Knificent.blogspot.com .

A former staff of the Budget Office of the Federation, Mr. Henry Ilemona Oyibo, who is now with the Ministry of Niger Delta, has been arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for allegedly receiving gratification to carry out his official duties.

 

 

Acting on a petition submitted, the Commission’s operatives in their preliminary investigation, discovered that between 2014 and 2015, Mr. Oyibo received gratification to the tune of N5,547,600.00 of funds of the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja from the Director, Finance and Accounts, Mr. Sule Otu, and three other staff for him as Liaison Officer, to facilitate the release of the Centre’s budgeted funds by the Budget Office.

 

 

The actions of the officials which border on corrupt offer and receipt of gratification by public officers are contrary to sections 8, 9, 16 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.

 

 

Further investigation also revealed that Mr. Oyibo owns assets valued far beyond his legitimate earnings in breach of Section 44 (2) of the ICPC law.

 

 

All the suspected staff of the Federal Medical Centre who had been in custody previously were granted bail and released by the Commission, while Mr. Oyibo, who is now in custody, will be released upon the fulfilment of his bail conditions.

 

 

They will all be charged to court as soon as investigations have been completed

''Fake news is the only weapon used against a performing government like ours'' Lai Mohammed

.

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, today said fake news is the only weapon the opposition can use to fight ainst a performing government like the Buhari-led government. Lai made the comment when he paid  courtesy visit to the People’s Daily newspaper in Abuja.

“Fake news has taken another dimension. Now, it is not uncommon for otherwise respectable media organisations to accuse the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without backing up their accusation with an iota of evidence.

“The latest of such occurred two days ago, when a newspaper wrote an editorial in which it resorted to the use of uncouth language to link the president to the farmers-herders clashes.  In their eagerness to de-market the President, they forget that the President is the symbol of Nigeria, and that by denigrating him, they are denigrating the country.

“Unknown to them, by throwing caution to the wind, they are not only denigrating the country, they are also destroying themselves. The media is free to criticise the president, but it is not right to denigrate the president.  They are unrelenting, because fake news is the only weapon they have against a performing administration like ours. They know they cannot take on us on the issue of infrastructure, economy, fight against corruption, agricultural development, etc. They have therefore resorted to using fake news to de-market our administration. Thankfully, they are failing.” he said

Speaking further, Lai said those that are in the habit of spreading fake news are perfecting plans to distort campaigns of 2019 general election.

“The purveyors of fake news in Nigeria have not relented. If anything at all, they are perfecting their strategy of using fake news to distort the campaign for next year’s general elections. No doubt, the main target of the naysayers is the Buhari administration. They have used fake news to aggravate the farmers-herders clashes. If we can’t slay the monster of fake news, we must at least tame it. All we are asking all Nigerians to do are check the source of any news item being pushed their way [and] don’t share whatever they cannot vouch for'' he said

PDP Mocks Osinbajo Over N10,000 Empowerment Of ‘agbo Jedi’ - Politics -

Knificent.blogspot.com .The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has berated the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, over the federal government’s empowerment of some traders with N10,000 in Osun State.

PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it was a shame that Osinbajo could condescend to empower “Agbo jedi” sellers with N10,000 in Osun State.

Sharing a photograph of those empowered on his Twitter handle, Ologbondiyan wrote, “It’s a shame that a pastor and a professor of law, VP @ProfOsinbajo will stoop this low to encourage the 10k “agbo jedi” empowerment in Osun.

“Aregbe has made life so pitiable for Osun citizens.”

Osinbajo had on Monday arrived in Iwo, Osun State, to launch an empowerment programme for 30,000 traders across the state.

The programme tagged ‘Tradermoni’ is an initiative of the Federal Government in collaboration with the Bank of Industry for petty traders.

Each of the 30,000 traders are billed to receive the sum of N10,000 to boost their businesses.

Executive Director of BOI, Toyin Adeniji, said the bank would not relent until every Nigerian who is willing, has access to loans irrespective of their status or level of education.

Petrol Scarcity Looms Again As NUPENG Threatens Strike Over Sack Of Workers - Politics -

Knificent.blogspot.com .



The National leadership of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has criticised the sacking of workers by some oil and gas companies for active unionism.

NUPENG described the action as oppressive and a height of high handedness on the part of the firms.


It accused the management of Sterling Energy Exploration Company (SEEPCO) and its drilling arm, British Oil and Gas Ltd of denying workers their rights to unionise.

The union, therefore, called on the authorities and other relevant stakeholders in the sector to wade into the issue without delay to avert industrial crisis in Kwale, Warri area of Delta.

“For the records, five drilling oil rigs being operated by Sterling Energy Exploration Company (SEEPCO) and its drilling arm, British Oil and Gas Ltd in Kwale, Warri, have been in operation for several years.

“The period has witnessed continuous refusal by the management of these drilling companies to allow workers to join the union.

“Workers of these drilling rigs have overtly indicated their willingness and readiness to join the unions of their choice and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has responded appropriately to the request.

“Unfortunately, the management of SEEPCO and its drilling arm, British Oil and Gas Ltd have resulted to high handedness and violence through the use of military men and armed militias to forcefully evacuate over 2, 500 workers from the five drilling rigs.

“These companies are Indian operated companies and NUPENG found it grossly unfortunate and unacceptable that these companies would be using brute force to dehumanise, terrorise, and victimise Nigerians in their own country,” the union said in a statement on Wednesday signed by its President, Mr Williams Akporeha.

It vowed not fold its arms while its members were being dehumanised in the course of demanding for their legitimate rights as recognised by labour laws and the International Labour Organisation charter.

To avoid further escalation, NUPENG urged the authorities, particularly the Federal Government and its agencies, to call the management of the companies to order, while directing them to follow path of best practices by granting the legitimate wishes of the workers.

NUPENG also called on its members to be “on red alert” as they might be called upon at very short notice to withdraw their services nationwide in solidarity with their oppressed colleagues if the situation was not addressed immediately.
