| Politics › Reports Of N47bn To Printn5,000 Untrue – CBN by fatdon2(op): 6:17am On Sep 18, 2012 |
The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has described as untrue reports that N47 billion would be needed to print the proposed N5,000 note. The apex bank said printing a higher denomination would reduce general cost. This was just as indication emerged, weekend, that the January 2013 deadline for the roll-out of cashless Nigeria project might be extended due to challenges such as orientation of Nigerians on the project. Consequently, the implementation of the cashless policy in Lagos might be extended beyond January 2013 as initially planned by the CBN, with a view to allowing it address some challenges. Speaking at a one-day finance seminar organised by the Accounts and Budget branch of the Nigerian Navy, held in Lagos, with the theme Embracing Federal Government Financial Sector Reforms for the Rapid Transformation of the NN, CBN Deputy Governor, Mr. Olatunde Lemo, said that N47 billion was used to print naira notes coins in 2009 and N45 billion in 2010, adding that the cost would reduce with the introduction of the proposed higher denomination. He, however, did not disclose the amount needed for the printing of the proposed N5,000 note, stating that CBN was yet to bargain same. Lemo said: “The introduction of N5,000 note will make us reduce printing cost. We don’t know the actual cost but as I said, we have not engaged printers but we know it is cheaper to print one note of N5,000 than to print five notes of N1,000 and we are going to save a lot of money.”

| Politics › FG To Withdraw National Honour From Holders With Questionable Character. by fatdon2(op): 7:13pm On Sep 17, 2012 |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday directed the national honours committee to compile a list of persons conferred with national honours whose current credibility is questionable. The president gave the directive in Abuja while addressing Nigerians after the investiture on 155 persons who received the 2012 national honours . He said: “I have directed that the National Honours Committee to compile a list of persons conferred with National Honours but that their current credibility is questionable. If they are found wanting, our prestigious Honours will be withdrawn. “This is essential in ensuring that holders of National Honours are truly worthy representations of our national values and honour, and especially are patriotic Nigerians or real friends of Nigeria.” He implored the 2012 recipients of the national honours to sustain the tempo of their performance because they provide hope for the future generation who look up to them as role models. Some of the recipients of this year’s awards include the Chairman of Globalcom, Mike Adenuga, who was conferred with the highest honour of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) as well as Mohammed Zakari of the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, who was honoured for the display of honesty by returning the sum N6 million overpayment made to him. Apart from Misters Adenuga and Zakari, Mr Jonathan decorated eleven others including six Supreme Court judges with Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR), 25 distinguished Nigerians received the award of Commander of the Order of Niger (CON) – the recipient included state governors, senators, ministers and accomplished bankers. However two of the retired jurists – Justice Kayode Eso and Justice Andrews Obaseki – were absent at the investiture ceremony. The president further decorated 24 Nigerians with Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) award-some of the recipients included directors general in the civil service and politicians. 38 others won the honours of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) they include civil servants, other directors and business men, while another group of 38 received the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) -they include public servants, politicians, military personnel and even traditional rulers. The high point of the awards was the inclusion of the 6 Paralympic athletes, who won gold medal in the just concluded London 2012 Olympics, on the award list. They were each conferred with the Member of the Order of Niger (MON) award. President Jonathan told the Olympics gold medallists that the national honours bestowed on them comes with great responsibility calling on them to see it as a privilege and not a right. The name of the Deputy governor of Taraba State, Sani Abubakar Danladi, which was 51 on the list of nominees to be honoured with the award of Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) was skipped. Also absent was Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi but was represented by his wife. www.channelstv.com/home/2012/09/17/fg-to-withdraw-national-honour-from-holders-with-questionable-character/ |

| Politics › Whereabouts Of First Lady Still Unknown. by fatdon2(op): 6:28pm On Sep 17, 2012 |
The levels of anxiety over the health of the first lady Patience Jonathan has risen in the past week. She was reportedly flown to a German specialist hospital two weeks ago for an undisclosed medical treatment and the presidency has been discreet over her condition and whereabouts. When the sudden disappearance of the first lady from the country was initially reported, the presidency released a statement stating that “she went to take a rest” but neither disclosed the location nor duration of her rest. Patience Jonathan’s spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, has insisted that the President's wife travelled out of the country to take a "moment’s rest". It has been speculated that she has undergone a cosmetic surgical procedure.

| Crime › Adamawa Flood: 25 Bodies Recovered From River Benue. by fatdon2(op): 10:00am On Sep 17, 2012 |
Officials of the Nigerian Red Cross has recovered 25 corpses after flood washed through Adamawa state and other states in the north eastern of Nigeria. The Red Cross officials claimed they recovered the corpses from the Benue River in Adamawa state. The Red Cross secretary in Adamawa state, Mr Abubakar Ahmad noted that the corpses may have come from neighbouring Cameroon, as no one in the area could immediately identify the dead bodies. Mr Ahmad added further that there could be more dead bodies after the flooding, as many others are still missing. Officials previously recovered at least 45 bodies from the flooding, which they blamed on officials in Cameroon opening up a dam. Cameroon warned Nigeria before relieving pressure on the overwhelmed dam. Nigeria is experiencing its annual rainy season and flooding which recently claimed the lives of at least 68 people in Plateau state in north central region of the country. www.channelstv.com/home/2012/09/17/adamawa-flood-25-bodies-recovered-from-river-benue/ |

ABUJA —THE Nineteen state governors under the aegis, Northern States Governors Forum, NSGF have concluded arrangements to sue President Goodluck Jonathan over the failure of the Federal Government to allocate funds with which to address the security challenge in the north. Rising from a meeting in Abuja, the governors according to a source have also agreed to settle for compromise with their colleagues from the south on the issue of On/off shore crisis A source at the meeting told Vanguard that the northern governors chose the option of dragging the federal government to court because they are not happy that rather than manage the security challenge in the entire northern zone, the federal government was only concentrating on the nation’s capital city, Abuja. The governors complained that they have been spending their extra budgetary allocation to address the problem of insecurity which was really affecting governance as they were unable to deliver dividends of democracy to their people. The governors, the source said, argued that the extra budgetary wass spent to manage the police through the purchase of vehicles, police equipment and anti_bomb facilities. According to the source, the governors from the north have also chosen the compromise position on onshore /offshore because they were entertaining fears that the southern governors would not support them following the stand of the northern governors on state police where they backed out after the thirty-six state governors under the aegis, Nigeria governors Forum, NGF had agreed have state Police. The northern governors, it will be recalled had called for a revisit of the on-shore and offshore dichotomy, just as they had constituted a technical committee to study the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/security-northern-governors-to-sue-jonathan-fg/ |

| Politics › Fuel Scarcity Hits Lagos. by fatdon2(op): 9:52am On Sep 16, 2012 |
THE fuel scarcity that rocked Abuja and some states across the country in the past few weeks seems to have hit Lagos. In many fuel stations in Lagos State yesterday, long queues of vehicles were seen reportedly over fear that petrol would not be available in the next few days. The imbroglio between marketers and the Federal Government over non-payment of petroleum subsidy to the former had sparked a strike that paralyzed Abuja. The marketers gave the government two weeks to resolve the verification claims on those that collected money without supplying the product. They threatened to embark on a full scale strike if at the end the Federal Government fails to resolve the issue and pay them their outstanding. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/fuel-scarcity-hits-lagos/ |

| Politics › Illegal Bunkering: Anti-vandalism Squad Sets Six Tankers Ablaze In Kogi. by fatdon2(op): 7:37pm On Sep 15, 2012 |
There seems to be some sort of confusion over the security agents responsible for the arrest and prosecution of crude oil vandals. Men of the Army, Police and recently upgraded arms carrying security outfit, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps threw cooperation to the wind when six tankers were discovered in Kogi state laden with suspected illegal crude oil. State commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr. Christopher Oluchukwu, insists that the NSCDC is backed by law to prosecute vandals of any government facility. Three of the trucks were set ablaze yesterday at Ajogu village in Ajaokuta Local Government Area while the other three trucks were set ablaze in Lokoja, the state capital with their contents estimated at 198,000 litres. The contents were suspected to have been siphoned illegally at Adogo in Ajaokuta Local Government and Osara in Okehi Local Government Area. The Commander of the Joint Military Task Force, Lt.-Col. Gabriel Olorunyomi and the State Commandant of NSCDC, Dr Christopher Oluchukwu, supervised the exercise. Mr. Tommy Kaladede, the Maintenance Engineer at the Lokoja Pumping Station of PPMC, witnessed the exercise on behalf of his organisation. Speaking to newsmen after the exercise, Oluchukwu said the trucks were impounded by soldiers on September 9 at a spot in Adogo village which had recently been besieged by vandals. He also said six suspects arrested in connection with the incident had been handed over to his command, saying they would be charged to court. Oluchukwu decried the high rate of vandalism in the state and called for synergy among security agencies to check the menace. He urged residents to help security agencies with useful information about the activities of the vandals. The commandant described the economic loss caused by vandals as huge, adding that their activities were also polluting the environment and making life unbearable for those in rural areas. Kaladede, in his remarks, expressed support for the exercise, saying the same treatment should be meted out to any truck used to siphon oil illegally. www.channelstv.com/home/2012/09/15/illegal-bunkering-anti-vandalism-squad-sets-six-tankers-ablaze-in-kogi/

Minna – Alhaji Aminu Abdulkarim, Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), in charge of Niger command on Saturday said the command had deported nine Nigeriens. He told journalists in Minna that the illegal immigrants were arrested on Sept. 11, in Minna without valid residence permits. “We arrested nine Nigeriens on Sept. 11, 2012; right now they are on their way back to their country. “They constitute nuisance to members of the public because they do not have any source of livelihood.” Abdulkarim said that the immigrants claimed to be water vendors, adding, “they are not; they only use selling of water as a cover up.” The Comptroller said that investigations revealed that they entered the country through Zango-Daura in Katsina state. He said that the exercise of checking illegal immigrants was a continuous one and called on the state government to support the command financially. The command had deported 400 illegal immigrants mainly Nigeriens, and some Ghanaians and Beninoise from the state between January and September, 2012. (NAN) |

| Politics › Poor Masses Beg Cbn Over Proposed Coinage Of N5, N10, N20. by fatdon2(op): 3:27pm On Sep 14, 2012 |
Those considered to be at the lowest rung of the ladder have passionately appealed to the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, not to proceed with his proposed coinage of the existing N5, N10 and N20 notes. An interview conducted by the Nigerian Tribune among market women and artisans revealed that the coinage of the notes would cause inflation, make people to spend more and cause disaffection in some homes. Mrs Felicia Njoku, a trader based in Kuje market said with the coinage of these lowest denominations, prices of goods would rise to the next lowest notes as people were likely to jettison them for the next available notes to make their purchases. To ensure that people’s economy are not affected negatively, Mrs Njoku called on well meaning Nigerians to appeal to the apex bank governor to stop the idea in the interest of the poor masses. Also speaking, Mr Ifeanyi Anslem, a motor mechanic in Abuja said the poor masses were not bothered about the proposed N5,000 notes which he said only the affluent could possess. He said what concerned the poor masses were the N5, N10 and N20 notes which Sanusi had planned to reduce to coins, adding that the move was a surreptitious move by the CBN governor to fight the poor masses as the proposed coins would no longer be useful for any transaction, considering people’s aversion to the use of coins,” he said. tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/47621-poor-masses-beg-cbn-over-proposed-coinage-of-n5-n10-n20 |
