Politics › FG To Introduce Toll On Some Reconstructed Roads- Fashola by BeeBeeOoh(op): 6:15pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
The federal government is set to reintroduce toll on some roads that will be built or reconstructed.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN, made the declaration while fielding questions as guest on the popular Channels Sunrise Daily programme.
The minister said it would be pretentious to assume that the roads would get better if we continued to make our roads absolutely toll free. He added that, there would however be alternative roads to the ones that would be tolled.
Fashola declared, “We should stop being pretentious that roads can be had for absolutely free everywhere. There will be toll roads if we want to get out of this situation. There will be alternative roads as well so that people can choose.”
Fashola also talked about severance package for ex-workers in the three ministries. He explained that the record he met showed that about 50,000 such workers were due severance pay and that about 47,000 have been paid representing about 97 per cent compliance.
“Now, for me, it is a clear evidence of an intention and good faith to pay. Pensioners are about 5,000 and 3,000 have been paid; that is more than 50 per cent compliant. When I queried the reasons for the delay, they told me there was a verification process going on and the approvals they had to spend money on that process had expired. I gave them a new approval”, the Minister further explained.
He said the seeming delay in payment was as a result of the verification exercise going on adding that the verification was due to the allegation that when the payment started “people were altering records, issuing employment letters at severance point and backdating them to people who were not members of staff”.
“That is what has delayed this process. The money to pay is there but they said they are not going to pay until they are sure of the people they are paying. So that process is going on. It has to be properly done and when it is completed we will pay. These are the issues. So when people get angry or agitated, it is to do so in a context”, he said, adding that it is not an unwillingness to pay as some people have already been paid.
On the call for review of the privatization policy especially with regards to the Power Sector, Fashola, who recalled that the nation’s refineries were concessioned in 2006, noted that there was agitation then “by the voices that we are now hearing” that they shouldn’t have been concessioned adding that as a result, the YarÁdua administration responded to that and stopped the process.
He declared, “I think our choice as a nation must be experiential. The YarÁdua administration responded to the agitation and stopped the process. But that was in 2007; where are we today, nine years after? We still don’t have the quality of refineries we want”.
“The Ministry of Petroleum just shared with us the hard work they are doing getting the refineries back on after about seven years. Perhaps, as you are aware, Dangote is now building a refinery. Perhaps if we had allowed that process, and I think Dangote was one of the concessionaires at the time”, he said.
Noting that government could start reviewing and nothing would happen, Fashola said in lieu of reviewing, focus should be “on getting what is on the ground to work”, adding, “And that is what I am doing, that is what I’ve told you about getting all the various power plants to work”.

Politics › Herdsmen Attack: We May Resort To Self Defence, Town Unions, Abia.. by BeeBeeOoh(op): 5:55pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
By Anayo Okoli THE rampant invasion of communities across the country by suspected herdsmen, particularly last week’s attack on Ukpabi-Nimbo community in Uzo Uwani council area of Enugu State, has raised tension in the South-East.
Armed Fulani-herdsmen The tension was prompted, especially because the Ukpabi-Nimbo invasion came less than three weeks after the same suspected herdsmen invaded another Enugu community, Ugwuleshi in Awgu, where 76 people were arrested and clamped into Umuahia Prisons where they spent over 10 days before being granted bail by an Umuahia Magistrates Court. The increased attacks by suspected herdsmen in the South-East and other areas have pushed government, communities and groups to take proactive measures.
For instance, Abia State House of Assembly has passed a resolution, mandating security agencies to thoroughly search all trucks and other vehicles conveying to the state or passing through the state, laden with cattle, onion, tomato, fruit and other goods, from other parts of the country.
The resolution of the House was prompted by a motion of urgent public importance raised by the Minority Leader, Mr. Chibuzo Okogbuo, who lamented the carnage caused by the suspected herdsmen in the Enugu community. In the resolution, the House also urged security agencies to promptly prosecute herdsmen found in possession of illegal arms. To further checkmate herdsmen, the lawmakers mandated every community in Abia State to be “vigilant, proactive and resist the ugly activities of herdsmen”.
The House equally called on traditional rulers in the state to sensitize their people on the destructive activities of herdsmen and to engage the leadership of Hausa/Fulani communities in their areas in interactive sessions aimed at embracing a peaceful relationship. The Speaker of the House, Mr. Martins Azubuike, in his remarks, urged security agencies to be more vigilant and alive to their responsibilities and ensure adequate protection of lives and property.
Meanwhile, some Igbo leaders have blamed herdsmen’s attacks on the inaction of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that only the President can halt the rampaging herdsmen. Some of them also blamed state governors for not taking drastic actions against the invaders, urging them to be proactive in warding off the attacks by the herdsmen.
According to the Chairman of South East Town Unions, Chief Emeka Diwe, Buhari’s long silence over the invasion of communities and killing of innocent Nigerians by herdsmen was not encouraging. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the President, he said, must ensure the protection of lives and property and lamented that the Constitution left state governors powerless in matters of security.
“The truth is that only Buhari can stop his kinsmen from the attacks. This level of invasion, raping of women and killing of innocent Nigerians is suspicious. The least expensive solution, which is also the most effective in solving the problem of herdsmen’s attacks is that only Buhari can stop his kinsmen”, Diwe said.
“For those blaming state governors, what do they want them to do? The President is the commander-in- chief of the armed forces. No governor has direct control of any security service in Nigeria.
At least, we learnt about the problem encountered by the Enugu governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, in his effort to reach out to President Buhari over the Fulani herdsmen attacks in his state. The President is supposed to be working directly with governors on security issues. What sense did it make that after the people of Ukpabi-Nimbo were killed and houses burnt, security was later deployed? I think we are playing politics with security issues.
“As leaders of town unions in the five states of the South-East, we are disturbed by the activities of the rampaging Fulani herdsmen who have continued to destroy farmlands, rape women and kill innocent people. We are further worried that President Buhari is yet to give this problem the serious attention it deserves. The Fulani herdsmen attack did not start today, but the question is: Were they this daring in their attacks before Buhari emerged President?
“People have been killed in Agatu; in Delta, a monarch was kidnapped and found dead. Millions of others have been displaced from their homes. Now Ukpabi-Nimbo community in Enugu has been attacked and people massacred. Enough is enough; we won’t tolerate this again in any part of Igbo land. Nigeria is treading a dangerous path. The President should do everything to douse the suspicion. We are not saying he sent them, but he has the authority to check the attacks to avoid reprisal.
Otherwise, individuals and communities may resort to self-defence”. A civil servant in Umuahia, who simply gave his name as Mr. Nwoke, also blamed security agencies for the spread of the attacks by herdsmen, saying they lack adequate intelligence.
He also questioned the Department of State Service [DSS] silence over the attacks on Enugu communities when they raised the alarm over alleged shallow graves with five Fulani and two Igbo bodies. Nwoke cautioned them on the way they handle issues to avoid stoking crisis. : http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/herdsmen-attackswe-may-resort-self-defence-town-unions-abia/

Politics › Mass Defection Hits PDP In Ondo.. by BeeBeeOoh(op): 8:54pm On Apr 29, 2016 |
BY Dayo Johnson Akure- THE ruling Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Ondo state has suffered a set back as two former commissioners, Local government Chairmen and two former Lawmakers defected to the opposition All Progressive Congress APC. They claimed that over 5000 of former PDP chieftains dumped the ruling party for the opposition Party.
The former commissioners include that of former Adult, Technical and Vocational Education Mrs Kehinde Momoh and that of Local government and Chieftaincy Affairs Mr. Tayo Oluwatuyi.
Others include former members of the state House of Assembly Bamido Omogbehin and Oyebo Aladetan and the former Chairmen of local governments include Prince Olu Falolu, Tobi Akinlalu, Bailey Arohunmolase. Other former political office holders under the present government who jumped ship included Kasali Obanoyen, Chief Ajani Oladipupo, Mr Yele Akinya and Segun Ogodo.
Speaking on behalf of defectors, Arohunmolase attributed their joining the APC to failed promises of the PDP led government in the state. Arohunmolase said they are set to work in line of the APC directives at winning the governorship in November this year.
The Chairman of the APC, Isaacs Kekemeke at the ceremony held at the party secretariat in Akure described the defection” as the end of PDP’s hold on the politics of the state. Kekemeke promised to give all members equal right and level playing field to achieve their desires.
He stated that the party would put in place measures towards ensuring victory in the November polls and urged Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal government. Reacting to the defectors, the Publicity Secretary of the ruling PDP, Banji Okunomo described their action as good riddance to bad rubbish.
Okunomo pointed out that they have no political relevance in their constituencies hence the reason they jumped ship at this crucial time. He added that the defectors would be disappointed when they get to the opposition party.
The Publicity Secretary assured the party members that the November election would separate the men from the boys. Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/mass-defection-hits-pdp-ondo/ Lalasticlala |

Politics › FG Begins With Preparation Of 2017 Budget by BeeBeeOoh(op): 2:56pm On Apr 29, 2016 |
*Our administration came on achange mantra; we shall be accountable & transparent to all Nigerians..The Ministry of Budget and National Planning, has said that it has started preparation of the 2017 budget to enhance economic development. This is contained in a statement by Charles Dafe, Director of Information in the ministry, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
The statement said that the Minister of State Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, disclosed this when the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) paid her a courtesy visit. She added that the Federal Government had also started the preparation of the Medium Term 2016-2020 Development Programme to achieve sustainable development.
The ministry, however, solicited the support of ANAN to build the capacity of the staff on Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) application. The minister also appealed to the association to assist the present administration to fight corruption.
“As accountants, we can resist corruption, block illegal releases; we need to start from ourselves; we must uphold the tenets of our profession and make ourselves clean and accountable always.
“Our administration came on a change mantra; we shall be transparent and accountable to all Nigerians,” she said. Earlier, Anthony Nzom, ANAN’s president, promised to provide technical knowledge to the staff of the ministry on ZBB concept adopted in the 2016 budget.
Mr. Nzom commended the “visionary appointment’’ made by President Muhammadu Buhari on two fellow members of ANAN, Zainab Ahmed as minister and Tijjani Abdullahi as Director-General of Budget Office. He said that the nation would benefit a lot from their professional competence and services. (NAN) Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/fg-begins-preparation-2017-budget/Lalasticlala
