Although the reason for the adjustments was not stated, it is believed that the removal of the former Secretary to the State Government was because he is a close ally and confidant of the former Governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Presidency lists President Buhari’s achievements after first year in office

Posted: 28 May 2016 04:58 AM PDT

The presidency has released a list detailing all the achievements of President Buhari in the last one year. He marks one year in office tomorrow May 29th. The list as published by the News Agency of Nigeria contains the following:


SECURITY:
  • The relocation of the Nigerian Military Command Centre to Maiduguri, since May 2015, contributed to the success in the fight against insurgency in the North Eastern part of the country.
  • As at February 2016, the total number of persons rescued by the Nigerian troops during the ongoing operations in the North East came to 11,595
  • Since December 2015, the well-motivated and rejuvenated Nigerian Military have regained all Nigerian territories previously under Boko Haram control.
  • Prioritized regional cooperation in the fight against Boko Haram insurgency and violent extremism, through the operations of the 8,500 strong Multi-National Joint Task Force in N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, currently headed by a Nigeria military general.
  • Nigeria has provided $21million USD to the Task Force since June 2015 and is committed to an additional $79 million USD, bringing the total of Nigeria's commitment to the Task Force to 100 million USD.
  • Cohesive international support in the fight against terrorism and assistance to victims and communities affected by terrorism, following President Buhari's meeting with G7 leaders and other world powers.
  • In May 2016, Nigeria hosted a Regional Security Summit to boost military operations against Boko Haram and forge a global support for the rehabilitation of the IDPs and rebuilding of the North East.
  • In June 2015, the United States announced a 5-million-dollar support for the fight against the terrorists in the sub-region.
  • In April 2016, during the visit to Ms Samantha Power, the U.S Ambassador to the UN to Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad, the U.S Government further announced an additional $40 million USD for humanitarian assistance in the sub-region
  • Recruitment of additional 10,000 persons into the Nigeria Police Force is ongoing. The recruitment will address the manpower gap which currently exists in the Nigeria Police
  • Overhaul of the dysfunctional topmost hierarchy of the Nigerian military which resulted in optimal result and degradation of the Boko Haram elements.
  • Was able to bring back our hitherto military allies; which saw the United States and UK governments commit their resources to the fight against the insurgents after previously backing out of negotiations with the previous administration. The Israeli government has also indicated interest in the fight against insurgency.
  • Introduction of the motor cycle battalion (This is so that the Nigerian Army can travel to remote areas that were not accessible to cars/trucks)
  • Realigned our partnership with regional allies by embarking on foreign visits which resulted in bilateral and multilateral agreements to tackle insecurity back home.
  • No more roadblocks and curfews, which normally impeded free flow of movement.
  • Continuous monitoring of activities in the region of war through the use of satellite images and geographical information system is helping in fighting insurgency and strategizing against the enemy.
  • The trips to our neighbouring countries showed the resolve of the President to push Boko Haram elements out of existence by going for the jugular of the group, cutting their arms, food supply routes. Support has thus been mobilized through the Multinational Joint Task Force.
  • Another major stride is the Trans National Organized Crime (TNOC) where the president got partnership with regional allies in the fight against the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons.
  • As part of the reconfigured military partnership, the United States donated 24 mine-resistant armoured vehicles (MRAP) which had protected the Nigerian troops from the menace of Improvised Explosive Devices. Today we have less causalities.
  • Reached out to the G7 countries and achieved the following: intelligence sharing; technical military training; arms deals/donations
  • Overhauling of NIMASA. A reversed policy of the past administration where national infrastructural assets were given to militia leaders to protect as against established bodies like the Nigerian Navy was stopped.
  • The President Buhari government has drafted the army to partner with other security agencies in ensuring the security of our national infrastructure and this is already yielding the desired results.
  • A major ring of pipeline vandals in Lagos state were captured recently in a joint operation by security forces led by the army.
  • The government has renewed its fight against oil bunkering
  • The Nigerian Navy has recorded tremendous success lately in apprehending vessels used by oil thieves. This operation has improved security on our water ways and it has also helped improve the revenue of government.
  • Deployment of sophisticated weapons to ensure vandalism is contained by setting up a pipeline security force in stamping out the menace.
  • Effective Management of the Separatist Biafran Movement
  • Improving the technical capacity of Nigerian Police Force. We now have a forensic lab and GSM tracking device. We now have a more IT integrated Police force.
  • Restructuring of Nigerian Immigration to stop cross border crimes.
  • NSCDC has become more proactive in the prevention of pipeline vandalization, with arrest of several pipeline vandals.
  • Joint operations involving various security outfits in curbing the menace of the herdsmen in the country has been set up.
  • The use of surveys and updated mappings across the country as strategies for preventing threats among ethnic groups in Nigeria.
CORRUPTION
  • Right from the moment he won the Presidential Election in 2015, the impression of the President as a ''no nonsense and incorruptible leader'' sent a signal to looters of public funds, with many of them returning funds that had been stolen under the previous administration.
  • To create a frame work for prosecuting the war against corruption and institutionalize probity, President Buhari set up an Advisory Committee on War Against Corruption.
  • The anti-corruption battle is gaining ground with several high profile cases already in the courts. The administration is being guided by the rule of law in the prosecution of corruption cases.
  • President Buhari enlisted the support of multilateral institutions like the World Bank and IMF, security agencies, Western countries and other friendly nations to locate and repatriate stolen assets.
  • At a London summit on anti-corruption, President Buhari announced that Nigeria will begin the full implementation of the principles of the OPEN contracting data standards.
  • In the first quarter of 2016, President Buhari embarked on trips to the Middle East to sensitize the governments on the need to repatriate stolen assets and hand over the looters for trial in Nigeria. In January, Nigeria and UAE signed Judicial Agreements on Extradition, Transfer of Sentenced Persons, Mutual Legal Assistance on Criminal Matters.
  • In March 2016, the Federal Government and the Swiss Government signed a Letter of Intent On the Restitution of Illegally-Acquired Assets forfeited in Switzerland. Under the agreement, Switzerland will repatriate $ 321 million USD illicitly acquired by the Gen. Sani Abacha family.
  • In March 2016, the Presidential Committee set up to probe contracts awarded by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) from 2011 to 2015 announced the recovery of over N7 billion from indicted companies and individuals.
ECONOMY
  • Implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) has provided greater visibility of government revenues and cash flows. Between June 2015 and April 2016, the Federal Government TSA collection clocked N3trillion.
  • To further instill fiscal discipline, President Buhari directed the closure of all multiple accounts in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government, thereby plugging loopholes for leakages with new technology.
  • The opaque accounting structure of the NNPC has been reconstructed to be more transparent with the closure of more than 40 accounts. As a corporate entity, NNPC is now accountable and more transparent in operations, publishing its monthly financial reports.
  • The President also resolved the lingering shadowy oil swap deals that had cost the country billions of dollars and left it at the mercy of a few rich Nigerians.
  • To alleviate the suffering of Nigerians in September 2015, President Buhari directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to disburse N689.5 billion as bailout to 27 states of the federation to pay salaries.
  • To stimulate the economy and reduce poverty, in April, 2016, President Buhari approved deferment in the payment of the bailout as states were still reeling under the burden of the fall in commodity prices.
  • Records of more than 34,000 ghost workers draining the nation's resources were expunged from the Federal Civil Service, saving N2.29 billion monthly.
  • In 2015, President Buhari ruled out the appointment of a government delegation for pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. By this decision, the government saved about one million U.S dollars and N30m of local expenses
  • Enforcement of the Bank Verification Number: Also the BVN has ensured that the menace of "ghost workers" are being identified and dealt with, while looters with multiple accounts can no longer hide their loot undetected.
  • Social Protection: Groundwork for social intervention/palliatives for the poor is being put in place as data is being collated by the economic planning office of the VP in conjunction with the World Bank.
  • Reorganization/restructuring of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) into a focused, accountable and transparent institution with autonomous Units (Upstream; Downstream, Gas & Power; Refineries; Ventures and lean Group Headquarters)
  • Reduction of operational deficits in NNPC by over 50% as at March 2016 as a result of Increased Transparency and Commercial focus
  • Conduct of NNPC outstanding Annual Audits from 2011 to 2014, and the publication of Monthly Financial and Operations Reports to ensure transparency
  • Introduction of third party financing in order to eliminate direct funding of cash calls by the Federal Government
  • Renegotiation of existing service contracts under Joint Venture and Production sharing contracts (PSC) Operations by about 30% leading to operational efficiency improvements and cost reductions
  • Elimination of the Offshore Processing Agreement (OPA) through the introduction of the Direct Sales and Direct Purchase (DSDP) scheme with reputable off-shore refineries thereby yielding annual savings of US$1 billion
  • Resuscitation of Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna Refineries presently producing about 7 million litres of products per/day
  • Repair of products pipe lines and the resuscitation of supply of products from Atlas Cove-Mosimi- Ibadan- Ilorin after a six year lull
  • Repairs of Escravos/ Warri and Bonny/Port Harcourt crude oil pipe lines
  • Introduction of a Price Modulation framework for downstream petroleum product pricing to encourage responsiveness to market dynamics

Miss Nollywood Beauty pageant dethrones one of its queens

Posted: 28 May 2016 04:11 AM PDT

Organizers of the Miss Nollywood Beauty Pageant have announced the dethronement of one of their queens, Grace Okoro Adaeze who was Miss Nollywood Culture and Tourism 2016. Her dethronement is contained in a statement released this morning. Read the statement after the cut...
DETHRONEMENT!
Breaking News! One of Miss Nollywood Queens, Grace Okoro Adaeze Miss Nollywood Culture and Tourism 2016 has been Dethroned...
This is to Notify the Public (social Media, Press, Prints) and all news platforms that Grace is no longer a queen of Nollywood.. For going against the policies and rules of Miss Nollywood Organisation...
1.Miss Grace impose herself a manager one Robyn Gawa, who is an imposter, a fake Manager Not recognised by the Organisation, who carries himself as a worker of MNF, we are clarifying that Robyn Gawa is neither a worker nor among the MNF organising team..
No Queen in any part of the world has the right to name herself a manager, without the approval of the Organisation, It's an insult..
2. As a Queen of Nollywood whatever that happens to her, is on the Organisation, But Grace appears in Programs (travels all around) without the consent of the organisation, even when she was told to return she replied MNF in quote 'No one can stop me'.
The organisation has been very lenient with Miss Grace and she was warned severally..
3. Grace was recently in Bayelsa, where the organiser EBarakumo Odede is based, but she cared less about informing him, She Lodged in a Hotel with her fake Manager and stayed for over a week, The Organisation knows nothing of what they did, If not for the good relationship the MNF have with Hotels, which led to reliable sources contacting us if we are aware of Grace's whereabouts?
4. During her stay, Grace was even asked if she had told her Boss of her travel.. she confirmed that 'I don't really think it's he's business'..
5. Out of the great love the organisation has for her, and due to how she was picked, built up and changed to become a better person, we endured and warned her of her Behaviour more than we can count.. Grace is now too big for the Organisation, she's rude, we cannot contain her arrogancy anymore..
Therefore Miss Grace Okoro Adaeze has been brought down in compliance with the policies of Miss Nollywood Beauty Pageant and has been Dethroned..
Queen Grace dethronement takes immediate effect and shes expected to return all the belongings of Miss Nollywood within 6days, and never to appear as a queen of Nollywood anywhere Again..
And the 'HOPE SUPPORT INITIATIVE FOUNDATION' that was founded by the Organisation under BK GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT for Miss Grace Okoro to Support the Less Privileged has been withdrawn from her..
Should Grace be found flaunting herself as a Queen of Nollywood after this letter, will be as impersonation..
And anyone who sees her appearing or claiming to be a queen of Nollywood should consider her a fraud and call the Police immediately..
We Love our Queens, all we do is to promote our Queens, the Organisation has never had any bad intention against its queens.. And has never forced Miss Grace of Any of our Queens to go or do anything against their will..
Signed Miss Nollywood
Organisation

How Alpari Has Empowered Nigerians in 2 years

Posted: 28 May 2016 02:56 AM PDT

It will be recalled that in April 2014 Alpari, the global leader in online forex trading, made its services available again in Nigeria. After two solid years, Alpari still stands tall as one of the leading names in Forex trading in Nigeria and the world at large, but getting here didn't come easy. 
Alpari's history is a story of triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds; a story of three men who started with nothing, during one of the most devastating economic crises in recent history, and managed to develop their small, provincial trading center into a global online trading company, this story and trend has resonated in every region Alpari has set to enter, a story of dedication and commitment to service, strong business model and committed international best practices, integrity and transparency in its dealings with its global clienteles.

By setting out to the African region with a pioneering office in Abuja, and a world class training facility, Alpari set out to train clients on how to get it right in the global forex market, spot metals, and CFD's on its trading platform. This commitment to seeing more clients succeed through weekly basic and advanced technical analytic classes and mentorship programs paved the way for our enormous acceptability in the Nigerian market.

Backed by a strong business model, cutting edge trading technology and sophisticated yet user friendly investment portfolios, we have grown from our pioneering office in Abuja to a second branch right in the heart of Lagos serving both institutional and retail traders.

This anniversary is built to celebrate milestone achievements and to rewards the loyalty of our clients. The celebration started by launching a 50% bonus on equity deposits to all our clients and will climax on the 28th of May, when we celebrate our outstanding clients and introducing brokers who have shown exceptional loyalty to our global brand.

We have also built so many great relationships with people from all walks of life over the years and we will take this opportunity to thank our customers who have been our source of strength. We will continue to value the customers' trust with the same vigor that we started the organization with. Alpari is going to conquer new boundaries and to maintain best traditions that have developed for years!
The Event will hold at the prestigious Barcelona Hotel, Blantyre Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, on the 28th May, 2016; by 2pm.
We invite all to share in our success story.
