President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday met with the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, where issues of national interest were deliberated upon.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting held at the State House, Abuja, between the president and the two leaders of the National Assembly (NASS) came barely 24 hours after the assembly announced its plan to hold another security summit to tackle the nation’s security challenges.

Speaking to State House correspondents at the end of the closed door meeting, the President of the Senate revealed that the national assembly would collaborate and cooperate with the executive arm of government in addressing the nation’s security and socio-economic challenges.

“What we have discussed are those things that will ensure that the people of Nigeria are better protected, the economy of Nigeria performs better to the inclusion of everyone in the country, that governance generally is set to achieve the set targets of providing security and welfare for Nigerians.

“We are going to collaborate and cooperate with the executive arm of government, work together to ensure we find better approaches, improved paradigm to address appropriately the current situation,’’ he said.
According to him, Nigerians stand to benefit a lot form the existing cordial relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government.

On the expected screening of ministers and other nominees, Lawan said the legislators would collaborate more and ensure speedy confirmation of appointees to enhance good governance.

Gbajabiamila, who also fielded questions from the correspondents, said the crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly would soon be resolved, having received the report of the committee that investigated the matter.

According to him, the House of Representatives will do the needful and possibly invoke the relevant section of the constitution, by taking over the functions of the Edo State House of Assembly, where necessary.

“As you know, we set an ad hoc committee, they went to Edo State, the report was laid and considered today and the context of the report is very clear.

“I think what we did was to stick strictly by the rule or by the law that guides the assembly and us as lawmakers.

“So, one of the recommendations, which I believed was approved by the House, was for us to have a proper proclamation with date, venue and time, which was missing in the first proclamation.

“The Edo House of Assembly have about a week to come up with the proper election of the principal officers.

“If in a week nothing changes, perhaps the House and the National Assembly as a whole would look at invoking section 11 of the constitution,’’ he said.

AFCON: Why Nigeria lost to Algeria – Rohr

uper Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that his team lost to a better side in the semifinals of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt on Sunday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a Riyad Mahrez’s goal from a free-kick at the edge of the box, with seconds left to play, condemned Nigeria to a 2-1 defeat and steered Algeria to their first AFCON Final match in 29 years.

Rohr told journalists during a post-match interview that it was a game of two halves, adding however that Algeria were the better side at the end of the day.
“Until the last minute, Algeria had a better first half than us, but we came back a much better team in the second half.

“Unfortunately, we conceded a goal in the last minute. I think the players wanted to go to extra-time believing that perhaps Algeria will get tired and we could win the match in extra time.

“It was a wonderful game. We lost it, so we are not happy. Congrats to the winners. They were the better team in the first half.

“We scored an own goal. We were unlucky but we came back like we have always done all the time in this tournament.

“When we found ourselves in a difficult situation, we always reacted and we did that also today coming back through a penalty and playing a better second half.

“But a wonderful free-kick from a football genius made the difference.
“In our last game, we won in the last minute against South Africa and today we lost. That’s football,” he said.


Coach Djamel Belmadi of Algeria on his part said his side had a tough game against a tough opponent, adding that it had to take the quality of Mahrez to decide the result of the match.

“We knew that it would be a tough game because of the quality of our opponents and the tough game we had against Cote d’Ivoire on Thursday.
“My boys had an amazing first half. So, we deserved at that time to score a goal and I think we could have scored even more goals.

“Then in the second half, we had a difficult moment for about 15 minutes, we were under pressure.
“I think we played too deep and didn’t apply enough pressure on our opponents due to fatigue on my players and the quality of course of our opponents.
“Then came the penalty which I think my players showed great character and mental strength to come back and fought until the end to score the decisive goal.

“We however had some situations in the second half, maybe not clear cut chances where I think we could have scored another goal with a little more accuracy.
“Then the free-kick arrived and of course with the quality of players like Riyad Mahrez, it’s a massive chance at goal and thank God we made it count,” he said.

Nigeria will now take on 2004 champions Tunisia in the third place match at the Al Salam Stadium on Wednesday, while Algeria take on Senegal in Friday’s final at the Cairo International Stadium. (NAN)

Why do Africans, especially Nigeria keep celebrating average white coaches that can not even secure a first tier coaching job in their own respective countries and ended up to take coaching high coaching job of national team like the super Eagles.

When, you ask Mr. Rohr, he says the team is still developing...when is it ever going to be ready

Actress Funmi Bank-Anthony opened up on her family background and how it rubbed off on her in the decisions she takes, in a new interview.

The granddaughter of late Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, also dispelled claims of riding on the name of her late grandfather to achieve some level of success in the movie industry. She said in the interview with The Sun,

Yes, the name is household but I don’t think it has had any impact on my life and career. I can’t go to any bank and withdraw money with that name. He has done his bit when he was alive. He had his name and I am trying to make mine too. I am not even half way where I want to be, even though it is a name people can easily associate themselves with.

Funmi Bank-Anthony further revealed that her grandfather willed his 48 houses in Lagos to the motherless, as she talked about taking up the philanthropic course;

It started with my grandfather, Sam Mobolaji Bank-Anthony. When he died, he wrote in his will that all his belongings be donated to the less privileged, even including the spoons. He had about 48 houses in Lagos and he declared that all be given to the motherless (children) and that is so huge for me, because I see it that he left us to suffer. If he had left the houses in Lagos for us, I would be a multi-billionaire today, even as a grandchild. He was one of the richest men in Nigeria and he didn’t leave anything for us. That was deep for me. I see it that the things you boast of today can be taken away from you within the twinkling of an eye. It then dawned on me that I could lose the things I have. So, philanthropy came out of the fear of losing the things I have. So, I would rather give it out than lose them when I am gone, though some people take you for granted when they know you are excessively nice.

Well, now is too late to start crying out about inheritance. When the 'GrandDad' was alive were you /mum / siblings close to him? Do you all even showed him that you cared or loved him... !

Perhaps, he decided to give it to those who showed him loved and cared for him during his time alive.

Pity una sha...but lesson learnt here. My people my people!

That's when you're speaking about the illegal thieves. The thieves in government cometh through politics, with their families, in-laws and grandchildren in mind to suck the purse of the state dry, and leave nothing for the next person...

Some end up using the moni stolen from the state to run things within the state untouched because the state can only fight them by borrowing.

Even in Nigeria...we are still racist among ourselves.

What a country.Nigeria is not ripe for democracy.

This is one piece of the recipe for the not ripe democracy...I'm sure it will get better.

All this sharing of FG money make most States governors in Nigeria lazy. They don't even think on how to generate and increase their own State internal revenue. Instead, what we see is abuse of this money to projects that doesn't make sense to their state and needs of their people but rather enriching themselves. They are all parasites waiting for manner to drop from oil and FIRS...

A former Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Wednesday, failed to appear before Justice Folashade Giwa of the Federal High Court Abuja, to explain his role in the alleged approval of N2.5billion to Pinnacle Communications Ltd. The money was for the purpose of the Federal Government Digital Switch Over (DSO) project.

Mohammed was listed by the ICPC prosecution counsel, Henry Emore, as additional witness to give testimony on the approval of payment of N2.5 billion to Pinnacle.

...Mohammed who approved the payment of N2.5billion to Pinnacle and joined him as a defendant in the case....

“Further more, the witness admitted that the N2.5 billion was released under the supervision of the former Information Minister. “To the best of my knowledge, the Presidency that released the N10billion to the NBC for the purpose of DSO has not complained of how the fund was used. “I am not aware if the former Minister had withdrawn his approval.” Meanwhile, Justice Giwa, has adjourned the case until July 1, for ruling on a motion by the 2nd and 3rd defendants seeking the release of their international passports to enable them travel abroad for official functions.

The Federal Government's vision for Nigeria in the next 10 years and more is to transform the economy into an industrialized one with a strong middle class and a place where the majority of the people are living above the poverty line, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this at a Dinner and Interactive Session with some visiting Faculty Members from the Harvard Business School (HBS) led by Prof. Srikant Datar, a Professor of Business Administration, alongside a select group of Nigerian business executives, on Tuesday evening in Lagos.

The Vice President featured alongside Srikant Datar and Mr. Bayo Ogunlesi, a Nigerian Investment banker in the United States of America, in a panel discussion moderated by Mr. Hakeem Belo- Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital Partners and addressed several issues on power, the economy and climate change, amongst others.

According to the Vice President, “I will like to see Nigeria become an industrialized nation in the next 10 years; with a very strong middle class and most people living above poverty line. Our policies and programmes are directed at achieving this objective."

He said the Federal Government had put in place measures that will kick-start the industrialization drive of the country, citing the example of the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and small manufacturing clusters across the country as some of the steps taken by government.

He said "practically everything we are doing is to ensure that there is a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.

"The Federal Government is looking at natural economic clusters. We have done a lot of work in five of them, we are looking at 23 others, and we have already set up shared facilities in designated locations to address some of the concerns in production.

"What we plan for the Special Economic Zones is also unique and geared towards that drive to industrialize our economy."

Speaking on efforts to alleviate poverty, the Vice President said it is being addressed by government.

When asked what keeps him up at night, Prof. Osinbajo said it is the problem of “extreme poverty; the issue is that the largest number of those who vote for us are the very poor.

"The promises that government makes to them is that their lives will be better and obviously they are looking at their lives being better in the shortest possible time."

He explained that a number of government policies and programmes were focused on people at the bottom of the pyramid, especially in agriculture and trade, and getting credit facilities to people in order to enable them improve in whatever they are doing.

He said that many farmers had been lifted out of poverty as a result of some of the initiatives, adding nonetheless that the scale needs to be improved.

According to him, "First, the focus of our government was on agriculture which has the potential to take many out of poverty. We are supporting farmers operating through the out-grower programme and our focus is to attain sufficiency in Rice, Sorghum and Millet production.

"A lot of attention has also been given to the Social Investment Programmes (SIPs) which factored the provision of cheap credit to petty traders—at the bottom of the pyramid. We have given out cheap credits through our TraderMoni and MarketMoni initiatives and this has also proven to be largely successful."

On Power, the Vice President said the government is committed to finding lasting solutions to issues militating against the improvements that ought to have been witnessed in the sector.

"The issues are enormous but what we really need to do is to re-write regulations and encourage more people to invest in the sector.

“In the next few months, we will unveil a plan that deals with most of the critical issues in the power sector,’’ he said.

Addressing concerns raised about climate change, Prof Osinbajo said Nigeria would not act differently as "the momentum, globally, is in favour of renewable energy and recycling".

He cited examples of what the Federal Government in partnership with the private sector have so far done, through the solar power programme in selected markets in Kano, Abia and Lagos States as well as the Federal Government Green Bond Initiative.

On improving trade among countries in Africa, the Vice President said Intra-African trade is important and is "the way to go" but that there is the need to address concerns around dumping and protection of local manufacturers, amongst others before the endorsement of any agreements.

Addressing the issue of brain drain and efforts to curb it, the Vice President expressed optimism that the steps being taken by government to improve the business environment in Nigeria will address the menace.

According to him, “As people see that the environment is getting better for business, they will come back, the opportunities for making huge profits are here."

He also noted that Nigeria was open to business as it has a lot of potential and urged Nigerian investors abroad to look homewards.

“If you are going to do business anywhere in Africa, it has to be Nigeria. This is where you have the energy, you have the drive.

“We are already seeing that kind of activity, business people will always be driven by profit," Prof. Osinbajo added.

On his part, Datar said he was particularly proud of Osinbajo as an academic in governance, stressing that academics do well in governance.

He pledged HBS’s readiness in providing needed support for human capital development in Nigeria and proffering solutions to tackling Nigeria’s infrastructure challenge.

Also speaking at the event, Ogunlesi said that the era of depending on government for infrastructure was gone, adding the Federal Government had no business running infrastructure in Nigeria, especially the airports.

In a vote of thanks, Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, regretted the high poverty rate in Nigeria especially in the North West and called for urgent action to address it, advocating for a committee on girl-child education to be set up to address issues surrounding early marriage and family planning.

The event also attracted Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Stuart Symington, immediate past Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah, immediate past Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma amongst others.

Early this morning(Nigerian Time), the 45th US President, Donald Trump declared his bid to run for the US presidency for a second term.

He captioned his campaign to be "KEEP AMERICA GREAT"

If you watched the campaign, the crowd was too much, but the most amazing thing was the strength of Donald Trump. At 73, he is still agile and bouncing.

He had no MC because he was the MC himself.

He could remember and call people by their names.
.

It was a great moment.




please do the needful.

Good morning people.

Good luck to him and the American people...But come to think of it: he has kept most campaign promises set out in his first term. If ONLY our pear shaped heads political leaders in Nigeria can keep even a fraction of their promises during their campaigns. Things would have getting better slow but steady...INSTEAD what we have is the blame game. They should work the talk. Shikina!

The House of Representatives on Tuesday, passed a bill prohibiting the use of plastic bags by individuals and manufacturing companies in the country.

Igbere TV reports that the bill, which was sponsored by Hon. Edward Pwajok, is aimed at addressing waste management and protecting the environment.

The Plastic bag prohibition bill provides for: “an act to prohibit the use, manufacture and importation of all plastic bags used for commercial and household packaging in order to address harmful impacts to oceans, rivers, lakes, forests, environment as well as human beings and also to relieve pressure on landfills and waste management and for other related matters.”

According to the bill, any person found guilty of the offences above shall be liable upon conviction to a fine not exceeding N500,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both such fine and imprisonment.

It also prescribes a fine of N5 million to companies guilty of the aforementioned offences.

The bill states that a retailer shall offer a paper bag to the customer at a point of sale.

It also added that it was an offence to fail to provide customers with paper bags.

The bill emphasised that manufacturing plastic bags for the purpose of selling, and importing plastic bags whether as a carryout bag or for sale amounts to an offence.

Pure water now loading in paper pack. Just watching this clueless and inconsiderate law makers...

Instead of encouraging local or foreign investors to invest in the production of paper bags...and run the pivot scheme over a period of time. During this time run commercials and involve the public in educating them about using this items. That's the implications to our environment. Instead, they go by fire by force.

This is an ethical and moral issues. It shouldn't be force on the people...but rather encouraged.

Just watching sha! Even the paper bags that will be in circulation, I'm sure will be way down below standard(ie not strong enough to hold a kilo or so without breaking). Who is going to check this? How would the consumers be protected for damages course by this act of inferior bags....for their damaged goods purchased.

maybe you should tell us the design for public schools and private schools.
i think is time we upgrade

I'm not an architect by profession, so I can't take the job that I am not qualified (that's call moral ethic and being professional). Even though I did have the opportunity to deciding it, I do a better job than the one you and I is debating. Something missing in the incompetent people managing that office. But unlike the people you're defending...you should tell them not to give public project to just anyone. That young/old architect that also submitted his/her proposal they tossed it to trash because is not one of them in government or management or refuse to bribe...

Just saying...things should be done the right way. They can even shortlists any of the proposed designs and leave it for the people to make vote on it rather than impose it on them...That's why is called public project not his own private money or investment.

If it was his, I won't comment because his money is choose...and do or design whatever. I don't care.

engrchykae:
should it rather look like a factory?
an academic environment should look better than hotels.
rochas is the champion of education.

This is a public contract not a his own business. It is alright if it is his but unfortunately is not. Yeah, he is a champion of education in his own right but in my opinion he failed already already in this design.

Perhaps the facilities in the hotel education building is good enough to produce elites graduates....

The minister of information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has just finished addressing a press conference that was broadcast live by the NTA, Radio Nigeria and Voice of Nigeria. He said:

1) President Buhari will be sworn in on May 29th.

2) The inauguration will be a low key event.

3) All the foreign dignitaries that would have been invited to attend the inauguration will be invited to attend an event on June 12 (Democracy Day).

4) Both May 29 and June 12 are public holidays.

https://mobile.twitter.com/voiceofnigeria/status/1130436636846825472

Nigeria government with public holidays very soon we will ran out of 365days in normal year for holidays. Instead of being productive.

This is not for the hard working Nigerians...is public holidays mostly meant for those ass politicians and people in government that don't know what they're doing.

If our country's economy keep shutting down each time an holiday is declared, Where are we getting the balance from...? Clueless leadership in this country of ours...

EVILFOREST:
TRULY SPEAKING.
I think say na HOTEL oooooo
ACADEMIC BUILDING like this .....
Hahahahaha

The people that award the contract to the architect are to blame for the decision to choose hotel based design rather than an academic building.

That's what happens when incompetence continues to play a vital role in management...
