Gov Fayose plans Christmas dress for 10,000 children

At least 10,000 indigent children in Ekiti State will be provided Christmas dress during the Yuletide.

The state Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, disclosed this during a meeting with tailors in Ado-Ekiti.

According to a press release by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, on Sunday, the sewing and distribution of the clothes would take place in designated centres across the 16 local government areas of the state.

The governor also promised to buy 100 sewing machines to support those to be used as volunteer tailors during the exercise.

He added that the sewing machines would later be given out to tailors through a transparent balloting process.

Fayose said, “The exercise is part of our Stomach Infrastructure Programme and we have to take care of the needs of our people and make them happy.”

However, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti has scoffed at the governor’s plan, noting that it was “another fraudulent game to loot the treasury.”
The state APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday said, “it is sheer greed, wickedness and callous insensitivity to Ekiti people’s plight for Fayose to refuse to address doctors’ strike in the public hospitals over unpaid salaries while other workers remain unpaid for between six and nine months.”

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side.

Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said. In comments later confirmed to the media, Ahmed Mismari, spokesman of Haftar’s Libya National Army...
