<br />
 They were the first set of ministerial nominees to be screened.<span style="font-size: medium;">For over five hours yesterday, 10 
would-be ministers took turns before the Senate, answering questions on 
their plans for the country, if confirmed.</span>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
They are on the first list of 21 nominees sent to Senate President Bukola Saraki on September 30 by President Muhammadu Buhari.<br />
<br />
The remaining 11 on the list are expected to appear before the Senate today.<br />
<br />
The ministers that was screened yesterday are Senator Udoma Udo-Udoma (Akwa Ibom State), 
former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, Chief Audu Ogbeh (Benue), Dr.
 Ogbonnaya Onu (Ebonyi), Dr. Osagie Ehanire (Edo), Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman 
Danbazzau (Kano), Alhaji Lai Mohammed (Kwara), Mrs. Amina Ibrahim 
Mohammed (Gombe), Suleiman Adamu and Ibrahim Jibrin.<br />
<br />

<b>Senator Udoma Udo Udoma</b><br />
A ministerial nominee from Akwa Ibom, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, set the ball rolling.<br />
He was then asked to take a “bow and go.”<br />

<br />
<b>Kayode Fayemi</b><br />
Called up for the exercise and grilled especially over his stint as 
governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi challenged anyone to produce an 
invoice of 50 million naira bed he was accused of buying in the state 
house during his tenure.”I challenge anyone to bring an invoice of a bed
 in the state house that is worth N50m. <br />
<br />
I used my relationship to raise a lot of funds 
with institutions like the World bank, DFID etc. There is no country 
that does not borrow. I did not borrow to pay salaries.”I did not spend irresponsibly on it. It is probably one of the cheapest 
state houses in Nigeria. <br />
<br />
His successor, Governor Ayodele Fayose, had accused Fayemi of reckless 
spending, alleging that the former governor left the state in debt.<br />
<br />
On national issues, he said that national educational system should be 
reviewed and made attractive for the citizen, adding that the nation’s 
domestic agenda does not drive the country’s foreign policy.<br />
<br /> 
Therefore, there is need for devolution of power in Nigeria.According to him, there was much gap between the rich and the poor, 
adding, “there is too much concentration of power at the centre,Corruption must be tackled headlong.<br />
<br />
<br /> 
The amount of leakages in our 
revenues is unacceptable, and must be promptly addressed. We have to 
reduce our recurrent expenditures and increase our capital expenditures 
in this country, otherwise we won’t be able to develop meaningfully. We 
have to diversify our economy,and it is achievable.’<br />
<br />
<b>Lt. Gen Abdulrahman Dambazzau</b><br />
On the Boko Harm insurgency, he said: “The soldiers are at risk and if 
care is not taken some could lose their lives, if a new soldier loses 
his life, there is death gratuity for him apart from other benefits 
deriveable by his family. When it was his time, former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Abdulrahman 
Dambazzau, who called for constant review of the nation’s defence 
policy, said: “Defence policy of Nigeria needs constant review because 
it should centre on the best way to use the military to tackle 
challenges and come up with order of battle.But these could be reviewed upward. We have 
not been taken  advantage of the United Nations reimbursement system, 
other countries used it to maintain their armed forces but Nigeria 
relies on annual budget.
“We can use the UN reimbursement to procure critical equipment while 
greater percentage of the annual budget could be channeled towards 
welfare to boost the morale of the personnel.
On clashes between the Fulani herdsmen and farmers, he said the 
development was unfortunate and affecting production, adding that the 
climate change was causing desertification.<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Ibrahim Usman Jibril</b><br />
For Ibrahim Usman Jibril, unless the issue of compensation and 
resettlement was addressed in the Federal Capital Territory, the 
haphazard development in the nation’s capital will not be addressed.<br />

<br />
<b>Audu Ogbeh</b><br /> “The major problem facing 
the nation’s political system is the lack of internal democracy in the 
political parties. Another problem is the tendency for the party in 
power to surrender its authority to the President or the state 
governors.’’In his presentation, former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic 
Party, PDP, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who noted that he was not looking for 
anything new, said that the president and governors should no longer be 
given the status of the leader of the party.On agriculture, Ogbeh said: “I am not here because I am looking for anything new. I am here because I believe I can do the job.
On what he would do to bring about change in agriculture if appointed as
 Agriculture minister, he said: “Since I have been travelling, seeking 
to know how other countries got it well. Here, we have very bad seeds. 
There is no seed company in Nigeria. He said breed and nutrition were 
some of the factors. Interest rate also affects agriculture in Nigeria. 
With 20 to 25 per cent interest rate, it is difficult to invest and make
 profit in agriculture.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu</b><br />
“Nigeria produces crude oil but we are importing fuel; doing a lot of 
farming but importing food stuff. We need to pay greater attention in 
the area of power generation.In his presentation, former governor of old Abia State, Dr. Ogbonnaya 
Onu said: “The country is currently passing through serious 
socio-economic challenges, and all men and women in this country should 
put their differences aside and let’s tackle the problems together.We need to diversify our sources of power generation. Let’s utilize coal
 as one of our sources. And Nigerian coal is one of the best in the 
world because of its low sulphur content. We are essentially a consumer 
nation, and this is not good for our socio-economic existence. We have 
to improve and become a producer nation.”<br />
<br />
<b>Suleiman Adamu</b><br />
Suleiman Adamu, addressed the senators briefly, he was later asked to take a ” bow and go.”<br />
<br />
<b>
</b> <b>Dr Osagie Ehanire</b><br />
I think that many people that go to hospital don’t get desired 
attention. I canvassed orientation programmes for hospital workers. 
Health insurance is still at infancy. It is being studied right now to 
be applied in communities.On his part, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, who noted that our health system was 
bad, said, “The fight against corruption should be extended to the 
health sector.Priority should be given to rural health and one of the issues on focus 
should be hygiene. The traditional medicine practitioners have a lot to 
contribute. Many of the drugs we use today came from native medicine.<br />
Traditional medicine has to be better regulated because it is dangerous to allow people who are ignorant to work on citizens.”<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Amina Ibrahim</b><br />Lai Mohammed who bowed to PDP leadership three times, APC leadership 
four times, bowed six times before Senate President Saraki, a gesture 
that elicited further applause.Also in her contribution, Amina Ibrahim warned that with the present 
economic situation, realising Vision 2020 is no longer feasible for the 
country.There was however drama when the APC National Publicity Secretary, 
Alhaji Lai Mohammed appeared in the Senate chamber at 3.25pm. As he 
entered, there was laud applause mostly by APC Senators.
Senate President Saraki then announced, “ the nominee before you Distinguished Senators is from Kwara State.”
It was apparent that the gesture was well understood by the lawmakers.
He then asked if Senators have Mohammed’s CV. There was deafening “yes, yes, yes” in the chamber.

Even before Saraki could conclude, Senate Leader, Senator Mohammed Ali 
Ndume, stood up from his seat and moved that “Alhaji Lai Mohammed is 
very well known to this chamber. I move that he should take a bow and 
go.”
The chamber became some what rowdy as PDP senators, in a way, opposed the motion.
Senator Saraki said that Mohammed should tell the chamber a little about himself in line with the convention of the Senate.
Mohammed complied and introduced himself, adding that he was in the 
chamber to seek the support of the Senators to be confirmed as minister,
 saying that it demands higher service to be in government.
All the 10 ministerial nominees that faced the senators on Tuesday have been confirmed as ministers.
The exercise will continue on Wednesday with the screening of second set of nominees.
<b>NigerianEye</b> gathered that another 10 nominees would be screened 
on Wednesday while all the nominees, including those in the second 
batch, would be screened and confirmed on Thursday.

They were the first set of ministerial nominees to be screened. For over five hours yesterday, 10 would-be ministers took turns befo...

President Muhammadu Buhari may have ruled
 out a second term for the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
 Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde,<em> </em>Former President Goodluck Jonathan had on
 November 23, 2011 named Lamorde the commission’s acting chairman, after
 sacking Mrs. Farida Waziri as the chairman.His appointment was later confirmed by the Senate on February 15, 2012.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The EFCC boss will complete his four-year term next month.The source said the decision to name 
another chairman for the commission at the expiration of Lamorde’s 
tenure was taken because of the lull in the EFCC’s activities over the 
years.A top Presidency source told our 
correspondent on Thursday that it was almost concluded that Buhari would
 not renew Lamorde’s tenure.“The impression is that the commission 
under Lamorde has been sleeping since. Their recent publicised 
activities are seen as just ways of impressing the President and the man
 (Buhari) cannot be fooled,” the official said.The source however said it was not clear yet who the President is considering to take over from Lamorde.Ahead of the expiration of his tenure, 
media reports had it that Lamorde is currently being investigated over 
allegations of diversion of over N1tn from the sale of confiscated 
properties belonging to convicted public officials, including a former 
governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyesiegha and a former 
Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun, among many others.But the government official told our 
correspondent that Buhari did not necessarily have to order for his 
probe when the Senate was already investigating the same matter.He attributed the reports of alleged probe to what he called “the politics of succession” in the commission.The decision to probe him was said to 
have been taken after one George Uboh appeared before the Senate 
Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on August 23, where
 he alleged that Lamorde dipped his hands into the said funds.“The President does not need to order a probe of what is already a subject of the Senate’s investigation.“Since the man is leaving office next 
month, it is natural that politics of succession would have started and 
that may be responsible for the reports.“Those who think the President may be 
considering a renewal of tenure for him will naturally come up with such
 reports,” he added.The Special Adviser to the President on 
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said he had no information on the
 matter when approached on Thursday.When the EFCC was created in 2003, Lamorde was made Director of Operations under the pioneer chairman, Nuhu Ribadu.In December 2007 when Ribadu was removed 
by President Umaru Yar’Adua, Lamorde took over as Acting Chairman in 
January 2008, holding this position until Waziri was appointed 
Chairperson in May 2008.He was then posted to Ningi in Bauchi State.In December 2010, Lamorde returned to the
 EFCC, again as the Director of Operations. He replaced Stephen Otitoju,
 the acting Director of Operations.</div>

“These are the same old names, ordinary Nigerians who the President 
knows and he must have even met them several times. So, what is 
particular about them that he wasted so much time in appointing them 
ministers.“But there are about two or three who I can say are distinguished 
among them like, Audu Ogbeh who I have known for a very long time.A former Governor of Kaduna state, Malam Balarabe Musa, says he is 
disappointed at President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list arguing 
that that there is nothing spectacular about the names.According to him, “why did it take the President four months to come 
up with these names? I believe this is the question that many informed 
Nigerians should ask.The Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced to the Senators 21 ministerial nominees.They were contained in the list forwarded to him last week Wednesday, September 30 by President Muhammadu Buhari.We were together during the Second Republic. “He was a minister while
 I was governor then. Audu Ogbeh has an outstanding public record that 
everybody knows.”<br />

The nominees are, Abubakar Malami (SAN): Abdurahman Bello Dambazzau; 
Aisha Jumai Al Hassan; Alhaji Lai Mohammed; Babatunde Raji Fashola; 
Adebayo Shittu; Solomon Dalong; Senator Chris Ngige; Rotimi Amaechi; and

Martins made the appeal in his Eid el-Kabir message in Lagos on 
Thursday, saying there was a need for Muslims and all Nigerians to use 
the period to seek for God’s mercy on the country.The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, the Most Rev. Alfred Adewale 
Martins, has urged Muslims also to use the Eid el-Kabir period to pray for 
quick and lasting end of insurgency in Nigeria.He urged Muslims to emulate the exemplary life of  Prophet 
Ibrahim (Abraham) who was willing to sacrifice his only son in obedience
 to divine ordinance.He advised the president to be cautious while negotiating with members of the Boko Haram sect.Martins commended President Muhammadu Buhari for giving the military 
three months to end insurgency but urged Nigerians not relent in their 
prayers as all human efforts without prayers were futile.“We are in support of the president exhausting all possible and 
realistic means of bringing back our girls and ensuring lasting peace in
 the Northeast.“We urge him to be cautious of the far reaching implications of every
 such move in view of the sensitive nature of the matter at hand,” 
Martins said.

Israal support Nigeria to end Boko Haram.

09:40:00 Unknown

According to the special adviser on media and public affairs to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Turaki Hassan, the Speaker of Israali parliament, Knesset Mr. Yuli-Yoel Edelstein, disclosed this during a meeting with Yakubu Dogara on the sildelines of the ongoing Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in New York.<br />
<br />
President Muhammadu Buhari’s drive to rout Boko Haram insurgents before end of the year has received a global boost, as the Israeli government has promised to provide support and assistance in achieving the deadline set by the  Boko Haram.<br />
<br />
 Dogara had solicited for Israal`s support to Nigeria to help end Boko Haram and other security challenges, in addition to attracting investments in agriculture, solid minerals, energy and tourism.

Dogara also called for the establishment of Nigeria-Isreal parliamentary friendship group to help deepen bilateral relations between the two countries.<br />
