 Supreme Court judgment: 21 states race to hold elections as 489 LGAs face zero FAAC allocations • Salaries of primary school teachers, council workers uncertain • ‘Illegal’ LGs received N1.68tr between June 2023 and May 2024 • INEC should conduct council polls, say Shittu, Oyeweso • ‘National Assembly will ensure INEC conducts LG elections’   The last is yet to be heard concerning the recent Supreme Court judgment, which granted autonomy to local councils as 489 local government areas (LGAs) in 21 states may not receive the next allocation from the federation account.     The Guardian checks revealed that as of Thursday when the apex court delivered its judgment, 489 out of 774 LGAs (63.17 per cent) were being governed by caretaker committees or civil servants, indicating democracy had been crippled at the grassroots.     It was also gathered that some governors at the weekend began strategising on how to mitigate the effects of zero allocation to the LGAs...

 Africa’s future lies within the continent, says Adesina President of the African Development Bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, on Friday advocated for youth investment in Nigeria’s Agri-business. Adesina championed the advocacy in his keynote address at the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa Primates and Wives’ Retreat in Abuja. He spoke on the topic “Food Security and Financial Sustainability in Africa: The Role of the Church”. Adesina underscored the vital role of youth in revolutionising Nigeria’s agricultural sector and highlighted the success stories of some young entrepreneurs. The former Minister of Agriculture recounted his symbolic decision to wear a bowtie during his tenure as Minister of Agriculture to make the sector more appealing to young Nigerians. According to him, the effort is part of a broader strategy to rebrand agriculture as a viable and attractive career path for the youth. Adesina urged religious and government leaders to support AfDB’s Enable Youth in Agricu...

 Those pushing for Nigeria’s break-up are dreaming – Buratai Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has urged those wishing Nigeria disintegrate to perish the thought, predicting that the country would continue to remain a united nation. Buratai spoke in Kuta, Osun State on Sunday at the 60th birthday celebration of Olowu of Kuta, Oba Adekunle Oyelude. The event attracted a host of dignitaries, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, ex-Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, among others. Buratai, who described Olowu Kuta as a detribalised Nigerian who has shown love to people across all ethnic groups in the country, said those agitating that the country should disintegrate must be ready to carve out their own part and move it to the ocean. Noting that the experience of civil war had taught Nigerians that agitation to divide the country would always fail, Buratai called for unity to further enhance Nigeria’s development. “You...

 Labour suspends planned strike in Abia The Organised Labour in Abia State, on Sunday, suspended its seven-day strike ultimatum it issued to the state government, scheduled to begin today (Monday). The labour union had threatened a strike over the government’s inability to sit for a dialogue over the payment of the expired N30,000 minimum wage and the N35,000 palliative wage award, as approved by the Federal Government. Following the ultimatum, Governor Alex Otti met with the members of the organised labour in the state and directed the state Accountant General to liaise with the union within the next week, to reconcile the actual amount that the least paid worker in the state should receive as minimum wage, among other issues. The state NLC Chairman, Comrade Ogbonnaya Okoro, alleged that the government was currently paying N20,100 while workers in the local governments received N18,000 as minimum wage. The governor, however, said records available to him showed that the state was ...

 Tension In Rivers As 7-Day Budget Ultimatum Reaches Deadline Uncertainty has once again gripped the political landscape in Rivers State, as the 7-day ultimatum by the Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly for Governor Siminalayi Fubara to resubmit the 2024 budget reaches its deadline this week. The ultimatum, issued on July 8, will expire today if weekends are counted, or on Wednesday if they are excluded. The Assembly’s order came after a motion by Dumle Maol, the Chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary. Maol, who is also the Deputy Speaker of the Pro-Nyesom Wike Assembly, urged the House to formally notify the governor to present the budget in light of a recent court ruling, which they believe affirmed their membership and validated Amaewhule’s leadership. The re-presentation of the budget was a key element of the presidential peace pact in December, aimed at resolving the political crisis in the South-South state. Previously, Governor Fubara had submitted the ₦800bn budge...
