Stolen, diverted public funds must be accounted for – FG

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo said public resources that were looted in the past few years in the country would be accounted for by those involved. Osinbajo stated this today in a nationwide broadcast to mark the second anniversary of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. He said that accounting for the funds had become imperative in view of the determination of the administration to bring persons accused of corruption to justice. According to him, funds appropriated to build roads, railway lines, power plants, and to equip the military, that have been stolen or diverted into private pockets, must be retrieved and the culprits brought to justice. “We believe that the looting of public resources that took place in the past few years has to be accounted for. “Many have said that the process is slow, and that is true. Corruption has fought back with tremendous resources and our system of administration of justice has been quite slow. “But the good news for justice is

President Buhari Scores High on Security

The Young Democratic Party (YDP) on Monday commended President Muhammadu Buhari-led government for the achievements recorded so far in addressing security challenges confronting the country. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mrs Khairat Animashaun-Ajiboye, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the party also scored the government high in its anti graft war. “This administration scores very high in its fight against the insurgents. “The combined efforts of the military to dislodge insurgents in their stronghold, return of 106 Chibok girls, reclaim of our territories and reduced bombings nationwide had redeemed the hope of people from the North East. “The increased sense of responsibility of our gallant soldiers and the renewed professionalism, retraining and retooling of the military is indeed commendable,” Animashaun-Ajiboye, added. She, however, called for viable short term programmes to aid the integration of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) back

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter

Rivers @ 50: The Vision, The Struggle

Rivers first cabinet in 1971 with Gen Gowon. In Nigeria’s political and economic history, Rivers State is revered in the comity of states that constitute the Nigerian Federation. Perhaps, that is why torrents of encomiums and congratulatory messages from individuals and corporate organisations have continued to flood the state  to mark the state’s Golden Jubilee anniversary. From the North to the West, to the East and indeed down to the common man, the encomiums have been tremendous, overwhelming and phenomenal. The state, perhaps, may have never witnessed such phenomenal applause since its inception on May 27, 1967. In more sense than one, Rivers State in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, is unique. Popularly known as the Treasure Base of Nigeria, the state’s uniqueness is not without basis or justification. The abundance of human and natural resources coupled with the hospitality of its people, among other considerations, make the state to stand out shoulder high among its contemp

Wayne Rooney is England’s record goalscorer with 53 goals and their most capped outfielder with 119 appearances © AFP / Miguel RIOPA LONDON, United Kingdom, May 25 – Wayne Rooney’s international career looks over after England’s all-time top-scorer was Thursday left out of the squad for next month’s World Cup qualifier against Scotland and a friendly in France. The 31-year-old striker has lost his place at Manchester United and was similarly omitted from Gareth Southgate’s England squad announced in March, although he was carrying a knee injury at the time. Fit-again Rooney, who made a brief appearance in Manchester United’s Europa League final win over Ajax in Stockholm on Wednesday, had hoped to end his international career by captaining England at next year’s World Cup in Russia. But this now looks an increasingly forlorn hope for Rooney, England’s record goalscorer with 53 goals and their most capped outfielder with 119 appearances for his country. His United career coul

Civil Rights Lawyer Tunji Abayomi Warns Osinbajo Against Signing 2017 Budget, Vows To Sue National Assembly

Lawyer and pro-democracy activist, Mr. Tunji Abayomi, has warned the acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, not to sign the 2017 budget into law and advised him to initiate a public interest litigation against the National Assembly for increasing the budget submitted to it for approval by the President. Mr. Abayomi’s position was made known in a letter to the acting President. Dated 23 May, the letter described the decision of the federal legislature to increase the budget by an estimated N143billion as unconstitutional and a reboot of the “primary source of conflict between the Executive and the Legislative arms of government” since the country returned to civil rule in 1999. The pro-democracy activist noted that the National Assembly is empowered by the constitution only to approve the budget, not to create a budget head, insert projects in the budget, increase the budget…
