Tinubu Appoints Jega to Lead Livestock Reforms Committee
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Professor Attahiru Jega, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as co-chair of a committee tasked with overseeing livestock reforms in Nigeria. The announcement was made by presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale during the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Tinubu emphasized Jega’s pivotal role in coordinating the committee, which aims to tackle challenges hindering agricultural productivity and create new opportunities across the livestock-farming value chain for farmers, herders, processors, and distributors.
Highlighting the need for collaborative efforts, Tinubu called upon committee members from both the public and private sectors, state governors, and the Nigerian public to actively engage in implementing these reforms. He stressed the importance of addressing obstacles to agricultural growth and ensuring that the reforms benefit all stakeholders involved in the livestock sector.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to rumours claiming it has approved Adire as the new fabric for the NYSC uniform.
It can be recalled that the Federal Government recently announced plans to review the NYSC uniform, which sparked speculation online that Adire had already been selected as its replacement.
However, the government has clarified that no final decision has been made regarding the new uniform.
“I mentioned Adire during the discussion. I also mentioned Ankara. My intention was simply to cite examples of some of the proposals that have been put forward in the course of our consultations. It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.”
