Jonathan made the denial via a post on his official Facebook page on March 7, 2016.
It reads:
“My attention has just been drawn to a spurious online publication alleging that I recently made comments on the state of the nation’s economy.”

“This falsehood must have sprung from the writer’s imagination, as I was neither at any forum requiring my interventions on the state of the economy, nor met with any group of newsmen, as claimed in the write-up.”
“I will simply urge Nigerians to disregard such fabrication, and rather concentrate on working for the good of our nation.”
President Muhammadu Buhari has been frequently criticized over the current state of the economy with many faulting his decision not to devalue the naira.

President Jonathan has given his reason for conceding defeat to President elect, Gen Buhari during the March 28th Presidential election. The President said he decided to concede to avoid a collective tragedy. He said there has to be a nation before any personal ambition can be fulfilled and that for him, what comes first is the nation before ambition. Pres Jonathan said this when he received the new French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denis Guaer (pictured left) at the state house yesterday April 16  "Since I assumed duty, I have been involved in quelling political crises in some African countries and I know what they passed through and what some are still going through.

NO MORE JAMB SCRATCH CARD FROM 2017 – Oloyede

Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB) Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyode said yesterday the board would abolish scratch cards to register for and check results, with effect from 2017. Oloyode, who spoke at the National Executive Council meeting of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) in Abuja, said students would generate JAMB PIN number for themselves from their phone or computers before registering for examinations. He said the JAMB would not support a situation where banks and vendors hoard the cards, only to sell them at a higher price. The JAMB registrar challenged NASU to get involved in the ownership of Computer-Based Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely exploiting students. He added that if academic-based stakeholders, such as NASU, own CBT centres, the board will be confident  the examinations will be conducted without hitch. Credit: Nation newspaper.
