Senators yesterday said they discovered N16billion ‘frivolous’ items in the power wing of the ministry of Power, Works and Housing under the supervision of Babatunde Raji Fashola. This was revealed when the Minister of State for Power, Mustapha Baba Shehuri appeared before the Senate Committee on Power. Senator Adamu Aliero (APC, Kebbi) drew the attention of his colleagues to the items saying, two budget items amounting to N16bn appeared in both the power ministry and Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). An analysis of the main budget of the power ministry showed that N4bn was allocated for Kashimbilla transmission on page 47 and N12bn for counterpart funding for transmission lines and substation projects on page 48. He said “The N4bn and 12bn appeared on TCN budget when they came to defend their budget. Why are you presenting the same now? The figure is misleading.” Responding, the minister said it was the same budget but Abaribe interjected saying, “No minister, the figures are separate. We have the budget of TCN.” Vice Chairman of the committee, Bukar Mustapha (APC, Katsina) said: “What Aliero mentioned is truly worrisome. Kashimbilla budget has nothing do to with the ministry. There are many, this has been the problem of the power sector...” The Senators also raised issues on budgetary provisions for the purchase of vehicles that appeared in three places amounting to N768million. Not satisfied by the minister’s response, Abaribe adjourned sitting and said a comprehensive list of the issues raised would be sent to the ministry ahead of a new date. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/budget-n16bn-padded-in-fashola-s-ministry--senators.html

The Nigerian Military has denied the claim by United Nations humanitarian agencies in Nigeria that four of their staff were killed in an ambush by insurgents in Borno State at the weekend while conveying food to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In a statement on Monday, the Military through Operation Lafiya Dole’s Deputy Director Public Relations, Col O. Nwachukwu said the report grossly misrepresented the true situation of the incident as none of the casualties in the encounter has been identified as a staff of the UN. “In setting the record straight, it is necessary to state here that a patrol escorting a convoy of civilian vehicles to Logomani encountered an ambush staged by elements of Boko Haram insurgents at Maula village along Dikwa-Ngala trans sahara highway which resulted in a firefight between troops and the insurgents. “The troops however, fought through the ambush, overpowered the insurgents and killed six of them. The troops also captured 3 AK 47 rifles, 3 locally fabricated fire arms, 4 magazines and a belt of 7.62 mm ammunition. “Sadly four persons died in the encounter. Although none of the persons killed in the ambush has so far been identified as a staff of the UN, this Headquarters considers the lives of all citizens and indeed all humans sacrosanct, which must be protected by troops even at a supreme price,” the statement said. The Military said the situation has been brought under control and further exploitation of the general area is currently being carried out by Mobile strike Team of Operation Lafiya Dole. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/nigerian-military-denies-reports-of-killing-of-un-staff-in-borno.html
