YOU ARE FRUSTRATED - APC TELLS GOV. FAYOSE.
NasReports - Godson Ikpontu.

The All Progressive Congress, (APC) in Ekiti has cautioned Governor Ayo Fayose to mind his business and declared that the governor’s meddlesome act was a sign that he had become frustrated and getting jittery.

The party reacted on Wednesday night to claims by Fayose that some of its aspirants planned to monetise Saturday’s gubernatorial primary.
The party described Fayose’s claimed as meddlesomeness, and describing it as figment of his imagination. The State Publicity Secretary of APC, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun , said what the governor had just displayed by raising “false alarm” was a sign that he was afraid of an impending loss of the July gubernatorial election.

”Fayose is frustrated and jittery, let him mind his business. He is not a member of our party so I don’t know where he is picking his information from, APC is not like his own party, the People’s Democratic Party that has stolen our commonwealth and plunged the nation into a state of coma. Yes, we will mobilise our members for the primary but the allegation that we are sharing that kind of money by the governor is laughable, we will do everything that is right and within the constitution to send him out of the Government House, so let him start parking, No amount of blackmail will stop or derail us. The Ekiti people are set for the APC and we will make sure we produce a candidate that is acceptable to the people.” he said.

The governor had raised the alarm over alleged movement of heavy cash into the state by some unnamed aspirants of the APC. The governor said, while addressing newsmen at the Government House, Ado Ekiti that such monies were meant to compromise the delegates.

He hinged his concern on the fact that the governorship election slated for July 14 in the state might also be compromised by the use of cash, going by the alleged desperation of the aspirants who are jostling for the ticket of the APC.

According to him, the way the exercise was being compromised in the build up to ordinary primary, showed that the APC was merely paying lip service to the war against corruption.

The Governor wondered where the money being spent by the affected aspirants were coming from, saying that a particular aspirant allegedly gave each delegate N250,000, and another gave N500,000, with a promise to offer them N1mi each onSaturday, tthe day of the party primary.

He urged the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant agencies to beam their searchlight into the alleged monetization of the electoral processes in the state and guide against a repeat of same scenario when it comes to the gubernatorial election proper.

NIGERIA POLICE TO FORCEFULLY MOVE DINO MELAYE FOR TRIAL, IGNORES MEDICAL REPORTS

WORKERS DAY; GOV. ALMAKURA LAYS EMPHASIS ON CIVIL SERVICE DEVELOPMENT.
NasReports - Godson Ikpontu.

Gov. Tanko Almakura has assured civil servants in Nasarawa state of policies and projects that will improve and promote service delivery in the sector.

He made this statement during a speech he delivered during the may workers day celebration in Lafia, Nasarawa state. He congratulated civil servants for joining their counterparts in celebrating this remarkable day that is geared at promoting the plights of a better working condition for civil servants.

Gov. Almakura went on to recall that since the 4th of May, 1886 in Chicago, United States, the labour movement has continued to engender fruitful Government-Labour relationship aimed at bridging the gap between workers and their employers. This symbiotic relationship, no doubt, enhances productivity, industrial harmony and decent welfare for the workforce. This relationship has become a harbinger for both parties to create opportunities for synergy towards elevating the dignity of labour and creating the desired environment for efficient and effective service delivery.

He stressed on his promises prior to his assumption of office, he says "since our assumption of office about seven years ago, I made a solemn commitment to make the public servants the pivot of this Administration. This is based on my conviction that, without good policy implementation, policy formulation will remain a mere theory and, indeed, a mirage.

However, he stated that, It is on this premise that our first major assignment in office in 2011 was to place the workers of Nasarawa State at per with their counterparts at the Federal level. In this regard, we approved the implementation of the various salary structures of all categories of public servants in the State, including the National Minimum Wage of N18,900 for the mainstream civil servants. This, we did, believing that it is the only way that we will inspire our workers to give in their best in the implementation of policies and programmes of Government.

In the same vein, as a labour-friendly Government, Gov. Almakura revealed that his administration has always consulted the organized labour in a wide range of issues, especially as they concern the welfare of the public servants in the State. This synergy he says has continued to strengthen our relationship and paved ways for roundtable solutions to any labour-related issues. This is notwithstanding industrial actions sometimes embarked upon by Labour which is understandable.

He also stressed on some of the deficiencies that affected the inability of his administration, which he says was as a result of the economic recession witnessed globally in recent times. Government at all levels was faced with the challenge of meeting the competing demands of the people. This greatly affected our obligation to pay workers’ salaries as at when due. However, I am happy to state that we are up to date in the payment of 100% salaries to our workers. I assure you that we would sustain this endeavour until the end of this Administration.

By the same token, he assured that his government will continue to create conducive working environment for workers in the State. In other words, the welfare of workers will always remain topmost in our policy agenda. It is for this reason that we have sustained our vehicle and furniture revolving loans for civil servants to boost their morale. Similarly, Government is considering lifting the embargo
on in-service training to give our public servants the opportunity to undergo training and retraining with a view to upgrading their capacities for improved productivity in tune with the global best practices.

While reacting to his concerns on the housing needs of civil servants, he revealed the completed 500 Housing Units at Doma road which provided accommodation for deserving workers. He also identified the release of the sum of One Hundred and Fifteen Million Naira (N115,000,000.00) to the beneficiaries which enables them to carryout renovation works on the houses.

He says "we are also considering the possibility of allocating other Government structures to civil servants on owner-occupier basis as a means of easing accommodation problems. Government is also facilitating the construction of 100 Housing Units along Kwandere- Keffi road by the Federal Mortgage Bank and has allocated a parcel of land for the construction of the estate for the benefit of our public servants".

The Nasarawa state Governor also assured workers of his determination to provide succour to Senior Citizens, he says "we are consistent in the payment of their pension and gratuity. Just last year, we released the sum of Three Hundred Million (N300,000,000.00) Naira for payment of gratuity to State Government retirees with emphasis on the sick, widows, widowers, the physically challenged, the aged and other disadvantaged groups in the society. In the same spirit, Government has also released the sum of Two Hundred Million (N200,000,000.00) Naira for payment of gratuity to Local Government retirees".

Gov. Almakura captured the medium to sympathize with the hardship faced by Local Government workers. He says that it is, indeed, disheartening to note that our workers at the Local Government level are still bearing the consequences of percentage payment as their take-home salaries. To be honest, this situation is pathetic and worrisome. Concerned by this trend, I have decided to personally engage stakeholders at the Local Government administration to devise ways of putting an end to the percentage salary payment.

He concluded by commending the efforts of civil servants. But till date civil servants in Nasarawa state remains the most unhappy workers in the state.

NasReports - Godson Ikpontu.

The lauded visit of Nigeria President to the united states of America for a one day official meeting may have achieved fruition.

“We also share common features as secular federal states, practicing a similar democratic model of governance and committed to the universal values of fundamental human rights and freedoms, free enterprise, social justice and the rule of law.

“President Trump and his team and myself and the Nigerian team discussed issues related to security, trade, governance, human rights and humanitarian crises.”
He recognised the strong U.S. support in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and also appreciated very much the U.S. agreement to sell 12 Super Tucano A-29 war planes and weapons to Nigeria to effectively fight terrorism.

“​We expressed gratitude for U. S. support in the reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts in the North East of Nigeria, as well as humanitarian assistance to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), through agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other international partners.
“The USA has been to date the biggest contributor to the humanitarian response and last year gave approximately 500 million U.S. Dollars in cash and in-kind contributions through the United Nations and other inter-governmental organisations.

“These have mainly supported protection activities, health, food assistance and shelter. We are doing all we can to secure the release of the remaining abducted school girls from Dapchi and Chibok.
“In this context, we will continue to welcome U.S. collaboration in intelligence gathering, hostage negotiations and information-sharing,” Buhari said.

On violent attacks by herdsmen, Buhari said the government was taking necessary steps to promote the peaceful co-existence of herdsmen and farmers, by focusing on boosting security and enforcing legislation that will guarantee herders and farmers access to land.

We urged greater effort to increase these figures substantially.”
He thanked the U.S. government very much for the cooperation Nigeria had received in its effort to recover stolen funds.

“Our two governments have put the machinery in place for their respective Attorneys-General to collaborate in ensuring the return to Nigeria of over 500 million dollars of looted funds siphoned away in banks around the world.
“In this connection, we congratulated the US government on launching a Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative which was spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering. “We hope that we could continue to count on U.S. support in this area,” he said.

CURRUPTION SAGA;
PRESIDENT BUHARI SHOULD RESIGN - AFENIFERE LEADER.
NasarawaReports - Godson I.N
Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the leader of Afenifere, a pan yoruba association has called on President Buhari to resign or sack the alleged corrupt elements in his cabinet. Stating that, the President has lost the war against corruption.

Unfortunately, the yoruba leader and other prominent Nigerians, including Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, Dr Junaid Muhammed,  Professor Akin Oyebode, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, and Reverend James Pam, on Saturday, passed a vote of no confidence in the ongoing war on corruption by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Citing several instances to buttress their position that the war had been derailed, they noted that the recent case involving Abdulrasheed Maina was a loud confirmation that the war was a hoax.

According to Chief Adebanjo, “corruption is now being perpetrated with impunity under President Buhari, who is known for his anti-corruption stance worldwide, going by various allegations involving the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir, down to the latest one on former pension commission boss, Abdulrasheed Maina".

It is a shame that the tolerance level of the administration on corruption seemed to be increasing much and more than imagined says Professor Akin Oyebode, a lecturer with the university of lagos.

ASUU SET TO RESUME STRIKE; AS FGN REFUSE TO MEET UP AGREEMENT.
NasarawaReports - Godson Ikpontu.
There are cold insinuations that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) might resume the strike which it suspended few weeks ago, as the Federal Government failed to meet up the agreement signed in the MOU it had with the union.

The position is that, FGN promised to deliver on the requirements/demands of the union on or before the 31st of October. Obviously the deadline is just few days from today and the federal government has been unable to show any concern on the agreements contained in the MOU.

On this premise, the members of Academic Staff Union of Universities are set resume the indefinite strike without any form of voting from its national structure. Considerably, the strike was suspended and not called off just to provide a benevolent atmosphere for the federal government to react to its plights.

NasarawaReports - Ikpontu G.N
Fortunately, the kidnapped National Youth Service Corps in Nasarawa State has been release. Blessing Nwapa, the kidnapped Batch A Stream 1 female youth corps member serving in the state was released this morning after spending five nights with the kidnappers.

The NYSC Coordinator in the State, Hajiya Zainab Isah, confirmed the release of the corps member to newsmen in Lafia on Tuesday.

Isah said that Nwapa from Abia State, who was kidnapped on Friday, Oct. 6, in Udege Mbeki community of Kokona Local Government Area was released on Sunday.

“She was kidnapped on Friday on her way from the bank in company with some other corps members.

“They were robbed and after that she was picked up and taken away. She was the only female among them that day,” she said

She explained that the NYSC in collaboration with the State Government, security agencies and the Traditional Ruler of Osu Ojiri, Alhaji Halilu Bala-Usman, effected her release.

“Gov. Tanko Al-Makura played a vital role in securing the release of the corps member through the Osu Ojiri whom he communicated with because it happened in his domain.

The governor directed the Commissioner of Police to ensure that the corps member was unhurt and untouched.

“I want to thank the governor for the fatherly role he played in securing the freedom of the corps member.

“I also thank the Osu Ojiri of Undege Mbeki, all the security agencies and even the vigilance group in the community. I just want to thank everybody for the vital roles they played.

I also thank the Director-General of NYSC, Brig. Gen. Sule Kazaure. He also played an important role. He gave me the moral support,” she said.

The coordinator, however, refuted claims that the youth corps member was raped by her kidnappers.

She said that all necessary medical investigations carried out at Federal Medical Centre in Keffi proved otherwise.

“The corp member was never raped. I have visited the hospital with her and have the result proving that she is medically okay.

“So, I want to dispel that rumour that she was raped. Most importantly, the corp member has used her own mouth to say she was not raped.

“Yes she was beaten but never raped because at the time she was kidnapped, she was bleeding heavily.

“So, when they saw that she was menstruating, they didn’t want her again and started beating her. I can authoritatively tell you she was rescued unhurt,” she said.
