NOT long ago, we proposed that the acute infrastructure deficit in the country, especially roads, should be tackled through Public-Private Partnerships..
These are long-term contracts between private parties and a government entity, for providing public assets or services, in which the private parties bear significant risks with management responsibilities and remunerations linked to performance.
That proposal was in line with the Presidential Executive Order No. 007 of 2019, also known as Companies Income Tax (Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme) issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria on January 25, 2019.

The President of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said he stopped receiving salary from the Church many years ago, warning that the people saying men of god are stealing from the Church were at risk of God’s wrath.
Bishop Oyedepo, who preached at the “Encounter Night” at ongoing Shiloh 2020, said: “The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and add no sorrow with. There is a difference between the blessings of the Lord and the blessings of the effort of man.
“Those saying these people are stealing will just rain curse of the Lord on themselves. Prosperity is not on what you are given, but in what you give.”
He made this assertion during a sermon on the second day of this year's Shiloh, an annual gathering of members of the Living Faith Church held in December.
