OFFICE OF THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS

PRESS RELEASE

UMAHI RAISES ALARM OVER MISUSE OF ROADS, WARNS AGAINST PARKING OF TANKS, OTHER HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES

-As young engineers set to understudy the project under the President’s mentorship program

The Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON has raised serious concern over the damaging practice of parking fuel tankers and other heavy-duty vehicles on newly constructed roads, warning that such actions pose direct threat to the durability and lifespan of critical national infrastructure.

The Minister made this known during an inspection of the Aleto Bridge project, Rivers State on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

“Yesterday I was passing through this road, the entire road we have completed was totally blocked… not by moving vehicles but fuel tankers, they parked on the road.”

He emphasized that no road infrastructure is designed to withstand prolonged static loading from heavy vehicles.

“No road project anywhere in the world is designed for static loads, they will destroy the road.”

With the total project cost exceeding ₦230 billion ₦156 billion for phase one and ₦83 billion for phase two the Minister stressed that such investments must be protected.

“Is that what we should fold our hands and allow it to be destroyed?”

The Minister expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work being delivered by the contractor, RCC, while also commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his decisive intervention in sustaining the project.

“I want to thank RCC very highly and commend Mr President for his heart of love toward the Niger Delta,” the Minister stated.

He explained that although funding by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited ceased in August 2025, the President promptly approved an alternative funding mechanism, ensuring that work continued uninterrupted.

“We are not owing RCC on this project… it is a very, very highly skilled and technical project and I’m very happy w

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

WE WILL NOT ALLOW INSECURITY TO OVERSHADOW OUR EFFORTS AT HELPING THE VULNERABLE, PRESIDENT TINUBU SAYS

President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Sunday in Lagos, said his administration will intensify efforts to tackle the challenges of insecurity across various parts of the country, assuring that the safety and well-being of citizens featured at the meetings held in the United Kingdom.

President Tinubu, who hosted the Vice President Kashim Shettima and 23 governors at his Lagos home for the Eid el-Fitr, said that he had followed up on support for modern security interventions with French President Emmanuel Macron.

“Your presence here today and the number show your sincerity, commitment and value for friendship and togetherness.

“The next phase of our struggle is staring us in the face, and that is the challenge of insecurity in the country.

“I am making all the efforts to ensure that we collectively share the joy of our victory over tyranny. Insecurity is an enemy of development, progress, and prosperity. I am glad you are all mindful of the challenge.

“For me, I have committed to strengthening further the contacts and networks that are necessary. One of the major discussions in the United Kingdom was on equipment and support.

“I can report to you that yesterday, again, I had a lengthy discussion with French President Emmanuel Macron. They are collaborating with us for equipment and support. I am also making frantic efforts to contact other nations,’’ he stated.

President Tinubu and First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, returned on Friday from a three-day State Visit to the United Kingdom, where King Charles III and Queen Camila hosted them.

The President also held a meeting with the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, before his return to Nigeria for the Eid-el-fitr.

“We should care more for the vulnerable. I know this Middle East crisis will spike inflation and affect our purchasing power. The labour union and others will be

Hope Uzodinma’s Security Record Under Fire At City Boys Event In Imo State, Nigeria

I want to be very frank about what happened at the City Boys event in Imo State. I always speak the truth, regardless of allegiances or political alignments. We all know I fully support the government of Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu.

I am not a partisan person, but I deeply believe in good policies, good governance, and effective leadership. These are qualities that President Bola Ahmed Bola Tinubu has consistently demonstrated throughout his career, including his tenure as Governor of Lagos State, where I have followed him as my mentor.

Now, regarding Imo State, what happened yesterday at the City Boys event was deeply disappointing. Governor Hope Uzodinma showed glaring failures in his role as Chief Security Officer of the state. Security, which should be a top priority, was clearly inadequate. This is not speculation; it is what we witnessed firsthand.

Often, people in leadership positions try to lobby and curry favor with Mr. President through sycophancy, seeking access and benefits. But the events in Imo State yesterday are evidence that much work still needs to be done.

To the City Boys, you went to Imo State believing every word spoken by Hope Uzodinma. Let me tell you, the reality on the ground is very different. Being a village girl gives me native intelligence, and I understand the advantage of those who are grounded, informed, and know every nook and cranny of their territory. Village boys and girls have this advantage naturally. Security in Imo State has once again proven inadequate. Governor Hope Uzodinma has failed in this fundamental responsibility.

City Boys, this is not the end of the road. Take this as a learning moment. Go back, brainstorm, re-strategize, and correct the mistakes. This is not 100 percent failure for you; you can rise stronger.

To Hope Uzodinma, your words have once again been exposed as inconsistent with reality. Security needs urgent attention. Y

10 ways to correct a stubborn child without shouting

In homes where shouting is the default response, correction can quickly turn into daily conflict.

But constant shouting does not teach long-term discipline. It often leads to power struggles, fear, and emotional distance. If you want to correct a stubborn child without raising your voice, here are calm, practical strategies that work in Nigerian homes

**THE NEED FOR CHANGE IN IBIONO IBOM LGA REPRESENTATION**

As a resident of Ibiono Ibom LGA, I find it important to raise some pressing questions regarding our representation in the state constituency. Over the past seven years, our current representative from Central Ibiono has been in office, yet there are noticeable signs of stagnation. Many residents, including myself, have seen little to no improvements in our community.

The absence of essential infrastructure, such as roads, and the lack of state government attention in Ibiono raise concerns about the effectiveness of our leadership. It is disheartening to witness the neglect of our needs while our representative seeks another term in office. This calls into question whether only the Central zone should hold the seat in our constituency. If the answer is no, then it is time for us to consider the potential of other zones to bring about positive change.

One strong candidate who deserves consideration is Rt. Hon. Victor Akan , PhD, from the Eastern zone, specifically Ward One. His track record as a former councilor shows his dedication and effectiveness in serving the community. During his time in office, he focused on initiatives that had a positive impact on our local area. His experience and commitment make him a suitable candidate to represent us at the state level.

It is crucial for us as a community to gather and discuss the pressing issues we face. We need to hold our leaders accountable and demand that they prioritize the development of our LGA. This includes better infrastructure, healthcare, and educational facilities. The lack of government presence in Ibiono should motivate us to rally behind candidates who have demonstrated the capability and integrity to lead.

As we approach the next election, it is vital that we engage in open conversations about our choices. We must ask ourselves whether we are satisfied with the status quo ,

Veteran actor famous for playing Papa Ajasco (Abiodun Ayoyinka) says that despite acting the role for decades, he still has no house and no car of his own

According to him, when he started acting the series produced by Wale Adenuga around 1997, he was being paid about ₦2,500 per episode.
Over the years, the payment increased gradually to ₦3,000, ₦4,000, ₦5,000, ₦20,000 and ₦25,000.

Today in 2026, he says he earns about ₦45,000 per episode which is even below Nigeria’s ₦70,000 minimum wage.

He also explained that the character “Papa Ajasco” has been trademarked by Wale Adenuga. Because of this, he cannot take endorsement deals or commercial opportunities using the character without permission from the trademark owner.

But legally, is there anything he can still do now?

Possibly yes, depending on the circumstances.

🥢 He may review the contract he signed to see whether there are provisions for better remuneration, royalties, or other benefits.
🥢 If the character and show continue to generate commercial value, he may negotiate improved terms or compensation with the producer.
🥢 In some cases, where the arrangement appears grossly unfair or exploitative, the matter could even become a subject of legal review or renegotiation.

However, as long as the trademark for the character is validly registered, the actor cannot independently commercialize the character without permission from the owner.

The legal lesson for young creatives

Before playing a major character in a film or TV series, always understand:
🥢 Who owns the character rights
🥢 Whether you are entitled to royalties or residual payments
🥢 What happens if the show becomes commercially successful years later

Because in law, being the face of a character does not always mean you own it. The real ownership usually belongs to the person who created it, registered it, or protected it through a contract.
