The 15-man committee led by the Leader of the Senate, Senator Micheal Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central), made this known to journalists on Thursday.

2. The Department of State Services has warned against the planned nationwide protest in the country. The agency said on Thursday that it had already identified the sponsors of the planned protest and warned them not to proceed with it as it is not in Nigeria’s interest.

3. Eight school children were on Thursday rescued from a ghastly motor accident in Lokoja the Kogi State capital when a fully loaded truck fell on two cars. An Eyewitness account said that the children are pupils of Kingdom Heritage Nursery and Primary School, Lokoja.

4. President Bola Tinubu says he spent his personal fortune on election, expressing confidence that he has no cabal to compensate. The President, who received a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau, at the State House on Thursday, said his victory at the polls was purely by divine intervention.

5. President Bola Tinubu has admitted being part of different protests but without violence. The President said this when he received Letter of Credence from the newly appointed United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Richard Mills Jr. at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
