National Conference: North shelves plan to walk out
The umbrella body of northern Nigeria, Arewa Consultative Forum, has said the North has buried its initial plan to walk out of the National Conference, if the agenda of the conference does not address issues that affect the North.
A communiqué issued by the Northern Elders’ Forum after its two-day meeting in Kano on March 11, 2014, had asked delegates to the conference to stage a walkout whenever it became clear that their interest was at stake.
The northern elders had also dismissed the national conference saying, it “lacks a constitutional basis or any form of legitimacy or authority to speak for the people of the North or other Nigerians.”

By EMMANUEL AZIKEN, Political Editor
First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, who calls Mr. Innocent Chukwuma ‘my son’ is obviously not the only proud Nigerian excited about the entrepreneurial skills of the 53 year old Nnewi born billionaire. Just about any Nigerian that would tour any of Chukwuma’s factories in Nnewi, Anambra State or Enugu, Enugu State would show a kindred spirit to a man who has used sheer ingenuity, robust energy and what some associates say unusual honesty, in positioning Nigeria at the threshold of an industrial revolution. Chukwuma in 2011 put Nigeria in the league of vehicle producing countries after his Nnewi factory rolled out the first truly made in Nigeria vehicles.

Reps Probe petroleum minister for ₦10billion private jet expenses
The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a resolution to probe an alleged spending of N10bn by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to charter and maintain a jet for her personal use. The resolution indicated that the minister spent 500,000 Euros or N130m monthly to maintain the aircraft in the last two years.
