The Federal Government and the Lagos State Government have agreed to pull down two bridges in Lagos located at Jibowu and Costain as part of efforts to address challenges facing the ongoing construction of a new Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line. The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, announced this in Lagos on Tuesday, adding that the worst challenges of the new rail project were located in Lagos State. Amaechi had announced the intention of the contractor, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, to demolish the two bridges to give way to the new rail line.

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the party must not derail in its all-inclusive policy of internal democracy. Tinubu said this while reacting to comments credited to Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, who criticised his opposition to an automatic ticket for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. The APC leader had said if Buhari decides to re-contest, there would be no automatic ticket for him but Okorocha accused Tinubu of “ crying more than the bereaved.” However, the APC leader said he never underrated the importance of governors in the party’s nomination process. He said contrary to Okorocha’s claims, he only said the APC should not mimic the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) “penchant for short-circuiting internal democracy” by promoting the idea of an automatic ticket. “Asiwaju (Tinubu) never said anything that could be interpreted as meaning or even implying the governors are irrelevant or insignifi...

The French government is to ban students from using mobile phones in the country’s primary, junior and middle schools. Children will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave, even during breaks. A proposed ban was included in Emmanuel Macron’s successful presidential election campaign this year. Jean-Michel Blanquer, the French education minister, said the measure would come into effect from the start of the next school year in September 2018. It will apply to all pupils from the time they start school at age of six – up to about15 when they start secondary school. Blanquer said some education establishments already prohibited pupils from using their mobiles. “Sometimes you need a mobile for teaching reasons … for urgent situations, but their use has to be somehow controlled,” he told RTL radio The minister said the ban was also a “public health message to families”, adding: “It’s goo...
