 Titanic life jacket sells for nearly $1 million at auction as rare artifacts draw record interest    A life jacket worn by a Titanic passenger during the 1912 disaster has sold at auction for 670,000 pounds ($906,000), far exceeding expectations as collectors continue to drive strong demand for rare artifacts from the ill-fated voyage. The preserved flotation device belonged to first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, who escaped the sinking liner aboard a lifeboat. The item, which also bears signatures from Francatelli and other survivors from the same lifeboat, was the standout piece in a sale of Titanic memorabilia and was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder. Auction estimates had placed the life jacket between 250,000 and 350,000 pounds, but competitive bidding pushed the final price well beyond that range, including the buyer’s premium. Another major item in the same auction was a seat cushion from one of the Titanic’s lifeboats, which sold for 390,000 ...

 The extension of educational policies to the remotest parts of Anambra State as one of the most laudable achievements of the Soludo-led administration-Prof Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, (Anambra Commissioner for Education)


Prof. Chuma-Udeh in her view, said that the greatest achievement of the current government is the provision of equitable education at the doorstep of every Anambra school-age child, particularly those living in the farthest communities of the state.


Speaking while responding to questions from a media crew from St. Dominic Savio Seminary, Akpu, Orumba South at the State Secretariat Complex, Awka, she said that towns such as Orumbanasa and Mmiata, which previously had no government schools, have now been provided with public educational facilities under the present administration.


She noted that it was difficult to believe that some communities were completely cut off from government presence in this era, but emphasized that the Soludo administration has redefined governance by ensuring inclusive access to education.


Addressing concerns about balancing digital education with moral character, she noted that education in Nigeria was historically introduced through religious missions, stressing that educating a child without moral values poses a danger to society, adding that the government understands this reality.
