For the dull zulu brains. ABUJA – THE immediate past Minister/ Deputy Chairman National Planning Commission (NPC) Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, Tuesday faulted claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that his administration met an empty treasury. Suleiman said the former administration as at May 29 left behind the sum of US$ 30billion, adding that the sum would have been higher if not the governors insistence on sharing the fund. He warned that the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan must not be criminalized and painted a plunderer and looter of the nation’s treasury before the generality of Nigerians. The clarification was in response to the President’s statement during an interactive session with journalists in Abuja, where he was quoted to have said that his government met “virtually an empty treasury.” President Buhari reportedly said that it was adding a disgrace that Nigeria cannot pay salaries of its workforce. Expressing his dismay over the President’s statement, Sulaiman in a statement in Abuja described the report as “unscientific and unfair”, stressing that the immediate past administration “left behind close to US$ 30billion.” He said, “Government can’t tell us that there is no Excess Crude Account(ECA), Sovereign Wealth Fund(SWF) or are we saying the Federal Inland Revenue Service(FIR) and related agencies had not in the last one month been generating revenue? “Until they are able to prove they had no receipts from these government agencies in the last one month before Nigerians can now buy into Mr. President’s claims of an empty treasury.” He recalled that under the Jonathan’s administration,Nigeria was rated the largest economy in Africa and 26th largest in the world, querying how come such a government would leave behind an empty treasury. He said”Money made by government is meant to be spent, and this the immediate past administration did responsibly. Every government, even in the so-called western world, including the US which today remains one of the largest debtor nations in the world, government operates on deficit. “Is it not on record that President Obama inherited US$3 triillion debt, a collapsed banking sector and mortgage industry,yet he never raised any alarm. None of these has happened in Nigeria under Jonathan. “Under Jonathan,Nigeria became the largest Africa economy and 26th in the world amidst deadly security challenges and dwindling international prices of oil. In spite of all these, the FG never owed salary. “Upon inception of Jonatha’s administration, it is on record that the price of oil at the global stage was over 100 dollars per barrel and at the close of the administration, it dropped to 46dollars. Yet, there wasn’t collapse of government and federal civil servants were paid as at when due. “It will be misleading therefore for our respected President Muhammadu Buhari and indeed the ruling APC to claim to have met an empty treasury.” He further reminded the new government that “aspiration to governance is a call of meeting and confronting challenges headlong. So, we urge the APC-led government to hit the ground running as promised Nigerians by confronting the challenges. “We are not in doubt of the capability of Mr. President to do it. He should therefore get to business, put in place structures and personnel to redeem the pledges made to the Nigeria.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/ex-minister-faults-buhari-on-empty-treasury-says-jonathan-left-about-us30bn/ 1 Like |

Henry120: Brain freeze. Ability to think demolished. If you want to shift goal posts and run away like a little b*tch boy, and not debate like a proud man then so be it. I also wont waste anymore time with this. You said we have 6 qualified Gripen pilots, and TOTAL of 9 pilots from 18 aircrew. TOTAL of 9...you said. If you had been a man, instead of a cowardly boy the topic of qualification was 2nd on the list. But you have proven that you cant even bring yourself to admit you were wrong about the TOTAL number of pilots being 9. All the evidence i showed about TOTAL number of pilots being greater than 9 is easily verifiable. Post those pics on avcom.co.za, saairforce.co.za, flyafrika.net etc etc and you'll get your answer that those are indeed SAAF Gripen pilots. Now out of the blue you want proof that there are more than 9 QUALIFIED Gripen pilots, when initially you said we have no more than 9 TOTAL, of which 6 are qualified. Like i say, issue of qualification was next. But let me not waste any more time on a cowardly little b*tch who cant admit to his own mistakes. Infact it wasnt a mistake, you pulled the number 9 Gripen pilots completely out of your a.ss 2 Likes |

The turrets will be delivered within a period of 7 years to Malaysia. SA and Turkey have close defence ties though. Cadet training is nothing special, you can find Turkey, Nigerian or even South Africans cadets in Chile or somewhere else in the world. |

The Nigerian government is financially broke and barely able to pay its bills, an investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed. The portrait of the Nigerian government’s dismal financial situation is in sharp contrast to recent propaganda by Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Central Bank governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Both officials have sought to depict the Nigerian economy as vibrant and robust. http://saharareporters.com/2013/06/28/nigerian-government-broke-targets-pension-savings About 30 out of 36 states across Nigeria appear to be broke and need urgent stimulus packages from the federal government. These were the words of the Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan at a book launch in Lagos over the weekend.

Political uncertainty over Nigeria’s election on Saturday and economic turmoil from low oil prices have delivered a double blow that has slashed revenues and triggered layoffs for businesses across Africa’s biggest economy. But while some, such as consumer goods firms, are less exposed to Abuja’s troubles, others like construction firms heavily dependent on government cash are facing frozen projects, unpaid bills and mass redundancies, putting badly needed infrastructure development on ice, industry sources say. The situation is terrible and there is more … to come,” one construction industry source told Reuters. “There is a desperate lack of funds.” The fall in world oil prices to $55 a barrel, half what they were in June, could not have come at a worse time for Africa’s biggest producer. The run-up to an election is traditionally when government finances come under huge pressure from election spending on advertising and patronage. Standard and Poor’s ratings agency downgraded Nigeria to B+ from BB- last week. The naira has fallen 20 percent since being devalued in November. Because this vote is expected to be so closely fought, much more money has been needed to fight it. Capital spending in the budget has been slashed and a source in parliament said government contracts are massively in arrears because it is easier not to pay contractors than to hold back salaries. The top 10 construction companies in Nigeria accounted for 70,000 jobs a year ago but since then their workforces have been cut by a third, industry sources said. “Most of the companies tightened their belts because of no payments, while overheads are getting higher,” expatriate civil engineer Daniel Hazim said. “That’s why the majority of construction companies are passing pink slips to their employees … expats and locals.” DEVELOPMENT ON HOLD Thousands of job losses are bad timing for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid, but they may do little to sway an electorate divided along regional and ethnic lines. Jonathan, a southern Christian, faces main opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler and a northern Muslim. Yet the job losses are also a reminder that whoever leads Nigeria after the election will need to end its dependence on oil as the motor for the economy. “We have neglected agriculture, solid minerals, we have neglected human empowerment, we simply sell oil,” political analyst and lawyer Onyebuchi Emenka told Reuters TV on Monday. The country needs a candidate who will diversify the economy, he said. In the meantime, contractors are suffering. A spokesman for the Ministry of Works said it had received only 44 billion naira out of 98 billion naira allocated last year. The minister, Mike Onolememen, was quoted in local newspapers as saying that contractors were owed about 230 billion naira between 2011-2014 and that 177 projects lacked sufficient funding to move forward. Leading construction firm Julius Berger and several other large firms have all stopped working on projects such as roads and bridges because the government is not paying them, industry sources say. Firms with a smaller presence, such as Italy’s Salini Impregilo, which is building Abuja’s glitzy Millennium Tower, are in similar difficulties. Julius Berger declined to comment and Salini officials were not immediately available for comment. Government infrastructure projects always moved slowly, but firms were forced to scale down to skeleton crews last year and several are not expecting to resume work in 2015 at all. A project to rehabilitate the 340 km (200 miles) Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri railway to transport iron ore and coal, crucial to revamping an ageing steel mill, restarted work in August 2014 but was shut down again when funds dried up, a source close to the project said. Now it will remain on hold until the government can fund it. http://bioreports.net/news/financially-broke-nigeria-government-may-fall-back-on-pension-savings/ 2 Likes |

saengine:There is no evidence that you have more than 9 qualified Gripen pilots. Did you provide evidence that they have been winged? Did you provide evidence and it was disputed. Guys in flight suit, do not show whether they are Pilots or Navigators or Trainees, no evidence they have been winged. Former President GEJ in Camo, does this make him a General in the army or even an officer in the army? It is your job to provide evidence that SAAF has above 9 winged pilots. |
