FORWARDED AS RECEIVED

Assuming PDP is still rulling and oil price crashed from $140/barrel to $40/barrel...

Then Dasuki keeps on distributing arms' funds to Bafarawas, Metus etc...

Boko Haram keeps on occupying more LGAs in the northeast...

Patience still saves millions of dollars in her multiple accounts...

Soldiers keep on running away from the battlefield...

Asari keeps on receiving millions of dollars for guarding oil pipes...

Ayo's private jet is being used to carry millions of dollars in the name of buying arms from Israel...

we keep on having incessant explosions in churches, mosques,motor parks and markets...

TSA and BVN are still yet to be implemented...

BELIEVE ME THE COUNTRY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ONLY IN RECESSION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN OBLIVION! I LIE?

DEPRESION

After 8 years of APC rule, it won't hurt for another party to be given the chance to show what they can do better.

Hope your shock absorber is in good condition, if not, I sincerely advise you to have it refurbished before February 2015 when Jonathan will be reelected by many sane Nigerians. Tell your fellow supporters of APC there's no vacancy in Aso Rock till 2019.

hope yours is more than intact cos the biggest shock awaits you.

LAGOS—Governor Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State has
written to President Goodluck
Jonathan over the legality of the
Subsidy Reinvestment and
Empowerment Programme and
Federal Road Maintenance
Agency, SURE-P/FERMA task
force and for occupying the old
toll gate axis of the state without
observing due process.
Babatunde Raji Fashola
Fashola disclosed this yesterday
while addressing police officers,
businessmen and others, at the
Eight Town Hall meeting on
security, themed, “Maintaining
our collective resolve in fighting
crime,” held at the City Hall,
Lagos Island axis of the state.
The new development came after
barrage of attacks from the state
government and the All
Progressives Congress, APC on the
SURE-P/FERMA task force, which
was expected to commence
operation before the end of this
year, 2014.
The governor who spoke at the
event organised by the Lagos
State Security Trust Fund,
LSSTF, lamented that the
presence of the SURE-P/FERMA
task force without any
Government official accounting
for their presence showed the
laxity in the central government
plan to fight insurgency.
He said: “I have written to
President Goodluck Jonathan and I
want action to be taken
immediately. This is because when
you gather people like that,
without any clear mandate, it is a
worrisome assembly.”
“And lately, they (SURE-P/FERMA
taskforce) brought out their
responsibilities and they said that
part of their responsibilities was
to manage the federal highways.
And one would ask, what happens
to the Federal Road Safety Corp,
FRSC. They also claim that they
would be controlling the erection
of advert billboards. But that was
a local government responsibility
in the country.
“It is obvious that little regards is
paid at the centre to the ‘broken
window’ theory, a theory that
propounds that small acts
disrespect for the law,
unaddressed over a long period
will ultimately snowball and lead
to a brea

Jonathan hails Federal Task force
Posted on September 26, 2014.
Presidential Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan during his visit to PDP
rally at Tafawa Balewa Square in
Lagos commended the National
Coordinator SURE – P/FERMA
Federal Task force, Alhaji
Abdulrazak Rafiu popularly known
as Otto, for his effort in
assembling members of the force.
The President while commending
the Officers in their full capacity
of about 15,000 officers on
ground, said he was very delighted
and happy with the effort of the
cordinator. In a statement signed
by the National Director of
Publicity of the SURE – P/FERMA
Federal Task Force, Olawale
Oyeboh, the National Coordinator,
said his men were on ground to
build up a security wall of defense
for the President as a way of
showing appreciation, dedication,
and full loyalty. Adding that in
respect of the recent approval
that his men are to maintain and
manage traffic on all Federal
roads across Lagos State. Otto
said he is excited with the
commendation from the president
which he revealed was only
achieved through hard work and
perseverance .
He also noted that he was
delighted that the SURE – P/
FERMA Federal Task Force has
come to stay and would resume
operation anytime from now
immediately after the P.O.P
Parade from their newly approved
Head Office at Stack Yard Ijora-
Olopa, Lagos – State. It would be
recalled that Otto some time ago
disclosed that the Federal
Government of Nigeria decided to
set up the Federal Task Force
because of its awareness of
sufferings of youths in the state
and as such assist the state. He
added that president Goodluck
Jonathan has even made an
attempt to help the state
personally but the government of
Lagos state has not giving him the
opportunity to do so. He noted
that the SURE-P Task force has
been in existence for the past 3
years as a lega

Vacate Federal Roads
Immediately ,FERMA Orders
LASTMA
As it gears up to take over traffic
management on all federal roads, the
Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment
Programme (SURE-P)/FERMA Federal Task
Force has directed the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority (LASTMA) to vacate
all federal roads in the state. It said any
attack on his men may spark a row with
the Federal Government.
It said LASTMA should respect the 2004
court ruling which said that its jurisdiction
do...es not extend to federal roads in the
state.
Speaking in his office last week, the National
Coordinator of the Task Force Alhaji
Abdulrazak Rafiu-Otto, said LASTMA should
allow his officers and men to perform the
duties for which they were employed. He
stated that the men’s duties were the
management and maintainance of traffic
across all federal roads in Lagos and the
recovery of all Federal Government
properties and infrastructure in the state.
Rafiu-Otto, who insisted that the Task Force
has nothing against LASTMA, appealed that
the latter stay off federal roads and
concentrate efforts of its officers and men
to ridding the state roads of the traffic
gridlock that is intractable in the state. He
said his agency would be willing to
collaborate with LASTMA in the overall
objective of riding the state of gridlocks.
Wondering why the state government
would raise a false alarm on the activities of
his men, Rafiu-Otto said the agency was
not illegal, as it was created by President
Goodluck Jonathan as part of the SURE-P
initiative which has provided jobs for
thousands of Nigerian youths.
He said there is no truth in the allegations
that the Task Force is a band of political
thugs recruited to prosecute the 2015
election, saying such claims was aimed at
causing violence and confusion.
He said “The officers recruited by the
Federal Task Force are not thugs, but
unemployed graduates and adults looking
for a means of livelihood and they all
appreciated that the empowerment is
already yielding fruits.” He wondered why
the Federal Government has not ejected
them from its premises at the old toll gate
site if they were illegal.
He said arrangements are almost
concluded to have President Jonathan
inaugurate the Federal Task Force and
deploy them to all federal roads across the
country.
“This would be perfected in a matter of
weeks. What we are all waiting for is the
necessary basic support from the Nigeria
Police, the Department of S

National Coordinator of Subsidy
Reinvestment and Empowerment
Programme (SURE-P) and the Federal Road
Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Federal Task
Force, Alhaji Abdulrazak Rafiu Otto, on
Monday in Lagos, raised the alarm over the
ongoing sale of fake employment forms to
innocent unemployed youths across the
country in the name of the government
agency.
Raising the alarm, the national coordinator
stated that some fraudulent people had
started selling the fake forms to unknown job
seekers, promising them employment in the
establishment, adding that the forms were
currently being sold in Kogi, Kwara, Oyo,
Osun, Edo and Delta states.
Contrary to the position of those behind the
sale of the fake forms that recruitment would
hold across the country, Otto explained that
the commencement of activities of the
establishment would initially be limited to
Lagos, before extension to the South-West
and other parts of the country.
While warning those behind the illegal sale to
desist from the act, he assured that anybody
caught in the illegal act would be made to
face the music, saying: “ the Sure-P/FERMA
Federal Taskforce created to manage traffic
on federal roads and to recover stolen federal
government property is known for its
standard, discipline and loyalty in the
discharge of its federal duties. Hence,
anything contrary to this is unacceptable.
“As it has been brought to our notice that
some unknown public individuals have been
trying to dent the good image of the newly
established Sure-P/FERMA Federal Taskforce
by indulging in some fraudulent acts like the
selling of the Sure-P/FERMA Federal Taskforce
forms in other states like: Kogi, Kwara,
Ibadan, Osun, Edo, Delta.

@hayjaycity .you are just an attention seeking loud mouthed and arrogant psycho !who do you think you are?a superstar?get a life!

you are such a pathetic sadist!

prettythicksme:
I don't even know when i go disvirgin#waiting for the lucky dude!!!

for your mind!

@hayjaycity you claim to know everything but going through your post i think its needless engaging you in any kind of arguement.but MR KNOWITALL" it is called CONCURRENT" not RECURRENT.moreso i dont think you understand what i ws trying to say i guess you are a slow learner.what i meant ws does the federal govt need legislative backing to employ into FERMA or SURE P. remember these are already existing agencies recognised by the constitution.besides what is happening in toll gate according to the law is recruitment into existing agency(FERMA) to be funded by sure p under its social safety net programme.moreso you said traffic control is under the concurrent list.i.e both the federal and state govt can legislate on items in this list.but i want to ask you,when there is clash of interest between the federal and state govt in the concurrent list which one is upheld?

@hayjaycity.i respect your views but i think you need to be enightened.
-does the constitution recognise sure p and ferma
- does the federal govt need legislative approval to recruit new workers?
-have you bothered to ask yourself why it was named SURE P FERMA TASKFORCE?the reason is to solve two major problems they may encounter which include
OPERATIONAL-FERMA.remember ferma has the mandate to maintain federal highways
FINANCE-SURE P.subvention to the organisation will be made through sure p.y do you think BRF has not gone to court to challenge the establishment of this tskforce.

prettythicksme:
op you sound so pained,naija babe don show you wella#hehehehe but sincerely you mingle with bad Nigeria girls there are a lots of nice ladies out there#go get the good babes

LOL.IF MAD MAN SLAP YOU IF YOU SEE MECHANIC DEY COME YOU GO TAKE OFF"

[quote author=emmysoftyou post=27796462]any latest information on federal task force so far.....?
Has the federal government intervene on our behalf...?
Because fashola told the lastma not to back off or recognised us as federal taskforce since the FTF has no legimate back up frm the ministry and it s not yet codified into law..
To him,the only recognised agency for now is lastma and FRSC..
And fashola said that federal govt should be honest to themselves if they really want to give us the job.
Is Sure P or Ferma recognised by law?does the President have powers to create sub agencies under existing agencies?have you bothered to ask yourself why it is called sure p ferma tskforce?finding answers to these questions will do you alot of good.

unuane1:
My brother this does not make any sense ok. So what you mean to say is there're no able men here in benin to be employ as Ferma officers and that they will have to post people down to Edo state? Anyway i wish you guys all the best. My advice is guys look for other things to do and forget abt this Ferma thing. It has always been a sham from start, from FG to get youths jobs.

if you think so afterall you have a right to your view.

unuane1:
lf what you're saying is true why has Benin command not commence or continue with the process ?

because benin is under Lagos command.i.e lagos will post officers to benin.

@unuane i never wanted to comment but i think i should clear your ignorance on what realy transpired in benin.Mr Isreal who claim to be the cordinator of federal task benin command,registered as a cadet officer in lagos command.as soon as he got wind of the fact that edo state is under Lagos command,mr isreal through the assistance of 2Ic got a letter from management to enable him secure office space @ thefederal secretariat benin.as soon as he secured the office 2ic instructed myself and three other cadet officers to go and inspect the office.on getting there Mr isreal told us that benin command is independent of lagos command in otherwords there will be recruitment of cadet officers in benin command.i demanded to know if 2ic is aware of this he said no because 2ic chikened out when he was trying to secure approval from abuja.i was not too convinced i had to call 2ic and the director of operation intimating them about this development and they adviced never to be part of that illegality.when he was eventualy arrested,the security men wrote Federal taskforce lagos demanding to know if they were aware of the activities of mr isreal.Lagos command disowned him that was why he was arrested.mind you,the letter they gave him from lagos was duly signed by sss.

The last time I went back home I was 14 and things were pretty safe, I did not want to leave. I am a bit worried about my safety now. Where are the hangout spots for young, God-fearing, singles?

"CHURCH"

they want to change bank outrightly. according to him, security report does not favour stanbic anylonger the reason they opted for access bank . however,opening of accounts is going to be in batches.

it should be with the last guy that cleaned your "playhead"

just spoke with the national CSO about the issue and he told me about the ugly incident however there was nothing like gun battle between the police and federal taskforce but taskforce men were only shooting to prevent any possible attack.
