Politics / Electricity Tariff Hike: Labour Demands Reversal As Protests Begin Today by Poisonousman: 6:03am On May 13 |
The organised labour will on Monday (today) commence nationwide protests over the electricity tariff hike and removal of subsidy from the power sector by the Federal Government. The National Treasurer of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Olatunji Ambali and the National Deputy President of the Trade Union Congress, Tommy Etim, who confirmed the planned protests to The PUNCH in separate interviews on Sunday, insisted on the reversal of the tariff hike to the subsidy era. The labour action is expected to lead to the shutdown of the Abuja headquarters of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Power and state offices of power distribution companies. The NERC announced the hike in the electricity tariff for Band A customers at a press briefing in Abuja on April 3, revealing that those affected would pay N225 per kilowatt-hour, up from the previous rate of N68/kWh. The hike represented a 240 per cent increase. The development marked the removal of subsidy from the tariff of customers in the Band A category, who constituted about 15 per cent of the total 12.82 million power consumers across the country. https://punchng.com/electricity-tariff-hike-labour-demands-reversal-as-protests-begin-today/ |
Politics / Drop Cabinet Members Accused Of Corruption,’ Jimoh Ibrahim Tells Tinubu by Poisonousman: 1:11pm On May 09 |
The Senator representing Ondo South and a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Jimoh Ibrahim has suggested that certain ministers facing corruption allegations should be removed from the cabinet. Ibrahim, speaking during a Channels TV programme, Politics Today, disclosed this on Wednesday night and urged President Bola Tinubu to dissolve his cabinet and dismiss specific ministers. “You have to dissolve the cabinet. You have to come up with knowledgeable people. The cabinet is too cold,” the senator stated. The member of the Senate Appropriation Committee expressed disappointment that the current ministers do not meet the country’s top standards and are not the most suitable for addressing the nation’s economic challenges, evident in the year since the President’s inauguration “You have to dissolve the cabinet, you have to come up with knowledgeable people, the cabinet is too cold, and some of them accused of corruption should be dropped,” he emphasised. Earlier, the senator also reiterated that the primary election conducted ahead of the governorship election coming up in the Ondo State was a “mega fraud.” This is as he, in turn, defended his action to seek its cancellation. https://punchng.com/drop-cabinet-members-accused-of-corruption-jimoh-ibrahim-tells-tinubu/ |

Politics / FG Plans Three National ID Cards For 104m Nigerians June by Poisonousman: 5:50am On Apr 08 |
The Federal Government is to launch three new national identity cards in May this year and has a target of providing them for about 104 million citizens across the country. The three new national identity cards planned by the National Identity Management Commission include a bank-enabled National ID card, a social intervention card, and an optional ECOWAS National Biometric Identity Card. The Technical Adviser, Media, and Communications to the Director-General of NIMC, Ayodele Babalola, who disclosed these in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday, said Nigerians would start getting the three national ID cards within one or two months of the launch. He, however, said the launch date (May), was subject to the approval of the Presidency. Babalola stated, “We expect the bank-enabled National ID to meet the needs of the middle and upper segments who typically use banks within the next one or two months after launch. Also, activation of the National Safety Net Card to meet the urgent needs for authentication and a secure platform for government services such as palliatives within the next one or two months. The focus will be on the 25 million vulnerable Nigerians funded by the current government intervention programmes.” https://punchng.com/fg-plans-three-national-id-cards-for-104m-nigerians-june/ |

Politics / Nigerians Not Financing Terrorism, Gumi Faults Fg’s List by Poisonousman: 3:39pm On Mar 21 |
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, has disagreed with the Federal Government over its recently released list of those linked to terrorism financing in the country. The PUNCH reports that the Federal Government uncovered the identity of 15 entities, including nine individuals and six Bureau De Change operators and firms, allegedly involved in terrorism financing. Details of the development were revealed by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, in an email sent to our correspondent on Tuesday night, entitled “Designation of Individuals and Entities for March 18, 2024.” The document revealed that the Nigeria Sanctions Committee met on March 18, 2024, where specific individuals and entities were recommended for sanction following their involvement in terrorism financing. Top of the list of individuals named in the document was Gumi’s ally and Kaduna-based publisher, Tukur Mamu, who is currently being tried by the Federal Government for allegedly aiding the terrorists who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train in March 2022. According to the document, Mamu “participated in the financing of terrorism by receiving and delivering ransom payments over the sum of $200,000 US in support of ISWAP terrorists for the release of hostages of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.” But reacting to the development on Twitter spaces organised by Daily Trust on Wednesday, Gumi, who faulted the list, explained that the security agencies had no right to label anyone a terrorist financier. https://punchng.com/nigerians-not-financing-terrorism-gumi-faults-fgs-list/ |

Politics / Osun, APC Disagree Over Choice Of Monarchs by Poisonousman: 12:08pm On Mar 10 |
The main opposition political party in Osun State, the All Progressives Congress, and the state government are on a collision course over the emergence of new monarchs for Iree and Igbajo communities. The APC in a statement by its chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, on Saturday, accused the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke of promoting crisis in Igbajo and Iree by tinkering with the choice of the legally installed monarchs of the two towns. Earlier, a white paper released after a probe by the Ademola Adeleke administration, on the circumstances surrounding the installation of monarchs appointed by the immediate past governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, had declared vacant the stool of both the Aree of Iree and Owa of Igbajo and called for commencement of fresh selection process. The party noted that when the Adeleke administration met a stumbling block in rallying the support of the kingmakers of Igbajo to do the re-selection of another Owa of Igbajo, it resorted to the recruitment of five non-indigenes of the town on Friday who were instantly appointed warrant chiefs. It further alleged that those appointed posed as kingmakers at the Multi-purpose Conference Hall of the Local Government Service Commission, State Secretariat, Abere, Osun State, to elect a new Owa of Igbajo. https://punchng.com/osun-apc-disagree-over-choice-of-monarchs/ |
