@ShehuSani Please don't support this nonsense policy. So agriculture and education courses are for unintelligent people? I am a graduate of agriculture from UNAAB, further to Msc in Belgium . Today, I am a great farmer in Ekiti. This nonsense policy will kill interest in the courses.

Exempting Students seeking to study Education and Agriculture from taking the UTME is a rightful and commendable decision.It will boost the teaching profession,improve the quality of our educational system and encourage young people into Mordern agriculture.

@JAMBHQ If you try this nonsense, then I will urge you to scrap the UTME completely, and JAMB should be closed down. Universities will determine admissions.

Candidates seeking admissions into Education Programs and Agriculture non-Engineering Courses are now exempted from UTME.

@EleluAyoola May Up lawal rest in peace. His idea of creating new LGAS would have opened rural areas today with a viable economy. Evil agenda prevent it

DID YOU KNOW?????? During the tenure Governor Mohammed Alabi Lawal (1999–2003), he spearheaded a move to expand the administrative structure of Kwara State by creating 36 Local Government Areas (LGAs) from the existing 16. This initiative was a centerpiece of his "grassroots development" agenda but became a major flashpoint for the political rivalry that defined his administration. Origins and Demands The creation process began in response to a surge of requests for localized governance. - The Idris Panel: Late Admiral Lawal constituted a panel led by Engineer Aliyu O. Idris to review the requests. The panel received 1,213 memoranda, with demands for new councils peaking at 44. - Legislative Action: On 28 October 2002, Governor Lawal presented a bill to the Kwara State House of Assembly to amend the Kwara State Local Government Law of 1999. - Referendum: The proposal was supported by a statewide referendum, which Lawal claimed demonstrated popular will for the expansion. Proposed Local Governments The plan aimed to increase the number of LGAs to 36, with some of the proposed new councils including: - Ilorin Axis: Ilorin North, Ilorin North West, Ilorin South Central, Ilorin South East, and Ilorin West Central. - Other Regions: Offa North, Owode, Odo-Ogun, Tsaragi/Tsongo, and Maaro (notable for harboring the relics of Afonja). Opposition and Cancellation Despite the legislative progress, the initiative was mired in controversy and eventually dismantled: - Political Friction: The creation of these councils intensified the rift between Lawal and his former mentor, Dr. Olusola Saraki. Many of the state's elites, aligned with Saraki, opposed the move. - The Bukola Saraki Reversal: After defeating Lawal in the 2003 elections, Dr. Bukola Saraki invalidated the 36-LGA structure. The new administration argued that the process was "unsuccessful" and returned the state to the original 16-LGA framework. - Economic Viability: Critics of the expansion, and later the Saraki administration, argued that the new councils were not economically sustainable given the federal allocation structure. Lasting Impact The 16-LGA structure created in 1976 remains in place today. Subsequent governors, including Abdulfatah Ahmed, explored creating Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) as a compromise, but Kwara remains one of the few states with a high population-to-LGA ratio that has not successfully expanded its local governance tier. What's your view on creation of additional LGAs in the State? Ilorin News Outlet

@abdullahayofel What do your people really want? This man is overrated. 1960 and 1961 are a few days apart. You can not claim you know the globe more than Peter obi because of date of birth. I could say I know the globe more than you despite being older than me by 16 years.

'Kwankwaso is the vehicle to sell Peter Obi to the North, but we have the record of what Peter Obi did to Northerners’ — says Prof. Yusuf 😳👀👇

@abdullahayofel You guys are funny. Will the governor resign when his 2nd term has not expired? The Imo governor is a two term senator. Why is this rumour of reverse rule affected him?

JUST IN: Governor Hope Uzodimma's rumoured Senate Presidency ambition crumbles as the Senate has today amended its standing orders to restrict eligibility for the office of Senate President to members of the 10th Senate. The decision followed a marathon closed-door session on Tuesday, after which lawmakers agreed on new criteria aimed at reinforcing parliamentary hierarchy and experience. Under the revised rules, only senators who have served two terms will be eligible to contest for principal offices, and one of the two terms must be the immediate term preceding the nomination, effectively narrowing the field of contenders. By implication, only senators currently serving in the 10th Senate who secure re-election into the 11th Senate will qualify to vie for the Senate presidency and other principal positions.

@Ebenbolu @akinwale_cfi I hope I can make it to the place.

Ekiti To Flag -Off Yam Seed Support Programme on Wednesday ..to also distribute subsidized improved tree seedlings to farmers Ekiti State Government will on Wednesday flag-off its Yam Seed Support Programme and distribute improved tree seedlings to farmers as part of efforts to boost agricultural production and strengthen food security in the state. The State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Ebenezer Boluwade, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti. Boluwade said the flag-off ceremony for the yam seed support programme would hold at the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) Office, ADP, Odo-Ado, Ado-Ekiti, by 10:00 a.m. He added that the distribution of subsidised tree seedlings would follow at the Livestock Development Centre, Erifun, Ado-Ekiti, by 11:00 a.m., targeting oil palm and cocoa farmers. According to him, the yam seed support initiative is designed to provide improved yam seeds to farmers as part of the state government’s broader strategy to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure a steady supply of raw materials to yam processors.

@DeeOneAyekooto Falana will be better

Left to me, if the President asked me who the next Minister of Power should be, I will suggest brilliant people like Femi Falana, Oby Ezekwesilli or Buba Galadima. Appoint any of them, power failure will end within one week!
