Buhari will eventually endup one of Nigeria’s best presidents – Presidency

Image
Mr Garba Shehu,the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, on Sunday stated that President Muhammadu Buhari would be one of Nigeria’s best presidents even as he described the last couple of weeks as tough on the commander-in-chief as he encountered the graviest public criticism since he assumed office on May 29, 2015. Shehu said much of the criticism which he sees as unfair on the FG had been on account of the unresolved social and economic problems facing the country. In his words, “The currency liberalisation and the deregulation of the petroleum products sale will make President Buhari one of the best presidents till date. “The removal of subsidies on the petrol products has saved the government more than N2tn annual expenditure in this respect. “President Buhari’s foreign trips have brought many things to the country.

FG pleads with ex-militants over unpaid allowances

Image
The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brigadier General Paul Boroh (Rtd) has once more, pleaded with the ex-militants under the amnesty programme in the Niger Delta region not to lose faith in the Federal Government and the CBN after many promises which proved abortive. The ex-agitators had suspended protest over the non-payment of their allowances few weeks back when Boroh made some promises that the money would be made available to them just in a couple of days. Be that as it may, the allowances were never paid and there are strong indications that the ex-agitators might stage a violent protest in the Niger Delta region over this lingering issue of non-payment of their allowances as promised. Clearing the air on the matter ,Gen. Boroh, stated that the Central Bank of Nigeria, which is the body responsible for effecting the payments of stipends directly to the ex-agitators in the region, in line with the Treasury...

190 seconds and Ibrahimovic makes mark

Image
New signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored an acrobatic scissor kick within four minutes of pulling on a Manchester United shirt for the first time in a 5-2 friendly rout of Galatasaray on Saturday. The superstar forward, who moved from Paris Saint Germain in the summer, was finally unleashed by new manager Jose Mourinho in Gothenburg in his native Sweden. He had hardly broken sweat when, after just 190 seconds, Antonio Valencia — who was to grab three assists in all — swung over a deep cross and Ibrahimovic swung a right boot at it. It was not the cleanest of volleys — and Mourinho barely acknowledged the goal — but it was enough to bounce into the ground and into the top corner to deceive Fernando Muslera in the Galatasaray goal. The 34-year-old Ibrahimovic was replaced at the break, when Galatasaray led 2-1 through Sinan Gumus and Bruma. Wayne Rooney scored a second-half brace and Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata were also on the scoresheet as United came on strong after half-...
