Nyesom Wike and Abuja roads, by Is’haq Modibbo Kawu
Today is Saturday, May 4th, 2024. I had an early appointment inside the precincts of Aso Villa. I live in the Gudu District of Abuja, so I came out of my residence and took the turn through the Gudu cemetery, and followed the direction towards Asokoro. That was where my “problem” commenced. I hadn’t driven in that direction for several…

Tinubu: A year of healing and unifying Nigeria, by Fredrick Nwabufo
The intangibles of leadership are as potent and profound as the corporeal manifestations of governance. A people must not only see the brick-and-mortar elements of leadership; they must also feel and sense leadership in its quantum of compassion, healing, solace, and capacity to inspire unity, as well as foster peace and progress. In fact, the incorporeal constituents of leadership are…

Yoruba Week: Another cultural master stroke from the Centre of Excellence, by Akeem Lasisi
If a state like Lagos is not proactive, it may one day discover that its tradition and culture have disappeared with the wind. Being a melting pot – the global village of the Giant of Africa – its culture stands the risk of getting neutralised as it spreads its aquatic carpet for all and sundry trooping in with their variegated…

Lagos-Calabar coastal road: Leave the talk, let’s face the business, by Dada Olusegun
The Lagos-Calabar coastal road project is undoubtedly Nigeria’s most ambitious transport infrastructure project since independence. In terms of scope, distance covered, and connectivity, not even the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos, the 2nd Niger Bridge in Onitsha/Asaba, or the Abuja-Kano expressway comes close. It is simply a world-class iconic project. Before I go further, I want us to take a…

The PDP mid-life crisis: An abstract! By Olawale Olaleye
For many and as with institutions, the time to start the journey of self-discovery and perhaps personal growth usually comes after a later-life crisis. It is the stage people reconcile their reality with their fears for a reassessment of what is possible and important in their lives. From state to state, the challenges of leadership that the PDP faces are…

Who has bewitched our beloved America? By Femi Fani-Kayode
I really do wonder whether those great patriots that fought a long and bloody war against British colonial rule and founded the United States of America in 1776 like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and so many others envisaged what has happened to their beloved country today? I wonder whether the Pilgrim Fathers and great and wise…

Africa and the imperative of South Korea’s development model, by Tunde Rahman

South Korea’s economy had been vastly developed, and its economic structure radically transformed since after World War II in 1945 and the Korean War in 1953.
