Governor Otti Approves N250,000 Monthly Stipend for Abia Traditional Rulers
Abia State Governor Alex Otti has approved a new monthly stipend of N250,000 for the traditional rulers in the state.
This announcement was made by Eze Linus Nto Mba, Chairman of the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, in a heartfelt message of appreciation to the governor.
Eze Mba, speaking on behalf of the council’s principal officers and members, revealed that the payment of this monthly stipend will commence in December 2024.
He further clarified that this initiative is separate from the N150,000 Christmas package recently approved by Governor Otti for over 500 traditional rulers across Abia State.
Eze Mba also noted that while all traditional rulers in Abia will benefit from the N250,000 monthly allowance, those in Aba South will receive a different amount.
He praised Governor Otti for the unprecedented respect and support shown to the traditional institution, contrasting it with past administrations that, according to him, failed to accord monarchs similar recognition.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
The All Progressives Congress Lagos State chapter has released the names of its candidates for the House of Representatives in the 2027 elections.
The winners of Ikeja, Agege, and Ikorodu federal constituencies are James Abiodun Faleke (Ikeja Federal Constituency), Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa (Agege Federal Constituency), and Babajimi Benson (Ikorodu Federal Constituency).
Others include Muftau Egberongbe (Apapa), Moses Olanrewaju (Amuwo-Odofin), Adeyemi Alli (Mushin I), Moses Oluwatosin Fayinka (Mushin II), and Fuad Kayode Laguda (Surulere I).
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
