Just in. President @MBuhari has approved the reduction in the cost of Forms for JAMB UTME, NECO SSCE and the Basic Education Certificate Examination.

With effect from January 2019 the cost of JAMB UTME Form will drop from N5,000 to N3,500. NECO will drop from N11,350, to N9,850.
Minister of Education Adamu Adamu announced this just now at today’s #FECBrief. He said President @MBuhari directed the Ministry to look into the reduction following the significant improvement in revenues being remitted to the Treasury by the Education Agencies.
The Exam Agencies are not meant to be revenue generating bodies, they’re only supposed to cover costs/operating expenses. The sharp increase in remittances by JAMB(from less than N60m in 2010–2016 to >N15 BILLION in 2017/18) have shown that the fees being charged could be reduced

You haven’t heard the last of the Amaechi ‘tapes’. We are dealing with Principalities & Powers, who‘ll go to any lengths to fight dirty.

1. One of the fraudulently edited clips:

2. The original clip below. See how they edited out the ‘Corruption’ context
Let me summarize it for you. You can confirm what I’m saying in the audio clips above: the published one (taken from the @PremiumTimesng website / YouTube), and the original clip.

You be the judge, and check out the subtle, fraudulent, but professionally done edits yourself.
All over the clips are SUBTLE alterations like this, intended to change context. Cut out a few clarifying words here; join two unrelated bits very cleanly & professionally to alter the meaning/context

It’s actually very depressing - that anyone would go to these devious lengths.

#president @KRLS "No tinc xofers ni seguretat, però tinc gent que ajuda. És evident que l'Estat em considera "caça major", però no pots viure amb paranoia constant. Qui ha de viure amb por són els criminals, no nosaltres" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "Matí i nit intento parlar amb la dona i les nenes i fer els deures amb elles. Curiosament quan era a Catalunya no podia fer-ho. El dia a dia és a dins de la Casa, si no no surto" #QuatreGatsTV3

As part of measures being taken by government to enhance performance in the Public Service, President @MBuhari has approved a new and improved Performance Management Framework for Government Owned Enterprises (GOEs).
The objective is to raise revenue generation and the associated remittances into the government treasury.
Due to their huge potentials, GOEs are categorized into self-funded, partially funded or fully funded, to generate significant revenues for funding the Federal Budget, as obtainable in other economies around the world.

2019 Elections: We challenge President @MBuhari and the @OfficialAPCNg to name any key development project their administration has initiated and completed in any part of the country, particularly, in Buhari’s North West geo-political zone.
We also challenge President @MBuhari to name any tangible economic policy direction articulated by his administration to end poverty or lift the faces of Nigerians, apart from attempts to butter them up with contemptible, penny-pinching monetary handouts
Nigerians were deceived to vote in President @MBuhari in 2015, thinking he was pro-poor and prudent only for them to be confronted with the most corrupt, deceitful and incompetent administration which has no commitment towards fulfilling any of its campaign promises.

Good news:
1. FG has approved 0 % equity contribution for housing loans below N5m. Once you're are 18years above, working in public or private sector, you are qualified. Go & look for PMI to secure the loan. It's your money & it is for a duration of at least 25yrs.
2. FG has also just approved the reduction in equity contribution for housing loans of N6m to N15m from 20% to 10% . Go look for PMI pls. It is your MONEY. Stop paying house rent, you can be a landlord once you are 18years above.
3. You can obtain NHF via ur PMI within 3 to 5months if you have a serious and committed PMI. Please don’t let anyone deceived you on Facebook, go and apply. Look for a developer that works with a PMI. You will get it.
