00:02:13allegations of briberry and forgery, whispers of fake
00:02:17agency with an office talked inside the federal
00:02:20secretariat, even a suspicious budgetary allocation. The
00:02:24revelations ignited the storm, sparking fierce debate across the

00:03:46weaknesses were exploited by
00:03:50of id of with some level of negligence and
00:03:53of covivance. he
00:03:54of also outlines their recommendations should

00:04:03of imposed on public officers whose acts of
00:04:07omissions omition and negligence facilitated the
00:04:10illegal operation of
00:04:15of Pfipc/peec, of because our investigation found that some public
00:04:20of officers
00:04:20of they failed to do due diligence and they failed to
00:04:24adher with the standard procedure
00:04:26in of procedures that are supposed to be complied in the
00:04:30ministries and departments on the issue
00:04:33of the alleged bribe whether we have interacted
00:04:37of with yes we did is among the
00:04:41person that we
00:04:43of have interacted with we are taking statements and what you have
00:04:47told us we have noted it and we have
00:04:50drawn our own find this on that and also
00:04:54like
00:04:54of i say we are going on with the
00:04:57of investigation which is criminal investigation. which we are trying to uh
00:05:01of round up and see how we are going to uh file the charges
00:05:05and for the issue of uh the 400 million
00:05:09i don't want to go into that allegation. which
00:05:12is uh criminal, once we finish everything, we are going to
00:05:16court, people will see what uh uh really we we
00:05:20discovered in our own investigation on
00:05:23that. according to the chairman the ICPC,
00:05:27investigations will continue to the activities of Mr.
00:05:30Deni and his collaborators so that criminal
00:05:34charges can be filed before a court of competent
00:05:38jurisdiction from the presidential villa.
00:05:44channel's television news and still on the
00:05:48investigation into the alleged fake establishment the PF
00:05:51IPC, the House of Representatives on Thursday they
00:05:54met with the federal road safety court, that's the FRSC,
00:05:58the core marshall, Mr. She Mohammed explained how the council was
00:06:01issued license plates insisting that due diligence was
00:06:05carried out before the plates were issued, meanwhile the permanent
00:06:09secretary the state house has refuted claims that a book code was
00:06:13generated for the
00:06:14agency.
00:06:18Investigation into the establishment of a presidential foreign investment
00:06:22promotion council, PfiPC, now regarded as
00:06:26fake intensifies as the House at Hock Committee
00:06:29continues to receive concerned
00:06:31MDAs. The session begins with the
00:06:34representative the permanent secretary the state house responding to
00:06:38public concerns around generation of a budget code for the alleged.
00:06:42fake council PfiBC, I want to stay categorically
00:06:46clear that we did not send any
00:06:49correspondence, not any request to the
00:06:52office of respect
00:06:55these council, we don't even know
00:06:59anything about this council, we never heard about this council
00:07:03until we started seeing it uh in the
00:07:07media, on the news. Mr. Edris also reacts to
00:07:10claims that a correspondence was sent. to the accountant general from the state
00:07:14house signed by one Mr. Kombia Dewali who claims to
00:07:18be the director of admin and support services. In state
00:07:21house, there is no any department
00:07:25that is named directorate of administration and support
00:07:29services, we
00:07:30have never had that, it's only department of
00:07:32administration, and
00:07:34this has never
00:07:38ever been a director administration in state house.
00:07:42Mr. Idris admits a fairy on the part of government agencies as
00:07:46highlighted by member the
00:07:47committee.
00:07:57And they went ahead to give approval and give them accommodations and give them
00:08:01attentions. It's a question that there someone
00:08:05somewhere.
00:08:10They should have done due diligence.
00:08:15At least if they don't want to write and
00:08:18document it, they can make call, they can visit
00:08:22the state house, they can come to see the permanent secretary and say, can you please
00:08:26confirm for us if these letters are from
00:08:28here, that never happens, the committee
00:08:32then turns to the federal road safety core with the core marshall in
00:08:35attendance, his presence is to respond to allegations from
00:08:39businessman who appeared before the committee the previous day.
00:08:42stating that he was picked up from the airport with PFPC
00:08:46official vehicles with federal government number plates. the
00:08:50code visited the official website indicated in the
00:08:54correspondence. the website bore a federal
00:08:57government domain and content information
00:09:01consistent with that of legitimate federal
00:09:04government institution, including the names of prominent
00:09:08public office holders as members of it government.

00:09:16however, picks holes in the documents before him, mandate that
00:09:20have no security

00:09:55offices burthed the fake council. terre
00:09:59ikumi channels television news
00:10:01and moving away from that to another top story,
00:10:05attention played out on the streets of lagos on abuja on wednesday as
00:10:09members the take it back movement renewed the demands for change even as
00:10:13supporters the federal government stage a counter protest backing the
00:10:17current administration, although the police were deployed to both cities to
00:10:21keep the peace in lagos, the protesters were dispersed. with tear
00:10:25gas,
00:10:33lagos witnessed protests organized by the hashtag
00:10:37#take back movement earlier today, a large number of
00:10:41members the movement took to the streets of lagos
00:10:44mainland with blackards and banners, some of
00:10:48which read, quote, festival the oppressed

00:11:13As the protesters continued their march, the
00:11:17police arrived moments later and dispersed the
00:11:20crowd, according to them, to stop the demonstration from
00:11:24degenerate. into
00:11:25violence,
00:11:45you know, it is disating that Nigeria has degenerated
00:11:48to a state of lawlessness where you
00:11:52know the constitutionally empowered. uh
00:11:56institution that is the Nigerian police and
00:11:59you know the government expected
00:12:02to not just secure the lives of Nigerian
00:12:05citizen, but to also see to it that we have a continued
00:12:09existence. The government is constitutionally sanctioned with the
00:12:12duty, to secure the lives of Nigerians by virtue of
00:12:16section 14 the constitution, but they have incurably failed in this
00:12:19regard.
00:12:26In the FCC, the same group the hashtag take it back
00:12:30movement, guys are the begger area of central Abuja
00:12:34for similar
00:12:35purpose.
00:12:47We have number of demands that we must retarate here and they
00:12:51include that Nigerian workers must be paid 50000.
00:12:55dira per month as their minimum
00:12:58wage, we have also
00:13:00asked that they
00:13:03released from unjust and unlawful
00:13:06detention, that the discontinue all forms of trial,
00:13:10whether it's cyber crime, treeson trials against activists
00:13:14and nigerians who are raising up their voice against bad governance in this
00:13:18country, but a counter
00:13:22protest in lagos and abuja, a group of youths said
00:13:26to be members of civil society also staged their
00:13:29protest in support the ruling government. some
00:13:33plaquets read quote allow mr. president
00:13:37implement the minimum wage that he approved. fc
00:13:40youth support president tenable for second
00:13:43tener. tennible on your mandate we stand,
00:13:47end
00:13:47quote.
00:13:56It does appear that the hashtag #Taking back movement
00:14:00has chosen August 5th as a day of protest
00:14:04against what the group terms bad governance.
00:14:08Last year the same group held a rally in some locations
00:14:11across the country. For the group, their expectation is
00:14:15that authorities attend to the demands the leaders
00:14:19the hashtag #takingback
00:14:21movement.

00:16:34welcome back to the watching news round, well the aussion state. government accused the
00:16:38economic and financial crimes commission of freezing the state's
00:16:42statutary account. governor Demola Dilok made this disclosure on
00:16:45Wednesday while addressing journalists on the development the government house
00:16:49in Oshogo.
00:16:53This morning we receive letter
00:16:57from our banker forwarding letter from
00:17:00the EFCC instructing the bank to
00:17:04freeze orsu state government.
00:17:07account, this
00:17:10action was taken without any court
00:17:13order, we are supposed to be in
00:17:17democracy where the rule of law
00:17:21must always prevail, we will
00:17:24therefore not accept any situation
00:17:28where we
00:17:29have we have federal agencies trample on the
00:17:32constitutional right of subnational
00:17:35governments. this is a threat to
00:17:39democracy, if we all keep
00:17:42quiet and allow this
00:17:45illegality, very soon, whatever is
00:17:49left of our democracy will be fully
00:17:52eroded. all I
00:17:55ask is for the EFC chairman to
00:17:59explain to the good people of state and to the
00:18:03Nigerians in general, why he throws state
00:18:06government? account and show proof to support
00:18:10whatever reason it presents
00:18:13and the state
00:18:16commissioner for finance also made some revelations concerning the
00:18:20state the account belonging to the
00:18:22government. i want to put
00:18:26uh improper perspective that the reelection
00:18:30of Ash governor is not being
00:18:33funded from the mega allocation that we use to to
00:18:37maintain this class of people, but rather the good work of
00:18:41Mr. Governor is why the Ash state people
00:18:45are resolute to ensure that
00:18:49Mr. Governor comes back victorious
00:18:52by August
00:18:5415.
00:18:59I see in reaction to that, the president director the economic and financial crimes
00:19:03commission to immediately return to court invocates the order
00:19:06freezing. state government account on Thursday a
00:19:10statement President Bola Tinibu said he was not uh
00:19:13embarrassed by the EFCC's anti-corruption mandate or the
00:19:17court order itself, but by the timing the action coming
00:19:21just days before the oshu governorship
00:19:24election. And
00:19:28state governor Adimaladike on Thursday slamed the two billion
00:19:31narosuit on economic and financial crimes commission over the
00:19:35unlawful freezing the state's federal. st statutory
00:19:38location account and plint pose several legal questions for the
00:19:42court
00:19:43to determine, among which includes whether having regard to the
00:19:46express provisions of section 16, 36 and 44
00:19:50and 162 the constitution the federal republic of
00:19:53Nigeria, 1999 and section 34
00:19:57the EFCC establishment act 2004. the
00:20:01defendant possess the lawful authority to freeze, post note

00:20:08statutary account maintained with first bank without regard to
00:20:12due process of

00:21:25The military says a massive joint operation comprising
00:21:29the armed forces, the DSS, the NIA and
00:21:33the police secured their freedom. Again, I want to use
00:21:37this opportunity to thank and to say thank you to the other security
00:21:41agencies who have been very
00:21:44helpful in all the efforts we making, this today

00:24:28the 3.3 billion dollar project a Gazel pre-export finance
00:24:32facility through new $4.5 billion dollar facility
00:24:35named project gazel 2. this was the outcome the
00:24:39159th meeting the council which held virtually chaired by vice
00:24:42president Kashim
00:24:43shitima.
00:24:49Mr. history of um, as
00:24:53many Nigerians would know already, the
00:24:56NNPC Limited entered into
00:25:00arrangement under project gazel for a
00:25:043.3 billion US dollar uh
00:25:07facility uh, for which
00:25:109000 barrels of cruder per day was
00:25:13committed, now what has happened is
00:25:16a way to find uh of
00:25:20reducing the cost uh of those
00:25:23facilities, project gazel 2
00:25:26facility uh is now presented was presented to
00:25:29council for approval which would enable
00:25:32NNPCL to be able to emback a
00:25:364.5 billion dollars project gazel to
00:25:39facility uh now about 1.5
00:25:42billion the original 3.3 remains
00:25:46outstanding so the 4.5 billion would
00:25:50settle the 1.5 and that provides additional
00:25:53facility of $3 billion dollars for the
00:25:57federation. uh, not only that,
00:26:01the number of committed crude. will reduce from 9000 barrels
00:26:05a day to 78,750, that's
00:26:08reduction of 12.5%. again, that also
00:26:12provide more fiscal space for monthly
