It only becomes meaningful when it improves the lives of citizens,” he stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The don recalled a nationwide survey conducted ahead of the 2015 general election, saying that he was part of a research team commissioned by then vice-president-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to identify Nigerians’ expectations of the incoming administration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said the survey identified security as the country’s foremost concern, followed by the economy, corruption, infrastructure and education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pate who is also a Professor of Communication at Bayero University, Kano, noted that while successive administrations have made efforts in these areas, Nigerians continue to assess democracy largely by improvements in their daily lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He cited findings from the Afrobarometer survey across 39 African countries, which showed that while about two-thirds of Africans prefer democracy to other forms of government, only about 37 per cent were satisfied with how democracy worked in their respective countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, “This reflects a gap between citizens’ commitment to democratic ideals and the actual outcomes of democratic governance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The communication scholar also referenced findings from the 2024 African Young People Survey, which revealed that many young Africans are considering emigrating due to corruption and limited opportunities, warning that such sentiments pose serious questions about the future of democracy on the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pate identified historical grievances, identity politics, social and economic exclusion, youth unemployment, weak institutions and governance deficits as major factors undermining democratic consolidation in Nigeria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He argued that: “Identity politics has continued to shape political participation, often placing greater emphasis on ethnicity, religion and place of origin than on competence and shared national values.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He also expressed concern over the collapse of local government institutions in many parts of the country, saying that grassroots governance had previously played a significant role in resolving community disputes, providing basic services and creating economic opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The professor warned that: “Misinformation, hate speech and divisive narratives amplified through digital platforms are worsening existing social tensions. Nigeria’s challenge is no longer the absence of information but the abundance of false information and the scarcity of public attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He further linked insecurity to rising poverty, hunger, unemployment, environmental challenges and weak governance, arguing that conflicts discourage investment, reduce agricultural productivity and deepen economic hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Maintaining that security remains Nigerians’ greatest expectation of government, Pate noted that the country continues to grapple with insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal conflicts, separatist agitations and urban crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He called for stronger institutions, inclusive governance and policies that address the root causes of insecurity and inequality, insisting that democracy would only endure if it delivers peace, opportunity and improved living conditions for all Nigerians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In his remarks, the Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lagos, Michael Deleen, expressed concern over the rising level of poverty in Nigeria, attributing it largely to challenges in the country’s education system and democratic governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said education remains critical to empowering citizens, adding that informed and educated people are better equipped to make decisions based on knowledge rather than circumstance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He therefore urged the government to prioritise addressing the nation’s education and governance challenges, noting that doing so would help reduce poverty and promote sustainable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The event featured a review and unveiling of the 2025 civic space status report and panel discussions examining how sophisticated surveillance technologies, institutionalised harassment and shrinking press freedoms are threatening journalists’ safety and the public’s right to information. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The sessions also explored democracy beyond periodic elections, emphasising the need to assess it through good governance, accountability, responsiveness and public trust in institutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","wole-soyinka-92-varsity-don-calls-for-democracy-that-delivers-security-economic-prosperity",{"id":1284,"createdAt":1285,"updatedAt":1285,"name":1286,"slug":1287},[1731,1732,1733,1734,1735,1287,1736,1737,1738,1739],"wole","soyinka","varsity","don","calls","delivers","security","economic","prosperity","https:\u002F\u002Fglobal.ariseplay.com\u002Famg\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002Fuploads\u002F1000993148.jpg",{"id":1742,"createdAt":1743,"updatedAt":1744,"name":1745,"image":1746,"slug":1747},"676b27a5-8a43-458d-91ba-45c07367106b","2026-03-26T09:35:16.600Z","2026-04-20T09:31:29.000Z","This

Consequently, the Ministry has continued to reposition labour administration as a strategic instrument for economic development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Over the past three years, the Ministry has strengthened the machinery for the prevention and settlement of trade disputes through enhanced conciliation, mediation and social dialogue. Our emphasis has remained on preventing disputes before they escalate into industrial actions capable of disrupting productivity and economic activities. This approach has contributed to improved industrial relations across several sectors of the economy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The Ministry has also intensified labour inspection activities to promote compliance with labour laws, improve occupational safety and health standards and ensure decent working conditions. We recognise that safe and healthy workplaces are not merely legal requirements; they are fundamental drivers of productivity, innovation and business sustainability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“In furtherance of the Federal Government’s employment agenda, the Ministry has continued to strengthen public employment services, labour market information systems, career guidance and employment facilitation programmes to improve labour market efficiency and connect job seekers with employment opportunities. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We are equally working with employers, development partners and other stakeholders to bridge skills gaps and promote employability, particularly among young Nigerians”, Dr Dingyadi stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Minister also announced ongoing labour law reforms to reflect changes in the global workplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said: “As part of our commitment to modernising labour administration, the Ministry is advancing labour law reforms to ensure that Nigeria’s legal framework responds effectively to the realities of a changing world of work characterised by digital transformation, platform employment, new forms of work organisation and emerging occupational safety challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I therefore encourage employers to continue promoting constructive social dialogue, strengthening collective bargaining, investing in workforce development, embracing workplace diversity and inclusion, ensuring equal opportunities, eliminating discrimination, preventing child labour and forced labour within supply chains, and maintaining the highest standards of occupational safety and health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

protocols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>INEC’s Chairman, Joash Amupitan (SAN), made this known on Thursday in Abuja when he played host to the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Richard

Yes, the public trust is very low. But at the same time, we believe with the outcome of our elections, we will be able to build the confidence. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“As it is, like I shared with you in my office, one of the challenges we have is that of misinformation. And the increase in use of AI to promote disinformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Amupitan noted that in terms of logistics and personnel, the commission has commenced early procurement and logistics planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said: “There are some, you know, several issues on the cards. But we have, on our own, tried to navigate most of those issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Montgomery, said the UK is actively engaged in a security and defence partnership with Nigeria, particularly focusing on the 2027 elections. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He highlighted the strong ties between the two countries, emphasising the strategic partnership signed in 2024 and the state visit by President Bola Tinubu in March. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Montgomery noted that the UK was committed to supporting Nigeria’s democratic process, offering both moral and practical assistance. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>His words: “So we have a very strong interest and investment in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

over disinformation, criminal use of AI, vows foolproof security\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>By Omeiza Ajayi\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>ABUJA – The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on Thursday said it is set to conduct a comprehensive audit of its systems ahead of the 2027 general election in order to forestall a repeat of the technical glitches that trailed the 2023 presidential election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This was as it raised concerns over disinformation and the criminal deployment of Artificial Intelligence AI in the electoral process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Commission gave the assurance when its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan SAN, received the United Kingdom High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Richard Montgomery and his team at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Amupitan described the visit as part of ongoing collaboration between both countries on election and cyber security ahead of 2027.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The INEC Chairman told the visiting delegation that the Commission’s preparations had been shaped by extensive post-election reviews involving political parties, civil society organisations, the media, security agencies, development partners, election observers and its own officials, noting that “those reviews have informed virtually every aspect of our current preparations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the technology front, the Chairman disclosed that rather than overhaul its existing platforms outright, the Commission had opted to improve on them, including the rollout of self-service, online voter registration that eliminates the need for prospective voters to visit registration offices physically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We started this a week ago, and we have gotten some very good, positive comments,” he said, adding that the goal was to ensure nobody is left behind in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Commission also confirmed it had completed the first and second phases of the Continuous Voter Registration CVR exercise, with the third and final phase — originally scheduled to end in August — extended by two weeks to give more Nigerians the opportunity to register, in line with statutory timelines guiding publication of the voters’ register before elections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On security of its infrastructure and personnel, the Chairman said INEC had undertaken a comprehensive review of its cybersecurity architecture, data systems, and penetration testing protocols, alongside disaster recovery mechanisms and communication systems, stressing that the Commission works closely with security agencies at national, state and local government levels through regular meetings to safeguard officials, infrastructure and voters alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He acknowledged that public trust remained low but expressed confidence that the credibility of the elections would help rebuild confidence in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the specific concerns around disinformation, he said the increasing use of AI to spread false information was one of the Commission’s major challenges, noting that INEC was looking to its partners, including the United Kingdom, for support in tackling the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Chairman also disclosed that the Commission was considering budgeting for a full audit of its systems and the conduct of a mock presidential election ahead of 2027, though the plan was not originally part of its budget. “It was not originally in our budget, but if we need to get assistance in that direction, that can help us ahead of the election,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the legal front, the Chairman noted that the Court of Appeal had restored the electoral timetable, disclosing that the Commission had been working to navigate the process even before the restoration, and assuring that despite a compressed financial timeline, INEC would deliver a free, fair, inclusive and credible election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Chairman, who noted he had been in office for about eight months during which he had superintended multiple elections while preparing for both the Osun State election and the 2027 general election, thanked the UK envoy for his consistent engagement with the Commission and reaffirmed INEC’s commitment to inclusivity, citing continued attention to women, youth and persons with disabilities in its electoral processes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Our objective remains to deliver elections that are credible, transparent, inclusive and reflective of the sovereign will of Nigeria,” the Chairman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr Montgomery, for his part, described the UK as a partner in Nigeria’s democratic journey, noting that both countries had deepened cooperation on security and defence, immigration, and justice, in addition to electoral matters, and commended the Commission’s preparations ahead of 2027.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He disclosed that he would be leaving his post as High Commissioner in about six weeks, with a successor to continue the relationship with the Commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

warned that the nation was under political siege by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with a calculated attempt to undermine democracy through the misuse of state institutions and judicial processes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The elder statesman had reacted to the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which upheld the order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising the state congresses conducted by committees constituted by the David Mark-led caretaker leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, the recent developments pointed to a dangerous pattern of political interference designed to weaken opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“What is unfolding before our eyes is nothing short of an assault on constitutional democracy. There appears to be a deliberate attempt to weaponise institutions of state against opposition political parties because some people are afraid of allowing Nigerians to freely choose their leaders. That is not democracy. That is political intimidation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>George described Abdulrahman Mohammed, the chairman of the Nyesom Wike-backed faction of the PDP, as someone who lacked the democratic pedigree and political experience required to lead a party of the PDP stature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Let me be absolutely clear. There is nothing dishonourable about being a driver. Honest labour deserves dignity and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“However, nobody becomes the National Chairman of one of Africa’s largest political parties by executive fiat or political manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Leadership is earned through years of sacrifice, service, loyalty, commitment and democratic legitimacy. The issue is not that this man was once a driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The issue is that someone with no known democratic pedigree, no recognised history of building the PDP, no record of leadership within its structures and no visible contribution to the party’s growth is suddenly being projected as National Chairman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Who knows him in our democratic struggle? Where was he when this party was founded in 1998? What sacrifice has he made for the PDP? Leadership cannot be manufactured overnight simply because powerful interests have decided to impose someone on a political party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Every discerning Nigerian can see what is happening. This is not about promoting one individual. This is about infiltrating, destabilising and ultimately destroying the PDP from within.

If this Senate clears him without further scrutiny, many people in Ekiti who are aware of the matter will not be pleased,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He proposed that the Senate mandate the appropriate committee to conduct further investigation before confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In his remarks, Akpabio, who thanked the committee for the work, said that the committee had reports from the police, the Department of State Services, and the university council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio said, “Let me read a relevant portion of the council’s findings:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“There were no cases of sexual harassment, thus confirming the earlier investigation by the Nigeria Police Force, which had investigated the matter and found the allegation to be false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“During the investigation, the complainant stated that she was not sexually harassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“All documents relied upon by the committee, including the police report, audio recordings, transcripts, correspondence involving the Vice-Chancellor and the complainant, and minutes of management meetings, were attached to the report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio further said, “I work strictly with the documents placed before me. I cannot rely on hearsay or telephone conversations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The committee itself signed the report clearing the nominee and affirmed his competence, integrity and suitability for the ambassadorial position for which the president nominated him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He urged the senators to remember that they were members of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the upper chamber of the National Assembly of a nation of nearly 250 million people, just as he warned senators to take their assignments with respect, and they must not rely on hearsay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We must be careful not to import into our deliberations matters that are not supported by evidence before us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Recall that on July 7 this year, the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations stormed the National Assembly, protesting against the nomination of Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina as a non-career ambassadorial nominee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The protesters who were at the National Assembly had called on the Senate not to carry out the screening and subsequent confirmation by the Senate over allegations of sexual harassment, human rights violations and victimisation currently before the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The coalition insisted that its campaign was aimed at promoting accountability, protecting victims of workplace sexual harassment, and preserving Nigeria’s credibility in the international community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to them, Professor Fasina had pending cases before the National Industrial Court in Lagos and Abuja and argued that the Senate should allow the judicial process to run its course before considering his confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Speaking on behalf of the coalition, lawyer Adeyemo Amira, who noted that the protest was not driven by personal animosity but by a desire to protect Nigeria’s integrity and uphold justice, said, “My name is Adeyemo Amira, and I am here as a concerned Nigerian and a member of civil society, not because I have any personal vendetta against Professor Abayomi Sunday Fasina.” This issue is bigger than one individual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

that he has never seen the budget of the National Assembly, just as he called for transparency in the area of budget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio disclosed this during the presentation of a motion that sought to establish an Internal Tender Board for the National Assembly, sponsored by Senator Sunday Karimi, APC, Kogi West. It was titled, “Review of the Internal Procurement Process of the National Assembly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The President of the Senate insisted that greater transparency in the legislature’s budgeting and financial management must come before any procurement reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio said, “Personally, I have not seen the budget of the National Assembly. Senator Tambuwal, you were a Speaker, I don’t know, maybe in the House of Representatives, they showed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Also speaking on the National Assembly’s budget, Senator Adamu Aliero, APC, Kebbi Central, lamented that lawmakers themselves were often unaware of the details of the National Assembly’s budget, saying that the Senate was “putting the cart before the horse,” stressing that the absence of a functional Budget and Research Office remained a more pressing issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Aliero said, “Two of the problems that we have in the National Assembly regarding the management of finances and the budget do not solely lie in the process of procurement. The problem has been that the National Assembly has not set up a Budget and Research Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“What is happening today is that we don’t even know and we don’t even see the budget of the National Assembly being presented here so that we can interrogate and understand the lines of expenditure,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“My opinion is that the Senator should step down this motion. Let us get the house right first before we talk about the issues that the Distinguished Senator Karimi is raising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the Senate stepped down the motion by Senator Karimi to establish an Internal Tender Board for the National Assembly, as lawmakers stressed that greater transparency in the legislature’s budgeting and financial management must come before any procurement reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The motion was eventually withdrawn after it drew criticism from lawmakers who described it as premature and lacking adequate internal consultation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Moving the motion, Karimi argued that the proposal was aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Assembly and safeguarding its financial independence as guaranteed by the Constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He cited Section 81(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which provides for the funding of the National Assembly through a first-line charge on the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The Senate notes that Section 81(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended guarantees the independence of the National Assembly and provides for the funding of the National Assembly through the first-line charge on the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation,” Karimi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He also relied on Section 51 of the Constitution, which empowers each chamber of the National Assembly to regulate its own procedure and internal administration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“In furtherance of the constitutional principle of separation of powers and parliamentary autonomy, the Senate resolves that it is necessary to strengthen the institutional capacity of the National Assembly to manage its financial and procurement processes efficiently, transparently and in a manner consistent with its status as an independent arm of government,” he stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Karimi urged the Senate to affirm parliamentary autonomy, establish an Internal Tender Board to evaluate and approve procurement matters within approved budgetary provisions, and mandate the Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA) to constitute the board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, the proposal immediately met resistance from fellow senators, who argued that the legislature should first address longstanding concerns about budget transparency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio also criticised both the timing and procedure adopted by the sponsor, saying such a proposal should have been discussed with the Senate leadership and the Clerk to the National Assembly before reaching the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said, “Senator Karimi, you should have discussed this even with me in the presence of the Clerk to the National Assembly and the principal officers of management so that I get clearance on what you are coming up with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The President of the Senate, who questioned the wisdom of publicly debating the establishment of an Internal Tender Board before resolving internal concerns about the management of the legislature’s finances, said, “We should start with ourselves. We should get the two chambers to know exactly what is going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We should also debate and understand the budget. We should know how much is coming, what is going to where. This motion is premature,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio subsequently advised Karimi to withdraw the motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Before doing so, Karimi, who sought clarification on whether the Clerk to the National Assembly had discussed the proposal with the Senate President, said, “Mister President, while I am withdrawing the motion, did the CNA discuss this motion with you?” Karimi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Akpabio replied: “No, no. This is not correct. If it was discussed with me, I would not be opposed. I am not opposed to the motion, but I am opposed to the content of the prayers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Karimi thereafter withdrew the motion, saying, “Okay, I am withdrawing the motion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Senate President then ruled: “Motion withdrawn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The development means the proposed Internal Tender Board will not be established for now, as the Senate leadership indicated that lawmakers would first be briefed on the National Assembly’s budget and financial management before any fresh proposal on procurement reforms is considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Five-never-seen-national-assembly-budget-akpabio\u002F\">I’ve never seen National Assembly budget – Akpabio\u003C\u002Fa> appeared first on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\">Vanguard News\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","ive-never-seen-national-assembly-budget-akpabio",{"id":1229,"createdAt":1230,"updatedAt":1231,"name":1232,"slug":1233},[2148,2149,2150,2151,2152,1793,1879],"ive","never","seen","national","assembly","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.vanguardngr.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002FGODSWILL-AKPABIO.jpg",{"id":1839,"createdAt":1840,"updatedAt":1841,"name":1842,"image":1843,"slug":1844},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Five-never-seen-national-assembly-budget-akpabio\u002F",{"id":2157,"createdAt":2158,"updatedAt":2159,"title":2160,"excerpt":2161,"content":2161,"slug":2162,"topic":2163,"tags":2164,"image":2170,"author":73,"feed":2171,"views":1650,"type":82,"readTime":1650,"externalSourceUrl":2172},"38832ddc-bb81-4bb1-872b-dc5cab0bc79e","2026-07-16T18:37:00.708Z","2026-07-16T18:58:28.000Z","National House of Chiefs mourns demise of Ya-Naa Abukari II","The National House of Chiefs has extended its deepest condolences to the Dagbon Traditional Council following the death of His Royal Majesty Ya-Naa Mahama Abukari II, King and Overlord of the Dagbon Kingdom.","national-house-of-chiefs-mourns-demise-of-ya-naa-abukari-ii",{"id":1223,"createdAt":1224,"updatedAt":1224,"name":1225,"slug":1226},[2151,1928,2165,2166,2167,2168,2169],"chiefs","mourns","demise","yanaa","abukari","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.modernghana.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcontent\u002F716202664147-osjum8x432-ya-na-abukari-mahama-ii.jpg",{"id":1643,"createdAt":1644,"updatedAt":1645,"name":1646,"image":1647,"slug":1648},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.modernghana.com\u002Fnews\u002F1511305\u002Fnational-house-of-chiefs-mourns-demise-of-ya-naaa.html",{"id":2174,"createdAt":2175,"updatedAt":2176,"title":2177,"excerpt":2178,"content":2179,"slug":2180,"topic":2181,"tags":2182,"image":1795,"author":73,"feed":2190,"views":83,"type":82,"readTime":1650,"externalSourceUrl":2191},"120cb535-bfd2-408e-8975-c36b8cdaed85","2026-07-16T17:46:00.481Z","2026-07-16T18:59:32.000Z","Your voices formed part of constitutional changes, Reps tell Youths","The House of Representatives acknowledges that youths’ voices have influenced constitutional changes and urges active participation in the 2027 elections.\n\nRead More: https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fyour-voices-formed-part-of-constitutional-changes-reps-tell-youths\u002F","\n\nThe House of Representatives acknowledges that youths’ voices have influenced constitutional changes and urges active participation in the 2027 elections.\n\nRead More: https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fyour-voices-formed-part-of-constitutional-changes-reps-tell-youths\u002F","your-voices-formed-part-of-constitutional-changes-reps-tell-youths",{"id":1223,"createdAt":1224,"updatedAt":1224,"name":1225,"slug":1226},[2183,2184,2185,2186,2187,1788,2188,2189],"voices","formed","part","constitutional","changes","tell","youths",{"id":1672,"createdAt":1673,"updatedAt":1674,"name":1675,"image":1676,"slug":1677},"https:\u002F\u002Fpunchng.com\u002Fyour-voices-formed-part-of-constitutional-changes-reps-tell-youths\u002F?utm_source=rss.punchng.com&utm_medium=web",{"id":2193,"createdAt":2194,"updatedAt":2195,"title":2196,"excerpt":2197,"content":2198,"slug":2199,"topic":2200,"tags":2201,"image":2208,"author":73,"feed":2209,"views":81,"type":82,"readTime":1650,"externalSourceUrl":2210},"07c25d6a-b319-4188-86ba-c25e64877ea1","2026-07-16T17:26:00.414Z","2026-07-16T18:54:15.000Z","Sons of God and children of Satan, By Chinedu Moghalu","The familiar claim that we are all God’s children therefore needs to be stated with greater care.
