Ogbomosho, Oyo state - Professor Funmilayo Nihinlola Osuolale of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho, Oyo state, has said renewable energy is presently unexploited in Nigeria. Speaking on Thursday, December 5, at the institution's 61st inaugural lecture attended by Legit.ng, Prof. Osuolale said if expertly explored, the value of renewable energy is “more than enough to meet Nigeria’s demands”. Professor Razaq Kalilu, the vice-chancellor (VC) of LAUTECH, chaired the event. Legit.ng reports that Nigeria faces many challenges in its energy sector. Among others, the energy crisis is caused by various factors such as funding problems, energy loss, inadequate budgetary provision, corruption, leadership crisis, poor maintenance and neglect of projects, lack of technical skills, infrastructural decay, and gas shortages. Amid the stumbling blocks, Prof. Osuolale offered hope during the event in Oyo state .

An estimate of about two million, five hundred thousand gigawatts of renewable energy can be available in a year if judiciously harnessed from potential renewable energy sources in the country. “The projected amount of energy demand of our nation by 2030 is 45 gigawatts. The value of renewable energy left unexploited is more than enough to meet the energy demands of the country. Universal energy access in Nigeria should not be a mirage but an attainable reality.” Furthermore, the don explained that from time immemorial, renewable energy from biomass was the main source of energy generation. Noting that the country has an “abundance of biomass”, she pointed out that “the paradox” is the traditional use of biomass which is less efficient and oftentimes, injurious to human health. Prof. Osuolale added: Read also Prophet Arayomi shares 2025 prophecy as he speaks on 'God's revelation' “If Nigeria is to achieve its target of increasing energy generation capacity in the country, converting biomass to energy is one of the answers.” Born in December 1974, Osuolale earned her Bachelor of Technology and Master of Technology degrees in chemical engineering from LAUTECH, in 1998 and 2006 respectively. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy degree at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun state . In 2015, she earned her second PhD in Chemical Engineering, with specialisation in process modelling and optimisation from Newcastle University, United Kingdom (UK). Having joined LAUTECH as a teaching assistant in 2004, she rose through the ranks to professor in 2022.

Source: Legit.ngSyrian President Bashar al-Assad oversaw a merciless crackdown on a pro-democracy revolt that morphed into one of the bloodiest wars of the century. After facing down nationwide protests demanding his ouster and an armed rebellion that he all but crushed, he had until this month taken back control of much of Syria in the civil war that began in 2011. Quiet in his demeanour, Assad is a political survivor who for years excelled in his alliance-building with Russia and Iran, and who knew just how to present himself as Syria's only viable leader in the face of the Islamist threat. But since November 27, an Islamist-led rebel offensive has wrested from Assad's control city after city, including Aleppo and Hama for the first time since 2011, leaving his grip on power severely under threat. Assad has cast himself as the protector of Syria's minorities, a bulwark against extremism and the sole possible purveyor of stability for the war-ravaged country. In multiple votes held over the years, conducted solely on government-held territory, he has taken the vast majority of the ballots, amid accusations from Western countries that the wartime elections were neither free nor fair. In appearance, whether in person or in the many portraits of him in the capital Damascus, Assad has typically eschewed military garb, opting instead for a sharp-cut business suit and sober tie. In official meetings, during interviews and even on the frontlines, the 59-year-old ophthalmologist by training conducts himself calmly and can almost appear timid. Behind the facade, however, is an astonishing ability to hold onto power amid multiple waves of violence and transformative change in Syria and the wider region. One journalist, who met with Assad on several occasions before and after war broke out in 2011, told AFP the president is a "unique and complex figure". "Each time I met him he was calm... even during the most difficult moments of the war," said the journalist, who declined to be named. Assad has "the same qualities" as his father, Hafez al-Assad, who ruled Syria for nearly three decades until his death in 2000, the journalist said. "In politics, it's important to know how to shuffle cards, not just how to arrange them," he added. "Assad has mastered the shuffling game." Hafez al-Assad, head of the Syrian Baath Party, imposed in the country a secretive, paranoid regime where even the slightest suspicion of dissent could land one in jail or worse. Bashar al-Assad was never meant to become president, but his life changed radically when his older brother Bassel, who was being groomed to inherit power, was killed in a road accident in 1994. Bashar quit his studies in ophthalmology and left London, where he had met his wife, Asma, a British-Syrian and Sunni Muslim who worked for financial services firm JP Morgan. Back home, he took a course in military studies and was tutored in politics by his father. When the latter died, Bashar became president by referendum, running unopposed, then winning a second term in 2007. Sworn in at the age of 34, Assad was widely seen by Syrians pining for freedoms as a reformer, who could do away with years of repression and introduce economic liberalisation. In the early days, Assad would be seen driving his own car or having dinner at restaurants with his wife. He relaxed some of the heavy restrictions that existed under his father. But his initial image as a reformer quickly evaporated as authorities arrested and jailed academics, intellectuals and other members of what was then known as the Damascus Spring movement. When the Arab Spring reached Syria in March 2011, peaceful demonstrations broke out calling for change. Assad, who is also commander-in-chief of the armed forces, responded by ordering a brutal crackdown on the protesters and civil war swiftly ensued. Throughout the war, which has killed more than 500,000 people and displaced half the population, Assad's position has not changed. He has been the subject of countless cartoons by dissident artists depicting him as a killer, not least in the aftermath of the 2013 chemical attacks on rebel bastions around Damascus. A Syrian researcher in Damascus, who asked to speak anonymously over security concerns, said: "Assad's personality played an undeniable role in his survival." His "persistence and rigour" were especially important in helping him "consolidate decision-making powers, and secure the army's full support", he added. Throughout the war, Assad has enjoyed military backing from staunch allies Iran and Russia, who helped him score a string of military victories. Since the start of the Islamist-led rebel offensive on November 27, Assad has echoed his long-held stance that the conflict in Syria is machinated from abroad. "The terrorist escalation reflects the far-reaching goals of dividing the region and fragmenting the countries in it and redraw the map in line with the objectives of the United States and the West," Assad said on Monday. He is the father of three children. His wife, Asma, was dubbed a "rose in the desert" by Vogue magazine before the revolt. bur/ser/jhbonline super game 。

Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris canvasses at a Christmas market at Rathfarnham Parish Hall, Dublin (Image: PA Wire/PA Images) There is “all to play for” in the Irish General Election, Taoiseach Simon Harris has said, despite polling numbers that suggest support for his Fine Gael party is on the slide. Backing for Fine Gael has slumped by six percentage points, according to the latest poll. Mr Harris’s party now trails both Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein , the Irish Times/Ipsos B&A survey indicates. Fianna Fail leads the way on 21% in the latest poll , up two points on the last survey by the paper two weeks ago. Sinn Fein is on 20%, up one, while Fine Gael is on 19%, down six points since the November 14th poll. Ireland goes to the polls on Friday. READ MORE: Simon Harris says ‘entirely possible’ there will be Irish unity in his lifetime READ MORE: Mary Lou McDonald tells students their best years will be in a united Ireland A Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks poll published at the weekend still had Fine Gael in the lead, on 22%, however it also recorded a sharp drop in support for the party, down four points on the paper’s last poll. The Sunday Independent poll had Sinn Fein on 20%, up two points, and Fianna Fail unchanged at 20%. Asked on Monday if he was on the back foot in the campaign, Mr Harris told RTE’s Today With Claire Byrne show: “I fully accept that this is a three-race tie. “There’s three parties all on roughly 20% across a number of published polls. It is all to play for. “Not one vote has been cast. And I’m humbly asking people to lend me and lend Fine Gael their number one vote, because we have a plan. We have the funding to deliver that plan.” Mr Harris said the crucial takeaway from the polls was the potential implication for forming a “stable” and “coherent” coalition government post-election. The last coalition saw Fine Gael and Fianna Fail form a historic coalition, with the Green Party serving as a junior partner. “We don’t need six months, seven months, eight months of navel gazing,” he said of the prospect of lengthy negotiations and wrangling to form a government. “We’ve got to be able to hit the ground running, whoever is going to be in government, and on these numbers if would be tricky for anybody.” Monday’s poll, which was carried out between Thursday and Saturday, comes after Mr Harris apologised over the weekend after criticism of his handling of an encounter with a disability care worker while canvassing in Kanturk in Co Cork on Friday. The Taoiseach was accused of dismissing concerns that Charlotte Fallon raised about Government support for the disability sector, during the exchanged filmed in a supermarket. Mr Harris rang Ms Fallon on Saturday and said he unreservedly apologised for the way he treated her.

I know what it’s like to be in a family where you feel isolated, where you feel let down, where you fight for services. And, on that issue, of all issues, I am so passionate about it.” Mr Harris added: “I don’t think fair people and decent people, and that’s what people right across this country are, will judge me on 40 seconds on a Friday evening. “I think they’ll judge me on my record. They’ll judge me on what I’m going to do over the next five years, what I want to do, what Fine Gael wants to do, and the plans that we’ve put forward to, for once and for all, fix and rectify disability services. “That is my burning desire. It’s something that I’ve prioritised since becoming Taoiseach.” The clip from Kanturk is one of several incidents that have put Fine Gael under pressure during the election campaign, including comments made by Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary about teachers, in the first few days. Mr O’Leary was criticised for saying at a Fine Gael candidate launch that he would not hire teachers to “get things done” , which drew laughs and cheers from the gathered party faithful. There has also been a furore over whether senator John McGahon should have been selected as a Fine Gael candidate for the Louth constituency. Mr McGahon was found not guilty of assaulting a man outside a Dundalk nightclub in a criminal case two years ago, but a High Court civil action earlier this year found him liable, and he was ordered to pay damages. On Monday, Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin said many votes remain to be won in the coming days. Asked about the latest opinion polls, he said he does not get “excited” about them. “When you say I’m not a polls man, that was probably the most accurate statement you’ve made in the sense that we’re still all around 20-odd percent, give or take,” Mr Martin told reporters in Dublin. “You can go up or down 2% so I’m not getting in any way excited about these polls. “We would have always felt that the three parties, Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein, were in about the 20s. But the real poll is on (Friday). “There is a degree of volatility there. “There’s a lot of votes to be won yet, and there are a lot of issues on the doorstep.” He said the days before polls open will be “very challenging”. “I’ve experienced this before the last election and so on, when the last number of days can be crucial in terms of maintaining clarity on the message, and there’ll be attempts made all wrong to confuse the situation, but we’re very clear that we have a lot of work to do.” Mr Martin also said addressing issues in the disability sector was a priority for his party. On coalition permutations, he said a government comprising more than three parties would be very challenging to manage. “I think it would be very challenging,” he told RTE. “I’ve led with three parties, with the Green Party, Fine Gael and ourselves, and that was complex, challenging, but we did it. “And I’ve always said, by the way, from the outset of the campaign, that my sense was it would be a three-party coalition government of some form after this general election, it’s very competitive.” Responding to her party’s ratings in the latest opinion poll, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald said she had met “zero per cent of people” with any confidence in Fine Gael or Fianna Fail’s ability to address Ireland’s acute housing shortages. Ms McDonald told the Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk: “The great beauty of the campaign is that you get to be out and about everywhere, talk to people. “I have met zero per cent of people with any confidence in Fine Gael or Fianna Fail sorting the housing crisis. “I have met countless people who are chilled at the idea that Fianna Fail would say out loud they should have the housing ministry again. “I think people looked at that prospect and said there is no way on God’s green earth that we can tolerate or endure another five years of failure from Fianna Fail or Fine Gael.” With regard to the smaller parties, Monday’s poll has the Greens on 4%, up one; Labour on 4%, down one; Social Democrats on 6%, up two; People Before Profit on 3%, up one; and Aontu on 3%, no change. Independents (including the Independent Ireland party) are on 17%, down three percentage points. In terms of personal favourability, Mr Harris’s popularity is down from 50% to 46%, while Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin is on 44%, down one point. Ms McDonald is unchanged on 31%.

Q3 Sales and operating results better than guidance Q3 Sales increase of 7% represents sequential improvement for the fifth consecutive quarter Raises full year 2024 outlook and provides fourth quarter guidance REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria’s Secret & Co. (“Victoria’s Secret” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSCO) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended November 2, 2024. Chief Executive Officer Hillary Super commented, “I am very encouraged by the strength of our third quarter business and the positive, early customer response to our holiday merchandise assortments. Sales increased 7% for the quarter, with mid-single digit growth in North America and 20+% growth from our International business. Our sales performance was well ahead of our expectations, and our best quarterly sales growth since 2021. Our strength for the quarter was broad based across all regions, all channels, all major merchandise categories and importantly all brands - Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me - were up to last year. We won the major moments during the quarter, starting with PINK back to campus in August, followed by our VSX sport launch in September and finishing the quarter with the return of the VS Fashion Show in October. I am particularly optimistic because these results were powered by emotional products she loves and clear, elevated brand marketing and storytelling. Our strength in sales and disciplined inventory management translated to strong margins which were up to last year, and our teams continue to be relentless on controlling costs in our business. I want to thank our VS&Co team whose passion for our brands and commitment to our customers and our transformation fueled these results. It was a great quarter for me to have joined the company and a great quarter to be on the VS&Co team.” Hillary continued, “We are excited to see our momentum from the third quarter continue through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Our merchandise offering and giftable product assortments are resonating with the customer and driving traffic both in stores and online. The strong product acceptance supported by our best-in-mall store experience and dozens of digital enhancements are driving solid conversion and basket size. As I travel with the teams, I have observed that our stores are often the busiest in the mall and am particularly impressed with how we continue to serve and engage our customers.” Third Quarter 2024 Results The Company reported net sales of $1.347 billion for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 7% compared to net sales of $1.265 billion for the third quarter of 2023 and above our previously communicated guidance range of a net sales increase of low-single digits. Total comparable sales for the third quarter of 2024 increased 3%. The Company reported a net loss of $56 million, or $0.71 per share for the third quarter of 2024. This result compares to a net loss of $71 million, or $0.92 per share for the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 operating loss was $47 million compared to $67 million in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of the items described at the conclusion of this press release, third quarter 2024 adjusted net loss was $39 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, which was better than our previously communicated range of an adjusted net loss of $0.60 to $0.80 per share and better than last year’s third quarter adjusted net loss of $66 million, or $0.86 per share. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating loss of $28 million was favorable to our previously communicated guidance of an adjusted operating loss in the range of $40 to $60 million, and last year’s third quarter adjusted operating loss of $60 million. Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2024 Outlook The Company is raising its full year outlook and is now forecasting net sales for the 52-week fiscal year 2024 to be up approximately 1% to 2%, compared to prior guidance of down approximately 1%, to a comparative 52-weeks from fiscal year 2023. The Company estimated the extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023 represented approximately $80 million in net sales. At this forecasted level of sales, adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2024 is now expected to be in the range of $315 million to $345 million, or favorable to prior guidance of $275 million to $300 million. The Company is forecasting net sales for the 13-week fourth quarter 2024 to increase approximately 2% to 4% to a comparative 13-weeks from the fourth quarter of 2023. At this forecasted level of sales, adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be in the range of $240 million to $270 million. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024 is estimated to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.30. Forecasted adjusted operating income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 exclude the financial impact of purchase accounting items related to the Adore Me acquisition, including expense (income) related to changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and performance-based payments, as well as the amortization of intangible assets. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted operating income or adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of, and quantifying, the various purchase accounting items that are necessary for such reconciliation.

TEHRAN – A joint military exercise, codenamed "Aras Joint Exercise," has commenced between Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Ground Force and the Azeri Armed Forces. The large-scale drill, involving special units and elite divisions from both nations, marks a substantial step in enhancing security cooperation and strengthening counter-terrorism efforts between Iran and Azerbaijan. The four-day exercise, which began on Sunday, is taking place in the challenging high-terrain regions of Aslanduz County, situated within Iran's northwestern Ardabil province. Rapid reaction units from both the IRGC Ground Force and the Republic of Azerbaijan's military are actively participating in the collaborative maneuvers. The current joint military exercises are a direct outgrowth of prior discussions between high-ranking military officials from both countries. On November 19, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and Major General Farid Aliyev, an Azeri commander, met in Tehran for the fourth meeting of the Joint Commission on Military and Defense Cooperation. During the meeting, General Ashtiani and General Aliyev engaged in comprehensive discussions concerning various aspects of military cooperation. These discussions explored diverse avenues for strengthening the military relationship between Iran and Azerbaijan. General Ashtiani highlighted the significant and influential role of the Republic of Azerbaijan within Iran's foreign policy, emphasizing the direct impact of developments in the South Caucasus region on Iran's national security. In response, General Aliyev advocated for closer cooperation between Baku and Tehran to ensure regional peace and stability, explicitly praising the ongoing joint military exercises as a prime example of the positive interaction and cooperation between the two countries.The five-part series will debut globally on December 10, following elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.
