NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
Nigeria's ministerial screening began on Monday in the Nigerian House of Senate. The exercise has so far generated mixed feelings from Nigerians, both of anxiety and excitement. Notable nominees that have been screened include Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Mrs. Amina Mohammed, Former Governor of Lagos state Babatunde Raji Fashola, and others including the present General Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachukwu, and Dr. Chris Ngige.
Below are some of the key points that were made during the exercise:
Dr. Ibe Kachukwu
- On transparency in the oil sector
- "I will ensure transparency, that is why we ordered PWC to carry out a forensic audit. Transparency is key in the petroleum industry. Speed is also very important. Time is money."
- On the Petroleum Industry Bill passed in June
- "15 billion dollars is lost every year as a result of the absence of this bill."
- On the performance of Nigerian refineries
- "The current average performance level of our refineries is 25-28 percent."
Mr. Babatunde Fashola
- On Lagos debt
- "The economy needs a stimulus. We must borrow….We don't borrow to pay salaries or buy generators, We borrow for capital expenditures."
- On revenue and income generation
- "We are investing more outside the country than we are in the country which is the major challenge….This nation has a lot of money outside its borders. Nigerians are investing more abroad."
- On loyalty
- "Nobody can fairly accuse me of giving my word and going back on my word….I have remained loyal to causes I signed to. I stand by my word."
- On crime
- "Government exists to protect citizens and their assets, therefore criminals are my competitors."
Mrs. Amina Mohammed
- On national planning
- "On the stock market, we need partnerships to develop this country and grow domestic relationships."
- On her experience at the United Nations
- "Accountability around the world is what people are looking for…The SDG's should be incorporated into the 2020 vision for Nigeria"
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
