The new national identity card will replace
the current voters card after the 2015 general
elections, the National Identity Management
Commission , has said.
The Director of Technical Services at the
commission, Mr Emma Ogungbe told the
News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Abuja
that the identity card would enhance the
integrity of the electoral process.
He explained that with the new identity card,
NIMC could give the details of every eligible
voter from a particular Local Government
Area, Senatorial District or State in Nigeria.
“During election, you go to a polling booth,
you get in there, what you do is carry your ID
card with you, they check your name against
what NIMC is giving them, tick it and you
vote.”
Ogungbe assured Nigerians that the new
national ID card would put a permanent end
to cases of election rigging including double
or multiple registrations or voting.
He said the “new card is error-proof’’.
“In fact, one of the ministers not long ago
even came out to say after the 2015, the
NIMC National ID card will become the
voters’ card.
“So, that just tells us that very soon, the
National ID card will also become the voters
card and there would be no need for ad hoc
registration by INEC again.
“That money can now be used by government
for other purposes to better serve Nigerians.
“We (NIMC) are able to identify you to be
you. A time will come if government says
NIMC, give me details of everyone in Lagos
State, ages 18 and above, we will give it to
them; it will be a seamless operation.
“Give me the list of people in so-so local
government or the whole of Anambra state
ages 18 and above, we will give it to them
because they’ve already been in our database
and it’s been sanitised, we know they are
who they say they are.’’

There are indications that the Federal
Government will stop kerosene subsidy in
2014 bringing to an end a scheme that has
been widely criticised as corrupt and
controversial.
Our correspondent learnt on Wednesday that
no provision was made for kerosene subsidy
in the N4.77tn 2014 budget proposal
presented to the National Assembly by
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ministry of Finance sources, who gave the
hint, said the budget proposal did not make
any provision for kerosene subsidy.
The Federal Government spent N634bn to
subsidise the retail price of kerosene in the
past three years.
The Chairman, House Committee on
Petroleum (Downstream), Mr. Dakuku
Peterside, who recently condemned this as
wasteful spending, also said N110bn was
spent on kerosene subsidy in 2010, N324bn
in 2011 and N200bn in 2012, which came up
to N634bn in the three years.
He said, “In the year 2010, we spent
N110,068,533,988 to subsidise kerosene. This
is not the cost of kerosene but the cost of
subsidising the product alone. In 2011, it got
worse and the government spent
N324,089,961,319 on kerosene subsidy.
Although we have yet to reconcile this, we
spent N200bn in subsidising kerosene in
2012.
“So, in three years, we have spent N634bn
subsidising kerosene. This is one third of
what we spend in a year on capital budget.”
Despite the huge spending on Kerosene
subsidy, the masses could not, until recently,
buy the product at the regulated price of
N40.90k per litre.
They had settled for alternative sources of
energy such as firewood, charcoal, sawdust,
electricity and gas.
However, this has recently changed as the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
through the Independent Petroleum Marketers
Association of Nigeria and the Depot and
Petroleum Products Marketers Association,
has been selling kerosene at N50 per litre.
Commenting on this, the President, Nigerian
Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association, Mr.
Dayo Adeshina, said it would be a welcome
idea if kerosene subsidy could be stopped by
the government.
He said, “Government needs to take a
conscious decision to drive a mass shift from
kerosene to LPG as it was done in Indonesia.
The Indonesian government took a conscious
decision to stop kerosene subsidy, which was
gulping $9bn a year. They found that they
would only need to invest $2bn in cylinder
and cooking stoves to save $7bn.
“We need to get to that level when we will
consciously shift from kerosene to LPG and
that can only happen with the right
government policy.”
Adeshina argued that the N634bn spent on
kerosene subsidy had little impact on the
masses, saying it enriched only a few people.

are u now satisfy..don't judge others with mistake correction is accepted...

I-G orders adequate security in varsity
campuses nationwide
Abuja – The Inspector-General of Police, Mr
Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered immediate
provision of adequate security in and around
university campuses nationwide.
This is contained in a statement issued by CSP
Frank Mba, the Force Public Relations Officer,
on Thursday in Abuja.
The statement said the measure was designed
to secure life and property in the institutions
and provide enabling environment for lecturers,
students and other members of staff to go about
their lawful businesses without hindrance.
“The directive is a proactive and confidence-
boosting measure designed to ensure that
nothing untoward happens in our academic
communities,” it said.
The statement directed all Command
Commissioners of Police to personally oversee
the intensification of surveillance in universities
in their states.
It ordered them to “take all necessary security
measures needed to provide for the safety and
security of members of staff and students as
well as property within the various Campuses”.
It urged lecturers, students and Nigerians within
the institutions to remain law-abiding and go
about their legitimate businesses without fear of
molestation or intimidation from any quarters.
It will be recalled that the Federal Government
on Thursday gave universities lecturers, who
had been on strike since July, one week
ultimatum to resume academic activities.

Nasir Fagge and Goodluck Jonathan
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has
said the Federal Government’s December 4
ultimatum issued to universities teachers to
return to the classrooms is a clear indication
that the government is not committed to
implementing any of the resolutions it
reached with the union.
While reacting to the threat of the Federal
Government to sack the lecturers if they fail
to call off their five-month strike by
Wednesday nest week, ASUU National
Treasurer, Dr. Ademola Aremu, said the union
was shocked that the government could have
such plan when there was a shortfall of
60,000 lecturers in Nigerian universities,
owing to the government’s failure to employ
enough teachers.
He added that the threat would not hinder
the union’s determination to ensure that
Nigerian universities were well funded.
He said, “It is a pity if the Federal
Government is not willing to perfect the
resolutions reached with the union. This is
why we find it difficult to trust our leaders by
their words. How can someone be threatening
to sack lecturers when universities are
already short-staffed by almost 60,000? We
are not in a military era. The military tried it
and failed. This one will fail again. They can
re-open the schools. ASUU did not shut the
universities; it was the school management
that ordered the students to go back home.”
ASUU added that the FG was wasting the
time of Nigerians and youths in the country
by failing to perfect the resolutions so that
classes could resume in the schools.
Making reference to the failure of the
government to honour the agreements it
entered with resident doctors and health
workers after they suspended their strikes, the
union said it had reasons to be wary of the
government, adding that the threat was an
insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians who
were waiting for the government for a
positive reaction.
“With the latest action, the government has
shown that it is not committed to all it has
been saying. We are saying that since we
agreed at the meeting that the sum of
N200bn is for 2012 and 2013 revitalisation,
the government should deposit same in the
Central Bank of Nigerian. We are already in
November and December is around the
corner. If they don’t do that now, when do
they want to do it?” Aremu said.

ASUU, FG meet in Presidential Villa to resolve
strike
Vice President Namadi Sambo led the Federal
Government team in a renewed negotiation with
ASUU to resolve the lingering strike that has
crippled the universities.
The meeting held at Aguda house, Presidential
Villa on Friday.
In attendance on the part of the Federal
Government were the Supervising Minister of
Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike, Executive
Secretary of National Universities Commission,
NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie and technical staff of
the Federal Ministry of Education.
Scan-News gathered that ASUU President, Dr
Nasir Isa Fagge and his executives were
accompanied to the meeting by Committee of
Vice Chancellors leadership.
It was learnt that an earlier meeting between
Barr. Wike and ASUU leadership teased out
areas of possible concession of both sides.
Scan News gathered the Federal Government
may concede to ASUU the right to participate as
a major stakeholder in the execution of NEEDS
Implementation Projects in the universities.
ASUU had complained that the Suswam
Committee excluded them from the
implementation of projects in the universities.
On the part of ASUU, the meeting agreed that
they should suspend their strike, while the
process of implementation continues.
A Vice Chancellor of a northern university
attending the meeting said that key issues will
be ratified and the strike may be resolved in
less than two weeks.
According to him, the vigour and forthrightness
introduced by the Supervising Minister of
Education, Barr. Wike who opened diplomatic
channels with ASUU leadership.
“Our belief is that with the ground work already
done, this strike should not last more than two
weeks”, he said.
If they strike a compromise, the Federal
Government will release ASUU’s september
Salary today and the lecturers will get their
alert next week, it was gathered.
The leaders after the two hours meeting that
ended about 2pm on Friday did not issue a
statement. Scan News gathered that they will
reconvene on Monday before Sallah.

ASUU STRIKE LATEST: "NO WORK, NO
PAY" now implemented.
The Federal Government has resolved to
stop the salaries of protesting universities
lecturers over the ongoing strike of the its
Academic body, ASUU.
The decision to invoke the “no work, no
pay” rule was said to have been officially
taken yesterday, even though some
universities had earlier complained of no
salaries since August.
It was gathered that the government has
passed a directive to the various
universities governing councils to stop
payment of salaries of the striking lecturers
forthwith.
The ASUU Zonal Chairman in Abuja, Mr
Clement Chup confirmed the development
yesterday after a zonal conference of
ASUU, University of Abuja chapter, which
took place at the Gwagwalada campus to
review the nationwide strike.
He said his colleagues were yet to receive
their September salaries.
According to him, “we have resorted to
other welfare strategies to cope with the
effect of the strike, particularly to contain
the various attempts by government to
break the resolve
of the union.
“Part of the welfare strategy, involved
distributing food items, giving out soft
loans and cash advances to members.”
He urged members of the public to ignore
the rumour that the strike has been called
off.
He said: “Nigerians should disregard
rumours making the rounds that the three
months old
strike has been called off”, adding that “the
strike continues until the government
demonstrates a positive inclination
towards
implementing the 2009 agreements and the
2012 Memorandum of Understanding
signed by both parties.”

FUNAAB DOESN'T HAVE PLANS TO PROVIDE
FREE INTERNET FOR FUNAABITES- LOCO( SUG
PRESIDENT).
All hopes of looking forward to free internet next
session in Funaab, might just be a dream
afterall. As the SUG confirms in a twitter
conversation with us, that Funaab doesnt have
plans to give out free internet but are working
towards providing Internet coverage all around
the school. When asked he said: "d one
(internet) we are working out av just been
informed that we will pay for it.".
Then we asked if it wud be cheap, he replied: "It
depends....I think they are proposing 5000..I
will soon bring out d debate". We later asked if
it is for a session or a semster and if d price
might be reduced, he replied: "it is for a session
actually..... # proposed...evrytin is subject to
student willingness..." and "yes" the price might
be reduced.
We also went on to ask about this year's
admission list for the recently conluded post
ume and when it might be released, he said:
"It shld av been released bt for d ASUU strike,
They have issues to sort out with ASUU
Unaab...., d list wud be released As soon as
ASUU agress to it..".
So Funaabites what do u think about this
development? And Aspirants as u can see ASUU
Funaab are the ones delaying the list.
