Apparently troubled by the persistence of Boko Haram’s attack and the killing of innocent Nigerians, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said that Nigeria was at a crossroad regarding the spate of bombings and insecurity witnessed recently. He said it was uncalled for.

Jonathan, who made the disclosure in Uyo at the grand finale of activities to mark this year’s Armed Forces day celebration, also ordered an immediate review of the terms and conditions of service of personnel of the Armed Forces, noting that the welfare of personnel shall remain a top priority of his administration at all times.

On his part, Akwa Ibom state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, disclosed that the menace of the Boko Haram is a challenge to all the Governors in the country and not the problem of the Northern Governors alone.

Represented by Vice President Namadi Sambo, Jonathan said: “Let me say that the spate of insecurity that we have witnessed recently, including bomb explosions and violence in parts of the country is uncalled for.”

ENUGU—The Federal Government has expressed serious concern over the poor completion rates of primary school pupils in the country, just as it put current school enrolment at 90 percent.

Permanent Secretary, State House Abuja, Dr. Ibrahim Daudu, disclosed this during a training workshop and induction for Technical Assistants and Zonal Technical Officers organized by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.

He said though net school enrolment rate had reached almost 90 per cent from just 68 per cent in 1990, one of the major challenges that had persisted was “providing the quality teaching and learning environment to turn around primary completion rates.”

Daudu also disclosed that access to water and sanitation remained stubbornly low,’ and explained that up-to-date information on poverty rates was expected to be available in the near future to provide a major indication of the government’s success in linking economic growth to poverty reduction and employment generation.

He pointed out that the induction and workshop for MDGs Technical Assistants was a consequence of a series of successful investments that Nigeria had made over the past decade in poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs.

According to him, the MDGs Report 2010 has provided updated data on the MDGs indicators that would allow Nigeria to tell a compelling story about her progress as unprecedented progress has been made on some indicators.

He disclosed that the most powerful tool that has been discovered in its performance of the past six years is that of partnership, which is embodied in the flagship Conditional Grants Scheme.CGS, Initiative and the scheme was introduced in response to the low rates of implementation and sustainability of MDGs projects being achieved at the federal level.

The Permanent Secretary emphasized that since the experience of poverty is at the local level “this is where the investment is required, besides the constitutional responsibility for primary services such as healthcare, education and water supply which cover the MGDs Goals rest at the state and local government levels.

Explaining that the Conditional Grants Scheme provides a window for states and local government to scale up investment in the MDGs, the Permanent Secretary noted that by channeling funds through state governments, there was an opportunity to build capacity and develop systems of service delivery.

He added that the objective of extending the engagement from the states to local government is to create a truly inclusive and sustainable approach to service delivery and the MDGs.

“There is no institution better placed to deliver appropriate and quality services to communities and accelerate progress towards achievement of the MDGs than the local government because this tier of government is the closest to the people and can most effectively respond to their needs and priorities,” Daudu said.

Declaring the workshop open, Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime described the recruitment of the Technical Assistants and Zonal Technical Assistants as timely, adding that it was a positive development which would provide a good opportunity to take the crusade for taking the MDGs down to the third-tier of government.

Chime observed that this would not only support government effort to decentralize and institutionalize project planning, implementation and monitoring at the local government level but would also strengthen a very strong partnership among all the tiers of government towards a collective effort to meet the goals of MDGs.

Ngozi, nice one

i underestimated u, but u are one clever woman

killayut:
Igbo people  have started  spreading another  Lies    about Port  Harcourt ? That Lord  Lugard called it UGUOCHA,  . They are so silly. They are not even from there and do not even have any ancestral link to that area and yet they waste their time making up stories as  if  they will any day  take over the land from the Okrikas,  Ikwere people  are good neighbours and no one has any problem with them but these  Igbos will not stop trying to cause trouble where there is  non,

KILLA.

killayut alas tom u are one funny dude

pls we want to learn about the indigenous ijaws in lagos and ogun state

we know they are in ondo and the owner of sahara reporters is apoi ijaw(he is ijaw) but has a yoruba name and speaks yoruba

we want to know of ijaws in lagos, thanks

ZnO:
For me, it is an indictment for nonperformance that he had to be replaced with another minister
Add to that, Lagos where he has lived all his Nigerian life, does not want him to represent them any longer
Why not move back to his former job? Or has that one eluded him too
Ngozi left during her first outing and went back to her job
Why would Aganga, an MD of a strong financial institution, take shyyte from GEJ and from Lagos indigenes?
I would not stay back if meted with such shabby treatment. My 2cents.

what a senseless kid

ideeiot

ZnO:
You are one fat-headed hypocrite. You kept posting thrash threads about Fasola and Lagos and your decrepit SW, disturbing our faces (for those who read them anyways) and you have the guts to say that in bold? Your buffoonery is limitless, really.

another ideeiotic silly post

mumu post about ur state or make a thread about ur state and stop acting like a child

lets see your governor and stop telling others about how to post about fashola

Eko Ile:
1. You can cut and dice as much as you want, but Filth is filth filth regardless where it's located. You can not dictate where and what should be dirty or clean, and you can not have it both ways.

2. You asserted that Owerri is the second leanest place in Nigeria, but the governor himself just humbly admitted in the article that I posted that the state is filthy and he's willing and ready to do something about it.

3 The street in the pic I posted is not in some random village somewhere, it's obviously a major road in Owerri. Just look ate the pic, people are dumping trash right there next to the big dumpster instead of the dumpster itself.

4. The other poster said something about dirty markets and I posted one located right under his nose.



The fact is, ours is a dirty country and you people's ethnic mine is better than yours mentality is not helping nobody but your shallow and depthless minds.

Apart from you running your mouth on NL about some flawed and misguided rubbish, what have you done to make your society a better place for your people?



@ ZnO the resident re.tard. Unfortunately for you, I've never asserted that my state is the cleanest, even the most developed societies can not make that claim, such silly talk is reserved for shallow and ignorant re'tards like you.

well said God bless u for this post

good step to the right direction

this boko bastards are destroying our religion 

Islam is a way of life and the Quran taught us to be gentle and to act as it is written and not to be violent and blow people up

bashr4:
good ,drugs should only be purchased by registered pharmacist and not just any store,i hope all other states are watching and do the same thing in their states.the next step people will have to provide doctors prescription before they can purchase drugs that way we avoid drug abuse,resistance and can easily trace fake or un licensed drugs. maybe orji can score a cheap point with this one

rightly said, good one abia people

God Bless abia state and Nigeria

dayokanu:

The definition of irony. Keep holding Lagos to those Western Standards and keep holding your states to those Somalia standards. It's all good.
