The Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution headed by Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has provided the public with an email address through which they can make their inquiries. There’s only one problem, though: the email address is invalid.

The email and one of the phone numbers, which was switched off, was in a circular shared on Tuesday evening that invited the public to a public hearing on “The Proposed Alteration to the Provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999”, starting on Wednesday, May 26.

Sada Malumfashi, a journalist and digital security expert who discovered this, tweeted: “The email provided in this circular is a non-existent email address for an issue and a document this sensitive. It’s about the review of the Nigerian constitution but the email address provided for inquiry is invalid.”

The GMail address (scrs8@gmail.com) is not an official Nigerian Senate email and has made Nigerians question the seriousness of the lawmakers. FIJ equally checked the website of the Nigerian Senate but the website could not be found.

The zonal public hearing will be held at two centres across each of the six geo-political zones from 10am to 5pm and will address issues around gender equity and increased participation of women and vulnerable groups in governance, power devolution, local government autonomy, the establishment of state police and electoral reforms amongst others.

Malumfashi further explained the implication of the Nigerian Senate using a Gmail account: “Google is a US-based organization with their cybers situated in the US, which means they are legally bound to provide data to the United States Government when necessary, and basically this means all conversations on the Nigerian constitution via that channel can be monitored or used by Google based on the terms and conditions of opening a Gmail account. Moreover, it’s very unprofessional if you look at it, when the government, especially the Federal Ministry of Communication, is championing a digital revolution of using .gov.ng accounts.”

FIJ reached out to the Clerk to the Committee, Dr Innocent Mebiri for comments, but calls to his phone went unanswered and he did not reply to the message sent to his number on the circular.

The public hearing will hold in Jos, Minna, Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Sokoto, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, Port Harcourt, Lagos and Akure centres. The hearing will end on Thursday, May 27.

That must be deliberate.

Who are they deceiving except themselves

70% of the Nigerian elite class didn't get there by merit,na olodo den be na.
Many got there via all manner of nepotistic operations.

please bear with us we need million to fund the creation of the email address and 5 million for some card

The senate will need a budget of #1.243 billion to create a new email address reason being that the address,which was earlier provided has been destroyed.
Inotherwords,the senate will constitute an "email handling" committee to review the reason the older address was destroyed,on how to go about creating the new email address and also oversee that the funds are released by the Fed Govt for this course.



Mad criminals in government

To open Gmail account is free...they would definitely have embezzled a lot to create d email account...why on Earth will Senate use a Gmail account for this sensitive stuff? Well I'm not surprised...I can bet that 90% of these Senators cant even navigate their computers or are familiar with the internet not to talk of navigating Gmail properly

Blame azikuwe for this

I'm not surprised.

If you want to earn money online check my signature. All you have to do is roll every hour to earn. My friend got 8k after two weeks

All these are part of the plan, he will definitely put up a denial.

Waste

Bunch of Illiterate clowns. SMH

Fighting For a Man is a waste of time because he's going to sleep with the winner today and the loser tomorrow.

Fight for Your career and future, the right Man will fight for you

I come in peace

Either of 3 things:
1. They embezzled the money for "creation of a government email" (these guys can place a budget on anything)
2. They are so dumb they put a dot somewhere by mistake (they won't even know because their IT person may be a quota system part-time fulani herder
3. They just want to confuse people by putting a fake one

E no shock me, apc taking Nigerians for granted since 2015

Can young people just rise and push these old cargoes away? It's becoming so irritating. How can these guy's that don't know the importance of a functional website and email still be at the helm of affairs

That is so shameful and pathetic, a whole Nigeria Senate. How do will believe now that they are serious with the process. What a failed country ruling with failed set of people in this century.

this is what happens when you have bunch of mo..rons,dullards,blood suckers,bandits,terrorists running an already failed state
now they will have to budget another billion dollars to set up an email which one can do with a small chinko phone.
I wonder who we offend for this nation

Lol

I just tried to register the email and I'm told its already taken.

So how can it not exist?

Foolish lawnmowers

The Committee Clerk is to blame, still if the lawmakers were more committed to really scrutinizing each work that passes by them this mistake wouldn't have been made.
Nigeria sef

Una no fit shame who no get shame, nah eem make madmen no send nak.edness for street.

This is laughable.
Who takes those bunch greedy and rubber stamp members serious?
Let them keep deceiving themselves while their minions and urchins on NL continue to clap and applaud them.

... Chaired by Omo Agege, the man who led other hoodlums to jump over National fence.

Simply put, Exercise in futility.

These are the people who want to improve the lives of Nigerians?? They can’t even take anything serious! Why is Nigeria a joke of a country?

Using a free email account for sensitive matters, there compromising security info et’al. Shame on these bunch of unscrupulous and misguided elements in our hollowed chambers!
