This headline is sensational and meant to bring up sentiments. The government from day one had acknowledged the missing girls, but claimed that actual numbers unknown until confirmation by stake holders especially the parents.
Now we know the numbers, may God Almighty help our security agencies to rescue them fast

NaijaEfcc:
The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, in 2017 appropriated and claimed to have spent N65 million on its website.

PREMIUM TIMES review of the 2017 budget performance of the OSGF revealed that N65 million was budgeted for the already existing website while the office claimed that N64, 855, 875, the amount released, had been fully utilised.

Quoted as ‘OSGF WEBSITE,’ the budget performance record remarked that the ‘procurement process is ongoing.’

The office of the SGF is currently occupied by Boss Mustapha who was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2017. The office was formerly occupied by Babachir Lawal who was sacked after President Buhari adopted recommendations of a report of a panel headed by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, which investigated allegations against Mr. Lawal who was suspended for months.

PREMIUM TIMES could not ascertain which of the two government officials executed the project.

Appearing before the Senate committee in January 2018 to defend the 2017 budget performance, Mr. Mustapha said the office received 50 per cent of its appropriation for capital projects.

“Performance for capital is N1.2 billion released as at end of December, 2017. It represents 50 per cent. We are hoping that the National Assembly will extend the lifespan of the budget so that we can handle other procurement processes.

Apparently, the fund release for the website is one of those captured in Mr. Mustapha’s 50 per cent but the cost and execution of the project left more to desire.

Spokesperson to Mr. Mustapha, Mohammed Nakorji, when contacted, declined to answer PREMIUM TIMES’ questions on how the fund was disbursed.

“I’m not an accountant please,” he snapped.

Meanwhile, technology experts say the claim was suspicious and impossible.

After a review of the website, communications officer of Paradigm Initiative Nigeria, PIN, Sodiq Alabi said the claim that N65 million was spent on the website looked ‘very impossible.’

“We have reviewed the website, it is simply shocking that N65 million was spent on the website. It’s implausible,” he said. “OSGF must provide more details on what they did with the money. The website has no special features to justify more than a million naira budget.

“It doesn’t look like they are even updating the website. The copyright is 2013. It looks very impossible and suspicious. At least the SGF office should tell us what they did with the money. They should tell us what they did with the money so that Nigerian tax payers’ mind can be at rest.”

Cheta Nwanze, Head of Research, SBM Intelligence, after a review of the website, said the N65 million could never be justified.

He said, “The website was built using the Joomla CMS, which is a free content management system. All of the media is hosted on YouTube, which is an external server. It uses Google Hosted Libraries for its content distribution. No way can it cost ₦65 million, unless I heard you wrong.”

He said the maximum cost for such a website would be $105 per month.

“Depending on the hosting package, $100 per month can get you a very good hosting plan. If you insist on using Google apps to host your emails and documents, that’s $5 per user per month. So you can do the maths.”

The problem is not selling the properties recovered

Buhari it is obvious that your Government lack Accountability

For example Mr Magu the man you appointed even against the wishes of the majority of the Senate does not know how much the commission he is heading has so far recovered from the so called FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION with is the top of you Government agenda.

The CBN does not know how much of the tax payers money you and your crew embezzled in the United KINGDOM all in the name of medical vacation.
Your government calm to have defeated Boko Harm but some how the defeated Boko boys are still busy carrying attacks on the innocent civilians (there was an attack by the same defeated Boko Harm whom your government claimed that its leader is now dressing like a woman running to escape)

Buhari i beg you just go back to Daura after this your 4 years of torment and punishment, i believe Nigerians have learnt there lesson they will this stupid to make the mistake did in electing an old man who does not know his actual age to become there president

Senator Shehu Sani of the ruling All Progressives Congress has revealed that the report of the restructuring committee headed by the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir Elrufai will be used as toilet paper and for wrapping suya and Akara whenever it gets to the senate.

Sani, who represents Kaduna Central in the National Assembly stated this on Tuesday while criticising the report of the committee constituted by his party to address the issue of restructuring.

The die-hard critic of Gov.Elrufai while insisting that there will be no restructuring in the country before or after 2019 elections, described the report as a ‘political gimmick’.

He said: “When eventually the El-Rufai restructuring committee reaches the senate, it will be photocopied to 109 pieces and shared to the senators to use as Toilet paper. If there are extra copies, it will be shared to Suya and Akara hawkers outside the National Assembly to use it to wrap their products.

“El-Rufai restructuring report will be shredded and modify to serve as a good toilet paper for senators. If there’s seriousness in restructuring it could have started in 2015.”

According to Sani, the report was aimed at diverting people’s attention from a letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

“El-Rufai APC restructuring committee is self-serving, political gimmick aimed at diverting attention away from Obasanjo’s letter. It’s also a campaign document for 2019. It’s not a report worthy of the paper it was written,” Mr. Sani said.

Mr. Sani wondered how APC would expect Nigerians to take its sudden restructuring move serious after appointing an anti-restructuring Governor to head the committee.

“El-Rufai is anti-restructuring. There will be no restructuring before and after 2019.The President had repeatedly made it clear that the problem is process so what are we talking about.

“El-Rufai simply want to eat his cake and have it; orally calling supporters of restructuring as opportunists and on the other hand submitting a report in support of it,” he said.

Suanu’s Blog recalls that the committee recommended devolution of power to states, establishment of state police and independent candidacy among others.

Unfortunately Yorubas don't listen to them or how come Buhari won their domains in 2015 Election ¡

Thought he is a Fulani guy like Buhari!!

Earlier to do ay,I shared photos of Fulani people killed in Taraba state by Bachama militias.Aliyu who shared the story refused to tell his followers that villagers were also killed by the herdsmen.A doctor named Divine who works at FMC Jalingo has revealed that Fulani herdsmen also killed many villagers in the same communities in Taraba.Below is what he wrote...

'Fulani herdsmen go viral in Donada and Kaltibu villages of Lau LGA of Taraba State killing over 50 people, many wounded and thousands left homeless. This happened yesterday. Federal Gov't has remained silent over the killings of Christians and peasant farmers by Fulani Malitia'

Still an ethnicity and religion sentiments. Are they all christians?

No one would blame him because we knew evil forces and people with no conscience are behind it

This is what i called sensational reportage. Jonathan rules from when till when?

These people have not learnt anything! This is the same pattern leading to their 2015 loss.

dingbang:
I can't believe this is coming from the vice president.

That means what he is telling the good people of Nigeria that he doesn't love his job and can't work optimally because he is underpaid.

Nigerian leaders have a big case to answer on judgement day. I am not even bothered because the lord has specially written it for them in his bible so let them do all they like when in power.

People like you misinterpret. What he is simply saying remains the fact that Nigerians workers are under paid, most especially in the private Sector using the Media as a case study, this anomaly results to corrupt practices. As a Professional, he should know.

Some people can die for GEJ case, imagine!

After thought. Your mission is to truncate your case! Making noise all about , only 66 votes. Ask Secondus and Adeniran how them do am bro

Does the dunce know the dynamics of economics and its indices?

A man who have never written any book in his life nighter has he delivered any intellectual speech is nothing but a Dundee who ought to be tending to his herd of cows in Daura than bringing sorrows and misery to Nigerians.

You surely lack some Home training. I am sorry o, just in case you have achieved what Buhari had over the years. Meanwhile, can you share some of your published books here for free!!

All about the media as regards to 2019 is Buhari vs Atiku. On the sidelines we have names like Lamido popping up. My question is, why is the south not making any move towards taking the presidency come 2019.

We produce the resources, are more educated but sit back and let the north dictate the nations politics since 1960. This has to stop, modern politics is all about the media, and we control the media (both the regular media and social media), so what are we afraid of. I dare to say we must not choose btw Atiku(desperation) and Buhari (failure), let the south feed a candidate and rally behind him.

This my theory..... If we feed a southern Christian from SS e. g Donald Duke he has a good chance of winning

1. Both SE and SW would vote for him since he is neither Igbo or Yoruba(as both tribes prefer to fight than support each other)
2. He is younger comparatively.... So those clamoring for a youthful candidate would vote him
3. The middle belt would vote him if we can use fulani menace against the core north
4. He has a good track record as governor of Cross rivers
5. The Christians in the NE could vote for him still because of fear of the fulanis and core northerners.
6. Buhari would always gt the NW bt another northern candidate means the vote in the NE would be shared that gives a consolidated sourthern candidate the advantage.
7. Finally we control the Media..... That's one of the ingredients needed to win an election.

I beg all southerners/middlebelterns alike, lets put our differences aside, Lets show the core North they don't own this country, lets stand up and effect a real change..... The Northern Islamic block has being ruling for years with nothing to show for it...... It mustn't be another Northern Muslim.
In 2015 I supported Buhari
Come 2019 am not voting a Northern Muslim.....
It Mustn't be between Buhari or Atiku..... Lets support our own.... Thats what the NW does every time.... They only vote for their own(Northern Muslim).

COME 2019 LET US SUPPORT OUR OWN. VOTE FOR A SOUTHERNER...
I WILL VOTE A SOUTHERNER.

We are tired of that Narration, let competent person be supported irrespective of tribe or religion. By the way, tell us what has the Southern President achieved for Nigerians if not for their own family and cronies
