SENATOR PROTESTS EXCLUSION OF BAYELSA INDIGENE

  Senator Emmanuel Paulker, the Senator representing Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, on Tuesday, protested the non-inclusion of any indigene of Bayelsa state on the list of 47 career diplomats sent to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari, for screening and approval.
The Senator, who raised a point of order shortly before the start of plenary, told other distinguished Senators that the development was an embarrassment to his people despite the fact that they have qualified Bayelsans in the ministry of foreign affairs.
 Speaking on the issue Senator Paulker said, Initially I thought those calls were misplaced but as we go through the record this morning, the facts that are available to us even at the Foreign Affairs ministry, shows that at least we have two Bayelsans that are in the level of deputy directors.
I believe that these two personalities can fit in to where these nominees came from. Equally on the list, there are some states that have up to three nominees.
Non-inclusive of any Bayelsans on the list is a clear violation of our right in the Constitution. My only prayer is that before the committee considers this list, I implore you and my colleagues to intervene through the committee.
Infact, communicate to the Presidency of the omission so that justice can be done to the state called Bayelsa.

ABIA STATE: NO AVAILABLE LAND FOR GRAZING - GOV. IKPEAZU

The Abia State Governor, Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, has restated that the state had no land for cattle grazing.

The Governor insisted that Abia state and the entire South-East zone had less land than some states in the North, adding that grazing reserves should be limited to the North as Southern states have limited land.
Our position is that the entire landmass of all the states in the South East is less than the landmass of one state in the North, he said.
There is no grazing land in the South East. We are looking for land; we dont have enough. Again, God put a lot of minerals beneath our soil. Nobody should graze on them.

REPS REJECT 5 YEARS VALIDITY OF E-PASSPORT

The House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected the five years validity of the e-Passport as they sought the reversal to 10 years as was the case before.

The new e-Passport which has no option of a renewal after expiration, is valid for only five years and compels holders to process a new one.
The House noted that in the pre-e-Passport era, the travelling document had a validity of five years in the first instance and could be renewed for another five years.
The Honorable Members called on the NIS to initiate measures aimed at reverting to the 10-year lifespan policy for the Nigerian Passport.
