Not a shred of protein in that watery concoction called soup.
And billions have been wasted across the country in the name of school feeding program.

May events and food kpai all of una there. Black man and his stomach first before his freedom. Just give him food and let him dance and his ambition is fulfilled.

Hours after Daniel Bwala declared himself as the official spokesman of President Bola Tinubu, the presidency has adjusted his role.

At his first briefing in the State House, Presidential Villa, Abuja, Bwala told journalists he is the president’s official spokesman.

A few hours later, Special Adviser Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, released a statement tweaking Bwala’s role.

Part of the statement read: “President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.

“The restructuring is as follows: Mr. Sunday Dare – hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

“Mr. Daniel Bwala announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, and is now Special Adviser Policy Communication.

“These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.

“Instead, all the three Special Advisers will collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.”

Recall that in September, Ajuri Ngelale stepped down as the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity.

The police on Saturday said a policeman who was reported murdered on the first day of the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests has “miraculously survived”.

“Nine (9) police officers sustained various degrees of injuries during attacks by protesters.

“One of them who initially was reported dead miraculously survived but remains in critical condition,” Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said in a statement on Saturday.

Adejobi also said a total of 681 suspects have been arrested so far for various violent crimes during the protests. The suspects were arrested in Abuja, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Nasarawa, and Sokoto.

At a briefing on Thursday, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, had said a policeman was murdered while on duty during the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests.

He had lamented that events in major cities on Thursday were “mass uprising and looting, not protests”.

“In places like FCT, Kaduna, Kano and Gombe, among others, we recorded incidents of unprovoked attacks on our security personnel where one policeman has been reported murdered and others seriously injured.

“In light of the current situation, the Nigeria Police Force has placed all units on red alert. Our officers are fully mobilised and prepared to respond swiftly and decisively to public safety and order,” the IGP had said.

Activist Deji Adeyanju had on the same day challenged the IGP to name the policeman he claimed was killed. He had said it was not true that a cop was killed.

The #EndBadGovernance protests against economic hardship scheduled for 10 days entered its third day on Saturday as resilient youths pushed on, insisting that President Bola Tinubu meet their demands.

Some of the protesters’ demands include the restoration of petrol subsidies and the forex regime. They also want the government to address food shortages, unemployment and wasteful spending by those in power. Other demands are a reduction of the President’s cabinet and general cost of governance, immediate reforms of the electoral umpire INEC and anti-graft agency EFCC with renewed vigour in the fight against corrupt politicians.

The protests turned awry in Kano, Borno, Yobe, Kaduna, Jigawa, Nasarawa and other states where rampaging hoodlums took advantage of the situation and burned vehicles, and looted warehouses and private stores.

Till Day 3, policemen were seen dispersing protesters using tear gas, even as civil society organisations condemned the action of the police.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has debunked news alleging that its officers were involved in the killing of a teenager during the ongoing protest in Abuja.

The spokesperson of the FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement on Saturday, however, said that the Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh has ordered an immediate enquiry into the remote cause of the teenager’s death.

“In response to the video footage making the rounds alleging the killing of a yet-to-be identified teenager by police operatives in Kubwa by Zenith Bank while protesting on August 3rd, 2024, the FCT police command thereby debunks the allegations, stating that its operatives are not responsible for the killing of the teenager, as the operatives deployed to the axis were NOT issued lethal arms but only with anti-riot equipment not capable of occasioning the death of the teenager,” Adeh wrote on X.

“Also, the command is aware of the antics of mischief makers who may want to exploit the current situation in the country to spread false information with the aim at misleading and causing apprehension in the populace; it therefore calls on residents to shun such misinformation, as the command is committed to ensuring the security and safety of all and sundry"

Zulum, giving farmers fertiliser to farm, only for them to go to farm and be killed by bandits is pointless.



Zulum, what of security?



Are you serious?

I am curious to know, Is it the same underaged children PDP accused APC of using to win election?
