[b][/b]IEYDA Empowerment; MM Sponsors two students from Secondary School to University

Education, which is the bedrock of development and best legacy a leader could bestow on his people, appears to be the topmost priority of Hon. Mashood Mustapha fondly called MM, the Special Adviser to the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Intra-Parliamentary Relations, Protocol Matters and Special Duties.

It was an amazing moment when Hon. MM made public his intention to be funding the education of two students from secondary school to university level annually, starting from this year 2017, during the 2017 empowerment programme by Ilorin Emirate Youths Development Association (IEYDA) at Emir's Palace, Ilorin today. The peak of the excitement of the people who were in attendance on the lifetime gesture was when he brought out a sum of one hundred thousand naira for the acquisition of Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and preparatory classes for the two maiden beneficiaries. Apart from this, he also promised to be supporting the association with ten UTME, ten NECO and ten NABTEB forms annually.

Record has it that as a man who epitomizes education and human capacity development, he had hundreds of home and abroad scholarship students, empowerment and career job beneficiaries while representing Asa/Ilorin West Federal Constituency at the seventh House of Representatives Abuja and as an aide to the Senate President. In fact, some of those scholarship beneficiaries are still in some European countries till the moment.

It's also an important educational achievement to count that Hon. Mashood Mustapha ICT Centre located at Hiwanu LGEA School, Kuntu Ilorin, has been catering for not only the people of Asa/Ilorin West but entire indigents of Ilorin Emirate since 2013 in terms of free internet services, computer training, online registration, CBT training and so on at "NO COST". However, this particular centre has trained more than a thousand Kwarans on computer literacy.

As a pride of Ilorin Emirate who is keenly interested in the development of his town through industrial and infrastructural development, he paid homage to the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, in his palace as the Emir prayed vehemently for him immediately he left the empowerment venue.[b][/b]

Power at all cost lead to what they are doing

Paris Club Refund; Akwa Ibom State got N14BILLION

The Federal Government had released the sum of N388.304 billion out of N522.74 billion

to 35 states as refunds of over-deductions on London-Paris Club loans.

Topping the list of states with the hugest reimbursements are states controlled by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), contrary to their claims that they were being financially oppressed by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The biggest earners include Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Katsina, Kaduna, Lagos, Imo, Jigawa, Borno, Niger, Bauchi and Benue states.

But the reimbursement profile has shown that some governors fed their states with wrong figures of the sums given to them.

Investigation conducted by our correspondent revealed that 35 of the 36 states benefitted from the refunds of N388.304 billion.

Although most of the governors have begged the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, not to make the list of reimbursements public, The Nation was able to source the breakdown of the reimbursements exclusively.

The document indicated that all the 35 states were credited with their shares of the N388.304 billion as at December 27, 2016.

Our correspondent obtained the names of the bank, the account and the account numbers where each state’s share was remitted.

Only Kano State and the FCT have so far not benefitted from the reimbursements.

According to the list, Kwara State got two types of refund totaling more than N9.188 billion.

Kwara’s shares include N5,415,167,236.97 refund to the state government and N3,773,082,953.54 for its 16 local government areas.

Findings also confirmed that Ondo was only paid 50 per cent of its refunds (N6,513,392,932.28) because of leadership change in the state, which will soon lead to the inauguration of Chief Rotimi Akeredolu as the new governor.

A breakdown of the list of top beneficiaries of the refunds is as follows: Akwa Ibom, N14,500,000,000.00; Bayelsa, N14,500,000,000.00; Delta, N14,500,000,000.00; Kastina, N14,500,000,000.00; Lagos, N14,500,000,000.00; Rivers, N14,500,000,000.00; Kaduna, N14,362,416,363.24; Borno, N13,654,138,849.49; Bauchi, N12,792,664,403.93; Benue, N12,749,689,453.61; Sokoto, N11,980,499,096.97; Osun, N11,744,237,793.56; Anambra, N11,386,281,466.35; Edo, N11,329,495,462.04; Cross River, N11,300,139,741.28; Kogi, N11,211,573,328.19 and Kebbi, N11,118,149,054.10.

The document said: “Ondo payment represents 50 per cent of the refund due to transition of leadership in the state. Further instructions are being awaited on balance payment.

“Adamawa, Kwara 22b on the list, Oyo and Taraba payments represent the portions due to the respective local governments.”

But the Presidency was uncomfortable with the attitude of some state governors to the management of the refunds.

Responding to a question, another source in government said: “It is unfortunate that some state governors under-declared the refunds made to them.

“Some of them were also discovered to be giving spurious analysis in order to cover up the actual figures.

“In fact, some states changed the agreement overnight.

“A state said the President asked states to use at least 25 per cent of their London and Paris Club refund to offset salary arrears.”

Investigation showed that about N134.44 billion out of the approved N522.74 billion will soon be paid as refunds to some states.

The top government source added: “Yes, as at December 27, 2016, all the 35 states had received the N388.3 billion refunds. The balance of N134.44 billion will soon be accessed.”

Following protests by states against over-deductions for external debt service between 1995 and 2002, President Muhammed Buhari had on December 2, 2016 approved the release of N522.74 billion to states as refunds pending reconciliation of records.

Each state is entitled to a cap of N14.5 billion being 25 per cent of the amounts claimed.

But the government has raised a team to scrutinise claims by states and reconcile with available records.

These developments were contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the Special Adviser on Media to the Minister of Finance, Mr. Festus Akanbi.

The statement said: “The Federal Government has reached a conditional agreement to pay 25% of the amounts claimed subject to a cap of N14.5 billion to any given state. Balances due thereafter will be revisited when fiscal conditions improve.

“Mr. President’s overriding concern is for the welfare of the Nigerian people, considering the fact that many states are owing salaries and pension, causing considerable hardship.

“Therefore, to ensure compliance with the directive that a minimum of 50% of any amount disbursed is dedicated to this, funds will be credited to an auditable account from which payments to individual creditors would be made. Where possible, such payments would be made to BVN linked accounts and verified.”

But any state paid refunds in excess of its outstanding claims might suffer deduction from its monthly allocations from the Federation Account.

It said: “Due to the fact that reconciliation is still ongoing and the final outcome might show an under or overstatement of claims, an undertaken has been signed by state governors, declaring that in the event the amount already paid exceeds the verified claim, the surplus would be deducted directly from the state’s monthly FAAC allocations.

“The total amount approved by the President is N522.74 billion and is to be paid in batches. The first batch of N153.01 billion is currently being processed for release to 14 state governments.

“The release of these funds is intended to support the fiscal stimulus programme of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to provide direct stimulus through government spending. It is particularly aimed at boosting demand at consumer level and reversing the slowdown in economic activity.”

Nice job by the honourable member of the state house of assembly
