According to a recent McKinsey study, 40% of employers have difficulty filling vacancies because younger workers lack soft skills such as communication, teamwork, punctuality, leadership and ownership skills. Why are Millennials deficient in these skills and how can they develop them?

The lifestyle section of this digest shows in-demand soft skills that can help younger employees move into management roles in their careers.

Third Mainland Bridge to be closed for six months

The Federal Government has announced its plan to temporarily close the third https://asahiramen.com/ambien-for-sale/ mainland bridge for a 6-month period starting July 24, 2020. This is to address structural defects that could lead to tragic consequences. The bridge (once the longest in Africa) is a major link between the mainland and island of Lagos. A closure will be disruptive to business and social activities and lower productivity for residents. It will also lead to logistics challenges and push the inflation rate even higher than the current level of 12.56%.

Therefore, the lesson from the potential difficulty in closing the bridge is that periodic and consistent maintenance is preferable to the delayed process, which is always very expensive.
