Ambode terminates 48-room hotel project in Badagry


Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has ordered the termination of a multi-billion naira 48-bedroom hotel project in Badagry, just as he blacklisted the company handling the project.

The project is currently being promoted as part of measures by the Ambode-led administration to boost tourism within the Badagry axis.
The contract for the multi-billion naira hospitality business project was awarded in 2013 to Messrs Anatolia International Limited.
A statement issued on by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, quoted the governor as saying  that the decision to terminate the contract followed a resolution taken at the State Executive Council meeting which held, on Wednesday, after an appraisal of progress report on the project.
While lamenting  that the pace of work so far on the project  was not commensurate with the amount already released for the project, he also cited inefficiency and overall poor performance by the contractor as reasons for the contract termination.
“The inability of Messrs. Anatolia International Limited to key into the vision of the present administration, as part of the efforts to fast-track the development of its tourism sector, necessitated the decision of the State Executive Council to terminate the contract.”
He added that the current administration is resolved in its avowed mission to bring rapid infrastructural development to the state in a manner that gives zero-tolerance to insouciance and inefficiency.
However, he maintained that one of the major policy thrusts of the current administration is tourism and hospitality sector development, adding the government had left no one in doubt about its resolve to grow the state’s economy and empower the youths through several alternative means including  tactical promotion of tourism, entertainment and sports

Ex-Big Brother Naija star, singer and guitarist, Deborah Ebun, popularly called Debie-Rise, has revealed how her Dad pardoned her after she sneaked out to the show. Debbie-Rise was one of the contestants that lasted till the last day of the reality show. While in the show, she had told fellow housemates how she ran out of her home because her dad, a pastor, would not let her attend the show. The Kogi-born singer, who has been touring media houses since the end of the reality, said, “Apart from the fact that my father is a pastor, I feel like I’m a typical girl with a good cultural upbringing from the north where parents are very protective of their children or they are just worried about the outside world like the city life. “So, I understood it as to the kind of life he wanted for me. I know he wants the best for me and he was just trying his best. “He was trying to be protective but being a pastor and me trying to have a career in music, there could be this friction....

Senator Abba Moro Excludes Obi and Oju from Medical Outreach as Bad Roads Cut Off Communities

  Senator Abba Moro Excludes Obi and Oju from Medical Outreach as Bad Roads Cut Off Communities By Smith Akoko A wave of disappointment has swept through the Obi and Oju Local Government Areas of Benue State following their exclusion from the recent medical outreach organized by Senator Abba Moro. According to sources close to the outreach team, the decision to skip the two localities was not intentional but rather a result of the deplorable state of the roads linking the communities. The impassable routes reportedly made it impossible for medical personnel and logistics teams to access the areas safely. Residents and community leaders, however, have expressed their frustration, lamenting that the poor road network continues to rob them of essential services.
