The Osun State government has commenced the rehabilitation of Cooperative College, Ode-Omun.

The Commissioner for Cooperatives and Empowerment, Prince Bayo Ogungbangbe made this known when he visited the school for an inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of the college.

“The rehabilitation of the Cooperative College signifies the administration’s dedication to providing accessible and high-quality educational opportunities for the people of Osun State.

“The revival of the Cooperative College aligns with the government’s objective of empowering the youth through education and skill development,” he said.

Ogungbangbe emphasised the pivotal role institutions like Cooperative College play in fostering growth, empowering communities, and driving sustainable development.

He urged the people of Osun State to support Governor Adeleke’s administration in its efforts to revitalise the educational sector, and emphasised the positive impact the initiative will have on the youth, the community, and the state as a whole.

The Federal Competition and Consumer and Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed up an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce.

The FCCPC officials shut the supermarket when they stormed the premises on Monday. The commission’s officials sealed up the place after interrogating Nigerian workers at the supermarket.

Earlier on Sunday, Nigerians had expressed outrage over a discriminatory policy implemented by the Chinese Supermarket which restricted entry exclusively to its citizens and barred Nigerians.

The facility manager of the complex Shaibu Sanusi confirmed that Nigerians from outside the complex do not shop but Nigerians within can access it.

While the supermarket remains shut, the consumer protection agency seems to believe that some people are hiding inside in a bid to avoid confrontation with the agency.
