Taxation remains most sustainable source of revenue for govt, Fasoto
Nigeria’s foreign reserves have been shrinking since July 2007 when it stood at 67 billion dollars. The books read $40.48 billion last March. At the last meeting of the Federation Account Allocation Committee, the Minister of State for Finance Mr . Remi Babalola, said that in the last ten years, growth in discretionary spending by all federal, state and local government out paced the annual growth rate of the overall economy, resulting in deficits.
2010: Time ticks for Lagerback’s final list
That the Super Eagles played a barren draw against Saudi Arabia in Austria last Tuesday in their first build-up match for the 2010 World Cup is no longer news. The team’s technical adviser, Lars Lagerback had his first feel of the players in the match which many Nigerians have described as below par and unconvincing.
In the name of the University
There are assessment and evaluation issues at stake. But of great concern to me is the relationship between universities and the production of the labour force. Why private universities? What is the great need? Nigerian universities produce a great number of graduates annually who are mostly unemployed. Private universities simply max out Nigeria’s unemployment statistics by churning out more into the labour market.
The choices before President Jonathan (2)
Jonathan’s predecessor, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, frankly acknowledged that the elections that brought them to power were flawed. Therefore, the President is morally obliged to support electoral reforms that would eliminate the flaws. It is unfortunate that he has to work in concert with a National Assembly overwhelmingly dominated by crude Machiavellians actuated by instincts of primitive accumulation and political survivalism.
Re: National Security
‘Those who want to be voted for at the next elections should tell us how they will tackle the issue of security in the country. Nigerians should assert their rights and not just cast their votes in favour of anyone or any political party, based on the sentiment of tribalism or religion, or who bribed the most. We should be concerned about our security and ask these politicians what exactly they will do to ensure safety of lives and property in the country. Those who don’t have concrete agenda for this should not be voted for. Period. Funsho, Lagos.’
