President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N37 billion for the renovation of the National Assembly complex.
The amount, which is included in the 2020 budget, is however not part of the N128 billion allocated for the National Assembly for next year.
The money is instead part of the 2020 budget of the Federal Capital Development Administration, the Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, told journalists in Abuja on Monday.
Mr Lawan said there has been no major renovation of the National Assembly building for 20 years and many parts of the property had become dilapidated.
“We met the president and (it was) related the condition of the complex,” he said.
“The president responded and said he was going to renovate the complex. The phase one renovation will commence – the chambers and committee rooms in the white house.
“N37 billion was sourced and was given. It was put under the FCT, not national Assembly. All we required is to have the complex renovated.

“When we are through with phase 1, we will go to phase 2. It is not under the control of the National Assembly. The complex is a national asset and is for the FCDA to take care,” he said.
In recent weeks, lawmakers have called for urgent renovation of the chambers where they hold plenary meetings.
A number of times, during plenary, senators have complained about malfunctioning microphones in the chamber.
This renovation comes at a time when Nigerians have accused members of the National Assembly of inflating the figures of the 2020 budget before passage.
The National Assembly increased the budget 2020 from N10.33 trillion as proposed by the executive to N10.6 trillion.

The Nigerian Army says the recent video clip allegedly released by Boko Haram terrorists portraying capture and killing of some Nigerian soldiers was the fabrication of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Sagir Musa, in a statement on Wednesday said that the video was not an occurrence that took place in Nigeria.
He urged the public and personnel of Nigerian army, especially those in the North East theatre of operation, to disregard the video.
According to him, it is a video concocted to cause disunity and fragmentation of Nigeria.
“Accordingly, the call by one Simon Ekpa, (the principal actor in the clip), calling on soldiers of South East extraction presently serving in the North East to desert the Army and return to Biafra proved it.
“Also, the call on South Easterners not to join the Nigerian Army is an obvious indication of the essence and objective of the masterminds of this fake video which should be discountenanced by the public.
“Meanwhile the leadership of the Nigerian Army wish to also reiterate its unflinching commitment to sustain the war against terrorism.
“It shall not be deterred by the evil machinations or propagandist activities of mischievous persons whose main interest is the disunity of our beloved nation,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that a video purportedly released by the terrorists portraying the stage showing the capture and killing of some Nigerian soldiers by the terrorists group went viral on social media on Tuesday.

There are some news you just read and it changes your mood immediately.

What does the idiotic Judge think he just said?

Ah!! Ahn!!

When umunne gi were telling you in 2014/2015 not to support that man you ignored us. They brainwashed you...

A coalition of civil society organisations in Nigeria has issued a 14-day ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to release Omoyele Sowore and other illegal detainees in SSS custody or brace for nationwide protests.
Mr Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, was initially released by the SSS on Thursday after prolonged refusal by the State Security Service to obey a court order for his freedom.
On Friday, the SSS invaded a courtroom in Abuja and rearrested the activist. Mr Sowore called for protests to demand good governance. The government accuses him of treason, money laundering and insulting Mr Buhari.
The coalition demanding his release includes Centre for Democracy & Development (CDD), Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Concerned Nigerians, Enough Is Enough Nigeria(EiE) three others.
Amnesty International said it was in support of the call for the immediate release of all unlawfully-held detainees.
At a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the groups also faulted the invasion of the court by the SSS.
In a joint statement read by Yemi Adamolekun of EiE, the groups presented five demands to the government.
They asked Mr Buhari to speak to the media and show his commitment to the rule of law; and to release of all illegal detainees in DSS custody, including the unconditional release of Mr Sowore.
They also demanded that the administration obey all pending court orders, and investigate the officers who invaded a federal court on Friday.
“Tomorrow, December 10, the world will celebrate Human Rights Day. It will also be marked in Nigeria as we review the crackdown of the freedom of the press, proposed bills to curb dissent, and a general environment of shrinking civic space of which the recent actions of our security agents is just an example,” the statement said.
“We represent a cross-section of the Nigerian Civil Society actors that have played various roles in the journey of Nigeria to civilian rule.
“Two key issues that are of concerns to us, namely: number one, attack on our judiciary and number two, attack on free speech and pattern of silencing the press,” Ms Yemi read.
The executive director of CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani, said the government acted with the same impunity its party condemned in the past.
“Just in 2015, when DSS went to invade APC data centre, they were crying. Lai Mohammed was shouting, saying this is the worst that has ever happened in Nigeria history. But today they all kept quiet, in fact, justifying this group violent violation of fundamental human rights in Nigeria,” he said.

Mr Rafsanjani said judged by the recent development, the Buhari administration was worse than past military regimes.
He called on all Nigerians to join the activists in “checkmating” bad governance rather than treat the matter with indifference.
“We want the whole world to know that what we are experiencing is military dictatorship because during the military regime, as fascist as they were, they were not going against the precedence of the court carrying out illegal and irresponsible attacks,” he said.
An activist, Deji Adeyanju, said the government must meet the demands to stop the protests.
“Whether we like it or not, mass action is inevitable if the government refuses to comply with our demands. The reason it is important to all Nigerian to own this trouble is that everyone is an activist; whether you are a journalist, market woman, social media,” Mr Adeyanju told pressmen.
Seven-day ultimatum
In Lagos, civil society organisations urged the government to act within seven days or face mass protests.
An activist, Ayo Ademiluyi, who addressed journalists, said they were shocked but not surprised that the Buhari-led Presidency backs the barbaric invasion of the courts by the SSS.
“We condemn the position of the Presidency that the agency had acted within its constitutional powers and did not need to seek Buhari’s approval to act on security matters,” he said.
Towolawi Jamiu, a representative of the Take It Back Movement, said the government has until December 17 to release Mr Sowore and other “political prisoners” or face nationwide protests.

LET WHAT BEFELL ORJI UZOR KALU SERVE AS A LESSON TO OTHERS

......and as I warned them many years ago, serve the Zoo come back in shame.

I warned him when he came to see me in Kuje Prison that those illiterate unity begging Alimajiris from the desert don't love him but he wouldn't listen.

I warned him that Fulani caliphate will not rest until they conquer, subdue and enslave the entire East and West because of their sense of inferiority complex, but he wouldn't listen.

I warned him of the pathological hatred these Alimajiris have towards Biafrans (Igbos especially) because our industry and ingenuity expose their mediocrity, but he wasn't having it. He was a committed One Nigeria apologist.
I reminded him of what happened to Ken Saro Wiwa who like him believed so much in One Nigeria and ended up being killed by the same Alimajiri he served so dilligently against Biafra, but he wouldn't listen.

Today they are picking them off one after the other because they know IPOB won't fight for any Efulefu. If he had known what was to become of him, he would have done exactly what I told him during our meeting, join the nearest IPOB family and support the Biafra restoration project. Isn't it ironic the only thing that will save Orji Uzor Kalu now is the coming of Biafra. Will Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano, Rochas Okorocha learn from this?

A pipeline explosion has occurred occurred in a Lagos community.
The explosion occurred near Gloryland Estate, Isheri Olofin, Egbe-Idimu Local Council Development Area of Lagos.
A video shared by residents of the area showed many residents running for safety after the explosion and the fire.
The fire is said to have affected Diamond Estate along Isheri/Lasu-Igando Road.
The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained but residents suspect pipeline vandalism as the cause.
The casualty from the fire could also not be ascertained yet.
Emergency and rescue officials have since been deployed to the area.
Efforts to reach the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) have been unsuccessful so far.

There is no smoke without fire !!!! the Nigeria police may have their other side of telling lies but Was the police van burnt with 2 police men? If so who burnt it? Was there any other report of violent in that state on that same day? If no who burnt it? On the second side police can limit their invitation expiring time even to 5 minutes it depend on how urgent the case may be bcs the lawyer has something to do with proclaimed criminal group Ipob . Ipob guys can attack the Nigeria police in the process of arresting their lawyer which we all know Ipob and Nigeria police are day and night enemies.why did it take a lawyer too much time to response to an invitation from police he would have avoided the embarrassment by sending response by written even if he was not around . now he was declared wanted since then yet we had not get any info of him reporting to the police invitation till now and you want us to believe this your write up of disassociating the group from the issues on ground ?

The lawyer was not around when they came, so why would people attack the police?

helinues:
I never reached any conclusions about the story cos this is one side of the story..

haven't you heard the police's version?

The police report doesn't make any sense. It is only logical that family and friends would want to resist arrest of their friend IF the suspect is around. But in this case, barrister Ejiofor was not at home when the police came

helinues:
In Phil Collins voice : One side of the story

The police said they got a complain by 11:30am, the invited the suspect and stormed his house by 12pm. All this happened within 30mins. Ore, is this how invitations are made? Sò tóótó?
