Last week, about 80 percent of 55 million eligible voters cast their ballots to choose a president, vice president, 12 senators, 200 members of the lower house of Congress and 18,000 local officials in general elections held every six years. "I can focus and discipline myself, the way I did in boxing to help the nation," Pacquiao told reporters, saying, as a new senator, he would push for free education at all levels. The 37 year-old two-term congressman also said he favours restoring the death penalty for drug-related and other serious crimes. President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has said he will ask Congress to re-introduce a death penalty that was repealed in 2006. "In the eyes of God, it is not unlawful," Pacquiao said of capital punishment. The former eight-division world boxing champion, who stood as a member of one of the losing presidential candidates, won more than 16 million votes to come in seventh place for 12 vacant seats in the upper house of Congress. Opinion polls showed Pacquiao was among the top choices for a senate seat but he dropped a few notches down in the polls after he made an anti-gay remark in February. A month before elections, his ratings improved after a convincing victory over American champion Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, knocking him down twice in the 12-round bout. |

This step is in the right direction and is long overdue, but its better late than never, we commend the Federal Government for the bold decision it has made, because the subsidy scheme was extremely fraud-prone. Trying to reform it was like attempting to reform Satan(devil) – an impossibility task. It was therefore best to scrap it. Our advice to the Government is to use the money that will be saved, to put infrastructures that will create jobs for Nigerians in place, ensuring that our refineries are working optimally and encouraging local production to ameliorate the temporary hardship the citizen are going through. And for us in the Aviation industry, we urge the Government to begin the refining of the Aviation fuel popularly known as Jet A1 form the Kaduna and Port-Harcourt refinery, this will go a long way in reducing the cost of operation and will also reduce the cost of flight ticket, as fuel alone constitute about 30 to 40% of the cost of operation. The Government should also look into the Issue of National Carrier as promised or strengthen the local domestic Carriers as suggested by various stake holders. One of the above needs to be done ASAP as the industry in currently in a stand still. We need more jobs to be created for our pilots and Engineers. We want to reiterate our unalloyed support for this novel and bold decision the Federal Government have taken to secure the future of Nigeria. We also want to assure the general public that we shall not ask our Pilots and Aircraft Engineers to go on strike. As far as we are concern, Nigerians should go ahead with there travel plans. The truth is that the industry itself is already being affected by the current challenges in the country and any move to short down the Aviation Sector will lead to a total collapse of the Sector. Long live the Aviation Sector, long live the federal republic of Nigeria. Comr Isaac Balami National President, NAAPE |

Source: http://m.guardian.ng/business-services/industry/boi-increases-on-lending-fund-for-smes-under-yes-scheme/ Following the turnout of applicants for its N10 billion facility earmarked for on-lending to small businesses under the Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) programme, the Bank of Industry (BoI) has concluded plans to expand the fund size as well as accommodate more candidates under the scheme. Specifically, the bank noted that due to the high rate of applications received for the YES initiative, it would increase the size of the fund from the initial N10 billion, while considering an increase in the number of would-be loan beneficiaries from 1,200 yearly to 4,000 candidates. Speaking at the assessment exercise of the initiative and inauguration of a seven-man panel to serve on the application screening committee in Lagos, BoI’s Acting Managing Director, Waheed Olagunju, noted that out of the 40,000 applications received, 15,000 or 37.5 per cent were properly completed and thus qualify for consideration for the first segment of the entrepreneurship capacity building programme which is the eight weeks online training component. “This programme was launched in response to the alarming unemployment problem among Nigerian youths. Having noticed the huge volume of registration on the online portal of 40,000 which has far outstripped the 10,000 entries earlier envisaged by 300 per cent over the six-week period, we have come to the realisation that Nigerian youths have enormous entrepreneurial appetite waiting to be unleashed on the nation’s economy in a positive sense. “We have therefore come to the conclusion that we should provide more opportunities for the youth by increasing the number of would-be loan beneficiaries from 1200 to 4000. Efforts would be made to ensure a fair distribution of the beneficiaries in consonance with the proportion of entries received from the six geopolitical zones”, Olagunju added. Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu E. Enelamah, while inaugurating the committee, commended the bank for the initiative, saying, “I am quite satisfied with the implementation of the YES-Programme thus far, considering the calibre and quality of the facilitating institutions. The candidates’ screening and evaluation process are transparent, merit-based and in line with global best practices. “The synergy created by the consultants working in concert with BoI’s in-house team, will undoubtedly manifest in the quality of young entrepreneurs that will be produced under the programme. “The import of the overwhelming response by our youths to the YES-Progammes is a manifestation of their desire to take control of their destinies via the entrepreneurial route by being self –employed. It is therefore apparent that the earlier envisaged 1,200 would-be loan beneficiaries would fall far short of the yearnings of the aspiring young entrepreneurs. “I would like to assure our youths of Federal Government’s absolute commitment to its financial inclusion programme. Government will endeavour to meet the aspirations of youths by providing the support needed by BoI to successfully implement the YES-programmes”. Members of the application screening committee include the Acting Managing Director, Waheed Olagunju, Executive Director, Financial Inclusion, Mrs. Toyin Adeniji, Divisional Head, SME (North), Abdul-Ganiyu Mohammed, Divisional Head, SME (South), Umar Shekarau, and three other eminent members made up of successful entrepreneurs, professionals, retired bankers, SME consultants. |
Who cares! If they like, let all d cabinet ministers resign because Nigerians wouldn't feel their absence. I'm sure millions of qualified graduates out there will gladly accept to serve as cabinet ministers (and been paid using the minimum wage salary structure) without asking for bogus allowances. |
