The NYSC callup number on his certificate reads NYSC/KD/ABU/99/113459. Anyone that has gone through the NYSC program will definitely know that the "99" in the callup number indicates the year of mobilisation. However, the Vice Chancellor of ABU claimed he graduated in the year 2000. How come he was mobilized before graduation? ABU is definitely not telling us something.

An ongoing probe , ordered by the Minister of Finance, Mrs . Kemi Adeosun , has uncovered a massive fraud in the Federal Government Youth Enterprise With Innovation In Nigeria programme .
A reliable source in the ministry of finance told The PUNCH that investigators had already discovered that some senior civil servants gave out or facilitated slots worth between N7 m and N10 m each to their spouses, children and friends .
Some of these awardees , the source said , would not have qualified for the grants if they were not aided by their “ connections” within and outside the ministry .
An original initiative of the ministry which began during the former President Goodluck Jonathan ’ s administration , YouWin was conceived to help youth entrepreneurs grow existing businesses and create employment .
The source , who insisted that the probe had not been concluded by the investigators , added that their initial findings were so worrisome that the minister had decided that the entire programme should be restructured .
“ The fraud uncovered in the programme made the minister to restructure the programme and turn its focus into enterprise education , ” the source added .
The source did not , however , state whether any of the country’ s anti -graft agencies had joined the investigators whom our correspondent was made to understand were ministry of finance officials.
At different times , the YouWin project had been dogged by allegations of nepotism and underhand dealings by top civil servants for years .
The source in the finance ministry stated , “ Actually , allegations were persistent that there was racketeering . Some of the applicants, especially those who lost out , claimed that some of the winners simply copied and pasted the plans of other applicants in order to win .
“ Some of them also said they were asked by some civil servants to use specific consultants in order to be considered .
“ Contrary to the rules of the game , awards were also given to some entrepreneurs that were operating outside Nigeria . In fact , some of these people simply took the cash and migrated to foreign countries . ”
The source added that the investigators found out that the ministry under Jonathan awarded a “ disproportionate” number of awards to people from a particular part of the country.
The source said , “ Some of the members of the team used it to set up friends and family as awardees . In one case , a husband and his wife used the same address and pocketed N 10 m each . In another instance , a son of one of the directors in the ministry was given N10 m .
“ When the ( current ) administration got into power , one of the first things that the ministry did was to ask for the BVN of awardees . It was an attempt to find out if some of the awardees got more than a single slot and whether senior civil servants awarded slots to their family members . ”
It was learnt that the BVN verification, which exposed the fraud in the programme and initiated the probe , might lead to the indictment of some senior civil servants .
Some of the documents sighted by The PUNCH showed the rot in the system .
One of the documents indicated that a former director in the ministry of finance might have awarded a slot to his son .
Investigators are said to be probing whether the son ’ s company met all the requirements .
Another document sighted showed that two awardees shared the same surname and the same address .
One of the documents also indicated that two grants were given to a couple running two different companies .
The husband ’ s company is said to be involved in building and construction projects while the wife’ s business , stated on the form , is ‘ food and catering ’ services.
Sources in the ministry explained that the ongoing probe would see investigators thoroughly combing through the information supplied by the 1 , 491 awardees .
It was learnt that the investigators would check for alleged duplication of business places , duplication of BVNs, criminal entries and other culpabilities of some civil servants and whether the companies awarded grants existed .
Last year, some YOUWIN awardees had protested against the Muhammadu Buhari administration , alleging neglect .
After the protest , a Director of Information at the Ministry of Information and Culture, Na ’ inna Dambatta , said a total of 18 , 000 young entrepreneurs were trained in management and business skills under the YouWin programme.
Dambatta added that 3 , 900 of the trainees , including 1 , 200 women , got non - repayable grants ranging from N1 m to N10 m.
“ The third edition of the programme , which is still running with 1 , 500 beneficiaries, has received the sum of N11 . 2 bn in funding. So far , grants totalling N 7 . 4 bn have been disbursed to the awardees , ” he had said .
Efforts to get the reaction of the Special Adviser on Media to the Minister of Finance , Mr . Festus Akanbi , failed to yield result on Monday .
Akanbi requested 10 minutes to get appropriate reaction when The PUNCH reached out to him for comments but did not get back to our correspondent as of the time of filing this report .

Naija sef. Which one is "unparliamentary comment" again? Where freedom of speech waka go?

A Benin based pastor who gave his name as Abel Eku has been arrested for attempting to bomb the headquarters of his church, the Christ Chosen Church of God.

Pastor Abel who claimed to have served the church for 25 years planted explosives inside the auditorium of the church headquarters on January 22, the day the church was to hold an international conference.

The explosives were detected and policemen were invited who detonated the explosives.

Men of the Edo State Police Command arrested Pastor Abel on March 7 and he confessed to have manufactured the explosives and planted them himself.

Speaking to newsmen during a parade at police headquarters, Pastor Abel said he planted the bomb because he was bitter about his dismissal from the church over marital issues.

Pastor Abel said he did it out of annoyance but later regretted his action which made him to call the church officials about the location of the bomb.

He said the bomb was not meant to kill but to scare his church members and elders.

According to him, “It was out of annoyance that I planted the bomb. I was dismissed from the church after serving for 25 years. After planting the bomb, I was not happy with myself. I had a change of heart and called the people about it. It was to scare people. I have to call people to check and diffuse it.

“I am 57 years old. I had marital issues with my wife. We came to the church to resolve it and it was not resolved. It led to my dismissal. I was very bitter about the dismissal. I don’t have the intention of killing people. My action is very bad.”

On how he was made a pastor in the church, Pastor Abel said his parents offered him to the church as a first fruit because of inability to have children.

“I was given to the church as a first issue. My parents were married for many years without any issue, so they vowed at the alter that any first child God gave to them would be given to the church. That was how they gave me to the church.”

This might be a true allegation or a false allegation. However, one thing that keeps surprising me is that politicians and public figures that had threatened Sowore with lawsuits just suddenly quiet. Politicians sef
