CONTINUED From the ARTICLE Oshiomhole Gets Presidential Reward Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State who has spent the last two months raucously attacking former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and casting aspersions on the Goodluck Jonathan administration has finally been rewarded by the federal government. The emperor of Edo has been pestering Okonjo-Iweala to explain all manners of completely wild and unsupported figures, ranging from $30 billion, $20 billion, $2.1 billion, N720 billion and now $1 billion. Well, he got his reward on Tuesday with Buhari asking the National Assembly to approve for his regime, a $75 million (about N15.75 billion) credit facility from the World Bank. The bank had approved a Development Policy Programme (DPP) for $225 million (about N47.25 billion) for Edo in 2012 and the programme is to be implemented in three tranches of $75 million per annum. The first tranche was approved by the National Assembly in 2012. Buhari’s letter said the DPP had since been successfully implemented by the state in 2014, and the bank’s board of executive directors approved the second tranche. What is now left is the endorsement of the federal government and the National Assembly to access the 2nd tranche. The emperor of Edo State has now jumped the Buhari hurdle, thanks to the “good job” he is doing for the regime. What I find funny in Buhari’s letter was the note that the key objectives of the DPP were already beginning to yield fruit in terms of increased influx of private investments into the state, increased private sector employment opportunities, and increased internally generated revenue. Haba! All these achieved in Edo State? I am sure that many in the state will be shocked by these assertions. |

Goodluck Jonathan policies should not be thrown away. Some are good. Govt should open a manufacturing and industrial village with 24hrs light. List items that are imported massively, train graduates on how to produce these goods for about 7mths then import machines to produce these items with technical experts from china who can train on how to use them . Three billion dollars can solve these over dependence on imports, if govt is serious. Anyone that is ready to manufacture should be entitled to single digit long term pay back loan. 1 Like |

Continued from the article Corruption Allegations against Ibrahim Shema Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has been all over, shouting that his predecessor, Ibrahim Shema stole the state dry. Masari says he has “concrete evidence’’ to drag his predecessor, before the EFCC to recover the stolen funds. The figure Masari has been parading is frightening. He is alleging that Shema had misappropriated over N76.6 billion collected as excess crude oil allocation and diverted over N7.5 billion into his private pocket. He also alleged that Shema and other top government officials connived and faked used receipts to divert over N750 million earmarked for spending on drugs for local government councils. The list of alleged atrocities is so long. Masari wants Shema to return the “loot”; else, he would be dragged before the EFCC. But, surprisingly, Shema has only responded saying that he was being blackmailed. This is not good for his image. Not providing facts and figures at this point in time to back his denials is dangerous. The nation is waiting to hear Shema’s story backed with facts. As for governor Masari, if you have your facts as claimed, please put them before the EFCC. There is no point showboating. Governor Ikpeazu and the Ukasoanya Challenge A Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees member from Abia State, Chief Tony Ukasoanya has mentioned a frightening figure which he alleged that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu collects monthly as Security Vote. He puts it at “close to N1 billion”. This figure is apparently ridiculous. The second story in town on the issue is that Ikpeazu takes home N500 million monthly as security vote. The challenge now is for Ikpeazu to tell the good people of Abia State how much he collected in June and July as Security Vote. He must be transparent in this direction. Then, two, if Ikpeazu is really interested in developing Abia State as he claims, he must immediately stop this illegality called Security Vote and leave the ignominious club of governors who are duping their states through this illegality. |

Great article. Instead of adopting cosmetics measures to upgrade the value of the naira, the government should take advantage of the current inflation rate to consolidate and boost Nigeria's manufacturing capacity. Nigeria's goods will be more competative against our international rivals. There's no point revaluing the naira when the entire economy is import dependent. The more Nigeria produce and exports, the better for the economy, and the fastest way to make Nigeria an economic power house is Real Economic Federalism. Unless there's a deliberate policy aimed at decentralising economic activities within the country by way of Real Economic Federalism where every state in Nigeria will have total access and control of their God given resources to develop at their own pace while contributing little to the centre, Nigeria will continue to wallow in Mono Economic Syndrome. |
