 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police. Despite the high rate of the incident being reported, only about 11.7 per cent of t...

I OWE BENUE PENSIONERS 68 MONTHS ONLY, NOT 72 MONTHS - GOV. ORTOM



Benue State Governor, Samuel Ioraer Ortom has denied claims made in some quarters that he’s owing pensioners 6 years worth of pension arrears.

The Governor has in the past said he inherited about N70bn debt of salaries, pensions and gratuity.
Ortom said in 2021, “I inherited N70bn naira debt of salaries, pensions and gratuities. We have to look at better ways of earning money to pay.”

The Governor who has in his time as the leader of the state built personal companies, including Oracle Farms, where he deals in all kinds of animals and grows different varieties of crops, and has recently started making his own bird feeds.

In addition, he has opened the International College of Technology (technology) in Makurdi, the state capital, where different handiworks ranging from shoe making to belt making are taught.

It’s not hard to guess that the former Minister is not building all these just with his salary. And if there was a doubt that he was doing so with his salary, he’s almost finishing work on a brand new cassava processing plant, along Makurdi-Gboko Road.

But when asked about senior citizens who worked for the state and are being owed their due pay, he said “Benue pensioners are lying that I am owing them for 72 months (6 years). I owe them only 68 months (5 years, 6 months).”

Ortom is in the race for the Benue Zone B Senatorial seat, a now seemingly normal path for former governors. Almost half of senators are former state governors, and Ortom is hoping to join them.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
