 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese.

 Ohio high school band performs at Disney after thieves steal instruments hours before show

An Ohio high school marching band overcame a major setback to perform at Walt Disney World after thieves stole thousands of dollars' worth of instruments just hours before their show.

Ashland High School students traveled to Orlando’s Magic Kingdom after years of fundraising and preparation. But on the morning of March 29, they discovered their locked trailer had been broken into overnight at their hotel on International Drive, with roughly 20% of their instruments missing. The stolen instruments included clarinets, trumpets, trombones, and saxophones, many of which held deep personal value to students.

“About 20% of the kids in that parade were using instruments they’d never touched,” said band director Marty Kral. “And they still nailed it.”

With the clock ticking, band leaders contacted Music & Arts, a national retailer, which quickly provided replacement instruments from two Orlando locations. When the band was still one saxophone short, staff reached out via Facebook to another Ohio school band performing at Disney, and a parent from Anna High School loaned the final instrument just before midnight.

Despite the challenges, every Ashland student performed on Monday, marching down Main Street at Walt Disney World and playing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story. The crowd cheered as students, some on unfamiliar instruments, delivered a flawless performance.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft.
