Ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations, and based on the security alert by the United States Embassy and the United Kingdom, the Luxury Bus Owners Association of Nigeria has advised the bus operators to maintain high level of security consciousness during and after the yuletide, especially in Abuja and other states.
In a statement by the President of the association, Emeka Mamah, the association also advised bus passengers to remain vigilant and cooperate with the various bus companies towards ensuring the safety of lives and properties at the various motor parks.
The association advised bus passengers to report any suspicious movements or characters to the law enforcement agencies.
He said the association will liaise with the Nigerian Police and various security agencies to ensure the protection of lives and properties, and reassured all bus travellers that their comfort and safety remained the association’s top priority.
The association appealed to the Lagos State government to revisit the policy of relocating luxury bus companies from their loading points.
According to the association, the affected companies had built their Jibowu loading points from bank loans, and the policy of clustering them in a particular place will not only hurt their businesses but jeopardise the repayment of the bank loans.

AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...

Fresh Atiku posters flood Abuja with ‘strange’ inscriptions [PHOTO]

Fresh posters of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, with the inscriptions: ‘The real and the right’ yesterday surfaced in the streets of Abuja. The posters, which also bore ‘Pukka’ a Hindi word, which literally means ‘Genuine’ emerged after a report on how Atiku allegedly enlisted the assistance of two cerebral lawyers in Washington DC, United States of America to lobby the American government for recognition as winner of the last presidential election. Many of the posters were seen in the Central Business District within the Abuja city centre. Recall that Lauretta Onochie, the presidential aide on social media, had said she returned to Abuja on Tuesday to see Atiku’s photographs   with treasonable inscriptions. She counseled the former vice president to pursue his election petition at the Tribunal rather than commit to actions that may land him in jail for treason. However, DAILY POST findings indicate that the poste...
