Fashola seeks technology to develop rail transport
Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola says a mutual collaboration between Nigeria and any country with a reliable technology on rail transportation will guarantee long life span for roads across the country.
Fashola spoke at the Lagos House, Ikeja, during a courtesy visit by the Russian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Nickolay Udovichenko.

Jang, Amaechi clash again
I am of the opinion that the press should stop disturbing the Nigerian public with the inability of the state governors to conduct a mere election of 35 persons. They all have shown that they are not true democrats-both the person that changed the rule to suit him by being the umpire in an election in which he is a major contender, and the person who failed to accept the outcome of an election simply because he lost. They are not the best the country can afford. I want to suggest the proscription of Nigeria Governors’ Forum for it is of no value to an ordinary Nigerian. The forum is self-serving and their ongoing fight is over the nation’s money. Enough of all these distractions.
