Published

News is something that we can’t live without. It’s the foundation of our society, and it helps us stay informed about things that are happening around the world. But with so many news sources available, how do you know which ones to trust?

Nowadays, people prefer news over any other topic. They expect the latest and most searched topics to be updated in real-time. If you have no idea about updating news, this article is just for you as it provides a step-by-step guide on staying updated with trending news.

Subscribe to News Websites

One of the most effective ways of being updated on trending news is subscribing to online news sites. Most news websites are free; therefore, getting news on trending things worldwide is a no-brainer. You can access it on your phone or computer, and it’s available in different languages worldwide.

The websites also offer a wide range of options for customizing the stories displayed in each section, and you can choose whether they’re based on the location of interest. They will help you get links to different articles from different publishers that will aid you in keeping tabs on all the trending occurrences worldwide without breaking a sweat; all you have to do is stays connected to the internet.

Listen to Podcasts

If you’re looking for a way to stay informed and up-to-date with the latest news, podcasts are an excellent option. Podcasts are an easy way to listen while doing chores or driving in your car, and they can provide valuable information about topics that interest you.

Podcasts give you access to experts who speak about their areas of expertise in an informal conversational style. They often include extra content like interviews with other experts on related topics.

For example, suppose something specific is happening in your community. In that case, subscribing to this podcast may help fill in some gaps about what’s happening around town.

Subscribe to Social Media Accounts

Social media accounts are a great way to keep up with everything trending, whether you want news happening within your locality or you want to know whatever is going on in the whole world. Social media accounts like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are among the popular accounts that can give you all the information you need about what is happening worldwide.

The only requirement is to sign in to whichever account you want and follow other influential people and news accounts to ensure that you receive the news as it happens. The only secret about these accounts is that you have to set notifications on and, if possible, set them as a priority on your devices so that you get uninterrupted news even when you are not using the app.

However much news you can get from social media, not allare credible. Some accounts are known for spreading false information, especially fake ones. Therefore, ensure that you get your information from a reliable source, and if possible, you can follow popular sites and have been verified by the social media account.

Read Topics You’re Interested In

If you’re interested in a topic, it’s important to know what’s happening. The best way to keep up-to-date with news is to read up on your favorite topics.

Browse blogs related to your interests, such as blogs written by other people who share their passion for something similar, as well as Google News which contains links from major newspapers and magazines around the world, providing daily updates from all over.

It’s important to diversify your news sources so that you get a variety of perspectives on the story. For example, suppose there are two sides to a story, and one side is more popular or has more power than another. In that case, it may be wise to listen to those who agree with your political beliefs and those who disagree with them and vice versa!

Join Groups on LinkedIn

LinkedIn groups are a great way to stay updated with trending news. You can find groups specific to your interest or even related to your business. For example, if you’re in the beauty industry and like getting informed about the latest beauty products, there’s a group for that! Or maybe you like celebrity news and want to be updated every time? You can still find one in the groups.

You can also create your group and share the group link to invite those of similar interests. This way, you can gather together and share information as they happen. Anybody with the info can post on the group or share it personally with you so that you continue getting updated.

Attend a Conference, Virtually or in-Person

Social media conferences are a great way to get a treat of trending topics in the world. On the other hand, not everybody has all the time to attend these conferences. However, still, you can access these conferences via social media live and still have the same experience as the person who went in person to the event.

Conferences are exciting if they are related to what your interest is. Every conference or event has hashtags that you can use to follow the happening from your devices. All you need to do is be updated on the hashtags.

Print Media and Television Shows

If you’re looking for a way to stay on top of the latest news and up-to-date with what’s happening worldwide, check out print media. Print media is great because it’s usually more visually appealing than online content. You can also read it in your car or at work, so it’s perfect if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi and don’t have time to spend online.

TV shows are also excellent for people who want more information about certain topics like politics or current events and for those who want something entertaining and fun to watch while getting their news fix.

Conclusion

With so many articles, videos, and other entertaining material being uploaded on YouTube and other news outlets, it’s easier to keep yourself entertained. But with such an influx of information, it can be easy to lose track of what’s trending and what is not. Thankfully, there are several ways to stay updated with trending news, so you’ll never miss the latest craze or trending video sensation.

Ogolo said apart from the ?4billion, the government has also made available fertilizers and other farm inputs to farmers in the various local government areas.

 

The Permanent Secretary who is the Chairman, State Steering Committee for the project, said RAAMP will construct roads that will connect farms to markets to enable farmers and fishermen sell their farms produce and fishes.

 

He also said rural roads would be constructed to farms and fishing settlements, and warned against any act that will lead to the cancellation of the projects in the four local government areas.

 

According to him, the World Bank and Federal Government which are the  financiers of the programme will not condone such acts like kidnapping, marching ground and other acts  inimical to the successful implementation of the projects in their respective areas.

 

At PHALGA, Ogolo asserted that the city will benefit in the areas of roads and bridge construction.

 

He noted that RAAMP was thriving in both the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja; Lagos and other states in the country, stressing that the project should also be given the seriousness it deserves in Rivers State.

According to him, both fishermen and farmers will maximally benefit from the programme.

 

At Ngo which is the headquarters of Andoni Local Government Area, Kpakol said roads will be constructed to all remote fishing settlements.

 

He said Rivers State is lucky to be among the states implementing the project, and stressed the need for the people to embrace it.

 

Meanwhile, Kpakol said at PHALGA that RAAMP is a project that will transform the lives of farmers, traders and other stakeholders in the area.

 

He urged the stakeholders to spread the information to their various communities.

 

However, some of the stakeholders at Opobo town complained about the destruction of their farms by bulls allegedly owed by traditional rulers in the area, as well as incessant stealing of their canoes at waterfronts.

 

At Ngo, Archbishop Elkanah Hanson, founder of El-Shaddai Church, commended the World Bank and the Federal Government for bringing the projects to Andoni.

 

He stressed the need for the construction of roads to fishing settlements in the area.

 

Also, a former Commissioner for Agriculture in the state and Okan Ama of Ekede, HRH King Gad Harry, noted that storage facilities have become necessary for a successful agricultural programme.

 

Harry also stressed the need for the programme to be made sustainable.

 

In their separate speeches, the administrators of Andoni and Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Areas, pledged their readiness to support the programme.

 

At Port Harcourt City, the Administrator, Dr Arthur Kalagbor, represented by the Head of Local Government Administration, Port Harcourt City, Mr Clifford Paul, said the city would support the implementation of the programme in the area.

Tinubu Orders Civil Service Personnel Audit, Skill Gap Analysis 

Published

on

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the commencement of personnel audit and skill gap analysis across all cadres of federal civil servants.

The president gave this directive in Abuja, yesterday, while speaking at the International Civil Service Conference, reaffirming his resolve to achieve efficiency and professional service delivery in the civil service.

“I have authorized the comprehensive personnel audit and skill gap analysis across the federal civil service to deepen capacity. I urge all responsible stakeholders to prioritize timely completion of this critical exercise, to begin implementing targeted reforms, to realize the full benefit of a more agile, competent and responsive civil service,” the president announced.

Tinubu further directed all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), to prioritise data integrity and sovereignty in national interest.

He called for the capture, protection and strategic publication of public sector data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act of 2023.

“We must let our data speak for us. We must publish verified data assets within Nigeria and share them internationally recognized as fruitful. This will allow global benchmarking organisation to track our progress in real time and help us strengthen our position on the world stage. This will preserve privacy and uphold data sovereignty,” Tinubu added.

President Tinubu hailed the federal civil service as the “engine” driving his Renewed Hope Agenda, and the vehicle for delivering sustainable national development.

He submitted that the roles of civil servants remain indispensable in modern governance, declaring that in the face of a fast-evolving digital and economic landscape, the civil service must remain agile, future-ready, and results-driven.

“This maiden conference is a bold step toward redefining governance in an era of rapid transformation. An innovative Civil Service ensures we meet today’s needs and overcome tomorrow’s challenges.

“It captures our collective ambition to reimagine and reposition the civil service. In today’s rapid, evolving world of technology, innovation remains critical in ensuring that the civil service is dynamic, digital” the President said.

Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack in her welcome address told the President that his presence and strong words of commendation at the conference has renewed the morale and mandate of public servants across the country.

Walson-Jack described Tinubu as the backbone of driving transformation in the Nigerian civil service, and noted that the takeaways from past study tours undertaken to understudy the civil service in Singapore, the UK and US under her leadership, is already yielding multiplier effects.

Walson-Jack assured Tinubu that her office, in collaboration with reform-minded stakeholders, will not relent in accelerating the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan, FCSSIP 25.

She affirmed that digitalisation, performance management, and continuous learning remain key pillars in strengthening accountability, transparency, and service delivery across MDAs.

Walson-Jack reaffirmed that the civil service is determined to exceed expectations by embedding a culture of innovation, ethical leadership, and citizen-centred governance in the heart of public administration.
