Today, our administration empowered 2000 artisans with modern working tools to start their trade with the biggest revelation being 76 years old Pa Fawole Johnson Alade who showed us that there is no age too old to learn.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the submission on his social media handle yesterday.

As such, warm-blooded animals are physiologically,
getting larger beaks, legs and ears to adapt to a hotter climate and to better
regulate their temperature.
With the differences becoming more pronounced
as the climate warms, when animals overheat, birds use their beaks and mammals
use their ears to disperse the warmth and some creatures in warmer climates
have historically evolved to have larger beaks or ears to get rid of heat more
easily, the Guardian reports.
According to the report, if animals fail to
control their body temperature, they can overheat and die just as beaks, which are not covered by feathers and
therefore not insulated, are a site of significant heat exchange, as are ears,
tails and legs in mammals if not covered by fur.

The review, published in the journal Trends
in Ecology & Evolution, found that the differences are particularly
pronounced in birds, according to the report, as the author of the study, Sara
Ryding of Deakin University, a bird researcher, said: “Shapeshifting does not
mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine.
“It just means they are evolving to survive
it – but we’re not sure what the other ecological consequences of these changes
are, or indeed that all species are capable of changing and surviving.”
While the scientists say it is difficult to pinpoint climate breakdown as the sole cause of the shapeshifting, it is what the instances studied have in common across geographical regions and across a diverse array of species like the Australian parrot that have shown a 4-10% increase in bill size since 1871, positively correlated with the summer temperature each year, the report stated further.

FULANI cattle breeders in the country have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to do anything possible to frustrate anti-open grazing laws being passed by some states across the country, describing the laws as satanic against their age-long tradition, Vanguard Newspaper reports.
According to the report, the cattle breeders operating under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, expressed concerns over the actions of the states, particularly Southern states, insisting that they were counterproductive to their known economic business.
The group, at a press conference in Abuja, decried the ranching method of rearing cattle as captured in the anti-open grazing laws, noting that: “Ranching as envisage by many requires massive capital investment and difficult to sustain, not economical and is not small livestock holder centered”, the report stated further.

King OYEYEMI orders the assassination of Chief ABIODUN KOTANSIBE purposely to inherit his farmland, the only fertile piece of land in the community.
Now as Chairman of the farmlands association, Oyeyemi retrenches all the workers and replaces them with his choice personnel, his idea of rotational employment.
Given a very successful retrenchment exercise, Oyeyemi later endorses a sharp price increase of all his farm produce, a development which indirectly shoots up the prices of every other item in the market.
“When the epistemology of Northern traditional institutions would be written, however, it will be recorded that while Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, the deposed emir of Kano, thought it more profound and reverential to be called and addressed simply as “Sarkin Kano”, a certain Adanno thought the title had become too debased and common that he needed a higher, more exclusive order of preferment. He wanted to be called sultan instead.
“When mad men under the franchise of Boko
Haram or their affiliates maim, murder, rape and destroy in the name of Allah,
claiming that if they die, a bevy of brides awaits them at the entrance of
paradise, you might expect the spiritual curator of the religion to either keep
quiet or admonish such fanatics behind closed doors.
“At least in the religious cauldron that Nigeria has turned out to be. But that’s not the Sultan that Abubakar III is – or has been. He tells the mad men in plain language, which he repeated in a recent meeting I had with him, that: “They’ll go straight to hell!” And he says so publicly, too. That no one can kill in Allah’s name and hope to find shelter in paradise.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris
Ngige |
Nigeria’s Federal Government will recover millions of naira wrongly paid to 588 medical doctors across the country.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen.
Chris Ngige, stated this while answering questions from State House
correspondents in Abuja.
According to the minister, the affected
doctors wrongly benefitted from Medical Residency Training Fund meant for a
particular category of doctors.
He said the names of the doctors were
uncovered after a thorough scrutinisation of the 8000 names submitted by Chief
Medical Directors of Federal Government health institutions for the training
programme.
While maintaining that the delay in making the refund by the affected doctors was holding back the Residency Fund payment by the government Ngige, however, revealed that a substantial amount of the money had been refunded by some of the affected doctors while efforts had been intensified to recover the remaining balance.

China has promised to keep its embassy in Kabul open and “beef up” relations, the Taliban have said, as Afghanistan’s new rulers worked on preparing their new government and winning international recognition, The Guardian reports.
According to the report, a spokesman for
the Islamist militia, Suhail Shaheen, said on Friday a senior member of the
Taliban’s political office in Qatar had been told by China’s deputy foreign
minister that Beijing also aimed to increase humanitarian assistance.
While the west has mostly adopted a wait-and-see approach and demanded evidence, as the Taliban move from insurgency to government, of more inclusive government and respect for human rights, China has said it seeks “friendly and cooperative” relations – although it, too, has yet to formally recognise the new regime, the report stated and submits further that analysts have said a stable and cooperative administration in Kabul could pave the way for major Chinese infrastructural and other investment in Afghanistan, possibly including in the war-ravaged country’s big copper and lithium
