Cristiano Ronaldo Closes In On 1,000-Goal Milestone After Scoring Hattrick In Al-Nassr's Victory Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on a historic 1,000th career goal after scoring a hat-trick in Al Nassr's 5-3 win over Al Kholood, taking his total goal-scoring count to 985. The 41-year-old Portugal star scored all three within 15 second-half minutes, finding the back of the net in the 66th, 72nd and 81st minutes to seal all three points at Alawwal Park on Thursday night, October 19.

Addressing the target with his former teammate Rio Ferdinand in 2024, Ronaldo said: 'I want to reach 1,000 goals. If I don't have any injuries, this for me is the most important (thing), I want that. 'For me, the best mark that I can have in football is to reach, first, 900 goals. After, my challenge is to be at 1,000 goals.'

 PHYSICAL PLANNING COMMISSIONER RAISES CONCERNS OVER FALSE ATTRIBUTION OF STATEMENT ON SECOND REFINERY FOR LAGOS


The Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, has raised concerns over a report by a section of the media in which he was wrongly credited with statements suggesting that Lagos State was set for a second private refinery following confirmed talks with new investors.


The Commissioner clarified that he did not make such comments and did not at any time grant an interview or issue a statement relating to refinery development, petroleum investments, or investor negotiations.


Dr. Olumide explained that the statutory mandate of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, especially in relation to infrastructure development, was unambiguous as it involved land-use planning and control, including zoning regulations, layout approvals, and the processing of physical planning and development permits for projects, in line with approved master plans and extant planning laws.


He stressed that while any major infrastructure project, including a refinery, was subject to planning approval and zoning compliance, decisions on investment promotion, project initiation, or sector-specific policy pronouncements fell outside the Ministry’s scope of responsibility.


The Commissioner described the attribution of statements on refinery investment discussions to him as inaccurate, misleading, and unprofessional, and called on media organisations to uphold accuracy and proper verification when reporting on government activities.


He urged members of the public to disregard the report, noting that all official communications from the Ministry would continue to be issued through recognised and authorised channels.
