ACE OF THE DAY (ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT, INNOSON MOTORE NIG.LTD)
The Enugu State government recently flagged off its public mass transportation scheme for citizens of the state. Dubbed the “Coal City Transport” project, the scheme will be bussed by Innoson Motors NIG Ltd, an indigenous vehicle manufacturing and assembling plant, based in Anambra State! The State government has already taken possession of thirty buses, in a first installment, for the take-off of the project. We can only hope that this kind of initiative and cooperation spreads across the length and breadth of Nigeria, especially as regards our march to becoming the twentieth largest economy in the world by the year 2020!
JOKER OF THE DAY (CHIEF OLABODE GEORGE, NIGERIA’S ANTI-CORRUPTION DRIVE)
A thanksgiving service was held for the release from prisons, of Chief Olabode George, a former head of the Nigerian Ports Authority. Chief George was convicted of embezzling a public fund worth several billions of naira and was sentenced to a two-year jail term, in 2009. Therefore, to commemorate his release, family and friends organized the service in his honour! However, such acts of celebration for someone who committed such crimes against the state put our drive to stamp out the scourge of corruption in a quagmire. A crisis of confidence, a crisis of sincerity, and a nation that needs to sincerely fight to a standstill, the malaise of corruption and self-aggrandizement!
