President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja reaffirmed his commitment to the rescue of the Chibok Girls, saying that their safe return will be one of his greatest fulfilment in office as President. He said while the rescue and safe return of the remaining Chibok girls remains a top priority of his administration, he will not fall for the antics of fraudsters who have been asking the Federal Government for money to negotiate the release the girls. Receiving the Primate and Archbishops of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) at the State House, President Buhari said that his administration will continue to insist on a thorough authentication of the identities of any persons or groups claiming to have custody of the girls before entering into negotiations with them. President Buhari in a statement by his special adviser media, Femi Adesina also assured the clerics that the Federal Government will give maximum attention to the clean-up of Ogoniland which was launched yesterday. ‘‘We inherited the United Nations Environmental Project report from the previous administration. We decided it needed urgent attention, in spite of the economic crunch because of our concern for the welfare and environmental comfort of the people of Ogoniland,’’ he said. Earlier in his remarks, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev Nicholas Okoh pledged the support of the church in helping the Federal Government achieve its objectives of improving security and the welfare of Nigerians. |

Say unto others what u wish others to say unto u. Buhari reaping the seed he sowed not too long ago. |
Hundreds of residents in parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were on Wednesday night sacked from their homes by a downpour. Severely hit were Agbebukola and Abidogun markets in Ido Local Government Area. Others are communities around Odo-Ona, Oke-Ayo, Omi-Adio, NIHORT, Apata and Gbekuba areas of the city. Aside destroying property and goods worth several millions of naira, some bridges linking local communities were also overrun by the flood, rendering many residents stranded. The bridge linking NIHORT with Gbekuba and Idi-Ishin was submerged, creating traffic snarls for motorists and breaking the link to offices and homes of many residents. It was learnt that the rain started at about 7.15pm and subsided at 11.10pm. Community leaders were seen yesterday morning at Lade area of Omi Adio, making distress calls to Nigerian Railway Corporation officials to halt movement of trains to the area to avert accident. A private school with boarding facilities situated at Gbekuba area was flooded and many students were trapped in their hostels. Sources said some of those rescued in the flood last Wednesday night are receiving medical attention in an undisclosed hospital. University College Hospital (UCH) spokesman Mr. Deji Bobade said the hospital has been placed on alert. The popular Omi Adio market as well as offices and shops in the area were flooded. About 200 shops were estimated to have been destroyed by the flood despite the water channels and drainages constructed by local authorities to control flood. Crop farmlands and fish ponds were not spared, as farmers lost huge investments to the flood. Though the number of homes flooded could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, but a source said that no fewer than 100 houses were affected at Lade and Gbekuba areas. Market women looked amazed yesterday morning as water level rose, covering their shops where goods worth several millions of naira were destroyed. A spokesman for the Babalola community, Comrade Tajudeen Oladepo, told reporters that parts of the market affected by the flood include a fuel station, a rail line at Bako area, markets, houses, shops and a magistrate’s court by the side of the market. Oladepo, who said he was inside the market till around 12am Thursday morning, added that he made calls across to traders to inform them of the incident. According to him, most of the traders – mostly foodstuff sellers – lost almost all their wares to the flood. “As you can see, some of them (wet foodstuffs) have been displayed in the sun for drying. The disaster is painful. In fact, some of them who could not withstand the loss collapsed and were resuscitated this morning. He appealed to the government to come to the aid of the traders. He also called for a rebuilding of the market to prevent a recurrence. Chairman of Rebuild Forum Alabede Emiola said the flood was caused by blockage of River Omi flowing channel. Emiola called on both the federal and state governments to dredge the river, adding that the crisis has become an annual occurrence Chairman, Ido Local Government Wahab Oladejo expressed surprise at the flood, saying the council just finished dredging rivers in the area. He described the flood as a disaster. He said: “This is beyond anybody’s imagination. It is a national disaster. Recently, Governor Abiola Ajimobi directed that all rivers in the local government that are in critical condition should be dredged and this we did last week. So, this incident is amazing.” Residents of other areas affected wailed while seeking government’s assistance in finding lasting solution to the perennial flood in the city. Recounting her ordeals, a resident at Gbekuba, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Adeogun, said her family had to run out of the house at about 2am, when their rooms were overtaken by flood. Another victim, Pa Sulaiman Akande, who lost bags of cocoa seed to the flood, described the downpour as a setback to the community. He said despite communal effort to prevent the incident, the flood still came and wreck havocs. “We are appealing to the government to act fast now to save the residents from disaster. We don’t know what to expect in the month of August. We believe that state government can prevent this tragedy by constructing modern drainages and dredging the Omi River. We have other rivers within the city. People throw refuse inside them and blocked the waterway; this is quite unfortunate. Let the government improve on the refuse management to avert this problem,” he said.

Abuja – Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh says 11 states have provided 55,000 hectares to establish ranches to curb farmers and pastoralists clashes in their states. Ogbeh made this known at a news conference on Thursday in Abuja. Ogbeh said the states are Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Gombe, Katsina, Taraba, Niger, Adamawa, Jigawa, Sokoto and the FCT. He said of all the enterprise in the livestock sector, only the poultry industry had achieved an appreciable level of commercialisation. Ogbeh said other industries in the livestock sector were predominantly in the hands of subsistence farmers with pastoralist system of production contributing over 90 per cent of cattle production in the country. He said the 2011 National Agricultural Sample Survey indicated that Nigeria was endowed with an estimated 19.5 million cattle, 72.5 million goats, 41.3 million sheep, 7.1 million pigs and 28,000 camels. Accordingly, the minister said the country had 145 million chickens, 11. 6 million ducks, 1.2 million turkeys and 974, 499 donkeys. Ogbeh said this impressive statistics which had made Nigeria number one in livestock in Africa had not met the national demand of animal protein or contributed to the GDP over the years. He decried the low milk production in Nigeria as a cow produced one litre of milk a day while a cow in Saudi Arabia or Brazil produced 30 to 40 litres. “Saudi Arabia produces 4.7 million litres of milk daily while Nigeria imports about 1.3 billion dollar worth of milk annually to make up deficit. “The way forward in improving our livestock and dairy industry is to intensify efforts on adding value to the industry along the respective livestock value chains. “In line with our goal of attaining self sufficiency in animal protein, this administration has set out to establish ranches to be planted with high quality improved tropical grass and legume species. “We shall provide irrigation for all year commercial fodder production to enhance settlement of pastoralist and ensure cattle, sheep and goat improvement through an expanded breeding programme through artificial insemination. “We shall group dairy farmers in clusters, build their capacity and equip them with milk collection facilities and facilitate single digit loan for them,’’ he said. The minister said there was a new disease outbreak affecting maize production in some parts of Edo and in the South West of the country. He gave the name of the disease as “army worm’’, adding that relevant research institutes were working on it and the ministry was monitoring the level of threat it posed. Ogbeh urged farmers not to panic, adding that the ministry would take further action if the disease is not controlled within a short time. |

Adaure4ever:Once you hear someone clamour for one nigeria is either he's a zombie or a parasite. |
All thanks to buhari tactics, How long do some tribes think they will continue to surpress the very region that is feeding them. We produced a president they make sure he went through hell during his tenure in office. now want to continue to surpress us. There is a limit to what a man can take. |
You need to stop smoking weed. |
Gej considered himself president of the whole nigeria. Pmb is harbouring hatred against some tribes, and he keep blaming other for his short coming. |
They all always denounce in the beginning. Things are graduaLly falling apart, even in apc they no longer trust bubu. |
