[BREAKING] $1bn not for anti-Boko Haram war alone, Osinbajo says
Published December 19, 2017


Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

VIce-President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday said the much-criticised $1bn that state governors asked the Federal Government to withdraw from the Excess Crude Account was not meant for the fight against insurgency alone.



He said the sum was meant for all security challenges being experienced in all the states of the federation.


Osinbajo gave the clarification at the opening of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation/Secretaries to State Governments’ retreat at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

It will be recalled that the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Abdulaziz Yari, had, at a meeting of the National Economic Council last Wednesday, announced that the governors had asked the Federal Government to withdraw $1bn from the ECA to fight insurgency.

The decision had attracted criticisms from groups and individuals, including the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

But Osinbajo explained that the governors resolved to approve the money for national security after a national security summit organised by the National Executive Council about two months ago.

He said the summit considered various security challenges across the country, including kidnapping, small arms trafficking, terrorist activities of Boko Haram in the North East, clashes between herdsmen and farmers, as well as cattle rustling.

The Vice-President said, “It was on account of the security summit that the governors at the Governors’ Forum subsequently decided that they would vote a certain sum of money, which has become somewhat controversial, the $1bn, to assist the security architecture of the country.



“It was to assist all of the issues in the states, including policing in the states, community policing, all of the different security challenges that we have.

“It was after the security summit that the Governors’ Forum met across party lines –again, I must add — in order to approve and to accept that this is what needed to be done to shore up our security architecture.”

Osinbajo’s explanation was, however, in contrast with the statement made by the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, while addressing State House correspondents at the end of the NEC’s meeting.

Obaseki was clear in his presentation that the $1bn was approved for the fight against insurgency.

He had said, “Pleased with the achievements that have been made till date in the fight against insurgency, particularly in the North East, the governors of Nigeria through their chairman announced at the NEC meeting that the governors have given permission to the Federal Government to spend the sum of $1bn on the fight of insurgency.

“This money is supposed to be taken from the Excess Crude Account.

“As you know, the issue of security, particularly with regard to the North East, is a very comprehensive response by federal forces.

“So, we expect that the contribution of the states to these efforts will cover the whole array of activities required to secure the country and counter insurgency.

“We expect that the amount will include but not limited to purchase of equipment, procuring intelligence and logistics and all what is required to ensure that we finally put an end to the scourge of insurgence.”

Why are flat headed jews so confused?

shervydman:
u didn't show me fact, schmuck!....u only posted an article in a hurry without checking it first-hand. simply because u wanna massage ur deflated ego.

raker300:
Mehn..thanks for this publicity this thread is bringing to many Igbo made products.

Our people lack the sense of advertisements..I dunno why.

Many companies don't even mention their owners and CEO's

This massive aluminum company here in enugu that develops building padding a don't even have a website but many of their products are being used in Nigerian buildings

InyinyaAgbaOku:
You people should quit replying afonjas on this thread nah

This is not about ethnic superiority or your ethnic headache, this is about lies and fraudulent claims so go away with your tribal and ethnic fixation.

dannytoe:
Fashola is trying, but he should shield off some ministries. To allow efficiency, and stop forming super minister.

Nikbaebrown:
Who Else Noticed The Governors Of Delta And Edo State Respectively Weren't Present At The Meeting Of South- South/South-east Coalesce aimed at promoting unity, inter-state relations and economical growth I'm Sure Okowa Knws It Would Be Disrespectful and grotesque To harness Delta Into Any unauthentic and romantically incorrect union, especially one that has ulterior motives, because its a Misrepresentation Of Delta's political Identity and history.

wanimo:
The truth is very bitter. Igbos even after they were left with only £20 after the civil war have become very rich through hard work and enterprise. The own 70% of Nigeria. From the South to the north to the west. No wonder Arewa Youths out of hatred and envy are eagerly waiting for abandoned property.

However, this is not 1967....this is 2017. We shall achieve Biafra through a referendum, come back to Nigeria as foreign investors and continue to dominate. Person wey pass person pass am

oruma19:
for the first time ever i will have to abuse Osinbajo. its like the mumu spirit behind the presidential seat has taken over him. all the free money u get from oil, u have not used well, u have the guts to demand for tax.. come and collect na.. foolish nigerian leaders

AnambraDota:
Anambra State need to ban Okada, open satellite towns to decongest cities, bring in more long buses and Danfo but face out onu azu.

The services sector need to be paid more more more and serious attention.

Ozubulu deserve an industrial estate, then a dry port is very important.

Anambra see more containers than Kaduna but the later have gotten inland port, let's leave the politics and work to have ours.

deomelo:
The losers have been poising since 1909


The jokers in one breath want us to believe that they own everything in Nigeria, that they are the smartest, that they are the richest, that their villages are the most developed places in Nigeria while in another breath want us to believe that they are marginalized



Confused losers..

bakynes:
Tribal politics or not it doesn't make sense for an easterners to come to the west to be first Minister. The truth is that for an easterners like Zik even trying to be leader of the western region shows the hospitable nature of the Yorubas.

Aegon:
Rudolf Explained it all. The Igbo are hated in paradoxes just like the Jews according to Rabbi Kalman Packouse. You blame the massacre of the Igbo in Jos of 1945 because of a coup that happened in 1966?

But the search for a good Igbo man is not entirely futile. The likes of Sunday Oliseh, Rochas Okorocha and Joe Igbokwe come to mind.

Shoutout to the bleaching cream this local failure has been using.

by the time you elite realize the reality it will be too ate for you. if all the federal institutions scrap out today which region have the financial capacity to employ their own indigene sacked?
