Group Empowers Low-income Nigerians
RSoftware Nigeria Ltd (RSNL) recently introduced a financial upgrading lottery for Nigerians in order to support their income as well as bring innovation into the market. During the official unveiling in Lagos, Executive Chairman RSNL, Omoba Omotosho said their aim is to alleviate poverty in the lives of winners, provide opportunity for Nigerians to be gainfully engaged in terms of becoming agents who get paid commissions from turnovers. He further said the ideology is to engineer a product that will be acceptable to Nigerians, benefit them, and empower the youths and low-in-come earners. “Lottery is not sport betting, we are licensed to operate. At RSNL you’re only paying for the numbers you drop. You generate memorable numbers like date of birth from 1-49. We have reduced the long odds, such that with Riders Lotto (RL), everyone is a winner” He said.
ASTUDY anchored by YIAGA Africa has scored the 8th National Assembly low on representation.
According to a report which was launched yesterday in Abuja by former Chairman of the Independent National Electoralcommission(inec), Professor Attahiru Jega, at the aggregate level, the overall assessment of representation was below average.
The positive rating stood at 29.8 percent of the respondents 34.0 percent as fair and another 34.0 percent as poor.
The rating across almost all indicators was a little better for the House of Representatives than the Senate.
It noted that the ratings are not as encouraging with respect to core components of representation such as visits and meetings with constituents, establishment and management of constituency offices, responses to constituents demands, attraction and execution of constituency projects and communication with constituents.
The report revealed that there was generally poor knowledge about the existence of constituency offices, except few who expressed awareness of such offices.
It further noted that constituents perception of functionality was damning, adding that access to these offices was rated to be poor.
Performance in terms of attraction and execution of constituency projects was also poorly rated and generally considered to be below average in both chambers.
