On average, asylum appeal decisions take 53 weeks - delaying returns and costing taxpayers billions in asylum accommodation use.
By introducing a new appeals body and requiring decisions to be made within weeks not years, we can clear the backlog, speed up returns and cut costs.

Dear Nigerians
False text of broadcast in circulation
Please ignore the text of an alleged broadcast said to have been made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It is totally false. It is the handiwork of mischief makers, people bent on sowing confusion and chaos in our country. Please ignore it. President Tinubu has not made any broadcast.
Please find below the concocted broadcast.

TINUBU SPEAKS
My fellow Nigerians,
I stand before you today with a heavy heart, but also with hope and determination. Our beloved nation faces unprecedented economic challenges that demand bold and decisive action. As your President, I am committed to leading by example and making the difficult decisions necessary to put Nigeria back on the path to prosperity.
Effective immediately, I am announcing a 50% reduction in my salary and all other emoluments. I call upon the Vice President, Senate President, and all other top government officials to follow suit. We who have been entrusted with leadership must be the first to make sacrifices for the good of our nation.
In the spirit of fiscal responsibility, I am also announcing the following measures:
1. The Office of the First Lady will be scrapped to reduce unnecessary expenditures.
2. We will sell off several presidential aircraft that are currently idle, retaining only those essential for official duties.
3. Government ministries will be consolidated, with a maximum of 36 ministers to streamline operations and reduce costs.
4. Fuel and electricity subsidies will be restored to provide immediate relief to our citizens, while we work on long-term solutions to our energy challenges.
5. All government officials will be mandated to use locally manufactured products, including automobiles, to support our domestic industries and reduce foreign exchange outflows.
These are just the first steps in our comprehensive plan to cut the cost of governance and redirect resources to critical areas of need. We are also implementing the following additional measures:
6. A significant reduction in the number of political appointees and aides across all levels of government.
7. The implementation of a comprehensive e-governance system to reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency.
8. A review and renegotiation of all government contracts to ensure value for money.
9. The introduction of a performance-based budgeting system to ensure that every naira spent delivers tangible results for our people.
10. A freeze on non-essential foreign trips by government officials, with a shift towards virtual meetings and conferences.
11. Effective immediately, there will be no more foreign trips for medical treatment for myself, my cabinet, and all government officials. We will use Nigerian hospitals and medical facilities. This measure will not only save foreign exchange but also demonstrate our commitment to improving our healthcare system. We must have faith in our own doctors and nurses, and work together to enhance the quality of healthcare available to all Nigerians.
I want to assure all Nigerians that these measures are just the beginning. We are committed to a complete overhaul of our governance structures to make them leaner, more efficient, and more responsive to the needs of our people.
To our youth who have planned protests under the #endbadgovernment banner, I hear your frustrations. I understand your anger. But I implore you to give us a chance to implement these reforms. Let us channel our collective energy into rebuilding our nation rather than further dividing it.
The road ahead will not be easy. It will require sacrifice and patience from all of us. But I have faith in the resilience and ingenuity of the Nigerian people. Together, we can overcome these challenges and build a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
May God bless you all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
Same set of people that called a sitting President unprintable names few years ago are the same set of people that would attack and curse you for demanding good governance even in the most polite of ways.
Awon Agba Gaslighters 😂

Dear Western Nations...
They celebrated Hamas' attack on Israel on your streets, you were OK with it...
They protested Israel's response to Hamas on your streets, you were OK with it...
They ripped down posters of hostages kidnapped by named terrorist organizations in your cities you were OK with it...
They called for a "ceasefire" on your streets, you were OK with it...
They disrupted travel, events, shopping and other activities in your cities, you were OK with it...
They protested in front of Jewish synagogues in your countries, sometimes trying to get in, you were OK with it...
They called for "global uprising" and "death to Jews" in front of your police officers, you were OK with it...
They burn flags of your countries, on your soil, you were OK with it...
They waved flags of organizations you have named as Terrorist on your streets, you wereOK with it...
The called for death to your country, from within, you were OK with it...
What's your line? At what point do you instruct your police forces to stop them? To make a statement that hate is not tolerated in your countries?
How long will you allow this ideology to terrorize your citizens? To disrupt your cities, your countries?
How many of your citizens need to be beaten? Stabbed? Raped? Killed?
I refuse to accept that you don't know what's going on. I refuse to accept that you're not aware of the threat.
I refuse to accept that you think this will fix itself.
You all have very capable intelligence agencies who have been telling you for a long time what's going on. You've been well aware of the threats to your nations long before the eruption of hate and terrorism in your countries that began on Oct 7.
When will you change your immigration policies to stop allowing this evil ideology that wants to destroy our countries to come in?
When will you enact and enforce laws that will actually protect the citizens of your countries from this infestation that you have allowed to enter...that you have allowed to fester...that you have allowed to grow from within?
When will you be more concerned about protecting and saving your country, than you are about staying in power?
When will you be more afraid of your country falling, than you are about being labelled Islamophobic?
When will you wake up, and be the leader that your country, and the world, needs you to be?
Signed,
A citizen of the world...
I've seen a few things in my life, but the horrific blood-soaked carpet on my @airfrance plane yesterday was another level! An hour into the transatlantic flight from Paris to Toronto, I kept smelling something gross and couldn't figure it out. Until I got up and looked down...(1
Dear @nigeriapoliceforce please do not play with me, don't try it, don't even go there, before I write something I dey get evidence and I made sure I monitored all their movement uptil they entered Awka the next day, the last slide is a video of where they were lodged in…1/3
@mighty_lumidee@GraceEm32140878@instablog9ja Banks or bankers don't own the money but the people do. Same people go to the bank's asking to tip the Mgrs to get the money. If we all just do the right thing, banks will be forced to pay within the limits what they are to do or else it will affect them on the long run.
@Kelvingreat042@instablog9ja The poor man just wants to feed his family. These bankers are evil. They have given the cash to the wealthy who only want to use it for public display, personal aggrandizement and rigging of election. God will judge all these bankers.
