Buhari's Social Investment Programs to NextLevel loading

We Will Expand N-Power, TraderMoni, MarketMoni, Others – OsinbajoPublished 1 hour ago on March 29, 2019

Vice President of Nigeria Professor Yemi Osinbajo has said that the President Muhammedu Buhari’s government in the next four years will expand N-Power, school feeding, TraderMoni, MarketMoni, power, others.

Osinbajo said: “At the Next Level, we will, of course, expand our social investment programmes; at the moment, the programme is the biggest of its kind anywhere in the African continent.

It is a very important programme for us also because of the multiplier effect on agriculture and also in the distribution of the products and also those we employ as cooks.

“The same is true of our TraderMoni programme, a component of our Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), where we are giving money to the bottom of the trading pyramid in Nigeria.

‘In my view, the honest leadership, leadership with the integrity of our president, President Muhammadu Buhari, is a very important component of getting anywhere at all in all of our development plans.

“I had said before at the last colloquium that Nigeria’s main problem is not the lack of ideas, it is not the lack of projects and programmes. It was most of the time, especially with the leadership in the past, it was a lack of integrity in leadership and corruption, in particular, was the reason why we were finding it difficult to make progress.

“I explained that that’s why we earned $383billion in four years, 2010 – 2014, the highest ever in the history of our country, and yet Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was not done. Lagos-Kano Railway and all that is being done today, not done then.

“We cannot point to a single major infrastructure project that was completed in the 10-year period, despite the high earnings, including power.’

Read full speech below REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT THE 11TH BOLA TINUBU COLLOQUIUM THEMED: WORK FOR PEOPLE, AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE, ABUJA, ON THURSDAY, 28TH OF MARCH, 2019. PROTOCOLS We are here for the 11th edition of the Bola Tinubu Colloquium.

This is a yearly development gathering where we try to question and interrogate some of the difficult questions on economic and social development, not just in Nigeria, but also across the world. We do it in celebration of a man who has spent the last thirty years of his life in creative and catalytic public service.

He has from his days as Governor of Lagos State, provided clarity of thought and pioneering vision in all aspects of governance. He is not a lawyer, but there are few Nigerians who have provoked so many legal controversies and constitutional challenges, resulting in several landmark judicial rulings, especially in the area of federalism, and what today is loosely described today as restructuring.

CAN makes u-turn, moves to congratulate Buhari on election victory Many of us know, of course, that he is not an engineer, but a lot of his vision is what is responsible for what we see today in Lagos. The BRT, the Lekki Industrial Zone, even the Eko Atlantic Project, a private project which he initiated as governor of Lagos state and of course, the reform in the tax system in Lagos. Today, Lagos earns more in Internally Generated Revenue than 31 States of Nigeria put together.

That reform began in 2001with the very innovative way in which he reformed the tax system and created an independent system – the Lagos Inland Revenue Service. Several African countries and States of Nigeria have engaged the LIRS as consultants for their own reform efforts. How about electoral reform? In 2007, when our party, then the ACN, was rigged out of the elections in Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and in Edo state, Asiwaju invited me to his residence at Bourdillion.

He said to me that the only way by proving that there were multiple voting is by going through the courts, i.e. proving that a few people simply thumb printed the ballot papers, dumped them in ballot boxes and they were counted in favour of the opposition. He then said to me that the only way we can do it is by somehow proving by forensic evidence that this is exactly what happened.

I said to him that nobody has ever proved an electoral petition by forensic evidence; there is just no history of it. And I said what is, even more, is that there are over a million ballot papers, about 1.3 million ballot papers in all the States. So, how can you prove multiple voting? He said to me “Yemi, you have heard my view about this issue, just go and find a way of sorting this out.” So I went to the UK and met with possibly the most experienced finger print expert in the entire United Kingdom, a gentleman called Adrian Forty, introduced to me by some of the Queen’s Counsels.
When I told him the enormity of the problem, he laughed and almost fell off his chair. He said in almost 50 years of his experience as a fingerprint expert, he hasn’t done up to 4000 fingerprints, and now we asked him to do 1.3million fingerprints. We parted that day which was a Thursday, and then he got in touch again on a Monday and said we should discuss further.

Somehow, we designed a way and used a bit of technology. Most importantly, we got the number of fingerprint experts that have never been assembled before, and we hired 63 of fingerprint experts.
50 of them were from the UK Police.

What was more interesting about that is getting the UK Police to support us was for Asiwaju to come all the way from Nigeria to the UK to talk to friends and people who he knew, to persuade persuading the UK authorities to allowususe UK Police. Pilots, engineers urge Buhari to focus on actualising aviation roadmap In the end, they allowed us to use the Policemen in their spare time. We got 63 policemen working flat out for almost 6 months.

We were able to put together, for the first time in the history of elections tribunal in the history of the world, we put together a solid forensic case that showed all of the places we were defeated was on account of multiple thumb printing. We also showed that for instance, you cast 20,000 votes, when we calculated the time to cast one vote, it is usually about 5 minutes but we discovered that our friends in the other political party were able to cast that number of votes in 5 seconds.

All they were doing was simply thumb-printing booklets, as many as possible. We demonstrated this in court, and one by one, we were able to get back the States that had been taken away from us.

The only way that could have ever been achieved is surely not just by the vision, but by the determination of our leader at that time, the leader of the ACN. He showed the kind of leadership that was very rare and not only defining what he thought was thewayforward, but also supporting it in every way and backing it to the very end.

The last State that we finally won was Osun State, after almost 3 years of battling. One of the things that we would agree about our celebrant today is his dogged attitude and his refusal to accept no for an answer. Ashiwaju also pioneered merit in cabinet appointments in particular.

I want to emphasize this because a major draw back we have, as a nation, is the way we are blindsided into thinking that we can avoid merit and expect to achieve great things. We simply cannot avoid merit. Ashiwaju demonstrated in the years when he was governor, that political appointments, especially cabinet appointments, should be based on merit. He looked for those that he considered the best possible material at the time regardless of where they were from.

For the first time in the history of Lagos State, we had cabinet members from other parts of the country, beginning with other parts of the Southwest. Rauf Aregbesola from Osun State, I from Ogun State, Arthur Worrey from Delta, Lai Mohammed from Kwara State, Dele Alake from Ekiti State, Ben Akabueze from Anambra State. We also had the appointments of Judges from all over the country;JusticeOnyeabo, and Justice Sybil Nwaka were appointed Judges of Lagos State.

There is no other State elsewhere in the country except in some places in the North, where we have seen the appointment of individuals from other States. Picking people for positions no matter what part of the country they are from is an important part of our story as a country. Every once in a while, I think that history gives us one or two persons who are gifted transformative leaders.

I believe that our country has been gifted with this transformative leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I believe very strongly that this man’s political trajectory has only just begun. He is a man who has tremendous giftings and God has great plans ahead for him. I pray for you, Ashiwaju, that as your days so shall your strength, wisdom and favour be in Jesus Mighty name, amen! #Nextlevel: What Buhari has to do about Nigeria’s economy Let me say a word or two about the Next Level.

As you know, the expression Next Level itself is our political campaign slogan in this last election. And what we were saying was simply that there was a next phase to what our country has seen.

There are many who will say that there were many things that were promised in 2015, which have not yet been realized. I think the best way of putting is to simply say that our country, for the first time is experiencing the type of leadership that is bound to lead us to where it is that we are purposed for ourselves as a government.

In my view, the honest leadership, leadership with the integrity of our president, President Muhammadu Buhari, is a very important component of getting anywhere at all in all of our development plans. I had said before at the last colloquium that Nigeria’s main problem is not the lack of ideas, it is not the lack of projects and programmes.

It was most of the time, especially with the leadership in the past, it was a lack of integrity in leadership and corruption, in particular, was the reason why we were finding it difficult to make progress. I explained that that’s why we earned $383billion in four years, 2010 – 2014, the highest ever in the history of our country, and yet Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was not done.

Lagos-Kano Railway and all that is being done today, not done then. We cannot point to a single major infrastructure project that was completed in the 10-year period, despite the high earnings, including power. So, a government coming after so many years of waste must be a government, first, that emphasizes fiscal prudence, a government that emphasizes integrity in public finance so that it would manage the little resources to achieve the maximum that can be achieved. And that is what President Muhammadu Buhari set out to do.

As I keep saying, the president has never claimed to be an orator. He just gets things done. It was under President Muhammadu Buhari that three of the four refineries that we have today were built when he was Minister of Petroleum Resources. 3500km of pipelines were built by him as Minister of Petroleum Resources in a three-year period. So, there is a track record, not of talking, but of just getting things done. And this is what we have seen in the past four years.

That is why we were able to set aside money for the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. And that is going on at present. That is why we opened up the first phase of the Lagos-Kano Railway that was commissioned a couple of weeks ago i.e the Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan phase of that project. The Itakpe-Warri Railway, now completed after 35 years of being on the books. The Light Rail project here in Abuja started in 2005, budget after budget, never completed, but we completed it also at the end of 2017.

We now have that light rail from the airport to Idu here in Abuja, same as several other infrastructural projects. Mambila Hydro has been on the cards for 40 years. We have just put together resources to begin that project and we will complete that project. For us, infrastructure is critical at the Next Level.

You cannot have a situation where you have the kind of power situation we have today and expect transformative progress. That is why we are focused on power and other infrastructure. We are focused on fixing the infrastructure in the country and we believe that if we fix the infrastructure, the roads and the rail, and especially power, we will be able to make significant progress.

Today our rail project starts from the Apapa port so that we are able to clear the congestion in that port because the Lagos to Kano railway starts from the Apapa port. And we can start taking out cargo from the Apapa port using rail as an alternative means of transportation.
The same is true of agriculture; and we just heard our partners from Brazil talking about the next phase of our agricultural development and we are committed to that project because we believe that is what will transform the agro-industrial phase of our planning and that is what will transform agriculture in this country and create additional jobs.

It is not enough to have farmers everywhere; we need the refining capacity; we need the processing capacity and that is what our partnership with the Brazilians will provide for us. On the reforms we are making in education and healthcare, today the emphasis is on digital literacy; the emphasis is on training our teachers to be able to train the next generation of children in school.

And we are focused on doing so using some of the methods we have described very comprehensively not just in theERGP, but in our Next Level document. So, we are focusing on STEAM not STEM; we are focusing on training young people on digital skills, critical thinking and some other skills that are necessary for the kind of jobs that the 21st century will provide.
The same is true of healthcare, our focus on healthcare is on National Health Insurance because we cannot finance healthcare by the budget alone; compulsory National Health Insurance that will open the doors for financing healthcare for us. Finally, we are talking again about our Social Investment Programmes (SIPs).

At the Next Level, we will, of course, expand our Social Investment Programme; at the moment, the programme is the biggest of its kind anywhere in the African continent. In our school feeding programme, we are feeding every day, 9.2 million children in public schools across 26 states.

That programme is important not just from the point of view of providing nutrition for many of the young people in public schools, many of whom come from very poor parents and may not be assured of a decent meal a day. It is a very important programme for us also because of the multiplier-effect on agriculture and also in the distribution of the products and also those we employ as cooks.

The same is true of our TraderMoni programme, a component of our Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), where we are giving money to the bottom of the trading pyramid in Nigeria. It is a programme of the Bank of Industry where we give loans of N10, 000 to petty traders through their mobile phones and they get N15,000 when they pay back, then N20,000 and more up to N100,000. The same is true of our MarketMoni which we give to traders in cooperatives.

So far, we have over a million TraderMoni beneficiaries and about 500,000 MarketMoni beneficiaries and we intend to expand the scope of that. We also intend to expand the scope of our N-Power programme which is our job scheme for young people. Young graduates coming out of school and some non-graduates. At the moment, we are engaging 500,000 of these young people and we pay them every month. Most of them have devices/tablets that contain training materials in enhancing their viability skills and also helps them to provide services to people who require them.

We intend to expand the programme; we must expand the programme because 1.7million people come out of school and are looking for jobs every single year, we are able to bridge that gap by engaging 500,000 of them as soon as they come out of school. So, the Next Level promises to be exciting, though a bit challenging as possibly as where we are coming from. But as the President has said repeatedly, we have no other focus but the progress of this country.

And we will ensure that step-by-step, we get to where it is that we promised to take the country. I want to say to you all that the Next Level is for all of us and I urge that all of us cooperate to take us to this Next Level. So, on behalf of the President, Muhammadu Buhari whom I represent here today, I want to wish Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, happy birthday and to thank you all for making out time to come to this event. Thank you all.

Commander of Presidential Air Fleet PAF (2002 –
2004)
Alex Badeh was Commander of the Presidential Fleet, during the Olusegun
Obasanjo's presidency. The Presidential Fleet Crew flew around the world
frequently and by 2002, Badeh logged over 6000 flying hours shuttling VIPs,
dignitaries, top government officials and Heads of State. [citation needed ] He
was given the green light to fly former United States Presidents Bill Clinton
and Jimmy Carter on different occasions after extensive check was done by
the United States Secret Service. [citation needed] Badeh’s professional
dexterity on duty earned him commendation and an autographed pen from
Koffi Anan and the then UN Secretary after flying him to an official
trip. [citation needed ]
Chief of Air Staff (October 2012 – April 2014)
As Chief of Air Staff Badeh initiated Optimizing Local Engineering (OLE 1 and
2) to focus on developing indigenous Unarmed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and other
weapon systems. [ citation needed ] The OLE teams consisted of Nigerian Air
Force officers with PhDs and master's degrees in various fields of aerospace
design, avionic and armament specializations from the Cranfield University in
the UK.
OLE 1 and 2 resulted in the production of the AMEBO project (aka GULMA 1
UAV) which allowed the Air Force survey and carry out attacks remotely
without putting the lives of pilots at risk and this was the 1st locally
produced drone in Nigeria. Badeh ensured UAV pilots were trained locally to
promote local content and save the nation huge resources that would have
been spent conducting same training abroad. The Nigerian trained UAV pilots
have been resourceful in the ongoing war against terror in the North East of
Nigeria. [citation needed]
He encouraged aggressive R &D programs in all NAF units, which led to the
first NAF R&D exhibition in Abuja drawing participants from Nigerian
universities and research institutes. NAF subsequently signed MOUs with
some of the institutions to offer impetus to NAF’s R&D efforts. Some of the
Alex Badeh inspecting NAF air crafts
universities are University of Benin , University of Ibadan, University of Lagos ,
Covenant University, Ota; Federal University of Technology, Minna; Obafemi

projects including the NAF hangar in Yola Airport, link roads from the hangar
to the runway, weapons storage facility, [3] crew room for pilots and
technicians, accommodation for officers and men, Air Force comprehensive
school, Yola, development of infrastructure at 75 Strike Group Yola, air craft
shelters, worship centers, 80 room student hostel at the Air Force Institute
of Technology Kaduna and other notable projects. [4]
During the period the Air Force launched a partnership with Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to curtail illegal maritime
activities by providing aerial security support for the agency an operation that
was hugely successful. [4] Badeh also partnered with the Nigerian Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) to supply relief materials, free medical services
and evacuations missions in some cases As Chief of Air Staff Alex Badeh
ensured all personnel who had kids in the Air Force primary and secondary
schools got free tuition. [4]

Chief of Defence Staff (April 2014 – July 2015)
Badeh initiated and constructed the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) extension
complex fitted with a befitting joint operations room, conference hall, the
office spaces, Penthouse to receive guests. [3] During the military operations
against terror in North Eastern Nigeria, there was a need to feed the public
with accurate and timely news therefore Badeh established the Armed Forces
Radio broadcasting form Mogadishu Cantonment broadcasting on 107.7 FM to
tackle the challenge of negative media coverage against the Nigerian Military
The radio station enabled military to tell its side of events, over security
orientation and information.
Other projects completed by Alex Badeh as Chief of Defence Staff includes
the Armed Forces DNA Laboratory, which has allowed for easy identification
of casualties of war, the Defence Space Agency, commissioning of 30 Gun

In October 2014 Boko Haram fighters briefly occupied Vimtim the hometown
of Alex Badeh killing lives and destroying properties. [citation needed ] His
cousin who lived next door to his house was killed during the
attack. [citation needed ] The terrorist also torched down Badehs house and
the hospital he built for the community. [citation needed ] It was widely
reported in the media that the Defence Chief sent a helicopter to evacuate his
parents before the attack even though records show that he actually lost his
father in the 70’s and his mother in 2013. [ citation needed ]

BUKOLA SARAKI'S REASONS TO DUMP APC TO PDP...

I

wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is not a decision that I have made lightly. If anything at all, I have tarried for so long and did all that was humanly possible, even in the face of great provocation, ridicule and flagrant persecution, to give opportunity for peace, reconciliation and harmonious existence.

Perhaps, more significantly, I am mindful of the fact that I carry on my shoulder a great responsibility for thousands of my supporters, political associates and friends, who have trusted in my leadership and have attached their political fortunes to mine. However, it is after an extensive consultation with all the important stakeholders that we have come to this difficult but inevitable decision to pitch our political tent elsewhere; where we could enjoy greater sense of belonging and where the interests of the greatest number of our Nigerians would be best served.

While I take full responsibility for this decision, I will like to emphasise that it is a decision that has been inescapably imposed on me by certain elements and forces within the APC who have ensured that the minimum conditions for peace, cooperation, inclusion and a general sense of belonging did not exist.

They have done everything to ensure that the basic rules of party administration, which should promote harmonious relations among the various elements within the party were blatantly disregarded. All governance principles which were required for a healthy functioning of the party and the government were deliberately violated or undermined. And all entreaties for justice, equity and fairness as basic precondition for peace and unity, not only within the party, but also the country at large, were simply ignored, or employed as additional pretext for further exclusion.

The experience of my people and associates in the past three years is that they have suffered alienation and have been treated as outsiders in their own party. Thus, many have become disaffected and disenchanted. At the same time, opportunities to seek redress and correct these anomalies were deliberately blocked as a government-within-a-government had formed an impregnable wall and left in the cold, everyone else who was not recognized as “one of us”. This is why my people, like all self-respecting people would do, decided to seek accommodation elsewhere.

I have had the privilege to lead the Nigerian legislature in the past three years as the President of the Senate and the Chairman of the National Assembly. The framers of our constitution envisage a degree of benign tension among the three arms of government if the principle of checks and balances must continue to serve as the building block of our democracy. In my role as the head of the legislature, and a leader of the party, I have ensured that this necessary tension did not escalate at any time in such a way that it could encumber Executive function or correspondingly, undermine the independence of the legislature. Over the years, I have made great efforts in the overall interest of the country, and in spite of my personal predicament, to manage situations that would otherwise have resulted in unsavoury consequences for the government and the administration. My colleagues in the Senate will bear testimony to this.

However, what we have seen is a situation whereby every dissent from the legislature was framed as an affront on the executive or as part of an agenda to undermine the government itself. The populist notion of anti-corruption became a ready weapon for silencing any form of dissent and for framing even principled objection as “corruption fighting back”. Persistent onslaught against the legislature and open incitement of the people against their own representatives became a default argument in defence of any short-coming of the government in a manner that betrays all too easily, a certain contempt for the Constitution itself or even the democracy that it is meant to serve.

Unfortunately, the self-serving gulf that has been created between the leadership of the two critical arms of government based on distrust and mutual suspicion has made any form of constructive engagement impossible. Therefore, anything short of a slavish surrender in a way that reduces the legislature to a mere rubber stamp would not have been sufficient in procuring the kind of rapprochement that was desired in the interest of all. But I have no doubt in my mind, that to surrender this way is to be complicit in the subversion of the institution that remains the very bastion of our democracy. I am a democrat. And I believe that anyone who lays even the most basic claim to being a democrat will not accept peace on those terms; which seeks to compromise the very basis of our existence as the parliament of the people.

The recent weeks have witnessed a rather unusual attempts to engage with some of these most critical issues at stake. Unfortunately, the discord has been allowed to fester unaddressed for too long, with dire consequences for the ultimate objective of delivering the common good and achieving peace and unity in our country. Any hope of reconciliation at this point was therefore very slim indeed. Most of the horses had bolted from the stable.

The emergence of a new national party executives a few weeks ago held out some hopes, however slender. The new party chairman has swung into action and did his best alongside some of the Governors of APC and His Excellency, the Vice President. I thank them for all their great efforts to save the day and achieve reconciliation. Even though I thought these efforts were coming late in the day, but seeing the genuine commitment of these gentlemen, I began to think that perhaps it was still possible to reconsider the situation.

However, as I have realized all along, there are some others in the party leadership hierarchy, who did not think dialogue was the way forward and therefore chose to play the fifth columnists. These individuals went to work and ensured that they scuttled the great efforts and the good intentions of these aforementioned leaders of the party. Perhaps, had these divisive forces not thrown the cogs in the wheel at the last minutes, and in a manner that made it impossible to sustain any trust in the process, the story today would have been different.

For me, I leave all that behind me. Today, I start as I return to the party where I began my political journey, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

When we left the PDP to join the then nascent coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014, we left in a quest for justice, equity and inclusion; the fundamental principles on which the PDP was originally built but which it had deviated from. We were attracted to the APC by its promise of change. We fought hard along with others and defeated the PDP.

In retrospect, it is now evident that the PDP has learnt more from its defeat than the APC has learnt from its victory. The PDP that we return to is now a party that has learnt its lessons the hard way and have realized that no member of the party should be taken for granted; a party that has realized that inclusion, justice and equity are basic precondition for peace; a party that has realized that never again can the people of Nigeria be taken for granted.

I am excited by the new efforts, which seeks to build the reborn PDP on the core principles of promoting democratic values; internal democracy; accountability; inclusion and national competitiveness; genuine commitment to restructuring and devolution of powers; and an abiding belief in zoning of political and elective offices as an inevitable strategy for managing our rich diversity as a people of one great indivisible nation called Nigeria.

What we have all agreed is that a deep commitment to these ideals were not only a demonstration of our patriotism but also a matter of enlightened self-interest, believing that our very survival as political elites of this country will depend on our ability to earn the trust of our people and in making them believe that, more than anything else, we are committed to serving the people.

What the experience of the last three years have taught us is that the most important task that we face as a country is how to reunite our people. Never before had so many people in so many parts of our country felt so alienated from their Nigerianness. Therefore, we understand that the greatest task before us is to reunite the county and give everyone a sense of belonging regardless of region or religion.

Every Nigerian must have an instinctive confidence that he or she will be treated with justice and equity in any part of the country regardless of the language they speak or how they worship God. This is the great task that trumps all. Unless we are able to achieve this, all other claim to progress no matter how defined, would remain unsustainable.

This is the task that I am committing myself to and I believe that it is in this PDP, that I will have the opportunity to play my part.  It is my hope that the APC will respect the choice that I have made as my democratic right, and understand that even though we will now occupy a different political space, we do not necessarily become enemies unto one another.

Thank you.

Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON
President of the Senate

NIGEEIA AIRWAYS TO NIGERIA AIR

Nigerian Airways a Land Mark Achievement by the Buhari's Administration

Since the 1970's till date, Nigerian Airways that once competed with global world best careers failed to stay afloat. The Airway that was once a symbol of national pride deteriorated gradually, with a growing laxness towards safety resulting in a spate of plane crashes in the 1970s. Mismanagement and corruption turned our national careers to an object of bargaining chips and political tools by successive administrations until the professionals that built the institution were gradually phased out.

The airline was used to compensate political allies with free flights, with managers abusing their office and engaging in all forms of graft and money laundering. The airline once boasted efficient services with cheap fares, became grounded in the hands of opportunistic leaders. At some point in history, the Nigerian Airline's operating fleet shrank from 32 to 1, leaving the corporation buried under debt to the tune of $60 million at the time of its liquidation.



Inconsistent policies, multiple taxation, inadequate infrastructure, and poor regulatory oversight, left the industry on the brink, with some larger players paying the price. With frequent incidences of plane clash, the call for higher safety standards led to less frequent crashes, but much borrowing. Airlines were subjected to multiple taxation.

As steps to revitalize the Nigerian Airways the Buhari administration began by clearing all debts owed by the Nigerian airways staff entitlement see link http://thenationonlineng.net/fg-approves-payment-of-nigeria-airways-staff-entitlements/

Today the Federal government is set to unveil the Nigeria Airways Logo in preparation to the come back of our National Carrier after 30 years.

Recall the many achievements of the President on road infrastructure, recall his work on Rail ways and now Airways.

HOW OSINBAJO, SILICON VALLEY, HOLLYWOOD INVESTORS, US INDUSTRY CHIEFTAINS INTERACTED & EXCHANGED IDEAS ON INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN NIGERIA

OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT

PRESS RELEASE

HOW OSINBAJO, SILICON VALLEY, HOLLYWOOD INVESTORS, US INDUSTRY CHIEFTAINS INTERACTED & EXCHANGED IDEAS ON INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN NIGERIA

*FG promises protection of intellectual property, investment

For two days, American investors and chieftains from the technology and entertainment sectors of the US and indeed global economies took turns to listen and actively interact with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and the Nigerian delegation drawn from the public and private sectors.

They came in impressive numbers for two full days to listen and assess investment opportunities in Nigeria and also asked questions.

From the Silicon Valley for instance, well over twenty core American investors in technology spent over hours on Monday afternoon interacting with the Nigerian delegation led by the Vice President alongside others including Industry, Trade & Investment Minister Dr Okey Enelamah, on how to invest in Nigeria.

Top among the US investors were Tim Kendall, a US investor who worked with Facebook monetization and has led PINTEREST, headquartered in San Francisco and valued at about $12B. Pinterest is a “web and mobile application company that operates a software system designed to discover information on the World Wide Web, mainly using images and on a shorter scale, GIFs and videos. Pinterest has reached 200 million monthly active users as of September 2017.”
Others who attended the investment summit in Silicon Valley included representatives of StreetEdge Capital, a Bay Area, California multi-billion dollar family partnership with global footprints including holdings in the US, India and Africa. There were also others including Chika Nwobi and Tom Terbell, partners from Rise Capital, “a private equity firm specializing in early venture and later stage investments. It seeks to invest in the internet enabled sector in emerging markets.” The multi-million dollar investment firm is also based in San Francisco, California.
In the same vein, Prof. Osinbajo also visited the headquarters of LinkedIn where he held a meeting with the Co-founder of LinkedIn, Allen Blue, and other senior executives of the company at its headquarters in California.
The Vice President later also featured as the Special Guest at the firm's Fireside Chat with a packed full room of Nigerians in Diaspora, which was also streamed live to a global audience.
The next day in Los Angeles, right in Hollywood, the Vice President and his delegation, drawn mainly from the Advisory Group on Technology Innovation and Creativity, an arm of the National Industrial Competitiveness Council, also met with an impressive array of entertainment chieftains and investors in the US.
They included top Hollywood executives like Mark Viane of Paramount Pictures; Steven O'Dell of Sony Pictures; Kieran Breen, Karen Mbanefo and Bryan Song of 20th Century Fox, Betty Lee of Lions Gate; Craig Dehmel and Shehu Garba from IMAX Entertainment; Monique Esclavissat of Warner Bros; Mary Ann Hughes from Walt Disney, John Fithian from the National Association of Theater Owners, and Ryan Gibson of BET International, among others. There were also representatives from Fox Network,

Also at the forum from the Nigerian delegation were renowned names in the film, music & entertainment industry, including Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface; New York-based Nigerian visual artist, musician, singer/songwriter, Laolu Senbanjo; CEO, Ebony Life TV, Mo Abudu, Chocolate City CEO, Audu Maikori; founder/CEO Terra Kulture, Bolanle Austen-Peters; New York artist, Sesan Ogunro among others.

It would be recalled that the Vice President on Monday was received by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and other top Google executives at the global technology company’s corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley, California.

After the meeting in Silicon Valley, the Vice President also interacted with scores of Nigerians working with Google.
Speaking in Hollywood before he left the US early yesterday, Prof. Osinbajo noted that the Federal Government is determined to ensure needed regulations to stimulate the growth of the country’s entertainment and creative industries, including the protection of Intellectual Property and investment guarantees.

The VP stated this during the interactive investment forum on Nigeria’s creativity sector with US-based entertainment outlets, media & investors held in Waldorf Astoria, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, all day Tuesday.

According to the Vice President, “we understand how dynamic the environment is, both technology and creative arts. But we think that the way to go will be to work with those who are actually in the industry, those like yourselves who are putting in their money, their resources, time, and energy into this, and trying to do our regulations in such a way that we are competitive practically with anyone else in the world.

“So what we have done so far is that we’ve been looking at what the specific issues are, and there are quite a few. There are those who want to know about what we are doing in terms of Intellectual Property protection, investment guarantee, and all of that. But I think that the most important thing really, is that we have a government and a lot of those who work in our agencies, who are determined to work through this, day by day, piece by piece to make sure that we get our environment right, and we get the right type of investment environment.”
Prof. Osinbajo further said the Buhari administration will continue to make effort to improve the country’s infrastructure and technology to grow the country’s entertainment/creative sector and the digital economy.

He said, “we are also, of course, very interested in many ways, in deepening infrastructure, especially broadband, connectivity and all of that, because we think that mobile telephony is going to be one of the big ways, especially for the distribution of film and all of that. And we are convinced that with the size of our population, we must find ways of getting film and content unto mobile phones, and also working out payment systems around that because we think that that is the way this is going to go.

“We know that in the next couple of years, that really is where a lot of development is going to go to, and we are very anxious to get our regulations right, to get all of our laws in place and to ensure that we are able to attract all of you who want to do business with us, especially those of you who are coming from other countries. As for the Nigerians, we are, of course, actively engaged with the local industry, and that is one of the reasons why we have the advisory council which takes into account many of our local investors, local artistes and the local entertainment crowd generally.”

The interactive forum in Los Angeles was the last leg of the Vice President’s trip to the United States where he led a Public-Private sector collaborative investment road show, including meetings with global industry leaders in the technology, film, music & entertainment industry in San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively.
The investment road show led by the Vice President showcased the efforts of the Buhari administration in developing Nigeria’s technology, entertainment and creative sectors; and sought to deepen collaboration between Nigeria and the US in these areas.
Also on the Vice President’s delegation were representatives of tech firms, Nollywood and several relevant government agencies.
His earlier meetings with a series of key US technology investors, executives from US-based companies at the “Invest in Nigeria Summit”, was held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Palo Alto, San Francisco, California, while the meeting with Hollywood and US entertainment industry operatives was at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Los Angeles.
At the meetings which were well attended by US and Nigerian investors/industry chieftains, Prof. Osinbajo reiterated Government’s commitment to the growth of the country’s digital economy by creating the right environment for the technology, creative industries to thrive and unlocking the country’s potential.
The Vice President said, “One of the critical things for us also, is the fact that we are very open to ensuring that regulation is competitive, especially in the Tech space. All over the world, this is a very dynamic environment, and we recognise that, and we want to be able to work with players and investors, to get the regulations and environment right.”
Prof. Osinbajo also showcased opportunities for innovation and investment in Nigeria, while also highlighting the growth of Nigerian technology start-ups and young Nigerians taking the lead in innovation and creativity.

He noted that Government was exploring more ways to leverage on technology to improve infrastructure and other areas of the economy, while also highlighting the impact of the Buhari administration Social Investment Programme such as the N-power scheme and how it leverages on technology to train and empower young Nigerian graduates. So far the N-Power scheme has 200,000 beneficiaries, with 300,000 more expected to be added soon.

Speaking in Hollywood before he left the US early yesterday, Prof. Osinbajo noted that the Federal Government is determined to ensure needed regulations are in place to stimulate the growth of the country’s entertainment and creative industries, including the protection of Intellectual Property and investment guarantees.


The VP stated this during the interactive investment forum on Nigeria’s creativity sector with US-based entertainment outlets, media & investors held in Waldorf Astoria, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, all day Tuesday.

According to the Vice President, “we understand how dynamic the environment is, both technology and creative arts. But we think that the way to go will be to work with those who are actually in the industry, those like yourselves who are putting in their money, their resources, time, and energy into this, and trying to do our regulations in such a way that we are competitive practically with anyone else in the world.


“So what we have done so far is that we’ve been looking at what the specific issues are, and there are quite a few. There are those who want to know about what we are doing in terms of Intellectual Property protection, investment guarantee, and all of that. But I think that the most important thing really, is that we have a government, and a lot of those who work in our agencies, who are determined to work through this, day by day, piece by piece to make sure that we get our environment right, and we get the right type of investment environment.”


Prof. Osinbajo further said the Buhari administration will continue to make effort to improve the country’s infrastructure and technology to grow the country’s entertainment/creative sector and the digital economy.

He said “we are also, of course, very interested in many ways, in deepening infrastructure, especially broadband connectivity and all of that, because we think that mobile telephony is going to be one of the big ways, especially for the distribution of film and all of that. And we are convinced that with the size of our population, we must find ways of getting film and content unto mobile phones, and also working out payment systems around that because we think that that is the way this is going to go.

“We know that in the next couple of years, that really is where a lot of development is going to go to, and we are very anxious to get our regulations right, to get all of our laws in place and to ensure that we are able to attract all of you who want to do business with us, especially those of you who are coming from other countries. As for Nigerians, we are, of course, actively engaged with the local industry, and that is one of the reasons why we have the advisory council which takes into account many of our local investors, local artistes and the local entertainment crowd generally.”



The interactive forum in Los Angeles was the last leg of the Vice President’s trip to the United States where he led a Public-Private sector collaborative investment road show, including meetings with global industry leaders in the technology, film, music & entertainment industry in San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively.


The investment road show led by the Vice President showcased the efforts of the Buhari administration in developing Nigeria’s technology, entertainment and creative sectors; and sought to deepen collaboration between Nigeria and the US in these areas.


Also on the Vice President’s delegation were representatives of tech firms, Nollywood and several relevant government agencies. A number of representatives of those agencies also held a meeting with Facebook at its headquarters in the Silicon Valley on Tuesday.

The VP’s earlier meetings with a series of key US technology investors and executives from US-based companies-“Invest in Nigeria Summit”, held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Palo Alto, San Francisco, California, while the meeting with Hollywood and US entertainment industry operatives held all day at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Los Angeles.

At the meetings which were well attended by US and Nigerian investors/ industry chieftains, Prof. Osinbajo reiterated Government’s commitment to the growth of the country’s digital economy by creating the right environment for the technology, creative industries to thrive and unlocking the country’s potential.

The Vice President said “one of the critical things for us also, is the fact that we are very open to ensuring that regulation is competitive, especially in the Tech space. All over the world, this is a very dynamic environment, and we recognise that, and we want to be able to work with players and investors, to get the regulations and environment right.”

Prof. Osinbajo also showcased opportunities for innovation and investment in Nigeria, while also highlighting the growth of Nigerian technology start-ups and young Nigerians taking the lead in innovation and creativity.

He noted that government was exploring more ways to leverage on technology to improve infrastructure and other areas of the economy, while also highlighting the impact of the Buhari administration Social Investment Programme such as the N-power scheme and how it leverages on technology to train and empower young Nigerian graduates. So far the N-Power scheme has 200,000 beneficiaries, with 300,000 more expected to be added soon.

FINALLY: ABACHA'S RECOVERED LOOTED MONEY WOULD BE SHARED AMONG NIGERIANS

$322m Abacha loot: Osinbajo reveals how
beneficiaries would be selected
Published on July 12, 2018


Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo has finally cleared the air on how the beneficiaries of the direct cash transfer from the $322m recovered Abacha loot would be paid.
The money is part of the loot stashed in Switzerland by the late former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha The Vice President made the clarification on Wednesday at the launching of the Monitoring of Recovered Assets through Transparency and Accountability project.
The launching was part of the ‘Roundtable of the African Union Champion on Anti-Corruption’ to commemorate 1st African Day of Anti-Corruption.
The event was co-organised by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, andthe African Union, with the theme, “Enhancing Domestic Resources for Sustainable Development Goals by Improved Asset Recovery and Asset Return.”
Osinbajo was represented at the event by Special Adviser to the President on Social Protection, Maryam Uwais.
He assured that the cash transfer programme would be monitored to ensure transparency of the process.
She said monitors would visit the individual households that have been identified through “deliberate targeting.”
The VP said, “By the end of this year, we should have a register of the entire country.
“This register is where all our beneficiaries will be mined from. There is a number for each of the beneficiaries, and we’ll have pictures captured.
“When we started, three banks offered to support us with the biometrics. By the time they started going to the locations they realised it was costly for them.
“So they backed out. Now, we’re working through agents to ensure we pay at the last mile, because if a person is on this register, and is actually deserving of this our N 5, 000, many of them cannot travel for long distances.
“Many of them need the money so we don’ t want them spending money going to look for their money. So we’re using the agents. We’re working to see that their biometrics are captured.
“It’ s more than just financial inclusion . It’ s also social inclusion. It’s important for planning that every state is aware of where these people are located.
“We’re also collating data on access roads to these communities, nearest primary schools, secondary schools, healthcare centres, connectivity issues.
“There is a huge conversation on how to ensure that we’re able to make payment by virtual wallet, because a lot of our women on pay days are visible when they go to collect their money and we need to protect them.

SALATUL FATIH.. (What do you know about the great Durood?)

Bismillahir-rahmanirrahim

From the letters of the Jurist Sīdī Muhammad Aknusūs, may Allah be pleased
with him
And know, O bother that no one approaches Allāh sincerely, with his inner being
except that Allāh approaches him apart from all of existence. So he will not fail
to obtain anything of the good of this world or the hereafter.
And I had been writing to you about what I think: that Ṣalāt al-Fātiḥī li mā
ughliq in this time is more endowed than all other remembrances and more
effective than all other secrets. And if only you were to remember it just as I
have informed you, as part of your litanies 2000 in the day and the night, in
addition to the (obligatory) litany. For that is the Greatest Treasure, and the
Philosopher's Stone.
So, put all of your effort into being consistent with it and be ever vigilant at its
blessed door, which is the door to the Presence of Allāh and His Messenger. For
you will verily attain by it jewels , charismatic talents, secrets, lights, and
gnosis, the worth of which cannot be measured. Whenever your concentration is
set upon it, you will realize this, whatever be the circumstance. This is
especially the case if you were to remember alongside it the Name that begins,
"Yā Ghiyāthī ʼinda kulli kurbatin....." 99 times per day, or after every obligatory
prayer- for the one who is able to. For anyone who sticks to that will discover
all of the Secrets with ease, without any trouble, any hardship, any difficulty or
condition.
And know that the People say that the Secrets have prescribed times and
assigned limits. And it is not possible to receive anything from it before its time,
nor after its time has expired.
I also had been informing you about Shaykh Abu Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ, that his
Shaykh Abu Madyan al-Ghawth had directed him to Shaykh Mawlānā ʼAbd al-
Qādir al-Jīlānī, may Allāh be pleased with them all.
Then, Abu Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ went to Baghdād. And Shaykh al-Jīlānī entered
him into seclusion for three consecutive forty day periods, that is to say one
hundred twenty days. But, there was no change in his spiritual state. So, he
returned him to his shaykh Abu Madyan. And he stayed with him for a long time
until the time came and he received his opening.
We only mention to him the traditions of the righteous to give lessons by their
remembrance, to convince living hearts, and to sow in them the longing for the
Bounty of Allāh.
Verily, this time in which we find ourselves does not support any great struggle
whatsoever. And it is not possible to travel to any far off summit. And every
door has been locked, as Shaykh Zarrūq and others have said. And there does
not remain open any of them except the door of blessing upon the Messenger of
Allāh, may Allāh bless him and grant him peace.

The Importance of Salatul Fatih
Sidi Ahmad Tijani said:
If I should express what Allah is to me and my companions
reward
with the  salat al Fatihi,
then the great god-connoisseurs (akabir al arifin) would  kill me with united
forces . "
(From the Epistles of Sidi Muhammad ibn Ahmed Akansus)
"The great reward that Allah has reserved for those who recite the Salat al
Fatihi is not to be mentioned, and it will only be visible in the Hereafter."
Sidi al Haj Ali Harazem comments:
"The reason is that this prayer itself
the Holy Essence of Allah  (Kalam Dhat al Muqaddasa)
and thus no result of human activity. "
And of the benefits of reciting this prayer is that it is the one who speaks it
before the hellfire  (fidya mina an nar) ...
... and to those who recite it, Allah will forgive all his sins,
even if he was 100,000 years old.
(Kunnash of Sidi al Haj Ali Harazem)

O Allah! Bless our Master Muhammad (s), who opened what was closed and
who is the Seal of what went before, he who makes the Truth victorious by the
Truth, the guide to Your Straight Path, and bless his Household as is due his
immense position and grandeur.
This salawaat has a specific power and when you recite it as part of the awraad
they immediately throw you in the Ocean of Mercy which relates to Prophet (s).
That is why it is a cure for every disease. Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidinaa
Muhammadini 'l-faatihi limaa ughliq, Prophet (s) is "the Opener of What is
Closed," whatever is closed. There are 70,000 veils between us and Prophet (s)

600000 Birds From Each Recitation of
salatul Fatih
Sayyidina Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I asked
the Master of Existence (salla Allahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) if this hadith
was authentic. He replied that it was authentic ... I then asked him if one bird is
created for Salat al-Fatihi with that description? He replied that 600,000 birds
with that description are created for each recitation of Salat al-Fatihi"
The Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) said, "No servant prays
upon me except that the prayer exits from his mouth with such speed, staying
neither in the seas nor on lands, east or west except passing by them all and
saying 'I am the Salawat of Fulan bin Fulan, pray then upon Muhammad the
Chosen, the Best of Creations (salla Allahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) ;
nothing remains therein except that they too pray upon him and Allah shall
create from that Solawat a bird which as 70,000 wings and in each wings there
are 70,000 feathers and in each feather there are 70,000 faces and in each
face there are 70,000 mouths and in each mouth there are 70,000 tongues and
each tongue praises Allāh in 70,000 languages and Allāh shall write from him
[the reciter] the reward of them all.

There is some info given on http://www.dar-sirr.com/Tijanism/Salat-al-

really so great in its fazaail that it is even greater than dalail ul kherat in
blessings?
shukran ya syyedi.
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
The wording of Salat al-Fatih is for the most part that of a report from our
liegelord `Ali ibn Abi Talib (Allah ennoble his face) as his own saying narrated by
Sa`id b. Mansur in his Sunan, Ibn Faris in his monograph on Salat on the
Prophet (upon him blessings and peace), al-Tabari, al-Tabarani, al-Ajurri in al-
Shari`a, and others as stated by al-Haythami in Majma` al-Zawa'id (10:254),
Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari (11:163), Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir under verse 33:56. It
is often cited in the books of difficult Arabic words such as al-Zamakhshari's al-
Fa'iq, Ibn Qutayba's Gharib al-Hadith and others. This is the wording:

Sharh of Salatul Fatih By Shaikh Qandusi
R.A
"The statement in Salat al-Fatih from the Great Axial Master and renowned
Prophetic Heir, my master Ahmad al-Tijani (Allah be pleased with him and be
pleased with us on his behalf), 'the Opener of what was sealed' means: the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is the opener of the cosmic
forms, for they were 'sealed' behind the veil of hiddenness (butun) and in the
form of non-existence; their locks were opened through the existence of the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and came from the form of non-
existence into the form of existence, from its veiledness in the realm of
hiddenness into themselves within the realm of manifestation through him. For
were it not for the Prophet, Allah would not have created existents or taken
them from non-existence to existence. This is one of the meanings of the
phrase. Another meaning is that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him
