 Christmas: Fear spreads among northern churches over fresh bomb attacks Barely three days to Christmas and New Year celebrations, many Christians living in the northern part of the country have expressed fear of terror attacks in states plagued by violence and terrorism. Sunday PUNCH gathered that the situation had dampened the festive spirit of some northerners, forcing many families to reconsider their plans for the season.  Recall that multiple bomb explosions had killed three persons, including a child in the Bassa community of the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State last Thursday. The explosions were believed to be landmines as they went off while children played on their way to the farm. Also, in early December, bombs exploded in two separate locations in the Dansadau district of Maru LGA of Zamfara State, killing several people as well as leaving many injured. While the tragic incidents happened on Friday, December 6, 2024, 12 people were reportedly killed two...

BAYELSA DUE PROCESS BUREAU OFFICIALS APPLAUD LAGOS PROCUREMENT AGENCY



The Lagos State Public Procurement Agency has been commended for the giant milestones it has attained in the public procurement process by a team of officials of Bayelsa State Due Process Bureau, who were on a two-day study tour to the Agency.


Speaking on behalf of the 15-man delegation, the Director-General of the Due Process Bureau, Bayelsa State, Mr. Aaron Timiye, pointed out that the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency was identified as “one of the leading sub-national public procurement agencies in Nigeria, especially in the expansion of citizens’ participation in public procurement processes, disclosure of procurement information, capacity building and many more, to promote good governance and public confidence” in the management of public resources.


Mr. Timiye added that it was the achievements of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency that inspired and informed the decision of the Bayelsa State delegation to embark on the study tour to Lagos to learn from the experience of the Agency in public procurement regulation and identify possible areas of collaboration between the two bodies.


While welcoming the visiting Bayelsa delegation, the Director-General, Lagos State Public Procurement Agency, Mr. Fatai Idowu Onafowote, emphasised the need for regular interaction and collaboration among regulatory public procurement agencies both within and outside the country.


Mr. Onafowote pointed out that knowledge and experience sharing among regulatory public procurement bodies would facilitate the expansion of the frontiers of knowledge and the evolvement of creative ideas and strategies that could further enhance the public procurement system of the States of the Federation and even beyond.


The Director-General added that the management was ready to make presentations and give tips on some of the practical steps taken by the Agency and the Lagos State Government that have been effective.


“I believe your Bureau will find the tips useful. And if the ideas are working for Lagos, they will surely work for Bayelsa. All that is needed is the will and the determination which I believe you have demonstrated by embarking on the long journey to Lagos”, Mr. Onafowote noted.


He further pointed out that strict adherence to the implementation of the Law setting up the Agency enables the Agency to conduct the public procurement process and the business of the Government transparently.


The Director-General also attributed the modest achievements of the Agency to the commitment of a well-trained crop of procurement personnel in the State, the synergy forged with key stakeholders as well as the unwavering commitment and support of the State Government to the Agency.


During the two-day study tour, officials of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency made presentations on the Procurement process, the Lagos State Public Procurement Law and Regulations, Monitoring, Contractor Registration and the e-Procurement system.

  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...
