Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, yesterday, commended Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, for working with Nigeria’s military on mental health.
Sanwo-Olu made the remarks when Harry and Meghan paid a courtesy visit on him at the Lagos House, in Marina.
Prince Harry, accompanied by his wife, Meghan, is on a three-day visit to Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014.
Addressing newsmen after a closed door meeting with the two, Sanwo-Olu said: “We are honoured to receive them (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) at the Lagos House, Marina.
“We are excited about the ideas and what they are planning to do, especially with the office of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and his wife, Mrs Lilian Musa.
“For Prince Harry, it has been a very interesting and informative trip to the country.
“He has seen a lot. And part of the things we are hoping he will take away is the diversity and extent of how big our country is, how we continue to ensure that we live together in peace and harmony, and what role Lagos plays in the whole conversation.
“They have been to Kano, Abuja, and now Lagos. I am sure they have their own experience of what Nigeria looks like.
“We have extended an additional invitation to them that they can always come back when they want to.
“We are indeed happy for what they are doing, especially for our military men, on the conversation around mental health issues and how they can galvanise their various NGOs to ensure that people who require their support, both in the military and private, can seek that support.
“Mental health issues are all around us. Denial and stigmatisation are some of the things we talked about.”
Abuja Electricity Distribution Company has finally announced that it has restored electricity supply to State House, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Lugbe, Garki, and other areas in the nation’s capital after an outage.
AEDC disclosed this in a notice on Saturday night.
Recall that major parts of Abuja were thrown into darkness due to the Transmission Company of Nigeria’s Apo substation fault.
TCN had on Saturday issued an update noting that its engineers were working to fix the fault.
In a notice later on Saturday night, AEDC announced electricity supply has been restored to affected areas.
“Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) is pleased to inform our esteemed customers that power supply has now been restored to affected feeders following the successful restoration of the 100MVA Transformer (TR3) at the Apo Transmission Substation by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN),” AEDC stated.

Bandits killed three worshippers and kidnapped 15 others during a vigil at a church prayer ground on the outskirts of Ikiran village in Ekiti LGA, Kwara State.
The attack happened around 8:30pm on Saturday at Ori-Oke Ajaiye, a remote worship centre where members of Ijo Ajaiye Ati Igbala were holding prayers.
Kwara State Police Command confirmed the incident on Sunday.
Spokesperson SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi said Pastor Adebayo Abiodun reported that gunmen stormed the vigil, opened fire on the congregation, and dragged several people away to an unknown location.
Police from Ekiti Division were deployed immediately after the distress call.
State Commissioner of Police Ojo Adekimi has ordered a coordinated rescue operation involving tactical teams, intelligence units, the Police Mobile Force, and the police drone unit.
Calling the attack “barbaric and unacceptable,” Adekimi assured residents that security agencies are working to rescue the victims and arrest the attackers.
“The command is fully committed to ensuring the safe rescue of all abducted persons and bringing the perpetrators to justice,” he said.
Officers have started bush-combing operations and intelligence gathering across nearby communities to track the bandits. Residents have been urged to stay calm and share credible information to aid the investigation and rescue effort.
