 U.S imposes sanctions on former Congo President Joseph Kabila The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on former Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila for his support of ‌Rwanda-backed M23 rebels and for fueling political instability in Congo's troubled east. The U.S. Treasury Department said M23 and its political-military arm, the Congo River Alliance (AFC), had been stoking violent conflict in eastern DRC, resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians and a mass displacement crisis. Treasury said Kabila had provided financial support to the ​AFC in order to influence the political situation in eastern DRC, while encouraging DRC troops to defect and join AFC forces. ​It said Kabila was working to regain influence over the government by backing a candidate opposed to the current ⁠leader. DRC Deputy Prime Minister Jacquemain Shabani welcomed what he called a long-delayed U.S. move against Kabila. "He is the instigator, the initiator, the architect ​of...

HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATURE AIDED OUR ADMINISTRATION’S SUCCESSES, SAYS PRESIDENT BUHARI
 

President Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday in Abuja, attributed the tremendous success his administration recorded in the provision of critical infrastructure in the past eight years, many of which he had been commissioning across the country in the past few days, to the harmonious relationship between the Executive and the Legislature, adding that the Legislature was the cornerstone of any democracy.
 
President Buhari spoke at the commissioning of the permanent site of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies, (NILDS) Abuja.
 
"I have traversed all parts of Nigeria in the last few days commissioning several critical national infrastructures that our administration has completed over the past eight years. Our successes as a government are primarily due to the harmonious relationship between the Executive and Legislature," the President said, adding that “the legislature is the cornerstone of any democracy and is vital to ensuring that the wishes and aspirations of all Nigerians are considered during the law-making process. It also performs critical functions of overseeing the Executive and ensuring that government spending aligns with legislative intent.”
 
Harping on the numerous positive outcomes of an independent Legislature, President Buhari declared: “From the moment of my election in 2015 and subsequently, I supported the idea of an independent National Assembly, one that is able to decide its leadership and develop its agenda in line with the manifesto of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
 
“I refrained from meddling in the affairs of the legislature and promoted instead a culture of mutual respect and collaboration between the two Arms.”
 
The President said the cordial relationship was also instrumental to the unprecedented number of Bills passed into law, and addressed some of the long-standing challenges that have hampered economic growth and development.
 
“Our achievements in reforming the oil and gas sector, strengthening the electoral framework, diversifying our economy, improving transparency and accountability, tackling insecurity and entrenching good governance are easily verifiable. This 9th Assembly will be remembered as one of the most productive in terms of outputs and outcomes,” the President further stated.
 
President Buhari noted that Nigeria was immensely endowed in many ways, saying, "Our single greatest asset is the people of this country. Our teeming youth population provides the labour force we need to industrialise and develop our economy. This underscores the need for a more sustained investment in human capacity development.”
He noted that human capital was the essential lifeblood of a State and its institutions as it aids in the performance of constitutionally assigned mandates better when provided with all the required resources, stressing that “the NILDS permanent site, therefore, is a critical first step towards bolstering the capacity of the legislature to improve its law-making, oversight and representation functions.”
 
In his remarks, Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, expressed his delight that "the promise that the Institute would not be a white elephant project has been realized, adding that "the tenth Assembly had prioritized the completion of Legacy projects in the 2023 budget because of their importance in stimulating economic activities and the need to entrench the legacies of this administration."
 
He commended President Buhari for his love for the 9th Assembly which has translated into his approval for the completion of the NILDS Complex as well as the commissioning of several projects of the National Assembly.
 
The Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, said that having noted the institutional challenges facing the Legislature, the National Assembly was convinced that the commissioning of the Institute by the President would address some of the challenges. He thanked President Buhari for his steadfast efforts at uplifting the well-being of Nigerians.
