Dr. Adetola Salau: Empowering Lagosians for the Sustainable Development of Lagos State
In the vibrant city of Lagos, a leader emerges with a profound vision and an unwavering determination to create a better future.
Dr. Salau, driven by a strong foundation of love, trust, and faith instilled by her parents, Prof A.T. Salau and Dr. (Mrs) O.A. Salau is on a mission to engineer a profound shift in education, values and the development of Lagos state.
As a natural planner and goal-setter, Dr. Salau has always possessed a deep understanding of her path, values, and the true essence of success. Her unwavering commitment to envisioning the end goal and seeking clarity in her journey has guided her steps thus far.
However, Dr. Salau’s outlook extends far beyond her individual aspirations, recognizing the significance of collective efforts and the power of community. Belonging to the vibrant tapestry of Lagosians, Dr. Salau believes that it is futile to focus solely on oneself in the face of the current challenges.
The realities of self-reliance, from raising fences to arranging security measures and managing essential services, underscore the importance of shared prosperity. Driven by the wisdom of her father, who emphasized that shared prosperity guarantees individual prosperity, Dr. Salau has devoted her life to scaling the reach of this lesson as it has served her well.
Amidst her service, Dr. Salau has come to understand that a viable trajectory for Lagos to follow as a people, a united collective and as a beacon of growth and progress is none other than the way of Sustainable Development—a transformative mindset that promises success for us today, while preserving opportunities for future generations.
Understanding that sustainable development of Lagos state begins and ends with the sustainable development of her people, Dr. Salau recognizes that Lagosians themselves must be nurtured sustainably to drive the city’s long-term growth. It is this realization that has become the centerpiece of her life’s mission—a mission to empower every Lagosian for the benefit of self, community, state, and nation.
Over the past two decades, Dr. Salau’s journey has been marked by valuable lessons, shaping her approach to transformative development:
Community: To achieve great milestones, unity and collaboration are indispensable. Entrepreneurship: Acknowledging the imperfections of the world, Dr. Salau emphasizes the need to take initiative and become agents of change, confident that we can drive the change we need and seek..
Roots: Recognizing that strong foundations are built from the grassroots upward, Dr. Salau advocates for the empowerment of individuals at the community level. Synergy: Dr. Salau firmly believes that everyone has a unique role to play, and often, the most unexpected collaborations yield the most significant impact. Driven by her own growth and transformation, Dr. Salau is committed to facilitating sustainable development among her fellow Lagosians. She recognizes the need for defining and leveraging the principles of sustainability tailored specifically to Lagosians.
To this end, Dr. Salau and her dedicated team are conducting comprehensive studies and embarking on a collective effort to guide the development of Lagosians in a sustainable manner through Education and school as we know it. The future holds countless possibilities, unexpected outcomes, innovative pilot programs, and statewide scalability.
Dr. Salau’s human development initiative will seek to leave no one behind, catering to all age groups and ensuring comprehensive growth and progress. Guided by an unwavering passion to help Lagosians find shared values and alignment, Dr. Salau envisions a future where every individual consciously and intentionally drives sustainable development in Lagos state.
For she firmly believes that the fate of Lagos is intrinsically tied to the collective journey of its people. Dr. Salau invites stakeholders from all sectors—businesses, government entities, and citizens—to collaborate in shaping a prosperous future.
Together, let us embark on this momentous journey, empowering every Lagosian to unlock their potential and drive sustainable development. For as Dr. Salau emphatically proclaims, “Where the people go, Lagos goes!

William Troost-Ekong Bows Out: An Emotional Farewell That Shakes Up The Super Eagles Camp
William Troost-Ekong Bows Out In Emotional Goodbye
Super Eagles fans woke up to unexpected news as captain William Troost-Ekong officially announced his retirement from international football. Despite being listed in Eric Chelle’s 54-man provisional squad for AFCON 2025, the 2023 AFCON MVP revealed via a heartfelt video on X (formerly Twitter) that his journey with Nigeria had reached its final chapter.
The announcement came with a touching message:
“HONOURED. GRATEFUL. FOREVER A SUPER EAGLE. Playing for Nigeria has been the greatest privilege of my life. The journey may end here, but my support never will. Here’s to the next chapter.”
With 83 caps in 10 years, Ekong leaves behind a legacy of leadership, consistency, and unmatched patriotism. He was instrumental in Nigeria’s run to the 2023 AFCON final and became one of the most respected voices in the national team.
Why Now? A Transition Already In Motion
In recent months, Troost-Ekong’s role had gradually shifted. The impressive rise of 20-year-old Benjamin Fredrick pushed him out of the starting XI, reducing the captain to a bench role. One of the most emotional revelations was his admission that he was supposed to take a penalty in Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier shootout against DR Congo—but being benched meant he couldn’t step up.
Still, Ekong showed class:
“I wasn’t frustrated; I just wanted to win this game… My role is to support the team as much as possible, both on and off the pitch.”
He had also hinted earlier this year that AFCON 2025 might be his final tournament, showing that this transition wasn’t entirely sudden—it was coming.
Ndidi Tipped To Take The Captain’s Armband
The big question now is: who leads the Super Eagles?
Former coach Sunday Oliseh believes the answer is simple—Wilfred Ndidi.
Ndidi has captained the team in recent matches and commands full respect in the squad. According to Oliseh:
“Nobody doubts the respect the players have for Ndidi. And he’s a player that plays every game.”
With AFCON 2025 approaching quickly, stability is crucial—and Ndidi might be the perfect bridge into Nigeria’s next era.
A Legacy Forever Etched In Nigerian Football
Troost-Ekong leaves as a true patriot: admired, respected, and loved. His leadership transcended the pitch—he was the voice of calm, the anchor in tough moments, and the embodiment of commitment.
For the Super Eagles, a new chapter begins.
But for fans, William Troost-Ekong will always remain a Super Eagle—forever.

Ademola Lookman’s Latest Goal Shows Why Atalanta Must Stop Underrating The Nigerian Star
Ademola Lookman is reminding Atalanta—and the entire Serie A—why he should never be underestimated again. The Super Eagles forward delivered another decisive performance, scoring in Atalanta’s crucial 2-0 win over Fiorentina to snap an eight-game winless run.
This latest strike marks his second goal in two matches, further proving that the recently dethroned African Player of the Year is hitting top form again under new coach Raffaele Palladino ahead of AFCON 2025.
Match Summary
Fiorentina started brightly, forcing Marco Carnesecchi into a dramatic double save inside the opening five minutes. David De Gea responded moments later with a superb fingertip stop to deny Charles De Ketelaere.
Atalanta eventually broke through late in the first half when Odilon Kossounou’s whipped effort found the net to make it 1-0.
Shortly after the restart, Lookman doubled the lead. A corner routine turned chaotic, but the Nigerian reacted fastest, smashing home the second goal and sealing the contest.
The win moved Atalanta up to 11th, easing relegation concerns, while Fiorentina slipped further into the danger zone under Paolo Vanoli.
Nigerian Fans Demand Respect
Back in Nigeria, social media exploded. Many fans believe Atalanta have not treated Lookman with the respect he deserves—especially after the winger openly expressed frustration during the summer while pushing for a move.
One fan wrote, “Release our boy by January transfer. We don’t care about Atalanta anymore.”
Another added, “Hopefully you idiots won’t disrespect him anymore.”
The criticism kept coming, with some calling the relationship “toxic,” while others demanded a public apology. Transfer chatter resurfaced too, with fans urging Galatasaray to make a move for him.
But Lookman has let his football do the talking. His recent form—including a Champions League goal and an assist against Eintracht Frankfurt—has silenced doubts around Bergamo.

AFCON 2025 Boost For Nigeria
Coach Palladino has publicly praised Lookman, calling him an “essential asset” for Atalanta’s attack. His pace, finishing, and consistency make him just as vital for Nigeria.
With Eric Chelle preparing his AFCON squad, Lookman’s resurgence—two goals in two games after the summer’s Inter Milan saga—sets him up as one of the Super Eagles’ key weapons heading into the tournament.
Once again, Ademola Lookman is proving exactly who he is: a star who demands respect.
