LAGOS HAS NO HAND IN DEMOLITION OF POWA COMPLEX
Lagos State Government has nothing to do with the demolition at Computer Village in Ikeja. The structure is owned by the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), which ordered its demolition.
Those circulating the fake news…
LASG has noted the protests against the reported highhandedness of the men of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS). We know how painful it is to be victims of police brutality. It is not good. The message of the protests is clear - such acts of brutality must stop. We agree.
Alimosho General Hospital on Friday 31st, March 2023 launched Automated Queuing Machine to effectively control overcrowding at service point, enhance transparency, standardise patients waiting time, among others.
