Why I Joined APC - Alao-Akala

Adebayo Alao-Akala, a former governor of Oyo state, has explained why he joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) and did not
return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former governor of Oyo state Adebayo Alao-Akala explained why he defected to the APC.
It would be recalled that Alao-Akala left the PDP after he had failed to secure the ticket of the party for the 2015 election. The ticket was
given to Teslim Folarin, a former senator, while he eventually contested on the platform of the Labour Party.
In a recent interview with Nigerian Tribune, Alao-Akala explained that he and his supporters decided to join the ruling APC because a natural death awaits the PDP.
“I already said goodbye to the PDP; I would not have gone back to the PDP. What would I have gone back to do in PDP? Those people
that had dissenting voices were not the peoplevwho followed me to Labour Party, so they must be the ones expecting that maybe I would come back to PDP.
“But the decision to leave PDP back then was unanimously taken by my followers, so if some people are expecting me to return to PDP, they are not many; they are very small
in percentage and I will say they are
insignificant. Nobody would have expected me to come back to PDP; the party will soon die a natural death, so there is no way I can go
back to a party that is in comatose.

“At present, PDP is in comatose, why do I have to go and join issues or be part of the people that will bury PDP? I can’t go back to PDP. I have said goodbye to them and I wish
them good luck. I hope they can get a good doctor to revive the party,” he said. When asked if he returns to the PDP after the party’s restructuring and rebuilding, the former governor stated categorically: “I cannot and I won’t return to PDP. The only way I can go back to PDP is if the thing that made me to be going to the APC, if that thing is no more there, maybe I can go back. But to be truthful with you, I am done with PDP and that’s just the truth of the matter.”
Speaking about his decision to join the APC, Alao-Akala noted that he is moving in the direction where the interest of his people will be protected.
“It is my new interest now that brought me to APC. A lot of people that we have the same mindset as to how governance should be done are now in APC. If you look at my
political career very well, my pattern of politics is to move in the direction where the interest of my people will be protected. It is not just about moving sheepishly. A lot of my friends have left the PDP for APC. A lot of my political associates have left the PDP for APC, so what
am I still doing in PDP? In fact, 85 per cent of my political associates are now in APC,” he said.

APC suspends Shehu Sani over El-Rufai criticism

Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central senatorial zone has been suspended by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Tudun Wada ward of Kaduna state on Monday.
He was suspended for anti party activities and for criticism of Governor Nasir El-Rufai's policies. He has been banned from party activities for eleven months.

In a letter to El-Rufai signed by Ahmed Abdulhamid, the secretary of the ward, Auwal Mai Anguwa, the public relations officer, and Aminu Alilan, ex-officio member, the party stated Sani's offences " “violate the
rules of engagement of the party, factionalizing the party, and engaging in anti-party activities by criticizing the policies of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.”

In a reaction, Sani's aide, Suleiman Ahmed stated that those who wrote the letter are trying to stop Sani from voicing out over the anti people policies of El-Rufai's government.
“They are toeing the line of the state
secretariat of the party.

“So our reaction is that those that wrote this letter are ignorant of the party’s constitution and they are dancing to the tune of the state
executive of the party and Governor Nasir El-Rufai,” Ahmed added.

We will Overhaul Buhari's Budget - House

The House of Representatives said on Sunday that it would do a “thorough overhauling” of the 2016 budget to conform it with current economic realities.
It said it was unlikely that the N6.08tn budget would return to President Muhammadu Buhari in
the same content and structure that it came to the National Assembly.
Buhari had presented the budget at a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives last week, with falling prices of crude oil. He had estimated a $38 per barrel price for crude oil, but oil has fallen below that.
House Minority Leader, Leo Ogor said the President should have known that the budget presented was a mere proposal which was not sacrosanct.

“What we have before us are mere proposals. None is sacrosanct.
“That is why we are the legislature, which has the power of appropriation.
“The proposals will be subjected to thorough overhauling, taking into cognisance the current economic realities of the country and our revenue expectations from funding sources,” Ogor added.

Teenage girl dies on Christmas

A teenage girl died on Boxing Day after her dad accidentally shot her in the face with a gun he thought wasn't loaded. Kaitlyn Pullam, 17, died two days after her family
made the heartbreaking decision to switch off her life support machine on Christmas Eve.
The youngster was shot on December 20 at her home in Ohio. Butler County Sheriff Mark Dobbs
told KFVS news her father thought the gun was not loaded and it went off by mistake.

Cops found Kaitlyn in her bedroom unresponsive and a what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to her face.
She didn't have a pulse when officers arrived.
Paramedics rushed her to hospital where her heart restarted, but she remained in a coma until her family were forced into their desperate decision on December 24.

Why Islamic Organizations rejected $3m from Jonathan

Abdullahi Shuaib, the coordinator of
Conference of Islamic Organisations (CIO), has revealed how the group was approached with $3million by the immediate past administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Premium Times reports that two of the Islamic
organisations were offered the said to secure their members’ support towards the re- election of ex-president Jonathan.
Two Islamic groups have said that ex- president Goodluck Jonathan offered them about $3million to support him. Speaking on Saturday, December 26 at the 22nd National Islamic Training Programme held at Odosengolu near Ijebu-Ode, Ogun
state, Shuaib said the CIO and The Muslim Congress rejected the money after they were offered under the label of ‘religious fund’.

He said: “It is not a secret, they came, offering us over $3 million. “We said no… It came through their proxies to us and we said no. And today we have been vindicated.
“It is not even part of our own culture to take bribe. We prefer to go hungry than to collect a bribe from somebody and then eat what is
unlawful.”

On why they rejected the money the CIO official stated that “because we know very well that it was bait; it was a poison and you cannot eat and dine with the devil and think
the devil will not come after you.
“We said clearly no. It is completely un-Islamic. All those organisations that actually took and swallowed the bait, today, they all know what it means for them to have allowed
the devil and themselves to eat and dine with the devil.”
The organisation’s comment is coming in the wake of the EFCC’s prosecution of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who is being accused of mismanaging about $2.1 billion security funds.
And about N4 billion of the money was allegedly given to ex-governor of Sokoto state, Attahiru Bafarawa, to distribute to Islamic organisations.

Former PDP chairman, Haliru Mohammed, and the owner of Daar Communications, Raymond
Dokpesi, are also involved in the allegations. While condemning all those involved in the shady deal, Shuaib said: “It is morally wrong,
it is unethical for any organisation, either Muslim or Christian or traditionalist to have indulged in that reckless looting of treasury, the common wealth and there is no way they can exonerate themselves because they have desecrated the house of God because they
symbolise the House of God and they have desecrated it and it is a sacrilege and it is wrong.
“Ethically it is wrong, morally it is wrong, socially, it is wrong, economically it is wrong, legally it is wrong. And I think, we should
allow the long arm of the law to catch up with them and let the law take it cause over them.”

World's fattest Man dies.

Mexican Manuel Uribe, once recognized as the world's heaviest human being, has passed away
aged 48.

Uribe weighed 560 kilograms before he slimmed down to 394 kilograms.

According to an unnamed official, Uribe had been transported to hospital by crane earlier this month,
due to an abnormal heartbeat and potential liver complications. His mother Otilla Garza Alanís confirmed his health had been poor since May 2, and that complications arose from a burst vein in his leg.

For years Uribe's diet was pizzas, burgers, chips and soda drinks. He led a sedentary life as a computer repair man in America and when he
moved back to Mexico, his weight ballooned further with tacos and fried food.


However, in 2008, Uribe married Claudia Solis, in front of 400 people; the wedding was one of the few times he left his home. He was taken to the wedding by truck in the bed he'd been confined to for six years (see below) and the ceremony was
broadcast on US television. Despite losing weight for the wedding and sticking to his diet, he was still unable to walk in the years following.

#DasukiGate: Ex-PDP chairman, Bello and son charged over N600m

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against a
former National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Haliru Mohammed
Bello, and his son, Abbah, for collecting N600
million from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki. The purpose for collecting the huge sum was not stated but the EFCC alleges the money might have been diverted from the public treasury for political purposes.

The anti-graft agency has approached an Abuja Federal judge to press charges against the father
and son. It was gathered that the two men are likely to be docked on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Abbah Mohammed is alleged to have received N600m from the Office of the NSA (ONSA) in the name of Bam Properties but the reason for the transfer of the money to the company was not disclosed.
The EFCC has already arrested and arraigned many top officials and companies related to the previous
administration for receiving large payments from the ONSA from the funds set aside for the procurement of arms to tackle Boko Haram.

#DasukiGate: Goodluck Jonathan blasts Prof. Sagay

Highly respected Prof Itse Sagay's recent call on ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to confess his role in the arms deal probe has attracted an angry response from the former President's camp.

The immediate past National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki is being probed for mismanagement of $2.1billion and he has mentioned names of top guns in the Jonathan government as part of the fraud.
Sagay, a professor of Law and Chairman Presidential advisory committee on corruption, called on Dasuki's boss, Jonathan to confess confess his involvement in the deal before he is arrested.
The former president's response contained in a statement issued by one of his ministers, Abubakar Sulaiman, suggested that Professor Sagay's statement was unscholarly. According to the statement, He-Sagay “don’t hang a suspect on the pages of newspaper or via social media until he or she is found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction”.

engulfed Northeastern Nigeria.
The President also called on Nigerians to pray for the troops fighting the insurgents.

This was discloses at the presidential villa in Abuja during the visit of a delegation led by the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammadu Bello who paid him a Christmas visit.

Buhari said “ this government

OAU: STATE OF THE UNION, STRUGGLE AND RESUMPTION

Obafemi Awolowo University campus has been a bed of controversies for the past month. Issues ranging from the Students Union attacking a lecturer, protests to demand better welfare, an indefinite mid-semester break to suspension of the Students Union activities.
Students have been at home and in the dark for three weeks and their worries must have heightened at rumours of cancellation of the entire 2014/2015 session.
A statement was released from the quarters of the embattled Students Union executives to clarify the issues on ground. The statement reads:
FROM THE STUDENTS' UNION

THE STATE OF OUR UNION, STRUGGLE AND RESUMPTION

Great Ife, 
It is apposite at this critical point of our union's history to salute the doggedness, tenacity and continous consciousness of members of the Great Ife studentry. The Union will not at this period fail to keep the generality of Great Ife Students abreast as far as the Struggle for better welfare, "Suspension of Union Activities", The query and panel set up on the Professor Y.K Yusuf, Cancellation of Session, Resumption and many other salient developments.

ON THE STRUGGLE FOR BETTER WELFARE
Upon the bad welfare condition we experience on campus ranging from bad water supply to unstable electric supply, dilapidated structures and many others. Great Ife Students saw it no longer bearable most especiallyu after several period of diplomacy without hope in sight. The last straw that broke the camel was the erratic water and light for 3 consecutive days without any memo from the management notifying the public on the development as darkness took over campus for days. A congress of students was demanded and subsequently called on Friday, November 27, 2015. The Congress being the highest decision making organ of the union decided to go on a one day lecture boycott so as to press home our popular demands.
November 30 was massive as thousands came out to register their grievances in a peaceful demonstration. December 1 was greeted with hope of expectation that the administrators would call the union representatives to meeting to address the sordid situation. Rumours got thick that the varsity had been shutdown as Students were to proceed on an indefinite Mid Semester break.

THE FEAR OF CORONATION, CONVOCATION AND REPEAT OF HISTORY
"Tell no lies, Claim no easy victory, tell it to the people the way it is"-Amilcar Cabral
It was well established that the fear of distruption of convocation and a repeat of history was one of the reason the break was imposed, a less than 24 hours demonstration have warranted no shutdown. However, it was surprising as such was not intended and would never be the intention of an administration that brought glory to image of the ivory tower through the union scholarship scheme which saved the studentship of 85 Students. The Union wrote to appropriate quarters to debunk and further assert our concern interest in a genuine and moral course. We wrote and met with the Ooni and promised him a peaceful ceremony. As against the widely spread rumour, the convocation went peaceful and was successful, thanks to the collaraborative effort of the union.

SUSPENSION OF UNION ACTIVITIES, QUERY LETTER AND PANEL
December 2, a circular of evacuation was pasted instructing students to leave campus. On the 3rd of December, another special release with Ref no: RO.2/Vol. VI/180 frrom office of the registrar gave the notice on the Suspension of the Union Activities. A lot of Unions both within and outside have risen to condemn the Suspension of the Students' Union. 
On the 4th of December, three union officers, the President , Gen Sec and the PRO were served official query on account of disruption of EGL 206 Class, Verbally Abuse, Rudeness to the Professor and Refusal to obey Instruction. The union executives responded to these query within the 48 hours ultimatum. 
On the 16th December, 2015, we received a letter inviting us to a panel set up by the university to investigate the Allegation of Distruption of Lecture, Rudeness and Refusal To Obey Instruction of Professor Y.K Yusuf. The Panel was slated for the following day, December 17. At the panel, we explained our side of the story and debunked the allegation of assault on the lecture. Although, we were chastised at the panel for wanting to disrupt the academic calender but we re-affirm to them our unquenchable and unrepentant thirst for Stable Academic Calender which was a cardinal point of our electoral promises, we also demanded quick re-opening of the University. The result of the panel as i write is not out as we have heard that they will report to the University senate.

CANCELATION OF SESSION AND RESUMPTION
Sometimes last week, some reports emanated from some quarters that the University administrators intend to scrap the session, however, the truth have surfaced against such. It is germane to inform you that we have confirmed from good Authorities that the administrators had proposed to members of ASUU a 56 working days leave which will definitely elongate resumption to sometimes in March or April. The ASUU fortunately at their congress kick against the leave and demand immediate opening of the University in January.

WHERE WE ARE
The Professor Y.K Yusuf issue is one the union have been making effort to resolve from the father to children perspective. We never at any time had the intention to disparage the personality of the respected professor. The personality of the professor is one that have always supported the students course. It is however unfortunate that the University is capitalising on this issue. There have several rumours that seems to be affecting the Studentship of the Union leadership, we need the support and prayers of the generality of Great Ife students. Our course is a moral one. It is also imperative to know that the Union has several means suggestable to the management on how to go about the renovation.

SUPPORT FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THE UNION
The Students' Union is at critical stage where it needs the support of the over 30,001 students. The struggle against bad welfare condition is not one for the Students' union leadership alone but the generality of Great Ife Students who have so far shown the substance they are made of as the media has been agog with OAU News in the past few weeks.

STATE OF OUR STRUGGLE
No doubt, this period is a time when our consciousness is put to test. The struggle for improved welfare condition have taken a different dimension which is unprecedented in the histroy of struggle- the heavy publicity of our agitations on the pages of new papers, channels I-reports, sahareporters, and other social media platforms have all redefine students' Union struggle. This demands are being well pressed home as it already get the attention of the presidency, the Ooni of Ife and press commentators. At this junction, Great Ife students should not loss trust in our leadership as we continue to agaitions for re-opening of the
university and improved welfare

ALUTA CONTINUA!!!
VICTORIA ASCERTA!!!

Swallow Your Pride, Stop Blame Game- Murray Bruce

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has reacted to the recent statement made by Lai Mohammed, the
minister of information, blaming former president Goodluck Jonathan’s administration
for the present fuel scarcity.
“Are we going to be told Jonathan is
responsible for harmattan?” Ben Murray-Bruce
woneered.
Briefing journalists after the Federal Executive Council, the minister said that Nigerians are paying for the sins of the last administration.
In a swift reaction, the chairman of Silverbird Group took to his Twitter handle to express indignation and discontent.
Ben-Bruce wondered why the federal
government did not commend Jonathan in June, when electricity improved, but now when there’s
fuel scarcity, it blames the ex-president.

See his tweets below:

So, let me get this right: The fuel scarcity we
are facing today is the fault of an
administration that was voted out 9 months
ago? Issorai!

The Command’s spokesperson, DSP Celestina Kalu, in a statement issued on Tuesday in Asaba,

President Muhammadu Buhari today presented the N6.08 trillion 2016 budget to the National Assembly

He said his government has the will, resources and commitment to deliver to the Nigerian people.

The budget holds record as the highest ever budget in Nigeria.

Ooni of Ife bows in Church, Sparks criticism

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he owes nobody any apology for kneeling down to worship God during the thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Paul’s Anglican Church, Ife, after his coronation.




The Ooni said this in statement in Osogbo on Thursday by the Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Ife, Mr. Moses Olafare.

The monarch spoke in reaction to criticisms against him by an online medium that he knelt down to worship God during the church service.

Ogunwusi said it was wrong to equate any king, no matter his status, with the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth, saying the comment was an attempt to embarrass the throne.

Ogunwusi said since the Almighty God is not Ooni or any king’s mate, he would not stop to worship and revere Him because it was God who enthroned him.

The statement partly read, “It is sacrilege to equate Ooni’risa or other kings to the Almighty God. God is the creator of mankind and it is God that made it possible for the enthronement of any king.                              

“The attention of Ile Oodua has been drawn to a publication released on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 by an online medium, in which His Imperial Majesty, Ooni’risa and Arole Oodua, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), was criticised for bowing to God.

“God remains the highest, the King of kings who has kept all kings alive and has made it possible for me to be crowned as the king of the source of Yoruba civilisation.

“I have no regret whatsoever for kneeling down to exalt the Almighty God, who did not only create me, but also kept me alive, saw me through all the storms in my life journey and eventually crowned me as the custodian of the Oodua race.

“This act of equating me with the God of gods, of the King of kings and the sole owner of the universe is sacrilege planned to embarrass the throne. My emergence as Oba has been made possible only by the Almighty Olodumare, to whom I remain eternally grateful.”

The fear of failure is the beginning of procrastination

Hello guys. How are you today.

Well, I just thought to share this with you.

Have you ever thought of something, say a business idea and before you know it you see someone else start the business.

Well, it has happened to some people including myself and there is always this pang when you see someone doing that thing you thought of sometime ago but procrastinated.

Most times, all we need is to start something no matter how small.

Remember don't despise the days of small beginnings.

I wish you the very best this period.

Have fun and make the most of this period.

I'm more important than Obasanjo- Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State says he is more politically relevant than former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
Fayose added that as the number one citizen of Ekiti State, he wields more power than Obasanjo who “goes to Abuja to beg President Muhammadu Buhari for political favours.”
The governor said this during a press conference in Lagos on Sunday. He said, “I was governor without a godfather. I was governor for three years but Obasanjo took
me out. Obasanjo is now an expired man today and I am still more than relevant. He is expired. He goes to Aso Rock every week to go and beg.
“How many times did Buhari visit him (Obasanjo) when he was President? Buhari did not go to Aso
Rock throughout. He didn’t even go for Council of State meetings. What is Obasanjo looking for in the Villa? A man of 80! What is he looking for?

“He keeps writing to Presidents to nominate ministers for them. That was Goodluck Jonathan’s offence. Enough is enough.”

Gospel Artist Kunle Ayo and his wife speaks about their marriage.

In an exclusive interview with Punch ng, award winning Nigerian gospel artiste, Kunle Ayo, and his wife Adeola speaks about their union.

How did you meet your wife?

Kunle: I met my wife while I was writing the General Certificate of Education examination in 1992/93. I had failed English Language twice consecutively and we met at my third trial. We just exchanged pleasantries and were quite younger at that time. After the examinations, our paths crossed every other year. I attended the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro while she schooled in Ilorin. Over the years, we became friends and I moved to South Africa but we still kept in touch and always met at events. We never really dated, I wanted to date her then but she was not interested. In 2011, I was single again and visited Nigeria. We met, went on a date and I proposed to her later on. We eventually got married and relocated to South Africa.

How did your husband propose to you? Was it romantic?

Adeola: We were actually in the middle of a heated argument when he proposed and I had to let all the fury go.

What were the initial attractions?

Kunle: It was the usual youthful exuberance of young guys wanting to date beautiful girls. She was and still is beautiful.

Adeola: I love his soft-hearted nature and he is a very hardworking man. He encourages me and pushes me hard to be a better person

At what point did you decide to marry her?

Kunle: That was when we met again in 2011; I felt there was something about her that kept bringing her my way. I proposed to her and she accepted immediately because we already knew each other and had been meeting constantly. Also, she realised I was serious.

While you courted, did you feel he could disappoint you at any minute?

Adeola: Somehow, I felt that way but I also realised that we all are not perfect and I was determined to make it work.

Did any of your family members oppose your decision to get married?

Kunle: We were adults and mature enough to know what we wanted.

What were the initial challenges after you got married?

Kunle: I had been living in South Africa for more than nine years at that time and I had a certain orientation about women having dated a few South African women. My concept of what a woman should or not do was quite different when we got married. It was a bit challenging and I had to let go of every preconceived notion. I convinced myself that I wanted to make it work and decided to make it work. It is not the Nigerian culture for a man to wash the dishes or do other chores but I had to make the sacrifices.

As a gospel artiste, were you under pressure to get married?

Kunle: Not really; I was once married to a South African woman and it did not work out so we went our separate ways. I was not under pressure but I just wanted to get married to the right person.

What lessons did you learn from your first marriage?

Kunle: I learnt patience and how to be understanding from my previous relationship. I got to know my spouse, opened myself to understand her and I am happy about it.

How would you describe the marriage so far?

Kunle: It has been fantastic. We still have our issues but I am happy with everything. It was a bit tough in the first year but we overcame it and it became better.

Adeola: It’s been awesome and I thank God that we found a meaningful friendship in each other. We do everything together from praying together, working together, eating together, traveling together and more.

How would you describe your wife?

Kunle: She is a very perceptive woman, she is my best friend and always sure of herself. She is bold and courageous and she is a wonderful person. She could come across as being difficult sometimes because she does not pretend, but she has a sweet soul.

How often do you have misunderstandings and who apologises first?

Adeola: I am a bit stubborn but he is very understanding and tries to apologise first even when I know I am wrong.

Kunle: I am very quick with the apologies and quick to say sorry. I realised that it takes a while for people to say it. She has learnt from me apologises.

What are some of the things she does to get you angry?

Kunle: She gets me angry every day, but I know she means well for me so I always get over it.

What things would you like to change about him?

Adeola: He trusts people easily and they disappoint him most of the time. I just wish he can be firmer in some decisions he makes.

What are some of the things you do not like about him?

Adeola: He runs late for meetings, rehearsals and I do not like it as I want him to always be on time.

As his manager, how do you both handle erring fans, especially of the opposite sex?

Adeola: We both try to be cool and if we observe members of the opposite sex coming on strong, we avoid them and don’t lead them on. We try to keep it friendly, professional but not chase them away.

As a celebrity, what are some of the things you do to ensure you have a successful marriage and protect it from scandal?

Kunle: My marriage is between my wife and I; I am open in my dealings with her and I am truthful as well. We run our business together and she is my manager so it is difficult to separate my personal life from my business life with her.

How do you spend time as a couple?

Kunle: We have movie nights sometimes and because women like to talk, overtime I have come to enjoy having her narrate the movies to me. But sometimes when I have event to perform, I need my time and space to be creative. She understands that now.

With your artiste-manager status, do you both run a joint bank account?

Kunle: We run separate accounts but she has access to the company account. When a client makes payment into the account, she is able to disburse the funds. But recently, I opened a separate account because some women are not good with savings. Sometimes they do not understand that money that is being saved is meant for a particular purpose.

What would be your advice to celebrities?

Kunle: I would advise them to be truthful and open and make all efforts to make their marriage work, although it can be difficult. There is nothing as good as being married and staying married.

What would be your advice to intending couples and celebrity spouses?

Adeola: They should marry their best friend and not be pushed into making wrong decisions in life. I met Kunle when we were writing our GCE exams over 23years ago and somehow we just never lost touch. Our paths crossed year after year and finally reunited in 2011 and got married 2013. It seems like a long time but God saved the best for me.

What pet names do you call her?

Kunle: I call her a funny name, Munchu Kumchu

Adeola: I call him Babes.

N6 trillion budget is realizable says Prof. Anyanwu

Prof. Sarah Anyanwu, the Head of Economics Department, University of Abuja, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the Fedeeral Government’s N6 trillion budget proposal for 2016 is achievable with prudent management of funds and transparency.

According to her, the budget was realizable if the Federal Government could reform its tax method and diversify the economy to generate more revenue to implement the budget.

She said; “The tax administration is very poor in Nigeria; some citizens pay their taxes, some do not pay at all and majority of those that are even paying are not paying the correct amount.

“I know civil servants pay their taxes correctly but some companies have been defaulting so the government should set up better machinery to collect correct taxes. We cannot continue to borrow; the government should also look for other forms of taxes to boost the revenue to fund the budget. We should also develop the non-oil sector such as telecommunication, tourism, agriculture, and solid minerals to generate employment in the country,”
