The federal government has been advised to urgently review the law prohibiting the lazy practice of bush burning in the country in other to curb both the

The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the call at the pull-out parade of the immediate past Controller-general of Federal Fire Service , Dr Liman Ibrahim Alhaji, in Abuja on Thursday, said the review should include the mechanism for its enforcement.

Aregbesola emphasised that if reviewed, the law should be included in the mandate of forest rangers, stressing the need to put an end to bush burning nationwide as its effects are huge and incalculable. The minister, who expressed worry at what he described as unacceptable spate of fire outbreaks recorded in the country, said the biggest challenge of firefighting at this moment was being able to mount an aerial campaign, either for bush fire or industrial fire such as recently witnessed at a popular departmental store in Abuja.Aregbesola emphatically challenged state governments to invest more in firefighting, adding that the FFS was only complementing state government’s efforts.

The minister added that, “The FFS should and is only complementing state efforts, not to take over their responsibility. States should have effective presence in all local governments and have a response time of not more than five minutes for any distress call. He said, “For this, the service should accelerate the rapprochement with the Nigerian Airforce on the use of airplane for spreading water to kill fire from the air. I am repeating the call for state governments to invest more in firefighting. It is a critical social service that must not be neglected.”

Senate passes bill seeking to establish six new law school campuses | TheCableThe senate has passed a bill seeking to establish six more law campuses across the country. Law school in a lawless country. This is very interesting conundrum 🤣. Law makers breaking the law. Law enforcers breaking the law. Judges in the pockets of politicians. Lawyers protecting looters, terrorists and those paying their ways to favourable judgements 🤣👍 It’s a shame that personal and political interests instead of economic consideration continues to drive the decision making process in our country. Our leaders continue to make decisions that separate rather than unit us.
