Tinubu Postpones Executive Meeting to Honor Late Army Chief Lt. Gen. Lagbaja
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has announced the postponement of the Federal Executive Council meeting that was originally scheduled for today.
The meeting will be rescheduled for a later date, which will be communicated to the public in due course.
This decision comes as a mark of respect and tribute to the late Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, who sadly passed away on the night of Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
General Lagbaja has been serving the nation with unwavering dedication since he was appointed Chief of Army Staff on June 19, 2023.
His sudden death has left a profound impact on the Nigerian military and the entire nation.
His leadership, commitment, and exceptional service to the country, particularly in enhancing national security, will be remembered by both his colleagues and the public.
In honour of the fallen General, President Tinubu has also directed that the national flag be flown at half-staff across the country for the next seven days.
Earlier today, President Tinubu, alongside top officials, extended his deepest condolences to the family of the late General Lagbaja, as well as to the Nigerian Armed Forces.
In the message, President Tinubu described General Lagbaja as a remarkable leader whose efforts in strengthening the nation’s military and security framework will not be forgotten.
He prayed for eternal peace for the late General, acknowledging the invaluable role he played in the advancement of Nigeria’s defence and security systems.
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.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
