There’s a reason why Odinkalu is silent about location of this road, LOL. If it was Kaduna he’d have included that info, incl GPS coords

Anyways Twitter says this is Nekede-Ihiagwa Road in Owerri, Imo. Been like this for a decade, going by this 2012 video
Interestingly, @ChidiOdinkalu is from Imo State, so he likely knows the road well. He won’t tag his State Govt, or call their attention to it. Because he’s not really concerned about the road, just sees this video as a tool to use to indulge one of his fave childish pastimes.
He knows the truth about the road, so the only way it can work for him is to remove the context, and present it the way he has. Everything smartly done. That’s how the Disinformator-General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria operates.
Like Chidi like Cheta. Not sure who learnt the work first. But it’s the same manual 😂

I want to tell the story of how this State House / Presidential Villa logo came to be. You may have seen it on some publicity materials (State House Press Briefing banner from prev admin, etc) from the State House.

It’s a thread. Image
Sometime in Feb 2016, shortly after I was appointed by PMB, I thought, everyone knows what the White House looks like, why isn’t there a similar visual equivalent - a symbol - for the Aso Rock Villa, seat of the Nigerian Presidency since 1991.
Good question, eh. Then a challenge came up. The White House is a single building, that houses both the residence and the office of the US President.
Aso Rock on the other hand is a sprawling assemblage of buildings. President’s residence and office are separate buildings.

Taiwo Oyedele an excellent candidate to lead this Tax work. Was Vice Chair of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee(NTPIC) set up to implement the 2017 National Tax Policy(NTP) for Nigeria. It was that work that led to introduction of the Finance Acts 2019—2022
#Thread
The then Minister of Finance, @HMKemiAdeosun set up, Aug 2016, a National Tax Policy Review Committee (NTPRC), chaired by Prof Abiola Sanni. NTPRC produced a revised National Tax Policy for Nigeria (FEC approval Feb 2017) updating the original Tax Policy first developed in 2012.

Following the FEC approval of the revised Tax Policy 2017, @HMKemiAdeosun set up a National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC) in April 2017. That Committee submitted its report on February 2, 2018. Its work produced drafts of 2 Executive Orders and 5 Amendment Bills.

I have to say that the thing that strikes me the most about the "corridors of power" in Nigeria is the sheer impermanence, the volatility, of it all. The fact that nobody is above falling out of power/favor, and nobody beyond rehabilitation, redemption.
I spend a lot of time thinking about this.
No Permanent Condition: See Ibori, superpower under OBJ/Yar'Adua, next thing GEJ enters & he's forced into exile in Dubai, next thing UK prison. Or Diezani, from co-President of Nigeria to London exile, unable to step foot in Naija 8 yrs. Or Asari, the 'Nnamdi Kanu' of the 2000s:

Student Loan Bill signed into law by PBAT today provides for estab of a "Nigerian Education Loan Fund" that'll be "domiciled with, managed & administered by @cenbank through the money deposit banks in Nigeria." Earlier version envisaged a "Nigerian Education Bank", now discarded.
@cenbank Some useful background: Decree 50 of June 1993 by President IBB (later an Act) established a Nigerian Education Bank (EDUBANK), to replace the old Student Loans Board.
EDUBANK did take-off at the time, appears to have operated till late 90s/early 2000s, and then became defunct. ImageImage
The Bill signed by PBAT today—The "STUDENTS LOANS (ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION) ACT, 2023"—repeals and replaces that "Nigerian Education Bank Act" of 1993.
