WE NEED TO WORK QUICKLY TO CORRECT THINGS, SAYS AG. PRESIDENT OSINBAJO, AFTER UNSCHEDULED VISIT TO MURTALA MOHAMMED INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Just few days after the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, PEBEC, adopted a 60-day Action Plan to push Ease of Doing Business reforms in the country, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, paid a surprise visit to Nigeria's major international airport in Lagos, declaring an urgent task to correct many of the problems already identified by the Council.

Speaking briefly with the press after inspecting several parts at the airport for over an hour, Prof. Osinbajo said the visit was in line with the work of PEBEC.

According to him, "as part of our work on the Ease of Doing Business, on making the environment friendly, not just for local businesses but also for those who want to come and do business in Nigeria, the airport obviously is one of the major places where we need to ensure that facilities are working and that things are being run properly."

EFCC Grip Jonathan's former aide Waripamowei Dudafa at Lagos Airport over his alleged involvement in $2.1bn arms deal fraud

The EFCC has arrested the former Senior Special Assistant to former President Jonathan on Domestic Matters, Waripamowei Dudafa, over his allegedly involvement in the $2.1 billion arms deal fraud. 

Economic and Financial Crime Commission sources say Waripamowei was arrested yesterday Monday April 18th while attempting to board a flight at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos.

He has been implicated in the ongoing $2.1 billion arms deal scandal in the office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA) retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.

Dufada was reported to have involved in the sharing of N10billion taken from the office of the former NSA and shared to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) delegates during the 2015 general elections. 

Why Nigerian military blocks newspapers distribution in Abuja, Lagos

The Nigerian military on Saturday continued its onslaught on newspapers by sealing off the popular major distribution depot in the Area 1 District of Abuja, from where all newspapers are distributed to agents and vendors across the Nigerian capital. Witnesses said soldiers in about seven trucks laid siege on the distribution point, preventing any kind of newspaper circulation from taking place.

The military attack on Nigerian newspapers commenced on Friday with soldiers confiscating thousands of Nigerian newspapers including Leadership, The Nation, and Punch newspapers.

Media houses promptly devised an alternate and secret means to ensure their papers get to the public in the Nigerian capital promptly; a reminder of the days of military dictatorship.
