It was reported that the vandalism of petrol trucks by angry protesters forced oil marketers to temporarily suspend the movement of petroleum products, a development which warranted disruptions in supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reacting to the queues that surfaced in Abuja and neighbouring states on Tuesday morning, the NNPC said in a tweet that there was no need for panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said, \u201cThere is no need for panic-buying, rest assured that the NNPC has over two billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit in stock to guarantee steady supply and at least 60-day-product supply sufficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"No need for panic-buying, says NNPC","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"no-need-for-panic-buying-says-nnpc","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-27 13:14:14","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-27 13:14:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=942","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":32},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state has approved the relaxation of the reinstated curfew imposed in Jos South and Jos North Local Government Areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state government said the relaxation of curfew will commence from 6am to 12 midnight beginning from Wednesday 28th October untill further notice. No movement will be allowed between the hours of 12 midnight to 6am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would be recalled that this is the second time that curfew would be relaxed by the state government after hoodlums broke and looted Covid-19 palliatives in different warehouses across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lalong, in a statement through the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Dr. Makut Simon Macham, expressed deep sadness over the level of destruction of both public and private properties and the magnitude of loss recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On youth empowerment, the Speaker said though a lot still needs to be done but that the present government has done a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the young parliamentarians commended the leadership quality of the Speaker for his various interventions on national issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leader of the delegation, Rep. Kabir Tukur a, noted in particular, the proactive measures taken to address Police reforms and EndSARS demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young federal lawmakers also commended the Speaker for his interventions on labour issues in health, education and power sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While presenting the demands of the group to the Speaker, Rep. Tukura said their major concern was a lasting solution to youth restiveness through the allocation of more resources to youth-related matters as well as education, especially vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group also noted that the youth should be given a sense of belonging in government through better representation to enable them to bridge the existing gap, which was part of the reasons for the recent unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, he said, the group would be seeking the amendment of Section 171 of the Constitution to reflect federal character in accommodating the youth and people living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While informing the Speaker of the group's request for an emergency session of the House to discuss its demands, Tukur also added that the group would be seeking his support for the group's push for the establishment of a National Youth Development Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others at the meeting included Deputy Chief Whip, Peter Akpatason and Chairman, Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Relations, Rep. Zakariya'u Galadima, while Rep. Onofiok Luke, Rep. A. G.

The House of Representatives is determined and ready to empower the Nigerian youth to make them competitive globally, the Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila said issues concerning the Nigerian youth have been a priority to the 9th House, which was the reason behind several proactive measures to address them, even before the outbreak of the recent youth protests around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This emerged when Speaker Gbajabiamila met with a group of young lawmakers from the House under the aegis of 'Young Parliamentarians Forum' of the National Assembly in his office, where he reiterated that some of the demands of the youth following the EndSARS protests would be addressed constitutionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"All of us, every segment of the government, especially the House of Representatives, that before the protests took the initiative, debated motions and took far-reaching decisions on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Part of the decision was to reform the Police to accommodate a better, more reformed Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We gave ourselves 30 days, and since then, we've been working night and day, especially with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We thought the best way to go about it is that we amend the Police Service Commission Act, and that has been done and the report has been concluded and soon, it will be published and be on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We are determined to resolve the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) matter, and if we can resolve two out of three issues, I think we would have gone a long way to help the lecturers who are on strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's a bill on vocational education, I think from the 8th Assembly that was even my bill. We\u2019ll pick it up again and pass it to you (Young Parliamentarians Group) to polish it up and add it to whatever ideas you have\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On youth empowerment, the Speaker said though a lot still needs to be done but that the present government has done a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I make bold to say that no government, in Nigerian history from inception, and I stand to be corrected, has put in as much in youth empowerment as this present government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Facts don't lie, a government that has devoted N500bn to youth empowerment every year. There's Trader Moni, N-Power, and several others, they are all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This government has done a lot about youth empowerment and is ready to do more. We can never be bereft of ideas. If you have anything that we need to look at, the House is willing and ready to add to those ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We will be happy to accelerate bills on youth development\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, the young parliamentarians commended the leadership quality of the Speaker for his various interventions on national issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leader of the delegation, Rep. Kabir Tukur a, noted in particular, the proactive measures taken to address Police reforms and EndSARS demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young federal lawmakers also commended the Speaker for his interventions on labour issues in health, education and power sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While presenting the demands of the group to the Speaker, Rep. Tukura said their major concern was a lasting solution to youth restiveness through the allocation of more resources to youth-related matters as well as education, especially vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group also noted that the youth should be given a sense of belonging in government through better representation to enable them to bridge the existing gap, which was part of the reasons for the recent unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, he said, the group would be seeking the amendment of Section 171 of the Constitution to reflect federal character in accommodating the youth and people living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While informing the Speaker of the group's request for an emergency session of the House to discuss its demands, Tukur also added that the group would be seeking his support for the group's push for the establishment of a National Youth Development Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group also noted that the youth should be given a sense of belonging in government through better representation to enable them to bridge the existing gap, which was part of the reasons for the recent unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, he said, the group would be seeking the amendment of Section 171 of the Constitution to reflect federal character in accommodating the youth and people living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House of Representatives is determined and ready to empower the Nigerian youth to make them competitive globally, the Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila said issues concerning the Nigerian youth have been a priority to the 9th House, which was the reason behind several proactive measures to address them, even before the outbreak of the recent youth protests around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This emerged when Speaker Gbajabiamila met with a group of young lawmakers from the House under the aegis of 'Young Parliamentarians Forum' of the National Assembly in his office, where he reiterated that some of the demands of the youth following the EndSARS protests would be addressed constitutionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"All of us, every segment of the government, especially the House of Representatives, that before the protests took the initiative, debated motions and took far-reaching decisions on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Part of the decision was to reform the Police to accommodate a better, more reformed Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We gave ourselves 30 days, and since then, we've been working night and day, especially with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We thought the best way to go about it is that we amend the Police Service Commission Act, and that has been done and the report has been concluded and soon, it will be published and be on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We are determined to resolve the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) matter, and if we can resolve two out of three issues, I think we would have gone a long way to help the lecturers who are on strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's a bill on vocational education, I think from the 8th Assembly that was even my bill. We\u2019ll pick it up again and pass it to you (Young Parliamentarians Group) to polish it up and add it to whatever ideas you have\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On youth empowerment, the Speaker said though a lot still needs to be done but that the present government has done a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I make bold to say that no government, in Nigerian history from inception, and I stand to be corrected, has put in as much in youth empowerment as this present government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Facts don't lie, a government that has devoted N500bn to youth empowerment every year. There's Trader Moni, N-Power, and several others, they are all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This government has done a lot about youth empowerment and is ready to do more. We can never be bereft of ideas. If you have anything that we need to look at, the House is willing and ready to add to those ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We will be happy to accelerate bills on youth development\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, the young parliamentarians commended the leadership quality of the Speaker for his various interventions on national issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leader of the delegation, Rep. Kabir Tukur a, noted in particular, the proactive measures taken to address Police reforms and EndSARS demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young federal lawmakers also commended the Speaker for his interventions on labour issues in health, education and power sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House of Representatives is determined and ready to empower the Nigerian youth to make them competitive globally, the Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila said issues concerning the Nigerian youth have been a priority to the 9th House, which was the reason behind several proactive measures to address them, even before the outbreak of the recent youth protests around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This emerged when Speaker Gbajabiamila met with a group of young lawmakers from the House under the aegis of 'Young Parliamentarians Forum' of the National Assembly in his office, where he reiterated that some of the demands of the youth following the EndSARS protests would be addressed constitutionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"All of us, every segment of the government, especially the House of Representatives, that before the protests took the initiative, debated motions and took far-reaching decisions on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Part of the decision was to reform the Police to accommodate a better, more reformed Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We gave ourselves 30 days, and since then, we've been working night and day, especially with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We thought the best way to go about it is that we amend the Police Service Commission Act, and that has been done and the report has been concluded and soon, it will be published and be on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We are determined to resolve the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) matter, and if we can resolve two out of three issues, I think we would have gone a long way to help the lecturers who are on strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's a bill on vocational education, I think from the 8th Assembly that was even my bill. We\u2019ll pick it up again and pass it to you (Young Parliamentarians Group) to polish it up and add it to whatever ideas you have\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On youth empowerment, the Speaker said though a lot still needs to be done but that the present government has done a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I make bold to say that no government, in Nigerian history from inception, and I stand to be corrected, has put in as much in youth empowerment as this present government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Facts don't lie, a government that has devoted N500bn to youth empowerment every year. There's Trader Moni, N-Power, and several others, they are all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This government has done a lot about youth empowerment and is ready to do more. We can never be bereft of ideas. If you have anything that we need to look at, the House is willing and ready to add to those ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We will be happy to accelerate bills on youth development\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, the young parliamentarians commended the leadership quality of the Speaker for his various interventions on national issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leader of the delegation, Rep. Kabir Tukur a, noted in particular, the proactive measures taken to address Police reforms and EndSARS demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young federal lawmakers also commended the Speaker for his interventions on labour issues in health, education and power sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While presenting the demands of the group to the Speaker, Rep. Tukura said their major concern was a lasting solution to youth restiveness through the allocation of more resources to youth-related matters as well as education, especially vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group also noted that the youth should be given a sense of belonging in government through better representation to enable them to bridge the existing gap, which was part of the reasons for the recent unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, he said, the group would be seeking the amendment of Section 171 of the Constitution to reflect federal character in accommodating the youth and people living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While informing the Speaker of the group's request for an emergency session of the House to discuss its demands, Tukur also added that the group would be seeking his support for the group's push for the establishment of a National Youth Development Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others at the meeting included Deputy Chief Whip, Peter Akpatason and Chairman, Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Relations, Rep. Zakariya'u Galadima, while Rep. Onofiok Luke, Rep. A. G. Suleiman, Rep. Shehu Kale and Rep. Saidu Abdullahi represented the Young Parliamentarian Forum.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila reiterates Reps\u2019 determination to empower Nigerian youths","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-reiterates-reps-determination-to-empower-nigerian-youths","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=960","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":957,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-10-28 20:18:03","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-28 20:18:03","post_content":"\n
