Bishop frowns at reserving chunk of Nigeria’s forest exclusively for grazing

 
 Buhari
Bishop of the Anglican Communion, Diocese of Kaduna, Rt. Rev. Timothy Yahaya, has condemned the proposed Federal Government’s plan to reserve a chunk of the nation’s forest reserve exclusively for grazing.
The cleric explained that cattle rearing was a private ‎business and that the herdsmen only needed policy support from government rather than the government taking it upon itself to be the regulator and owner of the business at the same time.
“Passing a grazing bill will only mean some people and their business are more important than others.

“The petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), has been neglected despite enormous importance and exigency of passing the bill, particularly at the crucial time of crude oil crisis being experienced globally, which has not left Nigeria out of it.
“Therefore, it is high time this government prioritized its project to avoid being seen as sectional,” he observed.
Bishop Yahaya, however, advised herdsmen to on their own, individually or collectively, create ranches and grazing to avoid incessant clashes with farmers and rural dwellers.
He cautioned the federal government not to take some people’s land and hand it over to other.

This, according to him, would further set Nigerians in battle path against one another.
“Land is sacrosanct and held dearly by the owners. Any infringement would be seen as affront to their custom and belief,” he declared.

Economy is Performing Better than IMF’s Prediction- Presidency

 
 Buhari

Despite the economic recession that the country is presently facing, the Presidency on Wednesday declared that the Nigerian economy is performing better than the predictions of the International Monetary Fund, IMF.
It, however, admitted that the inflation and unemployment rates in the country had remained high despite efforts by the current government.
The Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu, stated this in a statement while reacting to the Gross Domestic Product figures for the 2016 second quarter by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS.

Dipeolu noted that the report, while confirming a temporary decline, has also indicated what he called hopeful expectation in the country’s economic trajectory, stressing that there were clear indications that the second half of the year will be better.
“Besides the growth recorded in the agriculture and solid mineral sectors, the Nigerian economy in response to the policies of the Buhari presidency is also doing better than what the IMF had estimated with clear indications that the second half of the year would be even much better,” he said.
The presidential aide assured that the current administration would continue to work diligently on the economy and engage all stakeholders to ensure that beneficial policy initiatives were actively pursued and the dividends delivered to the Nigerian people.
Quoting the recently released data from the NBS as showing a decline in GDP by -2.06% in the second quarter of 2016 on a year-on-year basis, he attributed the outcome to a sharp contraction in the oil sector due to huge losses of crude oil production as a result of vandalisation and sabotage.

Ethnic appointments reason Nigeria is underperforming – Osinbajo

 

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has explained why Nigerian governments underperforms.

Speaking in Delta State, the Vice President explained that ethnic consideration in appointments into public offices was one of the major reasons governments fail to deliver on their promises.
He,however, assured Nigerians that the Muhammadu Buhari administration was working hard to stem the tide.

According to Osinbajo, “Government must stand for something, some high values, there must be a moral platform.”
“Western liberal democracy upheld the ideas of merit, hard-work and sometimes that would be described as a puritanical work ethic and it’s my view that our own elite, political elite, religious elite and business elite must have some consensus on the important of values in our society.
“Let’s just take an example of those values, let’s just take merit as an example. If our choice is based on merit, it ensures it can guarantee the best performance.
“However, it appears that in matters concerning government and governance and the matters of even allocation of public resources, we prioritize ethnicity or even religion and political affiliation over merit.

“Merit always comes last in our considerations, this is why we underperform, and why we cannot perform well in matters of government and in the allocation of public resources.
