 Buhari never saw Oronsaye’s report, says ex-minister Former Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, says that Steven Oronsaye’s report was not presented to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari during his administration. Shittu was a minister during Buhari’s first term in office between 2015 and 2019. According to him, the report was not brought to the attention of the Buhari administration, and as such, there was no need for implementation. He said, “The report had been with the previous government (Jonathan’s) but they didn’t do anything. Nobody brought it to our (Buhari government’s) attention, at least not when I was there. So, the issue never came up for discussion at the Federal Executive Council meeting at all. If nobody brought it and there were no complaints, we didn’t have cause to look at it at all.” There was controversy over the report since the Federal Government approved the implementation of some of its recommendations to reduce the cost of governance on February 26, ab...

 Insecurity: Children’s protest over killings in Katsina sparks concern Hundreds of children in Katsina State, North West Nigeria, last week, took to the streets, unguided, following several attacks on different villages in the state by bandits for three consecutive days without intervention from security agents. The children’s actions have been generating reactions from well meaning Nigerians, who saw the development as a slight on the country’s entire security architecture. They blamed the government for allowing the situation to degenerate to the level where minors took protest as an option. According to reports, the bandits, last week, launched several attacks on different villages in Katsina, including the Wurma community, which was attacked for three days consecutively, without any intervention from any of the security agencies.

 We’re on course on subsidy removal – FG Federal Government says it’s on course on fuel subsidy removal. FG also assured that it is working assiduously to ensure the price stability of fuel in the overall interest of Nigeria. International Monetary Fund had alleged that the government still maintains subsidies on fuel pump prices and electricity tariffs despite President Bola Tinubu announcing the removal of subsidy. Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Verheijen, who spoke at the ministerial press briefing in Abuja, said it is the prerogative of the government to maintain price stability. She argued that developed countries, including the United States do the same to prevent volatility in the economy. She, therefore, said government intervention to stabilise prices does not remove the fact that subsidy has been removed. According to her, “The question of subsidy, the subsidy was removed on May 29, 2023. However, the government has the prerogative whether the US, in the ...

 It’s unjust to demand rent deposits of one year — Ned Nwoko Senator Ned Nwoko said it is unjust for house owners to demand rent deposits for one year. Nwoko stated this in an interview on Thursday. Recall that the senator proposed the bill, following the first reading of his One-Month Rent Limitation and Landlord Registry Act. Nwoko assured that his decisions for the country always come from an informed position, adding, “When I proffer solution to the problems of Nigeria, I talk from an informed position.” He said this requirement for people in Nigeria to make rent payments for a year or two, is unfair, and quite inconsiderate of the financial situation of the people in the country, asserting that it doesn’t happen in other countries. “The issue rising from the rent payment is that it is manifestly unjust for anybody to demand for people to look for rent deposit or payments of one year or two years.
