Dauda Lawal Ligns 2024 Budget Of N426.5bn Into Law—Gov. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has signed the state’s 2024 Appropriation Bill of N426.5 billion into law.

His media aide, Mr Sulaiman Idris stated on Sunday in Gusau that the governor signed the Appropriation Bill into law on Saturday.

The state’s House of Assembly approved the bill on Friday, he stated.

The state’s 2024 budget prioritised critical sectors of security, education, agriculture, health and infrastructure, among others.

Idris quoted Lawal as saying “the 2024 estimate has N118.3 billion or 27 per cent allocated to recurrent expenditure and N308.2 billion, representing 73 per cent allocated to capital expenditure.

“The budget titled: “Budget of Rescue’’ will enhance domestic and foreign investments, productivity and ease of doing business in the state.

“We budgetted sufficient funds for social intervention programmes to mitigate the impact of current economic difficulties and insecurity.’’

The budget listed micro-credit disbursement to small and medium enterprises, the FADAMA programme for food security, and other initiatives to reduce poverty as its focal points.

“We earmarked resources for skills acquisition programmes to provide job opportunities for teeming youths in the state.

“The proposed budget is balanced as the projected revenue equals the estimated expenditure,’’ Idris also quoted Lawal as saying as he signed the budget into law.

•Minister Of Power, Adebayo Adelabu WhatsApp Number has been Hacked.

THECLOUDNGR The WhatsApp number of Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has reportedly been hacked, prompting a warning from his spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji.

The announcement was made in a brief notice sent to the Daily Post by Tunji on Thursday night.

Tunji urged Nigerians to ignore any requests for money or financial assistance originating from the compromised phone number, stating, “HM of power number has been hacked on WhatsApp. Kindly disregard any appeal for money or any assistance for financial support through the number 08022901928.”

This incident follows closely on the heels of similar security breaches involving other government officials.

Just six days prior, the WhatsApp number of the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, was hacked, and earlier, the same fate befell the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh.

TCN recalls that the WhatsApp number of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, in August was also hacked by fraudsters, leading to an attempt to defraud several of his contacts.

The incident came to light when some individuals on the governor’s contact list received messages from his WhatsApp number, requesting that money be sent to a specified account with a promise of a refund later.

In a related incident, Osun State Government, in July issued a public alert on the security breach of Governor Ademola Adeleke‘s official telephone number.

Gov Sim Fubara Calls Out IG Of Police, Insist LG Election Must Hold (VIDEO)—-TCN reports that Simanalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State has told the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun that he would have to shoot him if he tries to stop the local government election coming up in the state on Saturday.

Fubara who spoke angrily in the early hours of today noted that the IGP has been acting unprofessional because of his relationship with ‘One man’ who claims to be in control of Rivers state.

The governor blasted the IGP for attempting to stop election from holding in the state despite the supreme court ruling that said local government chairmen must be elected across every state in Nigeria.

Although there was a court order stopping that stopped INEC from releasing voters register to Rivers state electoral commission, Fubara affirmed that they don’t need voters register and security from the police to conduct the local government election.

He however insisted that the local government election must hold.
