Former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has mocked the travails of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) comptroller-general Hameed Ali at the Nigerian Senate.

Fani-Kayode tweeted on Sunday that Ali was arrogant to have ignored the Senate’s order to appear before lawmakers in Customs uniform for a briefing on a controversial policy on payment of duties for old vehicles.

The former media director of the Goodluck Jonathan presidential campaign organisation in 2015 said Ali should have done exactly as the Senate order.

It can be recalled that the Senate sent Customs boss Hameed Ali out of the upper house of legislature’s chamber, after asking him to go and re-appear before it on Wednesday, March 22 in his uniform as Comptroller-General of the body.

The Senate had earlier admitted Ali into the upper house of legislature’s chambers on Thursday, March 16 and questioned him on why he has been defying its directive to dress properly for his appearance.

The first phase of a 10,800-bed hostel project at the Lagos State University (LASU) is now ready for inauguration, according to Tokunbo Wahab, former special adviser to the governor on education.

Wahab, who is now commissioner for environment and water resources in Lagos, describes the project as ambitious and transformative.

“ It remains one of the most ambitious and transformative projects undertaken during my time as the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education,” he wrote on X.

“It was executed through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) arrangement which involves seven reputable investors.”

Wahab commended Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor, for his leadership and continuous support.

“Proud of the work done here and to have been a part of this special one,” he added.

“Through the grace of God and the unwavering support and the dedication of the Lagos State Office of Public-Private Partnerships, the relentless efforts of the management staff of LASU, led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, and the cooperation of other key stakeholders, the first phase of this landmark project has now been completed.”

Wahab emphasized that the project showcases the state government’s commitment to leveraging public-private partnerships to address critical infrastructure needs in the education sector.
