Governors under the auspices of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) say they were not voted into power to pay salaries alone but also to provide good roads, electricity, education and other necessary amenities.



The Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Abdulaziz Yari, has spoken out on the ongoing negotiation for a new national minimum wage after a meeting of the governors of the 36 states of the federation on Wednesday night in Abuja.


According to Tribune, the Governor of Zamfara state, told reporters that the governors want the national income to be examined over the last 14 years so that its exact position can be determined.
The NGF chairman regretted that states government have been limited to only the payment of salaries and unable to take care of development responsibilities in other sectors such as health, electricity, education, among others.


He said that the governments have no magic to meet the expectations of the people if they do not have the required funds.
On minimum wage, Yari said: “We have a committee of six which represented us in discussions in the committee headed by Labour minister. The committee is yet to give us the final report.


"When they give us the final report, for which they have our mandate to present our position, and the position most likely is to look at the record of up to 14 years.
“For instance, in global practice, in your income, how much are you spending as salary? So that we can start from there. They have given us an interim report, that at the of the federal government level, over 82 per cent is being spent on overhead which cannot move the country forward in terms of infrastructure development and development that we need now.


“So, on our own part, we are saying we are going to look at how our income is trained from our final account from 14 years ago so that we can come up and stay in the middle.
“I don’t think you people voted us for only to pay salaries. You are looking for good roads, electricity, education and others. So, we can’t do magic. It’s only when we have the funds do all those things.”


Speaking against the backdrop of the freezing of Akwa Ibom and Benue states government accounts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Yari said that even President Muhammadu Buhari will not support the illegalities perpetrated by the agencies.
He said: “We believe strongly that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari will not sit down and supervise this illegality in the system.


“What we are saying is that we all support the government to fight corruption because it is endemic and has suffered the nation for over six decades. Definitely, it was part of what we discussed.
“What we are saying now is that we are going to support the government in terms of what it is doing to fight corruption, but the due process must be respected in whatever action the agencies are going to take in the name of fighting corruption.”

The difference is clear between North and South

Southerners invest much into education and also a Southerner is committed in his family because he has alot of responsibility. Now you don't expect someone who has a dream or a youth whom much had been invested into to always engage in street violence. We are not crazy, we are responsible

Back to topic I think the clear difference here is your poor level of judgement.
1. how r you sure there's no police station nearby.
2. I thought Ipob did the same last year even went ahead of killing many and you guys said it was a peaceful protest.. Advice, Pls let's always think and write with open mind.
Thank you.

Don't they know the road to The police station why are they causing traffic on the peaceful street disturbing people that came to find money

The state House of Assembly, has confirmed Mr Calistus Ekenze, as the replacement of Madumere few hours after the Impeachment of Madumere.

The confirmation was after the Majority leader of the House, Mr. Lugard Osuji, moved the motion for the adoption of Ekenze, as Madumere’s replacement.

Until the Ekenze recognition by the state House of Assembly, he was the head of Imo state civil service.
Ekenze is from the same Mbaitoli local government area, of the impeached deputy governor.

Two Christian governors convicted while the muslim ones jolly about.

We know your plans so that they won't help their people separate from you "if" the separation move finally materializes.

I pity the Christians in Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, Adamawa, Maiduguri and other core northern states.

Those who know, know what I'm talking about. Nigeria problems

If you quote me and use vulgar language. I will just wash you with fire and brimstone.

Just don't come and receive free insults.

Suspected herdsmen said to identified as Bororos have allegedly killed a father of two, Olayemi Tunde, 32, in Ipao Ekiti in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State. He was killed on Sunday afternoon while he was returning from his farm.

It was gathered that Olayemi, a commercial motorbike driver who also has a farm in the farm settlement in Ipao Ekiti had gone to his farm to harvest some cassava when he met his death.
Every crime is fulani herdsmen two fighting fulani herdsmen , why all these propaganda .... I don't doubt the fact fulani people kill but not in all southern states na .It makes no sense I'm not here to expect 400likes to win a case but intelligent sense won't agree to this.

Narrating how the incident happened, Chairman of Ikole Local Government Area, Mrs. Abiola Ajayi, who briefed newsmen on the tragic development via the telephone, said: " The deceased was an Okada operator who has a farm in the settlement. He had gone to his farm to harvest some cassava . He was with one other person. They were heading back to town from the farm and have loaded the motorbike with cassava when they saw some Fulani herdsmen coming towards them. They two of them were said to have been surprised at seeing the herdsmen. They said it was at that point the herdsmen brought out their gun and the two of the farmers had to run for their life.

" The Bororos were said to have pursued the two men and eventually got Olayemi who they massacred like a cow.

"We have reported the matter to the nearest police station and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) has since swung into action and sent two vehicles and they have gone to the scene of the murder to take the corpse and also commence investigation, " she said.

Head of the local hunters in the community, Mr Adebayo Odeyemi sounded very angry on the development.

He said the hunters have declared war on the herdsmen and would not allow such development to be repeated.

He continued, "we haven't attacked any herdsman but they have killed one person in the community now and right now, we will ensure they are not allowed to do this again.

"We are valiant men not cowards and we will face them this time around defend the community, defend the farms. They have massacred one of us mercilessly and this won't happen again.

the pictures show the rate of unemployment in Nigeria,especially in the North. Anybody that is gainfully employed should not have time to come and wave at the same man who have taken away their future since 1975 through bad policies and management. i weep for Nigeria,especially northern Nigeria. The high rate of illiteracy over there is highly alarming.

Excuse me!?? You blame it on CAN?
i dont know what religion you profess, but CAN or the Religion they stand for isn't in pursuit of extremism. They don't kill innocent people to attain personal or mundane goals.
The other religion profess violence to achieve a wicked goal, CAN and the religion that stand for profess peace.
Now do well to retract your allegation.

You're crazy! The report on the newspaper clip says North and South. North includes NW, NE and NC. Southern Nigeria is made up of SW, SE and SS. Every Tom and Jerry knows that 80% of all economic activities in this country takes place in the South. So where exactly is my bias coming from?

CaptainECole:
Many of us in the science field and beyond know the imbalance happening in the STEM(Science Technology Engineering &Mathematics) courses.. gender imbalance!
... Many of us have noticed that their are few females in the areas,when you step into an average engineering department, or technology department, you could count the number of females in these courses as opposed to other female-populated courses like Business Admin,Medical courses, Arts and etcetera.
Which leads one to ask—Why?
..Well ponder no more, here are the obvious reasons why there are few females in STEM courses. Enjoy!
1.STEM courses are too long This is a known fact,to study a course like engineering,technology,one is required to spend at least 5 years in school, and this opposes females because an average female will wanna get married as an undergraduate and even have kids, and as a result, they'd rather go for shorter courses in the social sciences,arts or business.
2.STEM courses are male dominated :Obviously! These set of courses are usually male dominated, e.g. Engineering. So for a girl to apply for theses set of courses,it would mean breaking away from the social norm of "girls going for arts and boys for STEM"
. In fact,some girls in these departments usually feel obliged to dress masculine, avoid putting on earrings, so as to avoid feeling so feminine in the midst of males. A girl will rather identify with the social norm and not want to feel odd.
3.There are few female role-models in these fields :Convincing a female to go for STEM courses will be like convincing a lion to eat grass,because there ain't much female role models that one can look up to. This discourages an average female, outside the schools,its a male dominated industry too. So? That's the consequence!
4.STEM courses are expensive :Like it or not! when you're going for a Technology or Engineering course,you will be required to pay more! And for a lower middle-class economy like Nigeria's, it will be a struggle. I've seen many students struggling to pay fees,the stress of having to work and study at the same time in order to pay fees,buy textbooks, and other expenses connected with the courses is something so daunting. As a result many females are discouraged cuz they sure can't handle the stress! Men are tough na
5. Many girls are afraid of mathematics and calculations : This is something you discover right from your days in secondary school, a lotta girls shiver whenever they encounter mathematics or any calculations .. we boys use this as a pretext to get that fine girl in our class/department lol... Consequently, many girls will rather avoid calculative courses and the likes .. they'd rather go for the theory or management based courses.. it's not their fault na,its just so they will have time for themselves. ..


Today, there are more opportunities available to girls. Organisations such as the World Academy of Science, the Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World, L’Oreal for Women in Science, the Elsevier Foundation, and the British CouncilGhana all have awards, recognition and fellowships specifically for girls and women. The Visiola Foundationalso provides scholarships for girls to study STEM, and an annual week-long STEM Summer Camp to pique the interest of women in the STEM fields from an early age.
