The two day retreat for 36 ministerial
nominees who were recently screened and confirmed
by the Senate recently would kick off today.
Already, the ministers-designate, it was gathered,
arrived Abuja last night.
Venue of the retreat is the International Conference
Center, ICC, Abuja.
The event which would commence by 9:am is
expected to be declared open President Mohammadu
Buhari.
It will be recalled that the last batch of the confirmed
nominees names was submitted to the president at
the presidential villa in Abuja by the president of the
senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki on
Tuesday which made the retreat possible.
It is also expected that the inauguration of the
appointees would take place soon after the retreat.
Multi-national oil company, Shell, lied when it claimed it had cleaned up heavily polluted areas of the Niger Delta, Amnesty International and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD) said in a new report published on Tuesday. The report titled, “Clean it up: Shell’s false claims about oil spills in the Niger Delta”, documents ongoing contamination at four oil spill sites that Shell said it had cleaned up years ago.
