By


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written to the House of Representatives seeking the sum of N500 billion for palliatives to cushion the effect of the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirits (PMS) popularly known as petrol.


Tinubu in the letter also sought an amendment to the 2022 supplementary appropriation Act which will allow the Federal Government (FG) to source the money from the 2022 supplementary Appropriation Act of N819.5 billion.


The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, read the president's letter during plenary on Wednesday.


"I write to request the approval of the House of Representatives for an amendment of the 2022 appropriation act in accordance with the law," Tinubu said.


"The request has become necessary in other to source for funds to provide necessary palliatives to cushion the effect of the recent removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria.


"The sum of N500 billion only has been extracted from the 2022 appropriation act of N819.536 for the provision of palliatives to Nigerians to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.


"I expect that the House will speedily consider the request."


Abbas also said that the lawmakers would consider Tinubu's request at plenary on Thursday.


Labour unions, groups and individuals have urged the FG and 36 state governments to urgently look into the need for palliatives to ameliorate and cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.


Tinubu announced the removal of fuel subsidy in his inaugural speech as president on May 29, 2023.

 Ramadan: Respect Muslims don't eat in public during fasting hours — Cleric tells Nigerians  The Chief Imam, Falomo Lagos Central Mosque, Dr Tajudeen Adebayo, said the public should respect the sensibility of the fasting Muslim faithful by avoiding eating in their presence. Adebayo said that eating in public during the hours of fasting debases the sensibility of those fasting and could discourage people from the self-denial ritual. The Cleric spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday, against the backdrop of some Muslims that were caught eating when they should be fasting. It was reported that Hisbah, the Islamic Police, on Wednesday in Kano arrested 10 men and a female groundnut vendor for allegedly eating in public during the hours of fasting. The Hisbah spokesperson, Mr Lawal Fagge, who confirmed the arrest, said that the men were arrested near a Kano market while the female vendor was caught eating from her wares.

Nnamdi Kanu Will Be Freed But - Reno Omokri Tells Igbos What To Do.

By
Image
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has told Igbos what to do if they want to see their embattled son and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, freed from detention. In a Twitter post on Wednesday (yesterday ), Omokri said Kanu would regain his freedom if only the Igbos could play their cards right. The socio-political activist admonished the Igbo-speaking region to desist from violence and convert IPOB into a political party. According to him, there is more love for the Ndigbo than hatred. Omokri stressed that the Igbos could turn the Southeast into a paradise if only they could stop the violent activities allegedly perpetrated by the IPOB across the region. Tweeting, Omokri wrote: "Play your cards right, and Nnamdi Kanu will be freed. Renounce violence, as the Irish Republican Army did, and convert IPOB into a political party, the way the IRA became Sinn Féin, and democratically seize control of the Southeast, then turn it into a paradise, and ot...

Elon Musk - Twitter Will Start Paying Verified Users For Profile Views.

Twitter owner, Elon Musk, has said that the microblogging platform will soon be paying users for ads appearing when other people view their profiles in what comes as an extension of Twitter's monetization program. This offer is, however, exclusively for verified users, according to Musk. For creators on Twitter who are already getting paid for impressions on their content, the Twitter boss said the new monetization program would make it a double payout. In what appears to be an attempt to woo more users to pay for the blue tick, Musk said several accounts on Twitter could earn thousands of dollars if they become verified. Announcing the new monetization plan via a tweet, Musk said: "You'll soon also be paid for ads appearing when others view your profile page, approximately doubling payouts. "Many accounts on this platform can earn thousands of dollars per month in advertising revenue sharing if they become verified subscribers!" Twitter last week commenced its p...

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

Increasing Fuel Price Is Evidence Of Tinubu's Government Insincerity - CNPP.

By

The Conference Of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has reacted to the recent hike in pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol. CNPP, in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade James Ezema, said that the increment less than 60 days after "the Federal Government announced the removal of subsidy is a fresh pointer that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government has never been sincere with Nigerians on the subsidy issue." The political parties also backed the House of Representatives' move "to investigate the overnight destruction of a vessel with stolen Nigerian crude oil recently without investigation or prosecution of the culprits. "In the last eight years, Nigerians have been subjected to misery as a result of the incessant increment in the pump price of petrol," the statement read in part. "Even after the said removal of subsidy on petrol, the Muhammadu Buhari administration continued to in...
