       Last year, when we resumed from our annual recess, we immediately went to work on the formulation of the National Assembly’s economic recommendations. These suggestions were then forwarded to the executive for implementation. In this regard, today, the Senate resolved to: Urge the national economic managers to remain focused and to ensure that the current growth of 0.55% is built upon and increased substantially in the months and years ahead; Urge the fiscal and monetary authorities to come together to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policies with a view to drastically reducing the high interest rates that have adversely affected borrowing for investment by the real sector of the economy; and Urge the fiscal authorities to drastically reduce the accumulation of domestic debt in order to free the market for better access by the private sector. Moving forward, we will continue to work with the Executive to sustain the growth of our economy. O...

                                        People should learn to wear gowns with beautiful print,it will make you standout.Sometimes the material of the gown might not be very fantastic but the bold prints on it might make you look like a super human if you wear it.Another thing is identifying the prints to know how to wear it,if you look at the back of the dress,the design is different from the front so i held my gown up for a while,study the prints then I decide to wear this part for the front.Am a big Chelsea fan so blue and white for me was a fantastic choice and on sunday my state ''Anambra'' was going for thanksgiving in our Lagos catholic Church so i rocked this gown well and danced in it.I carried a white purse,wore white pair of shoes and even wore a necklace to match with the front print of the dress.So when next you buy a dress with print,study the prints and know exactly where t...

      The EFCC has taken the fight against corruption closer to the people of Akwa Ibom state and the neighbouring Cross River State, by establishing an office in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital. The office, located on number 3, Akparawa Crescent, off Edet Akpan Avenue (4 lane), started receiving petitions on August 8, 2017, when the Commission took over the office complex. The Zonal Head, Mr. Abdulkarim Chukkol, had earlier addressed the media on the operation of the Commission in Uyo.  "We urge the people within the zone to see the nearness of the EFCC to their door steps as an advantage which they should maximise by alerting the Commission of any form of economic or financial crimes" said Chukkol.More photos below.

               Dear Nnamdi Kanu, We have never met. I only know you by reputation and I have had cause in the last year to write on your activities within the public arena and offer my own views about you, your persona, and your interventions in the Nigerian debate. I sincerely hope you would get to read this letter wherever you may be, that is assuming you are still alive. Your father’s house was recently invaded by the Nigerian military (surprised you don’t have a house of your own!). We were later told that you simply disappeared into thin air, along with your parents. The murderous Operation Python Dance II that was unleashed on Igboland by the Federal Government of Nigeria has since become a subject of national interest. Many people have proclaimed that you have been killed, abducted and that many members of your family and movement – the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have been wasted. Some people said you were called The Lion, bu...
