Didn't you ask for price before you're served? I do ask for price before buying food.

mrvitalis:
Marginalized with what? Do they tell you they don't meet their quota in NDA?

I'm sure you don't know the difference even

Is the military made up of officers from the NDA alone?

The Buhari administration spent billions of naira on farmers, especially the ones planting rice, there's very little result to show for all the money spent.

CodeTemplar:
Keep shut there freestuffng.

What about bandits levying farmers before harvest?
What happened to those? Your darling daddy gave them the perfect excuse to inflate prices so keep your Tinubu propaganda to yourself.

Even though you're right about bandits levying some farmers before harvest, majority of them are not affected

Shey these guy don forget say most of these prisoners will become the responsibility of the various state governors from 2024? Or is the FG not handing over some of the prisons and prisoners to the state again?

He should spend the #500m on better thing and leave the states to sort out this issue.

Be deceiving yourself , as if it is not the same people living in those shanties that take care of your garden ..why not get approval and build affordable housing.... Who wants to live in shanties in the first place.

Okay, I will get approval and build affordable housing for them.

Babangidapikin:
When he died nobody would remember him .. always pulling down instead of building... Please ask him what has he built since he became Minister , how many lives as he touched positively .. I hear good things about him as River State Governor but as Minister of FCT it is pull down this or destroy that ..abi his media aide dey sleep ni ..

Shanties and illegal motor parks should not be allowed in the FCT.

Strike or industrial action is a fundamental part of employee and employer relationships all over the world. To do otherwise is called suppression and coercion. A good leader negotiates while a bad leader instills fear through threats and in some cases, witchhunts union leaders.

Let them table their grievances before Wike, they should all look at ways they can work things out instead of going on strike. If they go on strike, they won't be paid like ASUU, and heaven won't fall.

chiagozien:
People that hate Biafrans should ask their representatives to help push out Biafrans from Nigeria.

I can't speak for other people, as for me, I don't care about Biafra. If you love it, take step to get it.

But you yourself know you prefer Nigeria to Biafra. You're just so pained a Yoruba Man is your president. Tinubu will rule till 2031 and handover to Shettima or another northerner in the APC.

oluwaseyi0:
They already did, even had their flag and independent nation but seems Nigeria couldn't stomach the pain of seeing them go, why do Nigeria attack the south east and caused a war called civil war which lead to death of hundred of thousands of people who simply want to leave Nigeria

All Nigeria should have done when Biafra declared independence is simply throw a party and turn blind eyes rather they caused war

By the way did their representative ask Lord Luggard for a country called Nigeria

And what's the guarantee that if their representative ask for Biafra again, coward Nigeria soldiers won't start another civil war

Excuse upon excuse. The 2023 presidential election have showed igbos prefer an Igbo man becoming the president rather than having Biafra.

Rice is far cheaper in the north o. Base on the OP price, I wander how rice price is close to 50k in Lagos.

oluwaseyi0:
I will suggest Nigeria let Biafra be an independent country

It's not too much to separate from the people you hate

People who want Biafra should tell their representatives to ask for it

When will the FG handover some of this prison facilities to the states sef? The states sef no go kuku run am well

There's always a low turnout during elections in Nigerian.

Even Fela kuti talked about it in one of his song called Teacher don't teach me nonsense

People don't vote but politicians inflate the figures. The BVAS stopped them from inflating election results in the last election.

Which kin election be dz

Babanla nonsense

People no go vote but dem go dey get big big numbers.

The 2023 presidential election is the best in Nigeria

In 10-25 years time, their people will scream they are marginalize

Table your grievances, all the past strikes didn't make our government organizations function properly. A lot of people who work in public organizations in Nigeria love going on strike and most of them don't even work diligently.

Phantom233:
It's obvious you're still been spoon fed, when you grow up, your eyes go clear. Tinubu is an international criminal with multiple identity. It doesn't matter whether folks like you celebrate him.

Is an insult for you to claim someone else is being spoon fed when you yourself talk like a 12 years old boy. I will never believe an adult with a brain will reason like you're doing.

I can bet my money you're a IPOBdient.

A large-scale rice farmer in northern Nigeria has backed the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria to lift the Forex ban on the importation of rice.

He said the lifting of the Forex ban will break the monopoly of the processing and marketing of the grain by local millers.

Alhaji Hassan Yaro, who grows rice in Kano, Jigawa and Borno states, is the Chairman of the Kano Council of Traders and Entrepreneurs.

The PUNCH reports the Central Bank of Nigeria lifted the foreign exchange restrictions it placed on importers of rice and 42 other items eight years ago.


Alhaji Yaro, who spoke to our correspondent while inspecting one of his rice farms Wednesday at Zabarmari, in the outskirts of Maiduguri, praised the President Bola Tinubu administration for the lifting of the ban, believing that it would flood the market with the grain and slash its price to an affordable rate for the common man.

“I could remember, rice millers reached an agreement in 2014 with the then President Buhari in Africa House, Kano, when he was campaigning for re-election, to process enough of the grain for the country at an affordable price,” he recalled in a chat with The PUNCH, alleging, “They even received a huge amount of money from the CBN to ensure this.”

Yaro stated, “For whatever reason known, perhaps, only to the local millers, the grain, instead of flooding the markets at prices affordable to the ordinary Nigerian, went beyond the reach of most Nigerians in terms of both availability and affordability up to last week when the Forex ban was lifted.”


Alleging that most rice millers do not mean well for the country, he vowed to mobilise as many farmers of the grain as he can across the country to upscale the traditional milling method and pursue wavers for the importation of affordable milling machines from China, should the local millers attempt sabotaging the Tinubu administration on this.

Phantom233:
folks like you who supports criminal elements are the major problems of this country. I hope you've prepared your visa cos what your tribe specializes in is japa after destroying your own country . There will come a time when no one will be borrowing your paymasters free Monies to loot and buy expensive cars for their fellow criminal politicians .

Who did you vote for in the presidential election? I want to know who the messiah you voted for is.

Obi and atiku have being giving the chance to explain to the court how they won the last presidential election, they failed to do so, they were focusing on flimsy things.

All this online rants won't remove tinubu from aso rock.

Is so funny how people that are supporting politicians like Atiku and Obi will be crying people are supporting Tinubu

Phantom233:
Exactly, but the most important thing is that the whole world is watching...I won't be surprised if the juntas eventually take over cos corruption and impunity is uncontrollable in Nigerian Democracy.

So the world eyes have been close all this while we have been holding an election?

The supreme court will give judgement in favor of Tinubu. You and the world that's watching should be ready to do your worst

A former lawmaker who represented Kogi West in the ninth Senate, Adeyemi Smart, has warned the nation’s ministers to perform in their offices else they will be “shown the way out” by President Bola Tinubu.

Adeyemi sounded the warning on Wednesday when he appeared on the Channels Television programme ‘Politics Today.’

The former lawmaker described Tinubu as a man with a “track record of performance,” adding that he (Tinubu) is working to reposition Nigeria to a better state.

Adeyemi said, “What Nigerians should know about President Bola Tinubu today, including those who are ministers, is that from his track record, once you don’t perform in six months, he shows you the way out.



“That’s what he’s going to do. The man (Tinubu) is in a hurry to make a difference. Asiwaju wants to make a name. He wants to reposition Nigeria. He wants to recover lost grounds to the nation.

“He’s telling us that he appreciates we’re going through some pains. He’s coming with a track record of performance. Those who are being nominated or given appointments, I celebrate you but if you don’t perform, this man will show them (the way) out. It’s not a question of leaving them for eight years or four years. Asiwaju doesn’t have that kind of track record.”

The three-time former senator also played down an act that occurred in the upper chamber on Tuesday when the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Mohammed Ndume, left the chamber following a ruling that deemed him out of order.


Ndume had cited order 54 of the standing rules to draw attention to the manner in which the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio, presides over the affairs of the Senate.

Un his reaction, Adeyemi stated, “There is nothing to worry about because a new assembly like this will start on this kind of a note. After some time, everybody will get to understand each other.”

Fifteen Nigerian states have yet to implement the N30,000 minimum wage for their workers since it was signed into law in 2019.

This is as organised labour unions are set to push for a further increase in minimum wage following worsening living conditions in recent times.

According to BudgiT, even though 15 states are yet to implement the minimum wage of N30,000, the 36 states of the federation grew their cumulative personnel cost by 13.44 per cent to N1.75tn in 2022 from N1.54tn in 2021.

Also, these states grew their overhead bills by 23.42 per cent to N1.24tn in 2022.

The Civil Society Organisation disclosed this in its newly released ‘The States of States Report 2023.’ The organisation highlighted that the 36 states of the federation grew their revenue by 28.95 per cent from N5.12tn in 2021 to N6.6tn in 2022.

Commenting on the composition of the revenue, it said, “Put together, the Internally Generated Revenue of the 36 states appreciated by 12.98 per cent from N1.61tn in 2021 to N1.82tn in 2022, denoting a strengthened domestic revenue mobilisation capability. Nonetheless, the IGR to GDP ratio remained very low at 1.01 per cent. The increase in IGR did not reflect across board as 17 states experienced a decline in their IGR from the previous year while 19 states recorded positive growth.


“Occasioned by a 49.2 per cent increase in global oil prices, growth in federal transfers rose by 35.68 per cent from the previous year to N4.05tn, despite a 12.55 per cent drop in crude oil production,”

States’ reliance on the revenue from the Federal Government grew to 61.45 per cent in 2022 from 58.4 per cent in 2021, BudgiT noted. Despite their revenue struggles, the 36 states spent N8.2tn in 2022, more than the N6.58tn they spent in 2021.

Despite the struggles of these states, organised labour recently issued a two-week deadline to governors to commence negotiations on the N35,000 wage award for workers in their states following the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Federal Government, the Nigeria Labour Congress, and the Trade Union Congress.

State chapters of the NLC and TUC handed down these ultimatums on Tuesday and said they had written to the governors. Recently the Federal Government agreed to pay N35,000 to all federal workers for six months beginning from September.

One of the NLC state chapter chairmen who spoke to The PUNCH, The Kano State NLC Chairman, Kabiru Inuwa, said, “We have written to the government requesting for the payment of the wage award to workers in the state and we are still waiting for the government to respond.”

Other states’ chapters of either the NLC or TUC that confirmed they had written to their governors include Gombe, Rivers, Benue, Ogun, Katsina, Niger, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Kebbi, Bayelsa, and Delta.

Power distributors failed to accept an average of 114.53 megawatts-hour/hour of electricity in the second quarter of 2023 despite its low supply across the country, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has said.

NERC disclosed this in its latest 2023 Second Quarter report, as it also revealed that the power distributors installed 178,864 new meters for consumers during the period.

The commission further stated that the complaints of power users rose by about 31 per cent, adding that persistent mechanical fault and gas constraints reduced power generation in the second quarter of this year.

Data from the regulator showed that all the 11 power distribution companies accepted less than their various contracted capacities.

This led to an average cumulative load rejection of 114.53MWh/h amid blackouts in many locations across the country.

It was observed that the combined average energy offtake of the 11 Discos during the three-month period was 3,251.31MWh/h, while their available Partially Contracted Capacity was 3,365.84MWh/h.

Explaining the energy offtake performance, the commission stated that since July 2022 when the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry transitioned to the Partial Activation of Contract regime, the target volume of energy to be off-taken by Disco at any time had been defined as their Partially Contracted Capacity.

It stated that under the PAC regime, Discos had take-or-pay obligations on their PCC, which meant that they must pay for available capacity irrespective of their offtake.

“This structure is consistent with international best practices for long-term contract-based power procurement and ensures that Gencos (generation companies) earn capacity payments to compensate them for availability.

“To curtail this practice, the commission included load offtake as a key metric in its

KPI Order — Order on Performance Monitoring Framework (NERC/316-326/2022), which was issued to Discos effective October 2022.


Set up customers centres, FG tells Discos
“The order provides that persistent load non-offtake to certain thresholds may trigger regulatory actions against the management of the Discos,” the NERC stated.

It added that “in 2023/Q2, the average energy off-take by Discos at their trading points was 3,251.31MWh/h, and it shows a decrease of -218.82MWh/h (-6.31 per cent) when compared to 3,470.13MWh/h off-take in 2023/Q1.

“During the quarter, all the Discos took less than their available PCC except Eko Disco which recorded an offtake performance of 116.90 per cent and will therefore benefit from reduced wholesale energy cost.”

The commission, however, stated that it would utilise its order on performance monitoring framework to enforce appropriate regulatory actions against Discos that fail to meet the KPI targets for offtake ratio.

On metering, the report stated that a total of 178,864 meters were installed in 2023/Q2, representing an increase of 3,583 installations (2.04 per cent) compared to the 175,281 meters installed in 2023/Q1.

“During the quarter, 168,397 meters were installed under the MAP (Meter Asset Provider) framework, while 9,302 meters were installed under the NMMP (National Mass Metering Programme) framework.

“The Vendor and Disco Financed framework recorded 1,143 and 22 meter installations respectively,” it stated.

It stated that as at June 30, 2023, there were 12,561,049 registered electricity customers with 44.16 per cent (5,546,483) of them metered.

The commission stated that Ikeja, Ibadan, Abuja and Enugu Discos had the highest number of meter installations in 2023/Q2, accounting for 72.69 per cent of total installations.

On customers’ complaints, the NERC stated that the total number of complaints received in 2023/Q2 was 325,898 across all Discos, representing an increase of 76,215 (30.52 per cent) compared to the 249,683 complaints received in 2023/Q1.

“Ibadan Disco received the highest number of complaints (55,110 representing 16.91 per cent of total complaints received), while Yola Disco received the least number of complaints (2,662 representing 0.82 per cent of total complaints received),” the regulator stated.

LOVEALAIGBO:
And this post of yours says all that needs to be said about 'one Nigeria' and how some are using it to work against Igbo/south-east interests! So long as a disproportionate amount of investments and federal funds are channelled towards your region while Ndigbo are denied their fair share, all is well with the world abi!?

You failed to call your Igbo brother who made a foolish comment to order, but crying about the Yoruba man reply.

His first tenure will end in may 2027

The Russians are still regretting selling it.
