Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the citizens of Jigawa will reciprocate his efforts in the upcoming 2027 elections.

Speaking at the official launch of the distribution of ATM cards to beneficiaries of the second phase of the Federal Government’s Cash Transfer program in Dutse, Namadi praised the various initiatives introduced by the Federal Government to fight poverty and hunger.

Namadi mentioned that under the second phase of the Conditional Cash Transfer program, approximately 23,000 less privileged residents in the state will each receive 75,000 naira.

He emphasized that this initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Initiative,” which aims to uplift vulnerable communities and support their businesses.

The launch of this second phase is a testament to the commitment of the Federal Government to improve the lives of the less privileged, Namadi remarked.

Rick Buckler, the drummer for the influential British band The Jam, has passed away at the age of 69 after a brief illness. He died peacefully on February 17, 2025, in his hometown of Woking, Surrey, surrounded by family.

Born on December 6, 1955, in Woking, Buckler co-founded The Jam in the early 1970s alongside Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton.

The band gained prominence with hits like “Town Called Malice” and “Going Underground,” becoming a leading force in the UK’s mod revival movement. They achieved 18 consecutive UK top 40 singles and released six studio albums before disbanding in 1982.

Following The Jam’s split, Buckler engaged in various musical projects, including forming the band Time UK and later joining From The Jam, a tribute act with former bandmate Bruce Foxton.

He also explored careers outside of music, such as furniture design, and authored several books about his experiences with The Jam.

The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable payments within the U.S. Treasury Department.

In a statement released on Monday via its official X account, DOGE explained that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) field was previously optional for these payments, which made tracking nearly impossible.

The TAS field is a crucial identification code that links Treasury payments to specific budget line items.

DOGE mentioned that following its intervention over the weekend, the TAS field is now a mandatory requirement for Treasury payments.

The White House clarified on Monday that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a senior adviser to the president, not as an official employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

A filing from Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House’s Office of Administration, confirmed that Musk does not have decision-making power and can only offer advice or relay the president’s directives.

Fisher’s filing, part of a case against Musk filed by the State of New Mexico, emphasized that Musk is not employed by the US DOGE Service, nor does he hold the title of DOGE Service Administrator.

The filing also stressed that, like other senior White House advisors, Musk lacks the formal authority to make government decisions on his own.
