A petition signed by Barrister Edward Shikzum, the National Director for legal services for Transparency for National Development (TND), a Non-Governmental Agency based in Abuja, has accused the Managing Director of Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agriculture Lending (NIRSAL), Aliyu Abbati AbdulHameed of running the affairs of the agency like a personal business by his constant violation of presidential executive orders.

This was made known in the document tendered by the Abuja based NGO requesting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Anti-Graft agencies to beam their searchlight on the stewardship of the NIRSAL boss whom they described as “…unfit for trust to pilot the affairs of such an important organ of Government going by his leadership antecedents at the organization”.

It was alleged that AbdulHameed Aliyu had on several occasions flown on first-class tickets while carrying out official assignments, a practice in contradiction of the executive directive of President Buhari to public servants which has...

We are not into politics at all. We are just saying what other people are afraid to say
– Eazy-E

One thing is certain and that is the 2023 gubernatorial elections that will take place in Delta State will be bloody.

Sadly enough, only the fools among them who allow themselves to be used as political thugs and slaves will go to the grave and still go to hell.

The state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa is new in his second term and the struggle to replace him is already ongoing.

Do these politicians not have conscience? Do they not think about the people they want to lead? Is to the grabbing of power all they sleep, dream and wake?

I hate to imagine Urhobos who should naturally sit calm and decide the affairs of Delta State as the majority group already campaigning for 2023 when the current governor is just beginning a new tenure in office.

Instead of campaigning, they should be helping Okowa to end well and...

The Governor of Katsina State Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari has scored a goal by being the first elected officer to give out appointment letter that is yet to be understood by the public.

In the letter with reference number SGKT/ADM/256/T/283 dated 3rd October 2019 and signed by the Secretary to the Government of the State, Mustapha Muhammed Inuwa, it was gathered that the Governor who earlier appointed thirteen (13) Special Assistants to occupy various portfolios, also appointed Ukashatu Suleiman as Special Assistant, Modern Singer.

An excerpt from the letter reads “I have the pleasure to convey the approval of His Excellency, the Governor of Katsina State, Rt Hon. Aminu Bello Masari, CFR for your appointment as Special Assistant, Modern Singers”.

The announcement of the appointment which raised a lot of dust as it has neither been existent in the State and Nigeria nor does it have any...

A Lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye has dragged the Nigerian Police to the National Assembly over murder and armed robbery charges preferred against him.

He has been detained at the Kuje Medium Prison for over eleven months. Emeka in petition written through Due Process Advocate International, dated October 9, and signed by Kelvin Asekome, said the police charged him with armed robbery and murder because he was on the verge of exposing a N5 billion (annual revenue) of illegal prison racketeering and other illegal operations allegedly by some police officers in Abuja.

DPA was founded by Barr. Emeka, which is an international human rights and humanitarian organization registered under the law of the State of Maryland, United States and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Petition reads, in part “On November 14, 2018, a police officer from the office of the Commissioner of Police, FCT Abuja Command, CP Bala Ciroma served on Barrister Emeka Ugwuonye (hereinafter “Emeka”) summons, charging him with armed robbery and murder, offenses the police knew that Emeka could no...t

Despite the fight against corruption and the efforts by many state governments to ensure that taxpayers money are judiciously used by presenting people-oriented budgets, the long-aged tradition of budget padding and the activities of most political officer holders has over the years undermined these efforts.

A clear case is the 2019 budget of Akwa Ibom State-approved by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 118 days after Governor Udom Emmanual stated during the budget presentation that new strategies such as expanding the revenue base of the state by eliminating wastage and leakages in expenditure would be adopted in the implementation of the budget.

Irrespective of its good intent, the Budget of Industrialisation for Poverty Alleviation as tagged by Mr Udom may actually be a divvy for political office holders especially members of the State House of Assembly as findings revealed that from the approved 2019 State budget of N672,98B in which a total of N11,966,310,580 (Eleven Billion, Nine Hundred and Sixty Six Million, Three Hundred and Ten Thousand, Five hundred and Eighty Naira) was earmarked for the...

Contrary to news making the rounds that the wife of the Delta State governor Dame Edith Okowa pocketed $10 million (about 3.5 billion Naira) through her baby agency the 05 initiative, SecretReporters can authoritatively report that though the President and CEO of the Initiative for Global Development, Leila Ndiaye stated that the organization through one of its members has offered to help computerize sickle cell patients records in Delta State, no monetary donation was made to Mrs Okowa’s pet project.

In an official reply to this online news medium, the Initiative for Global Development, a not-for-profit organization alleged to have made the First Lady of Delta State N3.5bn richer during an event organized on September 25, 2019, at the Nigerian Consulate in New York debunked the assertion stating that, “As clearly stated in her remarks, President Ndiaye announced that IGD, through one of its...

Prof. Yemi Osibanjo’s Silent “Plot” That May Cost Him His Job

The Agencies He Has Positioned To Help Him Grab Power Come 2023; And

Why Tinubu Ditched Osibanjo

Forget about the narratives flying that the cabal wants the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo out of the way to pave way for the North to retain power come 2023.

Much as the cabal has the notoriety of stirring disruptions in their inordinate ambition to hold on to power beyond 2023, the current ordeal of the Vice President is entirely about the ambition of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo that has seen him subtly plot strategies without the approval of his principal, LeadingReporters can authoritatively report.

While many hail the tradermoni initiative, the Vice President, according to our investigation leverages on the scheme to endear the electorates to himself ahead of 2023. A Discreet investigation carried out by LeadingReporters further revealed that the VP from the word go, has been subtly plotting around launching himself as the next Nigeria President.

How did he sail into the water that is about to consume him and why is his patron and longtime political godfather, Ahmed Tinubu ditching him when the Vice President needs him most?

These are the million-dollar questions, asking for answers. Firstly, the VP has strategically, and subtly positioned his cronies in all strategic government offices under his...

Fejiro Oliver The darkest place in hell are reserved for those who maintained their neutrality in times of moral crisis – Dante Alighieri If Senator Ovie Omo-Agege decides to run for Delta State governorship in the 2023 elections, the only force that can stop him is the force of God and the will of the people. I don’t see him running, for the stage he currently occupies has grown beyond Dennis Osadebey. He is like a volcanic acid that can’t be curtailed. The Warri blood in him makes him aim for the very best leaving the crumbs for others to scramble for. In all of these, he is never desperate, rather leaving everything to God, chance and political leadership. Like the King in the chessboard, he allows everyone go ahead first before moving in swag and style, losing little and conquering many. In conquest, he does not jubilate against the conquered and does not sneer at the politically wounded but retreat to his quiet moment and plot how to make them feel like it was a fair conquest. In doing this, he wins absolute loyalty and trust of them all. I have seen it time and time again and one incidence will suffice. When he appointed a South Western person as his Special Adviser on Media and another one as Special Assistant on Electronics and New Media from same tribe, I wasted no time in condemning it, not because they were wrong choices. I vented my anger because there are tens of Deltans fit for such position and even if there are none, his first list of appointment should come from Delta. I felt like the conquered one who gave my all against my political family for him but now spited as I watch the very tribe we both belong not getting their rightful place. Something was promised to be done in regards to the media section and what has never happened before was done and I felt like the conqueror (at least for that moment). That is the Omo-Agege political striker to you, fixing every piece of puzzles in their right places.

The wave of political appointment from him has swept both the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

One begin to wonder what his interest is by giving appointment to core PDP members who worked against him but never recognised by their own mother party. With his vacation in the United States of America, every state in South South have persons currently appointed under him.

In his words to me “Fejiro, this my position no be for only Urhobo or Delta o. Na for everyone wey dey South South”.

But he is human and in being so, he makes his mistakes.

He errs not because he wishes to. He errs not because he loves to.

He errs because he is flesh and blood, subjected to limited knowledge and surrounded by too many distractions.

He falters because those who should tell him the truth fear to do so due to what they seek from him.

I seek such from him too but morality binds me first to him, after all, that is what brought us close and has bonded us till date. Isn’t that what the quote above said?

The Agege I know should have called all the House of Assembly aspirants that contested and lost in the last general elections for a meeting and assured them of appointments, even if not tied to his office, but other Federal agencies.

Thankfully enough, he has a grip of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) with his...

Mr Charles Dokubo, born in Abonnema, Akuku Toru Local government of Rivers state with his level of education has allegedly turned the amnesty Program which he heads into a personal company as information on our news desk revealed that about 10 months ago, Mr Dokubo in his usual style of siphoning money using the award of contracts from the amnesty program awarded a jaw-dropping amount of N1.6 billion for the empowerment of 400 women in coastal fishing.

According to the document with reference number PRO/SAP&CAP/IRSL/2018/1848/C.2148, the contract was awarded on the 29th of November 2018 in the sum of N4,000,000.00 (Four Million Naira) per delegate to a Delta State-based company Innotek Royal Service Limited chaired by Evangelist Samson Fetimi (JP) who surprisingly was also the Chief Executive Officer of Glassfa Intercontinental Limited, a company which also acted as a vendor to the...

When one would have thought Amah Agbajoh will be seen playing his fatherly role of walking his daughter Onesirosan Agbajoh down the aisle following the pageantry and glamour of the event which held in California USA, the reverse was the case for the former chairman of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Warri South Local Government who has portrayed innate characteristics of an epitome of the biblical definition of an ‘infidel’ as his actions shows that clearly to him, family means little even with his supposed ill-gotten wealth as he is solely focused on staying relevant in Delta State politics.

Guests at the occasion were bewildered when his wife Barr Mary Oyibocha-Agbajoh whom he abandoned played his role by walking their daughter down the aisle.

Findings by SecretReporters revealed that the outdated politician whose libido became insatiable like a...

The month of September will go down secretly as the most promiscuous month that the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) has ever witnessed since its creation.

The month was the birthday of Mr Askia Ogieh, the Managing Director of the Commission. As various flights leave Warri on the birthday bash day, sources disclosed that over eighty percent of those on board were going to Lagos for Askia’s birthday party.

Our DESOPADEC insiders revealed that days before the birthday, a list was paddled around the office from table to table asking them to write their names to...

The International Press Centre (IPC), Lagos-Nigeria, has announced the reconstitution of its Governing Board, as the organisation prepares to mark the 20th anniversary of its establishment in October, 1999.

From very credible sources, Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa will soon fall apart with his political leader and former governor of Delta State, Mr James Onanefe Ibori, over what insiders described as a stage towards 2023 gubernatorial election.

Weeks of digging deep into the happenings of the Delta State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (DESOPADEC) and life of the Managing Director, Mr Askia Ogieh has revealed his plot and reason for manipulating his way through the board after his alleged visit to an Asian country known to be strong in Voodooism, before the shocking announcement of his name.

This plot is thickening barely three months after he was appointed to oversee the board from the previous number two position he held on the board from 2015 to 2019.

SecretReporters gathered that Askia told Papa E.K Clark on how DESOPADEC has been funding Western Delta University (WDU), Oghara, owned by Ibori and instigated him on why he should...

These are not the best of times for the once seeming bubbling Vice President of Africa’s oil-rich country, Mr Yemi Osibanjo, as the battle to consume him seem to have finally made him quit what he loves doing most, which is posting on social media platforms.

Mr Osibanjo who is deputy to Nigeria’s President, General Muhammadu Buhari has been in the news of recent with traditional media reporting on his possible resignation to pave way for a popular pastor and Buhari’s long-time confidant, Pastor Tunde Bakare, over yet to be disclosed offences.

Rolled down tinted glasses and waving of hands with heads protruding from the top of vehicles characterize the shenanigan of political actors during election campaigns, this however, transforms into blaring sirens and rolled up tinted glasses with countless number of security details harassing the very electorates who were instrumental to their victory while others go totally incommunicado as they lay down stringent and unreasonable conditions before access are granted them.

Honourable KufreAbasi Edidem is doubtless the perfect fit of the above expressions as information made available to SecretReporters showed that the lawmaker who represents Itu state constituency in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly in violation of his oath of allegiance which puts him under obligation to do good to all manner of people irrespective of advantage or disadvantage demands the presentation of...

There are indications according to sources that former Nigeria President, Mr Olusegun Obasanjo has gone to Dubai for political meetings.

We gathered from dependable sources that Mr Obasanjo left the soil of Nigeria on Tuesday via Emirate Airline through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The plane left around 6:15pm (Nigeria Time) and landed 5:30am (Dubai Time) with him seating in the business class. He was accompanied by just an aide who helped him with his luggage on arrival.

SecretReporters sources disclosed that he is in Dubai to have secret strategic meeting with his former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who was the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2019 general election, on how to upturn the judgment of the presidential tribunal that...

Studying in Delta State University (DELSU) these days appears to be more of a curse than a blessing especially with the unending report of missing students and ritual killings as sources within the school community lament that the school security and management under Professor Victor Finipa Peretomode are partly to be blamed.

This is because, over time, they have turned a blind eye to the malicious destruction of the citadel of knowledge, character, and service in Delta State. A few months ago, the youth wing of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) worldwide had raised an alarm that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Victor Peretomode and his management has allegedly been employing criminals as security officers in the school as there have been numerous cases of kidnapping and robbery within the school premises all linked to the security men.

An allegation that was soon confirmed after the Security Supervisor in charge of Campus 3, Mr. Raymond was linked to kidnapping and robbery following the death of Miss Elozino Joshuana Ogege, the 22 years old 300 level student of Mass Communication Department, Delta State University, Abraka, murdered in cold

As nine out of the twenty-nine Governors across the country celebrate 100 days of remarkable achievements in office after the 2019 elections having appointed Commissioners in accordance to the law, the Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku and 19 others may only have economic stagnation and infrastructural deprivation as their sole achievements.

In a letter written to the Taraba State House of Assembly by a Jalingo based lawyer and human right activist, Barr Bilyaminu Lukman Maihanchi, SecretReporters learned that Darius Ishaku who was sworn into office on May 29, 2019, following his supposed victory at the polls has been running a one-man show in the state following his refusal in appointing and swearing-in Commissioners after more than three months into his administration, a violation of Section 192 (1) and (2) of the 1999 constitution.

However, Ishaku is not the only one who has turned the affairs of the state into a one-man business investment, SecretReporters can report authoritatively, as Governors of Nassarawa, Adamawa, Bauchi, Jigawa, Katsina, Kebbi, Kano, Niger, Plateau, Zamfara, Yobe, Gombe as well as Enugu, Osun, Cross Rivers, Kwara, Ogun, Rivers, Taraba and Abia State are not left out of this charade.

In blatant defiance of section 195 (1) of the 1999 constitution which provides that “there shall be an Attorney General for each state who shall be the Chief Law Officer of the state and Commissioner for Justice of the Government of that state”, Gov. Ishaku chose to join the bandwagon of lawbreakers who have also usurped the powers of the judiciary in the state with their vehement refusal in appointing an Attorney General and Commissioners in their state.

With the likes of Nyesom Wike of Rivers State appointing just two Commissioners, Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State who seems to be proficient in appointing persons criticised by Crossriverians as Commissioners but have resorted to running a one-man show in other to clear his name, others have kept mum. On the other hand, findings showed that Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has also refused to appoint Commissioners due to fears that he might be sent packing from the government house following the weight of the case filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Election Petition Tribunal challenging his victory at the polls.

“Since the inception of the Governor’s second tenure, his government has been operating without a Chief Law Officer & Commissioners as constitutionally guaranteed, and it’s a duty-bound constitutionally for the Governor to hold regular meetings with his Deputy Governor and all Commissioners of the Government for the performance of his functions. His failure or refusal to appoint an Attorney General, with his Commissioners and to hold regular meetings for 3 months is an act of gross misconduct in the performance of his office and call for his impeachment” the lawyer stated. More so, due to the absence of an Executive Council in the state as provided for in the constitution, a source who spoke to our correspondence squealed that these Governors has usurped the powers of the judiciary and Commissioners and has begun high-level looting and embezzlement of public funds through the award of fake and suspicious contracts to his cronies and loyalists who act as the conduit pipe through which the money is funnelled to personal accounts. “…the act has negatively affected the welfare of the people of Taraba State, a larger percentage of the people who voted for the Governor thinking that he will work assiduously towards their betterment are disappointed and regret ever voting him in the first place”. Bilyaminu also stated.

Having termed the action of these Governors as a case of gross misconduct, the Jalingo based human right activist called on the State House of Assembly to immediately expedite actions towards the impeachment of Gov. Ishaku within seven (7) days in other to prevent him from further breaking every known law in the state.

With the incessant lack of stable and sustainable power supply, improved infrastructure and dwindling operational performance in the Nigerian power sector, a memo obtained by this online news medium shows that various scandalous actions carried out by Companies such as Alheri Engineering company and Phase 3 Telecommunications through unpaid debts from award of contracts has proven to be one of the major reasons behind the decline in the productivity of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), which emerged from the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) following the unbundling of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) with the 2005 Electric Power Sector Reform Act and operated a national grid that consists of eight thousand, three hundred and thirty-three Kilometers (8,336Km) of three hundred and thirty Kilovolts (330Kv) transmission lines and eighth hundred and seventy-one Kilometers (8,071Km) of one hundred and thirty-two Kilovolts (132KV) transmission lines in addition to 330/132/33KV substations, conveys electricity from power stations where electricity is produced to distribution companies which are subsequently distributed to households, businesses, and industries across the country.

A new order has started unfolding in Lagos State civil service.

The new wave emanated from the decision by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration to jettisoning the statutory procedures in civil service and popular axiom, ‘hard work pays.

And the administration’s resolve to discourage hard work for mediocrity came from its decision to approved removal of Permanent Secretaries, heads of agencies and Directors for kicking against any sharp practices in the State civil service.

But the need for a mediocre and corruption free civil service in Lagos State further strengthened by the immediate past governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has allegedly suffered severe setbacks, leaving several civil servants to wonder reasons for the sudden shift in administrative style.

Under the previous administration, several leakages that reduced government efficiencies were blocked using some Permanent Secretaries, Heads of Departments and Agencies, assisting the government to save over N3 billion monthly.

And rather than the present administration sustains the strategy with the crops of civil servants that prevented the state from...

The education system falls short of standard, writes Ikechukwu Agada The glory of the yesteryears education system in Nigeria has vanished like the vapors of a dewy morning.

No vehicle can run indefinitely without a refuel, just as no tree can hope to remain sturdy without water and sunshine.

The events of recent years have no doubt inscribed this truth deep into the breasts of our near-comatose education system.

It is apparent that we are still practicing a backward oriented education system in Nigeria in this digital age.

The current system has continued to fail the internationally recommended tests.

A clinical assessment of the Nigerian education system calls for emergency and a 360 degrees mental disruption. The challenges that plague the education sector in our country are legion but a few highlights will be made.

The over-westernized culture in the modern education curriculum is a welcome development but has a retarding effect on our indigenous ones.

The mad quest for British curriculum has deleted the necessary ingredients in the Nigeria scheme thereby rendering some core Nigerian subjects impotent in the classroom.

Nigeria history has been totally obliterated from the educational curriculum.

The real truth about Nigeria political pilgrimage has been stolen, the spiral effect is...

With the recent shutdown of Ahmadiyya Muslim hospital Ojokoro and the immediate intervention by the Ahmadiyya Mission to salvage the situation which has since restored normalcy to the hospital, more mind joggling revelations on how Mr Nasrullah Hamid has been running the affairs of the hospital like a personal business has emerged with many quacks set to be laid off by the new management.

According to insider sources, the former Medical Director, Nasrullah Hamid absconded the next day after the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAAMA) shut down the hospital following series of reports on the hospital’s activities by SecretReporters.

His immediate travel outside the country we learned was not just to evade sanctions from the health care monitoring agency but mainly because of alleged embezzlement of about N30 million from the hospital coffers.

After a committee was set up to address issues regarding the hospital, a consultant, Dr Akinyele with years of experience was

Many call him the Onwanetiliora of Alor (the moon), the Okaaome of Ituku and Okaaome of Okpanam (Talk and Do), but if you call him a ‘smooth criminal’, you might also be right.

This is because over the years, the one time Governor of Anambra State now a member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) who also served as a Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District has managed to evade the radar of anti-graft agencies in Nigeria despite his alleged dubious financial history.

Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige, the current Minister of Labour who in 2003 was elected Governor of Anambra State in controversial circumstances, but had to vacate the seat after an election tribunal led by Justice Nabaruma in August 2005 nullified his victory despite his appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal which on March 15 2006 in a landmark judgment upheld the annulment and awarded victory to Peter Obi of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) successfully used the little time he was in power to amass enormous wealth.
