@Collyrosy@IfedolapoOsun My God will bless u for dis, though I haven't seen ife road, but Ofatedo road(under construction ) Iwo n the so call osogbo bridge are completely substandard, at least we see roads in Ibadan, ondo even Lagos street road are of better quality than wht osun people are celebrating.
I have nominated Mr. Taiwo Oyedele as Minister of State for Finance and conveyed his name to the Senate for confirmation.
Taiwo has served our nation diligently as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, leading the overhaul of our tax system with clarity, courage, and competence. His depth as an economist, accountant, and public policy expert will strengthen our fiscal architecture at a critical time.
Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite will continue to serve the nation as Minister of State at the Ministry of Budget and National Planning. Her experience across portfolios remains valuable to our reform agenda.
We are building a team defined by expertise, discipline, and results. The work continues.
Nigeria First.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
A man was sentenced to 7 years in prison for stealing millions of money🥹💔
Two years into his sentence, he received a letter from his father:
“My dear son, you’ve left me in old age and sickness. The planting season has arrived, and I have no one to help me plow the field and plant maize. I wish you were here to help me. God willing, we shall meet again.”
The son replied:
“Dear father, please don’t dig in the field for now. That’s where I buried all the money I stole. Wait until I’m released.”
As all prisoner letters are read by the prison guards, the next morning, over 100 prison officers showed up at the father’s farm and dug every inch of it — but they found nothing.
The son later wrote back:
“Dear Dad, I hope you enjoyed the help I sent you. You can now go ahead and plant your maize.”
State Police: my bro and friend sent me this write-up: for discussion: hope @barauijibrin@OfficialBenKalu and @hccrNigeria will find this contribution useful.
Unfortunately none of these will work. The police we have in Nigeria today is incapable of doing policing even if motivated.
-(a): We must do the fundamental. Never waste a crisis.
Very simple things will work..
1. Restructure the federal police to reflect the country by devolving 85% of the Force to their local government of origin where they can be most effective and motivated.
-(a): Only Mobile Police, Counter Terrorism and Specialized Investigation Units should be centralized.
-(b): and Most Senior Officers who should be movable around Regional, State and Zonal Commands to ensure national outlook.
-(c): Thus, only beyond a certain rank or when in specialized forces should any police be moved outside their LGA.
2. Responsibility for day to day management, as well as recommendation for hiring and promotion should be transferred to Local Police Boards.
-(a): The constitution in Section 216.1 already allows the Police Board to delegate its power of police management.
-(b): It doesn’t even manage today, so it should do so to Local police boards immediately.
-(c): These boards should not be elected or paid but tenured, with specific civil society bodies appointing their members for a period of no longer than two years
-(d): to oversight each local government formation of the Federal Police with sync to the police commission for recommendations for promotions, motivation bonuses and firing including approval of new hires into the “community” based police
-(e): under this model. traditional rulers , teachers, unions, faith based bodies et al should be specified as these groups under such fiat order that the police council can pass legally tomorrow.
3: The president, governors and IG are the members of police council today. See your constitution. No amendment required.
4: Sequel to this order, and devolution of the police force in an orderly manner within 6 months, the police should stop the obsolete and colonial era barrack system.
7: Police don’t stay in barracks, they live among the people. When we devolve and motivate locally, this should happen.
8: Let’s pay them housing allowance, let them live among us and watch insecurity disappear. They won’t watch their local government invaded.
9: Community associations and LGAs should then be encouraged to set up local security trust fund, to provide extra bonuses and funding to their devolved community police.
10: Indeed, immediately implementing the Supreme Court order directing FG to fund LGAs directly will go a long way. Simple things.
11: It is only after a 18-24 months period when this devolved federal policing system has settled in place should we pass constitutional amendments to enable State Police. @NigeriaSenate@HouseNGR@PoliceNG@AOFAMIYESIN@LegendaryJoe
Dear Governors @jidesanwoolu, @seyimakinde, @DapoAbiodunCON, @LuckyAiyedatiwa, @biodunaoyebanji and @AAdeleke_01, difficult times call for difficult measures. We are at war. And we are being encircled by terrorists.
Sirs, Yorubaland needs you to stand up and be as firm and fierce like late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was on insecurity.
We need you to call a meeting urgently and release a statement like you did on 10th June 2024 when you openly advocated for certain policies which the majority of us Yorubas supported.
1. Invest more to professionalise and arm Amotekun to the teeth, and get them to defend Yoruba land fiercely.
2. Demand for Full Restructuring and State Policing from the Federal Government immediately.
3. Do more to create jobs and opportunities for the millions of Yoruba youths out there. Invest in agriculture!
4. Open grazing should be a thing of the past across Yorubaland. Enough is enough. Our forests should be combed and protected.
5. Regulate religious preachings and continue to promote tolerance and freedom which we are known for as Omoluabis.
We must never cower in fear or run away from these problems. Please stand up and act! We will support you until the last. We will defend you on every platform. We will stand by you. Please, do right by us so history will remember you for being OMO AKIN!
We say NO to terrorism in Yorubaland!
@ST_ABEEY@Odunayo2612@AAdeleke_01@davido@B_RedHKN@SodiqTade I no be civil engineer oo😂 but we cn score wit our eyes to giv remark on any projects... Adeleke is totally changing d look of d capital, but whosoever he's awarding those contracts to needs 2 deliver quality job, coz there are account of rehabilitation work dat are now failing
@ST_ABEEY@Odunayo2612@AAdeleke_01@davido@B_RedHKN@SodiqTade Thank you sir, let talk abt d physical structure of it, d precast beams of some parts looks so rough that u will need to ask if it was mould by hand, the quality of the the aluminium guardrail is just so obvious to be lesser quality. This has to do with the integrity of the work.
@sanwils07@OlamideAlawode_@AAdeleke_01 I have challenged @Odunayo2612 to meet me at okefia to point out the unacceptable job done he titled "Iconic bridge" but he refused...
Again, Adeleke is transforming the capital look, but not to the standard of construction compare to other states(Ibadan to be precise)
@sanwils07@OlamideAlawode_@AAdeleke_01 Is it the English u are finding difficult to read? I have never disputed his efforts, they are visible to d eyes.... Until u people start holding d government responsible,things won't change... Quality work is all we ask for, dq culvert of okefia to offa road has started pulling
@Odunayo2612@AAdeleke_01@davido@B_RedHKN@SodiqTade U haven't give response to my tweet yet, m not and nobody else will disputing the visible infrastructures going on particularly in osogbo. My concern is the quality of those works, that bridge in particular is a No! No!! don't be a blind political follower, u deserve quality job.
@sanwils07@OlamideAlawode_@AAdeleke_01 Those substandard roads n bridges he constructed right?
No doubt, He has done a lot of infrastructure work, but have u asked yourself the integrity/quality of those projects. It's quite unfortunate
