Licenced to Kill?
With the ex- President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Festus Iyayi, becoming the latest victim of dangerous driving and disregard for traffic rules, a habit common among elected public officials, Chineme Okafor writes on the abnormality that has become the norm in Nigeria
To be elected as a public official in Nigeria nowadays seems a licence for impunity. For instance, dangerous driving has become a common place on Nigerian roads with elected public officials’ convoy responsible for several auto accidents and deaths in recent times.
Yes, dangerous driving elsewhere attract imprisonment and fine, but in Nigeria elected officials and government appointees brazenly drive dangerously without being charged for their reckless act. Indeed, receiving a dangerous driving charge is one of the most serious motoring offences all over the world.
The death exactly last week of a one-time President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Festus Iyayi in a grisly auto accident that also involved an alleged convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada has again brought to the fore reckless driving that is associated with convoys elected officials on Nigerian roads.
2014 budget: Reps, Senate disagree on oil benchmark
The House of Representatives on Thursday adopted a crude oil benchmark of $79 per barrel for the 2014 budget.
This is in sharp contrast to the position of the Senate which pegged it at $76.50 as announced on Wednesday. President Goodluck Jonathan had proposed $74 for the 2014 fiscal year.
The reps took the position when they considered and approved the report of the House Joint Committee on Finance/Budget/Loans and Debt Management on the 2014-2016 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper.
The MTEF/FSP must precede the budget of the incoming year in compliance with the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007.
It sets out government’s spending projections and revenues for the next three years as the current financial year winds down.

The dancehall artiste who rose from poverty as an orphan, to build a successful and inspiring career as a songwriter, recording artiste, TV presenter and performer, passed on in Lagos today, following a brief illness. He was 36 years old.

He had a brief stint at NTA in Lagos, after relocating here, before signing a deal with Ultima Records which released his early albums.
