 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the salaries committee to review payroll and also review the number of agencies.
The government will also remove some unnecessary items from the budget as a move to cut the cost of governance in the country.
Zainab disclosed this at the ongoing ‘National Policy Dialogue on Corruption and Cost of Governance in Nigeria’ held in Abuja on Tuesday.
The programme was organised by the Independent Corrupt Practice Commission.
The government had approved a N13.88trn budget with a deficit of over N5.6trn.
The government projected a revenue of N7.98trn to fund part of the 2021 budget.
“We still see government expenditure increase to a terrain twice higher than our revenue,” Ahmed said.
The Finance boss said all agencies must come together to trim its cost amid the country’s dwindling revenue.
She said, “We need to work together, all agencies of the government to cut down our cost. We need to cut down unnecessary expenditures. Expenditures that we can do without.
“Our budgets are filled year in year out with projects that we see over and over again and also projects that are not necessary.

“Mr President has directed that the salaries committee that I chair, work together with the head of service and other members of the committee to review the government pay rolls in terms of stepping down on cost.”
She revealed that the FG will also review the number of government agencies in terms of their mandates.
Ahmed disclosed that for agencies with the same mandate the government will look at “how to merge the two.”
The Chairman of the ICPC, Bolaji Owasanoye, noted during the stakeholders meeting that the cost of governance is the “driver of corruption in Nigeria.”
He said the government has committed to improving the country’s revenue from new and existing sources.
Owasanoye said the government’s commitment to streamline payroll, removal of subsidies and reduction of the cost of contracts and procurement are all for the benefits of the “poor and vulnerable.”
He said a critical area of concern was “payroll padding” and the “phenomenon of ghost workers.”
He also lamented the duplication of projects such as the constituency projects of lawmakers.
The ICPC boss said funding for such projects are usually released without any mechanism for monitoring and evaluation and reconciliation of the funding.
He cited a project executed by the Redeemed Christian Church of God which was inadvertently diverted as an executive project.
