Amosun to demolish Kara market for modern city.

gun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Monday said his administration has concluded plans to develop a modern city, to be known as MITROS City, at Isheri, Ifo Local Government Area, where Kara market is located, through the public-private partnership.

He said this in his Oke Mosan office while receiving representatives of the private real estate firm, UBA Construction Consortium, which won the concession for the project.

Both parties later signed a concession agreement on the project.

Amosun, who said the city would occupy 2,000 hectares of land in and around the popular Kara market, added that the project was part of the administration’s housing and urban renewal programme.

He said plans were almost completed on the relocation of the cattle sellers and other traders  in Kara market including other settlers in that axis.

He said, “We set up a committee which include traders from the market and we agreed to relocate them. Before we move them, we want to ensure that the place we are relocating them is comfortably enough for them.”

The governor who was represented by the secretary to the state government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, said his administration was committed to the project.

He said, “The MITROS City will be a place where people can live and work in a clean and healthy environment. There are many companies with their factories in Ogun state, there must be a decent accommodation for their workers.”

The chairman, UBA Construction Consortium, Mr. Adeniyi Oyedele, said the company decided to key into the housing and urban renewal programme of the government, which he noted has been phenomenal in the last three and half years.

While he said the project would be delivered in five years, he said the company had finalised arrangements with its technical and financial partners.

Oyedele noted that it was not easy getting the bid for the project, as it took two years of rigorous work and waiting before the state executive council finally approved it.punch ng.

"LIFE" This life is a lesson for those who understand it. To climb the ladder of this life and to get to the top is not an easy tax,when you get there,to retained that top position is not as easy as you climb to that top. It can take 2 to 3yrs for somebody to overcome his predicament, downfall of a man is not the end of his life. Life is up and down.no permanent place for human beings on this earth,that's why we see young boy of yesterday speed over the older ones. there was a time money was coming into my hand,they gave me the respect and the honour that I deserved,once u lack,they will rant,shout at you talk back at you look u down nearly ask u to come and clean their sheet even ask you to go to hell, to the extend of asking you to life their home. They will remind you what they did for you at the past,if at all you never ask them to flashback. If at all from nothing you still find means to make them happy. In did life is a teacher.

Why Obama won’t give the Ferguson speech his supporters want

President Obama's statement, delivered moments after St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch rendered the grand jury's verdict , was a plea for calm. It was steady and evenhanded. Obama recognized the fear and anger of both sides. He called for calm. He argued that the two sides here were, in a sense, one. "Nobody needs good policing more than poor communities with high crime rates," he said. And, in doing, he disappointed many who had hoped to hear something more impassioned, more outraged, from the president:

I'm Gay I proud of it. Apple boss

Throughout my professional life, I’ve tried to maintain a basic level of privacy. I come from humble roots, and I don’t seek to draw attention to myself. Apple is already one of the most closely watched companies in the world, and I like keeping the focus on our products and the incredible things our customers achieve with them. At the same time, I believe deeply in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” I often challenge myself with that question, and I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today. For years, I’ve been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know I’m gay, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference in the way they treat me. Of course, I...
