| Politics / Nigeria Pays N400.1m As Aso Rock Rent To Mysterious Landlord by LatestTori4Town: 1:20pm On Nov 27, 2020 |
 Aso Rock Rent is being paid to a mysterious landlord The 2021 State House budget, as in previous years, has earmarked N66.6 million as payment for ‘residential rent’, a provision that many Nigerians have described as ‘suspicious’ with questions on if, indeed, Aso Rock is on rent. By 2021, total money paid as rent for Aso Rock residential quarters will exceed N400 million as questions remain on who the mystery landlord is. In 2016, following an outcry on the same item in the budget, former Head of State, and also the first occupant of Aso Rock, Ibrahim Babangida, lent his voice to criticism of the residential rent provision, asking the Nigerian government to explain who exactly are the landlords. “I built Aso Rock and I wonder who the current Landlord is. I read a certain N22M for the payment of Aso Rock rent. Rent to who, Me or GEJ?” Babangida asked in 2016. Aso Rock Presidential Villa was constructed in October 13, 1989, by Ibrahim Babaginda, following a 1976 proclamation by the Military Government of Murtala Mohammed for a more central state capital. Although the controversy precedes President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the item has over the years continued to not only be a permanent feature of the statehouse budget but has increased in the last five years. In 2015, N22.4 million was budgeted as a rent payment for state house, by 2016, it increased to N27.73m. Despite the outcry that trailed the previous year and economic uncertainty, the 2017 provision saw a massive increase by over 123% to N77.54m. 2018, 2019 and 2020 budgets also provided 66.6 million as rent for payment. Structures in the Statehouse also called the Villa, include Office and Residence of the President, Offices of the Vice President and Wife of the President, the State House Conference Center, State House Annexe and the Akinola Aguda House. President Buhari, when assuming office in 2015, had promised Nigerians he would cut waste from government spending while its funds would be directed to public good. “The residential payment could be for those working in the statehouse, living around the villa,” Atiku Samuel a Research Lead at BudgIT explained when asked on the provision.

| Politics / Port Harcourt Flyovers Will Be Ready By October - Wike by LatestTori4Town: 7:03pm On Jul 03, 2020 |
 Rivers state governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says the three flyover bridges under construction in Port Harcourt the state capital will be completed one month ahead of the initial deadline of February 2021. The new development is coming after Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, the Construction firm handling the projects assured of delivering the Rebisi flyover (Garrision Junction) by October 2020. Speaking to journalists after inspecting the bridges, Governor Wike said his administration is mindful of every promise made to Rivers people. Such promises have included delivering critical infrastructure that will improve the economic status of the state and the life of the people.  "If you look at the Rebisi Flyover at Garrison junction, you'll see that they are working hard to finish with the concrete superstructure by October so that motorists can ply the bridge. That's what I've always said when you give work to good contractors, you will be comfortable that those jobs will be delivered. "From what I have seen, ahead of their schedule of the work, it is important to know that Julius Berger is committed to making sure they handover the projects even before the time scheduled," he said.  Commenting on the Rumuola flyover that is billed for expansion, Governor Wike said the chaotic traffic situation experienced there will be addressed with the planned expansion. "Rumuola flyover was built under the military government. When there is maintenance work to do or a vehicle breaks down, it causes a lot of traffic jams, so the need to expand the flyover became necessary. "The contract papers have been signed and I believe they are preparing to go to the site within the next few days. "Generally, we are happy to achieve such feat within the shortest possible time and with the quality job done. We want the people to be confident that we will not take their mandate for granted and they will not regret reelecting us," he added... Read FULL story on Tori4Town |

 Rivers state governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has stated that contractors who fail to abide by the contractual agreement in handling projects in the state will be sanctioned. Governor Wike said it is unacceptable for contractors, particularly those who have received full payment before the COVID-19 pandemic to use it as an excuse not to deliver their projects on time or compromise set standards.

My integrity matters." The governor in expressing his anger also ordered his legal team to write to ThisDay Newspaper over a publication made against him on Tuesday, 23rd June 2020.

"Nobody will rubbish me by raising false accusations against me. I will fight back."

Werner has agreed on a deal in principle to join Chelsea in a deal worth £54 million with wages of £180,000 a week. But according to The Athletic, the RB Leipzig striker is unable to fly to England to put the finishing touches on the transfer. Chelsea’s doctors are unable to fly to Germany because they would have to isolate for two weeks upon their return.

Travelers who fail to fill in the forms with the details and refuse to self-isolate will be fined.

| Politics / Ohanaeze Supports IPOB, Says Blackmail By Nigerian Government Is Backfiring by LatestTori4Town: 1:05pm On Jun 10, 2020 |
 Following a statement issued on Sunday by the Federal Government that the Indigenous People of Biafra is allegedly waging war against Nigeria, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, standing in defence of IPOB, has described the government’s worry as a complete case of chasing shadows. Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Uche Achi-Okpaga in an interview with Vanguard says the Presidency was drawing attention to an allegation of persecution of Christians in Nigeria but failed to draw attention to the seemingly intractable insecurity in the country. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Speaks In Defense Of IPOB Achi-Okpaga said, “Would they (FG) also say that there is no insecurity in the country? All over the country, people are posting on the spot audio and video records of senseless and targeted killings. “I think now that the ovation of the Presidency’s actions and body language have become loudest, attracting condemnations from highly pedestalled and well-meaning Nigerians, including the latest letter from Col. Abubakar Umar, the next available response, as is usual in their colour, is to heap some blame on a given quarter as the IPOB and deliberately divert attention from the issue.” Ohanaeze Ndigbo says it was unfortunate that whereas the President swore to protect the lives and property of Nigerians, Nigerians are "killed in their homes, their farms, on the roads, by herdsmen, while travelling, by bandits or Boko Haram terrorists, as the case may be."

 The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that candidates in the just-concluded 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their jamb result notification slips. The results which had earlier been made available through text to candidates on request by them but are now requesting a printed version can now be printed free from the Board website: www.jamb.gov.ng. How To Print JAMB Result Notification Slip All a candidate needs to do after visiting the site is to click on QUICK LINKS, then on "EFacility" where the candidate would be required to provide his/her registration details, and the result notification slip would be displayed for printing. The printing of the jamb result notification slip is free as it is different from the original result slips that comes with the candidate's picture. Candidates can print their result notification slip anywhere in the country even from the comfort of their homes once there is internet access. The Board has, until now, restricted the printing of result notification slips and had made it available to candidates only through SMS to avoid anxiety on the part of candidates as well as prevent clustering at cybercafes with the attendant risk of COVID-19 contagion all in a bid to print result notifications. This new development, however, is predicated on the gradual easing of the lockdown and resumption of economic activities in most parts of the country. The Board wishes to advise candidates to be wary of fraudulent elements masquerading as JAMB agents stating that it has not mandated any person or group to do the printing on behalf of the Board.

Minister of Education with all Heads of Tertiary Institutions in attendance.

Compliance with this directive has become imperative as no fewer than 4000 Heads of Tertiary Institutions comprising degree, diploma, NCE and NID-awarding institutions and other stakeholders would normally be expected to congregate at a location but because of extant protocols, would nown be expected to participate in the virtual meeting. Modalities For Participants In 2020 Jamb Policy Meeting The modalities for the meeting would entail the Board issuing only one access code to each participating institution to join the meeting. This access code is not to be shared or given to unauthorized persons. However, other critical stakeholders within the institutions like the Registrars, Admissions Officers can cluster around a big screen in a location to attend the meeting using the unique access code. The Honourable Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, would preside over the meeting with other stakeholders and top functionaries of the Education Ministry joining in from the operational base.

| Business / Rivers State Gov. Opens Ogbunabali Fruit Market, Woos Investors Into Agriculture by LatestTori4Town: 3:03pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
 Rivers State Executive Council has approved the concession of existing agricultural facilities in the state to investors who are interested in bringing their expertise to bear in harnessing the potentials in the sector. At its meeting held on Thursday, June 4, 2020 that held at Government House Port Harcourt, which was presided over by the state governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the council said the decision is predicated on the fact that the state is been driven to become the agricultural hub in the south-south region. Addressing journalists after the meeting, Rivers State Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Fred Kpakol said such investors will be expected to indicate interest in any of the agricultural facilities existing in the state. He said there are fish farms and multi-crop school-to- land farms in the 23 local government areas of the state including the Songhai Farms that are now available for investors who want to key into the agricultural programme of the government to achieve food security and generate employment for Rivers people. The commissioner also said the name of the cassava plant at Afam, Oyigbo local government area of the state has changed to Rivers Cassava Processing Company limited.
