Economic investment: Rivers, a safe haven–Wike Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

ÏÏÏ

The environment in Rivers state is increasingly becoming safe for economic investors from all over the world. This was declared by the state governor, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.Speaking on Saturday night at a dinner to mark the 20th Anniversary of Air France flying into Port Harcourt International Airport, Governor Wike said that the safe environment was facilitated by the investments of his administration in the maintenance of security.

Governor Wike stated: “Port Harcourt is becoming safer every day because of the commitment of the administration to the security of lives and property.

He used the occasion to commend Rivers people who invested in the economic development of the state, saying, “We will do everything to build on the confidence of investors to do business in Rivers State.” The governor said that attracting investments remained critical to the rapid development of the state because it would generate employment.

It is a priority for us to attract investors for our people to be employed. That is why we make security a priority,” he said, and berated opposition leaders en-

gaged in negative propaganda against the people on security issues.

Governor Wike pointed out that they refused to acknowledge the fact that Rivers was more secure than Lagos, Kogi, Kaduna, Benue, and Kano where kidnappers and murderers, according to him, ravaged urban communities as reported daily. He continued: “Investors are coming to Rivers regularly and they are talking about insecurity. Look at what is happening in Lagos, Kogi, Kaduna, and Kano and you will realise that this state is the safest.”

Speaking at the occasion, the French Consulate, Laurent Poloceaux, said that French businesses were already thriving in Rivers State with schools, businesses, and Air France.

The Air France Manager, Jean Raul Tanzin, said that Air France became the first international airline to fly into the Port Harcourt International Airport 20 years ago, adding that Air France has weathered challenges to deliver quality services to the people of Rivers State and other Niger Delta states.

At the commissioning of the Echelon Height Hotel earlier, Governor Wike said that the hotel constructed by indigenes of the state was an encouragement to other persons to invest their resources in the state.

Alleged Lagos kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike a.k.a Evans (l), with his gang members, being paraded by the Lagos State Police Command… on Sunday.

Evans, arrested kidnap kingpin: I’ve been involved in armed robbery, drug peddling, before kidnapping Joy Anyim

ÏÏÏ

Notorious most wanted kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem George Onwuamadike, alias Evans, has disclosed how he went into high profile kidnapping.

Evans, who was paraded on Sunday along with six other members of his gang at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja by the police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), disclosed that he first went into armed robbery, then drug trafficking and finally veered off into kidnapping.

The names of his six accomplices were given as Felix Chinemerem; Nwosu Chikodi Chukwuma, 42, (Sudo); Suoyo Paul, 42 (Nwana); Ikenna Emeka, 28; Uchechukwu Amadi and Ogechi Amadi.

The suspect, who police de-

scribed as brilliant and rich, said he escaped being killed by his business associate in South Africa where he went to sell drug.

He tells his story: “I was into auto spare parts importation but lost N25 million when Customs seized my goods. From there, I relocated to South Africa, where I started peddling drugs.

“But along the line, my business partner shot me and passed me off as dead. I recuperated in an hospital in Cape Town. I returned to Nigeria and decided to start kidnapping rich men for ransom.”

Evans said he “was among the gang who attempted to kidnap the owner of Young Shall Grow Motors, Chief Vincent Obianodo.

But unfortunately two of my gang members were killed in the operation.”

He said: “I started my own gang, consisting of six men in La-

gos. I direct them to any part of the country to work. They usually go in groups of three or four to execute any mission. Others are recruited according to the particular operations and ones the job is through they are discharged.”

The suspect claimed that he has never killed anyone, adding that most of those killed during operations were done by his gang members.

“Urchman, Uche and Nnamdi were the ones who carried weapons and one Chinedu and a certain Ehis brought contacts and names of victims to be kidnapped. We have kidnapped about 10 people since I started my own gang in 2015. Uyi Technical and Dan Odete who brought N100million and N50million ransom respectively, which were picked up under China’s (another gang leader) reign and I got N10m as my share.”

Adekeke’s death: Drama, disquiet as screening committee disqualifies APC Sodiq Adekunle, Osogbo

ÏÏÏ

The National Screening Committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the Osun West Senatorial bye-election has disqualified one of the two aspirants vying for the ticket, Senator Mudashur Hussein.This, however, resulted into drama as Hussein was said to have resigned since June 6th.

The disqualification notice was contained in a letter signed by chairman of the screening committee, Hon. Sanusi Rikiji, and secretary, Charles Ehavbare, on Sunay in osogbo.

Hussein, according to the committee, was disqualified for his failure to resign from his position as a serving commissioner in the state.Hussein is the allegedly preferred candidate of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and recently appointed as the com-

missioner in the state.

He vowed to register his grievance with the appeal committee of the party and participate in the primary election.It was gathered that Hussein got the governor’s support as a compensation for his loyalty, having conceded his ticket for the second term to late Isiaka Adeleke in 2015.It was also learnt that the governor supported him to reduce the tension ahead of governorship election in the district.

Unconfirmed reports have it that the governor has mobilised party faithful in the affected local governments to secure ticket for Hussein in the election. This is as three of the aspirants stepped down, leaving the younger brother to the late Isiaka Adeleke, Ademola Adeleke, and Senator Mudashir Husein in the race.However, there are

diquiet over the development within the APC caucus in the senatorial district.

Some of the party faithful disagreed with Hussein’s candidacy, arguing that despite serving as a two-term member of the House of Representatives, and once represented the senatorial district , the speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, and the member of the House of Representatives in the district came from Husein’s local government in Ejigbo.

To show their grievances, the aggrieved members and supporters of his late brother’s formed a mammoth crowd to pledge their support for the Adeleke’s family, and Ademola at the screening venue.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the by-election for July 8.

tion, insisting that this is the only way Nigeria would be able to fulfill its destiny.

This is even as former VicePresident, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, says Nigeria’s restructuring would “give greater impetus” to the unity of the country and “consolidate” the thriving democracy.

Recall that the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently said restructuring the country was not a priority for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, adding that due to what the present government inherited, restructuring was not a factor.

Afenifere in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, expressed worry over recent developments

in the country and condemned the position of a section of the country who are shouting down the strident calls of most peoples of Nigeria for restructuring and ignoring the fact that it is only in a restructured Nigeria that equity, justice, fairness, peaceful co-existence, harmony and a progressing country can be guaranteed.

“When we attained independence in 1960, Nigeria’s pot was standing on a tripod. Two legs out of the three are now in a near-war face-off. It would be an illusion of grandeur to think that this pot can continue to stand in this way!

“To this end, we, Afenifere, restate the Yoruba belief that the only way that Nigeria would be able to fulfill its destiny as one country is that all Nigerian nationalities should be able to run their lives according to their civi-

lizations in a restructured polity that practices Federalism in its truest form. That remains the unchangeable preference of the Yoruba nation. If, however, our compatriots from the North and East are not averse to the continuation of Nigeria as a country, the only acceptable path toward this end is political restructuring. Fortunately, we have a roadmap in the recommendations of the last Confab, which must now be pursued and implemented,” the Yoruba socio-political organisation said.

Describing the June 12, 1993 election as the cleanest election ever held in the nation’s history, Afenifere noted that in the last 18 years, the country has fumbled and wobbled pretending that its unity is settled.

“We have fumbled and wobbled through eighteen years of pre-

Forex operators task CBN on sustainable naira growth Motolani Oseni

ÏÏÏ The Association of Bureaux

De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) has advised the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on immediate steps to be taken to ensure that ongoing recovery of the naira against dollar is sustained.

President of the association, Aminu Gwadade, on Sunday, said the CBN should review BDCs dollar buying rate downwards from N360 to N350/$1 and enhance security surveillance at the borders to checkmate illegal cash movement that has dire consequences on naira’s stability.

Gwadabe said the standard/ average trade margin for BDCs across the world is 12 per cent and reviewing the rate to N350/$1 is less than three per cent for Nigerian operators.

“The CBN should be proactive enough to quickly review the BDC buying rate so as to bring

the foreign exchange transfer rate down and boost market stability.

The BDC rate should be brought down to N350/$1 for now and see the positive impact on the local currency,” he said.

Gwadabe said the rate challenges faced by BDCs, if not checked, would trigger a liquidity crisis that may derail the ongoing recovery of the naira against the dollar, adding that the BDCs will continue to support CBN’s determination to achieve exchange rate stability, and strengthen the value of the local currency.

He said downward review of the BDCs rate is critical at present, as it will keep BDCs afloat to meet increasing forex demand at the retail end of the market.

“For now, the parallel market operators are taking over our business because BDCs rates and their selling rates are the same and this has to change,” he said.

He also called on the CBN to

increase the volume of Personal Travel Allowances (PTAs) from $4,000 to $8,000; Business Travel Allowances (BTAs) from $5,000 to $10,000; school fees from $5,000 to $20,000 and medicals from $5,000 to $15,000 quarterly to deepen liquidity in the market.

Gwadade, said implementing these recommendations will help to stop a new wave of volatility building up in the forex market over parallel market/BDCs rate convergence. Both the parallel market and BDCs rate are trading around N360/$1, and the BDCs buy the International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs) proceeds from the CBN at N360/$1.

He disclosed that with forex transfer rate at N375/$1, which is N15 higher than N360/$1 cash rate, rent seekers are mopping up dollars and moving them to Dubai, China and Lebanon from Continued on page 12

tending that our unity is settled, mouthing hackneyed phrases like “indissoluble union” and “non-negotiable unity”, while the country falls more and more into pieces on a daily basis,” the group said.

Afenifere also expressed worry over the October 1 quit order to Ndigbo by a coalition of Northern youth groups, who Afenifere claims, have also secured endorsement from the Northern Elders Forum, saying such actions further signals danger to the unity of the nation.

“We now mark another June 12 amidst an October 1 quit order to Ndigbo by Arewa youths who have also secured endorsement from the Northern Elders Forum, with the Arewa Consultative Forum conceding what they called “the frustrations of the youth” with Ndigbo.

“While the primary targets of the Arewa youths’ quit order are the Ndigbo residents in the North, we are not deceived that when the rubber hits the road, the Almajaris and the Mujaheedin would pick and choose among all Southerners in the North for the baying of blood.

“This is why the Yoruba nation is warning that this is a déjà vu and that no country has ever survived two civil wars. We recall how events cascaded in the 1960’s from the moment emergency rule was imposed on the Western Region until war broke out in 1967.

“The same arrogance of power, insensitivity and atrocious impunity that were at play then are still very much at play today. The same section of Nigeria that rejected the outcome of Aburi is still shouting down the strident calls of most peoples of Nigeria for restructuring today, because command and control is more important to them than equity, justice, fairness, peaceful co-existence, harmony and a progressing country.

“A climate of fear, apprehension and anxiety now pervades the country as no one knows what can happen, with the absence of a leadership that can rise up to the occasion to save the Republic,” Afenifere said.

Also speaking in a goodwill message to Nigerians on the occasion of the anniversary of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said the unity and comradeship displayed

by Nigerians on that election day are “watershed in the history of the nation and it behooves on all Nigerians to work hard to ensure that the nation never again repeats that painful experience.”

In a statement on Sunday, Atiku’s media office quoted him as saying that the annulled election and its aftereffects cannot be forgotten because of the unity displayed by Nigerians.

The Waziri Adamawa recalled

that June 12 traumatised Nigerians and made some people to question the unity and oneness of the country whether true democracy can take its root.

“I commend Nigerians for moving beyond the challenges thrown up by June 12 and putting in place a democratic system of government that has lasted for 18 years.

“It is a testimony to the innate democratic nature of Nigerians that today, democracy is flourishing in the country and restructuring as being demanded by some well-meaning Nigerians would further consolidate democracy and give greater impetus to the unity and development of the country.

“Restructuring of the country would lay a solid foundation for prosperity and self-reliant development across the country by introducing healthy competition among the constituent parts of the Federation based on the principle of comparative advantage,” he said.

The former Vice President described late MKO Abiola, the leading personality of the June 12 struggle, as a “National Hero and Patriot” deserving of accolades and honour by Nigerians, calling on the Federal Government to pay the necessary tribute to the late Chief Abiola by naming a befitting national institution after him.

In the view of the national coordinator of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, restructuring Nigeria for progress and prosperity is not negotiable, saying that nothing positive can be achieved by the ruling class unless they open their hearts to the restructuring of the country.

Speaking on the occasion of the anniversary of the June 12 in a telephone chat, Adams noted that the core of the speech of the winner of the June 12 election, Chief MKO Abiola during his famous Epetedo declaration centered on the restructuring of the country for the purpose of development.

He said: “Even Abiola as the symbol of June 12, if you read through the Epetedo declaration, he was telling the whole world that Nigeria needs to be restructured, that without restructuring that there is no way he can galvanise Nigeria in the proper way.

“So, I think that most of the agitation about June 12 should be tailored towards restructuring of the country, because the problems facing the country right now there is no solution that any opinion moulder or political player can proffer more than restructuring. That is the only way to save this country, anything short of restructuring we are still playing towards crisis for the country. I think anything about June 12 Continued on page 7

FG lied against Rivers on Paris Club refund, Wike alleges Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

ÏÏÏ Rivers State Governor,

Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared that the Federal Government did not disburse N34 billion to Rivers State as Paris Fund Refund, alleging that the level of lies, deceit, and negative propaganda by the Federal Government had reached an embarrassing level.

Consequently, Governor Wike challenged the Federal Government to publish the account where it paid N34 billion in respect of the Paris Fund Refund due to Rivers State.

Speaking during the First Session of the 8th Synod Thanksgiving Service of the Anglican Province of Niger Delta, in Port Harcourt, on Sunday, Governor Wike said: “As I speak to you, no N34 billion has been paid to Rivers State. I challenge the Fed-

Ï Says FG did not disburse N34bn to Rivers

eral Government to show Nigerians the account they paid the N34 billion.”

He said that the Federal Government released N14 billion as Paris Fund Refund to Rivers State.

According to him, after protests that the state had been short-changed, the Federal Government released another N3 billion to the state, totaling N17 billion.

The governor explained that the state government judiciously deployed the N17 billion and monitored the use of the local government funds for the payment of outstanding salaries.

Governor Wike accused the Federal Government of deliberately short-changing Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states by ignoring the approved payment plan.

He said: “I read on the

Gov. Wike pages of newspapers that Rivers State received the highest amount of the refund of the Paris Club to the tune of N34 billion. I want to say categorically, that is not correct.

“The President approved that every state and Local Government should receive 50 per cent. They

came to say that they cannot pay 50 per cent, but they can pay 25per cent. Now, the 25 per cent of the 50 per cent, they paid Rivers State Government and local government areas was N14 billion.

They short-paid Rivers State, they shortpaid Akwa Ibom, and they short-paid Delta States, which are PDP states.”

The governor added: “We are the only three states that were short-changed. They paid all other states completely. So we started fighting. We raised alarm and they said we still have N3 billion.

“For the remaining of the 25 per cent, they called a meeting. They now said, we cannot pay you that 25 per cent fully. We will pay you part of the 25 per cent

ÏÏÏ The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, has refuted reports circulating online alleging that the Department of State Security (DSS) allegedly found Nine Million US dollars in his home.

A statement signed by Mr. Awassam Bassey, the Senior Special Assistant (Media) to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, said the report is false and fake news

stories sponsored by those who want to smear Justice Onneghen’s name.

“CJN advises the public to disregard these infantile lies most probably intended to impugn the good name of His Lordship the CJN and distract him from the programmes which he recently introduced and has started implementing to reform the Judiciary as the third arm of government.”

“The truth, which is already in the public domain, is that the DSS has never raided the home of His Lordship the Honour-

able Chief Justice of Nigeria, the Hon Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen GCON; not recently and certainly not in the October 2016 invasion of the homes of some Judicial Officers in the country.

“It therefore beats the imagination why anyone would go out of their way to concoct and fabricate stories which are obvious falsehood,” the statement asserted The CJN assured Nigerians that the sponsors of these fake news stories and their campaign to smear

his name will not distract, discourage or slow the reforms he has begun implementing.

Justice Onnoghen also advised online publishers not to allow their platforms to be used as a medium for publication of fake news which does the country more harm than good in the eyes of the international community.

He assured Nigerians that the Judiciary under his watch will continue to discharge it’s responsibility as the last hope of all men, not just the common man.

If they pay part now, part in September and pay part in December, then it will mean that they have paid Rivers State Government, N34 billion,” the governor complained.

The governor stressed: “If they say that we are entitled to N34 billion, okay.

Being entitled and paying the money are two different things.”

He assured the people of the state that the Paris Fund Refund would be used to pay for the Garrison-Trans Amadi-Elelenwo road, the Woji-Akpajo Bridge and road, the Ele-

lenwo-Akpajo Road and other key projects across the state.

“They should come to Rivers State and see what we are doing with our money in comparison with the ‘change’ states.

Speaking further, Governor Wike charged Christians to actively participate in the 2019 General elections to determine their leaders, insisting that Christians must discard the lukewarm attitude to governance.

He urged Church leaders to mobilise their members to register in the course of the ongoing voters’ registration.

Also speaking, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, called on the Federal Government to reconsider and give attention to the need to urgently restructure the nation so as to put an end to various agitations currently going on.

Comrade Frank stated this in a statement on Sunday, adding that restructuring does not mean breakup. He appealed to all the regional leaders and their youth leaders to give peace a chance and refrain from making comments that could anger region against each other.

According to the APC Deputy Publicity Secretary, the recent Kaduna declaration by some Northern youths on Ndigbo living in the North to quit the region had been widely condemned, therefore other regions should take the path of peace instead of making comments capable of creating tension across the country.

“It is now very clear from different utterances’ coming from regional leaders that most people are tired of the current system.

Therefore, for us to continue to keep Nigeria together, Nigerian government must restructure the system.

“We must also learn quickly from what happened in Rwanda and Sudan. That is why I am appealing to the government to reconsider the voices of

most Nigerians calling for restructuring,” he said.

While declaring every region in the country important in the Nigerian project and to keep the nation together, Frank also urged the nation’s youths not to allow themselves to be used by “some politicians disguising in the name of fighting regional course.”

Meanwhile, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, on Sunday said the annulled June 12 election is not only the mother of democracy in Nigeria, but also in the African continent as a whole.

He described the election as a positive reference point for free, fair and peaceful election in Nigeria in particular and the whole of Africa in general.

The Lagos Assembly Speaker said this in a statement to commemorate the 24th Anniversary of the election, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Razak, noting that although the election was the best yet in Nigeria and Africa, but was annuled by the military junta led by General Ibrahim Babangida.

“It was the freest, fairest and most peaceful election in the history of democracy not only in Nigeria but also in Africa. It’s the harbinger of peaceful, free and fair electoral process in Nigeria.

It is thus worthy of celebration, “Rt. Hon. Obasa said.

Obasa urged Nigerians to imbibe the lessons provided by the symbolism of the election.

We are confident of INEC registration, ANN assures members ÏÏÏA

new political association fast gaining ground among professionals and technocrats, the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), has assured its teeming members that it is confident of scaling the INEC registration hurdle. The assurance is coming against the backdrop of a section of its members who were said to be wondering why the association was not among the new five political parties the Independnt National Electoral Commission (INEC) registered last week.

The national coordinator of the group, Dr. Jay Osi Samuels, in a chat with newsmen,

said there was no cause for alarm as the association is on the verge of meeting all the necessary requirements needed to be registered as a political party.

He said the newly registered five political parties had been on their own registration process since last year; hence the reason they were the first batch to be announced by INEC as registered political parties.

“Our members have nothing to worry about,” Dr. Samuels assured, stating: “We are confident of being registered as a political party. Our name, acronym and slogan have been

approved and these are major steps towards being registered.

“Those who have just been registered have been on it since last year. That was why they were first to be registered

by INEC this year. Therefore, our name will soon be announced as a registered political party after all the necessary documentation has been concluded.”

Dr. Samuels, a Harvardtrained medical doctor, added that INEC is under statutory obligation to register any association or group that meets the criteria of being registered as a political party. He, therefore, advised members to remain

calm and continue to spread the message of “technoticianism,” which is the ideology of the group.

Meanwhile, the group has called for peaceful coexistence among the nation’s ethnic groups. Reacting to a recent ultimatum given by some Arewa youth groups to Igbos to leave the northern part of the country, Dr. Samuels said while the ANN understands the ethnic emotions that often rule the country, war mongering and mutual suspicions amongst the nation’s ethnic groups remain ill-winds that will blow no one any good.

Environmental engineers decry use of charcoal for cooking Ben Nwachukwu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

The chairman of the Nigerian Institution of Environmental Engineers, Abuja chapter, Engr. Chika Fredericks, has condemned the use of charcoal by high and low income earners for cooking in the country, arguing that such habit encourages massive felling of trees.

Fredricks attributed the negative practice to the un-affordability of cooking gas by most families, stressing that coking with charcoal is harmful to the environmental.

The environmental engineer made the observation in Abuja during the 2017 World Environmental Day, tagged ‘Connecting People to Nature - I am with Nature.’

She called on government to jettison grid system in the generation of electricity to discourage household from relying on firewood for cooking.

She however frowned at the situation where most household sink boreholes close to septic tanks, describing it as unhealthy and unacceptable, hence the need to check and regulate the indiscriminate and proliferation of borehole

in most semi urban centers in Nigeria.

Her words: “If we plan well and remove all the bottlenecks, we will get everything right as a nation. Water; cooking gas, and like I said earlier, electricity, people are also looking for heat. They can get the heat to cook from electricity; instead of burning charcoal, we can get it right through constant supply of electricity.”

Engr. Fredericks explained that it is not that difficult to achieve the aforesaid, stressing “Some countries are looking for other nations to buy the power they generate. We can do it, but you know what?

We can achieve constant electricity in clusters and not the gigantic grid system we are presently grappling with, where one man calls it a shut for several millions of people.

“We have to bring in competition, we have to introduce energy mix; hydro here, solar there, winds the other side and dam there. So that when I am in charge of solar for instance, I will know that when I fail to satisfy my clients, the hydro or dam person will capitalize on my failure to take over my clients. Therefore I would always be up and doing.”

the Lagos state police headquarters, Ikeja, recently, after a legal adviser (names withheld) openly accused his client of plotting to kill his opponent by paying him N0.2million. The lawyer, who claimed to have spent about 27 years in the bar, alleged before bewildered policemen attached to Inspector-General of Police Tactical Squad from Abuja, that his client, the General Manager of a micro finance bank in Apapa, Lagos, gave him advance payment of N200,000 with a firm promise of advancing more to him after assassinating his opponent, a Lagos based business man.

Police sources said the revelation came up while the IGP’s tactical team was interrogating the business man, Lucky Adimike, based on a petition written by the General Manager of Wealth

Stream Microfiance bank, Goddy Ogbogu.

Mr. Adimike had earlier dragged the General Manager of the micro finance bank to the Federal Anti-robbery squad, Adeniji Adele, Lagos allegedging that he diverted his $140,000.00 after a business transaction.

He further alleged that he instructed the microfinance bank to transfer the sum of $140,000.00 to his business partner in China in 2014 but the microbank failed to carry out his instructions only to turn around and accuse the second generation bank of failure to adhere to instructions to halt the transfer.

According to him; the Managing Director of the Microfinance bank converted the money into personal use only to make frivolous allegations against him and the second generation bank.

The case, which lingered for years after being inves-

tigated by different police formations including the Federal Anti-Robbery squad, FEDSARS, Adeniji-Adele, Lagos, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lagos, and the Public Petitions Committee of the House of Representative, came up again after the managing director of the micro finance bank petitioned the IGP, accusing the owner of the money, Lucky Adimike, of being involved in dubious arraignment with the bank to frame him up.

It was learned that based on these allegations by both parties, the IGP’s tactical team waded into the matter.

The case, however, took a dramatic turn after one of the counsel’s hired by the managing director of the microfinance bank, openly accused his client of paying him to assassinate the businessman, Lucky Adimike.

According to police

sources, the lawyer stated categorically before policemen that: “My client, Godwin Ogbogu, advanced the sum of N200,000.00 to me as logistics for the said assassination and when it failed, he flew into Abuja to know why it did not take place as planned. I started playing along with him in the presence of two witnesses and informed him that the assassins insisted on additional N1.5m before they strike. I also informed the would-be victim of this ugly development.’’

When contacted, the legal adviser vehemently refused to comment on the development but referred our reporter to those investigating the case. However, the businessman, Lucky Adimike stated: “It was shocking to hear this revelation by his own legal adviser.

The federal government is poised to assist the Centre for Management Development (CMD) to increase its capability for institutional capacity and human resources development to aid effective delivery of government’s economic plans and national management objectives.

Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, told staff of the centre at the weekend in Lagos that Nigeria is blessed with a lot of human and natural resources which need better management to harness their full potential. As an institution set up by government to provide management training the CMD has an important role to play in improving the quality of management in Nigeria.

He said he was at the institution to see for himself the facilities at the Centre and to encourage the staff to brace up for the responsibilities ahead in achieving the successful implementation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

“We came in as a government determined to change Nigeria, determined to change the way things are being done, to change Nigeria from a nation of consumers to a nation of producers. So we want fundamental change and we have been working to put together

a series of policies to achieve that; and that is what is contained in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan,” he explained.

He explained that the ERGP is a national plan requiring contributions from everybody for its successful implementation. As a parastatal under the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, the CMD has a critical role in the ERGP. “As the coordinating Ministry we have to be at the vanguard of its implementation. I therefore want everybody in the Centre for Management Development to familiarize themselves with the details of the Plan and to take responsibility for promoting and assisting in the implementation of the Plan,” he added.

In order to achieve the objectives of the Plan, he emphasized the urgent need to develop institutional capacity as well as capacity for human resources management.

He acknowledged the challenges faced by the CMD, and promised to help them to meet some of these challenges. However, he advised the institution to focus on making better use of the extensive facilities which he had just inspected.

With better usage of their facilities, he felt that the CMD has the potential to generate enough revenue to meet all their operational needs, and indeed be a net revenue earner for the government.

Politics Patrick Okohue In 2015 when President Goodluck Jonathan handed over power to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, after 16 interrupted years of the rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), following their defeat in a keenly contested election, many Nigerians jumped for joy celebrating the fact that Nigeria has come of age having for the first time been able to transfer power from the ruling government to the opposition, calling it historic.

As much as that was history, there was indeed another history that Nigeria had made 22 years earlier. It was on June 12, 1993 when Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, popularly called Chief MKO Abiola won what has become the freest, fairest election in the history of Nigeria.

That election entered the history book as one in which the Ogun State born business magnate won landslide in all regions of the country on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), beating his sole opponent, Alhaji Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC) even in his home state of Kano.

It was also one election where no one cared about the religion of the candidates, as Abiola a Muslim from the Southern part of the country had his running mate, Babagana Kingibe, another Muslim from the North and it was not an issue to the voters.

The election itself was unique in much sense, as the National Electoral Commission (NEC) under the leadership of Prof. Humphery Nwosu introduced the Option A4 voting model which was the first of its kind in the country and ensured that the election was very transparent.

The outcome of that election though later annulled by then Military President Ibrahim Babangida after partial announcement of the results remains a reference point in the nation’s electoral history.

However, the annulment of the results of the election has remained till date one incident that has thrown the nation into more political turmoil than any other. This is because following the annulment, Abiola convinced that he won the election and propped on by some of his supporters declared himself president and was consequently arrested and kept in prison custody for several years until he died.

The arrest and detention of Abiola was like the elixir required to kick-start a full blown agitation for the military to hands-off the reign of power and hand-over to the winner of the election.

The agitation which was mostly a South West thing saw many prominent persons from the region vehemently standing up to the military insisting that the right thing must be done.

The birth of National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) which was the umbrella body for agitators of the actualisation of June 12, later led to a confrontation with the military with many fatal consequences, but also forcing Babangida to step aside and hand over power to an Interim Government led by former Chairman of the UAC, Chief Ernest Shonekan.

When General Sani Abacha, the Chief of General Staff shoved Shonekan aside to take over the reign of government and subsequently arrested Abiola against all expectations, it became clear the battle line between agitators for June 12 and the Military government was going to be long drawn.

Abacha’s government was brutal and it saw to the assassination of some prominent June 12 agitators including the wife of Abiola, Kudirat and Alfred Rewane and the attempted assassination of many others like Abraham Adesanya among others.

The fatal turn of events saw many agita-

tors sneaking out of the country to run for safety through what later became popular as NADECO route.

The death of Abiola in July of 1998, a month after the sudden death of Abacha and the enthronement of Abdulsalami Abubakar as the new head of state and the continued pressure from the NADECO group for the validation of the June 12 mandate was one reason why many frontline politicians and ex-military top brass had to seek out former Head of State, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo.

Obasanjo is a man with wide acceptance across the political, ethnic, religious divide and even among the top military hierarchy, from the same state as Abiola to take over the reign of power. This is despite that many people of the Yoruba stock never wanted Obasanjo as the President as they mostly queued behind Chief Olu Falaye who was a coalition candi-

date of the All Peoples Party (APP) and the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

The emergence of Obasanjo, a fellow Yoruba man like Abiola, who was a product of national compromise, as no other tribe fielded candidate in deference for the sacrifice of Abiola was one government that was expected to celebrate Abiola and imortalise him because of the sacrifice he paid not only for democracy to return to Nigeria, but also that a fellow Yoruba man was given the freeway into Aso Rock, but it never was.

Throughout the eight years of Obasanjo, and despite the agitations from many quarters for the imortalisation of Abiola, the Obasanjo government maintained a sealed lip and ignored the agitations.

Though agitations for the imprtalisation of Abiola continued even after the government of Obasanjo, the attempt by Jonathan to heed

If Nigerians are to really benefit from June 12 we must try as much as possible to prevent all these ex-military men from taking over the political terrain from all of us. They are the cause of all the problems we have today, they are the cause of corruption, they are the cause of everything that is bad and they are forcing themselves in again, fanning the embers of disintegration, the embers of one ethnic group against the other

the call by naming the University of Lagos after him was met with so much resistance and confrontation that the government had to rescind its decision and reversed itself on the issue.

Since then, the agitation for him to be imortalised has gone down and seems only to be mounted at anniversaries to mark the day.

Despite this, many people believe that the problem of the country and the reason the country has really not made much progress was because of the level of injustices across the land citing the case of Abiola as case in point.

Speaking on the issue, former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, who himself has also been at the forefront of the agitation for imortalising Abiola, said one of the problems making Nigeria to remain backward was because of the level of injustices in the land, advising that if indeed the nation wants to make progress it must retrace its steps and right some wrongs beginning from imortalsing Abiola.

He wondered why a nation that will be so proud to be celebrating 18 years of its democratic governance will refuse to acknowledge the man who laid down his life to make that democracy possible, “We all go about with raised shoulders enjoying the so called democracy, but the man who paid the supreme price we even don’t remember him, our children knows nothing about him.

“Look, there are many 30 year old university graduates in Nigeria today who can’t tell you a single thing about MKO Abiola. They don’t even have an idea who MKO was and when you mention MKO, to them you just mentioned a name like any other, it has no meaning.

“There is no civic, no government in our schools to teach our children about their society, there were things we grew up with. In my primary school, LA Central School, Epe, you must know the names of all the commissioners of the state to pass civic.

“We knew the names of the governors, the governors of the states of the federation in primary school, though there were only 12 states then, not 36, but you must learn those things, and how old were we then? I left primary school when I was just a little over 11 years old.

“In 1993 we had the freest and fairest election in the history of Nigeria and that election was won not by the contribution of one region or a few states, but the entire entity called Nigeria and that man was made to die on the ‘cross’, today with some semblance of democracy, because that man died and we have refused to even acknowledged his contributions, we don’t even mention his name.

“We see some of his children suffering in the midst of plenty and some of us have amassed so much wealth all from this democratic governance and then we are expecting that nation to prosper and grow. Personally, I don’t think God is as unperturbed as that, it is difficult,” he said.

While questioning the rationale behind the government refusal to imortalise Abiola, Ikuforiji asked, “as a people, what are our values, how honest are we with one another?”

According to him, “Those who questioned the rationale behind naming the University of Lagos after MKO, they have their reasons, and some of us who believe that there is the need to immortalize him because his contributions to the coming of this democratic experience is so CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Political elites responsible for Nigeria’s socio-economic woes – Satumari As the nation marks 18 years of unbroken democratic dispensation in its political history and two years of APC in the wheel of power, political gladiators, civil society groups, the media and other critical stakeholders are divided on the journey so far.

While loyalists of the incumbent administration praise government for its achievements within the period under scrutiny, referencing security and fight against corruption as the most visible deliverables of the administration, some others believe that the only thing the APC led administration has bequeathed to majority of Nigerians are perennial rise in the prices of staple food, none payment of salaries, excruciating hunger, agonising pain, and continuous loss of jobs in all sectors of the nation’s economy.

They further argue that the current regime is shielding Fulani cattle headers that go about unleashing terror on innocent and defenseless farmers and citizens across the federation and that they have penchant for disobeying court orders as well as trampling on the freedom of the press.

Nonetheless, few other Nigerians are indifference about APC’s achievements in the last two years, noting that though there is need for improvement, eighteen years of unbroken democracy is something worth celebrating.

Giving credence to the foregoing the view of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate for the Askira/ Uba-Hawul Federal Constituency of Borno State in the 2015 general election, Mr. Kudla Milnda Satumari who argue that Rome was not built in a day and therefore there is every need to celebrate the nation’s 18 years of unbroken democratic dispensation and two years of APC in the saddle of leadership.

His words, “The APC led government may not have satisfied the expectation of electorate who voted for them in the 2015 election, nonetheless, the administration has recorded some remarkable achievements, even though there is still room for improvement. Their campaign promises were based on three cardinal points, which are decimating the Boko Haram scourge, fight against corruption and the economy.

“But two years down the line, the administration has succeeded in degrading the capacity of Boko Haram terrorist to unleash terror on innocent citizens in the North Eastern Nigeria. To this end, the displaced persons have started going back to their communities in the area because the soldiers are winning the war.

“Before now, a substantial number of local government areas in the North East particularly in Borno State where I hail from were under the control of insurgents, but today they have been librated and people are going back to their homes in their numbers.

“Secondly, they promised that they are going to fight corruption and they are doing that to the best of their ability, even though there is disagreement on the mode of the fight, the fact remains that government is fighting graft. Therefore, we can say that they are living up to their campaign promises, but in the area of economy, I must confess that they had failed woefully.

“This is because businesses are clos-

Kudla Milnda Satumari, a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Managing Director of Aerokeys Nigeria Limited was the PDP candidate for the Askira/ Uba-Hawul Federal Constituency of Borno State in the 2015 General Election.

In this interview with MATHEW DADIYA he said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government has scored very low in the economic front. He, however noted that the political elites and not political parties are to be blamed for the nation’s socio-political woes, stressing that if PDP members in APC are withdrawn from the tripod holding the party, it would crumble to the floor. He equally spoke about his future political aspirations, the president’s health, fight against graft among other national issues.

ing shops due to inconsistency in government policies; take the foreign exchange policy for instance, it was not favourable to foreign investors especially those in the aviation industry and that led to so many foreign airlines closing their operation in Nigeria because they found it difficult to repatriate their funds or even access adequate FOREX for their daily operations as a result of the inconsistent

FOREX regime in the country.”

The political gladiator however, blamed the indifference and indolence of Nigerians on holding leaders accountable for the continuous impunity in the political circle, positing that political elites and not political parties are the problems of Nigeria.

He attributed the mass exodus of politicians from one political platform to the

If you remove PDP members that jumped ship before and after 2015 election to APC, the tripod holding the party would crumble to the floor. Therefore you cannot begin to listen to the accusation and counter accusation that PDP’s misrule or APC’s incapability is responsible for the recession.

Is it not the same politicians in the PDP that are now in APC? So it is not about platform but about the political elites. They are always shifting base to achieve their parochial interests

other each time the election does not favour them or there is a new transition, to the desperation of the political class to always continue to remain relevant in the sharing of the nation’s resources.

He nevertheless argued that those who are blaming PDP or APC for the economic recession and other backwardness that has kept Nigeria perpetually underdeveloped are wrong, as it is the elites who often orchestrated these problems and afterwards change platform to achieve certain parochial end.

According to him, “It is the same political elites that were governors, parliamentarians, presidents, ministers, party leaders in the sixteen years of PDP that has congregated in another platform called APC to continue to destroy the fabrics of our democratic journey.

“If you remove PDP members that jumped ship before and after 2015 election to APC, the tripod holding the party would crumble to the floor. Therefore you cannot begin to listen to the accusation and counter accusation that PDP’s misrule or APC’s incapability is responsible for the recession.

“Is it not the same politicians in the PDP that are now in APC? So it is not about platform but about the political elites. They are always shifting base to achieve their parochial interests and until Nigerians come to terms with this facts they would continue to manipulate the system to their favour.”

The aviation consultant also explained that the Supreme Court’s decision on the crisis rocking PDP would determine which platform he is going to seek election in 2019 to represent his constituency in the National Assembly as his constituents are already mounting pressure on him to present himself for the coming election.

“I am always very careful not to promise what I know I cannot fulfill, because I am not a typical Nigerian politician who view politics as a profession and can do any unthinkable thing to get political power. But I am a professional in politics who play politics with sincerity and fairness because I have a profession and business to fall back on when the political maneuvering does not favour my aspiration and ambition.

“Meanwhile, as I speak to you, leaders of thought in my constituency are beginning to mount pressure on me to contest the coming election. But the Supreme Court’s decision on the crisis bedeviling our party would inform my decision on the next line of action.

“The pressure from my constituents is not unconnected with the fact that though I lost the 2015 election, I still went back to fulfill most of my campaign promises to them. I built a primary school for them, and not fewer than 1500 students from the constituency in various universities and polytechnics are beneficiaries of my scholarship scheme.

“This is in addition to those that come for medical bills, school fees, and other personal problems.

Lawyers’ group condemn results of Kano Assembly passes 15 Bills in two years, says Speaker Benue LG polls, seeks cancelation Yakubu Salisu, Kano

Patrick Okohue The Lawyers of Conscience, a group of lawyers united to fight social ills in the society has thrown its weight behind the call by the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) for the cancellation of the results of the local council polls in Benue State as released by the state Independence Electoral Commission (BSIEC) on the 4th of June, 2017.

In the result, the All Progressives Congress(APC) won all the 23 local government chairmanship seats in the elections and all the councilorship positions in the 276 wards of the state with almost all the APC candidates returned unopposed.

While condemning the process and the outcome of the said Local Council elections in Benue State, the group in a release signed by National Coordinator, Mr. Benedict Ezeagu, stated categorically that the results of their investigation revealled that both the pre-election process and the final results released by the BSIEC were fraught with manipulations and irregularities, which were allegedly masterminded by the agents of APC state government led by Governor Samuel Ortom.

“The process of clearing/accreditation of candidates of the other political parties in the

ORTOM

State for the said elections and the voting process were criminally hijacked and manipulated by the agents of the Benue State government for the pre-determined outcome. Thus, the results released by the BSIEC are not the true representation of the Benue State voters’ choices. The results can best be described as ‘hijacked and robbed mandates’.

“We call on the relevant authorities at the Federal and State levels to join in the condemnation of this criminally stagemanaged local council elections which was marred by massive disenfranchisement and electoral travesty as well as urge the CSOs and the electorates in

Benue State to stand up together to resist this brazen denial of their franchise and the primitive leadership impositions which constitute an affront on the national democratisation efforts.

“We also encourage all the affected members and candidates of the unjustly excluded and cheated political parties to approach the appropriate law courts to seek redress, and such candidates should count on the unalloyed support of our organization.

“Consequently, we demand for the outright cancellation of the said local council elections results released by the shamefully partisan BSIEC which ought to be an independent and impartial umpire that should not allow itself to be used by the usurpers and desperate state governments or the ruling political party that wants to win local council elections at all costs against the democratic principle of free and fair election.

“A truly independent electoral body ought not to take side with a particular political party against the others and should not do anything that will provoke the wrath of the electorates to take laws into their hands thereby disrupting our fledgling democracy. That is the only way to guarantee good governance and ensure peace and development, especially at the grassroots level,” he said.

malnutrition which was threatening their lives.

“The first trailer load of food I sent to the camp found its way into Yola market, a bitter experience that compelled me to brand the second trailer load of food and relief materials that I sent to the camp.”

On what he intends to achieve if elected in 2019 to represent his people in the National Assembly, he said that he is going to ensure that there is a legal frame work that will provide access to credit at a single digit to players in the aviation industry in addition to his constituency projects.

“You are a journalist, so do your investigation. There is nowhere in the world where airline operators declare profit above fifteen per cent of their investment. But no bank in Nigeria gives you any facility with less than 25 per cent interest rate. So if a player in the aviation industry in Nigeria has to take loan from bank on the aforesaid percent, he is going to operate at a loss at the end of the day. Therefore, something must be done by government either through direct policy or legislation.

“In Ethiopia for instance; the

aviation industry is one of the greatest contributors to their Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Consequently, Nigeria must begin to look beyond oil by developing other sectors like aviation, tourism and agriculture.

“Thank God, the Acting President is already doing something about the ‘ease of doing business’ in Nigeria. It is a welcome development, government need to create good atmosphere for businesses to thrive so as to attract foreign direct investment.

Investors only invest their money where there is stability and consistency in government policy to safeguard their investment.”

On the President’s ill health and the possibility of Umaru Yar’adua’s saga playing out again, he enjoined Nigerians to pray for the President’s quick recovery, nothing that the Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo is doing very well and therefore, there is every need to support him to do more.

“Those who predict a repeat of the crisis that heralded the Yar’Adua era do not understand the peculiarity of Nigerian phenomenon. Don’t forget that we had fought a civil war and we are still coexisting peacefully as

one nation. No parochial interest of a group or section is capable of disintegrating Nigeria.

“The President is sick just like any other person and therefore, we should pray for him and not insinuate that he is incapacitated. Besides, he transmitted a letter to the National Assembly transferring state powers to the Vice President who has been discharging the responsibility well, so the question of vacuum, incapacitation or imaginary crisis does not even arise as the President had complied with the law, unlike the former Presidents before him.

“When the Yar’Adua crisis was about to engulf the nation, there was the famous doctrine of necessity that salvaged the situation. Before the 2015 General Elections, there were predictions of doom, even from foreign countries, but former President Goodluck Jonathan just handed over power to the opposition and averted that predicted blood bath. So I can assure you that nothing of that nature will happen, because Nigerians have the capacity to be and do whatever they want to be or do at any particular time, we are blessed people,” he cßoncluded.

Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Kabiru Rurum has disclosed that the legislature has passed 15 bills since its inauguration on June 8, 2015.

The Speaker made the disclosure at a news briefing in Kano to mark two years of the 8th Assembly.

According to him, all the bills were focused on making impact on the lives of the citizens and that five of the bills were sponsored by private individuals.

Rurum stated that some of the bills had since become laws after they were assented to by Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje.

Among the bills passed were the Kano State Contributory Health Care Scheme, Kidnapping, Abduction and Forced Labour Amendment Bill, Metropolitan Transport Authority Bill.

Other bills passed include: Land Use Charge Bill; Tax and Levy Bill; Universal Basic Education Bill; Local Government Amendment Bill and Pension and Gratuity Amendment Bill, among others.

He further disclosed that other bills sponsored by individuals, and motions presented by

GANDUJE

the legislators, were at various stages of committees’ scrutiny.

The Speaker, who represents Rano Constituency, added that the scrutiny was to ensure that whatever law was enacted benefits the people.

According to him, some of the bills before the House include Local Products Patronage Bill; Persons with Disabilities Bill, Private Health Institutions Management Board bill among others.

He stressed that the legislature and the executive had maintained cordial working relationship, and commended the governor for executing projects that had enhanced the living standard of rural dwellers in the state.

huge that we cannot just sweep it under the carpet, we have our reasons.

“Something need to be done. We need to be a just nation and you cannot be a just nation on the platform of falsehood and half truths, it will not survive.

“I don’t want to make suggestions on how he can be immortalised, because many suggestions have been made, but it doesn’t appear we have the political will to get anything done, if the political will is there it will be done and it will be properly done, so making suggestions have been made, when you know that the will to get it done is not really there is just chasing of shadows.

“If we are not ready to help ourselves and we are expecting heaven to help us, then we are deceiving ourselves,” he said.

Also speaking on the issue, a frontline Yoruba leader and former Senator, Chief Anthony Adefuye argued that what Nigeria has learnt from the fall out of June 12 election is very little considering the approach to politics today.

He said, “Nigerians have only learnt from June 12 partially. The military scuttled June 12 just because they wanted to continue as civilian presidents and since June 12 only one or two presidents have not been military, all remaining ones have been military presidents or ex-

military presidents.

“If Nigerians are to really benefit from June 12 we must try as much as possible to prevent all these exmilitary men from taking over the political terrain from all of us.

“They are the cause of all the problems we have today, they are the cause of corruption, they are the cause of everything that is bad and they are forcing themselves in again, fanning the embers of disintegration, the embers of one ethnic group against the other. Nigerians should learn and go away from them so that they don’t pollute them further.

According to him subsequent governments in the country have not been fair to Abiola or what he stood for, as they have continued to ignore him without reason, “No past government in the country has been fair to the memory of MKO Abiola, there has not been any attempt to honour him at all. The only thing that was done was the university that was named after him and it was overturned because the students of the University of Lagos said they were used to the name of their school and they don’t want any change, it is not because they hated Abiola, but because they were used to that name, that was the nearest to honouring him and that is the man that paid the supreme sacrifice to enthrone democracy in this country, I think he needs more attention than we are giving to him,” Adefuye said.

the activities of the coalition, said the trend of statements credited to the coalition “has shown clearly that Nigeria is no longer one.”

He said this while reacting to a quit notice served on Ndigbo in the north by the Coalition of Northern Groups, and which was recently backed by some northern elders, including a former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,

Prof. Ango Abdullahi.

Fayose said the unity of the nation was threatened like never before in the history of the country.

He said: “The gap has widened beyond measure because of the body language of President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration. We are more divided than ever. The elements are emboldened because they believe their person is in office and nothing would happen.

“This is not surprising to some of us as the herdsmen set the tone and became notorious under the watch of Buhari.

“If this continues, it would further heat up the already tensed situation and promote distrust among ethnic groups in the country.”

Fayose urged the Federal Government to accept responsibility for trend and called for a decisive action to stop it.

“Buhari’s government has not

taken responsibility; no responsible government would encourage this. It is an empty threat that if not checked would snowball.

This is why people are calling for restructuring.

“The government should take responsibility and take decisive actions on those promoting war situation in our country.

“It is disheartening that a personality like (Ango) Abdullahi would support that; that’s danger

lurking in the country.

“He should be invited for questioning by security agencies.

Leaders should rise up and condemn this instead of giving tacit support to the ultimatum.

“So many lives have been lost due to the lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Government. All these I saw when I warned that Buhari would leave our country worse than he met it in 2015,” Fayose stated.

Forex operators task CBN on sustainable naira growth Continued from page 6 where they transfer them back to the country and make huge margins.

Gwadabe praised the CBN for liberalising the forex market and making more dollars available, but regretted that such funds are not really accessible in right volumes to the critical stakeholders like BDCs, adding that increasing the volume of PTAs, BTAs, school fess and medicals will help to make more funds available to end users.

“We are happy that the CBN is liberalising the foreign exchange market to ensure that its objective of deepening the market is achieved. We applaud its decision of allowing authorized dealers in interbank trading to release excess foreign exchange trading positions to other authorised dealers without seeking prior approval from the CBN,” he said.

Gwadabe also said the coming of Investors and Exporters (I&E)

Forex Window was also part of CBN’s efforts to further develop the Nigerian forex market and improve market structure.

Part of the liberalisation policy, he added, is the directive that all interbank trades, spot, forwards, futures, options and swaps that impact on authorized dealers limit comply with rate reasonability standards. Besides, the CBN reserves the right to intervene as a buyer or seller as it deems fit on the interbank market.

He reiterated that the forex liberalisation policy has created more liquidity in the market, except that such funds are not accessible in the right proportions to key stakeholders.

“What stops the CBN from raising the PTA and BTA to $8,000 and $10,000 per quarter? The school fees and medicals should also be increased to $20,000 and $15,000 respectively to put more dollars in the hands of end-users. That way, the liquidity that is coming from liberalization of the forex

market will be absorbed,” he said.

Leadership crisis rocks Buhari campaign organisation Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja

ÏÏÏ A major leadership crisis has

hit the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), the body that has been at the vanguard of drumming support for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari since the inception.

The crisis has already sharply divided the BCO into two parallel groups.

One of the factions is led by Alhaji Isa Aminu Bayero as National Coordinator, while the other faction is headed by Alhaji Danladi Pasali as acting National Coordinator.

The acting National Coordinator of the BCO, Alhaji Danladi Pasali, had a forth night ago, addressed a press conference in Abuja to mark the commemoration of Democracy Day in Nigeria as well as the two years administration of President Buhari.

The group then used the opportunity to offer prayers for the

quick recovery of President Buhari as it brought fourteen Muslim clerics and six pastors for that purpose.

However, the BCO under the leadership of Alhaji Isa Aminu Bayero as National Coordinator, in a statement at the weekend in Abuja, disowned the other group, describing them as illegal and unrecognised.

The Bayero group disclosed that security agencies have already swung into action with a view to apprehending “these culprits who shall soon face the consequences of their nefarious actions”.

The statement personally signed by Alhaji Bayero, reads in part: “Our attention has been drawn to an unauthorised group that has been parading themselves with our banner and using the offices of our National Coordinator on an ‘acting’ capacity.

“The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) wishes to inform all and sundry that the said group is operating illegally without any

constituted authority, and should be disregarded and not entertained as part of BCO. “Security Agencies have already swung into action in apprehending these culprits who shall soon face the consequences of their nefarious actions.

“Finally, we remain focused and united in our support to combat corruption in our nation as we continue to create awareness regarding the excellent work of this administration.

“We urge our Nigerian citizens to remain peaceful and united as we continue to support the good work of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in its resolve to discharge the panacea of anti-corruption in order to eradicate the fundamental problem of poverty in Nigeria”, it said.

The acting National Co-ordinator of the BCO, Alhaji Danladi Pasali, had at its press conference two weeks ago, declared that the President has laid the foundation

of prudence in governance in the country.

In its reaction, the Alhaji Pasaliled BCO described Alhaji Aminu Bayero as an impersonator, pointing out that he had since been suspended by majority of the members as the acting National Coordinator of the Organisation.

Speaking through its Zonal Coordinator, Hon Ubale Marafa, the Pasali’s faction stated that it has already reported Bayero and his illegal activities to the Inspector General of Police for investigation.

Hon Marafa, who stressed that Bayero and his cohort have been going round the various states in the country misleading members of the BCO, vowed that they would not tolerate any act of illegality from Bayero.

They expressed the firm optimism that the long arm of the law will soon catch up with Bayero and members of his group.

“Bayero was a former acting National Coordinator of the Bu-

hari Campaign organisation. But we have since removed him from and office over activities bothering on misconduct and abuse of office. We have since put in place another executive led by Alhaji Pasali. As things stand now, Bayero is an impersonator. We have already reported him to the Inspector General of Police. We did this because we are law abiding organisation and do not want to take the laws into our hands.

We are aware of how he (Bayero) and his supporters have been going round the states to confuse and mislead our members. The long arm of the law will soon catch up with him,” Marafa said.

The factional BCO after a careful assessment of the two years of President Muhammadu Buhari at the nation’s helm of affairs, during its press conference two weeks ago, described him (Buhari) as an epitome of perseverance and an excellent example of patience for victory.

The group pointed out that

Time to pass PIB and end gas flaring

R

ecently, the Director of Health of the Mother Earth Foundation, Mr. Nnimmo Bassey, expressed misgivings on the Federal Government’s reported commitment to end gas flaring by 2020. According to him, successive governments have been shifting the deadline for ending gas flaring from year to year, even as debates on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), which have been going on for more than a decade have said nothing on when gas flaring would end.

We are, also, alarmed at the continuing gas flaring in Nigeria, with the attendant health hazards. Figure shows that Nigeria exceeds over 40 percent of the gas flared annually across Africa, which amounts to about $7billion in waste.

Aside the economic waste, flared gas is also known to contain toxic substances which cause respiratory diseases and air pollution, leading to depletion of the ozone layer, ultimately having an adverse effect on weather and climate. In addition, the release of oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur into the atmosphere is responsible for the formation of acid rain, which destroys vegetation and damages structures and buildings while reducing visibility.

Whilst many countries have been re-injecting gas into the fields and converting same into liquefied natural gas, domestic cooking gas, plastic production and other uses, the problem of gas flaring has remained unresolved in Nigeria many decades after.

We recall that the first regulatory framework at stopping gas flaring was the Associated Gas Reinjection Act, 1979. It required every oil and gas producing company to submit to the minister for petroleum, detailed

Publisher/Editor in Chief Group Managing Director Noel Anosike Group General Manager Olisa Egbunike 08034004224 Head, Operations Isaiah Udo 08033230673

programmes in relation to the re-injection of produced associated gas. It is doubtful whether the Federal Government is enforcing this policy.

It is a fact that the government’s main interest is to maximise its monetary profits from oil production.

Therefore, the oil companies find it more economically expedient to flare the natural gas and pay the insignificant fine than to re-inject the gas back into the oil wells. Moreover, since there is an insufficient energy market especially in rural areas, these companies do not see an economic incentive to collect the gas.

Therefore, the environment and human health consideration is seen as secondary for oil companies and the Nigerian government. We believe the Federal Government can impress upon the oil companies to stop gas flaring if there is the political will.

First, there should be firm commitment from the government to encourage gas utilisation and flaring reduction with petroleum companies through introduction of fiscal incentives.

The World Bank’s proposal urging oil and gas producers to stop gas flaring by 2030 is achievable and to achieve this, there should be a wellco-ordinated alliance between the government and various energy subsectors to ensure compliance with protocols on gas flaring.It bears repeating that gas flaring should be brought to an end because of the monumental waste of resources especially in a country like Nigeria where energy demand surpasses supply and where over 70 percent of the population still lives in abject poverty. In addition, the extent of environmental degradation that gas-flaring causes are enormous and therefore stopping the practice will reduce the environmental and health effects.

This was contained in the statement by the Federal Ministry, which gave a detailed state by state breakdown of the first tranche of Paris Club refunds paid to date.

The statement added that a detailed report is being compiled for pre-

sentation to the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, as part of the process for approval for the release of any subsequent tranches.

Meanwhile, Federal Government on Friday released a state by state breakdown of the first tranche of Paris Club refunds paid to date.

These payments which totalled N516.38 billion were made to the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) upon the approval of Present Muhammadu Buhari on

November 21, 2016 in partial settlement of longstanding claims by State Governments relating to over-deductions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocation for external debt service arising between 1995 and 2002.

N400m fraud: Supreme Court dismisses Metuh application ...Refuses to stay his trial before Justice Abang Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Supreme Court has dismissed the application filed by the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, that sought to stay his trial before Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuja until his appeal is determined.

The apex court on Friday ordered Justice Abang to continue the trial which borders on the charges of money laundering and fraud instituted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against Metuh.

A five- man panel of the apex court made the order in a unanimous ruling and dismissed Metuh’s application for an order of stay of proceedings of his trial before the Federal High Court.

The lead ruling was prepared by Justice Clara Ogunbiyi but was read on her behalf by Justice Ejembi Eko, who also agreed with the lead.

With the ruling, Metuh’s trial will now continue on June 19, a date fixed by Justice Abang to deliver some interlocutory rulings in the trial.

Justice Abang had adjourned until June 19 on the instance of the defendants to await the outcome of this Supreme Court’s ruling. This was after Metuh’s lawyers informed the judge that the Supreme Court had fixed Friday for the ruling on stay of proceedings following an appeal before the apex court.

$20m bribery: Adoke shocks Swiss investigators, absolves indicted Nigerians of corruption Ï zƆ ƗƈƗ Ɛ ƅƋƆ Ə ƈ ƗƈƅƐƆƗ Mƈ ƆƏƈ é &0 ƑƏƅƆ Tony Amokeodo, with Agency report A former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), has shocked the Swiss investigators when he reportedly claimed that former Nigerian officials accused of $20million bribery did no wrong and could not be prosecuted, an online news medium, the Premium Times reports.

According to the online medium, the officials were public officers when part of the alleged bribe was paid to them and,

by Nigerian law, barred from engaging in private business.

But Adoke was said to have stunned the Swiss investigators when responding to a mutual legal assistance request from Switzerland, claimed that the officials were only paid legitimate fees for their consultancies.

In the 2012 letter sighted by the online medium, Adoke told Switzerland that, “ The documents on further findings of the executing competent authority of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission revealed that the money were (sic) paid as consultancy fee to the various recipients.”

The Swiss authorities had in May 2012 wrote the Federal Government to request

support of the country’s anti-graft agency in unearthing further crucial details that could strengthen their investigation, which was already underway at the time.

Switzerland was probing suspicious transactions to the tune of $20 million between Nigerian officials and a firm in Europe.

A former Managing Director of the NPA, Adebayo Sarumi; a former Managing Director of NPA’s Eastern Ports, Felix Ovbude; a former Executive Director of Finance at the NPA, Abba Murtala Mohammed; and Sullivan Nwankpo, exPresident Goodluck Jonathan’s special adviser on technical matters, were said to have participated in the illicit scheme.

Swiss authorities believe Daniel AfamObi, a former executive assistant to Mr. Nwankwo, stood in as front for his principal.

Adoke subsequently requested the EFCC, under its former chairman, Mr Ibrahim Lamorde, to investigate the Nigerian aspect of the multinational bribery scandal.

But after the EFCC forwarded its report to him, Adoke wrote to European investigators, saying the agency found no acts of wrongdoings on the part of the Nigerians named in the scam.

But in May 2017, Switzerland prosecu-

tors indicted Messrs Sarumi, Ovbude and Mohammed alongside Dredging International Services (Cyprus) Ltd, which was sentenced to a fine of one million Swiss Francs and asked to refund 36 million Swiss Francs in illegal profits for allegedly making illicit payments to the Nigerian officials.

Mr. Afam-Obi was said to have been paid $157,000 for unknown reasons.

In his letter to Swiss authorities, Adoke said he attached documents containing EFCC investigators’ findings in Nigeria, which allegedly uncovered no fraudulent activities on the part of the targeted Nigerians.

Premium Times further stated that the former AGF was yet to respond to its request that he forwards the documents he claimed to have attached to his letter to Swiss authorities.

But an EFCC source familiar with the investigation told the online medium that there was no truth in Adoke’s claim that the anti-graft agency did not implicate the Nigerian officials in its findings.

The source said, “These were public officers and there is no way we could have told the minister they received legitimate consultancy fees. We only sent him our findings. Sad that he drew inaccurate conclusion.”

The conference further stressed the need for members to expand the network with other sectors to enhance the fight against corruption including collaboration with the African Union Advisory Board on Corruption, the civil society, the media and the private sector.

Other issues that engaged the attention of the head of the Anti-graft agencies of Commonwealth Africa was the need for the respective agencies to deepen the use of innovative techniques for prevention education and investigation in the fight against corruption as well as consider implementing “Whistle Blowing legislation for effective protection of whistleblowers.”

Furthermore, the conference called on member countries to continue supporting the Anti- Corruption Agencies with adequate financial resources to deliver their mandates and for continuous capacity development of their officials.

The conference which commenced on May 29 at the Lakeshore Resort, Mangochi, Malawi was organised by the Commonwealth Secretariat and hosted by the Anti- Corruption Bureau of Malawi.

US Govt to train 16 EFCC officials on effective communication Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

As part of its efforts to assist the Nigerian government in the anticorruption fight, the United States of America has reiterated it’s resolved to train about sixteen staff of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on effective communication.

Counsellor, Public Affairs of the US Mission to Nigeria, Aruna Amirthanayagam, who made the resolve at the formal launch of the project tagged, “Effective Communication and Public Relations for Nigeria Law Enforcement Agencies”, in Abuja, noted that the project was expected to strengthen criminal justice law in the country.

The project, according to him, is structured to help enhance cooperation and build trust among citizens, in order to make Nigeria a better place.

“The aim is to ensure that staff of the EFCC gain and advance their skills for improved and effective communication with the public towards increasing transparency and accountability,” he said.

He also revealed that the project, which was also in partnership with

the United States Embassy in Nigeria, would be extended to other security agencies in the future, adding that 50 police officers would also benefit from the first phase of the project.

On his part, the acting Chairman

of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, who was represented at the launch by the Commission’s Secretary, Emmanuel Aremo, commended the Foundation and the US Embassy, for their unrelenting support for the EFCC.

“There is an urgent need for citizen participation in the fight against corruption, because while the EFCC does its best, it still needs members of the society to adequately key into the anticorruption crusade,” he said.

EFCC re-opens case against Jonathan’s ex-chief physician The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday in an FCT High Court, Maitama, opened its case against Dr. Fortune Fiberesima, former President Goodluck Jonathan’s chief physician.

Fiberesima was alleged to have abused his position as the chief physician to the former president in 2012 in awarding contracts valued at N258.9 million and N36.9 million to companies where he had interests.

He was arraigned on a six- count charge bordering on abuse of office by influencing the award of contracts to companies where he had interest.

EFCC said the offences were contrary and punishable under Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

The contracts are reclamation of land at the State House Medical Centre and supply of medical consumables.

He was granted bail on April 25 on the same condition by EFCC administrative bail, of two directors in government service with landed property in Abuja.

In addition, he was ordered to deposit to the court registrar his international passport.

At the resumed sitting, EFCC brought two witnesses out of nine billed to testify in the matter The first witness, Mr. Aminu Abubakar, retired director, Maintenance, State House, was led in evidence by Hussaina Gambo (Mrs) EFCC counsel.

He told the court that the contract for the reclamation was awarded in February. 2013 to a company named TE and C Ltd at N358.5 million to be completed within 16 weeks.

Abubakar said that at the completion of the contract, certificate of practical completion was issued to the contractor.

The witness also told the court that he

was invited to EFCC and DSS in 2015 and 2016 respectively to answer questions in relation to the project.

When cross- examined by Mr Granville Alibo (SAN) counsel for the defendant, the witness said that the defendant was never a member of the Tenders Board.

“Even in the award of contract, the defendant never sat as a member of Tenders Board which reports to the Permanent Secretary of the State House,’’ the witness said.

He also told the court that he did not know if the payment of the contract was completed but that the process for payment was completed before he left service.

Another witness, Rukiyat Odekunle, told the court that the contract to supply medical consumables was awarded to one Mr. Ibomaedomi and Global Services Ltd at N36 million.

Dalung,NFFTechnical Committee meet over Eagles’loss ANDREW EKEJIUBA Sport Editor

T

he Minister of Youth and Sports Barrister Solomon Dalung is to hold an emergency meeting with the Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation on Tuesday.

The meeting will hold in the Minister’s conference room at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja at 2pm.

This is coming on the heels of the Super Eagles 0-2 loss to visiting Bafana Bafana at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium Uyo at the weekend. Nigeria is now 3rd on their AFCON qualifying Group E table behind South Africa and Libya.

Meanwhile, the Minister has called on football lovers and Nigerians generally to collectively support the Super Eagles in their quest for an Africa Cup of Na-

tions and World Cup tickets.

“This is a temporary setback which is surmountable. We need to sit with the technical Committee and crew to find out the immediate and remote causes of this setback.

“We have very young talented players in the Super Eagles and we trust that with more hard work and determination, this result can be reversed when we go to South Africa.

“This is just the beginning of a long journey. The Super Eagles will definitely be in Cameroon because we can’t afford to be absent at the Africa Cup of Nations for a third consecutive time.

We must do all within our means to support the team when they win and when there’s a setback.

We will ensure that no stone is left unturned in our pursuit of a ticket to Cameroon,” Dalung assured.

Rohr defends under-fire Akpeyi

N

igeria coach Gernot Rohr has defended goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi after his side were silenced 2-0 in an Africa Cup of Nations encounter in Uyo. Goals from Tokelo Rantie and Percy Tau ensured Bafana Bafana began their campaign for Cameroon 2019 on a flying note away from home.

The Super Eagles passed up a number of chances, with the Chippa United man found guilty, yet the coach has absolved him of any individual blame. ‘’I am not the kind of person who criticise one player in public – first I will speak with the player,’’ said Rohr. ‘’It was a difficult game for him because he didn’t have so much of work in the first half except on one or two situations. ‘’These kind of games are very difficult for goalkeepers. The possibility was to bring in Ikechukwu Ezenwa or Dele Alampasu, but I think the goals was not the fault of the goalkeeper.

Beating Nigeria is ‘something special’ —Baxter

S

outh Africa coach Stuart Baxter described his side’s victory over Nigeria in Uyo on Saturday as “emotional” and “something special.”

Bafana Bafana beat Nigeria 2-0 in their opening Group E qualifier for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

It was South Africa’s first ever official competitive win over the Super Eagles.

“It is the way the victory was achieved which has been so emotional,” said Baxter.

“The long trip to West Africa, the short preparation period and then go into the match and completely outplay the home favourites is something special,” Baxter added.

Baxter - who was appointed last month on a five-year deal - only linked up with his squad last Monday.

“I have received countless messages of congratulations mostly from back home in South Africa. They are still trickling in and it goes to show what this win means for the country.

Eagles will bounce back, says Rohr S Rohr

uper Eagles coach Genard Rohr has wiped the egg off his face and promised Nigerian football fans that his team will bounce back after their disastrous outing against Bafana Bafana on Saturday.

Speaking at the post game conference, the former Bayern Munich and Marseille’s defender spoke grimly about his team’s lacklustre performance, but pointed out that every cloud has a silver lining.

He explained, “Nobody is happy with the result but in some negative result there are some positives.

“The first goal we conceded was a

counterattack from the right flank and the second goal was a gift.

“My young team played a very good first half. They played well but they didn’t score and in the second half we knew that the experienced team of South Africa could be dangerous at counter attacks.

“We had difficulties to finish the game, they made so many efforts. Some of our players were tired so we tried to put in some attacking players to bring in some power in the attack but failed.

“We knew they were unbeaten in the last 17 games, now 18. I believe that this game we made progress with my young

team of an average age of 24 years. The youngest team in Africa.

“We controlled the game until they scored.”

Nigeria next face the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in a Group B 2018 World Cup qualifier that is crucial to both teams.

The Lions ironically also host the next Africa Cup of Nations and won their game against Morocco 1-0 on Saturday.

Rohr has promised a much better display by his team and vowed to contain the four-time African champions when the two lock horns in Uyo on August 28.

Achebe tasks Town Planners on Onitsha urban renewal project

Stories by Alphonsus Nweze Awka

Anambra

T E A M

The Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has urged the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP) to proffer solutions to the challenges of urbanisation in Anambra State, especially in Onitsha.

Achebe made the call when a delegation from NITP paid him a visit at his palace in Onitsha on Friday.

The traditional ruler expressed concern that “the beautiful old city of Onitsha has become one big ghetto and lost to commercial activities.’’

He said the Government Reserved Areas were also gradually turning into an eyesore with the indiscriminate citing of commercial structures and motor parks without proper planning.

“The streets of Onitsha in the 1960s had trees on them;

Nkwelle mmili, markets and even the clay streets were clean.

There are pictures to show for this.

“But today, we are suffocated with garbage in places like Fegge, which used to be very clean.

It is a terrible place today.

“Onitsha market was built by colonial planners. Vehicles could pass through the markets to discharge goods. The roads were all well planned, the toilets, everything.

“Today, where you see public toilet, there is a shop on top of it,” he said.

The monarch said Onitsha markets had become an “organised confusion”, saying “some markets need to be destroyed and rebuilt or moved somewhere else.”

The traditional ruler said new markets were springing up but were being built in the same old manner, “so one would ask where the town planners and ar-

chitects are?” Achebe asked.

According to him, the UNHabitat had declared Onitsha as one of the 10 fastest growing cities in the world therefore, it deserves urgent attention.

The monarch urged the town planners to collaborate with the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) to layout the towns and ensure that buildings that are designed should fit each layout.

“Factually, a blind person will tell you that Onitsha is in bad shape but a professional walk around will now determine how bad it is,” Achebe added.

He charged the members of NITP to walk around the cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi and make recommendations on things that need to be done.

Earlier, the National President of NITP, Mr. Luka Achi, said the visit was to brief the monarch on plans for the urban renewal project in Onitsha.

Achi said Onitsha and its satellite towns were covered by a structure plan prepared by the UN-Habitat, although not implemented.

He expressed concern over the indiscriminate citing of

markets along the expressway without commensurate motor parks and car parks.

“The greatest problem of Onitsha is provision of critical infrastructure and quality space and inadequate urban infrastructure, management of urban solid wastes, provision of reliable urban water supply and ensuring maintenance of these critical urban facilities and infrastructure,” Achi said.

The national president, who was represented by the First Vice President, Mr Lekwa Ezutah, urged the monarch to advice government to seriously review and implement the structure plan for Onitsha and other urban towns.

In an interview, the state chairman of NITP, Mr. Joachim Ulasi, said the institute had commenced sensitisation of town union President-Generals on the need to map out layouts for undeveloped plots.

He also advised the state government on the need to commence the implementation of the structure plan by UN-Habitat for urban areas in the state.

An Abuja-based legal luminary, Chief Amobi Nzelu, has thrown his weight behind Governor Wllie Obiano’s second term bid, saying the Governor has done enough to merit him second tenure.

Nzelu, who spoke in his country home, Oraifite in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State, pointed out that he is not a politician neither has he held any political appointment or done government contract but as a stakeholder in the state and a realist, said Obiano has done well to go for second term.

Nzelu said Obiano has sold himself to the people of the state by what he has been doing since he assumed power three years ago, saying that since Obiano came to power, he has been free to come home especially when he has cases in the South East because there is security unlike before.

He said Governor Obiano has put massive infrastructure in the state, paid salaries of the state workers as when due, apart from making Anambra the safest state in the country.

“I know election is coming. I do not do politics but I am a realist. Obiano has sold himself to the people. I don’t believe in masquerading or promissory note politicians. What he has put on the ground justifies his second tenure. APC cannot transfer their oligarchy to Anambra State,” said Nzelu.

Nzelu, who has been practicing Law for the past 37 years and represented Apo Six during the Tribunal of Inquiry set up by the Federal Government to unravel their killers, said he has refused to make any comment on the judgment on Apo Six which the principal accused was let off the hook because he was not the prosecutor during the trial.

He said with the judgment, the matter has come to an end and it should be left to rest but one thing was clear “any hand that shed blood will not go unpunished”.

Obiano commissions computerised vehicle testing service Stories by Alphonsus Nweze

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has commissioned a world class computerized Vehicle Inspection Service (ANCVTS) centre, geared towards ascertaining the sanity and effectiveness of vehicles.

The $5 million (N1.6billion) state-of-the-art Temple SYC Inspection Ltd is in partnership with Ministry of Road, Rail and Water Transportation, vis-a-vis Anambra State government.

The center which had already been cited in Awka, would be replicated in other two zones, Nnewi and Onitsha and would be completed before December this year.

Commissioning the projects, the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, said the establishment of the project was to ensure safety of lives and property and minimise accident rates among road users.

Governor Obiano noted that his administration would always

place premium to providing the welfare of people to give them a breath of fresh air.

The Governor pointed out that he had properly equipped the Road Safety Corps in the state with sophisticated speed testing gadget as well as alcohol detective device to arrest and prosecute road users who breach road rules.

He commended Road Safety Corps for evacuating unworthy vehicles parked along the roads that had constituted threat to the lives of the people, adding that he would increase the workforce of Vehicle Inspection Officers to enable them enforce the exercise.

The governor revealed that he had intensified effort on patching portholes and maintaining all dilapidated roads to ensure safety.

The Commissioner for Road, Rail and Water Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chinwe Nwaebili, pointed out that the equipment at the center would specifically inspect and test the vehicle’s headlights, underneath inspection for loose

bolts, knots, leakages and brakes alongside other components in the vehicle.

Chairman Anambra State Investment, Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA), HRH Igwe Cyril Enweze, recalled that since the groundbreaking ceremony was performed on November 5, 2015, the company had worked diligently on the project.

Igwe Enweze maintained that the significance of the investment was in line with the state’s vision to ensure that all vehicles plying its roads were registered with and operate a maximum standard of safety.

He stressed that it would create job, enhance Road Safety, and improve the state’s internally generated revenue among others.

On his part, Managing Director, Anambra State Computerized Vehicle Testing Service, Mr. Prince Segun Obayendo, said the project was in line with the third, out of the five pillars of road safety declaration made by the United Nations in 2010.

A prominent Igbo leader and the Ogirisigbo, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has warned that “Ndigbo should not play the second fool” by taking lightly the threat by the Coalition of Northern Youths that Ndigbo should quit Northern states as from October 1, 2017.

Chief Ezeonwuka, member Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who spoke to newsmen in his Rojenny Tourist Village,

Oba, said the outbursts from the Northern youths looked like a child’s play but it is only a tree that heard that it would be caught down and remained where it is.

He said Ndigbo would be playing second fool if they ignore the threat, saying “what we are doing is to play second fool.

They said first fool is not fool but second fool is proper fool”.

He said it was only Igbo ethnic group that goes to other parts

of the country and developed them, when some of them do not have hurts in their villages, noting that the abandoned property in Port- Hacourt, Rivers State would have taught them lesson.

“Instead of investing in their home, they keep investing outside Igbo land. History will always repeat itself. This happened in 1967 and a lot came back with nothing, yet they did not learn their lessons”.

Ultimatum to leave the North: # ôƐ ƍƋ ƕ Ɔƅ Ɨ Ƈ Ƌè &ƖƆ ƓƑƊ ƐƆƋƋ MƗƈ Ƅ

ÏÏÏ Stakeholders in the construction of the N10 million project in each of the 62 markets in Anambra State have assured of early competition of the projects.

Speaking to The Anambra Times after the tripartite meeting among the consultants, the Amalgamated Markets Traders Association of State (AMATAS) leadership and the contractors, Mr. Aniemena of Kenneth, of CEA Professional Service Limited, said they met to discuss on the modalities to apply for the tenders as captured in the advertisement as posted in various markets in the state.

He said one of the parameters was that each of the market will have three contractors prospecting for the job, by applying in person or through their registered business or limited liability company with N10,000 each to designated banks as captured.

He said in generating the projects, each market captured where its needs is greatest, which is “bottom- up approach with the active participation and buy in of the traders”.

He said with these, the traders have been able to choose what

they want, not government or anybody choosing for them.

Aniemena said the projects indicated by traders covered hall facilities, water, toilets, road work, and electricity among others as each of the market desired.

He said the first phase of the tender took place on Thursday and the successful bidders would be presented to the state Executive council today (Monday) for final approval.

The projects, he said, at the commencement will take two months to be completed and barring any unforeseen circumstances will start this June.

His Royal Highness (Surveyor) Charles C. Agbala, the Igwe of Uke, assured that the projects would be successfully completed as they did in the 181 state community projects which 80 percent of it have been done .

“We are very optimistic that the job would be completed on time. This will be faster. The projects would be done in stages, “said the Igwe Agballa, who noted that given the way the project was structured it would be difficult for any contractor to abandon it.

Anambra agog for Obiano football competition ÏÏÏ Traders in different markets in Anambra State are in high spirit as they prepare for another round of football competition sponsored by Governor Willie Obiano of the state.

The chairman of the Organising Committee, Rev Fr. (Coach), Obinna Dike, said that the committee set up by the State Commissioner for Sports, Mrs. Uju Nwogu, has already started working with the traders on the eligibility of the players that will participate in the competition.

He said the leadership of Amalgamated Markets Traders Association of State (AMATAS) has said only apprentices and their masters who are bona fide registered members of the respective markets will participate in the competition.

Warning that nobody who is not a trader would be allowed to play, the chairman said the competition would be played according to the six zones of the markets in the State.

He said the six champions from each of the zones would play the finals and the semi-finals, noting that the winner will go home with handsome cash reward and consolation prizes.

Enumerating the gains of the competition, Rev. Father Dike said the Governor has been liaising with major stakeholders in

the State and traders are among the major stakeholders.

He said traders carry out their genuine businesses in addition to payment of their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), and Governor Obiano recognizes and appreciates these roles, hence his decision to sponsor football for traders to make them fit and healthy.

Consequently, the chairman of the Organising Committee said the competition will take-off this June and the opening match will hold at Godwin Achebe Memorial Stadium, Fegge, Onitsha.

In his speech, Mr. Vincent Ifeme, the AMATAS Public Relations Officer (PRO), who is representing Traders in the Committee, lauded Governor Obiano for this gesture, noting that they were not surprised by his soft spot for traders considering that his mother was one of them.

He said that the competition will afford them opportunity to take time off from their busy schedule of chasing money to recreate and ease tension.

He warned that “nobody from outside the market will be eligible to play to avoid defeating the objective of the competition,” adding “some have already started preparing and I assure you it is going to be an exciting competition”.

Include S’East in $5.851 rail project, ONICCIMA urges FG Stories by Alphonsus Nweze Awka

The Onitsha Chamber of Commerce, Mines and Agriculture (ONICCIMA) has appealed to the Federal Government to reconsider its decision to exclude South-East from the $5.851billion modernisation project.

The ONICCIMA in a statement made available to The Anambra Times said that the zone should be included in the rail project, without any second thought, as a matter equity, justice and fairness.

The Chamber expressed strong concern over the willful exclusion of the South-East zone from the plan, which if implemented as envisaged, will

surely unleash tremendous economic and social benefits on the nation, from the benefiting zones.

Said the ONICCIMA: “Unfortunately, out of the six geopolitical zones in the country, it is only the South/East Zone that was not, included in this strategic project plan. To the Chamber, this is a clearly designed effort aimed at crippling the economic and developmental potentials of the South-East region for no justifiable reason other than political. How could the Minister of Transport or the Federal Government defend this sheer disregard, through the denial of the rail project, of the South-East which is noted world-wide for its prowess in industrialization, trade

and commerce? This, therefore, seems as a calculated setback and slight on millions of the organized private sector (OPS) operators in the Zone, in particular, and the entire citizenry of South East in general, whose businesses and lives will, invariably, be negatively affected in no small measure due to this singular exclusion”.

In the statement signed by the President of the Chamber, Mr. Uchenna Apakam, a pharmacist, ONICCIMA recalled, with the same sadness and disbelief, similar action of the Federal Government against the socioeconomic interest of people of the South-East, such as the Onitsha River Port Complex, which has remained decrepit since 2012, when it was com-

missioned-because the Federal Government is yet to fund the concessionaries.

‘What of the 2nd Niger Bridge, which is yet to take off, despite repeated assurances by this administration? What of the Onitsha-Enugu Expressway and many other Federal roads in the South/East, which have become perpetual death traps? Again, it is only the South-East Zone that has only but five states and fewer local government areas than any other zones throughout the country; in fact, the list of these act of marginalization of the Zone is endless,” the ONICCIMA lamented.

Continuing, ONICCIMA said: “No part of this country should be marked out for designed illtreatments and marginaliza-

tion- as the South-East Zone has been witnessing. Moreover, it will be to eternal credit of President Buhari, as the father of the nation, if he could see all parts the Country as his single constituency, without political, religious, tribal or any other personalized considerations.

For, no nation has ever attained her greatness in the face of grave injustice, maltreatment and aberrant exclusion of a significant part of its own, as the South-East Zone has been experiencing in this country.

Finally, as already noted here, excluding only the South/East zone from the railway project, as it is no, can never at any giving time, pas integrity test of social justice, fairness and objectivity”.

Obiano govt ready to promote Anambra Trade fair, says Nnachetta

Chief Willie Obiano, Governor of Anambra State and Mr. Guang Zhongqi, Consul-general of the Chinese Embassy during a courtesy call on the governor at the Governor’s Lodge... recently

Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Communication Strategy, Ogbuefi Tony Nnachetta, has affirmed the readiness of Chief Willie Obiano’s administration to promote the 2017 Anambra Trade Fair in every possible way to ensure its success.

The Commissioner disclosed this when some members of the 2017 Anambra Trade Fair Committee drawn from the three City Chambers of Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Jerome Udorji Secretariat Complex office Awka, recently.

The Commissioner, while assuring the committee of the

Ultimatum to Ndigbo to vacate the North, treasonable felony –IYF The President Igbo Youths Forum (IYF), Comrade Kenneth Emeh, has described as “treasonable felony” the call by the Coalition of Northern Youths to Ndigbo to leave Northern states

by October 1, this year.

Emeh, who spoke to newsmen in Onitsha, the Anambra State commercial centre, lashed out at the security agencies especially the Directorate of State Security (DSS) and the Nigerian Police for not arresting the leaders of the coalition who are well known by them.

He said if such statement had come from the youths of other regions, especially the South East, the security agencies of this country would have moved into action to arrest them, but now they appeared helpless be-

cause it came from the North.

He also condemned fickle response from the Northern leaders, who he said, the youths were carrying their mandate and therefore called Igbo leaders to brace up for the challenges ahead because they have started again like 1967-1970 pogrom.

“They met at Arewa House, the official conference centre of the North, to show you the whole thing has the stamp of authority of the Northern leaders. And where was the DSS? If it is in the East DSS would have arrested the youths that is if they would allow the meeting to hold. But the North is sacrosanct. They can say and do anything and nobody queries them. This call is pure treasonable felony,” Emeh said.

He then enjoined Ndigbo in the North to as matter of utmost urgency start coming back, so that they join in the working for the referendum preparatory for the eventual exit from Nigeria.

He said programmes and policies of All Progressives Congress (APC) led by President Muhammed Buhari has shown a clear attempt to further marginalise the South East, saying that beyond deliberating scheming out Ndigbo in his appointment, the recent exclusion of South East in $5.851b railway project, the throwing away of the South East Development Commission Bill by the House of Representatives, intimidation and arrest of prominent persons both in government and business like the unwarranted search of the

residence of Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, detention of Ifeanyi Uba for several months now without arraigning him before court as required by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are all geared towards marginalising Ndigbo.

Said the youth leader: “Ndigbo are not the problem of the North.

Their problem is self –inflicted.

We did not ask them not to go to school. It is clear that this our union is not working. And it has to be dissolved. This marriage of inconvenience cannot work.

Since Nigeria has rejected us, we can’t reject ourselves. The president is behind them. He unleashed Herdsmen on Nigerians and that is why nobody has been arrested.

ministry’s full support, called on them to bring up their work plan as the ministry is poised to give necessary assistance wherever it is needed so far it is within its means. He maintained that the Governor who has been at the forefront of the promotion of locally made goods would ensure that the trade Fair becomes a huge success, serving as a veritable avenue to showcase goods and services of Ndi Anambra’s young and established entrepreneurs. He further hinted that the trade fair could benefit from the new TV transmitter being set up by the government, which would be operational in a short while, asking the committee to get the students of our secondary and tertiary schools to be part of the event as it would open up their eyes to new ideas encouraging them to become more productive after their formal education.

Lastly, the commissioner said that the ministry would support the trade fair by making available to the committee the use of different media at its disposal for the publicity of the event.

In his speech, the President of the 2017 Anambra Trade Fair Planning Committee, Mr. Don Ebubeogu who said the committee were at the ministry to inform the commissioner formally of the trade fair holding in October.

He also thanked the commissioner for the ministry’s support during last year’s trade fair event, while asking that the ministry should do more in bringing publicity and attracting government presence to the event as well as sending in the ministry’s nominee to help fine tune things preparatory to the event.

Okaula calls on Govts, stakeholders to address causes of crime

Stories by Alphonsus Nweze Awka

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sam Okaula, has stressed the need for the various governments in the country and relevant stakeholders to address the increasing cases of greed, ignorance and social inequalities which are the major causes of security challenges in the society.

Okaula, who spoke through the Onitsha Area Commander, Abubukar Yahaya, when he presented a lecture on crime prevention during the decoration of Chief Emmanuel Obiagwu, the chairman of Motor Spare Parts Market (Ngbuka), Obosi in Idemili North Local Government of Anambra State, said that the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria underscored scope of security “when it declares that the security and welfare of the people

shall be the primary purpose of government”.

The Commissioner said crime prevention required a committed synergy and partnership with the government and diverse groups in various communities which can influence the way the police perform their way.

He stressed the need for the citizens to shun violence if our country must achieve socio-economic and political harmony, stating that the current security challenges were perpetrated by those living within the society.

The Commissioner identified crime prevention strategies which should be carefully followed as creating, implementing and monitoring of national action plan for violence prevention, enhancing capacity for collecting data on violence, promotion of primary prevention responses, straighten responses for victims of violence among

others.

Okaula also stressed the need for strategic roles of traditional institutions in community policing as the custodians of the people’s culture, values, norms and tradition as well as the terrains.

He said the Police in fighting crime should build strong synergy and partnership with private security guards to assist in community policing especially in the area of intelligence gathering Receiving the award, Chief Obiagwu expressed happiness that some people recognized the little effort he has been putting in to sanitise Ngbuka market, stressing that four years ago, the market was no go area because of all sorts of crime and criminality that were going on then.

Obiagwu said he was happy that today he can confidently report that stolen cars were

not more traced to the market, promising that there are still so much to be done in the market.

He lauded the Commissioner of Police who was represented by the Area Commander and the Divsional Police Officer (DPO) for Ugwuagba Obosi, Babalola Adewuyi, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).

Earlier in his address during the decoration of the chairman, the director of Operations, Crime Prevention Campaign of Nigeria, Zone 9 Command, Evang. Francis Nwokike, said the organization embarked on crime sensitization to improve social, political, democratic, ethnic and religious understanding.

He said since Obiagwu became the chairman of Ngbuka market, he has worked hard to improve the security of the market by restoring peace, love tolerance and mutual understanding among other achievements.

An All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in the November 18 governorship election in Aanmabra State, Chief Nwibe, has said he would want be a preferred candidate of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, in the race.

Nwibe, who was responding to a questions at the Correspondents’ Chapel Forum of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Anambra State council, said that he was being perceived in some quarters as the minister’s anointed nominee in the election, noting that there were reasons for some people to have such impression.

Describing Ngige as “a political avatar in the state”, Nwibe said he had served him, politically for over nearly 15 years.

“The minister is a great Igbo man; he did great for this state as governor. I would love to be his anointed candidate; because I know that if he anoints me, my journey to becoming the next governor of the state is sure” he said.

But Nwibe denied being Ngige’s anointed aspirant among the APC aspirants, saying that it was a mere speculation, apparently stemming from his close relationship with Ngige.

He said APC as a political party that championed change in all ramification would organise free and fair primary for its aspirants in Anambra State.

He said it would amount to political suicide for the party to give its ticket to those who had no kindred interest in the party.

Nwibe described those who were flocking APC in the state for the sole purpose of using the platform to contest the November election as ‘food is ready politicians’.

He said such people had no party ideology, but were propelled by selfish interest of joining any political party that could be seen as a vehicle to power.

“There are two groups of aspirants on the platform of the party for the governorship election in the state. Those who believe strongly in the change mantra of the APC and those who came in after the party had won power at the centre because they believe they can win power using the platform of the party.

Experts task CBN on forex liquidity to sustain stock rally Some financial experts on Sunday called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to ensure continuous liquidity in the foreign exchange market to sustain the bullish trend on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

They spoke to newsmen in separate interviews in Lagos that the current rally on the stock market could only be sustained with foreign exchange liquidity.

Head of Banking and Finance Department, Nasarawa State University Keffi, Dr Uche Uwaleke, said that enhanced foreign exchange liquidity would sustain foreign portfolio investment confidence in the market.

According to him, the bullish trend was a reflection of the fact that the economy was gradually moving out of recession and should be sustained with friendly policies.

He said that the introduction of the investor-exporter foreign exchange window by the apex bank had boosted foreign portfolio investment in Nigeria.

“The recent report by Fitch concerning improved liquidity in the forex market, as well as the increase in weights for Nigerian equities in the Morgan Stanley Capital Index equally helped to positively influence market sentiments,’’ Uwaleke said.

He said proof was that “foreign investors are returning, stock market performance in recent time has been buoyed by high cap and expensive stocks such as Nestle which is trading close to N1000 per share.”

Uwaleke added that the new pension guidelines which increased the maximum funds that pension funds could invest in the equities market from 25 per cent to 30 per cent was another development impacting on market performance.

NNPC increases gas supply to GenCos Simon Ugwu Efforts by the Federal Government to boost electric power generation in the country may soon yield the required dividend following the sustained increase in gas supply for power generation by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. The March 2017 edition of the monthly Financial and Operations Report of the Corporation, released today in Abuja, said the average national daily gas production for the period stood at an impressive 226.918 billion cubic feet, bcf, which translates to over 7.319 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, mmscfd.

However the daily average national gas supply to gas power

plants increased to 689mmscfd or the equivalent to power generation of 3056 mw.

The March 2017 figure is an improvement on the previous month’s record which stood at 582 mmscfd. The supply is also over 29 per cent higher than the corresponding supply record for March 2016.

However, pipeline sabotage in the country increased from 49 downstream pipelines vandalized points in February 2017 to 94 in March 2017. This represents over 91 per cent increase relative to the previous months despite Federal Government’s and the NNPC’s continuous engagement with the stakeholders. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable improvement compared to corresponding period

of March 2016 which posted 259 cases.

Also, in the downstream sector, NNPC has in stock, a robust inland supply of over 1.2billion litres of petrol sufficient for more than 34 days forward consumption. On Automotive Gas Oil, AGO, and Aviation Turbine Kerosene, ATK, NNPC continued to import to supplement AGO local refining and the Central Bank has released foreign exchange to marketers to import AGO and ATK. The report notes that the inaugurated 497.2 km System 2B petroleum pipeline network which was achieved within the period under review has helped the NNPC to sustain the gale of uninterrupted supply and distribution of products throughout

the country.

Only recently the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, noted that the Corporation’s re-commissioned Mosimi and Kano depots had impacted positively on highways across the Country.

Dr. Baru had stated that the two depots had relieved the impacts of long haulage of petroleum products on the roads, saving the nation of serious environmental consequences of bridging to motorists, settlements along highways and the general ecosystem in the country.

The March 2017 NNPC monthly Financial and Operations Report is the 20th edition.

Prepaid Metre: SERAP sues FG, Fashola, want DisCos sanctioned OpeOluwani Akintayo The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has instituted a court action against the Federal Government and the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola , over their failure to enforce the electricity distribution companies, DisCos, to provide free prepaid meters to all their customers.

In suit number, FHC/L/ CS/906/17, it filed last Friday, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, SERAP blamed both parties for “their collective failure, refusal and/or negligence to enforce their own directives to electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to provide free prepaid meters to all Nigerians.”

SERAP is also seeking the court to order the firms to end the use of patently illegal, arbitrary, un-

fair and discriminatory estimated billing across the country.”

Accordingly, the group expressed dismay over failure to enforce the directive on estimated billing.

“By failing and/or neglecting to enforce his directives to DISCOs, Fashola is implicitly promoting the use of unjustifiable estimated billing, and increasing consumer costs. The use of estimated billing is marginalising Nigerians

living in extreme poverty, disproportionately affecting women, children and the elderly, and increasing their vulnerability to discrimination.”

SERAP also argued that it is the duty of Fashola to make sure operators do the thing.

Pollution, illegal fishing threat to global food security The Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) has highlighted the alarming rate of marine pollution, unsustainable and illegal fishing as threat to global food security.

According to the institute, marine pollution is reaching alarming levels with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic litter to be found on every square kilometre of ocean, adding that poor government communication and coordination was hurting West Africa’s ability to combat illegal fishing.

The Executive Director, NIOMR, Dr. Gbola Akande, during the recent celebration of world ocean day in Lagos, pointed out that the problem has become so severe that it is threatening food security in a region that loses an estimated $2.3 billion annually to illegal fishing.

He noted that with all these negative impacts on the oceans, there is need for all hands to be on deck, saying that the ocean is absolutely essential for life itself, not just for food, but the oxygen and weather cycles of the planet are heavily dependent on the oceans.

He said climate-related impacts of the oceans cannot be overemphasized even with its absorb heat and carbon dioxide, saying that the physical impacts of climate change on the ocean are now very clear with some of these impacts leading to fish migration and ocean acidification.

Also speaking at the event, the acting president, Society of Testing Laboratory Analysts of Nigeria (SoLTAN), Dr. Femi Oyediran, said fish stocks have deteriorated due to overfishing.

The group said that, “Unless the reliefs sought are granted, Fashola and the Federal Government will not perform their constitutional and statutory responsibilities to enforce the directives to DISCOs to provide free prepaid meters to all Nigerians. It is in the interest of justice to ensure strict enforcement of directives, deadlines and regulations on provision of free pre-paid meters to all Nigerians, and put an end to estimated billing.”

Nigeria to protect environment through clean energy

Joy Ekeke

The Minister of Labour and Employment,Chris Ngige, has said the federal government of Nigeria will sustain the development of clean sources of energy in the country.

Ngige disclosed that major steps have been taken through huge investments in the development of infrastructures targeting solar, wind and hydro sources of power.

Ngige, said this while responding to the report of the Chairperson and Director-General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) at the ongoing 106th International Labour Conference in Geneva Switzerland.

Ngige who stressed the need for synergy among UN member states observed that: “climate change poses the greatest threat to the world especially Africa, Nigeria is a signatory to the Paris Agreement since 71st United Nations General Assembly and shall continue to contribute to the implementation of the initiative.”

Speaking further, the Minister said that the adverse effects of climate change can be felt everywhere in the ecosystem which has manifested in the difficulties associated with the generation of sustainable income, employment opportunities, eradication of poverty and promotion of better

livelihood for the citizenry.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria has also taken major steps by putting in place huge investments in the development of infrastructures targeting solar wind and hydro as cleaner sources of energy.

“In addition, a Sovereign National Green Bond which is aimed at raising special funds from the capital market that would be used for green projects, especially renewable energy as well as afforestation projects that would help reduce emissions in the line with National Determined Contributions, would soon be launched,” Ngige said.

Ngige disclosed that even be-

fore the Paris Agreement of 2015, Nigeria had put in place several measures to tackle the challenges of climate change by developing road map to stop gas flaring in the country by the year 2020.

Steps taken include: accelerated actions to reduce desertification through the National Agency for Great Green Wall including putting in place of machinery to tackle flooding and cleaning up of oil pollution in the Niger Delta region.

The Minister also conveyed the resolve of Nigeria’s quest for an African continent built on security, inclusive growth and sustainable development through Africa’s Agenda 2063.

FirstBank’s sustainability centre Dangote Foundation donates to 371, 000 IDPs in Bornu Ï#ƈ ƐƏƈƄƑƐƆ MƾƠƠƌ Ɠ ƏƐ Ƈ Ƈ Ɨ ƈƐƆƌ hosts financial strategy workshop In an effort aimed at complimenting government’s humanitarian intervention to bring relief to the victims of insurgency and other Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Bornu state, Africa’s foremost businessman, Aliko Dangote has donated food items worth more than N200 million to the people.

He said he had always felt for those in the IDP camps and that the donation became more urgent given that it is Ramadan period.

Dangote who made the donation through his Foundation, The Aliko Dangote Foundation pledged that he would be willing to compliment any government

efforts designed to ameliorate the suffering of IDPs anywhere in the country.

Chief Executive of the Foundation, Zouera Youssoufou, who made the donation and distribution of the food items on behalf of Dangote explained that the gesture was part of the Foundation’s humanitarian efforts and contributions to the well-being of Nigerians in need.

“This gesture is in continuation of the Group’s efforts to provide succour to internally displaced persons in Borno State”, she stated.

According to her, the decision to bring the food items down to Bornu was a demonstration of the Foundation’s undertaking “to ensure that the IDPs also have a

“The Foundation is providing food items worth N200 Million to support the IDPs in the state.

In emerging economies around the world, NGOs exist to address societal problems- poverty, poor education, deprivation and poor healthcare services.

As much as this responsibility is well embedded in the development and formation of NGOs in Nigeria, there are still issues around how these problems can be sustainably addressed through NGOs with the main question revolving around funding.

To address this challenge, First Bank of Nigeria Limited through its Sustainability initiative, FirstBank Sustainability Centre in partnership with the Lagos Business School is set to host a Sustainable Financial Strategy Workshop for NGOs. The workshop scheduled for

June 14, 2017 from 9:30am to 12:45pm, will hold at the Lagos Business School – Km 22, LekkiEpe Expressway Ajah, Lagos and is designed to bring together NGOs and Funding Organizations, with the intention of enhancing NGOs understanding of implementing internal and external sustainable funding mechanism for the financial sustainability of their entire operations. The workshop which is also expected to attract aspiring NGOs, Donor agencies and Corporate Foundations is also aimed at helping NGOs understand how to foster inclusive partnership with Funding Organizations as a strategic imperative for developing the external component of their sustainable financial strategy.

Inflation: Analysts predict drop to 16.13% in May Stories by Motolani Oseni As National Bureau of Statistics is (NBS) set to announce Consumer Price Index (CPI) and inflation rate for the month of May this week, researchers at FSDH, has predicted further drop in inflation rate to 16.13 per cent for the just concluded month.

In April, NBS had announced 17.24 per cent inflation rate, representing the third consecutive month of a decline attributable to exhibiting effects of some easing in already high food and non-food prices, as well as favourable base effects over 2016 prices.

However, FSDH in its lat-

est report said, “We expect the May 2017 inflation rate (yearon-year) to drop to 16.13per cent from 17.24per cent recorded in the month of April 2017.

“The drop is expected to come mainly as a result of base effect from the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in May 2016, despite the elevated consumer prices recorded in May, 2017.

“The sharp increase in the prices of consumer goods in May, 2017, showed that inflationary pressure persists in Nigeria.

According to FSDH, the monthly Food Price Index (FPI) that the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) released recently shows that the Index re-

bounded in May, 2017, following three months of consecutive decline.

The report by FSDH noted that the Index averaged 172.6 points, 2.19per cent higher than the revised value for April 2017, as all the sub-indices increased except sugar.

According to FSDH, “The FAO Dairy Price Index increased by 5.15per cent in May, as prices for all categories of dairy products were on the increase.

The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index was up by 4.74per cent, primarily driven by increase in both palm and soy oil prices, occasioned by the rising global imports demand, low inventories and robust consump-

tion particularly in the United States.

“The prices of meat have continued to trend upward since the beginning of the year 2017. The FAO Meat Price Index was up 1.47per cent as prices for pig, bovine and ovine meat all increased, while those of poultry meat were stable.

“The FAO Cereal Price Index was up by 1.40per cent, largely on account of the increase in the prices of wheat and rice.”

The researcher at FSDH said the Naira gained 0.15per cent and 3.66per cent to close at N305.40/Dollar and N382/Dollar at both the inter-bank and parallel market at the end of May 2017 respectively.

On this, the report by FSDH

said the appreciation in the Naira is expected to have countered the effect of the rising prices of food at the international market to certain extent.

“This should lead to a moderation in the pass through effect of imported prices on consumer goods in Nigeria. The prices of most of the food items that FSDH research monitored in May 2017, increased substantially.

“Our model indicates that the general price movements in the consumer goods and services in May 2017, would increase the Composite Consumer Price Index (CCPI) to 230.30 points, representing a month-on-month increase of 1.78per cent,” the report added.

‘How high lending rate, forex crisis, deepen banking challenges’

sion and targets growth.

Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and financial stakeholders, including industry experts and bank customers, have continued to cope with various banking-related challenges, which often arise from high lending rate and foreign exchange issues in the last two years, investigation by The Daily Times has revealed.

With the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on the fore front of revamping the forex market, owing to the FX shortage caused by the sharp drop in the global oil prices, there is high expectation by industry watchers of more strategic frame-

works by the apex bank to shore up the naira.

For instance, at the end of May 2015, the Nigerian currency, Naira exchange rate stood at N198 per dollar and N217 per dollar in the interbank market and parallel market respectively, but depreciated significantly to 305, as at February 17, 2017. It however, hit N520 to the dollar at the unofficial market, translating to 54 per cent depreciation and 139 per cent respectively in each market.

Similarly, the sharp depreciation of the Naira and high inflation rate combined to trigger decline in economic activities, which

resulted into Nigeria’s worst economic recession in 25 years.

This, however, occasioned increase in loan default, as many borrowers could not repay their loans.

“The economic headwinds have adversely impacted bank borrowers, resulting in rising NPLs, which required additional provisioning by banks”, the CBN stated.

As a result bad loans recorded by banks tripled to N2.1 trillion at the end of December, 2016, from N628.54 billion, as at June, 2015. This represented increase of 234 per cent, which, again, is the worst

record in the industry history.

Also the industry’s NPL ratio rose from five per cent at end of June 2015 to 14 per cent in December 2016. This was far beyond the regulatory threshold of five per cent.

Explaining the factors responsible for this sharp increase, the CBN, in its Financial Stability Report for 2016 stated: “The deterioration in asset quality was largely attributed to the rising inflationary trend, negative GDP growth and the depreciation of the Naira.”

Meanwhile, the attention of the upper chamber have been drawn to the high

lending rate in the banking system, which has been linked to why some businesses cannot thrive due to the interest rate of 28 per cent mostly charged by the commercial banks.

In a recent interface with journalists, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, promised that the Senate will address the high interest rate charged by banks in the country.

He said that there is no business that can make money, if you are borrowing at 28 per cent, it cannot work, while stressing that high interest rate is not good for the economy, as the nation eases out of reces-

According to him, it is not fair for the banking sector to be making astronomical profit while companies lose money and retrench workers. Hopefully, with the stability of the foreign exchange, we can now begin to address the issue of interest rate.

“There is no business that can make money if you are borrowing at 28 per cent, it cannot work. The Senate would engage financial institutions to arrive at an affordable interest rate, and if they refuse, the Senate may come up with legislation to peg the interest rate,” he added.

Capital Market B4 Afolabi Adesola The Nigerian Stock Exchange’s, NSE’s Oil & Gas index led other sectoral gainers on the exchange by a 17.11 per cent growth for the week ended 9th June, 2017.

According to trading statistics sourced from the NSE, sectoral performance stayed generally bullish, as all other indices finished higher during the week with the exception the NSE ASeM Index that depreciated by 1.74 per cent, while the NSE Insurance Index closed flat.

The Pension Index came next with a growth of 8.96 per cent, Industrial Goods followed with an appreciation of 7.96 per cent, while Banking and Consumer Goods Indices increased 4.91 per cent and 3.86 per cent respectively.

Accordingly, the NSE AllShare Index (ASI) and Market Capitalization appreciated by 6.07 per cent to close the week at 33,276.68 and N11.504 trillion

Daily Times Nigeria Monday, June 12, 2017

NSE: Oil & gas index boosts market by 17.11 % respectively, expanding YTD returns to 23.82 per cent.

Capital market analysts are of the opinion that the equities market gains, which extended to the third week in a row, is driven by both the local and foreign institutional investors.

While analysing the just concluded week, research analysts at Cordros stated that, “We understand the FPIs, encouraged by the improved ease of access to the dollars are keen on their usually preferred consumer goods names, with a few banks, cement, and oil gas companies also on the card.

It would appear this week’s circular by the Central Bank of Nigerai, CBN,, permitting the Authorized Dealers in the FX market (the I&E window specifically) to

henceforth sell their excess FCY trading positions among themselves without seeking prior approval, contributed immensely to the week’s equities rally.”

Market breadth thus remained positive. May & Baker that increased by 58.66 percent led the week’s 59 equities which appreciated in price, lower than 61 appreciated equities of the previous week.

On the other hand, UPL with a decline of 9.66 percent topped 21 equities that depreciated in price, higher than 12 equities of the previous week, while 93 equities remained unchanged lower than one hundred 100 equities recorded in the preceding week.

Total volume traded in 33,677 deals increased by 33.68 percent to 3.1 billion shares from 2.32 bil-

lion traded in 22,310 deals in the prior week, with FBN Holdings, Diamond Bank, and Access Bank accounting for 34.99percent of the market volume.

The value of trades also increased by 34.28 per cent to N29.18 b from N23.81 b, while Zenith Bank, Access and Dangote Cement accounted for 34.28 per cent of total value.

The Financial Services Industry led the activity chart with 2.577 billion shares valued at N16.524 billion traded in 19,831 deals; thus contributing 83.15 per cent and 56.63 per cent to the total equity turnover volume and value respectively.

The Conglomerates Industry followed with 173.544 million shares worth N985.456 million in 1,620 deals.

Economy: Experts express worry over growing debt servicing Cross section of experts have expressed concern on the huge cost of debt servicing the country is bearing, eve n as the federal government’s savings bond’s June allocation is yet to be affected.

The concern, Daily Times gathered was bore out of the rising payments for debts servicing compared to previous years.

An investment analysts company recently in a report noted that domestic debt servicing payments soared from N354bn in 2010 to N1.23trn last year.

According to the report, focus on the domestic payments because they comprise more than 90 per cent of the total burden, and because the FGN’s external debt obligations are mostly concessional and far less costly than its naira borrowing.

“There is a point at which this domestic debt service burden becomes unsustainable, and we are not a million miles away from it”.

Total debt service in the 2016 budget represented a projected 35.4% of total FGN revenue. The ratio was so dire, of course, because the record of revenue collection has been poor. In practice, collection was even poorer than forecast and the actual ratio was above 60%.

The report further poited that the cost of issuing NTBs has soared, to the benefit of the commercial banks (the main buyers).

Since August 2016, the yields on the 364-day paper at auction have settled above 22% (and more than doubled over 12 months.

Total Nigeria: Shareholders excited over 2016 results, rue recession Investors of Total Nigeria Plc has commended the board for an impressive 2016 financial results and approved a dividend of N5.8 billion proposed for the financial year at the company’s 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Lagos on Friday.

The meeting, which served as an avenue to review the financial performance of the prior year, as well as, deliberate on plans recommended by the board, had the shareholders dole out propositions for the current year, following the receipt of the company’s 2016 annual report.

An investor, William Adebayo, who said the 2016 account, aptly titled, an account “Committed to a Sustainable Future,” shows the board of the company has outdone itself in delivering a “Fantastic Total Success”.

He said the results show directors are committed to making shareholders happy, especially with the introduction of other lines of business revenue through the production and sale of Awango lamps, (A solar powered lamp).

He, however, noted that the dwindling purchasing power of the naira makes the dividend proposed little, urging the company to declare a substantial interim dividend soon.

Daily Times Nigeria Monday, June 12, 2017

Stories by Godwin Anyebe The ongoing economic recession in the country, has been impacting all facets of the economy, including the Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR sector. This situation has compelled many firms to scale their commitments to the sector, more so as, they face financial and other operational challenges daily.

Indeed,CSR is usually associated with the term, competitive advantage. Companies compete among themselves to attract more customers to have the highest sales and maximize profits. The winner is the one who can offer cheaper goods; provide interesting and quality service, who can offer to the customer something not offered anywhere else.

Before the economic recession began in Nigeria, CSR was seen as an increasingly relevant source of competitive advantage.

But, with the coming of

B6 CSR

CSR: Recession taking tolls, as companies review activities programmes Ï^Ə ƌ ƈƗ Əè LjMè Ɛ ƆƏ Ƒ ƍƆ Ɨ the economic crisis, analysts became curious about what would happen with the concept of CSR. It was quite apparent that the crisis would affect CSR, but no one knew how.

Some have argued that the companies should dismiss CSR, considering it as an economical burden, but others are of the view that CSR should continue to strengthen and become a benefit to business in times of crisis, makE companies more competitive in an increasingly hostile business environment.

It is also worthy of note that the recession has exposed the importance of CSR and depth of its actual implementation.

Before recession, companies were still learning what CSR is,

and they did not use fully the potential of CSR, as a competitive advantage.

During the recession, however, specific activities and projects were reviewed.

Projects of marginal interest were dismissed and CSR ceased to represent only the allocation of funds for charitable purposes.

CSR has become more targeted.

Daily Times checks shows that, the current recession and its impact directly affected the perception of CSR in companies.

The crisis, which continuously developed in the recession, has hit companies, especially financially. The sphere of CSR experienced a significant decrease of all spending on socially responsible activities. Sub-

sequently, there has been a review of specific activities and projects.

Indeed, projects of marginal interest were rejected, and CSR ceased to represent only the allocation of funds and donation.

Quite as expected, the most affected area was the social, and the least affected was environmental area.

For example, the Promassidor quill award for excellence in journalism, and MTN Project Fame, were rested in this year.

The report also show that companies are trying to solve their problems in accordance with the principles of social responsibility and they found that CSR does not mean only costs, which in time of recession, decrease earnings down-

ward, but it is something to rely on in times of crisis.

Companies began to seek the benefits of CSR, not only in terms of a reputation, but also financially.

These options are found in the social, economic and environmental spheres. In the environmental area, the plan was to streamline the running of projects and the search for savings, especially, in energy (more efficient heating and heat recovery systems, power off electrical devices, etc.).

Speaking to Daily Times, a public relations expert, Remi Olowu said; “There must a shift from reactive to proactive CSR. Companies must begin to understand CSR more conceptually and strategically. All companies must, as a matter of deliberate policy, drop from the support of smaller projects and strongly focus on projects that are in line with their business activities, to enhance their competitiveness in unstable time of economic recession.”

He said, “In the future, all companies would consider CSR more strategically and targeting their projects better. They must support, especially those projects which have proved to be effective, rather than new projects that would like to enrich the current dimension of CSR.” In the social area, she continued, that they must return benefits for employees and again support social or cultural events, which were very limited due to the recession. Companies should also place great emphasis on developing the relationship with stakeholders and getting feedback. In accordance with the current trend,

companies should also focus more on volunteering, which is very beneficial and does not require too much financial support.

In another development, a survey carried out by Daily Times reveal that, in future, CSR should not only underline business strategy and contribute to the reputation of the company, but also increase its value and competitiveness.

The report also shows that companies follow a strategy of differentiation based on CSR, in particular because, it creates protection against actions of competitors, since customers are more loyal to the brand and less sensitive to price changes, an extremely important fact, especially in time of recession. A high standard of implementation of CSR was found in all companies. The focus of the companies on all areas of social responsibility is more comprehensive in the environmental area. In the field of environment, they place a particular emphasis on international standards.

High requirements for this area stem largely from the need to obey the law and directives.

According to the findings, focusing on environmental issues is also given by allowing the well to set measurable targets, such as measuring carbon footprints and the like. This is demonstrated by the fact that companies monitor the value of their key indicators. The popularity of environmental projects also lies in the fact that often, they bring a reduction in costs due to energy savings. Caring for the environment stands very high in values of companies.

Shoprite’s business adding value to local products, entrepreneurships Shoprite Nigeria, continues to reaffirm its commitment to locally manufactured products with its ‘Made- in- Nigeria’ initiative, which has benefited local producers and customers alike.

The majority of products sold by Shoprite Nigeria are sourced locally and by pledging to stock even

more local produce across its twenty three stores, Shoprite is highlighting its commitment to the growth of the Nigerian economy.

‘Made in Nigeria’ includes a series of quarterly gatherings, where local manufacturers can network and showcase their goods. These gatherings have helped strengthen the

relationship between Shoprite and local manufacturers, and have enabled manufacturers to identify new markets for their products.

Speaking on this development recently in Lagos, Managing Partner at Integrated Factory Foods, Akhibi Onoke, “said that the benefits of being able to sell Naija Sweet Rice in

Shoprite stores has risen with empirical evident.”

Onoke, who started supplying to Shoprite four months ago, said: “The big advantage for us is that our products are available in twenty three stores nationwide, which increased our market and provided us with growth opportunities.

The fact that people see the

goods in Shoprite gives us a level of credibility. We are gaining a lot of mileage from that and the exposure to the retailers customer base is definitely working for us.”

Entrepreneur and Managing Director of Pally Agro Products, Anwuli Onyeagu, who makes Banga fresh palm fruit

extracts, has been a part of the Shoprite ‘Made in Nigeria’ initiative for over three months. She said sales volumes of her products increased by over 40% during the period.

Shoprite is confident that ‘Made in Nigeria’ would boost local suppliers and helps grow the economy.

Business Interview

FG should release Paris Club’s refund - Mr. Mahmoud Yunusa, Chairman, Finance Commissioners’ Forum The Finance Commissioners’ Forum, an umbrella body of the finance commissioners of the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has urged the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, release the second tranche of the Paris Club’s Refund to enable the state governments to pay salaries and pensions arrears.The Chairman of the Forum and Commissioner of Finance, Adamawa State, Mr Mahmoud Sali Yunusa, in this interview with MATHEW DADIYA, said many state governments have keyed into the implementation of the Economic Recovery Growth Plan (ERGP), among other national issues.

There was a decline in the April Federation’s Allocation.

As the Chairman of Finance Commissioners’ Forum, what do you think is responsible for the shortfall and its implication for the economy, especially the states?

Though, most of the commissioners of finance from the states were in Abuja with the hope that the revenue for this month will witness a kind of growth, but we would not say we were dismayed. The decline in revenue is not far-fetched from the economic situation confronting the country, but be it as it may, if you look at some of the economic indices, you will find out that the revenue generated from the oil and gas sector of the economy is encouraging. It was good, the future is bright and the areas we experienced significant decrease is the non-oil sector, which comprises the Customs, Federal Inland Revenue Service, and the solid mineral revenue.

That is what is responsible for the decline, but no hope is lost.

Most importantly, from the statistics we have seen and based on global oil price, coupled with the level of stability we have in then Niger Delta, we have high high hope that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. In the coming months, the revenue is projected to have significant increase, because the areas where we have downturn in revenue, we have encouraged them to improve their target for the month.

Therefore, arm chair revenue projection would not be accepted henceforth, they need to go out and ensure that revenues are generated in line with their monthly targets.

Nigeria has been in recession for two years now. The minister of finance and many other government officials have said that the country would be out of recession soon, even the World Bank

state governments with funds in terms of bail out, loans restructuring into Federal Government bonds, the Paris Club Refund and the Budget Support Facility Fund. Those are very wonderful policies formulated by the Federal Government to ensure that the states come out of the woods.

So, what I really mean by saying that the Federal Government should assist the states is that it needs to sustain the states in terms of budget facility support and also to facilitate faster, the release of the second trenche of the Paris Club Refund, that way the states would be able to pay salaries.

Some states still owe salary arrears, if this fund are released, and I know that the governors in some of the states would quickly clear those arrears, if those inflows had come to the states. Now that it is very clear, we need to be careful, we need to slowdown in our some of our expenditures, we need to ensure that we pay salaries in our respective states, because if we pay salaries, at least, economic activities would boom, the atmosphere would be calmed and the polity would also be calm.

and the IMF, in their recent reports, also placed Nigeria on a positive growth position, but the statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics in May, 2017, showed that the economy contracted by 0.5% in first quarter. Isn’t it a cause for concern?

If you look at the recession that we are in now, it did not just start in 2015. it started long before now. We kept on experiencing negative growth in our GDP, but no charismatic or pragmatic approach was taken to forestall the situation and prevent the country from slipping into recession until it entered into a negative growth.

But, looking at the global oil prices and the stability that we have gained in the oil producing areas and the figures, certainly, we have hope. Technically, it is projected that Nigeria will be out of recession by fourth quarter, plus or minus. Again if you look at it critically, the economy is on firm recovery drive.

Nigerians should be patient; and the government needs to look at funding the power sector to propel the economy, government needs to fund agriculture and most importantly, the Federal Government needs to look at the funding structure of states, because the components of the states make up the Federal Government. If the states cannot pay salary, then there would chaos; and it would affect the Federal Government directly.

Governments should look at how to resuscitate the states and save them from financial decline. The states also must look inward and see the potential that they have, which hitherto, they have not been taking advantages of; such opportunities to generate revenue. For example, states must give attention to adequate generation of internally generated revenue, which would further complement whatever

Yunusa shortfall that may arise from the Federal Government’s allocation. We should be able to augment such gap.

At the same time, states need to be very careful now in their expenditure. They need to slow down in capital expenditure, they need to shut down white elephant projects that would not add immediate value to the people; and they need to concentrate on recurrent expenditure, especially salary payment must not stop. Above all, they must must also imbibe saving’s culture, because no one can predict precisely what the revenue flow would be in the future.

All we that we are talking about, are projections and not realities. Reality happens on that day; on the day of reckoning, so, we need to be very careful in states. The finance commissioners in the states are saddled with the responsibility to advice their principals financially. They need to cut a lot of costs, take off the fats where you don’t need them.

They must make sure that all expenditures had to be extremely necessary and extremely needed to be incurred before they are incurred.

You did mention that the Federal Government needs to help the states, but the FG has supported state governments in many aspects, like the Bail Out Fund, which was meant

to offset salaries, the monthly interest-free loan, the Paris Club Refund amongst other policies, whereas, there were allegations of abuse by some governors, hasn’t the Federal Government done enough for the states?

This is the reason we are going out of recession, if your economy is recessed, that means the purchasing power of people is down. If you look at Nigeria, for example, Borno and Yobe states in the north, they are badly affected by insurgency; and that crisis also brought down their GDP and financial independence. With the exception of Lagos, Kano and Kaduna states to some extent, Rivers state, and, maybe, Akwa Ibom state, most of the states are salary-based states; and if there is anything that need to be done,it is the complete restructuring of the revenue structure by the states.

It is not something that will give you result within a twinkling of an eye. No. It takes time before it starts yielding result.

But, the most beautiful thing about it is that, if you persist and persevere, at the end of the day, you will see the result and you would have to come up with a deliberate policy that will sustain these results for higher and greater performance.

Of course, the Federal Government has supported the

But there have been allegations of missing and siphoning of the first trench of the Paris club refund by some state governments. Now, you are calling for the release of the second tranche. Do you think the states would utilize this money prudently?

I don’t know which state has siphoned or diverted the Paris club refund. If you have such refunds, if such money are not capture in your budget, the moment they are release to your state, you need to appropriate it. The state houses of assembly need to appropriate such funds and ensure the executive utilize the fund in line with the provisions of the budget.

What would you advice governments, both in the states and at the federal levels, on the best way to exit recession?

We are almost out as you have heard, our GDP is -0.5 from about -1.7 and this signifies hope. As I have said earlier, in the next couple of months, we should be out of recession, but the most important thing is that, if we are out of recession, the citizens should know that we are out of recession not technically and not theoretically, it has still to be practical. Salaries should be one of the basic obligations of the government, still. Why I am saying government?

Reasons your natural hair is growing too slowly Mutiat Alli Do you ever see natural hair which is as old as yours but longer? Does your natural hair feel it’s growing so slow? There are reasons your hair could be breaking more than it’s growing.

Pulling Hair Too Tight: It’s trendy and makes your braids look amazing but having your hair braided too tight or pulled back in a tight bun weakens your hair follicles and cause it to shed. You see those white-looking things on your scalp when you have tight braids in? Particularly the edges that look like dandruff, if you take a closer look at it, you would notice those white things are bulb-like and that’s sign of your hair strands being pulled forcefully from the follicle. This can lead to Traction Alopecia.

Relaxed Hair: It isn’t news that relaxers cause our natural hair to break. These creamy substances which are supposed to straighten the hair are laden with chemicals that are quite dangerous. This is why a lot of people are dumping relaxers are joining the natural hair carcus, they can’t believe they’ve been missing out on healthy hair. Nonetheless, some

are still sticking to relaxers and growing long hair with it. One of their rules include relaxing oncetwice a year amongst others.

Too Much Dye: Dyes alter the structure of the hair especially if you are going blond which is always almost the case.

Going blond from a dark colour requires your hair to be stripped in order to go two to three shades lighter. This is usually the work of bleaching. Dying your hair is however not all bad if you take care of your hair. Dying your hair means it is easily dry and susceptible to breakage, the logical thing to do would be adding all the moisture your hair lacks through conditioning.

Too Much petroleum or Mineral Oil-Laden Products: A lot of products which are supposed to make your hair shine or even grow fast contain these products in excesses.

Making use of much of these products on your hair to give you the result advertised on the package will cause more harm than good.

Trimmed Split Ends: Split ends happen when the ends of your hair are disregarded.

It’s very common to get carried away with applying creams and

oils to the scalp and the body of your hair that you forget to pay attention to the ends.

The ends are the oldest part of your hair and are more fragile if not taken care of. So remember to seal your ends after moisturizing, be careful not to over comb your hair or doing anything that would result in them being dry. If you are experiencing split ends,

do not hold on to them, have them trimmed the moment you notice them.

Cotton on your Hair: There’s a reason natural hair experts advocate sleeping with satin or silk scarf on or using a satin pillow case. The reason being that cotton is very absorbent so using cotton scarves or sleeping on a cotton pillow case will have the cotton

material sucking in moisture from your hair. So invest in satin or silk scarves, they are actually prettier than cotton scarves.

Wrong Protective Style: Every natural hair guru swears one of the ways to growing long hair is by protective styles. Wearing protective styles like braids, weaves, wigs ensure that your hands are away from your hair and give it a rest from all the combing and other manipulations. A lot of people however forget about their underneath. If you neglect it, it will do more harm than good, resulting in a lot of breakage.

Too Much Heat: For the naturals, it’s common to want straight hair from time to time or bigger hair with even more volume. Heat appliances do these and they are not bad on their own. Using them constantly is however bad for your hair especially when you are not caring for them.

Even if you are, taking a break from using heat appliances will produce great results.

Not Moisturizing: Not moisturizing your hair means you absolutely cannot be bothered about the life of your hair. African natural hair tends to get dry easily, and when it’s dry it breaks resulting in hair loss.

The reason hair breaks more than it grows is dryness. Anything that sucks the moisture out of your hair will result in breakage.
