Politics / Fear As Teenagers Launch Rocket In Imo by Gistboy: 3:40pm On Oct 09, 2013
•Police dispel terrorism fear
Two pupils of the Federal Government College, Okigwe, Imo State have caused a stir in Umuchime Ubahu community in Okigwe Local Government, with the launch of a “rocket” they built from local materials.
The rocket, which was supposed to travel five kilometres, went further than programmed and landed in a residential area, causing a stampede.
The residents of the house where the rocket landed, alerted the police, thinking it was a bomb.
Commissioner of Police Muhammad Musa Katsina, however, dispelled fears of terrorism, saying the “amateur scientists”, who launched the home-made rocket, did not intend any harm.
Katsina, however, urged the residents to remain security-conscious and report suspicious movements to the police.
The police boss, who briefed reporters yesterday, said there was a bomb scare in the community when the two science students launched their rocket.
He said police investigation showed that there was no criminal intent, adding that it was a case of innovation and adventure.
“There was no terrorism motive in the act. We enjoin people to go about their activities without fear,” Katsina said.
He went on: “The manufacturers of this rocket are not terrorists, they are rather talented science pupils keen on developing their scientific skills. They should be encouraged.
“The rocket has been deactivated and is safe. The components as discovered by the Police Bomb Disposal Unit do not contain any radioactive or toxic element.
“Because the boys intended no harm, no punitive measures will be taken. I will rather recommend that they be encouraged so that they can achieve greater things.”
The teenage scientists asked for Federal Government’s sponsorship to enable them improve on their skills.
They said they built the rocket as part of a school exercise, which earned them a second position in a competition.
They said they were inspired to launch the rocket when they heard of the National Space Development Agency’s plan to launch a climate-monitoring satellite into space next year.

Politics / Jumbo Pay: House Accepts Ezekwesili’s Challenge For Debate, Public Hearing by Gistboy: 8:55am On Aug 23, 2013
The House of Representatives has accepted the challenge by a former
Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, to conduct a public hearing on its
alleged scandalous N1 trillion wage bill since 2005.
A spokesperson for the House said in a statement on Thursday that the
National Assembly “wholeheartedly” welcomed Mrs. Ezekwesili’s request
because of its belief in transparency in governance.
A statement by Rep Victor Afam-Ogene, Deputy Chairman, House
Committee on Public Affairs, however said the former minister should
prepare to explain her understanding of cost of governance and provide
reasons for narrowing the concept to the National Assembly, leaving out
the Executive.
The statement reads, “Nigerians would remember that in the course of a
similar misadventure in January 2013, Mrs. Ezekwesili had made wild
claims bordering on the alleged frittering of $45bn of the country’s
external reserves, and $22bn in the excess crude account.
“While she has yet to fully justify those allegations, the former minister
is this time seeking a fresh sparring partner in the Legislature.
“If it were not so, why would an address which centered on a “Cost of
Governance in NIgeria” be curiously limited to an inquest into the
operations of the National Assembly, leaving out the other two arms of
government (the Executive and Judiciary) and arriving at the rather
simplistic suggestion of the introduction of a unicameral or part-time
legislature as the panacea for all Nigeria’s problems?
“Since it is public knowledge that whosoever wishes to go to equity
ought to do so with clean hands, we restate our earlier posers which
Mrs. Ezekwesili conveniently glossed over in her latest statement on this
issue, to wit: What is the percentage of the National Assembly’s N150bn
allocation in a budget of N4.9tr?
“Is it right to insinuate that the budgetary allocation for the National
Assembly is for ‘members salaries and allowances’, while deliberately
leaving out capital projects component, salaries of legislative aides and
the bureaucracy, as well as allied institutions such as the Institute for
Legislative Studies?
“What is the total disbursement to the Executive and the Judicial arms of
government over the same eight-year period?
“For an ex-official of government, who between the 2006 and 2007
federal budgets, superintended over a total of N422.5bn as Education
Minister, what percentage of the public fund was expended by her as
recurrent cost?”
Mrs Ezekwesili , had on Wednesday challenged the federal lawmakers to
a public hearing, where she indicated she would defend her call for the
scrapping of an arm of the National Assembly which, as presently
structured, has gulped over N1 trillion in federal budget since 2005.
Mrs. Ezekwesili’s earlier call on Monday had stirred a fresh debate
about government spending on salaries.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy
Centre that day, Mrs. Ezekwesili said Nigeria’s 469-member National
Assembly, comprising a Senate and a House of Representatives, had
gulped N1 trillion since 2005.
She criticized the lawmakers’ huge wage bill as well as Nigeria’s
budgets that have given more money to recurrent expenditure, and called
for a single arm of the legislature.
As expected, the comments sparked angry reactions from lawmakers on
Tuesday, who asked the minister to also shed light on how much she
spent or drew first as a minister of solid minerals, and later as minister
of education.
Mrs. Ezekwesili was first appointed a minister of solid minerals in 2005,
under former President Olusegun Obasanjo. She was later moved to the
education ministry.
“She was part of several reform committees that ended up being
reformed themselves. In view of this, the best way to go to equity is to
go with clean hands,” a spokesperson for the House of
Representatives, Victor Ogene, said.
“It would, however, suffice for Ezekwesili to tell us what recurrent
expenditure was during her tenure and what it cost Nigerian taxpayers to
maintain her and her aides for a year.”
Mrs. Ezekwesili, also a former World Bank executive, fired back in a
statement on Wednesday, challenging the lawmakers to contest her
figures, and set a day for a public hearing where the issues of their
scandalous pay would be taken up.
“The NASS in its prestige as the most important symbol of our
democracy has a duty to promote at all times the democratic culture of
tolerance for dissension. Would it therefore not have been more
dignifying of our democracy if the spokesmen had used the opportunity
of their reaction to offer their own data to contradict or clarify anything
conveyed in my speech after reading it?” she asked.
The minister then asked for date, and pledged to be available for the
hearing that would discuss lawmakers’ remuneration.
“I wish to state with absolute respect for our lawmakers and our
institution that it will be more valuable and enriching for our democracy
if instead of the abusive language of their recent reaction, the NASS
immediately offered me and the rest of the Nigerian public, the
opportunity of a Public Hearing on their Budgetary Allocation and the
very relevant issue of their remuneration,” she said.
“I shall make myself available to the NASS as soon as it decides to host
a Public Hearing on this and other related issues of the lawmakers’
interest.”
Nigerian lawmakers are rated as the world’s highest paid, with approved
salaries and allowances over N30 million annually. In addition, they also
receive huge quarterly allowance, widely known by Nigerians as “jumbo
pay” but tagged “running cost” by the lawmakers.
But while much of the legislators’ earnings are known to the public and
often come under criticism, lawmakers accuse the executive, comprising
the president and his cabinet of earning far ahead of them and spending
public funds unchecked.
The ministers are also accused of pocketing billions of naira in internally
generated revenues, and refusing to remit them to government coffers.

Politics / Ezekwesili Challenges Federal Legislators To A Public Hearing on Their Pay by Gistboy: 7:16am On Aug 23, 2013
on august 22, 2013 at 12:40 am in news
By EMMA UJAH, Abuja Bureau Chief
Former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, yesterday, gave a
breakdown of how the National Assembly spent about N1 trillion in the
last eight years and challenged the legislators to organise a public
hearing on their pay.
She insisted that she was right in her claims of an unduly high
expenditure by the federal legislature.
The former minister maintained in a statement in Abuja that Nigeria’s
federal law-makers were the highest paid in the world, quoting an
analysis of the Economist magazine in a recent publication.
Contrary to claims by some legislators that they earn N1 million basic
salary, Mrs. Ezekwesili put their basic salary at N30. 6 million annually,
as revealed by the Economist.
She said that she had been threatened by some legislators and also
came under other forms of attacks since she was reported to have
criticised the huge expenditure outlay of the National Assembly and
criticised the law-makers for attacking her personally, rather than
producing their own data to contradict her position.
N10.6trn controversy
She said: “On Monday, August 19, I was the keynote speaker at a Civil
Society Roundtable on “Cost of Governance” hosted by the Civil Society
Legislative Advocacy Centre, CISLAC. My presentation approached the
topic more broadly, by calling attention to the fundamentally
unsustainable economic structure that has caused Nigeria’s development
over the last 53 years to lag behind those of countries with similar
political history with attendant high poverty level of 69 per cent of our
citizens according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
“As part of the aspect of my presentation that touched on management
of public finance, I provided eight years data on budgetary allocations or
transfers to the National Assembly.
“The data in question is available from the Ministry of Finance which
reveals that the allocations to the National Assembly between 2005 and
2013 were approximately N1trillion as follows: 2005 N 54.79billion,
2006 N 54.79billion, 2007 N 66.4billion, 2008
N114.39billion, 2009 N158.92billion, 2010 N 150billion,
2011 N 150billion, 2012 N150billion, 2013 N150billion.
“ I also provided information available in a recent global comparison of
legislators’ remuneration across the world recently published by the
United Kingdom based The Economist magazine. I stated that the report
alleged that Nigerian federal legislators with a basic salary of $189,500
per annum (N30.6m) were the highest paid lawmakers in the world.
“In reaction to various versions of news media report of my speech a
number of members of the House of Representatives and Senators
speaking as spokesmen of the National Assembly (NASS) and perhaps
without the benefit of my full speech, strangely chose to haul verbal
assaults and threats at me. The NASS in its prestige as the most
important symbol of our democracy has a duty to promote at all times
the democratic culture of tolerance for dissension.
“Would it therefore not have been more dignifying of our democracy if
the spokesmen had used the opportunity of their reaction to offer their
own data to contradict or clarify anything conveyed in my speech after
reading it? Is the issue of management of our public finance is the core
of good governance not too important for the personalizing politics of
their reaction?
“I wish to state with absolute respect for our lawmakers and our
institution that it will be more valuable and enriching for our democracy
if instead of the abusive language of their recent reaction, the NASS
immediately offered me and the rest of the Nigerian public, the
opportunity of a Public Hearing on their Budgetary Allocation and the
very relevant issue of their remuneration.
“Doing so would be consistent with Global Practice across countries of
the world where emphasis is on tenets of Open Budget to enable citizens
to track to the disaggregated level all use of public resources across
every Arm and Level of Government. In the United States for example
anyone can find the US House of Representatives Statement of payment
to each member of the House of Representative on the website -http://
disbursements.house.gov/.
“I shall make myself available to the NASS as soon as it decides to host
a Public Hearing on this and other related issues of the lawmakers’
interest”.
