  By allcitynews.ng  A public policy and good governance think-tank, the Neo African Centre (NAC), has raised the alarm over the appointment of the chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zack Adedeji, into the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council. Under the arrangement, Adedeji is to serve as the Deputy Director of Fundraising for President Bola Tinubu’s election campaign. In a statement by its Director of Public Affairs, Richard Manson, the Centre frowns on the appointment, asking President Bola Tinubu to withdraw it forthwith. It wonders why the chief revenue collector of the country should be saddled with the partisan role of raising campaign fund for the man that appointed him. Such a move is indicative of corruption and capable of eroding public confidence in the chairman of the revenue agency. The statement reads in part: “We have noted with consternation and disbelief the recent appointment of the chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service ...

  By allcitynews.ng  In apparent bid to curb examination malpractice, Federal Government has officially released new uniform national Continuous Assessment (CA) guidelines, forcing examination bodies including the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) to establish secure, interoperable student CA portals linked to the Nigeria Education Data Infrastructure (NEDI).
