The Patriots has shifted its national political summit from May 27–28 to June 11 and 12 in Abuja

A statement from its Secretariat said that the new date was due to the 26th anniversary of Nigeria’s return to civil rule on May 29. 

It was learned that among issues proposed for discussions are: provision for judicial adjudication of corruption and betrayal of trust matters, remuneration of members of the National Assembly, remuneration and compensations in the public service, electoral system, political party structures, revenue management format, security architecture, and fiscal arrangement.

Other items on the list are management of resources and revenue, concurrent functional responsibilities, regional border changes and disputes, as well as equal rights among federating regions, basis of state government, status of the federal capital territory (FCT), federal Executive Council, powers and functions of the President, restructuring of states based ethnic homogeneity and other items are contained in the document.

The Lagos State Government is investigating the employment of 89 labourers from Katsina State at Dangote Refinery, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.

The development comes after a recent viral video showed the young men arriving in Lagos and converging on the Ibeju-Lekki area of the state, sparking security concerns among locals, and on social media.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said an investigation was ongoing.

He maintained that security agencies were aware of the situation and should be allowed to conclude the probe.

“We are investigating the matter. I’m sure security agencies are also not unaware of it. It will be nice to let them do their investigation,” Omostoso said.

Three people were rescued and taken to the hospital after a two-storey building under construction collapsed in the Mushin area of Lagos on Sunday.

The incident occurred at about 3:50 p.m. at Ishaga Road, directly opposite the Central Mosque in Idi Araba.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed the collapse in a statement made available to journalists.

According to Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, the NEMA Coordinator for the Lagos Territorial Office, emergency response teams were swiftly mobilised to the scene, where ongoing rescue operations were launched.

“Two people have been rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Operations are still ongoing,” Farinloye initially said, adding that further updates would be provided as more information becomes available.

He later added that another person was rescued at 6.35 pm. The cause of the collapse has not yet been officially determined, but the incident adds to a string of structural failures that have plagued Lagos in recent years, often attributed to poor regulatory oversight, substandard materials, and disregard for approved building plans.
