At this rate, I am just waiting for sahara to expose the EFCC Chairman... but as for Buratai.. nothing will happen to him

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Mr. Boss Gida Mustapha, as the new Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority.

Director (Press and Public Relations) in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Bolaji Adebiyi, said this in a statement issued on Thursday evening.

He said the appointment of Mustapha, “a lawyer with extensive experience in both private and public sectors in management positions”, is for a term of four years in the first instance.

Kenai:
As in!

Libyans. YAMS. Zombies. Dullards. Agents of WAEC Certificate Forgery. Stark Illiterates. NEPA Bill Intellectuals. APC Butt-Lickers.
Na dem sabi pass. #Sarcasm.

I can now see that, in the absence of a superior argument or logic, APC Zombies and their merry-band of gullible serfs and programmed robots will resort to hackneyed labels and worn-out cliches whenever they're faced with the spine-chilling reality of their hero's utter worthlessness to humanity.

Guy, let's bet - The next line of defence those zombies will adopt will be looking for old posts on the corruption in Wall Street, Manhattan, COMPLETELY oblivious to the fact that The Wall Street Journal (a print media division of Rupert Murdoch's FOX/NewsCorp) is totally different from "Wall Street" (The New York Stock Exchange).

Now I'm so thankful that Buhari actually won; because if he hadn't, many of his butt-lickers would have been pestering us with things like "If only Buhari had won that election, things would have been better by now, kwarrapt people would have been jailed, electricity would have been 90 billion megawatts!"

But today, he has been given the benefit of doubt, and the whole world has come to see him for the empty dunce he is.
ZERO MEGAWATTS, DOUBLE DIGIT INFLATION, HEALTH TOURISM.
The universe has confirmed he's a m00ron.

So, instead of making utter buffoons of themselves on the internet, his supporters should join Indiana Jones, Lara Croft and Dora The Explorer, in the search for Buhari's certificate.

Presidency lied, no Lagos-Calabar Rail project in 2016 budget — NASS

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/presidency-lied-no-lagos-calabar-rail-project-2016-budget-nass/

Guess I was right after all...
Abdulmumin Jibrin…Member House of Reps & Chairman House Committee on Appropriation, public finance Tweets as follows:

● Lagos-Calabar Railway line was NEVER captured in the budget that was sent by the Executive. How then could it have been removed by NASS?

● I actually find it shocking that even some National Dailies made the removal their headlines. A little research would would have helped.

● All they, and those spreading the false information needed to have done is check the initial document sent by the Executive.

● Lagos-Calabar Rail was never included. How could NASS have removed what was not there? But the nation is being misled.

● The NASS has always been on the receiving end of bad press. This is being capitalised on in the conversations on #Budget2016

● This is unfortunate as it is quite clear to all and sundry that #Budget2016 and all its headaches and controversies didn’t emanate from NASS

● Take the budget of the ministry of Transportation was overshot by N54b. That is, by the time you add up the items on the ministry’s budget…

● …you’d still have a gap of N54b. N54billion lying there without being allocated. NASS has a responsibility and here it did the right thing

● What NASS did with the N54billion; We added N39.7b to the Lagos-Kano Rail project. This will help complete the project once and for all.

● We also allocated N10b of this sum to the airports’ navigation and security apparatus.

But are they allowed to edit and redo the budget?? i thought their work was to remove unnecessary projects or rather reduce the amount on projects with bogus amounts......

tuale4u:
they use dem to pad constituency projects

So I see many writing about the return of the budget and are blaming the NASS.. to me it does not ADD up...

On the 23 of March, the senate returned the budget... N17Billion less...from the initial N6.077trn presented to the federal parliament by President Muhammadu Buhari on December 23, 2015, to N6.060trn, a difference of N17bn..

So, how come a project worth 60Billion naira was scraped and its not reflected on the budget where did the N43B go to?? it just does not add up...

Not just that, more projects were also allegedly omitted.. probably to the sum of 20 more billion naira.. why isnt that reflected on the budget..

Given that the senate are not allowed to reshuffle the budget, how come the difference is not 97Billion naira

My thoughts are these projects were not in the budget to begin with..
Infact, I am confused!!!

Wait.... I thought the senate only reduced the budget by 17B naira.?? where is 68.7Billlion naira and others figures coming from?

The guy famous ooo.. only am, CNN, Foxnews, india channel.. and the same pose... smh

“We were happy to lose money for a few years while we developed the business and opened new stores,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Mark said in an interview. “The straw that broke the camel’s back was not being able to get stock into Nigeria. You can’t have a clothes shop with no clothes. With all the other things, it just wasn’t worth it. It was impossible to do business.”[/size][size=8pt][color=#000099][/color]

The promise of Africa’s biggest economy has turned to peril.

Companies drawn to Nigeria by the prospect of a population bigger than Germany and Turkey’s combined are retreating; those staying have publicly criticized the president, a military strongman in the 1980s who came back to power via an election last year; and foreign investors are pulling their money out.

The corporate tribulations that began with a slide in oil prices and accelerated after the imposition of capital controls are also entangled in a global emerging-market slump. In propping up the naira in a futile bid to contain inflation, officials have jacked up pressure on an economy running out of cash, deepening a black market in currency trading and causing shortages of imported goods from fuel to milk. U.S. officials said they will press their Nigerian counterparts to change tack during talks in Washington this week.

“Our clients, Fortune 500 and other multinationals, are all quite concerned by the state Nigeria finds itself in,” said Alexa Lion, a senior analyst at Washington-based Frontier Strategy Group, which advises companies looking at developing nations. “Sentiment has worsened. There’s a lot of anxiety.”

Frustration too.

After four years trying to gain traction, Truworths International Ltd., a South African clothing retailer, last month gave up. It closed its last two outlets in Nigeria, in the southeastern cities of Enugu and Warri. Willing to tolerate dilapidated infrastructure, complicated red tape and expensive rent, the company said the import and foreign-exchange restrictions caused it to throw in the towel.
‘Impossible’

“We were happy to lose money for a few years while we developed the business and opened new stores,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Mark said in an interview. “The straw that broke the camel’s back was not being able to get stock into Nigeria. You can’t have a clothes shop with no clothes. With all the other things, it just wasn’t worth it. It was impossible to do business.”

Nigeria’s appeal has faded as the price of oil, source of 90 percent of export earnings, has crashed. Growth slumped to 2.8 percent last year, the slowest since 1999, and will decelerate to 2 percent in 2016, according to Morgan Stanley. In dollar terms, the economy in 2019 will still be 17 percent smaller than its 2014 peak of $542 billion. Only two years ago, McKinsey & Co. said Nigeria had the potential to grow 7.1 percent annually until 2030 and build a $1.6 trillion economy.

As Nigeria lags, other countries in sub-Saharan Africa have gotten more appealing. Last month, Nigeria fell from first to fourth, behind Ivory Coast, Kenya and Tanzania, in a ranking of business prospects by the research unit of Nielsen Holdings Plc.

Portfolio investors including Aberdeen Asset Management Plc and Ashmore Group Plc, which together oversee about $450 billion of assets, have retreated from Nigerian markets. The main stock index is down 10 percent this year, while the MSCI Frontier Markets Index has lost 2.8 percent. Nigeria’s local-currency bonds are the only ones among 31 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg to have generated aloss this year. Foreign direct investment this year is set to be the lowest since the 2008-09 global financial crisis, according to data from the central bank.

For now, President Muhammadu Buhari and Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele say they aren’t budging from their strong-naira policy. While both acknowledge that businesses are struggling to source enough dollars, Buhari says that a devaluation and easing of capital controls would be akin to “murdering” the naira and send prices up. That’s already happening as manufacturers struggle to buy foreign inputs, with inflation accelerating to a three-year high of 11.4 percent in February.

Markets are betting Nigeria will be forced to follow oil exporters from Russia to Kazakhstan and Mexico and let the currency weaken. While the naira has been all but pegged at 197-199 per dollar since March 2015, forward prices suggest it will drop 29 percent to 280 in a year. The black market rate has weakened to 320.

Bruno Witvoet, the Africa President of Unilever, whose Nigerian subsidiary has seen its shares plunge 31 percent since Buhari came to power, said it would be “very insane” for the country to persist with the currency policies. Nestle SA says its local unit, which has fallen 18 percent in that period, has had to widen the number of banks it uses so that it can access enough foreign exchange.

Not all companies are gloomy. In January, Coca-Cola Co. agreed to pay about $240 million for a 40 percent stake in Chi Ltd., which is based in Lagos, and makes fruit juice and dairy products. Boston Consulting Group this month opened its first office in Nigeria.

“It’s an immense market,” said Geoffrey White, CEO for Africa at Kuwait-based Agility Public Warehousing Co K.S.C., which plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars building four warehouse and logistics parks in Lagos and the capital Abuja by 2020. “You can’t really have an African policy without having Nigeria high up on the list.”

For Frontier Strategy Group’s Lion, Nigeria is too important for foreign companies to exit en masse.

“But a lot will depend on what happens with the currency,” she said. “For now, the opportunity cost of not being there is too high. That could change if the currency situations worsens. It’s definitely a pivotal time.”
