The Senate Minority Leader and member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Godswill Akpabio has appealed to Nigerians not to blame the current economy woes on the All Progressives Congress, APC, led government.
Addressing journalists in Arochukwu, Abia State, Akpabio said the country’s current economic challenge was a global phenomenon orchestrated by the steady fall in oil prices.

Akpabio who advocated for diversification of the economy said the global economic meltdown is being felt more by Nigerians because the country runs a mono-economy built around oil.

He enjoined the Federal Government to pay attention to other sector of the economy like mining, agricultural and entrepreneurship ventures and as well as foreign direct investment to boost the country’s revenue base.

Akpabio said, “So, what has happened here is that with the massive failure, what we call oil glut in the market, the oil price has reduced below what we expected in the last 20 years. That automatically has affected our economy.

“It has nothing to do with which administration is in power. It has something to do with resources to be able to deliver the dividend of democracy.”

The former Governor while admitting the effect of the harsh economy on the citizenry sued for patience from Nigerians and solicited support for the present administration in the interest of the country.

“The country belongs to all of us and if the country collapses on our heads, it means that we bequeath nothing to our children,” he said.

Only in their dream and imagination.

Details of the budget will not be available for President Muhammadu Buhari until mid-April, lawmakers said yesterday.

Presidency sources said Buhari will not assent to the document unless the details are attached because the lawmakers merely sent a summary to him.

The Senate Appropriation Committee is working on the details.

House of Representatives Appropriation Committee Chairman Abdumumin Jubrin said there was nothing unusual in passing the budget and sending the details to the President later.

He said this was done during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure.

[b]According to him, given the “lots of omissions” and being the most difficult budget we’ve ever dealt with”, the least the executive should do is to be grateful to the lawmakers.

”I think if they’re not thanking us, they cannot throw stones at the National Assembly,” he added.

Jubrin said: “We in the National Assembly believe that this is the most difficult budget we have ever dealt with. Of course, you all recall that the Medium Term Expenditure Framework ( MTEF) came very late; we accepted it, we dealt with it. The budget itself came late; we accepted it and we dealt with it.

“The budget has had a lot of challenges, which have to do with multiple budget details and, of course, ministers, heads of MDAs coming to disown their budgets. There were other key omissions in the 2016 budget that the National Assembly had to deal with.

“ In some instances, we discovered that budgetary allocations were not in tandem with the policy thrust of the Federal Government, which is part of the responsibility of the Appropriation Committee, to look into that and try to align the allocations to match the policy thrust of government.

“And, of course, we saw a lot of omissions, inadequate provision for personnel across board.

“I’ve explained to you several times that the case of Prisons ration that was reduced far below the federal Government approved rates. We talked about the NYSC where only 210,000 members were captured as against 260,000. All these we did our best to see how to address these issues and a lot also could not be addressed.”[/b]

He said other areas the National Assembly intervened was to align the budget with the security thrust, anti- corruption drive and economic diversification Programmes of the government

Most members of the Senate Committee on Appropriation met for over two hours yesterday to harmonise the controversial budget. Many of the 14 members attended.

The meeting was held in the office of Senator Mohammed Danjuma Goje, its chairman.

A member of the Committee claimed that “the intention of the National Assembly was to transmit highlights of the 2016 budget while work continues on the details.”

The committee member who spoke in confidence further claimed that “there is no doubt that the budget as presented by Mr. President was full of errors and repetitions which made work on the Appropriation Bill more cumbersome.”

He said: “ We were in a fix few days to the passage of the 2016 budget when the National Assembly Budget and Research Office (NABRO) brought copies of the booklet they published, which contained errors they discovered in the 2016 budget.

“We had to agree that highlights of the budget be passed and transmitted to the Presidency while we withheld the details so that we can cross check the claims of NABRO in the booklet. From the look of things, it will take another two to three weeks for us to conclude work on the budget. We are not alone; financial experts are also involved in the scrutiny.

“As has been said by a top government functionary on some other national issues, we too are not magicians to correct an Appropriation Bill full of errors and outright distortions in a day.

“You can see that we are working round the clock to give the country an implementable budget.”

The NABRO booklet contains errors, repetitions and padding in the fiscal document.

It involved alleged fresh padding of over N500 billion contained in the budgetary proposals for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and the Service Wide Votes.

NABRO said it published the document to give technical support to members of the legislature by pointing out some errors in the budget.”

It said: “Given the current challenge of abnormalities in the 2016 budget proposal where projects are repeated more than once in the budget, and others undefined, NABRO rose to the occasion by providing the legislature with an accurate and inclusive review of the line items in the 2016 appropriation bill.”

Goje declined to speak with reporters yesterday on the fresh round of controversy on the budget.

The Lagos State University Students Union (LASUSU) ‎on Wednesday disclosed thatthe autopsy report on the death of a 200 level female students confirmed that she died naturally.
Mr Tayo Sekoni, the LASUSU President, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

He spoke to NAN on the sideline of a news briefing organised by the union at the institution’s main campus in Ojo, Lagos.

Sekoni said the autopsy report confirmed that Gbadeyan’s death was natural and unconnected to anyone.

He said that following the autopsy report, the students union filed a case on behalf of 11 students suspended by the university authority in connection with the incident

“Since nobody was connected to Gbadeyan’s death, the suspension had been lifted by the management.

He said the union taught it was unwise for the suspended students to be ‎ punished for a sin they did not commit and the university‎ authority reasoned with the union’s view.

“We, however, pray the departed soul will rest in peace,’’ he said.

NAN recalls that Miss Omolara Gbadeyan, a female student in the Department of Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, Faculty of Management Science in the university, died on Feb 11.

She died at a party hosted by the History and International Studies Students Association at an event centre in Igando, Igando/Ikotun Local Government Development Area.

A bulletin issued by the university authority had said the organisers of the party did not inform it nor seek its approval for the event.

According to the university, this is contrary to the rules and regulations of the institution.

“The university management received the shocking news after the sad event had occurred and immediately swung into action,’’ the bulletin stated.

NAN also recalled that the authorities later suspended 11 former executive members of the Students Society of History and International Studies (SSOHIS) indefinitely over the incident.

It said the students were the organisers of the party that led to the death of Gbadeyan.

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, on Wednesday refuted claims that the House of Assembly as well as the entire state were in crises.
Addressing State House correspondents after meeting with the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Bello said the State House of Assembly was sitting and all legislative works were ongoing.

Bello’s remark follows a reports that the State House of Assembly has been in crises for the past three months due to leadership tussle.

The crisis was said to have assumed a new dimension as the complex was sealed by security operatives yesterday.

But Bello in his remark said, “My house is sitting and we have absolute peace in Kogi state, I am not aware of that. The National Assembly was supposed to have taken over, the state is absolutely in peace and the legislative activities are ongoing.

“I am the executive and the executive is functioning and we are doing the best we can, so legislature is their own business and they are on it.

“I have a speaker that is sitting right now. So I don’t know if there is any problem there,” he added

Stating that the state applied for the bailout funds, the governor said, “We applied for it and its under processing right now I have not gotten any bail-out yet.

“Well I think to the best of my knowledge, the last administration either did not go on with the process properly, we are now to trying to correct whatever was not done properly, so that we can access it for our people.”

Bello who called on people of the state to join him in fixing the state that has suffered for a long time, said, “This is not the time for political crisis. This is the time to work and I am here to work. I am not here to have any political fuss with anybody; whoever is ready should join me and let’s fix Kogi state.”

The National Union of Petroleum and Natural gas Workers on Wednesday assured that normalcy would soon return to filling stations nationwide if the current tempo of loading at the depots continued till the weekend.
The South-West Chairman of the union, Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.

Korodo said that the NNPC commenced massive pumping of petrol to its depot at Mosinmi early this week and loading of petroleum trucks had started.

“Going round some depots in Lagos, I observed that loading was going on and more filling stations are selling the product at the control price.

“Some filling stations that are selling between N130 and N150 will be forced to sell at control price when the market is flooded with petrol.

“If NNPC can keep the tempo of the loading till weekend, more filling stations will have petrol and the queue of motorists at filling stations will reduce.

“The corporation should ensure that it keeps on pumping petrol to both major and independent marketers’ depots to reduce the scarcity,” he said.

The chairman appealed to NNPC management to ensure that it carried along all stakeholders in the oil and gas sector so that the fuel scarcity could end as promised.

Korodo urged the corporation to maintain the current loading system at depots.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, had on March 29, said that the long queues in the petrol stations would disappear by April 7.
