Tinubu's N500 billion CNG Project Shrouded in Secrecy - Senate

By

The Senate has expressed concerns over the lack of transparency in the implementation of President Bola Tinubu administration's N500 billion Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) project.


The upper legislative chamber alleged that members of the Presidential Gas Initiative Steering Committee had "refused" to answer questions before the National Assembly on the N500 billion gas intervention fund of the federal government.


The chairman, Senate committee on gas, Jarigbe Agom, noted that the activities of the committee are "shrouded in secrecy" with "no transparency in their activities".


He stated that both the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the National Assembly are not aware of their activities on the usage of the funds released so far for the implementation of the project.


"There is no transparency in their bidding, as public procurement procedures are not followed in awarding contracts," Agom said during plenary on Wednesday.


"The contracts are awarded to cronies and friends without quality control," he added.


The senator further stressed that several summons by the National Assembly to the steering committee to appear before it to account for the N500 billion palliative fund have been shunned.


He called on President Tinubu to provide a budget to the National Assembly for proper scrutiny and implementation of the gas revolution policy of the federal government.


Senator Agom lamented that a budget for capital expenditure for Ministry of Petroleum Resources was "grossly inadequate" to meet the policy direction of the government for transition from fossil fuels to use for compressed natural gas to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians occasioned by the removal of subsidy.

 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.

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

By

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.

By

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 ...
