2015:Why Jonathan can’t declare now Bode George, Balarabe Musa differ on Reps’ endorsement Saminu Ibrahim, Abuja

n spite of the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the House of Representatives caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest next year’s presidential election, there are indications that the President is being tactical about his public declaration to join the race. Initially, there were speculations that Jonathan might declare his intention immediately after the Ramadan period, but sources close to the Villa said the President is still “testing the waters� before making a pronouncement on the subject. The PDP caucus in the House of Representatives had on Tuesday night reportedly endorsed Jonathan, requesting him to seek a second term in 2015. The lawmakers met with the President in the Villa. Following the lawmakers’ endorsement, was a meeting of governors of PDP-controlled states with the President. >>Continued on Page 2

Cover 2015:Why Jonathan can’t declare now Continued from Page 1 Saturday Newswatch gathered that, notwithstanding the “wholesale� endorsement of the President by his party’s caucus in the House of Representatives, divergent views by the governors on the matter may have informed Jonathan’s delay in declaring his future political ambition, particularly for 2015. Sources close to the meeting claimed that the governors were not particularly against the President seeking reelection. However, the gathering was said to have been sharply polarised between those who saw nothing wrong in the President declaring now and those who argued that it would not augur well for him to make public his intention

now, but should be deferred. To the later group, because of some unresolved issues such as the inability yet to rescue the abducted Chibok school girls, the timing would be misread, and most expectedly criticized by the opposition as being insensitive. At the meeting, sources said arguments for and against Jonathan declaring now or later were objectively weighed for him to consider. At the end of the day, the wisdom in tarrying a while was said to have been favourably considered, hence the President is not in a hurry to declare. But speaking on the endorsement, former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP (South-West), Chief Olabode George, said: “If the caucus de-

cided to endorse the President, I have no objection to that. For me, legally, it is within the constitution for him to run; and he represents a zone by the concept of our party. “It was by divine intervention that the leadership fell on South South; so let them complete their eight years. That will bring a sense of belonging; it will rekindle their loyalty and the belief that they are also part and parcel of Nigeria. “After their eight years, it goes somewhere else. This is not new. In Switzerland, you have three major tribes - the Germans, French and the Italians. The headship of that country is rotated; no quarrels. It is not a matter of whether you are a minority or majority: three

co-exist in peace. So, we can do that,� he argued. However, Alhaji Balarabe Musa disagreed with the position of the House caucus which reportedly endorsed the President, saying, “I want to know the position of the northern caucus of the PDP in the House.� Further, he asked: “If the northern caucus of the PDP in the House of Representatives are part of the endorsement, do you think they are sincere about it? “It is contradictory, because they said they want a President of northern extraction, and now they are saying they are endorsing Jonathan. Or, are they saying the northern caucus is not part of those that endorsed him,� the former governor of old Kaduna State asked.

ACF warns over ID cards for northerners in S’East Baba Negedu, Kaduna

A

rewa Consultative Forum (ACF), yesterday, faulted the decision to issue northerners resident in the South East

ing that it could jeopardize the multi-billion naira business interests of easterners resident in the North. Consequently, the ACF expressed the concern that if the North embarks on a similar exercise in the region, it could cause crisis that may lead to the division of Nigerians on ethnic or religious lines. The forum, however, said there was nothing wrong with issuing identity cards, arguing that what is wrong in this particular case is that it is discriminatory, targeting a segment of the natio’s population. Addressing members of the South-South/SouthEast Arewa Coalition that paid a courtesy call on the Forum yesterday, Deputy

Secretary-General of ACF, Engr. Abubakar Umar, said statistics indicated that Igbo investments in Kaduna, Kano and Jos alone were in excess of N45 trillion. Umar said with huge investments in just three states of the North, the easterners have no reason to maltreat northerners doing businesses in their domain, saying, “If the table turns round, it could be disastrous as these

it; but we are praying for understanding among the entire Nigerians to accept themselves wherever they live to earn legitimate livelihood.� He explained that the Yoruba and the Igbo in Jos, capital of Plateau State, lost about N480 billion and N410 billion investments respectively in the 2011 postelection violence, adding that the South South also lost about N970 billion in the same crisis. His words: “We know these statistics; we have

these statistics; so we expect the Igbo to treat our kinsmen, our brothers and sisters in the East as kings and queens in view of the fact that they (Igbo) have more investments in the North than in the East. “Take Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, for example. The Igbo occupy over 73 per cent of the land. So, these are some of the reasons they should be everybody’s keepers in their place,� Umar noted. Also speaking, the leader of the coalition, Mallam Awwal Yusuf, told ACF members that northerners were doing business under the atmosphere of fear in the East, calling on the forum to intervene because according to him, “every trader or Muslims from the North is considered a Boko Haram members.� Yusuf said the Arewa Coalition has gone to court over the issue of identity cards in order to seek justice and be free from undue mo-

lestation. “We are so embarrassed with this issue of identity cards; why should it be only traders or Muslims from the North that should be identi

to a court in Enugu, and we were assured that the state Governor, Sullivan Chime, is ready to help us by sending his lawyer to stand for us,� Yusuf said. On his part, the ACF Secretary-General, Col. John Ubah (rtd) reminded the visiting northerners from the East that ACF was established to protect the entire North and its people, saying that whatever happens to any northerner anywhere is considered a serious issue. According to Ubah, “it is very sad to brand our people as Boko Haram in the East. But we want to tell you that we have not been sleeping over your plight; we will go through the northern governors to address the issue,� he promised.

The power sector was handed over to private investors on November 1 last year, with the aim of improving electricity supply to boost socio-economic activities. The BPE boss also urged labour unions in the country to desist from blaming the generation and distri-

bution companies on the delay in getting the desired results in the sector. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted Dikki as saying: “The major headache we have is that our plants. So the issue is not for the people to get angry with the distribution companies who don’t have the power. “The major problem we have for power supply now is not the private sector investors who have taken over the distribution and generation companies.

Jonathan,others for ICT Centenary Awards Tunde Busari

P

resident Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been listed among other eminent Nigerians to be honoured during the Nigeria Broadband Business Forum and ICT Centenary awards slated for October 8, 2014. The award, being put together by the Information Technology Media Alliance in commemoration of the ICT development in Nigeria in the last 100 years, will be preceded by a conference with the theme: Broadband Business as Catalyst for Development and a Connected Nigeria. The wife of the President, Mrs. Dame Patience Jonathan, is also on the honours list in recognition of

her role as the ambassador of the Child Online Protection following her appointment by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) last year. The IT Media Alliance said there are several indisputable reasons, many of which are in the public space, why the president and his wife qualify for the centenary award. Speaking on the event which coincides with the # _‰_[ amalgamation of Nigeria’s former Southern and Northern protectorate under the previous British colonial masters, the Chairman of Information Technology Media Alliance, Mr. Aaron Ukodie stated that the conference and the Night

of Excellence during which awards would be given to distinguished Nigerians is intended to celebrate the beautiful journey so far in the ICT ecosphere in Nigeria.

Jerome Ezenwelu, a Catholic cleric, yesterday, blasted members of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) over what he described as the “incessant toiling with human lives.� The Catholic Cleric told newsmen in Onitsha that he was disappointed with the doctors over a strike action to press home their demand. He stated that as vocation doctors, they should be more concerned with the protection of human lives, adding that the present strike action by the association has exposed the lives of innocent Nigerians,

especially the poor, who bills in private hospitals, to danger. According to Fr. Ezenwelu, the continued strike by Nigerian doctors has further contradicted the principle of medical practice as the last hope of life’s sustenance through medicine, and called on the striking doctors to seek other means of pressing home their demand rather than endangering the lives of fellow Nigerians. The cleric further stated that continuing with the strike was unnecessary as the federal government has reportedly signed an agreement with the association after meeting their demands.

FG lauded over education policy Tunde Busari

T

Ojo made this assertion during the 16th Valedictory Service/Graduation Ceremony of Class of 2014, held on the permanent site of the school at Ibafo. He maintained that the new curriculum makes it mandatory for secondary school students to take another compulsory subject, which is trade subject with mathematics, English Language., ICT and Civic Education. With this, he said, a student can be self employed soon after leaving college. Ojo said, those that study Tie and Bleaching, Fisheries, Catering craft, Welding etc if properly grounded can easily stand on their own, and become employers of labour early in life. “We have our products in all areas of human endeavour

such as: Medicine, Engineering, Law, Accountancy, Economics etc, one of them is even a pilot now, and we have those who are already pursuing their Ph.D programmes.� Pastor Ojo also reiterated that the school is not ready to compromise on discipline because life is full of challenges. He equally urged the graduating students to combine academic excellence with good character to make the society great. He also congratulated the proprietress of the school, Mrs. Adunola Ajibola Ojo, while the head teacher, Mr. E.A. Adegoke, urged the students to develop their life, and not to be complacent with their present status because according to him, “you have just begun the journey of life and should live up to your parents’ expectation and to the glory of God.

n the beginning, Vice Admiral Murtala 6 $ / Military Administrator of Niger State had no intention to vie for any elective position, let alone becoming the governor of R ƒ !

by the generosity of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that gave him the most exalted # (without primaries). It was during the political crisis between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his Vice, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, that stakeholders of the PDP in Adamawa State shopped for a credible man they could use to stream Atiku politically in his own state. Consequently, Nyako’s name was suggested to the presidency, after which he was eventually lobbied into the ruling PDP. It would be recalled that the former # # # % Ibrahim Babangida got the PDP ticket just two weeks to the party’s primaries and was endorsed by the party’s stakeholders as the standard bearer on a mission to salvage the state. Nyako, before the PDP endorsement was a card carrying member of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and was given the guber ticket of PDP with a promise to carry along its political generals. Ironically, however, the same PDP stakeholders in the state who fought the # 6 His sins Nyako at his swearing-in ceremony stated that “...running government would not be business as usual...,� a statement which did not go down well with some political bigwigs who felt that they had invested much in him and as such ought to be compensated with contracts and juicy appointments. The failure of the governor to reward some of the PDP generals led to disconnection between him and the godfathers as well as others that worked for his election victory. For instance, Prof. Jibril Aminu who is regarded as the link man of the PDP that forced other 13 gubernatorial aspirants to step down for Nyako, had political rift with the governor over the sharing of appointments. And many other stakeholders like Umar Ardo distanced themselves from Nyako and allegedly mobilised for his removal. It would be recalled that shortly after Progressives Congress (APC), Nyako % 7 6 Jonathan whom he accused of not keeping to the terms of a one-term pact to which he appended his signature before he was allowed to contest in 2011. Nyako had warned Jonathan to honour the terms and refrain from precipitating another civil war by deploying his foot soldiers to work towards re-election in 2015. The governor, who only re-echoed an earlier sentiment on the same subject by his Niger State counterpart, Dr. Aliyu Babangida, had been quoted to have said: “Leaders must be honest with their colleagues and the greater society. I have # if there is the need to develop another craw craw in another civil war, I will stand by.� & 6 # { ] ?

to Jonathan, in which the President was, among other weighty allegations, accused of not being faithful to his agreement to serve only for four years, the pro-Jonathan camp did not take Nyako’s comments lying low. When the tension generated in the wake of the one-term statement issued in January this year ebbed, Nyako shot another political goal with his widely circulated memo to the 19 northern governors, titled “Ongoing Full-Fledged Genocide in Northern Nigeria.� U described the Jonathan-led administration as corrupt, and incompetent, he also lashed out at the President for executing a deliberate genocide against the North, killing innocent citizens mindlessly and ascribing the atrocities to members of the deadly Boko Haram sect. The strongly-worded April 2014 memo appeared to be the last straw for Nyako, as ! reckoning of the powers-that-be. Within a # 6 * < 9 launched. The rank of PDP lawmakers in the state House of Assembly swelled with the defection of lawmakers elected on the ticket of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) to the PDP in May. This made the entire 25-member assembly to be composed of PDP lawmakers. The defection of opposition lawmakers to the PDP came after the congresses of the APC were concluded. The governor’s # %& the end of the exercise, as the structure # " had infuriated the lawmakers, whose fear of Nyako’s move to install his son as outcome of the congresses. The internal wrangling in the party fuelled the grand plot by the establishment to deal a blow on Nyako. And with a politically monochromatic assembly in place, the stage was set for the removal of the governor through constitutional means. Upon service of a notice of impeachment on him, Nyako saw the writing on the wall about his exit, but refused to be cowed into submission. He declared a two-day holiday to frustrate the plot against him through the panel of seven persons constituted by the state acting chief judge to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against him. But the plan did not succeed. The hammer As the result of political rifts between Nyako and some PDP bigwigs especially the immediate past national chairman of PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur who was Tukur, as governor of the state in 2015 pitched him against Nyako during which " 6 the party’s state executive council under the chairmanship of Mijinyawa Kugama in a manner that aroused the sympathy of some governors that later formed the famous G7 6 " 6 6 ? fed him (decamping to the APC) and his miscalculation not to carry the lawmakers along in his decisions, led to a crack that Continued on Page 16

as motivated them to allegedly bankroll his impeachment. Although, 18 lawmakers were initially seen to have gone to the APC with Nyako, they retraced their steps when their interests couldn’t be protected in the new party. This was when their favoured candidate for the state chairmanship, Mr. P.P. Elisha, was denied the party’s number one seat at the APC primaries. Consequently, the lawmakers went back to their familiar “home,� – PDP - where they were tutored on how to get “the strongman� out of the way as a mark of their loyalty to the party’s course. History in the hallowed chamber The military personnel deployed to maintain peace and order as it was dawned that Nyako would be impeached last Wednesday, took over all strategic points leading to Yola, the capital of Adamawa State despite the heavy down pour. It should be noted that the impeachment followed the review of the report of the seven-man panel of inquiry set up by the acting Chief Judge to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against the governor and his deputy, Bala Ngilari. The Assembly equally directed the former acting chief judge, Justice Ambrose Mammadi, to swear in the Speaker of the House, Alhaji Ahmadu Fintiri, as the Acting Governor. Deputy Governor Ngilari had to the lawmakers to avoid being impeached with his principal since two of them that indicted the Nyako administration. The House had on June 18, 2014 commenced impeachment proceedings against former Governor Nyako and Deputy for gross misconduct and misappropriation of state funds. The House then passed a resolution ordering the acting chief judge to set up a seven-man panel as required by the constitution to prove the 20 and six-count charges preferred against the governor and his deputy respectively. Fintiri, presiding on Tuesday’s plenary, _Q 6 ‘ 188(9) that allowed the lawmakers to preside within 14 days over the report constituted by Justice Mammadi to prove Governor Nyako and his deputy beyond doubt. While moving a motion for the adoption # ? representing Gombi Constituency, Jerry Kundisi, said since the House had met the constitutional requirement of 2/3, the 6 ? report for debate. The speaker who quoted section 188 of the 1999 constitution as amended said the House was empowered by the constitution to order the constitution of a panel to investigate misconduct against the governor and that if found wanting, his According to him, the House preferred 20-count charges against Nyako out of which four were dropped for lack of evidences while 16 were proven by Assembly. He said some of the reports by the panel included outstanding salaries of civil servants to the tune of N2.3 billion for the months of September and October 2012, the # _Z of the Secretary to the state Government (SSG) between 2012 and 2013, the siphoning of N142 million as illegal deductions from the salaries of workers and overbearing strangulation of local government funds, among others. The speaker noted that all the 16 charges against Nyako were proven beyond reasonable doubt by the panel and as such he was found guilty of all the allegations. Subsequently, Kundisi moved for the impeachment of Nyako and then motion was seconded by the member representing

Politics wish to run in 2015: Clamour for Northern presidency I2015 – Ohakim grossly misplaced – Ex-ANLCA boss F Emma Mgbeahurike, Owerri

Sir Ernest Elochukwu is the immediate past national president of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA). He is also a politician of repute, as well as the Managing Director of Nestello Gateways Group based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. In this interview with AMAKA AGBU, Elochukwu delves into various political issues including the clamour for the presidency in 2015; the ripe time for the South East to take a shot at the presidency; panacea to insurgency in the country, and the hydra-headed issue of corruption. Excerpts:

D

o you have any political ambition come 2015? Every normal human being is a political animal. The essence of playing any role in politics is to position yourself # the general public, harnessing the # # development in terms of human and material development, thereby, enriching the quality of life of the citizenry. In 2011, I aspired to the House of Representatives for Nnewi North/ Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency of Anambra State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ordinarily, it wouldn’t have been necessary for me to aspire to that position again, but a combination of factors has made it imperative. First, is the issue of bad representation. The gentleman who represents us is not doing it well. The second reason - almost * # equity. Our Federal Constituency is made up of several towns, spanning three local government areas and there is an understanding that the opportunities would go round hence it becomes even very absurd for an incumbent who has not done well to want to continue. What are those unsolved issues that motivated you to aspire to go to the House of Representatives? What motivated me to desire to participate in partisan politics is the experience I garnered as the president of my association, the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA). Within the period I served, I saw a lot of lacuna in terms of what the government could do for the business man; that is, the importer, exporter, and the trader who are actually at the base of our national economy. Part of the reasons our economy doesn’t seem to be doing well is because there are lots of distortions and gaps within the system that actually have made doing business in Nigeria a kind of the businessmen directly; it is also

business men are encountering, they are actually transferring same U able to use my experience to bring # legislature so that the lawmakers 6 6 think out how we, as a country, can start working towards economic stabilisation and real economic growth, which is lacking right now. Again, there is this erroneous thinking that those perceived as successful in business need not dabble into politics. I believe this thinking is premised on the popular notion in Nigeria that # # ] the embezzlement train. I believe that political positions should be for service to the people and the nation; hence we could start emulating the practice in developed nations where outstanding accomplishments in other areas of human endeavour ‘ U funny that in Nigeria, many people # No wonder we are retrogressing instead of progressing. What do you think about the clamour by the North for the 2015 presidency? The clamour of the North for the Presidency, which actually started in 2010 with the demise of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, is grossly misplaced. The idea of this Federation is that every component part of the country ought to have access - on a rotational basis - at the presidency. We are talking about what is commonly referred to as zoning. Nigeria is divided into six geo-political zones and I can certainly say that this is a very good thing that the PDP, which is credited with this, has bequeathed to Nigerians. The idea is to allow people to have that access and therefore make sure that there is that stability because stability comes when everybody knows that somehow, some way, there is no marginalisation; that someone from his own stock geopolitically would have a shot at the presidency, which

But then, the idea is that we should operate it in tandem with constitutional reality. For instance, when the North was said to be clamouring for the presidency or reluctant to allow Goodluck Jonathan, then the Vice President, to assume the position of the % worrisome because the constitution provides that there would be President and Vice President. And from the reality of the zoning of president cannot possibly come from the same geopolitical zone. If the constitution, which states that in the absence of the president, either by way of resignation or impeachment or death or incapacitation, the Vice President takes over, then for anybody to be against the vice president taking over would mean that the person is not actually in sync with reality, because there is actually no other way it could be done. Having said that, it can now be understood that the same agitation or inclination may have actually advised the opposition

The clamour of the North for the Presidency, which actually started in 2010 with the demise of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, is grossly misplaced. The idea of this Federation is that every component part of the country ought to have access - on a rotational basis - at the presidency

ormer governor of Imo State, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, has expressed desire to ? next year, though with the approval and support of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Speaking with Saturday Newswatch, the erstwhile governor said: “Naturally, my desire is to complete my truncated tenure, but that would depend largely on the approval of my party, the PDP. “If my party thinks otherwise I will shelve the ambition and fall in line in whatever area they may want me to serve. I am not a desperate aspirant. I know the rope and I know the rules.� { 6 circumstances that saw # Z^__ keenly contested election and misunderstood by some power Elochukwu brokers.

Opinion Can the real progressives be upstanding? By Wale Bakare

M

uch has been said about the need to have a president that will be conscious enough to realise that he’s leading over 170million Nigerians who desire the basic needs of life to function in a country where it is almost a norm to fail until one fades out. Out of Nigeria’s huge population dubbed as the most populous black nation in the world, it calls for a squirm in intellectual struggle # of Nigeria’s population currently holds her citizenry by the jugular. The “majorityâ€? are politicians who were elected or appointed to serve in one government capacity or another. For instance, the House of Representatives boasts of about 360 members while the Senate is well represented with 109 members. The ministers, governors of each of the 36 states, their commissioners, other government parastatals and agencies cannot sum up | # bloated. Invariably, that’s the population of a minority holding the majority to ransom. # leadership, and one thing is certain - the centre is desirous of CHANGE. For these sets of Ă’Ă’ 6 than the devil you don’t’’ doesn’t hold water; not when the option you don’t know seems a # " ? know would most likely be preferred even if 6 ~ this may sound, the feelers among Nigerians depicts a clamour for change in whatever form it will come. " % ~ Party and the All progressive Congress, consciously exercise their fundamental human right; to decide if they will continue in this growing hardship marred by insecurity and uncertainties or look up to the opposition for genuine impact on the economic and the social wellbeing of the citizenry. Automatically, it is expected that President Goodluck Jonathan will be unchallenged for the party’s sole slot to re-contest in 2015 while the real test lies with the opposition party - APC to present a candidate that would be acceptable to Nigerians taking into consideration religion, ethnicity, political pedigree and antecedents as key deciding fcators. Quite a number of potential aspirants have made headlines in the dailies as they for the nation’s number one post. Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwanso, are two contenders who have never hidden their intention for the plum job, but how they hope to get the endorsement of their party’s * scenario to watch out in the build up to 2015. Muhammadu Buhari at 71 may no longer be the darling favourite of the teeming populace

safe for his cult-like followership in the northeast and north-central regions that still accords him a veteran status worthy of the position. His albatross would be the Nigeria elites and the younger generation who sees him as a non-marketable candidate. Buhari will need to correct the misconception that he’s a religious fanatic and convince traditional rulers and frontline political leaders in the country that he’s truly a non-rigid progressive as opposed to the military-styled man that reverberates in the older generation’s mind. However, the grand entrant of Abubakar Bukola Saraki, fondly called ABS by his supporters to the scene, has changed the political calculations amongst the APC top shots. Saraki, often regarded as a ‘no nonsense’ Senator whom many have commended for providing a virile opposition to the Federal 7 %~% = the majority rooting for Saraki’s presidency, they opined that his youthfulness and vibrancy will make him the ideal man for the job. He is believed to share a blend of the elitist and the grassroots lifestyle. His youth following comprises majorly of the young generational voice across the country that are fed up with the present status quo. Bukola Saraki, a former special adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo and Kwara State governor for 8 years, chairman Governor’s Forum and now Senator, representing Kwara Central is believed to be armed with a wealth of experience far superior to the incumbent President before taking over from the late

Yar’adua. ƒ # ' was adjudged to have heralded radical and progressive economic and social solutions to the state. He has used his position to challenge the government severally on subsidy payment claims, its ability to deal with oil spills and prosecute the corrupt oil cabals. Bukola Saraki earned the respect of many with his outspokenness; speaking out against injustice, inconsistencies and blatant discrepancies by the ruling party as well as informing the general populace of the proceedings that takes place in the senate while working to ensure that he participates actively in most, if not all of the senate activities of note. Most recently, a youth based socio-political group, New Nigeria Movement (NNM) has lent credence to the existing proposal urging the Senator to enter the race for the 2015 presidential election. The group stated that Senator Saraki remains the bridge between the old and the new generation of politicians. The secretary of the group, Mr. Uche Ogbonna, said ‘’ Saraki is a bridge beÂŹtween the North and the South; he is a bridge between the exÂŹecutive and the legislature; he is a bridge between the private and public sectors and above all, he controls a large politiÂŹcal network that cuts across the country with a generational foundation’’ The permutation among party chieftains and supporters suggests that they are favourably disposed to a joint ticket for Bukola Saraki’s presidency and Obi Ezekwezili as running

mate. “Madam due process’’ as she is fondly called is the co-founder of Transparency International and director of the global anticorruption body based in Germany.

Kingdom as well as the introduction of Opon Imo, the computer devise that the governor provided free-of-charge to senior secondary school students, are parts of the success story that the people will continue to appreciate Aregbesola for even after his second term would have been over. The social needs of the aged in terms of monthly allowances, the care for the destitute, especially the mentallychallenged, are some of the things that made Aregbesola a friend of the common man. Infrastructural development across the state, especially in terms of rehabilitation of roads, has made Aregbesola the friend of transporters, who have joined hundreds of groups that have adopted him as their candidate for the August 9, 2014 gubernatorial election. Not only that, Aregbesola’s administration has also granted the transporters interest-free loans for the purchase of their commercial vehicles in order to enhance their services

through some commercial banks. It is important to remind the daydreamers that in the 2011 general elections, despite the support given to President Goodluck Jonathan by other South West states, including Ekiti, it was only Osun that voted for Nuhu Ribadu.

Combating hunger through family farming Family farming has been canvassed as a remedy for reducing hunger even as the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) report stated that about 30 per cent of Nigerians go to bed without food, adding to an estimated 842 million people worldwide or about 10 per cent of the world’s population who suffer chronic hunger. JOHNMARK UKOKO writes.

O

xygen, water, food, clothing and shelter are man’s most important needs, yet many people lack some of these basic needs. Africans, particularly Nigerians, have

experience hunger as a result of famine, war, insurgency, climate change and lack of access to arable land. Political upheavals in many African countries regularly lead to massive starvation as witnessed in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, Niger Republic, and many others, prompting food donations from friendly countries and kind-hearted people from other parts of the world. To halt the menace of hunger in Nigeria, past regimes had come up with one agricultural programme or another. In the late 1970s, the military government of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo !

secondary school is to equip them with the knowledge and skills that would enable them take up small farming as a means of livelihood. According to him, “Agricultural Science is taught in post-primary schools to train students on skills and knowledge so as to enable them carry out family farming later in life. Those opportune to have a piece of land could cultivate any crop of their choice. Many Nigerians in the cities today are now engaged in small farming near their homes. The teacher disclosed that many Nigerians who are out of jobs are now embracing small scale farming to eke out a living and provide foods for their families. “Many Nigerians are now poultry # R 6 { grow pumpkins and other vegetables, while some rear rabbits, snails, grass # these farmers earn more income than they would in white collar jobs,� he said. An analyst in the agriculture sector, Mr. Hassan Abajigi, told Saturday Newswatch that family farming worldwide is the predominant form of agriculture in the food production sector. Abajigi said that family farming is now the food and job provider of the world, adding that it forms the basis of major agricultural transition in developed countries and the social base of most developing countries, as it supplies foods to the local markets. The analyst listed factors that are key to successful development of family farming as agro-ecological conditions

Minister of Agriculture, Akinwunmi Adesina and territorial characteristics; policy environment through government encouragement and access to market. He also listed obstacles to family farming to include access to technology, lack of access to extension services and * environment, lack of access to market and specialised agricultural education, lack of access to land, among a host of others. ‹ –Q Q cent of Nigerian rural population lives below poverty line compared to 43.1 per cent of the urban population. Family farming, he said, has the potential to nourish the hungry and stimulate the economy as well as protect the environment of areas where it is

encouraged. However, some stakeholders in the agriculture sector are of the view that the Federal Government through its “agricultural transformation agenda� has performed above average, as many Nigerian farmers are now growing crops formerly imported into the country. Some experts are of the view that if Nigeria hopes to achieve its target of reducing hunger and creating employment by 2015, emphasis must be on family farming, since this is linked to world food security and preserves traditional food products, adding that family farming is one sure way of reducing hunger among Nigerians and provide income that could take some people out of the poverty level.

Lagos wins gold at World Pension Summit Abiodun Awogbemi

L

agos State government has won a gold trophy for emerging best of the 36 states in the federation to fully adopt and implement the contributory pension scheme in compliance with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act 2004. The award took place at the banquet hall of Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, during a dinner organized to commemorate the 10th anniversary of establishment of the contributory pension scheme in Nigeria. The award was organized as part of activities for the just concluded World Pension Summit ‘Africa Special’ in Abuja. It would be recalled that the Lagos State government from inception of the scheme in 2004 till date contributed N51.640 billion as monthly deduction of 7.5 per cent from the salaries of every employee and the counterpart 7.5 per cent contribution by the state government into the Retirement Savings Account (RSA) of every

employee with the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs). The state also paid N26.216

prior to commencement of the contributory pension scheme to 4,990 retirees. The World Pension Summit, which was hosted by the National Pension Commission (PenCom), brought together all pension administrators across the world with a view to # countries can best deploy pension funds into risk-free or near risk-free investment outlets, especially on infrastructure and real estate. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was also given an award for establishing the contributory pension scheme in 2004, expressed hope that by 2024 when the CPS would be 20 years, the number of workers in both public and private sectors under the scheme would have quadrupled. He also expressed joy that since inception the scheme has not been associated with fraud.

Other states that received award at the summit include Niger and Delta states, while former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, and the pioneer chairman of the National Pension Commission, Mr. Fola Adeola, were among individuals who received awards for their role in establishment and implementation of the scheme in Nigeria. Topics examined at the World Pension Summit included ‘The Role of Pension in Economic Development’, ‘Africa Regulatory Dialogue’, ‘The New Agenda’, ‘Pension Funds Investment for Infrastructure and Real Estate’, ‘Risk Management and Pension Funds’, Social Security Reform and Technology in Pension’. Others are ‘Strategy Communications and Reputation Management in Pensions Administration’, ‘Role of MultiPillar Pensions’, ‘Pension Administration: The Nigerian Story’ and ‘Realising a Sustainable Pension Strategy’.

T

he Industrial Training Fund (ITF) is a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment saddled with the mandate to train and re-train Nigerian youths, higher institution students and workers alike for industrial competence. The fund was established by Decree No. 47 of October 8, 1971 (now an Act of the National Assembly, amended in 2011) with the mandate to provide, promote, and encourage the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce with a view to generating a pool of indigenous trained # the national economy. Addressing members of Commerce and Industry Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CICAN) recently in Lagos, the ITF Director General/Chief Executive, Dr. (Mrs) Juliet Chukkas-Onaeko, disclosed that all through its over four decades in existence the ITF had worked tirelessly and assiduously to achieve its core mandate of training Nigerians. Chukkas-Onaeko also said that her agency had trained over 10 million Nigerians between 1971 and 2010, adding that the current Federal Government’s “National Transformation Agenda� and the National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) required the agency to be repositioned with emphasis on skills acquisition. The ITF boss said the NIRP, which her agency has the mandate to ensure its success, needs to build up industrial capacity and improve competitiveness in Nigeria. She noted that the NIRP plan requires that the ITF identify industries in which the country has comparative and competitive advantages over other countries. According to her, “the ITF being a skills training organisation, is vested with the primary responsibility of providing technical vocational skills for the NIRP under the National Skills Development Programme (NISDP).� Chukkas-Onaeko added that to stem the tide of unemployment in the country, ITF has trained 35,000 young Nigerian men and women in various states of the federation under the NISDP, who were equipped with skills in various trade areas, including welding and fabrication, Plaster of Paris (POP), autotronics, garment making, poultry, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), cell phone repairs, generator repairs, culinary, rice milling and plumbing. { and dye, furniture making and facility technology, among others, adding that after the training the agency carried out a tracking exercise to ascertain the usefulness of skills acquired by the trainees as well as inculcate in them the spirit of entrepreneurship and cooperative formation. She disclosed that ITF has entered into collaboration with state governments to key into the NISDP, especially in provision

of tools and equipment for trainees in their states, adding that to enable ITF impart specialised skills to Nigerians, the fund has entered into collaboration with several local and international organisations such as bilateral technical cooperation agreement with Brazil. The ITF boss listed the foreign organisations her agency is partnering with to include the National Services for Industrial Apprenticeship (SENAL), Brazil; Institute for Technical Education, Singapore; AHK Germany, and Industry and Commerce Edutech Limited, London. Commenting on the performance of ITF in imparting vocational and technical skills to Nigerians, Director General of Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), Mr. Olusegun Oshinowo, said NECA embraced ITF because of its mandate, which relates to the training of young Nigerians and job creation, adding that the collaboration has been worthwhile. He lamented that the various higher institutions have been unable to impart the technical and relevant skills to young Nigerians, adding that while millions of Nigerian youths are unemployed, many local organisations claimed they were ‘ He disclosed that foreigners were applying for jobs young Nigerians should be doing, adding that the collaboration with ITF has enabled members of NECA to employ well- trained young Nigerians The NECA boss also disclosed that ITF-NECA Technical Skills Development Project (TSDP) was established to train young Nigerians who could work in any +& #* case may be. According to the NECA boss, the Organised Private Sector (OPS) supports ITF in its mandate to train competent young Nigerians for NECA’s member past nine years (2005 to 2013), had trained 2,541 Nigerians in 239 programmes. Stakeholders in the real sector, Mr. Ambrose Njoku, commended the ITF for its new zeal in training and re-training young Nigerians to enable them function properly in the ever changing business environment. Njoku, who is a consultant to many manufacturing companies in the country, stressed that the country had remained under-developed because successive Federal Governments did not promote industrialisation, adding that any country that depends on imported products for domestic consumption will remain poor. He said our universities lacked the capacity to train the young graduates they churned out on yearly basis, on the latest skills to enable them function in any economy. The consultant said Japan, Germany, China, Singapore and other industrialised countries accorded vocational and technical education the rightful place

It would also be recalled that many manufacturing companies have relocated outside the country in the past 15 years due to harsh business climate. Saturday Newswatch notes that some of the problems local manufacturers complain about include poor power supply, multiple taxation, government’s inconsistent policy, dumping of substandard products in the country and poor purchasing power of many Nigerians. Other problems manufacturers always complain about include high interest rate on borrowed funds from commercial banks, unfair competition with products from Asia, massive smuggling of substandard products into the country, high cost of doing business, high cost of diesel to power generators, lack of social infrastructure in the country and a host of other challenges. The country’s manufacturing sector was the second highest employer of labour next only to the agricultural sector in the –^ Q^ just few employments to Nigerians. It is on record that in the early 60s and late 80s Nigeria’s manufacturing companies produced goods for most African countries.

Business Interview

Lagos pension contributory scheme best in Nigeria – LASPEC DG Welfare of employees has for some years taken the center stage in factors of production, as both employers and employees are now seeking a soft-landing after many years of meritorious service. The Director General of Lagos State Pension Commission, Mr. Rotimi Adekunle Hussain, said in this interview with our correspondent, ABIODUN AWOGBEMI, that the Federal Government’s review of Pension Law and the existing pension law of Lagos State have upgraded employers and employees contributions. Excerpts:

H

ow would you assess the new Federal Government’s contributory pension scheme? It is a new law that tries to upgrade both the employers and employees contributions. The employees are to contribute eight per cent instead of seven and a half per cent, while the employer contributes 10 per cent instead of seven and a half per cent, which brings it all to 18 per cent instead of the former 15 per cent. As for us in Lagos, we are still studying the new contribution system to see if the state can # its workforce, because the state is poised to make sure no retiree lives in penury after long years of service. If there is any need to amend our own scheme, we will do so as long as it is best for the workforce. Each state under the pension law is empowered to adopt a pension contributory scheme it feels is best for its employees. But as at today, Lagos pension contributory scheme is the best and easiest so far in the country, because it is devoid of any corrupt practices and rancor that trails the former scheme. There is no gainsaying that the height # scheme is unprecedented, unrivalled and unequalled throughout the country as 3 * others are trying to emulate when it comes to administration of contributory pension scheme. Are the ministries, departments and ! To a large extent many of them do comply. We have been operating the new contributory scheme since 2007, while the scheme itself started in 2004. So, Lagos has operated the pension scheme for 10 years, although there are areas that needed to

The commission in collaboration with the state’s approved pension fund administrators (PFAs) and insurance companies usually hold a bi-annually pre-retirement seminar for workers retiring from the Lagos public service six months before the retirement date. The pre-retirement seminar is aimed at creating adequate awareness and enlightenment for employees on the need to fully come to terms with the realities and provisions of the contributory pension scheme as provided in the Lagos State Pension Reform Law 2007, and to further

broaden their knowledge on how best to prepare for retirement and access the The pre-retirement seminar is also aimed at assisting the retiring employees to adequately understand how to access them for physical, emotional, and U #

# # to build a comfortable and rewarding life in withdrawal options. Also, the seminar explains the procedures # # how to monitor and ensure their retirement savings account is up-to-date with payment of the statutory monthly contributions and also highlight the two exit options of programmed withdrawal provided by the PFAs and the annuity for life provided by the insurance companies. What are the main features of the Lagos State contributory pension scheme? In the Lagos State pension contributory scheme, the state government/local government also makes the same seven and a half per cent monthly contributions into the retirement savings account opened with a pension fund administrator. When the employee eventually retires, and have been in active service before April 2007, you are entitled to receive a

What are the two exit options you metioned? The Lagos State Pension Reform Law

2007 allows a retiree to choose between two options of the programmed module of the pension fund administrator or life annuity for a licensed company for receipt of monthly pension. The life annuity is a regular income payment either monthly or quarterly made to the retiree for the rest of his/her life in return for payment of the purchase money of lump sum premium. Life annuities provided by insurance companies are paid for life and guaranteed for 10 years. On the other hand, a programmed withdrawal module is a product of the PFAs.

Maigari’s board must render account – Oduah Victor Enyinnaya

A

former member of the Nigeria Football Association, Prince Isidore Oduah, has insisted that NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari and his board must render account to Nigerians on their tenure so far. In a message to the Minister of Sports, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, he said the time has come for the country to stand up and

streamline her policy on sports by ensuring only administrators with passion and interest of the sports of their choice must be given the nod to manage it in order to avoid the continuous embarrassment and harassment by international sporting bodies like FIFA. He made the suggestion during a telephone conversation from Awka, Anambra State that due to what many of them have seen as the lucrative nature of being in the federation threw administrative procedures to the wind

at the end of day they brought much corruption, unaccountability and 6 football governance in the country. “I maintain that there must be an enduring good measure of credibility in the governance of the game in the land. We must start witnessing a radical departure from what has become the status quo in the country’s football administration. “The Aminu Maigari led board is corrupt, he may not be, but there are two topmost bad managers of

men, money and material he relied heavily upon in the day to day administration of the body that cast bad image for him. The board over stayed its welcome and should be eased out at the election,� he said. Oduah recalled how Maigari ascended to head the Federation and # him is merited. He also recalled that he stabbed Sani Lulu at the back. He paid for his ‘sins’ I believe in the saying that “he who kills by the sword must die by the sword� In all honestly, the way and

manner Maigari led the board was absurd. The way he handled the huge World Cup cash released by the Federal government remains a black spot and stain, he must face the consequences. “The corruption was monumental. Think of the players’ bonus row that dragged the country’s name to the mud internationally. Think of the large contingent he ferried to Brazil all in the bid to curry sympathy for his

The former Green Eagles midfielder, who doubles as spokesman of the group, said the mini-convention will afford delegates the opportunity to fashion out ways to help shape the future of Nigerian football as well as impact on the lives of ex-international who are not doing well after long retiring from playing for Nigeria. “It is important to note that our objectives are the driving force for our mini convention. Our adopted objectives are: to promote the

development of football in Nigeria, to look after the welfare of former national team players, to serve as ambassadors of football and to be a voice for Nigerian footballers in Nigeria and in the Diaspora. “We want to use this convention to move our organization forward in developing strategies for successful implementation of our goals and objectives for the good of Nigerian Football,� added Okoku, Event coordinator, Nathaniel Ogedegbe, said Francis Moniedafe will be the host of the day.

The board contributed to our early exit from the World Cup due to the way they handled issues. “FIFA ought not to condone the issue of corruption against the board which has been clearly established. Then what are we talking about? NFF big wigs washed their dirty linens in the public. Time has come for us to put our football house in order. No more cosmetic, it’s now or never,� he insists.

irector General of the National Sports Commission, Honourable Gbenga Elegbeleye, disclosed recently that the NSC’s ambition is for Nigeria to surpass their achievement at the last edition of the Commonwealth Games. Speaking in Abuja, Elegbeleye said, “For the 2014 Commonwealth Games, I am not going to say we will win a particular number of medals. “But all I will say is that while we won 11 gold medals at New Delhi, India in 2010, we won’t go below that or just achieve same this time around. Rather, we want to surpass that in Glasgow. “Our target is to go beyond what we won in New Delhi. That is success. We must improve on our previous performance and not be on the same level or go below,� he said.

Elegbeleye maintained that NSC is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for this month’s 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games as an advanced party left the shores of the country at the weekend to commence full preparations to receive the Nigerian contingent popularly called Team Nigeria for participation in this year’s edition.

We are married to other people, but in love with each other

I

am a married man, in love with another woman, who is also married. We are in * Strangely enough, there is no pain. We are each other’s best friend and see each other every day. Occasionally, we sneak off to a hotel. We still love our partners and because of this and the children from our marriages, we have agreed to keep our relationship discreet. There is occasionally a pang of jealousy, but that } # negative effects – so far. We are looking forward to going on a holiday with both families around Christmas – we will of course be in friend mode. Does this translate to infidelity? Akin, Lagos

Two weeks later, he told me that he was engaged to someone else. Since then, I have been ignoring this man, and have recently deleted # ƒ currently living with this woman and his two children.

Angela, Rumuola - PH Angela, It is a pity you’ve been played by this ‘man of your dreams,’ but there is only one thing to do - move on. You would be forced to think that there won’t be another love after this relationship. This feels like your only chance at the kind of love that everyone dreams about. You would find a happy, fulfilling and loving relationship. Focus on the fact that in the future, you will have a loving relationship where your needs will be met.

Akin, For starters, if you are in love with this woman, you sneak off to be alone with her and you feel jealous over her; then she’s more than just a friend - and since you are (both) married, then you are being unfaithful to your spouses. If you are planning or are at risk of having a long term affair, it works best if your potential affair- partner has as much to lose as you do. Affairs occur because someone’s needs in a relationship are not being met. Find out what you see in this woman and what is lacking in your marriage, then work towards injecting it into your marriage. The truth is that what you feel for this new lady isn’t love. You are just seeking a new experience. Work on renewing your marriage with your wife and safeguard your home so that you don’t wake up one day and realise that you have lost out at both ends.

NURTW, police, others killing transport sector Commercial transportation has become a nightmare for operators due to many impediments bedeviling the sector. These impediments have also restrained many corporate groups and private people from investing in the sector. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI writes.

T

ransportation is a branch of commerce, an aspect of trade with branches in land/road, sea, and air problems and constraints. One of the major constraints militating against commercial transportation in Nigeria is the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN). Also, the police and state transport agency, including the vehicle $>U{/ impediments that always lead to the collapse of investors’ money in the sector. The above bodies control commercial transportation in Nigeria and have combined to become the monster that running of commercial transportation in the country. The NURTW has at various times claimed that it derived its functions and actions from its registration and an Act of Parliament during President Shehu Shagari’s National Party of Nigeria (NPN) government in the Second Republic. But the question is: does the Act stipulate the gangsterism and brigandage members of the union often manifest in carrying out their business? According to Tayo Ogunbiyi of the

ignoring the street urchin called agbero. “The face of the conductor became swollen, with blood gushing out from his mouth. From God knows where, a tall, hefty and equally vicious looking man appeared on the scene. With his arrival, the atmosphere became more rowdy as shouts of ‘Up chair; baba o, owo meji feeyan kan’ (two hands # / # 6 * voiced agbero and his folks rent the air. Eventually, the hefty man gave * 6 while the driver and the bus were to be # # the passengers in the bus, they were left on their own and anybody that dared question them would receive the same treatment as the conductor.� The above scenario aptly describes the activities of the union’s fees/dues collectors all over the country under the watchful eye of the police and other state security agencies. According to an analyst who reacted to reasons why the government cannot take a proactive measure in curbing activities of these groups, “governments across the country are not unaware of the infamous activities of agberos. U governments have had to proscribe the various bodies they represent.� Another analyst contends that it may be impossible for any democratic government to proscribe or condemn the unions’ activities, because all the political parties enjoy their patronage, as well as seek their support to win elections, especially in this era of the politics of ‘capturing states’. The agberos, who are foot soldiers # ? tolls from bus conductors and drivers and beat up any uncompromising ones among them. Most of the drivers and conductors are not in any way members of the union which, according to a driver,“90 per cent or more of drivers

Although the that its members collect any fee, but the reality is that the police collect fees 3 The OPS Messa, RRS, and other police units visit all motorcycle and motor parks at intervals to collect the fees every morning, afternoon and evening on daily basis. Any park that refuses to respond quickly would be maltreated and branded as illegal parks, while members would be arrested and sometimes tagged armed robbers. Not unusual though, it was also alleged that the police leadership are among the leading sponsors of the agberos. Continued on Page 66

Mr Ogunbiyi while corroborating the complicity of the security agencies stated: “The partisanship of the law enforcement agencies had always been a serious issue in tackling the menace of agberos in our society, it has indeed been alleged that the leadership of the police is the leading sponsors of agberos in the country.� The public also point at government’s lack of political will as being responsible for the relentless reprehensible acts of violence by the groups. Activities of the various security agencies in the state have also become a clog in the wheel of progress for commercial transportation in the country. Mr Reuben Ayobami told Saturday Newswatch that some of the agencies perform overlapping functions; some of them do not know their areas of jurisdiction. For example, what are the duties of the Federal Road Safety & $=‹R&/ 3 R " Management Agency (LASTMA), > U { $>U{/ sometimes at the same spot checking vehicles?

At every bus stop in Lagos commercial bus drivers pay certain amount of money to an agbero warden, failure to pay leads to arrest on trump-up charges. The menace of agberos/touts and security agencies such as the Police, ‹‹R {% >U{ =‹R& management agencies, has dissuaded lots of decent people from investing in commercial transport business.

" 6 Mr Tayo Ogunbiyi advised that government at various levels need to 6 of agberos in the country. They need to evolve tough policies in order to ensure that no group or individual in the society continues to act above the law.

A commercial driver, Sunday Adio, said if the union was created by an Act of Parliament then the National Assembly can review its activities and bring succor to the various cries of innocent Nigerians who are daily being terrorized by the unions’ members. According to Adio, everybody should be free to associate with any union he/she wants and not forced to pay fees under duress to any association, while the union should evolve another way of collecting its dues instead of constituting themselves into a nuisance on the roads, as not all the drivers are interested in being members of their association. And all activities of the union should be limited to its members. ƒ group as political thugs to win elections them to order after the election had been won.

ith the improved patronage, Nigeria telecommunications sector has witnessed tremendous achievements. Prior to the award of new licences to telecommunication operators by the democratic government; the licences that were issued to companies by the military administration were revoked. The licensing process for the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) was cancelled early in 2000 and the Federal Government reopened the process of issuing four mobile cellular licences in December 2000, after soliciting credible bidders. The four winners that emerged out of the process agreed to pay $285 million as licence fees each but Econet Wireless Nigeria and Mobile Telephone Networks (MTN) Communications Nigeria were able to pay the fees within the mandatory 14-day period. ƒ & Investments Nigeria Limited (CIL) failed to make the deposit into the bank account of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), thereby forfeiting its licence and it was also barred from participating in NCCorganised auctions for a period of five years. The new GSM licences, which were awarded for a period of five years, were renewable, and all operators operated on the 900Mhz and 1800Mhz spectrum bands. Definite targets were set for the GSM operators in terms of network rollout and they were instructed to connect a minimum of 100,000 subscribers each within their first year of operations. Each of the telecom companies was also asked to connect 1.5 million subscribers in five years, while attaining a minimum of fiveper-cent geographical coverage in each of the country’s six geopolitical states. Interestingly, the country’s telecom operators have been able to connect over 177 million subscribers, of which more than 129 million of them are active users of the networks. Mr Titi Omo-Ettu, the Managing Partner of Telecom Answers Associates, said virtually all the perceptible achievements in the telecom industry were achieved during the democratic era. According to Omo-Ettu, the ground work for the growth of the telecommunications sector in Nigeria had actually been done before the country’s return to democracy in 1999.`The licences for mobile telecom were issued in 2000 which means democracy has actually brought development to the industry.

The country’s gross solar potential is estimated at 5kWh/m2 daily, which corresponds to 50 times national electricity generation. Currently, there is over 1 million square meters of solar thermal panels installed in Mexico, while in 2005; there were 115,000 square meters of solar PV (photo-voltaic). It is expected that in 2012 there will be 1,8 million square meters of installed solar thermal panels. The project named SEGH-CFE 1, located in Puerto Libertad, Sonora, Northwest of Mexico, will have capacity of 46.8 MW from an array of 187,200 solar panels when complete in 2013.

Market Overview Mexico is the third largest trading partner of the United States, and represents the second largest export market of U.S. products and services. Since its enactment in 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) bolstered the strong manufacturing industries on both sides of the border, facilitating an active exchange in parts and components along supply chains for various sectors, including: automotive, aerospace, consumer appliances, electronics, and medical devices. The NAFTA is largely responsible for an increase in U.S.-Mexico bilateral trade, which went from $88 billion in 1993 to $460 billion in 2011.

Proximity to the United States, combined with advances in access to information technology, has created an open and welcoming market for U.S. products and services. The U.S. Commercial R # U.S. companies, to help learn about the industry in Mexico, identify Mexican business partners. The old saying of ‘never confuse geographic proximity with cultural proximity’ was probably never more true than when trying to compare Mexico with it’s larger neighbour, the United States. More than a border separates the two countries and although the economic importance of the USA to Mexico cannot be overstated (80% of Mexican exports are bound for the USA), Mexico is a country unique unto itself with a very distinct approach and business outlook. The business relationship between Nigeria and Mexico, apart from the one on one basis, is rooted in a body referred to as MINT, which is a neologism referring to the economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey. Nigeria and Mexico had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation on

Onemola said the agreement would, among other issues, address political and economic cooperation between both countries. He said it would also standardise and formalise trade relations between the two nations, noting that Nigeria’s export of hides and skin to Mexico was informal. Onemola said the MoU would further strengthen bilateral relations and other partnership between both countries. Responding, Blanco said Mexico had an investment partnership in

agro-industrial production with Rivers and Enugu states worth $54 million. According to him, an estimated 7,500 jobs would be created from the investment.

However, this does not mean that instructions can be given to subordinates with no concern being shown for their well-developed sense of honour. A good manager combines an authoritative approach with a concern for the well-being and dignity of employees. Managers should be authoritative but never authoritarian.

To be openly criticized in public results in a loss of self-esteem and personal dignity.

It showed that women are still being treated as second class citizens,� she said. She added: “The unfortunate incident, involving one Mrs. Rasheedat Oyelowo Abdulmajeed started when the policeman, who a commercial bus, asked her to sit up so he could rest his hands on her back seat and put down his head. She told him she couldn’t as she was heavily pregnant, and needed to rest her back. This response did not go down well with the policeman who responded by pulling her scarf (Hijab) from the back, and slapping her. He ordered the bus to stop, came down and asked everyone to come down, so he could further assault the woman. Other passengers condemned his action, and asked the driver to move, but the policeman wouldn’t allow the bus to go. Instead he beckoned on another ] " refused.� Condemning the alleged action of the policeman, Josephine said “these acts of lawlessness by policemen in uniform cannot, and should not be allowed to continue. Two months ago, a similar incident occurred in Lagos when a policeman was caught in a video beating up a food seller. 3 # of violence (domestic and nondomestic) who go to the Police to report do not get the appropriate response they deserve. How can the Police protect women, when they are the very persons abusing them? She asked rhetorically. “We therefore call on the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police to investigate and call Arthur Okeke to order. He should be punished for his unprofessional conduct and assault, to serve as a deterrent to others,� she said.

I’ll reorder policies of Bauchi – Guber aspirant Barrister Mohammed Abubakar contested the Bauchi South Senatorial election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but later dumped the party for All Progressives Congress (APC). In this interview with NANKPAH BWAKAN, Abubakar explains why he left the PDP. Excerpts:

D

uring the last general elections, you contested for Bauchi South senatorial seat, what are your plans in 2015? Calls have continued to urge me to contest the governorship of the state this time and I’m slowly heeding the call of the people because it is very dangerous when the people call on you to come and serve and you refuse. There will come a time when you will want to come to the people and they will reject you. It is for this reason that I’m prepared to heed to their call. I have thrown my hart into the ring.

# " of challenges from APC and PDP because there are other people interested in the of# � challenge? That is the beauty of democracy and in fact, I’m extremely happy for the APC, for Nigeria and the good people of Bauchi State that many people are aspiring to govern them and that shows that the APC is a strong platform of the people. Therefore, I’m not afraid because it is God Almighty that gives power to whom he wishes at the time He wishes. The governor of Bauchi state has already been picked by God and we human beings are just going through a process. There is nothing to be afraid of and we will go and aspire and abide by all the rules and vision of the APC. What programme and policies do you have for the state if eventually elected? Bauchi state is by nature an agricultural state and is a good portion of that the state with about eighty percent of us are # " # thing to do is to address the issue of Agriculture and the moment is done, it will a mul ’ can use Agriculture to tackle the problem of youth employment because you see we are naturally and traditionally we are all farmers. It is only during the dry season that we used to migrate to other places in search for means of livelihood. Like what is now happening in the Eastern part of Nigeria, Northerners in their

number were arrested with allegation of being Boko Haram members. This is unfortunate because over the time people have left Agriculture that why the over 400 people arrested in Abia State have no reason being in the state as far as I am concerned because this is not dry season, for God’s sake, unless our youth have diverted. So, if we address agriculture as far as youth empowerment is concern. After that you have to tackle the issue of women; hence, women and youth the bedrock of the society as well as politics which is why politicians used them as stepping stones and when they there they forget about them. I’m not going to do that but I will make sure I address their problems. Your party has consistently accused Governor Isa Yuguda of under development, do you also share that view? Yes I did. Because is obvious and if you take a trip to Gombe state now, you will notice that there is a government in Gombe and that government are working. Look at the roads construction either completed, on-going but show the road that has been constructed here in Bauchi state in eight years of this present administration. Yuguda goes to Abuja alongside with Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo of Gombe at the end of every month and they collect federation allocation due for the state and what Dankwambo collects Yuguda collect double at least and then they come back with it and if nothing is being that money I think the question should be place at the door steps of Governor Yuguda. For instance, when you go to Billiri, Bajoga and Kaltungo you will be impressed with the level of progress recorded by Dankwambo’s administration. Politicians are in the habit of dumping when their goals are not realise in a particular party and you were one of � $ lost your senatorial ambition you dumped and you are now in APC, what made to joined APC? The APC is the party of the

Abubakar people and I’m a man of the people. PDP was just platform and I don’t believe in the policies and principles of the PDP. If I had been elected Senator under the platform of the party I would have persuaded my own policies and principles and my policies and programme are pro-people not anti-people like that of the PDP. If you notice from the beginning of this dispensation to date the strongest opposition before the advent of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and now APC was within the PDP itself and I can tell that

I will have to seat down and analysis state. That was what Dankwambo did in Gombe. He

as Yuguda inherited

at Dankwambo’s he brought his knowledge and was able to re-order his priorities and

inherited debt and same time

the biggest critics of PDP are PDP members because there are a lot of people who used %~% # # Nigerians. How will you convince people of Bauchi state that after realising your ambition you will not dump APC for PDP? I have told my people at many occasions that if progressive tendencies are inherited then I have inherited them. This is because two of my Uncles were very close friends and aides of Mallam Aminu Kano, the other One Alhaji Idi Abubakar he even contested for governorship of Plateau state under PRP and Alhaji Adamu Garkowa and these are people everybody knew with Mallam Aminu Kano. So I knew Mallam Aminu Kano even before I starts primary school because whenever he comes to Jos my Uncle will asked us to take food to him. He will make us to eat part of the food and he will lecture us as young as we were. So, if people inherit progressive tendencies then I have inherited, so I have come home to roost. How can you bring to bear the inherited progressive tendencies in the running of " " elected? That is why I’m here and I’m heeding the calls of the people of Bauchi state to aspire to govern the state. Only God knows the amount of money the state owes and that will be the starting point because I will have to seat down and # state. That was what Dankwambo did in Gombe. He inherited much debt as Yuguda inherited in Bauchi and look at Dankwambo’s resources is half of our own because he brought his knowledge and education to bear he was able to re-order his priority and discussed with # paying the inherited debt and work for the people of the state at the same time.

PDP should expunge zoning – Party chieftain Bassey Anthony, Uyo

P

ioneer Minister of Environment under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Ime Okopido, has suggested to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the need to remove the provision for zoning from its constitution, noting that such an exercise would allow for even playing-ground and subsequent emergence of the best candidate for the job. Fielding questions from Saturday Newswatch, the PDP stalwart in Akwa Ibom State boasted that he single-handedly marketed the party to its present level of acceptability in the state. He said: “I want to quickly say that I brought this party to this state single-handedly in 1998 and from that point of view can make some statements on the issue of zoning. <Â’ # the country and we have all been told that any law that is not in consonance with the constitution of any country is not a law. And I think the constitution of Nigeria guarantees freedom of association, participation, thoughts; even at the United Nations where Nigeria is a member, you have that freedom; nobody is to be caged. “Government is to be built on human kind and to that extent you cannot impose, because these are issues of apartheid that people say should not be in the law. So, if the party, due to some circumstances made a mistake by recommending zoning in 1999, then you will realise that it would not be proper for you to talk about zoning in most Â’ op, and we are growing. “So, you cannot limit the best that you can bring out to rule, Â’ U next compound belongs to the late Ebong Okon.

Amana was also looking for the same thing; and the three of us are living on the same street. Even though I did not really live in this house then, we were able to relate here without any fear whatsoever. “It was an issue of selling your best, who had the best manifesto and what you want to do for Akwa Ibom.

Politics

Ekiti poll: Fayose ‘stole’ Fayemi’s victory – Aregbesola’s aide Senator Olusola Adeyeye is the directorgeneral of Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s Re-election Campaign Committee. He recently appeared at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Correspondents’ Chapel (Osun State chapter) programme tagged, ‘Newspoint,’ where he Aregbesola’s campaign, violence in politics, lessons from the Ekiti poll and other sundry issues. MICHAEL OLANREWAJU the excerpts:

B

efore now Governor Aregbesola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State had always referred to the August 9 poll as a walk-over for him. Now, he has stepped up his campaign. Could this Â&#x; " " Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won? Most human beings, including politicians speak in hyperbole. So, when Aregbesola said he was going to sleep if Omisore emerged the PDP candidate, he was not being literal

6 is, you cannot go to sleep. Even with your eyes open, in Nigeria, your mandate can be stolen, much less when you go to sleep. In the very recent history of Osun, Aregbesola can never forget that by 2007 he was equally loved by the people, but the apparatus of federal might was used to supplant his mandate and he restored. To me, Aregbesola cannot allow history to repeat itself. I was not allowed to vote in 2007. Therefore, as director general of this campaign, I must make sure that never again would anyone be deprived the right of casting his or her vote for whoever he or she wants, even if it is for our opponent. So, that is why we are going round educating the people not to sell their votes for a pot of porridge and not be like Esau of the Bible who because of hunger sold his birthright. We know without a shadow of doubt that of all the major characters in the PDP, the weakest that could have been nominated to face Governor Aregbesola is indeed Omisore. You must not forget that less than four years ago we had an election in which former Governors Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Isiaka Adeleke, and Senator Omisore contested for the Senate. Of them all, Adeleke performed best; he won in two local governments, and the second was Oyinlola, who did not win his local government, because I won in Odo Otin. At least, Oyinlola won in his own ward. Of the three, only one candidate could not win his local government and ward, but he narrowly won at his polling booth. It was in his constituency throughout Osun State that

we had violence in 2011. Despite the threats and intimidation, our youngest candidate for the Senate, Babajide Omoworare, trounced Omisore mercilessly and I have no doubt that in the coming election Omisore will meet his waterloo. Aregbesola, who often preaches peace and harmony, seems to have resorted to selfhelp by grooming some violent young men known in Osun as “State Boys� ahead of the election. At any public function and campaign he always recognises them. What is your take on this? Unemployment is raging all over Nigeria now; you know that we have no choice but # # many of these young unemployed youths. Part # {X+R where people are brought in and paid some stipends and also trained to have a means of livelihood and stand on their own without permanently looking for government job. The truth is that all over Nigeria, governments are broke, only few states can say they have buoyant economy. A newspaper reported yesterday that in Benue State teachers have not been paid for eight months and this scenario exists in many states in Nigeria. But, because we are { been focused on us as if we are the only state that is late in paying workers’ salaries. The truth is that the ‘Area Boys’ that nag Lagos, thanks to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, many of them were recruited into Lagos State Transport Management Authority (LATSMA) and parking agents. The scourge of ‘Area Boys’ in Lagos has now reduced. It is unfortunate that Osun State does not have one-tenth of the resources of Lagos. If Osun has the same resources as Lagos, by now those people you are calling ‘State Boys’ would have been creatively deployed into various areas of endeavours. In the meantime, they are just essentially being used as community patrol to prevent crime. But, you should know that because of their background many of them can get very overzealous. Some of us have complained about what we saw in some places, but upon investigation we found %~% %& # 6 our people. It was these ‘State Boys’ who ran to the place and rescued the situation before the police came. Having said that, I want to add that once violence starts, it’s like cancer, it spreads, which is why every serious government does everything to make sure it does not start within its domain. Aregbesola has that commitment. I assure you that anyone who breaks the law, whether ‘State Boys,’ federal boys or local government boys, would pay for whatever crime they commit. What is sad is that if somebody commits a crime now and if that person is a PDP supporter, the PDP government at the centre which controls the police, use the apparatus of incumbency to make sure such people are not brought to justice. But, the Almighty God stands for justice. I want to assure you that we would not condone any form of violence from anybody even from our own party. The Aregbesola that I know will not condone violence from anybody. Why does the APC mobilise its supporters and members from many local governments to a particular community or town where campaign would take place, instead of allowing the real population of supporters and people in that community to come so that ! When we have mega rallies, it is a celebration of our strength. It is a demonstration of your capacity or a way of saying let’s come together and examine issues. When you bring a man from Ila to Iwo, he can see whether Iwo has # In any case, no politician would change a

Adeyeye

formula that works well for him. The concept of mega rallies was used when Aregbesola ran his campaigns in 2007. We had many rallies, but we had nine special rallies at the headquarters of federal constituencies. It is only to those rallies that we brought people from everywhere so that together we can see the party’s strength in our state. Anyone in Ikirun last week would know that if everybody at that rally votes for Aregbesola, we will win the election. There is no question about that; it is that kind of capacity we are demonstrating. Only a few days ago, we saw that the PDP had a walk through Osogbo, I just imagine if it were any of our House of Representatives member you will see the kind of crowd we would get. If we ask Aregbesola to walk through Osogbo today from Abere all the way to Ajegunle, the crowd would be awesome. We want to show them that our party is loved in this state. We own this state because what we have done is being appreciated by the people. That’s why we have mega rallies. It is a formula we have used in the past and you don’t change what works for you.

‘State Boys’ would have been creatively deployed into various areas of endeavours. In the meantime, they are just essentially being used as community patrol to prevent crime. But, you should know that because of their background many of them can get very overzealous. Some of us have complained about what we saw in some places, but upon investigation we found that PDP people wore APC uniforms to attack our people

What has your party learned from the elec " ¢£ year when your governorship candidate, Dr. ž " ¤ bearer, Mr. Ayo Fayose? Honestly, I have been reading reports about what happened in Ekiti. First, I am glad that few days ago The Guardian wrote a fantastic piece on Fayemi’s performance. Almost in every newspaper you get rising commendation for Kayode Fayemi. Everybody says he did well. If that is the case, we have only two conclusions, either the election was stolen or we don’t know the mechanism of thievery yet, but God is eternal, there is no secret He U revelation would not take long to come out, because they’re carrying out investigation now. There was some stealing we are yet to +6 If so, I guarantee it would not take six months for them to come to the realisation that they made a mistake. This is because Ekiti people are learned, intelligent and the chicken will always come home to roost. If they chose a

would sleep on the bed they had laid. Let’s just watch. I don’t believe what happened in Ekiti would be repeated in Osun. Let me tell you the reason. Let’s cast our minds back to three years ago when we had the 2011 election. When we held the presidential election, it was not an election, we were under a spell. We had a man who could only claim he was a lucky man and ? have the capacity to hold the Presidency and deliver the goods that Nigerians needed. On the contrary, let us say we have another man that when he was in charge of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he had the capacity to take on the cankerworm that paralysed Nigeria. Only one state out of 36 in Nigeria was wise enough to know that choosing Jonathan was a tragedy and you have seen what he has done in the last three years. # �

# Ă? Ă? # Ă? # Ă? { Z^__ even if Adamawa, Yobe, and Borno would not vote for their own son, Osun is wise enough to know that they can make the right choice. Osun demonstrated that even if Lagos could make the wrong choice, it would make the right choice. Osun is unique because we have articulate and good leadership. That is why we # God, Osun people would make the best choice on August 9, if there is free and fair election.

We both started eating out separately, and she got someone to wash her clothes and the baby’s clothes too. On one occasion, a good friend of ours came over with his family, and it was weekend.

Special Report

Darkness as Nigeria’s constant companion Johnmark Ukoko

N

igeria is a country that could be said to be in perpetual darkness since the middle of the 90s when the then National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) became reputed for poor service delivery, leading to many Nigerians referring to it as ‘Never Expect Power Always.’ The inability of the defunct NEPA to deliver on its mandate of generating and distributing stable power to Nigerians, compelled former President Olusegun Obasanjo to change the body’s name to Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN). The government’s action turned out to be a mere change in name as PHCN’s services were those of its predecessor. The failure of PHCN to provide stable power to Nigerians made some people to refer to the organisation as ‘Please Hold Candle Now.’ PHCN promised Nigerians improved power supply, but delivered darkness to them. However, one area NEPA or PHCN excelled is in the billing of Nigerians for power not supplied, and the sending of Nigerians from public power supply. Various promised dates of stable power supply given to Nigerians since 1999 were never met; instead fresh dates

are always given to Nigerians as to when the organisation hopes to provide stable supply. The failure of PHCN and massive corruption in the country’s power sector among other reasons compelled the government of President Goodluck Jonathan to unbundle PHCN and created three sub-sectors out of the power sector, namely, generation, transmission and distribution. In the process, 24 private investors bought PHCN over and formed the generation companies (GENCOs), distribution companies (DISCOs) and transmission companies. The three sectors were expected to generate, transmits and distribute electricity to Nigerians.

Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch said the performance of the 24 private companies have been unimpressive. A respondent Mr. Anayo Uche, during an interview with Saturday Newswatch said the performance of the DISCOs, GENCOs and the transmission companies have been poor. According to him, “when government announced %ƒ& the private sector, we were all celebrating. Nine months after, it appears our celebration was premature as darkness has become the order of the day; the private investors have not delivered on their promises. Many Nigerians have even called for the return of the defunct PHCN to tell you how

Prof. Nebo

bad things have become.� Saturday Newswatch noted that many Nigerians have gone to the streets, protesting the high bills the DISCOs have been giving out to Nigerians on monthly basis. The prepaid, post-paid and estimated customers are all wailing over the crazy bills and } * customers are made to pay on monthly basis. Yet, they are not supplying stable power. From Kano State to Adamawa State; Edo State to Oyo State; and Delta to Enugu states, for instance, it has been one protest after the other against the DISCOs. " from the defunct PHCN, are Nigerians from public power supply, which unfortunately is never there. Those who chose to voice their grievances through protests have on several occasions appealed to the government to return the power sector to the defunct PHCN. Their painful calls arose from the fact that while they are in darkness, the DISCOs still go on to send them crazy bills monthly. " 6 for the helpless Nigerians, the government and the power sector regulatory agency, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), are always quick to absolve Continued on page 66

the GENCOs and DISCOs of blames over the everfrustrating power situation in the country. The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, and the chairman of NERC, Ambassador Sam Amadi, are always in a hurry to come to the defence of the private put the blame for poor power supply on the doorstep of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, alleging its inability to supply gas to power the turbines. Another reason given by the power minister for the low power supply is the problem of vandalism of power plants and other sundry reasons. Besides, Amadi would say the ever-increasing amount Nigerians pay for power is as a result of the clause in the agreement NERC had with the Z[ # which states that it would be June 1, of every year. Saturday Newswatch investigation showed that the past nine months of their operations. A former Minister of Power who spoke to Saturday Newswatch said going by the there would be no end to the problem of poor power supply in the country. His word: “I can assure you that Nigeria will continue to grapple with poor power situation in the next 20 years. They will continue to give Nigerians one excuse after the other on why they are unable to generate and distribute stable power. It is sad the minister of power and the NERC boss are always absolving themselves of blames.� Saturday Newswatch’s government in the past 15 years, has invested over $25 billion and some other billions of naira in the sector, yet the country still generates less than [ ^^^ # The government had assured Nigerians that it would deliver Z^ ^^^ # by the end of 2015. While South Africa, with a third of Nigeria’s population (50 millions) currently generates [| ^^^ which is said to have about 160 million people, generates ] [ ^^^ The two nations are the biggest economies in Africa. Many experts who spoke to Saturday Newswatch wondered how a country that drives its economy on generating sets, could be said to be the fastest growing economy in Africa and one of the best in the world. It will be recalled that Nigeria recently rebased its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which indicates that it has the largest economy in Africa and stands 26th in the world.

I was consulting for Ghana High Commission, and we had issues way back in 2008 when some Ghanaians started feeling bad about Nigerian businesses killing their own businesses in Ghana. Though we tried to cover up the protest by managing the publicity, some young Ghanaians started maiming Nigerians in Ghana. We began to look for solution, and I suggested the need to bring together women parliamentarians from Nigeria and Ghana under one platform to restore peace. That conference held in 2009 in Accra, and at the end, the * U on me that there was need for more platforms for women to come together to move Africa forward because I believe so much in the ability of women.

he National Conference has more or less come to an end. Though the delegates will meet again early in August to adopt the Report, it is clear that not much will change from the recommendations they have made, as already and fully reported in the media. Though the Conference has made a lot of recommendations in its four months sitting, and after over N7 billion of our national income has been expended, it is a pity that the forum seems to have failed to resolve the key problems confronting Nigeria as a nation. Yes, they have recommended additional states for the country, autonomy for the local governments, scrapping of the states’ electoral commissions, adjustment of the immunity clause, introduction of state Police and many others. Yet these, as good as they are, and for which we commend the delegates, are not the real issues bothering our nation, which necessitated the convening of the National Conference. Since the political crisis of 1993, Nigerians have clamored for a National Conference - sovereign or not - not just because they wanted more states or have the immunity clause expunged from the constitution. They have desired the re-organisation of this destabilised Federation to restore its stability, period! A painstaking review of the political history of Nigeria will come up with the verdict that our trouble started with the destabilisation of our Federation. Up until January 15, 1966, we had a fairly stable Federation. There were originally three Federating units Eastern Nigeria, Northern Nigeria and Western Nigeria. Later, Western Nigeria split into two, giving birth to the Midwest Region. Nigeria stood on these four solid and robust legs. At that time, each region had a thriving economy dependent on agriculture, and a growing manufacturing sector. Almost all the industrial estates in Ikeja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kaduna and Kano were built in the early sixties. Though oil had been Oloibiri, in present day Bayelsa State, it had not become a political weapon. At this time, the regions competed with each other in revenue generation and development, remitting 50% of their income from natural resources to the Federation account. At this time, the schools had teachers, and if you passed ‘Cambridge’ examination, you were sure of a good and decent job. The hospitals and health centres were in good shape; they did not have CT scans, but they were functional, and we had no idea of what ‘OS’ or ‘out of stock’ meant. We went to the dispensary and collected all the drugs prescribed by either the doctor or the health superinten

Destabilised Federation:

Leaving the central issues unresolved lived freely and safely where ever they wished. They did not have to register or carry identity cards. They owned prop apparent discrimination in every part of the Federation. Many went to school on county council or regional government scholarships. Though post indepen

the centre remained largely unattractive. That was why the late Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, the Sarduana of Sokoto, who was the leader of the Northern Peoples’ Congress (NPC) declined to go to the centre to become Prime Minister, but rather asked his deputy, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, to take up the position. He was content with remaining in the regional capital of Kaduna, because in the centre. Though I might add that our political leaders at that time were more honourable, if you know what I mean. But on January 15, 1966, things fell apart, and the centre could no longer hold. The military apparently came to ‘save’ Nigeria with their ‘puritanical’ fervour, but ended up with a Nigeria ‘disabled’. They abolished the Constitution, dissolved the Federating units, centralized power under a unitary command system in sympathy with their operational structure, and took over everything - schools, hospitals, hotels, news media and indeed the commanding heights of the economy. They

did not only kill but taught ordinary Nigerians to hate and kill each other, precipitating a civil war that led to the death of more than one million Nigerians. And then we ended up with an inverted Federation where the centre was now creating the parts - from four to 12 states, to 19, to 21 and to 36. Soon, == believe the fractionalisation and ‘brittilizatio’ will create stability. No way! This ‘brittilizatio’ will only worsen the “sharing mentality� and intensify the struggle to control the centre. As the Federating units become weaker, the centre gets stronger, because that is the natural order of things. To deal with the intense centripetal forces caused by ‘55 children’ struggling for food meant for four, you need very strong muscle. This will result in multiplicity of agencies to keep gathering the children, some errant and some rebellious. Today, we complain that over 70% of the National budget is spent on Recurrent Expenditure with less than 30% left for capital development. Who knows, then, we may have 120% of the budget used to run our bureaucracy! Not with the kind of mentality that is driving the National Assembly to think of establishing another electricity regulating body when the existing National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) is yet to be fully utilised.

–

Since 1966, Nigeria has rolled from one crisis to another. So much blood has been shed. So much resources have been wasted in either efforts to quench the crises or to repair the damage or to appease the combatants; resources that could have been better used to develop the nation and bring us out of embarrassing poverty has been shed. So much resources have

the crises or to repair the damage or to appease the combatants; resources that could have been better used to develop the nation and bring us out of embarrassing poverty. In the 2012 Federal Government’s budget, about N1trillion was allocated to security. In this year’s budget, nearly N1trillion is allocated to the security forces. And this week, the President

` { to allow him borrow $1billion (approx N170 billion) to support the military in its ‘war’ against Boko Haram. How long shall we allow our nation to go through this rigmarole and torture? Just because people want to control the centre and decide who gets what! Or because some feel they are not getting their due share, as we saw during the reign of militancy in the Niger Delta. No one has been able to calculate the true cost of that siege, and its continuing cost to the nation. After Boko Haram, who knows what more lethal variant will arise that will consume more blood, money and toil. My point is that, central to all these seasonal hiccups and repeated maladies are the twin issues of the structure of ~ ~ & Those were the critical issues that the National Conference was set up to resolve, in my view. These are the same issues that have destabilised our Federation for years, and the same issues we needed to confront to restore stability. But it is so sad that on both scores, they seem to have left me wondering. Instead of strengthening the Federating units, they prescribed a weakening; and ~

the evil day. So sad!
