Few days to the end of his administration, Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari, honoured his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan by naming a federal government building after him, IGBERETV reports.

The Federal Government built secretariats in Anambra, Bayelsa and Zamfara states to cut expenditures on rent for office spaces.

Commissioning the secretariats on Tuesday, Buhari said the structures would “reduce the cost of governance by bringing federal civil servants under one roof for efficient service delivery.”

The new buildings are Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Federal Secretariat in Yenagoa, Ebele Okeke Federal Secretariat in Awka, and Malam Yahaya Gusau Federal Secretariat in Gusau.

According to the President, making infrastructure development a key point of focus in his administration was deliberate “to create wealth and make poverty alleviation easier.”

"Tinubu should ignore the tears of Ganduje and go ahead with his plan to compensate Kwankwaso with 2 ministerial slots. He should also compensate Obi because they both played a major role in his emergence."

"Tinubu will be president in 8days. Kwankwaso and Obi made it possible by reducing their oga, Atiku’s votes. Obi took his own to the extreme by even using religious bigotry to do so."

"In a flight bound to Abuja from Lagos this morning, I have the privilege of sitting close to Distinguished Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.

We discussed on many issues, particularly the National Assembly politics, insecurity problems in Nigeria, foreign policy, and the Senate. He was frank, open , principled and astute as always.

It was a refreshing conversation."

“beyond my official and public duties, I have a life that must be respected by all. A right guaranteed to all Congolese by our Constitution. Tarnishing my image should not be a tolerated habit.

“Indeed, it could harm not only my commitments, but also the image of my married male colleagues and their homes.

“On the eve of the electoral contests scheduled for December of this year, political detractors can attack my opinions and political actions rather than opting for practices tending to smear my person.”

"What Seun did was wrong. And I condemn it. But Seun has a history with the police and the military that has scarred him for life. They beat his Septuagenarian grandmother and threw her from the first floor to the ground. She died from the injuries sustained. His father carried her coffin to Dodan barracks in tears! Till today, NOBODY was punished for the crime against Olufunmilayo Kuti. They beat his father to an inch of his life. Multiple times. They burnt down their residence, with multiple vets and other property. They were never paid compensation. The police raided the shrine episodically, right from when Seun was a baby to his adulthood.

And even in this incident involving the slap, there was provocation from the policeman. I am not saying that the provocation justified the slap. My motive is just to put things in context.

What he did was condemnable. It is unacceptable. But when you look at his personal history, there are mitigating circumstances. And I beg the Inspector General of Police to take Seun's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder into account. Because even Buhari's wife, Aisha, admitted that her husband also suffers from PTSD due to his experience with the Nigerian state apparatus.

The police is as institutionally to blame for what happened to that policeman as Seun. Let us do story here and not just justice.

"Everyday for the thief but surely one day for the owner. Kudos to Nigeria Police Force Kano State for their cooperation with TMC in getting the culprit of a stolen phone about 8 months ago. Also a sum of 500,000 ( Five hundred thousand naira) was withdrawn through the owner's phone palm pay account. The process might take so long, but Justice will surely prevail."
