I have no reason to support assault on Ajaero – Uzodimma
Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has said that he had no reason to have supported the attack on the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, during protest in the state. Uzodimma said, “I think Joe Ajaero is pursuing his interest. He has a candidate in the election of Imo State, so he is driving whatever programme will give an advantage to the Labour Party in Imo State. “If you follow with interest the history of the Labour Congress from 1999 till date, never in the history of any government has the Labour Congress or Labour union, shown the level of hostility they have shown to this administration. I have no reason to encourage or support an assault on Joe Ajaero, who is the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress.”Asked whether the governor could directly apologise to the NLC President over the assault, Uzodimma said, “Ordinarily, whether Joe Ajaero is the Labour President, if such a thing happens to any human being, I must apologise because it’s in my state.

15 useless airports and Nigeria’s concrete democracy
In Nigeria, concrete democracy manifests in the building of bridges, flyovers, foot bridges, airports, highways, stadia, public buildings, universities, public transport systems, all of which are of minimal productive value. Since 1999, some 15 airports built by state governments of Ogun, Bayelsa, Osun, Delta, Ebonyi, Akwa Ibom, Ekiti, Anambra, Abia, Yobe, Nasarawa, Kebbi, Edo, Gombe, and Jigawa have (expectedly) been underperforming. Concrete projects like that are thus mainly self-directed. How many people in the whole of the 15 states that built these airports earn enough salaries to even buy a plane ticket? All over Nigeria, projects like those 15 airports consume money without returns.

Motorists have continued to lament over the traffic chaos that has persisted along the Apapa-Oshodi expressway which leads to the Tin-Can Island Port in Lagos.
