By editor - 1 min ago

Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians not to give up on the nation in the face of unabating violence and misery, stressing that Nigeria has all it takes to overcome its challenges.

The Ex-President who stated this in his Easter goodwill message also enjoined Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, unity, sacrifice and hardwork as necessary instruments for the fixing of what has gone wrong in our society.

He said: “Through our faith and collective actions, we will overcome the tempests of violence, misery and insecurity that threaten our nation.”

“Easter is a time Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who offered Himself as a sacrifice for the remission of the sins of the world. Christ’s resurrection as a testimony of the new covenant is the justification for Christians’ commemoration of the triumph of life over death, freedom over bondage and hope over despair, at this time.

“I, therefore, urge us not to give up on our ourselves and our nation no matter the challenges that confront us today. At all times we must remain resolute on our love for God and our nation and work towards building a country that we can all be proud of.

“Through our faith and collective actions, we will overcome the tempests of violence, misery and insecurity that threaten our nation. We are more than conquerors and the future of our nation is bright, if we work as one.

“May God fill our homes with peace, love and joy even as we enjoy the abundance of Grace that Easter brings. Happy Easter!

There is no way a Nation can plan without the population

Dr Ahaji Bello

Director National population commission.
Appreciate the media for identifying with the occasions, first next to senses the most important function of the commission is civil and vital registration, is collecting data of birth and death ,and to extending marriages and divorces. We have just review on how far have we cover as a nation. Regard this important function,far as the statistics, the cover age is not as it suppose to be ,we aught to cover about 100% ideally.
    By the time we are able to cover the birth registration we can use it to validate and to known how many children has been given birth and the birth certificate ,funding is the challenges for now and we need to be able to reach the nulece and craning of the country.
     For instance you want to mobilize to local government that have two centres and five hundred thousand population, the centres or office will not be enough to cover efficiency, we need enough personnel,and the personnel need to be motivated and provided with the necessary working, I have been discussing with my commissioner who is the chairman of the vital and statistics on how we can increase the coverage, but it has to be supported and adequately funded in order to actualize the desired result.
   We need the government support to enable us to discharge our duties effectively.

The deputy senate president ,Ike Ekweremadu : 9th Assembly will shun politics in tackling national issues.

07:13AM

April 13, 2019

Chidimma Ihenacho, Abuja

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, says the ninth National Assembly will rise above political, religious and ethnic divide to address the myriads of challenges facing the Nigerian people.

According to a statement by his media aide, Uche Anichukwu, on Friday, Ekweremadu spoke on Thursday night during a dinner to mark the end of the orientation programme organised for the elected federal lawmakers in Abuja.

While describing the National Assembly as a microcosm of Nigeria, he observed that bringing together the members-elect from across the country had helped them to share basic legislative knowledge.

He also said the programme had helped them to familiarise with one another and better appreciate the peculiar challenges faced by various parts of the country.

He said, “After elections comes the onerous business of governance and I am greatly encouraged by the enthusiasm and determination of senators and members-elect to rise above narrow politics.

“It gladdens the heart that members-elect are aware that once sworn in as senators and members of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic, we are bound by our oath of office.

“We will always act in the overall interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We are bound by these instruments to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
