The National Conference is to resolve the issue of voting procedure today, the conference chairman, Justice Idris Kutigi assured yesterday.

We are here to present issues that affect Nigerian students and youths in general. First and foremost, it is very pathetic that we still have students of polytechnics and colleges of education staying at home for almost eight months due to a prolonged strike by their academic staff.

The reporter in the former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, surfaced on Monday when he pleaded for the closing time of the conference to be adjusted to 5 p.m. instead of the scheduled 6 p.m.

A representative of National Council of Women’s Societies, NCWS, Mrs Remi Kuku while reacting to complaints made by a delegate, Wale Okuniyi of lack of comfort, urged delegates to be mindful of what they do and how they carry out their affairs.

The Police in him was brought out on Monday when former Inspector- General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Gambo Jimeta warned fellow delegates that shouting would not in any way intimidate anyone.

YINKA Gbadebo, President, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS shares with Vanguard NANS agenda at the National Conference among others.

Also on Monday, a representative of National Council of Women’s Societies, NCWS, Mrs Remi Kuku while reacting to complaints made by a delegate, Wale Okuniyi of lack of comfort, urged delegates to be mindful of what they do and how they carry out their affairs.

We are not gonna talk about resources control. We are talking about true federalism. So, that is the position.

Well, I don’t think anybody will come here to discuss secession. That is not part of it. We are here to make Nigeria grow. But if it exists as a provision, the idea is that it makes the federal unit aware that it has to act properly to avoid such incident. But to be candid to you, nobody would be coming here to discuss how to break up Nigeria. We’ve come with one sole aim: how to grow Nigeria. How to make it stronger.

WITH 13 reports and documents of past constitutional amendment exercises in their kitty, the 492 delegates to the on-going National Conference are ready for business as they resume today.

The CONFAB resumed its daily routine of predictable motions and meaningless expressions of gratitude to the Head of State. That was how General Sani Abacha wanted it, until Obong Victor Attah, who later became the governor of Akwa Ibom State for eight years, dropped a bombshell on Wednesday, July 20, I994

ow, again, I go back to where I started. In the new generation churches, some of them actually have a lot to do by way of travelling around. Outside the country they have churches. Within the country they have. So they do it like the secular CEO, now they believe that programming themselves to scheduled flights may not solve their problems and they have enough money to acquire these machines.

Nigeria, the biggest black nation, should be a leader in world affairs and leadership involves a lot; you must be able to meet and overcome challenges. That is what leadership is. A leader should leave the stage as an icon and let the people feel nostalgic that he is leaving the stage.

Structuring the Nigerian federation along the principles of the so-called “true federalism”. Here, it is being erroneously inferred – either out of political ignorance or political maneuver or both – that the 36 States of the Federation are “federating units” and should therefore operate and derive their powers and functions on the classical meaning of federalism, as in the case of the United States of America

For psychotherapeutic relief, this national talk shop, the rally of sorts, presently going on in Nigeria’s federal capital, is not only timely, it is needed for celebratory purposes.
