ENGAGEMENT With Chidi Amuta
In a little over two years, the curtain will close on the Buhari presidency. Of the time left, the final one year will be spent in the drama of political succession. In the festival tradition of our politics, little or no governance takes place in the year preceding the exit of the incumbent. It is a year for the pageant of promises, the displays of thuggish mobs, the frenzied clash of monumental ambitions and the stoking of hopes. Technically, therefore, Mr. Buhari is now left with a little over one year to fulfill all the promises he made us on the eve of his ascendancy in 2015.

In its bid to complement classroom teaching, a non-governmental organisation, Teach for Nigeria, has unveiled a radio programme for nursery and primary school students in Ogun State.
The Chief Executive Officer of the NGO, Miss Folawe Omikunle, at a virtual inauguration of the radio programme, said this was to ensure that learning continued for students within underserved communities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The school radio station is an alternative and a new learning method designed to create interactive educational content.
“The interactive education content would be done via radio and print materials for marginalised students, who live in communities without access to technology and connectivity,’’ she said.

NUKUALOFA, Tonga (Radio Tonga News, May 29, 2008) - The Ministry of Fisheries is getting help to develop Tonga s natural resources, mainly oysters.
A hatchery production program for pearls is underway, focusing on the Terrier Penguin species, which is used to make the half pearl.
Two consultants from Australia are in the Kingdom under the Hatchery production program which is sponsored by ACR - The Australian Center for International Agricultural Research, in collaboration with James Cook University and Tonga s Ministry of Fisheries.
One of the consultants, Andrew Beer says fishermen and farmers are collecting wild babies using spack collectors for the pearl farm, but this is made difficult by the inconsistent supply.
