BUHARI NEEDS TO UNDERGO A LESSON IN LEADERSHIP FROM NO OTHER PERSON THAN HIS OWN VICE PRESIDENT

***POSITIVE AND WARM BODY LANGUAGE ARE KEY DESIDERATA OF SUCCESSFUL LEADERS*

VP Osinbajo

Vice, sorry, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is an interesting man.
I think he is a deep thinker. He has to be. He is not just a professor of law, he is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
He was for several years, a university teacher and naturally will understand that the warmest teachers teach better.
When students feel relaxed with a particular teacher, the tendency that they will understand him better is very high. We all went to school and we know this is true.
Being warm and good natured is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign a strength. A big one.

In the last couple of weeks, Prof. Osinbajo has visited some states which could be considered "political enemy zones".

He had gone to Anambra to see the INNOSON CAR FACTORY.
He was in Abia to see face to face with shoe and garment makers.

Progress report on the Social Investment Programmes (SIPs) - Osinbajo

The National Home Grown School Feeding scheme, part of our Social Investment Programmes has kicked off in Anambra this past December, in collaboration with the state government. The children have been feeding and enjoying their healthy, well prepared meals.

Generally, the Homegrown School Feeding programme, which is one of the Social Investment plans of the Buhari presidency, is driven through community participation where residents in the community are engaged as cooks to provide feeding services. Also the programme leverages on the agricultural produce available within the communities.

The Homegrown School Feeding programme of the Buhari administration will not only boost school enrollment and improve the nutritional status of the pupils, it would also stimulate local farming, while equally creating jobs including the 774 cooks now in gainful employment in Anambra State.

OSINBAJO: PRESIDENT BUHARI AWARE OF FRUSTRATIONS BUSINESSES HAVE WITH GOVT AGENCIES & WANTS TO END THEM

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, THE VICE PRESIDENT, PROF YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON AT THE MEDIA LAUNCH OF MSME CLINICS AT THE STATE HOUSE BANQUET HALL, ABUJA ON TUESDAY JANUARY 24, 2017

Protocols

I am pleased to be here at this media launch of the MSME Clinics.

Sometime in July 2015 Mr. President spoke to me about the frustrations of anyone who has to do business with government agencies.

He gave the example of an NGO that wanted to install a cancer screening equipment donated by a friendly government several years ago, and it took 7years to finally install it. He said how does the economy function when government agencies are prepared to deliberately or unwittingly frustrate economic agents.

Fundamental Flaw Of Nigeria Structure

The current structure of Nigeria and the thinking that led to it is fundamentally flawed. The crude thinking was to bring "development" to the grassroots under a feeding bottle formula from the center - Abuja (or Lagos before then). So people (politicians) were complaining that "when money gets to Ibadan it is spent in Ibadan (by Ibadan people) and does not reach Oshogbo". Solution: give them Osun State so that money can go to Oshogbo. When money gets to Enugu it is spent by the Nike people. Solution: give them Ebonyi and Anambra so that development can reach there under the same feeding bottle formula.

Army Chief says No Boko Haram in the Southeast, Military battle ready to check all forms of security threat!

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah, has allayed the fear of Nigerians living in the Southeast part of the country over possible infiltration by members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

He said that the few security threat recorded in the zone may not be blamed on the insurgents.

Speaking during his visit to the 34 Artillery Brigade Obinze as part of the familiarization of 82 Division Enugu on Thursday, the COAS, noted that the two incidents in Imo and Abia state allegedly linked to the Islamic Sect may have been the handiwork of some elements within the zone which wanted to take advantage of the insurgency in the country to cause mischief.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APC AND PDP

Although Nuhu Ribadu while porting to the Ruling Peoples Democratc Party said there are no diffrence between the Opposition All Progressive Congress, APC, and his new  rulling party, PDP, but we can actually pick the diffrences between the two.

1. There are only 2 states in Nigeria running Free Education from Primary school to the University (Kano and Imo) APC controlled States

2. There are only two states giving the masses poor masses alternative means of Transportation MONORAIL 1st in Nigeria Electric driven Train Lagos by Fashola and River by Ameachi Controlled by APC.

INEC Extends CVR in 10 States by Two Days

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) taking place in 10 states by two days. This extension is in view of the huge turnout of prospective registrants, and it is intended to give a fair chance to all eligible persons.

The exercise, which was originally scheduled to end on Sunday, 1st June, 2014, will now run till Tuesday, 3rd June 2014, in the following states: Taraba, Gombe, Zamfara, Kebbi, Benue, Kogi, Abia, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom and Bayelsa.

INEC calls on eligible persons in the states involved in the exercise that are yet to register as voters to use the opportunity of this extension to do so.

The Commission hereby reiterates, however, that the CVR is for only the following categories of people:
(i) Persons who turned 18 years after the last registration;
(ii) Persons who were 18 years at the time but did not present themselves for registration; and
(iii) Persons whose data were not adequately captured previously and for whom PVCs were not produced in the last distribution exercise.
