16 Million Children Are Out Of School – Adamu Adamu

a former Minister of Education, ADAMU ADAMU, has said that the number of out-of-school children in the country now stands at over 16 million.

ADAMU, who is also one of the 43 ministerial nominees submitted to the senate for screening and confirmation stated this while fielding questions from senators yesterday.

The new figure of 16 million, however, contradicts the 13 million out-of-school children being bandied around. However, the ministerial nominee told the senate that the 16 million figure was based on a February 2019 census.

ADAMU noted that out-of-primary-school children stood at 10 million, while children out-of-secondary-school are six million.

He blamed the high number on poor funding of education in the country by states and the federal government.

Senate President, AHMAD LAWAN, said the legislature and the executive arm of government should work together to get the children back to the classrooms.

CJN Vows To Fight Corruption In The Judiciary

the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), TANKO MUHAMMAD, has promised to fight corruption in the judiciary.

MUHAMMAD made the pledge shortly after he was sworn in as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.

He described as unfortunate the situation where judges allowed some people to serve as links between them and people standing trial in court, saying such a scenario must stop.

The CJN stated that the judiciary would continue to support the executive arm of government in the ongoing fight against corruption by speeding up cases that have to do with the allegations of corruption.

According to Justice TANKO, it is his wish to leave the Nigerian judiciary as one of the best in the world at the end of his tenure.

Don’t Worry About Early Budget Presentation – Lawal To Nigerians

The President of the Senate, AHMAD LAWAN, has urged Nigerians not to worry about the early presentation of the 2020 budget because there are no ministers, saying it is not actually ministers who prepare budgets but civil servants.

Senator LAWAN said this while answering questions from journalists at the State House, Abuja, after a closed-door meeting with President MUHAMMADU BUHARI and the Speaker of House of Representatives, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA.

The President of the Senate said the decision to pass the budget in December is still achievable if the executive presents the budget in September.

Senator LAWAN said the National Assembly will collaborate with the executive to improve the security situation in the country and other issues bordering on economy and good governance.

Meanwhile, AHMAD LAWAN says Absence of Ministers will not Delay 2020 Budget Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), IBRAHIM MAGU, has said that some highly-placed individuals undergoing corruption probe and on the commission’s watch-list in Kwara State have procured forged police report to apply for another international passport to escape from the country.

The EFCC boss, made this revelation through the Ilorin Zonal Head of the Commission, Mr. ISYAKU SHARU, who on his behalf received the Comptroller of Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Kwara State Command, EDITH ONYMENAM.

ONYMENAM, had led other NIS senior officers on a courtesy visit to Ilorin Zonal Office of the EFCC, and the EFCC boss took advantage of the visit to submit particulars of individuals on its watch-list and under investigations in the state to the command.

MAGU said the need to familiarise the NIS with the particulars of such personalities under investigation became necessary following intelligence information at the disposal of the commission.

ONYMENAM commended the anti-graft body for the existing cordial relationship between the two agencies and pledged the support of his office to the success of the commission’s work.
