Published On Jan 23, 2024 By Arun for Tata Punch EVTata’s new Punch EV makes the switch to electric more convincingThe Tata Punch EV is a small electric SUV that’s priced in the Rs 12-16 lakh. This updated design will remain exclusive to the Punch EV for almost a year, considering the facelift for the Punch petrol is scheduled for mid-2025. Like the Nexon EV, the Punch EV gets sequential turn indicators and a welcome/goodbye animation too. On the flap sits the new logo that Tata Motors is debuting with the Punch EV. The Punch EV also gets personas — Smart, Adventure and Empowered — all of which have a signature interior and exterior colour.

Many months after the Nigerian national elections and the inauguration of a fitful administration, everything appears to be in near chaos. The beneficiary of an invidious promotion to public office owes his duty or allegiance only to his appointor. Sensitive public positions have been allocated to kins, tribesmen and clients most times in utter disregard of the requirement of an underlying pre qualification for the positions or of cognate or relevant experience therefore. The nation is however the ultimate loser as she is denied the effective and efficient labour of her rigorous and shrewd body of candidates for public office. It is a moot point whether Tinubu can reverse the trend or, put differently, whether Tinubu can fight corruption.

While the Tata Punch EV is the electric version of that car, the changes are more extensive than they’ve been with previous Tata electric cars - Nexon EV, Tiago EV and Tigor EV. In simple terms, this helps the Tata Punch EV deliver ride and handling (among other characteristics) that are consistent with the petrol Tata Punch, even though it is significantly heavier. DesignThe Tata Punch EV carries forward the new Tata family look and shares front styling elements with Tata’s other SUVs. Fun fact: The platform that underpins the Tata Punch EV is capable of supporting front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive applications. Boot SpaceThe Punch electric offers the same boot space as the petrol Tata Punch - 366 litres.

For instance, retail giants like Amazon leverage customer data to recommend products, enhance user experience, and optimize pricing. Apart from improving service delivery to customers, data can also aid startups when it comes to hiring the right talents and managing employees. For example, a quick look-up of the Nigeria Data Portal’s website still lists Rauf Aregbesola as the governor of Osun State. This poor data infrastructure in the country has since trickled down to affect the private sectors of the economy. This problem has roots in the absence of proper data culture in Nigeria and the shortage of skilled data professionals who can help startups effectively collate, analyze, and interpret data.

Plateau State House of Assembly may be thrown into confusion on Tuesday as the 16 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who were sacked by the Court of Appeal have vowed to resume legislative duties on Tuesday. Addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State on Monday, the spokesman of the group, Hon Ishaku Maren, advised All Progressives Congress (APC) not to go near the House of Assembly because the Supreme Court by its pronouncement had invalidated the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which sacked them. According to him, as law-abiding citizens, they are ready to resume work to represent the people who duly elected them. “You might be aware that while we were on recess, there were two Judgments that were passed regarding the status of the state House of Assembly and Plateau State as a whole. “By that it shows that we are also referring to the same judgment that one cannot build something on nothing,” he said.

While I acknowledge the importance of addressing environmental concerns and the impact of plastic pollution in Lagos, I find the sudden implementation of this ban without a well-thought-out alternative policy deeply troubling. This decision lacks consideration for the significant investments made by manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers of these products, potentially causing severe economic implications. I believe that a more sustainable and phased-out approach should be adopted to address the environmental challenges posed by single-use plastics. Collaboration with StakeholdersEngage stakeholders, including manufacturers, retailers, environmental experts, and community representatives, to develop a holistic and inclusive strategy. Therefore, I urge the Lagos state government and the reactionary commissioner of environment to reconsider the abrupt ban and collaborate with stakeholders to develop a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to address the issue of plastic pollution in Lagos State.

The 2024 election promises to be historic as a long slate of Republican candidates seek to unseat the sitting president, Joe Biden. She ended her second term early to serve as US ambassador to the United Nations under Donald Trump before announcing her resignation in 2018. She became the first Republican to announce a run against Donald Trump, even though she previously said she would not run against him. In 2021, Elder joined a list of Republicans seeking to replace Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, in a failed recall. Back to topFormer US Representative Will Hurd, of Texas, entered the crowded primary field as a moderate and critic of Donald Trump.
