 STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU MOVES DIGITAL FREE ZONES INITIATIVE TO IMPLEMENTATION, TARGETS MORE GLOBAL JOBS AND INVESTMENT FOR NIGERIANS President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has moved Nigeria’s Digital Free Zones initiative to its next phase, as the Renewed Hope administration seeks to make it easier for Nigerian technology and service companies to raise global capital, employ Nigerians and build for international markets without moving their businesses and intellectual property abroad. The President said the initiative will also create opportunities for more young Nigerians to work for global companies from Nigeria and expand the domestic ecosystem of engineers, developers, designers, lawyers, accountants and other professionals who provide services to growing digital businesses. “Nigeria has the talent, enterprise and ambition to build companies that can compete anywhere in the world. Our responsibility as a government is to ensure that Nigerians do not have to leave Nigeri...

 Southern senators revive forum ...Abiru elected chair, Umeh deputy chair The Southern Senators’ Forum (SSF) yesterday elected Adetokunbo Abiru (APC, Lagos East) as its chairman. This is coming nine months after the inauguration of the 10th Senate. The forum comprises 51 senators from the 17 southern states. The SSF met at the Conference Room of Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central), saying the forum, like the Northern Senators’ Forum (NSF), has been in existence since the Ninth Senate. Bamidele, who was chairman of the forum during the Ninth Senate, said his current position as the 10th Senate Leader, prevented him from providing the required leadership forum, necessitating the change of leadership. “What is happening here today is not new as both the Southern and Northern Senators’ fora existed even before this 10th Senate,” he said. Addressing reporters during the meeting, Bamidele said Abiru, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and ot...

 Kentucky man while intoxicated on Fireball, steals school bus, crashes, then flees down middle of the road. The London Kentucky PD were called Tuesday night to the report of a crashed school bus. The caller said they, "witnessed a man, dressed in all black, crawl out of the wrecked bus and begin running down the middle of the road." The crash occurred at the intersection of Middleground Way and Sublimity School road. Responding officers located 26-year-old John Driscoll running down Middlegrond way. Driscoll admitted that he had drank a fair amount of Fireball whiskey before deciding to steal the school bus from South Laurel High-school.  Driscoll has been charged with DUI, theft by unlawful taking of a vehicle, criminal mischief, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, careless driving, not having a CDL, illegal use of a school bus and failure to wear a seat belt.  Hopefully he took a backpack from that bus to carry the book they threw at him. That is a lot ...

 N500m ‘Largesse’: I Received N266m, Senator Confesses Senator representing Abia South, Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe, has said contrary to the claim that some ranking senators received N500 million from the 2024 budget, he had only received N266 million. A federal lawmaker representing Cross River North, Senator Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe, had during plenary, on Tuesday, said that some senior senators had received N500 million each from the 2024 budget. The revelation came on the heel of an ongoing controversy over an allegation of budget padding made by Senator Abdul Ningi in an interview with BBC Hausa. Ningi had earlier accused the Senate of padding the 2024 budget, saying the National Assembly added an extra N3.7 trillion to the initial budget. Reacting to the development, during a chat with ARISE TV, Senator Abaribe said Ningi knew it was a mistake claiming what he could not prove, because he was not a new member in the Senate. Abaribe added that despite him, himself, being a senior s...

 BudgIT: N’assembly inserted 7,447 projects worth N2trn in 2024 budget National assembly complex   BudgIT, a civic-tech non-profit organisation, says the national assembly inserted 7,447 constituency projects worth N2.24 trillion in the 2024 project. The organisation said most of the projects inserted into the budget by the national assembly have “no national significance but narrowed to personal interests”. BudgIT, on Wednesday, released a report on its findings of the allegation of budget padding by the national assembly made by Abdul Ningi, senator representing Bauchi central. BACKGROUND Last Saturday, Ningi stirred controversy when he alleged that the 2024 budget was padded by N3 trillion and that the country is operating two budgets concurrently. The Bauchi senator said “huge damage” has been done to the north and the entire country in the budget. On Tuesday, the allegations were debated during plenary at the red chamber, amid a rowdy session. Advertisement Subsequently, ...

First Ever Physics Textbook Written In Igbo Language By Maazi Okoro From Ebonyi State  Is Out.   Over the years, I have read so many threats facing the Igbo and how it will go extinct. This motivated me to embark on this project that seemed unattainable, for science subjects to be taught in Igbo. I started from Physics. I said I would do it, and I DID IT. This book is designed in a way that one without formal education can understand Physics. It's needed in all libraries, schools, homes and for individual use. More photos below.

 Suspension of Ningi hasn’t addressed vital issues in allegation — Peter Obi tells Senate   The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, said the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi by the Senate has not addressed vital issues in the allegation of the lawmaker. Obi stated this in a statement via his X handle on Wednesday. According to him, the fuss over the alleged N3 trillion padded into the 2024 budget still rages as the Senate’s reaction of suspending the whistle-blower has not addressed vital issues emanating from the allegation. He said, “The Senator is insisting on his allegation, and the Executive agreed that there was only N1.2 trillion padded, not N3 trillion as alleged by the Senator. Fresh allegations have also cropped up over the indiscriminate and unbalanced allocation of constituency projects by the Senate leadership.  “A civic society group, Budgit, through their officials, has also added their voice to agree with the Senator. They allege t...
