 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities.

 PICTURES: GOVERNOR SANWO-OLU MEETS WORLD BANK MANAGING DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, ANNA BJERDE AT LAGOS HOUSE, MARINA, ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2026

We are actively seeking partnerships and investments that raise living standards, and we are prepared to take the necessary steps to earn greater support, especially for infrastructure that directly affects daily life across the state.


I also shared a brief reflection on our journey over the past six years under the THEMES+ agenda. The focus has always been on delivering results that people can feel. Millions of Lagosians have seen real improvements, and while there is still a lot to do, the progress is measurable.


One example is the Ease of Doing Business ranking. Four years ago, Lagos was ranked 29th nationally. Last year, we moved to first place. That did not happen by chance. It came from being more deliberate, more consistent, and more accountable in how government works".- Gov. Sanwo-Olu.
