The daughter of an Oklahoma mayor — who is also the wife of the town’s police chief — has been found guilty of child sex crimes after having an inappropriate relationship with one of her students. Emma Delaney Hancock, a 28-year-old former substitute teacher in Wellston, will serve four years in prison after being sentenced for two counts of soliciting sex with a minor through the use of technology on Wednesday, KFOR reported. Hancock, the daughter of Wellston Mayor Paul Whitnah and wife of Wellston Police Chief Alfred Hancock, still claims innocence and argues that the victim is lying, according to the outlet. An arrest affidavit obtained by the KOKH revealed that Hancock began talking to the then-15-year-old boy in October 2022 after getting his number under the guise of helping him with classwork. Later that night, the substitute teacher sent the boy a friend request on Snapchat, leading to several weeks of communication between them. Over those weeks, the conversations escalated to the point of trading nude images and videos, the teen said. The affidavit went on to state that the student went to the sub’s classroom, where she kissed and groped him while they hid inside a closet on two occasions. The teacher was also letting the 15-year-old use her vape pen, court documents said. At one point, the boy told his friend about the inappropriate nature of his relationship with Hancock, prompting the other student to confront the substitute. When asked by the other teen if the rumors were true, police said that Hancock initially denied the allegations before admitting to them, telling the student that the illegal relationship would “not amount to anything because they were not going to get caught.” After the teen reported the relationship to the authorities in November 2022, investigators obtained a warrant and searched Hancock’s devices, finding videos related to the incidents. The disgraced teacher turned herself in to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in April 2023, before posting bond, KOKH reported. Wellston Public Schools superintendent Mike Franz said Hancock was “immediately removed from our call list and not allowed back on campus” after being made aware of the allegations when the victim reported them. “In addition, the district immediately notified local, county, and state (OSBI) law enforcement officials. The district cooperated, when asked, throughout OSBI’s investigation,” Franz added in a statement obtained by the local outlet. Police Chief Alfred Hancock supported his wife, with whom he has two children, throughout the trial, testifying that she did not commit any crimes. “She looked me dead in the eyes and said, there’s nothing [on her phone]. I mean, I believe that there’s nothing there,” he told jurors, according to NonDoc. “She’s my wife. I believe her. I’m on her side.” Hancock herself also took the stand, admitting to letting the student hit her vape pen but denying anything else. “The only explanation I have is he was using a vape pen — which I was in the wrong for — and the story got blown up into something it wasn’t,” she testified. “I feel like there were a couple of inappropriate instances but I don’t think that defines who I am as a person or a teacher,” she added. Despite being acquitted of two charges of “lewd or indecent acts to (a) child under 16” and one of “soliciting sexual conduct or communication with (a) minor by use of technology,” she was still found guilty on the two solicitation charges. On top of prison time, Hancock will also have to register as a sex offender. Her victim has remained in online school since the grooming, his family said. “It’s just too much,” one of his relatives told KFOR. “So, he’s going to go back online. So, his entire high school years were online. So, we missed all that. The sports events, the prom, walking across the stage.”EV maker DFSK enters the Philippine market

Toronto Sceptres open PWHL season with 3-1 comeback win over Boston FleetZimbabwe’s operating environment has remained largely the same over the years, and industry and businesses have continued to find ways to manoeuvre the difficult space to foster growth and make further investments. In 2024, several issues continued to be flagged by businesses as factors increasing the cost of doing business in Zimbabwe, including monetary and exchange rate distortions, inflation, limited access to finance, unreliable power supply, corruption, and unreliable infrastructure. Throughout the year, Zimbabwe’s businesses were constantly tweaking operational models with a major focus on costs as part of contingency strategies to keep their companies afloat in a volatile operating environment. According to the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) 2024 annual state of industry and commerce survey report, the year under review was generally economically difficult; capacity utilisation in most sectors decreased when compared to the previous year, 2023. The report noted that in some sectors, it remained unchanged, and in most service sectors and agriculture, capacity utilisation declined, while in the mining and quarrying sector, it marginally increased, particularly for enterprises in gold and ferrochrome production. ZNCC said the respondents were citing exchange rate distortions, low demand, and power outages as the main reasons weighing down capacity utilisation. “For some firms, lack of access to foreign currency or accessing foreign currency at the exorbitant exchange rate on the black market has resulted in lower capacity utilisation. The other reasons weighing down capacity utilisation are the cost of capital and the non-optimal fiscal framework,” reads the report. As companies struggled to secure adequate working capital and relied on expensive short-term borrowings, the risk of cutting back on production, retrenchments, and closures increasingly became a reality. According to ZNCC, the central bank should curtail money supply growth to stabilise the exchange rate and prices, as excessive liquidity fuels inflation and exchange rate instability. It noted that there is also a need to enhance the flexibility of the exchange rate to reduce the impact of the parallel market while stabilising the currency through well-targeted foreign exchange market interventions. Dairibord Holdings chief executive officer Mercy Ndoro told Business Weekly the year 2024 was tough, marked by a myriad of challenges, chief among them policy inconsistencies that affected business performance. She said the inconsistencies created uncertainties in the market that hindered the industry’s ability to enter into long-term commitments. “Government should enhance transparency of government’s intended moves, steadfastness in policy stance, and change of critical policies after wide consultations with all affected stakeholders,” she said. Ndoro said economic challenges such as liquidity crisis, inflation, and currency volatility also compounded the situation for companies. She said the Government should address macroeconomic challenges for currency stability, control inflation, and maintain fiscal discipline. In addition to that, Ndoro highlighted that the high tax burden, such as the introduction of a sugar tax, disallowed VAT claims on milks and other basic commodities, and the IMTT increase on USD transactions, placed a higher tax burden on industry. She said the Government must consider, at the very least, designating sugar tax and IMTT as allowable deductions for tax purposes. Business has over the year grappled with the high cost of and power supply deficit, which has crippled industry. Ndoro said to facilitate the transition to more sustainable energy sources, Governmental subsidies for industrial entities are recommended. “Furthermore, a concerted effort to rehabilitate critical infrastructure within ZETDC and ZPC is imperative to augment energy generation and transmission capacities,” she said. Most of the challenges resulted in high costs of production. Ndoro said there should be improvements in infrastructure for consistent and reliable power supply, efficient transport networks, and enhanced access to finance with lower interest rates and financial inclusion for SMEs. She said in 2025, the business will continue with its growth agenda with particular emphasis on enhancing processing capacity through capital investments aimed at expanding market reach and augmenting sales volumes. Ndoro said the company will also increase commitment to innovation, dedicating significant resources to research and development, with the objective of growing a robust and diversified product portfolio. “Market expansion with a deliberate, concerted effort on export growth while rigorous cost management strategies will be implemented across the business to optimise operational costs,” she said. Economist Victor Bhoroma told Business Weekly that Zimbabwe’s economy remained resilient and competitive in some sectors in 2024, and there are a number of businesses in some economic sectors that have remained attractive for investment. “When you look at high levels of inflation and distortions in currency, we can conclude that the economy is very resilient. Corporates have found ways of how to manoeuvre the economic instability to foster growth and to continue investing,” he said. Bhoroma noted that since 2009, there should have been serious action in terms of investment in energy, which has been among the major impediments for companies during the year. “Using generators, the cost is unimaginable,” he said. According to ZNCC, the Government should enhance the flexibility of the exchange rate to reduce the impact of the parallel market while stabilising the currency through well-targeted foreign exchange market interventions. “Continuously build foreign exchange reserves to cover at least six months of imports, and efficiently manage the current foreign exchange reserve stock through well-targeted foreign exchange market interventions to avoid depletion.,” reads the report. ZNCC said given the current foreign exchange reserve stock, coupled with factors such as high inflation, high public debt to GDP ratio, and widespread informality, the full adoption of the ZWG and a return to a mono-currency system (ZWG) is not advisable in the short to medium term. In order to give industrial support, the Government should move away from blanket incentives to sector-specific tax incentives that target firms creating additional employment to cater to each economic player’s needs to boost the rural industrialisation agenda and attract and retain foreign direct investment. Malone Gwadu, a financial economist, said particularly the manufacturing sector in Zimbabwe is in need of serious retooling to modernise their equipment in order to be competitive. “Outdated technologies currently in our market increase the cost structure and, by derivation, business costs, which are in US dollars; hence, retooling is quite key in arresting costs that render our local produce uncompetitive,” he said. Gwadu said the electricity situation is unfortunately here to stay for a while until the necessary interventions are finished, such as the Hwange power plants. “Alternative sources may need to be considered, especially solar energy. We have abundant solar power, which we are not utilising beyond household level even for our industries,” he said. Last month, Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube announced several proposed interventions that will shape industry and business operations next year. However, businesses are calling on the Government to consider reviewing some of the proposed measures, which they believe will erode competitiveness and drive the cost of production high. The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) expressed concern over the reduction of the degree of export orientation from 100 percent to 80 percent for manufacturing companies under Special Economic Zones (SEZ), as it will be difficult to penetrate the export market due to high costs of production. “The proposal is that the degree of export orientation be further reviewed down,” reads the report. CZI is also of the view that the 25 percent tax on rental income is too high, as there are other costs to be met by rental income collections, like renovations, maintenance costs, and others. The industry representative body said the Government should ensure that the tax is applied on net rental income as opposed to gross revenue from rentals. Source: Buisness Weekly

How the grateful dead and a New York Apparel designer sponsored the 1992 Lithuanian Olympic Basketball TeamWhether it's keeping your smartphone charged during a busy day or ensuring your smartwatch and earbuds are ready to go, a good wireless charger can make life so much easier. Even though wireless charging has its pros and cons , it's a must-have for anyone looking to cut the clutter of traditional cables and enjoy hassle-free power-ups. As someone who has spent years reviewing and testing the latest gadgets, I've seen firsthand how wireless charging technology has evolved. From the early days of slow charging speeds to today's lightning-fast Qi2 chargers, I've tested countless models to find the perfect balance of performance, design, and price. Here, I'll leverage that expertise to guide you through the maze of options and help you find the perfect wireless charger for your needs. These are all the best wireless chargers that you can buy directly from Amazon so that you can shop reliably with ease. From Qi standards to MagSafe compatibility, whether you're a tech enthusiast or just looking for a reliable charger for everyday use, you can trust that these recommendations are based on thorough research and hands-on testing. If you're looking for a premium charging solution that can keep all your Apple devices topped up, the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 is an excellent choice. This elegant stand features a MagSafe charging pad for your iPhone, a dedicated spot for your AirPods, and a magnetic charging module for your Apple Watch . The magnetic alignment for iPhones is exceptionally smooth, making it a breeze to dock your device without fumbling. Unlike most other chargers and cheap knockoffs, the Anker MagGo justifies its premium price tag — $110 on Amazon — with its looks and performance. The clean, modern design looks great on a desk or nightstand, making it a great accessory for your work desk. Additionally, the charger can be folded, allowing you to carry it when on the move. As for the performance, it's Qi2 certified, which means that all supported iPhones will charge at a faster speed of 15W. It's also worth noting that the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 includes a 40W USB-C Charger in the bundle. As such, you won't have to work extra money on a power adapter. Anker is one of the most trustworthy brands in the charger scene, and this charging station is available in both Black and White colorways to reliably charge your Apple ecosystem while keeping the desk neat and clean. The Qi2 wireless charging technology is a game-changer for efficiency, offering improved magnetic alignment and faster charging speeds. For context, on iPhones any standard Qi charger could offer only up to 7.5W of charging speed and you need a MagSafe charger to achieve 15W of charging speed. Now, with Qi2, both iPhones and Android devices use a common standard that can charge at 15W with ease. That's where the ESR HaloLock comes in. This charger from ESR combines the latest charging technology with thoughtful design features, making it a standout choice for tech-savvy users. What sets this charger apart is its foldable kickstand, which transforms it into a dual-purpose accessory. Whether you're working on a project, watching a movie, or following a workout video, the kickstand ensures your phone stays upright and accessible while charging wirelessly. In fact, when placed on your desk or nightstand, the charger pairs perfectly with the iPhone Standby feature. What's more, the strong magnetic attachment ensures your device stays securely in place even if you accidentally bump your desk or table. For added durability, it also comes with a reinforced cable base and a nylon braided cable, which is quite long at 5 feet. It's available in a wide array of color options and offers excellent value for money for its price. Belkin is a brand that's trusted by most folks in the Apple ecosystem, largely due to the fact that it's been around for a very long time. Besides that, their products are sold on Apple's Store directly. Designed to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand is the ultimate all-in-one solution for Apple users. The upright phone dock is especially convenient, as it allows you to continue using your phone while it charges. Whether you're scrolling through notifications, attending video calls, or checking the time, the stand ensures your phone remains visible and accessible. Alternatively, you can choose to conveniently rotate your iPhone to watch videos or attend calls in landscape mode. When not in use, the wireless charger also makes for an excellent iPhone Standby mount to showcase on your desk or nightstand. The thoughtful design further extends to the Apple Watch charger too, which features a raised platform, making it perfect for Nightstand Mode. Below it is the AirPods charging pad that fits snugly to ensure efficient power delivery. The sturdy frame and non-slip base ensure everything stays in place, even if you accidentally bump the stand. Drive a lot and own a smartphone that supports wireless charging? Then it's high time you got yourself a wireless charger that can be mounted. Sure, most brand new cars come with a wireless charging pad in the console somewhere, but you can still buy a wireless charger for your older vehicle. While there are plenty of options to choose from, Satechi's Qi2 Wireless car charger is one that you can buy with confidence. For starters, it's designed with the latest Qi2 technology, offering faster and more efficient charging for compatible devices. Its magnetic alignment ensures your phone stays securely in place, even on bumpy roads or sharp turns. Whether you're navigating with GPS, streaming music, or taking hands-free calls, this charger keeps your phone accessible and charged without the hassle of cables. The adjustable mount design is incredibly easy to use, and can easily be clipped to your vehicle's air vents. This ensures a safe and comfortable viewing angle, keeping your focus on the road. In addition, since it's mounted to your car's air vents you don't have to worry about your phone overheating while you are using navigation apps. Most charging stations are designed with the idea of being placed on a desk in a stationary position. However, the UGREEN Uno is a compact and lightweight wireless charger that's perfect for travel. Its small size makes it easy to slip into your bag or pocket, and it can easily be used in hotel rooms, airports, or anywhere else you need a quick charge. Despite its small size, it packs a punch with fast wireless charging capabilities, and a nice display too. On the top is a wireless charging magnetic pad, which can be used for smartphones as well as TWS. For smartphones and iPhones, the Qi2 charging goes up to 15W, while AirPods and other earbuds can be charged at a maximum of 5W for safe charging. The magnetic pad can also be adjusted up to 70 degrees, offering convenient usage while charging your phone. Apart from this, there's a small display up front with a robot design that shows different emojis based on the charger's status. In my experience, UGREEN's products have always been quite safe and reliable, and the Uno is no different. The wireless charger comes with overvoltage, overcurrent, overheat, and short-circuit protection, to safeguard against all sorts of charging threats. Considering its features and good price, the UGREEN Uno is easily a nice travel accessory for both Android and iPhone users . The Baseus Nomos 8-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station is a powerhouse for those who need to charge multiple devices. This versatile station can simultaneously charge up to eight devices, including iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watches, and other Qi-enabled devices. It features a magnetic dock for your iPhone, along with an additional USB-A, three USB-C ports, and a trio of AC outlets for larger devices like laptops. Think of it as a surge protector with multiple ports and a wireless charging stand combined into one. The wireless stand can be raised to a 60-degree angle, with full adjustability in between. It also includes a stretchable extension to raise the charger when in use with bigger devices like the iPhone 16 Plus or iPhone 16 Pro Max. There's also support for Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W. Apart from that, the USB ports support a maximum of 67W of USB Power Delivery. The AC sockets are also well spaced out and even feature a pop-up feature for added convenience. Baseus hasn't compromised on the safety aspect either, offering all the necessary protections that you'd need while charging multiple devices at once. The most reliable wireless chargers for Android devices are often stands, from the Google Pixel Stand to the OnePlus Warp Charger . Since Android devices don't have a magnetic coil built into them, unlike Apple, these wireless charging stands serve them well. In the sea of wireless charging stands that are also quite cost-effective, the INIU Wireless Charger is a solid recommendation. The INIU Wireless Charger comes with a dual-coil design that allows your phone to charge in both portrait and landscape modes. As a result, it is ideal for a range of activities, from video calls to watching movies or scrolling through social media. The stand is also compatible with most phone cases, so there's no need to remove your case every time you charge. There's also a nice LED indicator light to indicate the charging status. That said, INIU understands that the light can be a bit distracting, which is why it automatically dims in a dark environment. Additionally, despite its affordable price tag, the charger comes with Temp Guard Battery Protection, which basically reduces the charging rate dynamically to ensure that your phone doesn't heat up while charging. Whether you opt for a charging station or a charging stand, it requires constant power from the wall. So what if you're on the move? That's where a power bank comes in. Even though there are plenty of power banks that support wireless charging, the Anker MagGo is one of the few ones that supports the latest Qi2 standard. Thanks to that, the power bank securely attaches to your smartphone, providing a reliable charge without needing any cables. Its compact size and lightweight build mean it's easy to carry in your bag or even your pocket. One of its standout features is the built-in foldable kickstand, which allows you to prop up your phone for hands-free use while it charges. Whether you're on a video call, streaming a show, or browsing the web during a layover, the MagGo Power Bank keeps your phone functional and charged. As for backup, the 10,000 mAh battery capacity is enough to charge most smartphones twice and then some. Additionally, the MagGo includes a small display on its side to monitor the battery percentage of the power bank. All these features coupled with Anker's excellent reliability, which earned it the top spot in our power bank brand rankings , make it one of the best options on this list. JSAUX is a brand that's synonymous with affordable, value-for-money products, and their Mag Charger is no different. It's an affordable charger that's similar to the original Apple MagSafe charger but costs almost half while offering seamless compatibility. The charger ensures a strong magnetic attachment to your iPhone, aligning perfectly for efficient and reliable wireless charging. That said, what truly sets the JSAUX Mag Charger apart is its unique design. It's available in both Clear-Black and Clear-White colorways, wherein the charging coil underneath is visible. Is the design similar to Nothing's smartphones ? Yes, and we're all for it. The charger looks elegant when placed on your desk, and when connected, looks just like the real deal. Despite its stylish appeal, the charger doesn't compromise on performance. It supports fast MagSafe charging and comes with a dual-port cable to support both USB-A and USB-C ports. That said, you will have to buy a charging adapter for this with a rated output of at least 20W. While it might seem like a given, the Apple MagSafe Charger is the gold standard for wireless charging that is specifically designed to work seamlessly with iPhones. For older iPhones, most of the options on this list should easily suffice. However, if you're using an iPhone 16 series device , the official MagSafe charger is the one you should get. That's because the newer iPhones boast support for 25W wireless charging over MagSafe, delivering blazing-fast charging speeds unmatched by third-party options. As things stand, only the official MagSafe Charger can unlock this higher wattage, making it an essential accessory for getting the most out of your iPhone 16. Designed with Apple's precision and attention to detail, the MagSafe Charger ensures a perfect magnetic alignment every time, providing a secure and reliable connection. Its compact, disc-shaped design is easy to carry, making it ideal for use at home, in the office, or while traveling. Whether you're topping up your phone during a busy day or charging overnight, the MagSafe Charger delivers consistent and optimized performance. With up to 25W of fast charging, you can essentially charge your iPhone 16 up to 50% in about 30 minutes. That pretty much makes the Apple MagSafe Charger a clear winner for users seeking a seamless, fast, and dependable charging experience. The Yootech Wireless Charger proves that you don't have to break the bank to enjoy reliable wireless charging. Despite its budget-friendly price, it offers solid performance, supporting charging speeds of up to 10W for most Qi-enabled devices. With almost 200,000 reviews on Amazon alone, it's a fan favorite amongst budget shoppers. Its slim and lightweight design makes it an excellent option for those looking to add a convenient charging solution to their bedside table or workspace. As such, this charger is a great fit for everyday use. Imagine having a reliable wireless charger for your home office or guest room that doesn't cost a fortune but still gets the job done. The Yootech charger is also case-friendly, so you won't have to constantly remove your phone case to charge, as long as it's under 5mm thick. While it may lack some premium features, it covers the essentials perfectly. The intelligent temperature control system ensures your device doesn't overheat, adding an extra layer of safety during charging. For budget-conscious users who want a simple, effective, and reliable wireless charger, the Yootech is an unbeatable choice.

Governor Uba Sani has said his administration has taken steps to improve rural communities, enhance security, and drive economic growth in Kaduna State within less than two years of his assumption of office. The governor made this statement during an interactive session on Thursday at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), noting that the government has addressed security challenges and directed the state toward the much-needed road to economic development and growth. Sani, who was represented at the occasion by his Principal Private Secretary (PPS), Professor Bello Ayuba, explained that “no doubt, there has never been any administration in the history of Kaduna State that achieved so much within a short time and with limited resources like the present government.” According to him, in less than two years, the administration in Kaduna State has been rapidly transforming rural communities through massive infrastructural development, the revival and revitalization of the health and educational sectors, frontally fighting poverty, and strengthening partnerships with security forces to secure the state. Stressing the area of security, he noted that the government has forged a solid partnership with federal security forces to secure Kaduna State by giving them logistics support to enhance their operations, just as the government distributed 150 operational vehicles and 500 motorcycles to them and the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS) to boost their operations. Besides, he stressed, the state government has signed the Kaduna State Security Trust Fund Bill into law. He said, “The trust fund will raise funds for the acquisition and deployment of even more security equipment, personnel, and materials, as well as the training of security personnel. “Through the efforts of the Peace Dialogue Group established by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with federal agencies and security services, peace has returned to Birnin Gwari. “On November 29, the governor reopened the famous and strategic Birnin Gwari Market, which had been closed for about 10 years, thus signaling the commencement of commercial activities. Above all, the long-abandoned Birnin Gwari Road has come back to life. Similarly, Kidandan Market in Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State, which had not been patronised for several years owing to insecurity, has been opened. Indeed, this marks the beginning of the return of peace and stability to Giwa Local Government. “Significantly, Governor Uba Sani has been embarking on massive rural development by extending infrastructure development to all local government areas, with the goal of supporting rural communities to achieve rapid economic growth and development. In this regard, the government has undertaken 68 road projects, covering a total of approximately 700 kilometers across the three senatorial districts.” The government further pointed out that human capital development is one of the pivots of the Governor Sani administration, and for this reason, it has improved access to education and revived the health sector. “So far, the Kaduna State Government has built 62 new secondary schools, comprising 39 junior and 23 senior secondary schools, across the three senatorial districts. Besides, approval has been given for the construction of an additional 50 secondary schools across the state. Upon completion, these new schools are expected to enroll over 100,000 students, further solidifying Kaduna State’s commitment to providing inclusive and accessible education for all. Also, 2,000 qualified teachers have been recruited, awaiting deployment to these newly completed schools. “In addition, the government has constructed 2,326 new classrooms, renovated 707 classrooms, supplied 30,742 two-seater pupil’s furniture, provided 3,704 teachers’ furniture, and constructed 918 VIP cubicle toilets and 51 hand pump boreholes in schools across the state,” he added. The Sani administration was also said to have placed agriculture at the center of Kaduna State’s development agenda, noting that in the last 18 months, Kaduna State has become a beacon of hope for smallholder farmers, an engine of economic growth, and a model of agricultural excellence. “Under the remarkable palliative programme, Sustainable Livelihoods through Social Interventions and Economic Empowerment, the Get Back to the Farm initiative has breathed new life into the agricultural sector. The government has distributed vital inputs—high-quality seeds, fertilizers, agrochemicals, and farming equipment—to 41,693 smallholder farmers and cooperatives across all 23 LGAs. This initiative is a game-changer for our farmers, restoring their livelihoods and driving increased productivity across the state. “Significantly, the Uba Sani administration undertook the largest free fertilizer distribution in Kaduna State’s history, with the distribution of 500 trucks of fertilizer from which 240,000 bags were given out free to 120,000 smallholder farmers. The government has also invested heavily in both mechanization and micro-mechanization of the agricultural sector. Indeed, the last time the state invested in mechanization through the procurement of tractors was in 2010, but this government has procured 12 heavy-duty tractors that can handle large-scale commercial farming and complex and difficult farming operations “Since assuming office in May 2023, Governor Uba Sani has placed a high premium on bringing succor to the poor, vulnerable, and underserved in Kaduna State. In this regard, he has been carrying out pro-poor measures to bring needed relief to Kaduna State citizens, first by signing an Executive Order on Financial Inclusion. By so doing, the governor has shown commitment to addressing the exclusion of the poor, underserved, and vulnerable from financial services and ensuring that they benefit from social intervention programs of Kaduna State and the Federal Government. “The aim is to empower people with tools like savings accounts, credit, insurance, and digital payment options, enabling them to participate in the formal financial system, manage their finances, and build economic resilience,” he added.Miami Heat president Pat Riley may have just offered the final word in the Jimmy Butler saga.

Lamb initially sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder on Nov. 3 but has not missed any of the Cowboys' first 15 games this season. "Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb's shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘Out' for the remaining two games of the season," a team spokesperson said in a statement to media outlets. "He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery." The Cowboys (7-8), eliminated from playoff contention, face two division rivals to close the season. They visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and will host the Washington Commanders in Week 18. Lamb, 25, hauled in 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns this season. It marked his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, and he may be selected to a fourth straight Pro Bowl for his efforts. Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension in August, covering the 2025-28 seasons. --Field Level Media
