My father was affected by the Nepa sack after the company was privatised, he hasn't forgiven GEJ since then, he normally tells us about his colleagues that were sacked and how they're now suffering. That's the worst thing GEJ did, its just TOO BAD

Almost all those affected by NITEL sack have found BETTER jobs with mobile telecoms companies.

The case of NEPA should not be different. They should actually thank Jonathan after paying them very good gratuities plus opportunity to earn better with the DISCOS, don't you agree

LIARS on the prowl!!!

Apart from the railways, roads, military equipment/ soldiers' allowance, almajiri schools/ universities, electricity, increased minimum wage and other infrastructural projects that Jonathan PAID for, the 36 states also received more share of the national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 NOVEMBER 2013

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

Jonathan queries CBN Governor over N1b donation to Political Party


In a move that has surprised many, President Goodluck Jonathan has queried the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, over various infractions detected in the apex bank’s 2012 audited account.

The query, which covered 22 issues bordering on massive fraud at the bank, was sent to the governor on May 6 and the response, though expected back on May 8, was submitted to the President on May 21.

The query of the bank’s account, which its auditors, Ernst and Young, passed without officially signing, with only a comment that it complies with the CBN Act, covers issues such as investment of a huge amount of money in an Islamic bank in Malaysia without any guarantee of its generating returns.

Others are write-off of about N3.5 billion CBN staff housing loan and the donation of about one billion naira to a political party to open up offices across the country. This donation, which was given under the special access item in the account, is believed to be geared towards furthering Sanusi’s alleged political ambition in the 2015 general elections.

The query touched other issues such as refusal of the apex bank to consolidate in its account, the trillion debt owed by the Asset Management Company, AMCON, and the non-disclosure of the total liabilities through the bond floated by the company.

The governor was also asked to explain the discrepancies noted in the 2012 account regarding the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company, a subsidiary of the apex bank.

Other issues include the controversial donations made to some higher institutions in the country. Investigations have shown that some of the donations were inflated in the bank’s books.

For example, while [size=15pt]the Bayero University Kano, BUK, was said to have collected N4billion, the school authorities claimed it got only N1billion.[/size]

The apex bank’s account became suspicious when the governor refused to submit it to the Financial Reporting Council, FRC, the body with the mandate to ascertain the compliance of companies with accounting standards, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS.

Rather than submitting it to the body, the governor requested for seven years’ grace for the CBNto comply with FRC stipulations.

The audit report of the account, which was submitted directly to the President, was later forwarded to the economic adviser to the President for his appraisal. The official okayed the account and noted that it complied with the CBN Act.

However, unhappy with the economic adviser’s comment, Jonathan returned the report to him and drew his attention to the refusal of the auditor to sign the account.

An official of Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria, ICAN, told our reporter that an audit report is worthless when it does not carry the signature of the auditor.

This is not the first time the CBN account will be open to scrutiny but the bank has always hidden under its autonomy to stave off close inspection. The apex bank is on the first line charge and receives its appropriation directly from the federation account and exercises enormous financial autonomy.

In May, the public accounts committee of the House of Representatives also had cause to query several expenditure items amounting to N4.7 billion in the CBN accounts. This included the N2.8billion which the bank said it spent on the construction of its Port Harcourt branch.

The House in turn had worked with a report from the office of the auditor general of the federation which queried extravagant expenditure by the apex bank for which documents were not made available for verification.

Chairman of the House committee on public accounts, Solomon Olamilekan at a meeting with officials of the bank alleged that there were indications that due process was not followed in expenditure as no documents were provided.

Some of the transactions that the committee queried include the sums of N23 million and N50claimed to have been spent for the same purpose of renovating the governor’s official residence as well as N848 million spent on the purchase of a property from the National Planning Commission without any transaction agreement.

However, like many probes of public institutions by the National Assembly, the matter appears not to have been pursued.

The N4 billion donation to BUK questioned in the President’s query had not even been known to the public. What had irked many Nigerians, including federal lawmakers, was the donation earlier in the year of N100 million to victims of terrorism in Kano, Sanusi’s hometown.

The House of Representatives entertained a motion on misuse of public funds on the donation which degenerated into a rowdy session. Many members accused Sanusi or misuse of public funds.

Member from Yobe State, Goni Lawan, described Sanusi’s donation of N100 million to Kano State and another N25m gift to Madalla bomb blast victims as “an act of terrorism”, arguing that attacks in Yobe and Borno states did not attract the same monetary consolations from the CBN governor.

“When I first heard of the action of the CBN governor, I was surprised. I asked whether Yobe andBorno states were not parts of Nigeria, as these attacks took place there first,” Lawan said.

Attempts to get the apex bank to react our story were unsuccessful. Over a week ago, when our reporter contacted the corporate affairs director of the CBN, Ugochukwu Okoroafor, and confronted him with the various issues noted in the CBN 2012 audited account, he claimed ignorance of any presidential query to the governor.

“I don’t know what donation you are talking about. Was it done in cash? I’m not aware of the things you are saying. If you can provide me with this document that would help, because I haven’t seen it,” he said.

Okoroafor said he was out of town on an official assignment in Abia State and would not be back until last weekend.

A mail asking him to respond to specific allegations about a write-off of about N3.5 billion CBN staff housing loan, donation of about N1 billion to a political party to open up offices across the country as well as the donation of N4 billion to the Bayero University Kano, among others, has not been replied.

Also, reminder text messages to the CBN spokesman have been ignored.

Many of our MUMU fellow citizens do not realise that it was AFTER this query that Sanusi started singing about missing $50 billion then $20 billion etc from NNPC

We are too GULLIBLE I swear

OrlandoOwoh:
Why are you this senseless?

Senseless by stating the Daura President's promise of reducing cost of governance or what exactly am I senseless for

OrlandoOwoh:
Why are you this unreasonable? Is Buhari the head of the RAMFC? If he should take any decisive step at cutting down salaries, you will say he is taking us back to the military regime.

You are joker surely!

Did your man of integrity not campaign on a promise of bringing down the cost of governance

Again I repeat you and your Daura President are jokers and clowns thinking you can take your fellow citizens for a ride.
Sorry but we won't let that happen!!!

ironbody03:
Judgement belong to ALLAH

Would you say that if it was your daughter or sister

PassingShot:
Sensational journalism again!

Why the title has to be "Buhari's ministers, lawmakers ...." is what baffles me considering the fact that this is the standard practice.

@ the main news, Nigeria cannot afford to continue to spend lavishly on our lawmakers and other political office holders.

APC lead by GMB and their national leadership must do something to significantly cut all these outrageous allowances in the short run and make politics less attractive in the long run so that only those with the calling to serve actually hold political positions.

Una eyes never see!
Una hears never ear!!
Una noses never smell!!!

Sey una don enter one chance molue with the Daura President.

Welcome to change

GOV. FASHOLA CAN NOT PLEASE GOD AND DEVIL
Apr 17, 2010

Farouk Martins Aresa

Governor Fashola is probably the best governor we have in Nigeria today. He actually works his butt off by providing essential services neglected by most of his predecessors. A lawyer born and bred with generations of family ties in Lagos finds a dilemma in the continued use of his God-given, acquired management skill in a state whose aspiration he can easily identify with; in conflict with the loyalty he pledged to his godfather whose only goal is to milk the State.

Fashola was recently invited to give an account of how he became the Governor of Lagos State to African students at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. He spoke passionately about his godfather Tinubu that convinced him to join the government since he made up his mind never to, after a NYSC experience. His lack of ambition to become a governor made him an ideal Tinubu candidate, to use for one term.

Our empathy with Fashola could be selfish because we want him to continue to serve Lagos State. The fire and dedication within him when he spoke to the students at Harvard University is backed up by the work he accomplished. He was humble, simple with self-deprecating humor. It was his reputation and political capital that got him invited to Harvard, not the amount of money he looted to buy an honorary degree.

In order to lump everyone together, even looters call clean people crooks so that the polity can be easily confused by who is a real or bigger thief. Fashola cannot say that though; at Harvard they know corruption is endemic in Nigeria. Painfully but surely, he has to disengage from Tinubu that will blackmail him no matter what he does and become more daring and transparent than he has ever been. Lagosians are not naïve and may be willing to forgive the lesser crooks in order to expose the bigger crooks.

Whatever deal they have with each other, Fashola has to understand that the reputation of his family in Lagos is worthier than gold. Nevertheless, Tinubu woke up a man dedicated to duty, more concerned about delivering dividends of democracy to his state than blind loyalty to a godfather. It became a dilemma to walk the invisible line of a skillful manager and politics. It is impossible to separate the two. You have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

The arrangement of separation of power between Fashola as the skilful manager and Tinubu as the politician is a farce. Political goodwill is built on selling sound management to the masses. That is what Fashola earned and what the people of Lagos State base their trust on. Indeed, if Fashola was not seen as a good politician, there would be no political capital to rely on. That goodwill capital must not be spent by anyone else but Fashola. Tinubu’s only role is magomago politics on the side of chop and quench.

Sure, if Tinubu had never backed him as a candidate, he would not have won. If he did not win, he would not be in a position to render the services Lagosians now enjoy. More than anyone else, Fashola struggles with whatever deal he made with Tinubu. That is why he did not want to run for second term and he is obliged to comply with most of Tinubu’s demands through the series of peace meeting between them

Let us be fair, it is a difficult position for anyone to be but at the end of the day, Lagos State comes first. The elders that are trying to patch matters up between them must realize that Fashola is a lawyer and it will be difficult for him to claim that he was only following Tinubu’s orders. Both of them will be probed at some point and Tinubu will save his neck first and will not care how Fashola ends up.

As soon as elders of the State let Tinubu know the consequences of his recklessness on the State’s coffer and the implication for the seating Governor, he lets go his area boys within whom he feels accepted, the pressure group tactics, to call for the head of Fashola. These cynics went as far as claiming that Fashola displaced the poor so that the rich can drive their cars freely.

The incessant calls for probe by Tinubu’s messengers is hypocritical as they know very well who the devil is. It is not the first time Tinubu manipulated those he could not control out of the way. We know what happened to Akerele-Bucknor, Pedro, Obanikoro, Atiku and a host of others that have generations of family ties to the State. Nobody gets elected in Lagos without the ascent of this cunning son of Iragbiji in Osun State.

In spite of the warnings by economist and other politicians during the reign of Tinubu that he was stealing Lagos State blind, none of these area boys and politicians initiated or call for a probe by the Lagos House because they were sprayed with naira or gripped by the fear of losing their seats. Their problem, Fashola that can’t be cloned, outshines Tinubu.

We cannot wave off some of their allegation against Fashola because the buck stops with him and will bear the consequences no matter what percentage Tinubu’s company collects at the other end. The facts remain that they do not have the interest of Lagos State in mind but that of their senders. That is why they become the accusers and judges exonerating their senders before an independent body look into their allegations.

Tinubu has nothing to lose. He has thrown his mother under the bus and his village under the train for now until he could elect the Governor of Osun State or makes presidency. He has become the banker at the National level to clinch the Vice-President by hook or crook on his way to becoming President. These are the type of materials Nigeria encourages as politicians and Fashola will be sacrificed on Tinubu’s way up.

It should not be surprising that Tinubu is still walking free as a former governor because like Ibori, they have accumulated and still accumulating money to buy their way out of jail. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones. There lies the strength of unscrupulous politicians that rule us and still trying to come back and rule us again. They live above their means and dare call for proof that they stole!

Revealed! Why Gov. Fashola Resigned twice in last six months
7 December 2009

“Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold. Turning and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the earth.”The above quotation is from the novel written by literary giant, Prof. Chinua Achebe,

Things fall apart. It, perhaps, aptly captures the shenanigan and scheming that has pervaded the seat of power in Lagos State. And the war of attrition that will shake the foundation of Lagos State politics in 2011 has started in earnest. It is going to be a straight fight between the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, and his overbearing godfather and predecessor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is spoiling for a war over contract and political patronages.

What started as a minor disagreement between the duo over the award of contracts to the companies that Tinubu has substantial interest in or those of his cronies has snowballed into a battle royale.

Sources said that while Fashola wanted to follow due process in the award of the contracts, his godfather would not take that “nonsense.” On many occasions, Tinubu reportedly told the governor point blank that he spent billions to install him and that he must recoup the investment.

When it became obvious that Fashola was not the “robot” they thought he would be, some of the commissioners who are stooges of Tinubu, started undermining him. It became the norm for them to come to the weekly State Executive Council (SEC) meeting after the governor must have been seated, a trend that runs contrary to the order of protocol. Infuriated by this ugly trend, the governor was said to have locked out the Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire, for coming late to one of such meetings without prior notice.

When it dawned on Tinubu that his godson had weaned himself from his apron string and may not take nonsense from anybody, sources said, the battle shifted to the state House of Assembly where 35 members were relied upon to checkmate the governor and probably go for his jugular, if need be. But to his traducers' amazement, Fashola's seeming performance appeared to have endeared him to all and sundry. Beside the fact that the law provides that anything the lawmakers deem “gross misconduct” could not be faulted, they were afraid of swimming against the tide by moving against the governor whom they considered sufficiently popular to attract public sympathy.
