NEWSMillions of Nigerians living in extreme poverty – Osinbajo cries out

 

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday, admitted that millions of Nigerians are living below the poverty line.


Osinbajo lamented that the COVID-19 pandemic had further worsened the unemployment and poverty rate in the country.


The Vice President disclosed this after several sessions at the two-day retreat, which reviewed the challenges of the relationship and interdependence between the executive and legislative arms of government.


He, however, urged the executive and legislatures to work together in addressing the challenges confronting Nigerians.

A statement forwarded to DAILY POST by his spokesman, Laolu Akande quoted Osinbajo as saying: “Every generation of leadership must understand context. Law itself must be interpreted and implemented in context. What is the reality of the context that we operate in today?


“We all know, our nation has millions of extremely poor people, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened unemployment and poverty.


KING ASA.

  Mike Okiro, a onetime Inspector-General of Police, IGP, has cautioned against the ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Okiro said the squad should be rebranded and refocused for effective service delivery rather than being banned. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday, the former IGP said the ban of SARS would lead to more robbery activities. According to Okiro, robbers would be happy at the ban of SARS. “The police management should go to the drawing board and retrain personnel of the SARS as it will be counter-productive to disband them. “You cannot throw away the baby with the bath water, if they have deviated from what they were established for they should be retrained and refocused,“he said. “Armed robbers will be happy that there is no more SARS in the country but are Nigerians ready for that, “he said.
