The
Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Saturday advised Nigerians to be more
vigilant in order not to fall prey to terror attacks.
He gave
the advice in an interview with newsmen shortly after attending the 90th
Birthday and Thanksgiving service of Madam Dorcas Adedayo at the Cathedral of
St James the Great, Oke-Bola, Ibadan.
The
vice president said that the recent alert on plan by the terrorists to attack
important personalities using garbage carriers was real.
He
therefore said that Nigerians irrespective of status must be security conscious
at all times and report any suspicious movements to security agents.
On the
bailout to states, Osinbajo explained that it was a creative way of addressing
the financial crunch facing states.
He that
the bailout approved for the states was in three categories, including monies
released for payment of backlog of salaries from the $2.1bn NLNG tax.
The
vice president said the second package was a loan which the states could access
at very concessionary rate and the third involved conversion of most loans
states owed commercial banks into bonds.
He
added that details on the bond were being worked out but may have a tenor of
between 15 and 20 years.
