The panel, led by the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Mr Wale Edun, is charged with thoroughly examining and auditing the social investment programs’ current financial structures and policy directives.

LASEPA PONMO

In a bid to reduce carbon emissions in Lagos state, the State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has advised residents to reduce the consumption of animal skin, locally known as ponmo.

The General manager of LASEPA Mr. Babatunde Ajayi, said the burning of cow skin releases carbon emissions into the air, which are very harmful to the environment and humans.

Mr..Ajayi said this while commenting on the air quality index data released by the agency.

According to the data, Iba town, UNILAG research lab, and Lamata Ketu topped the list of areas with the most unhealthy air quality.

Mr. Ajayi said agricultural emission contributes to poor air quality in areas with high levels of agricultural activities.

He added that vehicular emissions also contribute to poor air quality in many parts of the state.

He said animal farming particularly the processing of hides and skin in Agege accounts for a huge amount of carbon emissions.

What can you say about this APC form amount

*MURDER INSIDE BRT: IGP AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE OVER THE INVESTIGATION*

Events unfolding concerning the murder of Miss Oluwabamishe Ayanwole are as intriguing as they are worrisome. Following public outcry and media monitoring, the Lagos State Government hurriedly packaged the Bus Rapid Transfer driver for media interview, to give the impression that he was innocent of the crime.

Some further revelations have now thrown up very serious questions that the Lagos State Government must answer, if it is not covering up this dastardly act of daylight murder.

In a homicide matter of this magnitude, how can a prime suspect who was declared missing, be handed over to government by the security agencies?

A video of his initial arrest showed that the driver confessed to having carnal knowledge of the deceased, in very remorseful fashion. He was dressed in shabby and disheveled attire, truly reflecting his fugitive status as of the time of his arrest.

Who then packaged a crime suspect, to turn out clean shaven, dressed in specially designed Lagos State Government outfit and now well tutored to claim innocence to set up the c**k and bull story of hijack?

Why was Lagos State Government romancing a murder suspect?

And why was he paraded on a selected media of TV Continental, over which Lagos State has influence through patronage?

What is the business of Lagos State in the interrogation of a murder suspect?

The Commissioner of Police had earlier addressed the press to the extent that the suspect had confessed to the crime before Lagos State emerged with the latter James Bond storyline.

What interest is the government serving to cover up a clear case of blue murder?

Has there been other cases of ritual killings in BRT buses to which the government has become accustomed?

Why will a driver whose bus was hijacked and has thus become a victim himself then bolt away for days without reporting to his employers?

Your employee that was trusted with human carriage took your citizen who boarded the bus innocently based on trust that it’s a government outfit, your driver allegedly saw the citizen abducted, your driver drove the bus to you, he did not report the incident but handed over the bus and disappeared and after public outcry he was apprehended and all you do is dress him up for press interview to lie to the public, after killing an innocent girl?

What kind of government will do this wickedness and expect to earn the trust of its people?

It will be a sad day for humanity in general for a responsible government to stoop so low to try to cover up a clear case of murder, just for public relations. It is unthinkable that Governor Babajide Sanwoolu that we know would be a party to this nonsense story of hijack, which does not add up at all.

It is clear that the Lagos State police command cannot be trusted to handle this case, given that it surrendered a murder suspect still under investigation to the Lagos State Government for media packaging.

I therefore urge the federal government and the Inspector-General of Police to take over this investigation immediately, before the case is completely compromised.

Dear friends,

When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.

Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.

One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on" .
He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book.
I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistake.
My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life".

Have you made some mistakes in life? Cross it over and move on.
*Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.*

_Better things are ahead of you._
Strike out your 2020 mistakes and move into 2021 with a fresh note.🤏🏼

```🎄Compliments of the season & a prosperous new year to you all⛲```
