium City to the existing Abuja-Kaduna rail line, covering approximately 50km.


“Phase 1 will reinstate the Old rail gauge Rigachikun to Sabon Tasha corridor; Phase 2 will link Millennium City to Rigasa existing Abuja – Kaduna rail, tying seamlessly into 50km approximately,” he added.


Sani said to cushion the impact of fuel subsidy removal, the state has launched the Kaduna subsidized transport scheme, with President Bola Tinubu commissioning 100 new CNG/hybrid buses in June.
