 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm. In a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, particularly Jonglei, where escalating violence and inflammatory rhetoric have put civilians—including women and children—at heightened risk.

 •As Toyin Anjous-Ademuyiwa.took oath of office as Permanent Secretary


 


 

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has sworn in Hon. Abdul-Ganiyu Obasa, the son of the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Mudasiru Obasa, as the Chairman of Agege Local Government.


 


Obasa, who had been acting in the role for some time due to the resignation of the former Chairman, Tunde Azeez, on health grounds, was sworn in on Monday, officially taking over the mantle of leadership and the responsibility to steer the affairs of Agege Local Government.


 


Governor Sanwo-Olu also swore in Mrs Toyin Anjous-Ademuyiwa as Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Office of Transformation, Creativity and Innovation (OTCI).


 


Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony at the Lagos House, Ikeja, Governor Sanwo-Olu said governance in Lagos is anchored on appointing capable and trustworthy individuals who approach public office as a call to service rather than a platform for privilege.


 


The Governor stressed that leadership in Lagos State—whether political or technocratic—will continue to be guided by the will of the people and the imperative of results-driven governance.


 


He said: "To both of you being sworn in today, let me emphasise this: leadership in Lagos State is defined by service, discipline, and results. The offices you now occupy are not rewards; they are responsibilities. The people of Lagos expect diligence, integrity, and impact—and they deserve nothing less.


 


"To members of the public service and political class present here, let today serve as a reminder that excellence is recognised, merit is rewarded, and dedication to duty still matters in Lagos State."


 


Speaking earlier, Obasa assured Agege residents of an inclusive and united administration, disclosing that reconciliation efforts within the All Progressives Congress and across the local government have been ongoing since the party’s primary election.


 


Also speaking, Anjous-Ademuyiwa appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu for her appointment as Permanent Secretary and promised to contribute her quota to the growth and development of Lagos State.
