Osborne Towers scandal will be sanctioned' - President Buhari

Today in Abuja, President Buhari said all those found culpable in the Osborne Towers scandal will be made to account and appropriately sanctioned. Receiving a report of the panel established to review the operational, technical and administrative structure of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), President Buhari described the discovery of monies in the flat at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, in April this year, as an ‘‘unfortunate incident which rightly aroused public interest and outcry. All the circumstances surrounding the obtaining, keeping custody and disbursement of the funds have been examined by the Vice President’s Committee and all those found to be culpable will be made to account and appropriately sanctioned. However, it must be understood that this cannot be done in a manner that jeopardises national security or exposes the operations of any intelligence Agency, which must, by nature be conducted in secrecy.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor,The Registrar,The Bursar,The University Librarian,Other Officers of the University,Gentlemen of the Press, I heartily welcome you to the Press Briefing of the 7th Convocation Ceremony of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, and the 2nd under my watch since I took office on January 6, 2015. You will recall that the first Convocation I held as Vice Chancellor of this Institution and, indeed, the University's 6th convocation, was during my first year in office in 2015. The University could not hold a convocation ceremony last year due to financial challenges. You will also kindly recall that the nation’s serious economic challenges became glaring from 2015. This has made the governance of public institutions in Nigeria very challenging. Most universities are grappling with paying workers' salaries, while infrastructural development has been pushed to the rear seat. Although Adekunle Ajasin University has its own share of these economic hardship,...

'bomb attack in Abuja is a rumor , we are on top of security nationwide' FG assures Nigerians

The Federal Government has assured of adequate security measures to thwart any possible terror attack in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and elsewhere around the country, saying there is no cause for alarm despite the latest travel advisories by some Western countries. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the security agencies have not let down their guard, despite the fact that there has been no terror attack in the FCT since the Buhari Administration assumed office. ''We know that the terrorists, who have been massively degraded and put on the run, have been looking for soft targets to attack. This is the nature of terrorism all over the world, as can be seen in recent attacks in the UK, France and Egypt, among others. ''That is why the Nigerian security agencies have continued to be on the alert, even if their efforts have been largely unobtrusive so as not to disrupt the daily activities...
