Andrew Orolua & Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday in a split decision of 4 to 1 set aside the majority decision of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal delivered on March 27, 2019 and

restored the election victory of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola. It nullified the Tribunal decision which had declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as lawful winner of the September 27, 2018 governorship election in Osun State. Continued on page 3

9th assembly: Gaya urges APC to zone Short News deputy Senate President slot to N’West Says Senate rule on secret voting valid

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Sen. Kabiru Gaya (Kano South) has appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the deputy Senate President seat in the 9th Senate to the North West geo-political zone. Gaya said his aspiration to be deputy President of the Senate is based on the fact that the North West zone which produced the highest number of 21 senators deserves to be given the slot. Aside, he said the zone has the highest number of votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23 presidential election. Speaking with journalists at the National Assembly on Thursday, the former governor of Kano state argued that the zone will not be asking for too much by demanding for the seputy Senate President seat. The Senator said the APC has not zoned other leadership positions, but should consider

rewarding the zone with the position to concretize the support base that the President and the party has in the North West. According to him, he enjoys the backing of elders and youth from Kano state to throw his hat into the ring for the position, adding that he had what it takes to occupy the position as one of the most ranking senators and a two term governor. Speaking on the Senate rule on the pattern of voting, Sen. Gaya insisted that the provisions of the Senate Standing Rule which stipulates secret balloting system to elect presiding officers is still valid. He, therefore, cautioned that any attempt to effect a change in the rule must be in strict compliance with parliamentary procedures. According to Gaya, the process of amending the Senate rules is such that a motion to that effect would be sponsored on the Senate floor and would be considered thoroughly by the Senate. Reacting to a question on recent

calls for the Senate to adopt the open ballot system in electing its presiding officers for the ninth Senate, he said that the 2015 Senate rule is the valid document for use at the election since it is the one currently in use. He said the motion to effect any change “must be presented before the end of the life span of this Senate and processed and approved. Anything outside that is outside the due process.” “I am a member of the National Assembly. And we were able to do these rules together. We cannot change it now unless a member of the Senate moves for that change. If he moves for the change and somebody seconds it, the motion will be debated and the same thing also in the House of Representatives. It will be debated. If there is discrepancy between the Senate and the House, we will set up a conference committee. And they will bring it to us to find a date to sit down and pass it. Can you do that in one month?” Gaya queried.

Jigawa assembly impeaches speaker, 2 principal officers

The Speaker, Jigawa state House of Assembly, Alhaji Isa Idris (APC/Gwaram) has been impeached and replaced by a former Speaker of the assembly, Alhaji Idris Garba (APC/Gumel) on Thursday in Dutse. The impeachment of the deposed speaker at plenary was presided by Speaker protempo, Mr. Hamza Bala (APC/Kazure), following his nomination by the Clerk of the House, Malam Hamisu Attahir. Other principal officers removed along with the speaker are the Chief Whip and the Majority Leader of the assembly, Aminu Sale and Sani Isyaku, respectively. They were replaced with Kayes Abdallah (APC/Malammadori) as chief Wwip and Bala Hamza (APC/Kazaure) as majority leader. The re-elected speaker was impeached in January 2017 by 25 out of the 30 members of the House. The legislators had impeached Garba due to alleged high handedness and abuse of power. In his acceptance speech, the new speaker promised to carry all his colleagues along in the discharge of his duty and therefore, sought for support and cooperation of all the members. Answering a question on the impeachment, the new speaker replied “democracy took its course. My dear colleagues, I just want to be brief. This is so wonderful and this is also a remarkable day which I will never forget in my life. This is the second time I am being sworn in as the Speaker of this Honourable House. “In 2015, I saw some signs that I would be elected as the speaker, but today, I never expected that to happen. Therefore, I want to use this opportunity to extend my appreciation for the confidence you reposed in me. “I want to assure that I will never let you down. You know my capabilities and I think that is why you brought me back. So even though we have few weeks to go, I assure that we will do everything possible to settle our pending issues in this honourable house,’’ the new speaker said.

Ex- agitators warn trouble –makers against instigating youths Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

In its bid to stem protests against the office of the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Niger Delta ex-agitators for Peace Organization, an international umbrella body of ex-agitators has warned “conflict entrepreneurs” in the region to stop instigating the youth against constituted authorities or face the wrath of the people. The Country Representative of the organization, Comrade (Amb) George Adioni Sinclair cautioned that “on no account should any politician instigate violence in the Niger Delta region by using ex-agitators as a means to achieve their business/ political relevance.” He informed that the ex -agitators were aware that even some registered vendors with the Presidential Amnesty Programme have eventually turned out to become conflict entrepreneurs who are bent on instigating crisis in the Niger Delta to draw attention for selfish reasons. “These conflict entrepreneurs operate both as economic and political actors, in that they foment and fuel violence as a pathway for attaining economic and political power,” he said. He lamented that such vendors in the Presidential Amnesty Programme go behind to incite beneficiaries in the programme with an intention of cajoling the amnesty coordinator to award juicy contracts to them at the expense of the programme. “Some of them lobby for positions of economic and political power after the cessation of hostilities they instigated earlier. Recent developments in the amnesty office is a case in point,” Adioni added. According to Comrade Adioni, the earlier the amnesty office identifies such conflict entrepreneurs who parade themselves as contractors and friends of the special adviser/coordinator of the programme the better.

Ramadan: Fruit sellers blame middlemen for high cost 3rd annual Glo-sponsored Adetona Some fruit traders in Abuja have attributed the hike in prices of perishable food items during the Ramadan period to the role of middlemen and the rising cost of transportation. They said this in separate at the Maitama Farmer’s Market on Thursday in Abuja. Some of the respondents blamed the high cost of the items on the activities of those they described as “errand boys’’ that pose as the third party between the farmers and sellers thereby imposing extra charges. Ibrahim Musa, a fruit seller in the market, said the prices of fruits have risen during the Ramadan period. According to him, the price of some items doubled compared to previous months before the Ramadan fasting period. He explained that the prices

of fruits such as watermelon, pineapple and pawpaw have increased. “We used to buy 100 pieces of watermelon from farmers at the rate of N25, 000 to N30, 000 and now the price increased to between N50, 000 and N55, 000, depending on how you bargain. “We buy 12 pieces of pineapple at the rate of between N8, 000 and N8, 500, but now the price has increased from N10, 000 to N10, 500. Pawpaw which we used to buy at the rate of N3, 000 to N3, 500, is now sold at N10, 000 per dozen, but the prices of mango, onion and other food items remained the same,” he said. He said that customers have complained about the increase in cost of fruits especially at the period of Ramadan, adding that “most of our customers wanted to know the actual reasons for the

hike in the prices of fruits, asking if there is shortage of fruits in the farm or the cost of transportation. “But, we realized that the farm produce are available and one of the challenges we are facing is that some of the errand boys who have no business in the market always come once the goods are brought from the farm and hijack it. “They demand for their commission from the farmers and the buyers. So, one of our problems are the errand boys not the farmers and you know we are businessmen whatever we pay in the process, we add it up in the price of the items because nobody will like to lose in business,” he said. Musa further explained that the business used to boom during special occasions, festivities and fasting periods.

Capt Muhtar Usman: Creating a value chain for aviation

Abdulyekeen Umar

Presiding over the affairs of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is no mean feat, especially if viewed against the background of the challenges facing global aviation. Aviation in Nigeria, quite expectedly has its own fair share of challenges. Among these challenges are to ensure the sustenance and continuous improvement of the organizations regulatory oversight capabilities. Others are, to guarantee manpower and infrastructural development across the countrys airports and navigational facilities. To give strength and fulfillment to the Authoritys vision to be one of the leading civil aviation authorities in the world. Since 2014, when Captain Muhtar Usman assumed office as Director General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the regulatory agency has gradually lifted the industry from the hitherto myriad of challenges confronting it to an industry that has become the cynosure of global aviation, providing effective leadership at the African region. Muhtars declaration that his administration would focus on safety, security and comfort in the conduct of flight operations in and out of Nigerian airspace. has been the compass that guides the agency in piloting the affairs of the industry in the past five years. We will be guided by Annexes of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (NCARs) and other appropriate legislations and conventions in line with international standards,he declared in 2014 just as he asked for

support and cooperation from staff and stakeholders in order to achieve the three- point agenda. The country’s aviation industry under Captain Muhtar has witnessed massive growth in infrastructure, human capital development, standardisation and stabilization of the industry. It has attracted and hosted several international conferences and training for NCAA staff and other industry personnel. This has led to passing consistently in flying colours all International Civil Aviation Organizations (ICAO) Safety and Security audits. Under his leadership, Nigeria retained the United States of America Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) Category One status; the country also successfully undertook the Universal Safety Audit carried out by the industry global regulatory body, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Of immense importance and recognition for the industry was the Certification of Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja. This is the first time in the annals of aviation in Nigeria. In DGs words, the airport certification is a safety milestone considering the fact that less than 25 % international airports in the African and Indian Ocean (AFI) region are certified. As a matter of fact, Nigeria has become the first state in the entire region to have more than one international airport certified. The Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano and the Port Harcourt International Airport are at advanced

stage of certification. Other airports will follow suit accordingly. On the domestic scene, the leadership of NCAA oversaw the successful review and amendment of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (NCARs) which took effect from July 2016. A cheering episode that has equally ranked the countrys aviation industry and airlines on the domestic front high in the comity of nations is that almost all the domestic airlines operating in Nigeria have acquired the International Air Transport Association (IATA) International Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Certificate. Muhtar also ensured rigorous audit of Aviation Fuel Vendors, an exercise that has ensured the airline operators use only unadulterated Aviation fuel (Jet A1) in the industry. The period under review saw improvement in flight operations as weather equipment were deployed to ensure flights take-off even in very low visibility with the review of the weather Minima in 22 airports in Nigeria as well the operational use of the Performance Based Navigation (PBN). The country also attained level Three (3) in the State Safety Programme (SSP) Implementation Process which was spearheaded by the NCAA. In February 2018, the Nigeria aviation industry recorded a major feat with the commissioning of an Aero Contractors Aircraft Maintenance Organisation (AMO) for C-Check on Boeing 737 model, the series mostly own by airlines in the country after obtaining approval from NCAA. The facility has saved billions of naira hitherto ferried abroad by domestic airlines whenever they carry

out their checks in maintenance hangers abroad. Muhtar’s administration has brought to Nigeria a host of international conferences where current issues pertaining to Civil Aviation were discussed and solutions proffered for them. Prominent among the global gathering on the soil of Nigeria was the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) Symposium for Africa and Indian Ocean which took place between 17th -18th July, 2017. The country also played host to the global aviation body Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Workshop and Seminar from August 23rd - 26th August 2017. Another ICAO high level workshop on Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) for aviation CEOs, Directors and General Managers took place on the 23rd-26th October 2017. The well attended ICAO World Aviation Forum was also held on the 20th-22nd November 2017 in the country’s capital Abuja. Quite importantly, there are two ICAO certified auditors on the employ of the NCAA. The duo frequently joins other ICAO Auditors from other countries to carry out audits exercise of member countries. Captain Muhtar’s leadership has provided a level playing field for the industry and encouraged several local and foreign investors to invest in the aviation sector. This has culminated in several applications for Air Operators Certificate (AOC) and the expansion of the industry.

Why are Nigeria’s heroes ‘dying’?

Niran Adedokun

In other parts of the world, you cannot gain the heroic status unless you did something really noble and outstanding, and mostly in the service of humanity. But not Nigeria. Here, one could be a nonentity yesterday, attain public office by some crookery, feed fat on the bill of the public, become an emergency philanthropist amongst the people and thereafter become a hero. Sometimes, people attain public office through honest means, go on to live up to the expectations of the electorate, those expectations usually not being substantial, and they are crowned the new hero in town. But what happens to the real people who have served the country with all their might? Nigeria abandons them, sometimes even until death! There is a video currently circulating on social media. Even though one is unable to confirm its veracity, it is nonetheless pathetic and representative of the unfortunate experience of many people who have served Nigeria with all their power and might. The video is that of a young man who claims to be a Lance Corporal in the Nigerian Army. Now soliciting for help from Nigerians under the auspices of Help this Life in Need, some foundation, which has reportedly taken care of him since September 2018 or thereabouts when Emmanuel claimed he was diagnosed of kidney failure. The young man from Imo State said he was recruited into the Army in 2013 and deployed as one of the soldiers to confront the Boko Haram insurgents. He claimed that when he fell ill a couple of months back, his case was reported to the medical board with a request for financial assistance to get a kidney transplant but the only thing the Army Headquarters could do was to “give me sick leave to go and look for better treatment at home”. The soldier claimed he currently undergoes dialysis twice every week on the bill of the foundation and

appealed to Nigerians to contribute to the efforts to raise the sum of N8.4m for a transplant in India, which doctors say he needs urgently. His video ends on a heartrending way as he coveted the help of the people to see that he does not die prematurely as he sees himself dying daily. There is Chief Eddie Ugbomah, a veteran filmmaker and former Chairman of the Nigerian Film Corporation. Ugbomah, now 78, was known to have produced and directed films which were social commentaries on contemporary issues of the period. After his return from the United Kingdom where he had studied and worked, Ugbomah produced and directed The Rise and Fall of Oyenusi, a movie about a notorious armed robber that terrorised Lagos shortly before then. Some of the other films to his credit include The Mask, Death of the Black President and Oil Doom amongst others. He was appointed chairman of the NFC in 1988! Unfortunately, the first-generation filmmaker currently lies prostrate in a Lagos hospital ailing. His family and friends have, in the past couple of weeks, launched a N5m appeal fund meant to pay for a very urgent surgery that would save the Delta State-born veteran. Arts administrator and film journalist, Shaibu Husseini, who is leading the fundraising hinted in his daily report on Tuesday that things may get out of hand if the old man does not go into surgery in five days, yet less than N400, 000 of the N5m target has been raised! There is also the case of the 72-yearold Peter “Apu” Fregene, who is reportedly incapacitated after suffering a stroke. He was the Green Eagles’ first choice goalkeeper between 1968 and 1971. He was said to have represented Nigeria at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico, but his family is currently begging for donations to offset his medical bills!

News about Fregene broke only two weeks after businessman Femi Otedola offered to foot the medical bills of former Super Eagles Coach and one-time skipper of the national team, Christian Chukwu. The former coach, who could not use his legs before he got the $50,000 lifeline from Otedola, has since been flown to the United Kingdom where he is undergoing treatment. It is not likely that there would be an end to this list of people who have served Nigeria with their all at one point or the other but have unfortunately been failed by the nation in their time of need. And the above illustrations expose two very disheartening realities about Nigeria. One is the fact that the welfare of the people is not a priority to their leaders. Whether young or old, serving or retired, the foregoing examples indicate that anyone who gets ill has no state cover. There are no evident community-based health insurance schemes that take care of the common man even as service to fatherland does not guarantee any special national commitment. And the constitution by the non-justiciable nature of Chapter II of the 1999 Constitutions makes it impossible for citizens to challenge this major leadership failure. The second point, which is a corollary of the first, is the unacceptable collapse and failure of the public health system in the country as well as the resort to medical tourism. Note that of the four instances cited earlier, two have already been marked for India and the UK, while there are no certainties as to where the other two may end. The reality is that the primary and secondary levels of healthcare delivery in the country are nothing to write home about. And the result of this is that unthinkable pressure has been brought on the tertiary healthcare institutions such that they have become a collective shame. But how this is so is not really far-

fetched. Since he got into office in 2015, President Muhamadu Buhari himself has made the UK his first choice of medical tourism destination. And when he was criticised, his health minister, Prof Isaac Adewole, did not just take sides with his principal, he backed up his defence of the President’s choice by passing a vote of no confidence in the sector he superintends when he indicated that Buhari’s record may not be safe in Nigeria. Not too long ago, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, himself a medical doctor, indicated that Nigerian doctors were free to leave the country in search of better opportunities. This is in a country where one doctor is said to attend to about 6,000 patients as against the one doctor to 600 patients standard of the World Health Organisation. Yet, Nigerian leaders who are currently sold to the idea of fighting corruption fail to see the nexus between citizens’ disloyalty to the nation and the failure of the country to take care of its citizens, old and young. When a country fails to provide basic healthcare and education for its citizens, when soldiers are left to deal with the misfortunes that befall them in the cause of their service of fatherland, when senior citizens are unable to access basic welfare programmes that make life bearable for them after retirement or access liveable pensions, such a country breeds a citizenry which would in line with the basic human instinct, first seek its own survival before sparing a thought for the nation. No one wants to serve Nigeria with one’s all and start to beg to attend to one’s medical needs at the age of 70. So, the root of the insane question for inordinate acquisition in this land now is the failure of the country to care for its people. Those who see how true heroes of the country end up as in the preceding cases, will do anything to feather their own nests even if the nation goes to rot.

Editorial Commentary

Missing secret in Yari’s masterclass

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

Zamfara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abdulaziz Yari, gave a masterclass to incoming governors last week. The governor, who has obviously become wiser on his way out of office, advised his incoming colleagues to start thinking now of what they can do for their people and how they can find the money to do it. The man should know. He has been governor in good and bad times. After eight years of spending more time in Abuja than in Gusau, Zamfarans would be more than pleased that the governor delivered his masterclass where his heart has always been: Abuja. But we can leave the man for another day and examine the merits of his message for now. I don’t think many people would disagree with his point that it is a difficult time to be governor. The states are in a shambles, and with governments failing ever so spectacularly, more and more citizens are creating their own privates spaces to keep their sanity. There’s no better example of a shambles than Yari’s Zamfara, where bandits have made life miserable for most. To be sure, the state’s misery predates the coming of the armed bandits. For years, the official bandits – the bandits in power – plundered the state’s resources, including $3m Paris Club debt refund, which was supposed to have been used to pay salaries, and the poor masses were fed with tales of the afterlife. More Zamfara children are out of school than at any time in recent memory and a telling statistic was the revelation by Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, that in 2018, only 28 pupils from the state registered for the common entrance examination into the 104 unity schools. Yet, it would be unfair to single out Yari’s Zamfara. At a public event in Kaduna in April, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, offered a graphic picture of the situation in the country, but with particular reference to most parts of the North: “While the overall social economic considerations in the country is a cause for concern, the regional imperatives are, in fact, alarming. “In both the North-western and North-eastern parts of Nigeria, more than 60 percent of the population live in extreme poverty. It is instructive to know that the 19 northern states, which account for over 54 percent of the country’s population and 70 percent of its landmass collectively generate only 21 percent of the total subnational internally generated revenue in 2017.” From Kogi to Kano and from Plateau to Ebonyi, the landscape is littered with states which, were they companies, would have been forced to file for bankruptcy long ago. As at last year, 24 out of the 36 states were owing workers’ salaries of between four and 18 months, with pension arrears going back even much farther. So, what now? Yari advised incoming governors to stop depending entirely on money from Abuja to run their states. Instead, he said, they should find ways of increasing internally generated revenue. That is easier said than done, especially when incoming governors know that the only way to resist the temptation of gorging on Abuja money is to yield to it. The smell of Abuja money is irresistible. On the heels of the spectacular increase in tax revenue from N3.3trillion trillion in 2016 to N5.3trillion last year under Tunde Fowler, the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, said the Federal Government plans to find creative ways of expanding the tax net to fund gaps in the N8.83trillion 2019 federal budget. In the last four years, the FIRS has plugged internal leakages and loopholes instigated by insiders; adopted more efficient tax collection methods; and enticed a large army of tax defaulters through the Voluntary Assets Income Declaration Scheme, which raked in N17billion within the first six months of introduction. The reforms have drawn their own controversy, both inside FIRS where vested interests now appear determined to wreck the system if they cannot hijack it, and from outside the service where states that collect 50 percent of all Federally collected VAT revenue, apart from other taxes, cannot wait to get

their hands on a slice of the larger pie. By the way, the intriguing power-game around the tax trough reached a high on Sunday when a report in a section of the social media declared, dead serious, that Fowler had gone into hiding following a manhunt for him by the EFCC over alleged financial misconduct. But we did not have to lay ambush at the Abuja city gate or airport in case Nigeria’s “Zacchaeus” wanted to escape in disguise. On Monday, the same Fowler that was supposed to be “on the run” was widely reported by the mainstream media to be busy at his desk, thus putting a lie to the earlier report. If anyone should worry at all, it should those the FIRS boss announced that day had been added to the tax net, bringing the new taxable population to a record 45million. With more reforms, including but not limited to tackling multiple taxes/duties/levies; improvements in infrastructure; removal of red tape and better regulatory environment; reduction in corporate taxes; and possibly, introduction of flat rate tax, the revenue from the tax pie could grow beyond its present level. As things are now, the relatively narrow taxable base, comprising mainly distressed formal sector workers and struggling business owners, is reaching its elastic limits. But even if you pour the entire 2019 Federal budget into some states as they are presently run and structured, it would still amount to throwing good money after bad. It’s OK, as Yari suggested, to ask incoming governors to find money to run their states and to warn them of the danger of relying on dwindling and uncertain commodity prices. But that’s not the biggest risk factor, and Yari’s tragic tenure in Zamfara should serve as a good example. The thing worse than dwindling resources from Abuja and far worse than the volatility of commodity prices or even the bogus fear of another recession is the unthinking governor. And there are far too many of them than the country can cope with at this time. I agree that there is the need for radical leadership from the centre; leadership that is bold, imaginative and courageous to straighten out the public sector and scrap or amend archaic laws holding down investment and the citizens’ creative spirit, like the Land Use Act, for example. But even within the current restricted space, thinking governors like Kaduna’s Nasir El-Rufai and River State’s Nyesom Wike, still find a way, if you overlook their politics. We need governors who can find a way to cutout fat in useless bureaucracies, keep overheads low and shun unnecessary foreign trips. Those who will reward talent, invest in education and health and let citizens know that uncontrolled population is a time bomb. We need thinking governors who know their limitations and who are determined to find a way to encourage healthy competitive spirit among communities and businesses. Governors who will find and encourage partnerships – private-public partnerships – that work; not those looking for contractors that will line their pockets with dollars. How is it that while the Kogi State government is owing workers’ salaries, for example, the same state is host to Dangote’s Obajana Cement Plant, a factory which produces 13.3million metric tonnes of cement yearly and makes a profit of N390billion, more than twice Kogi’s 2018 budget and roughly eight times its annual dole from Abuja? Rochas Okorocha, a member of Yari’s class and outgoing governor of Imo, may not have received as much money from Abuja as his counterparts in the Niger Delta. But even if the streets of Owerri were lined with money-bearing trees, he would still have used the bulk of it to build statues and the balance to amuse himself and his family. That’s what happens when you prioritise resources over judgement. As Yari may have noticed, the echo of his advice had not even faded when fliers flooded the social media that the PDP Class of 2019 governors among his audience are planning a retreat in Dubai, a city state built from nothing when the jet-set governors were already in their adult life. When will they learn?

Our POSITION

Taming the cancer scourge in Nigeria Feeding on widespread ignorance about the disease, cancer of all forms has continued to wreak havoc on humanity, prematurely cutting down destinies and dreams. It has remained the world’s number one killer disease. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently revealed that new cancer cases and deaths in Africa are projected to double by 2040. Statistics have shown that estimated new cases in Nigeria as at 2018 was put at 116,000 while 41 cancer related deaths were also recorded. Despite efforts by government and other relevant stakeholders to raise more awareness on how to live a healthy life, cancer has continued to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. New cases and deaths from cancer continue to rise. In 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths, whereas in 2018 there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. If current trends are maintained, the cancer burden in Africa is projected to double from 1,055,172 new cancer cases in 2018 to 2,123,245 cancer cases by 2040. In Nigeria, this chronic illness with often severe effects is a potential death sentence. There is hardly anybody who doesn’t know somebody who has either died of, or is suffering from it. The death of many low and high profile figures from cancer should be a wake-up call for government to be more committed to addressing the rising incidence and cost of cancer in Nigeria. To combat the menace, an intensive community-based mass cervical cancer screening campaign is desirable. Nigerians cannot afford the cost of cancer care. When it strikes, even the rich become beggars. Cancer management must be recognised as team work and government must take the lead. Cancer control must be centrally coordinated and the Federal Ministry of Health must take up that role.

We are of the opinion that government should admit that cancer is now an issue of primary health concern and a major cause of premature death of Nigerians irrespective of age, sex, or social class. They should take the bull by the horn by equipping public hospitals and medical centres with effective diagnostic capability to quickly detect and treat cancer infections. The government at all levels should recognise the urgent need for the institution of a policy for mandatory free annual screening checks at local, state and national levels and put in place long-overdue comprehensive world class centres for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Cancer is not like malaria or typhoid that weighs you down when it starts. It is not a physical growth that you can easily see. Medical experts call it maligned tumour, it grows abnormally and it spreads. So the earlier you nip it in the bud, the better. A lot of people walk around not knowing that they have this disease inside of them until it gets to a very alarming stage before they find out. This is why it is also very important to raise awareness on imbibing in healthy lifestyle such as good diet, exercise and regular medical checkups. Knowledge is key in the fight against cancer and in getting people to be conscious of their health, they need to know what to do. When people are armed with knowledge, spread of cancer would be reduced. Regular screening is very important because we believe that some of these issues can be nipped in the bud if it is detected early. If you discover you have an ailment, you take care of it on time. Cancer should not kill anybody anymore because there are opportunities for it to be detected and if detected on time it can be stopped.

Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Abok-Ete Ibas has said that there is a remarkable drop in the number of kidnappings in the country. According to the naval chief, what normally would attract attention is when a key person in government is kidnapped.

Brain drain: Migration of Nigerian Short News doctors abroad worrisome - CMD Labour rejects part payment of April salary in Bauchi Kasara Chukwuma, Lagos

Chief Medical Director of the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo, has expressed concern at the rate at which many Nigerian-trained medical doctors are migrating to other countries in search of greener pastures. According to Prof. Fabamwo, only 40, 000 out of the 91, 000 doctors captured on the register of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) are practicing in the country. He said the number was grossly inadequate and far from the 237, 000 doctors needed for Nigeria to achieve universal health coverage.

Prof. Fabamwo disclosed this in Lagos during the ordinary general meeting of the Medical Guild Association of Doctors under the employment of the Lagos state government with the theme: “Challenges of inadequate human resources in the health sector: Way forward.” The LASUTH boss who was the keynote speaker at the event, said that “there are about 40, 000 doctors that are practicing in Nigeria now. So, where are the remaining 51, 000 since the MDCN has 91, 000 names on its register? “It is interesting to note that 80 per cent of those 51, 000 are abroad while 20 per cent have been affected by internal brain drain. Internal brain drain is where a doctor stops practicing medicine and starts doing something else.

He advised the federal government to declare an emergency in the health sector and to also reappraise the sector’s master plan, just as he recommended a special welfare package for all health workers while urging the government to implement the National Health Act. In his remarks, Chairman of the Medical Guild, Dr. Babajide Saheed, urged the Lagos state government to take the issue of brain drain in the state very seriously and charged the incoming government to make the employment of doctors a priority. “The state is seriously faced with shortage of doctors as many of them are leaving the system every day because of the work load. We want this to be addressed urgently,” he said.

He disclosed that “yesterday, we were invited for a meeting with the government and our hopes were that at last, we will have negotiations on the new minimum wage, but we were shocked to our bones when we were told that they cannot pay full salaries for the month of April.” Flanked by the Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the state, Saleh added that “we have been waiting for that salary since the 25th of last month, only to be told that we should choose between segmental or percentage payments. We reject every form of part payment. Workers should be paid in full because they worked hard throughout the month.” The labour chairman also lamented that life without salaries during Ramadan is more difficult because workers would have less strength to look for alternative means of survival.

Udoma inaugurates NBS board, warns against meddling Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma on Thursday inaugurated the governing board of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Sen. Udoma advised the board members to see their appointments as a call to national service, stressing that the NBS is critical to the implementation of the federal government’s economic agenda. He urged members of the board not to interfere in the day-to-day running of the agency, noting that such a task should be left to the chief executive of the NBS alone. Udoma told the board members to come up with innovative ideas that would support the NBS’s mandate in enhancing the diversification of the economy and further charged the new board to work in harmony with the management of the bureau to achieve its goals. The minister said that “considering the important roles that the NBS plays in nation building, the need for

a supportive governing board cannot be over-emphasized. However, it is important to point out that your appointment is on a part-time basis. “You are required to work with the management of the NBS to determine its mission and long-term strategy roles and responsibilities and develop strategies to promote sustainable and cost-efficient activities of the bureau. “Full details of your duties and responsibilities are prescribed in the enabling Act of the NBS which will be handed over to you at the end of the inauguration ceremony. I urge you to become familiar with it. “Let me restate that the roles and responsibilities of the governing boards of parastatals and agencies as provided in their respective Acts are quite distinct from the day-today administration of the parastatals and agencies under the leadership of chief executives who doubles as accounting officers. “Strict adherence to statutory provisions by both parties will enhance harmonious relationship devoid of bickering and other

unhealthy occurrences.” Responding, Chairman of the board, Dr. Kabiru Nakaura, commended the president for the appointment and appreciated the minister for the board’s inauguration and pledged the willingness of the board to discharge its responsibilities creditably. The 15-member board comprises six political appointees and nine institutional members. The Statistician-General of the Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale, will serve as secretary. The other members are Prof. Moses Momoh, Mr. Adam Modu, Mr. Akinola Bashiru, Chief Paul Chukwudi and Mr. Wallijoh Ahijoh.

Don predicts more environmental devastation for Nigeria Isaac Job, Uyo Wildlife expert and Associate Professor in the Department of Forestry and Natural Environmental Management, University of Uyo, Dr. Eden Eniang has warned that Nigeria will experience grave environmental challenges if the current bush hunting and fishing are not checked. Dr. Eniang, who was reacting to the 2019 report released by the Inter-Governmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Economic Service (IPBES) after its workshop in Paris, said the country is on the verge of losing its biodiversity. Receiving 130 students of the Rivers state University, PortHarcourt at the Conservation Education center (CEC) in Uyo, said the report revealed that one million animal species are at risk of extinction in the world is worrisome considering the Nigerian situation. He acknowledged the landmark global assessment of Nigeria’s environmental problems, warning

that the window is closing to safeguard the nation’s biodiversity and by extension a healthy planet, emphasizing that the unregulated hunting and fishing in the country is a threat to nature. The university don appealed to the federal government to mapout 25 per cent of the land mass in the country to be assigned as government protected area under category 2 of the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN). While challenging policy makers in the country to come up with implementable legislation to help protect nature and the endangered species which he said are valuable creatures that play vital roles in the ecosystem. The wildlife scientist lamented that the seven national parks in the country are not capable of providing safe haven for the endangered species and advocated for 10 additional national parks in the country. According to him, every community must as a matter of urgency contribute 25 per cent of

the community’s land to community conservation areas, adding that “in so doing, every local and state governments would end up contributing the needed percentage of land.” The United Nations report had warned that bonds that hold nature together may be at risk of unraveling from deforestation, overfishing, development and other human activities. “Thanks to human pressures, one million species may be pushed to extinction in the next few years with serious consequences for human beings as well as the rest of life on earth,” the UN report stated. Eniang said there is an urgent need for the government, corporate organizations and individuals to contribute toward protecting nature and to shun bush meat consumption. “Multi-nationals should contribute towards protecting biodiversity as their corporate social responsibility. There should be a regulation on bush meat hunting in the country as it is obtained in Kenya and other developed countries,” he added.

The Ekiti state Landlords’ Association has sued the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) for alleged over-billing and illegal disconnection of electricity supply in the state. In an originating summons filed at the Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, the landlords under the auspices of the Ado Ekiti Electricity Consumers’ Association, said the BEDC contravened the Electricity Reform Act, 2005, which recommends that all electricity consumers must be metered before two years of connection. The suit was filed by the Chairman of the body, Dr. Ibukun Ogundipe and four others. Joined in the suit are the BEDC and the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) as 2nd defendant. The plaintiffs through their lawyer, Isaac Omolade, prayed the court for an order of mandamus compelling the NERC to revoke the BEDC operational licence for flouting extant regulations. They prayed the court to determine among other things whether the BEDC going by provisions of Sections 32, 80, 81, 82 and 96 of the Electricity Reform Act, 2005, were empowered to impose arbitrary charges without deferring to the NERC. Also, the plaintiffs are seeking a perpetual injunction restraining the BEDC from disconnecting or imposing monthly bill of more than N3,100 as contained in their prayers and deposition.

Nigeria economy to benefit from MTN Nigeria listing on equities market - Stakeholders Motolani Oseni Stakeholders in the capital market have said MTN Nigeria listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) will boost investors’ confidence and liquidity, even as the nation’s economy stands to benefit. They expressed that other listed companies are expected to witness price discovery and foreign and domestic investors’ interest in the capital market might increase going forward. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had received the application from the company last week to register their existing securities. MTN Nigeria had registered 20.35 billion ordinary shares with apex capital market regulating body with the It plans to list around 20 per cent of those on the bourse. That would give the unit market value of as much as N1.8 trillion or $5.1 billion market capitalisation, making it the second-biggest public firm in Africa’s main oil producer after Dangote Cement Plc. The Managing Director of Cowry Assets Limited, Mr Johnson Chukwu, said that the listing is a positive development for the nation’s capital market

According to him, “I think it is a positive development for the capital market. “Basically, MTN has the largest turnover in the economy. So, if we use that kind of basis, we have doubt MTN will be most capitalized equity in the Nigerian market but beyond being the most capitalized market, MTN will bring some level of participation to the companies listed on the Exchange.” Speaking further he said, “Right now, we do not really have any strong telecommunication company listed on the NSE. The other telecom’s companies have been delisted. “So, I want to believe it will present with the opportunity to invest in the company to consumers they are really contributing to its turnover. Nigerians are paying for airtime. So, if you invest, you will be benefiting from your own consumption or expenditure. “All things being equal, it will be well received in the market and it will afford more Nigerians a lot to buy into the company they really have some form of consumer relationship with.” Professor of Finance & Capital Market, and head, Banking and Finance Department, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Prof. Uche Joe Uwaleke speaking

as a guest lecturer at the Capital Market Correspondent’s Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN), a quarterly forum in Lagos said, the expected listing on the NSE, by MTN, is expected to boost market liquidity, diversify offerings as the company will become the second most capitalised company in the market, after Dangote Cement Plc. Similarly, President, Progressive Shareholders Association of Nigeria (PSAN), Mr Boniface Okezie, said that the telecommunication company stands to benefit in the listing In his words, “The news has been on for many years whether MTN is listing or not. I think it is high time the company list once and for all so that they can move on. “The company problem with the government could not have arisen for a very long period of time.For me, the company will gain a lot to the listing. “There is equity at the Exchange that when you are operating as a private company, a lot of law would speculating on them. “Now, certain things the private sector would bring out, they would not be involved in that because it is quoted company because they have earned the respect. So, it is going to be a good one for

the company,” he explained. The telecommunication giant agreed to an initial public offering of its Nigeria business as part of the settlement of a reduced $1 billion fine in the country in 2016. The listing planned June is the first of two stages, with a selldown of MTN’s majority stake to take place at a later date. A statement by SEC Head of Corporate Communications, Mrs Efe Ebelo, had earlier stated that the Acting Director General of SEC, Ms. Mary Uduk confirmed the approval of the company’s listing on the bourse. “MTN sought to come to the market by way of an introduction and they wrote to the SEC last week requesting for approval to register its existing shares. That approval has now been granted. “This is a further indication of the determination by the SEC to work with companies that are interested in the capital market. We believe that this will also encourage other service providers to come to the market,” the statement read. The carrier appointed former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Lamido Sanusi, who’s now the Emir of Kano, to its board last week in preparation for the listing.

The Director General, Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Mr Muda Yusuf has commended the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Bankers committee increase youth job creation with Creative Industry Financing Initiative (CIFI) loan. The CBN had issued a circular that under the CIFI loan initiative, beneficiaries could get up to N500million loans at nine per cent interest rate. It noted that the creative industries that could apply were fashion, Information Technology, movie production, movie distribution, music and software engineering student loan. Speaking on this development, he said, “It is a good thing to support the creative industry with finance because the sector has a lot of personnel and also one of the fastest growing sector in the country where we have lots of young people and job creations.” He explained that the initiative going to working despite numerous challenges facing the creative industry and the nation’s economy at large. According to him, “It can work, the challenges can be tackled, be it policy, infrastructure, institution, regulatory. There is no sector that is not facing challenge, but working with the CBN and other operators, I think it can tackled. “Operators should be able to tell the government what the issues are and how they can be handled. What is clear is that we have the talents that can drive the industry, and the industry presents creative people. “The whole idea is that there should be engagement between the sector. Just as CBN engages with manufacturers, farmers they should also do the same with youths that know what the challenges are and see how to tackle it together.” He added, “Software engineering student can get a loan of up to N3million, N30million for movie production business, N500million for movie distribution business, cover your rental/service fees for fashion and Information Technology business, cover your training fees, equipment fees, and rental/service fees for music business.” The CBN advised interested applicants in the creative industry to submit applications to their banks for approval and disbursement. It also urged them to prepare the business plan or statement on how much they required for the business. According to the CBN, the banks will discuss the request and provide the money. “The maximum interest rate of nine per cent per annum (all charges inclusive) is applicable to all loans,” it stated. On the period for the repayment of the loan, it said, “For software engineering student loan, it is a maximum of three years; for movie production and distribution, it is a maximum of 10 years; for fashion, Information Technology and music, it is a maximum of 10 years.”

Osun gov. ruling: PDP chieftain declares party will head to Supreme Court, as APC members hail judgement Stories by Patrick Okohue The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to challenge the Court of Appeal judgement upturning the judgement of the lower court declaring the candidate of the PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of Osun State, at the Supreme Court, saying that the mandate given to the party by the people of Osun State cannot be stolen by the All Progressives Congress (APC). This was made known by the PDP National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Eddy Onafeso, in a telephone interview with after the Appeal Court judgement. Meanwhile, some Chieftains of the APC had hailed the judgment of the Court of Appeal, describing it as the ‘Will of God’. The former Chairman of the APC in Lagos State, Chief Henry Ajomale, said that the judgement has vindicated the people of Osun who voted for APC at the last year governorship election, saying that the people of the state would enjoy the tenure of Governor Gboyega Oyetola. “We thank God that the truth has come out with the Court of Appeal judgement. God has revealed himself. I wish

Senate Presidency: Goje’s ambition receives boost, as Northern youths insist he is most qualified The North West Wing of the Coalition of Northern Youth Organizations (CNYO) on Thursday staged a peaceful rally in Kaduna, demanding that Senator Danjuma Goje remains in the senate presidency race for the Ninth Assembly. The youths thronged out in their numbers carrying banners, with inscriptions like, “Goje for 9th Senate”, “Goje best for next level”, among others. Also, they were at the Northwest zonal secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna, where they presented a letter supporting Goje’s candidature. Chairman of the group, Hassan Idris, described Senator Goje as the most qualified to occupy the office of the Senate President,

adding that the group will not accept any supposed endorsement of any other candidate from the North East region. According to him, a level playing ground must be given to all the contenders for the Senate Presidency, saying none of the contenders should be forced on the Red Chamber, come June. He said, “We owe it a sense of duty to demand and insist that, the contenders to the seat of the Senate Presidency must subject themselves to a level playing democratic process of equal opportunity. “The North West wing of the Coalition of Northern Youth Organizations is calling on all concerned persons to prevail on Senator Danjuma Goje to declare and run for the Presidency of the

9th Senate.” While receiving the groups letter, Administrative Assistant to the Secretary APC North West office , Suleiman Adamu told the group that their letter will be delivered to the party’s North West secretary who will later forward it to the National Secretariat for action. “I received your letter and I will make sure I deliver it to the Secretary North West who will forward it to the National Secretariat. I wish you best of luck,” he said. “Danjuma Goje is the only politician of the present Senator’s from North East who can fundamentally and structurally provide responsible responsive and leadership of the senate,” he said.

Gboyega Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola well and I know he is a good man. The people of Osun State will enjoy his tenure” Ajomale said further that even if PDP goes to the Supreme Court, APC would win again because the party had all the evidence in their hands. Also, the Assistant Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Mr Abiodun Salami, described the judgement as a victory for democracy, saying that judiciary has shown that it is the hope of the common man.

Salami explained that the governance of Osun cannot be left in the hands of sycophant, saying “It is a victory for democracy. It was a unanimous decision to show that democracy is working, and that the hope of the common man is in the judiciary” “Somebody cannot just come from somewhere and want to get position through crook means. The people of Osun are not stupid. Someone without a genuine certificate cannot govern Osun. APC will continue

Group seeks probe of Saraki’s link with Ilorin Tobacco firm The Nigeria Anti-Corruption Vanguard has called on the Board of Customs and Legal Department to halt process of renewing import license for Orion Agro Industries‎ Nigeria Limited, manufacturing cigarettes in Ilorin Kwara State, saying the firm is only looking for tax waiver. The group also called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe activities of the firm saying the firm is being used by Senate President Bukola Saraki for illicit financial transactions since 2003. The Anti Corruption group presenting its preliminary report on the tobacco firm at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday said the tobacco firm has recently applied for ‎a license renewal to the Custom after many years of flouting rules and regulations guiding tobacco industry in Nigeria. National Coordinator NACV, Oloye Akin Ayokunle called on the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Custom Service, Col. Hammed Ali to do its due diligence before processing the Orion Agro Industries application for renewal of importation license. The group said it appears that Orion Agro Industries is having undue advantage in Customs under Col. Hammed Ali. “One of our concerns again is the speed at which the process of renewing this firm’s

license is taking at Customs, there is a government policy that additional investments should not be entertained in the Tobacco sector, Orion Agro Industries has not been in business for almost 20 years.” The group recalled that Orion Agro Industries got an initial license from Customs in the year 2003/2004 and had a tax waiver for three years (2007/2008) to import tobacco. “According to our investigation, Bukola Saraki bought into the company when he was elected the governor of Kwara State in 2003. Since then the firm has been a signpost for illicit money laundering activities for Saraki and his cronies in the PDP. “After closing shops for many years, the firm suddenly using Saraki last minute influence has applied to the Nigeria Custom for renewal of its license and tax waivers on pretense of building its factory in Nigeria. “The company imports from its main manufacturer in Poland, not a single stick of cigarette was produced in Ilorin Nigeria since 2004 when it was importing tax free. “The company should be made to give account for its local investment in Nigeria and engagement with its host communities during its years of waivers before its license is renewed.” Also this company has not paid a dime as tax

into the federation account and the Kwara State government. It’s in public domain that Kwara State Governor AbdulFatai Ahmed has given the company 20 years tax holiday, meaning the government at all level will not get anything in return from Orion Agro Industries.” “Everything about Orion Agro Industries‎ is shrouded in secrecy, details of the company has been pulled out on the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC registered companies portal neither does it have Standard Organization of Nigeria SON approvals on production or importation of tobacco products in the country. “Also the company does not have any records in SON since 2003 that it has been in operation, but has been moving money out of the country in guise of importation,” Ayokunle said. “We are also calling on the EFCC to probe into the financial transactions of Orion Agro Industries and its link with Senate President Bukola Saraki.” The group recalls that under the PDP government in Nigeria, licenses were issued “to anybody for anything once you get access to Aso Rock. “This Orion is just one of the many companies in Nigeria that have illegally benefited from waivers and tax holidays from government, but failed to deliver on regulation guiding the sector.”

Togo changes law to let president stand for two more terms

An election official empties a ballot box as counting begins after polls closed in Alexandra township in Johannesburg

South Africa’s ruling ANC takes lead as vote counting continues With more than 50 percent of votes counted in South Africa’s general election, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party looks set to maintain power, despite gains for opposition parties. By late Thursday afternoon in South Africa, the ANC had captured about 57 percent of the vote. The centrist Democratic Alliance (DA) had about 23 percent and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party was nearing 10 percent. The final results are expected to be announced on Saturday. Statistics from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) showed turnout was about 65 percent, down from some 73 percent in 2014 and a reflection of growing disenchantment with both the ruling ANC and the political system more generally. Turnout was particularly low among the youth and in underprivileged townships, a number of which erupted in service delivery protests in the days leading up to the poll. According to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the ANC will likely get 58 percent of the final vote count, a marked dip in performance from 2014’s elections, when the party got 62 percent of the vote. The ANC has never polled below 60 percent in general elections since the dawn of South

Africa’s democracy 25 years ago but has been beset by a raft of scandals and economic crises in recent years. However, Sithembile Mbete, a political analyst, cautioned: “The early results are always somewhat skewed because certain areas come in earlier than others.” Mbete also told Al Jazeera that two interesting opposition trends had emerged so far: the right-wing Freedom Front Plus picking up votes at the expense of the DA and the EFF, in only its second election, picking up votes at the expense of the ANC. “I think that we are seeing the same kind of backlash against centrist politics that you’ve seen in the rest of the world,” Mbete added. Prior to Wednesday’s vote, some political commentators predicted that the ANC might lose its outright majority in provinces such as Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, and therefore be forced to form coalitions with opposition parties. But based on early results, the ANC will likely avoid such an eventuality, Mbete said. Despite the likely decrease in its majority, ANC leaders have expressed positivity about the vote count so far, while EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi told reporters: “What is definitive is that we are part of the race. The EFF is represented in every province. You can

already see that our growth is right on the way.” DA spokesperson Solly Malatsi said the party was concerned about claims of double voting and an apparent shortage of ballot papers at some voting stations. In a press release issued late on Wednesday night, hours after the polls had closed, the IEC assured voters of the integrity of the elections. Election officials interviewed by Al Jazeera said that by and large things had run smoothly. “We can have an electoral body that is credible and really one of the best at what it does in the world and we can have people having voted multiple times and we can have a system for being able to check that and we can have an election where there were some places where scanners didn’t work properly. All of those things can be true at the same time,” said Mbete of widespread criticism of the IEC on social media on Wednesday. In the sprawling Cape Town township of Khayelitsha, which experienced various glitches and interruptions at certain voting stations due to protest activity, Buntu Matole, 31, a social entrepreneur, said he thought the process had been handled well overall. Matole voted ANC, telling Al Jazeera in a phone call that he was a “loyal citizen and loyal to his political party”.

Faure Gnassingbe has held Togo’s presidency since 2005 after taking over from his father, who seized power in a 1967 coup

Togo’s parliament has approved a constitutional change permitting longstanding President Faure Gnassingbe to potentially stay in office until 2030, despite widespread protests calling for the end of his family’s decades-long grip on power. The amendment caps the presidential mandate to two five-year terms but does not apply retrospectively, meaning Gnassingbe can stand for the next two elections, in 2020 and 2025, despite having already served three terms since succeeding his late father 14 years ago. “The president of the republic is elected by universal suffrage ... for a term of five years, renewable once,” the new text of the Constitution read, which also made the presidential election a two-round race. The amendment was signed off on by all 90 legislators present on Wednesday, surpassing the required fourfifths approval by parliament to make such changes. One other legislator was absent. Another change passed by the National Assembly guaranteed immunity for life to all former presidents, who the new constitutional terms said cannot be “prosecuted, arrested, detained, or tried for acts committed during their presidential term”. Gnassingbe’s Union for the Republic party holds

two-thirds of the seats in parliament. The main opposition boycotted legislative elections in December, in part because of the dispute over term limits, leaving them without seats in parliament and powerless to vote against the amendments. Legislators also changed the rules for their own mandate, meaning they can now hold their seats for two terms of six years each. Before, they had a mandate of five years but with an unlimited number of terms. Brigitte AdjamagboJohnson, coordinator of the opposition coalition, said she was “shocked” by the changes. “He (Gnassingbe) has showed the Togolese people that the only thing that worries him is to stay in power,” she told reporters on Thursday in the capital, Lome. Deadly clashes erupted over the proposed constitutional changes in 2017 after security forces cracked down on demonstrators calling for Gnassingbe’s resignation echoing a mass movement against his first appointment in 2005 during which at least 500 people were killed. Opponents of the president, whose father seized power in a 1967 coup, have sought term limits and other constitutional reforms since then to align the former French colony with most of its West African neighbours.

Russian spies found guilty of Montenegro coup attempt A Montenegro court has sentenced 14 people including two Russian military intelligence officers, two Montenegrin opposition leaders and nine Serbian citizens and another Montenegrin to up to 15 years in prison after they were found guilty of attempting to overthrow the Montenegrin government in 2016. In a first instance court ruling, Russian agents Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov, were sentenced in absentia to 15 and 12 years respectively, convicted of “attempted terrorism” and “creating a criminal organisation”. Two leading ethnic Serb opposition politicians of the Montenegrin Democratic Front, Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic, were sentenced to five years each. Bratislav Dikic, the former commander of a Serbian police unit, the Gendarmerie was also sentenced to eight years in prison. The court found the group intended to take over parliament on election day on October 16, 2016 and assassinate then Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic in order to set up a pro-Russia, anti-NATO leadership. However Montenegro’s police successfully thwarted the attempt, after being tipped-off by Western spy organisations. Djukanovic has led the country for three decades either as prime minister or president and has set the country on a Euro-Atlantic course. Montenegro subsequently joined NATO

in June 2017, becoming its 29th member, despite strong opposition from Russia, which views the country as a historic Orthodox Christian, Slav ally. Moscow has denied any involvement in the coup attempt, calling the allegations “absurd”. The prosecution claimed that “Russian state bodies” had played a key role in the plot. According to the ruling, the Russians - said to be members of the Russian military secret service agency GRU coordinated the attempted coup from neighbouring Serbia. Chief judge Suzana Mugosa said the agents provided at least 200,000 euros for purchasing rifles and guns, Reuters news agency reported. The two Russian agents tried to “change the electoral will” and “prevent Montenegro from joining NATO”, Mugosa said, as reported by Reuters. Mugosa said that Mandic and Knezevic made several trips to Moscow on the eve of the election where it’s believed they received instructions from GRU operatives. “Each member of the criminal organisation had a task and role that had been previously determined and the criminal organisation was ready to implement violence and intimidation,” Mugosa said. Mandic and Knezevic vehemently

rejected the verdict and said they will appeal. Addressing local media on Thursday, Mandic called out the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic as well as Milorad Dodik, current chairman and Serb member of Bosnia’s tripartite presidency to break off communication with Djukanovic. “I’m inviting them not to support an enemy of the Serbian people in this region... We expect solidarity and brotherly support,” Mandic told local media. NATO expansion, a ‘provocation’ The region of former Yugoslavia is a geopolitical front line between NATO and Russia. In the Balkans, the only countries that have not joined NATO are North Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia and Bosnia. Kurt Bassuener, PhD candidate at the University of St. Andrews told Al Jazeera that the ruling, particularly the conviction of two Russian intelligence officers, “underscores the level of engagement Moscow will undertake in its efforts to prevent further NATO enlargement in the region” and also highlights “the depth of polarisation in Montenegro’s political scene”. Bassuener noted that Moscow’s disposition against NATO and later EU enlargement became clear after the invasion of Crimea and the inducement of war in eastern Ukraine in 2014.

Djokovic beats Chardy to reach Madrid Open quarter-finals Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open on Thursday with a 6-1 7-6 (7-2) win over Jeremy Chardy. The Serbian world number one made light work of his French opponent on the clay in the first set but struggled in the second. Djokovic saved set point at 4-5 with a fine serve, preserving his record of never having dropped a set against Chardy in 13 matches. He went on to seal the tiebreak with a forehand winner. “I was set point down. It could have gone a different way,” said

Djokovic, who won in Madrid in 2011 and 2016. “I wasn’t really thinking about my score against him in that moment. I just wanted to play it well. “The wind picked up in the second set. So, it was faster and you had to just pick a position sometimes and kind of rely on your instinct, and it worked well.” Djokovic will face Marin Cilic on Friday, after the Croatian beat Laslo Djere 4-6 6-3 6-2. Dominic Thiem also progressed with a 6-4 7-5 win over Fabio Fognini.

In the women’s tournament, Simona Halep reached the semi-finals with a 7-5 7-5 win over Ashleigh Barty. Two-times Madrid Open winner Halep, the third seed, won consecutive points with down-the-line forehands to finish off her Australian opponent. “To play in the semi-finals here is a very good result for me,” said Halep. “I enjoy playing here every time. I like the courts, I like the altitude. When I’m happy on court I can play my best tennis.”(dpa/ NAN)

Fortuna Düsseldorf goalkeeper eager for Nigeria U-23 action Fortuna Düsseldorf goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is eagerly looking forward to donning the green and white jersey of Nigeria against Sudan in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture in June. Okoye, 19, who is born to a Nigerian father and a German mother took to the social media to announce his intention and desire to represent the country of his birth. “I’ m coming Home Nigeria! After 13 years. Can’t describe my feelings. Looking forward to the Qualifying matches with the U23 against Sudan. #Olympia2020,” Okoye he wrote on his Twitter handle. Okoye has featured 15 times for Fortuna Düsseldorf B side in the

Regionaliga West this season. He has conceded 25 goals and kept two clean sheets. The U-23 Eagles will face Sudan in the first leg of the qualifier on June 5 in Khartoum with the second leg to take place at he Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa four days later. Imama Amapakabo’s men overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit to edge out Libya 4-2 on aggregate in the previous round. Sudan on the other hand defeated Kenya 2-0 on aggregate to secure their passage to the final round of the qualifiers. The top three countries at the 2019 U-23 AFCON competition that will be hosted by Egypt later in the year will represent the continent in the football event of the 2020

David Ginola: Tottenham ‘one of the greatest clubs around’ after Champions League miracle David Ginola has said that Tottenham have all the parts in place to become a European powerhouse following their thrilling comeback against Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals. Ginola, who played 100 games for Spurs, was talking after the North London club’s breathtaking victory saw them qualify for the Champions League final on Wednesday night. The ex-France international winger believes that the Lilywhites are positioned to be dominant, as a result of prudent planning across all areas of the club. “Every single person now realizes Spurs are one of the clubs to take into consideration,” Ginola told talkSPORT. “Spurs have got every bits and pieces to be a great club. They have a great training centre, a great stadium and now they have a great team. “The combination of [chairman] Daniel Levy, the club itself, [manager Mauricio] Pochettino, the players makes Spurs what they are now on the planet of football – one of the greatest clubs around. “Pochettino has not spent a penny in the last year-and-a-half, probably

the only team that have not spent a lot of money on players. “This is the reward for stability, players getting to know each other in training, this is how you get results.” In addition to praising Pochettino’s long-term vision, the 52-yearold, credited the Argentine for his crucial intervention at half-time in Wednesday’s game. The Spurs boss introduced Fernando Llorente at the break, with his team seemingly down and out, trailing 3-0 on aggregate. The Spanish striker was instrumental in Spurs’ comeback, with a Lucas Moura hat-trick in the second period seeing them through on away goals, and Ginola thinks that substitution encapsulates Pochettino’s abilities. “Pochettino has been criticised so long about not winning any silverware, but his coaching, putting Llorente on, made the whole difference,” he continued. “This is why Pochettino is a great manager, because he can see when the team is not performing well and he has the ability to change the team in a second.

Olympics in Tokyo. Nigeria won the last edition of the competition hosted by Senegal pipping Algeria 2-1 in the final. The competition will take place in Egypt from 8 to 22 November.
