Full Text Of Buhari's Children Day Message

I heartily greet and felicitate with all Nigerian children on the occasion of this year’s Children’s Day celebration.
I seize the opportunity of this year’s celebration which comes just two days before the first anniversary of the present Administration, to reassure our children and youth that we remain fully committed to fulfilling our promise of a better Nigeria for all of our people.

On this happy occasion for our children, I reaffirm my belief that it is the right of every Nigerian child to have access to quality and affordable education, as well as healthcare and other basic necessities for a good life, in a peaceful and secure environment.
The good health and well-being of Nigerian children remain a top priority on our agenda for national development and we have demonstrated our strong commitment in this regard with the allocation of N12.6 billion in the 2016 budget for vaccines and programmes to prevent childhood killer diseases such as polio, measles and yellow fever.

Other measures in the 2016 budget, such as the school feeding programme for children at a cost of N93.1 billion, will ensure that more children go to school and enjoy the fun of learning and growing together with their peers.

Despite the current economic and funding challenges facing our dear nation, my administration will continue to do all within its powers to achieve better living conditions and greater access to quality healthcare and education for all our youth.
It is a thing of joy that on this year’s Children’s Day, we can also celebrate the safe return of one of the Chibok girls, Amina Ali Nkeki and many other abducted women and children who have been freed from the clutches of Boko Haram by our gallant troops.

I assure all Nigerians and friends of the country, once again, that my administration will not rest on its oars until the ungodly terrorist sect is totally eliminated from our country.

As peace gradually returns to the insurgency-ravaged North-Eastern States, the Federal Government will continue to work diligently to ensure the rapid and full reintegration and rehabilitation of all internally displaced persons, including orphaned children in the region.

We will also sustain and strengthen ongoing actions to protect children more effectively from violence, child-labour, child-trafficking, forced marriages and other related offences.

In return, I urge you all to imbibe and exhibit in greater measure, the virtues of hard work, diligence, discipline, honesty, prudence, selflessness and patriotism which are essential for the actualisation of our vision of a truly great nation.
The world now looks up to our dear nation, Nigeria as an exemplary model of democratic ideals after the smooth transition that brought our Administration to power.
You, our children and youth have a very significant role to play in ensuring that our democratic institutions of governance are continuously nurtured, improved and strengthened to underpin national development and prosperity.

Remain assured that under my leadership, the Federal Government will continue to do its best to prepare and equip you to show the world that with its brilliant, resourceful and resilient people, Nigeria is a country of incredible potential and opportunity.
I wish you all a Happy Children’s Day celebration.

Muhammadu Buhari

OAU SUB To Wear New Look

Newly Tiled Floors

Painted Walls on the inside of the building

Despite the indefinite suspension of the Students Union of the Obafemi Awolowo University, some renovation work have been observed in her Students Union building. The building which houses the office of the President of the Union, the Security Room, some other important offices and business establishments was noticed to wear a new look as most walls around the building had been repainted and some floors on the inside tiled. There are speculations that the renovation was done by the Division of Students Affairs in preparation to Usher in a new administration for the Union. However, efforts to reach the Dean and Vice Dean of Students Affairs proved abortive as their offices remain clogged by complainants having issues with bedspace allocation.

We would hope the speculations come out true as the Students community continue to remain improperly represented without an umbrella body.

FG Declares Monday Public Holiday

The Federal Government has declared Monday, May 30, 2016 as a public holiday to celebrate the 2016 Democracy Day.

In a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Bassey Akpanyung, he minister was quoted as saying, “Dambazau congratulates Nigerians on the attainment of one year in office of President Muhammadu Buhari and enjoined all to continue to support the President in his sustained effort in building a peaceful, enduring and democratic legacy.

“The minister wishes all Nigerians a happy Democracy Day celebration.”

"OAU VC Makes Personal Phone Number Available To All Students"- SLAN

Professor Bamitale Omole

Student Leaders’ Alliance of Nigeria (SLAN) has passed a vote of confidence on Prof Bamitale Omole, outgoing Vice-Chancellor (VC) of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The group, which comprised former students’ union leaders, condemned the recent attacks on the VC, saying the people behind them knew nothing about university administration.

In a statement by SLAN’s international coordinator Oluwaloseyi Babaeko, the group said Omole deserved commendation for improving the academic standard of the university, which global rating increased under his leadership.

Babaeko, a masters student at the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, said: “The call for the arrest and probe of Prof Omole shows desperation for vendetta among the faceless people, who do not like developments brought about by the outgoing VC. Their argument is not only shallow; it is laughable, baseless and lacks merit.”

He continued: “The propaganda against Prof Omole shows that the faceless people have no knowledge of history. Rather, Prof Omole deserves our respect and prayers. The misguided elements want to disparage and destroy the hard-earned reputation of Prof Omole through their parochial agenda. We condemn such act in its entirety.”
Babaeko said the VC runs an open-door policy and makes his personal phone number available to all students.

“For those of us who have been following and monitoring the activities of the VC, we are pleased to say it anywhere that Prof Omole has done well in administering OAU, despite the time frame. We plead with the VC to forgive those wicked individuals who want to rubbish his name. Prof Omole should act like a father,” he said.

SLAN also called for improved funding for the university, saying OAU needed resources to maintain its academic standard it appealed to the VC to reinstate all suspended students’ leaders.

Following the postponement of the Ife Fiesta, the organizers of the programme seem to have re-arranged and repackaged the Fiesta to give all VIPs and attendees the best of what Ile-Ife has to offer. Though the event was to hold during the Easter break, it had to be pushed forward to allow for more plans and a well organised concert.

The Fiesta is to enact the declaration of Ile-ife as a tourist zone by HRM Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II.

The event will be enjoying a lot of Media coverage and even a live broadcast ‎to Africa and the world. We are expecting 200 VVIPs and about 8,000 VIPS with about 30million people viewing from across the world.

We are opening up Ile-Ife to the world. It is for the world to know we have a King and a city in southwestern Nigeria that are open to massive partnerships from both Local Direct Investments and Foreign Direct Investments, and we are using tourism as a vehicle to make that happen". Ayo George concluded.

The event is slated to happen at Afewonro/Enuwa Square, Palace Of Ooni of Ife and Many Nigerian Celebrities are also expected to be present. Falz, Simi, 9ice, Lil Kesh and a whole lot of other Nigerian artistes are also expected to perform at the fiesta this weekend.
