content creation has to be fully maximised in the following ways.

- Inspiration.
- Education.
- Entertainment.
- Sales.

All the above must be utilized.

1. By inspiration, you share the story of your life that can be learning lessons for others, especially with respect to your business of fashion.

2. Educate folks on how you create, connect to clients, design, back end works, business system, and service.

3. Show how you messed up at times and the funny things around the business of fashion.

4. Create intellectual digital products that can sell for you apart from just fashion. You must pay heed to the problems that you clients - people in the industry and those who wear - have and then create digital products.

Copied.

10 pirates have been arrested by the Nigerian Navy after hijacking a Chinese vessel, MV HAILUFANG II off the coast of Ivory Coast.

The 18 crew members who were rescued after the attack comprised of Chinese, Ghanaians, and Ivorians. Commodore Ibrahim Shettima, the Commander Nigeria Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT said the arrest and rescue mission took place on 15 May.

Shettima said NNS NGURU was deployed to intercept the vessel after the Nigerian Navy was alerted of the attack.

He said;

“The pirates took control of the vessel and directed the vessel toward Nigerian waters.

“On interception of the vessel at about 140nm south of Lagos Fairway Buoy, the pirates refused to comply with the orders of the Navy Ship.

“Hence, the NN had to conduct an opposed boarding of the vessel.

“All ships crew were safely rescued, while the 10 pirates were arrested,” he said.

The commodore noted that the last five known or documented pirates’ attacks were outside Nigerian waters, which the NN responded in the interest of regional security.

“This is aptly captured in the NN Total Spectrum Maritime Strategy, which covers Nigeria’s outermost maritime area of interest, encompassing the entire West African waters and the GoG.

” This underscores the need for increased regional cooperation in terms of information sharing and further deepening of response capability.

” For instance, this rescue effort was bolstered by additional intel received from the Beninous Navy during the operation.

“The NN has the capability and will power to deal with such perpetrators.”

Governor Wike Approves Building Of School On Site Of Demolished Hotel In Port Harcourt

Governor Wike begins constriction of a primary school at the site where an hotel building was demolished in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

Paulinus Nsirim, Rivers commissioner for information and communication, says the state government has approved the construction of a primary school on the site of the demolished hotel building in the state.

Gov Wike ordered the demolishion of Prodest Hotel, Eleme, and Etemeteh Hotel, Onne, for allegedly violating the lockdown directives.

Shedding light on the governor’s reasons for pulling down the hotels, Nsirim said the demolition was carried out in line with an executive order and to protect the state.

“The latest issue that has been hijacked by opposition elements is the demolition of two hotels in Eleme, after they deliberately flouted executive order 6,” he said.

“These two hotels, Prodest Hotel, Alode, Eleme and Etemeteh Hotel, Onne not only flouted the executive order, the hotel manager of Prodest invited the wanted PDP Eleme youth leader, Princewill Osaroejiji, who came with thugs to unleash mayhem on task force operatives on ground to close down the facility,” he said.

“As we speak, one of the task force operatives lost his life last night. Governor Wike and the Rivers state security council took the decision to demolish the hotels in the interest of Rivers state and her people.

“Having demolished that hotel, Governor Wike has approved that a primary school be constructed at that location to serve Rivers people. This is what a responsive government will do.

“The fight against coronavirus in the state has been premised on the rule of law. It was Governor Wike who first signed an executive order that led to border closure and other actions.

“Therefore, the fight against coronavirus in Rivers state is in the interest of Rivers people and the entire country. This is because Rivers state is vital to the survival of the nation as the headquarters of the hydrocarbon industry.

“It was also done to protect officials of the Rivers state government who are implementing the executive order. No government will allow its officials to be killed by thugs whilst they carry out lawful directive.”

President Buhari Appoints New Chief of Staff, Prof Agboola Ibrahim Gambari of Kwara State.

Professor Agboola Ibrahim Gambari

(Economics) degree in Political Science with a specialty in International Relations, Professor Gambari received M.A. and Ph.D. in 1970 and 1974 respectively both in Political Science/International Relations from New York’s Columbia University.

He had a brief stint lecturing at the City University of New York and the State University of New York (Albany) in 1969-74. He returned to Nigeria where he taught at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria and rose to the rank of Professor in 1983. He was Head of the Department of Political Science in 1982-1983, where he founded the first undergraduate Programme in International Studies in Nigeria.

Professor Gambari was appointed Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs in October 1983, a position he held until his appointment as the youngest ever Minister of External Affairs during Buhari/Idiagbon administration after the change of government in December 1983. He had served in various academic capacities: He was Visiting Professor at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, in Baltimore; lecturer at both Georgetown University and Howard University in Washington, D.C.; a Research Fellow at Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C and a Resident Scholar at Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Study and Conference Centre, Italy.

Prior to joining the UN Secretariat in December 1999, Professor Ibrahim Gambari holds the record of being the longest serving Ambassador/Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations (January 1990 to October 1999). As Nigeria’s Ambassador to the UN, he was a senior member of the Nigerian Delegation to ten consecutive sessions of the General Assembly (44th to 54th); he also served as President of the Security Council on two occasions (May 1994 and October 1995).

Apart from chairing the UN Special Committee on PeaceKeeping Operations from 1990-1999, he led several United Nations missions, including the Special Committee against Apartheid and the Security Council missions to South Africa, Burundi, Rwanda and Mozambique. He served as member of the Board of Trustees of the United Nations Institute of Training and Research (UNITAR) from 1993 to 1999 and also as President of the Executive Board of UNICEF (January to December, 1999).

Professor Gambari apart from publishing articles in national and international scholarly journals, he has authored globally acclaimed books which include: Theory and Reality in Foreign Policy Decision Making, Comparative Study of Regional Economic Integration; the Case of ECOWAS and The Domestic Politics of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy. Some of his forthcoming books include Africa’s Security Questions at the End of the 20th Century into the New Millennium and The United Nations in a Changing World Order: An African Perspective.

In recognition of his distinguished diplomatic and scholarly careers, he was in 1985 became the first African to be conferred with the title of ‘Honorary Professor by Chugsan University’ which was founded by and named after Dr. Sun Yat Sen, leader of the 1911 Peasant Revolution and first President of Nationalist China. The University of Bridgeport (USA) awarded him the Doctor of Humane Letters degree (honoris causa) in 2002; the prestigious Johns Hopkins University elected him to membership of the University’s Society of Scholars in 2002 and the Government of Nigeria awarded him the national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) in 2003. He was also honoured by various associations including the Nigerian Lawyer Association, New York in 2006.

Professor Gambari is the founder of the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development, a non-governmental “think-tank” in Abuja, which is devoted to critical analyses of – and solutions to – the problems of conflict prevention, management and resolution, as well as democratization and sustainable development in Africa.
