Meet the 12 CFP Title Contenders: No. 12 Clemson
Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural and Riverine Roads), Charles Aniagwu has said the state is among the first sets in the country to pay the new minimum wage as far back as October 2024. Speaking on a live television programme monitored in Asaba with the theme ‘Developments within the sub-nationals year 2024 in retrospect’ at the weekend, Aniagwu said Delta is not among those that are still delaying to meet with their commitment. According to him, “When the federal government agreed with labour on the need to implement a N70,000 minimum wage, our government made it very clear that as soon as that was settled, we were going to proceed to begin implementation. “So we are not among those that are still procrastinating. We are not even implementing just N70,000. We are implementing far above that. “We are not saying we are going to implement because as for the salaries that were paid last month, our people have already received the minimum wage right from October. So we have started implementing. “So we are not among those that are having challenges with their workforce. We always have the cooperation of our labour force in Delta. “Governor Oborevwori who is very labour-friendly, has even before the argument around wage increase, because of the hardship that was triggered by certain pronouncements at the federal level already kick-started a number of policies aimed at ensuring that our workforce is taken care of and that the challenges triggered by some of those policies are mitigated.” On health care delivery, Aniagwu said the Oborevwori administration was working on over 150 health centres even as the 64 general hospitals in the state are receiving a facelift. This is in addition to the establishment of a new teaching hospital in Ozoro. “We have been able to get the National Universities Commission to accredit a number of programmes including the introduction of Medicine at the Delta State University of Science and Technology in Ozoro. “So we are now building a College of Medicine that will be able to cater to the needs of the medical students that will have to attend that institution in Ozoro. “We have also taken a look at some of the other health needs such as increased medical personnel, the shortage of medical personnel no thanks to the japa syndrome. “So much has been done in the health sector, i had the privilege of laying the foundation stone on behalf of my Governor for the College of Health Technology at Ovrode in Isoko North Local Government Area. “This is to address the issue of medical personnel shortage so that we’re able to also train more in addition to those that will graduate from our university and those who also come in from outside the shores of our state for the purpose of advancing our healthcare.” On the empowerment of Deltans, Aniagwu said over 220,000 have been trained and empowered through D-CARES and other MDAs. He said, “In terms of empowerment being anchored by the Ministry of Economic Planning, over 220,000 persons are already empowered through the D-CARES programme where we advance some form of grants to these persons to be able to enhance their businesses. “In other instances some other persons are trained like what we had with the Ministry of Women Affairs two weeks ago where the governor had the opportunity to present starter packs to individuals that have been trained.” On enhancing peace and security, Aniagwu said Governor Oborevwori hosted the Inspector General of Police who was in the state on a working visit. “Governor Oborevwori donated over 33 Hilux vehicles to the police and other security agencies to enhance security in the state. “One thing that is working for us here in Delta by the grace of God is that our people are also seeing that the governor means well and is putting their money to where they expect it to be. “Hence we’re getting a whole lot of support from them which is why the amount of peace we enjoy today you need to go to Warri, you need to come to Asaba and see the amount of development that is taking place. “This can only be possible on the atmosphere of peace and tranquility, that peace and tranquility is one thing that exists in Delta. we have nightlife and many other persons are coming in because they believe that in Delta their investment is safe and so the return on investment in Delta today is something that will quadruple in a very short while.” ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE Delta govt proposes N936.08bn for 2025 fiscal year Get real-time news updates from Tribune Online!

Winter jackets are one of those fashion items that, in our professional opinion, are worthy of a financial investment. and extreme cold are part of the package deal that comes with living in Canada, so anything that will protect you from the elements — especially those that can last for months on end — shouldn't be spared. If you found last year's coat lacking, there are plenty of great new options to . And since there's nothing like word of mouth to instill confidence, we've gone door-to-door (by that, we mean pinged our work Slack chat) to find out what the team is wearing this winter. To see — including puffer packets, sherpa coats, parkas and vests — in 2024-2025, check out our picks below. Quick shop: Best women's winter jackets in 2024-25 Bala Parka Lolë Boreal Down Jacket Knee-Length Parka with Removable Faux-Fur Hood Down Short Puffer Jacket The Long Puffer Shop the Canada Goose Bala Parka in black and white. Is Canada Goose's Bala Parka expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Undoubtedly. If you are looking for a wear-everywhere jacket that combines style with extreme warmth, this is it. Simply put, it's one of the best jackets I have ever owned or worn. It's rated between -15°C to -25°C and having worn it on a -20°C day with only a T-shirt underneath, I can promise you, it lives up to its claims. It has a flattering belted A-line silhouette and its collar reaches high enough to keep the lower half of your face warm and out of the wind. The Bala Parka features generously long rib-knit cuffs that lock in heat should you lack gloves and is designed with two well-sized exterior pockets and a roomy interior pocket that can fit your keys, wallet and phone. It's an A++ coat — if you only want one winter jacket, this is it. My only critique of the Bala Parka is I find the zipper can be quite sticky. You might need to play around with it to zip it up or down, which can be inconvenient Shop the Boreal Down Jacket in five colours. Lolë's Boreal Down Jacket checks all of my winter coat boxes — let me tell you why. First (and most important!): it's warm! The coat is rated for temperatures between -10 to -20°C, so unless you reside in one of our country's northernmost cities, it should keep you warm. Second: it's colourful. Now, there is a black option for this jacket, but I am a big fan of wearing colour, especially in the winter. IMO, nothing is more depressing than a sea of black jackets on a gloomy day. If you feel the same, I think the ombre purple style is too cute to boot. Third: it has all the features you want in a winter coat. There are zippered pockets, an adjustable hood, a hidden ski pass zipper and it's waterproof — a win-win! While the Lolë Boreal Down Jacket is warm, I don't know if it's -20°C-warm — at least without some serious layering underneath. That said, I feel the same way about most winter jackets, so if you don't run as ice-cold as I do, you may feel differently. Shop this knee-length coat in two colours: rosin (pictured) and black. I genuinely hate being outside in the winter, but this knee-length parka makes everything a little more bearable. It keeps me extremely toasty on the most bitterly cold days, and I love that it has storm cuffs that prevent chilly air from sneaking up my sleeves. One of my favourite things about the coat is that it has snaps on the sides around the thigh area. I drive a lot, so being able to unsnap them lets me sit comfortably and not feel constricted. My only complaint about this parka is the hood. When I have it on, it comes down past my eyes, which is very annoying. That being said, the hood is detachable, so I usually just keep it off. One thing to note: the jacket is meant to be knee-length. I'm 5'2" and it goes past my knees which isn't a problem for me, but something to keep in mind if you are looking for a certain length! RW&CO reviewers call the mid-length sherpa coat "super warm and stylish." I would file RW&CO's Sherpa Coat in the category of: "chic winter jackets to wear in mild weather." I love the look and fuzzy texture of the sherpa jacket, especially if you want a break from a classic puffer or parka style. The coat has a nice weight to it, so it's a stylish (and practical!) pick for evenings out, going to the office and any mild-weathered festivities. While the sherpa coat is a stylish pick for mild weather, I wouldn't recommend it for ultra-cold or windy days. The three toggles are the only way to close the coat, so the cold can easily sneak in between the toggles or the long stretch of fabric at the bottom. If you drive everywhere or don't spend a lot of time outside, it's nice to have on hand, but I wouldn't count on it for anything colder than -10°C. The Roots Down Short Puffer Jacket will keep you warm in style. If you're like me, you're probably sick of seeing a steady stream of black and navy parkas every winter. This year, I wanted something a bit more fun, and this floral puffer fits the bill. This puffer is extremely lightweight but super cozy, and details like fleece-lined pockets, an adjustable corded bottom and a removable hood make it as functional as it is stylish. Roots says this parka can withstand temperatures up to -25°C — and while I haven't yet been able to test it in that temperature (phew!), it's been more than warm enough for early December in Toronto. My current puffer colourway is out of stock, but Roots has some updated colours (which just so happen to be on sale) for 2024. While I love the shorter length of this jacket, it's not for everyone — if you're looking for a bum-covering coat, this isn't it. That said, I've got my eyes on this . This stylish packable puffer doubles as a travel pillow. If you live in a warmer climate, like Toronto or Vancouver, this is a great option for days between 0-10°C, especially if you're travelling during the holidays. I recently went on a and this lightweight, packable puffer was an absolute lifesaver when biking 40-50 kilometres a day in 7-8 degree rainy weather. It's insulated with 100 per cent recycled PET bottles and folds into a travel pillow that or fits over your suitcase handles. I ended up wearing it at least 12 of the 14 days I travelled, and the travel pillow came in handy for the long-haul flight. This jacket is quite a bit more pricey than some packable puffer alternatives, so if it's out of your price range, — and both sell that ring in under $100. And since it's only suited for temperatures above 0°C, I definitely wouldn't recommend it for those bone-chilling winter days. Shop the Garnet Cropped Puffer in four colours. Canada Goose's Garnet Cropped Puffer is suited for wear between 0°C to -15°C, making it perfect for late fall and early winter. I live in southern Ontario, so it's an excellent choice for the milder weather we (usually) have. Plus, I love, love, love that it has a high collar! Aesthetically speaking, I am team scarf, but in reality, I prefer to walk out the door without an armful of winter accessories. Another bonus: the puffer has zippered pockets, which I always appreciate. I only have two real qualms with the cropped puffer, the first being that, while I think the cropped style is cute, it does let in quite a bit of wind in the back. The second: it doesn't have a hood, so you always need to bring a toque when it's nippy outside. My Columbia jacket is my absolute favourite any time temperatures drop below 10°C. : I have a previous version of the Arch Rock Double Wall jacket, but even after a couple years of use it's still my most-worn jacket between the months of November and April. It's the perfect weight to wear outdoors once temperatures start to fall below 10°C, and it does a great job protecting against wind, rain and snow. My favourite things about this jacket are the lightweight insulation that adds warmth without bulk, and the longer rear hemline that covers your bum — even while sitting. : While I love this jacket for fall and early spring weather, it's not the best option for temperatures below -5°C in my opinion. For spending really cold days outdoors, I'll reach for a heavy full-length puffer jacket instead. The Long Puffer also pairs well with novelty hammers. This puffer has been a workhorse in my winter wardrobe for 4 years now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. While this is the "long" version of Everlane's sustainable puffer, it hits more mid-thigh which makes it easy to pair with everything from jeans to dresses. It's toasty — I wear it most days during December to February — and also features large front pockets which give it a functional edge. Another great functional feature? The front zipper doesn't go all the way to the bottom, which means you can sit comfortably even when zipped up. I sized down from my usual size and can still comfortably wear a sweater underneath. If you don't like an oversized style, this isn't the coat for you. One other downside? I hate this coat's hood — it's too small, IMO. If you're known to go sans toque in the winter you'd probably be fine, but getting the hood to fit over a hat is a struggle for me. The Rhoda Hooded Vest is my pick for a stylish yet functional vest this winter. : As all Canadians know, winter weather can be unpredictable here. That's why in addition to a lightweight coat and a heavy puffer, I'd been eyeing a vest to complete my winter wardrobe. This one from Canada Goose fits the bill as it offers plenty of warmth thanks to 750 Fill Power duck down, but more mobility than a heavy winter coat — ideal for winter driving. The oversized fit and wrap neckline also add an unexpected style element that you don't often see in outerwear. : Unsurprisingly, the cost of this Canada Goose vest is its biggest negative. However, if you're on the fence about whether or not to invest in the brand's outerwear, a protects against defects in materials and workmanship for years to come. This MEC jacket features a cozy insulated hood and high collar — does not feature various bathroom renovation items pictured. I received this jacket for Christmas last year after dropping numerous hints that I wanted a sportier winter coat. I've worn this for everything from snowshoeing to weekend dog walks, and it's also stood up well during some serious snowfall. The insulated hood and high collar, as well as elasticized sleeves and shock cord hem, keep the heat locked in even on the most blustery days. Last year's blue version that I have is sold out, but I'm eyeing this year's Wild Berry purple, which is currently on sale. Honestly, I'm pretty hard-pressed to find something negative to say about this jacket, but my one complaint is that I find the storm flaps get caught in the zipper pull more often than I'd like them to, especially on the pockets. But it's a good excuse to keep my phone tucked away and enjoy whatever I'm doing. The Wunder Puff Long Jacket comes in three colourways. For the past 10 years, I've turned to a for the most bone-chilling winter days. While it still gets the job done, it was starting to look a bit worse for wear, so I decided it was time for something new. I wanted a long puffer that would keep my legs warm, and this doesn't disappoint. While I haven't had a chance to wear it in truly frigid temperatures yet, I have a feeling it'll become my go-to for cold, snowy days. I have the classic black colourway, but if I was buying again I think I'd snap up the jacket in this stunning . I've lovingly dubbed this my "sleeping bag jacket" — and while it's definitely the most stylish sleeping bag I've ever seen, it's worth keeping in mind that this coat is . I'm around 5'4" and it hits mid-calf on me. While this is exactly what I wanted, it might not be what you're looking for — and I wouldn't recommend if you're under 5'2".
