Name Akure airport after Agagu, repair Angle 80-Amedokhian/ Uromi road, Reps tell FG
On
By Levinus Nwabughiogu-Abuja
House of Representatives, Thursday, urged the federal government to name Akure airport after late Dr Olesegun Agagu in recognition of his selfless service to the nation, most especially in the aviation industry.
The House also called on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to embark on repairs of the one-kilometre stretch of Angle 80-Amedokhian Road around the National Institute of Construction Technology and Management (NICT) Uromi in Edo State.
The call followed two separate motions considered at the plenary.

I was privileged to know that Sunday, March 28, was going to be the 57th birthday of the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem IkanadeAgba. I had, therefore, closed in on him to learn about what he had in the offing. The status of minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria offers an opportunity to “make some noise” and give some pointers to the next political move. So, I thought.
Disappointingly, as the day approached, I learned that he had no such plan. For him, as I got to learn, while there had been so much to celebrate, personally, the enormity of some presidential tasks had consumed his attention, such that it was difficult for close associates and aides to get to pull off a “birthday coup”, which was being contemplated for Monday, March 29, 2021, in Abuja.
