Response to NULGE Protest to Govt House:
KWSG Not Constitutionally Responsible for LG Salaries
Today, people purporting to be National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) members converged at Government House, Ilorin demanding audience with the Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed who was then preparing for his ongoing interaction with state workers which started last Monday.
The workers were offered three options: Select ten officials to meet with the Governor, come into government house as a body to meet with the Governor or wait till after his meeting with state civil servants and come into the Banquet Hall for your dialogue.
The workers refused all three options, insisting that the Governor Ahmed comes out to address them at the gate. However, His Excellency was advised against this option by the Police and other security agencies present in the interest of public order and the fact that the protesting workers had been infiltrated by suspected miscreants.
While the Abdulfatah Ahmed administration sympathises with the workers regarding the unfortunate salary crises at the local government level, the Kwara State Government is not constitutionally responsible for payment of local government workers' salaries.
As everyone is aware, the local government arrears were caused by the huge drop in their Federal allocation from N2.7b to N1b monthly.
Meanwhile, salaries of basic education teachers alone is N1.2b monthly. As a result, the administration has helped them by augmenting allocation and approving bank loans in the past.
However, the local governments currently lack the capacity to repay bank loans while the state government, which has also suffered a 40% drop in its monthly allocation, cannot afford to augment local government allocation from its meager resources which barely cover state workers and pensioners.
We advise the workers to be patient and make do with their reduced allocation as it is a national problem while government strives to increase Internally Generated Revenue and block leakages through the ongoing workers verification.
Finally, we must emphasize that the recent reprioritization of SUBEB workers' salaries by JAAC was a unanimous decision of its technical committee which included Local Government chairmen and their treasurers. The decision was announced at a meeting which had NULGE officials in attendance.

Boko Haram cyber terrorists behind Dubai property allegations – Army Chief
Boko Haram cyber terrorists behind Dubai property allegations – Army Chief
Source: Punch
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has described those behind the issue of the acquisition of two properties by his family in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, as defeated Boko Haram terrorist on migration to the nation’s cyberspace.
Buratai said that the cyber terrorists would be defeated the same way their counterparts on land were defeated by the Nigerian Army under his leadership in the North East.
He said that the Army was already developing its cyber warriors to counter the nefarious intents of the terrorists on migration to the Internet and online media houses.
The Army Chief said that the Federal Government had already made clarifications on the issue of the properties in Dubai through a statement that was issued by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali on Monday.
The Defence Minister had said that the report on the properties was an attempt by some persons to distract the leadership of the Armed Forces from the successful prosecution of the heightened campaign against terrorism in the North East.
Dan-Ali who described the report as a campaign of calumny targeting the image of the Army Chief, explained that the the Army Chief had declared the properties before the Code of Conduct Bureau which could be verified.
Buratai said that the Army would not be distracted by the antics of those behind the report in its efforts to ensure national security.
He stated also that the allegation that refurbished equipment were procured in the fight against the insurgents was part of the campaign of calumny masterminded by the cyber terrorists.
He said, “I am not supposed to comment on this because the Federal Government has already made a statement on that through the Ministry of Defence. But if you want my take on the issue, it is that we have already defeated the terrorists and the insurgents on the land, now they have migrated to the cyberspace, they have migrated to the Internet and other electronic media and so on.
“We want to assure them that these terrorists, the Boko Haram terrorists, who have migrated to the cyberspace, we will follow them to that cyberspace, and equally defeat them and clear their doubts.
“We are meeting all the terrorists in the cyberspace, we have defeated them, in the battle ground. We are developing our own cyber warriors and we will defeat them as we have done in the North East.
“The issue of the refurbished equipment is still part of campaign of calumny. I refer you to the theatre commander. We are doing internal audit, they know my position. We will continue to do that. Definitely, the way we defeated them, we will defeat them in the cyber space.”

Forgery Suit: Senate issues fresh summon on AGF
Forgery Suit: Senate issues fresh summon on AGF
Source: Punch
The Senate, through its committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, on Tuesday, issued a fresh summon to the Attorney – General of the Federation, who is also the Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami.
Malami was being invited by the senate for instituting a forgery case against the presiding officers of the upper chamber, and two top management staff of the National Assembly.
The senate had first summoned Malami, following a motion moved by Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West Senatorial District, who relied on order 14 and 52, to demand the approval of his colleagues for his two prayers including the invitation of the AGF and the genuineness of the rule book.
The senate, had approved the two prayers through voice votes while Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the session, asked the Judiciary, to summon Malami, within 48 hours and interrogate him on the issue.
The red chamber therefore mandated its panel to within two days summon the AGF to explain and justify with evidence the basis for his action.
The senators also wanted the committee to find out from Malami to tell them, whether his action did not constitute gross misconduct, incompetence, contempt of court and abuse of office.
Malami, did not honour the invitation of the senators last week Thursday, but sent a letter to the committee, stating his reasons for his absence.
The senate panel in its fresh summon dated June 27 and signed by its Chairman, Senator David Umaru, asked Malami to appear before it on Thursday, by noon.
Part of the letter, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent on Tuesday, reads,
“I write with reference to your (AGF) correspondence on the above subject matter with Ref. HAGF/NASS/ZOIG/Vol.1/24, dated 23rd June, 2016, whereby you requested for an adjournment of the meeting of the Committee, which was supposed to hold on Thursday, June 23, 2016, to enable you prepare your response.
“The Committee has considered your request and having regard to the reason adduced, acceded to the request for an adjournment.
“Accordingly, the meeting is now scheduled to hold on Thursday 30th June 2016 at 12 noon prompt.
“The venue is Senate Meeting Room 31.3, 3rd Floor, New Senate Building, National Assembly Complex. You are by this letter invited to appear before the mentioned place above.”
The senate at plenary on Tuesday, after a two-hour closed session, summoned Malami, over the planned prosecution of Saraki and Ekweremadu, for allegedly forging the Senate Standing Order 2015
