ONE area the President Muhammadu Buhari regime appears to have recorded noticeable impact is the transport sector, which has Hon Rotimi Amaechi as the Minister in-charge.

VERY early at the start of his tenure, President Muhammadu Buhari voluntarily promised to release the list of those he called looters. On 12th December 2015 the President said the only thing holding back the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, from publishing the list of those who looted Nigeria and have returned parts of the loot was to avoid jeopardising investigations and further recoveries. Till today, he has not fulfilled that promise.

Merry Christmas! Today, Monday December 25, 2017, is the day to pause from the complex frenzies of the Yuletide season. It is a day of worship, celebration, relaxation and sharing.

EVERYTHING possible must be done to avoid bringing politics into #ENDSARS, the campaign by some social activists to have the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, of the Nigeria Police scrapped. The campaign, which took off in the social media made a worrisome landfall in the streets of some cities such as Abuja, Awka in Anambra, and Port Harcourt in Rivers State at the beginning of last week.

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari’s extension of the tenures of  Service Chiefs is not only an endorsement of their services since the past 31 months of this administration it is also a call to work harder in securing the nation.

RECENT agitations for and against the dissolution of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, are reflective of the self-centred zealousness that has derailed the attainment of the goals of the regional development agency.

Nigerians have now resigned to their sad fate where the power sector is concerned. Privatisation of the power sector and the creation of the Distribution Companies, DISCOs, by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration have failed to provide the relief promised to the people. Power generation and distribution remain uncertain today as they were on May 29, 2015.

BUT for the unassailable fourteen-point dominant lead Nigeria stamped on the earlier touted “zone of death”, the Group B of Africa’s World Cup qualification efforts, the nation could have been thrown into deep mourning after it was sanctioned by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) on Tuesday, December 12, 2017.

THE ongoing combined security sweep of Boko Haram terrorists who have infiltrated the nation’s capital, Abuja, should not only continue until the last vestige of them is removed from the law-abiding populace, it should also be a regular exercise.

THE Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Finance, recently commenced investigative actions over alleged misconducts by the suspended Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Mr. Mounir H. Gwarzo.
