HOW TINUBU-LED FEDERAL GOVT PAID OVER N800M INTO PRIVATE ACCOUNTS IN CONTRAVENTION OF LAW

Available government data from Govspend.ng portal has showed that over N809 million was paid into individual bank accounts by the President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government as humanitarian interventions among others.

According to checks, the money was disbursed in over 65 payments made into individual accounts by the government in contravention of the law.

The monies were paid under items such as; engagement of Internally Displaced Persons, Needs assessment of humanitarian interventions, proposal of technical dialogues, renewal of rents, stipends among others .

These monies were paid by the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry, the Presidency, the Niger Delta Affairs Ministry, among others

The following individuals were tracked in the analysis; Abbas Haruna (N10 million), Ogun Cletus (N7.9 million), Kaosindinma Chinyere (N25.6 million), Gana Ahmed (N5.1 million) Joseph Sunday (N5.3 million) Rabiu Ramala (N5.5 million), Amaefule Ann (N8.3 million), Abubakar Isa (N7.4 million), Chidi Stephen (N19.6 million), Abubakar Auwal (N5.3 million), Agbim Bariya (N19.6million), Oshamo Titilayo (N9.1 million), Abdullahi Bala (N5.7 million), Prof Hassan Usman (N7.0 million), Usman Garba (N14 million), Oteri Bala (N8.2 million).

There have been corruption allegations in Nigeria.

    BISHOP KUKAH RAISES CONCERN OVER BAN OF CHURCHES IN NORTHERN NIGERIA UNIVERSITIES

    BISHOP KUKAH RAISES CONCERN OVER BAN OF CHURCHES IN NORTHERN NIGERIA UNIVERSITIES In a controversial move that has sparked widespread debate and condemnation, Bishop Matthew Kukah of Sokoto Diocese, has expressed deep concern over recent directives from universities in northern Nigeria that effectively ban churches from operating within their premises. The outspoken cleric, known for his candid stance on social and political issues, has vehemently criticized what he perceives as an infringement on religious freedom and a discriminatory practice against Christian students and staff. The issue arose following reports that several universities in northern Nigeria, predominantly in Muslim-majority areas, have enforced policies prohibiting the establishment or operation of churches on their campuses. This decision has elicited strong reactions from various quarters, with Bishop Kukah leading the charge in denouncing what he labels as religious intolerance. In a statement addressing the matter, Bishop Kukah emphasized the importance of upholding religious diversity and tolerance in educational institutions. He argued that universities should serve as bastions of intellectual freedom and inclusivity, where individuals of all faiths can freely practice their beliefs without fear of discrimination or marginalization. Furthermore, Bishop Kukah highlighted the historical significance of Christianity in the development of education and healthcare systems across Nigeria, stressing the need to preserve these contributions within the academic sphere. He called upon university authorities and government officials to reconsider their stance and uphold the constitutional right to freedom of religion for all citizens. The directive has also sparked concern among human rights activists and religious leaders across the country, who view it as a step backwards in the quest for religious harmony and mutual respect. They argue that such policies not only undermine Nigeria’s secular principles but also foster division and prejudice among different religious communities. In response to the controversy, university officials have defended their actions, citing security concerns and the need to maintain a conducive academic environment free from religious distractions. They maintain that the policies are aimed at promoting peace and stability on campus, particularly in regions plagued by communal tensions and security challenges. Nevertheless, critics argue that the prohibition of churches on university premises sets a dangerous precedent and could potentially infringe upon the rights of students and staff to practice their faith freely. They call for a more nuanced approach that balances religious freedoms with the imperative of maintaining a harmonious learning environment. As the debate continues to unfold, Bishop Kukah has vowed to mobilize support from religious leaders and civil society organizations to challenge what he describes as a discriminatory policy. He remains steadfast in his commitment to defending the rights of Christians and promoting religious tolerance as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s democratic ethos.

    ENUGU GOVERNOR, PETER MBAH, SIGNS FOUR BILLS INTO LAW, SAYS NO MORE LAND-GRABBING

    ENUGU GOVERNOR, PETER MBAH, SIGNS FOUR BILLS INTO LAW, SAYS NO MORE LAND- GRABBING Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has signed four bills into law, saying they were part of his administration’s effort to make the state the number one in Ease of Doing Business and preferred destination for investment, business, tourism, and living. They are the Enugu State Properties Protection Law, to checkmate the activities of land grabbers; Enugu State Ranch Management Law to stem the tide of open grazing and attract both local and foreign investment in the livestock industry; the Enugu State Sports Development Fund Law to reposition the sports sector as a major source of economic growth and the Enugu State Environmental, and Climate Protection Law. At the ceremony witnessed by the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Uchenna Ugwu and the Clerk of the State Assembly, Dr. Emma Udaya, among other senior government functionaries, Mbah said that with the laws, the days of land-grabbing and open-grazing were numbered. “The Enugu State Properties Protection Law is in line with our promise to enhance the ease of doing business in Enugu State. People, who come to Enugu State to invest in property, must do so in sure knowledge that the title document that is issued to them is worth much more than the paper that it is written on. “That is why we frown at land grabbers, people who go out there to grab land even when they do not have any title to that land. Essentially, this law is designed to penalise such acts. This is a big warning to those people who engage in going to empty plots of land to grab them. Under the new law, there are severe and strict punishments that await people who get themselves involved in such acts”, he said. He also regretted the total misunderstanding of the Ranch Management Agency Law, saying that with the law now in place, people were now expected to rear cows in a civilised manner. “This law, I believe, has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. We had sometime been accused of surreptitiously trying to introduce something beyond just ranching. “However, we have to put an end to the idea of having cattle graze openly and then creating friction between our farmers and herders. Our objective here is to ensure that it ends. “In the 21st Century, there is no reason why we should encourage the open grazing of cattle. So, this law is essentially designed to ensure that people act in a civilised manner. “We are going to ensure that we have enough services, create abattoir and proper cattle market, not where people will come and live,” he said. On the Environmental and Climate Protection Law, he said, “Again, we understand the importance of just going beyond mere lip service in protecting our environment. So, what we have done here today is to set out clear policies and plans for us to protect our environment. We all know the danger that the depletion of the ozone layer poses to us as a people.” Governor Mbah further explained that the Enugu State Sports Development Fund Law would assist the state to “build capacity, nurture talents from the grassroots, encourage school sports, and essentially develop our sports sector.“ “We see sports not just as recreation. We see it as a veritable sector by means of which we can encourage business. And the bill that is signed into law today is going to help us accomplish it,” the governor concluded. He commended the State Assembly for expeditiously passing the various executive bills initiated by his administration, saying such partnership was the beauty of democracy.In his remarks earlier, the Speaker, Hon. Ugwu, expressed happiness that the bills…
