ITF Denies Plans to Relocate Headquarters from Jos

The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has dismissed claims that it intends to move its headquarters out of Jos, Plateau State. In a statement issued on Friday, ITF’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Thomas Ngor, said the agency’s attention was drawn to reports alleging plans for relocation — concerns recently raised by Plateau lawmaker Prof. Theodore Maiyaki during a state assembly plenary. Ngor clarified that relocating a federal agency involves formal processes, none of which have been initiated by the ITF, its Governing Council, or its supervising body, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment. “The ITF has no intention of moving from Jos. Our commitment to industrial and economic growth in Plateau State and Nigeria remains strong, with Jos as the hub of our operations,” he said. He noted that the Fund has been headquartered in Jos […]

Nigerian singer-songwriter Foelyjoe (Ayetiran Folagbade Oluwasegun) has dropped his new single ‘Blow Them’, a vibrant mix of Afrobeat, street-hop, and Yoruba influences.

Residents Slam FG, Gov Radda Over Collapsing Katsina Highway

People living along the Mararrabar Kankara–Dutsinma–Katsina highway are angry with the federal government, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, and Minister of Works David Umahi for letting the road fall into terrible shape. The highway is one of the busiest in Katsina, linking many towns to the state capital. It used to be important for farmers, traders, and travellers, but now it is full of big potholes, broken edges, and damaged drains. Residents say things got worse after the government stopped repair work by a local company, Vipan Global Investment Resources. They believe the work stopped because of politics, as the contractor is said to be linked to the opposition. Now, with heavy rains, the road is almost impossible to use. Drivers take long detours, spend more on fuel, and face constant breakdowns. Accidents are common, and security problems in the area […]

Comfort Emmanson: Airlines Lift Lifetime Ban, List Behaviours Considered ‘Unruly’

The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has lifted the lifetime ban placed on Comfort Emmanson after her clash with Ibom Air crew members, but also released a list of actions it considers unacceptable on flights. AON spokesperson Prof. Obiora Okonkwo said in a Thursday statement that the decision followed the intervention of Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo, who appealed for leniency. Emmanson’s charges were dropped after she reportedly showed remorse, and Ibom Air withdrew its complaint.
