#PMB says dt d National Assembly slashed money meant 4 Enugu airport terminal from N2b to N500 million.
But Sen Abaribe & SE lawmakers say dy dont know who & when d cut was made bc they actually lobbied dt d N2b be raised to N3.5 but a #PMB minister said no.
*someone
What really happened? @DoubleEph observes: 'Just a few weeks ago, Hadi Sirika & d Enugu .. governor said the contractor for d Enugu airport terminal had been paid N1.7b & d balance of N300m will be paid once d budget was passed. NASS cut d Enugu airport budget from N2bn to N500m'
'[Sen] Enyinnaya Abaribe, chairman, senate committee on power, steel development and metallurgy, says N30b was smuggled into the power budget. ...The senator said his committee was not aware of the insertion...Where did such huge sum of N30 billion come from?' (@thecableng)
This new appointment appears to lend credence to the belief that certain ethnic 'blood' is required for certain security positions in this era of 97% v 5%.
Those who deserve arrest are #PMB who has some explanations to make about the whereabout of Nnamdi Kanu,the police that #PMB uses & #Okorocha on whose silence the women are being incarcerated.
Nobody has seen Nnamdi Kanu.
According to art. 7 (1) of the Rome Statute of d International Criminal Court, enforced disappearance of persons can constitute 'crimes against humanity'.
Between #PMB, #Okorocha, the police & the arrested #Owerri women, who then deserves arrest?
3 elements of enforced disappearance according to the UN:
(a) Deprivation of liberty against the will of the person concerned
(b) Involvement of government officials, at least indirectly by acquiescence;
(c)Refusal to disclose the fate & whereabouts of the person concerned”.
Insincerity, deceit, lies & impunity characterise governance in the .@OfficialAPCNg-led govt. of Oyo State.
How do you describe an Oyo govt that claimed that the demolition of Fresh FM followed due process only for the same govt to express shock at reading about the demolition?
To the argument that demolishing Fresh FM was wrong bc it is an employer of labour, Gov Ajimobi of Oyo says, according to @PremiumTimesng, 'are armed robbers not employers of labour too? Should we now say bc [they] employ people, they should continue to rob ...?”
Incorrigible?
So, Gov Ajimobi of Oyo has acknowledged that the state govt. demolished Fresh FM because of the state's 'commitment' to due process. I hope this is the government's last word on this & that it would not turn around & express shock at the demolition the way it did some days ago.
1. A pilot from Air Peace in a flight from Abuja to Enugu announced that the potholes and cracks in the runway of the airport could cause accident.
2. The same pilot from Air Peace invited passengers on board with some influence to get the authorities to forstall accident at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, by resurfacing the run way.
3. The airport lacks approach light at the runway's two ends; thus the airport operates only between 7am to 7pm & there is a nearby market which attracts birds - which is a threat to the engine of an aircraft
Nobody doubts that poverty can be found in every part of Nigeria, but the truth is that it is SERIOUSLY PERVASIVE in a region of the country, the north.
Check this article 'Poverty in Northern Nigeria' from Asian Journal of Humanities & Social Studies, according to the article:
1.'Each time poverty is mentioned in Nigeria, everybody’s mind readily moves to the Northern part of the country where there is high level of illiteracy and child destitution.' 2. The northern states account for the large population of
the citizens living in poverty in Nigeria.
3.'On a geo-political assessment, the North West has 77.7% of its population living in relative poverty while the North East came second with 76.3% of its population living in relative poverty. The North Central States has 67.5% of its population living in relative poverty'
