FG Tells Nigerians to Leave Lebanon as Conflict Escalates

The Federal Government on Wednesday urged Nigerians living in Lebanon to leave the country immediately, following escalating violence between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
This call came through a statement issued by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), signed by its spokesperson, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.
NIDCOM highlighted the intensifying situation in Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes have targeted Hezbollah-controlled areas in Beirut and southern Lebanon.
Although many Nigerians in Lebanon have already moved away from the high-risk southern region and are reportedly safe, the commission stressed the importance of remaining cautious.
The statement urged Nigerian citizens to stay vigilant until a ceasefire is established.
In the advisory, NIDCOM emphasized that Nigerians still have an opportunity to leave the country while commercial flights are operational.
The commission also advised citizens to maintain close communication with the Nigerian Embassy in Lebanon for guidance and support during this period of instability.
“The safety and well-being of Nigerians in Lebanon is of top priority for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the statement assured.
In recent days, the Israeli military has escalated its offensive in Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah positions.
The conflict has claimed the lives of over 600 people, including the long-time Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The violence has also displaced hundreds of thousands of residents, marking a significant deterioration in the region’s security.
Alongside airstrikes, Israel has launched a ground operation in southern Lebanon, further escalating the conflict and raising concerns for the safety of foreign nationals, including Nigerians.

Sanwo-Olu Promises to Improve Traffic with New AI Powered Technology

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has made it clear that his government will not tolerate any form of assault on officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Speaking through his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at the Second Lagos Traffic Conference on Tuesday, the governor said anyone caught attacking traffic officers will be made to face the law.
The event, held in honour of LASTMA’s 25th anniversary, brought together key stakeholders to reflect on traffic challenges and explore new solutions under the theme: “Enhancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety on Lagos Roads: Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations.”
Sanwo-Olu praised the efforts of LASTMA officers who he said work in tough, often dangerous conditions to keep Lagos roads under control. He acknowledged their sacrifices and dedication, saying their presence is the thin yellow line between traffic order and chaos.
“I truly commend every LASTMA officer for your courage and commitment. You’ve stayed strong even when the job puts you at risk, and that speaks volumes about your dedication,” he said. He also paid respects to officers who died in the line of duty, calling them heroes whose sacrifices would always be remembered.
Looking ahead, Sanwo-Olu shared plans to modernize LASTMA with technology that fits today’s traffic demands. He said the government would increase investment in smart systems such as AI-powered tools, automatic number plate recognition, and drone surveillance. These tools, he explained, will make it easier to monitor traffic in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and improve the overall movement of vehicles across Lagos.
