Unity Bank’s profit loss hits N14.9bn...

Continued from page 1

Unity Bank came on the heels of NSE suspension on its share price on last week Thursday.

It is instructive to note that the management of Unity Bank reacted with the filing of all outstanding results on early Friday.

From the 2017 financial statement, the bank reported N14.2 billion loss before tax as against N2.8 billion reported in 2016.

The bank reported 23.1 per cent increase in Impairment losses to N44.25 billion in 2017 from N35.9 billion reported in 2016 while total operating expenses dropped by 7.2 per cent to N24.46 billion as against N26 billion reported in 2016.

Unity Bank’s total assets dropped significantly by 68.2 per cent to N156.5 billion in 2017 from N492.68 billion reported in 2016, attributable to 96.8per cent drop in loans and advances to customers.

From the bank’s balance sheet position, loans and advances to customers dropped from N277 billion reported in 2016 to N8.96 billion in 2017 while customers deposit decreased by 4.5 per cent to N252 billion from N264.2 billion reported in 2016.

Regarding over noncompliance to post listing requirements, the NSE imposed N79.9 million sanctions on Unity Bank.

Unity Bank had failed to comply with post

listing requirement of the Exchange which includes the late filing of 2017 full financial year results, first quarter results of 2018, half-year results of 2018 and third quarter results of 2018.

Findings by The Daily Times also revealed that NSE imposed N40.7 million sanction on Unity Bank for late filing of 2017 audited result and accounts; N29 million and N9.8 million for late filing of the first quarter and half year results of 2018 respectively.

Furthermore, the financial institution was sanctioned with N200,000 fine for the late filing of third-quarter results of 2018.

But the Unity Bank in a statement, attributed the delay to ongoing discussions with the bank’s prospective investors, stressing that discussions are in progress and will be concluded shortly.

Shedding more light on the situation, the Company Secretary, Unity Bank, Mr. Mohammed Shehu, in a signed statement said, “the delay in filing the financial statements was occasioned by specific corporate actions, including ongoing discussions with the Bank’s prospective investors undertaken by the Bank which necessitated extensive reviews by our primary regulator.

“In furtherance of this, the Bank consulted extensively with the

NSE and Central Bank of Nigeria and obtained an extension of up to October 31, 2018, to file the accounts for which it remains appreciative.

“We are pleased to inform our stakeholders that discussion with our prospective investors are progressing according to plan and will be concluded shortly, following which necessary regulatory approvals would be sought and the announcement made.”

The bank further disclosed that it now carries zero NonPerforming Loan (NPL) and is in full compliance with regulatory criteria.

The statement reads in part: “As part of the Bank’s recapitalisation strategies, the Bank obtained the approval of the CBN to dispose of all its NPLs to an institutional assets management company.

“Consequently, upon payment of the initial consideration by the debt buyer, Loans and advances with a gross amount of N436billion have been derecognized, along with the associated IFRS impairment and Regulatory Risk Reserves.

“This follows the conclusion of the transaction in line with a Transaction Implementation Agreement (TIA) and a Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed with the institutional assets management company.”

The members who left the APC are Hon Lawali Hassan, who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Hon Dapo Lam Adesina, who moved to the Action Democratic Party (ADC); Hon. Segun Williams, who joined the Labour Party and Hon Abiodun Dada, who switched to the Accord Party.

The former APC members in separate letters read on

the floor of the House of Representatives by Speaker, Hon Yakubu Dogara, announced their defection from the APC which controls the majority in the House.

Hon Hassan represents Anka/Mafara Federal Constituency of Zamfara State, where the party is currently in turmoil over the party’s primaries held in the state.

His defection from the ruling party was celebrated by the main opposition party, the PDP. Hon Adesina, son of the former governor of Oyo State represents Ibadan

North- East/South- East Federal Constituency and he has had a running battle with the governor of his state over the crisis ravaging the state chapter of the APC. The defection of Hon Williams, who represents Abeokuta South, appears to be a huge surprise to the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon Yusuff Lasun, who exclaimed “you too” when his defection was announced.

The Daily Times reports that the Ogun State chapter of the APC is also engulfed in crisis over the choice of candidates.

National Minimum Wage: In one fell swoop, Buhari okays N30, 000 to kill Labour strike Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

Apparently taking decisive action to stop Organised Labour from going on strike, President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday endorsed N30, 000 as the new national minimum wage for workers in the country.

Buhari stated this while receiving the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President also promised to send a bill to the National Assembly to effect the change from N18, 000 to N30, 000.

Buhari also expressed delight that the committee had successfully completed its assignments in a peaceful and non-controversial manner The President also expressed his commitment to having new National Minimum Wage Act. Receiving the report of Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage from the Committee Chairman, Ms Ama Pepple, Buhari also said that having seen the argument of the government team on insisting on N24, 000 and that of the organised labour that agreed N30,000, he would put in place the necessary machinery that would close out the open areas.

Buhari also expressed delight that the committee had successfully completed its assignments in a peaceful and non-controversial manner He said: “Our plan is to transmit the Executive Bill to the National Assembly for passage within the shortest possible time. I am fully committed to having a new National Minimum Wage Act in the very near future.

sector as well as representatives of state and Federal Government for all your hard work. The fact that we are here today is a notable achievement.

“On 27th November 2017, I inaugurated the National Minimum Wage Committee with a mandate to recommend a new minimum wage for the workers of our country.

“This exercise became necessary for many reasons. The last review took place in 2011. We all know since then, the prices of key consumables have increased and the most vulnerable of our workers are struggling to make ends meet.

“Since 2011, many changes have taken place. Nigeria rebased its GDP to become the largest economy in Africa. We reported very strong GDP growth rates and exceptional performance of our capital markets. However, these reported successes did not flow into the pockets and homes of majority of Nigerians. In the last three years, we focused on

correcting this deficiency. We are working to create a diversified and inclusive economy.

“We are pushing to clear pension arrears owed to our retired workers with the limited resources available to us. We supported State Governments to pay workers salary.

“And of course, we set up a committee in order to review the minimum wage of workers. In constituting this committee, we took into account the need for all stakeholders to be adequately represented – the government, the private sector and most importantly the workers. Our goal was to get an outcome that was consensual.

“From the onset, we knew the committee had a difficult task ahead of it. But at the same time, we were also confident that the patriotic and professional background of its members would produce realistic, fair and implementable recommendations that will be considered by both the executive and legislative arms of

Buhari seeks Senate’s confirmation of Abike Dabiri as chairman Diaspora Commission Wants DG ICRC, NBS board members, replacement of Bode Mustapha okayed

Tunde Opalana, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday sought Senate’s confirmation of executive officers and members of government agencies and parastatals including the appointment of Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa as the Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Diaspora Commission.

The President also nominated for Senate confirmation Engr.

Chidi Izuwah as Director General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC).

In a separate letter, Buhari’s requested the Senate to substitute Chief Olabofe Akeem Mustapha

with Mrs. Ronke Sokefun as chairman of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).

Buhari had in a letter dated October 23, 2018 said: “The Distinguished Senate is kindly invited to recall my earlier request for confirmation of the appointment of Chief Olabode Akeem Mustapha as the chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) vide letter dated 27th March 2018 (copy attached). You may also recall that the nominee is yet to be confirmed by the Senate.

“I now write to inform you of my decision to substitute Chief Olabode Akeem Mustapha

with Mrs. Ronke Sokefun as the chairman of the Governing Board”.

The President also requested the Constitution of the Governing Board of the National Bureau of Statistics by seeking the confirmation of the appointments of Dr. Kabiru Nakaura (North West) as chairman.

Other members of the board include Mr. Akinola Bashir (South West), Prof. Moses Momoh (South South), Wallijoh Danladi Ahijoh (North Central), Adam Modu (North East) and Nwafor Paul Chukwudi (South East).

For all the appointments, the President requested expeditious consideration of the Senate.

government.

“I am not surprised that the committee has worked for close to one year. I am also not surprised that on a few occasions, the debates got heated and sometimes, these differences came out. ”What is truly inspiring is that, in almost all instances of disagreements, the committee members always came back to the negotiating table with a common goal of improving the welfare of Nigerian workers. On behalf of all Nigerians today, I want to thank you for your commitment and sacrifice in getting us to where we are today.

“In the past few days, I have been receiving regular updates on your deliberations. And today, I am pleased that you have completed your work in a peaceful and non-confrontational manner.

The entire nation is grateful to you all.

“The Committee Chairman highlighted some of the challenges encountered during your deliberations, especially as it relates to having a consensus position acceptable by all parties.

I understand, on the government side, the concerns raised were around affordability – that today many states struggle to meet their existing salary requirements.

“On the side of labour, the points raised focused on the need for any increase to be meaningful.

In a way, both arguments are valid.”

President Buhari said as “the Executive Arm commences its review of your submission, we will continue to engage you all in closing any open areas presented in this report. I therefore would like to ask for your patience and understanding in the coming weeks. May I therefore, implore workers and their leaders not to allow themselves to be used as political weapons”.

In her address, Chairman of the Tripartite Committee, Ama Pepple said: “To arrive at our recommendation, the committee

carefully weighed the demand of the Nigerian workers which was predicated on the high cost of living occasioned by unfavourable exchange rate and rising inflation over the past few years, among other factors.

“The committee also considered the overall macro-economic indicators, including the revenue and expenditure profile of government as provided by the honourable ministers of Budget and National Planning and Finance as well as the Minimim Wage proposed by some state governments in their memoranda submitted to the committee.

“Consideration was also given to the critical role of the informal sector in employment generation and the need for a realistic minimum wage that will not stifle the growth of the sector and the overall economy.

“After carefully weighing these critical factors and bearing in the mind the overriding interest of the economy, the Committee while noting the offer of N24,000 by the Federal Government, is recommending an increase in the existing minimum wage from N18,000 to N30,000. We believe that the implementation of the recommended minimum wage, will, no doubt, boost the purchasing power of workers, increase consumption expenditure and ultimately stimulate business and overall economic growth.

“The committee has also produced a draft national minimum wage bill 2018 for condition by government. We strongly believe that the enactment of the draft bill into law is very critical to the operation and future reviews of the National Minimum Wage.”

The National President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba while briefing State House correspondents, said: “I think all of you are here and you have heard from the horses mouth. Every member of the committee signed the report.

Our recommendation is N30,000 and I think it is not hidden. It has been made public today and that is the recommendation that the committee has made to the President.

“When the N18, 000 was actually implemented in 2011, towards 2015, most of the states emptied their treasuries and therefore they had difficulty. If there is the will, we are certain that there will be a way out. All of us know that a number of factors have affected the purchasing power. The value of the N18, 000 then was almost N140 to the US dollar. So, the economic factor is very germane.”

Present at the meeting were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, and Director General of NECA among others.

Senate probes attempt on Ekweremadu’s life, wife, son

PDP demands wide range investigation as CUPP seeks sack of IGP

It’s burglary, not assassination attempt, says police

Henry Omunu and Andrew Orolua, Abuja, Abuja

The Senate on Tuesday ordered its Committee on Police Affairs to probe an assassination attempt on the Deputy Senate President, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu The upper chamber also charged the committee with the responsibility of finding out reasons for the lack luster response from the hierarchy of the Nigeria Police to report of assassination attempt on a high profile political office holder of the Deputy Senate President’s magnitude.

The development was sequel to a motion by Ekweremadu who came in under Senate Order 43 to report to the Senate how he, alongside his wife and a son, escaped assassination attempt in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Deputy President of the Senate said at about 4am on Tuesday, some armed men discreetly evaded the security at his Apo Quarters residence, to gain entry into the house.

He said the attackers, who could not immediately shoot in order not to attract the attention of the security personnel on duty, took hold of his son, and commanded him to lead them to his bedroom.

It was at the Senator’s bedroom that a struggle ensued, leading to the arrest of one of the assailants with dangerous weapons and housebreaking devices, while the rest of the attackers managed to escape.

Ekweremadu said he called the private line of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who did not pick the call, then called some of the aides to the IGP and later the Deputy Inspector General of Police in-charge of Operation, but without response from any of them.

He stated further that efforts to also reach the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in-charge of the Apo Legislative Quarters proved abortive, though an officer from the division visited to assess the situation.

To his dismay, he said “neither the IGP nor the DIG has returned my call. This is to show that nobody is safe in this country.

People should take to private security as government has failed to provide adequate security for the citizenry”.

But Ekweremadu did not give further details of the attack on the grounds that the Police are already investigating the matter.

Responding, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, berated the police for its rate of response to such an attack Saraki said: “It is disturbing that over seven hours after the attack, there has been no response from the police.

“The leadership of the police need to sit up and address the

spate of insecurity in the country”.

The Senate consequently asked its Committee on Police Affairs headed by Senator Abu Ibrahim to look into the matter and to probe why the police authority has failed to respond to the distress call.

The Daily Times recalls that Ekweremadu narrowly escaped an attempt on his life in Abuja on November 17, 2015.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concern that the latest attack raises fears that certain forces, who have been hostile to Ekweremadu’s political standing, are still bent on silencing him at all cost.

The party said Ekweremadu has been a subject of unrelenting harassments and attacks on his person and office since his emergence as Deputy Senate President, including the May 26, 2017 invasion of his official quarters by security agencies, purportedly in search of phantom caches of arms, and the July 24, 2018 siege of his official residence at Apo Quarters.

The PDP, in a statement made available on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said: “These were in addition to the invasion of the Senate chamber and carting away of the mace on the day Ekweremadu presided, in an otherwise very secure Three Arms Zone.

Consequently, the PDP demanded an immediate widerange probe into this particular attack as well as an assurance from the Federal Government on the safety of the Deputy Senate President, as the nation is not ready to accept any harm on his person or his family at this critical time.

Also, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has condemned the failed assassination on Ekweremadu.

The leading coalition of opposition parties in the country said the shocking armed raid is a sad development and a danger signal that homes and lives of key opposition leaders are no longer safe.

Considering the number of policemen on duty at the time of this foiled attack,the CUPP said it is also worrisome that the attack is coming months after a previous failed attempt on the life of the Deputy Senate President which was formally reported to the police but has not been investigated talk less of arresting the culprits.

While demanding that the arrested assassin be properly interrogated to ascertain the real sponsors of the failed move to harm the key opposition leader, the body raised the alarm that there is increasing bloody attack on key opposition leaders at the ward, LGA and state levels and nothing has been done to bring

the culprits to justice.

The spokesperson of CUPP, Ugochinyere Ikenga, in a statement made available on Tuesday, reads in part: “This careless act of treating the lives of opposition leaders at different levels like chicken is a dangerous signal that can derail the smooth conduct of the 2019 election.

“We wish to state again that the growing insecurity in the country which have seen murderous gangs springing up from different parts of the country is as a result of the lack of capacity by the outgoing Buhari regime to hang on to power at all cost thereby neglecting their basic constitutional duties of protecting lives and properties.”

Meanwhile, the Police has arrested one Mohammed Yusuf (of no fixed address), a native of Kauranamuda, Zamfara State who broke into the residence of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, at the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja.

While the police authorities said it was a case of burglary which is receiving its attention, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ekweremadu through his media assistant, claimed it was a case of a failed assassination attempt.

Police said in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Jimoh Moshood, on Tuesday in Abuja that one of the suspect - Ali, is at large and have been declared wanted.

“The residence of Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu on No 2, Jim Nwobodo Street, APO Legislative Quarters, was broken into by Mohammed Yusuf of Kauranamuda, Zamfara State, who was arrested at the scene and now in Police custody along with one Ali (other name unknown) who escaped from the scene at about 0430hrs of Tuesday, November 6, 2018.”

“The Police has commenced investigation into the crime and the principal suspect, Mohammed Yusuf of Kauranamuda, have volunteered confessional statement after interrogation admitting to the crime and mentioned one Ali (other name unknown) now at large, who escaped from the scene to have carried out the crime along with him.

“Exhibits recovered from them includes (i) Motor Jack (ii) Big Screw Driver (iii) A big Rod (iv) A small kitchen knife and other house breaking implements.

“Preliminary investigation carried out so far did not reveal assassination attempt on the life of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his family but a case of Burglary.

“However, investigation is still ongoing to determine if there is any other motive behind

the offence. The same suspects had earlier at about 0300Hrs broken into the residence of one Mr. Haliru Adamu of No. 38 Denis Osadebey Crescent, APO Legislative quarters where they stole phones, jewelleries and other valuables before proceeding to the residence of the Deputy Senate President”, the statement said.

“The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and Mr. Haliru Adamu have made statements to the Police about the two incidents.

“There was no delay in Police intervention in the incident that occurred in the residence of the Deputy Senate President. Four (4) Police personnel and One (1) personnel of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps on duty at the residence of the Deputy Senate President at the time of the incidence have been arrested and currently in detention for investigation for negligent acts and dereliction of duty.

“Investigation into the two cases are ongoing and the outcome is going to be made public and suspects will be prosecuted”, it added.

But early on Tuesday, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, had raised the alarm over an attempted assassination.

Senator Ekweremadu had said in statement by his Special Adviser, Media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, that himself, his wife and son have escaped an assassination attempt at about 4 a.m. on Tuesday.

He said some armed men discreetly evaded the security at Ekweremadu’s Apo Quarters residence to gain entry into his house.

“The attackers, who could not immediately shoot in order not to attract the attention of the security personnel on duty, took hold of his son, and commanded him to lead them to the senator’s bedroom.

“It was at the senator’s bedroom that a struggle ensued, leading to the arrest of one of the assailants with dangerous weapons and housebreaking devices, while the rest managed to escape.

“The arrested member of the gang has, however, refused to divulge any information on the operation and has been handed over to the police.

“Ekweremadu, his wife, and one of his sons were in the house at the time of the attack,” he said.

Anichukwu said that a similar attempt was made on the lawmaker’s life in 2015 but alleged that though the incident was reported to security agencies, nothing was done to that effect.

It would be recalled that Ekweremadu reportedly escaped an attempt on his life in Abuja on Nov. 17, 2015.

Why Atiku must be next president - Secondus, Saraki Tunde Opalana, Abuja The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus and the Senate President who is also the Director General of Atiku Presidential campaign committee, Dr. Bukola Saraki, have said that the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the party must regain power to save Nigeria democracy.

The duo spoke in Abuja when they inspected the party’s Presidential Campaign Offfice in Maitama, Abuja preparatory to the start of the nationwide campaign.

Conducting Saraki round the campaign complex, Secondus said that the rebranded and repositioned PDP is ready to go to Nigerians with issues when the campaign begins.

According to a statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, Secondus said that the party hopes to have a very successful electioneering just like its just completed primaries that was climaxed with the landmark National Convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Saraki said that everything

is set for the party to conduct one of the best presidential campaigns in history as Nigerians are anxiously waiting for the party.

According to Saraki, every hand must be on deck to see off the All Progressives Congress, APC, to save Nigeria’s democracy and rescue the country.

The Senate President was accompanied on the inspection of the campaign office by members of the National Working Committee of the party and other critical stakeholders of the party.

I’m sleepless over killings in Nigeria, Buhari laments Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is distressed and depressed by the atrocious ethnoreligious killings in the country, appealing to Nigerians to learn to live together in peace and harmony.

Receiving leaders of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) on Tuesday, at State House, led by Rev. (Dr.) Dachollom Datiri, Buhari urged religious, community and traditional leaders to do more in promoting peaceful co-existence among Nigerians at different walks of life.

He said: “As an organised institution (COCIN), I have no reason to doubt your report on the atrocities being committed in your communities including the killing of Idris Alkali, a retired MajorGeneral, the dumping of his car into a pond and the body of the deceased thrown into a disused well. ‘’The communities (in Plateau) have lived long enough to know that there is nothing they can do without each other than to live together in harmony. ‘’As leaders, we must persuade the upcoming generation, using every channel particularly the educational institutions, to live together with our neighbours,’’ the President said.

Buhari, who used the occasion to underscore the important roles religious leaders play in engendering peace, lauded the exemplary role of the Imam in Plateau State who risked his life to save hundreds of Christian families fleeing attacks, in June. ‘’It is not all Muslims that are against Christians and neither are

all Christians against Muslims.

The leadership in the respective religions have to work harder to make sure they convince the coming generation that they have to live together in the same country,’’ he said.

Buhari assured the Christian delegation that he will continue to exert pressure on the Nigeria Police Force to do the needful in protecting lives and property. ‘’In our security arrangement, the police is in the frontline in making sure that communities, irrespective of ethnic or religious bias, live together in peace,’’ he said, adding that Nigeria cannot afford to take its unity for granted and allow a return to the unfortunate perils of a civil war.

In his remarks, Datiri, while condemning the recent killing of an Army General in the state, chronicled recent attacks against Christian communities in Plateau and neighbouring states, resulting in the displacement of thousands of persons.

The cleric appealed to the Federal Government to ensure the safe return and rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to their communities, in addition to the rebuilding of places of worship destroyed in the unfortunate incidents.

The COCIN president also called on the Federal Government to take adequate measures in ensuring the release of Leah Sharibu and other abductees of Boko Haram terrorists.

Datiri also requested the President to use his good offices to persuade some Northern States to allocate land titles to Churches, in addition to directing the Ministry of Education to allow the teaching of Christian Religious Knowledge in schools in the region.

We’ll conduct credible elections in 2019 - NEC Moses Oyediran, Enugu The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mohmood Yakubu, has assured Nigerians that the commission is committed to conducting free, fair and credible in 2019.

Yakubu said this in Nsukka on Tuesday during the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) campus Outreach titled “Youths Votes Count” held at University of Nigeria Nsukka.

He said the commission has put in place processes that will help in delivering credible poll.

Yakubu said, “INEC is courageous in conducting free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria come 2019. The commission has put quality processes and procedures that will deliver credible, free and fair elections in 2019.

“With improvements in elections in the country, politicians now know that snatching of ballot boxes has become useless and that is why they have resorted to vote buying.”

Yakubu, who was represented by Dr. Festus Okoye, noted that young people have the capacity, energy and intellect to be involved in democratic process in order to positively influence and boost the country’s democracy.

“For the country’s democracy to advance, youths must channel their energy and intellectual capabilities in all electoral processes

that will result in free and fair elections.

“Youths are future leaders and the destiny of this country lies in their hands.

“Every youth should have his or her Permanent Voters Card (PVC), ready to vote on voting day and protect the vote,” he said.

In his remark, Ambassador Ketil Karisen, Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, said the aim of EU was to sensitise youth participation towards ensuring free, fair and credible 2019 general election.

“We are not supporting any candidate or political party but our concern is to ensure credible, free and fair election.

“Since 1999, the EU has spent over 100 million euros in support of elections in Nigeria.

“Nigeria is receiving the highest fund from EU because it’s most populated and biggest economy in Africa,” he said.

The ambassador urged youths to resist any attempt to use them as thugs or any inducement for them to sell their votes on Election Day. “Youths should resist any attempt to use them cause violence in 2019 general election.

“Youths should also sensitise people around them on danger of vote buying and should resist any attempt by some politicians to lure them in doing that”, he said.

Also, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Enugu State, Mr. Emeka Ononamadu, appealed to eligible voters to ensure that they participate actively in next year’s general

election.

Ononamadu said records available at his office showed low turnout of voters in at the last general election in the country.

“The last election had 1.4 million registered voters in Enugu State but only about 500, 000 people voted.

“Now for 2019 general election, 1.9 m voters have registered which is a sign that the residents are determined to drive democracy in the state”, he said.

Also his remark, the President of Students Union Government in UNN, Mr. Fortunatus Chimezie, praised EU and INEC for organising the event in UNN. Chimezie assured that students will vote wisely during 2019 general election and will not engage themselves in vote selling or election violence.

Earlier in his remark, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba, who was represented by the Vice Chancellor Administration, Prof. Charles Igwe, commended EU and INEC for organising the event, noting that UNN needed support to see that every youth vote wisely during 2019 general election.

Some awards winning artistes that graced the occasion include Uti Nwachukwu, award winning Actor/Television Presenter, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2baba, Chidinma Ekeli, Olubankole Wellington known as BankyW, and Ebuka ObiUchendu.

Short News Duchess Camilla advises women to support their peers Adebisi Oyindamola, Abuja The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla on Tuesday, urged Nigerian women to continue to be supportive of each other in their pursuit of social and political independence.

The Duchess who is in Nigeria for the first time with her husband, Prince of Wales, expressed satisfaction at the symbol of success and experiences the Nigerian women represented, encouraged them to forge ahead in pursuit of excellence.

The Duchess stated these in an interactive session with a group of women under the banner of Women of the world foundation, in Abuja.

Duchess Camille known for her passion for women rights, emphasized the importance of women embracing togetherness, irrespective of religious and social status, describing it as an important tool towards achieving desired success.

“I am fascinated listening all your stories and achievements, it is good that beyond age, race and religious barriers you can discuss things that affect you commonly.

“Nigeria is the best place to start talking about issues surrounding women like this,” she disclosed.

Murder of pastor, assistant, woman leader: ‘I assisted pastor with charm for hurch, but he forgot me’ Sunday Nwakanma, Umuahia Pastor Prosper Akachukwu has been arrested for killing one Pastor Blessed Iwuanyanwu and two of his church members.

Akachukwu has confessed to the crime.

A combined team of Police operatives from the Abia State Police Command and the zone 9 Police head hunters in Umuahia tracked down and arrested the suspect, alongside three others.

The suspect who said he hails from Mbaise in Imo state, said Iwuanyanwu who also hails from Mbano in the same state, was his childhood friend, adding that they both schooled in the same secondary and started ministering together as gospel preachers.

He said he killed Iwuanyanwu for allegedly abandoning him after helping him to grow his church through diabolic means.

“Iwuanyanwu was my childhood friend and we were also co-pastors. When he was having challenges in growing his church I took him a native a doctor in Ondo state to get

charms to attract members to his church and also perform miracles for them. I also gave him One hundred thousand to support him during the trip.

“We started the process in the year 2013 and we been going to the shrine to renew the charm every year since that year. But when the charm started working and Iwuanyanwu started making money he forgot him.

“Whenever I call him for financial assistance he would tell me not to disturb him, which was why I decided to attack and collect some of personal belongings”, he said.

Akachukwu who is now regretting his actions further added that he hired three assailants from Aba to help him execute his plans.

I hired three boys from Aba to attack the pastor. We trailed him to his house when he was going home and laid ambushed around his house, waiting to attack him at midnight.

“I was outside when the boys started the operation. They invited me in when they were through with the operation and I entered and found out that they have killed Iwuanyanwu and the two other people in the house’’, he said.

Speaking shortly while parading the

suspects, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Anthony Ogbizi disclosed that Police operatives, led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID in the state, Patrick Edung, had on Saturday October 20, 2018 uncovered the decomposing bodies of Iwuanyanwu, his assistance pastor, Ambassador Ikeagu kalu , and the women leader of his church, Pastor Ruth Andrews.

The deceased were pastors at the wind of Glory International Church, Ohokobe village within Umuahaia the state capital.

In statement made available to newsmen today (Tuesday), Ogbizi stated that one Sweeney Andrew had reported the sudden disappearance of one deceased (Ruth) who is her mother at the zone 9 head quarters on October 16, 2018.

The statement added the complainant had alleged that Pastor Iwuanyanwu came to their residence at Ehimiri Housing Estate, Umuahia on October 12, 2018 together with her mother and shortly left with her in his Infinity Sport Utility Vehicles with registration RSH 583 HZ for an unknown place.

The Buhari Campaign Organization (BCO) has distanced self from a letter described as ‘Fake’, purported to have emanated from the group soliciting for contracts from the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing.

The group is also demanding for an apology from the Director, Strategic Communications, President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Festus Keyamo for linking the said letter to the organisation.

Recall that Mr. Keyamo had recently stated that, “attention of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization has been drawn to a letter making the rounds by one self-styled “Buhari Campaign Organization”, addressed to the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing soliciting for jobs for certain named companies in order to “cushion the financial pressure on the Organization”.

In a statement signed by the National coordinator and National Secretary of the group, Alh Danladi Pasali and Mike Asatuyi respectively distanced itself from the letter, stating that it is self-funded and peopled by persons of verified Integrity.

2019: 25m disabled Nigerians back Atiku for president Tunde Opalana, Abuja The National Disability Empowerment Forum (NADEF), an umbrella organization for 25 million physically challenged Nigerians, has backed the candidature of PDP Presidential flag bearer in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar.

The endorsement was contained in NADEF’s letter of appreciation sent to Atiku Abubakar Tuesday in Abuja to thank him for donating N10 million to the nation’s Amputee Football Team which enabled the squad to represent Nigeria at the ongoing Amputee World cup Championship in Mexico.

In the letter signed by its President, Dr. Christopher Nwanoro, NADEF said “25 million Nigerians living with disability are solidly behind you come 2019.

“Your Excellency, we pray that the Almighty God will reward you greatly for your heart of gold towards people living with disabilities and humanity in general”.

Furthermore, the group said that Atiku’s donation “salvaged the situation, making it possible for the team to participate in the ongoing championship”.

Nwanoro, who himself is blind and is a beneficiary of Atiku’s scholarship scheme that saw him through his postgraduate studies, described the gesture as “another demonstration of Atiku’s love towards persons living with disability”.

Buhari, 2019 poll and matters arising

Chido Onumah

One thing supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari can’t deny is that many of those who oppose him today, almost three and half years after he was sworn in as the fourth president of the Fourth Republic, rooted for him 2015. Many of them are not politicians; they are not angry because President Buhari has blocked their illegal sources of wealth; and they are not people who have cases with anti-corruption agencies. I am one of them.

For this category of Nigerians, it was their belief in Nigeria and hope for an inclusive country and new ways of doing things that made them take that chance. After the Jonathan debacle, very few Nigerians imagined that the country could sink lower in terms of its leader’s capacity to understand and confront its problems. Expectations were high.

Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had made promises.

During the campaign, Candidate Buhari, without prompting, promised to declare his asset publicly on his first day in office and we believed him. The APC promised to address the vexed issue of national unity and integration and we trusted them. Four months after, journalists were still debating with Garba Shehu, the president’s Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, on the meaning of public declaration of asset.

It was in faraway Ghana, in September 2015, that President Buhari told curious journalists: “I have declared my assets and all that I have four times, and you (the media) have the right to go and demand for my declaration. Instead, I am being harassed.” I am sure if the president had made his asset declaration public, as he promised during his campaign, journalists would have saved him the harassment and embarrassment.

In July 2013, my colleague, Godwin Onyeacholem, and I, wrote a piece titled “2015: Why Buhari Matters.” In it, we argued that Mr. Buhari was perhaps the only politician who could defeat former president, Goodluck Jonathan. In another article in May 2015 titled, “President Buhari: Dead end or

the rebirth of a nation?” I argued, enthusiastically, that under Mr. Buhari, Nigerians didn’t expect it to be business as usual and that notwithstanding his foibles—“alleged provincialism and antecedent as a military dictator”—since corruption remains one of Nigeria’s biggest problems, perhaps, “President Buhari, ‘Mr. Anti-corruption’ can deal with corruption and get the Nigerian state to function.”

That has turned out not to be the case. As we have seen, President Buhari’s foibles are not superficial. They are ingrained. On the issue of corruption, I will allow Senator Shehu Sani speak on Mr. Buhari’s anti-corruption war. A preeminent party man, Senator Sani was in the APC until a few weeks ago when a combination of intrigues and highhandedness forced him to resign and join another party, the People’s Redemption Party (PRP). According to Senator Sani, “When it comes to fighting corruption in the National Assembly and the Judiciary and in the larger Nigerian sectors, the President uses insecticide, but when it comes to fighting corruption within the Presidency, they use deodorants.”

But, as we have noticed, fighting corruption should be the least of our concern under a president who seems to make a mockery of the very essence of our survival as a nation. The clear and present danger in Nigeria today is the existential crisis confronting it. Not since the civil war have Nigerians questioned their citizenship the way they have done in the last three and half years, thanks to a president whose philosophy and politics of exclusion and resentment, of “we vs them,” of “97 and 5 percent,” is redefining what it means to be a Nigerian.

President Buhari has foreclosed the prospect of any kind of meaningful conversation on Nigeria and its existential crisis. It will be an egregious folly to allow this indifference to go on for four more years. If Mr. Buhari wasn’t sworn in on May 29, 2015, he would have remained “the best president Nigeria never had.” Now that we have watched him painfully flounder, not knowing exactly what to do

and squandering the goodwill of a nation in search of direction, it would be catastrophic to reward him with another four years.

The 2019 election, therefore, will either be about enabling a tribesman or finding a patriotic alternative. As a people, we should be interested in President Buhari’s capacity—his ability to understand what the country needs—to steer the Nigerian state for four more years as he seeks a second term in the February 2019 general elections.

President Buhari may have good intentions, if you believe those around him. But again, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. For a nation in a hurry, President Buhari’s tardiness goes beyond the pale. It took him six months to appoint some of the same people he campaigned with, as ministers, creating uncertainty and imperiling the economy in the process. The security situation gets worse by the day and you scarcely hear any coherent response from the president.

It seems Mr. Buhari hardly knows what is happening around him. A few months ago, at the height of the murderous herdsmen/farmers crisis in Benue State, the president sent the Inspector General of Police to personally take charge of the situation.

When the president finally visited Benue State, after weeks of public outcry, and was confronted by residents who said the police chief was a no-show, he told a bewildered nation that he did not know that his police chief defied his orders. And, of course, he did nothing.

No wonder when asked in February what he would tell President Buhari if they met, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, replied: “I will say to him, Mr. President I think you are under a trance.”

There couldn’t have been a more apt description of a president we elected almost four years to take charge and pull the country from the brink. I don’t think President Buhari has woken up from that dream. What we have in place of an elected president is a space holder surrounded by a bunch of nefarious enablers.

President Buhari’s listlessness and nonchalance is only matched by his parochialism. Take his handling of the crisis at the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) or the appointment of a new head for Nigeria’s internal security agency, the Department of State Security (DSS). In August 2018, while President Buhari was away on medical vacation in the UK, the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo, sacked Lawal Daura the notorious director general of the DSS and Mr. Buhari’s kinsman after a botched DSS invasion of the National Assembly. He was replaced by Matthew Seiyefa, from Bayelsa State, the most senior director at the DSS. Mr. Seiyefa appeared, at least from media reports, to be doing a good job at his new post, clearing a backlog of unpaid allowances and repositioning the institution in accordance with equity, fairness and respect for the rule of law.

For someone who had been assailed for his manifest nepotism and utter disregard for the country’s diversity, it was expected that the president would allow the appointment to stand.

Not President Buhari. A month later, the president, predictably, had to recall “one of his own”, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, from retirement, to replace the acting president’s appointee.

It is an understatement to say President Buhari is stuck in the past. But if that alone was the problem, then it wouldn’t matter. The president has no notion of nationhood. He certainly needs a lot of lesson in running a modern, diverse and multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria. Unfortunately, it is too late.

The beauty of democracy—if we follow its tenets—is the prospect of peaceful and periodic transfer of political power. As a nation, let’s not be afraid to take our chances, to try something different. It may not always work out, but it deepens our sense of understanding and purpose.

We took our chance with Mr. Buhari in 2015 and it has turned out to be an unmitigated disaster.

Now is the time to move on.

Much ado about ember months

Bisi Kazeem

As a mother, Dr. Mrs. Farida Adelaja could not help but weep uncontrollably after watching a sitcom during the 9pm Network News bulletin on the inherent hazards of dangerous driving and other road vices. She shuddered with fright while reading the reaction from the Medical Doctor of Divine Touch Hospital Ibafo in Ogun State on the recent fatal crash involving a commercial bus belonging to the Young Shall Grow Motors along the Lagos – Ibadan express way, Ogun State in the early hours of Tuesday, 23rd October, 2018, killing 10 persons and injuring many other passengers, Dr Dotun Odofin, said “of the eight injured brought to the hospital, seven survived. He added, “The motor boy of the luxury bus, Ifeanyi Eze, died five minutes after ariving at our hospital. He was among the eight injured admitted to our hospital. His two legs were crushed. Six patients have been discharged because they had minor injuries, while one Togolese woman is still receiving treatment. The passengers said the driver had been reckless since they left Onitsha, Anambra State, for Lagos and they even called the company’s office to complain before the accident happened.”

According to The Ogun State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps who led a team of rescue operatives to the scene of the crash, Corps Commander Clement Oladele, said “the commercial bus conveyed 42 passengers. He, however, said nine people died in the crash, adding that eight passengers were injured”.

He said, “A total of 42 persons were involved in the accident, comprising 34 males and eight females. Three males and two female adults were injured, while seven males and two female adults died.” Oladele said the whereabouts of the bus driver was unknown.

Reacting further, The Chief Medical Director of OOUTH, Dr Peter Adefuye, said “nine bodies were brought to the hospital’s mortuary by emergency management workers”, adding that “some of the deceased could be members of the National Youth Service Corps”.

He said, “We learnt that the luxury bus rammed into a parked trailer on the highway. Nine bodies were brought to the mortuary; they had injuries.

“One had his head almost ruptured, while others had multiple fractures. It is possible that the deceased sat close to where the bus rammed into the trailer. Some of them appeared like youths on the NYSC scheme; they were in white tops and khakis. There were others in mufti.

“For now, the deceased are still recorded

as unknown. However, the medical and social departments, with the support of the Police, will search their luggage. If they have ID cards or any means of identification, we will trace their family members. This process will take one or two days.

We may have to contact their families if they don’t show up.”

These gloomy reflections were the preoccupations on the mind of Dr. Mrs. Adelaja as she lay bedridden in her room with feeling of relieve after surviving a near fatal lone crash which resulted to spinal cord injuries. Within the last 11 months, she has passed through the Doctor’s surgical knives for 5 times with scars which only brings unpleasant memories.

With occasional grunts; she recounts the painful experience of November 2014 which according to her was an unforgettable day of her life. A day which puts an abrupt end to all her plans and then confined her to a solitary bed and has to move with the aid of one of her children, Bimpe who has virtually stopped going to school in order to attend to her mother’s needs.

According to her “We had almost passed Katsinala when I heard a sudden sound which was followed by a burst tyre and the next thing I saw was our bus skidding off the road. I woke up later on a hospital bed with a strange numb feeling on my left leg. The nurse later told me that I was brought in by concerned Nigerians together with some other passengers who were involved in the near fatal accident and now, I can no longer use my left leg. It is very painful.” he said.

Also recounting an unpleasant experience during a trip started from the Kaduna Mando park at exactly 7.30pm in October of last year, Miss Ephraim Bassey ; a tomato seller who trades on perishable food items at the popular Uyo Central market, recalled from her hospital bed in Abuja that “the fatal crash which claimed 7 lives and left 4 other passengers on critical condition at the Intensive Care Unit of Unity Clinic at Kubwa, could have been averted if the driver had noticed the worn-out tyre on his vehicle before the night trip which has left me with a severe neck and back injury that made it difficult for me to sit down for too long. It was very ghastly and I was lucky to have lived through it.” she explained.

A common feature between Adelaja and Ephraim’s near death experience is the fact that both are hinged on the fact that both crashes occurred during the period which most people referred to as the ember month’s period.

The Ember months are usually referred to the

calendar months of September to December. These are the months during which a higher incidence of deaths and injuries occur through road traffic crashes due to the increased number of road users in the run up to the festive season are usually recorded and in the case of the Young Shall Grow bus, the attitude of the driver. As usual, the Federal Road Safety Corps has initiated a novel strategy towards imparting safety consciousness among road users across the country through the proposed flag-off of a nationwide robust public advocacy, intensive patrols and rescue services with the theme: “ Safe Driving Save Lives” . According to the FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, “ the reason for rolling out our annual safety awareness campaign drums in this manner is to tell motorists that road safety is the collective responsibility of everybody, we adopt the same operational and campaign focus across the various formations of the Corps in order to achieve uniformity and also conscientize road users and motorists to understand that road crashes do not have any special link to Ember seasons aside from the attitude of every road user and motorists alike. We also emphasis on the need for proper and regular vehicle maintenance and educate passengers on their rights to caution their driver in the event of any form of reckless driving.

Road Safety is a collective responsibility” Most worrisome is the generally held misconception which ascribes the spate of road crashes during the ember season to the activities of some spiritual forces which operate along designated routes of the nation’s highways with the primary motive of ‘sucking human blood” through road carnages which often result to untimely death of drivers and passengers of “targeted” vehicles plying the highways.

While debunking these claims, the FRSC Spokesman, Corps Commander Bisi Kazeem explained that “the insinuations that road traffic crashes are caused by spiritual forces is laughable and unfounded. The fact remains that over ninety percent of road traffic accidents are due to human causes. We have drivers who will refuse to obey traffic rules and regulations, drivers who despite knowing the dangerous consequences, will still go ahead and buy tokunbo tires and also drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol. So it is a combination of these factors that are responsible for the crashes you see on the roads and not any spiritual forces. Added to this trend is the reluctance of most drivers to do the routine morning checks on their vehicles before leaving home” It then follows that attitudinal syndrome

remains a determinant factor towards safer road use in Nigeria. Little wonder, the FRSC Corps Marshal Boboye Oyeyemi will always assert that “bad use of the road and not bad roads lead to road crashes” meaning that the driver’s acts of omission has a direct bearing on road crashes.

In trying to elucidate on the traffic peculiarities associated with the ember season, we will try to look at vehicle condition and vehicle accessories which will no doubt, equip vehicle owners with adequate knowledge on maintenance and proper use of vehicles in order to reduce avoidable road crashes, especially during the ember season.

UNDERSTANDING VEHICLE ACCESSORIES Every vehicle is provided with accessories whose state and condition is determined by the proper, correct or effective use of necessary accessories provided in such vehicles. Some of these accessories which every driver should understand how to work with include: a. Seat adjustment spring/knob b. Seat belt c. Steering d. Mirrors e. Dash board informative signs f. Gear lever g. Head lamp switch h. Trafficator/signal switch i. Hazard light switch j.

Pedals( brake, clutch and throttle/ accelerator) k. Horn button l. Dryer/defroster buttons m. Spare tyres, etc As pointed earlier, our driving attitude and not the Ember season is responsible for most crashes which occur between September and December.

As a driver, you are jeopardizing the lives of your passengers when you refuse to put on your seat belts only to hurriedly struggle with it on sighting FRSC operatives. As a passenger, you are supposed to be responsive and not passive when your driver exceeds the recommended speed limit by politely urging him to slow down before he kills you and other passengers. As the FRSC continues its nationwide advocacy towards safer road use during the Ember season and beyond, it is envisaged that all hands should be on deck towards achieving the Corps’ corporate strategic goals of reducing road crashes by 15% and fatalities by 30% by the end of the year, 2018.

Always note that only our positive attitude can change the trend of road crashes in Nigeria.

Editorial Commentary A country without ‘rubber bullets’

Times Guest Columnist Reuben Abati

Many years ago, I was in Abuja to attend an international workshop on one of those human development issues that used to engage a lot of attention in those days: sustainable development goals, maternal mortality, maternal morbidity, adolescent sexuality, women’s political representation, the Beijing declaration, HIV/AIDS reporting… Those were hot topics in those days as Nigeria tried to grapple with the challenges of the return to civilian rule and seek the consolidation of democracy and its ethos. I don’t remember what the topic was on that particular trip, but Nigeria owes many of the international agencies which at the time helped to mobilise civil society beyond elections to realise that every country needed to focus on both human development and human rights issues and mainstream same into the current of prevailing thought. But after such conferences and workshops, often attended by persons from other African countries and visiting technical experts we usually found a way of unwinding by exploring the cultural delicacies that Abuja had on offer. Abuja was much safer, much cleaner, far more innocent and politically saner then than it is now. Night life in the city was also busy. Obasanjo was President.

So, this night in question, we ended up in one of those bubbling night clubs in Abuja. I don’t remember the name of the club anymore, but I know the location. The year was 1999. The month was either November or December.

Glitzing lights, heavy-pounding music, generously made women and girls with heavenly features whose presence alone was an overdose of aphrodisiac, cigarette smoke wafting skywards, a mixture of scents: perfume and body sweat producing a peculiar smell you can only find in a night club, so much fun in the air, every one appearing to be happy even if the world outside by dawn would confront every dancing, smoking, drinking acolyte at the shrine of Bacchus, with sober realities. I didn’t mind.

Somehow, I got drafted to the VIP section. Most night clubs have a quiet corner, where the big boys relax, away from the din, in the company of all the best things on offer. I was dragged there by a guy who said he had recognized me, and he had been looking for me. He turned out to be a military officer, a Captain or something close to that. I detached myself from the group and joined him. He was in the company of other soldiers, also out in the evening to enjoy a break from the hard task of soldiering for Nigeria.

“Abati”, the guy called out as soon as we took our seats and a bottle of chilled Star Lager beer was presented before me.

“Well done, my brother. Nice meeting you”, I said, with my eyes and mouth focussed on the sweating bottle before me. As the bottle struggled to free itself from the imprisonment of a cruel refrigerator, my throat waited in anticipation.

“Abati. Why is it that you civilians can’t understand us, the Nigerian military? You don’t seem to get the point.

I read this your article on the Odi massacre and you were blaming the Nigerian Army.”

The Nigerian military quickly deleted the comparison with America. But further asked why it should use live ammunitions against protesters, the Nigerian military speaking through Brigadier-General Joseph Agim, took us back to that night in 1999. He told his interviewer, “we don’t have rubber bullets when we are sent on assignments. So, if any person that is not happy with the government wants to take on the military, then they should be ready for the consequence(s)…

Nobody can take on the military and they will not have casualties.” On the back of this statement by the army, a female Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police has also posted a famous message on Instagram to wit: “If you throw STONE, expect a bullet! Squad on mission! #Bosslady #protectiveservice. If you feel like joining the squad, say Hi.” What other evidence do we need, then of the disorientation of the Nigerian state and the cruelty of its officers? The army says it is licensed to kill. The police insist they too will kill, if any citizen does as much as

throw a stone. We must seek recourse to the Constitution.

The primary job of the military is properly spelled out under Section 217 (2) of the Nigerian Constitution: “(a) defending Nigeria from territorial aggression; (b) maintaining its territorial integrity and securing its borders from violation on borders from violation on land, sea, or air”. Section 217 (2) (c) further says the Armed Forces of Nigeria can be called in to supress insurrection and “act in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the president, but subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly ..” Section 218 provides a caveat by stating expressly that “the powers of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation shall include power to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation”. Was the National Assembly involved in the recent declaration of war against the Shi’ites by the Nigeria Army? Is or was Nigeria facing the threat of war from the Shi’ites? Could the “orders from above” have come from the highest levels?

Was it right to invoke Section 217 (2) (c )? I will argue that whereas Nigeria is meant to be under a democratic dispensation, the presence of the military, pointing to a covert re-miliitarization has been pervasive. Whereas Nigerians fought for civilian rule, the soldiers have remained in their face: in politics, at police checkpoints, virtually everywhere, even on election days. They don’t help to keep the peace internally. They shoot to kill.

The police whose responsibility it is to protect lives and property in Nigeria are helpless: they are under-staffed, under-equipped, and demoralized. It is a tragedy that they are now beginning to sound like soldiers.

The position of the law is that Nigerians have the right under Section 40 of the !999 Constitution to assemble and associate freely and peacefully. They don’t even need a police permit to do so as proclaimed in All Nigeria People’s Party vs. Inspector General of Police (2008), 12 WRN 65.Nonetheless, the Nigerian government continues to defy this law, “orders are continually issued from above” to frustrate not just Section 40 of the Constitution, but also Section 33 on right to life, Section 38 on right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, Section 39 dealing with the right to freedom of expression and the press, Section 42 on the right to freedom from discrimination, and Section 44 on the right to dignity of the human person. The rights of members of the Shi’ite movement in Nigeria have been violated on all of these counts. The vengeful use of live ammunitions against them is condemnable and barbaric. This was how Boko Haram began. Shi’ites crave martyrdom. It is a fundamental precept of their faith. Live bullets can only strengthen their resolve. The sustained attack on them in Nigeria has obvious implications: Nigeria must not on any account become a playfield for the global, sectarian war between Sunnis and Shi’ites or a theatre of live bullets against every little protest by ordinary citizens.

All things considered, Nigeria is in a sad place.

The citizens of a country that has no rubber bullets are endangered. It is a country under the weight of selfimposed terror, misrule and poor governance, indeed, a country against its people. In the last three years, Nigerians have been targets of live bullets in every aspect of their lives. Each time they complain, they get shot in the head. Poverty is widespread. Salaries are not being paid. Foreign investors are fleeing. Local investors are groaning. Workers are going on strike. The great art of living is dying. When the people groan, they are reminded that this government has no rubber bullets! A country where a bullet is valued more than human lives is sick.

I panic. The Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police are scheduled to provide security during the 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Will this translate into more casualties in 2019? The international community should advise the incumbent Nigerian government not to give “orders from above” for indiscriminate killings and the use of live bullets during the 2019 Nigeria elections. On that may well rest the future stability of Nigeria.

OUR POSITION

Out-of-school children and way forward

N

igeria with the current figure of 13.2million out-of-school children occupies first position on the table of countries with the highest number of out-of-school children in the world.

More worrisome is the fact that the figure instead of decreasing in the last few years is rather increasing.

This statistics which represent approximately 20 per cent of the world’s population of such children is an alarming and ticking time bomb that will spell doom for the country if urgent steps are taken by relevant authorities to address the situation.

We observe that governance in Nigeria has become a circle of family business where politicians secure the future of their children to the detriment of poor Nigerians.

Also, inadequacy of funding, lack of teaching tools and modern classrooms, poor numerations and the acute shortage of qualified teachers are some of the factors leading to the fall in the standard of education in Nigeria.

Recently, the Multiple Indication Cluster Survey report for 2016 (MICS 2016) revealed that out of the 11.5 million of out-of-school children in Nigeria, Northern states have the highest rate with an average of 69%.

The latest data MICS 2016 showed that out of the 11.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, 7.5.million (69%) are from the Northern part of the country. North east has the largest number of out-ofschool children followed by the North West.

With this number, Nigeria accounts for more than 1 in 5 number of out-of-school children globally and 45% of this number are from West Africa. Within the huge number of the out-of-school children, girls are the majority especially in Northern Nigeria.

Education indicators for Northern Nigeria are however different from the Southern part of the country.

Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on producing children who are well prepared to take their right place in the society but unfortunately, a large number of Nigerian children are at risk of deprivations of the basic social amenities.

Most of these children are situated in the rural and hard to reach communities. Majority of them are living in conflict and communities under emergencies, and it has been difficult taking basic amenities to them. All children have the right to better life, an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potentials without discrimination, bias or favouritism which cannot be over emphasised.

We also observe that the rising number of children engaged in street trading in our major cities is becoming a worsening the menace. The problem is further exacerbated by rising poverty and general insecurity in the country. In the North, the ravaging insurgency has added to the problem.

If drastic measures are not taken to correct the situation, things would only get worse. Let us learn from France, Britain, Canada and other advanced countries which built the foundation of their countries and rapid technological advancement on good and quality education. It must be pointed out also that in these countries, teachers are amongst the best paid workers. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case in Nigeria.

Having failed to fund public education, the children of the poor are roaming the streets, hawking goods while the rich are educating their children in private schools at home and abroad. But to the detriment of the society, the abandoned children of the poor are being recruited to criminality by terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal gangs. The irony of the crisis is that a government, which claims that it lacks money to fund education is spending several billions of naira to fight insurgency, kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry.

We believe that an uneducated population will be locked in a cycle of poverty for their entire lives.

Additionally, these children could constitute the next generation of suicide bombers and militants.

We are of the opinion that it is high time the government and relevant stakeholders address the problem frontally. It is sad that government’s free education for all pupils up to the first nine years of schooling has not been fully implemented. There is the need to increase the percentage of the annual national budget that goes to education. Schools should be adequately funded and the enabling environment provided for teachers and support staff to deliver functional and effective education to the children.The out-of-school children phenomenon should be squarely tackled in all its ramifications.

We submit that the improvement of the classroom environment is key to lowering the growing figures of out-of-school children in the country. We also wish to state that teachers must not only be well trained, their welfare must be prioritised while the Federal Government should muster the political will to adequately fund education.

PDP to Prince Charles: Counsel Buhari on Short News rights violations, political intolerance Gov Okowa mourns businessman, Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday urged the visiting British Prince Charles to caution President Muhammadu Buhari on the continued violation of human rights, siege on democratic institutions, political intolerance and stifling of opposition and free speech in the country under his administration.

The party also called on Prince Charles to take President Buhari to task on his administration’s “cavernous corruption, disobedience to court orders, as well as its divisive proclivities, aloofness and insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians leading to escalation of violence and killings in various parts of our country” in the last three and half years.

The PDP further urged the British leader

to counsel President Buhari not to attempt to rig the 2019 Presidential election but be ready to accept his imminent defeat in the polls, since it is clear that Nigerians have rejected him because of his incompetence and his administration’s apparent disdain for their safety and wellbeing.

The party’s national Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan in a statement said “the British leader is invited to note that the Buhari administration has reversed all the political and social gains made by Nigeria since independence while pushing the nation to the brinks with its anti-democratic tendencies and desperation to hang on to power beyond May 29, 2019.

“The Buhari administration has completely eroded the values of freedom of association, personal liberty, free speech, national cohesion, free enterprise, political tolerance and our stencils for economic growth.

“Instead, it has plunged our nation into

avoidable security challenges and the worst economic recession, with attendant daily bloodletting, acute hunger and starvation, escalated joblessness, high mortality rate and unprecedented stress on families.

“Under the Buhari failed administration, our nation, once known for her robust economy and a happy citizenry, has become the home to world poorest persons; where opposition is an endangered species and where citizens daily fall victims of arbitrary killing and mass burials, extra-judicial executions, illegal arrests and detention, extreme torture and reported disappearances, as captured in the reports by various world bodies”.

The PDP therefore called on Britain to take a decisive steps to caution the administration and assist in rescuing our nation and returning it to the path of good governance and national stability, which has eluded her in the last three and half years.

Senate committee bemoans low budgetary allocation to Environment Ministry, agencies The Senate Committee on Environment has bemoaned low budgetary allocation to the Federal Ministry of Environment and some of its agencies, calling for more financial support to assist them in the discharge of their responsibilities.

The Chairman of the committee, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, stated this when she led members of her committee on a courtesy visit to Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, in Ibadan, as part of the committee’s oversight function to the state, on Tuesday.

Tinubu, who expressed particular concern about Forest Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN), Ibadan, an agency under the ministry, which she said had done tremendous work in the area of aforestation as a remedy to natural challenges occasioned by loss of trees to industrialization.

She said, “The budgetary allocation to the Federal Ministry of Environment is very low, while the research institutes under the ministry are also in dire need of funds in order for them to operate optimally.

“To mitigate the effects of climate change, the research institutes are important and have a lot to do, especially in the areas of flooding, desertification and even the gully erosion that is fast ravaging the South-East.

“They need proper funding to operate optimally for seedlings and other areas that are paramount in the research process.

So, government has to look into that while Nigerians have to be shown the advantages of

the work of the ministry.

“Recently, the weather has been very hot as a result of climate changes, but here in Nigeria, we are blessed with trees which can do so for us in the area of stopping erosion.”

She said that the ministry and its agencies were in the eyes of the world organizations like UNESCO and the United Nations and would serve the nation better, if properly funded.

Tinubu, while noting some of the challenges facing the environment, however said rather than being discouraged, efforts should be made to confront the challenges, adding “they (challenges) are many but are surmountable with proper funding and legislative monitoring.”

The Senator later presented the new Act that would enable smooth operations of the ministry and its agencies and help in combating the negative effects of climate change, to the governor.

In his response, the governor called for support for the ministry of environment at the federal and state levels, as well as their agencies to help them face the challenges of nature.

The governor said there were inter-related opportunities between the ministry of environment and the ministry of agriculture.

She added that they both had positive effects on humanity in terms of ameliorating the effects of climate change on the environment, financial empowerment to farmers, and job

opportunities for the young populace.

Ruing the negative effect of flooding on the lives of the people, Ajimobi noted that Ibadan metropolis had suffered a lot from natural disasters before the emergence of his administration due to low funding for the state ministry of environment and its agencies by successive administrations.

The governor said that the state had escaped the annual destructive impact of flooding since 2012 due to the proactive measures taken by his government to forestall flooding.

He commended the committee for legislating on the regulatory acts which, he said, would ensure that the ministry and its sister agencies operated without hindrance.

Ajimobi said, “The new Act enabling the ministry of environment and its agencies to operate with high impact on the society has come at a very good time when the whole world has been waiting for this kind of succour to mitigate effects of flooding, heat and desertification.

“It is imperative to give our support to the ministry of environment and its agencies because of their impact on our survival.

“The three tiers of government must make it paramount to fund these institutions for our own sake. Look at our situation in Ibadan we have been able to conquer flooding due to our concentration on funding and monitoring of projects on dredging, construction of bridges and regulations on indiscriminate dumping of refuse.

Short News Obasanjo’s endorsement springboard for Atiku’s presidency - Tapgun Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos A former Governor of Plateau State, Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun, has said General Olusegu Obasanjo’s endorsement on Atiku Abubakar’s candidature as presidential flag bearer, under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is a springboard to winning the 2019 presidential election.

Tapgun stated this while reacting to the state of the nation, saying that Atiku’s fence mending with Obasanjo could not have come on a better time as this.

“Obasanjo’s endorsement is very significant; he has worked with Atiku for eight years, although as human beings they have their ups and downs and it lingered for too long and for all this period, he has said he will not support Atiku for anything but as God may have it, things turned around; more so that everybody is tired of Buhari including the former military leaders, all of them are saying that Buhari must go. So for the interest of this country Obasanjo has to let his grievances go by doing what he has done.

“The military cannot be ignored in the politics of this country because they have stayed in power for a very long time and have created a lot of institution. If you ignore them you will run into a lot of trouble and I believe that was why everything was done to get Obasanjo to support the candidacy of Atiku”.

Employ qualified personnel to train teachers, LASU Don tasks govt Stories: Esther Taiwo A Professor of Applied Linguistics, Educational Sociolinguistics and Cyber Discourse at the Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University, Ojo, Prof.

Adeleke Fakoya, has noted that for government to get good returns on expenditure on education at all the stages and at both Federal and State levels, government should employ qualified and highly informed personnel in the training of teachers who will in turn pass on the acquired knowledge to their students.

Fakoya stated this while delivering the 68th

edition of LASU inaugural lecture series titled “What Does This Babbler Want to Say? at the Main Auditorium of the University in Ojo, on Monday.

“As often as possible, government should ask educationists, researchers, and university professors in relevant disciplines to submit proposals on pedagogic content, methodological competence, communication skills, technological know-how and emotional intelligence as they relate to the practice of education in schools”, he said.

He also advised Government to try to unify the public service system across the states in Nigeria, so that teachers can have an elevated sense of belonging and improved self-esteem and consequently higher

productivity.

According to him, every teacher must be sent on a training programme at least once annually and must be encouraged to acquire a higher degree in his or her subject discipline.

To the teachers, Prof. Fakoya urged them to make self-development an obsession, adding that lecturers should not allow their students to surpass them in the acquisition of knowledge and information.

To the students, the inaugural lecturer urged them to study more than they play while advising parents not to leave the education of their children in the hands of teachers, stressing the need for them to get more involved.

Covenant University stresses importance of good leadership to African devt A former President of the Republic of Malawi, Dr. (Mrs.) Joyce Banda, has said that Africa would be able to tackle its socio-political and economic development challenges if majority of leaders on the continent had the will to fight corruption.

Dr. Banda, the Special Guest of Honour and Keynote Speaker, had at the opening session of the 4th Covenant-International Conference on African Development Issues (C-ICADI 2018), said only a handful of African leaders were imbued with the character to take on corruption headlong as majority of the leaders merely paid lip service to the issue of fighting corruption.

“What Africa needs are inclusive governments and honest leaders to fight corruption. As a former President, I know what it is to fight corruption; when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.

Because some of these people have stolen so much, they fight back with the money. So, Africa needs to identify potential leaders to be motivated,” Dr. Banda explained.

While speaking on the theme of the conference, ‘The Challenge of Leadership: Driving Africa’s Future’, the Keynote Speaker, who noted that the objective of the conference resonates with her own life experience, said the ability to lead a nation required wisdom, education and vision. She revealed that the result of a research conducted by her as a Fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, confirmed the long-held belief that all leaders were born with 30% leadership traits while the other 70% was acquired overtime.

Dr. Banda said myriad of challenges in Africa had prevented many people from fulfilling their leadership potentials, however, a significant picture of Africa had started to emerge in the last two decades. “By my observation, in addition to political reform, Africa’s economy is becoming diversified in the health, financial, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors among others,” she stated.

Africa, she posited, needed leaders with innovative strategies to spark development. She stated further that governments of African countries needed to leverage on their immense resources, explore agriculture, invest in education, intensify their efforts in trade and investment, the political will to drive economic governance, and to grow and expand private investment.

The Keynote Speaker, who decried the low level of participation of African women in leadership, said it was her hope that decision makers would put more efforts in educating the girl-child so that Africa could have more women take leadership positions in the continent. She, however, asserted that despite challenges faced by women, they had managed to rise to leadership positions, for instance two women as President of African countries compared to other parts of the world.

Earlier, while delivering his welcome remarks at the event, the Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents, Covenant University, Dr. David O. Oyedepo, said the purpose of C-ICADI was to gather thinkers together to forge a way forward for Africa. He recalled that the three previous editions of C-ICADI had failed to produce tangible results despite the involvement of some of the world’s great personalities, for instance, two Nobel Laureates.

“Africans are known for great and excellent presentations that had not led to anything. It’s time to think, take stock and think through. The greatest challenge of Africa, which has been presented many times, is leadership,” he stated.

The Chancellor, who noted that the African Leadership Development Centre (ALDC), venue of the C-ICADI, was established to address issues bordering on leadership, said rebranding Africa through C-ICADI had become imperative. He added that there was the need for the rise of thinkers in Africa to help think the continent’s way through as no system could ever outgrow the knowledgeability

of its leader.

According to the Chairperson of the 4th C-ICADI, Ms. Cecilia Akintomide, leadership was one of those concepts that could not be missed when present, and when absent or abused, the results were unmistakable, with far reaching consequences.

The Independent Non-Executive Director of First Bank Holdings pointed out that leadership was relational and situational, and given that leadership was situational, it was important that leadership programmes be developed that were suited to the African environment and the challenges faced by people on the continent.

While highlighting the power of a leader, Ms. Akintomide said a leader has the capacity to galvanise others to action towards bringing about a desired change or achieving a common goal, a leader produces other leaders, a leader leads the follower, while followers follow but know when to raise a red flag and/or stop following.

Apparently in line with situational leadership, Ms. Akintomide, who is the immediate past Vice-President and Secretary General of African Development Bank, emphasised that education was key to creating pipeline of leaders, curriculum must be relevant to the African environment, and students must develop solutions to challenges facing the continent.

The Vice-Chancellor, Covenant University, Professor Anthony Atayero, in his remarks, said the conference was coming at a time when there seemed to be an urgent need for a paradigm shift in the leadership culture of Africa. While noting that the current human development index of African nations after decades of independence leaves much to be desired contrary to the lofty post-independence expectations of nations in the continent, he regretted that today, several of them were still challenged with underdevelopment.

Developing leaders, our core vision - Olashore Int’l School CEO The Chief Executive Officer/Principal of Olashore International School, Iloko Ijesha in Osun State, Mr. D.K Smith, has disclosed that developing leaders is one of the Founder’s vision and has since been put into consideration in order to produce future leaders in character and in learning.

He said this at the press briefing held at the School’s Liason Office, Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, as part of activities marking its 25th Anniversary where he unveiled a new logo of the School.

The School which was founded on February 18th 1994 and has since then produced successful alumni. The logo had the School’s original logo that represents royalty and beneath is an inscription that describes Olashore as a school that develops leaders.

“Fulfilling the founder’s vision, developing leaders, is what motivates all staff and students at Olashore International School and this passion is rewarded when we see the success of students who have progressed to universities within Nigeria and abroad”, he said.

He said one key focus of the school is that their students can go anywhere around the world and do well thus representing the school well.

“What we are doing is not just passing exams but all round success. After 25 years, we are looking for people who have passed through the school and yet become outstanding in their chosen career. For instance, amongst lots of our Alumni that are doing well are Mr. Obinna Okwodu who bagged the award of the Most Promising Entrepreneur by Forbes, Mr. Bode Olanipekun who is the Nigerian’s Youngest SAN, amongst others. Our First Head Girl went to the University in 1999 and graduated with good grades, today she is the First Female Operations Manager for Nestle Nigeria Plc. We pride ourselves in all round success, beyond the classroom.

“The Speech and Prize Giving Day ceremony coming up next week will also provide an opportunity to see how well our students are doing and appreciate them. Our goal in the school is to ensure that our students make their International exams. We set International standards. We are proud that we have been achieving success for the past 25 years,” he explained.

Similarly, the Chairman Board of Trustees, Prince Abimbola Olashore stated that the school was borne out of necessity to give children the best education, and he is glad that academic excellence and allround success beyond the classroom has been the Olashore story for the past 25 years.

He pointed out that in the phase of recession in 2016, the school was able to survive due to certain factors put in place.

“We are always prepared to meet the needs of students and meet the expectations of parents, and this the reason in the phase of recession, we demonstrated value for money, we were mindful of what stakeholders were going through in order to adjust, we absorbed certain cost structure rather than passed down to students’ fees, invested significantly in our environment, retained the confidence of parents, intensified marketing abroad and expanded the scope of scholarship for existing parents in order to make the school fees affordable. These helped us scale through the recession successfully. Here we are celebrating the school’s 25th Anniversary in spite of the ups and downs.”

He further explained that “what a child will becomes in life is determined by the character of how he or she exudes between the ages of 10 and 16. So if things are done right and the right values impacted in the child, it is most likely that the child will do well in life because these core values will help them as they go through life. This is the reason we lay claim to the success of alumni whenever they succeed anywhere around the world”.

Olashore International School has a mission to get committed to academic excellence, nurture each child to their full potentials in a safe and serene environment, develop leaders for the dynamic global society in the 21st century, which they have all portrayed in the past 25 years.

The School has unveiled series of upcoming events to celebrate its 25th Anniversary to include Speech &Prize Giving Day, Anniversary School Play, Founders Day, Alumni Events, Anniversary Lecture, Book Launch and Valedictory service.

Greenfield projects failure: BudgIT calls for probe of crude oil refineries in Nigeria Motolani Oseni Following a new proposal to construct two 100,000 bpd Greenfield refineries in Delta and Imo States by Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), BudgIT, a civic technology organization has asked the Federal Government to first do a root cause analysis on the abandonment of Nigeria’s greenfield refineries earlier announced for Kogi, Bayelsa, and Lagos States for which feasibility studies had already been fully paid for and completed.

BudgIT, which is it at the forefront of raising the standards of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability in the country, said it is wrong for any government institution to tease citizens with announcements for greenfield crude oil refineries, award huge sums for feasibility studies , abandon the project when it’s time for construction, then repeat the cycle in another state.

In a document obtained by The Daily Times, BudgIT’s Principal Lead, Gabriel Okeowo, queried if there is any guarantee

that taxpayers’ money earmarked for the refineries in Imo and Delta state will not suffer the same fate as those spent on Kogi and Bayelsa States?

According to him, “What are the lessons learned from Kogi, Bayelsa, and Lagos greenfield projects? Can these lessons be made public?”

He explained that NNPC exports a large portion of the 445,000bpd of crude oil allocated to domestic refineries through Crude Oil Lifting contracts (COL) primarily due to (1.) NNPC’s inability to make existing refineries work – despite monies spent on turn around maintenance, and (2.) the failure of NNPC’s new, greenfield refineries to see the light of the day – despite monies spent on them.

“In the past, NNPC has been accused of carrying out its export of unused Domestic Crude Allocation (DCA) through politically-connected middlemen – many of whom do not have adequate capacity to handle the volume of crude oil in their Crude Oil Lifting contracts but directly extract rent and pass the contract on to those who do.

“The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, had previously promised to cut out the rentseeking middlemen in the award of Crude Oil Lifting contracts and also to cut down the number of contractors to sixteen (16) when he was the GMD for NNPC.” Okeowo, however, added that at the inception of this administration, the government made some effort to cut out middlemen in the award of Crude Oil Lifting (COL) contracts.

“We observed a drop in the number of COL contractors from about 43 in 2014 to 27 in 2015 and then to 21 in 2016. However, their numbers grew to 39 in 2017 and to 50 in 2018. Citizens need to pay close attention especially as a part of the Diezani scandal was rooted in the activities of some briefcase companies who got Crude Oil Lifting (COL) contracts.”

BudgIT, however, calls on citizens, civil societies, journalists, and media influencers to #AskQuestions about Nigeria’s greenfield refineries every step of the way.

BudgIT also tasked NNPC to do a

weekly or monthly briefing to citizens specifically on progress and challenges of its greenfield projects as the failure of greenfield refineries to see the light of day opens up many complex loopholes for corruption in the long term.

The civic technology organization said it will not fail to commend NNPC for publishing its monthly Financial and Operations Report online since the inception of this administration. Such monthly reporting is worthy of emulation by other government agencies in the sector.

“We’d like to call on NNPC’s management to reduce the time lag involved in making these reports available.

As of October 30th, its report for the last four months (June – September) is not yet available online.

BudgIT also, charged all political parties not to weaponize data concerning the oil and gas industry in the run-up to May 2019 elections, but use data as a tool for dialogue to seek long-lasting reforms.

Many problems in the oil and gas sector are complex and have defied solutions across multiple governments.

Nigeria tops Africa’s diaspora remittances list – Emefiele Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele has disclosed that Nigeria is on top of Africa countries and ranked five globally in the global fund remittances by migrants which World Bank’s estimate put at $613 billion in 2017.

Speaking in Abuja at the opening of the workshop on remittances household survey, Emefiele said out of about US$613 billion global remittances recorded in 2017, US$72 billion was received by African countries.

Represented by Dr. Mohammed Tumala, the bank’s Director of statistics department, Emefiele regretted that, despite inflow of huge remittance to African countries by migrants, lack of adequate data makes capturing of remittances a difficult task .

“Remittances inflows contribute substantially to foreign exchange earnings and household finances in most developing economies. Money sent home by migrant workers is among the major financial inflows to developing countries and in some cases it exceeds international aids and grants”.

“According to the World Bank, global remittances have risen gradually over the years to about $613 billion in 2017, of which $ 72 billion was received by African countries.

As a recipient country, Nigeria tops African countries and is also ranked among the top five globally”, said the governor.

He described the workshop as timely, saying it seeks to contribute to the improvement in the quality of remittances data, and consequently policy decisions that are based on them.

He recalled steps taken by Nigeria over

the years to attract remittances inflow and its economic contributions to the development of the country .

Such steps identified by CBN governor included, floating of $300 million diaspora bond, introduction of electronic certificate of capital importation to Nigerians in the diaspora; the appointment of a Special Adviser to the President on foreign affairs and diaspora matters and Nigeria becoming a member of the international association of money transfer network.

Emefiele said it was high time compilers of the remittances inflow adopt more effective method of computing remittance household survey data.

“Compilers of remittances statistics in the country use both banking records as well as staff estimates of informal inflows.

This methodology is not without limitations

as we think that a large chunk of migrants’ remittances pass through informal channels and are, thus unrecorded. Nigeria is yet to conduct a household based remittances survey to provide scientific estimates of these informal flows. In addition, data from banking records also come with some discrepancies due to classification challenges on the part of the reporting institutions”, noted CBN governor.

In a welcome address by Dr. Emmanuel Olowofeso, Deputy Director in statistics department of CBN, he said the bank with the support of African Institute for Remittance in conjunction with National Bureau of Statistics and National Population Commission are formalizing structures necessary for the conduct of a Remittances Household survey being planned for first quarter of 2019.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts, Senator Shehu Sani has commended the FCT Administration over the success achieved on the Abuja Light Rail project, saying it has put Abuja in good stead and in conformity with other cities of the world.

Senator Sani made these commendations when members of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts paid an oversight visit to the FCT Administration on Monday, November 5, 2018.

The Committee Chairman, who appeared in doubt over the local content aspect of the project, said it would be more beneficial to have Nigerians fully involved in the implementation and operation of the railway project.

The FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa however allayed the fears of the Committee in this regard, noting that consultants handling the project were mainly Nigerians with many FCT engineers working with the Chinese to deliver on the projects.

The Minister said the commencement of railway services is already stimulating investments on the railway corridors and helping to develop the capacity of some young Nigerians in railway technology, operations and ancillary services.

The Minister stated that one of the various benefits from the railway project is the ease of transportation for those living on the lines of the Phase 1, while noting that each of the stations already in operation has made room for clusters of economic activities such as retail trade, estate development and other forms of investments.

His words, “A new crop of young Nigerians are being trained to manage the railway value chain. Some local indigenes from around the railway corridor have been sent to China to learn railways technology, management. To the Federal Capital Territory, the huge multiplier values derivable from the utility will be of immense benefits both for now and for the future.

It is of interest to note that there are Nigerians, even women, now driving the locomotives”.

2019 budget: FG seeks Senate approval of 2019 - 2021 MTEF Tunde Opalana, Abuja Desirous of bringing the 2019 budget preparation process to timely closure, the Federal Government has submitted for Senate approval, a two year (2019-2021) Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

President Muhammad Buhari’s request was contained in a letter dated 29th October, 2018 read at plenary to the senate by its President, Bukola Saraki.

The letter contains the 2019-2021 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP).

“I write to submit the 2019-2021 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) to the distinguished senate.

“Pursuant to provisions of the fiscal responsibility act 2007, the preparation towards the submission of the 2019 budget to the national assembly is progressing well. The MTEF and FSP were prepared against the background of a generally uncertain economic environment as well as fiscal challenges in the domestic economy to ensure the planned spending is set at sustainable levels and is consistent with overall government developmental and inclusive growth.

“I hereby forward the 2019-2021 MTEF/FSP to this senate and trust that it will be considered to bring the 2019 in order to bring the 2019 budget process to timely closure”, the letter read.

Rapidtransfer App: Ecobank offers zero fees on international transfers Ecobank Nigeria has introduced zero fees for all transfers done into Nigeria on its newly launched Rapidtransfer app.

The bank’s Managing Director, Patrick Akinwuntan, who announced this in Lagos said “Ecobank is poised to ensure Nigerians in the diaspora get the best in class remittance service.

We want to make it easy for Nigerians living abroad to send money to their loved ones at home instantly. Transfers on the Rapidtransfer app are at zero fees from now till 31st January 2019.”

Further, Mr. Akinwuntan reaffirmed that the Ecobank Rapidtransfer app which follows a tradition of leadership in digital banking in Africa is designed to enhance remittances to Africa by drastically reducing cost, while also tackling the long, burdensome and inefficient processes Africans abroad face when sending money to their home countries.

The bank’s Managing Director urged Nigerians to tell their relatives abroad to take advantage of this new and innovative means of remitting hard earned monies home. In his words “Many Nigerians work abroad and financially support their relatives back home. The app is a safe and secure low-cost remittance solution, which ultimately will put more money into the hands of the recipient as there are no charges deducted”.

Thomson Reuters unveils Refinitiv, awards West Africa customers Sam Nze As part of its strategy of giving customers the best, Thomson Reuters has launched its new brand identity, renamed its financial and risk business unit, ‘Refinitiv’.

This was disclosed at the West Africa Excellence Awards recently organised in Lagos to appreciate its existing customers who have in no small measure patronised and contributed to the success of the company.

This new brand identity became necessary after the completion of a partnership deal with a consortium of investors led by Blackstone, who now owns 55 percent of the new business. The stand-alone business which includes the largest multi-dealer forex platform, with a daily average of $400 billion traded on FXall, FX Trading and Matching-was the outcome of a deal whereby Thomson Reuters sold a 55 percent stake in its Financial and Risk business to private equity firm Blackstone.

Tagged the ‘Excellence Awards’, this award, the first of its kind in West Africa, had six (6) categories through which the customers with remarkable imparts and outstanding performances were rewarded.

Described as the ultimate form of recognition of the organisation’s customer excellence, the annual Excellence Awards highlight the great work being done by financial markets participants. Of the six awards, the Peoples’ Choice Award was given priority because attendees had to vote at the venue of the event. This award was carted by Mr. Ini Ebong of First Bank Nigeria for his respected contributions to the industry.

Others who emerged winners are Bola Onadele Koko, the MD/CEO, FMDQ Securities Exchange who also received two (2) awards-The Best Partner Award and the Innovation awards for embracing disruption with new ideas; Mrs. Ibukun Oyedeji of Ecobank who got the Most Impactful Business Award, and Mr. Jacob Brobbey of the Barclays Bank of Ghana who clinchéd the Embracing Technology award.

Managing Director for Africa, Thomson Reuters’ Refinitiv, Sneha Shah, said: “We are very excited to be bringing the Excellence Awards for the first time in West Africa. What is going to drive the success and growth of our economy is committed individuals and companies that are contributing to strong and stable financial systems and institutions. The inaugural 2018 West Africa Excellence Awards will recognize and highlight the great work of individuals and companies who amongst many outstanding nominees were selected, by the independent judges, as the ones producing the most impact for West Africa’s financial markets.”

Speaking at the event, the Deputy Governor, Economic Policy, Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Okwu Joseph Nnanna, represented by Dr. Alvan Ikoku x-rayed Refinitiv supportiveness to CBN, and to the Nigerian Capital Market.

“Thomson Reuters Refinitiv has been a dependable partner of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other financial institutions within West Africa sub-region in developing support for financial products and information. In 1999, when the CBN introduced inter-bank foreign exchange system of trading (FEM 2 Way Quote Trading System), Refinitiv rose to the challenge of installing trading terminals and training dealing room staff across, the banking industry to actualize the operation of the new system. This support to the industry is still been sustained till date, and even at a faster and more efficient level,” he stated.

NDIC reiterates commitment to safeguarding depositors, effective banking supervision Explains why CBN revoked licenses of 154MFBs, 6PMBs Motolani Oseni Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has reiterated its unflinching commitment to safeguarding bank customers’ deposits, as well as collaborating with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to ensure effective banking industry supervision.

Speaking at the NDIC special day at the ongoing 2018 Lagos international trade fair on Tuesday, the Managing Director, NDIC, Umaru Ibrahim, noted that the corporation will continue to work closely with the CBN to ensure strict adherence to rules and regulations guiding banking operations.

The NDIC boss, who was represented by the Head, Communication & Public Affairs, NDIC, Mohammed Kudu Ibrahim, stated that the corporation is determined to protect depositors in the domestic financial system against fragrant disregard of extant rules by management of financial institutions in terms of stalling the occurrence of unlawful insider

dealings, weak internal control and overall noncompliance to prudential guidelines.

He explained that the NDIC, in collaboration with other stakeholders, will continue to promote good corporate governance in the nation’s banking system.

According to him, as you are all aware, the CBN recently revoked the license of 154 Microfinance Banks (MFBs) and six Primary Mortgage Banks (PMBs) due to their solvency.

“The action became necessary due to the erosion of their capital base, poor liquidity, inept management, as well as some insiders helping themselves with loans they never intend to pay back, and further worsened by the boisterous lifestyle of management that remained at variance with the philosophy of microfinance banking operations.”

He, however, pointed out that the corporation has commenced verification of insured depositors in fulfillment of its core mandate.

“From the record obtained so far, majority of the depositors especially in the

MFBs, have less than N200, 000 in their accounts, which implied that the NDIC will hopefully cover 1000 per cent of the deposited funds in the MFBs.” Speaking on the changing landscape of the Nigerian financial sector brought to fruition the broadening dimension of Mobile Money Operators (MMOs) in Nigeria, adding that this effectively altered the scope and depth of regulatory/ supervisory interventions, the NDIC remains resolute in its determination to safeguards depositors’ funds.

As it stands, the number of licensed MMOs by the CBN is currently 23, with eight being “Bank-Led” and the remaining 15 “Nonbank led”.

“As at 2017 year end, the number of accounts in the MMOs stood at over 153 million. The NDIC provides deposit insurance coverage to subscribers of MMOs to the maximum limit of N500, 000 through the Pass-Through Deposit Insurance Framework. this is to further promote financial inclusion drive across the broad spectrum of the Nigerian economy”, he explained.

Edo Assembly passes N10.8bn Supplementary Budget Ladesope Ladelokun The Edo State House of Assembly on Monday in Benin City, passed into law, t N10,874,000,000 Supplementary Budget for the year 2018 fiscal year, and not ‘N160 extra budget’ billion as erroneously reported by some of Nigeria’s newspapers on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

With the N10,874,000,000 supplementary budget passed into law by the Edo State Legislature, the total budget size of the state for the year 2018 stands at N160,967,330,443.52, being the combined figures of the initial N150.093 billion passed and signed into law last year by Governor Godwin Obaseki, and the N10,874,000,000 passed

into law on Monday, November 5, 2018.

Recall that Governor Obaseki, on Wednesday, October 24, announced the decision of the state Executive Council (EXCO) after its weekly meeting, to review the 2018 budget upward.

Obaseki assured that the Supplementary budget will be channeled to education, agriculture, building human capital and creating wealth for the state and the people, adding that the revision is a demonstration of the state’s commitment to open governance and transparency.

He explained that in the course of the 2018 fiscal year, Mr. President approved the disbursement of the final tranche of refunds from Paris/London club of borrowers to States and Local Governments (Edo State’s share of this

refund amounts to N5bn).

Mr. President further approved the application of a portion of this refund to clear the arrears of State Government’s cash contribution for Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Grants, resulting in an N3billion UBEC grant in favour of Edo State.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in this fiscal year, approved the disbursement of concessional loans (under the Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme, CAC), to qualifying states Edo State met all qualifying criteria and thus received N5bn from the CBN under CACs. The foregoing developments were not anticipated at the time the 2018 budget proposal was approved

by Executive Council in 2017.”

INEC can’t be independent so long President solely appoints its leadership - Odetunde Coming from a very humble background, Olagoke Odetunde, son of a Second Republic politician in old Oyo State, Chief J.A Odetunde, has a passion for human development; he believes the only avenue through which he could effectively achieve his goal is to first touch the lives of his people in Irewole/Isokan State Constituency of Osun State. This perhaps explains why this amiable and unassuming surveyor is venturing into politics. In this interview with JIDE OKE, Odetunde spoke of his integrated life initiative, free Medicare Programme being financed from his meager resources, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Action Democratic Party (ADP) among other issues.

What background prepared you for what you do now?

I was born in Apomu town in Isokan Local Government Area of Osun State, to Pa and Mrs Odetunde both from Apomu.

My childhood was spent here in Apomu and Lagos where I had my primary school education. My secondary school education was also at Apomu, from where I was admitted to The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo State to study quantity surveying. I passed out from The Polytechnic in 1990 as a qualified quantity surveyor and did my National Youth Service in Kogi State between 1990 and 1991. After my Youth Service, I worked with Amuwa Ajagun Construction Limited, as quantity surveyor and site manager. I later joined GYB Consult Limited. While at GYB Consult, I formed a small business with four other colleagues, Project-Bond Ltd. I was very pushful in finding myself in all these areas, where this skill would come out from and be fully exploited and that happened to a very great extent. I also formed P&S Associate with a colleague and I became the managing partner in 2005.

It is the background that I gained in all the process that really put my feet on the platform to take off as a politically conscious individual and the overriding philosophy that I have gained over these years is that one should not be confined to a narrow alley; one should not find oneself entangled in a very limited space of intelligential operations, so that in a situation where you say you are a surveyor and then you are restricted to the practice of construction, that is strictly antithetical for development of the individual person and the cooperate society.

Where are you experiences in political engagement?

Every man or woman born into this world is a politician, because right in your home as a father or a mother, you play politics in that family. Even in your place of work you play politics. So, to me everybody is a born politician.

From all indications, your participation in politics is to attain a sustainable development for your community, are you saying same goal cannot be achieved through your profession as a surveyor. Why must you go into politics to achieve this dream?

My going into main stream politics is not to seek fulfillment, in fact at this stage, I’m no longer seeking fulfillment as a personal goal, what I really want now is to be able to contribute and what remains a fulfillment for me is to see my constituency developed in a sustainable manner which you can say that yes, this is the dream that our forefathers had about our local community, about Osun, about all of us.

Now, you want to represent Irewole Isokan State Constituency of Osun State in next year general election, how much of the constituency do you know?

My immediate political area is my ward and local government which is Isokan Local Government Area. As a matter of fact, no politician can claim to know about every part of his constituency or senatorial district. It is the people working with him that will do the contact, take him around where necessary to sell his ambition. All these, I have been doing and to a large extent I have familiarised myself with most part of the constituency.

During election, the electorate would be guided by the contribution of contestants to the development of their community, on what are you building your ambition?

Well, I will not be able to give a direct answer to that question, but I can answer why I am into politics; the avenue that it is going to take, I may not be able to say for now. But so far so good I have been able to touch the lives of my people in the little way I could through my health initiative programme and the empowerment of women and youth in the constituency.

Also I believe that it is the responsibility of every individual to satisfy his or her conscience because when we stand before God, our conscience should be our judge.

For one to run for political office in Nigeria, one must be financially strong.

How loaded are you financially?

To be frank with you I don’t have the money like others who are loaded to throw the money around. But the little I have with the good will of the people around me I believe that alone will see me through in my ambition.

If you eventually emerge winner to represent Irewole/Isokan State constituency in 2019 general election, what are your plans for the people of the constituency?

The major problem confronting our people in the constituency is nonaccessibility of farmers to their farms.

So when I assume office the first thing I will give priority is to open up rural roads to enable farmers transport their farm produce to the towns and cities for marketing. I will also settle everything about the youth through employment and empowerment, because I personally feel encouraged by the amount of struggle they made to make ends meet in our society. Women will also be supported financially to start small-scale businesses and those who are already in business will be encouraged to grow in their trades.

The 2019 general election is about three months away, do you see INEC

conducting free, fair and credible polls?

Well, if INEC is given a free hand to conduct the 2019 election they will conduct it. INEC is called independent body but they are not independent, the mere fact that the people there were appointed by the ruling party, the electoral umpire finds it difficult to be independent. That is why we are advocating for clear independence for INEC to make it possible for all the political parties to be involved in the appointment of the people who head INEC. But as long as the President solely appoints the bosses of INEC they are bound to do whatever he dictates to them.

How is ADP fairing?

ADP is doing well, the enthusiasm of the people joining the party is very encouraging, in fact in most of the meetings we attend on daily basis you discover core politicians from other political parties including APC coming and declare their interest. So I hope that if this trend is maintained there is all indications that it will take over the government soonest, both at the local, state and national levels.

Ondo APC to Olusola Oke: We hold you and your followers in very high esteem Patrick Okohue The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has assured one of its leaders, Chief Olusola Oke, SAN, and his followers that the party and the government of the state hold him in very high esteem and will continue to give him his due honour and regards.

Reacting to a claim by the Senior Advocate of Nigeria and his supporters that they had suffered humiliation and rejection in the party, the party in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary in the state, Alex Kalejaye, said they received the report with a sense of disbelief.

Assuring Chief Oke that he is well respected by the governor, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and the State Secretariat of the APC, because he is a person of a notable personality with vast political experience, Kalejaye said, “as a colleague in the legal profession, the governor regards Chief Oke as a worthy partner in the quest for the political and economic emancipation of Ondo State.

“It is expedient to state in crystal clear language, that the two leaders are both eager to see the

Olusola Oke

development of the Sunshine State, and are mostly in touch, particularly, on matters that border on the wellbeing of the party and the state.

“At the level of the party, the State Chairman, Engr. Ade

Adetimehin, has always displayed profound respect and appreciation for the political exploits and professional attainment of Chief Oke. “Adetimehin believes very strongly that the fortune of APC in Ondo State would be greatly enhanced with the political experience of Chief Oke as well as his followers at the party’s disposal.

“This is readily explained by the quick response and visit to Chief Oke’s country home in Okitipupa, by the State Working Committee, led by Engr. Ade Adetimehin, to encourage him over the loss of his elder brother recently.

“We want to appeal that Chief Oke and his followers exercise some patience while the leader of the party in the state and our dear governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, looks into some of the issues raised, with a view to addressing them.

“The party needs all leaders and faithful to work together, in order to strengthen the party in the state, and ensure a resounding victory for President Muhammadu Buhari, and other party candidates in the 2019 general elections,” the APC said.

Boxer dies after knockout in WBC title match

An Italian boxer, Christian Daghio, has died after he was knocked unconscious during a fight in Thailand.

The 49-year-old, who had won seven world titles during his career, was knocked out twice in the final round of his WBC Asia title fight against Don Parueang last month, reports Metro UK. After his second knockdown, Daghio was immediately treated by medical staff inside the ring but didn’t get up.

He was subsequently taken to

hospital in Bangkok where he spent two days in a coma before he died.

“He died as he wanted to die,’ Daghio’s brother, Fabrizio, told Il Resto del Carlino.

“I have no regrets because he was like that. He said he wanted to fight until he was 80.”

“The ring was his life and he died as a champion.

“My brother had a girlfriend in Thailand and a five-year-old girl,” he added.
