March 7, 2024He stated that he was meant to go in the helicopter, but on second thought, he decided to accompany their luggage by road because the helicopter could not transport it.
According to Faleye, he decided to accompany the luggage by road to assure its safe arrival to his boss, who also agreed with him.
Speaking at the Night of Tributes for Wigwe, Faleye said, “It was a sweet journey. 11 Hours we flew from London. I remember in the middle of the air. I walked up to him. Replied and said, “Sir, how comfortable are you at night flying choppers? I’ve never done it before. The app allocation system for flying choppers, haven’t done it before, and he said this is America, they have a navigation system for flying choppers at night and I went back to my seat. And we landed. Everybody was filled with joy that we were finally almost there.
“We sat, waiting to be cleared by immigration, So coming out, we had two vans waiting, One was taking us to go aboard the chopper. The other took our luggage because they cannot go on the chopper. Throughout my years of working with him, I’ve always told myself that flying that way is not a luxury for me. I am on duty. And as they were loading the luggages. And this thought came to mind. That’s OK, you fly chopper one. One hour you are there.
“The next three and half hours, the luggage is not going to come.Will I go to bed? No. I still have to sit down and wait for those luggages to come. I’m like, so why not just go with the luggages then, get there and deliver it to him and others in the room. Like I said, I always reason in the line of duty.
“And I walked up to him. I said, Sir, I think it’s safer and secure for me to just ride and bring the luggage to you.” He said it was a brilliant idea. And I said, safe flight.”
The PA hence drove to Vegas with the bags, while Wigwe, his wife, son, and Ogunbajo took the helicopter to the same location.
Faleye attempted to call his employer and the others on the helicopter while still driving to Vegas, but none of the calls was successful.

The company, which established a presence in the South-south region of Nigeria in Awa and was inaugurated in 2017 by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has cited “unforeseen circumstances affecting our business operations” as the reason for its departure from Nigeria.
Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Limited, owned by Onur Kumral, a Turkish national, was among the numerous industries attracted to Akwa Ibom State by the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel.
A memorandum announcing the company’s exit was issued to its employees. The company had already ceased production several months ago but officially declared the end of its operations on December 31, 2022.
The memorandum, entitled “Temporary Redundancy – Service Not Needed Till Further Notice,” was signed by the Managing Director of the company, Akin Oyediran. It stated that the company had to “implement temporary measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of the company.”
In part, the memorandum read as follows: “We hope this message finds you in good health. It is with great sadness that we inform you of the challenging decision that Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company Limited has had to make due to unforeseen circumstances affecting our business operations.
“After careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of our current business situation, we regret to inform you that we must implement temporary measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of the company.
“Unfortunately, this includes placing all positions, including yours, on temporary redundancy, effective January 1, 2024. We want to emphasize that this decision is not a reflection of your individual performance or dedication to the company. The challenging business environment in which we find ourselves has compelled us to take these difficult steps. Please return all company belongings that are in your possession. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these challenging times.”

December 22, 2023FG has disbursed N25,000 each to 3.5 million Nigerians — Dr. Betta Edu
She said this on Thursday on Channels Television’s Politics Today, two months after President Bola Tinubu’s administration launched the scheme targeting 15m vulnerable households as part of moves to cushion the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.
“We have so far paid 3.5 million Nigerians N25,000 each. Of course, we are out on the field and covering another 4.5 million in the next one week so we will have altogether close to about 8 million people between now and the end of the year,” she said.
According to her, the ministry verified the first trance of the beneficiary and is still in the same process as the scheme continues. She said the list is being expanded to accommodate more people like retirees.
“A total of 480 persons are on that list. They are presently undergoing their in-person verification because if we cannot verify who you are and where you are and that you are below the poverty line, you are not qualified to be on that social register,” the minister said.
Away from the scheme, Betta Edu said the government is paying arrears to N-Power beneficiaries.
They were being owed some months’ salaries by the former President Muhammadu Buhari government.
“Presently, a payment for N-Power is ongoing; we were in the office yesterday up until the early hours of this morning, just to ensure that young people get monies which they have been owed from the last government,” she said.
“So, N-Power beneficiaries across the nation, I am sure you can attest to the fact that you are seeing your money in your accounts and this process will continue until the last person who indeed has served is being paid. And of course, all of this is being restructured to ensure that we reduce unemployment and create jobs for Nigerians.”
