. Senate chickens out of overriding Buhari's veto on Electoral Act Amendment Bill

Urges him to Show his Primary School Certificate

THE Senate yesterday discovered that President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominee as the substantive Director-General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commision (ICRC), Joe Anekhu Ohiani has no primary School leaving Cerificate as he was said to have stopped in primary five.

Consequently, the Senate asked him to go and supply documentary evidence of his primary school education before his appointment can be confirmed as there was no document to show that he went to a primary school.

The directive of the senate was when Ohaini from Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State appeared before the Senator Adamu Aliero, Kebbi led Senate Committee on Works for screening in line with provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

While the lawmakers were satisfied with other credentials of Ohiani who currently serves in acting capacity, the Senate Committee insisted that he should provide his primary school documents.

Ohiani who is pioneer staff of the agency started working there since it was established in 2009.

Trouble started after Ohiani in his opening statement told the lawmakers that he did not finish his primary school education and that in primary 5, he wrote and ed examination into the secondary school.

Apart from the hurdle of providing evidence of his primary school, Ohiani also had to respond to probing questions from one of the lawmakers on how he had allegedly been forced to compromise a few times against his professional judgements on matters.

The Nominee while responding, denied the allegation explaining to lawmakers the integrity tests businesses must through in ICRC before he can attest his signature to them, just as he explained that nothing is cast on stone and that sometimes especially after a client as effected noted corrections, the commission could revert its stance on an earlier decision.

Ohiani is a trained lawyer from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. He is also an irably schooled financial who has served in various Presidential committees.

As a pioneer staff of ICRC, he boasts of cognitive experience to required to steer the ship of the agency.

Nigeria has a huge infrastructure deficit and to make up for the shortfall, the country has expanded its total debts to roughly N51 trillion.

In his remarks, Chairman, Senate Committee on Works, Adamu Alierio who noted that ICRC will have to come forward with brilliant strategies for concessioning that can help turn around the economy, said that anything short will plunge the country into more debts.

He said that the Senate has removed all encumbrance for the commission to hit the ground running when it ed the ICRC establishment bill last week.

In his response, Ohiani shared a few insights into what he hopes to achieve if given the job, adding that he has penciled down 53 projects worth $80 billion. The projects include six standard hospitals in each of the geo-political zones which he hopes will drastically reduce medical tourism.

He said that the ICRC under his watch will also create Mobile Medical Units that will take health care treatment to the nooks and crannies of the country, adding that with Lekki Deep Seaport near completion and that of Badagry Seaport coming after, the problem of congestions that have hindered businesses at the Apapa/Tin Can Island ports will be reduced if not completely eliminated.

He shared similar roaps on roads, ICT and the needs for Smart Classrooms for students, e-library and in the aviation section he hopes to bring to fruition if appointed.

In the mean time, he has to first present evidence that he attended primary school before he would be cleared.

In a country where an agbero can easily rise to the rank of a president /Government
Examples,: Tinubu, mc oluomo and our very own bubu

one day, one drama

Nigeria is the only country where you can be denied a work of 30k because you have no certificate, but will be allowed to Rule over 200 million people and embezzle Billions unchallenged because you can deceive the literates that claims to be sufferisticated.

From Salisu Buhari (Toronto) to

Muhammad Buhari (Nepa Bill)

to Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Pry cum Secondary certification saga)

To New act Justice Olukayode Ariwoola (started Pry at 1 year old)

Now, Joe Anekhu Ohiani (No Pry school)


E be like say no body go school in this country again

Lol... This country and cruise be like 5 and 6

Nigerians have allowed people with questionable character rule them across board for years

Nigeria is slowly turning to a circus full of clowns

When you think you have seen it all, another one will just spring up.

All because of age falsification


Bola tinubu does not have, masari the suppose vice does not have, this one doesn't have...

They are doing this because their primary school certificates if presented, will reveal their true age...

What sort of a govt is this? Buhari laid a foundation, future generation of scammers will build on it.

Apc matter just tire me. Why most of them have this certificate issue. Them use am swear for them?

Peter Pandora Criminal Obi is a thief

Na now all of una go know the importance of Primary school ..

Inec should do same to Tinubu

That means Yekini Amoda Ogunlere aka Bola Tinubu must produce his!

This is getting ridiculous and very very st*d.

what use is primary or secondary school certificate when
we are talking about service delivery.

primary school cert out live its importance once you get into secondary school and
you secondary school cert outlive it use once get into university.

the focus should be :
-> does he/she have the skills to perform the task?
-> for evidence: where did the individual acquire the skill-
definitely not in primary or secondary school.

how can you see a graduate and you are asking for his primary/secondary school certificate

it's like asking a PhD holder to prove s/he attended tertiary institute.
or
asking a 15yr-old to prove he was once a 10yr-old

this is the reason we keep losing talented individuals to
foreign countries especially in tech.
Because of this nonsense certificate worshiping, you see a very season techie losing a job to an individual who has no
experience and whose only qualification is a cert and his so-called prestigious school.

modified:
we just like barking at rocks in this country.
This is how they will go an ask a minister of economics during screening to sing national anthem instead of asking tactical an technical questions relating to the field.

This istration and certificateless appointees.

I just don't want to laugh,but see myself laughing endlessly
Buhari regimy no go ki person bfo hm
time ooo
