RUMBLE IN FIRS OVER FOWLER’S HANDLING OF STAFF AFFAIRS


All may not be well in the apex Federal Inland Revenue Service of Nigeria over perceived mishandling of staff matters. As a result, staff are up in arms bemoaning their faith in the hands of Chief Babatunde Fowler the current Executive Chairman whose tenure expires December 10, 2019. According to reports reaching our desk, the staff are groaning over lack of vacancies in the Establishment created by the chairman’s frequent attitude of bringing in those regarded as “outsiders”. Over time these “outsiders” have filled the vacancies “insiders” are supposed to vie for. Now they hardly write promotion exams.  “I have been a deputy director now for six years and I watch and see how they bring in people from outside”, lamented Mr. Isaac. In addition, Fowler is believed to have cut out all allowances usually entitled to staff, including capacity building overseas. ‘This man has also reduced our imprest and instead he uses strange contractors to supply the same thing that we normally purchase ourselves with imprest”, said the same Mr. Isaac.
Besides, Babatunde Fowler is said to have a penchant for doling out employment to senators, members of Reps, Ministers, and other top associates just for the want of it. “This is wrong, as he is downgrading professionalism”, said the source. “FIRS is no longer what it was, and now, this Establishment that generates so much for the nation is just about to be reduced to nothing”, added the source.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
