Lagos State Government Closes Lateef Jakande Road for 12days

The Lagos State Government says Lateef Jakande Road by WEMPCO Road junction is to be closed to traffic from the night of Friday, March 28 to Wednesday, April 9, 2014.

The government explained that the closure was to enable the contractor constructing the underground drainage project in the area to cross the road from WEMPCO Road into Omole Gorge where the drainage would discharge.

A statement by the External Relations Specialist, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Kolawole Ojelabi, further explained that the drainage, when completed, would collect flood water and other waste water

coming from Agege, Ogba and environs and prevent flooding usually experienced in the areas.

The statement added, “The project would also complement WEMPCO Road currently being rehabilitated.

“Motorists from the Ikeja, Alausa area, going to Pen Cinema will not be affected as ACME and WEMPCO roads will still be opened for use.

“However, motorists going to Ogunnusi Road, Ojodu Berger and Omole Phase 1 would have to connect Ogunnusi Road via Abiodun Jagun or use Lagos Ibadan Expressway.

“Motorists from Ojodu, Omole going to Ikeja or Lateef Jakande Road should use alternative roads as provided.”

The statement urged motorists to watch out for road diversion signs and cooperate with traffic management officials as congestion was expected.

It also advised road users to exercise restraints and maintain lane discipline, adding that  LAMATA would work with the contractor to complete the job on time.

(The average net profit across all industries for this report's time period was 7.2 percent.) What makes these industries profitable?

This is generally due to lower overhead and startup costs. A lot of these industries you can start from your house.” Whil

‘Ignored smallholder farmers account for 80% of Africa’s agric production’

Worried by the inconsistency in the continent’s agricultural practice, especially in relation to investment in large-scale commercial farms, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Anan and other stakeholders have decried neglect of smallholder farmers, stating that more than 80 per cent of African agricultural production come from them. According to the stakeholders, Africa’s smallholders are more than capable of feeding the continent—so long as they boost their yields by using the latest agronomic practices in combination with appropriately adapted seeds and fertilizer. Although investors in Nigeria’s agricultural value-chain may have found appeal in out-grower schemes, the stakeholders noted that allocating large blocks of land to foreign investors, reserving water for industrial-sized operations, and concentrating research and development on a few cash crops doesn’t help most farmers. Similarly, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has ide
