“The programme, an exclusive creation of Prokonnect Limited, is designed to put smiles on the faces of parents and students, promote high ethics in journalism, give back to the society in positive measures.

“The major thrust of the programme is the segment, ‘My Conscience’ that will see us working with Principals and Teachers in Public Schools to identify and select extremely brilliant indigent students that we can offer partial scholarships from our partners and sponsors (made up of corporate bodies and illustrious individuals).

Agboola, who has had stints with Eko FM, Ovation Magazine, Thisday Newspaper, Daily Sketch and Nigerian Tribune also volunteered that “in addition to this segment, we also have others like ‘Chat with Mr Parrot’, Events’ Corner’,  ‘Social Media Watch’ and others.

“We are proud to announce here that we also have a segment that will be dedicated to professionals in the media industry. We will use it to celebrate ourselves – at least, if nobody will celebrate us, we have a right to celebrate ourselves through the segment called ‘Celebrating the Professional’ every week”.

The Ibadan-based publisher also used the opportunity to disclose that “all the major radio stations in the South West of Nigeria will have the opportunity of hosting the programme with time. It is our own way of giving back to the society. It will run once a week and will be broadcast in Yoruba and English languages for one hour.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.

Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.

Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.

This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.

A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.

Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
