Nasiru El-Rufa’i through his media aide, Samuel Aruwan, on Monday in Kaduna warned that any worker that failed to participate in the verification exercise would be removed from payroll. It said the that the verification was compulsory, as it would aid the administration in updating its pay record.

Kinsmen of the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday warned the Peoples Democratic Party and the National Assembly not to damage the integrity of the minister over the alleged non-inclusion of the Lagos-Calabar Railway project in the 2016 Budget. The relatives of the former governor of Rivers State, who came together under the aegis of Concerned All Progressives Congress Members, explained that the saga was a blackmail to smear Amaechi’s image. The APC members from Ikwere Local Government Area of the state also drummed support for the minister, stating that Amaechi has always maintained a high sense of responsibility in public offices.

Wobodo noted that there was no way the minister would try to mislead the public, adding that his legacies while he was governor placed him (Amaechi) i...
