...10 Banks loans provision drop by 56.7% to N235.75bn in 2018

Continued from page 1

losses) in 2018 financial year.

Opposing the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to increase impairment charges, lower provisions have been made by these commercial banks operating in the country.

The 10 commercial banks considered are Ecobank Transnational Incorporated Plc (ETI), Access Bank Plc, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank), Zenith Bank Plc, FBN Holdings and United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc. Others are Fidelity Bank Plc, Unity Bank Plc, FCMB Group Plc and Sterling Bank Plc. The breakdown by our correspondent revealed that ETI reported 34.8 per cent loan loss provision in 2017 from N125.89 billion to N82 billion in 2018 while Access Bank recorded impairment charges of N14.65 billion in 2018, down by 57.5 per cent from N34.5 billion in 2017.

Also, GTBank’s provision declined by 59.6 per cent from N12.2 billion in 2017 to N4.9 billion in 2018, while Zenith Bank ended 2018 with loan loss provision charges of N18.37 billion compared with N98 billion in 2017. And FBN Holdings reported a 42 per cent decline in loan loss provision to N86.9 billion in 2018 from N150.4 billion in 2017.

However, FBN Holdings had explained to investors/ analysts that, “impairment charge for losses declined by 42.2per cent to N86.9 billion in 2018 (2017: N150.4 billion) as we continue to focus on remediation and recovery activities towards improving asset quality.

“Consequently, the cost of credit risk decreased to 3.5per cent (2017: 6.4per cent).

“We remain committed to materially resolving legacy non-performing loans and achieving a single digit NPL

ratio in the current financial year.”

In addition to Tier-1 bank loans lose provision, UBA reported 86 per cent decline in loans loss provision to N4.5 billion from N32.9 billion reported in 2017.

Consequently, Fidelity Bank reported a 62.7 per cent decline in impairment charges for losses to N4.2 billion from N11.3 while Unity Bank last year reported N161.2 million impairment charges for losses, 99.6 per cent decline from N44.25billion reported in 2017.

In addition, FCMB group impairment charges for losses moved from N22.7 billion to N14 billion while Sterling Bank impairment charges for losses dropped by 52.4 per cent to N5.8 billion from N12.27 billion reported in 2017.

Market watchers have expressed that commercial banks deliberately reduce impairment charges for losses to boost profitability, stating that 2018 was not a profitability year for commercial banks over the buildup to 2019 general election and low yields on government securities.

Commenting on this development, Financial Engineer/CEO at Wyoming Capital & Partners, and a Consultant/Dealer with Valmon Securities Limited, Tajudeen Olayinka said: “You must understand that the need for loan loss provisions by banks in Nigeria is statutory, and banks cannot deliberately reduce it in their books to pave way for overstating their profit figures.

“Non-compliance to prudential guidelines by banks will make it inevitable for auditors to qualify accounts of any erring bank.”

Furthermore, he said: “The thing that can explain the reduction in loan loss provisions in 2018 as compared to 2017 figure is the observed reduction in loans to the private sector and state & local governments by as much as 4.24per cent in 2018.

“If you go further to

consider banks’ holding of liquid assets, you will notice that the industry statistic went up to 65.0per cent in Q4 of 2018, from 54.8per cent in Q4 of 2017.

“The prescribed minimum was 30per cent in both years.

This is an indication that deposit money banks were wary of putting more money in risky assets in 2018 because of fear of defaults and the state of the economy, some other factors around the economy.”

Analysts at Cordros Capital Limited had said the decline in impairment charges has been a theme for all tier 1 banks in 2018.

The Lagos based firm noted that despite the implementation of IFRS 9, banks have continued to cautiously lend to the real sector of the economy.

They expressed that “This is as a result of the banks’ cautious approach to loan creation, after the significant deterioration in asset quality experienced during the crux of the economic recession in 2016-2017 when oil prices took a nosedive.

“In fact, what we have seen is a contraction in loan books, as obligors have improved in their loan pay-downs, following the improved economic conditions and rising oil prices.”

The analysts explained that it was also worth stating that the treatment of IFRS 9 initial adjustment via equity has cushioned its impact on the income statement.

“Overall, these have contributed significantly to the sharp drop in impairment charges, particularly for the tier 1 banks,” they declared.

IFRS 9 addresses the accounting for financial instruments and it contains three main topics: classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. It will replace the earlier IFRS for financial instruments, IAS 39, when it becomes effective last year.

Presidential election petition tribunal resumes hearing today Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja will today resume hearing on the petition filed

by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar, Their petition is challenging the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the February 23 presidential election.

The tribunal had on May 22 adjourned further hearing on the case after President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, recused herself from presiding over

the panel.

Justice Bulkachuwa disqualified herself following a motion the petitioners filed to challenge her decision to preside over the five-member panel tribunal.

PDP and Atiku had insisted that Justice Bulkachuwa’s involvement was prejudicial to their case against President Buhari, since her husband and son, are card-carrying members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which is the 3rd Respondent in the petition.

Though the Court of Appeal dismissed Atiku and PDP motion that sought to disqualify Bulkachuwa from

the panel for lacking in merit, Justice Bulkachuwa on May 22 voluntarily stepped aside, promising to appoint another justice to head the panel.

Our correspondent learnt on Sunday that Justice Bulkachuwa may have replaced herself with another female Justice.

A source at the appellate court said that Justice Monica Dongban-Menssem who is currently serving under the Enugu Division of the court, may take-over from Bulkachuwa on the panel.

Other justices on the panel are Abdu Aboki, Peter Ige, Samuel Oseji and Joseph Ikyegh.

2 weeks after inauguration, Buhari yet to make any appointment Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Two weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari was inaugurated for second term in office, he has not announced a single appointment into his administration.

This has raised a lot of concerns by Nigerians on whether the President is going to have a repeat of the 2015 incident which took him six months before he named his cabinet members precisely in mid November 2016.

Economic analysts had attributed President Buhari’s delay in 2015 to name his ministers as largely responsible for the recession that greeted the country in 2016/2017 and have advised against such scenario.

Buhari was elected in 2015, completed his first term and began a second tenure on May 29, 2019.

His first term cabinet was officially dissolved on May 28, alongside all other political appointments with the exception of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, his Chief of Staff, Service Chiefs, National Security Adviser and his media aides and some aides of the Vice President who still operate in

office without reappointment.

Though he promised to run a government with marked improvement on his first term, the president has carried on with his usual slow approach to official activities.

The country has remained bedeviled by acute unemployment crisis, insecurity, infrastructure deficit and other national emergencies that should ordinarily require emergency attention.

The president’s six-month delay in naming a cabinet was partly blamed for Nigeria’s economic recession that began in August 2016. Even with the delay, the president ended up with what many Nigerians believed was a lacklustre cabinet with some ministers facing allegations of corruption.

However, he promised to do better in his second term, but the first 11 days have revealed that he may not stay true to that promise.

Since May 29, the president has not made any appointments of people that would work with him.

He has not named even the secretary to the government of the federation, chief of staff, chief security

Buhari officer, state Chief of protocol, spokespersons or other political appointments that are largely deemed uncomplicated because they require no Senate confirmation.

Despite the widespread criticism the president received in his first term over delay in key appointments, his failure to name anyone in the first

11 days of his second term appears retrogression in comparison.

In his first term, President Buhari named Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu as his spokespersons on May 31, 2015, barely two days after assuming office. Other administration positions were also filled within a short period, but the appointment of

Malami faces disciplinary panel over comments on Dasuki’s detention

Ex-NSA’s family petitions NBA, seeks imposition of sanctions on ex-AGF

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Abubakar Malami (SAN), the immediate past Attorney General of the federation and Minister of Justice, has been summoned to appear before the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee over comment on Sambo Dasuki continues detention.

He will on June 14 face the Disciplinary Panel the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee over a prejudicial statement made against former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who has been in detention since December 2015 despite bails granted to him by the courts.

The hearing notice marked No: PET/LPPC/23/2018 and dated May 16, 2019 signed by Patricia Orhomuru Esq, the Secretary Disciplinary Committee of the Legal Practitioners’ Privilege Committee has been served on Malami.

The notice read in part: “Take notice that the above matter is fixed for hearing by the Disciplinary Committee of the Legal Practitioner Privileged Committee of the Office of Registrar Supreme Court of Nigeria Abuja on June 14, 2019, at 11.00 o’clock in the forenoon.

Malami is expected to face the panel for investigation in a statement credited to him in the Voice of America (VOA) Hausa Service on July 13, 2018, in which he was quoted that Dasuki would not be released despite all subsisting court orders for

his release on bails.

In the audio recording of the interview he granted VOA, Malami had accused Dasuki of being responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 Nigerians during Jonathan’s era.

In the interview, Malami had said: “Remember, we are talking about a person who was instrumental to the deaths of over 100,000 people. Are you saying that the rights of one person are more important than that of 100,000 who lost their lives?”

A Notice of hearing in the petition filed by Dasuki’s family against former AGF indicated that Malami would be interrogated by the committee of the Legal Practitioners at the Office of the Chief Registrar, Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja.

The Dasuki family had petitioned the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) praying for an investigation and sanction of the minister over his unprofessional conducts and utter disregard to the rule of law likely to cause anarchy in the country through his promotion of disobedience to the lawful order of court by the Federal Government.

In the petition dated July 23, 2018, and received by the NBA the same day, the family wanted Malami to be investigated in the resolve of the Federal Government not to comply with any order of court admitting the former NSA to bail and has been unjustly detained for almost four years.

Dasuki family recalled that their

son served Nigeria for 21 years as an officer in the Nigerian Army; Managing Director Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPMC) and later as National Security Adviser to the immediate past administration. They stated that Dasuki in his lifetime has not been convicted of any crime till date.

The petition signed by his wife, Bintu Dasuki; his son, Abubakar Dasuki and his nephew, Umar Dahiru explained how the ordeal of the former NSA started when Buhari’s government came on board with the invasion of his houses in Abuja and Sokoto during which his vital properties including vehicles were carted away by the operatives of the Department of State Security Service (DSS).

The petition also chronicled how Dasuki was arraigned before four different High Courts and was granted bail by all the judges claiming that the charges were bailable offences under the Nigerian law.

They also added that the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) declared the detention of Dasuki as unlawful, null and void and subsequently ordered his immediate release in addition to imposing a fine of N15m on the Federal Government as compensation for the breach of Dasuki’s fundamental rights.

The family regretted that up till date, none of the orders of the high courts and the international court was obeyed by the Federal Government.

The petition noted the latest judgement of Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu on the Federal High Court which on July 2, 2018, admitted Dasuki to bail upon discovery that his detention was a breach of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that of the fundamental right of the Ex-NSA. The Dasuki family claimed that upon meeting the bail condition, the warrant of release of Dasuki on bail signed by the Court was served on the Director General of the SSS and the attorney-general for their compliance with the order of the court.

The family, however, informed the NBA in the petition that rather than complying with the order of the court, the AGF as the Chief Law Officer of the Federation made remarks that the order of the court as relates to Dasuki would not be obeyed by the Federal Ggovernment.

The family wondered whether a lawyer let alone a Senior Advocate of Nigeria ought to have engaged in such an unprofessional utterance that is capable of causing anarchy for the nation.

The NBA was prayed to invoke laws on Code of Ethics on professional code of ethics against Malami, investigate him and impose deserved disciplinary sanctions against him in order to safeguard the rule of law for the country referred the petition to Legal Practitioner and Privileges Committee which has powers to discipline erring Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

the secretary to the government, chief of staff and national security adviser took several weeks.

Although Adesina and Shehu, as well as the chief of staff, Abba Kyari and a host of other political aides are still working in unofficial capacity, but their appointments still need to be renewed to meet the requirements of the law, according to lawyer, Inibehe Effiong.

Effiong said all the political offices filled by Buhari, except tenured appointments, have to be renewed because they expired with the president’s first term.

“The SGF and the chief of staff should have been reappointed within 24 hours rather than keeping them doing government work in unofficial capacity.”

Effiong said he had approached the court for a judicial review of the president’s action, saying it may cost Nigeria too much damage if not immediately addressed.

“For a president who has spent four years, it shows a lack of leadership and direction that he cannot learn quickly from the past and make swift appointments to kick the government running.”

“It seemed like if this man is in office for another 100 years, he would still not be able to navigate his activities,” Effiong said, adding, “It is a national tragedy.”

“He should have prepared the list and then send it to the National Assembly immediately they convene so they can clear the ministers to start work,” Effiong said.

“This country is in a very bad shape and we cannot afford to be wasting much-needed time when even developed countries are running 24 hours.”

The lawyer said that he was troubled that the president has not bothered to clarify the status of his aides despite the concerns it has elicited from the public.

A chieftain of the ruling party, Engineer Bala Ka’oje, reacting to the delay by President Buhari, said: “In leading Nigeria, every president has to be very careful because Nigerians, we don’t have patience to wait for a long time.

“If a president takes a long time to appoint ministers, people already see him as a failure and they start calling him names.

“You could remember, it took a very long time before people stopped calling him “Baba Go Slow.” I believe that he has learnt a lesson on that and he will not take a long time to appoint his ministers because if he said that when he came first he didn’t know those people outside, he only knew those who were closely interacting with him, that could cause a problem for him.

“There is always a way out because I know you and you know someone.

This is how people interact together to look for the right material for the leader to appoint.

“It’s not right for the small circle to do it and if the small circle is allowed to do it then there is possibility there might be wrong selection of people that would do the job.

“I am sure this time the president will be fast I believe that very soon, he would come out with his list.”

Finally, Buhari accepts Justice Bandits kill 18 persons in Sokoto Onnoghen’s resignation Presidency sympathises with Writes acting CJN on appointment of 5 Supreme Court Justices

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu buhari has finally accepted the voluntary retirement from service of Hon. Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria, effective from May 28, 2019.

The President thanked Justice Onnoghen for his service to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and wished him the best of retirement life.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this on Sunday.

Justice Onnoghen was suspended on January 25 2019

by President Buhari over an allegation of corruption and on Thursday, April 4, the embattled CJN resigned from office but his resignation was not acknowledged by the

Presidency.

Onnoghen was reported to have sent his resignation letter to the President on Thursday April 4, 2019 barely 24 hours after the National Judicial Council concluded investigating him for various allegations of misconduct.

Meanwhile, President Buhari has written the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Tanko Muhammad, on the appointment of additional five Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The President wrote: ‘‘Pursuant to the provisions of Section 230(2) A&B of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), I am pleased to request that you initiate in earnest the process of appointing additional five Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to make

Andrew Orolua and Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

Onnoghen the full complement of 21 Justices as provided by the aforementioned provisions of the Constitution. ‘‘This is in line with the Government’s Agenda of repositioning the Judiciary in general and Supreme Court

in particular for greater efficiency, with a view to reducing the backlogs of appeals pending at the Supreme Court. ‘‘Please accept, your Lordship, the assurances of my highest regards.’’

Smuggling, dumping, challenges to economic policies – Emefiele Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, says the bank, with some stakeholders, have identified smuggling and dumping as major challenges sabotaging the Nigerian economic policies.

The governor said this on the sideline of a consultative roundtable titled, “Going for Growth” with some economic stakeholders in Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the essence of the rountable was to encourage participants to highlight important building blocks that will lead to greater economic growth in the country.

It also involves the CBN

Governor listening to their ideas and views on how productivity and investments by companies operating in Nigeria can be improved.

Others include how to reduce the nation’s dependence on imported goods and increase exports of non-oil goods and services.

Emefiele said, “We have identified smugglers and people dumping goods as those who sabotage those policies and we decided that we will deal with them.

“The strategy that we came up with is that we will not bother ourselves with them.

“There is an agency of government that is responsible

for border control and if these people pass through the border control we would use the instrumentality of being the regulator of the banking system to make sure that we get the banks to provide all details about them.

“We investigate their accounts and if they are found in economic sabotage, boarding, smuggling and dumping in Nigeria, we would not only block their accounts, we would close their accounts in all the Nigerian banks simultaneously.

He also said the CBN asked commercial banks to close those companies’ accounts and those of the top members of such entities.

The bank chief said CBN in due course would come up with the names of those that had been identified.

“We want to be sure that we come up with something that is credible and cannot be denied.

“At this stage we have already blocked the accounts of some in the textile and rice and palm oil company.

“We are investigating those accounts and as information becomes clearer, we can clearly say that they committed the offence.

“We would then go to the next level which is to forbid any Nigerian bank from maintaining accounts for these people,” he said.

Lawyers canvass for 9th National Assembly independence Andrew Orolua, Abuja A cross- section of lawyers have called for the independence of the 9th National Assembly as an arm of government that can check the excesses of other arms.

They also want the National Assembly which is due for inauguration tomorrow to settle down quickly and the pass quality bill that will address the state of insecurity in the country.

Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), said though he expected the 9th National Assembly to cooperate with the Executive arm of the government, “it must not do so at the expense of its own independence as an arm of government that participates

in the inbuilt constitutional checks and balances.”

“It should not be a rubber stamp to executive desires and nuances,” he added.

According to him, any National Assembly worthy of its name as the 8th Assembly must rise up and use its oversight powers under sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) to check the excesses of the other Judicial and Executive arms of government.

Particularly, he stated that “the usually intolerant, overhearing, dictatorial, arm-twisting and imperious Executive arm that controls the coercive apparatchik of state power and forces.”

“A National Assembly must defend the Nigerian people at all times because governments

Sokoto over killings

like soldiers, come and go, while the barracks (the people, the real owners of power) remain.

Also speaking, an Abuja based legal practitioner, Mike Kassa, called on the yet to be inaugurated 9th assembly to address and curb insecurity in the country.

He said they can do this by quality legislation and passage of the state and local government police bill.

Kassa, who made this call in Abuja at the weekend, insisted the move was long overdue.

According to Kassa, such action would go a long way in ensuring adequate policing of the citizenry and help combat kidnapping, banditry and other crimes that has become a daily occurrence in the country.

“Nigeria is under-policed and for us to combat the spate

of banditry, kidnapping and other forms of crime, now is the time to embrace state police,” he said.

Another Abuja based legal practitioner, Okechukwu Uju-Azorji, said that one of the greatest problems that militated against some of the good bills passed by the 8th assembly was the executive assent.

He said one of the loveliest bills the 9th assembly should pass is the National Health Insurance Bill that is being proposed to cover just ten percent of the country’s population, adding that the scheme should be extended to all Nigerians.

“If need be the 9th assembly should by-pass the president and pass quality bills for the benefit of Nigerians,” he added.

Rampaging gunmen suspected to be bandits seeking land occupation have killed no fewer than 18 persons across villages in Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

The attack also left four others persons seriously wounded with various degrees of injuries, the chairman, Zakkat and Endowment Commission and member, Sokoto State committee on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Malam Lawal Maidoki, said on Sunday.

Maidoki, who disclosed this to reporters in Sokoto, said that council chairman and a team of joint security operatives have been drafted to Rakumni, Tsage and Kalgo for rescue operation and to pick the corpses for burial.

He described the incident as one of the most recent dastardly attacks in the state. Similar deadly attacks were carried out across 8 villages in Rabah Local Government Area last year with several people killed and displaced.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed deep shock and sadness over the death of scores of people in the banditry attacks which occurred on Saturday in three communities in Rabah Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State.

The Daily Times gathered that no fewer than 50 people were killed in four villages in the local governments.

Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu on Sunday, stated that President Buhari was briefed about the incident and the arrests so far made by the Police and has condoled with Governor Aminu Tambuwal and the people of the state over the tragic incident.

The President strongly condemned all acts of violence and terrorism against innocent Nigerians, reiterating that perpetrators and sponsors of such dastardly acts would be held accountable under the law.

The President prayed for the quick recovery of all those injured and assured

that his administration will not relent in the fight to neutralise terrorists, bandits and kidnappers around the country.

The victims were buried on Saturday according to Islamic rites, with Governor Aminu Tambuwal, SSG, Commissioner of Police, and some other government functionaries in attendance.

According to source, in Isa local government area, about 25 people were killed with several others injured.

The source said that the bandits stormed Sapiru village, in Tozai ward in Isa local government area at about 5pm on more than 30 motorcycles.

The witness narrated that the bandits entered the town shooting sporadically, killing 18 people instantly while another seven later died.

He added that 14 people were currently receiving treatment at the general hospital.

“Another two who were in critical conditions were moved to Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), and another one to the Orthopeadic hospital in Wamakko,” a news source reported.

Also in Rabah local government, where Governor Tambuwal attended the burial rites, 25 people in Kalfu, Tsage, Rakonni and Geeri villages were killed in another attack.

The police spokesman in the state, ASP Sadiq Abubakar, while confirming the incidents, said four suspects had been arrested.

“Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the weekend attacks; they are in our custody, and will sure help us in our investigation,” he added.

A security source said that a woman, pretending to have psychiatric issues, alleged to be an informant to the bandits, was among the four suspects in police custody.

Meanwhile, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, while condoling with survivors, mandated the Sokoto Zakat committee, Isa and Rabah local government councils, to come to the aid of the internallydisplaced persons.

FG must change budgeting system to Short News achieve results – Rep. Lar Saraki donates severance allowance to Henry Omunu, Abuja

House of Representatives member from Plateau state, Rep. Beni Lar, has advised the Buhari administration to change the current budgeting system if a sizeable percentage of the annual budget is to be implemented to achieve the desired results, declaring that the envelope system is outdated and unworkable.

She asserted that the envelope system of budgeting is the bane of the budgeting process in the country.

Rep. Lar, who spoke on the state of the nation, told newsmen in Abuja at the weekend, that the envelope system which provides expenditure benchmarks for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) was archaic, slow and responsible for Nigeria’s continued failed budget implementation and unnecessary friction between the Presidency and the National Assembly.

The House member stated that the budgeting process can only improve if there is synergy between the executive and the legislature, adding that such an engagement drastically reduce the budget time which is often between 7-9 months.

According to her, the legislature will at

no time be a rubber stamp to the executive and as such would require ample time to scrutinize budget estimates before passing them, insisting that the synergy and constant inter-face would assist in the drafting of the budget proposals by the executive, its consideration and eventual passage by the National Assembly.

The former Chairman, House Committee on Science and Technology in the 8th Assembly, stated that things budget objectives can only be achieved when the executive submits to the superior constitutional powers of oversight as donated to the legislature by the constitution.

She therefore, argued that it is when the National Assembly scrutinizes the finances of MDAs during oversight that a detailed understanding of how the agencies faired or implemented funds allocated to them in a fiscal year can avail the legislature insights into how to make the next budget workable and implementable.

In a related development, she lamented that it is the same lack of synergy between the executive and the legislature that was responsible for the high number of bills passed into law by the 8th Assembly that were not assented to by President Muhhamadu Buhari, arguing that

majority of the rejected bills would have had great impact on the lives of Nigerians.

She said that the National Assembly must perform its constitutional role of law making, oversight, budget consideration and approval so that the common man and Nigerians are not short-changed.

“The greatest challenge for the National Assembly is when President Buhari declined assent to so many bills. These bills affect Nigerians and as such the President should pass them.

“We have passed laws, but how often are these laws implemented? Without oversight, law-making has no effect. We must not pass laws alone, but ensure it is implemented. The executive doesn’t like us to ask them questions, especially on expenditure. But, it must continue in order to strengthen the powers of oversight.

Rep. Lar, who also spoke on the state of insecurity in the country, opined that insecurity was fast becoming a general thing, adding that “there is a breakdown of law and order in Nigeria. It is a social problem” and blamed the Buhari administration for retaining the same security chiefs for too long “We can’t get something new from the same old people. They need to be changed,” she added.

Leah Sharibu’s family, others Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Senate President Bukola Saraki has directed the National Assembly management to distribute his severance allowance to the families of Leah Sharibu and two other aid workers killed by Boko Haram terrorists.

He also instructed that children of late senators in need of financial assistance benefit from the allowance.

In a statement by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki stated the families of Hussaini Ahmed Khoisan and Hauwa Liman, the two murdered aid workers by Boko Haram fighters should also be included.

In the case of the late senators’ children, Saraki directed that a trust fund should be established by the management of the National Assembly for those who may require financial assistance in furtherance of their education.

He stated that his decision to use the severance package to support the selected victims of the insurgency was based on the fact that their cases represented some of the most touching humanitarian issues debated at the plenary during the four-years of the eighth Senate and on which his colleagues and himself made emotional and passionate speeches.

Ooni commends Nevobasi’s effort in strengthening traditional institutions Moses Oyediran, Enugu The Oonis of Ife, Oba Babatunde Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has commended the effort of Igwe Cyprian Maduabuchukwu Nevobasi, Ezeani 111 of Agunese Mmaku in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu state in strengthening the relationship among traditional institutions across Nigeria.

The revered traditional ruler made the commendation when Igwe Nevobasi paid him a courtesy visit recently at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun state.

“By this visit to Ife ancient kingdom, Igwe Nevobasi of Mmaku Kingdom has cemented the relationship between Yoruba and Igbo people. It is a memorable event to have Igwe Nevobasi in Ile-Ife this day.

“We appreciate the love you have for us. The handshake across the Niger should continue.

We are happy with your cultural heritage. We are the real aborigines of African race,” he said.

The Ooni also applauded the philanthropic activities of Igwe Nevobasi, adding that he has not only lifted the drooping spirits of the oppressed and the less privileged, but has also helped in promote peace in Enugu state.

Recall that not long ago, Igwe Nevobasi donated two Hummer buses worth N25 million to the Enugu state Police Command to help the police in the security of lives and property in the state.

He said it was his own way of supporting what Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration is doing to ensure security in the state, as well as appreciate the commissioner of police in the state and his officers and men for their achievement in the area of security.

The Ooni sad such gestures contributed in no small measure to activate the activities of security operatives in the state.

Earlier in his speech, Igwe Nevobasi said the visit was a royal handshake across the Niger and to identify with the Ooni’s project of maintaining national unity and cohesion among the people of Nigeria.

UNIMAID develops device to stimulate Alpha jet performance The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) on Sunday said it has developed a local device to stimulate the performance of the Alpha jets used by the Nigerian Air Force in light attacks and advance training.

Coordinator of intellectual property and technology transfer of the university, Prof. Ba’ana Bukar, disclosed this in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

Prof. Bukar said that the device known as anti-skid braking system helps in slowing down the speed of the aircraft and maintaining its balance even on wet runways.

“The device was developed by Muhammad Shuwa from the Centre

for Entrepreneurship of the university.

As I am talking to you, this device has already been put to use on the Alpha jet,” the academic said.

Also, he said that the university has developed “a hybrid solar drier, an equipment that can be used to dry fish and other agricultural produce using charcoal at night and solar during the day. This was the first innovation produced in the university by Muinat Bello.”

He added further that the university has obtained a patent licence for the products to prevent intellectual property theft.

According to him, the university is working on producing a cylindrical

parabolic reflecting telecom device that can be used by the armed forces to detect movement in the nation’s air space.

He said that that such a device would be used to consolidate on the efforts of the military in the ongoing counter- insurgency operations.

Prof. Bukar said that the university has organised sensitisation workshops in partnership with the National Office of Technology Acquisition Promotion (NOTAP) to enhance the capacity of staff in the area of intellectual property.

He bemoaned that poor funding and lack of partnership opportunities has stalled many researches and inventions at the university.

The Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike has given recognised chiefs and leaders of Andoni Local Government Area, a 72-hour ultimatum to ensure the release of three kidnapped expatriates of Raffoul Nigeria Limited who were involved in the construction of the Unity Road in the area.

Piqued by the incident, Gov. Wike said failure to secure the release of the three expatriates allegedly kidnapped by Andoni youth at the expiration of the ultimatum, he would formally withdraw the recognition of all government recognised chiefs in the local government area and cancel the Andoni aspect of the Unity Road project.

Gov. Wike further stated that other communities across the state must take measures to protect contractors and workers executing projects in their localities, warning that the same sanctions would be meted to communities where chiefs and leaders allow contractors to be kidnapped.

Last week three workers were abducted from the site of the Unity Road in Andoni under construction. The act is suspected to have been carried out by gunmen suspected to be youth from the area.

Members-elect drum support for Gbajabiamila, Wase

Two members-elect of the House of Representatives, Sha’aban Sharada and Hafiz Ibrahim have called on members to vote massively for Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila and Ahmad Wase for speaker and deputy speaker respectively of the 9th House of Representatives.

The members, who represent the Municipal and Tarauni Federal Constituencies of Kano state made the call in a joint statement on Sunday in Abuja. The members said that the two candidates were qualified for the positions owing to their track record of knowledge, experience and capacity.

They said that Nigerians would benefit from the leadership of Gbajabiamila and Wase if elected.

The members-elect said they were optimistic that their leadership would foster synergy between the two chambers of the National Assembly and harmonious relationship between the executive and the legislature.

They added that the Gbajabiamila/Wase ticket would also enable President Muhammadu Buhari to take Nigeria to the next level.

The endorsement is a further boost to the Gbajabiamila/Wase campaign corganization, following the endorsement of the duo by first term House members from the six geo-political zones at the Chelsea Hotel, Abuja on Saturday evening.

Oyo’s N3000 School fees debacle

Festus Adedayo

Did Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State realize that, in his first official pronouncement on May 29, 2019 stopping the payment of N3000 by school pupils, he had unwittingly provoked a strong ideological sentiment which had been bottled overtime? Discussions on this issue have polarized indigenes and residents along divides of ideology, class and beliefs.

My confession: I was very upset with the new governor at this pronouncement. Not strictly on the pedestal of ideology, I felt Makinde was merely playing to the gallery. Why would a governor stop the payment of a meager fee of N3000, payable by parents and guardians in 365 days, approximating a little less than a hundred naira per day, an amount that has helped, no matter how insignificantly, in putting public education at whatever level it was in the state?

If there was one issue on which the ex-Governor of the state, Abiola Ajimobi, received ceaseless strictures in reviews of his 8-year tenure, the state of education and health was at its apogee. In the midst of this welter of criticisms, the former state helmsman however claimed that he performed to his optimal on these scores. He cited some model schools, some renovated schools and a few others as anchor of his performance. At campaign podia however, Makinde consistently attacked this Ajimobi optimum, claiming that there was the need to declare an emergency on education in Oyo. He gave graphic census of decaying school infrastructure, bludgeoning number of children per class, embarrassingly huge number of outof-school children, disorientation of teachers due to governmental disincentive policies and the departure of the philosophy of academy in schools whose major preoccupation should be academics. But, was stopping the payment of N3000 a logical anchor of this proposed reform?

Kudos, condemnations, in equal measure, poured for Makinde on this maiden pronouncement. I belonged to the category of those who erected the crucifix for him to mount. My averments were as follows: By it, Makinde merely worsened the indolence and irresponsibility of many a Yoruba parent who are gradually mimicking the irresponsible model of Northern Nigerian parenting where a horde of kids are brought to life and dumped on the laps of society. This irresponsible parenting is the bane of the social crises of violence and insurgency that Nigeria is grappling with at the moment. If a parent cannot afford to pay N100 per day for 365 days on a child he sired, he is not worthy of being the vehicle of birthing such a child to life,

I believe. Awareness of giving education to kids is far more acute in Southern Nigeria today. We are ready to sell all we have in this regard. In the morning, you will see the driver shouldering his child on the way to the Nursery school. He is suddenly aware that the difference between you, his boss and him is not that you are more brilliant but your parents gave you education and his didn’t. He thus doesn’t want his child’s fate to be like his.

More significantly is that many of this same set of parents that Makinde’s spike of N3000 fees is abetting “declare” drinks at beer parlours, spend sums in excess of this amount at Owambe gigs but are reluctant to contribute to impacting their children to live meaningful lives. Also of note is the Yoruba ancient wise saying that a talisman put in phial that is not procured by the pain of monetary consideration idles away behind the fireplace in the kitchen. Parenting should come with some measure of pains – pains of birth, scampering hither thither at children’s infancy and raising the child. Parenting in leisure is un-enduring. I-Roy, Jamaican reggae star, once parodied the biblical maxim of man being made to suffer and woman created to feel the pains (on account of their children).

My second beef was Makinde’s ostensible haste that would not allow him to wait a little while to weigh the financial muscle of the state he had just been sworn in to govern before making this consequential pronouncement.

At a discussion on the issue later however, someone told me that the governor had, in an interview he granted before his swearing in, summed up the number of pupils in the state at about 400,000 and approximating the amount accruable from the fee payment to government to be in the neighbourhood of N1.2billion. So, is N1.2billion that negligible and can’t be factored into Oyo’s lean resources? From what I gathered, Oyo’s IGR and monthly dole-out from FAAC oscillate around N7billion, with a wage bill of slightly above N5billion. If Governor Makinde will ultimately pay the N30000 wage, the wage bill should shoot up to about N9billion, leaving monthly shortfall of close to N2billion. So, wouldn’t N100million that a yearly N1.2billion from the N3000 fee will come to, help, no matter how tiny, in the financial straits that Makinde will confront?

Makinde’s reply to this criticism is said to hang on three prongs. The first is that his May 29 pronouncement was borne out of his commitment to fulfilling promises. The fee

cancellation was a solemn promise he made on campaign podia to the people of Oyo State.

Whether he should renege or fulfill this promise, he is said to have argued, is a matter of honour.

Should Oyo have a honourable helmsman or one who breaks promises at his whim? Of importance is said to be Makinde’s belief that as elite, we are at liberty to disparage the difficulty of procuring N3000 by a parent, our argument being that, it is too token, but that, if you go to Oyo hospitals and see indigent compatriots dying for not having N500 for hospital bills, you will realize that payment of the N3000 was one reason that jerked up the number of children, barely off their diapers, who sell sachet water on Oyo streets.

Second is said to be Makinde’s unofficial discovery, even before assuming office, that there were a number of willful, selfish bursting of Oyo State resource pipes by some avaricious officials of the exited government, pipes which were then redirected into local and foreign personal accounts. Since he had forswore to run a government that won’t tinker with Oyo people’s patrimony and being a very wealthy man from his private enterprise, Governor Makinde had no qualms dispensing with a negligible funding like N3000 per annum which though looks insignificant but burrowed deep holes in the purses of the ordinary parent in the state. He is said to be of the opinion that, now that the leaked pipes that led to underdeclaration of Oyo earnings will be mended by his chastity in government, Oyo will meet its social responsibilities to all sectors, including education. The Makinde school of thought is also of the opinion that his declaration in his inaugural to jerk up the budget of education to 10%, from a paltry 5% at the moment, with a yearly incremental adjustment to meet UNESCO recommendation by the time his 4-year tenure is over, is a further testimony of his abidance by the credo of changing the education landscape and coheres with his commitment to making a difference.

I still stand by my earlier averment that Makinde should not, by whatever mode he is bringing remedy to the sagging morale of the people of the state, indulge the people not to pay whatever is legitimately their role to contribute to the uplift of the state’s finances. Permit me to restate that wise-saying again, to wit that a phial of talisman not procured with cash is always tossed behind the fireplace. For the quality education that Western Nigeria got in the First Republic, the people paid through a properly

modulated tax regime. It is on record that Chief S.L. Akintola’s decision as Premier in 1961 to reduce prices of cocoa – being the main export commodity in the Western Region – was one of the core issues that grounded his government.

On January 12, 1961, Awolowo had met Premier Akintola to advise him against the reduction of prices mid-cocoa season, submitting that it would be a breach of faith. Though he promised the Leader he would not, Akintola went ahead to address a press conference on January 13, 1961 to announce new prices of cocoa for the rest of the season. What followed was an immense crisis. Even the Minister of Finance in the NCNC/NPC coalition, Chief Festus OkotieEboh, denounced the Akintola government as “not justified in reducing the price of cocoa paid to the producers…to save the Board’s (Marketing) reserve of surplus.”

Soon, the effects of this reduction began to be felt. On January 4, 1962, Akintola’s Western Regional Minister of Education, Dr. Sanya Onabamiro, addressed a press conference increasing what was called Assumed Local Contributions in Western Nigeria’s Secondary Grammar Schools, school fees in short, to £75 per annum per pupil. The Tribune and other newspapers began a series of attacks on this policy. In a two-part volley of sarcastic and acidic editorials entitled Indefensible, the newspaper derided Akintola’s plan. Even the Daily Express, edited by the irrepressible Aiyekoto, Bisi Onabanjo, joined the fray with an editorial comment it entitled Slowing down progress, to deplore the Akintola policy, calling it “a dishonest piece of work lacking in logic and public good.” Due to these attacks, in a press conference addressed by the Premier himself on January 8, 1962 at the Ikeja VIP residency, the school fees policy was stopped.

I have no doubt in me that Makinde will outperform his predecessors. I also believe that his policies thus far – donation of his salaries, abridgment of the tenure of council heads, review of last-minute decisions of the last government and others were genuine decisions made to eliminate systemic gridlocks that can clog his avowal to resituate Oyo and delink it from the dross of the immediate past. His charge should be to spend the next 100 days erecting solid, visible and logical foundation, especially in education, health and wealth creation. It is then he will be able to totally convince us – the naysayers – that, abridging the payment of N3000 in Oyo State schools was worth it after all.

INEC and Okorocha’s Certificate of Return

Carl Umegboro

JUSTICE Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on 7th June, 2019 ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a Certificate of Return to Owelle Rochas Okorocha as Senatorelect for Imo West Senatorial District following an application he filed against the Commission for withholding his Certificate of Return. In the judgment, the judge emphatically stated “Once a declaration is made and returns thereafter, INEC becomes functus officio and has no power under any law to withhold Certificate of Returns….action of INEC not to issue Certificate of Return is unknown to the Constitution and the Electoral Act”.

The Returning officer in the Senatorial District, Professor Innocent Ibeawuchi had alleged he declared Okorocha a winner under duress, and as a result, the Commission withheld the Certificate of Return. Strangely, apart from the allegations, the Commission has not presented another version of result as authentic to show the discrepancies as well as equip other contestants accordingly to face Okorocha at the Electoral Tribunal. By the silence despite alleged ‘unadulterated results’, is it possible that INEC is merely playing on people’s intelligence? Consequently, Okorocha after scores of futile demand for Certificate of Return approached the court for redress.

Fundamentally, Section 75(2) of the Electoral Act provides, “Where the Commission refuses or neglects to

issue a Certificate of Return, a Certified True Copy of the order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall, ipso facto, be sufficient for the purpose of swearingin a candidate declared winner by that court”. By the construction of the above provision, it is undoubtedly, absolutely unlawful for INEC to withhold under any circumstances, a Certificate of Return after declaring a candidate as winner. The terms “refuses or neglects” used in the Act practically, sensibly show that such actions are offensive, impermissible and a faux pas. In other words, all that the candidate needs before the court is the result sheet showing that he was declared a winner. Any other things can wait at the tribunal. INEC characteristically concludes its major tasks the moment it announces a winner.

Of course, such weighty allegations of misconducts against an aspirant to a public office are condemnable and shouldn’t be condoned. Nonetheless, it doesn’t fall within the duties of the Commission but exclusively the law enforcement agency - Police. INEC’s duty commences from organizing, conducting to supervising elections and not to delve into criminal matters. The statutory agency that handles civil disorders including people that levy wars on constituted authorities in the discharge of official duties exists.

Equally, a constituted body is vested with the responsibility for all redresses vis-àvis election matters.

Suffice to say that where the Commission has allegations of irregularities in the course of a poll but

didn’t cancel the exercise, the appropriate action is to formally shift it to the two relevant agencies; the Police if crimes are involved for prosecution, and then the Election Tribunal for redress. This procedure is ethically anchored on the fundamental principle of law, “Nemo judex in causa sua” (One cannot be a judge in his own case). Hence, the Commission cannot aptly be a complainant and also the judge in its own case.

If allowed, winners will begin to emerge at the mercy of INEC and politicians instead of people’s votes. In fact, allowing INEC to allege, decide and punish is a clear drift to dictatorship or tyranny which may turn against any directions someday knowing that whatever goes around comes around. An Anglo-Irish philosopher, Edmund Burke said, “Law and arbitrary power are at eternal enmity”.

Beyond that, a Certificate of Return as a rule, albeit is issued in the candidate’s names, but essentially, it is the sacred mandate of the people. It goes beyond a personal property, and commission of crimes by the holder doesn’t affect the mandate except a court of competent jurisdiction ruled otherwise. It is only a court that can nullify a mandate, and therefore immaterial that a candidate allegedly did this or that, the votes of the people must count until proved otherwise.

That’s the hallmark of universal suffrage – the people decide.

Do I therefore support or encourage illegalities and unlawful conducts in the society; a thousand times NO. Anybody

that breaks the law should face the wrath of the law. However, the point is that withholding Certificate of Returns under any guise is ultra vires to INEC based on the law that established the Commission. The same way hoodlums are subjected to prosecution over criminal conducts during polls will apply to a candidate believed to have indulged in unlawful conducts during the exercise.

But it clearly has no nexus with people’s mandate. If not, corrupt politicians will connive with Returning officers and use sundry allegations as a new ploy to deny electorates their mandate after emerging a winner. It implies issuance of Certificate of Returns may begin to trade for megabucks in future.

Of course, the electoral umpire has powers to declare a poll inconclusive if the criteria are met, otherwise, everything shifts to the constituted tribunal after conclusion. To sum, there is no room for discretions to apply as it is an uncomplicated matter without a trace of lacuna. By Electoral act, INEC has no powers to interfere with a result once declared. Thus, Justice Abang distinctively gave a sound judgment devoid of emotions and sentiments; instead it overwhelmingly synchronized with rule of law and sense of responsibility. If discretion must be applied by the court, it should be to award costs against the Commission for its arbitrariness. Incidentally, court lacks jurisdiction to grant reliefs not expressly sought (Akinterinwa v Oladunjoye (2000) 4 KLR (pt 99) 753).

Editorial Commentary

9th NASS: APC Governors throw weight behind Lawan and Gbajabiamila`s leadership aspirations Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have backed the candidacy of Senate Leader, Sen. Ahmad Lawan and Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila for the ninth National Assembly leadership.

The governors under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum took the decision at a closed door meeting held at the Kebbi Governor’s Lodge on Sunday night in Abuja.

Governor of Kebbi, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu and Chairman of the Forum while briefing newsmen at the end of meeting, said the governors took the decision in compliance with the directive of the party’s

national leadership.

He used the opportunity of the meeting which was the first after the general elections,to welcome newly elected governors into the forum.

Bagudu asked all party members in the National Assembly to vote for the two leaders, saying the forum was solidly behind the decision of the party.

He added that the forum believed that the leadership of the party took the right decision when they opted to support Lawan and Gbajabiamila for the principal offices.

On other offices in the ninth National Assembly, Bagudu said they were party offices and that the party

would take a decision on them.

He also said the governors were solidly behind President Muhammadu Buhari as the party’s leader, assuring that they would work with him to take the country to the next level.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)reports that present at the meeting were the governors of Edo, Kwara, Kogi, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kano, Jigawa, Ekiti, Osun, and Lagos states.

Others are the governors of Gombe and Niger, as well as the Deputy Governors of Borno and Kaduna States.

Governors of Katsina, Ogun, Ondo and Yobe states were however absent from the meeting. (NAN)

1 out of 5 individuals vulnerable to mental illness – Experts A team of Medical Experts from the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Kano (AKTH) have said that one out of five individuals are vulnerable to mental illness.

The Team led by Dr Muktar Gadanya of Department of Community Medicine, and Dr Auwal Salihu of Department of Psychiatry, stated this during a Community Awareness Campaign Programme organised in collaboration with the Neuro-Psychiatry Hospital, Kware, Sokoto State, in Ringim on Sunday.

The medical experts explained that the sensitisation

was desigdesiged for people in the North West geopolitical zone, pointing out that Jigawa is so far the sixth state benefiting from campaign.

Gadanya said are over 300 diagnosable mental illnesses; some mild, some are moderate while some are severe, adding that they are curable.

“Mild and moderate illness are about 80 per cent while the severe ones are only 20 per cent, “The signs and symptoms of the severe mental illnesses include hearing something that other people don’t hear, seeing something that other people don’t see, aggressiveness,

restlessness, poor sleep, talking alone, laughing alone and so on.

“The mild and moderate are depression, anxiety, persistent doubtfulness, pains, sleep problems, sexual problem and forgetfulness, among others.”

On his part, Salihu said the causes of mental illnesses are multiple, which include genetics, environmental, infection, drugs and stress.

Salihu said that the prevention against mental illnesses is promoting mental health hygiene, identification and treatment, rehabilitation and drug abuse prevention, and treatment of people with mental

JAMB says no candidate has more than one UTME result The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says no candidate of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has more than one result.

The board stated this in its weekly bulletin released from the office of the Registrar on Sunday in Abuja.

The bulletin quoted the Head, Media and Publications, Dr Fabian Benjamin, as saying that candidates with more than one result were either fraudulent or victims of examination syndicates.

According to him, the board has evidence of some candidates who paid money to syndicates to ensure they gain high scores in the examination.

“The syndicates, realising that they could not deliver as promised, instead, came up with these forged results and sent

same to candidates who believed them.

“These are the set of candidates claiming to have two results, that is, with the actual result as one of them.

“It is practically impossible to have two results because we do not send results to candidates, rather, candidates send ‘Results’ to 55019 and the result is subsequently transmitted to the respective candidates.”

Benjamin added that the board has ensured that the UTME results were secured with high security features that would render the efforts of any syndicate or fraudter null.

One of such features, he added was a unique bar code placed on each result to safeguard it.

He, however warned that candidates must not become gullible and desperate and urged

9

them to be wary of criminal elements who want to defraud them.

Benjamin also said that the board’s renewed resolve to confront examination malpractice headlong, was yielding results.

He pointed out that the board was not responsible for deciding a national cutoff mark for admissions into various institutions, adding that the board had not set a cutoff mark for the 2019/20 admission process.

He, however, explained that a national cutoff mark would be decided at the JAMB Policy meeting of education shareholders and heads of institutions to be chaired by a Ministry of Education official.

He said the meeting would hold on June 11 at Gbongan, Osun state. (NAN)

OUR POSITION Containing rising deaths from sickle cell anaemia

S

ickle cell disease affects an increasing number of people but is still unknown to the general public.

More than 66% of the 120 million people in the world with sickle cell disease live in Africa. In Nigeria, about 150, 000 children are said to be born yearly with the debilitating disease, heightening the need for all hands to be on deck to checkmate the disease.

The condition can cause extreme pain, life-threatening infections and other complications such as stroke or loss of vision. The disease can interfere with many aspects of the patient’s life, including education, employment and psychosocial development. Despite the disastrous consequences, they do not receive adequate attention.

In particular, the sources of funding for the fight against these diseases and the technical partners involved are insufficient.

The burden of blood-related diseases could be considerably reduced if cost-effective preventive and curative measures and interventions are implemented in a balanced and coordinated manner.

In 2008, Ministers of Health from the WHO African region adopted a regional strategy to combat sickle cell disease and in some countries where sickle cell disease is a major public health concern, control programmes do exist. However, these have neither the national coverage nor basic facilities to manage patients.

Systematic screening for SCD using a simple blood test is not a common practice, and diagnosis is usually made

when a severe complication occurs.

Counselling and prevention of causes and infections are simple measures not readily accessible to most patients. As a result, the majority of children with the most severe form of the disease die before the age of five, usually from an infection or severe anaemia.

We are of the opinion that there is an urgent need to tackle the disease. We must continue to make an effort so that together with our brothers and sisters from other continents, we can win the noble fight against blood diseases in Nigeria and Africa.

Our States alone, without the precious support of partners, will not be able to cope with information, communication, education, screening, case management and also basic research in this field.

SCA is a significant and underrecognized global health problem, and with new SDG efforts focused on ending preventable deaths of newborns and children under the age of 5 it is essential to specifically include SCA in that effort. With increased availability of POC diagnostics and inexpensive and highly effective treatments, such as hydroxyurea, simple efforts can result in millions of lives saved.

Pediatricians have the unique opportunity to be leaders in improving the health of children not only in our local practices, but also across the world.

Increasing the visibility and advocacy for less commonly recognised childhood health conditions, such as SCA, can lead to important changes and provides an opportunity to save millions of lives.

Why we handed Goje’s N25bn fraud case to AGF’s office – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that the office of the attorney-general of the federation has the constitutional power to take-over any criminal case at any stage of investigation following the controversy that has trailed the anti-graft agency’s withdrawal from the fraud and money laundering trial of Senator Danjuma Goje.

Spokesman for the EFCC, Tony Orilade, made this known in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Sunday.

Orilade was reacting to the takeover of the case of alleged N25 billion fraud filed against former Gombe state Governor, Sen. Danjuma Goje by the anti-graft commission.

He explained that by virtue of the existing law, the office of the attorney- general of the federation is empowered to take-over any

criminal case at any stage, whether during investigation or during trial, adding that “and that is exactly what has happened.”

Daily Times recalls that the solicitor general had on behalf of the federal government had on Friday, taken over the case of prosecuting Sen. Goje (APC-Gombe Central) over alleged N25 billion fraud committed while serving as Gombe state governor between 2003-2011.

However, until Thursday last week, Sen. Goje was a contender for the post of Senate President, but dramatically announced his withdrawal from the race after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

He subsequently, endorsed his opponent, Sen. Ahmad Lawan (APC-Yobe), who has been endorsed by the Presidency and the APC national leadership for the exalted position.

For almost eight years, the EFCC had been prosecuting the former governor until June 7 and the case which was before Justice Babatunde Quadiri of the Federal High Court II, Jos, had even gone to the Court of Appeal, Jos, in respect of the last two- count charge out of 21 -count charge filed against him by EFCC. The appellate court is yet to fix a date for the hearing of the appeal. In a queer twist, when the case came up for an emergency hearing before Justice Quadiri, the EFCC counsel, Wahab Shittu, informed the court that the agency was withdrawing from the case and handing it over to the office of the attorney-general for continuation.

He further told the court that the new counsel from the attorney general of the federation office, Pius Asika was in court to continue with the trial.

Short News Plateau spends N90m to reduce HIV spread - PLACA boss Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The Plateau state Aids Control Agency (PLACA), says the state has recorded fewer persons living with the HIV virus, attributing the success recorded in combating the spread of the disease to Governor Simon Lalong, who provided N90 million to the agency in 2015 to fight the menace.

Executive Director of the agency, Sunday Markus, said in an interview with Daily Times in Jos at the weekend, that the 7.7 per cent ratio of persons living with HIV in 2010 has reduced to 1.6 per cent in 2019.

“The HIV rate in Plateau has reduced from 7.7 per cent in 2010 to 5.9 per cent in 2015 and in 2019 we now have a record reduction rate of 1.6 per cent.

“Our success story is as a result of Gov. Lalong’s effort by providing funds to the agency when he took over office in 2015. The N90 million funds he provided enabled us to complete our counterpart funds of the HIV phase two of the World Bank project. The funds were used to test people and place them on treatment if they test positive to the virus.

“This shows we are making progress, but we need not to celebrate yet because the tendency of rebounding is still possible if we don’t sustain the campaign,” the PLACA boss said.

Ebonyi resident electoral commissioner in alleged N300m bribery scandal It’s a lie, says REC

Charles Onyekwere, Abakaliki The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Cosstituency in Ebonyi state, Comrade Chinedu Ogah has alleged that the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Godswill Obioma collected N300 million as bribe to reduce the votes scored by his party in the presidential and National Assembly elections.

Briefing newsmen in Abakaliki, Comrade Ogah also noted that even though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared that Buhari won in Ikwo Local Government Area, about 15, 000 votes were removed and the result falsified by the resident electoral commissioner in connivance with the Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) in the state.

Ogah, who alleged that he also lost about 21, 000 votes because of the result falsification, disclosed that the Special Presidential Investigative Panel (SPIP) has arrested the resident electoral commissioner over the bribery allegation.

According to him, INEC reduced the votes scored by President Muhammadu Buhari in

Ikwo council area from over 30, 000 votes, about 21, 000 votes, declaring that he has credible evidence of the financial inducement and the other electoral fraud committed by the resident electoral commissioner and other officials of the electoral commission in the state.

Ogah said: “The collation of results was supposed to be done at the polling units to the ward, local government and to the federal constituency office in Onueke, but such a thing was not done. The votes of President Buhari were reduced and falsified. The Ebonyi state REC, Prof. Godswill Obioma collected about N330 million.

“Another INEC officer was given a bribe of $300, 000 by a PDP candidate in the state.

What we are asking the resident electoral commissioner is that if he claims that he is innocent of this allegation, why should they now fill form ECG 40 G on April 4 claiming that up to 31, 000 votes were cancelled in Ikwo, but he used less that 7 ,000 voles to declare someone winner? If such a thing happened, is it not inconclusive?

“But, such a thing did not happen because you want to make sure that you deliver on the money you have collected. There was no violence in Ikwo and none of the presiding

officers filled a form indicating that they cancelled the election. We have written to the INEC chairman; we have written to the President and we have written to the resident electoral commissioner.”

However, in a swift reaction, the Ebonyi state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof.

Godswill Obioma described the allegations as false and unfortunate, noting that he was only invited by the presidential panel on allegations that PDP connived with INEC to reduce and falsify the votes of President Buhari and some other APC candidates by the tribunal.

Prof. Obioma stated that at no time was he invited by any panel over alleged financial fraud, but that the petitioner alleged that some of his staff the commission allegedly collected money for the purposes falsifying election results.

He confirmed writing a statement when he honoured the invitation of the presidential investigative panel, adding that in the event that the election tribunal nullifies the result of the election for Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Constituency and declared the APC candidate, Comrade Ogah as winner, the electoral commission would abide by the ruling.

To compliment the federal government agenda of youth employment, the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has concluded arrangements to train 1, 100 unemployed youth in various skills acquisition and self- reliance programmes in Kebbi state.

This was disclosed by the NDE state Coordinator, Muhammad Altine Zogirma in Birnin Kebbi. He said the first batch of 550 beneficiaries will receive training in technical skills under the basic national open apprenticeship scheme.

He added that another 550 will be trained in specialized trades under the advance national open apprenticeship scheme while another 400 women will get training on cosmetology.

Zogirma said a new training skills centre has been established in Argungu. He further stated that the directorate has injected N13 million into Kebbi state’s economy between 2018 to 2019 by granting loans to small and medium scale enterprise as well as distributing starter packs to women who graduated from the cosmetology training.

The state coordinator pointed out that the achievements he listed above wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance of the Director General of the NDE, Nasir Mohammed Ladan and urged the beneficiaries to use what they have acquired to help themselves and the society.

Bauchi N/Assembly candidates demand certificates of return from INEC Samuel Luka, Bauchi

Candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) for the Bauchi South Senatorial District, Garba Dahiru and four others have appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) to issue them with their certificates of return in line with the court verdict which voided votes scored by some APC candidates in the last general election.

The candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) for the National Assembly seats made the appeal at a joint press conference on Saturday at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretariat in Bauchi.

Garba Dahiru was accompanied by Auwal Jatau, Zaki Federal Constituency (PDP), Alhaji Abdulkadir Ibrahim, Alkaleri Federal Constituency (PDP), Dayyabu Chiroma, Darazo /Gannjuwa Federal Constituency (PRP) and Isa Mohammed Wabu of the NNPP, Gamawa Federal Constituency.

Garba said that “sequel to the FCT High Court judgement delivered

by Justice Bello Kawu on May 16, 2019 and the consequent court order which nullified votes scored by APC candidates and ordered the second defendant INEC to issue certificates of return to the candidates that came second in the affected constituencies. ”For over two weeks since INEC was served with the court judgement, it is yet to comply despite the fact that it is the only subsisting court order.”

Senate Presidency: Ndume unfolds 9 -point Short News Why I won’t step down for agenda, seeks legislative independence Speakership: Gbajabiamila – APC lawmaker Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Senator Mohammed Ali-Ndume one of the top contenders for the position of President of the Senate in tomorrow’s election of the 9th National Assembly has unfolded nine - point agenda.

He said that if elected President of the Senate his tenure will be anchored on legislative independence.

Senator Ndume, who restated his position just as Senators elect goes into a secret balloting tomorrow, emphasized that he will “redefine and restructure the office of the President of the Senate and streamline its activities to reflect members’ priorities.”

Other agenda, he said are “to work harmoniously and inter -dependently with the executive without undermining the principle of separation of powers as well as create formidable platform for effective constitutional oversight functions.

Ndume also said he will establish the framework for meaningful legislative interventions for the implementation of the APC’s Next Level agenda, specifically in the areas of security and promote legislations that would enhance job creation and growth, economic and infrastructure development, fight corruption and promote business and entrepreneurship development.

The agenda also includes the enhancement of healthcare services,

political inclusion and enhancing the substantiality of funding architecture by mobilising, through the legislative process, robust strategies in boosting revenue generation.

Sen. Ndume is insisting that the legislature should be allowed to freely choose leaders who enjoy the confidence of their colleagues.

He stressed that a process where members of the National Assembly are allowed to freely elect their leaders will guarantee the independence of the legislature and ensures its stability.

According to him, the Senate President should not owe his allegiance to any individual or group of people, but to the Senate and the country.

John Dyegh, a member of the House of Representatives contesting for the office of Speaker of the 9th Assembly, says he is still in the race.

Dyegh representing Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency of Benue, while briefing journalists in Abuja, said he had no reason to step down for anyone.

“I am still strongly in the race; I do not have any reason to step down for anybody and by the grace of God, I am taking it to the end.

“I am not making a show of it; it is not about parading numbers.

“For me, it is like evangelism, one-on-one engagement with colleagues and what members decide at the end of the day on the floor is what will be.’’ the APC lawmaker said.

Mr Dyegh said paramount in his agenda, if elected as speaker, was making the financing and expenditure of the House public.

Akpabio justifies defection to APC, fetes constituents Isaac Job, Uyo A former senator representing Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District , Senator Godswill Akpabio said on weekend that he has been vindicated by his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his senate minority position as the people are no longer in the fringes of politics in Nigeria, but adequately represented.

Akpabio, who disclosed this at the end of tenure and disbursement of cash grants, scholarship awards, distribution of educational materials and empowerment for the district held at Ikot-Ekpene Township Stadium, maintained that the voices of the people from his constituency have been heard across the nation in the last four years.

“My fellow good people of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, four years ago you sent me to the hallowed chambers of the 8th Senate of to be your mouth, eyes and ears.

“As we held the final plenary on June 6, I believe we can all look back with pride that indeed in the last four years your voices have been heard loudly across Nigeria and beyond. You did not just make up the numbers in the Senate. You have been a force to reckon with,’’ he said.

CAN kicks over Muslim, Muslim ticket in N/Assembly Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has frowned at the ongoing lobbying of Reps. Femi Gbajabiamila and Wase ticket as speaker and deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, saying that a Muslim -Muslim ticket is not in the best interest of the country.

CAN in a press statement signed and issued to journalists in Jos by the National Director, Legal and Public Affairs of CAN, Evang. Kwamkur Samuel said for fairness, equity and justice the 9th House of Reps should have a Muslim/Christian balance in leadership as already being envisaged in the Senate “As a multi-ethnic and multireligious nation, there is today an urgent need for deliberate balancing in the nation’s governance to ensure fairness and equity in religious and

geographical spread in the selection of the country’s leaders, in view of the current fragile state of intergroup relations in Nigeria and the need to arrest the current drift in the direction of mutual suspicion,” CAN said.

The statement said in view of the unfolding lobby for a single religion to take over as speaker and deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, “we wish to state that if this is allowed to go unchecked, a bad and dangerous precedence will be set which will further widen the religious fault lines of our country.

“We believe that it is fair, equitable and just for the House of Representatives in the 9th Assembly to have a Muslim/Christian balance in leadership as already being envisaged in the Senate. We equally appeal to those who may want to dismiss this patriotic call to be

circumspect in their responses and allow their inner patriotic sentiments to guide their actions.

“We must take deliberate steps to allay the fears of religious domination and marginalization in government business in this country.

“A situation where the country’s leadership structure does not reflect her diversity with control of the three arms of government in the hands of one religious group to the exclusion of others will only, but heighten suspicion and give credence to the growing allegations of a grand Islamization plot by sections of the country.”

CAN however, called on the nation’s political leaders, especially those in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to act with caution and sensitivity by respecting the cherished traditions of leadership balance as has been the practice over the years.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Sonny Echono, says every qualified and licensed teacher would be employed as part of efforts to rid the system of unqualified teachers.

Echono said this while monitoring the May Diet of the Teachers Professional Qualifying Examination organized by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) in Abuja on Saturday.

“We are dead serious about implementing the policy and we are also working very hard to ensure that we also are ready.

“The first thing that is going to happen is that TRCN and NTI are compiling a database of qualified teachers, those that have been certified, those who have taken this examination who are unemployed.

“And we are going to do it and even segregate them state by state and make them available to each state.

“That is going to be the starting point, that anybody who has been certified as a teacher should be employed because we have no excuse for that.

JAMB, stakeholders to fix cut-off mark for 2019/2020 admission Tuesday Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board will meet with stakeholders on Tuesday to decide the cutoff mark for the 2019/2020 admission.

The 2019 Policy Meeting with stakeholder will hold on Tuesday, June 11 at Gbongan, Osun State.

JAMB’s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Benjamin said the official cut-off marks for the 2019/2020 admission would be made public at the end of the policy meeting.

He advised candidates to disregard any cut-off mark being peddled by fraudsters, describing it as “fake.”

He said: “The clarification became necessary following speculations that the board had fixed the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) cut-off marks.

The board added that candidates should not also believe some rumour that a candidate could have two different results released by the server.

Demolition looms as FCDA sets to remove houses on waterways

Short News

Following a recent flooding, which claimed the life of a 17-year old boy at the Lokogoma District of Abuja last week, the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) has announced its plans to demolish structures built on waterways.

Addressing a press conference during the weekend after a tour of the affected area by a team of relevant departments of the FCDA, the Director, Department of Engineering Services, Engr. Ahmed Hadi, said that the FCDA is determined to resolve the unfortunate incident in Lokogoma.

While expressing sincere sympathy of the FCT Administration to the family who lost the 17-year old boy to the flood, the Director of Engineering however, said the incident was caused by illegal structures erected along waterways which obstructed the free flow of water from the two major rivers of Wamba and Kabusa.

“The crisis at Lokogoma is a recurring issue.

It’s an issue that occurred in the later part of 2017, but from the period we had the flooding,

Heavy rainfall which resulted in devastating flood in Asaba, Delta state has destroyed 16 vehicles and sacked residents Places worse hit by the rainfall which occurred on Saturday evening, include Okwe, Oduke, Osadenis, Umuagu and Abraka community and parts of Anwai Road in Asaba where the flood wreaked destruction and sacked residents.

Some of the affected victims, who spoke with journalists, said that the rain, which has destroyed all their properties, has rendered them homeless.

A victim, Josiah Ndubuisi said that “we have no home again; the rainfall which resulted in heavy flood destroyed over 16 vehicles parked outside in Okwe and Oduke Quarters, our properties were swept into the flood.

“We are appealing to the state government and public spirited bodies to come to our aid and provide us temporary houses for us to be living before we can get back ourselves.”

Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja

the permanent secretary led a team, including the Executive Secretary, FCDA, Umar Gambo Jibrin to the spots and what we noticed on ground majorly was that properties were being developed on waterways, which has constricted two major rivers of Wamba and Kabusa, which the residents’ association has been taking up on these issues. The FCTA is determined on resolving these issues,” he said.

Hadi noted that the two major challenges confronting the FCTA on Lokogoma include issues of flooding and lack of major access into entire mass housing estates which was cut off from ring Road II. Speaking further, he disclosed that the FCT administration had mobilized one of its major contractors to go and carry out emergency work to restore the major access into Lokogoma.

“We have to take a decision. Water must have its course -it is a wise saying and it is also an engineering position. And if there are developments constricting waterways, it is only a matter of time; it will definitely find its way and that is even worsened by the position of the two major rivers, converging at a confluence point, turning into one waterway, which also affected a

second location.

“What we saw on sites are buildings clearly submerging along the water courses. We got Development Control Department to mark out these illegal structures and to engage the residents to accept whether we have to allow these properties for which the authorities have an obligation to see to the protection of the FCT residents and for this, we have to remove these properties.

“At least, above any personal interest, so that the larger neighbourhood in Lokogoma Estate can remain safer and that is what we are trying to do,” he added.

On his part, Chairman, Lokogoma Residents Association, Dr. Joseph Nnorom, pointed out that the issue of compensation should be considered.

He appealed to government to save the residents from the situation the estate developers has put them into, even as he wondered where the enforcement authorities were when the buildings were been put up.

Recall, that apart from the 17 years old boy who was killed by the flood, no fewer than three persons -a father, son and daughter were also lost to the flood in 2017.

Lagos taskforce to prosecute 10 traffic offenders Chioma Joseph, Lagos The operatives of the Lagos state Task Force has concluded arrangement to prosecute 10 arrested vehicles owners and drivers for driving against traffic over the weekend.

The taskforce Chairman, Olayinka Egbeyemi, a chief superintendent of police, who led the enforcement exercise disclosed that the 10 offenders were apprehended around Dopemu, Iyana-Ipaja, Agege and Mile 2.

He said driving against on-coming vehicles contravenes Schedule (1) item 27 of the Lagos state Road Traffic Law of 2012. “it is disheartening to see both commercial bus drivers and educated private car owners driving against traffic across the state.

“Even with the high level of enlightenment campaigns by the government, motorists can still be driving against traffic without fear of crushing an innocent passersby or imminent

collusion with other on-coming vehicles.

Meanwhile, Lagos Ssate Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu has directed that the enforcement operations on motorists driving against traffic by the agency be extended to every parts of the state” Egbeyemi therefore, urged motorists, particularly commercial bus drivers to desist from driving against traffic and obey different traffic signs conspicuously displayed by traffic officers in all parts of the State.

In a related development, the Lagos State Government has issued a notice of removal order to all owners and occupiers of illegal shanties, kiosks and containerized shops along Okokomaiko, Iba-LASU Road to Badagry.

Egbeyemi said the removal notice became necessary in preparation for the commencement of rehabilitation works by the state government along the corridor.

He further commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for declaring zero

tolerance on all roads potholes stating that this will considerably help in enhancing the free flow of traffic across the state after the rehabilitation exercise.

According to the chairman “The governor was touched by the discomfort being experienced on daily basis as a result of these bad roads and has vowed to ameliorate the sufferings of residents and commuters, especially those plying the Okokomaiko to Badagry express-way by rehabilitating the road.”

Egbeyemi confirmed that a general clean up exercise of all these illegal shanties, kiosks and containerised shops would commence soon.

He however, warned residents and illegal traders to stop the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on railway tracks, road-setbacks, median and walk-ways around Okokomaiko to Badagry as anyone caught in this act would be seriously dealt with in accordance with the Lagos state Environmental Sanitation Laws.

No fewer than 14.2 million Nigerians consumed illicit drugs in 2018, the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has disclosed.

Represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Oloruntoba, Abdallah said “everybody is alarmed at the with which abuse drugs these days.”

Making reference to the United Nations statistics, the NDLEA boss said that “the recent United Nations drugs survey puts it that 14.2 million Nigerians consumed illicit drugs in 2018.

“This is higher than the global statistics. Globally, it is estimated that only five million people took drugs last year. Ironically and frighteningly, it means 14.2 per cent of Nigerians took drugs last year.”

He urged government to provide the equipment, fund and personnel for the war against drug abuse to be successful in Nigeria.

Nigeria lacks maturity for state police -Tsav

Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, a retired commissioner of police on Sunday said that Nigeria was not yet civilised and mature for states to operate their own police.

Tsav, who stated this in a statement he personally signed, said that he was not against establishment of state police in the future, but said that currently, activities of some politicians, including governors, suggested that the country was not mature enough for such arrangement.

“The establishment of state and local government police now, which requires amendment of the constitution, is inviting anarchy. We are not yet ready for such arrangement.

“As I always say, state and local government police is desirable in Nigeria, to bring policing to the people at the grassroots, but we are not politically mature enough to have such arrangement in Nigeria,” he declared.

Tsav, a former federal commissioner, Public Complainants Commission said that state police might be misused in the same manner some governors were currently misapplying security votes.

Obiano inaugurates panel on building collapse Stories by John Ndu, Awka The Anambra State Government has inaugurated a 10-man panel of inquiry to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collapse of a three storey building under construction at Ogalaonye Street in Onitsha.

The incident which occurred on the 17th of last month left five persons dead and several others injured.

The panel which is headed by the traditional ruler of Uke in Idemili

South Local Government Area, Igwe Charles Agballa, has one month to submit its report in the interim.

Others are Hon. Nwabufo Nwankwo, Secretary; ACP John Obuagbaka, representative of the Commissioner of Police in the state; Engr. Emeka Ezenwunne; SP Chinedu Anigbaoso (CSO to the Governor); Chief CY Agupugo (Chairman, SEMA); Engr. Alexander Chukwunwike (Rep. NSE); Engr. Afam Afugbuom (Rep. Nigeria Institute of Builders); Mr. Alloy Uzor (Rep Nigeria Institute of Town Planners); and Mr. Ebosie Ezeoke

(Rep. Material Testing Laboratory).

Inaugurating the committee during a meeting of the State Executive Council at Government House, Awka, Governor Obiano urged the members to criticality examine issues resulting in the collapse of buildings in the area.

Gov. Obiano also urged the panel to come up with ideas on professional practices to be adopted in curbing the menace.

The Governor further tasked the committee to look at cases of structures constructed on drainages and those without approvals in the course of its

work.

He described the assignment of the panel as important, considering the number of deaths recorded in the incident.

The Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, said the panel was made up of experts to help in ending incessant building collapse in the state.

The Chairman of the panel, Igwe Charles Agballa, said he was optimistic that the findings of the panel would help in addressing the problem of building collapse in the area.

Orumba-North experienced 8 years of setback at Anambra assembly - Aforka Ahead of the inauguration of the 7th Anambra State House of Assembly, the legislator-elect for Orumba-North state constituency Chief Emeka Aforka, has said that Orumba-North suffered eight years of poor and ineffective representation at the state assembly.

Aforka explained that the people of Orumba-North were not involved in the said representation at the legislature which he said resulted in the execution of constituency projects that were completely not in consonance with the needs of the communities by the outgoing representative.

The former Orumba-North council chairman, who spoke with our correspondent in an exclusive interview at the country home of the national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Amawbia, Awka-South local government area, at the weekend, explained further that he was going to the legislature to bestow Orumba-North the type of political representation it required at the state assembly.

He said: “We are poorly represented in Orumba-North. Somebody will wake up from sleep to site poorly constructed

culverts in one or two places and you tell me that you are doing something in the communities. You don’t decide what you will give to the communities. Let the communities decide what they need.”

Aforka therefore noted that effective representation was when the people were carried along in the scheme of things and not the contrary. He, however, pointed out that political representation was a social contract between the representative and those being represented at whatever level of governance.

According to him, there were people who went to the state assembly to represent Orumba-North and such persons attracted roads as well as other social amenities to the area due to their relationship with the executive arm of government but expressed worry also that some people only went to the legislature to foment troubles and to warm the seats at the legislative chambers to the detriment of their constituents.

He alleged that most of the culverts constructed by the outgoing representative as constituency projects had collapsed, stressing that such was not the type of representation the people of Orumba-

North envisaged.

The legislator-elect therefore noted that he had collated and compiled the needs of his constituents, realising that the needs vary from one community to the other. He said while some communities clamoured for well-equipped primary healthcare centres, others requested borehole water facilities, good drainage systems and a host of other community-driven projects.

Aforka also mentioned that some communities requested the renovation of primary school buildings; while some others made case for the construction of roads in their domains as well as institution of skill acquisition centres, noting that the needs were peculiar to each of the communities in Orumba-North council area.

The House of Assembly memberelect however assured his constituents that the needs would form his template of representation at the state assembly just as he said that he would lobby as well as romance the executive arm of government to ensure that the needs of his constituents were met to improve their living conditions and for the betterment of the entire state.

Igbo Spiritual leader and member APGA Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka (Ogilisi Igbo), has told members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East geopolitical zone to make good governance their priority in the South East states under her control rather than making efforts to reclaim Anambra State.

According to the BoT member, it is not possible for the PDP to return in Anambra State, not even at this time when the APGA Government in the state led by the working Governor is recording an excellent level of performance.

Recall that Chief Austin Umahi, the National Vice Chairman of PDP for the South East geo-political zone, had at a reception organised for Southeast zonal organ of the PDP by Dr Obiora Okonkwo at Ogidi in Anambra State declared that his party will reclaim Anambra governorship seat in 2021.

Chief Umahi said the party will ensure that it takes control of the five SouthEast states come 2021, through all legal means possible, insisting that winning Anambra in 2021 will complete the circle for PDP in Southeast.

Reacting to Umahi’s declaration, Ogilisi Igbo told the PDP protagonists to emulate Governor Willie Obiano and the APGA-led Government in Anambra State by making ingredients of good governance its priority in the States under the party.

Ogilisi Igbo stated that APGA prides in fixing roads, making adequate security measures, improving on agriculture, upgrading the standard of education and the health sectors, prompt payment of workers and pensioners and upgrading Sports sector and most importantly, flushing out godfathers in politics of the State.

He said: “If you want to reclaim Anambra, fine, it is the constitutional right of the PDP to target a state, but it is not possible for the candidate of PDP to win election when the ruling party is on ground delivering good governance.

“APGA has grown to become a tradition here and will continue to wax stronger. Which of the States under the control of the PDP can boast about sustainable developments in Agriculture and all other sectors?

Which of the PDP States can guarantee prompt payment of workers and pensioners?

“It is no longer news that many PDP States are owing a backlog of arrears of salary and pension and members of the party want to reclaim Anambra where workers and pensioners earn their pay promptly, how possible would it be?”

S/West Security Summit: Aare Gani Adams commends governors of region The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has commended governors of the South West for organising security summit in the region.

Adams, in a statement, yesterday, said the summit was long overdue, saying the move will forestall further attacks on the region and bring back the lost glory of the South West.

Five governors, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola (Osun), Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Mr. Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Dr. Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), had last week held a meeting on the rising spate of insecurity in the South West.

Adams, who had on two occasions, written letters to all the South West governors on the need to organise the summit, expressed optimism at the move, pointing out that there is need to fast-track the process leading to the summit.

“I must commend the efforts of the governors, it came at a time when the South West had been gripped by the activities of the herdsmen, and other social vices.

“The South West had almost lost its peace and credibility over the consistent attacks by the killer herdsmen ravaging the region.

“As far as I am concerned, I believe the move will translate to further progress, because it will further create an enabling

environment for foreign investors that are interested in doing business in the region.”

Adams, argued further that the move will further strengthen the unity of the region, adding that by the time the summit begins, it will enhance effective synergy between the governors and as the chief security officer of their respective states, they are in the best position to coordinate all the security affairs of their respective states.

The Aare Onakakanfo, however, decried the spate of insecurity in the country, blaming the incident on weak institution and leadership failure.

He explained further that as the generalisimo of the Yoruba race, the security situation in the country has placed a huge pressure on him, particularly, from Nigerians in the Diaspora, stressing that he had met with notable groups, both within and outside the shores of Nigeria, as part of efforts made to curtail the unfortunate incident that has taken the region backward.

“The spate of insecurity in the country has affected the image of Nigeria in the world, I was out of the country for 18 days and came back to Nigeria just a few days ago, but the reports reaching me from home were pathetic.

“The herdsmen had taken over all the entire South West, killing innocent people at will. But now that the South West had risen to the occasion by organising the summit, I think it is a new dawn

for us in the South West. It is a new dawn, because the move will definitely bring about a new development across the region.”

Adams, however, urged all the socio- cultural groups in the region to team- up to find lasting solution to the menace occasioned by the unlawful activities of cultists, kidnappers, bandits and the rampaging herdsmen that found their ways to the South West through Kogi, and Akoko land in Ondo and its environs.

“During my visit to Europe, I had meeting with various concerned groups, and we had robust discussions on the way out of these security problems plaguing Nigeria.

“Last Friday, I also had a very important meeting with the Agbekoyas and the Egbe Isokan Omo Oduduwa. The meeting that lasted for hours, was based on the present security situation in the country, and I told them that there is need for us to work together as a formidable group and form a better strategy to curb the activities of the herdsmen in the South West.

“For instance, the Yoruba Summit, an emerging group comprising all socio-cultural groups in the South West Is ready to participate in whatever measures that are needed to prevent crises in the South West.

“Therefore, we need to also work with the governors and work out a better and lasting solution,” he said.

June 12: History will be kind to Buhari – Group A pro democracy group, Coalition for Good Governance and Justice (CFGGAJ) has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for declaring June 12 as Democracy Day, even as it said history will be kind to him for the act.

The group however called on the President to go a step further by making sure the portrait of the winner of the election, Chief M.K.O Abiola is placed side by side that of former Heads of State.

According to a statement by CFGGAJ convener, Emmanuel Umohinyang, President Buhari deserves commendation for shoving aside the prejudices against June 12 election, and the late Abiola by giving recognition to the historic election.

This, he observed was commendable as Former Presidents looked the other way, pretending that June 12 never happened.

Umohinyang said this was a clear testimony that Buhari was a true statesman and firm believer in fairness, justice and equity.

The statement reads “June 12 has become a watershed in the annals of our national history.

“One cannot but recall with nostalgia “Hope 93”, the campaign slogan of M.K.O Abiola of the SDP. “That was the freest election our country, Nigeria has ever had, but that election was annulled by the gap – toothed man from Minna.

“The election was a sad reminder; it was better imagined than seen.

“Today, when you look at the clips of that era, you can’t but weep for the heroes and heroines, both living and dead who sacrificed their all for the actualisation of June 12.

“We cannot but pay tribute to the legendary Gani Fawehinmi, Pro. Wole Soyinka, Senator Bola Tinubu, Chima Ubani, Dr. Beko Ramsome Kuti, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Mr. Yinka Odunmakin, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and others.

“They all were willing to sacrifice their lives for the actualisation of that mandate, some; we lost in the struggle, while some are still alive.

“It is an irony that when Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, former President Olusegun Obasanjo

did not feel he owed an obligation to Nigerians by acknowledging the efforts of the Late M.K.O Abiola.

“Ironically, many years after, President Buhari shoved aside those antidemocratic forces who did not want the mention of M.K.O Abiola’s name in Nigeria’s history and went ahead to correct the wrong of the past.

“Not only by recognising and conferring on Abiola the highest honour in the land, given only to Presidents and past presidents, he equally jettisoned the infamous May 29 and proceeded to acknowledge June 12 as democracy day.

“We commend the President for doing what is needful, for assuaging pains of millions of Nigerians, across the country who freely gave their mandate to M.K.O Abiola on June 12, 1993 and the late politician’s immediate family.

“However, we want the President to go a step further by ensuring we have the photograph of MKO Abiola placed alongside that of past Presidents and the benefits of past Presidents paid to the family of M.K.O Abiola”

8th NASS’s performance exceeded previous assemblies – Okei-Odumakin Stories Patrick Okohue The Centre for Change Initiative, a civil society organisation, on Sunday, commended the performance of the outgoing 8th National Assembly, saying it exceeded the performances of the previous National Assembly sessions.

The president of the organisation, Dr. Joe OkeiOdumakin, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos while assessing the performance of

the 8th Assembly.

NAN reports that the Assembly, which was inaugurated on June 9, 2015 adjourned its legislative activities indefinitely last Thursday after four years.

The life of the 8th senate stood officially dissolved on the midnight of June 8 to pave way for the inauguration of the 9th Assembly on June 11.

Okei-Odumakin said that the 8th assembly had done averagely well in the last four years.

“Judging by the number of bills, interventions and civic engagements the 8th National

Assembly can be adjudged as having done averagely well.

“It can be said to have exceeded the previous sessions of the NASS. “That, nonetheless, does not mean that the assembly did not live, without some of its own shortcomings, “she said.

Okei-Odumakin urged the incoming assembly to consolidate on the achievements of the 8th assembly. ”The 8th NASS should engage in legislative actions that will impact positively on the lives of our people, ” she said.

NAEC ex-DG, Osaisai joins Bayelsa governorship race Former Director-General, Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC), Dr. Franklin Osaisai, on Sunday, formally declared his interest in contesting the Nov. 16 Governorship poll in Bayelsa State.

Osaisai, a Nuclear Scientist, made the declaration during a church service at St John’s Anglican Church in his community, Koluama, a coastline community in Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa.

Speaking during the service entitled: `Solemn Declaration of Interest’ Osaisai, said that he had resolved to return to the roots of his humble beginning in Church.

He recalled that it was the grace of God that took him from a Chorister at the St. John’s Anglican Church to the pinnacle of his career.

“God took me from the church to become the pioneer

Chief Executive of the Atomic Energy Commission. I have returned to him,’’ he said.

Osaisai said his aspiration to govern Bayelsa was borne out of passion for service to the people, especially with the winding down of the Gov. Seriake Dickson-led administration.

“I aspire to lead the people of Bayelsa to consolidate on the achievements of Dickson, I do this knowing that leadership and power only come from God. “I am a firm believer and beneficiary of God’s grace.

That is the reason I have chosen to declare my intention from where I had my humble beginning.

“I hope to be fair to all parts of Bayelsa, I will mobilise the people for development and progress in my position as the leader,’’ he said.

In his speech, Dr Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, Bishop of Niger Delta

West Diocese said God alone could institute governments and ordain leaders, saying that: “those who aspire to lead must have the right motives’’.

According to him, it is instructive that Osaisai did not forget his humble beginning because such a trait has become rare among the elite.

“If a man will remember and recognise his humble background and chose to take this first step in this rural remote setting, it is an indication that he will re-enact the success he made out of his career.

“While it is good to aspire for leadership, it is the motive behind the aspiration that counts before God,’’ he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that clergymen, traditional rulers from Koluama, opinion leaders, community members and Osaisai’s associates graced the occasion.

Oando Saga: SEC explains actions, says aimed at protecting public investments Temitope Adebayo The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sunday said that Oando Plc was given sufficient opportunity of being heard before they were penalised. However, explained that the action was in the interest of the public.

The commission in Lagos said that there were various opportunities by the company to defend themselves during the investigation by SEC and during the forensic audit.

According to the regulator, the attention of the SEC has been drawn to various reports questioning the regulatory authority of the SEC, and insinuating lack of due process in the investigations of Oando Plc. “To put the records straight, the SEC hereby states as follows: Fair hearing is a paramount and fundamental principle, which the Commission as a law abiding agency adheres to in all its investigative processes.

“In the course of the investigations, communications e.g. letters and phone calls were exchanged and meetings held between the Commission and Oando Plc, requesting for its comments and explanations on issues relating to the investigations. The findings of the Commission was communicated to the Group Chief Executive Officer of Oando Plc by letter dated July 10, 2017.

The Commission, however, emphasized that it abided by the fundamental principle of a fair hearing in the entire phases of the investigation.

“The Commission subsequently engaged Deloitte & Touche to conduct a Forensic Audit of the activities of Oando Plc. “In the course of conducting the audit, Deloitte & Touche held regular sessions with members of the Board and senior management of Oando Plc, and afforded them the opportunity to provide explanations on issues relating to the investigation.

“The Commission confirms that Oando Plc was given sufficient opportunity of being heard and accorded several opportunities to rebut the issues revealed by the investigation.”

The SEC explained that the responses given by Oando Plc were however considered unsatisfactory; prompting, the decision by the Commission to penalize the company and some of the individuals related to it for violations of securities laws.

The statement further added: “The actions of the Commission was properly effected pursuant to the provisions of the Investments & Securities Act (ISA) 2007 and the SEC Rules and Regulations made pursuant to the ISA 2007.

“These facts have been properly articulated in the court process filed at the Federal High Court by the Commission in response to the suit instituted by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Group Chief Executive officer of Oando Plc. “As the Apex Regulator of the Nigerian capital market, the Commission has a mandate to protect investors.”

“The Commission’s recent action on Oando Plc aligns with the above cardinal mandate, as the directive for the removal of persons from the board of Oando Plc and the appointment of an interim management team to temporarily steer the affairs of the company is to protect investors and preserve stakeholder value”, SEC stated.

External reserves hit $45.12bn amid steady Forex injection Represents highest figure in 9months Gains over $2bn in 5 months Motolani Oseni Despite the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervention in the foreign exchange market, the external reserves is currently standing at a hit nine months high of $45.12billion, checks by The Daily Times revealed.

What this development meant is that the foreign exchange buffer has increased by $2 billion in the first five months this year to close at $45.12 billion, as of 31st May 2019.

It is also, worthy of note that the $45.12 billion external reserves figure by the CBN is the highest this year. The apex bank had attributed to increasing in external reserves to hike in global oil prices, inflow from foreign countries most especially China, among others.

According to Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), oil price between January and May has increased by 23per cent or $12.02 to $64.15 from $52.14 it opened this year.

The OPEC 14 basket price revealed that oil price reached a peak of $74.04 on April 24, 2019.

Monthly breakdown revealed that February reported dwindling external reserves while March reported one of the highest gains in foreign exchange buffer of the CBN. As the external reserve closed January at $43.17billion after gaining $98.5 million, it dropped by $873.34 million in February to $42.3 billion.

However, in March, the external reserves significantly increased by $2.1 billion from $42.32 billion to $44.43 billion.

But the significant increase was not sustained in April as the external reserves moved from $44.61 billion to $44.79 billion but moved inched up by $330.5 million to close at $45.12 billion in May. A member of the CBN Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said foreign inflow to the nation’s economy remains impressive showing strong confidence in the economy.

“Though this global macroeconomic condition poses a challenge for monetary policy in Nigeria, the prospect for higher and stable international crude oil prices, as well as, positive fundamentals attractive to foreign inflows provides a reasonable buffer,” he maintained.

The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele had said the introduction of the Investors

& Exporters (I & E FX) window, along with improvement in domestic production of goods, helped shore up the country’s external reserves.

He said, “Transactions have reached over $48billion since the inception of the window and our foreign exchange reserves have risen to $45billion in April 2019 from $23billion in October 2016.

“Nigeria’s current stock of foreign reserves is now able to finance over nine months of the current import commitments. “With improved availability of foreign exchange, the exchange rate at the I&E FX window has remained stable over the past 24 months at an average of N360/$, and the parallel market exchange rate has appreciated from N525/$ in February 2017 to N360/US$ today.”

PMS importation increases as NNPC reports N174.62bn sales in March Micheal Ajayi The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in its monthly report said the importation of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) has increased and that it recorded N174.62 billion sale of white petroleum products in March.

The NNPC latest data showed that the country’s PMS importation through the Direct Sale of crude oil and Direct Purchase of petroleum products, (DSDP) scheme increased by 534 million litres between January 2018 and January 2019.

It added that a total supply and distribution of 1.36 billion litres of Petroleum products were made by NNPC Subsidiary, the Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC) in March, compared with 1.33 billion litres in February.

A further breakdown indicated that the March volume comprised 1.29 billion litres of petrol, 0.023 billion litres of Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), and 0.047 billion litres for the diesel component.

“Total sale of white products distributed for the period March 2018 to March 2019,

stood at 21.99 billion litres, with petrol accounting for 20.63 billion litres or 93.8 per cent,’’ it added The report further noted that 6.4 billion litres of special products were sold during the period under review.

On pipelines vandalism, the report revealed that in March, 111 pipeline points were vandalised, indicating a 19 per cent drop from the 137 points recorded in February 2019.

“Ibadan –Ilorin and Benin –Ore axis accounted for 46 per cent of total pulverised points, while breaks in other locations made up the balance,’’ it said.

Shell upgrades gas distribution by 150% in Nigeria Micheal Ajayi

L-R: Adesulu Morakinyo, Technical Project Manager; with Dr. Godwin Efobi, Head, Medical, Hygeia HMO; Oluchi Odimuko, Executive Secretary, Manufacturing Association of Nigeria (MAN); and Jean Robert Thouanel, Head, Technical; Promasidor Nigeria Limited; during Promasidor Risk and Safety Day held at the company’s premises in Lagos...recently.

Analysts expect further increase in inflation in May Motolani Oseni As the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) sets to release report on Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May, a group of analysts at Financial Derivates Company Limited (FDC) and FSDH Research have predicted further, increase in inflation rate for last month.

The groups believed this was because of raining season and security challenges in food producing states in the Northern part of the country.

However, the NBS in its previous report on CPI reported 11.37 per cent inflation rate in April from 11.25 per cent in March.

Inflation rate according to NBS closed February at 11.31per cent and 11.37per cent in January 2019.

But the by FDC and FSDH research attributed the increase to increase in food prices, due to the seasonality effect

typically associated with the onset of the planting season and Security challenges in food producing states.

According to FDC report, “Nigeria’s headline inflation is projected to inch up 0.01per cent to 11.38per cent in the month of May. “This will be due to a fall in output, evidenced by the sharp drop (16.24per cent) in the output sub-index of the PMI to 49 points in the month of May. “Planting season shortages contributed to an increase in the price of some commodities like tomatoes, pepper and yam. Notwithstanding, the price of rice and melon declined while garri was flat.

“We are also anticipating a 0.16per cent rise in the month-on-month inflation to 1.1per cent (14.04per cent annualized) in the month of May. Even though the uptick in the headline inflation is expected to be marginal, rising monthly inflation suggests an intensification of the inflationary

pressures in the months ahead especially with the minimum wage implementation.”

“We expect inflationary pressures to intensify in June as the planting season effect lingers. This could be further heightened by the minimum wage impact, increased forex demand for summer and Hajj. The monetary authority, which is saddled with the responsibility of maintaining price and exchange rate stability, is more likely to be hawkish in its policy decisions,” the report

by FDC added.

Similarly, analysts at FSDH research stated that, “We expect the May inflation rate to further increase marginally to 11.39per cent from 11.37per cent recorded in April 2019.

“In addition, we expect the monthon-month change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to increase by 1.10per cent in May 2019, the highest since January 2019.

With the onset of the rainy season, we have observed upward pressure on the food

component of the inflation basket.

“The major driver of the expected increase in the inflation rate is the increase in food prices, due to the seasonality effect typically associated with the onset of the planting season.

“Security challenges in some food producing regions in Nigeria reduce the supply of food items, leading to an increase in prices. The current inflation rate is higher than the six per cent – nine per cent target set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

“Given current realities, the inflation rate will remain above the CBN’s target in the short-to-medium-term. This may reduce the real yield on fixed income securities.”

FSDH research noted that one of the ways to reduce Nigeria’s inflation rate in a sustainable manner is to improve the infrastructure in the country”, the report

by FSDH research added.

Shippers Council, CEIC partner to boost export from Nigeria Temitope Adebayo The Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) says it is partnering with Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CEIC) in London to improve standards of export products from Nigeria.

Mr Hassan Bello, the Executive Secretary of NSC, disclosed this at a briefing on Sunday in Abuja.

He said the partnership was part of the council’s effort to improve the

products in the area of packaging, especially agro products.

“The issue of standardisation is being looked at by other agencies, the port quarantine, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, are doing a great job in standardisation, they are inspectors right from onset of produce.

An instance of it is agriculture, the type of fertilizer you use.

“The type of insecticide you will use, is all brought to bear in standardisation. They are in contact between the buyer oversees and

Nigeria, they will specify the grade they want in a product, all these we are keeping tabs on.

“We are now on high gear discussion with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council in London, because one area that is of difficulty is packaging.

“There are two packaging, for the journey itself, then packaging for commercial purposes, for advertisement, you have to package your products very well.

“So, the CEIC will come up with

ideas on putting packaging companies in all these ports including the Kano airport and then the Kaduna dry port and the dry ports wherever they find them,” he said.

Bello, however, said packaging would create access for import and export of Nigerian products.

He said the council would collaborate with other agencies, in order to have a structured system that prevented intruders from having access to farms or ports to purchase products illegally.

Ibom Air sets to dominate domestic, regional flights Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo A start-up airline, Ibom Air has unveiled its plans to be one of the major players in the Nigerian aviation industry.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the airline, Mr George Uriesi while speaking with aviation reporters at the airline’s inaugural flight operation to Lagos from Uyo, Akwa Ibom, said the vision of the airline is to be a world-class regional.

His words, ‘We don’t have any ambition for the long haul at all. We will settle in the country and after a while, we will go into the region. We

want to model ourselves around Comair of South Africa. They have been in existence for about 75 years. They have been profitable for 72 of their 75 years. They are such a world-class airline that British Airways has put its livery on it. They operate the franchise for British Airways. They have no ambition to go anywhere other than Southern Africa. That is the type of model we are after’.

He disclosed that the airline’s business plan is pretty robust, stressing that the carrier is growing organically.

He further stated that they plan to operate with ten CRJ900 aircraft, hinting that their operations

are number driven.

Already, the carrier is starting with three aeroplanes while the fourth aircraft will be added in August.

‘We are going to have the biggest CRJ900 on the continent. The fourth one will come in in August. Against numbers, the fifth aeroplane comes in the first quarter of 2020. But if the numbers are achieved before then, then we can bring it forward. It is going to be organic expansion against the numbers over the next three years. There are indications that it is going to be faster than slower’.

Asked why the airline opted for cost-effective

CRJ 900 airplanes considering that the B737 air the popular aircraft used by virtually all Nigerian airlines, Uriesi disclosed that they did a very robust assessment of the need and what is the right equipment for the need.

“We looked at the B737 and it is obvious we looked at the economics of the operations of the Embraer and the CRJ900 and eventually we opted for the CRJ. The pros were more than the cons.

Investing in more modern aeroplanes means that we have a longer period of more reliable services and in terms of business plans, that is much better for us. Besides, the equipment is the right one for this route structure.”

The Royal Dutch Shell (SHELL) has said that its gas distribution capacity has increased by 150 per cent in Nigeria, following the safe completion of the AgbaraOta Capacity.

Speaking at the Media launch 2019 edition of the ‘Shell in Nigeria briefing Notes’, the Managing Director of Shell, Ed. Ubong said that the company has seen the distribution capacity increased by over 150 per cent, which is geared at ensuring the expansion of Gas to the unreached states.

“Apart from increasing the distribution capacity in existing states where it operates, Shell is maturing opportunities to expand its gas distribution network to new states.

On completion of its expansion projects, over 1,000 megawatts equivalent of energy will be directly supplied to various industrial parks and manufacturing companies in Nigeria” Ubong said.

According to the statement, Shell completed the tfirst phase of its pipeline expansion in Abia state, connecting manufacturing industries in the Osisioma area directly to pipeline gas.

It said pipeline gas would also be delivered to the IPP consortium in charge of the provision of electricity to the popular Ariaria market in Abia state, one of the largest open stall markets in West Africa, with over 37,000 shops.

The first phase of the Ariaria IPP project inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 currently provides electricity to over 4,000 shops, according to the statement.

Furthermore, Ubong said, “Shell, as leading energy the company, is committed to supporting the Federal Government’s aspiration to grow the domestic gas market, making domestic infrastructure investments under the right commercial conditions and continuing to birth domestic gas projects that will be major game-changers in Nigeria’s quest for cleaner energy sufficiency, industrialization and economic growth” However, the facility enables Shell Nigeria and its partners to achieve regular gas supply to subscribed industries in Ogun while efforts are ongoing to reach more states, according to a statement.

Rafael Nadal beats Dominic Thiem to win 12th French Open title

Rafael Nadal now has a dozen French Open titles after he crushed Dominic Thiem 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1 in Sunday’s final at Roland Garros.

The Spaniard has set another remarkable record with Sunday’s feat as he became the first player to ever win the same grand slam 12 times.

Nadal overcame Thiem a year ago to reach No. 11 and he has done that again to justify the tag

23

‘King of Clay’ that he has long been nicknamed.

Nadal is now an 18-time grand slam champion and the 33-year-old for the first time is now within two grand slams of Roger Federer, the man he eased past in their headline semifinal Friday.

If the 37-year-old Swiss doesn’t win another major, Nadal could get to 20 just by wracking up more victories at Roland Garros.

IAAF unveils new name, logo The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has unveiled a new name and logo, `World Athletics’, saying it will make the sport more accessible to wider audience.

A statement by the association released to the media in Ilorin on Sunday, said that the new name was approved by the IAAF Council at its 217th meeting in Monaco. ”The new name, ‘World Athletics’, builds upon the organisation’s restructuring and governance reform agenda of the past four years to represent a modern, more creative and positive face for the sport. ”The new brand, Council agreed, makes the sport more accessible to a wider audience while giving the global governing body the opportunity to more clearly communicate its mission as the leader of the world’s most participatory sport.

“The hope is that our new brand will help attract and engage a new

generation of young people to athletics,” said IAAF President, Sebastian Coe. On his part, IAAF Chief Executive Officer, John Ridgeon, said “we have now created a brand that can come to life in the digital world while reflecting the changing nature of the sport. ”At the same time, we have brought into focus the athletes, the heroes of our sport.

“The IAAF name has been in existence for over 100 years, but it has little understanding or relevance to those outside of athletics.

“The new identity creates a symbol that can stand alone and work with partners and events.”

The new brand will begin its roll out in October after the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, and following Congress’s approval of the change to the Federation’s legal name.

The logo design comprised three main elements: ‘W’ of World, which is also a symbol of an athlete’s arms

raised in victory; ‘A’ of Athletics, which also represents an athlete’s focus as they prepare for the road ahead.

The third is an arc over both, to represent the entire athletics community coming together.

The logo also includes the sweep of a running track which appears in an upward trajectory, symbolising the desire to continually push beyond limits.

The patterns capture the energy present in all four of athletics’ group disciplines: running, jumping, throwing and walking.

The rebrand process began in January, 2018 when the IAAF invited five global brand and marketing agencies to respond to the brief outlining the rebrand concept.

From those, an internal team selected a short list, which then underwent a consultation process where Member-Federations, partners, athletes and broadcasters, provided feedback before the final version was presented to Council.

Real Madrid to unveil £130 million Eden Hazard on Thursday Real Madrid have signed Eden Hazard from Chelsea on a five-year contract.

The 28-year-old will be officially unveiled on June 13 once he has undergone his medical.

Madrid are understood to have struck a deal with Chelsea that could rise to a club-record transfer of £130 million once all bonus payments come into play.

“Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC have agreed to the transfer of the player Eden Hazard,” read a Madrid statement.

“The player remains linked to the club during the next five seasons, until June 30, 2024.

“Eden Hazard will be presented as a new player of Real Madrid on Thursday June 13 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, after passing the relevant medical examination.”

Hazard becomes Madrid’s second major signing after Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic, in a summer of rebuilding in Zinedine Zidane’s second stint as manager at the Bernabeu.

Chelsea will view the outcome of lengthy negotiations with Madrid as a success, as Real had been reluctant to pay more than £88 million.

The basic fee for Hazard is expected to reach £100 million, the sum for which Chelsea had been holding out despite the 28-year-old entering the final year of his Stamford Bridge contract.

Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012, and went on to win two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and one League Cup – and two Europa League crowns.

Chelsea moved to pay tribute to Hazard on confirming his departure, with his Blues career ending on 352 appearances and 110 goals.

“Although it is with sadness we say goodbye to Eden – and we made it absolutely clear to him the club wished him to stay – we respect the decision he has made to take on a new challenge in a different country and follow his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid,” said club director Marina Granovskaia.

“The memories he leaves us with will not fade.

“He provided all who watched Chelsea play with great entertainment and many match-winning contributions, and for that we thank Eden enormously.

“He has been a model professional throughout his time at the club, a

wonderful individual to have around and a joy to work with.

“We look forward to welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the future.”

WWC: We’ll not give up – Super Falcons Super Falcons head coach Thomas Dennerby on Saturday in Reims assured that his team was going to fight till the end at France 2019 in spite of their opening match disappointment.

Newsmen report that the Falcons were 0-3 losers to Norway in their opening Group A match at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in France Dennerby however assured, immediately after the match, that the Nigerian senior national female football team were not going to give up in the attempt to better their best-ever mundial appearance.

“When it comes to sports, never ever give up. We have to fight for 180 minutes more, plus added time,’’ he said.

The Swede who led the team to their ninth African title at Ghana last November said every game was now going to matter.

They face South Korea and hosts France in their remaining group phase matches.

“A game can change in the last minute. So, we will work very hard for it and I can promise that we’ll never give up.”

Speaking also, Onome Ebi, one of the team’s veterans, said they were

going back to make good use of the lessons learnt against Norway.

“We’re going to go back and look at our mistakes and maybe work on them. The second game will be better than the first.

“We’ve learned so much from this first game and we’ll come back.

We have to win the second game (against Korea Republic), and we’ll do all we can to win,’’ she assured.

NAN reports that the 0-3 result was not the start the Super Falcons would have wanted, going by the way they came into the game.

This showed in the fact that, while they did not gain any point, there were some positive signs in the second half after Dennerby made half time tactical changes.

Ensuring during the second half that the scoreline remained no more than 3-0 at the end of the day was important, if you recall 1995 when Nigeria lost 0-8 to Norway.

And it was crucial to their chances in against South Korea in Grenoble on Wednesday.

The coming war in Abuja

Sports MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2019

VOL. 3

NO. 965

Times Guest Columnst By ‘Tope Fasua

I was in University of Calabar recently, at the invitation of their Economics students, and one of the other speakers was an accomplished comedian/on-air personality. He made a profound statement that people (like me) who are too serious, never make money. And he is right. The powers-that-be at any point in time, also have more time for people who will make them laugh and absolutely none for people who are stressing them about doing the right thing. I also do not want to end up as a doomsday prophet. One thing I can say for myself, though, is that I try to offer real solutions. Most of them are ignored, a few are stolen, but majority of them are timeless. In spite of all this, there is work to do.

There are facts to deal with.

As for the coming war in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), I do not mean the war that will be stepped up by the deprived indigenes. The other day, they blocked the airport road and engaged the vice president.

We hear that all indigenes of what is today known as the Federal Capital Territory were compensated a long time ago.

But at least a generation has died since 1976 (43 years ago) when the Abuja project started. Chances are that the compensations were haphazard, incomplete, embezzled. Chances are that it was inequitable, and inadequate.

But here we are. A problem is brewing in that department. Is the FCT going to go down the route of the Niger Delta? Usually, and in organised societies, indigenes in such peculiar settings are relocated, and houses are built to set new standards of living for them. But here we haven’t done anything at all for people that governments – or businesses, as in the case of the Niger Delta, displace.

I am also not talking about the war between prostitutes and night clubs and the Abuja authorities who chose the Ramadan season to do some clean-ups. I must say I am one of the few who supported the actions of the FCTA to close down a certain notorious strip club in a residential area, but I don’t support the demolition of the building that was subsequently carried out. I recently noticed that the Voice of Nigeria now occupies the fraudulently acquired ultramodern plaza which hitherto belonged to the late Alex Badeh at Wuse 2. As an economist, I detest waste where value can be had.

That Caramelo night club could have been converted to better use, or reverted to its original use – a clinic. However, I am not one of those who speak about job loss for the strippers and bouncers in an

illegal club whose stock-in-trade is immorality. Many Nigerians are actually challenged in this area, and we don’t see the line between good and bad.

My chief concern today is simple. When next you are flying into Abuja and you happen to have a window seat, look down.

If you are used to Abuja, you will see the explosion of shanty towns.

The poor and neglected in Abuja have returned with vengeance.

Shanty towns or ghettos are spreading across the face of the FCT like a nasty rash. This time, as someone commented, they are no longer building with mud but with bricks. Those who can afford to, cast ‘german floors’ before erecting their usually unplanned buildings. The real problem with these ghettos is that no one is in control. On the ground, people build haphazardly and there is no provision for niceties like sewage disposal. Government services never get to such places. These are tough places to live in, but this is what the people can afford.

I recall in 2005/6 when El Rufai was the minister of the FCT, he embarked on some merciless demolitions and, of course, showed the usual Nigerian planlessness but with a massive dollop of heartlessness. In better countries where people value human lives, there will be mass engagements to know how to provide for people because every human deserves survival – except if one were to play God. I recall El Rufai on TV saying that anyone who earned less than N50,000 monthly should return to their village as Abuja was not for the poor. I recall asking on these pages how many of us who live in Abuja could afford to pay over N50,000 for our maiguards, washmen, drivers and other domestic workers – except perhaps those like El Rufai who have been in government for decades now. Anyhow, as at 2006, the UN Commission for Refugees noted that Nigeria had 500,000 displaced people (mostly from Abuja), the second highest number in the world, and we were not in war time. I recall families in Kubwa and elsewhere, in the heavy rain – father mother, children, even newborns – after the diminutive El Rufai had done what he knew how to do. Many died rushing back to their villages.

Many lost businesses and homes at the same time.

That was an era. Some may say El Rufai is the best FCT minister so far, but I believe he could have done better. We need profound, humane and far-reaching policies.

Anyhow the era has changed.

Whereas ministers like Aliero and Bala Muhammad embarked

on some demolition of their own – albeit not as ruthless as El Rufai did – the last FCT minister probably didn’t have any perspective on the matter. Like in other departments of governance, under Buhari’s government and leadership, the FCT has properly and fundamentally fallen apart.

There is danger ahead. Serious danger. Any minister that comes in, in the future and seeks to correct the ‘ghettorisation’ of this built up city is going to have a proper war on his/her hands because of the sheer scale of what now needs to be done. Nigerians have become angry, and many more years of oppression, failed promises and gross mismanagement have hardened the hearts of many and turned them away from the possibility of cooperation. More than any other state administration, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has totally let go, and sat around while a total mess is being made of whatever master plan it lays claim to.

I am not advocating for demolitions, but something more profound. I am advocating for us to have a government that truly thinks – and understands the value of human lives. I have studied other countries which managed to rein in their citizens from slums. Singapore did theirs early in the day. It is indeed a great sociological exercise to get people to move away from the ghetto mentality and enhance their standards of living. A great amount of investment must be made. A prototype must be developed across the country, of very cheap urban houses that current ghetto-dwellers can upgrade their lives into. It will be rough and tough, and mistakes will be made, but what must be done, must be done. The animalistic way we behave to each other must stop. And for certain, Abuja must be recovered from its current descent into a coming anarchy. Each passing day that no action is taken, the intensity of the coming war will be fiercer.

Abuja should be the bellwether for the rest of our state capitals.

We want to see our own ‘projects’ and ‘council houses’ in Nigeria, massive housing schemes for the poor. We should be able to try and mitigate against the mistakes other countries made with theirs.

But in spite of those mistakes, mass housing for the really poor is better than ghetto life and the coming war. I just wonder when we will stop deceiving ourselves that housing development is about building luxury houses everywhere for the corrupt civil servants – many of which are empty presently.

AFCON: Gernot Rohr releases Super Eagles final 23-man squad Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has axed the duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Semi Ajayi from his final 23-man squad to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Iheanacho struggled for regular playing time at English Premier League outfit Leicester City in the 2018-19 season and failed to convince Rohr he is worthy of a place in the final team for the competition.

Ajayi was a standout performer for Rotherham United in the Sky Bet Championship but was up against more experienced players who play at bigger clubs.

The Super Eagles were held to a 0-0 draw by the Warriors of Zimbabwe in a friendly encounter at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, on Saturday.

The 23 players and their officials are expected to fly to Ismaila on Sunday for the final lap of their preparations for the competition.

The three-time African champions will face the Terangha Lions in their final friendly match on June 16.

...drops Kelechi Iheanacho, Semi Ajayi Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has dropped Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho and Rottherham United player Semi Ajayi for the Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off on June 21 in Egypt.

Iheanacho who was part of the team for the qualifiers failed to final cut as a result of his lack of playing time with his club in England while Ajayi who was player of the month for his English Championship side last season failed to measure in training.

Indications that Rohr was going to drop Iheanacho who has also featured for premier league side, Manchester emerged yesterday when he was not featured for the friendly against Zimbabwe at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.

All throughout last week, Rohr had hinted that only players that were in form would be make the 23-man squad for the

tournament.

The team will fly out later today from Asaba to Egypt on a chartered flight.

The Eagles will set up training base in Ismailia, where they will play a final warmup game against Senegal on June 16.
