Today marks the 54th anniversary of our country’s independence as a sovereign nation. This is also the tenth month of our journey into a new century, having marked the centenary of our nation in January this year. 2. The first one hundred years were marked by triumphs and tribulations, benefits and burdens, opportunities and challenges. We made some far reaching advances in building a strong, united and prosperous nation. We also overcame the forces of disunity that culminated in a debilitating civil war. We have also renewed our faith in one another, and in our country. We have proven that we are truly a resilient nation. 3. In my address to the nation last year, I did emphasize that we were in a sober moment in our country. We are still in that mood in spite of the many accomplishments of our administration. Our sombreness has to do wi...

The Federal Government on when Thursday announced that the taxi driver , Mr Imeh Usuah who returned $120,000, (about 18 Million Naira) left in his car by a passe nger will be honoured with the National honour of the Member of the Federal Republic (MFR). He also got a three bedroom apartment from our dear president. Usuah had stunned the world when he virtuously returned the money, in spite of his poor status and at an advanced age of 70 years, with a large family of 6. He took to cab driving after retiring from his job as a former workshop foreman with Julius Berger Plc. He laboriously struggled to make ends meet without compromising morals. While some Nigerians commended his honesty, others called him a fool, considering the fact that the taxi driver wasn't financially buoyant himself. Mr Usuah was awarded by the National Orientation Agency (NOA) and given a token amount of N30,000. But when he emerged the winner of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) maide...

Dangote Places Order For Refinery Equipment As FG Grants Licence Aliko Dangote The quest by Africa’s richest man , Aliko Dangote to make an intervention in Nigeria’s long standing fuel supply hiccups is being pursued vigorously with advance orders believed to have been made for equipment  that will be used to build his proposed $8 billion refinery and petrochemical plant in Lekki, Lagos. It was  learnt yesterday that the orders for these equipment were made ahead of government granting a Licence-To-Establish (LTE) a refinery which Dangote received only a few days ago.
