Ortom signs N179.5b appropriation bill into law

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom signed into law on Thursday the N179.5 billion appropriation bill passed by the Benue State House of Assembly on Wednesday.

The fiscal estimate passed by the House includes N106 billion in recurrent expenditure and N73.5 billion in capital expenditure.

Signing the bill, the Governor acknowledged the Benue Assembly’s support, which he said accounted for his government’s successes in all sectors.

He said, “I must also commend the House for the speedy passage of the bill which is the last by our government. We thank the lawmakers for the cooperation we have been enjoying from the legislature which helped us record successes despite the security challenges posed to our state by armed herdsmen from Senegal, Niger, Mali, Central African Republic, Cameroon and others.”

He stated that the Assembly’s various laws became instruments for good governance, peace, and security in the state, emphasizing that the much-loved Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law of 2017 would go down in history as one of the laws that distinguished the state.

Femi Adesina Defends Buhari’s Decision to Travel to Dakar

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has said the President has to proceed with his scheduled foreign trip because one should never surrender to the antics of terrorists.

Adesina stated this in reaction to the criticisms that trailed the decision of the President to go ahead with his trip to participate in the International Development Association (IDA) for Africa Summit in Dakar, Senegal.

While explaining the reasons the President was traveling to Senegal, said he should go because there’s an international conference meant for heads of states and presidents which he should attend and never give in to terrorists.

The President left Abuja amid series of attacks in the last 24 hours in Katsina and Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Bandits opened fire on a convoy of his advance team in Katsina on Tuesday.

The team was heading for Daura, the president’s hometown when bandits ambushed them. In yet another Katsina attack, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, was gunned down.

Also, gunmen broke into Kuje Prison in the nation’s capital and set inmates, including high-profile Boko Haram suspects, free.

D’Tigress trash Senegal to win fourth AfroBasket title

The Nigeria women national basketball team, D’Tigress on Sunday defeated hosts Senegal in the final of the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket to win their fourth continental title.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that victory for D’tigress meant that they also successfully defend the title they won two years ago after defeating Senegal 65-48 in Bamako in 2017.

In a keenly-contested final match played on Sunday at the magnificent Dakar Arena which had as much as 15, 000 fans watching, the Nigeria women beat host Senegal 60-55 to win back-to-back continental titles.

As in previous Senegal games over the past few days, there was a deafening atmosphere at Dakar Arena but D’Tigress held their own.

NAN also reports that with Sunday’s feat, D’Tigress became the first team to win back-to-back FIBA Women’s AfroBasket titles since Angola followed up their 2011 triumph with another in 2013.

To make it to the final, Nigeria eased past Mali, 79-58, in Friday’s first semifinal.

Hosts Senegal needed to work extra hard to overcome a fearless and determined Mozambique team, 60-57, to return to the championship title game for the third time in a row.

Both Nigeria and Senegal have emerged as the best teams from the 12-team tournament and it came as no surprise that each reached the final after four wins in as many games.

After losing to Nigeria two years ago – not once but twice in Bamako – 12-time African champions Senegal were hoping to become the first team to win the tournament at home since the D’Tigress claimed the 2005 continental in Abuja.

With D’Tigress successfully completing their mission, attention will now shift to the male team, D’Tigers who are expected to compete at the FIBA World Cup in China later this month.

The FIBA World is scheduled to hold from Aug. 31 to Sept. 15.
