No better time to fix Nigeria – Gov. Sani Bello
BY MAIRIGA Juliana, Minna
Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello has urged Nigerians not to allow the zeal and commitment of the present administration to fix the country slip away, as there could be no better time than now to reposition the country to greater heights.
He gave this charge while felicitating with the entire Muslim Ummah in the state and country on the celebration of this year’s Eid-el- Sallah festival in a message signed by his Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Mr. Jide Orintunsin in Minna.
Governor Sani Bello stated that the present administration at the state and federal levels in the last two years have exhibited high sense of commitment to fixing the country and have persistently been working the talks of salvaging the country from the effects and the clutches of years of mismanagement.
“We have to ensure that the commitment of the present administration at the state and federal levels to fixing our country is not allowed to slip away. It is on record that no administration has given the much political will to reposition the country like the present one and we cannot afford to disappoint the future generations, by allowing the present opportunities to slip off.
“We have no better time to get Nigeria out of the woods than now. We have to resolve as a people to ensure that our system, our economy, our socio-cultural values and ethos work again. We have to support government in our quest to see our country great again”.
This he said was necessary to serve as a catalyst that would always spur government to remain focused in the discharge of its responsibilities and commitments to the country.
The governor then advised Muslim Ummah to imbibe the lessons of sacrifice, patience, humility, obedience and fear of Allah which characterize the festival.
He urged them to internalise those virtues as exemplified by the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) who demonstrated unequalled loyalty and obedience to God when he accepted to sacrifice his only son, Prophet Ishmael who also accepted to be slaughtered in servitude to Allah (SWT).
The Governor used the occasion to assure Nigerlites of more people-oriented developmental projects that would be fast-tracked and evenly spread across the state in fairness to all in the years ahead
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
