Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has said:
the gap between the leaders and the people
always cause the failure in governance in Nigeria.
He added that the only way Nigeria can make
progress is for the leaders to humble themselves
and come to the level of the led.

The governor made the comment in Ado-Ekiti while having an interface with the leadership of the state chapter of the Nigerian Union of
Road Transport Workers .

The governor said many Nigerian leaders fail in office because they get carried away with the
grandeur of office and forget the people they
lead.

"The only way we can make the nation progress
is for the leaders to humble themselves and
come to the level of those being led. When
they do that, they will know what the people
need and be able to meet those needs”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in New Delhi, India, admitted that some of the measures he put in place might hurt some businesses in the short term.
However, the president said these measures
would sustain the economy on the long run.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, quoted the president as saying: “We are aware some of these measures may hurt operations of some
businesses in the short term, but we believe they are right for a sustainable economy.”

The president said despite the fall in oil prices,
his administration remained fully committed to
maintaining macro-economic stability and
improving investors’ confidence in Nigeria.
At an interactive session with chief executives of Indian companies with interests in Nigeria,

Buhari expressed the belief that with its
abundance of human and material resources, the Nigerian economy did not have to suffer unduly from low oil prices, despite its severe impact on government revenues.
“What is required of us to which we are strongly committed, is the implementation of tight expenditure controls, effective fiscal and
monetary policies, including the husbandry of
scarce resources which our introduction of the
Single Treasury Single Account (TSA) has begun to address,” the president said.
Noting that India has been a dependable ally and friend of Nigeria, Buhari urged the chief
executives to expand their companies’
investments in Nigeria “so that we can,
together, turn our engagements into a win-win situation for our two countries.”

He said: “We can increase and diversify the
current volume of our bilateral trade beyond US $16.36 billion, and diversify to other critical sectors such as agriculture; green technologies in power generation; infrastructure; information and communications technologies, the services
sector, education, industry, especially textiles
and solid minerals among others.”

Buhari also urged the Indian CEOs, to accept the changes in policy being introduced by his
administration and observe all extant Nigerian
laws in running their business in the country.
He warned, particularly, that his administration would not tolerate the importation of sub-standard goods, especially foods and medicines, into Nigeria.

Buhari, while addressing the Nigerian community in India, said he was fully aware of the expectations of Nigerians who elected him on the platform of change, integrity, probity and accountability, and was therefore doing his best to meet those expectations.

He said: “I wish to assure you that we shall do our best to fix the economy, create jobs for the teeming population of our youths and make the home environment safe, secure and more attractive to Nigerians outside the country like your good selves.

On the economy, our aim is to address the
challenge of infrastructure in all its ramifications, especially power and transportation. We are seeking to create jobs through agriculture, mining, industrial value-addition and the promotion of small scale enterprises.

“We are also taking steps to address criminality across the country. We are tackling the menace of terrorism posed by Boko Haram head on and I am pleased to note that though sporadic attacks on soft targets have not stopped, the over-all capacity of Boko Haram to hold territory and determine the course of the conflict has been severely degraded.

“If the current positive trends are maintained, we are confident that by the end of this year, we would have succeeded in permanently turning the tide against the Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria.”

The president reaffirmed his administration’s
commitment to curbing corruption, plugging all Loopholes in public sector accounting and
deploying available resources for the good of all Nigerians.

Buhari declared that recovery of stolen funds and prosecution of persons who had been indicted for corrupt practices would also continue to be vigorously pursued.

The president said he expected the ongoing
recoveries and prosecutions to serve as a
deterrent to others who nurse the ambition of
seeking public office solely for illegal personal
gain. He assured the gathering that his administration fully recognised the devastating consequences of the illegal diversion of public resources meant for
national development into private bank
accounts, and was doing all within its powers to stop such diversions.

“The anti-corruption campaign will be on-going for many years. We are committed to the enthronement of good governance that plugs the loopholes in public sector accounting, and the use of scarce resources for public good.

“We are determined to demonstrate exemplary leadership that will make our citizens change their ways in a manner that lays a solid foundation for reconstruction and development.

“I am confident that our approach to fighting
corruption through value re-orientation,
improved internal processes and systems and
the rule of law as well as enhancing the capacity of the various anti-corruption agencies and institutions will prove more enduring in addressing this evil.

“In the meantime, we will continue to prosecute those who have been indicted for corrupt practices and ensure that stolen funds are recovered to serve as deterrence to others who nurse the ambition of seeking public office solely for illegal personal gain,” Buhari stated.

THE Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) will today resume the trial of George Uboh, the accuser of the
commission’s chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde, who alleged that Lamorde siphoned N1 trillion in recovered funds and assets.
The trial is taking place in an ongoing case of
fraud against Uboh at the FCT High Court in
Abuja before Justice S.A Aladetoyinbo.
Uboh is being accused on a three-count charge of selling government vehicles at the time he was an employee of the Police Equipment Foundation in 2007.

Uboh had accused the EFCC leadership of
siphoning some of the funds it recovered from
former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre
Alameiyeseigha, who is now late; and former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun.
He also accused the EFCC chairman of not
declaring some of the assets recovered from
the individuals. Currently, the National Assembly is investigating the matter.
EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, told The
Guardian on telephone that Uboh’s trial, “is an
on-going case”

VICE President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday media reports that he had been named the Coordinating Minister of the Economy as was
practiced in the last administration. He said the
clarification had become necessary so as not to
create the impression in the minds of the
public.
He said, while receiving the new Australian
High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Jonathan
Richards during a courtesy call at the
Presidential Villa noted that the media report to
that effect was not the correct perspective.
A statement from his media office in Abuja
recalled that during the[b] National Economic
Summit[/b] in Abuja four weeks ago, the Vice
President, who was trying to explain the
absence of the President, who was the Special
Guest merely told the audience that the
President delegated him to represent him at
the occasion.

According to the statement, the Vice
President was asked during a Presidential
Dialogue why the President was absent at the
Summit. “In his response, the Vice President
explained that the President wished to be
present, but due to pressing national
engagements he couldn’t attend.. He
apologised and then noted that as Vice
President his role is to supervise the economy.
To clarify the current position if government,
the VP told the envoy, “We are not going to
have a system like where there was a
coordinating minister. No, there would not be
anything like that.’’
He said as Vice President his role is ‘’ to ensure
that everyone that is involved in economic
activities, that there is a way by which the
President is fully apprised of what everyone is
doing such that we are all on same page and to
make it easier for the President to make
decisions.’’
Prof. Osinbajo also expressed the willingness of
the Federal Government to deepen the existing
bilateral relations especially in the area of
economic cooperation with the Government of
Australia, in mining, agriculture, shipping and
transport sectors as well as in the area of
Infrastructure development.
Explaining the reason for Nigeria’s interest in
the deepening of economic cooperation
between the two countries, Prof. Osinbajo said
‘’the Federal Government would be interested
in exploring deeper relationship on economic
cooperation as it is a major area in diversifying
our economy’’.

He lauded Nigeria’s excellent bilateral relations
with Australia and commended the Australian
government for the various capacity building
initiatives in Nigeria and its investments in
some key sectors of the economy.
The High Commissioner of Australia to Nigeria,
Mr. Jonathan Richardson noted that his
country’s bilateral relations with Nigeria had
grown over the years. He disclosed that his
country is seeking to enhance relations with
Nigeria in areas of commercial development
and is ready to offer technical assistance in
some sectors which the country has given
priority to.
He noted that the Buhari Presidency would not
be naming a Coordinating Minister of the
economy; a practice introduced in the last
administration. Prof. Osinbajo made the
explanation while receiving the Australian High
Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Jonathan
Richardson, in his office.

In order to cater for thousands of Internally Displaced Persons. The state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, presented cheques to the governors of the benefitting state governments at the briefing room of the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after the Council of State meeting. At the brief ceremony, the governor said there was no gainsaying the fact that the emergence of Boko Haram and its devastating activities was a single challenge facing the nation. He said although the insurgence “is basically limited to the north-eastern part of Nigeria, the effect is felt everywhere across all the states of the federation.” The governor recalled that at the just-concluded 21st National Economic Summit in Abuja, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation presented what he called a graphic and heart- rending report of the extent of damage and social trauma brought about by insurgency in the region. He added, “Lagos State views insurgency and natural disasters as hardships that leave traumatic experiences. “We commiserate with the three northern states and share the pains and discomfort of our brothers and sisters. “We also commend our President for the renewed commitment of the Federal Government to bringing insurgency to a logical conclusion by the end of the year. “Our security agencies also deserve commendation for their gallantry, courage and resolution to ensure that the directive of Mr. President and indeed the wish of all Nigerians are achieved. “Notwithstanding the hard times resulting from the current economic situation, we have resolved to show leadership and compassion to the plight of our brothers and sisters in north-eastern Nigeria. “It is therefore in demonstration of our commitment towards bringing succour and relief to thousands of the IDPs that we present this donation of N50m each to the governments of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States. “We use this opportunity to call on all Nigerians including corporate organisations and other public-spirited individuals to reach out at this time and alleviate the pains of our compatriots in this part of Nigeria.” Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, who responded on behalf of the two other state governors, thanked Ambode and the people of Lagos State for the gesture. He assured the governor that the funds would be judiciously used for the purpose for which it was donated. He said, “On behalf of the governments of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, we register our profound gratitude for the empathy and support shown by the government and people of Lagos State under the leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in this our hour of need. “I believe that when the history of this event will be written, the name of Lagos will be mentioned in gold for identifying with us and showing empathy to our people in our hour of need. “Every problem comes with its own opportunities for national regeneration and reintegration.”
