The boy’s mother, whose name is Anita Dembo, was said to have involved herself in an affair with a chimpanzee. This she allegedly confessed to on her deathbed.

The relationship endured for many years during her employment at the Parc national de Cameia where she worked as a conservation officer since 1998.

Mojisola Meranda, speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, could not access her office on Monday morning as rumours of her possible resignation swirled.

The speaker’s office was sealed by security operatives shortly before dawn.

Groups of police and task force personnel intermittently took brisk walks within and outside the complex to prevent a breakdown of law and order.

Meranda sauntered into the assembly complex to cheers and applause from lawmakers and some members of staff.

“Madam speaker… madam speaker,” they chorused.

She acknowledged the cheers with a broad smile and a somewhat defiant, resolute look, before strolling round the premises — a retinue of her security detail in tow.

The Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) has said it is working on a close partnership with the Lagos State Government to boost e-commerce in the state.

The Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, Ms. Tola Odeyemi stated this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to her, a partnership with Lagos State would enable the Service to optimize last-mile delivery and ensure seamless connectivity within the city and across the nation.

“The e-commerce sector is rapidly expanding, and Lagos is at the forefront of this growth. Through enhanced postal and logistics services, we aim to support small businesses and individuals participating in e-commerce,” she stated.

While noting that one of her primary goals, as the Postmaster-General, is to foster strategic partnerships that would enhance the efficiency and relevance of NIPOST’s services in a rapidly evolving world, the NIPOST boss said:

“I see Lagos State as a critical partner in achieving this vision, given its status as the economic hub of Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the courtesy visit to Governor Sanwo-Olu shows the importance of partnership in governance and service delivery, saying NIPOST is ready to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to drive innovation, boost economic development, and enhance public service delivery.

She also praised the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for several programs held in December that attracted many people in the diaspora to travel to Lagos for ‘Detty December.’

Speaking earlier, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu charged the Postmaster-General to challenge the status quo for a sustainable change for today and future needs.

He urged the Nigerian Postal Service to use technology as an enabler to enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Governor also reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to collaborate with the NIPOST office service centres to improve its physical spaces and enhance e-commerce as well as the movement and sales of goods.
“You and your team need to think outside of the box make a difference and revamp NIPOST. Don’t be shy about challenging the status quo.

“Don’t be shy about saying you want to change what you met because the people who created those things several years ago did what was obtainable then. If you want an organisation that will meet today’s and future needs, change is a reality,” Governor Sanwo-Olu advised the Postmaster-General.
