Why we started Good Governance Ministry (GGM)- July 2024

The problem with our current political class is greed and abnormal appetite for consumption and perhaps building an unsustainable consumption pattern.

The northern and south western political and military Elites are using the advantages of civil war that ended in 1970 to exploit and enslave the victims of that war and sadly the entire Nigerian masses ended up being the victims. The political and military elites have continued to use unitary constitution in the name of federal constitution to retain political power at the centre ,thereby frustrating innovation and creativity that would have enhanced a productive environment where every Nigerian would be engaged in viable activities.They abhor true federalism which will guarantee equitable redistribution of our natural resources.

The political ,business, military and religious elites have amassed so much wealth for the generations of their children and grand children, hence the widening income inequalities that have threatened the corporate existence of Nigeria.

Everything is wrong with current Nigeria system.The system is designed and structured to keep the working class in perpetual slavery while the poor are abandoned in state of penury .

Millions of youths in Nigeria are jobless and those in Europe and America work as modern slaves . These political and military elites are heartless and most wicked that they have sold their souls to the devil!

Millions of Nigerians are too docile when it comes to the issue of politics ,Governance and holding people in Government accountable,hence GGM has come to give the working class and the ordinary people sense of direction .

GGM is here to build a modern society that will meet the expectations of 21st century and beyond . GGM working with a revolutionary online media – BVI Channel 1 and with like-minded people across our political space is determined to take Nigeria political class by storm and like rampaging soldiers will bulldoze the entire criminal political structures in Nigeria . We have proven that the power of the people is supreme and we shall continue mobilizing the power in line with Constitution of FGN chapter 14(2a &b)

We have learnt an obvious lesson : that the leader of GGM – Chinedu Asuzu or any chosen candidate can win the Governor of Anambra State or any chosen State : for the power of the people is the greatest. They have been deceiving and dividing the people with money , ethnicity and religion . Now ,we are wise ,we will choose our Leaders goingforward no matter how long it takes!

The awareness has been created and people eyes have been opened to know that political power belongs to the people .

Good Governance Ministry is here to organize the people to pursue ideological politics . The Nigerian politicians could disappoint the people but GGM will always be there for the ordinary people.

We are on the part of history.

Breaking: Electricity Consumers Humiliate EEDC In Court

EEDC through the lawyers today at Enugu High Court, sought for interlucutory injuction against SEECA, to stop SEECA from educating SouthEast electricity consumers on their rights and obligations.

The Judge refused granting the application and slated the main suit for hearing on the 26th July, 2024.

We must peacefully intensify our efforts and remain resolute on our demand of No prepaid meter, no payment on estimated and bulk billings.

EEDC is owing consumers of electricity on estimated and bulk N11. 8 billion naira.

We righteously demand that EEDC exercise restraints, stop billing all owed consumers of electricity until they have been credited with the over-billed.
We urge
consumers(individuals and communities on bulk), to login to NERC website and find out how much being owed, then demand from EEDC to pay forthwith.

The SouthEast must be lighted.

Remain blessed!

Gov Mbah Begins Construction of 8 Science, Technical, Vocational Schools Across Enugu State

The Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has commenced the construction of eight Science, Technical, and Vocational (STV) Schools in the state, starting with the Government Technical College, GTC, Enugu

This was made known by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ndubueze Mbah, during the inspection of work at the GTC, Enugu, on Wednesday, adding that there would be three models of the STV Schools focusing on Science and Technology; Building and Architecture; and Industrial Agriculture.

He regretted that the GTC, Enugu, had lost its glory, reiterating the determination of the Mbah Administration to refocus the young ones of the state on science, technical, and vocational education underlined by practical learning to help them fit into the 21st Century industry.

“As you could see, this historic institution established in 1948 has lost its former glory. The buildings all around us are in different stages of dilapidation.

“But we are happy to share with Ndi Enugu the good news that the Enugu State Government has already embarked on a very audacious education reform project to establish eight brand new Science, Technical, and Vocational Schools servicing SS1 to SS3 in the STVSMB category of schools, starting with GTC.

“The governor believes that we are now in a new age of industry and technology. So, we want to bring back the lost glory of GTC, but making sure that it reflects the new opportunities and realities of industrialisation, of economic development, and of youth empowerment

“We will be establishing one new STV School in each of the eight federal constituencies in Enugu State over the next two years. The very first is being sited at this historic location, GTC, Enugu.

“There will be three models of the Science Technical and Vocational schools. The first model is focusing on science and technology. These are schools that are going to train our young people, who have finished from basic schools and the Enugu Smart Green Schools as well as graduates, who have no job. We are going to train them in the areas of emerging technology, preparing them to be ready for industry, the areas of robotics, mechatronics, coding, programming, ICT, and others with the objective of getting these young people ready for industry.

“The other model is the School of Building and Architecture. These are vocational schools where our children will learn all components of building – from bricklaying to electricals, plumbing, roofing, among others. We will manufacture our materials in these schools and we will build.

“The third model is the Science Technical and Vocational School of Industrial Agriculture,” he said.

Prof Mbah also announced the government’s plan to additionally build a smart green school at the GTC, Enugu, premises to ensure easy pathway to science, technical and vocational education in this same environment for the students.

He said the initiative reflected the administration’s 33 per cent allocation to the education sector in the Enugu State 2024 budget, adding that the government equally planned to build smart secondary schools across the state.

“We have model senior secondary schools that are also smart schools that are forthcoming. And there is also historic milestone investment in our tertiary institutions. So, this is once again a very important milestone in the achievement of the educational reform vision of Governor Mbah for Enugu State,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the Principal of GTC, Enugu, Mr. Christopher Isife, described the STV School project at GTC as a game changer for the long forgotten and dilapidated institution.

“It has never been better in the past years of our existence as a college, but today, the talk and do governor has come to wipe away our tears. So, the GTC community, students, and teachers are very, very happy and we are grateful to him,” he said.

Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange Reserves Hit $34.7 Billion 

Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange (FX) reserves climbed to a peak of $34.7 billion based on figures from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s website.

Naija News reports that this marks a rise of $110 million from the day before, which stood at $34.5 billion.

Over the last seven days, the reserves have been on the rise, accumulating an increase of $316 million since July 1.

 

This surge can be attributed to various reasons, such as the recent uptick in oil prices, better remittances from the diaspora, and the Central Bank’s initiatives to stabilize the local currency.

 

Analysts see this rise in international currency holdings as beneficial for Nigeria’s economy, as it offers protection against external disturbances and bolsters the nation’s capacity to fulfil its financial commitments.

A recent assessment by Fitch Ratings has given a favourable outlook to Nigeria’s economic situation, highlighting major reforms that have brought back macroeconomic stability and improved the consistency and reliability of its policies.

 

Fitch said, “The positive outlook partly reflects reforms over the last year, which have reduced distortions stemming from previous unconventional monetary and exchange rate policies.”

Breaking: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger Finally Pull Out Of ECOWAS, Form New Confederation

The military leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger signed a new “confederation” treaty on Saturday after they convened for a maiden summit in the Nigerien capital, Niamey.

The heads of the three countries, who came to power through coups in recent years, “decided to take a step further towards greater integration between the member states” and “adopted a treaty establishing a confederation”, they said in a statement at the end of Saturday’s summit.

In January, the three countries severed ties with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), accusing the bloc of being influenced by the West.

The “Confederation of Sahel States” uses the acronym AES and will have about 72 million people.

All three countries broke their military and defence ties with France and turned towards Russia instead.

“Our people have irrevocably turned their back on ECOWAS,” said General Abdourahamane Tiani, the head of Niger’s military government, as he opened the summit.

Relations between ECOWAS deteriorated following a July 2023 coup that brought Tiani to power, with ECOWAS imposing sanctions and even threatening to intervene militarily to restore the ousted president, Mohamed Bazoum.

The sanctions were lifted in February, but relations between the two sides have not improved.

The move comes before ECOWAS’s leader’s summit on Sunday in Abuja, where the new alliance will certainly be on the agenda.

The AES countries had earlier entered a military alliance in March to combat the extremist groups that regularly attack their territory.

Paris 2024: Super Falcons midfielder ruled out due to injury

Midfielder Halimat Ayinde, a vital member of the team, will miss the tournament after sustaining a knee injury.
Just a day after the official announcement of the Super Falcons squad for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, a key player has been sidelined due to injury.

Midfielder Halimat Ayinde, a vital member of the team, will miss the tournament after sustaining a knee injury during training with her Swedish club, Rosengård.

The club confirmed the devastating news on their social media account, stating, “Halimatu Ayinde injured her knee during training and will miss the Olympics. We wish her a speedy recovery.”

Ayinde’s absence is a blow to the Super Falcons, as she’s battled injuries in recent times, missing crucial games for both club and country.

“With a heavy heart, I announce I won’t be part of the Super Falcons for the Olympics. I’m deeply grateful to FC Rosengård and my teammates for their support and love. Best of luck to my fellow Super Falcons. I’ll be cheering for you and will return stronger. Go Superfalcons!!. Ayinde also wrote on her x page.

Aside from featuring at the U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada with the Falconets in 2014, Ayinde was also part of the Super Falcons at the Women’s World Cup in France and the recently jointly hosted tournament by Australia and New Zealand.

The 29-year-old has also featured in two editions of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Waldrum to name a replacement

With the Olympics approaching, head coach Randy Waldrum will need to name a replacement for Ayinde. The frontrunners for the spot include Jumoke Alani, Ifeoma Onumonu, Gift Monday, and Morufa Ademola who are on the alternate list released on Wednesday.

Waldrum’s initial selection for the Paris Games included a mix of seasoned veterans and promising youngsters. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, and defender Osinachi Ohale bring experience to the squad alongside star forward Asisat Oshoala who will be leading the attack.

Tough mission in Paris

The Super Falcons will begin their preparations for the Olympics with a two-week training camp in Sevilla, Spain.

Their quest for Olympic gold gets underway on 25 July against Brazil at the Stade Bordeaux.

They will then face Spain at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes on 28 July followed by their final group stage match against Japan at the same venue on 31 July.
