From right: Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama and Dean of Diplomatic Corps and Cameroon High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Salaheddine Abbas Ibrahima during a dinner for Africa-Nordic Ministers of Foreign Affairs at the State House in Abuja on Saturday.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo will tomorrow sign the 2017 budget into law barring last minute change of decision, Daily Trust has learnt.

A source familiar with the matter told our reporter that the budget signing was initially slated for today, but postponed to tomorrow due to undisclosed engagement by the acting president.

The budget, it was further gathered, would be signed at an event to be attended by all relevant stakeholders, including the leaders of the National Assembly and chairmen of committees such as appropriation, finance, legislative budget and research, among others.

The event, Daily Trust learnt, would take place at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja by 3.pm.

“All grey areas have been sorted and the budget is ready for signing into law any time soon,” Timothy Golu, a member of the House of Representatives, who chairs committee on legislative budget and research told Daily Trust last night.

The National Assembly had on May 9 passed the budget estimates submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari last December.

The approved budget was transmitted to the Presidency on May 19. Since then, the Executive has been examining the documents.

Speaker Yakubu Dogara had on Friday said the budget would be signed into law early this week.

“On issue of budget, we kept our promise to Nigerians at the beginning of the legislative session to ensure transparent deliberation and passage of the 2017 Appropriations Bill, which will be signed into law early next week,” Dogara said.

The federal legislature jerked up the 2017 budget by N143 billion, from the N7.298 trillion proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari to N7.441trillion. 

The sum of N2.174 trillion was for contribution to the Development Fund for capital expenditure; N434.412bn for Statutory Transfers; N1.841 trillion for debt service; N177.460bn for Sinking Fund for maturing bonds, while the sum of N2.990 trillion is for recurrent (non-debt)  expenditure.

Similarly, the sum of N20bn was added to the budget by the lawmakers for the second runway at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.

The Federal Government has approved the closure of five foreign missions and embassies, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama said.
Mr. Onyeama told journalists in Abuja on Thursday that the process for closure was underway and was also subject to the approval of the president.
He did not name the affected embassies or missions.
“We do not want to indicate the embassies that will be closed yet because we are in the process of submitting the proposals, the cost analysis and also the political analysis we did to the president.
“When he sees that, he may or may not want to close some, so we have not yet reached the stage of closing some,” he said.
The minister said closing missions abroad was “extremely expensive”.
“The expense, costs of closing embassies is so high and prohibitive but in the long run it will more economical.”
The minister, on April 10, told NAN the closure of Nigerian missions abroad is inevitable.


Mr. Onyeama said the reduction of Nigeria’s foreign missions remains on the agenda of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Mr. Buhari had said at the inception of his administration that the Federal Government would reduce the number of missions to save cost.
Nigeria currently has 119 foreign missions.
Mr. Onyeama said: “The government is following up on that and we have sort of pre­pared the roadmap; we have started the implementation of that and made also recom­mendations in that context.
“Paradoxically, closing missions is extremely expensive. At first sight it seems ob­vious that you close it you are saving cost but you will actually find that the cost of closing is almost prohibitive.
“But in the long run it will be cheaper, but in the imme­diate and short term it is ex­pensive but we have started the process,” he said.(NAN)

INEC promises improved elections in Kogi, Bayelsa
INEC promises improved elections in Kogi, Bayelsa
JULY 23, 2015 : NAN LEAVE A COMMENT
   
 

The Independent National Electoral Commission said it would display its improved election processes in the upcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa.

This is contained in the commission’s bulletin issued on Thursday in Abuja.

The bulletin said the acting Chairman of INEC, Hajiya Amina Zakari, stated this at the public presentation of the Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room report on the 2015 general elections, in Abuja.

Zakari said the commission would apply lessons learnt from previous elections in raising the bar during the Kogi and Bayelsa polls.

“In conducting elections in both states, the commission will apply lessons learnt from the previous elections beginning with the stand-alone governorship elections in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun states, and the general elections,” she said.

She said INEC would also carry out Continuous Voter Registration exercise in both states.

She also said registered voters would get their Permanent Voters Cards while provision would be made for voters’ transfers in the states.

The INEC boss called for continued support from development partners and civil society organisations towards improving the country’s electoral process.

“INEC in partnership with key stakeholders in the political parties, security and civil organizations, will strive to ensure that both elections in Kogi and Bayelsa are transparent and well run,” she said.

She warned against electoral malpractice in both states and said that INEC would continue to drive transparency and effectiveness in the country’s electoral processes.

“Any INEC official found wanting at the tribunals will be punished to the full extent of the law,” she added.

Zakari disclosed that the commission’s transitional plans were needed to lay foundation for the future.

smankerana:
@Moyin, its true ciz l live in Jos. I was discussing with a ranking officer in that Organisation you mentioned and he was appalled at how poor our pay is. He mentioned that, unlike his Organisation, our problem is the lack of a union that can stand and fight doggedly for INEC staff. When they started agitating for a new salary scale, their Union did all the necessary work including the dirty work with the Senate committee overseeing their Parastatal. I dont know why there isnt unionism in the Commision....but it could be because our superiors have their way of taking care of themselve.

Lightheartedly, l was told that the former Chairman has presented some far reaching recommendations the PMB about staff welfare....but l only heard with one ear oo..
what you heard is true PMB is much aware our needs.

Issue PVCs to all eligible Nigerians – Jonathan orders INECBy Olawale Kadir on January 7, 2015 @ 4:06 pm@todayngr TweetPin It Nigeria's Largest Newspaper Directory President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to ensure all registered eligible Nigerians get their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) before the general elections next month. Jonathan gave the order on Wednesday while swearing in the new INEC Commissioner representing Oyo State, Prof. Akinola Murtala Salawu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, adding that it is unacceptable for any eligible Nigerian not to vote in the elections next month because of inability to get their PVCs. He said: “I believe Prof. Jega will even want to double the number of staff if he has the resources to make sure that they can cope. Nigerians are getting worried if INEC can actually conduct the elections. “Talking about the PVCs, even some governors are complaining that they are yet to get their PVCs. If governors are yet to get their voters cards of course that means that so many Nigerians are yet to get and people are a bit worried.” “So the chairman of INEC luckily you are here, all Nigerians must get voters cards, we cannot conduct an election where some people will not have the rights to vote.” “People must decide who rules them at all levels not just about presidential elections, at the lowest level of elections conducted by INEC, the state assembly elections, House of Representatives, Senate and Presidency. All Nigerians must vote and INEC must do everything possible to make sure that all Nigerians have their voters’ card because we cannot have a situation where some Nigerians will not vote that day. So Prof. Salau and Prof. Jega I wish you success.”

TOLUKEMLIZZY:
THIS FROM OUR HON CHAIRMAN:The INEC chairman said the commission was working hard to see that the salaries and wages of staff members of the commission were improved and made commensurate with the “special“ and “risky“ nature of their jobs.

“Since we came in as a new commission, we have done our best to improve the welfare of our workers.

“The only thing we have not been able to do is to increase their salaries; and that one is difficult because salary and wage review is normally done at a higher systemic level.

“But we have been pushing and dialoging with government, trying to argue that INEC staff members discharge special, risky responsibilities and therefore deserve special salary scale.

“And we are doing our best; our hope is that sooner or later we will be able to have a separate salary structure for the staff members of the commission.

“But even before we are able to get that we have been doing everything possible to improve their welfare and their conditions of work.’’
with this information oga @ the top he brought our hope alive and dash away our hope.....

For years now The Nigeria government has promised a corrupt free INEC, but the most unfortunate part of their promise is the corruption among top inec staff on their junior staff in form of denying them basic allowances and entitlements like on filed pay. a case at hand is the just concluded CVR exercise which after 6days of 8am -4pm officially but most working to as far as 9pm because of pressure to get everyone registered the staff are paid 6000 as allowance...most at time LGA office have to seek assistance from politicians for logistics like transportation, fueling of generators and even extra assistance
Inec is already of the habit of paying its staff just basic salary with no other incentives like housing, transport, and medical allowance while its top directors enjoy all the goodies.
While the commission promises free and fair election INEC continued to expose its staff mostly the junior one who actually do the on field job to temptations,until the basics are addressed it will be right say free and fair election is an illusion created by INEC its top directors and stake holders
