Good morning sir, General Williams.Stop believing everything you read from Motive-Joe Attueyi.It is one thing to not want Buhari as president, which is mine or Joe's prerogative, however it is quiet vicious and unprogressive to try to destroy the President for your own pecuniary gains.How much is N100m in good currency?Motive-Joe runs errands with self-serving, ulterior motives!Shikena

N94m bullet-proof tyres for Buhari, others
The Federal Government plans to spend N94.5 million on bullet-proof tyres for President Muhammadu Buhari and others this year, State House Permanent Secretary Jalal A. Arabi has said.
Canteen and kitchen equipment will cost N100.8 million.
These are part of the breakdown of the State House budget presented by Arabi to the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs.
The number of treated (bulletproof) tyres that will be bought with N94.5 million was, however, not specified.
On why the tyres should be bought at “exorbitant price”, Arabi explained that “some of the tyres being purchased are actually treated (bulletproof)” and hence constituted the bulk of the purchase cost.
For canteen and kitchen equipment, Arabi said N100.8 million was provided in the 2017 budget.
He added: “This amount is principally the unreleased appropriation for 2016, which was the unpaid balance in 2015 for contracts awarded and executed. The sum of N80.2million appropriated in 2016 has up to this moment not been released hence its rollover and inclusion in 2017.”
Arabi noted that it was important to mention that the proposal covered kitchen equipment in the main residence, VP’s residence, banquet hall, State House medical centre, State House auditorium and 22 guest houses.
On electricity charges, he said N45.3 million was approved in the last year’s budget.
The State House’s electricity bill for 2016, according to Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), was N252 million. Another outstanding liability of over N300 million for State House, Lagos facilities.
Arabi noted that the provision in the 2016 budget could not accommodate the outstanding liability.
He said the management of the State House was forced to install meters in 2016 to ensure proper billing “and that was what reduced the bill to a reasonable figure”.
Arabi said that since the bills were subject of reconciliation “we have made a modest provision of the sum of N319.6 million for 2017 to settle current and part of outstanding bills as noted above”.
The committee chairman, Senator Tijjani Kaura said the State House Medical Centre should be properly funded as it does not serve the Presidential Villa alone, but provides services for outsiders.

The last time I commented, you stated that I did not give solutions to my critique. I re-stated them - or clarified - but typical of your ilk, you clammed up - but thankfully others read them.

When is Prof Aluko going to visit the neighborhood in retaliation for your visit to Otueke? I can imagine Prof Aluko on Orie Utuh Akwuata Court Road, all smiles, and wanting to stay indefinitely as Buhari is doing in London.Yea. I forgot he is from Ekiti. My adopted state when I am away from Anambra. Would you believe there is someone on these forums from Igogo? And he is here in Chicago. He cautioned me never to say "Igogo Ekiti". Why? That is redundant. So from now on, I will just say Igogo. I wonder where Bolaji is from? Don't tell me Igogo or Enyin or Enyio.

The reason I asked for your suggested solutions is because I find that you put a lot of brain power into these things when you are so minded. Even where I disagree, I still enjoy reading them and the thinking behind them. Where I disagree strongly I so state as you can bear witnessI read and appreciated your suggested solutions. There was nothing in it that required a response or clarification so I am not sure what I was supposed to do other than 'clam up'!There are too many emails on irrelevancies clogging up our inboxes. I think many folks should learn to 'clam up' like me when they have nothing to add to an idea. No?Joe

Joe Attueyi:I am a chailer - a critical hailer - not a wailer like yourself and a few others, for who the sky is always falling, and are constantly looking for a scorpion under every rock.The last time I commented, you stated that I did not give solutions to my critique. I re-stated them - or clarified - but typical of your ilk, you clammed up - but thankfully others read them.Is the country where it should be after two years? Absolutely not, but that is a result of legacy problems, international pressures, delayed/indecisive policies of the government as well as ACTIVE sabotage (or un-enlightened self-interest) by those who have both stocks of Naira and Dollars hidden in various places around the country - including in shanties in Kaduna and elsewhere. It is the inability of the government to HOLISTICALLY shut down these kinds of torrid discoveries of corruption - some of which MUST still be continuing as we speak, but maybe in lesser amounts - that is galling.As I wrote in my last piece, corruption may still win this battle, the way the Government is waging it...but we shall see.That is chailing, not wailing.And there you have it.Bolaji Aluko

Gracious dealing demands that if in an interlocution you disagree, and you point it out, then during that same stream, where you agree, you should point it out too, lest it looks as if we are always in disagreement.
