WHO TAKES OVER AT THE LOANS BOARD? SOBA OR SALAMATU?


Since the exit of the immediate past Executive Secretary of the Federal Loans Board, Hajia Hannatu Fika, there seems to be simmering crisis as to who takes over the reins of leadership.  Whereas Hajia Hannatu made no secret of her desire for Hajia Salamatu Ahmed to take over, the mantle however fell on Muhammed Soba to act as the Executive Secretary, being the most senior director at the time. But he is due for retirement next April, 2020. His brief tenure has strangely produced no result instead stifling the growth of the loans board. Insiders say, since his assumption of office, he has spent a deal of time sleeping on the job with hundreds of files remaining in the cooler. To date, no Developer has been paid and fewer subscribers have received payment either. The situation is said to be worrisome unlike the good old days when Fika was in charge and not a few enjoyed relief. Efforts to speak to Mohammed Soba proved abortive as he is said not to favor granting the Press access. “He sits in the office studying files and at the end do nothing about it”, said a staff who prefer to remain anonymous. “The way things are now, if Mohammed continues in office, this Loans board will be shot down”, he added. According to popular opinion, Hajia Salamatu Ahmed is the favored choice of majority of staff as well as the board. Therefore it would be no surprise when in April, she is named the substantive Executive Secretary because history has shown that she will be a better performer.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from.

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
