In a bid to boost food production in Lagos East Senatorial District, Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA , has facilitated farm inputs, containing fertilisers, seedlings and herbicides, for over three hundred local farmers in the agrarian communities of the district for the planting season. The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) provided the farm inputs through the intervention of the Senator. The empowerment is one in the series of agric-focused direct interventions targeted at livestock and crop farmers in majorly agricultural communities of Ikorodu, Epe, and Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Areas, under the Lagos East Senatorial District. It will be recalled that in November, 2023, over 100 livestock farmers received fully vaccinated Chickens, feeds and cages to scale up their poultry business, after receiving training from experts on how to nurture their birds, reduce mortality and make it big in the poultry business.  Mr. Enitan Olukotun, the media aide to ...

In a casual conversation with a friend back home in Nigeria, the stark contrast between opportunities in different parts of the world became painfully apparent. We were discussing the earnings of professionals, and what I heard about the salaries of professors in Canada left me speechless.  According to my friend, most professors in Canada earn around N500,000 a month. To some, this might sound like a decent sum, but when compared to the standard of living and earning potential in other countries, it's far from impressive. I couldn't help but wonder: How can individuals spend years studying and honing their expertise only to earn what seems like a meager sum back home? This conversation reignited my passion for helping others discover better opportunities abroad, particularly in Canada. That's why I created the Canada Sponsored Job Hack Masterclass. It's not just about finding a job; it's about unlocking a pathway to a better future. In the Masterclass, I share five...

We are reaching out to shed light on a critical predicament impacting all the recently graduated students of Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), which has now transitioned into a university. Throughout this transition, the institution continued to confer degrees to graduates from its polytechnic programs. However, these graduates are now encountering significant hurdles with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) concerning the regularization of our admissions. At the heart of the matter is JAMB's reluctance to process our regularization, which is essential for our eligibility to participate in the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). JAMB's rationale is rooted in their stance that they cannot regularize admissions for an institution that no longer exists, as LASPOTECH has been formally upgraded into a university and consequently removed from their portal. Despite concerted efforts to resolve this issue internally with the university's administration...
