| Politics › Namadi Sambo’s Furniture, House Upgrade Gulp N2.1 Billion In Four Years by ikenna58(op): 8:29pm On Dec 28, 2013 |
Vice President Namadi Sambo is spending a fortune to furnish and upgrade his official residence and guest house, two projects costing N2.1 billion and lingering since his election alongside President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. In three years leading up to 2013, the government has spent a minimum of N300 million annually to furnish and upgrade the vice president’s residence and guest house, according to past and present federal budgets. The biggest spending -N900 million- for the upgrade and furnishing was done in 2011. That year alone, N500 million was channelled into acquiring, upgrading and furnishing the vice president’s guest house at Aguda House, while a separate N400 million was spent on purchasing some more furniture and extending the vice president’s lounge there. In 2012, the government spent additional N437.1 million for the “upgrading and furnishing” of the same guest house, and squandered additional N112 million solely on “household equipment” for Mr. Sambo’s residence. The installation of Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) facilities at the residence, was completed at a whopping N202 million. This year, the vice president’s Aguda guest house and his residence were furnished at a relatively modest N75.7 million, while landscaping at the residence alone was done at N26 million. A new guest house for Mr. Sambo, at Yakubu Gowon crescent, Asokoro, was also given N170.7 million worth of furniture. It could not be immediately confirmed how much of the proposed works have been implemented after spending more than N2 billion, an amount enough to furnish at least 200 primary schools where pupils attend classes under tree shades and sit on bare floors. Such school furnishings are estimated at an average N10 million per school in the federal budgets. Used differently, the amount can provide water in at least 200 Nigerian communities, based on the same budgetary estimates of N10 million community water scheme. Despite the huge funding already, the government has made new allocations for the project for 2014, with the likelihood of even more spending for the vice president’s furniture and upgrading coming in 2015. If the National Assembly approves a new budget proposal submitted by President Jonathan, as it likely would since previous furniture allocations for Mr. Sambo were not blocked, then the government will spend an extra N123 million on Mr. Sambo’s new guest house at Yakubu Gowon crescent. Taxpayers will also buy kitchen utensils worth N8 million for the vice president. The total N2.1 billion for furnishing and upgrading is far ahead of government’s allocation for some key road projects within the same period. The obscene allocations for Mr. Sambo’s home and guest houses follows a trend that has seen the government repeatedly channel more funds for the convenience of public office holders while key projects suffer. While the government claims it was cutting the cost of governance to address dwindling revenues and mounting developmental needs, it has for years continued to direct scarce funds for the luxury of its officials, providing them with exotic cars, homes, and other perks while more than half of Nigerians live on less than a dollar per day. The presidency is one of the biggest beneficiaries of that anomaly. In 2012, the presidency budgeted N1 billion for feeding, and half a billion naira for cars for President Jonathan and Vice President Sambo. The car purchase was suspended after public outrage following media reports. Mr. Sambo’s office has become notorious for some of the administration’s most outlandish spending. The cars the vice president was to receive would have been his second set in two years, having already spent N323 million on cars in 2011. Also in 2012, the Federal Capital Territory Administration raised an already outrageous N7 billion for the construction of a home for the vice president by adding extra N9 billion to make it N16 billion. The National Assembly finally blocked that request. The furnishing and upgrading for the vice president was also listed in 2010, but under relatively modest subheads. The extension of the VP lounge, proposed for N207 million in 2012, was N30 million in 2010.

| Travel › British High Commission Clarifies Online Payment For Visa By Nigerians by ikenna58(op): 4:06pm On Dec 25, 2013 |
Says Nigerians can pay for visa using Naira accounts The British High Commission in Nigeria said on Friday that Nigerians with naira credit or debit cards could pay for visas using their Naira accounts. The Commission, which made the clarification in a statement, said though the visa fee would be denominated in dollars, the payment would be deducted from the applicants’ accounts in naira; and therefore there was no need for anyone to have a dollar account. The statement by the Communication Manager in the Office of Deputy High Commissioner, Wale Adebajo, said, “Earlier this month, the UK introduced compulsory on-line payments for visas and announced that the cost of those visas would be denominated in US dollars. “This is purely an accounting measure, As before, Nigerians with naira credit or debit card can pay for visas using their naira account. “Although the visa fee will be denominated in dollars, the payment will be deducted from their account in naira. There is no need for anyone to have a dollar account.” The Commission had earlier in the month announced a new system of visa application requiring Nigerians who intended travelling to the U.K. to make payment on-line in U.S. dollars. A statement signed by its Press and Public Affairs Officer, Rob Fitzpatrick, said the new system would commence on December 16, 2013. “From December 16, 2013, all applications for UK visa must be completed using our on-line application system and paid for online in US dollars,” the statement said. “Payment can be made using a verve debit card, Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards or the e-wallet PAGA. The move to online application and payment will deliver a streamlined process. It is consistent with wider global trend to online transactions and payments.” It also explained that the new system met the requirements of the U.K. Government’s Digital by Default Initiative. Is this a blessing or more problems for Nigerians? |
| Politics › Jonathan To Spend At Least N1.5 Billion For Another Presidential Jet by ikenna58(op): 3:50pm On Dec 25, 2013 |
There are currently about 10 planes in the presidential fleet. The Presidency is set to increase the number of private jets in the Presidential Air Fleet by purchasing an additional aircraft in 2014. The proposal for the new aircraft has already been included in the proposed 2014 Appropriation Bill submitted to the National Assembly. Details of the budget proposal laid before the two chambers of the National Assembly last week by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan, revealed that N1.5 billion was proposed as deposit for the purchase of the new aircraft. The proposal was included in the budget of the Presidential Air Fleet under the Office of the National Security Adviser, NSA. The presidential fleet also proposed to spend about N747 million to take care of its aircraft fuel cost during the year. Though further details of the planned acquisition were not immediately available as top officials in the presidency who should know were not willing to comment on the issue, it was gathered that new aircraft would be the 11th in the luxurious presidential fleet. Other proposals in the budget include the plan by the presidency to purchase a new embalming machine for the State House, Abuja, for which a budget of N1.65 billion has been made. Another N17.5 million has also been set aside by the presidency for the provision of magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, building and mortuary conversion machine; as well as N1.3 billion for the construction of the VIP wing of the State House Medical Centre, Abuja. In addition, about N17.5 million would go for the construction of hospitals and health centre in the State House, apart from N37million set aside for wildlife conservation purposes in the Presidential Villa. Another N70 million would be spent for the building and installation of oxygen and other gases generating plant at the State House; N50 million for the completion of the extension of dental wing at the State House Medical Centre; N6 million for two sauna baths; N5 million for a wildlife capture equipment, and N14.5 million to purchase two wildlife animals not mentioned in the budget. The upgrade of Villa facilities would gulp about N1.5 billion; upgrade of Villa Telecommunication Exchange and spare parts would take N220 million; and about N215million would be spent on remodeling of the new guest house for the vice President at Yakubu Gowon Crescent, Asokoro. About N50 million has been included in the budget for improvement of electrical installation in the State House Banquet Hall; N15 million for renovation of Horses’ stable/paddock; N8 million for the upgrade and maintenance of Villa Zoo, while N1.8 million would go for six wardrobe/towel shelves for the presidential lodge. As part of the ongoing reform in the power sector, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, which transmits generated electricity, has been allocated about N24.9 billion for its operations in 2014. The Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, successor generation companies also have an allocation of N1.143 billion for the year.

The Beam: Really this thread has been hilarious....1. It is naive to think everyone would share in our beliefs and customs, isn't it? 2. IQ of every individual differs... It is only natural for some to be intelligent than others! Just as OBJ is super-intelligent than a certain president Jonathan! (I am sure critics would be hasty to say something abt this) 3. "but IT'S NOT OK 2 RUB DAT FACT IN THEIR FACES.... ".. You might want to give an instance where I actually did this! Or are you the next self-anointed critic with very itchy fingers? 4. "It's a public forum, so u gotta respect ppl's rights 2 learn at their own paces and be STUPID if they choose to be"... We have 12 fundamental human rights in Nigeria; every Nigerian is entitled to his or her rights whether in a public, private or closed forum! Who hasn't been respecting other people's right? 5. "To all others climbing on d young man"s back, kindly stop making more of an unfortunate situation than what it is..." ... Everyone has the right to free speech and expressions; they don't have to stop, do they? I only filter the sensible, intelligent comments from the foolish ones. 6. "That he was insensitive didn't mean what he said was wrong"... You might want to define insensitivity as used in this context! Aren't u being insensitive for saying I am insensitive in summarizing the fact that regret mails naturally follows the success mails? Whether it was right or wrong, it still doesn't change the fact! (Critics, time to talk) 7. "so it's a bit unfair unloading the fears and frustrations of our failed hopes on him."... Failure is not always the end of hope! Abraham lincoln failed 8 TIMES before he succeeded! I see failure as a tonic, a booster, stepping stones and an opportunity to learn and be fully equipped! To get frustrated, afraid and trying to look for an available "punching bag" after failure is a little bit mundane! 8. "To all the parties who'be hurled insult at one point or the other: GROW UP! "... Kids will always remain as such; maturity takes quite sometime! God be with us all |

| Education › Unilorin Buys 25,000 Ipads For Students - Registrar by ikenna58(op): 8:59pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
The university wants to encourage use of IT in teaching. The Registrar of the University of Ilorin, Emmanuel Obafemi, has said that the institution would, from January 2014, be fully digitalised. Speaking on Sunday in Ilorin, Mr. Obafemi said that the development would make it possible for lecturers to be able to send assignments to their students via the Internet. “As from January 2014, University of Ilorin lecturers would be able to send assignments to their students through the Internet from the comfort of their homes,” he said, adding that students would also be able to respond via the same channel. He said that the school had ordered for 25,000 pieces of mini iPads from the U.S. for the students to enable lecturers to send assignments to them from home. He noted that the iPads were already fully loaded with the students’ courses and each student would get one as they resume in January. Mr. Obafemi confirmed that because the iPad was produced in large quantity, the university had subsidised its price, noting that the whole school was already connected to the Internet. He expressed the readiness of the institution’s administration to make the university one of the best in Nigeria and Africa. Mr. Obafemi noted that the school would continue to encourage programmes and policies that promote global best practices in the education system. The registrar gave an assurance that the institution would sustain the legacy of the past Vice Chancellor, Ishaq Oloyede. “If you come here in another five months, you will see a positively different Unilorin and well managed institution,” Mr. Obafemi said. He commended the management of the institution and expressed delight in the fact that the university had not gone on strike in 13 years.
