\"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.

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"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":520},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

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

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"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":520},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Petrol black market sellers are making huge profits as queues persist in few filling stations in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visit round the city by a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday showed that most filling stations did not open for business. Long queues were witnessed in most NNPC stations that were dispensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the Kubwa express way, a litre of petrol officially sold between N158 and N162 was sold by the roadside sellers, otherwise known as black market marketers, for N250 to N300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the sellers who identified himself as Musa, told NAN, \u201cI bought this fuel yesterday from the filling station; I have sold 10 litres for N3,000. Madam, if you want to buy I can sell N2,500, last price\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Conoil, MRS, Rainoil, Mobil, Dan oil, AA Rano and Shema petrol stations along Kubwa express way did not open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that the NNPC had cautioned motorists against panic buying of the commodity, assuring of normalcy in the supply of petroleum products.<\/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"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":520},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Petrol black market sellers are making huge profits as queues persist in few filling stations in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visit round the city by a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday showed that most filling stations did not open for business. Long queues were witnessed in most NNPC stations that were dispensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the Kubwa express way, a litre of petrol officially sold between N158 and N162 was sold by the roadside sellers, otherwise known as black market marketers, for N250 to N300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the sellers who identified himself as Musa, told NAN, \u201cI bought this fuel yesterday from the filling station; I have sold 10 litres for N3,000. Madam, if you want to buy I can sell N2,500, last price\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Conoil, MRS, Rainoil, Mobil, Dan oil, AA Rano and Shema petrol stations along Kubwa express way did not open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that the NNPC had cautioned motorists against panic buying of the commodity, assuring of normalcy in the supply of petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Kennie Obateru, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division said that the long queues currently being experienced was due to the curfew imposed in some states over the #EndSARS protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the curfew affected the free movement of vehicles for the supply of products, but assured of normalcy in a couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe disruptions and curtailment of free flow of vehicular movement occasioned by the #EndSARS protests, the attendant curfews, restrictions and vandalism affect the supply. Normalcy is expected to return to petroleum products supply chain in the next couple of days. There is no need for panic buying, be rest assured that supply will soon return to the entire country,\u201d Obateru said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Petrol black market thrives in Abuja","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"petrol-black-market-thrives-in-abuja","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-29 10:13:18","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-29 10:13:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=963","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":960,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_content":"\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"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":520},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
PRESIDENT BUHARI WELCOMES MAULUD, URGES LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG CITIZENS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Muslims in Nigeria join others all over the world to mark the Eid-el-Maulud, President Muhammadu Buhari has urged all citizens to use the occasion to reflect on the virtues of the Holy Prophet by showing love and understanding to fellow citizens while exhibiting patience, honesty, sincerity, kindness and generosity in all their undertakings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a message to Muslims commemorating the birthday of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) which is being marked as public holiday, the president urged all citizens, and the youth in particular, to shun all negative tendencies as manifested in the recent hijacking of peaceful protests to loot and destroy public and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also reiterated his earlier promise to bring police officers responsible for misconduct as well as the looters to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the COVID-19 pandemic, President Buhari, while noting that the country has so far managed the problem successfully by keeping the numbers as low as possible, however, cautioned that Nigerians must not stretch their luck too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLooking at the trends in the other countries, we must do all we can to avert the second wave of the pandemic. We must make sure that our cases, which have gone down, do not rise again. Our economy is too fragile to bear another round of lockdown,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President, therefore, advised all citizens to continue to observe the COVID-19 protocols of social distancing, wearing of face masks and washing of hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrol black market sellers are making huge profits as queues persist in few filling stations in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visit round the city by a correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday showed that most filling stations did not open for business. Long queues were witnessed in most NNPC stations that were dispensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the Kubwa express way, a litre of petrol officially sold between N158 and N162 was sold by the roadside sellers, otherwise known as black market marketers, for N250 to N300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the sellers who identified himself as Musa, told NAN, \u201cI bought this fuel yesterday from the filling station; I have sold 10 litres for N3,000. Madam, if you want to buy I can sell N2,500, last price\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Conoil, MRS, Rainoil, Mobil, Dan oil, AA Rano and Shema petrol stations along Kubwa express way did not open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that the NNPC had cautioned motorists against panic buying of the commodity, assuring of normalcy in the supply of petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Kennie Obateru, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division said that the long queues currently being experienced was due to the curfew imposed in some states over the #EndSARS protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the curfew affected the free movement of vehicles for the supply of products, but assured of normalcy in a couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe disruptions and curtailment of free flow of vehicular movement occasioned by the #EndSARS protests, the attendant curfews, restrictions and vandalism affect the supply. Normalcy is expected to return to petroleum products supply chain in the next couple of days. There is no need for panic buying, be rest assured that supply will soon return to the entire country,\u201d Obateru said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Petrol black market thrives in Abuja","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"petrol-black-market-thrives-in-abuja","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-29 10:13:18","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-29 10:13:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=963","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":960,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-28 20:26:21","post_content":"\n
