The Federal Government has proposed to spend N65 billion on the Presidential Amnesty Programme and the reintegration of transformed ex-militants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is contained in the 2021 budget that is already before the National Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari presented a budget of N13.08 trillion to the joint session of the National Assembly last Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of the proposal according to the budget document is the plan to spend N65 billion on the programme, which is aimed at keeping the oil region peaceful for production of crude oil, which is the country's main source of budget financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The execitive also plan to spend another \u20a65billion \u201cfor outsourced services\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Presidential Amnesty Programme and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) have been plagued with allegations of corruption in recent time. Also, Federal Government has budgeted N15 billion for the settlement of local contractors in the 2021 budget. In August, contractors under the aegis of Local Contractors of Nigeria picketed the Federal Ministry of Finance demanding to be paid for contracts executed three to 12 years ago and running into billions of Naira in various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2021 budget also set aside N5,750,380,668 for settlement of ex-workers of defunct Nigeria Airways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also for next year, the government has made provision to inject N15 billion into \u201cDevelopment Finance Institution (DFI).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the budget did not specify if the N15 billion is for all the DFIs or just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plans have been on to recapitalise the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) with 2021 as the target year for additional funds to be injected into the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injection of additional capital into the DBN will boost its capacity to fund more Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next year, the government will release a grant of \u20a610 billion \u201cto BoI to support low-interest lending to SMEs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from DBN, other Development Finance Institutions in Nigeria include the Bank of Agriculture (BOA); Bank of Industry (BoI); Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN); Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) and The Infrastructure Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under Service Wide Vote in 2021, N25 billion has been earmarked for special intervention; \u20a65 billion to settle MDAs electricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N17,899,000,000 will be refunded into the special account, and another \u20a616,703,390,000 will be returned to the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) while \u20a620 billion will be spent on special intervention programmes and projects next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20a615,000,000,000 will spent on subscription to shares in international organizations and NI billion on the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for scraping the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila said in a statement by his spokesman, Lanre Lasisi, that the dissolution of SARS was a necessary response by the government to the outcry arising from multiple documented excesses of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila also commended Nigerians who saw a wrong and sought to make it right, who saw injustice and acted to put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The House had on Wednesday rose against brutality of SARS officers, passing some vital resolutions on the matter and demanded the IGP to take decisive action against the brutality and human rights violation by SARS officers and report the said action to the Green Chamber within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and the broader, ongoing reforms of the police that will follow, are a testament to the passion and resilience of a generation of Nigerians who determined not to accept or tolerate injustice in whatever form it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar Adamu to take practical steps to support and enforce this policy pronouncement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \"These steps are necessary to assure the Nigerian people that the announced dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is sincere and well-intentioned, and not merely meant to quell the ongoing protests across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) must also act to identify and punish those operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) involved in the most severe cases of abuse of rights, brutality and murder of Nigerian citizens.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila noted with displeasure the police's manhandling of the some protesters, who came out in numbers to protest peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker assured all Nigerians that the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) will not preclude the ongoing efforts by the House of Representatives to effect reforms of the police through legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With regards to reforming the police, the House resolved to take immediate steps to amend existing laws and the the 1999 Constitution to excise Section 215 (5) and replace it with provisions that ensure judicial review of police actions are enshrined and protected by the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the House resolved to establish a framework for holding individual members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) accountable for their conduct in the course of performing their lawful duties, including criminal and civil liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was equally resolved that the Nigeria Police Force would be allowed to bear civil liability for failures in their conduct and operational procedures that lead to violations of citizens' rights.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila commends Buhari, IGP for dissolving SARS","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-commends-buhari-igp-for-dissolving-sars","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=527","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":526},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
Ajulo explained that the failure of PDP to have to a united house for the election led to its defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the legal luminary, several Governors within the umbrella of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) supported the candidate of the Zenith Labor Congress (ZLP) Barr. Agboola Ajayi who left the PDP for the ZLP after the conduct of the Party\u2019s Primary after he lost to Eyitayo Jegede SAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also explained that the party would have had a better shot at winning if the party flag bearer had emulated the tactic of APC flag bearer who stoop to conquer by making peace with all his old and new adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" I'm disturbed that the PDP flag bearer failed to be on the same page with his former Principal, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and this unfortunately helped Arakunrin Akeredolu, SAN fortunes as PDP went into the election with a cracked wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dWhere are all State Governors and national party leaders of the party, they even tried to beat up Ayodele Fayose during one of the campaign rallies,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on the general conduct of the poll, Ajulo said the election was characterised by issue of vote buying on election day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against the popular notion that the case of vote buying was only common to the All Progressive Congress (APC), he said that all the parties were equally guity in the process, particularly the three leading political parties, APC, PDP & ZLP tried in the game of outspending and overreaching one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that the only difference was the financial strategy, wit and coordination of the political parties involved to facilitate this act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrister Kayode Ajulo has given reasons for the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last Saturday Ondo governorship election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Governor Rotimi Akeredolu the governor-elect in Ondo poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
INEC Returning Officer, Prof Idowu Olayinka, declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) winner with 292,830 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Eyitayo Jegede polled 195,791 while Agboola Ajayi of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) scored 69,127 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ajulo explained that the failure of PDP to have to a united house for the election led to its defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the legal luminary, several Governors within the umbrella of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) supported the candidate of the Zenith Labor Congress (ZLP) Barr. Agboola Ajayi who left the PDP for the ZLP after the conduct of the Party\u2019s Primary after he lost to Eyitayo Jegede SAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also explained that the party would have had a better shot at winning if the party flag bearer had emulated the tactic of APC flag bearer who stoop to conquer by making peace with all his old and new adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" I'm disturbed that the PDP flag bearer failed to be on the same page with his former Principal, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and this unfortunately helped Arakunrin Akeredolu, SAN fortunes as PDP went into the election with a cracked wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dWhere are all State Governors and national party leaders of the party, they even tried to beat up Ayodele Fayose during one of the campaign rallies,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on the general conduct of the poll, Ajulo said the election was characterised by issue of vote buying on election day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against the popular notion that the case of vote buying was only common to the All Progressive Congress (APC), he said that all the parties were equally guity in the process, particularly the three leading political parties, APC, PDP & ZLP tried in the game of outspending and overreaching one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that the only difference was the financial strategy, wit and coordination of the political parties involved to facilitate this act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Abuja based lawyer also praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the peaceful conduct of the election in the State while also enjoining the body to strive to do better in subsequent elections in the Country.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Barr Ajulo gives reasons for PDP defeat in Ondo poll","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"barr-ajulo-gives-reasons-for-pdp-defeat-in-ondo-poll","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-11 22:19:25","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-11 22:19:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":527,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_content":"\n

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for scraping the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila said in a statement by his spokesman, Lanre Lasisi, that the dissolution of SARS was a necessary response by the government to the outcry arising from multiple documented excesses of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila also commended Nigerians who saw a wrong and sought to make it right, who saw injustice and acted to put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The House had on Wednesday rose against brutality of SARS officers, passing some vital resolutions on the matter and demanded the IGP to take decisive action against the brutality and human rights violation by SARS officers and report the said action to the Green Chamber within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and the broader, ongoing reforms of the police that will follow, are a testament to the passion and resilience of a generation of Nigerians who determined not to accept or tolerate injustice in whatever form it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar Adamu to take practical steps to support and enforce this policy pronouncement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \"These steps are necessary to assure the Nigerian people that the announced dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is sincere and well-intentioned, and not merely meant to quell the ongoing protests across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) must also act to identify and punish those operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) involved in the most severe cases of abuse of rights, brutality and murder of Nigerian citizens.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila noted with displeasure the police's manhandling of the some protesters, who came out in numbers to protest peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
