Mr. Godwin Obaseki, Governor of Edo State, has announced that his administration has made 35,000 hectares of land available for housing and industrial development projects in various towns and cities across the state.
Obaseki made the remarks during a courtesy visit to the Government House in Benin City with executive members of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers led by its President, Johnbull Amayaevbo.
The governor praised the group for respecting the profession’s ethics and stated that his administration would continue to work with the NIESV to clean up the built environment.
He said, “We are making available about 35,000 hectares of land for housing and industrial development in several cities in the state. It will be done in partnership with communities, as we are not dispossessing anyone of their land. The Land Use Act is clear. All the communities will be carried along and made to understand what we are doing.

“We are planning new towns and developing and opening up industrial estates for production. We need professional support to help us obtain the manpower we need to do these things properly. We will need a lot of support from the institution and its professional members. We will collaborate to run training to build human capacity that will contribute effectively to this vision.”....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Hailing the elevation of Amayaevbo as the president of NIESV, the governor said his emergence as the first Benin man to occupy the seat was apt and timely, adding, “You came at a very critical time as we face challenges amid the reforms we are undertaking to reposition and change the narrative in the building space. We are not afraid of challenges, especially embracing our reforms that will benefit Edo people.”

On his part, the NIESV president, Amayaevbo commended the governor for his bold and pragmatic reforms aimed at making the state an investment destination.

Sheikh Jingir had previously advocated for the retention of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections, arguing that it serves to demonstrate demographic weight.

Kwankwaso’s Response

In a statement issued on Monday, Kwankwaso expressed deep concern over the cleric’s remarks, stating that such rhetoric threatens national unity and cohesion.

  • Call for Unity: He emphasized that religious and political leaders have a responsibility to foster reconciliation and avoid statements that could deepen societal divisions.

  • Stance of Kano Residents: Kwankwaso explicitly distanced the population of Kano from the cleric’s comments, asserting that they do not reflect the views of the state’s citizens.

  • Outlook on 2027: Looking ahead to the upcoming general elections, he stated that voters will have the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the current administration at the ballot box.

Total War In Football: UEFA, AFC, And Concacaf Unleash Blistering ‘Deception’ Attack On FIFA!.

Published

In a joint open letter released on August 10, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and Concacaf launched a scathing critique against FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, accusing them of breaking the trust of football institutions through deception.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Core Dispute: The FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE)

The controversy centers around FIFA’s abandoned FFE proposal, which aimed to establish a new company to manage the commercial and ticketing rights of FIFA competitions—including the World Cup—with a 21 percent stake intended for sale to a private investment firm. The plan was ultimately scrapped following heavy backlash and boycott threats led by UEFA.

While FIFA previously defended itself by condemning efforts to “undermine” leadership and announced an internal review to report to the FIFA Council in October, the three confederations rejected this approach. They argued that proper governance demands an independent third-party investigation rather than a self-review by FIFA staff or stakeholders.

Governance and Lack of Consultation

The three bodies emphasized that the dispute is not financially motivated, but rather concerns institutional integrity, power execution, and stakeholder consultation. They criticized FIFA for pushing the FFE proposal through a compressed timeline designed to avoid proper scrutiny, pointing out that a leadership meeting in Morocco regarding the matter lacked participation from Member Associations or FIFA Council members, featuring only FIFA-employed senior staff.

Concluding their letter with a call for accountability, the confederations urged the global football community to honor unity and demand leadership that serves the game rather than commanding it.
