IBESHE TITUN COMMUNITY LAMENTS 2 YEARS OF POOR POWER SUPPLY, CALLS ON IKEJA ELECTRIC, REP. BABAJIMI BENSON FOR NEW TRANSFORMER ®™√ INN Nigeria © storage emulated 0 pictures comica cartoon16785982920061950491421025041683 Housing in Ibeshe Tintun community has called on the power supply company, Ikeja Electric and Ikorodu Federal Lawmaker, Rep. Babajimi Benson MHR to come to their rescue. The ward D town in Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA has been experiencing poor power supply for the past 2years, according to dwellers. Bringing Ikorodu News Network (INN) attention to the challenge on the 11th of March 2023, residents revealed that the problem started when they had issues with their transformer, which Ikeja Electric opted to fix. Mr Rilwan Adewale Isabajo explains, "Ikeja Electric took the transformer to repair, but on returning it, they brought back another transformer with a lower capacity, which could not carry our entire community like the prior one". "We were automatically placed on light rotation and were informed to source for another transformer to balance our community power supply usage". "Ever since then, half of our neighbourhood does not have light due to the rotation". "Information we also learnt was that Ikeja Electric Company requested the community construct a slab for the new transformer to be placed, which they've done but still, we are yet to see a new transformer," Rilwan Adewale said. Moving around the town, Ikorodu News Network (INN) saw that the power supply shortage is presently affecting areas like; Alogba Street leading to AP bus stop, Ajetunmobi Street, Ajelebo Street, Salisu street, Adelegan street, Alhaji KSB kamoju close, Oluwoye community, Abule Ibeshe, Abiodun Ogurinde crescent, all in Ibeshe Titun community. He continued, "Whenever we try to engage our CDA leadership on the matter, we end up with no progressive response to the sob, and efforts to reach out to Ikeja Electric have also proved abortive". "Businesses are running down and homes are steadily operating on generators alone, for those that have the money". "Early this year, 27th of January, we wrote to the office of our federal lawmaker, Honourable Babajimi Benson, bemoaning on this same matter and seeking his support". "We believe that his intervention will go a long way to remedy our challenge" Rilwan Adewale asserted Another resident who accompanied Mr Rilwan Adewale further said that the light shortage has resulted in daily difficulties and botheration. He added that residents will be greatly benefitted if the community's request for the transformer is attended to with timely effort. The only functioning transformer (returned by Ikeja Electric) is positioned at Guardian street.

TINUBU @71: WHY PRESIDENT-ELECT IS GOD’S GIFT TO NIGERIA – OBASA ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230330 wa00028587412206409722933 Nigeria's President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is one of God's gifts to Nigeria, the most populous black nation on earth, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has said. Dr Obasa said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele, congratulating Tinubu who clocked 71 on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The Speaker said Tinubu, a puzzle too hard to crack', equates with great men around the world whose stories show great passion and undying love for their countries and citizens. According to him, the recent presidential election won by Asiwaju Tinubu is icing on the cake for the President-elect, who has never shied away from being of service to God and humanity. The Speaker recalled the sacrifice Tinubu made to take Nigeria back from the military and entrench democracy in the country, noting how difficult it is to find individuals with such a level of patriotism. "For a man, whose thought at all times is about salvaging the country from economic and social bondage, victory at the recent polls came at the right time. "There is no way Nigeria's political story can be written without Asiwaju featuring prominently as a result of the positive roles he played before the current democratic dispensation and up till this moment. "We believe that Almighty Allah has a reason for giving him to us in Nigeria, especially at this time of the nation's journey. We do not doubt his capacity to deliver. He has done it before. "With a birthday that comes exactly two months to his oath-taking as President of Nigeria, it is not out of place to say Asiwaju is a blessing to us, one sent to put things right and lay the foundation upon which modern Nigeria would be built. "On behalf of my family, members, staff and management of the Lagos State House of Assembly, I congratulate our dear Asiwaju on his 71st birthday and pray that Allah continues to favour him with vitality, good health and wisdom to navigate our country out of the woods, amin," Obasa prayed.

A collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, and the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, LASUSTECH, the Ikorodu Division Expo is organised by the Ikorodu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI).

Dr Adams eliminated that the challenges confronting the MSMEs varied and include access to low-interest loans, inadequate infrastructure, subsistence and manual production, mindset and lack of innovative ideas. He continued, "Relevant institutions must create access to low-interest funds for entrepreneurs to access while there is a need for MSMEs to scale up their production to meet local and export needs". "I also want to advise the Government to create a three-year pre-retirement entrepreneurship/investment window to transform public servants into entrepreneurs", he stated. In his brief address, the Vice-Chancellor, of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya averred that the Trade Fair is an opportunity to grow the economy of the Ikorodu Division.

TINUBU AT 71: ASIWAJU IS ALLAH’S CHOSEN, HE IS A SPECIAL BEING – SHEIKH YAHYA ASHAOLA ®™√ INN Nigeria © 78657hjkoooiio2544337968922659084 Spiritual Leader, His Eminence, Sheikh Yahya Ashaola (As-Samadaani), Chief Imam of Oriwu Central Mosque of Ikorodu has referred to Nigeria's President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a special being chosen by Allah to lead the current generation. In a sermon given to Muslim faithfuls on Wednesday, 29th of March 2023, marking the 71st birthday of Bola Tinubu, the chief Imam exhorted Nigerians to pray for the President-Elect, for Allah to bestow on him the ample disposition to oversee the nation. The liturgy was delivered after a special prayer and Thanksgiving session were held in the mosque dedicating Tinubu's birthday. Sheikh Ashaola, in his words, "Tinubu is the epitome of Intellectual capacity, a human resource developer and an economic stimulant, equipped for this time to rescue the shattered dreams of Nigerians". Urging the Muslim communities to put him (Tinubu) in their devotions at all times, the chief Imam said he can see the special work of Allah in the life of the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Underscoring another reason for brethren to beseech for Tinubu, Sheikh Ashaola said winning the 2023 presidential election has hoisted Bola Tinubu into a stature that even some well-respected political figures didn't attain. He explained, "The Late Obafemi Awolowo was considered the best President we never had. He was the head of the Yorubas, but he never permeated the North and East". "Today, Asiwaju has accomplished that!". "He's the most successful politician in Nigeria as we speak". "Asiwaju also suffered for the Democracy we enjoy today, he was tortured and humiliated, but his sense of focus and divine direction kept him moving to where he is now" Sheikh Ashaola added Crediting Tinubu's intellectual strength, Sheikh Ashaola asserted that the President-Elect is known to assemble the best brains to achieve sufficient results, narrating that he exemplified the same act during his first 6 months in office as Governor of Lagos State back in 1999. Subsequently, lecturing attendees, Imam Ojifinni Abdul-Ganiu, the Mufasir of Ramadan 1444/23 in Ikorodu, illustrated that it takes an extraordinary leader to discard his birthday celebration to engage more in service to humanity. Imam Ojifinni stated that the Yoruba population should emulate Bola Tinubu's life ethics, and ensure to give his incoming administration the peace it deserves. "No Yoruba group or body should be brainwashed or influenced to cause havoc on Asiwaju's presidential tenure, because the truth is, his effective performance at Aso Rock will open more doors to Yoruba leaders in the future, given them opportunities to also become president". "We must be careful not to allow people to use us to generate chaos and anarchy towards Asiwaju's tenure, it is the only way we can show him our profound support" Imam Ojifinni asserted On the backdrop of his 71st birthday, President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu directed that special prayers and thanksgiving service be held on March 29, 2023, instead of his annual birthday colloquium. The special prayers were also held in Lagos and other parts of the country, simultaneously.
