"push to fp"...as if e go make buhari open boarder.

Bros, how you carry know.

But come o, is the presidency also eat Nigeria rice?

What about the one against Tinubu?

These are few picks captured at the site. it stretched over half a km and so deep

When SP Saraki was pointing at this malfeasance he was tagged all sorts of names and the Presidency set Nigerians (the fools, called zombies) against him. Today, we can safely say Nigeria's budget is less than N4tr if all these blind allocations are deleted

This is a very good one from Umahi. Will his sucessor keep the feat or even maintain the existing ones? This is where the problem of Nigeria lies

This is a very conservative figure if marijuana is listed among the drugs.
It is almost half of the youth population if not more

Thanks. I appreciate the op and other contributors.

But seriously you are a Principal Suspect

The specs enumerated is finer than the price tagged.

This id a typical example of the fencing during my secondary school days. All the students will labour to build a fence they actually know they will break.

The neigbouring countries can do well to be silent and allow Nigerians do the "fence-break". It is not yet time. Their comments on the border closure only make our government to puff. In reality, the reverse holds.

It is just a matter of time if only they can keep quiet.

Are you selling the phone with the crack

2020 Budget: Ministries, agencies over-pricing projects — Lawan
October 23, 2019Yusuf Akinpelu


The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has called for streamlining of the process of allocation and releases of funds to ministries.

He said this has become important against the backdrop of overpricing of projects proposed in the budget by ministries, and the paucity of revenue.

Mr Lawan, who spoke during the national hearing of the 2020 budget organised by the senate committee on appropriation Wednesday, said uniformity will be ensured in the prices that will be passed for similar projects of ministries.

“Our projects are overpriced. What maybe procured in $10,000 in one country maybe you use a hundred thousand (dollars) in Nigeria and knowing fully that we have a paucity of funds and revenues.

“I think the time has come that we have to do something about it. If 10 agencies of the government need to purchase an item, say item A, they are going to the same market, why should they give us different prices? Why?

“So in this budget, our committees will look into that. If you are buying computers and 10 ministries are buying, you must make sure the price remains the same and it is not overpriced.”

A major feature in the 2020 budgetary proposal (budgetoffice.gov.ng/index.php/2020-executive-budget-proposal), like previous versions, is the presence of lump sums.

Figures are quoted without details like quantity, suggesting no market survey was done before the prices were proposed or a premeditated attempt to inflate prices.

An example is an ongoing project of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) with the code ERGP10140070, named “purchase of one 500KVA soundproof generators for Lagos office”, and priced at ₦26,930,992.

According to online sales shop Jumia, this item goes for ₦19 million.



But Mr Lawan said the legislature would not have any of this.

“The Ministry of Finance has an efficiency unit, we have to work on this. We are not after contractors. We need to have some margins forming contractors to their businesses,” he said.

“Whether a contractor is Nigerian or a foreigner, that contractor must be concerned with the situation of Nigeria. If you are a Nigerian contractor, that even makes it more mandatory that you are patriotic in addition to getting your profit.”

The defence of budgets by MDAs is in its second week and this is expected to end Friday.

I would rather we teach them corruption. This can be helpful to check the menace. Teaching them the "Anti" aspect only makes them to dig more for themselves.

Just imagine what Civic Education's Drug Abuse, Cultism, and Biology's Reproductive System has done

The Nigeria Police Force has kept mum over the investigation and
prosecution of suspects of the Offa armed robbery on April 5, 2018,
resulting in the killing of more than a dozen people including
policemen, bank workers, and customers.
The police have also not informed the public if the millions of naira
stolen by the robbers have been recovered.
Last December, the police said it had yet to recover the loot.
Five suspects were later arrested and arraigned before Ilorin high
court on the offence bordering on criminal conspiracy to rob the
banks, robbery of the banks, conspiracy to murder, the murder of nine
policemen and other innocent citizens, and illegal possession of
firearms.
Efforts by SaharaReporters to confirm if the police have concluded the
investigation and prosecution on the matter were unsuccessful as
several calls made to the telephone of the police spokesman, Frank
Mba, were not answered.
Mba also declined to respond to a text message sent to him.
In March this year, a suspect facing trial for his alleged involvement
in the April 5 bank robbery accused the police of forcing him to
indict Senate President Bukola Saraki.
The suspect, Friday Akininibosin, stated this while giving his
testimony at a high court in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Akininibosin told the court that he had no personal knowledge of
Saraki before he was arrested and that a former policeman allegedly
involved in the robbery, Michael Adikwu, was killed for his inability
to go with the alleged plan of the prosecutors.
Shortly after the April 5 robbery, the police cited confessions made
by the accused persons during the investigation, as indicting Saraki.
The police also said a picture of one of the accused at a wedding with
Saraki emerged, linking the then-Senate president with the armed
robbers.
According to the police, the suspects alleged to have worked as
political thugs for Saraki who allegedly supplied them with
ammunition.
Saraki denied any wrongdoing and accused the police of victimizing him.
Akininibosin retracted his earlier stance and accused the police of
masterminding his confession which he claimed was written for him by
some policemen.
“My hands and legs were tied to the back and suspended in between two
tables by iron rod for like one hour 30 minutes. Then the senior
police officer, Abba Kyari, came around to tell me that I should say
that it was the Senate president that gave us guns to rob Offa banks,”
Akininibosin said.
“I told him my life is at stake here and that I wouldn’t do such.
Then, he said I should do that for them and that they’ll pay me and
thereafter set me free. I disagreed and was carried back to the cell
on his instruction as I couldn’t walk.”
The accused further revealed, “I was shot on my two legs. I was later
taken to Abba Kyari's office, where he asked to know if I was ready to
cooperate and I said yes and pleaded not to kill me. The next day was
when Michael Adikwu was brought to identify us and say what connected
us together. The dismissed officer said he didn’t know us and after
much torture, he was shot dead in our presence.”
The police later confirmed Adikwu’s death in its custody but said he
died of natural causes.
Akininibosin said a journalist was later brought in who took his
confessional statement, allegedly made under duress.
“I was panicky, thinking I was next to die. Later, a female TV
journalist was brought by a police officer with a note, saying that
was what they wanted me to say, and that if not, I will 'travel',
meaning, I would be killed.
“That was how I agreed in the presence of the female journalist, who
recorded while I was also beaten at intervals.”
In October 2018, the Kwara State government accused the Nigerian
police of being economical with the truth regarding the April 2018
robbery suspects in Offa.
The police had reportedly blamed the attorney-general and commissioner
for justice for delaying the arraignment of the suspects.
They said they had concluded investigations and sent the case file to
the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Abubakar Malami, who directed that the file be sent to the state
Attorney-General.
Reacting to the police statement in Ilorin, Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN) described the police
utterances as ‘cheap blackmail'.
Ajibade said: “I see this as a cheap blackmail by the police. They
have something to hide, which they are yet to tell Nigerians. I am
sure at the end of the day, Nigerians will know what has transpired in
this matter. That is why the police are passing the buck.
"They can now see that Nigerians have started asking questions that if
you’ve arrested suspects since April and they are yet to be arraigned,
then there must be something about it. I urge people to ask questions
about this matter.
“I am surprised, particularly the statement coming from the police
spokesman, Jimoh Moshood. Moshood, without being personal, is from
Ilorin. He has contacts and I am sure he follows events in the Kwara
Command. He knows that the suspects are still with him at the police
headquarters.
“Why will he now mislead the public that we are yet to prosecute? How
can you prosecute people kept in Abuja in Kwara State High Court? It
is not possible.”
The attorney-general added, “I want to confirm to you that a letter
was written from the Office of the Director of the Public Prosecution
of the Federation under the Office of the Attorney-General of the
Federation. My office received the letter on August 27.
“The content of the letter had to do with the investigation report on
the Offa robbery and directing my office to take up the prosecution of
the matter.
“Immediately we received this letter on September 6, we wrote a letter
through the Office of the State Director of the Public Prosecution to
the Office of the Attorney-General requesting them to provide for us
the original case diary in the Offa robbery and to transfer the
suspects to Kwara State Police Command. We waited for about three
weeks and did not hear anything from them.
“I then met the AIG Legal, David Ogbodo and requested that the
original case diary be sent to Kwara to enable us to start prosecution
of the matter. I also requested him to send the suspects to Kwara
State and he told me that he had directed the man in charge. That is
Abba Kyari.
“We waited for another week, we could not get anything from them. So,
I directed my DPP to liaise with the police this time. He liaised with
the police both in the state and with Abbah Kyari. They promised every
day that they would send the suspects to Kwara and the original case
diary, to no avail.
“You cannot prosecute under the law without having the original case
diary. You cannot even file a charge without the case diary and in
filing a charge, you have to exhibit what we call proof of evidence.
“This proof of evidence entails the statements of witnesses.
Statements of witnesses in this sense, we are talking of the people
that investigated Offa robbers. We don’t have all this with us. We
don’t have the suspects on the ground, we don’t have the witnesses on
the ground.
“How do you file a charge? How do you prosecute people you cannot see?”

It will be difficult for genuine fellows fellows to drop their contacts here.

As the promoted you have not dropped you contacts including physical address but you want your clients to.

This is a classical case of corruption and this government will become a benchmark for measuring corruption index after 2023

When it comes to securing a future, many made sacrifices in different ways. The rain this morning started about 7.24 when the students were set to leave for school.

They had reenact the old good days when cocoyam leaves, plantain leaves provided shelter to school.

May God bless their effort.

Hmmm! Even Ghana that is heaven compared to the shithole called Nigeria, you are crying. Please kindly visit Nigeria and you will better appreciate what it means to be corrupt.

A very fantastic Police here will tell you that Nigerians are in deep trouble.

I dont want to be the Thomas here. I thought her assumption is premised on any policy by the government. That assumption on a robust or bumped harvest of rice planted on pages of paper is too dangerous to count.

That man who ate food and foot beaten in Kano should not try again o!

The man doesn't know that Nigerians do not depend on what NTA, the Nation, Lai Mohammed, Buhari, Oshiomhole, and others.

Nanono- just divide the name into 3 equal parts you will understand.

That's ready made wife. He should be happy

That's just possible where the government is on the side of the people.

In this hopeless country, they will increase VAT and collect Stamp duty (N50) on transactions above N1000
