    Afriland Properties Calls for Lagos Waterfronts Protection

    Yusuf Ebiti

    Afriland Properties Plc has congratulated the Lagos State Government, on the successful hosting of the inaugural Lagos Waterfront Summit, organised by the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development.

    Speaking at the summit, the MD/CEO of Afriland Properties Plc, Azubike Emodi, described the initiative as both timely and critical to the sustainable future of Lagos.

    According to him,  the waterways play a pivotal role in sustaining property values, enabling recreation and tourism, and creating opportunities for waterfront living.

    Emodi said: “When properly managed, Lagos’ waterfronts open doors to innovation and growth. But when abused through illegal dredging and neglect, they threaten not just the environment but the future of sustainable urban development.”

    He said Afriland Properties Plc had played a defining role in shaping the Lagos real estate landscape with notable commercial and residential developments.

     He explained that from redefining urban living to creating thriving business spaces, Afriland has consistently shown that real estate goes beyond structures, it is about building sustainable communities.

    “As a company, we are deeply invested in the sustainable growth of Lagos. Protecting the waterfront is both an environmental and economic imperative. “Afriland is committed to partnering with government, communities, and stakeholders to ensure that our waterfronts remain engines of growth, resilience, and pride for generations to come,” he added.

    The Afriland chief executive also urged all stakeholders to tow the same line and seize the momentum of this summit to drive lasting policies and collective action that will safeguard Lagos’ waterfronts.

    PAP Seeks NCC’s Partnership on Empowerment

    PAP Seeks NCC’s Partnership on Empowerment

    The Administrator, Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro,  has sought the partnership of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on engagement opportunities for some ex-agitators and beneficiaries of the programme.

    Otuaro, who spoke  during a courtesy visit to the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the NCC in Abuja, Dr Aminu Maida,  explained that  the commission’s support would bolster the PAP’s post-training empowerment scheme.

    He said  there are ex-agitators and beneficiaries of the programme with the requisite qualifications and skills that the commission can employ and enable them to contribute to national growth and development.

    According to him, there are many of them who had successfully completed their formal educational and vocational trainings in relevant fields as part of the PAP’s effort at human capacity development.

    He described them as potential human resources that can be harnessed for the socio-economic advancement of the Niger Delta and indeed the country.

    Otuaro said: “We are on a mission to seek support and collaboration with government agencies like the NCC to see how some of them can be engaged so that they can contribute their quota to national development.

    “The whole scope of the programme centres on national and human security where the beneficiaries are trained in formal education and vocational skills, including information technology. Many persons have been trained in various professional fields.

    “So far, we have over 18000 persons that have been trained. These are potential human resources that should be harnessed for national development. By the design of the programme, we have the post-training, employment and empowerment component.

    “So we have an army of human resources that will contribute to national growth when engaged. We also have persons with doctors of philosophy (PhDs) that can be easily engaged, and that is the essence of the human capacity development that we carry out.”

    In his remarks, the NCC boss, Aminu Maida, expressed the commission’s commitment to providing support and equal opportunities to people without bias, stressing that there should also be evidence of value from interventions.

    Maida said the commission was poised to carry out its mandate as a regulatory agency while ensuring access to digital connectivity by all citizens.

    He, however, called for infrastructure security against vandalism to protect digital assets and sustain digital connectivity across the country.
