Politics › Obasanjo Insists Buhari’s Govt Has Failed by engineerboat(op): 6:57pm On Apr 02, 2018*

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again criticised the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, maintaining that the government has failed.

The former president said this on Monday when he received members of the New Nigeria group at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

“The first lesson I learnt in my military training is never reinforce failure; what we have now is failure. Never you reinforce failure, let failure be failure,” he said.

Obasanjo had on Tuesday (January 23, 2018) issued a 13-page statement, criticising President Buhari’s performance and calling for a new movement to salvage the country from its challenges.

He had also warned the President against seeking re-election, alleging that the present government has failed in one of the areas it pitched as its ‘key point of action’ when it assumed office – the anti-corruption fight.

Incompetent Government?

Addressing members of the New Nigeria group at his residence today, the former president rated the present administration as ineffective.

He said, “The truth is this – when you have an ineffective and incompetent government, we are all victims and don’t let anybody deceive you.

“Those of you who are in business, your business could have been better today if we have a competent and effective and performing government.”

Obasanjo also accused the President of having a “poor understanding” of the dynamics of internal politics.

He warned Nigerians not to get carried away by the recent apology tendered by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as well as the reforms of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“This time, for us to make it, we need all hands on deck,” Obasanjo stated. “I have publicly said and I mean it that as a party, neither PDP nor APC can get us there; never mind about reforms and apology and all that,” he said.

Obasanjo further asked the APC to stop giving excuses that it has yet to perform better because it met challenges, noting that the party was aware of the challenges before it wrestled power from the PDP.

He then asked youths in the country to rise up to the challenge of providing the much needed new generation of leadership for the development of Nigeria’s socio-economic and political development.

The former president also asked the younger generation to take the bull by the horn, if they must effectively confront “power addicts” in their resolve to achieve the set goals and objectives of providing an alternative in the political leadership of the country.

He stressed the need for a “strong popular grassroots movement” in Nigeria, saying that’s the way to bring about the change, sustainability and stability the nation needs in its democracy

On the flip said, the former president said, “You cannot take PDP as it is, and APC as it is; but they are not all made of evil people, there are good people. I said PDP is leprous hand, APC is leprous hand, but there are some clean fingers in them.

“So, let’s take those clean fingers in them and graft the clean fingers in our own. That is the way to go and if we go that way, we will get there.

Since APC has no single project initiated and

going about commissioning former
President Jonathan's projects, including
those GEJ commissioned before leaving
office.

But when Buhari commissioned the Eko
Atlantic City that GEJ had commissioned
before leaving office, we raised alarm and
@NGRPresident quickly denied that
@MBuhari did not commission Eko Atlantic
City. But as God will expose them
@AkinwumiAmbode had tweeted that Buhari
commissioned it.

Politics › Fayose Names ‘saint Looters’ In Buhari’s Government by engineerboat(op): 7:42am On Mar 31, 2018

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has asked why the Muhammadu Buhari government deliberately left those he described as “saint looters” out of the recently released list of alleged treasury looters.

Governor Fayose asked whether those indicted of corruption by the Buhari administration have suddenly been baptised and made clean by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The governor advised the present government to stop seeking ways to divert the public’s attention from its alleged failures.
RELATED

He urged the Buhari administration to rather tell Nigerians what it has achieved since assuming power three years ago.

Tweeting in the early hours of Saturday, Fayose asked: “What happened to the NHIS Boss, Yusuf (sacked for fraud and reinstated by Buhari), Maina (the pension thief), NNPC boss, Baru ($25bn contract scam), Abba Kyari (N500m MTN scam) and others. Are they Saint Looters?

“Surprisingly, name of PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus (N200m) is on Lai Mohammed clownish “looters” lists, that of Diezani that they claimed to have traced N47.2bn and $487.5m to was missing.Did FG lie against Diezani ab-initio or she is now Baptized into APC comity of Saint Looters?

“The APC Federal Government should rather tell Nigerians its achievements in almost three years in office and stop running after members of opposition both within the APC and in the PDP,” he said.

The WHISTLER recalls that the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had in a statement on Friday named amongst others the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, as of the nation’s treasury looters.

The government accused Secondus of illegally receiving N200 million from the office of the then National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki.

Politics › APC NEC Tenure Elongation: Pr. Buhari Only Epxresses His Personal Opinion APC by engineerboat(op): 10:48pm On Mar 27, 2018

Politics › Confusion In Apc, A Reflection Of Chaos In Governance by engineerboat(op): 9:42pm On Mar 27, 2018

Confusion in APC, A REFLECTION OF CHAOS IN GOVERNANCE

Confusion In APC, A Reflection Of Chaos in Governance. The executive flip-flops by President @MBuhari and his interferences in the internal running of the party, has further exposed the raging impunity, primitive impositions and other undemocratic tendencies in the APC.

The confusion in the APC also directly explains why our country has been in shambles in the last three years. There is no way a party which cannot conduct its affairs in a democratic norm will be able to function in government.

We are therefore not surprised that President Buhari went back to his party’s APC NEC and ordered members to reverse earlier decisions, which they had claimed conformed with the provisions of their constitution.

It is amazing that a party, APC which boasts of belonging to the progressive bent, does not even understand its own rules or the applications thereof. In one breath, the party sought the elongation of tenure for its officials and then in another breath it reversed itself.

Nigerians are no longer at loss as to the reasons for failure of governance, APC policy summersaults and gross incompetence that have brought our nation to its knees in the last three years.

Our takeaway in all these is that the APC is a complete disaster and we urge all democrats still trapped in this sinking ship to immediately exit and join other good-spirited Nigerians in the rebranded and repositioned PDP to make life better for our people.

Politics › You Were Elected With Looted Fund, PDP Replies APC, FG by engineerboat(op): 9:35pm On Mar 27, 2018*

Press Statement

You Were Elected With Looted Fund, PDP Replies APC, FG

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Federal Government to end their false sanctimony and immediately return all stolen funds used to finance President Muhammadu Buhari’s election in 2015 to the Federation Account.

The PDP said the APC and its Federal Government cannot continue to play the saints when state governors, who stole hundreds of billions of naira meant for the development of their states to fund President Buhari in 2015, are still enjoying cover as members of the Buhari kitchen cabinet, despite outrage from Nigerians.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Tuesday, observed that there is no evidence that the PDP, as a party, looted any public fund, adding that, the APC and President Buhari campaigned for the 2015 presidential election with looted billions of naira meant for the provision of essential amenities for ordinary Nigerians.

The party said the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, misfired in his outburst that the PDP should return alleged looted funds, when the only party known to have used looted funds has always been the APC.

It is, to say the least, despicable that the APC and its Federal Government, in their arrogance, would always try to play the saint when they were elected with stolen fund and have continued to reek with filth and sleaze.

Nigerians are aware that prior to the 2015 election, President Buhari had informed that he was insolvent.

He however took Nigerians by surprise as he enjoyed one of the most expensive presidential campaigns in the history of our nation, while turning a blind eye to reports of massive looting of funds from APC controlled states.

Indeed, if there is any party that should refund looted funds, it is the APC, which directly used stolen money to scheme in the election of President Buhari in 2015, while known culpable persons now sit comfortably around the Presidential table, still superintending over the looting of our common patrimony.

This is the APC, whose government, has been rated by international bodies including the Transparency International (TI) which latest report shows that corruption and sleaze had escalated under its watch.

This is the same government where ministers and officials indicted for corruption and looting of public funds, particularly in the oil and gas sector, which is directly under the purview of Mr. President, are shielded and condoned.

Even presently, Mr Adebayo Shittu, the Minister of Communication, has been accused of owing his aides N13m; that he has no fewer than 12 houses across the nation; bought a N93m printing press; bought 25 luxury cars for his personal use, among others.

Yet, nothing has been heard from either the dysfunctional APC or its incompetent federal government.

While the repositioned PDP maintain its unpretentious stance towards Nigerians, we charge the Minister of Information to direct his demand to the Presidency and the APC as Nigerians are expecting them to refund the stolen funds they used to scheme themselves into office in 2015.

Politics › Fayose Asks FG: How Can You Discuss Ceasefire With ‘defeated’ Boko Haram? by engineerboat(op): 8:18am On Mar 27, 2018

Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, is against a ceasefire agreement with Boko Haram insurgents.

On Sunday, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, said the federal government has been in “wider cessation-of-hostility” talks with the insurgents.

He said the ceasefire talks secured the release of the 113 students and pupils kidnapped from Dapchi, Borno state, as well as the police officers’ wives and the University of Maiduguri lecturers also abducted by Boko Haram.

Writing via his Twitter handle on Monday, Fayose wondered why the government would discuss ceasefire with the insurgents, despite claims that the group has been defeated.

Fayose said Mohammed’s statement shows “someone is obviously lying to Nigerians”.

“How can you discuss ceasefire with the same Boko Haram you claimed to have defeated and decimated?” he wrote.

Politics › Electoral Act: 67 Senators Sign To Override Buhari by engineerboat(op): 8:06am On Mar 26, 2018

Electoral Act: 67 senators sign to override BuhariPublished 3 hours ago on March 26, 2018 By Chukwu David

Lawmakers, legal experts parley
Pro-President’s senators’number reduces
APC leaders’ intervention not bearing fruit

No fewer than 67 senators have endorsed the move by the apex legislative chamber to override President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2018, New Telegraph reliably learnt at the weekend. A source in the apex legislative chamber, who spoke to our correspondent, but pleaded not to be mentioned in print, disclosed that 67 senators had already signed a Pro- Senate register seeking to override the veto. The source claimed that the number of signatures in the register had increased from the initial 63 last week to 67, expressing optimism that the number might exceed the twothirds requirement, which is 73 senators.

The breakdown of the senators who have signed to override the President shows: 10 senators from South-West; 15 from South- South; 13 from South-East, 12 from North-Central, 10 from North-East and seven from the North-West. Their identity is being kept as top secret. The source noted that some senators, for fear of victimization, were sitting on the fence, claiming that those in this category were more than 20, whom the source said that the pro- Senate faction was working hard to win to its side in the override task.

This is happening in spite of the intervention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), seeking to stop the National Assembly from going ahead with the plan to use its constitutional powers to defeat Buhari’s veto. It was learnt that the senators and members of the House of Representatives were yet to see concrete evidence of the party to sincerely achieve peace between the National Assembly and the Presidency after the visit of the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led NWC to the legislative chambers.

Buhari had withheld assent to the bill, claiming that its passage would infringe on the constitutional powers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as portray the National Assembly as legislating for the states on local government management, contrary to the 1999 Constitution which empowers the state assemblies to make laws for the state. However, further in quiries by New Telegraph showed that the Legal Department of the National Assembly had faulted all the points raised by President Buhari in vetoing the bill.

Consequently, the Legal Department asked the National Assembly to disregard the constitutional questions raised by the President and carry on with the planned throwing out of his veto if it wishes to do so. Furthermore, our correspondent learnt from a source close to the Senate leadership that based on this legal advice, the National Assembly members had started collating signatures on a possible override of the Buhari’s veto. Since the Senate passed the controversial amendments to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2018 on February 14, the chamber had been divided into two factions namely:

the pro- Buhari Senators who now operate under the umbrella of Presidential Support Group (PSG) and the pro- Senate Group. Reliable sources told New Telegraph that the Pro-Senate wing was currently enjoying the majority so far while hinting that the Pro-Buhari Senators were also unrelenting in their quest to truncate the override plan.It was, however, learnt that as at yesterday, the number of senators in this group was 15, contrary to speculations peddled in the media that they had got up to 49 members. A source told our correspondent that the struggle was full of horse trading and a lot of intrigues, disclosing that the pro-Senate Group had infiltrated the ranks of the pro-Buhari group to give them a false sense of hope.

“This is politics; a lot of intrigues have come into play and that is why you are hearing different claims from the pro-Buhari Group of senators. But I can assure you that when the chips are down, you will see how it will go. The Pro-Buhari group is having a false sense of improvement in their numerical strength, but the senators know where they really belong,” the source said.

Another source stated: “A meeting of the pro- Senate group held in Lagos after the wedding party of the daughter of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, in Lagos at the weekend. The meeting afforded the pro-Senate Senators the opportunity to review the register and it was affirmed that 67 senators have so far signed.”

Meanwhile, one of the sources who attended the pro-Senate Group meeting at the weekend in Lagos during Dangote’s daughter’s wedding, said that at least three Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) joined the Senators at the meeting and that it was adopted that the interpretation of the law is that the two-thirds majority of those present in each chamber would be required and not two-thirds majority of all members of the Senate in the course of voting to override Mr. President’s veto. Another source said: “The plan for the overriding votes may start this week as the Senate leadership is sure they now have “very sufficient” numbers to act and get the desired results.

“Those who think they control South-West senators will have a shocker of their lives. At least 10 Senators from that zone will vote for the amendment; 15 from South-South; 13 from South-East, 12 from North-Central, 10 from North-East and seven from the North-West. “That is the zonal classification of those who have signed so far. We will get more from those who are still sitting on the fence.

The recent position of Gen. T.Y. Danjuma and the Coalition of Northern Groups are helping to win more sympathizers for the Pro-Senate group.” New Telegraph also observed that some senators appeared not to be in the picture of what is happening with regards to the plan to override President Buhari on his veto to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2018. An APC chieftain, from the North-East told our correspondent that nobody had contacted him either for or against the override plot. “All I know is that Senators Abdullahi Adamu, Omo-Agege and others are actually holding their meeting in Adamu’s house, but honestly nobody has called me to a meeting. I also know that they are meeting with some governors in Adamu’s house.

“It may be because I am neutral that nobody has met with me for any discussion. I really don’t want to be physically involved because the matter is very controversial,” the senator told New Telegraph. Also, another senator belonging to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed noninvolvement on the whole saga, depicting that he was either sitting on the fence or playing politics with the contentious matter. He said: “Nobody has met me on that. The bill has gone back to the House; you know it originated from the House, unless there is anything they are doing without my knowledge, but nobody has come to me to talk about overriding or not overriding Mr. President.”

Politics › Police Conflicting Statements On Leah Sharibu’s Release Embarrassing – Fayose R by engineerboat(op): 11:56pm On Mar 25, 2018

Police conflicting statements on Leah Sharibu’s release embarrassing – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the conflicting statements from the Police on the return of the last Dapchi schoolgirl; Leah Sharibu as another clear indication that “under this President Muhammadu Buhari led government, confusion now reigns supreme.”

Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, quoted Governor Fayose as saying in a statement issued on Sunday, that it was embarrassing that the IGP could come on national television to deceive Nigerians by giving information that he was not sure of, adding that; “Nigerians can now see why it is advisable to check their calendar when President Buhari and his men say what the date is.”

The governor said; “If the IGP does not have correct information on activities of the Boko Haram insurgents at his fingertips, it goes to show the level of confusion that has taken over this their government and one can appreciate the position expressed by former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. T. Y. Danjuma that Nigerians should take total responsibility for the security of their own lives and properties because as it is, a government that is confused even at the level of its security agencies cannot protect its citizens.”

He described the recant of the IGP statement by the Nigeria Police Force as highly embarrassing, saying; “What the IGP said was unambiguous. He said on Channels Television loud and clear that he was scheduled to travel to Dapchi but shelved the trip so as not to jeopardize the release of Leah Sharibu.

“So, where is the misunderstanding and misrepresentation of what the IGP said? How can Dapchi residents’ anxious wait for the safe return of the already released girls be the reason for the IGP to say that he learnt the remaining girl will be released on Saturday? He said the IGP categorical statement on Saturday, that Leah Sharibu was going to be released and the recant the following day was a further vindication of the United States government’s that animosity between Nigeria’s security agencies and their unwillingness to share intelligence were hampering effort at effectively combating the Boko Haram insurgency.

Politics › PDP To Lai: APC Has Come To Its Wits End by engineerboat(op): 9:19pm On Mar 25, 2018

PDP To Lai: APC Has Come to Its Wits End

Our attention has been drawn to a press statement by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, wherein he demanded that the certificate of registration issued to the PDP by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should be withdrawn because the PDP lost in an election and according to him, does not know how to function as an opposition party.

We want to alert all Nigerians of a clandestine plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government to strangulate the main opposition party and plot the way for the self-succession plan of their candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Our party has been following all the schemes and shenanigans of the APC as 2019 general elections draw nearer.

The main plank of the plot is to ensure that President Buhari runs as a sole candidate in 2019. To achieve this grand plan, they must work to exterminate all known and perceived political opposition platforms in our country.

Is it not strange that a party who, in its almost five years of existence, cannot constitute a Board of Trustees (BoT) in line with the provisions of its own constitution will be asking INEC to withdraw the certificate of a party whose all organs are intact and effectively functioning?

Is it not also laughable that a party, who cannot hold even a non-elective convention, will be calling for the withdrawal of PDP’s certificate?

It is imperative to tell Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his cohorts in the APC that any masquerade that dances first will eventually have to watch the dance steps of others from the stand.

It is clear now that the APC and its Federal Government have come to their wits end. All they need to do now is to sit by and watch Nigerians collectively return the PDP to powers and by so doing restore the nation to the path of unity, national cohesion and economic prosperity come 2019.

Breaking: Sergeant David Bako deserts N/Army, leaks how Dapchi girls'
abduction waš planned in the Villa & executed with N80 million.

PARIS, MARCH 24, 2018: (DGW) As many Nigerians continue to react to the Dapch girls'
kidnap drama, a certain Nigerian Christian soldier, Sergeant David Bako from the Middle
Belt, Plateau State to be precise has revealed how the Dapchi girls kidnap drama was
plotted and executed.

He said he found it absolutely necessary to make the confession considering the criminal
killings across the country which he likened to ethnic cleansing.

In an email sent to our newsroom here in Paris, Sergeant David Bako said the plot was
planned and rehearsed for two weeks by Buhari's loyalists in the army of which he was
one.

He said the desperation by Buhari to rule Nigeria for another four years drove him on to
employ all means to make sure he remains in power.

President Buhari, he said, will be no pushover in 2019 because he has perfected plans to
remain in the Villa beyond 2019.
Continuing the story, he said, they were given N80 million to execute the plot to restore the
peoples' waning confidence in the Buhari government as Boko Haram stepped up attacks recently which was a complete embarrassment to the Buhari government after claiming to have defeated the Islamist sect.

He said the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks and killings in the northeast drove the
government to find all means possible to regain the peoples' confidence seeing that 2019 election is as good as lost.

Buhari, he said, does not want to leave the Villa under any guise in 2019. In the email
below he narrated how the plot was planned and executed.

He wrote: " I feel constrained to make this confession and as I make this stunning
confession, I am no longer in Nigeria because I have to unavoidably desert the Nigerian
Army to save my life and that of my family from a possible summary execution by Buhari's secret agents.

Barnawi faction of Boko Haram knows nothing about the abduction of Dapchi girls. We were paid N80 million to carry out the abduction which we planned and rehearsed for two weeks to make it look real. 16 of us, strong Buhari's loyalists took part in the plot and were given N80 million and some trucks with which to carry out the operation.

On February 19, 2017, after we had received the money, we were told to make it a top secret and further told we would be handsomely rewarded if the plan pays off.

The plan, according to our unit commander, is to make Nigerians regain their confidence in the Buhari government, demobilize the PDP which we all dislike with a passion and the Obasanjo coalition which the Villa saw as an emerging threat if something is not urgently done.

Obasanjo, our commander told us will succeed in dislodging Buhari from the Villa in 2019 if we do not contrive a means to make Nigerians believe more in Buhari's leadership.
The money we got was not paid into our accounts but was brought by car from Abuja
totaling N80 million naira which was shared amongst us with trucks to carry out the
operation.

On that night the soldiers stationed in the neighbourhood were deployed to other locations to enable us carry out the operation hitch-free which we did. The Boko Haram flag you saw us carrying was designed by us and had ourselves wrapped up like the insurgents.
There was no such thing like kidnapping by the Barnawi faction of the Boko Haram.

We drove into the school compound in a commando style, broke through the school gate while the night guards numbering three or more ran for their dear lives as they heard our gunshots and chanting Islamic war songs amid Western education is a sin'.

We drove straight into the school dormitory and ordered the girls to get onto the trucks some of whom slept naked because of the scorching heat. Although we had been given warning by our commander not to molest or rough handle the girls as such action would not be tolerated under any guise.

We drove them to an undisclosed location which was unknown to any of us because our
unit commander led the way until we arrived in where they all were carefully kept.

The claim that five of them lost their ives is of course not true as we did not kill or even
shoot any of them following the strict orders and instructions that they should be treated
gently, kept safe and unharmed.

While where they were kept we were told to preach to them, make ourselves look like
terrorists to enable them to believe, recount and narrate what they saw which would make
people believe the abduction story.

We were not allowed to go with our phones to the location where the girls were kept,
therefore we could not take photographs of the girls and the location. Was there any
statement released on the abduction by the Barnawi group? Was there any video footage by the Barnawi group like that of the Chibok girls? That was to make it a top secret which the government does not want to play it.
On the day we were asked to return the girls, police and our colleagues were deployed out of the route to avoid any possible confrontation - I mean with those who knew nothing about the plot.

While leaving, we told them to embrace Islam and gave them clothing because some of
them were taken away naked with wrappers they slept with when we abducted them from
the dormitory.

Out of the money that was shared, I got N3 million and on second thoughts I decided to
return the money to my unit commander to keep it for me as I have no ready use for the
money. I told him I would be traveling to Jos to see my mother who was very ill and that on
return I will collect it back from him and take it to my bank.

Unsuspicious of my motives, he collected it from me and gave me five days to report to my duty post.

With the visa I had in my passport I had to go as far as Port Harcourt where no one knows
me and flew out of the country while asking God forgiveness for the partI played in the
whole operation.

What actually made me repent of the evil is the plot on the ground to carry out ethnic
cleansing in Nigeria and as I write this piece, I make bold to say here that every Nigerian
community in the southern part of the country has been infiltrated by armed nilitias
imported from Niger, Mali, and Chad by the Buhari government to unleash terror on
Nigerians if they by a twist of fate resist the ongoing ethnic cleansing.

My colleagues have often boasted that the Quran, according to the late Sardauna, must be read in the sea and that is what this government is doing. The Dapchi girls purported abduction is to make Nigerians believe the Buhari government is working and it would, therefore, make no sense to vote him out.

The remaining four years is to make him execute the hidden agenda to carry out ethnic
cleansing. The plot on the ground is to have every dissenting voice executed that would be a threat to the successful execution of the agenda. That is the reason why they first came up with the cattle colonies which the southern leaders rejected.

As I write this piece, my heart bleeds for Nigeria and I regret the part I played in the
abduction of the Dapchi girls to further swindle Nigerians into believing Buhari is the best person to lead the country in the coming years.

Please Nigerians, I beg for forgiveness and ask you to help me with prayers to God for forgiveness in the role I played. Share this story and let it go round to save Nigerians the grave danger of allowing President Buhari to
continue beyond 2018 in the Villa. I will return to Nigeria when Buhari leaves power, God
willing.

Politics › Nigeria's ERGP Priotises Physical Capital Over Human Capital — Bill Gates by engineerboat(op): 8:17pm On Mar 22, 2018

Nigeria's ERGP priotises physical capital over human capital — Bill Gates

The co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates, says the execution priorities of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, launched by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017, do not reflect Nigerians' needs.
Gates spoke at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja Thursday at the special National Economic Council on Investment in Human Capital, with the theme, "Human Capital Investment in Supporting Pro-poor and Economic Growth Agenda".

He said though the ERGP identifies investing in people as one of its three strategic objectives, its "execution priorities don't fully reflect people's needs, prioritizing physical capital over human capital".

Gates emphasised that investment in infrastructure and competitiveness must involve investments in people.

"To anchor the economy over the long term, Investments in infrastructure and competitiveness must go hand in hand with investments in people. People without roads, poets and factories can't flourish. And roads, ports and factories without skilled workers to build and manage them can't sustain an economy," he said.

Gates said though Nigeria has unmatched economic potential, what becomes of such potential depends on the choices made by Nigerian leaders.

"The most important choice you can make is to maximize your greatest resource, the Nigerian people. Nigeria will thrive when every Nigerian is able to thrive.

He said if the government does not invest in people's health, education and opportunities, there would be a sharp limit to how the country could grow.

On health, he said Nigeria, "is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth, with the fourth worst maternal rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnouriahed.

"I believe the Nigerian primary health care system is not adequately funded. But it also doesn't get the most out of its current funding...More transparency would lead to more accountability which would strengthen governance, leadership and management which would improve quality across the board.

Gates said though Nigeria hasld recorded in polio immunization, the federal government should pursue human capital development with the same vigor in order to achieve the desired results.

He said Nigerian government's revenue "as a percentage of its GDP is by far the lowest in the world, at six percent. "That makes investing in your people difficult".

He said his foundation was working with the Nigerian Governors Forum to help states track internally generated revenue.

Gates said his foundation had committed over $1.6 billion in Nigeria so far and planned to increase its commitment.

He said Nigeria would thrive better with strong investment in health and education, rather than concentratile on physical infrastructure,l to the detriment of human capital development

Gates said though the World Bank's World Development Report showed direct link between the level of education and improvements in employment, productivity and wages, Nigeria's case showed that half of nation's children could not read and write.

The chairman, Dangote Foundation, Aliko Dangote, said Nigeria must prioritize investments in the health and education and alongside other critical areas like infrastructure to be able to compete globally.

Dangote told journalists after the meeting that he told the NEC that there was a need for the private sector to set aside one percent of their profits to support primary health care development and other critical projects in the country.

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai said Gates did not call for a review of the ERGP, but suggested a budgeting system with priorities set out clearly to address human capital development challenges.

"The truth is most Nigerians think that the dividend of democracy amounts to see a road pass by your house, water or electricity. Dangote and Gates reminded all of us today, is that there is something far more Important, than physical infrastructure - roads, electricity, water and that is our investing in the people.
Nigeria is going to be 411 million people by 2050. Today, more than half of our population is very young and unless we try to educate them by ensuring that they are healthy," El-rufai said.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who presided over the session, said Nigeria had strong economic growth and development ambitions, encapsulated in the ERGP.

He said all the lofty ambitions in the plan could only be achieved through the determined application of human skill and effort.

“And for that effort to be meaningful and productive it has to come from people who are healthy, educated, and who are, and feel empowered. It is this realisation that has helped ensure that one of the primary planks of the ERGP is ‘Investing in our people’. And it is for this reason that we are expanding the reach and quality of our healthcare, through the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS); and working to guarantee basic education for all persons, whilst also upgrading and modernising the quality of secondary and post-secondary education.

“And because this is the 21st century, we know that is also important to ensure that our young people are being prepared for the economies of the future, not the past. This means that STEM education is critical, and that technology must lie at the heart of every one of our educational offerings," he said.

Osinbajo observed that high oil prices and economic growth of previous years had failed to translate into a better life for most Nigerians.

He said grand corruption prevented investments in healthcare and education and infrastructure as well as shamelessly robbed government policies of most of their intended impact.

He said the present administration was aware of Nigeria's problems and prepared to tackle the challenges Dangote Foundation as well as Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation outlined.

The vice president described the government's Social Investment Programme as key component of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.

Speaking on behalf of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umah, said they appealed to the National Assembly to amend relevant laws "so that we can access the health funds of about 50-50 contributions required by states to access the funds.

"It’s quite challenging because of other contending issues like security, empowerment of women and youth, infrastructure decay and other developmental strands of the various l governance of the state."

Politics › PDP To Lai: We Will Always Reply Apc’s Lies With Facts by engineerboat(op): 8:06pm On Mar 22, 2018

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government that it will always reply its lies with facts and continue to be firm on the side of the people as always.

The party also told the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed that it does not need his so-called crash course on opposition politics as such will be full of advanced syllabus on lies, falsehood, deception, and propaganda, which are patent trademarks of the APC and its controlled Federal Government.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday, said the Federal Government should rather hide its face in shame, having been busted in its numerous lies in governance, the latest being its complicity in the abduction and return of the Dapchi School girls.

“We hope Lai Mohammed, the APC as well as the Federal Government are following the reactions and comments of Nigerians on this latest ruse and noting how their party and government are being mocked.

“Your APC and government have become frustrated because you can no longer hoodwink Nigerians as you did in the past. The PDP will therefore overlook your intemperate reactions as signs of these times
“However, Lai Mohammed need not be in a hurry to defend his dishonest and dysfunctional government as he would soon have more than enough to chew.

“This administration will at the appropriate time provide answer to allegations that while the nation sorrow, agents of the APC are busy in financial rackets and criminal round tripping of ransoms, in foreign currencies, to service APC interests.

“The minister should be ready to explain, at the appropriate time, those behind the transactions, who got what and under what agreements, as well as the truth behind allegations of clandestine deals with insurgents.

“Our promise to the APC, the Federal Government and of course, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, is that the PDP will never condescend to lies, deception and propaganda as we do not have any need for that.

“The PDP will, as always, remain on the side of the truth as Nigerians, across board, work together on our repositioned platform to rescue our nation from the misrule of this deceptive, dysfunctional and incompetent APC, come 2019,” the statement read.
