Why should the CBN be so heartless to grant graduates loan with their degree certificate as collateral under this harsh economic challenges we find ourselves,,,the CBN should better retrace from such & fg should warn then about such process when they know they can monitor such loans if they can put machinery in place

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday reserved judgment in an appeal filed by Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba against the nullification of his electoral victory by a tribunal.

Justice Abdul Northerner said the court would later announce the date for the judgment in the appeal.

AS the Senate investigated the operations of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) yesterday, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele said that he knew nothing about the scheme before the probe.

Emefiele specifically denied knowledge of the appointment of a private firm to manage the transfer of funds to the apex bank in compliance with the TSA regime that led to the alleged payment of N25 billion to System Spec. System Spec is the owner of Remita, the software that was used for the transfer.

On his part, the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, disclosed that he never ‎signed any payment for System Spec which facilitated the transfer of funds from all Federal Government agencies to the CBN. Idris also told the committee that he never signed any document for the appointment of the firm...

“DID they send you your own share of the bush meat?”

“Bush meat?”

“The lion in the zoo that became bush meat in Jos”

“What’s my own inside? I don’t know any zoo worker in Jos and how could a lion that was allowed out of its cage and got
shot end up in my stomach. The kind of things you say sometimes.”

“That means you have not been following the story.”

“It is an animal tale”

“Created, concocted and delivered by animals in human skin, working in animal kingdom, telling us animal tales. What surprises me is the fact that there has been no public uproar, no outrage.”

“People are too busy thinking of how to survive as human beings, how to fight the current nationwide epidemic of empty pockets and stomachs, and survive the change in their lives.”

“But when a similar incident occurred at the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, there was serious outrage all over the world. Dr. Palmer, the American who killed the lion was the target of abuse and attacks. He even had to shut down his dental office. There were calls for his prosecution.”

FACED with reduced revenue following crude oil price crash, the Federal Government has decided to borrow money to fund its capital projects and meet other obligations next year.

As the government yesterday unveiled ambitious developmental plans, the country struggles to sell its once-highly-in-demand crude oil, the price of which hit a 10-year low in November.

The country’s crude oil production declined by 205,300 barrels per day in November, according to the latest report of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and other members of the cartel produced beyond their respective quotas during the month.

While the Federal Government has indicated plans to raise its debt obligation to fund capital and other development projects, the financial sector is rolling out initiatives and incentives to drive employment for at least, one million graduates, through small business support and ownership.

I have check every news paper but did not find such story.
sahara reporters with lies

Keneking:
-Remove subsidy
-Increase tariff on electricity

Nigeria would be on the path of self development.

* modify indigenous refinery system
* promulgate laws that will liberalized the power sector completely

Nigeria would be on path of self development

anigbajumo:
Av u by pass Lagos Ibadan express way early this year and after election?

I was there live when GEJ came to flag off the project not knowing it was another step to loot fund's.Thou there was few construction but 2month before the election nothing has been done till now.They loot the money for yeye campaign.

The road was constructed from sagamu interchange to Redeem church. they stopped after the election.
I expect Fashola to continue from there and stop telling Nigerians stories.

You mean Dogara said this?

so he dose not have right to say his view ?

what a pity.

*Sets Lagos-Ibadan expressway,
*Second Niger bridge as top priority


The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has officially unveiled his short term plans to address housing deficits, provide good roads and urgently increase power generation in the country with extra 2, 000 megawatts.
Fashola said, during his maiden press briefing in Abuja that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway which has been under construction and the second Niger Bridge are of great importance to the current administration, thus would get urgent attention.

He said year 2002 was the last time the sum of N200 billion was budgeted for road constructions in the country.

The Minister further disclosed that work would soon commence on all roads that link the 36 States of the federation, adding that major roads which had been suspended due to paucity of funds and are vital to boost social economic activities in the country would be quickly revisited.

It was Fashola’s maiden briefing since his resumption to office.

He spoke on plans to partner with the private sector and fully privatise the power sector in order for the country to witness genuine development like the telecommunication.

Part of his plans is also to immediately restore the jobs of construction workers who were laid off by local and international construction companies in the country.

His words: “The records that have been made available from previous budgets show that the last time Nigeria budgeted over N200 Billion in a year’s budget for roads was in 2002. It seems that as our income from oil prices increased over the last decade, our spending on roads decreased.

“As far as status reports go, the federal government budgeted N18.132Billion in 2015 and the Ministry of Works got N13Billion for all roads and highways in 2015, although it has contracts for 206 roads, covering over 6,000km with contract price of over N2 Trillion.”

‎However, Fashola stated that government’s ability to achieve connectivity of Inter-state roads would largely depend on capital spending in the 2016 budget.

He said it became imperative to pay contractors and get them back to work as soon as possible.

“Our short term strategy will be to start with roads that have made some progress and can be quickly completed to facilitate connectivity. We will prioritize within this strategy by choosing first the roads that connect states together and from that grouping start with those that bear the heaviest traffic.

“As at May 2015, many contractors have stopped work because of payment, and many fathers and wives employed by them have been laid off as a result.

“Some of the numbers from only four companies that were sampled, suggest that at least 5,150 workers have been laid as at March 11, 2015; and if we realize that there are at least 200 contracts pending, on the basis of 1(one) company per contract,” he said.

Analysing the unfortunate situation, Fashola explained that, “If each contractor has only 100 employees at each of the 200 contract sites, it means at least that 20,000 people who lost their jobs can return to work if the right budget is put in place and funded for contractors to get paid.

“The possibility to return those who have just lost their jobs back to work is the kind of change that we expect to see by this short term strategy.”

“In order to make the roads safer, we intend to re-claim the full width and set back of all Federal roads, representing 16% and about 36,000km of Nigeria’s road network by immediately now asking all those who are infringing on our highways, whether by parking, trading, or erection of any inappropriate structure to immediately remove, relocate or dismantle such things voluntarily. This will be the biggest contribution that citizens can offer our country as proof that we all want things to change for the better,” Fashola added.

this man has started again, propaganda at work by his well oiled media team.
I expect to see him blame GEJ more often as time goes on just to hide his inefficiency.

Please do the work, stop talking and let Nigerian assess you/your predecessor after 3/4 yrs.

omohayek:
Unfortunately you have the order of things the wrong way round. Without electricity tariffs that reflect actual costs, what incentive can there be for providers to generate more electricity? Do you think they are in business to make losses? Why should foreign investors bring their funds into Nigeria's power sector without any assurance that they're going to recoup their money? If anything, Fashola is not being bold enough, as the correct thing to do would be to completely abolish government controls on tariffs.

The "awoof" mentality is precisely what's wrong with Nigeria today. Why are people surprised when they get no more than they're willing to pay for?

what do you mean by awoof mentality?
Fashola telling Nigerians to pay more for electricity that is not available.
he better make power more available before asking for increase in Tariff.

please lets give him room to work while we closely monitor every move he makes


God bless Nigeria
God help PMB

really ?
six months = 6 x 30days = 180 days, nothing to show for it.
please take look at Tanzania and Canada whose leaders are under 100 days, and see what leadership is.

INEC what are you waiting for?
Declare Dickson winner

Abdul4trust1:
APC is not likely going to win Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Rivers but they are presently in Edo.

which Edo ?
the way things are right now, PDP will surely win.
