I am quite surprised and appalled that you are a mod, although that position doesn't guarantee one would posses common sense though.

So truncating due process by use of the Armed Forces in cunny and silly ways for personal gain instead of national unity and progress is what you call "in charge"?

What village does your type crawl out from?

espn:
Now it'd obvious GEJ is using d ARMY to intimidate and rig election. U can't provide security for election but over 1000 security forces escorted the president to bayelsa. Smh

Your opinion is flawed. How can you reason that a succeeding deputy is serving out the tenure of his predecessor? Joint tenure means their term is inseparable. So, if the deputy served one day that's his first term - after all s/he is not compelled to be sworn-in. Gentleman, get it straight, law does not always coincide with common sense.

mu2sa2:
The swearing-in is not the issue. The court held that governor/deputy governor have joint tenure and that explains why the deputy was sworn in otherwise another election would have to hold.

People saying Gej only completed yaradua's tenure should note that the constitution does not contemplate anyone being sworn-in three times into the office of governor or president.

Supposing yaradua died the day he was sworn-in and Gej took the oath of office the next day, thereby serving 4 years less 0ne day, would you in good conscience still maintain that Gej only served out the remainder of yaradua's tenure?

mu2sa2:
This post is a wrong interpretation of the law. It's settled since the case of Boni Haruna in Adamawa state where the court held that in the present dispensation the governor and deputy have a joint tenure. And this ruling paved the way for Haruna to be sworn-in without the need for another election when Atiku abandoned Adamawa governorship he had won to become the vice-president. By this judgment, even if the governor had been sworn into office his deputy would be serving his first tenure when he assumes office as governor. The samething applies mutatis mutandi to the office of the president/vice-president. So constitutionally Gej is currently in his second term.

omogidi234:
I like your argument sir. But let the court decide whether President Jonathan was elected with Yardua or ONLY Yardua was elected.

I think you should listen to eletric lady by janelle monae. You'll like it.

Obinoscopy:
Section 137, 1(b) states that one cannot contest for a presidential election if he had contested and won two previous presidential elections.

Now if the person wins, section 135 subsection 2 spells out 4 years as his tenure

However that 4 years should be interpreted correctly.

The four years starts counting after the winner of the election takes the oath of office. Even if he dies and his vice takes over, the time is still counting (135, 2b). Now because the vice didn't contest an election for president, that time isn't counting for him but for the former president (who was elected) even though he's dead.

Ishilove is this not a sweetnews?

The Federal Government has earmarked N1.3 trillion as intervention grant to public universities on the platform of National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) Assessment Programme.

The Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, said this in an interactive dinner in Abuja on Saturday, noting that the grant is for five years.

He said that the NEEDS Assessment intervention was a fall-out of several deliberations between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

“We have persistent complaints from for our universities about dilapidated laboratories and so on; then the government took the bull by the horn.

“President Goodluck Jonathan set up a committee to go round the universities on the platform of NEEDS Assessment which was conducted two years ago.

“At the end of the assessment, the universities came up with a bill of N1.3 trillion required to address the necessary need in public universities and government accepted it.

“Since the government cannot dish out N1.3 trillion all at once, there was an agreement between the Federal Government and the leadership of the ASUU that the needs be addressed over a period of five years with a provision of 220bn every year,’’ he said.

Shekarau said that the first phase of N220 billion was released early in 2014, adding that there were still some few universities that had yet to access their share of the grant.

According to him, the NEEDS intervention is in addition to normal budgetary allocations to universities and TETFund interventions, among others.

The minister said that similar assessments had been completed for public polytechnics and colleges of education.

Shekarau said that the focus of Jonathan on education was to increase access and build capacity with quality education.

He said that the government had demonstrated its desire for improved education by establishing 12 new universities.

He noted that it was first time in the history of Nigeria when such number of universities would be established at a time.

The education minister said that the Federal Government also approved nine new private universities recently while there were plans to approve another nine private universities across the country.
