That's good. I wish you the best in your endevours. But El Rufai is a crazy person.

The former Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Thursday, advised the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, to halt the payment of running costs to members of the House.

Jibrin claimed that the money was not used for the services of the House but “diverted into private pockets.”

The federal lawmaker from Kano State, who was suspended last week by the House, also called on Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government to shun further invitations by the House to appear for investigative hearings and other activities of the House.

But the House dismissed Jibrin’s call again.

The Chief Whip of the House, Mr. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, said the suspended legislator was speaking “rubbish.”

Jibrin stated, “I am also demanding that the Minister of Finance, the Accountant General of the Federation, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Clerk to the National Assembly, in exercising my right as a citizen of Nigeria, should stop with immediate effect, further payments of running cost allowances to members of the House of Representatives.

“As an insider, I know that most of such monies have been and are diverted into private pockets.

“There is no law in our country that is intended to protect corruption. So, the continuous payment of such money negates the spirit and genuine intention of establishing such laws in the first place.

“I am also calling on Nigerians, companies, ministries, departments and agencies to shun invitations from the House of Representatives until the House allows for a transparent investigation of individual and systemic corruption allegations in collaboration with ongoing external investigations by the police and anti-graft agencies.”

Jibrin alleged that the reason the attempt by the House to probe a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, failed was because a senior member of the House frustrated the investigation.

In keeping with his promise, Jibrin said he had begun to forward the names of members in batches to anti-graft agencies on how they allegedly misused the running costs.

The lawmaker said he was prepared to serve the “harshest punishment” if his allegations were proven to be wrong.

In his reaction, Ado-Doguwa, who argued that Jibrin’s suspension was in order, told The PUNCH that members expected that Jibrin would keep reeling out more allegations, in spite of being on suspension.

He stated, “Let him say whatever rubbish he wants to say.

“I am sure Nigerians are now realising the truth in Jibrin’s stupidity.

“His suspension serves him right. We could not have done anything less.”

Imam Imam, Sokoto: Tambuwal lays foundation for a new school in Gudu, the only LGA without senior secondary school in Nigeria

Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at the weekend laid the foundation for the construction of a new secondary school in Balle, headquarters of Gudu Local Government, with it closing the chapter for the town being the only LGA without a secondary school in Nigeria.


Speaking at the event attended by development partners and religious and traditional rulers from within and outside Sokoto, Tambuwal said the his administration embarked on the project as the area had remained the only one out of the 23 local governments of the state without a Senior Secondary School.

“The school will be a co-educational one, both for boys and girls. We have decided to make it a unity school and will attract students from all parts of Nigeria and neighbouring Niger republic. Students of the school would be taught in both English and French,” Tambuwal said.

According to him, the contractor had since been paid the required thirty per cent as mobilisation fee.

He said the project would be completed in the next four months, while the work commenced about two months ago.

The governor also promised to make funds available for the completion of the project on schedule, and according to specifications.

“Education is key to success both in this world and in the hereafter. The school is aimed at improving enrolment, retention and completion of students across the state. It is also aimed at improving equal access to education for both boys and girls in the state.

“As the adage goes, when you educate a girl, you educate the society but when you educate a boy, you educate only an individual,” he added.

Tambuwal called on the contracting firm to complete the work on schedule, warning that compromise by supervising engineers would not be condoned.

Speaking at the occasion, Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, commended the state government for embarking on the project.


He stressed the need for all children to have equal opportunities to education.

While describing illiteracy as a “disease” which forces people to follow others blindly, Abubakar decried street begging by some children, saying such obnoxious act was unIslamic.
The Sultan urged wealthy individuals to provide scholarship to the children of less privileged.

State Commissioner of Basic and Secondary Education, Dr. Jabbi Kilgori, said the project consists of 12 classrooms, laboratories, library, hostels, staff quarters and clinics, among others.

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday applauded the long history of economic relationship between his country and France on the one hand, and Nigeria and Switzerland on the other.

At separate bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the ongoing 71st United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States of America, the Nigerian leader welcomed more investment and economic partnerships.

“Nigeria is a fertile ground for handsome return on investments.

“Apart from your country’s close relationship with us, you have the same with most of our neighbours.

“We seek more collaboration, particularly in agriculture, mining and security,” President Buhari told Francois Hollande of France.

A spokesman for President Buhari, Femi Adesina, said that the President further briefed his French counterpart on the Presidential Committee on the North East, which he described as a one-stop mechanism on development partnership for a zone that had been ravaged in the over six years of insurgency by Boko Haram insurgents, and which needed urgent rebuilding.

Responding, President Hollande pledged that France would not only fully engage with Nigeria on different fronts, but would also provide humanitarian assistance in the North East.

“We will invest in Nigeria, we believe in her,” the French President said.
At another meeting with President Johann Schneider-Ammann of Switzerland, President Buhari sought his counterpart’s cooperation on speedy repatriation of Nigeria’s money stashed in that country, stressing that Nigeria needed such resources, particularly for infrastructure.

With the two countries having agreed on projects to which the returned funds would be deployed, President Schneider-Ammann promised quick action, as soon as the draft agreement was signed.

He also pledged consolidation of mutual trade relationships, infrastructural development as well as support in training and equipping of the Nigerian military.
