Lagos State Government goes tough on street trading, hawking
Lagos goes tough on street trading, hawking
…Says buyers, sellers liable to N90,000 fine, six months jail term or both
…Urges unemployed youths to access N25bn ETF
The Lagos State Government on Friday said that from July 1, 2016, it would commence a total enforcement against street trading and street hawkers, saying that the law banning their activities across the metropolis would take its full course.
Speaking at a live interview session on Television Continental, the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode said that the renewed enforcement is in line with Section One of the Lagos State Street Trading and Illegal Market Prohibition Law 2003 which restricts street trading and hawking in the metropolis.
The Governor, while sympathizing with the family of a street hawker who was knocked down by an articulated truck while trying to evade arrest from officials of Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) along Maryland Bus stop on Wednesday, regretted that the situation led to the destruction of public assets.
“It is not in our DNA to allow someone to just die by road accident or the way it happened in respect of the incident. But beyond the fact that we lost one person while crossing the road as a result of evading arrest by KAI officials, I need to tell Lagosians that over 49 buses were actually destroyed and it is costing us like almost N139 million to put those buses back on the road,” he said.

I’ll name my cabinet this month – President Buhari assures
After I was sworn-in, I said I will have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so
President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Aburi, Ghana reassured Nigerians and the international community that he will name his cabinet before the end of the month.
President Buhari gave the assurance at a joint press conference with President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana.
“After I was sworn-in, I said I will have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so,” President Buhari said while responding to a question on the appointment of ministers.
President Buhari also told reporters that the Nigerian military, in close collaboration with the Multi-National Joint Task Force, has recorded remarkable progress in the fight against Boko Haram since he assumed office as President.
“The first thing I did after I came into office was to reorganize the military and clear orders were given to them in terms of retraining, re-equipping and redeployment of troops.
“In the northeast, the military is gaining ground and Boko Haram has been limited to the Sambisa forest.
“Internally Displaced Persons are gradually moving back home and they are being reintegrated into their respective communities,” President Buhari said.
On the declaration of assets, the President affirmed that it was a constitutional requirement that all public office holders in Nigeria should declare their assets before and after their term in office.
“I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up – governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council. Officials of Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.
“All Heads of States and Government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.
“I have declared my assets four times. When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being Minister of Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was Head of State and now as a President, I have also declared.
Earlier, President Mahama said both leaders had fruitful discussions on how to enhance bilateral relations and improve regional security.
President Mahama said that Nigeria and Ghana will soon begin the process of reviving their joint commission for cooperation.
The Ghanaian President added that both leaders also agreed to encourage closer cooperation between the intelligence and anti-graft agencies of both countries.
He thanked President Buhari for his visit and assured him of Ghana’s support and cooperation with Nigeria in the fight against terrorism.

INTERVIEW: Everything about me is MUSIC – Anthonia Shodunke a.k.a ‘TONIA
Enjoy the yuletide season to the fullest, but just like my song #AfricanChristmas says; Let’s share the LOVE, let’s spread the GOODNEWS, Jesus Christ is the reason for the season; we must never forget that.
Q: PLEASE CAN WE MEET YOU?
My name is Anthonia Shodunke but popularly known on stage and otherwise as ‘TONIA.
Q: HOW DID YOU COME INTO THE MUSIC MINISTRY?
Well, I would say music has always been me! Everything about me is MUSIC. Right from a very tender age, I have always loved to sing and I derive so much pleasure from it. I used to accompany my elder sisters then to choir rehearsals and it was on one of such occasions that the choir leader, then, Mr Armstrong Ileti, walked by me while a song was being taught and I was singing. All of a sudden he stopped and was listening. Suspecting he was listening to me, I froze and stopped singing!lol. (he may not even remember this incidence) But, I remember he said “No, no, no…go on singing” #reflectivesmile…. . and just as I did, without a word, he walked away, picked up a microphone and handed it over to me; saying ” you have a very beautiful voice”!! Lol. That was it; from that day I became one of the lead singers! Since then I’ve been schooled and trained, I started writing songs, and…..here I am! Lol
Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOUR TWO RECENT SONGS: MADUPE AND AFRICAN CHRISTMAS?
It’s Christmas Time… this song sets the Christmas mood right and ushers us into the Christmas season
