leaves enough. bayx something is going on, something is wrong and I know when they are happy times it's just blooming so the plants actually works with you for you interesting you learn everyday what did you find for us in the years so my what's in the news today is the story of the federal government approving 23 billion for third mainland bridge maintenance the federal government on Wednesday approved the sum of 23.33 billion for surface maintenance of the third mainland bridge leg of state as well as augmentation of the contract sum of the old Enugu Annambra road project so the minister of walks and housing Babatunde Fashola who briefed state house correspondence after this week's federal executive council meeting at the presidential villa said the 24 month repair would cover 11 kilometers including interchanges, ramps and critical links he said the move aligns with executive order 11 signed by the president major general Mohammed Buhari retired in April 2022 who gave legal back into the country's national maintenance policy so I think earlier on it was the last time I think it was 6.0 billion I don't even know why this is happening again do we now maintain the bridges every year I'm sorry to say the reason why this is my concern is because I applied the third mainland bridge quite regularly and even during the time I've been a first time viewer, I've been right there to see the kind of work that was done and how long it took them to do the work and it's been shabby all the time is the process still on or are they done and then you find out okay they are done and you are wondering the links have been going out of place for a long time it seems like every time they just bring it slightly closer but it's never like you never see the full job done all the job on the bridge is half and half it's half hazard, very half hazard there's some potholes on one side do they accept to do the contract in patches because maintenance to me is running another level whole entire layer of cement, gravel on the whole road so when the federal government says okay we are maintaining this road after or the bridge and after that whole 24 months what have you that everyone has suffered because around that time I think I used to leave I would leave the office like 6 I wouldn't get home until after midnight and I have to be at work the next morning and you have to apply the same traffic and there's only one other alternative route which is the sewer layer yeah that's the only other route so it puts the country in a very bad situation it's crazy funny enough the citizens are basically suffering at the end of the day to be honest you know how many, how bad that road is that in the middle of the night if you're not convinced with where the pothole is your car is either you have an accident or your car is going to be anyway actually there's this part just when you're approaching like if you're going to the mainland just before you approach it's in my head now so I know that I just know to stay on this side of the road that the other two lanes are messed up I really do hope that this time around because I think to the third million particularly is 6 billion or 6.7 billion allocated to that the rest of it is yes for all the other N1 number routes and all of that I just hope that you do a great job again Mary what do you find for us okay so today my story is about the building in Banana Island collapsed and last time at the Lagos States Emergency Management Agency has reported that the six-story building collapsed that occurred at First Avenue, Banana Island on Wednesday April 12, 2023 was as a result of a truck that ran into the building I also have some troops that was said from a renowned architect which is Jumoke Adenowo and she has five troops to say about this she says the first one is the second as to how to hire good professionals exactly the way you hire a good neurosurgeon referrals not trials referrals the third one she says is instead they see buildings they like and ask the architect to copy the buildings sadly many professionals promise and do not deliver in the end so above is key the agency's tax which regulating issues of construction safety obviously needs to step up and she says on this collapse the narrative is that a cement truck run into a column listen a cement truck running into one column should not bring down a properly designed and executed structure in the manner this one came down tell the story to the marines a residential building should not rest all its food on one singular support this is the beginning of a narrative to generate culpable parties to stop happily nobody was there nobody yes but you know it's just how much money has been how much money has been nobody how much money has been lost lost lost lost but the people on top of that building so even if you wanted to go cheap even if you wanted to go cheap and you spent let me just give everything a hundred and something million everything is gone so why go cheap because eventually you've lost all your money I tell you I have to start again we're going to learn in this country this collapse this building is becoming god that they were no cash because you can only imagine if this building was had people it's called like tremors to the or the buildings around it oh definitely definitely okay hello so my story is the ministry denied request for 21 billion to rehabilitate the national stadium I'm just going to read the summary of the press conference that happened with the minister of sports so the sports and the sports and youth minister mr sunday dairy in an interactive session with the newsmen in Lagos last week only mentioned the figure as one of the estimated amount from the proposal received from the proposal received which indicates that about the sum will be needed to complete the rehabilitation of the projects so the minister as therefore said that he wishes to clarify that no such amount was requested for and no such approval has actually been done as well so they're actually saying that the 21 billionaire that was quoted is wrong so hoping that this is the same thing we're talking about the way you know we're always calling money in this country sounds like the money is like maybe paper one billion 58 billion and at the end of the day when you not get to see the project that was done you just see that it was shabbily done so I mean I'm glad that the minister actually you know cleared the air and we were waiting to see how much it's going to indicate that yeah yeah yeah what are you supposed to have this money right I don't know I don't know I know who is going to pay this money okay so my story the Lagos state government has expressed its pleasure about the gangs of Lagos movie and then it said it's a mockery of our heritage when I saw this I just laughed and I'm like hey why do people just allow this entertainment space to just thrive in peace why do we have to do this have you seen the movie the gang of Lagos movie so in a reaction when I say government the commissioner for tourism arts and culture Mrs. Uzumat Akimbele Yusus said the ministry being the regulatory body and the custodian of the culture of Lagos they view the film or series as a mockery of the heritage of Lagos Melia Prince Uzumat Yusus said a cultural group has condemned the film calling for an immediate withdrawal the claim that is described as a cultural misrepresentation and it is portraying the culture of the state in a derogatory manner what's the culture of the state I think that's because of the whole AO so the AO remember at some point the AO shows and yeah so I think that's why we're having this entire which I feel or rather I believe is very unnecessary thank you and at the end of the day it's not what to say from going on I mean one thing about stories is either it's fictitious or it's real and if they say it's fictitious it is not your story it is their story so how you want to interpret it that's entirely up to you and as matter of fact why are you so bothered at the end of the day do you think that they are trying to say something that you are trying to hide anyway I guess someone would tell the real story regardless of how you try to kill it okay let's come back to the scores let's quickly take a break and when we come back we'll discuss our story today
