Nigerian government finally remmit 25 years pledge made to Clemence westerhuf

Eaglestare.blogspot.com

The federal government on Monday redeemed its pledge to provide a house for Clemence Westerhof, the Technical Adviser that led the Super Eagles to victory in the 1994 African Nations Cup competition.

Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, who presented the house documents to Westerhof in Abuja, said the promise was made 25 years ago.

He said Westerhof was the technical adviser that led the Super Eagles to victory in the African Nations Cup and qualified the team for its first World Cup in the USA in 1994.

According to him, many promises were made in moment of euphoria and elation, one of which was the allocation of a house which was never redeemed since 1994.

He said that Johannes Bonfrere, better known as Bonfere Jo, was also promised a house for leading the Super Eagles to the first Olympic football gold medal in 1996.

The minister said that the promise was forgotten, until it was redeemed by Muhammadu Buhari’s government in 2018, after 24 years.

“It was the public announcement of that redemption that brought to light, the commitment to redeem the promise made to Westerhof because immediately we became aware, we set out to work in the ministry.“This is more than a house, it symbolises the commitment of the Buhari administration to right yesterday’s wrongs, redress yesterday’s injustices and bring Nigerians together,” he said.

Mr Fashola urged the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to document the promises made by government to identify those that have been fulfilled and those yet to be fulfilled.

He said that the idea was to provide clear records for the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing to act towards redeeming the promises.

Chief of Army staff "bUratai: reason for rapid restructuring the nation security

eaglestares.blogspot.com It is no longer a joke, what the security of the country has become. Nowhere in the country is safe now and everyday Nigerians live in the fear of the unknown. If they turned to North, it is Boko Haram and bandits; South, it is kidnapping; West, it is armed robbery cum bandits and Middle Belt, it is herdsmen. Nothing however gives fillip to the seeming state of helplessness that Nigeria has found herself than last week, when three suicide bombers blew themselves up in a busy market outside Kondura, Borno State and the only thing President Muhammadu Buhari could say was to commit the bombers to God. As if that wasn’t enough despair to contend with, the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai too came out to say the reason the insurgents were doing well against the Nigerian Army was because his men at the warfront were not committed. What a leader there is! Yet, insecurity has continued to escalate in all parts of the country, as parents, according to UNICEF, ar...
