AMAECHI'S FULL ADDRESS TO THE SENATE

AMAECHI'S FULL ADDRESS TO THE SENATE
Your Excellency, the President of Senate,
Your Excellency, the Deputy President of Senate
Your Excellency, the leader of Senate,
Your Excellency the minority leader of Senate and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State,
Distinguished leaders of the Senate
Very distinguished Senators,
Good morning. It is a rare pleasure to stand before you distinguished Senators in this hallowed chambers.
I am deeply humbled and honoured to have been nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari to serve in the office of a Minister in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
My name is Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and I am the immediate past governor of Rivers State.
Before then, I had served as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly for two terms of eight years and as Chairman, Conference of Speakers, for two tenures.
I am perhaps the first Nigerian to have served as Speaker of a State House of Assembly, for eight years.
I served as Governor of Rivers State for two terms during which period, I had the honour and privilege to serve my colleagues as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, for two terms.
Taken together, whether as Governor or as Speaker, these two career paths tell a story of public service.
During my tenure as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, we achieved a lot.
Some key bills were passed like the Anti Kidnapping Law and the Rivers States Schools Rights (Parent, Children and Teachers) Law. However, my most fulfilling moment as Speaker was the passage of the Rivers State Schools Rights (Parent, Children and Teachers) law, No. 2 of 2005.
This bill clearly enunciated and defined the
responsibilities of parents, teachers and children to guarantee our children access to qualitative education.
As Governor, we inherited a state that was comatose and in the throes of insecurity. Rivers State bore the fault lines of the Niger Delta militancy.
Our immediate task was therefore to restore security and improve the social and economic well being of our people.
Ours was a two-pronged approach of fiscal and physical security.
Whilst we confronted criminality with aggressive law enforcement measures, we embarked on massive social and infrastructural development.
We declared an emergency in the education sector that guaranteed free and compulsory education up to secondary school level. During my tenure as Governor, we awarded the construction of some 500 primary
schools. 314 of these were 100 percent completed while others were virtually completed by the time we left office in May 2015.
We undertook the training and recertification of teachers already in the service of the state and employed over 13,000 new teachers.
Our efforts and investments in the education sector did not go unnoticed as Port Harcourt won the UNESCO World
Book Capital city for 2014, beating cities like Moscow and Oxford.
In the area of healthcare delivery, we built over 140 primary healthcare centres, three secondary healthcare facilities, employed 400 doctors and 200 nurses to improve the manpower in the healthcare sector.
Anyone who visited Port Harcourt while we served, will testify to the fact that we worked to bring back the old glory of Port Harcourt as the garden and city as the third leg in the economic tripod of Nigeria.
We built a dualised network of 1500 Kilometres of roads, 23 bridges, 2 major fly-overs and 2 interchanges.
In the area of power, of the 350 Megawatts (MW) total capacity generation assets invested by the government before ours, only 70MW (equivalent to about 20 per
cent) was available.
With enthusiasm, we ramped up the efficiency to 77 per cent availability including injecting another 360MW Green Field Generation Project at Afam. That massive investment is partly the reason why today, residents in Port Harcourt enjoy almost 24 hours of electricity supply.
On the whole, Mr. President of Senate, I say with pride that during our stewardship of eight years we consistently maintained our pledge to our people to render “transparent and accountable stewardship.”
To guarantee that we did not deviate from that pledge, we were the first state to pass a Fiscal Responsibility law and the Rivers State Bureau of Public Procurement law. Both laws stemmed from executive bills, and we are pleased that we maintained our stance of surrendering the power of the governor to award contracts until the end of our tenure.
Mr. President of Senate, Distinguished Senators, it is therefore fair to say that under my leadership as governor of Rivers State we redefined governance and
repositioned Rivers State as a destination choice to live, work and do business.
Accordingly Mr. President of Senate, Distinguished Senators, I give you my word that if I am confirmed as minister by this distinguished Senate, I will bring to bear my vast experience as a Legislator, Speaker and Governor in the execution of my duties

7 Things To Do If She’s Sleeping Over for the First Time

Whether you planned it or it came as a surprise, having a girl over can make any man anxious. Find out what you need to do to get her comfy.
So you’re finally letting her into your home. Depending on the state of your humble abode, she’s either the luckiest woman in the vicinity or someone who might start running for the hills. You, as the owner of said abode, have a responsibility to make your guest as comfortable as possible.
Not every guy is lucky enough to afford a housekeeper on call. And not every guy has the luxury of setting aside an entire day to clean up the house at the drop of a hat. That’s why we’ve come up with ways that are relatively easy and quick to execute, if you happen to suddenly find yourself expecting a house guest, while your home is in dire straits.
What to do on a planned sleepover
She may say she’ll love you no matter what, but you don’t have to show her the warzone that is your house on the first sleepover! Set aside an hour or two to make your home more inviting.

#1 Clean up . This one’s a no brainer, but where do you start if you need a quick fix? Start with the bedroom. Stuff all your junk someplace she won’t bother to look, like the laundry room or your closet or under the bed. You can worry about it later. Not sure what stuff you should prioritize? As a rule of thumb, anything on the floor and at eye level will catch her attention first, so declutter those areas first.
Then sweep the floor or quickly run a vacuum through any area you can be bothered to cover. As for the bathroom, just stash all the unsightly stuff into a cupboard or above the dresser. Scoop out the hair from the drain. And please, on behalf of all the women in the world, clean your toilet!
Last but not least, anything that is even remotely related to any of your exes, whether they’re pictures, gifts or clothes, must be stashed away in a place where your current lady love will never, ever find!

#2 Change the sheets. We’re not too fond of lying down on sheets that are covered with hell knows what bodily fluids. And even if your sheets don’t have stains, change them anyway to make sure they’re fresh and ready for a night of sweaty lovemaking. Fresh sheets always feel ten times better than week-old ones that have been marinating in your man-sweat.

#3 Hide the porn. Yes, we know you buy the occasional magazine, but we don’t need evidence of it staring us in the face as we use your bathroom.

#4 Warn the roomies. If you have roomies, the best case scenario would be to get them out of the house for the duration of your girl’s stay. There’s nothing more awkward for a girl than walking down the hall and having a strange shirtless man suddenly run into her.
If you can’t get the roomies out of the house, at least ask them to expect a visitor. Who knows, they might be nice enough to help you make your home a little more presentable.

#5 Replenish the stash. Your girl will probably already bring her own toiletries and clothes, so there’s no need to worry about that. But since it’s your home court, you’ll need to be the one to supply all the other necessary implements such as food, drinks, condoms and lube.
Nothing kills a mood faster than suddenly stopping to blame each other for the lack of condoms. So stock up on a couple of different ones and let her pick out which one she’d like you to use.

#6 Get her some entertainment. Of course, you won’t be getting it on throughout the entire night. So in the moments in between, plan something to keep both of you busy. Sure, you could always just talk and bond and cuddle and whatnot. But it still pays to be prepared.
The internet may be your savior. Just give your girl the wifi password, so she can go online when you’ve dozed off. If you don’t have a connection at home, bring out a couple of books and magazines that she might like, and keep them by the nightstand. If she’s not into that, pop a DVD and let her go on a series marathon with Suits or Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or whatever else she might be into. You’ll have a ton more to talk about when you’ve woken up.

#7 Prepare some mood lighting. Scented candles work wonders as they provide the perfect ambient light, while masking the smell of whatever she’s better off not smelling. If it’s too much of a fire hazard, go for a dim lamp. Relying on the street lights outside might not provide you with enough light to get anything done, while using your laptop as a nightlight might prove to be too distracting.

#EKITIGATE : NIGERIAN ARMY TO INVESTIGATE EKITI AND OSUN GOVERNORSHIP ELECTIONS OF 2014

The Nigerian Army on Tuesday announced a
high-powered Board of Inquiry (BOI) to
investigate serious malpractices involving its
personnel and to review the involvement of its
formations/units and their officials in elections
and other duties in aid of civil authority.
“The BOI is to investigate the alleged unprofessional and unethical conduct of some Nigerian Army personnel in Ekiti and Osun States’ Gubernatorial Elections 2014, as well as in any other State in Nigeria where other allegations of misconduct were made during the 2015 General Elections in the country,” the Army’s Acting Director of Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said in a press statement.
It would be recalled that last February,
SaharaReporters published an exclusive story about how some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in collusion with some army officers led by Brigadier-General Aliyu Momoh,the commander of the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State, rigged the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti and Osun States in 2014.
Our report included documents and audio recordings providing substantial courageously prepared and provided by Sagir Koli, a Captain in the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State who accompanied Brigadier General Momoh to a key PDP planning meeting in Ado-Ekiti on 20th June 2014 ahead of the Ekiti election which brought the current governor, Ayodele Fayose, back to power. The meeting involved Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro, Iyiola Omisore, Jelili Adesiyan, Omobolanle Oluwo, Wasiu Kayode Bawa-Allah and a crew of Nigerian army officers led by Brig. General Momoh. Captain Koli fled the country for fear of his life, but his teenage secondary school brother was arrested and tortured by army officials.
According to Tuesday’s statement, the mission of the BOI is to “prevent future unprofessional conduct by officers and men in the performance of the constitutional roles while strengthening Nigerian Army’s support to democratic values and structures in Nigeria.
