The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, has described defending the current administration as one of the simplest tasks for anyone well-versed in governmental operations.

Speaking during Monday’s edition of Politics Today on Channels Television, Bwala addressed the speculation surrounding his new portfolio, dismissing claims that it represented a demotion.


“I[b] have never been demoted. I have an absolutely good relationship with the president, and I’m happy doing my job,” Bwala stated.

The former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s Presidential Campaign Council shared his approach to defending the government’s policies.

According to him, clarity, honesty, and thorough research are key.

“To defend this government, in my view, is the easiest thing to do because you speak to facts, be honest with Nigerians, and then be ready to counter any negative narrative or agenda-driven narrative.

“So, once these three things are very clear to you and you have done your research, it is very easy,” he said.

Benwallt:
I have arrived at a conclusion that you are a native fowl. Bye, go and meet the other fowl to forage through the process bins.

Benwallt:

helinues:
Table the motion of Kanu's release at the Senate if you are not a coward

PressMyButton:
OBJ go too collect from Jagaban, he thinks he is messing with GEJ or Buhari who let his shenanigans slide. Tinubu defeated him as Governor. And now as President, Tinubu will tear him naked in public.



After God Devil, na Tinubu 💪

Roger3D:
Any policy coming from the Tinubu administration is wicked and evil

KnowAll:
At least he was Atiku’s deputy. I think most of the prent politicians see Tinubu as a soft touch because he is a democrat. Obi who fit Hausa / Fulani shiiiit na I’m come dey threaten Jagaban.

Obi would be a perpetual slave to the Hausa / Fulani. I can bet he would still deputise Atiku in 2027.

press9jatv:
haaa Wetin be this oooo

aswani:
I am not going to indulge you.

If you don't think President Tinubu, as governor of Lagos state, showed the type of dynamism that current governors should try and emulate, that is OK.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced a new initiative, which will allow students to resit their WASSCE papers as early as January and February 2025.

This marks a significant shift from the previous system, where candidates had to wait for the next private exam cycle.

The Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, disclosed this while speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Tuesday, December 31st.

He explained that the new programme, referred to as WASSCE PC1, provides a faster route for students to improve their grades.

“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The exams will take place from 24th January to 15th February 2025,” Mr Kapi stated.

According to him, to aid candidates in their preparations, WAEC plans to expedite the release of chief examiners’ reports, saying, “These reports will provide detailed feedback on where students may have gone wrong and how they can better approach their studies and the examination process.

“We’ve advertised this programme widely through banners, our website, and our results checker platform to ensure that both students and parents are aware,” Mr Kapi added.

He said students whose results have been cancelled are also eligible to sit the WASSCE PC1 exams, provided they have not been banned for some years for malpractice.

“For now, the exams will be conducted in regional capitals due to the limited number of candidates. Prospective participants are urged to complete their registration by the 8th of January to take advantage of this opportunity.”

WAEC, however, expressed optimism that this initiative will allow candidates to quickly improve their grades and qualify for the next cycle of admissions, avoiding a year-long delay in their academic progress.

aswani:
My understanding is a bit different but the bottom line is states are no longer going to receive a lot of money from Central government as a matter of course. There will still be money from Central government, but it will be much less than now.

The more you do to attract organisations and people to your state, the more you will have to use to govern it.

Lazy state governors (of which there are plenty all over the country, not just North as some might think) will soon be found out and hopefully turfed out. And if they are not, their citizens can continue to enjoy their suffering.

Dynamic and forward thinking state governments, such as demonstrated by President Tinubu in Lagos state (love him or hate him) will reap a lot of rewards.

Ojuntana:
Nothing much
Just a distraction to make it look as if the govt knows what it's doing

Saudi Arabia has released three Nigerians who were earlier arrested and prosecuted in the country.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Acting-Spokesperson of the Ministry, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the release followed high-level diplomatic engagement between the Nigerian government and Saudi authorities.


The three Nigerians namely: Hadiza Abba, Fatima Malah and Fatima Gamboi were arrested for alleged possession of substance suspected to be cocaine while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

According to the statement, they were arrested and prosecuted on March 5, 2024 at Prince Mohammad bin Abdul Azeez International Airport Madinah, Saudi Arabia, and released after spending 10 months in detention.

The statement said, “The arrest of the three women was a result of the earlier arrest of two Nigerian nationals who were found in possession of 80 capsules of Cocaine weighing 900.28 gm and 70 capsules of Cocaine weighing 789.5gm, respectively.

“The women were detained by the Saudi authorities on suspicion of being accomplices and abating the trafficking of the banned substance found on the aforementioned arrested Nigerians.

“The Ministry wishes to recall that the trio’s arrest attracted much attention in Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.


“Their successful release was achieved after prolonged diplomatic and legal engagements, which culminated in their discharge and acquittal, as well as subsequent handover to the Consulate-General of Nigeria in Jedda.

“The ladies were received by Amb. Muazam.
