Governor Dapo Abiodun said the Ogun State roads cannot be completed in the next 20 years.

Abiodun said this on Tuesday while addressing the people of Iberekodo and Arakanga, in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the State.

Gov Abiodun said the condition of the roads in the area made it look like his intervention on roads has not yielded the desired results, stating that even if someone rules the state for 20 years, all the roads cannot be fixed.

However, the governor assured the residents of his determination to complete the roads in the area, which he said was started by the previous administration.

According to him, the road linking Ogun with Oyo State is of utmost priority to his government.

I can’t do everything or please everyone – Gov Abiodun

“On my way coming here, I saw this road and I felt bad because the road is too bad. And we are currently embarking on construction of roads across the state, but this road now makes it look like we have not done anything. All these roads cannot be completed even in 20 years. But, we are determined to do this road,” he assured.

DAILY POST reports that Abiodun was in the area to inspect the Arakanga Water works, expressing confidence that Abeokuta residents will soon begin to enjoy uninterrupted supply of pipe borne water.

He said that the completion and installation of five ‘Barage Gates’ at the Arakanga dam would allow for proper damming and effective distribution of potable water to the people.

Abiodun blamed the previous administration for the stoppage in water supply, alleging that it failed to mandate contractors to repair water installations destroyed during road constructions.

Kim Kardashian temporarily shutting down KKW Beauty To Give The Brand A 'Modern, Innovative' Makeover

Kim Kardashian temporarily shutting down KKW Beauty to give the brand a 'modern, innovative' makeover ... as fans speculate she will drop the 'W' amid divorce from Kanye West

Kim Kardashian West, 40, announced on Twitter that she would be temporarily closing down her lucrative KKW Beauty line to rebrand.

In a long series of tweets on Tuesday, the mogul explained that the product line in its current iteration would be no more and will relaunch with 'new formulas that are more modern, innovative, and packaged in an elevated and sustainable new look.'

While she made no mention of the reason behind the makeup makeover, fans immediately began to speculate that Kim would be dropping the 'W' from the label amid her divorce from Kanye West.

'To Our Loyal Customers, It all started with a contour kit and expanded to eyes, lips, body, and many incredible collections over the past four years,' she began on Twitter.

'On August 1st at midnight we will be shutting down the http://KKWBeauty.com site so that we can come back to you under a completely new brand with new formulas that are more modern, innovative, and packaged in an elevated and sustainable new look,' Kim continued.

'I'm excited to continue to develop and expand my product range and for you to finally be able to experience it the way that I have always envisioned. 

'In addition, my team is hard at work to improve the customer shopping experience where you will be able to purchase my beauty and cosmetic offerings in all categories from one single website. 

'Thank you so much for being on this incredible journey with me, and I promise we won't be gone for too long,' the KUWTK star ended before signing off with 'xo, Kim Kardashian West'

Despite including her married name in the signature, followers started responding with theories that Kim was making over her brand because of her impending divorce from Kanye West and would be removing the 'W' from the name.  

'I think she is removing the W from the whole brand,' one user replied before another echoed. 'She will remove the W from her brand.'

A third seemed offended that the Calabasas raised beauty would think no one would figure out what she was doing: 'Lol so basically now that you're getting divorced you don't want that 'W' in the name. Just say it and keep it moving Sis we ain't brand new' 

Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February citing irreconcilable differences following a traumatic year where the rapper seemingly struggled with mental health issues.

The A-list couple started dating in 2012 and wed in 2014 in Florence. They share four children together, North, son Saint, five, daughter Chicago. three, and Psalm, two.

Kanye has since begun a blossoming relationship with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, 35, while sources have said Kim is hesitant to begin dating again. 

Kim launched her eponymous cosmetics line in June of 2017 and in November of the same year, the star launched KKW Fragrance. 

Since its inception, KKW Beauty has introduced collections revolutionizing the direct to consumer model by repeatedly selling out multiple launches. 

In October 2019, KKW Beauty entered Ulta Beauty as the exclusive retailer in the US. 

Back in January, beauty company Coty Inc acquired a 20% ownership interest in Kardashian's beauty business for $200M. 

At the time, the partnership was said to include the development of a KKW Beauty skincare line that is expected launch in fiscal year 2022.

The multi-million dollar deal pushed Kim's net worth to a $1billion (estranged ex Kanye is said to be worth $1.8billion).

This was part of the decisions they reached at their latest meeting which was held in Lagos.

The governors also deliberated on insecurity, constitutional amendment, PIB and anti-open grazing law in all member-states during the meeting.

South Africa Former President Zuma Sentenced To 15 Months In Jail

Former South Africa president Jacob Zuma, was on Tuesday handed a 15-month jail term by the country’s top court for contempt of court following his refusal to appear before graft investigators.

“The Constitutional Court can do nothing but conclude that Mr Zuma is guilty of the crime of contempt of court,” judge Sisi Khampepe said.

Zuma, 79, is accused of enabling the plunder of state coffers during his nearly nine-year stay in office.

“This kind of recalcitrance and defiance is unlawful and will be punished,” Khampepe said.

“I am left with no option but to commit Mr Zuma to imprisonment, with the hope that doing so sends an unequivocal message… the rule of law and the administration of justice prevails.”

“The majority judgement orders an unsuspended sentence of imprisonment for a period (of 15 months),” she declared, ordering Zuma to hand himself over within five days.

The commission of inquiry is headed by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.

The panel was set up by Zuma himself, under pressure over mounting scandals, shortly before he was ousted in 2018 by the ruling African National Congress (ANC).

But he only testified once, in July 2019, before staging a walkout days later and accusing the commission’s Zondo of bias.

He then ignored several invitations to reappear, citing medical reasons and preparations for another corruption trial.

He presented himself again briefly in November but left before questioning, and Zondo asked to ask the Constitutional Court to intervene.

Most of the graft investigated by the commission involve three brothers from a wealthy Indian business family, the Guptas, who won lucrative government contracts and were allegedly even able to choose cabinet ministers.

Zuma is separately facing 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering relating to a 1999 purchase of fighter jets, patrol boats and military gear from five European arms firms for 30 billion rand, then the equivalent of nearly $5 billion.

At the time of the purchase, Zuma was president Thabo Mbeki’s deputy.

He is accused of accepting bribes totalling four million rand from one of the firms, French defence giant Thales.
