By Chico Mies Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State, has formally accepted an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as confirmed by his media office on Wednesday, following consultations with family members, legal advisors, and political associates. According to a statement issued by Ohiare Michael, Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, the former governor's decision to appear before the anti-corruption agency underscores his commitment to transparency. Bello faces 19 charges related to money laundering amounting to N80.2 billion. Notably, he has sought to enforce his fundamental rights to ensure due process. The former governor has expressed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration and its anti-corruption initiatives. EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede had previously pledged to resign if Bello was not prosecuted, reaffirming the commission's commitment to pursuing the case to its logical conclusion.

Every year, when there is a flood alert, the government spends millions clearing waterways within Yenagoa Metropolis, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
When we can do something much better, why spend a lot of money on temporary and short-term flood mitigation initiatives? Getting an annual contract to clear canals brings joy to someone I suppose.
Although I'm not a civil engineer, I can advise the government on the most technically sound course of action to minimize the amount of tax dollars wasted on improving Yenagoa's canals.
We should approach problems with creativity. In this digital age of the twenty-first century, people must adopt global best practices instead of sticking to outdated analogue methods.
Please, use our money to duplicate what you see when you visit Korea, the UK, and Dubai.
