Ex-minister Ivase’s death: Buhari sends message to Benue govt

July 29,2019



President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the Ivase family, people and government of Benue State on the passage of Second Republic Minister of Education, Chief (Mrs) Elizabeth Ivase, OON.

In a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari said, “She [Ivase] was a distinguished educationist, grassroots mobiliser, opinion leader, epitome of humility and commitment to national unity and development.”

Noting that Ivase was a pacesetter in many respects not only in her state and northern Nigeria, but also the country in general, Buhari urged the current crop of politicians and the younger generation, especially women, to draw useful lessons from the late Mrs Ivase’s iron-will to excel by dint of hard work and perseverance.

“Indeed, her services to her community, nation and humanity especially, as advocate of girl-child education and female empowerment, will be remembered for a long time,” the President noted.

He prayed that God will comfort the grieving Ivase family, friends and associates of the late octogenarian, and rest her soul.

Lagos budget is not on ministry's website three months after Governor's approval

Image
September 05,2019 Three months after Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, signed the 2019 budget into law, the state’s financial plan is yet to be made available on the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget’s website. This is contrary to the tradition where the budget is usually uploaded on the ministry’s website for public knowledge, which breaks a decade’s tradition of having the state’s budget online, although details are usually not available compared to the Federal Government’s budget put online. Unlike the Federal Government’s website where details of financial plans are provided on the budget office website, only summaries have been made available online in the Lagos budgets from 2008 to 2018. Therefore, Lagos citizens now clamour for details of the state budget on the ministry’s site, but it seems civil society groups and some residents who have been agitating for details of Lagos budget may need to double their eff...
