The Kebbi Forum of Special Advisers to Gov. Nasir Idris says it will donate N20 million to assist youths and women in line with the empowerment programme of the governor.

The Chairman of the forum, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant made this known at a meeting organised by the advisers in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.

He said the gesture was with a view to making people self-reliant in the state.

Sani-Giant said: “This gesture is in consonance with the policy thrust of His Excellency, Gov. Nasir Idris directed towards collective leadership to mitigate the effects of present economic hardship faced by the people.

“It is also aimed at bringing succour to the people, reduce poverty, support many families as well as empower men and women to engage in commercial activities, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan.”

Sani-Giant expressed delight over the decision and unity of purpose of the members in their support and loyalty to the Idris-led administration.

He assured the readiness of the advisers to extend unflinching support to Gov. Idris to enable him achieve good governance and uplift the general well-being of the people.

“I want to tell you with full confidence that the governor is proud of us, and he is watching with keen interest of what we are doing to support his developmental strides in the state.

“What we have set out to do is in line with his empowerment agenda, to reduce poverty and assist people, particularly the masses in the society,” he noted.

The chairman thanked the governor for affording the special advisers the opportunity to serve the people under his leadership.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the special advisers had constituted an 11 man member committee to determine the number, category of beneficiaries as well as amount to be disbursed to each person.

•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.
