General TY Danjuma has been appointed Chairman of Federal Government's intervention programs designed to alleviate the sufferings of victims of Boko Haram terrorist activities in the Northeast.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said this in Abuja yesterday at a summit organized by Northern Reawakening Forum, NRF. He said that the intervention programs are meant to offer immediate relief of some of the problems afflicting the people.
He said ;“All of the Federal Government initiatives are now under the chairmanship of General T.Y. Danjuma. We hope that streamlining the efforts in this way will help to ensure immediate delivery of succours to many of the problems that currently afflict the north east.
“We are aware that interventions are not institutions. We have a plan of short term strategy for immediately alleviation of hardship as well as long term plans to build infrastructure that most affect the economic lives of the most vulnerable citizens of our nation. But most importantly, we will make the interventions work”
VP Osinbajo affirmed the Federal Government's commitment to acting on all the issues affecting Nigerians.
In the aftermath of Friday's crane collapse on the Holy Ka'aba Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, four female pilgrims of Gombe State origin have been declared missing.
Amirul-Hajj of Gombe State, Alhaji Abdullahi Mai-Kano said this in Mecca while on a sympathy visit to the state's pilgrims over the tragedy.
He said that the pilgrims who hailed from Akko, Dukku and Nafada local councils of the state were declared missing after a thorough search at the three houses where the state's pilgrims are being accommodated.
To augment other measures aimed at tackling the spread of terrorist activities across the country, the police has placed extremist clerics and all militia groups under watch.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole told newsmen that the police is now closely monitoring the activities of Movement For The Actualization of the Sovereign State Of Biafra, MASSOB, Odua People's Congress, OPC, Movement For The Emancipation Of The Niger Delta, MEND, Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF and other similar organizations.
She warned that although the police force respects citizens' right to freedom of religion and association, it would not allow comments and actions that are likely to cause a breach of the peace.
She said that following the recent order by Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase to clampdown on groups and people inciting violence and social unrest, the “police are mounting surveillance on every ethnic militia group that is engaged in acts that are inimical to the interest of the state whether they are OPC, MEND, MASSOB or Boko Haram, they will all be dealt with.”
Since the Police Chief issued the order, increased presence of police personnel have been reported across the country.
How time flies. It has been one year and three months since the passing away of amazon and former Director General of the National Agency For Food & Drugs Administration & Control, NAFDAC, Prof Dora Akunyili.
On June 7,as the originator of the GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATION mantra marked one year of her crossing to the other side, former President Goodluck Jonathan did not fail to remember one of the shinning lights of his administration.
See what Oga Jona wrote about the late Dora Akunyili on his Facebook page.
"It was just a year ago that I was greeted with the shocking news of your passing. Hardly has Nigeria encountered an amazon such as you. A grateful nation remembers your services, which saved lives and advanced the cause of democracy. Continue to rest in peace Dora Akunyili. GEJ."
57 cadet officers of the Department of State Services, DSS undergoing training at the institution's training school in Lagos were last week dismissed for failing a screening test ordered by the leadership of the service.
While some of the dismissed cadets reportedly did not meet the entry requirements into the service, others were found to be physically unfit.
The dismissed cadets who were among the about 430 personnel recruited into the Cadet Officers Basic Course 28 of 2014 code COBC28/2014 had already completed 8 of their 10 months training period and would have become Senior Intelligence Officers upon graduation.
The screening exercise is said to be a part of the restructuring program of the new Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura.
