The Bayelsa State capital on Saturday, Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Paul Boroh, said that the federal government plans to liberalize the modular refineries in order to develop the oil rich region.
The leadership of the National assembly, led by Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, are billed to visit President Muhammadu Buhari in London where the President is currently observing a medical vacation.
Traceable spending of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the People’s Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidates in the 2015 general elections has shown that Presidential Candidates of both parties, Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan respectively, breached the 2010 Electoral Act in their campaign expenditures.
The leadership of the National Assembly has issued a working document to chairmen of the various committees directing them to thoroughly examine all allocations in the 2017 budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari.
