PoliticsJonathan Signs N4.425tn 2015 Budget by Whizzcute(op): 11:31am On May 19, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan has signed the 2015
Appropriation Bill into law, THE PUNCH has
authoritatively learnt.

Investigation by our correspondent on Monday
revealed that Jonathan decided to sign the budget
into law a couple of days back without fanfare.
As of the time of filing this report, it could not be
confirmed why the President had kept the
development away from public knowledge.

The Senate had passed the 2015 budget on April
28, following the passage of the same bill by the
House of Representatives on April 23, with an
expenditure outlay of N4.493tn, up from the
N4.425tn proposed by the Executive.

There have been concerns among Nigerians on
whether Jonathan will sign the budget before May
29 when he will formally hand over to Muhammadu
Buhari or he will leave it behind for the incoming
administration which is believed may still prepare a
supplementary budget.

But a Presidency source told our correspondent
that the President signed the budget about two
weeks ago immediately after the document passed
by the National Assembly was transmitted to him.
The source, however, said he did not know why
the President chose to sign the document without
making it public.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati,
also confirmed that Jonathan had signed the
budget.

Although he also did not give any reason why the
signing was not made public, Abati said the
President signed the document “some weeks
back.”

The Senate, in passing the budget, slightly reduced
the N2.607,601, 000,300 proposed by the
Executive to N2.607,132,491,708 as recurrent
expenditure and simultaneously scaled down the
capital expenditure from N642,848,999,699
estimated in the proposal to N556,995,465,449.

The Chairman, Joint Senate Committee on
Appropriation and Finance, Mohammed Maccido,
explained that the details of the figure approved by
the Senate in the document were not different from
the version passed by the House of
Representatives.

He added that the budget would be driven by $53
oil benchmark, an exchange rate of N190 to one
US dollar; 2.2782m per barrel crude oil production
per day; and a deficit gross domestic product of
-1.12 per cent.

The budget also put fiscal deficit at N1.075tn;
N953bn for debt service; N375.6bn as statutory
transfers.
Education takes the lion’s share of the budget with
N392.3bn; followed by the military which gets
N338.7bn while police commands and formations
will receive N303.8bn.

In the same vein, N237bn was voted for the health
sector; N153bn for the Ministry of Interior while
N25.1bn was budgeted for the Ministry of Works.
Jonathan and successive heads of government
had been signing the fiscal document in the full
glare of media representatives and some members
of the public, including the leadership of the
National Assembly except for the period when the
late President Umaru Yar’Adua was sick and
members of his kitchen cabinet claimed that he
signed the budget on his sick bed abroad.

The situation however changed in 2013 when a
bad blood between the executive and the
legislature over their differences on the budget
forced Jonathan to sign the document in secret.
That year, Abati only issued a statement
announcing that Jonathan had signed the bill into
law.

Also last year, Jonathan signed the 2014 budget in
secret and handed it over to the Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and the
Director, Budget Office, Dr. Bright Okogu, for
implementation, two days after he signed it.
Abati had explained then that Okonjo-Iweala was
not around when the President signed the budget,
hence the need to formally it hand over to her.

“The President actually signed the 2014 Budget
two days ago. But you know that the Minister of
Finance was not in town. So he needed to hand
over to her and the Director Budget for onward
transmission. That was what he did today. The
ministry will be addressing the press in the next
one hour,” Abati had said.

EducationLagos School Where Pupils Share Classrooms With Animals by Whizzcute(op): 10:13am On May 19, 2015
If you are a regular user of the Ijora flyover bridge,
you may have consciously or otherwise noticed a
perimeter fencing with two gates shielding two
primary schools, a junior high school and an
abandoned health centre with ugly shanties erected
around the perimeter fencing. The schools are Banjo
Primary School, Ebenezer Primary School and Ogbo
Junior High School, all in the swampy Otumara
community, Ebute Metta West, Lagos State.

Located in an unfriendly and inhabitable environment,
students of these schools are exposed to various
dangers, including diseases and attacks from street
urchins and animals . The schools which are near
Brickfield Street, Apapa have a minimum of 500
students each. The sorry state of these schools,
particularly Banjo Primary School, however, demands
urgent attention from relevant authorities.

Until recently, when a non-governmental organisation
offered a helping hand by erecting the perimeter
fencing which was estimated at about N2 million,
students of these schools were unintentionally mixing
freely with street urchins and domestic animals that
have made the schools their abode.

Apart from that, uncleared refuse dumps and weeds
competed for space in the schools premises. Same
applies to the abandoned, vandalized health centre
where street urchins usually pitch their tent
irrespective of government presence.

Banjo Primary School has only six teachers attending
to over 500 pupils. The teachers are supported by a
head teacher and an assistant head teacher to carry
out academic duties. This is apart from the fact that
the school is made up of only six classrooms which
are in advanced state dilapidation. An resident who
pleaded anonymity told Vanguard Metro, VM, that
some of the pupils have been raped due by
undesirable elements that usually hang around,
although none of the victims has spoken out.

To make matters worse, some parents said that
during the rainy season, the premises are usually
flooded. VM gathered that Senator Remi Tinubu
offered to donate three classrooms through a
contractor who did not complete the project. This was
also the case with the four-year-old dilapidated six
classrooms building which was said to have been
badly constructed. VM was informed when the former
head teacher called the attention of the contractor to
the shoddy job, the contractor had threatened to deal
with her.

As at the time of filing this report, some worried
parents are appealing to all relevant authorities to
come to the aid of the school as there are very strong
indications that it might cave in any moment and
endanger the lives of the innocent pupils. One of the
parents, 50-year-old Mrs Basirat Abdukareem, said
several complaints have been expressed over the
matter in the past but nothing has been done so far in
response. ‘’We shall not stop calling on government
until our prayers are answered,” she said.

Another parent, Mr Olokunola Adisa, said he was
planning to relocate to another area due to the poor
condition of the school. ‘’The classroom block can
collapse any moment. So, I am planning to relocate
my children but this is difficult because that is the
only school around here. We want the government to
intervene because no one knows what these children
can become tomorrow,” he said.

PoliticsBuhari To Drop Title Of 'GENERAL' On May 29th by Whizzcute(op): 8:01am On May 18, 2015
With effect from May 29, 2015, the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, will drop the title “general”
from his name.

The retired Army general, has chosen to be
addressed as President, Commander-in-Chief of
the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement signed by the
Director of Media and Publicity of the All
Progressives Congress Presidential Council,
Mallam Garba Shehu, in Abuja, on Sunday.

The statement read, “As from May 29, 2015, the
President-elect and Vice President- elect are to be
respectively known and addressed as
Muhammadu Buhari, President, Commander-in-
Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of
Nigeria and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Vice
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The media team also unveiled the official portraits
of the incoming President and Vice President.
Buhari is the second retired army general to drop
general from their names on assumption of office
as President.

The first was General Olusegun Obasanjo who
exchanged the title with Chief, on assumption of
office as civilian President in 1999.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also opted
to drop “Alhaji” from his name during his time as
Nigeria’s Vice President.

FamilyMy Husband Beats Me As If We Are In Boxing Competition - Woman Tells Lagos Court by Whizzcute(op): 5:18pm On May 15, 2015
A trader, Fatimo Nurudeen, on Friday pleaded with an
Agege Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve her
12-year-old marriage for alleged frequent beating and
fetish practice by her husband.

Fatimo, 31, who lives at 32, Akiode St., Ibafo, Ogun,
told the court that her husband beats her frequently.
“I don’t think my husband is normal because he beats
me as if we are in a boxing competition.

“Also, he brought home a substance suspected to be
fetish in nature and put it in our room. I was afraid of
it, and my children and myself had to run for our dear
lives from our matrimonial home.

“My husband drinks to stupor and smokes Indian
hemp, after which he usually loses self control.
“I do not love him anymore, I want a dissolution of our
marriage ,” the mother of two children; ages seven
years and ten years said.

Fatimo also told the court that she had been the one
responsible for the upkeep of her children before and
after she had packed out of her husband’s house
three years’ ago.

“I want the custody of my children but I want him to be
responsible for their monthly upkeep,” she said.
The husband, Ayomide Yakubu, 35, a welder by
occupation, failed to appear in court.

The President, Mr Phillips Williams, told the woman to
maintain the peace and ordered the court registrar to
serve Yakubu another court summons.
Williams adjourned the case to June 1 for further
hearing.(NAN)
