SULTAN: JOS CRISIS, BOKO HARAM PRODUCT OF POOR LEADERSHIP  

Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, yesterday said the Jos crises and the Boko Haram insurgency were direct products of poor leadership at the governmental level.

“Poor leadership at governmental levels is a major cause of our social tensions today, especially the Jos crises and Boko Haram phenomenon,” he said.

Speaking at Harvard Univer-sity in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, while delivering a lecture titled: “Islam and Peace Building in West Africa”, the sultan said the phenomena could only cease if governments at all levels initiate what he called genuine dialogue to begin healing festering wounds and to bring genuine understanding and reconciliation amongst the entire people of Nigeria...#Thisday

FG UNVEILS PROPOSAL TO PHASE OUT FUEL SUBSIDY 

In an apparent move to permanently lay to rest the perennial controversy over the necessity or otherwise of fuel subsidy in the country, the Federal Government has finally come out with a proposal to phase out the policy as from next year.

Indication to this effect was contained in the 2012-2015 Medium Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) sent to the National Assembly.

The communication from President Goodluck Jonathan that unveiled the MTEF, was read on the floors of both chambers yesterday by Senate President David Mark and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal.

DEVT : AMEACHI HARPS ON ECONOMIC LEGISLATION

With about 200 roads under construction in Rivers State, Governor Rotimi Ameachi yesterday urged the National Assembly to approve economic bills forwarded to it by the executive, as such laws were intrumental towards achieving infrastructure revolution in the country.

Speaking at the commencement of a three-day capacity-building retreat for members of the state House of Assembly, at the Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort, Calabar, Cross River State, the governor said no government conscious of development could survive without borrowing.
Ameachi revealed that budgetary provision for capital projects had over the years become inadequate to provide infrastructural facilities considering the increasing cost of governance. He noted that this factor compelled his administration to seek the approval of the state legislature to access loans for roads construction in the state.

He said based on the economic law enacted by the state House of Assembly, the state government was able to obtain a loan of N200 billion, adding that it had  so far been able to access N40 billion at eight per cent interest rate with N5 billion of this already repaid.

“The responsibility of the legislature is enormous. This responsibility is clear in a country that administers by the rule of law. Part of that responsibility is to initiate economic laws that will enable government to run. We sought for a loan of N200 billion but have accessed only N40 billion so far. This money is being used to construct roads in our state...#Thisday

Jonathan spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja when the UNDP Administrator of programmes, Mrs. Helen Clark, visited him. He said the job creation scheme he planned to adopt was youth-based because young people less than 30 years formed a greater percentage of the population of the country...#Thisday
