BREAKING NEWD::---Federal government raised alarm, say River Niger is drying

River Niger is
drying up

– The Federal government has
raised its voice regarding the
drying up of River Niger
– According to the government,
the change is due to dumping of
industrial waste and climate
alterations
– Nigeria is conducting and
environmental audit to determine
the level of dryness
The alarm was raised on Thursday, May 19, at
a meeting in which the need to pay more attention to
the development was raised.
Vanguard reports that the Auditor General of the
Federation (AGF), Mr Samuel Tyonongo
Ukura, made the disclosure during a meeting with
the Edo state Auditor-General and members of
the Edo state public accounts committee in his office
in Abuja.
River Niger may be nearing extinction.
Ukura, however, assured that Nigeria was in the
process of conducting an environmental audit of the
River Niger to determine its level of dryness.
Meanwhile, AGoF has called on the National
Assembly to pass the Audit Bill into law. He
said there were certain international ratings that the
country cannot attain without passing an audit law.

Ukura explained that the initial investigation of the
River Niger showed that the decline of the river’s
flow was mainly due to climate change, industrial
waste and problems caused by population growth.
River Niger has a total length of about 4100
kilometres and is the third longest river in Africa,
after the Nile and the Congo-Zaire rivers and
spreads through ten countries.
It is estimated that about 110 million people live in
the river’s basin. Ukura said the audit will be done
under the African Supreme Audit Institute
(AFROSAI), with Mali, Niger,
Burkina Faso, Benin, Cameroon, Algeria,
Chad and Cote I’voire taking centre stage as they
are directly affected.

BREAKING NEWS:--Trouble looms as Amaechi, Sirika engage in power tussle

Trouble looms as Amaechi,
Sirika engage in power tussle

– Sirika is said to be showing
insubordination to his direct boss,
Amaechi
– Sources say this may not be
unconnected to his (Sirika’s)
relationship with President Buhari
– Amaechi is said not to be
taking the acts with a pinch of
salt
– Aviation workers express
disappointment over the public
squabbles of the ministers
There is a mild war brewing in President
Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet between Rotimi
Amaechi and Hadi Sirika, Signal reports.
Amaechi is Nigeria’s minister of Transport while
Sirika is the minister of state for Aviation and the
pair are said to be at loggerheads over reported acts
of insubordination by the latter.
According to Signal, sources revealed that both
ministers were close to exchanging physical blows on
Monday save for the intervention of some civil
servants and aides who were at the scene of the
disagreement.
Amaechi and Sirika are said to be at loggerheads
over acts of insubordination by the junior minister.
Sirika is reportedly reluctant to have Amaechi (a
senior minister and direct boss) push him around.
But the former Rivers state governor is on the
other hand, not having any of Sirika’s acts and is
working to put him in his place.
The reason for the junior minister’s acts, sources
disclosed, is the fact that he is from President
Buhari’s Katsina north senatorial district, where
he served as a senator.
A source explained details of the incident to
Signal thus: “It’s all about power tussle.
Sirika thinks Amaechi is overstepping
his boundaries and should mind his
business as Transport Minister. But
Amaechi is also in charge of
Aviation.
“He is the senior minister, while
Sirika as Minister of State for
Aviation is junior minister. But Sirika
sees himself as the President’s guy.
So, he refuses to take directives from
Amaechi and now Amaechi is feeling
undermined.
“This has led to a big power play
between both men. It is becoming so
messy that even the official portraits
of both ministers are missing at the
airports. That’s why Amaechi was
doing maritime summit in Lagos
while Sirika was doing aviation in
Abuja.”
