Sanwo-Olu Urges Lagos Youths to Join Nigerian Army and Build Their Future
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged young people across the state to take advantage of the ongoing Nigerian Army recruitment exercise..
In a statement released by Olumuyiwa Ojelabi from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, the governor announced that registration for the 89 Regular Recruits Intake for both trades and non-trades roles will end on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, at a stakeholder event held at the Olofin of Isheri Olofin’s palace, Sanwo-Olu encouraged eligible youths to step forward and consider the Army as a viable career path.
He said it’s time to change the outdated views about military life, explaining that the modern Nigerian Army offers more than just combat roles. “There are now strong opportunities in tech, education, and personal growth,” Salu-Hundeyin said. The event brought together community leaders, religious heads, youths, parents, and artisans to spread awareness about the benefits of joining the Army.
Sanwo-Olu added that serving in the military allows one to contribute meaningfully to the country while gaining access to professional training in fields like law, medicine, and aviation. He also restated the government’s commitment to supporting qualified applicants from Lagos as they pursue careers in the armed forces.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
