PoliticsState House Press Release Senator Saraki And The Fictive Cabal by simongonner(op): 8:36pm On Jun 27, 2016
President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki, claims there is “now a government
within the government of President Buhari”,
which has allegedly seized the apparatus of
Executive powers to pursue a nefarious
agenda.
This claim by Senator Saraki would have been
more worth the while, if it had been backed
with more information. If he had proceeded to
identify those who constitute the “government
within the government,” it would have taken
the issue beyond the realm of fiction and mere
conjecture.
But as it stands, the allegation is not even
worth the paper on which it was written, as
anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and
say anything.
The Attorney-General of the Federation is the
Chief Law Officer of the state. It is within his
constitutional powers to determine who has
infringed upon the law, and who has not.
Pretending to carry an imaginary cross is
mere obfuscation, if, indeed, a criminal act
has been committed. But we leave the courts
to judge.
To claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is
anybody’s stooge is not only ridiculous, but
also preposterous. It is not in the character of
our President.

PoliticsExpect Gains Of Fuel Price Hike In One Month – IPMAN by simongonner(op): 9:43am On May 19, 2016
…Urges Nigerians to boycott strike action

By Michael Eboh
Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), yesterday, disclosed that the country would start reaping the benefits of the new pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol, in less than one month, which might include a reduction in the price of the commodity.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, President of IPMAN, Mr. Obasi Lawson, also called on Nigerians to ignore those calling for strike action against the hike in the price, stating that the new pump price will liberalize the oil and gas industry and also engender competition which will likely force price reduction of the product.

He called for patience, stating that the new policy would be beneficial to all at the end, stressing that tight as the new pump price may seem, IPMAN was looking forward to a gradual price decrease that will accommodate all stakeholders in the near future.

He, however, called on the Federal Government to release the proposed palliatives as quickly as possible to cushion the effects of the hike.

According to him, initially, the implementation of the policy would cause some form of pains, but in less than one month, Nigerians will start reaping the benefits of the new policy.

Lawson explained that over 7,000 tickets of PMS cargoes worth more than N20 billion, some of which were as old as one year, were tied up in the NNPC system, while he expressed optimism that with the new policy in place, the pending cargoes would b e easily released.

He emphasized that it is pertinent that the market be opened up for other stakeholders, due to the fact that the NNPC cannot meet up with petrol supply requirements in the country.
He said, “The new policy of the Federal Government that effected the change in price of PMS is a welcome development. We members of IPMAN welcome the policy because it is going to bring about total liberalisation and also engender competition in the industry.

“We have also put arrangement in place to import petroleum products so that we can serve our members. The policy is a good development so the issue of strike should be ignored. In fact, we are calling on all our members to go about their normal businesses and keep their petrol stations open.”

PoliticsNMA Backs FG On Deregulation Of Oil Sector by simongonner(op): 9:34am On May 19, 2016
The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA,
yesterday lend its weight to the Federal
government deregulation of the oil sector.
In a press statement signed by its President,
Prof Mike Ozovehe Ogirim, the medical
doctors however insisted that the deregulation
must be on grounds that part of the proposed
palliatives would include the immediate
release of at least 5 percent of the
consolidated revenue fund as the Basic
Healthcare Provision Fund (BHPF) which the
National Health Act has given to Nigerians
and has guaranteed it’s availability.
Ozovehe Ogirim, posited that the fund would
revamp Primary Health Care (PHC) and
reinvigorate the National Health Insurance
Scheme (NHIS) to cover all Nigerians.
According to him, “We also press for the
immediate rehabilitation and establishment of
functional PHC in all the wards nationwide as
a way of cushioning the harsh effects of out-
of-pocket expenditure and various inequities in
Healthcare delivery.”
He further urged the federal government to
mobilise contractors to sites of ongoing road
rehabilitation as this will reduce delays in
reaching health care facilities and reduce road
traffic accidents in the country.
“We call for the immediate establishment of
National emergency ambulance service for
quick rescue and resuscitation of emergencies
from our roads, provision of low tariff buses
and rehabilitation of our railway system.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/nma-backs-fg-deregulation-oil-sector/
PoliticsFirst Chibok Girl Rescued, Six Reported Dead by simongonner(op): 3:47pm On May 18, 2016
A mina Ali Mkeki, one of the Chibok girls
infamously kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014
has been rescued near Sambisa Forest,
government sources and activists have told
SaharaReporters.
Amina was found in the Kulakeita area in the
company of her Boko Haram husband, and
was immediately rescued by vigilantes who
handed her over to Nigerian troops in
Damboa.
She reportedly told the soldiers that six of the
girls have died, while the others have been
married off to Boko Haram commanders, and
that they were all still in Sambisa Forest as of
the time of her rescue.
Our sources say Amina was breastfeeding a
baby during her rescue, but it was not
immediately clear if the Boko Haram
commander caught with her was the father of
the baby.
Confirming the development, the Nigerian
military said in a text message by Col. SK
Usman to SaharaReporters that "Falmata
Mbalala" was rescued by Nigerian troops.
SaharaReporters has confirmed that Amina is
from Mbalala community, near Chibok.
The rescued girls is currently in transit on her
way to Maiduguri the Borno state capital
where the state governor is expected to receive
her from Nigerian troops. http://saharareporters.com/2016/05/18/first-chibok-girl-rescued-six-reported-dead
PoliticsNigeria Workers In The Northwest Zone Ignore NLC Strike by simongonner(op): 2:14pm On May 18, 2016
Public and private sector workers in five states
of the North West on Wednesday defied the
nationwide strike action ordered by the Ayuba
Waba faction of the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC) over fuel price increase. Federal and
state workers in Katsina, Kano, Kaduna,
Sokoto, and Kebbi have reported to their duty
posts in defiance of the order. Reports from
the five states indicated that socio-economic
activities were also going on, with schools,
banks, markets, hospitals and other
businesses fully opened.
In Sokoto, some civil servants said they would
not join the strike because it would only
aggravate current hardships in the country.
“Such strikes would only aggravate our
situation; the NLC should have given the
Federal Government the benefit of the doubt,”
Aliyu Musa, a worker at the Shehu Kangiwa
Secretariat, said.
Mr Mathias Iliya, a federal worker said “no
worker in his right senses will join the strike
action.
“Nigerians should be fervently prayerful and
patient with the Buhari administration as his
intentions towards Nigerians are truly
sincere.”
Mr El-Mustapha Sani, the Police spokesman in
the state, said all Area and Divisional
Commands had been put on red alert.
“The command had also made arrangements
to fully patrol the state to protect lives, public
and private property,” Sani said.
In Kaduna, civil servants and all businesses
including motor parks were fully opened, with
residents going about their normal business.
At the Kaduna State University, normal
academic activity was going on with students
taking lectures.
Workers of the institution have also fully
turned out for work, and according to the
university’s Public Relations Officer, Adama
Jafar, there was no directive from any union
to proceed on strike.
At the Olusegun Obasanjo State Secretariat,
some of the workers interviewed said that they
were not convinced with the NLC’s argument
for the strike.
One of the workers, Hajiya Lami Bello said
that the NLC should respect the decision of
the National Industrial Court, which ordered
the union not to proceed with the strike.
Another worker, Karim Ahmed said most civil
servants were conscious not to fall into the
trap of ‘no work, no pay’ as announced by the
government.
On her part, Sarah Bijimi urged the NLC and
Nigerians to be patient and support the
Federal Government’s action, saying “with
time things will get better.”
At the Barau Dikko General Hospital, health
workers including doctors, nurses, laboratory
staff were seen attending to out-patients and
those on admission.
Jonathan Yohanna, a staff of the state
Ministry of Health, said “we are not on strike,
all our hospitals are functional and our
officials are working.”
The State Command of Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps, said it had deployed 600
personnel to guard strategic public
installations in the state.
Mr Orndiir Tergungwe, the command’s
spokesman said the move was to avoid
breakdown of law and order during the period
of the strike.
‘We advise the residents to be law abiding and
go about their normal business. We reassure
the residents that their security will be
guaranteed.”
A check at the Kaduna Central market
indicated that traders have turned out for full
business.
Yusuf Bala, a rice dealer, said: “we don’t have
confidence in NLC because at the end of every
strike we don’t benefit from any relief.”
Maman Kobo, a Provision seller, advised the
labour union to “sit down and dialogue with
the government rather than embark on strike.”
Reports from Kebbi indicated that civil
servants had also defied the NLC’s call for
total strike action.
NAN reports that government offices, markets,
banks and business centres have opened for
normal business while civil servants have
reported to their places of work as early as
8:00 am.
The Chairman of the state NLC, Murtala
Usman, told NAN in a telephone interview that
he was on his way to Birnin Kebbi from Abuja,
and insisted that the strike would hold.
According to him, the NLC will assemble
workers by 10:00 am at the Labour House
before embarking on the strike.
The State Secretary of Birnin Kebbi Federal
Medical Centre of National Association of
Nurses and Midwives, Usman Mohammed, said
they had not received any signal to embark on
the strike.
“We are waiting for the signal from the
national secretariat of our association and
until we receive the signal we will not embark
on the strike”, he added.
A cross section of workers and residents
indicated they were not satisfied with the
reasons advanced by the NLC to embark on
the strike.
In Kano, the nationwide strike action called by
the organised labour has also met a setback,
as workers in the state ignored the directive.
According to a NAN correspondent who
monitored the situation, state and federal
government workers had all reported to their
various places of work.
Also at the Audu Bako Secretariat, and Federal
Government Secretariat at about 8:30 am,
workers were seen in their respective offices
while others were seen within the premises in
groups discussing the strike.
Similarly, all commercial banks, markets and
motor parks had all opened for business in the
state.
As at the time of filing the report, traders at
the two major markets in Sabon Gari and
Kantin Kwari had opened their shops for
business as directed by the National President
of the Harmonised Traders Union of Nigeria,
Alhaji Bature Abdulaziz.
Abdulaziz had on Monday called on traders
across the country to ignore the planned
strike by the labour unions.
At the First Bank of Nigeria, Kano main
branch, workers were also seen going about
their normal schedules.
One of the staff of the Bank, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, described the strike as
unnecessary, adding that majority of Nigerians
were not in support of it.
“This strike is a failure as most Nigerians are
not in support of it”, he said.
NAN also reports that primary and secondary
schools as well as other higher institutions in
the state had opened.
However, in Bayero University Kano, some
lecturers had joined the strike while others
were working.
In Katsina, workers at the State and Federal
Secretariats have reported to their duty posts.
Jibrin Garkuwo, a middle-level worker, said
that they decided not to join the strike
because Katsina was the home state of
President Buhari.
He said that they are ready to support the
president to achieve his economic policies
that will move the country forward.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of NLC in the state,
Alhaji Lawal Sandawa, said the union would
assess the situation before commenting on
the strike. http://saharareporters.com/2016/05/18/nigeria-workers-northwest-zone-ignore-nlc-strike
