Guardian reports that four states, including Lagos, Ogun, Kaduna and Kano, have been allocated N400 billion in the 2025 budget for light rail projects, in a bid to improve the transportation system countrywide. The newspaper says less than 24 hours after its launch, pirated copies of ‘A Journey in Service’, IBB’s memoir, began circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
