The Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), Lagos State Chapter, on Wednesday applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for replacing most of his first-term cabinet members with new hands.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the president’s list of 43  ministerial nominees was read on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.

The list of the nominees showed that Buhari returned only 12 former ministers who worked with him in his first-term and brought in 31 new ones.

The group, in a statement jointly signed by its State Coordinator, Mr Abdulwaheed Odunuga and its Secretary, Mr Adekunle Aderibigbe in Lagos congratulated all the ministerial nominees.

“We are highly delighted with the president’s decision to relieve most of the members of his old cabinet in order to give way for the “Next Level” that passionate patriotic citizens voted for.

“We had waited patiently for this moment with the belief that the necessary background check would have been carried out to affirm the personality of these patriotic men and women.

“The nominees, we believe, are ready for the great task to take the affairs, growth and development of the nation to the president’s next level vision,” the group said.

The youth leaders expressed great satisfaction with the calibre of men and women who made the lists.

“We are also glad that our visionary leaders like Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Adeleke Mamora made the list.

“We are glad that Rahmatu Tijjani, Lai Mohammed and several others made the honourable list.

“We implore the Federal Government to take the leadership matters of all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) very seriously and urgently to ensure none of these MDAs fall short of expectation,’’ the organisation said.

According to the BYO, there is currently a huge gap to fill in the information and orientation space for the country to control crimes and violence.

The group said that this had become imperative to awaken the consciousness of the citizens to play their patriotic roles, condemn and report all immoral acts.

“We also want to call on all Nigerians, most especially the elected and appointed ones, to brace up for the challenge ahead while treating matters with all urgency to solve problems and deliver beyond expectations.

“Nigeria will only be taken seriously in the world only when we show this with our actions. So God help us all,” the group said.

Buhari’s reappointed ministers are Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, Hadi Sirika, Zainab Ahmed, Lai Mohammed, Chris Ngige,  Adamu Adamu, Abubakar Malami,  Godfrey Onyeama, Ogbonnaya Onu, Osagie Enahire, Suleiman Adamu, and Mohammed Bello.

Those not reappointed are Okechukwu Enelamah,  Udoma Udo Udoma,  Heineken Lokpobiri, Audu Ogbeh and Usani Uguru.

Others are Ibe Kachikwu, Anthony Anwuka, Stephen Ocheni, Abdulrahman Dambazau, Abubakar Bwari, Cladius Daramola, Isaac Adewole, Adebayo Shittu, Solomon Dalong, Aisha Abubakar and Mansur Dan Ali. (NAN)

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
