Memories tho! I applied for job in BAT twice, in 2014 and 2015, got to the 3rd stage both times, but my village people no gree make I great. Lol, I later gave up and online business came through for me and I found solace in it! Look at me today, I make $3000 dollars per month from Fiverr. The money I would have never tasted if doing a 9-5 job. Abeg, no room for paid employment in this country

CHANCEMAN:
Nothing is missing,differentiate between the NASS and the senate president.The vendor has stated his case,now we await that of the customs to throw more light on this issue.

LivingHuman:
The car dealer, Mr. Lanre Shittu who was also at the hearing said no vehicle was sold to Bukola Saraki.

According to him, "We facilitated the sales of the Vehicle to the National Assembly. We never sold any vehicle to Bukola Saraki

Pls are certificates not required to run a master's degree. And is 3rd class satisfactory enough?

Angelb4:
How then did he do his Masters without cert?

Goke7:
This is why it took ABU so long to confirm if dino was a graduate or not, even if he does not have the certificate at hand, by now his certificate ought to have been ready if he truly graduated in 2000.

My take: na govt magic de work, dino never graduated but don't expect a Nigerian UNI VC to come out to the open to say that a whole distinguished senator did not graduate. He is a Public official appointed by the FG and also liable to the senate in one way or the other.

We build personalities and not institutions in Nigeria so this is what we get

Fkforyou:
I'm surprised that no one has suspected Tinubu to be behind Dino's recent predicament.

And what happened to those arraigned before?

The Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption has advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to remove the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Mr . Ibrahim Magu, whose confirmation was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday.

The committee further stated that Magu could continue in acting capacity indefinitely .

It was learnt that the committee had resolved to communicate its resolution to the President in writing .

The Chairman of the PACAC , Prof . Itse Sagay (SAN ), told The PUNCH that the resolution was unanimous and that members were of the view that removing Magu would negatively affect the war against corruption .

He said, “ I had a telephone conference with all members of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption and we unanimously agreed that Magu is the best candidate in this country for that position and that he should continue acting indefinitely until he is confirmed and there should be no change whatsoever; otherwise, there will be a major setback in the fight against corruption .

“ We observed that those who do not want him are those who are opposed to the fight against corruption . So, we are 100 per cent behind him .”

Meanwhile, the Presidency, on Thursday, said it would not respond to the rejection of the nomination of Magu until it received a formal communication from the Senate on the development.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity , Mr . Femi Adesina , stated this on his Twitter handle .

“ The Presidency will respond to the non- clearance of Magu as EFCC boss after it receives official communication in writing from the Senate, ” Adesina wrote.

The Senate had, on Wednesday, rejected Magu’s nomination for the second time.
Also, a rights advocacy group , Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project , described as illogical, the manner in which the Senate rejected Magu as the substantive EFCC chairman .

In a statement on Thursday by its Executive Director , Adetokunbo Mumuni, the organisation described as a slap on Nigerians the rejection of Magu by the Senate “ on the pretext of conflicting and inconsistent reports on him (Magu) by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari . ”

SERAP posited that the Senate and the President had failed their legitimate governmental purpose of working together to promote and enhance the independence, integrity and effectiveness of the country ’ s main anti -corruption agency , the EFCC .

It argued that what the Senate should have done was to have “ critically engaged with the two reports by the Department of State Services and provided Magu with meaningful opportunity to be heard, ” before rejecting him .

“ The entire process for the submission of Magu ’s name for confirmation by the Senate, and the purported confirmation hearing by the Senate is utterly unsatisfactory ,” SERAP declared .

The organisation argued that while it conceded that it was within the right of the Senate to accept or reject the nomination of anyone , such a right must be exercised “ constitutionally , reasonably, logically and rationally. ”

“ He (President ) should then take rational and reasonable measures to re -nominate him for confirmation .

“ We also urge the Senate to carry out its duty to confirm Magu in line with constitutional and international requirements and without any political or ulterior considerations whatsoever,” SERAP demanded .

The statement read in part , “ But by providing conflicting and inconsistent reports to the Senate on Magu’s confirmation , the government of President Buhari has not taken a logical , fair , and reasonable constitutional and international measure to promote, advance, establish and maintain an independent and effective EFCC .

“ And the Senate, on its own part , would seem to have acted mala fide by picking and choosing the least favourable DSS report to reject Magu’ s nomination .

“ The proper and reasonable action the Senate should have taken in the circumstances of this case would have been to invite the leadership of the DSS to appear before it to explain the manifest contradictions and inconsistencies in its reports . ”

Theft Of Paris Club Refund: Saraki Claimed He Borrowed N5b From Dangote To Fund Buhari's Election



Saharareporters has obtained further details about the monumental scandal around billions of naira in Paris Club loan refunds that were brazenly stolen by state governors, Senate President Bukola Saraki, and Nigerian businessman Hassan Dambaba, who also holds the traditional title of Magaji Ngari Sokoto. Mr. Dambaba apparently embezzled as much as N2.5 billion from the Paris/London Club refunds.

Yesterday, Mr. Dambaba surrendered himself for interrogation by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He was accompanied by a director of the Department of State Services (DSS). A source said Mr. Dambaba was acting as a front for Governor Abdulraziz Yariof Zamfara State who is also the chairman of the Governors' Forum.

Speaking anonymously with Saharareporters, an EFCC investigator disclosed that the slush fund, which was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari before he traveled to London on a prolonged medical vacation, came from a payment made by one of the state-owned oil companies at NNPC.

The funds were then used to repay states that claimed the Federal Government had over-deducted Paris Club repayments from their monthly allocations over the years.

However, instead of using the money for paying workers salaries, some top shots of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) decided to convert it into slush fund that would be used ostensibly to refund some of the party's original funders.

Apart from state governors who individually pocketed as much as N400m in some cases, Senate President Bukola Saraki grabbed for himself at least N3.5 billion. One investigator told our correspondent that the senator converted his haul into dollars and may have laundered the funds through Dubai and Germany.

A senior EFCC agent disclosed that anti-corruption officials were on the verge of arresting Mr. Saraki and his accomplice, a former MD of his late father’s bank, Robert Mbonu. The source said EFCC operatives paused when they were told to wait until President Buhari returns from his vacation on February 6. The President has yet to return.

SaharaReporters learned that Mr. Saraki also colluded with the Governors' Forum to send N5 billion out of the funds to multi-billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote. Our source said where the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, had assisted the Governors' Forum to have access to the funds.

An EFCC agent said Mr. Dangote refunded the money as soon as he spotted the deposit, claiming that he never requested from anyone to deposit funds in his account.
However, a source who initially alerted us to the scandal said that Mr. Dangote only rejected the money because of the formal nature of the transaction. He said Mr. Dangote was alarmed when he was told that the deposit was supposed to be a refund for his funding of the election of President Buhari.

Mr. Dangote reportedly declared that, since he did not transfer funds to the APC via a bank transfer, it would be questionable if he got money through a bank transfer that was declared a refund.
When our reporter contacted Mr. Dangote, he denied that the transaction took place.

The Federal Government has concluded arrangements to launch its first-ever savings bonds into the domestic bond market next month, providing the retail investing public opportunity to invest in sovereign bond issue for as low as N5,000.
Market sources and parties to the savings bonds, to be known as Federal Government of Nigeria Savings Bond (FGNSCB), said the issuance of the savings bond could start next month as the government and its professional parties have concluded the pre-offer process for the bond.
The savings bond will bear all the regular features of a national bond, including the zero default rate of a sovereign issuance, fixed coupon or interest rate, privileges and exemptions from certain taxes and levies, as outlined by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) and other government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).
The Debt Management Office (DMO), which oversees issuance of Federal Government bonds, will be issuing the savings bonds on behalf of national government.
A copy of the issuance documents obtained at the weekend by The Nation indicated that the FGNSB is deliberately targeted at the lower income earners as part of government’s plan to encourage savings and also earn more income from their savings compared with savings accounts with banks.
The bonds will be issued with a tenor (period) of between two to three years and a minimum size (amount that can be purchased) of investment of N5,000 and maximum of N50 million.
The interest rate, which will be fixed, will be paid quarterly, enhancing the attraction of the savings bond as grassroots instrument for the general public.
The attractions of the savings bonds, according to the issuance documents, included guaranteed returns, competitive fixed interest rate, tax exemption for the interest incomes and collateral for loans.
The retail savings bonds will, in addition, encourage financial inclusion among low income households and enable the public to enjoy those benefits which accrue to high net-worth investors in the capital market.
With the collateralisation of the bond certificate, subscribers can use the bond certificate as guarantee and collaterals where such are required in transactions with the MDAs, financial institutions and private organisations.
Investors will also be able to purchase the savings bond in small units through physical offices and several online platforms. After the closure of the primary issue for the savings bond, retail investors will be able to buy and sell the bonds through the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
Already, DMO has reached a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the stockbroking community on the marketing and distribution of the savings bond.
The savings bonds will be traded like quoted equities and other securities on the NSE with stockbrokers expected to make two-way quotes for the FGNSB in order to provide secondary market liquidity for the savings bond.
The stockbrokers will act as agents to the DMO for the marketing and distribution of the FGN Savings Bond to retail investors, including selling the FGN Savings Bond to existing clients using their retail investor base and attracting new ones in order to deepen the retail market for FGN securities.
