You should read this

Mention any achievements of Sambo as Vice President.

I'm waiting!

He is not even a match for the intellectual capability of Osinbajo to perform

I'm in full support, no work, no pay.
SIMPLE

AutosBay:
There is nothing stopping us from embarking on the strike action which is scheduled to start on Monday 2nd December 2019. Enough of this deceit. Until we see alert rolling in, that strike action will go on as planned.


If you feel you aren't supporting this move, you can go ahead and continue with work at your place of primary assignment ...�

TeeMoney99:
It's a new ministry. You all should give them time to settle and find a permanent way to attend to all your needs in time.

It's easy to say this because you are not part of it.

They have not been paid for 2 months, and you are asking for time?

Put yourselves in their shoes, December starts tomorrow, many of them have bills to pay.

Worse still, no official statement has been put out on the issue, not a single one.

Even if they don't pay yet, there should be communication, the over 500,000 undergraduates who are participants should be treated with respect, SIMPLE!

Dont mind him!

Akious2k2:

It's 2 months, not 1

Exactly my point, it wouldn't happen when it was under Osinbajo

icon007:
APC, new broom sweeps dirty!

Ministry of disaster don cause disaster for npower.


If you all must know, the money is being fixed by the cabal, something they couldn't do while it was still under PYO

You call a scheme that was created to employ over 500,000 jobless youths vote buying?

The current situation is just sad, the intention at the beginning was good.

The switch of the program from the VP's office to this newly created ministry is a big part of the problem in my opinion.

zuchyblink:
Npower has overstayed it's usefulness (systematic vote buying) election is over

Where is the lie?

They are normally paid around this time every month.

November ends tomorrow, incase you are sleeping on a calender.

They didn't pay October, they were completely silent about it. what is the guarantee that November will be paid?

Any Npower beneficiary here received October, November payment?

I guess not, this is sad!

A federal govt programme aimed at employing unemployed graduates.

Transferring the scheme to The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development was a big mistake

Thousands of NPOWER volunteers are currently lamenting unpaid stipends for the past 2 months, NigerianEye.com recalls that the NPOWER program, which is part of the National Social Intervention Programme (NSIP) hitherto under Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo’s watch was moved to a new ministry, The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development on the 1st of October, 2019

The innovative social programme in which government budgets N500 billion yearly had been under the office of the Vice President since it was launched in 2016 with over 500,000 beneficiaries, mostly Nigerian graduates.

However the movement of the NPOWER program from the office of the Vice President to a newly created ministry has resulted into non-payment of October and November stipends which has generated lots of angry reactions from the participants. They have lamented that they no longer enjoy the benefits of the scheme since it was moved away from the office of the Vice President, and threatened to go on strike.

Speaking with NigerianEye.com, a beneficiary who didn't want his name in print, said the payment was very smooth and commendable when it was under the office of the Vice President, but things have gone sour now. He also lamented that many of them could not voice out because of fear of being disengaged after they did not receive October stipends, but they can't take it anymore.

He said
"It is extremely inhuman and act of wickedness for the said Ministry now in charge of Npwer to treat 500,000 Nigerian Npower graduates like a kid. The question I ask myself is that “Removing Npower from the office of the Vice President , Is it a wrong move?” believe it or not, when the office of the Vice President was in charge of Npower , even before getting up to this, they would have released official statement telling volunteers the reason for the delay payment and afterwards , apologize. That is the office that respect the graduates and as such treat us as one.

For me, even the support group are kept in the dark and that is the reason up till now, no one has been able to give us concrete reason for the delay of the stipends. With due respect to the Honourable Minister whom I believe is a mother to all especially being a woman, I don’t expect this kind of ill treatment from her to the volunteers. I expect before now, she would have officially informed beneficiaries the real reason for the delay through her social media page, but instead, she kept mute and decided not to reply to any question posed to her by Npower volunteers through her social media page. This is wrong and unacceptable because they aren’t doing us a favour, it is our right and we deserve to be paid work done"

He continued,.

"We therefore call on the Hon. Minister to come out and tell us what is actually happening. If the program will continue or they are planning to scrap it, we deserve to know the reality on ground.

When exactly are they going to pay us??

Any other update aside from the one from the Hon minister is not acceptable and will never be taken as reliable information.

Volunteers can no longer cope having to transport themselves to their place of primary assignment.

We charged all volunteers starting from Monday, 2nd December to stay at home, no pay, no work"

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management &Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq could not be reached for comments as at the time of this report.

Audio vp

Best VP in the history of Nigeria still

Definitely couple goals, starting from nothing to something and staying together for 30 years is not beans

“They said 35 people were sacked in the VP’s office but this is FALSE. We created a ministry & reorganized but people are giving it an ethnic and political dimension.
It is unfortunate” - BUHARI

Thank God, rumours about the list of Osinbajo's sacked aides can finally rest!

PapaBaby:
Jack Mamman Daura is visiting next.

You just have to give credit when it's due.

VP Osinbajo invited him personally, and didn't come alone , he brought several investors with him.

This is the richest man in all of Asia, we are talking about here

Shooyie:
I'm very sure the meeting will do Nigerians good. And i also smell more investments. The VP always have Nigerians in mind. Long live the VP.

Absolutely, Intrestingly, Ma was specially invited by VP Osinbajo
And according to the Channelstv report, he led a large delegation of foreign inventors to Nigeria

Many people are quick to jump on negatives, this is a very big positive, VP Osinbajo did excellently well on this one

ziegurf:
Errand boss is short of words......

Must ou always criticize?

This is a laudable feat, our VP should be commended

300 is even small.
A governor in South-South allegedly had over 3000 aides

Yet some clowns are crying over Osinbajo's 35

Tobilobaaaaaa:
I once read about a governor that has over 300 aides, so what's the fuse about the number of Osinbajo aides?

We don't know our problem in this country.

Star boy holding it down!

Lydia696:
Safe trip sir, More grace on the meeting and keeping doing the work

By Abdurahman Bichi

I have heard some people arguing that the VP had too many people employed under his office. They need to get themselves educated on the duties assigned to him and the need for him to carry out those duties diligently, in the first term.



For example the Social Investment Programme (SIP) has a budget of N500b .



It encompasses:



i. N-Power, the employment and management of 500,000 young graduates across the country

ii. Home Grown Free School Feeding

iii. Conditional Cash Transfer

iv. Market Money, Traders Money.



The budget and reach of the effort to execute that is more than what most of the states in Nigeria do. There is no state with 500 billion Naira budget, more so the need to incubate such program from the scratch free from any scandal and ensuring to coordinate a vast array of state and federal agencies.



A program that feeds more people than people that live in Liberia; add this to his job of propagating MSME across the country, leading presidential ease of doing business (PEBEC), engaging the national industrialization council or leading the various efforts statutorily under his purview from Borders/Boundaries to Privatization, BPE and NDPHC.


He equally was in charge of the National Economic Council, under which jointly with governors they manage issues about power, investments in agriculture (NLTP) and several other issues.



Doing this work, for which he has been praised requires dedication of individuals who are experts in these areas. These individuals have succeeded. Someone who managed the SIP program with less than 40 persons, it will be interesting to see if the new Ministry will be manned by just 40 persons. Of course it won’t. They will have a whole web of consultants, agency staff, Ministry staff, drivers, messengers and cooks.



Most states in Nigeria have between 5,000 and 30,000 employees excluding teachers and doctors. Most of them also have budgets less than 100 billion per annum covering territories 1/36 the size of the jurisdiction of Vice President’s duties delegated by the President, by law or the constitution.



The team the Vice President has was optimal for his work, and he continued to optimize which was why he redeployed his team to MDAs as soon as some of the programs matured and the President whom he holds in high esteem approved for their spin-off into ministries. This was the case with PEBEC and SIP.

The Vice Presdient should be allowed to do his job of making Nigeria a better place for us all without any limitation.

Many Nigerian journalists have sold their souls for brown envelope.

tommyken:
Atiku Abubakar to me is the most powerful and hardworking Vice-president the country has ever produce. Although he has his negative side but that wont stop me from saying the truth about him.
ATIKU is very, very Competent.

Over 20 billion dollars spent on power under his supervison.
Extremely competent, thanks to him, we now have 24/7 power supply all over Nigeria.

So competent indeed!

What news do you follow?
Y'all just jump on the bandwagon and follow false allegations.
Prof Osinbajo has asked to be probed for the false 90 billion allegation even while he is still in government.
He is ready to let down his immunity, he is that confident that he's clean.
He has cleared himself from the false allegations made up by the cabal, he has asked for his immunity to be removed to be probed, what else do you want ?
How many Nigerian leaders in the history of the country can confidently ask to be probed while in government?

MelesZenawi:



The most hardworking president in Nigeria history is Atiku Abubakar and Alex Ekwueme then Goodluck
Jonathan.

With Atiku working side Obj, he was able to achieve much. Very diligent and meticulous.
I should say restless vice president, all just to achieve the Nigeria goal that buhari and Osibanjo has just raped their achievements to asses.

Atiku alongside Obasanjo walked tirelessly and they also worked with best hands as ministers even during recession we over.



Ekwueme working alongside shehu shagari did a marvelous work. Infact I daresay that the best happened in putting Nigeria in track before democratic destroyer came and destroyed Everything these men laboured for.



Another hard working vice president is Goodluck jonathan even during trying times yar'dua was sick he carried the whole nation along not tribalistically awarding contracts to his people like Osibanjo did. Jonathan worked hard.


Osibanjo working alongside buhari....both are just disasters to the nation. They messed everywhere up and took the country 50 years backward.


Till today, he couldn't account for 90bn that was looted under him...He is a lazy man.

maybanks:
Obla should just come out of his hiding and face the consequence of his actions.

Exactly!

He is just looking for excuses, I don't know when Prof Osinbajo turned to ICPC/EFCC chairman

Joylove2324:
Obla should just face his trial and leave Osinbajo alone....Ole
