Desmond Majekodunmi Flag off SAVE LEKKI COAST CAMPAIGN

DESMOND MAJEKODUNMI

World renowned environmental protectionist and creation carer, Desmond Majekodunmi, has launched a massive media campaign to rescue the coasts of Lekki Peninsula from the damaging scourge of erosion which has left a part of the coast gravely dilapidated, with hundreds of palm trees lost, and a coastline community at the brink of losing their homes.

The campaign rally began from the Lekki Conservation Center on Saturday 29^th of April, with a brief, but very clear statement of intent, after which the horde of press men and women from diverse media houses across board were ferried to the sites of this erosion for firsthand experience.

The Apese community located at the barb-wire area, East-end of Alfa Beach was worse hit by this scourge as the sea had taken about 1.5km of their land, leaving them with less than 30m to the ocean line.

 At the moment thousands of sand bags are being used by the villagers to combat the erosion but these are only temporary measures as huge ocean surge can easily wear them off.

According to Desmond Majekodunmi, what is needed to salvage the situation is the construction of more sea groins, which he said will cost hundreds of millions. “The situation is dire and calls for Federal government attention because it is in their jurisdiction.” He said.  He also commended the effort of the Lagos state government whom he acknowledges to have spent hundreds of millions of Naira in fighting this scourge.

The first African-American woman to be appointed to the New York State Court of Appeals, Sheila Abdus-Salaam, was found dead, floating on the shore of New York’s Hudson River on Wednesday.

Sheila and her husband, Gregory Jacobs

A graduate of Barnard College who received her J.D. from the Columbia University Law School, Abdus-Salaam, 65, grew up in a poor family of seven children in Washington, D.C. She said she was inspired to go into the legal field by watching episodes of “Perry Mason” on television as a child. She was first appointed to the appellate court by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2013. Before that, she served on Manhattan Supreme Court for 14 years and had been an attorney with the New York City Law Department and the city Office of Labor Services.

In addition to being the first Black female appellate judge in New York state, she was also America’s first female Muslim judge.

 The judge’s body was discovered fully clothed by witnesses on the Upper Manhattan side of the river just before 2 p.m., just about a mile from her home in Harlem. Her husband had reported her missing earlier in the day and was brought in to identify her

LAGOS LAUNCHES FIRST ONLINE PLATFORM TO INTERACT WITH CITIZENS

Story Source: Lagos State Govt. 

The Lagos State Government on Thursday launched a mobile app to facilitate interaction and provision of services between government and the citizens from the comfort of their homes and offices without necessarily paying a visit to government establishments where such services are being provided.

The mobile app, otherwise known as Citizens Gate under the Citizens Relations Management (CRM) initiative, is the first of its kind in Nigeria, and would avail residents of the State the opportunity to make enquiry and suggestions on government services and getting faster responses.

Addressing a joint press briefing at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, the State’s Commissioner for Science and Technology, Mr. Olufemi Odubiyi, said the launch of the web platform was another initiative of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration aimed at bringing government closer to the people. 

Odubiyi, who addressed the briefing alongside the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde and the Director General of Lagos State Office of Transformation, Creativity and Innovation, Mr. Toba Otusanya, described the Citizens Gate as an intuitive-based technology innovation designed to manage relationship between the citizens and government.

He said: “The Citizens Gate is an integrated web and mobile-based platform through which Lagos State’s citizens can lodge feedback to the State Government on various services provided, receive quick responses on services as well as interact with government officials via web and mobile phone.

“The platform is designed to promote communication and connectivity between citizens and government while it will also enable citizens to inform the government on problems and issues occurring in their areas, communities and beyond.”

The Commissioner added that the platform would also afford citizens the opportunity to enquire about government services while also providing an avenue to make suggestions on government services for better confidence and trust in the present administration led by Governor Ambode.

According to Odubiyi, the platform can be accessed via citizensgate.lagosstate.gov.ng and a downloadable mobile app from Google play store and Apple store both on Android and iOS, while the platform would enable government to acknowledge problems and issues which would be investigated, worked on and resolved efficiently and timely.

He said apart from the fact that the development would improve the State budget thus making planning a lot easier and preventing waste and encouraging savings that will aid in provision of more services and development, the platform would further help government to determine which programme of the State is working and whether to replace or improve on any programme for efficient and effective service delivery to the people.

In his remarks, Otusanya said the platform has been designed initially to accommodate 22 MDAs of government and same will be scaled up to cover all MDAs in the near future.

He said government officials have been trained to be in charge of the platform in all the initial MDAs, while citizens with no access to internet can call the Command Centre on 767 and a ticket will be issued instantly on their behalf.
