These are the people creating the unbearable hardship in Nigeria so a bill to hang them by the neck should come up in the senate. Frustration has led to many suicide cases which was avoidable if they had done what they collected money to do.

God bless Mr BuBu Lawmakers are screening budgets of the FG, yet no one screens their constituency projects monies nominated.
Constituency project was a design of PDP era to make money available for the corrupt crooks in NA, it's time to reform most of our institutions. WAILERS if you don't like the truth from Baba go and jump into the lagoon!

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday ordered the probe of those who failed to judiciously spend the over N1 trillion voted for such projects in the last 10 years.
He gave his backing to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)’s plan to go after the contractors.
“The funds didn’t produce expected results”, he said at the opening of the National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in Public Sector, at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
The event was organised by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, in collaboration with ICPC.
According to him, the data collected from Nigerians in rural communities showed that they had not felt the impact of such projects.
Besides directing the anti-graft agency to go after the contractors, who collected funds for such projects and their collaborators in government, the President also urged the National Assembly to fast-track the passage of the Special Crimes Court Bill.
The President added: ‘‘It is on record that in the past 10 years One trillion naira (N1 trillion) has been appropriated for constituency projects, yet the impact of such huge spending on the lives and welfare of ordinary Nigerians can hardly be seen.
‘‘The first phase report of tracking these projects by ICPC confirms our worst fears that people at the grassroots have not benefited in terms commensurate with the huge sums appropriated for constituency projects since inception.
‘‘I am, therefore, delighted that through the effort of ICPC, some contractors are returning to site to execute projects hitherto abandoned and that project sponsors are being held to account.
‘‘The ICPC has my full support and the support of this government to hold fully to account contractors, complicit public servants and project sponsors who divert funds meant for constituencies, or other people oriented welfare projects of our government, or who by other means, reduce the quality and value of such projects meant for our people.’’
Urging the National Assembly to expedite action on the pending Special Crimes Court Bill, the President also called on the judiciary to embrace and support the creation of the specialised court.
He said: “The fight against corruption is of course not only for government and anti-corruption agencies alone. All arms and tiers of government must develop and implement the anti-corruption measures.https://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-orders-probe-of-n1tr-constituency-projects/?

The Federal Republic of Germany
has budgeted N7.2 billion (€18
million) for the development of
border communities across the
country.
The fund which would be
disbursed by Germany’s
international aid agency, German
Cooperation is part of Bonn’s
support for the fourth phase of
the African Union Border
Programme phase 2020-2022.
Announcing this in Abuja on
Tuesday during the workshop on
the regional review and planning
of the AUBP in West Africa, the
GIZ ECOWAS Cluster Coordinator,
Mr Ludwig Kirchner explained
that border communities were
often neglected by the
authorities due to their remote
location, noting that the fund
was meant to enhance social-
economic development of the
settlements.
According to him, since the
establishment of the AUBP,
Germany had supported its
implementation in over 20
countries with 10 ECOWAS
member states benefiting from
GIZ direct support.https://punchng.com/germany-provides-n7-2b-for-development-of-border-communities/?

PDP is dead already. You guys should live with it. For a former president to work against his party means there's nothing

That coach truly has no respect!
Good riddance to bad rubbish!

An Italian youth club fired
manager Massimiliano Riccini for
disrespecting the opposition
after his team bagged a 27-0 win
on Saturday.
Massimiliano Riccini fired
Invictasauro, an under-18 side
from Tuscany, demolished Marina
Calcio and scored an incredible
27 goals. According to ESPN, the
losing side were dealing with a
host of injury problems and had
an outfield player in goal as a
result.
They were also bottom of the
table, while Invictasauro led the
standings.
Marina sporting director Tiberio
Pratesi lodged a complaint and
later received a phone call from
Invictasauro with an apology.
Their president, Paolo Brogelli,
released a public statement to
announce Riccini’s sacking:
“We were stunned and deeply
regretful when hearing that our
Juniores team had beaten Marina
Calcio 27-0. The values of youth
team football are antithetical to
such a thing. The opponent must
always be respected and that did
not happen today.
“As president, I sincerely
apologise to the Marina club. I
announce that our directors
decided, unanimously, to sack
coach Riccini. Our coaches have
the duty to train young players,
but above all to educate them.
That did not happen today.”

Pls who dey lead in general na?

FANTASTIC where are those critisizing our minister over this issue, lets hear your voice now?

Prior to the pronouncement by
the Minister of Agriculture, Alhaji
Sabo Nanono that with thirty
naira (N30), one can feed himself
in Kano state, Alhaji Haruna
Engineer was a radio and
television repairer conducting his
business along Layin Kuka in Sani
Mai-Nagge quarters, Gwale local
government area of Kano state.
But few days after the minister’s
controversial pronouncement
that generated serious debate
among Nigerians, the popular
technician decided to establish a
restaurant where a plate of food
would be sold at the cost of N30
only.

Engineer told Chronicle that the
idea of establishing the N30
restaurant was conceived by his
wife, Malama Sadiya Sa’id, who
told him that in their family
house they sold N20 worth of
food to people.

He said, “the whole thing started
like a joke between my wife and
I. We were discussing about the
minister’s pronouncement after
listening to comments by the
people on the issue over the
radio. Then my wife said the
minister was right because in
their family house they sold a
plate of rice and beans for N20.
“She did not stop at that, she
further advised me that if I can
get some money we can try it as
a business. Initially, I did not
believe her until after she made
some calculations and came up
with an idea on how we can
prepare a plate of rice and beans
or Garri with grounded
groundnut cake at the cost of
less than N30. It was at this point
that I believed her and agreed to
start the business as trial.”
He recalled that they started with
a capital of N450 which they
bought a measure of Garri at the
cost N250, vegetable oil N50 and
grounded groundnut cake (Kuli-
Kuli) N100, Ginger N20, Maggi
N20 and Salt N10, making a total
of N450, adding that at the end
of the day they realized N700,
therefore making a gain of N250.

He said later they introduced rice
and beans which they also sold a
plate at N30, saying although the
profit was not much but at least
they were making some gains
out of the business and at the
time helping many people from
the less privileged families.
He said: “Presently, we are
preparing 10 measures of rice,
five measures of beans and 10
measures of Garri every day. We
usually start selling at 11am and
close by 8pm daily. As at now we
have a capital of more than
N300,000 because some people
have donated some cash to me
after I started the business.
“I have also acquired a certificate
from Kano state government for
the formalization of my
restaurant, which I named N30
Restaurant and I am planning to
open branches in all the 44 local
government areas of the state.
But for now, I have decided to
open branches in Mandawari,
Kasuwar Sharada and Janguza
before I move to other local
government areas.”
Tahir Nura Muhammad came all
the way from Dorayi quarters to
buy a N30 worth of plate of rice
and beans from Malam Haruna.
He told Chronicle that he bought
four plates of rice and beans as
well as a plate of Wasa-Wasa.
“It cost me only N120 for the
four plates. When I heard about
the man, I could not believe it
until when I came here and saw
for myself. It is a plate of rice and
beans plus sachet water at the
cost of N30,” he confirmed.
Malam Ibrahim Idris, popularly
known as Baba Tangul, who
bought three plates of Wasa-
Wasa from the N30 Restaurant,
also told Chronicle that he had
been buying food from the
restaurant since it was opened a
month back.

Legislooters at it again!
These are wasteful legislooters association that prefer looting to economic development, what a pitiable situation

The Senate has introduced a new bill that seeks to consign the management of constituency projects initiated by federal lawmakers.
The Bill when passed would deny ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal government from having any input in awarding contracts for projects captured under the constituency fund.
The Bill seeks the setting up of a special fund made up of 2.5 per cent of yearly budget to be dedicated to constituency projects.
The Bill also stipulated that the fund when set up would be managed by the Rural Development Department of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Currently, constituency projects of lawmakers are captured in the capital allocation of relevant MDAs.
The MDAs also award the contracts and determine the execution of the projects.
The practice had led to outcry by lawmakers who often complain that funds for projects allocated against their names are never released or suffer poor releases which often stall the implementation of such projects.
Investigations byThe Nationshow that the N100billion allocated for constituency projects in the 2019 budget have not been released by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a bid to forestall the repeat of the development in future, a former Leader of the Senate, Ali Ndume, has sponsored the “Constituency Development Fund Bill, 2019”, which scaled first reading on the floor of the red chamber, on Tuesday.
The bill, according to a copy, obtained by our reporter on Friday, seeks to legalise the management and implementation of constituency development funds in the country.
Against the current practice where MDAs are fully in charge, the new legislation seeks to entrust the execution of such projects in the hands of the Rural Development Department of the proposed agency.
The decisions on the projects to be implemented, according to the bill, would remain with the various constituencies through the Constituency Development Project Advisory Committees set up for each federal constituency and senatorial district.https://thenationonlineng.net/senate-to-strip-ministries-of-control-over-constituency-projects/?

Kinsmen of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Kolo, Ogbia Local Government Area trooped out to celebrate the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ward 9.
They took over the road leading to Ogbia Town immediately the results of the 13 units in Ward 9 were announced by electoral officials and APC was declared the winner of the ward.
Some of them flew the flag of APC while others used their brooms to sweep the road saying they had suffered under the current PDP government.

Some of them said they were given as much as N10,000 but that they rejected the money because they were United and determined to vote out PDP.
“We are happy because we won the PDP in all the units” one of them, who failed to mention his name out of excitement said.
Also in Eppie-Atissa in Yenagoa, residents took over the road jubilating over the defeat of the PDP in the area.https://thenationonlineng.net/jonathans-kinsmen-celebrate-pdps-defeat/?

KUDOS TO BUHARI 4 THE APPROVAL

End of the road for corrupt
custom officials and their
clearing agents counterparts

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)
said it has obtained approval
from President Muhammadu
Buhari to begin electronic
process for clearing imported
and exported goods.
The Comptroller General of
Customs, Col. Hameed Ali Rtd
disclosed this on Friday at the
graduation ceremony of 40
officers from the Senior Course 3
session at the Nigeria Customs
Command and Staff College in
Gwagwalada, Abuja.

Col. Ali said the E-Customs
deployment will transform the
operations of the Service,
providing for faster clearance of
goods.

When this happens, Ali said,
“Export and import processing
will be paperless. Your
performance evaluation report
will not be written on paper and
will fill it online and your superior
will assess you online.”
He challenged Customs
operatives to have a mindset of
training to adopt the skills once
the clearance technology is
deployed.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/customs-to-begin-electronic-clearance-for-imported-exported-goods.html?f

good development our border must remain locked

The Assistant Comptroller of
Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji
Bashir Abubakar said Kebbi State
Command has confiscated 4,500
jerry cans of petroleum products.
He said Customs operatives
intercepted the products at
Bahindi village, Bagudo Local
Government Area of the state.

Abubakar, who is coordinating
the Border Drill exercise of Sector
4, said this during a courtesy visit
to Governor Abubakar Bagudu
on Thursday.

He said, “it has been observed
that many filling stations at
border areas have been receiving
supply of petroleum products,
but they are not selling to
customers. They prefer to
smuggle them outside the
country”.
He said his team is a
conglomerate of security officers
put together to secure lives,
property and economy of the
nation and that because of the
menace of insecurity, it was
necessary to have absolute
control at the borders.
He said security report had
indicated influx of arms and
ammunition and of illegal
immigrants into the country.
The Deputy Governor, Alhaji
Samila Dabai, who received him
on behalf of the governor,
appreciated efforts of the
officials and commended steps
taken by the federal government
to ensure security of the nation’s
borders.
He said Kebbi State has benefited
from the federal government’s
measures because the state
shares borders with Niger and
Benin republics.
He said: “Before now, Kebbi was
at the receiving end but things
have changed for the better. The
closure of the border has shown
remarkable improvement in
security and economic
development in Kebbi”.
