Tinubu has saved Nigeria from economic woes – Finance minister


The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, says President Bola Tinubu, through his initiative, especially the stoppage of imported fuel, has saved the country from bleeding.

Edun stated this on Monday in Bauchi during the opening ceremony of the National Council on Finance and Economic Development, NACOFED, with the theme: ‘Fostering Economic Growth in Challenging Times.’

The minister said Tinubu’s administration inherited the assets and the liabilities and there was no looking back but in charting a way forward, decisions needed to be made in order to stabilize the economy.

“The President has stopped the bleeding that was costing five per cent of the GDP of the country every year, that was adding no value except to a few people and of course neighbouring countries that were benefiting from what was happening with the fuel subsidy and as well, a related foreign exchange subsidy.

“The benefits were saved for just a few and a mass of Nigerians were not getting any benefits from those structures. They have been removed and the federation account will benefit from increased flow of resources to the federal, states and local governments and so much more can be done in terms of investing not just in infrastructure but in social services like education, health.

“The road is clear for private sector investors and as we know, we are now back in business on the road to industrialization, based on what is happening in the petroleum refining sector.

“Crude oil is not just being shipped abroad, it’s being refined locally to give petroleum products and raw materials for industry,” he said.

Edun also expressed appreciation to Governor Bala Mohammed for hosting the conference and the organizers for making the conference a reality.

Speaking, Governor Bala Mohammed assured his visitors that he would spare no efforts to ensure that the gathering surpasses expectations.

JAMB begins centre accreditation for 2025 UTME


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has officially commenced the accreditation of centres for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, saying the process is a critical first step in preparation for the annual examination.

A statement signed by the Board’s Director of Communications, Dr Fabian Benjamin, noted that all new Computer-Based Test, CBT, centres, interested in participating in the 2025 UTME exercise must visit the Board’s website to avail themselves of the requirements for establishing a JAMB-approved CBT centre.

The statement said the centres must notify the Board in writing of their intention to participate in the accreditation exercise, addressing such a letter to the Registrar of JAMB through the Zonal Director or State Coordinator in their respective states.

‘‘Established centres that were successfully accredited and participated in the 2024 UTME without any issues should proceed to register their interest through the Centre Management System (CMS) Portal.

‘‘The Zonal and State Offices will create accounts for new centres on the CMS Portal to facilitate their registration. All centres must conduct an Autobot/Autotest on a date that will be communicated to them, as part of their preparation for the physical accreditation visit by the Board’s team. It is essential to note that the Autobot/Autotest is mandatory; only centres that successfully complete this test and meet the necessary criteria will be eligible for a physical visit.

‘‘Only centres that qualify will receive information regarding the date for the physical accreditation exercise, scheduled for December 2024. Centres that do not achieve satisfactory results on the Autobot/Autotest will not be revisited.

‘‘Centres that meet all stipulated requirements will be approved and included by the Board for the 2025 UTME registration and examination,’’ the statement said.

TRCN conducts Professional Qualifying Examination for 16,614 candidates nationwide


No fewer than 16,614 candidates enrolled to sit for the November Diet of the Teachers’ Professional Qualifying Examination, PQE, conducted by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, across the country.

The examination conducted in Abuja and major city centres in the country was observed to be hitch-free, while officials of the Federal Ministry of Education monitored the process.

But beyond the conduct of the examination, the Council now under the leadership of Acting Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Stella-Maria Nwokeocha is undergoing financial challenges, following the delisting of the agency from those funded directly by the federal government.

Lamenting the situation, Dr Nwokeocha said the agency has had to cut down its operational costs and merely depend on development partners to exist.

According to the Ag Registrar, it has been harrowing taking staff on training and paying emoluments.

Her words, “We met so many challenges but we try to cut down on cost, everything boils down to sacrifice, for instance, staff of the agency I praise them for that because they have been very understanding. For something like training, we had to cut down on drastically that, instead, we do group training.

“We are calling for improved funding, I have to be open with you, some development partners are helping us in certain ways but we cannot rely on that alone, we are asking the government to put us back in its funding plan, even if they cannot put us back, they can decide to take up payment of staff salaries”.

Director, Certification and Licencing, TRCN, Dr Jacinta Ezeahurukwe, who spoke with newsmen on Saturday, noted that the PQE is designed to test the professional knowledge of those in the teaching profession.

According to her, it was a prerequisite for licencing and certification of teachers before being allowed to teach in the classrooms in Nigeria.

While giving further insight into the conduct of the examination, she revealed that some technological innovations have been introduced to make the exercise more seamless.

According to Dr Ezeahurukwe, TRCN recently introduced an App which generates examination numbers for the candidates, as against the previous exercise when such numbers are provided manually.

She explained that very soon all candidates would have to enrol online and generate their examination details themselves.

“You are aware that we introduced an App that detects impersonation, it ensures that it is only the people who registered for this examination that would write it, which we also use for accreditation.

“Apart from that we used to give them their numbers manually but now we have ensured that the computer generates the number, this is to ensure the sanctity of the examination so that nobody does anything funny. The registration numbers were later communicated to the candidates.

“We are getting to a point where every candidate will be registering online, each year we improve on our processes, as you can see today the exam is more seamless than before because we have also tried to manage the crowd, “Ezeahurukwe told reporters covering the beat.

Obasanjo re-echoes Nigeria’s socio-economic downward spiral


After echoing Nigeria’s socio-economic downward slope, former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo reiterated hope for the country.

Obasanjo in his Keynote Address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum, Yale University New Haven Connecticut, USA, at the weekend, lamented that the situation in Nigeria is bad.

In a press statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the former President in his address titled “Leadership Failure and State Capture in Nigeria” said, “The more the immorality and corruption of a nation, the more the nation sinks into chaos, insecurity, conflict, discord, division, disunity, depression, youth restiveness, confusion, violence and underdevelopment.”

Obasanjo, who was in the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC but had the 25 minutes video recorded to the forum, noted that in a country like Singapore, “The government has also been responsive to the changing needs of its people and has invested heavily in areas such as healthcare, education, and social welfare.

“That’s the situation mostly in Nigeria in the reign of Baba-go-slow and Emilokan. The failing state status of Nigeria is confirmed and glaringly indicated and manifested for every honest person to see through the consequences of the level of our pervasive corruption, mediocrity, immorality, misconduct, mismanagement, perversion, injustice, incompetence and all other forms of iniquity. But yes, there is hope.”

On Achebe’s personality, Obasanjo hinted that the great author and writer has been known through “his work and his values for as long as our Nation has been in existence. He was a great and distinguished Nigerian.

Residents of Ondo State will file out on Saturday to elect the next governor, 11 months after the death of former Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

Data from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) indicates that 18 governorship candidates will be participating in the election.

The candidates include:

Falaiye Abraham Ajibola (A), Akinuli Fred Omolere (AA), Ajayi Adekunle Oluwaseyi (AAC), Nejo Adeyemi (ADC), Akinnodi Ayodeji Emmanuel (ADP), Aiyedatiwa Lucky Orimisan (APC), Popoola Olatunji Tunde (APGA), Ogunfeyimi Isaac Kolawole (APM), Fadoju Amos Babatunde (APP), Ebiseni Olusola Nehemiah (LP), Olugbemiga Omogbemi Edema (NNPP), Ajaunoko Funmilayo Jenyo (NRM), Ajayi Alfred Agboola (PDP), Alli Babatunde Francis (PRP), Akingboye Benson Bamidele (SDP), Adegoke Kehinde Paul (YP), Akinmurele John Otitoloju (YPP), Mimiko Olubansile Abbas (ZLP).

While residents decide on the next governor, DAILY POST highlights the four top candidates going into Saturday’s poll:

Lucky Aiyedatiwa – All Progressives Congress (APC)

Aiyedatiwa took over the mantle of leadership in the state following Akeredolu’s death in 2023.

The former deputy governor hails from Obe-Nla, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State. While Akeredolu was ill and battling cancer, Aiyedatiwa stepped in as Acting Governor.

In December 2023, Aiyedatiwa was sworn in as Ondo State governor following Akeredolu’s death.

In his campaign manifesto, Aiyedatiwa emphasized security, economy, agriculture, infrastructure, youth, education, and women empowerment.

Agboola Ajayi – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

Ajayi was the deputy governor to Akeredolu during his first tenure before their eventual fallout.

Following the fallout, Ajayi joined the Zenith Labour Party to contest in the last election but lost.

He later defected to the PDP and emerged as the party’s governorship candidate.

The 54-year-old focuses on security, agriculture, health, education, industry, marine economic development, rural development, environment, youth, sports, social welfare, women development, and civil service reform.

Sola Ebiseni – Labour Party (LP)

Ebiseni served as a commissioner during the tenure of former Governor Olusegun Mimiko before defecting to the Labour Party.

The constitutional lawyer is determined to focus on free education, social welfare, maternity care for women, ICT integration, and economic transformation in the state.

Abbas Mimiko – Zenith Labour Party (ZLP)

Abbas is the younger brother of former Governor Olusegun Mimiko.

The medical psychiatrist has pledged to focus on a seven-point agenda, including food security, portable water, wealth creation, education, a mass housing scheme, health, and peace and security.

Meanwhile, DAILY POST will provide situation reports from the state as events unfold.
