For the second time in thirteen months, Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako has been sacked by a court of law. The Appeal Court sitting in Yola, the state’s capital has ruled that the shadow elections of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through which Nyako emerged as the party’s flag bearer in 2012 was characterised by breach of the constitution, the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, and the provisions of the PDP Constitution. The court therefore ruled that Governor Murtala Nyako was not duly nominated as stipulated by the provisions of the Electoral Act, the PDP Constitution and the Constitution  of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In the ruling, Justice Ignatius Igwe, who read the lead judgment stated that the primary election that produced Admiral Nyako (rtd) was an invalid exercise which lacks legal ingredients. The judge accused the PDP, which was joined as a defendant in the suit, of criminal discrimination against Dr. Umar Ardo. . Though the primaries were declared...

The reduction of the fuel subsidy by the Federal Government in January 2012, as a deliberate policy aimed at conserving and maximizing the oil wealth of Nigeria, generated cries of discontent, fear and worry amongst Nigerians which led to a national strike. In response to the cries of Nigerians, the President announced the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) to reinvest the Federal Government’s share of the savings arising from the reduction of subsidies on petroleum products into programmes and initiatives that would go a long way to ease the pain of subsidy removal and create a better life for Nigerians. The programme therefore ensures that the Federal Government’s part of the savings from fuel subsidy removal or reduction is applied on critical infrastructure projects and social safety net programmes that will directly ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians and mitigate the impact of subsidy removal. In summary, the 1-year paid internship scheme will help...
