Good day peeps. S A

The Federal Government has approved the setting up of a Task Force to address the rising cost of food items across the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, told State House correspondents alongside the Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun and Minister of State for Aviation Hadi Sirika.
The meeting, which was held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, was presided over by the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
Mohammed said the Federal Government was concerned over the exorbitant prices of the food items and is determined to something urgently to reverse the trend.
Members of the task force include the ministers of agriculture, finance, water resources and transportation.
“The council has resolved to set up task force on food security. Government is quite concerned about the rising cost of food items and the fact that more often than not, even when these products are available and are in the market, they are sold at very exorbitant prices.
“So, the government has set up a task force on food security to ensure that an end is put to the wastages that occur and with tons and tons of produce lying fallow in farms or getting rotten in markets.
“It is an inter-ministerial committee made up of the ministers of agriculture, finance, water resources, transportation,’’ he said.
Mohammed said the task force, which has one week to submit its interim report to the Council, would suggest areas of intervention by the government.
He stated that the intervention could be in the area of subsidy in transportation.
He said: “This is being worked out, but this goes to show that government is very much concerned about the rising cost of food and we are responding to it.
“The committee, hopefully, is expected to report back to council next week, and concrete actions would be taken.
In his contribution, the Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, disclosed that the council had approved the procurement of 10 new coaches to boost rail transportation on the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge railway.
Sirika said that the new coaches would enhance transportation of passengers and goods following the impending closure of the Abuja airport.
The minister revealed that the council also approved the construction of joint briefing offices in all 21 Federal Government airports across the country.
“The joint briefing offices will include the air automation and will co-locate the track-up projects, the total radar coverage, the air automation system, which include the pilot briefing offices.’’
The airport are that of Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ilorin, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Jos, Yola, Calabar, Enugu, Owerri, Kaduna, Benin, Osubi-Warri, Katsina, Zaria, Minna, Bauchi, Ibadan and Akure.

Abuja – The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has recommended a nationwide ban on commercial motorcycles popularly known as `Okada’ to reduce accidents on our roads.
The recommendation forms part of the October Road Traffic Crash (RTC) Report 2016, submitted by the Corps Marshal, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
The report made available to the News of Nigeria (NAN) quotes Oyeyemi as saying that commercial motorcyclist, remained a major cause of fatal road traffic accidents across the country, hence the need for state governments to consider banning them from operating.
The RTC statistics for October 2016, shows that 230 cases or 18 per cent of a total of 1,259 vehicles were involved in accidents within the month, majority were commercial motorcycles.
According to the report, motorcycle accidents ranked third after cars which accounted for 457 cases or 36 per cent, followed by minibuses with 243 or 19 per cent of the total.
Oyeyemi said, “Following the outcome of the analysis, it could be concluded that motorcycle still constitutes serious menace on the nation’s highways.
“Accordingly, improved results could be achieved in the future, if more state governments could consider placing a ban on the use of motorcycle for commercial purposes.
“In view of the above, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation should facilitate and encourage state governments to ban the use of motorcycle for commercial purposes.’’
NAN reports that commercial motorcycle is currently banned from major routes in some cities and towns including Abuja and state capitals across the country.
Besides their contributions to road accidents, they have also been linked to the operations of armed robbers, kidnappers and other criminals in several parts of the country.
In 2014, the National Council on Transport recommended their ban nationwide “to ensure adequate provision of safe and secure means of transportation in the country’’.
Reports say Anambra and Lagos states had for over two years now, banned the use of commercial motorcycle on highways in their territories.
