With the unexpected and untraceable misplacements and stealing of mobile phones, laptops, bags, not excluding academic materials amongst others in the school premises, have placed paramount and tantamount questions on the lips of students of the institution, raising doubts on the safety of the school.

FG Set to Provide 3 million jobs in the next 3 years – Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

The Federal Government of Nigeria has promised to create three million jobs in the Technology, Wholesale and Retail, Construction and Allied sectors of the Nigerian economy within the next three years, starting from this year 2016.

This assurance was made yesterday by the Vice President of the country, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, upon receipt of the Strategic Framework and Implementation Plan on Job Creation and Youth Employment in Nigeria.

The plan, according to Osinbajo’s Facebook page, is jointly packaged by the Job Creation Unit of the Presidency and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, NESG, and is a positive initiative geared towards job creation in Nigeria.

“This year alone, over 700, 000 private sector jobs will be created, majority of which will be in the Agro-allied sector. This private sector-led job creation plan is different from the direct government jobs planned by the Buhari presidency which includes the 500,000 teaching jobs for unemployed graduates,” he said.

While admitting that the process of this job creation is slow, he insisted that President Buhari’s administration was doing all within its power to address any delay.

Nigerian Navy Arrests 11 People Trying to Sail to Europe Illegally by NAN

The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT, on Wednesday in Lagos, said it had arrested an impersonator and 11 suspects for allegedly attempting to stow away in a vessel to Europe.

The Commanding Officer NNS BEECROFT,Commodore Abraham Adaji, made the disclosure when he addressed journalists at Apapa, Lagos.

He gave the names of the suspects asAkinwunmi Jeflando, Pope Olu, Jacob James, Samuel Jodge, Ade Samadin, Dan Gogo, James Akinbami, Paul Oguns, Joseph Emmanuel, Stephen Cooper and Jalo Cooper.

Adaji said: “Preliminary investigations revealed that the arrested persons boarded the vessel, CITRON, through the rudder trunk access manhole in a bid to travel with the vessel to Europe.

“The suspects were arrested at about 12. 30 a.m. on March 11 for illegally boarding Merchant Vessel CITRON berthed at Capital Oil Jetty, Apapa, Lagos.

“They were detected and subsequently arrested by our patrol boat,” Adaji said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adaji handed over the suspects to the Nigeria Immigration Service for further investigation and prosecution.

He also said that the Chief of the Naval Staff,Vice-Admiral Ikot Ibas, had zero tolerance for all maritime crimes in Nigeria’s waters.

He called on criminally-minded Nigerians and other nationals to seek legitimate employment instead of engaging themselves in illegal activities.

One of the stowaways, Olu, said he was not happy with his standard of living which prompted him to attempt to enter Europe illegally.

Another stowaway, Cooper, blamed frustration for his attempt to travel abroad through illegal means.

A representative of the NIS, Lekan Olagunju, a Chief Superintendent, received the stowaways from the Navy.

He said that investigations would continue with a view to ascertaining the claims of their nationalities before they could be prosecuted.

In another development, the Navy also arrested one Mohammed Abubakar, for allegedly impersonating a Seaman Writer in the Nigerian Navy.

While being handed over to the Nigeria Police, Adaji said he was arrested in Lagos.

“The police will further conduct investigations on the suspect,” he said. (NAN)
