23 States’ Assemblies vote against LG autonomy Continued from Page 2

Meanwhile, an overall analyses of the collated results of the Peoples Public Session shows that issues captured in the voting template such as State Creation, Residency, Citizenship and indigeneship question, Local Government Autonomy, Immunity Clause, Disability rights, ]\jŒ�Œ|{Z‘^Z”^|—\^Z:[\^Z”^|—\^ HZ�‘\q^ \‘\�Œ™^ Œ‘’^ {‘ister of Justice, Abolition of State Electoral Commissions etc, recorded a huge number of “YES� votes, while issues like Diaspora Voting, State Police, and improved women representation, etc, received a large number of “NO� Votes. The atmosphere and general response from those in attendance was that Nigerians will be keenly watching and following the Constitution amendment process. Speaking while transmitting the approved version of the amended constitution, Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Houses Assembly and Speaker of the AkwaIbom State House of Assembly, Samuel Ikon, said the state legislatures took a holistic view of some of the items before arriving at their various conclusions. Ikon said “let me announce that, we have exceeded the

Governor RotimiAmaechi of Rivers State and Jonah Jang of Plateau State, in separate reactions said the autonomy proposal for the local government system was against the tenet of the principle for the operation of a federal system. Recalled that the two Houses of the National Assembly had adopted the proposal for autonomy for the local governments as the third tier of government in the federation,

the move which has been received with joy among some stakeholders in the local government system was, however, opposed by the two factions of the NGF. The Jang-led faction of the NGF walked out from the mainstream faction led by Governor Amaechi after supporters of Jang disputed the outcome of the election which allegedly returned Amaechi as chairman of the governors’ association. In their reaction to the decision of the National Assembly to grant autonomy to the local governments, the Amaechiled faction speaking through its Director-General, Asis—Œ‘Œ ÂŞÂŒ`Â?`x^ ÂŒ:Â?Â?\Â’^ |—Œ|^ the body would not change its opposition on the issue of autonomy for local governments.

UPN holds national convention in Sokoto MIKAIL MUMUNI, Abuja

T

he national convention of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) has been scheduled for Sokoto, the Sokoto State capital, between January 10 and 11. National Organising Secretary of UPN, Dr. Ola Olateju, who stated this yesterday in a press statement, said the date has already }\\‘^ Z:[{Œ™™q^ [ZÂ?Â?`‘{cated to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by party’s Na|{Z‘Œ™^ Š\[`|{š\^ ZÂ?Â?{H\\^ (NEC) through its national secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Abdullahi Sokoto. Sokoto said each local government area shall be represented by one delegate, in accordance with Article III Section 2.2 of the party’s constitution. Members and leaders of the party were reminded by the National Organising Secretary that only NEC of the party was empowered to convene the national convention in accordance with Article IV Section I.I of the party’s constitution. Olateju advised party members to ignore any contrary information that may come up from those he called “political jobbers, who are known to have promised to deliver the party to their pay masters. “For the avoidance of doubt, UPN is an independ\‘|^jÂŒÂ?|q~^ |^{]^‘Z|^Œ‘^ÂŒ:™{ÂŒ|\^ of another party.

Ebonyi AG blasts lawmakers for usurping executive powers KENNETH OFOMA, Abakaliki

A

HZ \q¬ \ \ ^ and Commissioner for Justice, Ebonyi State, Dr. Ben Igwenyi yesterday lambasted members of the State House of Assembly, for al \ \ q^ H\ j|{ ^ |Z^ [ Z]]^ her constitutional line of duties to usurp the duties of the executive arm of government in the state. Accusing the lawmakers of being masterminded by a prominent politician in the state whom he said wanted to be a governor without an election, Igwenyi said that the directive of the House dissolving duly appointed Caretaker Chairmen of the 13 Local Governments and 28 Coordinators of Development Centres in the State amongst other directives, was abuse of their power and extant laws. The State House of Assembly had on Tuesday through a resolution, dissolved the Caretaker chairmen of the 13 local government areas, and the 28 newly appointed coordinators of the Development Centres in the state. The House, which sat with 18 out of 24 members, also demanded that the State Governor should submit de| { ]^Z ^| \^ [{ ^ [[ ` ]^ to the state, including Internally Generated Revenue

(IGR), Federation Z[ |{Z ^ ^ [{ ^ assistance by donor agencies, to the House of Assembly on Friday, January 9, 2015. The House equally directed that membership of boards and parastatals of government remain dissolved. But in a comprehensive reaction to the resolution, | \^ HZ \q¬ \ \ ^ { ^ ^ press conference in Abaka-

liki, stated that the power to appoint and dissolve any statutory body or agency or department of the executive branch of government remains the prerogative of the Governor or President. “The power which resides in the House is to suggest or ask the executive to remove or abrogate an existing executive institution, person or agency which the executive may or may not comply with.

Resolutions by Parliament has no force of law but merely advisory or persuasive and that is why the President or Governor can only comply with resolutions if he so pleases and not otherwise as purported by Ebonyi State House of Assembly. “At the National level, we have the recent case of Ms Aruma Oteh, DirectorGeneral, Securities and Exchange Commission whom the National Assembly

ing the 2015 Appropriation { ^Z ^| \^ ZZ ^Z ^| \^ | |\^ House of Assembly explained that the 2015 budget estimates were 12 per cent lower than the N115.3 billion of 2014 because of the current economic meltdown occasioned by global dipping of oil prices. Governor Orji said the 2015 Appropriation bill was

premised on the framework of International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) and structured along a Medium Term Expenditure framework which takes into account projections for the years 2015 to 2017, using 2013 budget as the base year. Being the last budget he would operate, Orji said he was mindful of the fact that

the 2015 budget was expected to take care of the completion of all on-going legacy projects to guarantee job creation and poverty reduction, develop physical and human infrastructure and, by so doing, go a long way in transforming the state in critical areas such as peace and security, infrastructural development, health care

delivery, improved internally generated revenue (IGR), education, agriculture, water resources, environment, housing, gender sensitivity and youth empowerment programmes among others.

Grand Oak’s Schnapps adds colour to festival

T

he 2014 Igue festival celebrated by the Oba of Benin, Omo N’ Oba Erediauwa and the entire Benin nation may have come and gone, but the fun created by the rich cultural display from different cultural groups, and the series of events at the festival still remain memorable in the minds of visitors, tourists and everyone who attended the festival. Prominent among these events is the Seaman sponsored Igue Akhue Game Competiton; a game that was intensely contested for and the finals of the competition were keenly watched by a cross-section of Benin Palace Chiefs. Apart from the cash prize, the winner of the game also went home with gift packs from Grand Oak, makers of Seaman’s Aromatic Schnapps while runners up were given some consolation prizes. While commenting on this year’s Igue festival celebration, Seaman’s Schnapps Manager, Mr Ezeani Nnamdi said that Seaman’s Schnapps has consistently sponsored the Akhue game because of the significance of the game in the history of the people of Edo culture just as the elder drink, is significant in the history of the people. He described the company’s Schnapps as the original no 1 prayer drink and custodian of Nigerian culture, saying that the company is proud to be associated with the Igue Festival as has been the case for many years before now. According to him, “The Igue Festival is a proud example of our rich cultural heritage and Seaman’s schnapps congratulates the Oba of Benin and all the people of Benin on yet another milestone. As the prayers and libations are offered while we usher in the new year 2015, We at Seaman’s Schnapps say let the blessings flow with your original No 1 prayer Drink , Seaman’s Schnapps and may 2015 be better than 2014”, he said.

On his part, the Sultan thanked the President for supporting the Hajj operations. He said, “We have seen tremendous achievements and progress, since we started the

U.S. forces hold man claiming to be top-level Kony defector

U

nited States forces in Africa have taken into custody a man claiming to be a top member of Lord’s Resistance Army, the Obama administration said Tuesday, saying the defection could be a “historic blow� to Joseph Kony’s nearly three-decade rebellion. The man surrendered to U.S. military personnel in the Central African Republic, where they are helping African troops hunt for Kony and his

Ongwen is considered by some to be Kony’s deputy commander. He is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes and crimes against humanity. Kony’s rebellion, which began in Uganda, is accused of some of the world’s worst atrocities including mass killings and keeping girls

as sex slaves. ÂŻ KZÂ?|]^|Z^\]|ÂŒ}™{]—^”`™™^ Œ‘’^ jZ]{|{š\^ {Â’\‘|{˜[ÂŒtion continue,â€? Psaki told reporters in Washington. “If the individual proves to be Ongwen, his defection would represent a historic blow to the LRA’s command structure.â€? Psaki said the African Union, with U.S. help, was making great strides in eliminating the LRA threat. Ongwen is being held in the eastern town of Obo in the Central African Republic, Ugandan Army spokesman Paddy An-

kunda told The Associated Press. Kasper Agger, an LRA researcher with Enough Project, an anti-genocide group, described Ongwen as part of the Lord’s Resistance Army’s “core command structure,� having started with the group in 1990 as a 10-year-old abductee. Originating in Uganda in the 1980s as a tribal uprising against the government, the LRA’s rebellion has become one of Africa’s longest and most brutal. At the peak of its

According to the Chairman, International ÂŒ}™\^ \‘‘{]^ \Â’\Â?ÂŒ|{Z‘^ Âą ²x^ ’—ŒÂ?^ —Œrara, the rally remains in thetop three among the 100 plays of the year listed by the sports media. “My particular interest is to watch the Top-100 Sports Plays as shown by a network called, SportsNet and I also like the top plays by ESPN. I particularly enjoy the Top-100 “Sports Bloopersâ€?. These are “missesâ€?, own goals, terrible mistakes, funny incidents, etc. Of course the most amazing on SportsNet are the Top-10 plays of the year.

To the experts in our sport, this may not be the best table tennis point of the year, but to the TV producers, and I suppose based on what they saw, this was the best rally in table tennis for 2014, and one of the top 3 best sports play of the year.�

Glo/CAF Awards:

Can Enyeama dethrone Yaya?

S

uper Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama had a phenomenal 2014 but has he done enough |Z^ j`]—^ ŒqŒ Z`�\^ ZK^ |—\^ track to become the best in Africa? Not to mention the Gabonese, Pierre-EmerickAubameyang who is also in strong contention for the most coveted individual prize in African football. Around this time last q\Œ�x^ —\™]\Œ^ �{’˜\™’\�x^ John Obi Mikel saw the award slip through his hands as Ivory Coast and Manchester City star, YayaToure won it and today, Vincent Enyeama will know if he’ll be named the best or not. The last time a Nigerian player was named the best

in Africa was in 1999 when NwankwoKanu “Papilo� won the award. Enyeama being a goalkeeper, a position that rarely makes it to this stage in most cases, made it to the last three and he’ll hope that he gets the most votes of Head Coaches or the Technical Directors of the National Associations Œ:™{Œ|\’^ |Z^ ^ _—Z^ Œ�\^ eligible to vote for the best in Africa. YayaToure looked a strong contender for the award having won it thrice in a row and his performance last season puts him forward as a strong contender. The Ivorian was instrumental to his English club side Manchester City who lifted the Premier League trophy after he scored 24 goals in

the league. Though Ivory Coast didn’t move beyond the group stage at the 2014 ^ ZÂ?™’^ `jx^—\^j™Œq\Â’^ in all the three matches the Elephants were involved in ÂŒ|^|—\^ ZÂ?™’^ `j~^ Enyeama hit the headlines having kept 1,062 minutes without conceding a goal. It looked as if the Nigerian would break Gaetan Huard’s Ligue 1 goalkeeping record, set in 1993, of playing 1,176 minutes without conceding but Enyeama, after keeping a clean sheet for that long in Ligue 1, conceded away to Bordeaux. His consistent performance helped the Super Eagles reach the last sixteen ÂŒ|^|—\^Ă€Ž­à ^ ^ ZÂ?™’^ `j~ After he kept Barcelona and Argentina genius, Li-

onel Messi from scoring against the Super Eagles at |—\^ Ă€Ž­Ž^ ^ ZÂ?™’^ `j^ in South Africa, both players had another opportunity to face each other in Brazil. Even though he conceded three goals (this time Messi scored against him) his per”ZÂ?Â?Œ‘[\^ÂŒ|^|—\^ ZÂ?™’^ `j^ was spectacular. The Gabonese also in contention, Pierre-EmerickAubameyang looked to be a distant third behind Enyeama and Toure, but the 14 goals he scored last season to help his Bundesliga club ZÂ?`]]{ÂŒ^ ZÂ?|Â?`‘’^ ˜‘{]—^ as second best can’t be overlooked. So who deserves it more? {™™^ ^‘ŒÂ?\^ÂŒ^ {“\Â?{Œ‘x^ an Ivorian or a Gabonese as the best in Africa today?

According to Nesiama: “As the Technical Director of Athletics \’\�Œ|{Z‘^ Z”^ {“\�{Œx^ my assessment of the performance of Nigerian athletics in 2014 is average despite the performance of the like of Blessing Okagbare and Ese Brume. “it is true that Okagbare and Brume did the country proud last year but that does not mean we don’t have room for improvement. “I sincerely believe that we still have room for improvement in many areas of athletics in the country. “There is no doubt that Okagbare did the country proud last year as she dominated the Commonwealth Games in Scotland, winning the 100mtrs event with new Game’s records

and at the same time she won the 200mtrs. She was also in a blistering form few days after end of the Commonwealth Games in Scotland as she equally won the 100mtrs in African Championship for the country. “But one thing we should know is that Nigerian athletics is not only about Blessing Okagbare and Ese Brume.

he sale of Francesc Fabregas to Chelsea was one of the key factors in Andoni Zubizarreta losing his job as director of football at the Nou Camp, according to Spanish sources and relayed by the Daily Star. After four years with the Catalan giants Zubizarreta was axed from his position on Monday.

After hearing from Messi, the group plans to have a meeting between players and Enrique only, to solve the situation and move on from the issue, sources say. This crisis has resurrected the rumors about a possible Messi departure, with Chelsea being the favorites to land the best player in the world. The rumors got stronger after Leo started following the London club and a few players on Instagram, which somehow means that he’s made up his mind and he’s going to England just because he’s looking at photos from Chelsea people.

Thursday and Atletico Madrid in the League on Sunday, the coach will ‘go the way of Andoni Zubizarreta.’ Zubi was on Monday sacked after four years as sporting director and his replacement has not yet been named. Enrique has also been

asked to improve his relationship with the Barca players after reports of a row with Lionel Messi, who was one of a number of big names left out of the team that started the defeat against Real Sociedad on Sunday. Messi, Neymar, Dani Alves and Gerard Pique

were all benched, with Pique the only player not called into the match, Messi coming on at halftime. Reports of a row between Enrique and Messi at Anoeta surfaced earlier in the week and Messi missed Barca’s open training session on Monday.

L

ionel Messi has said he had no choice but to miss Barcelona’s open training session on Monday. “I have no control over setbacks.� Messi was absent for the morning due to a stomach complaint, although it was suggested that his non-involvement was a reaction to the reported row he had on Sunday with Luis Enrique. The Argentina captain though took to Facebook to explain the circumstances

and said there was nothing he could do. “I would have liked to be at the Christmas training session. I’ve never missed it before but these setbacks can’t be controlled,� he argued, AS reports. “I wish that every child’s dream comes true. Hugs.� Messi’s Facebook missive isn’t his only social media activity to make headlines on Tuesday after the Spanish press reported he has followed a number of Chelsea

players on Instagram, amid speculation the Premier League club are preparing a bid for his services.

Ronaldo, who won the prize last year, is the favourite to do so again on January 12, but there has been growing support for the Bayern Munich goalkeeper to be handed the individual award.

ith cruise r we i g h t champion, Yoan Pablo Hernandez sidelined with a right elbow injury, the IBF will do something that they rarely do. “It’s one of the few times you’ll see an ‘interim’ champion with the IBF. Hernandez couldn’t do his mandatory with the additional medical extension time that we gave him so we ordered an interim title with the two highest guys, which is number three, Ola Afolabi and number four, a kid named Victor Ramirez from Argentina,â€? explained Lindsey Tucker, the Championship Chairman of the IBF, to BoxingScene.com. Hernandez was scheduled to face the slick Afolabi on December 6th before pulling out of that assignment. According to Tucker the representatives of Afolabi and Ramirez will have a 30 day window to negotiate a deal, and if one is not con]`Â?Â?ÂŒ|\Â’^|—{]^˜“—|^_{™™^“Z^ to a purse bid. The winner of AfolabiRamirez will be mandated to face Hernandez, next. “And if Hernandez is unavailable - and he has up to nine months - and [Œ‘§|^ ˜“—|x^ |—\‘^ _—Z\š\Â?^ wins that (between Afolabi and Ramirez) becomes the champion,â€? explained Tucker.

However, the venue of the championship clash remains unknown as of the moment. It will be the second championship bid for Melindo (32-1, 12 knockouts) as he was given an opportunity to compete for a world title in July 2013 when he challenged Juan Francisco Estrada for the World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Â?“Œ‘{´ÂŒ|{Z‘^ Âą ²^ ‹qweight straps, but he bowed to his Mexican counterpart via unanimous decision.

Melindo opted to move ’Z_‘^ |Z^ ™{“—|^ ‹q_\{“—|^ {‘^ November 15, 2014 when he faced Saul Juarez in an IBF title eliminator, where he

It was not the only setback in the east Londoner’s career, with former WBO champion Ricky Burns halting his only world title bid in the fourth round in 2010. But the 31-year-old has impressed since returning to trainer Tony Sims and is determined to secure a

crack at WBC king Jorge Linares. “The WBC route is one that I feel I can go down better than any of the others,â€? said Mitchell. “I know that I can beat Linares.

Woman can preserve her eggs for future reproduction – Ajayi Dr. Ajayi

Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist and the Managing Director of Nordica Lagos Fertility Centre Ajayi is a specialist trained in IVF at the Iscare Centre for Assisted Reproduction, Bratislava, Slovak Republic; Institute of Human Reproduction Symbion , Fruebjerguej (a research centre) and the Fertility Clinic of Copenhagen University, Herlev Hospital, both in Coppenhagen, Denmark. Dr. Ajayi who has a wealth of experience in fertility treatment and has earned a reputation in this interview with CHIOMA UMEHA (HEALTH EDITOR) speaks on cryopreservation of sperm, embryo, eggs among other issues. Excerpts:

W

hat is involved in store sperm; assuming you are cryopreservation going for the treatment of cancer of sperm, em- which can make a person sterbryo and eggs? The term cryopreservation means preserving something with ice. What we do in assisted reproduction is to use liquid Nitrogen to preserve things. Now, there is a change. We now have a form of cryopreservation | |^ {]^ [ \ ^ {| { [ |{Z ^ _ {[ ^ { \]^ }\H\ ^ \]` |]^ | ^ | \^ [Z ventional cryopreservation. This is why we can now store eggs. Initially, we could not store eggs using the conventional method, but now we can store eggs. Cryopreservation is done under the following conditions: When you have excess embryo, you can

ile after treatment and you want to preserve your fertility, such a person can also store his sperm before going for the treatment. On the other hand, if you are going for a surgery that can compromise your fertility, then you can store your sperm. During IVF treatment, if the spouse would not be around in the course of the treatment and the sperm is okay, then we can store such sperm for the individ` ~^ Z_x^ | {]^ {]^ `{|\^ {K\ \ |^ from embryo freezing; which is storage of excess embryos. For a very long time, a lot of people were against IVF’s because they saw it as a waste of embryos. Now, we know that this is not true as we can store excess

So, a woman who is unmarried, but wants to preserve her fertility can preserve her eggs until when she gets a man. She can then use the man’s sperm to fertilize her eggs. The capability of women’s reproduction decreases as they are aging

The problem with the conventional cryopreservation/ slow cryopreservation is that in the process of freezing the embryo, the water in the embryo will also freeze and become ice and that will denature the proteins so that by the time you are toying back, you must have lost some of the nature of the proteins.

Egg preservation and embryo preservation Egg is just from one person, embryo is from two people. For you to have an embryo, you need a man. If a woman wants to preserve her eggs, she does not need a man. So, a woman who is unmarried, but wants to preserve her fertility can preserve her eggs until when she gets a man. She can then use the man’s sperm to fertilize her eggs. The capability of women’s reproduction decreases as they are aging. Therefore if a woman is 32 and she needs to further her education, but wants to preserve her eggs, she can easily do so now, this is unlike before when we only preserved embryos; now, we can store eggs as well.

This came about because of men with very poor sperm count. We have also noticed that one of the things that happen is that the DNA is fragmented in them and if we use such sperms to do PICSI, you probably are going to get no fertilization at all and if you get fertilization, after a while the embryo would burn out and you would get a bad embryo. Sometimes, you get a pregnancy and then have a miscarriage. PICSI is a method that we use to identify those sperm cells with a damaged DNA and we avoid using them for ICSI. We have been able to identify that there is a protein that covers the egg normally and it is | {]^ j Z|\{ ^ | |^ H [|]^ | \^ Z mal sperm. In nature, most of the time, it is the normal sperm that fertilizes the egg. It is the protein we then put on a dish and we put the sperm sample on the dish and we look for the sperm that binds with that protein and those are the normal sperms which we use for ICSI. That is why it is called physiological ICSI. PICSI reduces the occurrence of bad embryos, abortion of pregnancy and no pregnancy.

2014: Some giant strides despite Ebola saga

Ebola Health workers

Continued from page 43

have gone down as one of the most important events of the year. Polio Eradication There was good news in polio eradication. The outstanding performance the country recorded in the eradication of polio despite the insecurity in some parts of the country which hampered immunisation in those areas was another milestone that received accolades even from outside the country. Nigeria is one of the only three countries that have never been free from polio (Pakistan and Afghanistan are the other two), but with a decrease of 50 cases to six cases in 2014, the country would soon be declared polio free. Commenting on Bill Gates on the [Z`‘|Â?q§]^ \KZÂ?|^ |Z^ \Â?Œ’{[ÂŒ|\^ jZ™{Zx^ Gates noted: “The fact that Nigeria is now Ebola free is a great example of —Z_^ Â’Z{‘“^ |—\^ _ZÂ?ÂŞ^ |Z^ ˜“—|^ |—{‘“]^ ™{ÂŞ\^ jZ™{Z^ Ϊ]Z^ ™\Œš\]^ [Z`‘|Â?{\]^ }\H\Â?^ prepared to deal with outbreaks of other diseases.â€? Also the Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, said, Nigeria has not recorded a single new case of the wild polio virus since July. Only six cases have been recorded in Nigeria this year - a dramatic 90-percent decline from last year. This is key progress, since Nigeria has been the sole reservoir for the spread of the virus to dozens of other African countries. It would leave Pakistan and Afghanistan as the only remaining countries in the world where polio is still endemic.

A decade ago, the campaign ran into a hitch, as northern politicians and religious leaders spread rumours that the polio vaccine caused AIDS and infertility. In February, 2013, another obstacle reared its ugly head as gunmen killed nine vaccination workers in the northern city of Kano. Other landmarks President Goodluck Jonathan assented to the National Health Bill, the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, PCV, was also adopted into the National routine immunisation schedule. The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in collaboration with mobile networks in Nigeria launched a mobile health insurance scheme. With the launch every Nigerian who owns a phone will now have access to health insurance with as low as N250.00 per _\\ª~^ —\^ Z}{™\^ \K\[|{š\^ ‘\|_Z�ª]^ include MTN and Airtel, Nigeria.

To boost lab services in the country, the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) commissioned its Human Virology Laboratory. Also, during the year, President Goodluck Jonathan launched a programme on Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV, (PMTCT) where it was declared no Nigerian child should be born with HIV. The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) opened the N100 million Molecular Biology Research Laboratory built and equipped by Chevron Nigeria. The lab was key to |—\^ `{[ÂŞ^[Z‘˜Â?Â?ÂŒ|{Z‘^Z”^™Œ|\^ ÂŒ_q\Â?§]^ infection status with Ebola Virus Disease. Similarly, the private hospitals this year showed more understanding in terms of data collection. According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, there are improved data collections from the

private facilities unlike before. Another milestone was the commissioning of Dental Therapist Development Centre in Lagos. The [\‘|Â?\^ _—{[—^ {]^ ˜Â?]|^ Z”^ {|]^ ÂŞ{‘’^ {‘^ Nigeria will help to check quackery in the dental profession. The resignation of the former Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu towards the end of the year to contest the gubernatorial seat in Ebonyi state led to appointment of the Minister of State for Health as the supervising Minister of Health. Indeed, among the most glaring assessments of the sector in 2014 was perhaps the commitment and leadership shown by the Federal and State governments to stop the spread of the dreaded Ebola virus. So also, collaborations among philanthropists, religious and corporate organisations |Z^ \‘’^ ^ ]jÂ?\Œ’^ _\Â?\^ ]{“‘{˜[Œ‘|~^ For instance, mobile companies like Airtel Nigeria provided phones, free airtime amongst others. MTN donated treatment equipment, while organisations donated funds. This is even as many religious organisations in 2014 launched various programmes on health and lifestyle. Some Churches dedicated some of their time to educate their members on health education particularly during the Ebola saga. Also, worthy of mention is the fact that the outbreak of Ebola also brought a lot of changes in the way patients are assessed in the hospitals; travellers are checked at the airports, borders and so on. It brought about for example the introduction of hand - held non contact thermometers.

t’s important for everyone to manage stress for the sake of their health and happiness, but a new study shows it could be especially important for people who get headaches. Researchers from the University Hospital of University DuisburgEssen in Germany found an association between higher stress levels and an increased number of tension-type headaches and migraine headaches. “The results add weight to the concept that stress can be a factor contributing to the onset of headache disorders, that it accelerates the progression to chronic headache, exacerbates headache episodes, and that the headache experience itself can serve as a stressor,� study researcher Dr. Sara H.

For the study, researchers surveyed 5,159 people between ages 21 and 71 about their stress levels and headaches over two years. They were surveyed four times a year, and were asked to provide information on how many headaches they experienced a month. Among the study participants, tension-type headaches were the most common, experienced by 31 percent of the participants. Fourteen percent reported experiencing migraines, 11 percent reported experiencing migraine combined with tension-type headaches, and 17 percent reported experiencing headaches but did not specify what kind. People who experienced tensiontype headaches had average stress

levels of 52 out of 100, while those who experienced migraine headaches had average stress levels of 62 out of 100. People with migraines and tension-type headaches had average stress levels of 59 out of 100. After taking into account other potential factors, such as drinking and headache drug use, researchers found an association between stress and frequency of headaches for all three categories. With tension-type headaches, the number of headache days per month increased 6.3 percent for each additional 10 points on the stress scale. With migraine headaches, the number of headache days per month increased 4.3 percent for each additional 10 stress scale points, and with migraine and tension-type headaches, the number of headache days per month increased 4 percent for each additional 10 stress scale points.

Plc v Phillips, acknowledged the importance of directors to the running of a company, when it was held as follows; “A company may in many ways be likened to a human body. It has a brain and nerve centre which control what it does. It has hands which hold the tools and act in accordance with directions from the centre. Some of the people in the company are mere servants and agents who are nothing more than hands to do the work and cannot be said to represent the mind and will. Others are directors and managers who represent the directing mind and will of the company and control what it does.

Legal position of directors (1) Directors are trustees of the company’s moneys, properties and their powers and as such must account for all the moneys over which they exercise control and shall refund any moneys improperly paid away, and shall exercise their powers honestly in the interest of the company and all the shareholders, and not in their own or sectional interests. (2) A director may, when acting within his authority and the powers of the company, be regarded as agents of the company under Part III of this Act. The Act is silent on the day to day role and power of the directors and has left those to the company articles. There is also no mention of the way and manner the board ought to be organized and it follows that each company apart from appointing members of the board must also specify the structure, role and powers of its directors in the articles of association. In general, the courts have held that a director has a continuing duty to ac `{Â?\^ Œ‘’^ Â?ÂŒ{‘|ÂŒ{‘^ ]`:[{\‘|^ `‘’\Â?standing of the company’s business to enable him to discharge his duties

as a director and that the question of whether a director has discharged his duties shall depend on the facts of each particular case, the articles of association and the director’s role in the management of the company. In the past, the status of the secretary in a company was regarded as a mere servant whose functions were only clerical and ministerial. His duties were of a limited and somewhat humble character. However, under the Act the status has changed. Thus, a company secretary, though not a director, {]^ |—\^ [—{\”^ Œ’Â?{‘{]|Â?ÂŒ|{š\^ Z:[\Â?^ Z”^ the company, responsible along with the directors, for certain tasks under the Act.

Section 298(1) provides that; the duties of a company secretary include; ÂąÂŒ²^ H\‘’{‘“^ |—\^ Â?\\|{‘“^ Z”^ |—\^ company, the Board of Directors and {|]^ [ZÂ?Â?{H\\]x^ Â?\‘’\Â?{‘“^ Œ™™^ ‘\[\]sary secretarial services in respect of the meeting with the applicable rules and regulations; (b) Maintaining the registers and other records required to be maintained by the company under the Act; (c) Rendering proper returns and “{š{‘“^‘Z|{˜[ÂŒ|{Z‘]^|Z^|—\^[ZÂ?Â?{]]{Z‘^ as required under the Act; and (d) Carrying out such administrative and other secretarial duties as directed by the directors or the company. The company secretary advises on changes to a company’s share structure, capital issues and restructuring. He/she ensures that all documents are properly executed and authenticated Œ‘’^jÂ?Zj\Â?™q^˜™\Â’^_{|—^Â?\™\šŒ‘|^Â?\“`latory bodies. Additionally, the company secretary is also saddled with the responsibility of advising on the importance of the balance of powers between the company’s board of directors, management, shareholders and other stakeholders. The company secretary must provide facilities for the public inspection of documents. In the performance of these duties, a company secretary must ensure that the provisions of the Articles of Association, all statutes regulating the operations of the company, rules and regulations and {‘|\Â?‘Œ|{Z‘Œ™^ ZÂ?^ ]\[|ZÂ?^ ]j\[{˜[^ [ZÂ?jZrate governance policies are complied with. The immense role of the company secretary cannot be understated.

Foundation fetes widows in Abuja NNAH DOUGLAS, Abuja

A

lasting and memorable legacy is such that touches positively on the lives of the people living within a given environment. Following the activities of the Rock of Ages and Empowerment Foundation (RAEF) over the years, it can be \ `[\ ^ | |^ ^ ¤Z ^ H {}`|\^ _ {[ ^ places it top amongst its contemporaries is the consistency and passion with which it vigorously pursues and implements its charity and empowerment policies, particularly using its umbrella to provide shade to vulnerable people at their points of need. Amongst other functions, one major responsibility of the media is to bring to public domain exploits of such humanitarian ventures with the aim to encourage other well-to-do in society to borrow a leaf from such life-changing programmes. As a platform for catering for the welfare of widows by equipping and empowering them through various skill acquisition programmes, a clear observation shows that since the establishment of RAEF in 2010, a major {]|{ `{] { ^ [|Z ^ Z ^ | \^ Z ¬j Z |^ making body is that its target audience cuts across all religions, tribes/ethnic enclaves. Interestingly, RAEF’s life-transforming programmes, which hold three times yearly, apart from the monthly prayer meetings organized to spiritu q^}\H\ ^| \^ Z|]^Z ^| \]\^_Z \ x^| \^ women also receive words of exhortation which according to pundits, is ideal { ^ ^ { [ |{Z ]~ The consistency with which Evangelist Ignatius Newman Ezeigbo, founder of RAEF religiously carries out his activities is amazing and had also attracted commendations from various individuals, groups, the Federal Government through the Ministry of Wom\ ^ K { ]x^ ]^ _\ ^ ]^ | \^ { |\ |{Z ^ community, and of course going by the contents in the holy bible, heaven will not be exempted from the celebration of the giant strides of Newman’s ‘milk of human kindness.’ On Saturday, December 21, 2014, at Echichi Garden, in the Gudu District of Abuja, over 200 widows who had Z:[{ q^ ` \ Z \^ {Z`]^ ]ª{ ]^ [quisition programmes under the foundation’s tutelage and supervision, re[\{ \ ^[\ |{ [ |\]^Z ^j |{[{j |{Z x^} ]^ of rice and an additional N20,000 each to start small-scale businesses. There was also free medical check-ups and care for those experiencing health challenges. A walk to the venue of the empowerment programme, which may be mistaken for a crusade, saw the mammoth crowd happily singing songs of praise to God. The crowd comprised not only the }\ \ [{ {\]^ ±_{ Z_]²x^ }`|^ ]Z^ `\]|]^ from many divides and spectators that came to see things for themselves. Ignatius Newman said: “The foundation came into being as a result of my passion and overwhelming desire to { \^ ]`[[Z` ^ |Z^ _{ Z_]^ { ^ {K\ \ |^ parts of the country. I am always elated and my heart feels a kind of joy that knows no bounds.” The founder enthused that each time

rice.” In RAEF’s pursuit of its vision, mission and objectives, the founder said the foundation is currently working on a project aimed at providing housing units to widows who either do not have a place of their own, or those living in dehumanising conditions. “We hope to build skill acquisition and training centres where these women could be trained in various vocations,” adding that the foundation is also working on ways to expand its capacity with a view to sponsoring children of widows to primary and secondary school levels and called on Nigerians to support the widows in prayers vis-à-vis support the noble objective in cash and kind. Ignatius explained further how RAEF is extending its hand of charity to families who are not in the category of widows but are victims of poverty and lack. “For some of them that are not widows, we ensure we work within the scope of our objective to extend our hands of fellowship to them but not in

the rank of widows,” he said. He called on the federal government to enact laws to protect the rights and privileges of widows as according to him when the bread winner of the family dies, the widow hardly gets access to the wealth of the family. He called on married men to always carry their wives along in their businesses and properties to enable the woman get her rightful rights when the unexpected happens. For the Abuja co-ordinator of RAEF, Blessing Orji, the foundation which has branches in zones like Maiduguri, Abuja, Ilorin, Idah in Kogi State as well as Lagos was hopeful that more branches will crop up in other zones, said: “Before now, we used to give the widows just cash but the money does not stand the test of time that was the reason we decided to train them.” \]jZ { x^ ^ }\ \ [{ qx^ `]|{ ^ Nzeto, who said she lost her breadwinner 24-years-ago, told Newswatch Times about her joy, “God is using the foundation to bless my family, since I lost my husband nobody has given me a dime, for over seven years, I have not been to the village for lack of resources.” She revealed that she has learnt more creative skills, particularly, snacks ª{ ^ ^ {K\ \ |^ {\|{\]^ Z ^ {can dishes. On her part, 53-year-old widow, Mercy Ani, said she was left to cater for six children but on discovering the foundation which she described as ‘wonderful’. “This man, Pastor IG is performing wonders for widows, I did not expect any money because nobody told us that we will be given money, but here I am with some cash to start some business” and I prayed to God to do exceeding wonders in the life of the founder,” she said.

Electricity consumers condemn high tariff from DISCOs ...Demand adequate meter supply

A

recent nationwide consultative meeting on metering, organized to enlighten the public on the novel Credit Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI) Scheme, was marred in several centres by an avalanche of complaints from members of the public against service providers. Participants in the meetings at several centres agreed that the series of complaints and condemnations have \ {|\ q^[Z \ ^| \^_{ \ q^ [[\j|\ ^ belief that the country will be worse ZK^ { ^ \ \[| {[{|q^ ]`jj q^ { ^ | \^ ]^ Z ^ private sector service providers except drastic measures are taken to curtail their ` \^j Z |^ \ | {|q^ ^Z| \ ^\©[\]]\]^ directed against electricity consumers. \ {\]^ Z ^ j\|{|{Z ]^ _\ \^ ]`} {H\ ^ by members of the public in Abuja, Ibadan, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Edo and Enugu to the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission [NERC] against the activities of private distribution companies [DISCOs], who took over power generation and distribution from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria Ó Ôx^_{| Z`|^]`:[{\ |^[ j [{|q^ ^ preparation on how to improve power supply. The Credit Advance Payment for Metering Implementation [CAPMI], a metering intervention programme was introduced in June last year by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission [NERC] through Order 05/001/13 of 2014, and planned to bridge several gaps especially the elimination of estimated or random billing system, enhance revenue generation as well as \ `[\^ j Z |^ Z]]^ { ^ | \^ jZ_\ ^ ]\[|Z x^ the success of its implementation leaves much to be desired. Complaints over poor metering across the country have continued to cast doubts on the wisdom surrounding the privatization of the power sector and q^ { \ { ]^ \^ Z_^ \ \H{ ^| |^ they supported the government when the plan was being sold to the people.

It was gathered that existing regulations provided that consumers should not pay for meters as it was to be supplied free of charge by electricity distributors and paid for on monthly basis, the paucity of funds, which militated against adequate procurement of the facilities by DISCOs, forced the CAPMI to come in and intervene in the metering problem. Subscribers in the FCT complained about random billing system or the estimated crazy billing rates; accusing the private electricity distributors of constantly extorting thousands of naira from consumers for poor service delivery and electricity that was not used. The consumers are equally complaining that even when customers make investments in procurement of meters, transformers and other electricity [{ {|{\]x^ \H{ ^ | \^ ]^ |Z^ { ]| ^ or energize the facilities or refund the expenses becomes a huge problem. Documented evidence produced in many centres of deceitful acts and dealings by distribution companies formed the bulk of complaints at the nationwide consumer consultation meetings organized by the NERC to investigate how DISCOs

are faring in the implementation of the CAPMI application guidelines. It was discovered during the meetings, that due to numerous complaints of widespread anomalies, consumers are ]|^ Z]{ ^[Z \ [\^{ ^| \^j { |{´ |{Z ^ exercise.

o fewer than 100 Nigerian youngsters are presently languishing in detention facilities in India, just as a new deadly drug is speculated to have crept into the country.

Details of the newly discovered drug of death remain sketchy but authorities say it has almost devastating potentials as cocaine and heroin when consumed. The drug, according to an Interpol source is known as Khat leaf and that it is now competing with other known drugs at

The detainees were said to be involved in transport and supply of Khat leaves, narcotic substances and allied illegal drugs. Information at our disposal has it that places like Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills Filmnagar, Medipatnam and Yousufguda in West Zone limits were lately discovered to be the hubs for cocaine sale.

At the end of the raid, and coalition of cases, Indian police were said to have registered 5,900 cases of opium in the city of Hyderbad alone. It was also gathered that 166 cases of cocaine sale or use were registered in 2014 as compared to 174 cases of cocaine and no case of opium in 2013in the city. Indian government said many foreigners; especially Nigerians were involved in smuggling Khat leaves to the city from various countries and that 200 cases were registered in this regard in 2014. Interpol source informed our reporter that recently, Hyderrabad police nabbed 60 in connection with the transport of drugs. Of them, 40 are Indian nationals and the rest foreigners.

T

he country will continue to remain united, stronger and indivisible after the general elections, Senator Joseph Waku has proclaimed. While exchanging views with newsmen in Kano yesterday, Waku reiterated that despite the apprehension on the forthcoming election, the country will remain an indivisible and united country. ‘‘Nigeria will remain united, one single entity and even stronger after the general elections.

Uduaghan thumbs chest on Okagbare’s feats Sylvester Idowu, Asaba

G

overnor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State yesterday described the feat recorded by the fastest woman in Africa, Blessing Okagbare as one of the gains of his administration’s Human Capital Development agenda. Speaking when he received Sports Person of the Year award for Blessing Okagbare (now Mrs. Ighoteguonor) in Asaba, Uduaghan stated that his administration invested in the athlete and other Deltans, observing that such investments were not only a blessing to Delta State, Nigeria but to Africans. According to him, the success recorded by Blessing Okagbare at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was a great feat for Nigeria after years of not winning medals at the Games. He asserted that it was a thing of pride to see the world stand still for Nigeria’s national anthem as a result of the laurels won by Blessing Okagbare and Ese Brume who are Deltans. Uduaghan stated that

the greatest asset of the state is in human capital development and his administration has encouraged Deltans to \Š[\™^{‘^|—\{Â?^[—Z]\‘^˜\™’]~ “Blessing is a product of our Human Capital Development scheme and we believe that the state is not just rich in oil alone, but richer in human talent and we should be able to develop whatever potentials Œ‘q^ \™|Œ‘^\ŠÂ—{}{|]^}\^{|^{‘^ sports or entertainment,â€?
