 PRESS STATEMENT ON MY AMBASSADORIAL POSTING.  It gives me pleasure to announce the fact that Mr. President has graciously approved my posting as Nigeria's Ambassador-Designate to South Africa.    This came a few days after the initial posting to Germany was announced and after I made a formal representation to the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, that I was not comfortable with Germany for a number of personal reasons and given the fact that I had lived in Europe most of my life I would prefer to go to South Africa which is a country that I had never been to and for which I have so much interest.  I also expressed the fact that I would rather serve in a country that shares some of my convictions, beilefs and values when it comes to world affairs, that has the biggest economy in Africa, that has closer ties to Nigeria and that is more proximate to my political thinking when it comes to foreign affairs and a pan African vision.  I t...

 YOUNG MAN DIES, PASTOR BATTLES FOR LIFE AS STORM RAVAGES CHURCH IN KARU— FAMILY 


A heavy rainstorm has claimed the life of a young man, Moses Gata, and left a church pastor critically injured after the roof of a worship centre collapsed in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.


The incident occurred during a downpour accompanied by strong winds on Wednesday, which reportedly weakened the structure before it caved in on occupants.


Eyewitnesses said the intensity of the windstorm tore through the building, ripping off the roof and causing extensive damage. Several worshippers were trapped in the debris.


Moses Gata, described by acquaintances as calm and dedicated, died from injuries sustained in the collapse. His death has thrown family and friends into mourning.


The pastor of the church, who was also caught in the incident, is currently receiving treatment at a hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

Residents say the storm was unusually intense, raising fresh concerns about the safety of buildings, especially public and religious structures, during extreme weather.


A statement from the victim’s family called for urgent intervention.

“We appeal to the Nasarawa State Government, emergency agencies, and well-meaning Nigerians to support the treatment of the injured pastor and assist the family of the deceased,” the statement read.


The incident has renewed calls for stricter building standards and regular structural checks across the state.
