An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Wednesday differed the sentencing of a man, Haruna Umar, until Sept. 11 after he pleaded guilty to stabbing a man over a cup of beverage worth N200. The Magistrate, Mr. J.A. Adigun, said Umar should be kept behind bars at Kirikiri Prisons pending sentence. According to the Prosecutor, Sgt. Godwin Awase, the accused committed the offence on Aug. 14 at Ladoje, Oko-Oba, Agege, a Lagos suburb.

The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has accorded full accreditation to the Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering courses of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA). Registrar of the Council, Kamila Maliki, said in a letter to the university that this followed the reaccreditation visitation by COREN to the university’s undergraduate engineering programme in April. Maliki, an engineer, said in a statement by the university’s Deputy Registrar (Information and Publications) Waziri Garba that the interim accreditation status of the two courses took effect from April 20 and is valid for five years. The COREN Registrar, however, warned in the letter dated August 2, that there would be random visits to the university within the period of validity to check on the state of facilities.

From the words of vince Lombardi which says "winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is. " This is a very deep statement.  For me, it means it is not enough to win but the will to win. Some people will relax because they feel just winning is enough. Take for example the English premier league. Winning has to be your watchword if you intend to lift the trophy or even remain in the league. The will and determination to win goes along with consistency and focus on the desired result.... A burning desire to achieve your goal is the first step towards success.

Just like marketing a product, everyone presents themselves in the most pleasant and admirable way. People always tend to present the good side and never mentioning the other side. That's not wrong anyway because no one will speak ill of themselves. However, I won't want you to ponder on trying to know someone from the words of their mouth. Talk is cheap, they will only tell what will be pleasant to your hears. After the acquaintance, Just relate freely and watch closely. You will know the person's true colour. Pretending can't be sustained for long. Their actions and how they relate with others will tell you who they. ..... Actions speak louder than words.

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Wednesday said lack of budgetary provision was slowing down his ministry’s plan to intervene in 61 roads across the country. Fashola disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said, “I want to sincerely empathise with commuters using that road (Apapa-Oshodi Expressway) at this moment. The raining season is not very helpful for ministries departments and agencies responsible for civil works and road maintenance. “We have seen what is happening on a global scale. We had made some plans to forestall these kind of things. “We have identified 61 critical intervention spots across the country following my tour in the first quarter but we did not get the budgetary support to make that intervention. So we are constrained. “You will remember I had also spoken on the need for a conting
