Anambra: You may go to jail, CJN warns commentators Continued from page 1 advised against unguarded comments on matters before courts of law, especially the pending dispute over Anambra Central Senatorial rerun, saying prejudice is contemptuous offence that will earn a term of imprisonment. In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant

(Media), Awassam Bassey, on Wednesday, the CJN reminded the public that it is contempt of Court for anyone to discuss any matter pending in any Court of Law in the country. He said that his attention has been drawn to the emerging and continued practice of discussions of matters that are subjudice in the print and electronic media, such as the issues

concerning the Anambra State Central Senatorial District dispute. He said that to make matters worse, in such discourse, “the language being used in describing the judgments of the courts is not only ungentlemanly, degrading and contemptuous, but amounts to unchari-

table insults which should not be encouraged in any decent democracy.” The CJN said he will continue to encourage parties and the general public to use only lawful means in the pursuit of remedies for their real and imagined grievances. He reiterated his appeal

to litigants, advocates and the public to refrain from making unsubstantiated and malicious allegations and complaints against judicial officers and “reminds judges to consider invoking their inherent power of contempt where there are clear violations or infractions in respect of

matters that are subjudice.” The CJN assured Nigerians that the judiciary remains committed in the discharge of its responsibilities in line with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) without fear or favour; affection or ill-will. He particularly drew atContinued on page 6

Buhari appoints new DG for NIA Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Ahmed Rufai Abubakar as the substantive Director General for the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). The new DG is a retired career Foreign Service officer, who until his appointment, served as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs/International Relations. The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, stated this a statement made available on Wednesday. He added that Abubakar’s appointment took immediate effect. The statement reads in part, “Abubakar had extensive experience working with the United Nations in peace support operations, mediation process, preventive diplomacy and good offices, as well as the promotion of good governance and respect for the rule of

law and human rights. “He also briefly served as Senior Adviser at the Multinational Joint Task Force with headquarters in Ndjamena, Chad, before his appointment as SSAP. “Abubakar holds a B.A degree in French Language and Literature, and an M.A degree in Francophone Maghrebian Literature, both from Bayero University, Kano. He is also fluent in English and Arabic. The Daily Times recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari had sacked the former DG, Amb. Ayo Oke, following the recommendation of a three-man committee led by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo that investigated him over the discovery of about N13billion in an apartment at Osborne Towers Ikoyi, Lagos in which NIA was reportedly claiming ownership. The committee also had the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN); and the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, as members

Construction of City Centre, Shoprite Begins in Ogun ÏÏÏ

Construction of the proposed Ogun State City Centre has kicked off in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The project will accommodate the shopping mall of Africa’s largest goods retailer, Shoprite, a twelvestorey banking facility, hotel, ampi-theatre and service apartment. Speaking when he visited the site yesterday, the state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, said the project will be private sector-driven, adding however that, the state government would construct the ampi-theatre. He disclosed that two banks, Guarantee Trust Bank and First Bank Plc,

are already constructing their corporate buildings, which includes a twelvestorey building, from where banking activities in West Africa will be controlled. The centre, he added, will also harbour the Central station for the Federal Government rail project, assuring that it will be completed in 24 months. Commissioner for Housing, Arc. Segun Abiodun, said the project is one of the many, expected to attract investors to do business and reside in the state, while the Promoter of Shoprite Supermarket, Mr. Tayo Amusan, said, when completed, it will be the second largest of such.

Reprisal looms in Bayelsa as militants kill 4 soldiers Continued from page 1 at Toru- Ndoru Community in Ekeremor Local Government Area. Daily Times gathered on Wednesday the four soldiers and some militants were killed in a bloody clash between militants and soldiers engaged in the operation. The military had engaged in the operation to dislodge and arrest a gang of notorious militants terrorizing the area. The Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Delta Safe had launched a manhunt in the area with a mandate to arrest the militants behind the beheading of the security official. In their separate reactions, the Ijaw Youths Council and Bayelsa State government had accused troops of violence and razing houses of innocent residents in the area. Four of the soldiers who were engaged in the operation were said to have been killed in a shootout with the militants. It was gathered that the Commander of JTF, Rear

Admiral Suleiman Apochi, has deployed more troops as reinforcement in the community. The troops were said to have intensified the manhunt to locate the hideout of the militant leaders in the creeks. A security source who did not want his name in print because he was not authorised to speak on the matter confirmed the killing of the four soldiers by the militants. He vowed that the murderers of their colleagues must be apprehended. Meanwhile, the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has directed members of the Senate Adhoc Committee on Security to immediately resume sitting and work through the weekend to specifically to run an interim report ready for the consideration of members by next week. The Senate is expected to resume for legislative business next Tuesday after an end of the year break, indicating that it was already poised to address the issue of herdsmen, farmers clash

in Benue and other states of the federation. The Senate President gave the order to the Committee in response to escalation of bloodletting in Benue State, just as he reemphasized his belief that the killings are clear indications that the Security architecture in the country has inherent faults and needs to be refurbished. “I believe the sad situation in Benue State shows some fundamental faults in our security system. There is clear failure of intelligence gathering, analysis and response time. Our security agencies must be totally overhauled in terms of equipment, specialization, funding, training and staffing. “This is the reason why in November, the Senate set up a special committee led by Senate Majority Leader, Ahmed Lawan to work with security agencies and review the entire system with a view to identifying what is required in terms of laws, process, procedure, funding and other necessities for us to have a solid

security system which can be pro-active in identifying potential threats, responding to them on time and preventing any breach. “We are quite aware of the fact that security is the first and prime responsibility of any government. That is why since early last week I have directed the Lawan committee to take into consideration the sad developments in Benue and Rivers in their deliberations. Now, we cannot wait for the time they planned to conclude their recommendations. They must fast track their schedule . “They must sit through the weekend and get an interim report ready for the Senate when we resume plenary on Tuesday. We must immediately support the executive in solving this problem. We cannot afford shedding of blood and we are already moving into the election year with the potential for the aggravation or escalation of these problems. We must decisively resolve the problem of needless blood letting”, Saraki stated.

Anambra: You may go to jail, CJN warns commentators Continued from page 5 tention of the public to decided case of prejudice involving Attorney-General vs Times Newspapers Ltd (1973) 3 All ER 54 at 65 (1973) 3 WLR 298, where Lord Reid opined thus: “I think that anything in the nature of prejudgment of a case or of specific issues in it is objectionable not only because of its possible effect on that particular case but also because of its side effects which may be far reaching. “Responsible ‘mass media will do their best to be fair, but there will also be ill-informed, slapdash or prejudiced attempts to influence the public. If people are led to think that it is easy to find the truth, disrespect for the processes of the law could follow and, if mass media are allowed

to judge, unpopular people and unpopular causes will fare very badly. “Most cases of prejudging of issues fall within the existing authorities on contempt. I do not think that the freedom of the press would suffer, and I think that the law would be clearer and easier to apply in practice if it is made a general rule that it is not permissible to prejudge issues in pending cases,” the CJN quoted the judge as saying. He said that in the same case, Lord Morris held on page 68 that: “Though a judge would hope to be resistant to any pre-trial soundings of the trumpet, it must surely be contrary to public policy to allow them full blast. “Furthermore, not only is it from the public point of view unseemly that in respect of a cause await-

ing the determination of a court there should be public advocacy in favour of one particular side or some particular points of view but also the courts, I think, owe it to the parties to protect them either from the prejudices of prejudgment or from the necessity of having themselves to participate in the flurries of pre-trial publicity. “In this connection, I agree with Lord Denning MR when he said “We must not allow trial by newspaper or trial by television or trial by any medium other than the courts of law. “Many judicial expressions of opinion illustrate the viewpoint that I have set out. Lord Hardwicke L.C. in the St. Jamess Evening Post Case 2 said that there was nothing of more pernicious consequence, than to prejudice the minds of the public

against persons concerned as parties in causes, before the cause is finally heard. While back home, in Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd vs ASSCAN (1995) 8 NWLR (Part 412) 129 at 143, Uwais, JSC, (as he then was) held that: “In respect of criminal proceedings, it is forbidden for parties, their counsel or newspaper commentators to freely offer opinions in respect of matters pending in court, including any situation where a conviction has been entered but the convicts appeal is pending at the appellate court”. The CJN reminded the general public that the rule of law remains the solution to the country’s numerous problems.

CBN disowns Emefiele’s twitter handles Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Central Bank of

Nigeria (CBN) has disowned a purported Twitter Handle linked to the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, describing them as fake. The CBN pointed out that the Twitter Handles bearing the name and

photograph of Emefiele were fake and targeted at misleading unsuspecting members of the public. The Acting Head, Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okorafor, in a statement on Wednesday, advised members of the public to ignore such Twitter handles. “The attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria has been drawn to the

existence of several twitter handles purportedly owned by the Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele,” the statement read. “We wish to inform members of the public, particularly members of the social media community that Emefiele currently has no twitter handle. “We wish to state categorically therefore, that

the twitter handles bearing the name and photographs of Emefiele are fake and targeted at misleading unsuspecting members of the public. “Accordingly, we wish to advise all members of the social media community and the general public to be wary of the fake accounts and discountenance whatever message conveyed therein.”

that recognised Dr. Obiora Okonkwo as the lawful senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District at the Senate. Justice John Tsoho on Wednesday announced that he would deliver his verdict on the matter after taken submissions from lawyers for and against an application brought by the lawyer to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN). When the matter came up on Wednesday, Awomolo informed the court of the pending application filed on December 21, 2017, asking the court to vary its consent judgment delivered on December 13, 2017 wherein Okonkwo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was declared as the lawful candidate for the contested seat. Justice Tsoho had also in the judgment, directed INEC to immediately issue Okonkwo with a certificate of return. But moving the application on Wednesday, Awomolo, who argued that lawyers in the matter ought to have drawn the attention of the court to the three judgments of the Court of Appeal, said both the PDP and INEC were part of the processes. He argued that since the appellate court in the three judgment ordered for a fresh election to be conducted within 90 days from the date of judgment, the lower court ought to defer to the upper court’s decision. Awomolo said: “So if it is brought to the notice of the court that there are judgment of the Appeal Court that says election should be conducted within 90 days, the court should defer to the judgment”. The senior advocate therefore urged the lower court to set aside its decision and not to discountenance the decision of a superior court. He further argued that where a consent judgment is entered in error, it is bound to be set aside, adding that the court of law cannot compel illegality or impossibility. But the lawyer to Okonkwo (the judgment creditor and first respondent), Mr. Sebastine Hon (SAN), urged the court to dismiss the application for lacking in merit and being incompetent. He claimed Awomolo’s

submission contradicts the key prayer of the application which he said is also vague. He also argued that the absence of the seal of the deponent on the affidavit in support of the application has rendered it incompetent. Responding to the issue of court hierachy raised by INEC, Hon argued that the lower court cannot defer to the upper court since the rule changes when it involves a pre-election matter. He said the decision of the lower court was not unlawful in the face of the Appeal Court as the Federal High Court in a judgment delivered by Justice Ahmed Mohammed, held that the Court of Appeal process was unrelated to the preelection matter. He added that INEC was yet to appeal the decision. He also drew the court’s attention to a notice of appeal filed at the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Court of Appeal by the PDP as well as an application for stay of proceedings, adding that based on the appeal, the judgment of the upper court cannot be binding. Urging the court to dismiss the motion for lacking in merit, Hon, however, asked if the court is inclined to grant the application to vary its judgment, it should however order INEC to issue his client with the certificate of return. On his part, Austin Umaji, lawyer to the PDP and its former National Chairman, Adamu Muazu, aligned himself with the submission of Hon, adding that the application was unknown to law, incompetent and should be dismissed. Similar position was also taken by Ernest Nwoye, lawyer to the sacked senator representing Anambra central, Senator Uche Ekwunife. The Daily Times recalls that INEC, following the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, fixed Saturday for the conduct of a rerun election to fill the vacant senatorial seat at the National Assembly. But a new twist came up following the consent judgment of the Federal High Court which declared Okonkwo as the lawful candidate for the senatorial district and consequently directed INEC to issue him a certificate of return.

N13bn cash: EFCC seeks permanent forfeiture of Ikoyi property to FG Peter Fowoyo

ÏÏÏ

One month after a Federal High Court, Ikoyi,Lagos ordered the temporary forfeiture of a property situated at Flat 7B, No.16, Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday asked Justice Saliu Saidu to order the final forfeiture of the property to the Federal Government. The judge had on November 9, 2017, while granting an ex-parte motion by the EFCC, ordered the temporary forfeiture of the apartment where $43,449,947; £27,800 and N23, 218,000 (about N13billion) were found in iron cabinets and “Ghana must -go bags to the government. Justice Saidu had then directed the commission to notify the sole respondent to the suit, Chobe Ventures Limited, to appear before him in a fortnight to show cause why the flat should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. The anti-graft agency was also directed to publicize the interim order in a national daily for the respondent or anyone interested in the property to show cause within two weeks why a final forfeiture order should not be made on the property. Mrs. Folashade Oke, the

wife of the sacked Director General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Ayo Oke, was named by the EFCC as the owner of the flat. At the resumed hearing of the matter on Wednesday, the EFCC’s lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo, argued that Section 17 of The Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006 empowers the court to order the final forfeiture of the property. He added that Section 44 (2) (k) of the Constitution also permits the take-over of a property in view of an enquiry. He said, “This motion has its root in the Constitution and we urged the court to grant it in view of the fact that Chobe Ventures which allegedly used proceeds of unlawful activities to acquire the property in issue had not controverted the averrments as to the source of the money”. An interested party, Union Bank Plc, had earlier urged the court to discharge the interim order of forfeiture placed on the property. The bank’s lawyer, E. N. Ayuba, told Justice Saidu that his client filed the motion seeking the discharge of the interim order to protect its interest in the property. In an affidavit in support of the motion deposed to by Alfred Olukayode Edun,

the bank argued that the flat was part of the property situated at 16, Osborne Rd, Ikoyi, Lagos, belonging to Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Muazu, by virtue of a certificate of occupancy dated 27th September, 2009 and registered as 97/97/2009 in the Lands Registry Office, Alausa, Lagos. The bank said Alhaji Muazu has already mortgaged the entire property to it by virtue of Tripartite Deed of Legal Mortgage dated November 1, 2011, in order to secure a loan granted to Tripple A. Properties

& Investment Ltd. The bank further claimed that the original titled deeds of the property has been vested in it while the loan is yet to be liquidated till date despite the fact that its tenor has expired. The bank further claimed it sold the property to Chobe Ventures Ltd to liquidate the loan. But in its counter affidavit to the application, the EFCC argued that the bank lacks the ‘locus standi’ to challenge the forfeiture of property ‘reasonably suspected to have been ac-

quired with proceeds of unlawful activities of Ambassador Ayo Oke and Mrs. Folashade Oke’. The anti-graft agency in the affidavit deposed to by Mohammed Chiroma, argued that the funds used to acquire the property sought to be forfeited in the name of Chobe Ventures Limited belong to the Federal Government but was fraudulently converted to the company’s use. The deponent further averred that if the property is finally forfeited to government, the right of Union

Bank Plc, if any, in relation to the covenants in its deed of assignment with Chobe Ventures Limited will not be hampered in any manner. The EFCC further claimed that having transferred its interest in the property sought to be forfeited to Chobe Ventures Limited, upon the receipt of a sufficient consideration, the bank has no legal right over the property again. Meanwhile the Judge has adjourned the matter till January 19, for ruling on the interested party’s motion.

Political parties now 68 as INEC issues certificates to 22 new groups Tunde Opalana, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday presented certificates of registration to the 22 newly registered political parties. The registration of the 22 new political parties was approved by the commission on December 14, 2017, bringing the number of registered parties in the country to 68. The new political parties are: All Blending Party (ABP), All Grassroots Alliance (AGA), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), Coalition for Change (C4C) and Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). Also registered are: Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN), Justice Must Prevail Party (JMPP), Legacy Party of Nigeria (LPN), Mass Action Joint Alliance (MAJA), Modern Democratic Party

(MDP), National Interest Party (NIP), National Rescue Mission (NRM) and New Progressive Mission (NPM). New Progressive Movement (NPM), Nigeria Democratic Congress Party (NDCP), People’s Alliance for National Development and Liberty (PANDEL), People’s Trust (PT) and Providence People’s Congress (PPC) were also registered. Also on the list are: Re-Build Nigeria Party (RBNP), Restoration Party of Nigeria (RP) and Sustainable National Party (SNP). Speaking at the presentation of certificates to the new parties, the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said in compliance with the judgment of the Federal High Court, the Commission had also registered the Socialist Party of Nigeria. Yakubu said: “We have already issued the Certificate

of Registration to the SPN. The number of new political parties has risen to 22 in addition to the 46 parties already in existence. This means that the total number of political parties in Nigeria today stands at 68.” Yakubu advised the new parties to operate within the law at all times, as well add value to our democracy by adhering to the tenets of democratic norms anchored on the rule of law. He said: “Your registration is coming close to the 2019 general elections for which the commission has released the timetable and schedule of activities. “Later this year, two governorship elections are scheduled in Ekiti State on July 14 and Osun State on September 22. “It is of utmost importance for political parties ensure that their respective activities are not only open and democratic but also based on compliance with relevant provisions of your

respective Constitutions.” Yakubu disclosed that since the registration of the 22 new political parties, the commission had received more 90 applications from associations seeking registration as political parties. He said that out of the 90 applications, 61 associations had failed the initial assessment of their proposed names, logos or acronyms and had been notified. He said: “Twenty-five associations that passed initial assessment have been advised to proceed to the next stage of the registration process. “Four associations are undergoing preliminary assessments of the suitability of their proposed names, logos and acronyms.” He assured all associations that the commission would continue to treat each application fairly and on its merit consistent with the provisions of the law. Yakubu also assured

Nigerians that INEC was capable of managing the increased numbers of registered political parties in the country. He said: “The number of political parties is good for our plural democracy. However, political parties must cooperate with the Commission for successful elections. “If each of the 68 political parties in Nigeria today fields candidates for all the 1,558 constituencies to be contested in the 2019 general elections, the commission will grapple with 105,944 candidates. “If you consider the management and logistics of providing ballot papers for a projected 80 million registered voters, ad hoc staff. “The requirements for forward and reverse logistics, monitoring of political party primaries, electioneering campaign, campaign finance, voter education, accreditation of national/intenational observers and the

media, the task is enormous. “I wish to assure Nigerians that we are aware of the challenges. We are also up to the task.” Yakubu appealed to political parties to adhere strictly to the 2019 election timelines warning that INEC would not hesitate to reject the submission by any party that violates the timelines. The Chairman of InterParty Advisory Council, Alhaji Mohammed Nalado, commended INEC for registration of the new parties, while advising the new parties to play by the rule. Responding on behalf of the newly registered parties, the National Chairman of JPF, Breakforth Onwunbuya, also commended INEC for approving their registration. Onwunbuya pledged that the new parties would contribute their quotas towards deepening of Nigerian democracy and improving the country.

EFCC raises the alarm over ‘fake officials executing search warrants’ Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

ÏÏÏThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raised an alarm over impostors who goes about executing search warrants in other to dupe unsuspecting persons, especially politicians and public office holders. The Commission, therefore, warned members of the public to be wary of these unscrupulous persons and urged them to verify the authenticity of any purported search warrant from the Commission. EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, in a press statement said anybody in doubt of the genuineness of any search warrant should contact the Commission’s head office or any of its states offices. “It has come to the knowledge of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC that some unscrupulous individuals parading themselves as operatives of the Commission have been harassing some prominent persons in the country on the pretext of purportedly executing Search Warrants on behalf of the Commission. Among their victims are politically exposed persons including ranking lawmakers. “This development is frightening as it represents a new dimension to the nefarious business of impersonation of EFCC officers by fraudsters and other criminal gangs.

Herdsmen attack: 56 given mass burial in Taraba Okerafor Jalingo.

Athanatius,

It was emotion laden moment as more than 56 persons killed by fulani militias in Didango village were given mass burial at Abbare, Lau Local Government, Taraba state. Donaddo, Lavoro, Katibu, Didango and Maku communities were raided by fulani militias in what is perceived to be coordinated attacks which lasted two days with houses razed and about 92 persons killed while 35 people are still missing. Lamenting on what has befallen the people of the area, relatives of the victims blamed security agents for not mobilising in time to their area within the two days Fulani militias laid siege on their communities. They denied that the attacks had anything to do with the crisis between Ba-

chama and Fulani but insisted that they were raided without provocation. Mrs Paulina Habila mother of four who lost the family breadwinner said that they have been made homeless based on federal government failure to protect citizenry. “ My husband was slaughtered like a goat in my presence by Fulani militia. They razed down our community in my village alone 35 persons were shot”. “ Are the Fulani herdsmen fighting war with Christian communities in Taraba state, why are they killing us for no reason?” Another victim of the attack, Pastor Titus Makovini said that their killers entered the community church where they slaughtered some worshipers while others fled. According to him security personnel refused to protect them based on

their refusal to reinforce to the area. The affected communities have been deserted as its residents have however vacated their ancestral homes for fear of further attacks. Some of them relocated to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in the state capital. Speaking to reporters at the IDPs camps in Jalingo, they said their ancestral homes have become unsafe for habitation since Fulani herdsmen still lurk around but called on federal government for prompt aid. “ Go back to our village all what we have laboured for has gone, we dont know where to start, we keep on wandering if President Buhari is after us by allowing his kinsmen killing us unchallenged”. Miss Afiniki Lazurus said that they need the assistance of good spirited

Nigerians to come to their aid at the IDP camp. According to her, they only eat once in a day and those of them that are sick depend on the mercy of God for healing. Taraba State Police Command had however promised residents of the affected communities’ safety, urging them to return home for security shielding. Image maker of the command said more security had already been redeployed to the troubled communities to safeguard them from reoccurring attacks. He confirmed that the attacks lasted two days, thus difficult for police to give actual figure of the casualties. He exonerated the Fulani herdsmen of the heinous crime, maintaining that unidentified gun men attacked the communities.

ÏÏÏ Delta Air Lines has been named the World’s Most On-Time Airline among mainline carriers by the aviation data and analytics company, FlightGlobal, incorporating FlightStats. This is the first U.S. airline to earn the industryleading distinction in the nine years FlightGlobal’s FlightStats has presented its OPS Awards. In 2017, Delta’s mainline operation saw 85.94 per cent of flights arrive within 14 minutes of the scheduled arrival time, the industry’s widely used definition of on-time, according to FlightStats. “We are extremely proud of what Delta employees have been able to accomplish in service to our customers to drive a safe and reliable global operation,” said Gil West, Delta’s executive senior Vice President and chief operating officer. “The results reported by FlightStats are humbling and yet another proof point that Delta employees worldwide are redefining operational excellence. Hats off to all Delta employees who come to work every day looking for ways to make meaningful improvements to the airline and continue to differentiate ourselves from our competitors,” Gill said. Delta was also recognized as North America’s most ontime major carrier—a title that takes into account the Delta Connection regional operation. FlightStats reports that Delta, together with its regional partners, saw 84.06 percent of flights arrive on time in 2017.

Kashamu’s Suspension: Maintain status quo, Court tells PDP Doosuur Iwambe - Abuja

ÏÏÏ Justice Valentine Ashi of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Apo, Abuja, has described as illegal, the suspension by the Peoples Democratic Partys (PDP) suspension of Buruji Kashamu, the senator representing Ogun East senatorial district of Ogun state. The court has also fixed February 22 for the hearing of the The court described the action of the party as contemptious add-

ing that staus quo must be maintained by parties in the matter. It could be recalled that shortly before the National Convention of the party on December 9, 2017, the PDP suspended Kashamu over alleged anti-party activities. When the case came up before Justice Ashi on Wednesday, counsel to Kashamu, Mr. Charles Ndukwe, told the court about the action of the PDP in suspending the Senator, describing it as illegal. At the last adjourned date, the parties in the suit agreed that no

further step will be taken pending the hearing and determination of the case. Ndukwe told the court that the PDP has already gone ahead to suspend the senator while the case is still pending. Ndukwe argued a motion before the court to set aside the suspension. He prayed the court to set aside Kashamu’s suspension and and order that status quo be maintained in the matter. However, Justice Ashi in a short ruling declared the suspension of

Kashamu as illegal and described the action of the party as being contemptuous. He further adjourned the case for hearing. In December, a Federal High Court in Abuja struck out a suit which the Senator filed to prevent the PDP from taking disciplinary measures against him. Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the court struck out the suit after he upheld the party’s objection which challenged the competence and validity of the suit filed by the senator.

48,527 out of 72,384 prison inmates awaiting trials - Prisons boss Myke Uzendu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The ControllerGeneral, Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS), Mr Ja’afaru Ahmed, has raised the alarm over the increase in awaiting-trial inmates in the nation’s prisons, saying that 48,527 of 72,384 prison inmates in 2017 representing 66 percent of the population are awaiting trials. Ahmed disclosed this development during a media briefing in Abuja after

a facility tour of Dukpa Prison Farm Centre in Gwagwalada, FCT, on Wednesday. The Comptroller General, who was represented by the spokesman of the NPS, Mr Francis Enobore, described the new development as a threat to efforts of the Service to de-congest prison facilities nationwide. He said that as at December 15, 2017, there were 48,527 awaiting-trial inmates nationwide, representing 66 per cent of a

total prison population of 72,384. He said, “ Although the population of inmates awaiting trial shows a considerable reduction, the rate of influx, if care is not taken, will sooner than later make a travesty of the present decongestion effort. “Some state task forces arrest minor offenders like street hawkers and even those without proof of means of livelihood and send them to prison without a corresponding

UI admits 3,783 out of 56,172 applicants for 2017/2018 ÏÏÏThe University of Ibadan on Wednesday said it recommended 3,783 candidates to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for admission for the 2017/2018 academic session. The Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Adeyinka Aderinto, disclosed this at a briefing with newsmen on Wednesday in Ibadan. Aderinto said the figure was out of the 56,172 applicants who chose the university through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry. According to Aderinto,

the admission for 2017/2018 will end in January 2018, while screening of those already issued admission letters will soon commence. The DVC, who noted that a total of 26,769 candidates who scored 200 and above sat for the Post-UTME of the university, added that out of the number, only 9,268 scored 50 per cent and above. Aderinto said 3,783, who were finally recommended to JAMB for admission met the approved admission criteria. He said the university was committed to upholding its standards in admission.

mechanism for further care and support. “Managing this category of inmates has always been fraught with risks and myriad of problems even with the deployment of large toll of Service’s human and material resources.” He reaffirmed the earlier call by the Service for an alternative custodial punishment through the domestication and implementation of the 2015 Administration of Criminal Justice Act by states.

The Prison boss also raised concern over the “rejection of ex-convicts by members of the society,” and the discrimination shown to them after they have served out their terms, noting that such acts were capable of pushing former inmates back into crime. He said, “It is sad that the sanctimonious attitude of some relations of offenders has remained a bane in ex-convict reintegration into the society. “These offenders often

return to crime due to continuous discrimination and unfriendly disposition of members of the society. “We believe that ex-offenders that have served term in the prison have received due punishment for their wrongful behaviours and therefore should be forgiven so that the circle of criminality can be broken.” According to the officer in charge of the Dukpa Prison Farm Centre, operated by the FCT Mr Benjamin Jatau, the farm generates about N3million annually to the Federal Government.

Herdsmen: Fayose charges Ekiti hunters to secure state ÏÏÏ

Governor Ayodele Fayose has raised the alarm of imminent invasion of the State by Fulani herdsmen and therefore charged hunters to defend the people against any unforeseen invasion. Fayose also urged the Federal Government to declare the herdsmen terrorists. The governor, who met with hunters from the 16 local government areas of the state, said intelligence reports indicated that some Bororo cattle rearers had swarmed on forest reserves in the state with the intent to cause havoc and make it look like the state’s Anti-Grazing Law was not working. He added that such people would be rendered powerless. Fayose charged the local hunters and others to be proactive and take control of the security of their communities. Fayose, who wore military uniform, declared that he was so dressed so to charge the hunters to protect the state. He said: “I am sympathising with our brothers and sisters from Benue State who are mourning the killing of their people. “We are going to observe a minute silence for the dead.

“I saw pictures of the killings and wondered if the killers were human beings. “They cut people’s necks, arms and they want to wipe away a race and a people who are farmers. “The killers will not know peace. “The Federal Government must protect Nigerians and we are not protected and it is the duty of the government to do so. “They killed first, second and third time and nothing was done to curtail their activities. “It is unfortunate that Governor Samuel Ortom went seeking help where there is none. “Those he is seeking help from in Abuja can’t help themselves. “We have never had it so bad. “People must come to leadership with conscience. “They ought to send Army there, but sent police who are being killed.” Fayose wondered how a cow’s life would be termed more valuable than a human life, recalling that many years back, cattle rearers were not carrying arms and questioned the rationale behind them now bearing sophisticated weap-

ons. Urging President Muhammadu Buhari to declare herdsmen terrorists, Fayose said: “Mr. President, declare herdsmen as terrorists group now, they are mindless and devilish.” He advised Benue State people living in the state to form prayer groups to help their governor and people, saying the governor seemed to be overwhelmed by events unfolding in his state. He mandated the local hunters and other vigilance groups to go out and secure the state and that some dedicated lines would be made public to report any strange movement or person. Charging the hunters who were quite excited to meet him, Fayose said: “I have received letters that the Bororos have entered our reserves they want to violate our laws. I want to call on the attention of the Federal Government that they have come and wanted to kill men and kids and women in Ekiti. We will not allow that to happen. I want you all he hunters to go back today to protect your people, be vigilant, open your eyes, make sure everyone entering our state is screened.

FG orders contractors to show TIN before payment Ganiyu Obaaro

The Federal Government has ordered vendors of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to display their Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) on their invoices before payments are effected by the MDAs. The FG’s directive was handed down on Tuesday in Abuja, by the Honourable Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun to the Accountant General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris. According to a statement signed by the Special Adviser, Media and Communications to the minister, Oluyinka Akintunde and made available to The Daily Times, “The order is part of resolute efforts by the

Government to block revenue leakages by the MDAs’ vendors. About N100 billion has been discovered as tax revenue shortfall by contractors between 2012 and 2017.” Adeosun, in a memo titled: “Compliance with Tax Payments by Federal Government Vendors”, disclosed

that persistent leakages in revenue remittances by vendors had been uncovered by the Government’s Project Lighthouse, a systemwide revenue intelligence data-warehouse. The leakages, according to her, were due to lack of TIN particularly on Value Added Tax (VAT), Withholding Tax (WHT) and other

related inflows into the government coffers. The minister said, “In order to address these lapses in the implementation of the 2017 Budget, as well as boost the revenue accruable to the government, all MDAs should be directed to insist that invoices submitted by vendors for payments must clearly state the TIN. “This is to confirm tax compliance by rel-

evant government vendors before payments are effected.” She added that the directive to the government vendors is in compliance with the provisions of both the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Procurement Acts of 2007 respectively. The minister stated that spot checks would be undertaken on MDAs to confirm compliance with the directive.

Power sector reform will redefine electricity in Nigeria- Fashola Ganiyu Obaaro Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola has said that the new Power Sector Reform Programme already before the Federal Government will soon add greater value to the electricity sector in the country.

The former Lagos State Governor, while speaking on a Channels Television programme on Wednesday, also said the contentious electricity tariff was being addressed.

He said, “Before we can review tariff, we should increase electricity supply; take consumer audit; look at the unit cost of electricity too.” He said as part of his ongoing assessment tour of electricity infrastructure in the country with a view to acquainting himself with happenings in the sector, he has visited critical power installations in Delta, Kogi, and interfaced with stakeholders, pointing out that he was now in a good stead to understand the challenges faced by consumers , generating and distribution companies, who are some of the stakeholders in the sector, with a view to addressing them. “I think, my team and I have

come to realize that we need to pursue metering system, initiate consumer education,” he said. On renewable(solar) energy, Fashola said that his ministry has delivered energy mix for Nigeria, adding: “we have identified some prolific areas for solar energy as North Central part of the country; gas in Niger Delta region; hydro power in the North- Taraba, Geregu(Kogi), Shiroro (Niger); coal in Middle Belt region including Kogi; and in South East area of Enugu State.” The minister also said that he has issued regulations on mini-grid of less than 1MW of electricity in rural communities to enhance rural electrification programme of President

How BDC operators dump CBN’s window for parallel market

Stories by Motolani Oseni

New facts have emerged on how the Bureaux De Change Operators in Nigeria are currently shunning the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN’s) Foreign exchange (forex) market for a more profitable parallel market rate, findings by The Daily Times have revealed. Before now, Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) has several times, called for convergence of margins between the commercial banks and the BDCs rates, as well as requesting for more product lines from the apex bank so as to diversify its members operations and position them on path of profitability. Our further checks, however, showed that the BDCs usually bid at the CBN official window at 360 to the dollar as against 358 that is applicable

to the commercial banks operators in the country, hence, creating low patronage and lost for the BDCS, while quite numbered of them have to close down thier businesses in the recent years. For instance, not less than 1200 BDCs dumped the CBN window on Thursday 4, January, 2018 bidding as only 580 operators bidded in Lagos out of 1700 operators in the business centre of the country. Commenting on this development in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Lagos, ABCON President, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, said that there is a need for the CBN to merge the commercial bank’s and the BDC’s rate because they are selling to commercial banks at 358, and sell to us at 360 while we can buy from the parallel market at 358. He said: “ What we are saying is that they should merge the two rares.

If they can do lower is better but they said, when you want equity you should go with clean hands. So, we are not asking for what is not practicable, because already there is window of 358 that goes to the bank.” Gwadabe stressed further that what the BDCs are asking for is to get give the same rate with the banks because, “We have the same market, we have the same buyer and doing the same product. What they are selling is personal travel allowance and business travel allowance which is the same thing we are selling”, he explained. According to him, “They even have dipper product lines than the BDCs, because they do letter of credit, they do bills for collection, among others. While we are only limited to about four lines. In fact, what we are even writing to the CBN now is to deepen our product lines, diversify our product lines.”

Painting scenarios of how the BDCs can be involved in other product lines, the ABCON boss noted, “for instance, if your child get admission to study abroad and the school fees is $25,000 and may be the tuition is $15,000, both the banks and the BDCs can only sell the tuition, while such customers will have to patronize the parallel market operators for the upkeep of that child. “I think the CBN can give the BDCs to ensure that people that need upkeep of their children the BDC and do their transactions legally instead of patronising the parallel markets. Less than a week now, only 580 accessed the CBN, just because the margin has completely been eroded. He added: “Also, because there are no many product lines, which is more reason why BDCs are patronising the parallel market because it is cheaper and not at a lost.

PTAD, Military Pension Board collaborate on pensioners’ welfare Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

In a continuous effort to improve the welfare of pensioners in Nigeria, the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) and the Military Pension Board (MPB) have strategised on the better ways to ensure enhance their operations. The Executive Secretary of PTAD, Barr. Sharon Ikeazor, while receiving the Military Pension Board management team led by its Chairman, Brig. Gen. Adekunle Adigun Adesope during a courtesy visit to her office on Tuesday, said that improving the welfare of pensioners is the reason for the establishment of the two agencies. Ikeazor pointed out that there was a fierce urgency for stronger partner-

ship between the two pension agencies. She said that part of the collaboration was to “synergize the advocacy efforts of our pension agencies towards ensuring that adequate budgetary allocations are made to defray the outstanding liabilities of all pensioners, Military and Civilian.” The new paradigm being proposed, sought to create additional values that can be leveraged upon to deliver more value in Nigeria’s pension administration to the benefit of the pensioner and ultimately, the Nigerian society, she said. According to the Executive Secretary, there is need for continuous stakeholder engagement in order to broaden and deepen PTAD’S relationship and outreach to its external

stakeholders, especially those with coordinate responsibilities such as the Nigerian Military Pensions Board. The pension administration matrix must be improved to match contemporary initiatives in other parts of the world so that Nigeria’s pensioners also can access additional practical values and deliverables with those described as “senior citizens” in other climes. The PTAD boss said that the Directorate was now enthused in finding new ways in improving the welfare of pensioners in not only the shortterm, but also the long –term. Ikeazor, who harped on the exigency of exchange of information on activities of pension fraudsters and formation of alliance on how to deal

with them, stressed that enrollment of all pensioners into the NHIS would drive down their cost of healthcare. “It is also meant to ensuring the payment of all outstanding pension benefits, especially the arrears of 33% increment and death benefits to NOKs; prompt payment of monthly pensions to all eligible pensioners; and uniform treatment of all pensioners including the War Affected. The issuance of combo cards to all pensioners that will serve both as discount cards and means of establishing the Proof of Life. I commend the leadership of the Military Pensions Board in that initiative; and the exchange of ideas and technology towards improving operational efficiency,” she added. Earlier in his response, the Chair-

man of the Military Pension Board, Brig. Gen. Adesope commended the Executive Secretary of PTAD for the innovation she has brought to bear in the pension administration. He said that the objective of the visit was to exchange ideas on the best approach to improve the welfare of pensioners in the country. Adesope said that the MPB would henceforth provide the modalities to ensuring that their pensioners are adequately catered for during verification exercise with refreshments. However, the MPB Chairman lamented the increasing cost of pension saying, “If I have my way, every month before I pay, I will make sure I do verification to ensure adequate and proper payment.”

Save banks from collapse

he excruciating recession has come and gone, but the ill effects are still biting hard on the citizenry and businesses across the country. One of the businesses that felt the bad side of the recession were the deposit money banks. At the onset of the recession the economy contracted, many businesses and individuals were badly affected as many of them who took loans from their banks prior and during therecession were unable to service such loans as at when due despite repeated demands for them to pay back. Following the huge toxic assets they are carrying in their books, many commercial banks in the country are said to be increasingly finding it very challenging to cope with the difficult operating environment. Consequently, many of the banks are now carrying high non-performing loans which they must provide for in their books, thus limiting the quantum of loans they can grant to new customers and reducing their performance in the operating year. Newspaper reports also indicate that the deposit money banks accumulated as much as N230.6 billion non performing loans in the first six month of this year alone. Such non performing assets may increase to a point that would make the banks unsalvageable if urgent efforts are not made by the government and the regulatory authority to safe the banks from going under. More than 50% of the Deposit Money Banks are said to

be in serious financial problems and if the problems persist, the spectre of failure would confront the banks. The failure of banks also affects the health of the economy as many businesses will go down with it, while the economy may relapse into recession again. Now that the country is out of recession, a salvaging effort should be put in place to safe the banking institutions from imminent danger of going under. In doing this the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) would need to first reassure the nation of the safety and soundness of deposit money banks. Then, the CBN and the NDIC should carry out a proper audit of the banks to establish their level of healthiness and determine the appropriate measures needed to take them out of the problem. Some of them may want to increase their capitalisation by going to the capital market to raise money; unfortunately a time like this may not be an appropriate time to raise such money as most investors and their businesses are yet to shake off the shackles of recession. In the alternative, the banks would need some accommodation from the CBN to keep their books in good shape and be able to perform optimally. Such accommodation should be for about twelve to eighteen months after which they must pay back such money to the CBN. Such a rescue effort should also be keyed in to the economic recovery and growth plan of the government so that the country can achieve increased growth and development once again.

Is eradication of corruption the motivating object of the on-going war? (1)

T Prof. Ben Nwabueze

he object of the war against corruption, in which successive governments in the country profess themselves to be engaged, needs to be clearly stated and constantly borne in mind. The Constitution is unequivocal that the object is the eradication or abolition of “all corrupt practices and abuse of office.” Accordingly, a duty is laid on government, federal and state, to do so, i.e. to “abolish all corrupt practice and abuse of office” : section 15(5). What, then, does the duty thus laid on government require of it? The Rt Rev Matthew Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, answers the question thus: The battle against corruption, he said, “is not so much going to be won by how many investigations and probes we conduct. It will not be won by how many people go to jail.” Nor will it be won by how much money is recovered from the looters of our common wealth. Corruption has to be fought in the minds and hearts of people, with a view to bringing about a change in their attitudes towards it, “a change in the Nigerian psyche.” This is not, however, to say that the anti-corruption war should be discontinued or that the corruption probes should be abandoned. They must continue with increased vigour. It only means that the eradication of corruption and the cleansing of the pervasive rottenness in our society, of which corruption is a manifestation, call for a social and ethical revolution, which in turn calls for an effective mobilisation of the people for the purpose. Effective mobilisation of the people for a cause, a worthy cause of course, is one of the most ardu-

ous tasks of political leadership. It requires, as leader, a president with the energy of youth, an energy that will enable him to move round the country and meet with the people in their various communities, at town hall gatherings and other fora, down to the grassroots, and address them on the imperative necessity for change in their attitudes and mindset, and the need for patriotism generally. I think that at 75 a person, man or woman, whoever he or she may be, no longer possesses the sort of energy required for the purpose. For nearly three years since his installation in office on 29 May, 2015, President Buhari has not embarked on such mobilisation exercise apparently because his advanced age (75) does not enable him to do so and partly because he appears not to have the necessary inclination or disposition. The reason of advanced age needs to be remedied by prescribing in the Constitution an upper age limit for a president, as is done in some countries of the world, and as is done for nonelective public officials. A social and ethical revolution is needed not only to rid the country of the cankerworm of corruption, but also to launch it upon a New Beginning, a new socio-political order, a more or less clean slate, unsmeared by the rottenness that presently pervades the society. A “change in the Nigerian psyche” is a radical change that requires a social and ethical revolution to bring it about. The growing public cynicism about the sincerity of President Buhari as an uncompromising spear-head of a crusade against corruption Given that President Buhari

was initially acclaimed, hailed and idolised by the people as an uncompromising spear-head of a crusade against corruption – taking crusade to mean, not just a war, but a war fought with great passion and zeal – it is significant that, in less than two years, the acclaim is giving way to cynicism about the President’s sincerity in the prosecution of the war. Is he really the uncompromising crusader that the public had been led to believe? There is reason to suppose that the public cynicism is the by-product of the President’s Northernisation Agenda, as it is being carried into effect by his lopsided strategic appointments which are so manifestly skewed in favour of the North and against the South. Viewed from the standpoint of the war against corruption, it is significant that all the key officials involved, even if it be indirectly, in the prosecution of the war are northerners appointed by President Buhari since his inauguration as President on 29 May, 2015. A list of such appointees shows this assertion to be an incontrovertible fact. (i) Babachir Lawal, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF); appointed in preference to a hotly tipped candidate from the South-East; after his removal following allegation of diversion of funds meant for persons displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East, he was replaced by another northerner, Boss Mustapha, again in preference to a rumoured candidate from the SouthEast. (ii) Maj-General Babagana Monguno (rtd), National Security Adviser (NSA), replacing Dasuki, NSA under former President Good-

luck Jonathan. (iii) Alhaji Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to the President, replacing Brig-Gen Jones Oladehinde (rtd), the holder of the office under former President Goodluck Jonathan. (iv) Ibrahim Idris, InspectorGeneral of Police (IGP) appointed over the heads of some Southern officers senior to him. The IGP is heading a Police Force, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), in which 15 out of the 22 Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIG), who exercise much of the function of the operational control of the Force, are northerners, while 3 are from the South-West and 2 from the SouthEast. These blatantly lopsided appointments, all of which were made since the inception of the Buhari Administration, portray the NPF as an army of occupation deliberately designed to carry into effect President Buhari’s Northernisation Aganda in furtherance of the dream of the Sardauna to reduce the South to “a conquered territory and thereby prevented from having control over its future”. The President’s implacable opposition to re-structuring which envisages the establishment of State Police should not, therefore, surprise us. He wants to be able to continue to exercise control over the internal security of the Southern States and to continue to hold them hostage. It caricatures true federalism that a constituent State in a Federation should be under the control and yoke of the Federal Government in the matter of its internal security. To be continued tomorrow. Professor Ben Nwabueze (SAN) is a renowned jurist and foremost constitutional lawyer.

Nigeria coming out from conspiracy of silence: The case of Innoson, EFCC and GTB

Livinus Ukah

e have reached a stage where we cannot put people in one box and conclude that, that it is the way it should be. Ideas are working in the global world where people are on the same wave length of thoughts in ideology and development. If we want to move fast with the world, we must be what we are now with the push back of Magu’s deviant way of discouraging economic development. It is a sad story for Magu to enter into a territory that is not within his operational jurisdiction. It could be that he had a hidden agenda to destroy what could bring economic synergy to Nigerian populace. Could it be that it is a vendetta against a political zone that he wants to be dead forever without knowing that what he did was affecting the whole Nigeria and not his perceived enemy? At this time when everybody is crying to high heavens for a better economic condition, he comes to distort the economic equilibrium of an Industrialist who meant well to help his country. Does it mean that he has a simplistic view of what Nigerians want now? Can we say that Magu is there just because of his boss? This is because the Senate has rejected his appointment but his boss refused to listen to what the enlightened masses were

saying about this political errand boy. Do we say that his sins were absolved by his boss? At this age of global economic competition, will Nigeria continue to sink below and reject what will profit the masses due to selfish political or regional interests? Donald Trump said “Economic security is a National security”. Look at what China went through before being where she is now. China and America are running neck to neck in the world economy. Will Nigerian economy continue to be in a state of flux? Can politics survive without economic sustainability? Sometimes we get people who are naïve, derogatory, insular, and petty in governance. The problem of Nigerian politics is big players in Nigerian politics who feel that they are anointed and that they are politically infallible and they can use someone to create a disorder in Nigerian economy. Can we say that what Magu is doing is a mere political calculation with a hidden motive? Is it to create tension in an already heated polity? When will Nigeria come out with one voice to tackle the political nemesis haunting all of us since the military regimes? Nelson Mandela once said that the tragedy of Nigerian situation is that there is nobody good enough to substitute Abacha. Up till now, Nigeria is still looking for a political messiah to calm their economic nerves and bring them to participate in world global competition.

Nigeria is still looking for a voice; the voice that will heal the people that will make Nigeria relevant in the international fora, the voice that will not make the international leaders see the so called voice that represents Nigeria, with a skeptical smile especially when it is not a par with the global view of things. Nigeria does not need somebody who will just add to the numbers of international leaders but match the quality of other reputable international leaders who mean well for their citizens. Nigeria needs leaders who will make positive international headlines but not local. It is Nigeria that will liberate herself by working on her ethnic bigotries, Proper political education and not backing people who come only from their own ethnic lineage, but men of integrity and lovers of their father land and not men of political greed. At this very time that Nigeria is trying to have a sense of optimism because politics has shattered our hopes. We have experienced hell and what have you. What Magu is trying to introduce, is it a terrorist thought that brings political divisiveness or a thought that would bring a rapid growth in Nigerian economy? The Industrialist Innocent Chukwuma; the CEO of Innonson Group of Companies was indiscriminately arrested by EFCC headed by Magu without showing no regards for his economic positivity and contributions to Nigerian economy. Though he was said to have issues with a bank

which is purely civil and does not warrant EFFC involvement but just playing out a political script Magu delved into what he has no skill in but now he has received backlashes from prominent Nigerians beginning from the Senate with Ike Ekwerenmadu damning the consequences, condemned the dubious action of Magu. Many from the North and west condemned the act that would bring divisiveness in Nigerian Polity and discourage those who wish to come up and help their father land. With Innonson being the first indigenous car manufacturer, creating over 50,000 jobs for the citizens, he should be encouraged without making him loose credibility in the eyes of his international business partners. Though a statement alleging a fraudulent transaction in the Stock Exchange has been released but no one knows whether it is a sabotage ploy. Even if he owes a bank, do other business men and even politicians not owe banks? So banks are part of Nigerian problems. Many foreign business tycoons including the indigenous ones have folded up because of injustices from the banks. Very Rev.

15 Column

2017: Diary of a columnist (II)

Times Columnist MOHAMMED ADAMU

‘

“The law suffers a form of juristic injustice in the hands of conservative judges who impose on themselves ‘incapacity’ to navigate the labyrinth of the legal system in order to arrive at justice. But it can even be worse in the hands of ‘liberal’ judges who leave it prostrate at the foothill of unconscionable scavenging lawyers. Without necessarily being conservative, liberal or radical in their judicial world view, most Nigerian judges have this uncanny ability, always to arrive at ‘unjust’ decisions! (They) are either constrained by ‘illiberal provisions’ of the law to wrought injustice or they are overwhelmed equally by ‘liberal provisions’ still, to arrive at injustice. Head or tail what we get always is ‘judgment’ without ‘justice’.

’

“

Continued from last week IGNOBLE LAUREL …it was at the Prague Conference that I first heard the phrase ‘grand corruption’, symbolizing perhaps a malignant stage of corruption from which it is said that a dangerous alliance can happen between humongouslycorrupt politicians and organized business crime groups with the inevitable result that a nation is perpetually held to ransom -as we see in many parts of Latin America. Yet it was on this subject of ‘grand corruption’ that another moment for Nigeria came up again at the conference; this time alongside Russia. The two countries were singled out for special mention as destinations where corruption had reached ‘grand’ level and that therefore the threat –in these countries- of the emergence of power groups stronger than government was not only likely, it was nigh and nigh”. –From ‘GRAND CORRUPTION’ 04/20/17 IN DEFENSE OF THE OFFENDING PARTY “And as if merely being in an insensately thieving and retrogressive PDP was not ideologically de-flowering enough for a man of the caliber of Lamido, -hitherto respected as one of the ‘last few men standing’ for the NEPU/PRP legacy, my friend Sule was to become even more catholic than the Pope in his defense of the so called ‘fortunes’ of PDP -a political party whose retrogressive ways were the exact antitheses of the principles that Lamido once proudly represented, and personified.” –From ‘WHAT DOES LAMIDO WANT?’ 04/27/17 JONATHAN, OUR RASPUTIN “In the days of his Acting Presidency up to the early period of his Presidency, Jonathan was still an innocent tail wagged by these medley of uninspiring attributes; until the hawks and the hyenas of his political party suddenly began to discover the silver lining inherent in the Jonathan style of profligate, Father-Christmas kind of attitude to governance. And when every covetous knee in PDP shamelessly began to bow before Jonathan’s imprudent munificence, and when they pretentiously began to eulogize the ‘heroics’ of a grossly underperforming Jonathan, it was then that the man lost his rustic, Otuoke innocence, and suddenly gained the manipulative Rasputin image of an outwardly-benevolent ‘divine’ but who was always sneakily in pursuit of the politically devious. It was at this point that we began to see a Machiavellic Jonathan who would have no qualms projecting the desperate idea that ‘A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.” From ‘THE JONATHAN WE CREATED -05/11/17’ COMPETING FOR THE SKIES “And sometimes that is just the problem with the weddings, especially of the ‘insanely rich’ and the ‘superbly powerful’. Like a gathering of giraffes, they tend always to attract too many tall egos that end up neck-sizing as they compete for the skies. And no matter how longnecked or short-necked they come, in events like that, every giraffe is bound to meet its match, or even its better. And so, sometimes those who can’t humbly hang their low

Onnoghen (CJN) necks beneath the shadows of longer ones, simply come early, brandish their ‘impala necks’ to be sure they are not counted ‘absent’, and then run. Or as the Yorubas would say, tuule!” –From ‘IBB: THE RICH ALSO WED – 05/18/17’ HYPOCRISY “Someone posted on Face book a hypothetical scenario: he wanted to know what his Facebook friends would do if they came upon a cache of millions of dollars in some derelict graveyard, a rundown soak-away or any of the ubiquitous hide-always that have bizarrely come to symbolize the search for looted funds in Nigeria today. Would they blow the whistle and be content with a ‘meager’ five percent, or would they –if they could get away with it- rather keep all? And nearly seventy percent of those who responded said ‘to hell with 5%!’ They’ll rather keep every dime of it. One said -with some kind of righteous indignation- “Me, blow whistle ke? I be referee?” And you wonder what kind of people we are, Nigerians? We are offended by corruption but only because it is not us or our own that have the opportunity to perpetrate it. We are disgusted by obscene wealth but only because it does not belong to us or to someone that we are beneficially connected with.” –‘ HOW PATRIOTIC IS THE WHISTLE BLOWER? -05/25/17’ TRUE RECOGNITION “A day should long have been set aside to commemorate this great man; not a university’s hard-earned name mangled to mock him!...For a man whose martyrdom watered the tree of the democracy that we enjoy today, true recognition consist only in declaring him President-elect posthumously –which will only be reaffirming that which he was, baring the annulment. And then also to substitute ‘May 29’ with ‘June 12’ –which again will not be a gratuity because it will merely recognize the date for what truly it is worth. Then and only then will the anger of the democratic gods be assuaged, and the unsettled spirit of the late MKO properly reposed.” –‘ OF JUNE 12 AND MAY 29 -06/01/17’ NO ABSOLUTES “In any case, it is common knowledge that most sovereign states do not recognize the right to self-determination through secession in their constitutions. In fact many constitutions expressly forbid it. By the way in liberal constitutional democracies it appears the principle of ‘majority rule’ effectively subsumes the right to secession; such that the Supreme Court of the United States held that secession could occur only “through revolution, or through consent of the States” –a majority of them. And which brings us to the unpalatable conclusion that there is no absolutism in the gratuity of ‘selfdetermination’ by means of secession.

Self-determination is a gift to the few by the many -in peace, or a costly ‘apple of discord’ to be won or lost -in pieces!” –‘ BIAFRA: IN PEACE OR IN PIECES -06/08/17’ IRONING THE CREASES “The law suffers a form of juristic injustice in the hands of conservative judges who impose on themselves ‘incapacity’ to navigate the labyrinth of the legal system in order to arrive at justice. But it can even be worse in the hands of ‘liberal’ judges who leave it prostrate at the foothill of unconscionable scavenging lawyers. Without necessarily being conservative, liberal or radical in their judicial world view, most Nigerian judges have this uncanny ability, always to arrive at ‘unjust’ decisions! (They) are either constrained by ‘illiberal provisions’ of the law to wrought injustice or they are overwhelmed equally by ‘liberal provisions’ still, to arrive at injustice. Head or tail what we get always is ‘judgment’ without ‘justice’… The idea that the ‘hands’ of a judge are ‘tied’ by ‘unjust provisions’ of ‘law’ so that he can only rule in a manner that does not achieve ‘justice’ is lame, escapist and untenable… if the ‘law’ contains impurities which do not conduce to the attainment of justice, it behooves a judge not to surrender to those impurities but to ‘interpret’, ‘construe’ or ‘construct’ the law until it works justice. Said Lord Denning, although a “Judge must not alter the material of which (the law) is woven”, yet “he can and should iron out the creases”. –From ‘JUDGMENT WITHOUT JUSTICE -06/22/17’ NEITHER HERE NOR THERE “How much less of a ‘federation’ any country can allegedly be said to be merely because it exudes partial ‘unitary’ attributes or because such country is unable to transit from ‘power and resource’-sharing to the granting of ‘substantial autonomy’ to its constituent parts, is a matter more for the contemplation of political science than it is for the consideration of constitutional law. And so the term ‘true federalism’ essentially is a misnomer, whether it is applied strictly in decrying a nation that ‘shares power and resources’ rather than grant ‘substantial autonomy’, or it is applied trivially in the condemnation of a ‘federation’ that still exhibit unitary attributes. Nigeria is not any less a ‘federal system’ than any of the world renowned practitioners of it. It is fundamentally wrong to suggest that a system is not a ‘true federation’ because its two levels of governmental administration are not ‘coordinate and independent’ politically or economically; or that because the extent of the autonomy of the federating units over certain basic issues like resource control, tax administration, security are not profound or absolute.” –‘ MUCH ADO ABOUT ‘TRUE FEDER-

ALISM’ -07/06/17’ HIS WIT, HIS WISDOM “Maitama Sule was not a man of idle epigrams. He weighed his every word. He spoke the English language as effortlessly as he spoke his mother tongue. And although he was not a man of clichés or catchphrases, he spoke with aesthetic resonance and with reasoned alliteration. His usually long-drown but enchanting oratory, had always proved the masters wrong, who say that ‘brevity is the soul of wit’. Brevity was not the soul of Maitama’s kind of ‘wit. The hallmark of his usually extempore speeches was length and repetition. Yet his asset was more his ‘wisdom’ than it was his ‘wit’. For, whereas wit, as they say ‘is quick, sharp and laughable, wisdom is ‘calm, composed and sober’. And whereas wit ‘is the gurgling mountain stream plunging over a jagged waterfall’, wisdom ‘is the serene’ sea abiding in quiet solitude. Wit is the ‘language of the jester’ where ‘wisdom’ is the language of the sage’. And although Maitama was master of all, it cannot be denied that he breathed ‘wisdom’ into every sphere of our national lives.” –‘ STILL ON MAITAMA -07/20/17’ POLITICS OF HEALTH “And the question is asked, ‘when exactly can the President be said to be ‘incapable’ of discharging the functions of his office? Is it when a ‘sick’ –or maybe even healthy- President, for whatever reason, feels himself incapable of discharging the functions of his office; or is it when a cynical, or maybe even genuinely critical public, believes, rightly or wrongly, that the President is ‘incapable of discharging the functions of his office? Or is it only when medical diagnosis confirms that the President is ‘incapable of discharging the functions of his office’?” –‘ ON BUHARI: ‘SICKNESS’ AS CONSTITUTIONAL OFFENCE -07/27/17’ GOING ULTRAVIRES “When you cut too many corners in making a ‘square’, they say you can only end up with a ‘circle’. The NASS, although it is empowered to ‘make’, ‘amend’ or ‘abrogate’ laws, it is not so empowered, by mere quorum-regulated sittings, to legislate to ‘annul’ the Constitution or by the mere adoption of two-thirds majority, to vote to give to ‘the people’ a brand new one. It trivializes the sacredness of the whole idea of ‘constitution-making’; that a few people by the incidence merely of having been elected to parliament, routinely to make, amend or abrogate laws for the order and good governance of the nation, should now arrogate the power to transform into a ‘constituent assembly’ with a fresh mandate radically to alter the system.” –‘ A ‘RE-MAKE’, NOT AN AMENDMENT -08/03/17’ THE DOG WAGS THE TAIL “Call it dictatorship of the majority. Or the despotism of the ‘many’ over the contrived subservience of the ‘few’. It is not necessarily in the merit of its choice or in the morality of its position that the majority is entitled to ride roughshod over the minority, it is merely in the greatness of its number that a ‘right’ accrues to it legitimately to oppress the minority. But does it not make even moral sense to suggest that the ‘many’ alone should have a right to decide the fate of the ‘few’ and not the other way? To the dog is a natural right to wag its tail, and to the tail is a duty to be wagged. For, as the British philosopher A. N. Whitehead asks rhetorically “What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like”…. The minority is a ‘tail’ in the democratic enterprise. It is not equipped to wag the dog. Said Edmund Burke “Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent.... do not imagine that those who make noise are the only inhabitants of the field.” –‘ IS THE MAJORITY ALWAYS RIGHT? -08/24/17’ To be concluded

‘Need to protect consumers from price manipulation’ Stories by Godwin Anyebe The behavioural pattern exhibited by some operators of distributive trade antithetic to established rule guiding product pricing at the various stages of product distribution, till the point of retailing has become a source for concern. In all, trade price influence is given to manipulation so much so that same product would sell at different prices at different places, from time to time RRP is that particular price at which product manufacturers decide their products should sell at the final retail point of purchase. It is a rule as well as advisory; it is instructive

and acts as a guide for consumer-trade exchange at the market place. RRPs are derived from the totality of the costs invested in the production of any particular product, plus profit margin. It is recommended because at the point such prices are determined; all costs are taken care of, interestingly inclusive of the margin due to the entire trade till the point of retail purchase. Daily Times checks also confirm that, RRPs are an expression of trade support mechanism operative as a competitive tool; it could be to drive up sales in form of consumer attraction (affordability) or to curtail fraudulent trade practice, to protect consumers against

trade’s price manipulation. It could also be implemented to curb artificial scarcity. RRP can also serve as market stabilisation instrument in a situation where the strength of a brand and its market acceptance tempt trade to aggressively amplify the tendencies to optimise profit, in disruption of the product’s personality. In this case, such products stand the risk of losing consumers’ confidence and shelf off-take, endangering its market performance. When this threat is imminent, brand managers are wont to activate RRP to protect such brand against consumers’ odium and strengthen its competitiveness. Speaking on this issue, a brand management consul-

tant, Bernard Okhakume told Daily Times that, “the RRP with all its promises and influence has come under total disregard, with the direct consequence on consumers. In the years proceeding year 2000, RRPs are held sacrosanct. Brands invest huge sums of money to communicate RRP for it is worth; when such are determined are communicated, it sends signals to all stakeholders, driving warning signal to all, because it is a classical response to identified inconsistency along the chain of distribution. “It is a common knowledge that distributive trade chain is open to price manipulations in order to optimise profit (especially in the fast-moving-consumer-

goods segment. Commonly referred to as ‘penny-market’, brands in the FMCG category sell at small prices, whereas, investment outlay at the entry point for big bulk breaking is very huge. Down the line, trade investors earn ‘pennies’ for their huge investment. Interestingly, however, the attraction is in the big volume and speed of shelf off-take that makes for the small value of earning build-up. According to him, “there is a temptation, among some operators; the tendency is to manipulate the recommended price at any point of the distributive process, for profit optimisation. For many reasons, some of which are mentioned above, manufacturers are charged with the responsibility of price monitoring and regulation, by keenly regulating activities of trade.” Sadly, he continued, “growing commerce is gradually being tainted with so much manufacturer-trade indiscipline that price manipulation is threatening consumer rights protection. From mobile phones airtime purchase through carbonated drink market to food seasoning, price manipulation is evident; there are many cases of same product and size selling at different prices from one place of purchase to another.” Recently a mobile telephone service provider became notorious for trade-induced marginal retail cost, borne by its subscribers. It was so bad that the brand attempted an awareness campaign which achieved next to nothing, because of its evidently limited scope and its ineffective strategic support. As mentioned earlier, it

is even not enough to communicate RRP if such consumer information is not backed by trade monitoring and sanction. Without the corporate monitoring/ policing for sanction, concerned brands tend to paint the impression of either complacency or collaboration. Also speaking on this issue, Brand and marketing analyst, Samuel Ajayi said;” consumers must be protected against price manipulation by the trade. Traders must live up to their responsibilities to manufacturers and consumers in their business dealings. Of course, there is a challenged by economic downtime, and so it is only fair that rules of trade-consumer engagements be adhered to. Brands/ manufacturers must step up to their responsibilities; consumers must be protected against abuses in form of price manipulations. According to him, trade Descriptions Act prohibits “misleading indications on the price of goods”, terming them collectively as “illegal trade practices.” Consumers must learn to take advantage of this Act to drive self-protection; anywhere they notice price manipulation, especially when such retail prices are higher than recommended, they should report to authorities, better still the Consumers Protection Council (CPC), using any of our media platforms. Retail price manipulation is unacceptable and all stakeholders, especially brand owners must make the deliberate effort to inform consumers, monitor trade and enforce compliance among trade…for consumers’ interest.

CEO of the Year - Nnamdi Okonkwo

ÏÏÏ When the history of

Nigeria’s highly competitive banking industry is written, one bank whose place in history cannot be glossed over is Fidelity Bank Plc. The entry of Fidelity as it is popularly called by its numerous customers both in Nigeria and elsewhere across the world, though gradual, has grown like the oak tree, stamping its unique authority and statement on the Nigerian, business (banking) terrain. With a chain of branch networks spread across the country, Fidelity has today emerged as one of investors’ brides- emerging to its ecstatic stakeholders and an envy of its peers. Indeed, the human factor played a key role in its recent growth. The emergence of the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, who, with a strong finance background combined this potential to effectively manage the bank’s human and material resources together, attest to this giant stride. Okonkwo is being assisted by equally highly cerebral and professional top shot, like Muhammed Balarade, Deputy Managing Director, among others. Today, the young man, in spite of the vicissitude of life he had faced in the course of this tasking job, is popularly described as a banking wizard. Okonkwo is not one to be carried away by his long list of achievements. He remained committed to growing the bank, its customer base, bouquet of products offering and its customer base. He knows he is in a race to win when he was appointed as the helmsman of the bank. As an uncommon gogetter, observers can say confidently that he has redefined Nigerian banking industry. Yet, he remained undaunted. A peep into Fidelity Bank’s inroad into the Nigerian banking sector will suffice here. Fidelity Bank, also known as Fidelity Bank Plc., is a commercial bank in Nigeria. It is licensed as a commercial bank by the Central Bank of Nigeria, and national banking regulator. In 2011, the bank was ranked the 7th most capitalized bank in Nigeria, the 25th most capitalized bank on the African continent. As of December 2013,

Fidelity Bank Plc. was a large financial services provider in Nigeria with total assets estimated at over US$6.318billion (NGN:1+ trillion), and shareholders’ equity in excess of US$1 billion (NGN:158 billion). This has since increased. At that time, the bank served 2.3 million customers at about 239 business offices nationally. The bank currently has over 400,000 diverse shareholders. It was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in May 2005 and has consistently paid dividends annually since its listing. As of June 2016, according to BGL Plc, Fidelity Bank Plc had a market capitalisation of NGN:37,072,109,685.76. Fidelity Bank of Nigeria was incorporated in 1987; and began its operations in 1988. The bank converted to a commercial bank in the year 1999 in an attempt to grow, as a private limited company and became a Public Limited Company also in August, 1999. It rebranded to Fidelity Bank Plc that year. It secured its Universal Banking License in February 2001 and also obtained its International Banking Licence in the year 2011. Fidelity Bank of Nigeria has grown to a stable banking institution. During the 2005 Nigeria Banking consolidation, Fidelity Bank acquired FSB International Bank Plc (FSB) and Manny Bank Plc to become one of the top financially stabled banks in Nigeria. Fidelity Bank currently has presence in all the states and major cities in Nigeria. Over the years, the bank has been reputed for its financial stability. Fidelity continues to rank among Nigeria’s most capitalized banks, with tier-one capital of nearly USD1 billion (One Billion US Dollars). The bank maintains a large network of interconnected branches in all Nigerian states and major cities in Nigeria. It has a wholly owned bank subsidiary in Ghana. Fidelity Bank actively has imbibed its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a core function of its banking services. It established the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme, where its area of focus is education, the environment and the health and social welfare. It has over the years actively engaged and supported through its CSR, activities aimed at improving its area of focus through the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme.

He knows he is in a race to win when he was appointed as the helmsman of the bank. As an uncommon go-getter, observers can say confidently that he has redefined Nigerian banking industry. Yet, he remained undaunted.

’

RƊ ƊƓ The bank is today ranked amongst the top 10 in the Nigerian banking industry, with presence in the major cities and commercial centres of Nigeria. Over the years, the bank has been reputed for integrity and professionalism. It is also respected for the quality and stability of its management. Fidelity staff are also respected in the Nigerian banking industry for the quality of training they receive on the job, as well as in good business schools both in Nigeria and Overseas. The Management is particular about the quality of people that join the system. To qualify as a member of Team Fidelity, a candidate is expected to possess three vital statistics, with the acronym TAC: Talent (an innate mental aptitude), Ambition (a desire to succeed); Character (a total quality of integrity which will guide the talent and ambition to productive ends). The Management is focused on building and maintaining a virile and well-respected brand that caters to the needs of its growing corporate, commercial and consumer banking clientele. For this purpose, the bank is leveraging its pedigree in investment banking (Fidelity was a merchant bank for 11 years) and its structures and service offerings for a retail populace.

Fidelity Bank also enjoys the respect and partnership of a network of off-shore institutions with which it has correspondent banking, confirmation lines, credit and other relationships. These include, ANZ London, Afreximbank, Cairo, Egypt, ABSA South Africa, Commerce Bank, Frankfurt, Citibank, N.A. London and New York, FBN Bank, UK Ltd, SCB, London, US Ex-im Bank, USAID, etc. Only recently, Okonkwo’s Midas touch in Fidelity saw it being honoured at the nation’s capital market Foe example, in November last year, Fidelity Bank Plc emerged the best performing stock in percentage terms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). In fact data sourced from the NSE for the period under review showed that the stock increased by 35.53 per cent to close at N2.06 per share in contrast with the month’s opening price of N1.52. As part of its robust strategy to remain competitive, the bank’s bouquet of promos came to its rescue. For example, as part of deliberate efforts to change the face of service and create total customer experience in the financial services industry, Fidelity Bank has deployed a ground- breaking and

innovative solution for the collection of internally generated revenue (IGR) in Lagos State. Working in conjunction with the Lagos State Government, Fidelity Bank developed the tax collection/payment solution via its Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) channel (*770#). The solution, which is first of its kind in the industry, is in response to some of the challenges faced in making tax payments and remittances to Lagos State Government. Fidelity Bank has, over the years, positioned itself as a key player in the Nigeria’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) across Federal and State mandates. The Bank successfully deployed easy and convenient payment solutions in Anambra, Abia, Imo, Kano and Sokoto states through Point of Sale (PoS) Terminal Tax Collections, Automated Electronic Motor Vehicle Licence, Land Registry Automation Processes and web payment platforms. Again , through its well known promo, Get Alert in Millions reloaded, the bank has continued to soar in operations and performance. Fidelity Bank Plc splashed N19million to 13 of its customers in the second monthly draw of “Get Alert in Million Reloaded” promo in various regions

of the country. Okonkwo, the bank’s managing director, speaking at the promo draw in Lagos, said the initiative was the seventh in the series of promos organised by the bank to reward customers for their unflinching loyalty and patronage. Okonkwo said the promo tagged ‘Get Alert In Millions Promo Reloaded’ was in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN’s) financial inclusion policy. He said the promotion was introduced to raise requisite awareness on the need for Nigerians to imbibe savings culture. The bank also has a collection of awards to its credit. Fidelity is a full-fledged commercial bank operating in Nigeria with over 3.8 million customers who are serviced across its 240 offices and various digital banking channels. The bank is focused on select niche corporate banking sectors, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and is rapidly implementing a digital based retail banking strategy which has resulted in the following over the last three and half years; a 93 per cent growth in savings deposits, 50 percent customer enrollment on debit cards and 30 percent of its customers now using its flagship mobile/internet banking products. Fidelity Bank recently released its Audited H1 2017 results, which showed a remarkable improvement on all indices with Gross Earnings increasing by 22 percent to N86billion, Expenses declining by 2 per cent to N31 billion and Profit Before Tax (PBT) increasing by 67 percent to N10bn. All these are the result of disciplined execution of the bank’s mid-term strategy. No doubt, for Fidelity Bank, the sky is the beginning of its continuous record performance.

Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar

Ï The dynamic royal father with distinction ÏÏÏ Sultan Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar

III is the 20th Sultan of Sokoto, the titular ruler of Sokoto in northern Nigeria, head of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (Society for the Support of Islam - JNI), and presidentgeneral of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).As Sultan of Sokoto, he is considered the spiritual leader of Nigeria’s seventy-million Muslims, roughly 50 percent of the nation’s population. Sa’ad Abubakar succeeded his brother, Muhammadu Maccido, who died on ADC Airlines Flight 53, the flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and had been destined for Sokoto. Sa’ad Abubakar is a younger son of the 17th Sultan, Siddiq Abu Bakar dan Usuman, who held the Sultanate for over 50 years. Abubakar is the fifth heir to the two century-old throne founded by his ancestor, Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio (1754-1817), leader of the Maliki school of Islam and the Qadiri branch of Sufism. The royal father attended the prestigious Barewa College, Zaria and proceeded to the Nigerian Defence Academy in 1975 where he was a member of the 18th Regular Course. Abubakar was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1977 and served in the elite Armoured Corps. Abubakar holds important administrative influence in Nigerian religious life. He is the titular ruler of Sokoto in northern Nigeria and is also the head of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. Leadership of this council means that the Sultan of Sokoto remains the only figure that can legitimately claim to speak on behalf of all Nigerian Muslims. This role has become increasingly influential over the years with a rise in interreligious tensions in the country. Sultan Abubakar is one northern leader highly referred for patriotism and oneness of Nigeria devoid of ethnic, tribal or religious colouration. To him, religious tolerance among Nigerians remain the key

Sa’ad Abubakar role of the sultanate because in doing so, other issues like ethnicity and politics will steadily addressed. Former American Secretary of States, John Kerry, during a visit to the Caliphate on August 22, 2016 commended the Sultan for not only preaching religious tolerance but demonstrating it among his followers. He said that the US Government would always be ready to give its support to the Sultan in his various moves to ensure reli-

gious tolerance in the country. Kerry said that the Sultanate Council was building a community of tolerance for peace progress and political stability in Nigeria. According to him, the United States would work with the sultanate to strengthen religious harmony and knowledge. To him, the Nigerian military has done well in subduing terrorism, adding that , “US will continue to identify with the role played by the sultan.”

Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar promised that he would not relent in promoting religious tolerance to ensure that the county is politically and economically stable. The Sultan totally condemned terrorism and insurgency as anathema to the teachings and practice of Islam. He said that those who shout, “Allah” while killing people will end up on hell. The monarch said anybody who killed in the name of Islam was not a true Muslim because the religion frowns at such act. He said: “We cannot restore the dignity of man by killing innocent people. The herdsmen killing people are criminals and not Fulani herdsmen. Anybody who kills people while shouting Allah, is a terrorist and not a true Muslim and will go to hell. Allah hates people who kill and says they will go to hell.”He sees education as a veritable tool for human development as it promotes unity, peace and economy. He said: “A country that takes education serious tends to develop healthier and happier. Education is light and means to restore dignity of man while ignorance is darkness. Education will continue to be a veritable tool for human and societal development.” The royal father headed a presidential security unit of the Armoured Corps that guarded the then military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, in the late 1980s. Abubakar also commanded a battalion of African peacekeepers in Chad during the early 1980s as part of the Organisation of African Unity’s force and was military liaison officer for the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in the mid-1990s. He was appointed Commanding Officer 241 Recce Battalion, Kaduna in 1993. From 1995 to 1999, he was ECOWAS military liaison officer and commanding officer, 231 Tank Battalion (ECOMOG Operations) in Sierra Leone from 1999 to 2000. From 2003 to 2006, he served as Defence Attaché to Pakistan (also accredited for Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan). He later retired as a Brigadier General.

Prince Tony Momoh

ÏÏÏ

He was born 27th April, 1939 is a Nigerian journalist and politician who was Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture (1986–1990) during the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida Momoh was born in Auchi, Edo State, of Edo origin. He was the 165th child of King Momoh I of Auchi. He attended Government School, Auchi (1949–1954) and Anglican School Okpe, 1954. Momoh was Pupil Teacher at the Anglican School, Auchi (January– December 1955) and Headmaster at the Anglican School, Ubuneke, Ivbiaro, Owan Local Government (January 1958 – December 1959). He went to the Provincial Teachers Training College, Abudu, Edo State and Government Teachers College, Abraka in Western Region(1960–1961). Later, while working at the Daily Times or on sabbatical, he attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (September 1964 – October 1966) where he earned a degree in Mass communication, and then the University of Lagos where he studied Law. He attended the Nigerian Law School, Lagos (October 1974 – May

1975), and was called to the Bar in June 1975. Momoh started his journalism career as a sub-editor at the Daily Times in October 1962, rising steadily through the ranks to become Editor and deputy general manager (June 1976 – May 1980). In June 1979, during the lead-up to the transition from military to civilian rule at the start of the Second Nigerian Republic, Momoh said of the five presidential candidates: “They are all the same ... It’s going to turn into a personality contest”. In 1981 the Senate led by Joseph Wayas summoned Momoh for contempt. This caused a major legal battle in which Momoh successfully argued that as a journalist he was empowered by the Constitution to hold government accountable at all times. In Tony Momoh v. Speaker, House of Representatives (1982) it was held that a person had the right to refuse to disclose his source of information. However, in Senate v. Tony Momoh (1983) the Court of Appeal held that the press is not a fourth arm of government. A newspaper publisher has no special immunity and the press can

be ordered to disclose its sources in some cases. Momoh was general manager of the Times from June 1984 to Sept 1986. Momoh was appointed Minister of Information and Culture by General Ibrahim Babangida, holding this position from September 1986 until 1990. He was Chairman of the African Conference of Information Ministers from 1988 to 1990. In 1983 the editor of Newswatch, Dele Giwa, was detained for a week by police for publishing what they called “classified material”. On 17 October 1986 Giwa was accused by Colonel A.K. Togun of the State Security Services (SSS) of anti-government activities including attempting to import arms to forment insurrection. On 19 October 1986 Giwa was killed by a parcel bomb. At first, Momoh pledged that there would be a government probe of the incident. He soon backed down, saying “a special probe would serve no useful purpose”. Speaking at a seminar in Lagos in 1987, Momoh said that radio, television and newspapers should be seen as tools “for the promotion of national unity and integration”. In 1988 Momoh announced that the government was trying to find

radio sets that could only receive approved broadcasts from the federal and state radio stations. This was “as a means of ensuring that information about the country was adequately disseminated” In a February 1990 interview published in Ebony magazine Momoh talked about the rich and diverse Nigerian culture. He stated that British-style parliamentary democracy and the American-style presidential system had both failed in Nigeria because they were not compatible with these local cultures. He said that Nigeria was now establishing a system of grassroots democracy in a twoparty system. In May 1990 party elections were held for local ward positions using an “open ballot”, where voters showed their preference by standing in front of a photograph of the candidate. Party elections were then scheduled for the state and national elections. Momoh said the government would not interfere in the inner workings of parties. Soon after, all the National Republican Convention candidates for national offices were disqualified on the grounds that there were irregularities in their application forms. Babangida followed a

Chief Onyema Ugochukwu

ÏÏÏ Chief Onyema Ugochukwu was born in November 9,

1944 in Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. He graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with a BSc in Economics. He is married with four children. A highly revered Nigerian economist, journalist, and politician, Ugochukwu served as the senior Special Adviser on Communication to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the first Executive Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). On February 25, 2008, an Abia State elections tribunal declared Ugochukwu the winner of the 2007 gubernatorial election and Governor-elect of Abia State. However, on February 11, 2009 an Appeal Court in Port Harcourt, the River State capital, overturned the ruling, declaring that Chief Theodore Orji of the PPA had in fact won the election. Upon graduation from college, Ugochukwu was hired as an Economic Research Assistant by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). He remained with CBN for two years before he abandoned a promising career in economics to pursue his true passion, journalism. Ugochukwu joined the Business Times group as an Economic Analyst and a pioneer staff of what would later become the most influential financial newspaper in Nigeria. He rose in the ranks to become the Editor of the Business Times Newspaper (1977 to 1982). In 1983, Ugochukwu became Editor-in-Chief of the London-based West Africa magazine, where he wrote extensively on development issues, to provide a better understanding of the African debt crisis. He eventually returned to Nigeria to become the Editorin-Chief of the Daily Times of Nigeria and he was subsequently appointed to its board as the Executive Director of

Ugochukwu Manpower and Development. He retired from newspaper journalism in 1994 as the Executive Director of Publications. Ugochukwu remained active as a media consultant for the Dow Jones Financial News Service. Throughout his distinguished career as a journalist, Ugochukwu met and interviewed numerous Heads of States – including then Minister Margaret Thatcher, former South African President Nelson Mandela, Jamaican Prime Minister P. J. Patterson, French President Jacques Chirac, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Cuban President, Fidel Castro, Nigerian presidents Ibrahim Babangi-

Momoh policy of donating money, vehicles, offices and so on to local governments, political parties and others on the basis that this would keep them free of influence by the rich and powerful. As Minister for Information Momoh justified the practice, saying of Democracy “is not as expensive as people are thinking in relation to the alternative. The alternative is allowing one man to dictate to the whole Nigeria because you don’t want it to be expensive. If money is not spent on democracy and a one-man dictatorship emerges ... it is

the same Nigerians who are talking of expensiveness now that will shout that one man is a dictator”. Babangida was tough on the press at times, but tried to avoid open conflict. When the press began calling for Momoh’s dismissal he was slow to respond, since Momoh was intelligent and reflective, and had experience from his own days as a newspaper editor. However, he finally dismissed Momoh and replaced him with Alex Akinyele, who had previously been in the customs services and had been a director at Newswatch.

da, Muhammadu Buhari, Sani Abacha, and Abdusalami Abubakar – and presented papers on African economic and political development at various fora including Oxford University, England, and Uppsala University. With Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1998, Ugochukwu became the Director of Publicity at the Obasanjo for President Campaign Organisation, and contributed immensely to the election of Olusegun Obasanjo as the President of Nigeria. He was appointed as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Orientation and Public Affairs. He spearheaded a National Rebirth campaign aimed at instilling patriotic virtues into a national psyche ravaged by years of political instability and corruption. It was on this platform that Ugochukwu launched “The Nigerian Declaration of Human Responsibilities”, which declares in part: “This Character on Human Responsibilities… Seeks to bring freedom and responsibility into a better balance, to highlight and increase awareness of the obligation which we owe each other and to our nation.” To soothe the political unrest in the oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria, President Obasanjo signed the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Act of 2000 into law. He was appointed as the pioneer chairman of the newly created commission, charged with developing the nine oil producing states of the country, with excess oil revenues. Ugochukwu helped to articulate the president’s vision of sustainable development in the Niger Delta region, and developed a policy which encouraged partnership amongst its stakeholders—Niger-delta communities and their traditional rulers, youths, oil companies and their executives, the Nigerian government, and Non-Governmental Organisations, and international organisations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank. During Ugochukwu’s tenure, the NDDC focused mainly on economic revival and prosperity, environmental rehabilitation, and the development of social and physical infrastructure.

Yelling at your teen may be more harmful than you think

For many parent yelling at their adolescent child is a normal event. Although most parent who yell at their teen would not dream of physically harming their teen-shouting or cursing or using insult may be detrimental to the long term wellbeing of the adolescence. Researchers found out that adolescents who had experienced harsh verbal discipline suffered from increased levels of depressive symptoms, and were more likely to demonstrate behavioral problems such as vandalism or antisocial and aggressive behavior. “Parental warmth”—i.e., the degree of love, emotional support, and affection between parents and adolescents— did not lessen the effects of the verbal discipline. The sense that parents are yelling at the child “out of love,” or “for their does the strength of the parent-child bond .Even lapsing only occasionally into the use of harsh verbal discipline, can still be harmful. When parents aggressively yell at their teenagers, the teens feel rejected and that their parents dislike them. When parents act hostilely towards their children, the teens tend to become angrier, more irritable and more belligerent. Rather than feeling nurtured, the teen frequently becomes suspicious of his or her angry parents and feels the need to defend him- or herself. This often leads to bad behavior. means better communication.

Man of the Year: Ibe Kachikwu Ï j Ɗƈ ƈƋ ÷ ƆƅƐ Ə Ɛ ƆƔƐ ƋƆƒƆƋ ÏÏÏ Given

his track record as an accomplished technocrat with enviable professional and academic track record in the industry in which he has had over 30 years of cognate experience locally and internationally, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu’s appointment as the Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to many industry watchers was a ‘round peg in a round hole’ and kudos was given to President Muhammadu Buhari who made sanitisation of the oil sector a cardinal plank of his presidency. It was argued that President Buhari couldn’t have looked for a better upright manager of the nation’s oil resources than Kachikwu especially at a time when there was a record breaking mind boggling malfeasance in the management of the NNPC and Nigeria in desperate need of more oil sales revenue to support government budgets, protect foreign reserves and help stop the ongoing devaluation of the national currency. At his assumption of office, these formed the essential part of the challenges that Kachikwu confronted “as he tried to halt selling of crude oil to politically-connected, ”carpetbaggers” that lack the capacity to perform, establish and adhere to strong internal policies for vetting and choosing buyers of oil, and for apportioning cargoes of oil among buyers, publicly account for earnings from sales of crude from NPDC and its oil trading subsidiaries, and cease unconstitutional withholding of federal revenue”. As the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Kachikwu, said that the NNPC was to be unbundled into 30 profit-making companies with separate Managing Directors as part of the ongoing transformation of the national oil company. Under his supervision, the NNPC moved from a loss position of N160 billion to some N3 billion by January 2016, Just as by

year end, NNPC started to make some profit. “For the first time, we are unbundling the subset of the NNPC to 30 independent companies with their own Managing Directors. Titles like Group Executive Directors are going to disappear and in their place you are going to have Chief Executive Officers and they are going to take responsibilities for their titles. At the end of the day, the CEO of an upstream company must deliver an upstream result,” Kachikwu stated. The Minister noted that the President Buhari administration is focusing on developing the nation’s gas resources in order to boost revenue as part of the diversification policy of the Federal Government. Kachikwu said the petroleum sector, under his watch, would rapidly review the contracting cycle of projects from two years to six months in the upstream, stressing that efforts are in top gear to review the existing Production Sharing Contracts which is long overdue. In what could be described as a face-off between Kachikwu, and his successor at NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, the Minister of State was compelled to accuse Baru of “completely eroding” some of the reforms he introduced as head of the oil firm. Buhari had appointed Kachikwu as NNPC GMD in August 2015 but replaced him with Baru in July 2016. His reformation drive was endorsed by the United States Government which pledged its readiness to work with the Management of the NNPC in achieving the Federal Government’s reform agenda in the oil and gas industry. The then USA Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador James Entwistle assured Kachikwu of United States willingness to provide all necessary support to the NNPC Management to realize its set goals and objectives. Amb. Entwistle noted that though the job of the GMD of NNPC is about the most challenging job in Nigeria, the USA is

convinced that Kachikwu has the skills, training and requisite experience to lead the oil and gas industry in Nigeria towards the path of growth and sustainable development. Commending the USA for the pledge of support, Kachikwu reiterated the determination of the new NNPC Management to implement the spirit and letter of President Buhari’s reform agenda in the petroleum industry. The GMD stated that the new NNPC would be driven by a deep sense of commitment to service delivery anchored on the principle of transparency, efficiency, people, purpose and profit. ``My mission is to redirect and re-energize the work force for greater value addition and I believe that the NNPC, given the right leadership has what it takes to achieve this objective,’’ he said. His intervention in the face-off between NigerDelta activists and the Federal Government led to a restart of the amnesty payments and discuss investment initiatives that boost the regional economy and its social services. His argument is that the Federal Government’s plans for capital investment in Niger Delta – more roads, more power stations, better water and sanitation with big investment in schools and clinics – will benefit the people more than ad hoc payments to militant gangs, past or present. Kachikwu steered the much-delayed Petroleum Industry Bill to restructure the NNPC through the Senate (AC Vol 56 No 20. It sets out clearer rules for investors and the NNPC would be quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and compelled to issue timely financial statements. With a great input from Kachikwu, the government put an end to fuel subsidy, a policy designed ostensibly to help the poorest people but which in reality became a statefinanced welfare scheme for fuel importers, most of them multi-millionaires. As Group Managing Director of NNPC and as

Kachikwu Minister, he has fought many battles with oil marketers in his bid to stem acute fuel scarcity, increase revenue accrue to government’s purse and in stabilising the industry. He has said it repeatedly that current fuel scarcity which has become a national embarrassment was not caused by government, but rather blamed it on profitminded marketers who were alleged to have hoarded fuel in anticipation of an increase in pump price of petroleum products. Kachikwu was an active player in the private sector where best business practices and corporate good governance are sine qua non. He was the former Executive Vice Chairman of ExxonMobil (Africa Operations). He wrote legal books. His bestseller is “Legislation and Policy on Foreign Investment in Nigeria”. The man also authored about 20 different publications. Kachikwu was appointed as the NNPC Chief Executive in August 2015. The

first thing he did when he entered the new position was to reduce the number of directors. There were eight of them. Kachikwu removed four of them. He was born on December 18, 1956 to late Justice Francis Kachikwu and Maria Kachikwu. He attended St. Peter’s Primary School Ogwashi-Uku before gaining admission into St. Pius Grammar School OnichaUgbo, and left in 1968 with top level performance recorded. He attended Edo College from 1973 to 1974 and spectacular performance. He studied Law at the University of Nigeria 1978, where he made a first class result and the best graduating student. At the 1979 set of Nigerian Law School, he emerged with another First Class and best graduate winning 7 of available 9 prizes. At his LLM programme at Harvard University in 1980, it was another First Class performance. His Doctorate degree programme did not come with lesser performance.

Woman of the Year: Mrs. Aisha Buhari

Ï An uncommon First Lady with passion ÏÏÏ For exhibiting unprec-

edented courage and coupled with the fact that she usually speaks to power in a government in which her husband is the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari is an unusual First Lady. “A woman is a full circle; within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.” The above quote by Diana Marriechild aptly described our Woman of the Year, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, the First Lady and wife of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. In the annals of Nigeria’s political history, Mrs. Buhari has earned for herself a place in history among women in the ‘inner seclusion’ of the corridors of power. She has debunked the postulation that ‘women are to be seen and not to be heard’ as she has effectively lent her voice to national issues even criticising her husband’s administration on issues of national interest. She has conscientiously displayed her love for humanity especially concerned with transforming the fortune of women, girls and children. It is instructive to note that Mrs. Aisha Buhari has called for a probe of the State House Medical Clini over poor health facilities in the hospital despite the huge budgetary allocation to it. She condemned the “lack of facilities” at the clinic during a programme in Abuja and equally lamented the total or dearth of some necessary hospital facilities such as syringe, drugs and equipment needed for saving lives. Mrs. Buhari, who spoke at the opening of a two-day stakeholders meeting on Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition organised by her pet project, Future Assured in Abuja, said the ongoing renovations at the clinic was baseless because the hospital lacked the equipment to save lives. She Said, “If somebody like Mr. President can spend several months outside Nigeria, then you wonder what will happen to a common man on the street in Nigeria. Few weeks ago, I was sick as well, they advised me to take the first flight out to London, I refused to go. I said I must be treated in Nigeria because there is a budget for an assigned clinic to take care of us. If the budget is N100 million, we need to know how the budget is spent. Along the line, I insisted

they call Aso Clinic to find out if the X-ray machine is working, they said it is not working. They didn’t know I am the one that was supposed to be in that hospital at that very time. I had to go to a hospital that was established by foreigners in and out 100 percent. What does that mean? So, I think is high time for us to do the right thing. If something like this can happen to me, no need for me to ask the governors’ wives what is happening in their states. This is Abuja and this is the highest seat of government, and this is Presidential Villa.” The wife of the president calls on the government, civil society and private sector to address social norms that permit women and girls to be treated as lesser breed than men and boys – she called on government at all levels to give priority to education and empowerment of women and children. Aisha made this call in Abuja at the International Sheroes Forum with the theme: “Advancing women’s roles in business leadership and governance.” The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in 2012 released a report which said that “Nigeria has one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the world. One in seven children dies before her or his fifth birthday.” Aware of these challenges and to let every citizen feel the impact of government, Mrs. Aisha Buhari is determined to give everyone a sense of belonging, beyond the channeling of attention to women and children only. This is evident in the christening of her pet project- Future Assured and its offshoot, Get Involved – names that are by no means suggestive of asymmetry but inclusive in form and nature. As the future is assured for women, so it is for men through the various action plans that Mrs. Buhari is rolling out for the upliftment of families and society. To her, needless to empower a woman only, when the man also needs empowerment to cater and support the woman and child. The man, after all, is also a crucial component of the family unit. It is based on this understanding that the wife of the President recently launched Get Involved- a quick interventionist programme to halt yearly deaths of malnourished children in the country on the strength

that every child is entitled to a meal every day. She believes that when children are fed regularly and in the required proportions, their parents save money for medications and are free from mental and financial stresses. And with the commitments Mrs. Buhari is showing in promoting girls education and other issues concerning the girl-child, Nigeria is likely to benefit from the grant and other grants that have been set aside by development partners in implementing policies aimed at guaranteeing quality food, health, education, sanitation and safe drinking water for every Nigerian. She has commenced these intervention measures at Bama and Maiduguri camps for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) where she donated four tonnes of ready to use products (Soy Kunu for adults/ pregnant and lactating mothers and Soyalac for children) to fight malnutrition prevalent among inmates in the camps. These inmates are not only women and children but also adolescent boys, fathers and grandfathers. She is known for her nonflamboyant life-style. Mrs. Buhari had in her twitter handle denied receiving SUV vehicles from the Nigerian Police for personal use, saying “I am still using my personal cars.’’ Politically conscious Aisha Buhari, the wife of the President, had in the wake of a sickness that had kept her husband out of the country for over two months, given an insight into the power play at the Nigerian seat of power. In a Facebook post, she alluded to some elements around her ailing husband as “the hyenas” and “the jackals,” hoping that they would soon be sent out of the “Kingdom”. She responded to a post by Senator Shehu Sani who said “Prayer for the absent Lion King has waned; until he’s back then they will fall over each other to be on the front row of the palace temple. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispered; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not… “It is the wish of the Hyenas and the Jackals that the Lion King never wakes up or come back so that they can be kings. It is the prayers of the weak animals that the Lion King comes back to save the kingdom from

’

the Hyenas, the wolves and other predators” She wittingly responded to Senator Sani’s comment by saying: “God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals. The Hyenas and the jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom. We strongly believe in the prayers and support of the weaker animals”. Mrs. Aisha’s comment attracted some comments from her followers on Facebook, wishing her husband quick recovery. The First Lady also warned her husband that she may not back him at the next election unless he shakes up his government. In a BBC interview, Aisha Buhari suggested his government had been hijacked by only a “few people”, who

were behind presidential appointments. She said the president did not know most of the officials he had appointed. President Buhari, who is on a visit to Germany, had responded by saying his wife belonged in his kitchen. Standing alongside German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, at a news conference, the president laughed off his wife’s accusations. “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room,” he said. Mrs. Buhari on an interview with a BBC Hausa service programme, was quoted to have said: “The president does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and I don’t know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years.” She said people who did not share the vision of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were now appointed to top posts because of the influence a “few people” wield. “Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position,” she said. Mrs. Buhari was prompted to speak out in an effort to end those practices so that party loyalists who contributed to his election victory could benefit. Aisha Buhari campaigned vigorously for her husband in the 2015 general election, organising town hall meetings with women’s groups and youth organisations across the country. However, she kept a low

profile at the start of the administration and was barely seen or heard. She was restricted to her work on the empowerment of women and helping victims of the Boko Haram conflict in the north-east of the country where she is from. Aisha (née Halilu) Buhari is the second and current wife of President Buhari. She was born in Adamawa State in the family of the first Minister of Defence, Mohammadu Ribadu. She was raised in the best traditions of Fulani culture. Aisha graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University where she earned a Bachelor degree in Public Administration. She also has a post-graduate diploma of the Academy Esthetique Beauty Institute of France in Cosmetology and Beauty. Moreover, she is an alumnus of the famous Carlton Institute of London. Mrs. Buhari is reportedly engaged in a private enterprise where she has become an employer of labour, a mentor to all aspiring cosmetologists and a consultant to the KRCP/ NNPC on skills acquisition. She is also a member of the United Kingdom Vocational Training and Charitable Trust (VTCT), The International Health and Beauty Council (HBC). She also helps women politicians to raise funds for campaigns. She speaks English and Arabic fluently. In December 1989, Muhammadu Buhari married Aisha Halilu. Together they have five children, a boy and four girls. They are Aisha, Halima, Yusuf, Zarah and Amina.

Politician of the Year- Gov Willie Obiano

Ï Impacting positive lives on Ndi-Anambra ÏÏÏ For

the almost four years that he has been in office as Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Maduabuchi Obiano, has proven that he is a politician with the interest of present and future generations of Ndi Anambra at heart through various development projects his administration has embarked upon. Born on August 8, 1955, Obiano is a Nigerian banker, technocrat and the fourth democratically elected governor of Anambra State. Governor Obiano hails from Aguleri, a town in Anambra East Local Government Area of the state. He attended his early education at Holy Trinity primary school Onitsha and obtained his higher school certificate and WASSCE from Christ the Kings College, Onitsha. In pursuant of his education, Obiano obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy from the University of Lagos in 1979 and a Master of Business Administration from the same institution. To add more value to his academic career, he successfully obtained an MBA in Marketing from the same university in 1993. In search of greener pasture, Governor Obiano began his Banking career at First Bank of Nigeria before he left to join the services of Chevron Oil Nigeria Plc as accountant and rose to the position of Chief Internal Auditor in 1989. He was one of the Auditors that audited Texaco Refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands and in 1991, he joined the Fidelity Bank as Deputy Manager and Head of Audit unit and rose to the position of Executive Director on October, 2003. He left the banking system to join politics and in 2013, he contested the November 16, 17, and 30 Anambra State gubernatorial election on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). He won the election and was sworn in on March 17, 2014 to succeed former Governor Peter Obi. To an Achiever, the good people of Anambra State re-elected him for a second term in office on November 18, 2017 gubernatorial election. He won overwhelmingly in all the 21 local government areas of the state to beat other 36 contenders

sponsored by godfathers. Governor Willie Maduabuchi Obiano has no doubt brought governance to the people of Anambra State through the pursuit of lifechanging programmes and projects. His intervention in all sector of human life has raised hope of a brighter tomorrow presently and future generation. Although, a member of the APGA, the Governor has continued to maintain cordial relationship with other political parties in the state by practicing politics of inclusion, national cohesion and consensus building, a political culture most needed for the country’s growth and development. In the past four years before his re-elected for second term, Obiano has learnt to balance the diversities in the state in terms of religion and ethnicity to deliver on his campaign

’

promises to the people. In a county where payment of workers’ salaries has become a major headache for some Governors, Obiano stands out a reference point for prompt payment of salaries. For Obiano, nobody knew the secret employed by this accountant and banker turned politician but the Governor employed civilized method, using the police and installing of street lights at strategic places in the state especially from Onitsha Bridgehead to Borrmeo Hospital Roundabout through old road to Amawbia Awka. Today, Anambra State can be said to have the best security network. Many prominent Anambrarians who had relocated to Lagos, Abuja, Enugu and other places in Nigeria now have started coming back to the state. Since then, business has picked up

across the state. Night life has returned to Onitsha, Awka and other major cities of the state. Obiano’s security presence in the state expectedly has multiplier effect on the socio- economic development of any place as it engenders confidence among the people, business community and investors. Indeed, Governor Obiano’s improved security situation has increased the number of hours of doing business in the state as well as brought back night life which had died long ago. Anambra State known as the “LIGHT OF THE NATION” under Obiano has major investment in rice production like Coscharis farm in Ayamelum as well as poultry in Igbariam and others in various parts of the state. The state’s investment in Agriculture has resulted in

exportation of vegetables from Anambra State to European countries and yam to United States of America. In furtherance to boost food sufficiency, the Governor has made available to farmers in the state 291 hectares of land, seedlings, fertilizers and herbicides to encourage mechanized agriculture across the 21 local government areas. No wonder, traders in the state are happy that his administration has impacted heavily on them in one way or the other. Obiano took the bull by the horn by setting up 10 million projects in all the major markets in the state. In the area of chooseyourself N10 million projects, every market in the state benefitted from the largess worth of project. Many of the markets used the opportunity to build office complex, halls, access road, motor park complex, electricity, water borehole and overhead tank among other projects. His achievements did not stop there. Fire fighting vehicles were also bought and distributed to strategic market in case of any fire outbreak. Obiano has also extended the kind gesture to all the communities in Anambra State by asking them to choose any N20 million project. The outstanding and achieving Governor went further to challenge the communities which finished their first projects time frame to choose another tranche of N20 million project, which some communities have already benefited. The goodnews about the banker-turned politician is that virtually all the communities have completed all their projects, while some who finished on time have been given another N20 million for second projects. These projects are dotted all over the communities like town halls, skill acquisition centres, road rehabilitation, and borehole among others. In short, Governor Obiano in the almost four years he has been in office has done more than excellent in the construction of roads and bridges. Apart from constructing three world class bridges in Awka at the popular Aroma junction in Awka, Kwata and Amawbia junctions in the state capital, the performing Governor

has also done a bridge across Mamu River at Amansea NdiukwuenuAwa- Ufuma. To crown it all, he has also constructed about 180Km of roads throughout the state as well as rehabilitated the existing roads through the State Road maintenance Agency’s zero pothole programme. The working Governor also constructed the Iyiora bridge believed to be the longest in the state, which connects Anambra west, part of the food basket basin of the state to the rest of the world. It is hoped that as he takes another oath in office this year for his second term, the ongoing roads construction in different parts of the state, one of them being the construction of bridge across NtejeUmanya bye- pass along the Onitsha- Enugu Expressway will be speeded up. On education, the Governor gave out a total of N700 million to mission schools, constructed over 2,500 classroom blocks for primary and secondary schools in the state, installed 30KVA generating sets and provided transformers to the schools to enhance effective teaching and learning. Interestingly, the Governor’s administration also awarded scholarships to a total of 200 students of Anambra State of origin to the tune of about N120 million as a source of encouragement to academic excellence among Anambra children. The school sector under Obiano has recruited 70 contract teachers for the 11 technical colleges in the state to boost their staff strength. The welfare of teachers was not left behind as the Obiano administration consequently increased the salary of 1,634 teachers in core subjects in the state school system as well as the salary of 2,732 teachers in rural areas of the state by 20 percent to motivate them and provide more access to quality education to the children in riverine and agrarian areas of the state. No doubt, the outstanding achievements by Obiano’s administration in Anambra State made it possible for him to record a landslide victory in the November 18, 2017 gubernatorial election.

Governor of the Year: Gov Nyesom Wike

Ï Redefining Rivers landscape through massive reconstruction ÏÏÏ

Born on December 13, 1967, Governor Nyesom Wike, an outstanding administrator, lawyer and politician is referred to as the Golden Governor. He just turned 50 and had the singular fortune of taking Rivers State to its glorious Golden Jubilee anniversary in May, this year. Barrister Nyesom Wike was born to the family of Reverend and Mrs. Nlemanya Wike of Rumuepirikom community, Obio/Akpor in Rivers State. He spent most of his academic life in Rivers State, hence, he once proudly declared himself a local champion. A holder of several traditional chieftaincy titles, Barrister Nyesom Wike is happily married to Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, a High Court Judge with the Rivers State Judiciary. The union is blessed with three children. He holds degrees in Political and Administrative Studies as well as in Law. However, after a brief stint with the private legal practice, Barrister Wike was elected twice as the Executive Chairman of Obio/ Akpor Local Government Area and served out two tenures from 1999 to 2007. A one-time Deputy President of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Governor Nyesom Wike was later elected as the substantive President of the Association. From the position of the Chairman of Obio/Akpor, he moved on to serve as the Chief of Staff, Government House, between October 26, 2007 and May 28, 2011 under the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers State then. From there, Barrister Nyesom Wike was appointed the Director-General of Governor Amaechi’s reelection Campaign Organisation. He was reputed for being the brain behind the success of Rt. Hon. Amaechi second race to the Brick House after which he became the most powerful Chief of Staff in the state. On July 14, 2011, Barrister Wike was subsequently appointed and sworn-in as the Minister of State for Education. This feat is widely attributed to the recommendation of the then governor of the state, Rt. Hon. Amaechi. Subsequently, following a cabinet shakeup, Barrister Wike emerged the Supervising Minister of Education of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. At the end of fierce political and legal battles

‘

Governor Wike has completed numerous projects including 50 medium-income flats at Iriebe, Iloabuchi-Eagle Island Link Road, AbonnemaObonoma Link Road and the NBA Port Harcourt Law Office, reconstruction of roads from Borokiri Road in Old Port Harcourt Township to Rumuwoji (Mile 1) Market Phase 2 ground breaking, Mile 1 Flyover Park, Abonnema Wharf Road, Woji-Elelenwo Road, Woji-Trans Amadi Road, Onne Seaport Access Road and Abuloma-Woji Road

’

between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the April 11, 2015, gubernatorial election in Rivers State, Wike emerged as the sixth governor of the State and has, since his swearing in on May 29, 2015, recorded numerous achievements, some of which prompted the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo to dub him ‘Mr. Projects.’ But his most remarkable achievements dated back to his tenure as the Minister of State for Education and subsequently the Supervising Minister of Education. He made enviable impacts in the basic education subsector, spear-heading a nationwide reform of the nation’s education system. It is worthy to note that as Minister of State for Education, he created access to quality education for 9

Wike million Almajiri children in the Northern part of Nigeria through the construction of appropriate schools in affected states. He was also the driving force behind the construction of basic education vocational training schools for out-ofschool children in Southern Nigeria and Special Girl-Education Schools for less privileged girls in 16 states of the federation. He also superintended over the distribution of over 60 million text books and library resource materials to various schools in the country, among other achievements. Determined to leave his footsteps in the sands of time, Governor Wike swung into action as soon as he was sworn-in as the governor of the state. The newly sworn-in governor said: “Never again will we allow projects meant for the people to be abandoned just because we did not award it. I will never do any project that will be abandoned. No part of the state will be neglected in the infrastructure renewal programme of my administration.” Less than 24 hours after taking his oath of office, Governor Wike announced the return to work of the ju-

diciary and the re-opening of courts in the state which were shut down during the tenure of Rt. Hon. Amaechi, now the Minister of Transportation. He also ended the controversy surrounding the appointment of the Chief Judge of the state as he swiftly appointed Justice Daisy Okocha (now retired) in acting capacity to fill the gap. The opening of the courts brought financial relief to practicing lawyers in the state who had also suffered professional setbacks throughout the period the courts were shut down. Governor Nyesom Wike deeply delved into what he termed ‘Operation Zero Potholes’ on roads round the state, particularly in Port Harcourt, capital city of the state. As at May 2017, the governor had reworked roads totaling over 33 kilometers under its Operation Zero Pothole scheme. In his 100 Days in office celebration, Governor Wike has completed numerous projects including 50 medium-income flats at Iriebe, Iloabuchi-Eagle Island Link Road, Abonnema-Obonoma Link Road and the NBA Port Harcourt Law Office, reconstruction of roads

from Borokiri Road in Old Port Harcourt Township to Rumuwoji (Mile 1) Market Phase 2 ground breaking, Mile 1 Flyover Park, Abonnema Wharf Road, Woji-Elelenwo Road, WojiTrans Amadi Road, Onne Seaport Access Road and Abuloma-Woji Road. Others were the Kpopie-Bodo Road in Gokana LGA, Second Nkpogu Bridge in Trans Amadi, SakpenwaBori Road, Igwuruta-Etche Road and Ogoni-AndoniOpobo Unity Road. Spreading infrastructural development across the state, Governor Wike also completed the N150 million ATC Jetty at Okrika and the Bonny/Bille Jetty on Creek Road as part of measures to boost marine transportation in the state. Just before the celebration of the Golden Jubilee anniversary in the state, a number of projects were initiated while others were commissioned. These included the flag-off of Bakana land reclamation in Degema LGA; flag-off of Oyigbo-Mbano CampIriebe Road reconstruction; commissioning of rehabilitated Brick House building in Government House; commissioning of Port

Harcourt Pleasure Park which now yields revenue for the state, and the Ecumenical Centre on Abonnema Wharf Road. Governor Nyesom Wike Wike has within less than three years of his administration made inroads in the development of other sectors of the economy such as education. Some notable accomplishments in the education sector included the rehabilitation of select schools across the state, such as the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, Nyemoni Grammar School, Abonnema, and Government Girls Secondary School, Rumuokwuta, just to mention a few. Hospitals and health institutions were not left out in the development strides by Governor Nyesom Wike. Some of those rehabilitated and upgraded to provide better services to the people included the Elele-Alimini General Hospital and the School of Nursing in Port Harcourt, among other health institutions. Governor Wike has invested tremendously in the area of security. A few months into his administration in 2015, Governor Nyesom Wike received the then Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase and donated 64 patrol vans to the Rivers state police command and other security agencies to help combat crime in the state. During the presentation of the vans, the governor stated: “The most important role of any responsible Government is the security of lives and property.” The governor had said on different occasions that he had zero tolerance for crime and criminality. This, then, explains why he took huge steps to lure cultists, kidnappers, and robbers out of criminality by granting them amnesty. The gesture yielded some fruitful results as many youths surrendered their weapons and genuinely embraced the amnesty programme. Today, Governor Wike ranks among governors in Nigeria who are not in arrears of payment of salaries and pensions. Speaking while flagging off the construction of Isiokpo Town, an ancient city of Ikwerre land, Wike said: “The Paris Refund Club they paid us will be used to execute meaningful projects in the state. For us, we have passed the stage of payments of salaries and pensions. We have cleared all those and our focus now is to roll out projects for the benefit of our people.”

Good Governance Award - Gov Aminu Tambuwal Ï Delivering dividends of democracy in Sokoto for positive change

ÏÏÏ Since becoming the chief

executive of Sokoto State, Governor Aminu Tambuwal has left no one in doubt that he was and is really prepared for leadership and is at home with the needs and demands of the people of the Seat of the Caliphate. His profound achievements in the last two years are what informed the honour and recognition accorded him. As governor, Tambuwal has raised the ante of purposeful leadership and good governance. He has transformed Sokoto State and has imprinted indelible marks in the sand of history in the state. His achievements traversed all sectors of human endeavours, which space and time would not allow us to enumerate here. Aware that education is the bedrock of human capital and enduring societal development, Tambuwal upon becoming governor declared a state of emergency on education and has accorded priority attention to girl-child education in the state. In 2016, the governor made history by laying the foundation for the construction of a new secondary school in Balle, Gudu local government area, the only local government area without a senior secondary school in the whole country. Determined to make the necessary impact, he allocated more funds to education in the state’s budgets in 2016 and 2017 than any other sector. Importantly, the allocations were more than the UNICEF recommended 26 percent. Last year, Sokoto became the first state in Nigeria to pass the Right to Education law which makes education compulsory and free for all children between the ages of five and 18. It also criminalises refusal to send children to school, and parents will be liable to criminal prosecution if they stop their children from attending schools. So far, over 22 Doctors and Engineers sponsored for medical and engineering studies in foreign universities under the Higher Education Scheme Programme. Over 8,000 Sokoto students have benefitted from Government’s free JAMB forms for the joint admissions and matriculations board unified tertiary institutions admission examinations. Over 500 new teachers recruited by government to boost manpower in secondary schools. More than N3bn has been expended in the payment of tuition/living expenses to students studying in various disciplines across the globe. Presently, Sokoto has over 342 foreign students under full sponsorship by the State Government with over 17,000 students studying various courses in institutions of higher learning, within the country. in the area of pupil enrollment, significant improvement has been recorded with 1,193,760 enrolled in the Basic Education Schools for the 2015/2016 academic session alone. The results of the interventions became apparent when UNICEF announced few days ago that the number of out of school children in Sokoto has dropped from 67% in 2015, to 31% in 2017. This presents one of the highest drops in the history of Nigeria. The administration has made significant progress in improving the health condition of the people of the state through provision of standard health care facilities and making access to healthcare easier. Hence infant and maternal mortality rate as well as incidences of VVF has drastically reduced. There has been a massive upgrade of premier health facilities in various parts of the state. Some of these projects include repairs and total renovations of 19 General Hospitals in the state, repairs of the Maternity Unit of State Specialist Hospital, Sokoto, completion of the second phase of the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, comprising of 47 staff houses, two wards and landscaping. The Government has converted the Amanawa Leprosarium into Infectious Diseases Hospital and the conversion MMSH into a Renal and Cardiac Centre. The government also introduced the Community Contributory Healthcare Scheme with the Governor setting aside N100m as seed fund for the take off. About three million residents, more than half of the state’s population, will benefit from the scheme. The government has released N874.9m as counterpart funding for intervention in health along with Dangote Foundation and Bill/Melinda Gates Foundation. At least over 25 International Development Partners have been attracted to Sokoto to work in the health sector. 213 Doctors and Health Professionals engaged to develop Sokoto State Strategic Health Plan for 2016-2020 in collaboration with RTI/LEAD/USAID. 583 NOMA patients have so far received free plastic surgeries at the state Noma Children Hospital. Over 6,500 epilepsy and psychiatric patients have received free medication from government; and they were drawn from 65 wards in the 23 local government areas of the state. Most importantly, N10 million is being expended monthly to provide free drugs to patients in hospitals and other health facilities in Sokoto.

Tambuwal has raised the ante of purposeful leadership and good governance. He has transformed Sokoto State and has imprinted indelible marks in the sand of history in the state. His achievements traversed all sectors of human endeavours

’

Of course, housing is one of the primary needs of man and Governor Tambuwal is not oblivious of this hence since 2015, 300 Civil Servants have benefitted from Home renovation loan guaranteed by the government, and expended through the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN). Already, Government has completed work at the 500 housing unit Kalambaina Estate. There is another 500 housing unit Kalambaina Estate completed; with another 500 Units of houses at Gidan Man Ada inherited from the previous administration and funds provided for their completion. In an era, where majority of the states are unable to pay workers’ salaries, it is gratifying to note that Tambuwal has created not less than 1000 new millionaires in Sokoto after the payment of retirement benefits to 1907 pensioners. His administration is up to date in the payment of salaries and pensions. Governor Tambuwal has created wealth and empowered youths and women in the state. When some states are downsizing their workforce, Sokoto state has employed 500 new junior and mid-cadre staff into the state civil service. In line with this administration’s diversification policy, Sokoto state under Governor Tambuwal is a reference point as in his first year in office, 9,000 tons of fertilizer were bought and sold to farmers at subsidized rate for the 2015 farming season at the cost of N1.2 billion and this has continued up till today. Already, a new Organic Fertiliser Company has been established in Sokoto and production has continued since it was unveiled in earlier this year. For two years running, Sokoto allocated more funds to the agric sector than any state in the country. $250m has been voted for the establishment of a Tomato Processing Factory by Erisco Foods Limited in Sokoto. An MoU has already been signed while land for the project has been handed over to the company by the Government. N1,660 billion has been expended in the provision of water pumps, seedlings, drilling tube wells and other agricultural machineries for farmers. AnotherN1,690 billion for the procurement of 1000 units of Tiller Machines for farmers in the state. The Government has not rested in the war against cor-

ruption and as at today, N1.5 billion redundant funds has been recovered by Government from 100 previously unknown accounts in various commercial banks after the introduction of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) payment system. In short, Governor Tambuwal has demystified governance. Described by those who know him closely as a kind hearted and passionate individual, Tambuwal is a committed professional who excels in any given task. In the political stratosphere of today, he has remained his true self. Besides his apparent willingness not to be encumbered by the political exigencies of double-speak, his utterances and actions have been guided by the need to do what is right, and what is in the best interest of the country. The Man, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, lawyer, parliamentarian, administrator, was born on January 10, 1966 in Tambuwal, Sokoto State. He had his early education at the Tambuwal Primary School from 1972 -1979 and Government Teachers College Dogon-Daji where he obtained his Teachers Grade 11 Certificate in 1984. Determined to become a lawyer, young Aminu proceeded to read Law at the Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto, graduating in 1991 with an LL.B (Hons). In 1992, after successfully completing his one year mandatory studies at the Nigeria Law School Lagos, he was called to the Nigerian Bar. His charm and vibrant pursuit of an egalitarian society was soon noticed by his colleagues who persuaded him to run for office and he was elected the Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Bar Association, Sokoto in 1997. Subsequently, he was to serve variously as the association’s Assistant National Financial Secretary, 1st National Secretary, and Secretary of the Human Rights Committee, between the years 1998 - 2002. Political Career After working as the Personal Assistant to the then Senate Leader, Senator Abdullahi Wali, Tambuwal ran for the House of Representatives seat for Kebbe/Tambuwal federal constituency of Sokoto State in 2003 on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and won. In 2004, he became the Minority Leader of the House. His knowledge, charisma and erudition, made him a very efficient leader of the opposition. Determined to continue rendering qualitative representation to his constituents, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal again contested the National Assembly elections in 2007. Following wide ranging consultations, orchestrated and spearheaded by his Leader Alhaji Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, Tambuwal recontested, this time on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He won the seat to represent his constituency from 2007-2011. No longer in the opposition, he was promptly elected the Deputy Chief Whip of the House, bringing his varied legislative experience, vast array of friends in different parties and sound judgment, to bear on the leadership of the House. In 2011, when Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal again stood for and won election to the House of Representatives, he had become one of the most experienced and most regarded members of that hallowed chamber. His integrity, knowledge of procedure and people, and his charming intelligence made him a very popular ranking member of the House. When the time came to elect a Speaker for the House therefore, it was inevitable that he would become the top contender. His nationalistic vision, his leadership by consensus, and his popularity with people across party, religion and ethnic lines, earned him the trust and ultimately the vote of his colleagues to become Speaker of the 7th Assembly of the House of Representatives. Against almost insurmountable odds, Tambuwal emerged Speaker in 2011 and ran a clean House, devoid of the controversies, corrupt charges and jostles for power that seemed to have characterised the tenure of his predecessors. Tambuwal is a man of many parts who has been able to distinguish himself in all of them. Some of his other achievements include: Leader of the Nigerian Delegation to African, Caribbean, Pacific and European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly; Leader of the Federal Government team to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regarding the controversial denial of visas to Nigerian female pilgrims; Member, International Bar Association, Member, Nigerian bar Association; Member, National Executive Committee Nigerian Bar Association; he has attended courses in Kennedy School of Government, Harvard, USA; Oxford University; Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Tulane University, both in the USA.

Life Achievement Award: Bola Tinubu Ï A colossus politician of repute

ÏÏÏ Nigeria

is a country where heroes are scarce and visionary leadership is even more rare. However, Nigeria can still take pride in one leader who has demonstrated rare courage and commitment to justice. One who has made personal sacrifices to advance the common good, and who remains unrelenting in the search for good and responsible governance. That leader is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a two-term former Lagos State Governor and the national leader of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Tinubu is that rare leader who combines practical political acumen, strategic vision and moral principles. When the history of the first score years of the 21st century in Nigeria is written, it will state that Tinubu’s rare courage and foresight in guiding his party abolished the determined efforts of the then ruling party to turn Nigeria into a one party state. More than any person since the return of civilian rule in 1999, Tinubu’s actions in maintaining his political party and helped salvage multiparty electoral democracy in Nigeria. With this contribution alone, he has helped his nation keep to the path leading toward good governance, human rights and prosperity for all. While Nigeria still has far to go to reach these objectives, it would have turned toward a less just and democratic without Bola Tinubu. In a political culture where most members of the political class gravitate towards the ruling party to ease the path towards fulfilment of personal ambition or for pecuniary reward, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s resilience and steadfastness in giving inspirational leadership to the APC is remarkable. It is a testimony to the depth of the convictions that have motivated and sustained him in politics over the last two and a half decades. One of Nigeria’s leading national newspapers in a published piece described him as Nigeria’s Political Samurai. “…By his focus and determination, Senator Bola Tinubu, has over the years carved out a distinctive personage for himself in politics. With a towering political stature, former Lagos State Governor and one of the national leaders of the former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), now the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, isn’t just a household name; he is an authority in the artery of the nation’s body politics. He may have

Tinubu attained his enviable status through consistent ideological standing; it is certainly a journey of many years of struggle and the grit for change”. As each day passes by, Tinubu thinks new strategy, options and style in both politics and governance. He envisions and muses with deep reflection, the Nigerian problems as well as the best approach possible. He knows politics much as he understands the game of power…” Indeed, Tinubu’s democratic footprints go beyond Nigeria; it spawns the continent, especially in the immediate West Africa Sub-Region where he has helped sustain democracy and popular participation. The virtues of courage, determination, commitment, vision, focus and strong sense of purpose that have characterised Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s politics drove his emergence as one of the country’s most successful governors after Nigeria’s return to democratic governance 13 years ago. His stewardship of Lagos State for 8 years remains a reference for good governance in Nigeria and across the region. A first class financial strategist, Bola Tinubu, overhauled and reformed government and revenue collection in the state, taking Lagos from a yearly

‘

Tinubu remains Nigeria’s most relentless fighter for democracy, justice and the rule of law. No history of modern Nigeria can be complete without giving due regard to his contributions to safeguarding the democratic aspersions of an entire nation and its people, regardless of creed and ethnic background, at a time when those aspirations were deeply threatened.

Internally Generated Revenue of N14.64 billion in 1999 to N60.31 billion in 2006. By March 2007, the state had achieved monthly Internally Generated Revenue of N8.2 billion. His innovations laid the groundwork necessary for Lagos to have the revenue to improve the state and modernize living conditions of all of its inhabitants. An irrepressible fighter for democracy and protection of civil liberties, Bola Tinubu endured political persecution, including numerous arrests and detentions, harassment, constant threats to his life and years in political exile. Despite the wrongs done to him he never has sought retribution. He has forgiven those who did injustice to him. Instead he has chosen to focus on the future by building a democratic and peaceful nation. Leadership newspapers, one of Nigeria’s national dailies, said it best when it conferred on its “Person of the Year” on him in 2011: “Out of the socio-economic and political fog that 2010 represented, at least three great themes emerged: the struggle between the search for democratic legitimacy and subsisting electoral injustices; the tenacious resolve of courageous characters who dared hypocritical authority to prove points

of principle; and a pervasive sense of self-doubt as the nation marked its 50th anniversary of independence.” Tinubu remains Nigeria’s most relentless fighter for democracy, justice and the rule of law. No history of modern Nigeria can be complete without giving due regard to his contributions to safeguarding the democratic aspersions of an entire nation and its people, regardless of creed and ethnic background, at a time when those aspirations were deeply threatened. Today, he remains the most vociferous voice in the call for Nigeria to return to the path of true federalism and for him, the star prize is the enthronement of fiscal federalism that will give governors and Chairmen fully funded mandates and accelerate grassroots development. One of Nigeria’s leading daily newspapers, ThisDay, in 2013 selected Bola Tinubu as its “Man of The Year”. The paper described him as the man who rebuilt Nigerian Opposition. In the words of the Newspaper, Tinubu “from the scratch he built the Action Congress of Nigeria to a formidable political party that within a short time became the major opposition party in Nigeria. He deployed his resources, energy, and political acumen to give the ruling party a fight in the political space”. The altering of Nigeria’s political landscape and balance of power that occurred in November 2013 had Tinubu’s imprimatur all over it. The political merger that produced the All Progressives Congress is Nigeria’s first and Tinubu was its chief architect. Thanks to Bola Tinubu’s untiring political maneuvers and nationalistic approach to politics, Nigeria is now a 2-party state presenting Nigerians with clear choices. This is in tandem with his tradition of selfless sacrifice, political foresight and unequalled commitment to progressive and people oriented politics. Bola Tinubu has served the cause of humanity and expanded the frontiers of freedom and democracy in Nigeria and the African Continent. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is one of Nigeria’s foremost nationalists and champions of federalism. He is one of the few leaders and champions of democracy with the potential and experience to take Nigeria to the next level. Tinubu was not in Lagos on March 29, 1952. He is married to Senator Oluremi Tinubu while the couple are blessed

with children.

He later joined the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) in opposition to the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which SDP candidate, the late Basorun Moshood Abiola won. He was elected as Lagos State Governor in 1999, and served two terms till 2007. As Lagos State governor, Tinubu carried out educational reforms, under which mission schools were returned to their original owners, after decades of government takeover.

Lifetime Achievement Award

Aliko Dangote

Ï A business mogul with passion for jobs creation

ÏÏÏ

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, a northerner, precisely from Kano State, was born on April 10, 1957 into a wealthy Muslim family. Aliko Dangote is the founder and president/chief executive of the Dangote Group, the largest conglomerate in West Africa. His eyes for business started right from when he was young as he recalled: “I can remember when I was in primary school, I would go and buy cartons of sweets (sugar boxes) and I would start selling them just to make money. I was so interested in business, even at that time.” He studied business from the Al Azhar University, Cairo in Egypt and thereafter returned to Nigeria to work with his uncle, Sanusi Abdulkadir Dantata. His uncle later provided him a loan of 500,000 when he was just 21 years old to start a business. The Dangote Group, which started as a small trading firm, was established in 1977. Today, it is a multi-trillion naira conglomerate with many of its operations in Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo. At present, Dangote has enlarged his line of businesses to also cover food processing, cement manufacturing and freight. The Dangote Group also dominates the sugar market in Nigeria and is a major sugar supplier to the country’s soft drink companies, breweries, and confection-

Lifetime Achievement Award

Leo Stan Ekeh

Ï A computer guru with a difference ÏÏÏ

Whenever anyone talks of technology in Nigeria, the name Chief Leo Stan Ekeh must be mentioned. Born on February 22, 1956 in Ubomiri, Mbaitoli in Imo State, Ekeh is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the wellknown indigenous firm, Zinox Technologies Limited, makers of personal computers. The technology guru surprisingly does not have a technology background as he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Panjan University in India and a postgraduate degree in Risk Management from Nottingham University in England. Ekeh began his journey in the technology business when he set up Task Systems Limited which was a pioneer in desktop publishing and computer graphics

in Nigeria. The company was so successful that it is to his credit the computerisation of a high percentage of print media in Nigeria. The astute businessman also founded other companies including ITEC Solutions Limited and Technology Distribution Limited. He then set up Zinox Technologies Limited in October 2001 to produce locally made computers. Always pioneering, his computers were the first Nigerian made computers certified internationally. Zinox was the first computer manufacturer in West Africa to attain the WHQL certification and the ISO 9001: 2000 certification. In October 2013, Zinox Technologies unveiled their first tablet computer called Zipad produced locally at a media conference at the company’s headquarters in Lagos. The company is the

leading computer manufacturing company in Nigeria and is patronised heavily by the Nigerian government especially during elections. Ekeh through his company, Zinox Technologies, has given back to the society in several ways. One of which is the Computerize Nigeria Project which was launched on August 5, 2000. The goal of the project was to sensitise and encourage development in the use of computers by Nigerians. Another such project is the CANi Scheme which was set up to provide quality desktop and laptop computers to the Nigerian populace at below normal market prices with the option of bank financing and a 24 month repayment period. The testimonial of Ekeh’s business genius can be seen in the numerous awards won by both him and his company. They include but are not limited to: Zinox computers as ICT Company

of the Year at the Thisday Awards for Excellence in 2007, Computer Brand of the Year in 2006 at the Nigerian Information Technology and Telecom Awards, 4 doctorate degrees from reputable universities, etc. Ekeh was conferred with the honour of Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) of Nigeria by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2004 and is also a board member of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group. Ekeh also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Zinox Technologies Ltd and Buyright Africa Dotcom Limited. He founded TaskDirect Limited in 1987. Chief Leo Stan Ekeh as a first rate Indian trained economist and risk Manager, was honoured as an ICON of Hope by President Olusegun Obasanjo October 1, 2002 for his sustained pioneering effort in the area of information

Ekeh technology and also as a pride to modern Nigeria. He attended Holy Ghost College, Owerri in Imo State for his secondary education. As a young man, he wanted to own the biggest transport company in Nigeria. He later went to India for his university education, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Punjab

University. Ekeh believes that studying in India was “a great turning point in my life because I found the economy of India a realistic economy”. After his university education in India, Ekeh opted to study at the Cork City University, Ireland, and later transferred to Nottingham University, United Kingdom, earning a degree in Risk Management.
