Nigeria’s Audit System: Why Tinubu Must Urgently Assent to Federal Audit Service Bill - CSJ

Nigeria’s Audit System: Why Tinubu Must Urgently Assent to  Federal Audit Service Bill - CSJ By Emmanuel Iyoho Recently, civil society leaders, lawyers, and budget experts gathered in a packed Abuja conference room. On the table was an 83-page document that, to most Nigerians, sounds technical and boring. But to the people who manage public money, it is a blueprint for plugging one of the biggest leaks in the country’s finances. The document is the _Audit Opportunities Assessment Study_, produced by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), The Statecraft Report, and Princewill Eziukwu. Its message is blunt: Nigeria is losing billions yearly not because we lack an Auditor-General, but because the office is still bound by a 1956 colonial law with no real enforcement teeth. That, the group says, is why President Bola Tinubu must urgently assent to the _Federal Audit Service Bill, 2025_.

Edo Govt Deploys 1,000 Forest Guards, 5,400 Local Security Officers to Flush Criminals from Hideouts Habiba Sam  In a bold move to reclaim Edo’s forests and protect rural communities, the Edo State Government has deployed 500 newly recruited Forest Guards, joining the 500 personnel recently approved by the Federal Government. The combined force of 1,000 guards is now stationed across the state’s bushes, border areas, and “black spots” to dismantle criminal hideouts and secure farming communities. Disclosing this  during the weekly briefing by the Ministry of Information and Strategy in Benin City, the Commissioner for Public Security and Safety, Hon. Fesus Ebea, said the government designed the operation to place guard posts directly inside the forests. The strategy, he explained, is to deny kidnappers, armed gangs, and other criminal elements the safe havens they have exploited around boundaries with neighbouring states. “These Forest Guards will live and operate from forest ...

Dr. Cyril Adams Oshiomhole Lauds Governor Okpebholo for Ending 8-Year Promotion Stagnation in Edo Public Hospitals By Admin  For more than eight years, the conversation in Edo State’s public hospitals was heavy with one word: stagnation. Medical doctors who stood on the frontlines through night shifts, emergencies, outbreaks, and daily service watched their career progression stall. Promotion files gathered dust while dedication remained constant. The result was uncertainty, low morale, and a growing fear that service would go unrecognized. As Honourable Commissioner for Health, Edo State, I, Dr. Cyril Adams Oshiomhole, commend His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, Executive Governor of Edo State, for his decisive leadership and approval of the long-awaited promotions for medical doctors in the Edo State Public Service.
