The Senate on Wednesday, approved the $200 million loan request for the Lagos State government, following deliberation of the report of Ad-hoc Committee on Foreign and Local debt to which the request was referred a fortnight ago. Senator Kabiru Gaya (APC Kano South), in a motion for the consideration of the report, said: “That the Senate do consider the Report of Ad-Commiittee on Local and Foreign Debts for Special approval of Lagos State Development Policy Operation (DPO) loan budget support of US$200 Million from the World Bank.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/senate-approves-200m-world-bank-loan-for-lagos/ And the debt keeps piling up. It is well. |

THIS IS A BAD NEWS There are strong indications that the Federal Government may have jettisoned the Presidential Special Scholarship Scheme for Innovations and Development (PRESSID).The development is linked to the dearth of funds to run the project which was initiated by the immediate past administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Government sources disclosed to The AUTHORITY that the scheme is not listed among the priorities of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.It was learnt that because of the poor disposition of the government to the scholarship scheme, the PRESSID Implementation Committee has not called for applications for the next edition.The AUTHORITY also learnt that over 102 candidates who the last administration selected for the scheme were yet to be placed in any foreign university. This has fuelled speculations that the government had caved in to pressure from some politicians, who called for the scrapping of the project because their zones could not meet the merit criterion for selecting beneficiaries.The scholarship scheme, under which Nigerian graduates with First Class honours degrees are sponsored to any of the top 100 universities in the world, was established in January 2012 and has awarded a total of 307 scholarships under three editions.Checks by The AUTHORITY revealed that entries for applications which normally open in September are yet to commence, even as the website for the scheme, http://scholarship.nuc.edu.ng appear to be dormant. Attempts to speak with the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius Okojie, who doubles as PRESSID Implementation Committee chairman, were not successful as the commission's Director of Information, Mallam Ibrahim Yakasai was evasive. He also failed to answer calls or text messages sent to his phone.However, an official of the NUC, who craved anonymity, expressed doubt if applications for this year's edition would be opened.The official said the Federal Government was still having challenges in placing some of the successful candidates from the last edition into the relevant universities abroad. The official said: "We have not opened applications for this year's PRESSID and I don't know when that will be because there are some issues on ground. We are still having some issues with the last beneficiaries. "So, anytime we hear from the Presidency on this year's PRESSID, we will open applications. For now we are waiting for the Presidency." The list of the 102 successful candidates for the last edition of PRESSID, who emerged through a Computer Based Test (CBT), was released in the twilight of former President Goodluck Jonathan's administration.The uncertainty over the presidential scholarship comes on the heels of the recent review of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) overseas scholarship scheme, due to a change in the policy direction, that include a partial or outright domestication of the scheme in Nigeria in line with the Local Content Policy of the Nigerian government.The PRESSID scheme provides tuition fees, accommodation, transportation, living expenses and local travels to benefiting students and also offer them opportunities to pursue different courses of study up to PhD level in top universities abroad. Some of the beneficiaries of the first edition of the scheme, who are mainly from the southern part of the country, had recently rounded off their studies while the fate of the recent graduates to benefit from the programme now hangs in the balance. The Federal Government instituted PRESSID as part of efforts to develop a critical mass of professionals who would serve as catalysts of change and agents of scientific and technological advancement, as well as sustainable economic development. http://www.authorityngr.com/2015/11/Austerity--Presidential-scholarship-scheme-threatened/# I hope it's a romour sha. |

Someone posted this on the PRESSID thread.... [b]"When i say the core muslim north is holding back the South people will say it's a bigoted assertion! All this rubbish is why i want either a restructured political-economy in Nigeria or we all go our separate ways! Right from the 70s there's been all sorts of affirmative action in favour of the north, with the excuse that it has to be done this way because the north is poor or because the north is educationally disadvantaged! Nobody is thinking that this is unfair to the south who have had to slow down for more than 4 decades so the north can catch up! Now, my question is: does this quota-system, nannying and pampering bestowed on the north have a termination date? Or are we going to continue with it ad-infinitum! Because if the latter is the case then i may just as well give up on Nigeria right now! We can't be carrying on with this primitive way of doing things and expect to catch up with the Asian Tigers! In fact, if care is not taken even little Ghana sef will overtake us on the highway to socio-economic prosperity, leaving us spluttering and coughing in their wake as we forlornly watch them disappear into the distant horizon!"[/b] I hope it's a rumour sha. It's too bad if they have really scrapped the program simply because their wards could't meet up. North had only 1 candidate from Kwara State when the program started, with time the number was increasing. We(Yoruba's) followed by Igbo's have been dominating the scholarship program for years. Too bad if they have really scrapped it. What they promised us was change, I wouldn't call this a change. Too bad. 1 Like |

zimoni:I knew the PRESSID thing was dead on arrival immediately BUHARI won, the north will always favour itself first before others and this scheme is one they hated because it went against their interest. On the issue of affirmative action, I think it will continue ad infinitum but we shouldn't worry, the north will never catch up that way, they are only succeeding in pushing us farther and higher if you get what I mean... |

Having travelled so much of the country, I can say the south west has the best road networks in the Nigeria. Really, all you dishing Aregbesola, the isun state governor, I think he really tried in road infrastructures and building schools...a friend of mine said he "over did" tho...hence running into debt As per education, even tho Anambra state may be having the encomiums now as per excellence in national exams, nonetheless, the southwest has the HIGHEST EBROLLMENT in basic schools. I just got this info, and I was awed. |

Buhari is not the problem, the problem is the cabal presently holding the country by the jugular. These people have a hold on him so strong and intense that it'll take a miracle for the man to actually perform as expected by all. I pray he does and if he doesn't, pasan ti a fi na iyale n be lori aja fun iyawo... As for our leaders in SW, It's a pity majority of them reason upside down and only battle for their selfish needs. Imagine the huge human, material, physical and even metaphysical resources at our disposal waiting to be harnessed and channeled appropriately? But No!, they won't reason together, won't strategise! It's a pity I can't read all that has been hitherto said here but I think we should discuss the apparent disconnect between our leaders and how it's affecting the region as a whole.

Naijababe - how you doing sister? You forgot about your bro. ![]() OnReflection - how you doing bro? Didn't know you were eGuerilla. On the cancellation of the PRESSID thingy, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. The more federal programs are cancelled with states taking up slack, the more decentralized Nigeria would be. With less money projected to be realised from Oil, the FG is sure to cancel more programs. Lets hope that the SW sinators and reps don't fall asleep. 5 Likes 1 Share |
