I bet, this will be swept under the carpet. But buhari led administration should know they have sown a bad seed and it will soon germinate to grow and bear fruits for multiplication.

Music icon, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, has commended the Chairman of Globacom Limited, Dr Mike Adenuga Jr., over the Chevalier de la Legion d Honneur, the highest French decoration and award which is one of the most famous world’s awards, conferred on him by the President of France, Mr Emmanuel Macron.

While expressing his delight over the award, Obey noted that it was noteworthy and a testament to his previous ground-breaking recognition within African countries and across the world.

“Just two years ago, he was bestowed the highest national award tagged: ‘The Companion of the Star Ghana (CSG), by Ghana President, John Mahama, and now, the French government is commending him for his tremendous effort towards the growth of Africa and French economy. This is a worthy honour and I am pleased to join other well-meaning Nigerians to celebrate him, especially with the fact that it is a landmark award; as the first Nigerian to ever receive the award since inception. In fact, he is not only a rare asset to Nigeria or Africa, but to entire world,” Obey said.


He also commended Macron for describing the business tycoon as ‘a true role model for Africa’, as well as applauded him on his promotion of the French language and culture in Nigeria, adding that, “the award, however, reflected the commitment of Apesin to the growth and development of telecommunication across Africa by providing employment to many youths in sports, culture, entertainment, among others.”

He acknowledged the French president in identifying with the Nigerian entertainment industry, especially in his quest to have visited the new Afrikan Shrine, in honour of one of the great musicians of the country, the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, while he thanked Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos on his commitment in promoting the entertainment and tourism industries in the state.

“Without doubt, Dr Adenuga is an international philanthropist and a prudent businessman. I am confident that this award will ignite him to intensify his effort in creating more opportunities for Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. We are proud of him. Personally, I am overwhelmed seeing France expressing their gratitude with the prestigious award towards his contributions to the growth of economy.

“I am proud to be a beneficiary of his good works and I am glad we are witnessing this in our time. I pray God will strengthen him to accomplish all his aspirations and good thoughts for the uplift of Africa and the entire world,” Obey added.

He charged other well-meaning Nigerians and Africans to take a cue from Adenuga’s vision to collectively transform and make West Africa a place of pride.

Even an illiterate knows that someone who destroyed something cannot be expected to repair it. Instead, he will destroy it further.
Buhari’s destiny is to steal, loot and destroy our country.

while the present governor has never bought a tube for us but would pay N1000 to call okada operators to rallies to deceive the public that he has supporters,” he explained.

Your second question does not deserve a response

ReformedAPC:
We are always here to burst any idiotic glorification attempts by the jihadist party.... Meanwhile contact us for Kemi Adeosun's NYSC certificate...

ReformedAPC:
PDP projects. Initiated by PDP's Obasanjo, continued by yaradua, and rounded up by PDP's President GEJ. Commissioning tactically delayed by the herdsmen leader to claim cheap glory.

goaldynboy:
The woman should bear the brunt; she is a fraudster and should be punished accordingly!!

What I see here is Afonjah Lagos/Ibadan Express Press trying to rope in and blackmail the National Assembly into the woman's mess!!

When the woman is forging her NYSC Certificate, did she go with the National Assembly?! Before you point at the National Assembly for approving her nomination, you have to first point at Tinubu/ Osibanjo for nominating a fraudster; and then you point at Buhari for negligently appointing a fraudster!!

GavelSlam:
Fayose why dont you want to pay their salaries?

What wrong have they done to you?

Is it a sin to be a worker in Ekiti State?

At least 391 projects were smuggled by Nigerian federal lawmakers into the 2018 budget of two federal government agencies, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report.

The agencies are the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN).

Mostly constituency projects, the 391 were part of the projects President Muhammadu Buhari accused the lawmakers of inserting into the 2018 budget.

The lawmakers, while perusing the document submitted by Mr Buhari in November 2017, increased the total budget from N8.6 trillion to N9.1 trillion.

The alteration didn’t stop at that, the National Assembly increased its budget by N14.5 billion, from N125 billion to N139.5 billion.

The lawmakers, still exercising their power over the budget document, inserted over 6,000 projects into the budgets of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

At least 391 of those projects were found in the budget of SMEDAN and BCDA.

Buhari, Lawmakers Trade Tackles

While signing the budget on June 20, President Buhari raised the alarm that Nigerian lawmakers had tampered with the document sent to them.

Mr Buhari accused them of cutting essential projects and inserting non-essential ones.
“As I mentioned during the presentation of the 2018 Appropriation Bill, we intend to use the 2018 Budget to consolidate the achievements of previous budgets and deliver on Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) 2017-2020.

“It is in this regard that I am concerned about some of the changes that the National Assembly has made to the budget proposals that I presented. The logic behind the Constitutional direction that budgets should be proposed by the Executive is that, it is the Executive that knows and defines its policies and projects.

“Unfortunately, that has not been given much regard in what has been sent to me. The National Assembly made cuts amounting to 347 billion Naira in the allocations to 4,700 projects submitted to them for consideration and introduced 6,403 projects of their own amounting to 578 billion Naira.

Many of the projects cut are critical and may be difficult, if not impossible, to implement with the reduced allocation. Some of the new projects inserted by the National Assembly have not been properly conceptualized, designed and costed and will therefore be difficult to execute.

“Furthermore, many of these new projects introduced by the National Assembly have been added to the budgets of most MDAs with no consideration for institutional capacity to execute them or the incremental recurrent expenditure that may be required,” a dissatisfied Mr Buhari said.

Mr Buhari said he signed the budget despite the irregularities so as not to further slow down the pace of the nation’s economic recovery which had already suffered from the delay in the budget passage by the lawmakers.

Swiftly, both houses responded to the allegations.

Aliyu Abdullahi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, and Abdulrazak Namdas, his House of Representatives counterpart, addressing a joint press briefing on June 22, justified the inclusions.

“You may recall that when the National Assembly passed the 2018 budget, it gave reasons why the budget was increased and why certain projects and programmes had to be provisioned for. However, due to recent developments, it is once again necessary to let Nigerians know …the justification for our actions on the 2018 budget, which were based on our Constitutional responsibilities.

“Adjustments and reductions in the locations, costs and number of projects approved were made in order to address geo-political imbalances that came with the Executive proposal. The introduction of new projects was done to ensure the promotion of the principles of Federal …Character as contained in Section 14, subsection (3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended which states that “the composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in …such manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria…” The number of projects had to be increased in order to give a sense of belonging to every geo-political zone of the country to ensure socio-economic justice, equity, fairness, and to command National loyalty,” they posited in a joint statement.

The two image makers said the national assembly’s move is in tandem with a recent court judgement which affirmed that the budget process is a ‘joint effort’ that must reflect the input of both the executive and the legislature — the latter being the closest representatives of the people.

While this argument continues, more details of the insertions have emerged.

BCDA’s 200 Projects

Documents currently under review by PREMIUM TIMES shows that at least 200 projects were inserted into the budget of BCDA as part of what Mr Buhari passed into law.

The projects were shared among senators and members of the House of Representatives with the principal officers having the lion share.

Senate President Bukola Saraki nominated 12 projects at N1.68 billion, most of which are to be executed in his Kwara Central constituency.

In the House of Representatives, 142 projects were nominated by 83 lawmakers.

Emmanuel Ekom of Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika. State, Akwa Ibom State has the highest number of projects nominated by single lawmaker. His seven projects costs N1.45 billion.

TheGuyNextDoor:
We are talking about Fayose and Ekiti people here not Fayemi and Ekiti people. Some people received the money and failed to show up and nothing will happen to them. Fayemi used to rent crowd and will still rent on the 10th again but still, the difference will still be there no matter how much he pays them.

Only hypocrites and haters will deny the fact that Fayose is not in good relationship with Ekiti people even Fayemi knows this.

Okay.... ask APC supporters why they are angry with Fayose for going around for Eleka.

CilicMarin:
From Twitter to Facebook, Instagram and even here on Nairaland people have been abusing and cursing Governor Fayose for deceiving them today.

Preamble: Fayose declared public holiday today and asked unemployed youths and the civil servants to come to his baby bridge and submit their credentials for employment and the payment of salaries respectively.

However, hardly had they got there than they realized Fayose wanted to use them as part of his "massive crowd" for the election of his puppet.

Please ekiti people can we hear from you guys?

Ipob miscreants stay away from this thread

GetUmad:
What pointed to the fact in the video that it was French President they were cussing?

The rate at which ILLETERATES just caption any video and pictures and their fellow Dunderheads swallow it is just so alarming.


For all we know, that could have been anyone or even any Nigerian politician, State govt/Fed govt entourage that it was purely intended for.

Aegon:
Simple comprehension

1. if 200billion is $500 million today why then are you comparing it with third mainland of the late 1980’s? Did they go for the same exchange rates? If not what is your point?

2. The report said that the FG has already paid 14 billion in an arrangement that failed. Who determined the extent of work already done at 30%? Did you make that up? the article didn’t capture that

3. The project is to cover a 2km bridge and almost 12km bypass road almost 14 km of superhighway.

Read the article again before you type rubbish. The problem is not Buhari but your poor understanding.

Ategberoson:
see this glorify human being, na everyone be ipob to u. what else do u know in your life rather than been supporting buhari incompetencies up and down just because of 30k npower salary

zombieTRACKER:

Blood sucking entity

Ategberoson:
if your brain is appreciating in line with 21 century, you would know nothing is adding to Nigeria development since the emergence of buhari or can you point out what's working out now in Nigeria presently even the president indirectly admitted his incompetencies and here you're ready to define how dumb you're publicly


you think true form of govt is online debate or loyalty to an individual, don't know why you these morons feel you know sth when your brain is below governmental functions

Ategberoson:
pls check the meaning of competent before saying rubbish here
