X-Kart Race Series Returns with New Team and Fresh Competition
The fourth leg of the X-Kart Race Series in Nigeria is set to return to the Work and Play Arena on Abeokuta Express Way, Ogun State, on Saturday, August 3. A new team, Team Larry, joins the competition, bringing the total to 12 teams for the season.
Larry Bakare, the team captain, is optimistic about their chances, stating, “Our racers are fresh and benefit from incorporating the weaknesses of all the other teams into their game plan. We are better prepared.”
Adeoye Ojuoko, President of Work and Play, expressed enthusiasm about the momentum and growth of the motorsports community. “We started this project out of pure passion to encourage Nigerian youths to express their passion for motorsports,” he said.
Despite Team X’s default in the last race, they still lead with 40 points, while other teams like Team Work and Play and Team Harmony are eager to climb the ranks.
The series features 35-45 lap events held at the Work and Play Race Arena and Smokin Hills Golf Resort Racing tracks in Ilara Mokin, Ondo State.
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.
