Kisumu county in Kenya was yesterday turned into a vibrant hub of culture and celebration as it hosted the much anticipated FESTAC Festival 2024.
The event, which began on August 26, will run until September 1, 2024. The opening ceremony of the weeklong event took place at the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium and was attended by several dignitaries, including ex-President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo; former Kenya Prime Minister, Raila Odinga; and Governor of Kisumu County, Anyang Nyong’o, among others.
Landlords and property owners in the Odeyale area of Ona Ara Local Council whose houses were affected by the construction of the Circular Road have appealed to the state governor, Seyi Makinde, to fulfil his promise to compensate them. Commuters along the busy Mararaba to Abuja city centre road were stranded yesterday following a gridlock caused by flooding after a heavy downpour.
