The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has increased the monthly allowance of corps members to N33, 000.

Corps members were getting N19, 800 until the latest review.

Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, announced the increase during a working visit to the NYSC secretariat in Bauchi.

He said the increase is in line with the new minimum wage approved by the federal government.

In a statement on the official Facebook page of NYSC, Ibrahim informed provisions for the new allowance have been made in the 2020 budget and “payment would commence as soon as funds are released by the appropriate authorities”.

The DG had pledged the monthly allowance of corps members would be increased “immediately the federal government starts the payment of the new minimum wage”.

Your monthly allowance would be increased immediately the Federal Government starts the payment of the new minimum wage to all public servants nationwide,” he said in an address delivered at the NYSC orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.

“Efforts are in top gear at all levels to ensure adequate welfare for all corps members.”

President Muhammadu Buhari signed the new minimum wage bill into law in April 2019.

The call by the Minority Leader of the Senate,  Enyinnaya Abaribe,  on the  President,  Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to resign immediately based on Buhari’s inability to curtail the alarming security challenges in the country caused a stir on the floor of the red chamber on Wednesday.

Abaribe spoke after the Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi,  presented his motion on rising security challenges in the country.

Abaribe said the attitude of the president to insecurity in the country,  surprised him.

He said those who live by propaganda will die by propaganda.

Abaribe said he was building up to the fact that they said Boko Haram has been defeated.

He said the hard work that was supposed to be done to secure the country was not done because of the propaganda.

He said excuses for non-performance is now staring them in the face.

He said Niger and Jos killings by  Boko Haram terrorists indicated that the insurgency war was far from over.

He said the opposition members in the National Assembly are of the opinion that Buhari should resign from office.

He said,  “Nigerians will go to the government and ask the government to resign because they did not elect the chief of staff, the police IG, service chiefs and others.

“Nigerians voted a government into power. We are going with  stones to stone them now because they have failed.”

When the uproar generated by Abaribe subsided,  Senator Abdullahi Adamu said Abaribe’s submissions were unnecessary.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan,  also appealed to his colleagues to approach the issue with caution.

Meanwhile,  the senators also protested when the Deputy President of the Senate,  Ovie Omo-Agege, in his contribution vehemently opposed the creation of state police on account of paucity of funds crippling the states and possible abuse by the state governors.

Abia State House of Assembly on Tuesday upon resumption from Christmas break considered a Bill proposing the establishment of number plate production authority as a way to boost the revenue base of the state, ABN TV reports.

The Bill sponsored by Hon Ginger Onwusibe, the Member representing Isialangwa North State Constituency if passed into law will ease the burden Abians pass through in attempt to register their vehicles.

Hon. Onwusibe said, “If we Establish an Authority to produce Number Plates, there is no doubt that it will generate revenue for Abia State”.

He continued, “Sometimes when our people buy their cars and go to register them, it lingers on for one week thereabout because of unavailability of the Number Plates.

“It will also help to create direct and indirect employments”.

He also argued that it is not the exclusive right of the federal government to legislate on matters of this nature.

In his contribution, the Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, said the Bill is a simple one that seeks to partner with the Federal Road Safety Commission to see to the production and availability of number plates in Abia.

It is even easier to get other States’ number plates than that of Abia State. That is why over 70% of us have their private cars registered with either Abuja or Lagos instead of having Abia on the Number Plates” The Speaker said.

ABN TV reports that the Bill was thereafter committed to the Joint Committee on Finance and Transportation for further input.

The House adjourned Plenary to Wednesday, 29th Day of January 2020.

The Returning Officer of the election, Emma Anakwuba, announced the results and returned the PDP candidate under tight security at INEC’s office in Owerri on Tuesday.

This declaration is coming three days after political thugs invaded INEC’s collation centre in collation, tore the election results, accusing the electoral umpire of compromising the exercise.

INEC had already collated results of 14 out of 18 polling units before the hoodlums struck.

The results of the remaining four polling units were collated at the INEC’s headquarters in Owerri on Tuesday and thereafter a winner was announced.

The returning officer said that the PDP candidate polled 22,475 votes to emerge the winner.

Inter Milan sign Eriksen from Tottenham

0

Inter Milan announced the signing of Danish international midfielder Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.

Eriksen, 27, signed a contract until 2024 with the Italian giants after the clubs reached an agreement for a reported transfer fee of 20 million euros (£17 million, $22 million).

“It’s wonderful to be here and I’m happy to be a new Inter player

“I’m very excited and can’t wait to introduce myself to the fans. I’ve already experienced their warmth, it’s been a fantastic welcome. I feel great,” Eriksen told Inter TV.

Eriksen made 305 appearances for Spurs after joining from Ajax in 2013, scoring 69 goals.

The Danish international was a key part of the side that reached last season’s Champions League final and finished in the top four of the Premier League for the past four seasons under Mauricio Pochettino.

However, he refused to extend his contract with the north London club beyond the end of this season, meaning a departure was inevitable either this month or on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.

Eriksen expressed his desire to move at the end of last season and was jeered by some Spurs fans in recent games as speculation over his future grew.

Reported interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona never materialised and Eriksen was keen for a fresh challenge in Serie A, particularly under the orders of Inter coach Antonio Conte.

“I was able to get to know him when I was at Tottenham, we came up against his Chelsea side and it was very difficult. I’m excited to learn more about him and how his sides play,” added Eriksen.

“The numbers say that I did really well in England. It’s now time to start a new challenge, I’m really happy to have the opportunity to play in Serie A for a big team. Inter is a fantastic club.”

Eriksen becomes Inter’s third signing of the January window after the arrivals of Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea as they aim to end Juventus’ stranglehold on the Serie A title.

Conte’s men are three points behind Juve at the top of the table, but their title challenge has stumbled of late with three consecutive draws.

Tottenham also confirmed the permanent signing of Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis to replace Eriksen on Tuesday.
