Discos need $4.3bn to improve power supply - TCN Says it has so far received $1.6bn from multi-lateral donors to execute power projects

Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Thursday said that for power supply to improve in the country, at least $4.3 billion must be reinvested into the sector to help recapitalise the Discos.

TCN’s Managing Director, Usman Mohammed, during the company’s quarterly news conference in Abuja on

Thursday, noted that of the $4.3bn, the Federal Government will have to bring in its own 40 per cent stake in each of the 11 power Discos in the country amounting to $1.7bn while the Discos will have to provide the remaining balance.

“To correct the wrong in power distribution, we have to recapitalise the Discos. To recapitalise the Discos, the investors have to bring new money and that means they have to bring new partners. And what we are saying is Continued on page 3

‘Discos need $4.3bn to improve power supply’

Continued from page 1

that the government cannot be passive anymore.

“The intention was that the government would own 40 per cent in the firms and we are saying the government should bring its own 40 per cent capital. We have simulated the grid to determine the investment requirement of the Discos and we have come with $4.3bn,”Mohammed stated.

According to him, the money when shared among the 11 Discos, each distribution company will have to contribute $500m, the equivalent of its 60 per cent share.

He, however, warned that the owners of Discos should not bring money from commercial banks rather they should bring their own 60 per cent.

“When this is divided based on our study, you are going to get about $500m per Disco and we believe our study is credible. So, we are saying the government should bring its own 40 per cent of $4.3bn, which is about $1.7bn. We also said that this money can be

raised.

“The government was supposed to collect about $1bn from the World Bank for the Discos. We know that the African Development Bank and the World Bank are talking about another $1bn for distribution expansion.

We are saying that the money should also be put into the recapitalisation of the Discos.

“If we get this money that is coming in, $1.7bn on the side of government, we will insist that the owners of Discos should also bring the same type of money. They should not bring money from commercial banks.

They should bring their own 60 per cent.”

Also, he disclosed that TCN has so far received $1.6bn from multi-lateral donors to execute some power projects that will boost power supply in the country.

“As at today, the amount we have raised from multi-lateral donors has risen to 1.6 billion dollars to execute some power projects in the country.

“These projects include the Abuja Wheeling Scheme that

will bring five sub-stations and bring a new supply route to the territory.

“The new route will be from Lafia to Abuja with 330 Kilo Volt (KV) line and two 330KV sub-stations in Abuja and put addition three numbers 132 KV sub-stations in the territory,’’ he said.

He expressed optimism that with the rate of upgrade carried on by TCN at least 2,000 to 3,000mw would be recovered which means that the grid capacity will move from 8,000MW to at least 10,000 MW, even as he blamed the distribution companies for not matching such successes with corresponding proportional upgrade at their end.

While speaking on the successes recorded so far, Mohammed revealed that out of the 800 power equipment containers abandoned at the ports due to tariff related issues, the company has succeeded in recovering 775 containers even as he noted that two were declared missing while one was found empty.

Presidential poll: INEC cancelled results in PDP strongholds in Kaduna, Borno - Witness Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Presidential election petition tribunal on Thursday heard that the independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) connived with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and cancelled election results in some local government areas where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored the highest votes cast during the February 23 Presidential election in Kaduna and Borno states.

John Makama, the Petitioners’ witness number 24 who served as the Peoples Democratic Party’s collation agent in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State and Adams Ali Sani, a PDP collation agent in Jere local government of Borno State and petitioner witness number 26, stated this in their testimonies before the tribunal.

Makama said the results of the poll in the stronghold of his party were cancelled by the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The witnesses were testifying in the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and PDP challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari before the five man justices of the Court of Appeal headed by Justice Mohammed Garba.

Makama further told the tribunal in his evidence -in -chief that the election in Saga Local Government Area of Kaduna State was marred by illegal cancellation of votes.

Under cross-examination by the respondents’ counsel, Makama said the results were

cancelled in his presence at the local government collation centre by the INEC’s local government collation officer and not at the polling units where the election took place.

He said “it is an aberration that results from wards and polling units were cancelled. The election held at the polling units, but the cancellations happened at the local government collation centre. The results from the petitioners’ stronghold were illegally cancelled. It is an open fact that political parties have stronghold where they are dominant.”

He said of the 11 wards in Sanga Local Government Area, the APC was only strong in three.

Under cross-examination

by Buhari’s lawyer, Yusuf Ali (SAN), Makama could not respond when told that cancellation of results in Sanga Local Government Area was not part of the case presented by the petitioners in their petition.

In his testimony, Adams Ali Sani, the PDP collation agent at Jere Local government area of Borno State, told the tribunal he did not receive result sheet from some of party agents because there was no election in many wards and form EC8A was not issued due to insurgency.

He said that as the party collation agent, he supervised and monitored the election before returning at the collation centre.

“There was five bombing incidence on that day particularly at Hamari and we did not have access to Form EC8A. No voting in the area, so we cannot even talk about counting of votes”

Yaro Yusuf, a PDP Local government agent also from Bauchi, told the tribunal that the result sheet from his local government was torn.

Jafaru Abba Ibrahim, a very senior member of bar from Kaduna State who was called to bar in 1981 and who served as Local government collation agent, under cross examination

by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) said that he signed the election result sheet just to confirm that he was present.

Under cross examination by Charles Edosumwan (SAN) counsel to APC, Ibrahim admitted that he chased away the APC supporters who were being transported from one polling unit to the other casting votes. He said though there was restriction in Zaria local government, the supporters of APC were allowed to move about in trucks.

Also in Kaduna State, Dr. Abdulrahman Usman, a collation agent, said that Form EC8A was not made available in several polling units in Kaduna North Local government areas.

Under cross examination by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) whether President Buhari spoke English Language as a visitor to Ahamadu Bello University in 1984 and 1985, the witness said he heard Buhari address the nation in English language as a military Head of State who came power under the barrel of gun.

Four other witnesses: Major Yahaya Dikko (rtd), Nicholas Mshelica, Khalid Yewal Kugo and Buka Petrus also testified on Thursday.

Hearing at the tribunal continues today.

Africa losing over $50bn to corrupt leaders - EFCC Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

The Economic and Financial Commission (EFCC) has said that the African continent is losing over fifty billion dollars to illegally acquired assets.

The commission said this on Thursday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, during a walk to mark the 3rd African Union (AU) Anti-Corruption Day rally with the theme: “Towards a Common African Position on Asset Recovery’’.

Speaking during the rally, the zonal head of EFCC, Mr. Ishiaku Sharu, said there is the need to strengthen International Cooperation among anti-corruption agencies in Africa for the purpose of developing a common position framework on assets recovery and return.

“The continent is losing over $50 billion yearly due to illegally acquired assets allocated all over the world and the process of tracing, freezing, management and eventual repatriation of assets is a long process, hence the need for the involvement of relevant instruments through international cooperation to repatriate stolen assets back to Africa,” he said.

He said the aim of the walk was to bring together all relevant anticorruption stakeholders (Domestic and international) to reflect on the challenges of assets recovery in Africa and solicit contributions and support towards developing a framework for an African common position on assets recovery as well as to create awareness and engage the citizens in assets recovery efforts.

Sharu also added that the effort of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in the fight against corruption in Nigeria had brought significant recovery of looted assets

acquired through mismanagement of public finds.

Kwara State Director of National Orientation Agency, Segun Adeyemi, who said that the presence of EFCC in the state is making impact with securing of conviction of some internet fraudsters, called on the society to guard against corruption.

The walk which commenced from EFCC office took participants through the Ahmadu Bello way, Challenge, Post office, Offa road, Tanke junction and ended at the EFCC office.

Shaku therefore appealed to all the stakeholders to join hands with the commission to ensure recovery of our common patrimony carted away by the looters, most importantly with the recent whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government.

Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday solicited the support of trade unions and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to facilitate mass education against corruption.

The South-East Zonal Head of the commission, Mr. Usman Imam, solicited the support at the 3rd African Anticorruption Day celebration in Enugu.

Imam said that the effect of corruption had become hydra headed that CSOs, professional bodies, trade unions and others were needed to be fully involved in the fight against it.

He said that the EFCC was committed to winning the corruption war no matter how long it took, adding that to do that “Nigerians needed to join in the fight.

“Until Nigerians are determined to expose and hold public officials accountable for their stewardship and not see the fight from ethnic, political or religious perspectives, the war might never be won,” he said.

The EFCC zonal head said that the Federal Government had particularly

Magu made the fight against corruption and the recovery of stolen assets a key agenda for the current administration.

“This has translated to significant recoveries of public funds,” he said.

He said that the African anticorruption day had its roots on series of events leading to an African Union Convention on Prevention and Combating Corruption adopted in Maputo, Mozambique on July 11, 2003.

“In cognizance of this, the African Union adopted July 11 as the African Anti-corruption Day and this year will mark the 3rd edition of the event,” he said.

Imam said that the objective of the event was to bring together all relevant anti-corruption stakeholders to reflect on the challenges of asset recovery in Africa.

He said that the event would be used to also solicit contributions and support toward a framework for an African Common Position on Asset Recovery.

“According to the High Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows (IFF), the continent is losing in excess of 50 billion US Dollars annually through illicit financial outflows.

“A large portion of these outflows is made up of illegally acquired assets that are located all over the world.

“In Nigeria, just as every other African countries marking the occasion, we have been served with a very high dosage of the poison called corruption,” he said.

Imam said that Nigeria had one of the most far-reaching and deeply entrenched culture of corruption in the African continent.

“This is manifested in the increasing large number of corruption related investigations, litigations, convictions and recoveries made by the EFCC,” Imam added.

The event which had in attendance, officers of relevant government agencies, featured a road march around Enugu metropolis.

Ministerial list not with us, Senate affirms Urges FG to enlighten business community on benefits of AFCTA

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Expectations of millions of Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will hit the ground of his second term in office running with the appointment of his cabinet ministers was dashed on Thursday as the Senate denied receiving the ministerial list.

The Senate revealed on Thursday that it is not in custody of names of nominees for ministerial appointment by the President.

This is contrary to the hope raised by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday that President Buhari may forward ministerial list to the Senate before the end of this week.

Senate Ad - hoc Committee Chairman on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye disclosed during a chat with the Senate press corps that the chamber is not in possession of any ministerial list.

Adeyeye said senators are anxious to work on the ministerial nominee list and screen all nominees immediately names of nominees

were presented by the President who has the constitutional duty to do so.

Adeyeye said: “We cannot keep the list, if the list is transmitted to the President of the Senate, it will be read immediately. We are too eager; like I have told you we want to hit the ground running.

“This is an activity that is not within our control and there is nothing we can do about it. Like I said here two or three days ago, this matter is not within the control of the Senate.

“We cannot generate the list on our own; the constitution does not permit us to do that.

“The constitution has assigned responsibility to various part of government, and it is the prerogative of the executive to nominate ministers which will then be confirmed by the Senate.

“Until that duty is undertaken by the executive there is nothing we can do about that. Whether we are hopeful or not is neither here nor there.”

In another development, the Senate has urged the Federal Government to enlighten the Nigerian business community to leverage on the immense benefits of

the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCTA) agreement.

It also charged the Federal Government to be the main driving force for the success of Nigeria’s membership by ensuring that policies and programmes are in large part consistent with the mission and vision of the agreement.

In addition, the Senate called on the government to continue its current policy of improving national infrastructure such as electricity, roads and other basic necessities in order to bring about reduction in the cost of production and thus make products produced in Nigeria globally competitive.

The upper chamber went ahead to commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his strong political and economic will in accepting to sign the agreement in spite of earlier misgivings which have been put to rest by the Presidential Technical Committee on the matter.

These decisions followed a motion sponsored by Sen. Barau Jibrin (Kano North) and 44 others at plenary on Thursday.

The Senate was delighted that after the long expectation, President

Buhari at the 12th Extraordinary Summit of the African Union in Niamey, Niger Republic signed the agreement to formally become a member of AFCTA. Leading the motion, Sen. Jibrin said signing the agreement has ended the heightened expectations of Nigerians on the desirability or otherwise of the country’s membership of the continental body.

Jibrin expressed delight that the country’s membership of AFCTA came into existence in March 2018 following the adoption of the phase 1 (one) of the agreement by Heads of State and government at their 10th Extraordinary Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.

He said Nigeria declined to sign the agreement in Kigali because of the agitations and apprehensions by the private sector in Nigeria on the premise that membership of the AFCTA would make Nigeria a dumping ground for goods and services from other African countries.

Sen. Jibrin noted that the consent of Nigeria followed the recommendations of the Presidential committee set up to make wider consultations on the benefits or otherwise of Nigeria’s membership.

News 5 Buhari directs uniform services, hospitals to patronise local textile industries

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed all uniform services and hospitals to patronise Nigerian Cotton, Textile and Garment (CTG) industries to grow the economy.

The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, disclosed this at a meeting with the Service Chiefs and stakeholders from the CTG sector in Abuja on Thursday.

Emefiele explained that for the present administration to tackle unemployment and grow the economy, the CTG sector must be revived.

“We have the mandate of the Mr President to ensure all the uniform services and theatre wears in hospitals and medical facilities are sourced locally from CTG industries.

“Already, Bureau of Public Procurement has been notified to enforce compliance among the Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the government.

“Our model to achieve this directive or mandate is to facilitate long term contract at least five years or more with these people.

“We want to have our armed forces and other uniform men to be kitted in wears produced here or using local fabrics and textile materials,” he said.

He said the CBN was not naive of the fact that the jobs of the uniform men required special and quality materials as well as the security around the wears.

The governor pledged that the team that would be raised by the bank would work with their nominees to ensuring requisite quality and security associated with the uniforms.

“Your nominees will also join our team to inspect CTG factories to ensure their readiness to be engaged in the long term contract of this nature.

“We shall also work out payment term that fits budget releases for uniforms of various organisations.

“If this is actualised, with your support and cooperation, it will impact positively on CTG sector and Nigerian’s economy at large,” he added.

Emefiele said the apex bank had started to support the sector from the bottom by funding cotton seeds for the farmers to produce quality cottons.

The representatives of Nigerian Army, Navy, Customs, Immigration, Federal Road Safety Corps, Civil Defence Corps and NYSC, among others, who attended the meeting pledged to support by patronising the industries to boost the economy of the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there was exhibition from different CTG sectors showcasing their products at the event.

Minority leadership tussle: Elumelu, others appear before Ayu Committee

Reconciliation will not factionalise party, committee assures

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Members of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alleged to have disobeyed party’s directives in the election of House of Representatives minority leadership positions on Thursday appeared before the committee set up by PDP’s Board of Trustees.

Recall that the BoT had on Tuesday named a five man fact finding Committee headed by former Senate President, Dr. Iyorcha Ayu, to look into roles played by seven members of the party in the minority leadership crisis in the House of Representatives.

House Minority Leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumulu led the six others and more than 50 colleagues from the House Minority Caucus to storm the private residence of Dr. Ayu at about 12.40 pm in two coaster and one luxury buses and few personal cars.

Though journalists were not allowed into the private discussion, other lawmakers who were on solidarity were excused before the meeting entered into an exclusive session.

The chairman, Sen. Ayu told

journalists “Elders are meeting and it is a family affair.”

But a member of the Committee unofficially said that members have met shortly before the arrival of the summoned and have taken a firm decision.

“We are planning reconciliation and not confrontation with the invited members. Whatever decision reached by this committee will ensure peace. It will not factionalise the party”, he said.

“The minority Caucus resolved to give unalloyed support to the Elumelu leadership because the issue at hand is not that of Elumelu alone but an issue that concerns every member in the opposition in the Green Chamber,” he added..

One of the representatives from the South West told the media in confidence that all PDP members from the South West are solidly behind the election of Hon. Segun Adekoya as Deputy Minority Whip.

The chairman of the party’s BoT, Sen. Walid Jibril while naming the committee on Tuesday, said: “I assure you that the issue of House of Representatives will soon be solved by the party. We must ensure that we do not break this party. The party will continue and nobody will make any attempt to

Elumelu do away with our party”.

Other members of the Committee are former Senate Presidents David Mark and Adolphus Wabara and former deputy Senate President Ibrahim Mantu while former deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon.Austin Opara is the secretary.

The committee has one week to submit its report.

The PDP NWC had earlier suspended for one month, Reps.

Elumelu, Tobi Okechukwu,

Segun Adekoya, Wole Oke Lynda Ikpeazu and others accused of frustrating the emergence of Hon. Kingsley Chinda as the preferred Minority leader, asking them to face a disciplinary committee.

The party had forwarded to the Speaker by the PDP a list that include names of Hon. Kingsley Chinda - Minority Leader, Hon. Chukwuka Onyema- Deputy Minority Leader, Hon. Yakubu Barde - Minority Whip, and Hon. Muraina Ajibola - Deputy Minority Whip.

Jonathan wants implementation of 2014 confab report

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday called for the implementation of the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference.

He made the call in Lagos while speaking at the launch of a book to commemorate the 80th birthday of a frontline politician, Sen. Femi Okurounmu.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the book, a memoir by the politician, is titled ”The Dream: Pursuing the Black Renaissance Through The Murky Waters of Nigerian Politics”.

Jonathan said he convened the conference during his administration to address some of the challenges the country was facing.

He said that some of the challenges were still with the country today, and he believed they would be addressed if the recommendations were implemented. ”Our country is faced on all corners by a multiplicity of challenges, bothering mainly on security and national cohesion.

“Although these problems are not new, the discord has continued to widen over time. ”I understand that efforts are being made toward addressing some of these challenges, however, we seem to play politics with sensitive and serious matters. ”The call for reforms has continued to grow louder, gathering the kind of momentum that should no longer be overlooked, if the nation must make real progress. ”I believe that the solutions to most of the problems we face today lie in our honest assessment of the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference. ”If we take politics out of our consideration, there is every likelihood that a diligent implementation of the key recommendations of the conference will lead the nation out of the woods,” he said.

Jonathan, who was chairman of the book launch, said he believed the implementation of the conference report would heal frayed nerves and promote solidarity.

He said it would also engender peace and reposition the nation for meaningful growth and sustainable development.

On why his administration could not carry out the implementation of the conference recommendations, Jonathan said the report was submitted to him toward the twilight of his tenure.

He said he got the report when elections were approaching, and the executive and legislature were very busy preparing for the polls.

The former president said the implementation of the recommendations of the conference required amendment of the constitution and the National Assembly did not have the time to go through the process. ”I noticed that each time I express this belief and optimism, I always get hit with the counter narrative that seems to question my inability to implement the recommendations during my presidency. ”This is a question I have answered in many fora. In my book,”My Transition Hours”, Chapter 10 provided detailed answers in this regard. ”My administration was prepared to change the narrative for our constitutional democracy with the assurance that sovereignty really belongs to the people. ”However, we were time constrained. The conference was concluded less than one year to the end of my tenure. ”We received the report specifically on August 21, 2014, at a time the nation was in the mood of electioneering. ”Then, the members of the National Assembly, whose duty it was to consider and validate the process, were pre-occupied with the battle of political survival. ”I believed that given the nature of the consultations and due deliberations involved in advancing the process, an orderly and systematic implementation could have been concluded in less than a year. ”It was obvious we did not have that time before the end of my

administration,” he said.

Jonathan said his administration did not insist on a rushed implementation because he did not want be seen to have organised the conference to gain political popularity.

He said he was glad that the conference was a success, and thanked Okurounmu, who was the Presidential Adviser on the project, for doing a good job.

The former president also described the politician as a great author who was not given to politics of bitterness.

He said Okurounmu was one of the critics of his administration, but his observations were always constructive and helpful.

Jonathan commended the politician for documenting his experiences in the memoir, saying the book would provide great lessons for the. present generation and posterity. ”He has shown courage by documenting some of his experiences in the course of his glorious service to his nation and community for the sake of posterity,” he said.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Anthony Adefuye, described Okurounmu as a brilliant scholar who had contributed his best to nation-building .

He said the choice of Okurounmu as the Presidential Adviser on the 2014 National Conference attested to his relevance as a political leader.

The APC chieftain, who was the chief launcher at the occasion, said the politician was his lecturer at the University of Lagos and did well as a teacher. ”He was my lecturer and I was his student. He displayed great brilliance as a teacher.

“I am proud of his achievements both in politics and the university,” he said.

Also speaking, Pro-Chancellor of Unilag, Dr Wale Babalakin, said he met Okurounmu at the Government College, Ibadan, where both of them were students.

He said the politician’s achievements in life were not by accident, as he showed great promises

as a student then.

The reviewer of the book, Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, said the 669-page book was a mix of the political and personal experiences of the author.

Awolowo-Dosunmu, Chairman of African Newspaper Nigeria PLC, Publishers of Nigerian Tribune, said that the memoir revealed what many people did not know about the politician.

She said that the author shared his thoughts on national issues in the piece, using clear and accessible language .

The reviewer said one of Okurounmu’s suggestions was structural and institutional reforms to address the problems of the country.

She described the politician as a great man who had contributed immensely to nation-building.

Speaking, Okurounmu decried the state of affairs in the country and called for the necessary interventions to move the nation forward.

He said the only solution to the security challenges and other problems was for the country to adopt restructuring. ”The way forward to make the continuing unity of Nigeria a patriotic goal is to restructure the polity and revert quickly to the Federal constitution under which Nigeria became independent. ”Without restructuring back to federalism, I have no hesitation in declaring that Nigeria’s development will continue on a downward path, and the state of social disharmony and security will continue to heighten,” he said.

Okurounmu said he wrote the book to share his thoughts on the country and reveal what many might not know about him.

He thanked the former president as well as other dignitaries for gracing the book launch, saying he felt appreciated with their presence.

NAN reports that a former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel; a leader of the PanYoruba group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; and the Secretary of the group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, were some of the other dignitaries at the occasion.

FG saves N288bn from IPPIS, N10trn from TSA- OAGF

Says N50bn mopped up from banks due to TSA implementation

The Federal Government has saved over N288 billion through the implementation of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) from April 2007 till date.

Office of the Account General of the Federation (OAGF) revealed this on Thursday in Abuja when the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation visited the office on Peer Review Mechanism of Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) exercise.

The presentation was made by the Director of Information Technology Department of the OAGF, Mr. Afolabi Ajayi.

Ajayi said the IPPIS scheme was one of the Federal Government’s reform initiatives designed to achieve a centralised payroll system of the Federal Government.

He said that the IPPIS also facilitated easy storage, updating and retrieval of personal records for administrative and pensions processing to aid manpower planning and budgeting as well as to comply with global best practice.

Ajayi explained that money saved was as a result of the difference between the amount government would have released to those MDAs based on appropriation and the actual amount released and paid through IPPIS. “The IPPIS has made it possible for prompt and regular payment of salaries to public servants.

“The system has also facilitated prompt deductions and remittances to the accounts of all third parties stakeholders such as PFAs, NHIS, NHF and cooperative societies.

“506 MDAs with total staff strength of 344,625 are on the IPPIS platform with the gross pay

of about N49.07 billion as at Sept.

2018,” he disclosed.

Ajayi revealed that the Federal Government had also collected over N10 trillion from the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) from 1,674 MDAs. He said that under TSA, government was able to save over N45 billion monthly in interest on ways and means that it used to pay before the full implementation of the TSA. Ajayi disclosed that N50 billion had so far been mopped up from commercial banks as a result of TSA implementation.

“Other achievements recorded since TSA became fully operational include the elimination of cash handling costs and ability to determine consolidated Federal Government cash position.

“There has also been significant improvement on Federal Government liquidity position, improved revenue collection mechanism through e-collection and better cash management capabilities,” he said.

Ajayi said that the OAGF was also handling the asset management project, which was established mainly for tracking, monitoring and management of all Federal Government’s fixed assets.

“The project is also tasked to devalue the registered assets using approved methods of revaluation or depreciation.

“We are also to recommend those assets to be disposed off, regenerated, or relocated to other centres that need them,” he said.

Ajayi said that through the project, a real-time database of all government’s properties, plants and equipments would be created to ensure proper utilisation.

Don’t hike fuel price, PDP cautions Buhari, APC Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to contemplate increasing pump price of fuel from the already excruciating N145 per litre.

The party posited that any increase in fuel price will result in upsurge in cost of goods and services and worsen the biting hardship being faced by Nigerians, who are already overburdened in the last four years.

The PDP held that, at a time like this, rather than mussing an increase in the price of such an essential commodity, a responsive leadership ought to be engaging stakeholders and seeking ways to achieve a reduction in the interest of the people.

The party insisted that the price comparison being contemplated by the APC-controlled Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to warrant an increase, is untenable and further demonstrates that the APC is a party of selfish, unfeeling and insensitive individuals, who relish in inflicting pain and anguish on Nigerians for their selfish desires.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday said:

“Moreover, in arguing that petrol price is cheap in Nigeria without also comparing our market and production variables as well as social and economic infrastructure, with those obtainable in other countries, the APC-controlled NNPC is trying to play on the intelligence of Nigerians to pave way for further fleecing of our citizens.

“Such anti-people position can only come from leaders who do not have the mandate of the people and as such think that they are not answerable or accountable to the citizenry “This is the same APC, which, in 2015, promised to reduce fuel pump price, only for it to jerk it up from N87 per liter, stabilized by the PDP, to an exorbitant N145, from which it now seeks a further increase.

“Moreover, the APC-led Federal Government has no justification whatsoever to contemplate any increase in pump price of fuel, when President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to recover the N9 trillion ($25 billion) oil money stolen under his watch, through sleazy contracts, as detailed in the leaked NNPC memo.

“President Buhari had also failed to recover the N1.1 trillion worth of crude oil allegedly stolen, using 18 unregistered companies, reportedly linked to APC interests.

Adoption of Sen. Adeleke’s for Short News 2023 ill-timed, says elder brother Imo town union leaders call for Okorocha’s probe Gbenga Olarinoye, Osogbo The elder brother to Senator Ademola Adeleke, Dr. Deji Adeleke, on Thursday has described the adoption of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2018 governorship election as the party’s flag bearer in Osun state for the 2022 poll as ill-timed and selfserving.

Rather, he said the PDP would be better off and be well prepared for the next general elections in the state, if it encourages and enshrines internal democracy.

He said this while reacting to the purported adoption of Sen. Ademola Adeleke as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2022 gubernatorial election by some chieftains of the PDP in the state.

Dr. Adeleke insisted that every member of the party must be given a sense of belonging in order to grow the party and canvassed for transparent primary elections even as he pleaded with the party for his brother to be given a break to take his well-deserved rest.

“I am not a card carrying member of any political party, but I am a sympathizer/ supporter of the PDP in Osun state. Osun state PDP will be better off and well prepared for the next general election in the state if internal democracy is encouraged and enforced.

“All elective positions, including the position of governor of the state should be open to all members of the party to contest in a transparent primary election. Everyone must be given a sense of belonging in order to grow the party in Osun state.

“The PDP members that are trading blames within the party should be reminded that PDP won the governorship election held on September 222, 2018, but was not allowed to take office by the powers that be in the ruling party.

“Members should be proud that the electorate sided with the party against the ruling party in that election and not blame each other for the daylight robbery that deprived the party of the mandate freely given by the good people of Osun state, which has brought shame and disgrace to Nigeria as country.

“As for the Adeleke family of which I am one, we will like to remind all PDP members that Sen. Ademola Adeleke, has

no intention to contest the governorship election in the first place, but was invited and prevailed upon by the party leadership and party elders to contest the governorship election, which he and his family accepted most reluctantly after receiving assurances and promises that were never kept. Everything that followed after this is now history.

“Sen. Adeleke should therefore be given a break to take his well -deserved rest and decide what he will do/not do when the time comes. And for the members and other wellwishers who are concerned about the huge resources committed to execute both the primary and general elections, and the payment to lawyers, I thank all of them for their concerns.

“But, whatever is spent on elections should not be considered an investment that will be recouped upon assumption of office through corruption and open banditry as we have seen happen in Osun state in the last eight and half years.

“Contributions to an election fund should always be considered a grant to help deepen our democracy and advance the rule of law which eventually translates into foreign direct investments, economic growth and job creation,” he stated.

Val Okara, Owerri

Leaders of the Association of Imo state Indigenous Town Unions on Thursday called on the state Governor, Emeka Ihedioha to probe Okorocha’s eight years of administering the state.

The protesters including students blocked Gov. Ihedioha at the entrance of Government House carrying placards with inscriptions demanding that the former governor of the state should be probed.

According to them, Okorocha, his wife and family members allegedly plundered the resources of the state within the eight years he held sway.

President of the Imo state Indigenous Town Unions, Emeka Diwe, who presented a letter on behalf of the protesting groups, said that under Okorocha’s administration, public assets were allegedly converted into private use.

“The eight years that Chief Rochas Okorocha held sway as governor of Imo state was characterized by unprecedented and unbridled plunder of our common patrimony.

“We are the leadership of the Association of Imo state Indigenous Town Unions (AISITU) in collaboration with Orluzurumee, Olu Owerri, Olu Okigwe, Amalgamation of Imo Professional Associations (AIPA), the students unions and the various youth groups in the state. We are concerned and indeed, compelled to protest and make this demand on Governor Emeka Ihedioha to act because we represent the vast majority of the poor and defenceless citizens of Imo state at the grassroots who suffer the greatest impact of bad governance.

“During the ruinous misrule of Okorocha, Imo went through a sort of untold financial haemorrhage as resources were frittered away and public assets looted and converted to private use.

“As if that was not enough, Chief Okorocha so cruelly plunged the state into irredeemable debt slavery to the tune of over N200 billion, a debt stock that will remain unpaid even by generations unborn,” Emeka said.

Reacting to the protesters demand, Gov. Ihedioha said that his administration was sensitive to public opinion, stressing that he is delighted that the protesters did not take the laws into their hands.

“We are happy that you did not take the laws into your hands. Ours is a responsible government. We would take deliberate steps in looking into your demands and grievances.

“We told Imo people that we will govern with the fear of God. I want to use this medium to reach out to our senior citizens that we are taking steps towards resolving issues concerning their unpaid pensions. We have a committee that is working day and night on it. Once their report is out, we begin the payments,” the governor assured.

2023: INEC pledges to improve electoral system

Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof.

Mahmood Yakubu, says the commission has commenced plan for the 2023 general elections with the ongoing series of review of the 2019 general elections.

Yakubu, who disclosed this on Thursday at the 2019 post -election review meeting with resident electoral commissioners in Ikeja, Lagos, said the commission was determined to improving the electoral process.

“You would recall that we promised to undertake a comprehensive review of the 2019 general elections internally by way of self-appraisal and externally through wideranging consultations with stakeholders.

“In the last one and half months, we had 11 meetings in Abuja and Lagos on the 2019 general elections. Today’s interaction with the resident electoral commissioners is the 12th meeting so far.

“At the end of these series of meetings and consultations, we are convinced that the commission will learn vital lessons on the conduct of general elections – successes, challenges and the way forward.

We consider these necessary because as a commission, we are committed to the improvement of the nation’s electoral process.

“We are convinced that immediately after the conclusion of one election, planning for the next election should quickly be in earnest. This is precisely what we are doing in this series of engagement,” Yakubu said.

He said that the commission was confident and has high hopes that the resident electoral commissioners just like the other stakeholders would also rise to the occasion.

According to him, the first meeting in the series was held in Abuja with resident electoral commissioners, commission’s officials, all electoral officers in the 774 LGAs, leaders of political parties, the media, civil society organisations and security agencies among others.

The INEC chairman added that since July 8 in Lagos, the commission had met with the media, exclusively the line editors, editors and producers as well as collation and returning officers in its bid to improving electoral process.#

“We have met the vice chancellors of federal universities who served as state collation officers for the presidential election and returning officers in the governorship elections as well as some senior academic who served as returning officers in some constituencies.

“We have met with all our administrative secretaries from all the states of the federation and FCT and the last meeting yesterday, we heard from the 20 departments and directorates in the commission’s headquarters in Abuja,” he said.

Earlier, in his welcome address, the Lagos state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Sam Olumekun, said that the conduct of 2019 elections would not be complete until the review of the exercise to chat the way forward.

“The 2019 general elections, in my opinion, have been successful and the efforts and the determination of the commission must be commended even though there may be critical issues which call for consideration and review for better performances in the future,” Olumekun said.

Exactly 420 pilgrims from Lagos state participating in this year’s holy pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah have departed for Saudi Arabia.

This was disclosed by the Amir-ul-Hajj, Dr. AbdulLateef AbdulHakeem, during the inaugural airlifting exercise at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja while addressing the press.

The pilgrims comprising of 248 females and 72 males were drawn from Agege Local Government (120); Ajeromi-Ifelodun (119); Alimosho (119); Amuwo-Odofin (18) while18 came from the board.

He said that the 420 pilgrims were the first batch out of a total of 2, 270 intending pilgrims travelling with the Lagos state Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board to Saudi Arabia.

While expressing his immeasurable joy that pilgrims from Lagos state were the first to be airlifted among the states in the South West, he stated that the flight which departed the airport at some minutes after 11.00 pm was going straight to Madinah.

This according to him would save the pilgrims the stress of travelling by road from Jedda to Madinah, adding that the pilgrims would be airlifted backto-back from July 10-16 when the exercise is expected to be concluded.

Also speaking, the Chairman ad hoc committee for the 2019 hajj operation, Alhaji Ahmed Jebe, commended the board for the success recorded with the inaugural flight.

He assured that the welfare of the pilgrims while in Saudi Arabia, especially in the area of accommodation, feeding and health provisions would be paramount to the committee.

Bayelsa 2019: Deputy governor picks form, states mission Tunde Opalana, Abuja Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state, John Jonah joined the governorship race for the November 16 election as he picked the expression of interest and nomination forms of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said his pre-occupation in the race would be to consolidate on the gains already recorded by Governor Seriake Dickson.

Having undergone years of tutelage in the restoration family of the present administration, he promised not to bring any radical departure from the policies of the Dickson government.

He said he will put passion for service and desire for infrastructural development above other aspirants, declaring that “the main driving force is passion for service; a very great passion for service in delivering development for our people and where necessary stand and speak for our people.”

He debunked the allegation of crack in the restoration family just as he disagreed that some external forces were sponsoring candidates in the restoration family to create rancour among members.

“There is no crack, if there is anything there is cohesion within the restoration family.

People were expecting that by this time the governor will bring one candidate and say this is my candidate, and in fact, they are speculating that others would not be allowed to show interest and they will be forced to just withdraw.

“That could have brought cracks, but in the thinking of the administration collectively and we have to note that it is not just the governor, we felt that those that have interest and with capacity to administer the state should show interest and we proceed from there,” the deputy governor added.

verdict: Questions for the Supreme Court MixedOsun Grill

Ike ABONYI

“A good lawyer knows the law; a clever one takes the judges to lunch” – Mark Twain A onetime associate Justice in United States’ Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis once said that “If we desire respect for the law we must first make the law respectable”. Following from that saying I strongly believe that Nigeria’s Supreme Court will desire that all its judgments should enjoy some respect from the populace.

To achieve that it’s natural that the court’s judgments must be respectable.

I am not a lawyer but I was taught in press law at mass communications class that while you cannot offer opinion in a matter before the court to avoid contempt, you are free after judgment has been delivered to do a critique of it especially if the case is of public interest like elections.

It’s against that backdrop that the recent ruling of the nation’s Supreme Court on Osun State gubernatorial election petition attracts my interest.

In doing a review my interest really is not too much on the possible motive behind the ruling, not at all, my interest is on why persuasive logics were not offered as the cause of the action.

I believe very strongly that when implausible explanations are offered as a reason for court ruling in a case especially from apex court of the land, its consequences on the entire judicial system will be far reaching.

Nothing can be as frustrating as when a commuter is unable to get a bus ride at the last bus stop, he would be deeply upset and frustrated with his last option not

being available. That is always the case with Nigerians when Supreme Court delivers judgments that they find hard to add up.

Last week’s majority judgment of the Supreme Court on the last year’s Osun State gubernatorial election is one of such curious situations when so many questions stand seeking answers. By that judgment the will of the millions of Osun State people is being tied to a junior judge refusing or forgetting to sign his own ruling. Nothing can be more snooping. Even more fussing is the fact that those who relied on it are senior Justices. But as Africans when we do not like what we get from an elder we are not expected even in our distraught go attacking him publicly. Rather we turn to God who has a reason for everything and that is what the people of Osun State have done in this case. Who says that bad judgment has no consequences?

At the Appeal Court level, the world was told that the Judge who delivered the majority ruling at the election petitions tribunal level did not seat at all the proceedings and couldn’t have been privy to all the sides of the case. Is that the fault of the petitioner or his lawyers?

If his judgment had tallied with the others or gone the other way, it may not have been an issue at all.

Judiciary watchers are very much aware of instances where cases are returned for retrial by another Judge by the Supreme Court when technical issues are trying to block the main justice of a case. Why was the Osun case different? We have also seen at appellant level how judges are discouraged from using

technicalities to throw away cases.

Why was Osun case different?

What if a Judge chose not to sign his judgement to deliver negative consequences, should a petitioner be the victim? Who can hear from the Judge in his secluded world to ascertain why he did not sign? And if it was a gross professional error should the petitioner suffer or the Judge?

It’s important that these questions are raised for the revered Justices to know how discerning minds view their cataclysmic ruling on Osun State gubernatorial election petition.

We are certainly not oblivious of the fact that the country’s apex court is manned by human beings not saints. We know as a fact that the Justices are not Pope, therefore they are fallible, but given the inviolability that surround their profession, in their tendency to make mistake as humans, they should strive not be too obvious as the Osun case tends to portray to rational minds.

Nigerians know as keen watchers of activities around and within the judiciary in the last four years that the harassment and intimidation from the Executive arm of government that started in the midnight arrest and detention of some Judges and Justices by state operatives in 2016 and climaxed with the unilateral removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen early this year, that it would be difficult if not impossible to still get Justices who could stand without being nervous especially at the point of delivering Justice on political cases.

The implications of this

development is that what either President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), or Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may need to do to turn the table in their favour if they lose their case at the ongoing Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal is to get one of the Justices to forget to sign his ruling.

When the 89-year-old erudite first academic Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Prof. Ben Nwabueze told the Justice Mohammad Garbaled Presidential election panel at the Court of Appeal last week that rulings from these election tribunals will go a long way in determining the future of elections and democracy in Nigeria, he was just underscoring an obvious point. The Ambassadors of United Kingdom and the United States of America who led other international election monitors to declare in a press conference that Osun rerun was a charade will just be imagining what we as a country do with the will of our people freely and voluntarily expressed via elections.

That perhaps explains why non-lawyers like me and other discerning minds are concerned because when the last man standing in a battle is showing signs of panic and absence of confidence, hope of victory is going to be distant in coming. Operating democracy in an atmosphere where Judiciary is timid and shell shocked from harassment is like getting involved in a sport manned by a referee that is panicky and lacking in self-confidence. The outcome of such game is going to be unbridled and uproarious.

The good and the contradictions of Gov. Okowa’s training scheme for youth Corps members

Jerome-Mario UTOMI

In a speech delivered at Project Hope 13th graduation ceremony held recently at Ute Okpu in Ika North East LGA, Delta State, Otive Igbuzor, PhD, founding executive director, African centre for leadership, strategy and development (Centre LSD), among other things underlined that Nigeria government has great roles to play in planning for and accelerating the development process.

Surprisingly, like a prophet that was supernaturally informed of it and supernaturally moved to announce it, few days after that speech, the government is beginning to show seriousness in the great role of planning for, and accelerating the development through skill empowerment of its citizens in the state.

This is happening on both sides- federal and state levels.

The recently held groundbreaking ceremony for the establishment of a Skill Acquisition Center in Alihame, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State under the direct auspices of FIIRO, Oshodi, stands as a telling proof to the Federal Government’s effort in this direction.

Similarly, the declaration by the Secretary to the Delta state government, Barrister Chiedu Ebie, who represented the state Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, during the induction ceremony of Batch ‘B’ stream1 of National Youths Service Corps members, held in Issele Uku community orientation camp, that his administration is committed to enhancing skills acquisition for Corps members in the state is also another of this willingness by the state government.

There is something heartening about this development.

Fundamentally, aside from the fact that

‘every human being needs diverse kinds of skills to live successfully and meaningfully’, why these developments should be applauded is that looking at the trends we have seen in the past; while the majority of past administrations have been more cautious than courageous on this goal, some were ‘compassionate by proxy’ and others maintained silence keeping things the way they are hoping that luck will correct our part and put us on the right part.

This long denial of opportunity to train Nigerians on important skills needed for human and national development, without doubt, stunted our socioeconomic sphere and dealt a dangerous blow on our collective destinies as people.

To explain, when people are trained, they become knowledgeable, when they are knowledgeable, they become powerful.

Remember the aphorism which says that ‘knowledge is power’. Very good instances abound.

Going by the above position, it becomes a natural response that leaders not only prime and position for this role but also get committed to the systematic practice of human capital development.

Though not without exceptions As an illustration, despite its virtues and attributes, Governor Okowa’s planned skill training in my views apart from being considered a misguided priority, seems good in principle but the reality is very different and elicits some primary questions.

Does this seem a good use of the state’s time and resources or does the Governor have a different perspective on the issues? What priority and resources suffered in the state in order to have this project considering the fact that NYSC is the responsibility of the Federal

Government? What plan is the Governor making to similarly ameliorate the plights of youths in the state currently with neither job nor skill?

If the state has the capacity to help the federal government to perform its responsibility, why hasn’t the Governor all these while addressed the army of professionally-trained ex-militants currently without a job in the coastal areas of the state?

Admittedly, the goal of every government should be to improve the life chances of its people through capacity building; it is also agreed that the future strength of a nation depends on its young people as their generation provides the next leaders.

This facts no doubt underscores the urgent imperative of having the youths equipped with different skills irrespective of their state of origin. However, I am of the views that such charity to these youth corps members at a time when the state and its people are not fulfilling their socioeconomic potential is regrettable.

Without minding what others may say, instead of the Governor scratching his head trying to provide answers to a challenge that firmly rests at the doorstep of the Federal Government, his preoccupation, in my opinion should focus on how to improve the living conditions of our people in the state; how to ensure that the infrastructure that will enable the people to have gainful employment is provided; ensure that proper health care is provided for our people; guarantee that our children go to school; ensure that Deltans have roofs over their heads; and that there is food on the table for the average Deltans’.

The Governors’ choice when there is a legion of youths in the state without skills or job has again confirmed the age-long notion

that being poor has nothing to do with culture or ignorance but because those in power make choices that create poverty.

To further, put issues where they belong, what the Governor needs to recognize is that the course of the common good especially as it pertains to the economic good of the people of the state highly depends on the leaders of the states. I see no reason for such decision as it was such wicked neglect of the Niger Delta region in preference for other regions by successive administrations that set the stage for the present crisis in the Niger Delta region.

This crisis, unfortunately, may not be over considering the tone of an open letter recently addressed to the Executive Governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, by the Riverine communities in Delta state where the group bemoaned the non-presence of the government projects in the coastal areas and lamented the Niger Delta Development Commissions’ (NDDC) and The Delta State Oil Producing Development Commission (DESOPADEC) choice of cities and towns for their projects.

In fact, it won’t be an overstatement to conclude that the people of the region may continue to agitate as they appeared tired of being victims of state-sponsored poverty and human, degradation visited on them.

To truly find answers to the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, both states and the federal government need to be holistic in approach. We must first separate politics and playing to the gallery from this assignment.

Most importantly, creating a productive collaboration between the government, private organizations and civil society groups during this window of vulnerability that will act as both a crucial enabler, as well as a means to an end, should be an urgent task before all.

Editorial Commentary NEWS

Kogi governorship poll: 37 APC aspirants support indirect primaries Thirty seven aspirants under the auspices of Coalition of Kogi state All Progressives Congress (APC) have supported the indirect primaries adopted by the APC National Working Committee (NWC) to elect the party’s candidate for Nov. 16 governorship poll.

The Chairman of the Coalition, Mr Godwin Edime, said this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday while reading the group’s position letter addressed to the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

Edime, who described the Coalition as consisting of young and loyal aspirants of the ruling party, said that they endorsed the indirect primaries approved by the party’s NWC for governorship primaries in kogi.

“As young and loyal aspirants, we stand unshakably for the indirect primaries earlier approved for us by our party. “Neither NEC nor even the NWC has issued a contrary directive to any state chapter after the adoption and approval of modes of primaries.

“Guided by the foregoing many of us here have gone to great costs in networking delegates and it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to move the goalpost now.

“Let it be known that we will go to every legal extent to resist any attempt to single Kogi APC out for the imposition of the expensive and unworkable Direct Primaries,” he said.

According to him, the Kogi chapter of APC today is vastly different from the same party in 2015 because it has grown from less than 100,000 members in 2015 to over 500,000 in 2019.

“The direct primaries will take too much time, money and logistics

to produce a clean and uncontested membership register between now and Aug. 29, 2019.

“Even if that impossible feat is achieved, we simply cannot organise trouble-free Direct Primaries for at least half a million people.

“Anybody can obtain our party card from anywhere and cause legal trouble,” the Coalition chairman said.

According to him, the Kogi chapter of APC has always adopt indirect primaries and it has always worked for it.

Edime recalled that in 2015, indirect primaries produced late Abubakar Audu as APC’s governorship candidate.

“In 2019, indirect primaries gave us two out of three senators, seven out of nine House of Representatives members and 25 out of 25 State House of Assembly members.

“The APC must not give room for people to tag it confused or inconsistent by changing established norms to fit every wind of opposition which blows.

“The legal effects could be catastrophic. Except for a few recently elected officials, delegates for Kogi APC chapter Indirect Primaries on Aug. 29 are the same people who voted at the National Convention for the President as our flag-bearer in the 2019 General Elections.

“They also voted for our National and State Assembly contingents at the various primaries. We must beware of those who now want to impugn the integrity and legality of our delegates.

“The domino effect of undermining the legality of our delegates will be catastrophic beyond just the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi state,” he said.

Nigerian Army gets first aircraft hangar in Jaji The Nigerian Army has established the first aircraft hangar for its Aviation unit at the Jaji Military Cantonment in Kaduna State as part of the continuous effort to run a viable aviation unit.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, while inaugurating the hangar on Thursday, said the hangar was the first of its kind to be established by the army in Nigeria.

Buratai said that the second hangar was underway at the Army Barracks in Bama, Borno State, adding that the army was committed to developing its air capacity.

He also disclosed that the aviation hangar project was provided for in the 2018 budget and fully implemented accordingly.

“The army is yet to have the platforms but we will continue to pursue through the appropriate superior authority for us to see to the realisation of this dream.

“Today, we are taking advantage of this runway to have the first location of the Nigerian Army aviation formation.

“This location is one of the deployments that we intend to have for the Nigerian army aviation brigade.

“The project that you have just seen has been captured in the 2018 budget and we are happy it has been fully executed,’’ he said.

The Chief of Army Staff said: “This

is the right step toward the realisation of the aim of having the Nigerian army aviation.

“This is not the only one, there is another one which the contract has been awarded and the project will soon commence at the Nigerian Army Barracks in Bama in Borno.

“That one includes the runway as well as the hanger for the army aviation.

“Knowing the strategic importance of the Northeast especially the location of Bama, to have an army aviation unit is very crucial.”

Buratai commended the coordinator of the unit and the contractor for the project.

Earlier, the Coordinator of Nigerian Army Aviation, Maj.-Gen. A.A Adoba, said the aviation hangar project was one of the major milestones of the strategic development plans of the army aviation.

Adoba said that the training of the pilots, engineers, technicians and other ground support crews had since been concluded.

He commended Buratai for his commitment toward providing the necessary support required for the development of the aviation wing.

According to him, the Nigerian army aviation is key to the achievement of the vision which is to have a professional responsive army in the discharge of their constitutional roles.

OUR POSITION

Taming the cancer scourge in Nigeria Feeding on widespread ignorance about the disease, cancer of all forms has continued to wreak havoc on humanity, prematurely cutting down destinies and dreams. It has remained the world’s number one killer disease.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently revealed that new cancer cases and deaths in Africa are projected to double by 2040. Statistics have shown that estimated new cases in Nigeria as at 2018 was put at 116,000 while 41 cancer related deaths were also recorded.

Despite efforts by government and other relevant stakeholders to raise more awareness on how to live a healthy life, cancer has continued to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide.

New cases and deaths from cancer continue to rise. In 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths, whereas in 2018 there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. If current trends are maintained, the cancer burden in Africa is projected to double from 1,055,172 new cancer cases in 2018 to 2,123,245 cancer cases by 2040.

In Nigeria, this chronic illness with often severe effects is a potential death sentence.

There is hardly anybody who doesn’t know somebody who has either died of, or is suffering from it.

The death of many low and high profile figures from cancer should be a wake-up call for government to be more committed to addressing the rising incidence and cost of cancer in Nigeria. To combat the menace, an intensive community-based mass cervical cancer screening campaign is desirable.

Nigerians cannot afford the cost of cancer care. When it strikes, even the rich become beggars. Cancer management must be recognised as team work and government must take the lead. Cancer control must be centrally coordinated and the Federal

Ministry of Health must take up that role.

We are of the opinion that government should admit that cancer is now an issue of primary health concern and a major cause of premature death of Nigerians irrespective of age, sex, or social class.

They should take the bull by the horn by equipping public hospitals and medical centres with effective diagnostic capability to quickly detect and treat cancer infections.

The government at all levels should recognise the urgent need for the institution of a policy for mandatory free annual screening checks at local, state and national levels and put in place long-overdue comprehensive world class centres for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Cancer is not like malaria or typhoid that weighs you down when it starts. It is not a physical growth that you can easily see.

Medical experts call it maligned tumour, it grows abnormally and it spreads. So the earlier you nip it in the bud, the better. A lot of people walk around not knowing that they have this disease inside of them until it gets to a very alarming stage before they find out.

This is why it is also very important to raise awareness on imbibing in healthy lifestyle such as good diet, exercise and regular medical checkups. Knowledge is key in the fight against cancer and in getting people to be conscious of their health, they need to know what to do.

When people are armed with knowledge, spread of cancer would be reduced.

Regular screening is very important because we believe that some of these issues can be nipped in the bud if it is detected early. If you discover you have an ailment, you take care of it on time. Cancer should not kill anybody anymore because there are opportunities for it to be detected and if detected on time it can be stopped.

Lagos, Netherlands to partner on health, 3 other sectors Benjamin Omoike, Lagos

Lagos state Governor, Babajide SanwoOlu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to collaborate with Netherlands on health, Education, technology, trade, tourism and infrastructure.

Gov. Sanwo-Olu stated this on Thursday while playing host to a team led by the Netherlands Minister for Foreign Trade, Development and Cooperation, Mrs. Sigrid Kaag, who paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Alausa, Lagos.

According to the governor, there are numerous investment opportunities in Lagos, adding that the state is home to all and that the environment is friendly for foreign investors.

The governor thanked the Netherlands team for the visit, explaining that Netherlands and Lagos share certain

similar features such as their locations being below the sea level and in technology which he said would assist in the bilateral arrangements to be discussed.

He explained the reclamation efforts at Eko Atlantic City, disclosing that “you know there is a new development being done at Eko Atlantic City. That is a city that is raised on top of water. It is actually an engineering feat that we are really proud of.

“With technology, you need to sand fill a lot of the place there; it went 12 meters down and has a height of about nine meters up and that is twice the size of Victoria Island. We poured 10 million cubic of sand to stabilize it. It’s actually an engineering success that we are really proud of.”

He also lauded the efforts of Netherland on skill acquisition and poverty reduction programmes which have made Lagos state foster economic relations with the country.

Also, the governor stated that the state is partnering with the Netherlands on

education by promoting skills acquisition and ultimately, reduce poverty by 2030 and praised the current collaboration with the Dutch government in implementing the new state health insurance scheme.

Other areas the governor said the state is seeking collaboration is in the areas of water transportation, adding that “we are doing a lot of reclamation to safeguard water safety, and water transportation. I think these are some of the things we are dealing with to upscale our transport system.”

Earlier, the visiting Netherlands Minister, Mrs. Kaag congratulated the governor on his victory at the polls, praising his work ethic since assuming office.

She expressed willingness to collaborate with the current administration to achieve the desired result in areas such as maritime, health, education and technology, adding that Lagos and indeed, Nigeria has the potential to shine and lead by example.

Muslim group writes DSS, rights commission over hijab ban Our reporter A religious group known as the Muslim Parents Forum of the International School, Ibadan has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) over what it termed the harassment of their children and wards by the management of the school.

In separate letters dated July 9 and signed by Abdur-Rahman Balogun and Hajia Bilkis Badiru, chairman and secretary respectively, the forum called on the two government bodies to intervene and ensure that justice prevails in the school community.

They recalled their earlier letter to the school authorities asking them to allow their daughters express their religious freedom by wearing hijab to school, stating that the matter was later dragged to court, but was struck out on technical grounds on June 25.

The forum said that capitalizing on

the outcome of the court case, the school management, especially the principal have resorted to intimidation of the affected female Muslim students which they said is unacceptable.

“This flagrant disregard for the constitutional rights of the girls to adorn the hijab, especially outside the school premises is considered an affront on the collective sensibilities of the Muslims who have children in the school.

“It is therefore, disturbing that the school principal and staff of the school took the laws into their hands by harassing our daughters for adorning the hijab outside the school premises, several meters away from the school gate on July 3. Although, the girls were later allowed entry, but only after they have been thoroughly disgraced in front of their peers,” the letter stated.

Continuing, the forum added that the situation was escalated further by the school’s management recently, when the girls were disgraced outside the school premises.

“On July 4, the situation became worse

as the girls were thoroughly disgraced outside the school premises under the watchful eyes of the chief security officer of the University of Ibadan, the school vice principal, hordes of security personnel from both the university and the school, including some gun-wielding policemen.

The video of the harassment is currently trending on social media.

“The matter was promptly reported to the leadership of the University of Ibadan Muslim Community, who swung into action by contacting the university’s administration. This probably informed the decision of the school authority to relax their draconian posture on July5-8 to a more sinister, but less observable form of harassment,” the forum said.

Frowning at the continued harassment of the students, the forum said it is contemplating another legal action against the school management and therefore, requested that the NHRC and DSS intervene by halting the abuse and intimidation of the students as well as protecting of their rights as citizens.

The wife of the Enugu state Governor, Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, has urged women to remain focused on their noble roles in the society as mothers, especially in the lives of their husbands and children.

Mrs. Ugwuanyi, who spoke during the flag-off of this year’s Women’s August conference in Enugu state, popularly known as August meeting, advised them to always be conscious of their children’s activities both at home and outside the home.

She stressed that such monitoring of children’s behaviours and activities will help curb societal ills such as prostitution, child abuse and robbery, pointing out that the society can be reformed with some extra efforts from women.

“As mothers, we have critical roles in the lives of our children and that of our husbands. We stay with our children, therefore, we should be able to monitor them and know the company they keep,” she counselled.

Earlier, various women groups in the state, who trooped out in their numbers to participate in the annual event, lauded Mrs. Ugwuanyi for her commitment and determination towards improving the well-being of children, youth, women and indigent persons in the state.

The women also commended the governor’s wife for uniting women of diverse faith and political leanings in the state through her pet project, Ugo’s Touch of Life Foundation (U-TOLF).

Speaking, wife of the leader of the Enugu state House of Assembly, Mrs. Vivian Ezeugwu, said the prevailing peace in the state was due to the fact that both Gov. Ugwuanyi and his wife are a God-fearing couple committed to enthroning peace and good governance.

Adeboye speaks on protest against him, RCCG Says he aligns with position of CAN, PFN on national issues

Patrick Okohue, Lagos General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has reiterated his position on key national issues and the overall well-being of Nigeria.

In a statement released from the national headquarters of the church and signed by the Head, Media and Public Relations, RCCG, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, Adeboye reaffirmed his commitment to the umbrella Christian organisations that are mandated to speak on issues affecting the church and the nation as a whole.

He stated that as in the past that the views of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) represented his position and that of the RCCG. Pastor Adeboye, himself a one-

time president of PFN, noted that the aforementioned Christian bodies have spoken on the issues of kidnapping, the killing of Christians, herdsmen attacks and general insecurity in Nigeria, and that his position and that of the RCCG was not different from their expressed views.

Besides, he stated that as a pastor and spiritual father to millions of people in Nigeria and across the world, he regularly leads the congregation to pray over the problems confronting the nation at all major programmes of the church.

Adeboye, who said that to be quiet does not mean silence, disclosed that he had made his views on the issues known to all the relevant authorities and declared that very soon, Nigerians shall see that God answers prayers and enjoined all to remain calm

and maintain the peace.

“The RCCG leader has always called the congregation to prayers against kidnapping, bloodshed and general insecurity at the monthly all-night holy ghost service held at the Redemption Camp.

“For instance, at the July holy ghost service, which was four days before a group of students and youth under the leadership of some notable artistes like Baba Fryo, Charly Boy and Eedris Abdulkarim came to the Redemption Camp to show their unhappiness with his supposed silence over the killings of Christians, establishment of cattle camps called Ruga and kidnapping, Pastor Adeboye had led the congregation in supplication for God’s mercy on Nigeria after speaking on the negative consequences of bloodshed and inhumanity in the country,” the statement said.

Short News EFCC secures 51 convictions, recovers N45m in Edo Titus Akhigbe, Benin The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has secured 51 convictions of persons involved in various frauds and also recovered N45, 619, 706.71 within the last six months of its operation in Edo state.

It also said that properties and instruments of fraud which are proceeds of crimes have also been forfeited to the federal government.

The EFCC zonal Head of Operations, Muktar Bello, disclosed this while delivering his speech to mark the African anti-corruption day with the theme: “Towards a common African position on asset recovery” in Benin City, the Edo state capital.

“At the Benin zonal office here, our efforts at tackling corruption are yielding results. In the last six months, the commission secured 51 convictions of persons involved in various kinds of frauds.

“Within that period, the commission also recovered N45, 619, 706.71.

Also, properties and instruments of fraud which are proceeds of crime have been forfeited to the federal government,” he said.

Suleman added that this year’s theme is particularly important because of the need to recover and return to the good people of Africa what has been looted and stolen out of the continent by some individuals.

He said further that “for us in Nigeria, it is a settled fact that the country has over the years lost billions of naira to illicit financial flow,” stressing that this act of corruption is the reason the country is still touted as potentially a great nation after 58 years of its sovereign statehood.

The EFCC agent said this is also the reason there is unconscionable poverty in our otherwise rich nation, “as the resources that should have delivered the good life to the majority of the people have been cornered and stolen by ravenous elites, leaving our roads, hospitals and other social amenities in appalling state.”

He however, called for joint efforts to tackle corruption as the EFCC cannot do it alone.

Prince Abiodun, who disclosed this in his office while receiving a team from Irish Dairy Milk who were in the state to discuss how best they could set up their manufacturing plant in the state, said that his administration was glad about the opportunity the agricultural sector brings to the table.

“We are very excited by the opportunity that the agricultural sector presents; the agricultural sector is one of our biggest pillars. We see agriculture as one of our

biggest pillars because not only do we believe that through agriculture we can employ our youth, we can guarantee food security and we can also generate revenue.

“At this point in time in this country, there is a lot of discuss on cattle rearing and cattle ranching. For us in Ogun state, beside the fact that we are looking at agriculture as a sector, we are looking at livestock as well.

“We believe that our proximity to other states gives us the advantage of being able to feed them as well via poultry, so we are actually looking at how to set up our own ranches through Public Private Partnership (PPP),” he said.

Abiodun however, opined that he would be glad if the state can actualize its dream of having a cattle ranch that would aid it to continue to serve as market for Lagos state.

“Noting will delight us in this state than to have our ranches because even the cattle market that Lagos depends on is right here in our state and we’ve being discussing in the last one week how to ensure that we actually have a proper ranch, properly organized ranch and an abattoir that will be world

class,” he added.

“This is the gateway state close to Lagos and you know when you are sighting a factory, you need certain parameters; we need a seaport that we can send out our goods. So, Ogun state is strategically relevant to business of this nature and we didn’t a mistake, Ogun state has passed all tests,” he said.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has promised that his administration would give all the needed support to the victims of the ljegun pipeline fire explosion to aid their recovery.

The governor, who described the incident as unfortunate, expressed his condolences to the families who lost their loved ones to the inferno.

“I have seen the patients; I have spoken to them, encouraged them and I have given words that everything that they need to do to give them comfort, that the management of the hospital should continue to do it.

“They confirmed that they have been very supportive and I assured them that the state government will ensure that as humanly possible, we will keep all and everyone of them alive,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu said that the issue of pipeline fire caused by vandalism was a security and criminal activity which the appropriate authorities were already looking into.

He appealed to residents to shy away from engaging in the nefarious activity while those living in areas prone to such acts should report to security agencies whenever they see the vandals.

“We will not shy away from apprehending culprits and make them face the wrath of the law. Residents in that place have the emergency toll free 7-6-7, 1-12 number, let them call; when you see people at odd hours of the day going to those places, call the rapid response.

“With this, we can scale up security operatives to come there and apprehend perpetrators of this act,’’ Sanwo-Olu appealed.

The fire explosion which occurred on July 4, destroyed property worth millions of naira and claimed some lives. It was caused by vandals who were siphoning fuel from the NNPC pipelines located in the area.

The state government had announced that it would offset the hospital bills of all the victims admitted at the Gbagada Burns Centre and the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja

3 killed, 2 injured, houses destroyed Short News mining in Osun, Ijesa monarch as flood ravages Plateau community Ban urges Oyetola Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

Three persons have been killed and two others injured as flood ravaged some part of Zinaria community of Jos North Local Government Area, pulling down nine houses and rendering the occupants homeless.

Sani Bello, a relative of one of the deceased told our correspondent that the incident happened on Wednesday at about 5.30pm following a heavy downpour which lasted hours, making the flood waters to collapse a fence which pulled down nearby structures.

“The victims were in the house when the rain started. They all remained indoors, but because the waterways were blocked and the ground soaked, the building collapsed on them. The

water washed three of them away and they died in the process.

“One of them is my elder sister; she was pregnant and came here for a visit from Naraguta, a nearby community. Her corpse has been found and buried. Right now, one lady with a broken leg is in the hospital and seven- year- old Ibrahim is okay now,” Sani added.

However, Senator Istifanus Gyang, who is representing Plateau North Senatorial District in the ninth National Assembly, has visited the area to commiserate with the people and assist them with resources to clear the waterways and rebuild their homes.

Represented by Daniel Gyang, the senator gave financial assistance to the affected families and urged the

community to avoid building on waterways to avoid a reoccurrence such an unfortunate incident and prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and the speedy recovery of the injured.

Collecting the gifts on behalf of the victims, the Ward Head of the community, Mallam Yahaya Abubakar commended the senator for his show of concern, saying that “this is not the first time that water would flood this area. No one has come to our aid and whatever we do here to avert flood in the community is through our collective efforts.”

One of the beneficiaries, Mohammed Kamilu appreciated the gesture of the senator, adding that “we will use it to augment our efforts of getting back on our feet.”

Ijesaland hosts the major mining sites in the state where many of the displaced miners from Zamfara state are now operating.

The m monarch said the influx of illegal miners has led to the displacement of farmers whose farmlands and landed property are being destroyed by the activities of the miners.

He promised that the traditional rulers would continue to lend their voices on things that will strengthen peaceful co-existence, unity and stability in the state.

Responding, Gov. Oyetola said his administration would not relent in his efforts to stamp out illegal miners from the state.

Commending the efforts of the royal fathers at curbing crime and criminality, the governor noted that his government would continue to partner the traditional rulers and chiefs in the administration of the state.

CBN limits top 4 commercial banks deposits to boost lending - Analysts Motolani Oseni As part of efforts to reduce access to its Standing Deposit Facility (SDF), a group of analysts at ARM research have said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is limiting the top four Tier 1 commercial banks access to its facility.

The apex bank had issued a circular, stressing that, “remunerable daily placements by banks at the SDF shall not exceed N2billion.”

According to the Lagos based research on Thursday, “Notably, during periods of excess liquidity in the banking system and the accompanied depression in interbank rates, the SDF window afforded banks (especially top 4 Tier 1 banks who are perpetual net placers of funds) an avenue for placing excess liquidity in the absence of OMO or Treasury bills auctions and

earn an annualized rate of 8.5per cent.

“Notwithstanding, we believe the impact on income for the Top four Tier 1 banks (Guaranty Trust Bank, Zenith Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and FBN holding, will minimal as we expect such funds to be redirected to the Tier 2 banks which had been perpetual net takers at the Standing Lending Facility, albeit at a much lower rate depending on overall market liquidity.

“Although, we do not perceive CBN will be comfortable leaving excess liquidity with the banks, as such could result in speculation at the foreign exchange market, but it is hard to reason borrowing of the same funds via OMO and T-Bills at higher rates from the same banks.”

They maintained that the CBN has delivered another news to commercial banks, which now comes in the form of

a voluntary rejection of excess liquidity deposited by the banks to CBN via the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF).

The report by ARM research noted, “The facility had served as a liquidity mop-up mechanism for the apex a bank without necessarily issuing government securities in return to the banks. Prior to November 2014, banks could deposit as much liquidity at their disposal with CBN and be remunerated for same.

CBN capped the minimum remunerated deposit through the window at N7.5 billion in November 2014, however banks could keep excess at their discretion without being remunerated.

“With the new framework, the allowable daily deposit through the SDF that will now be remunerated is now capped at N2 billion at the applicable MPR minus 500basis points (8.5per cent). We believe the new structure

further suggests the apex banks drive to persuade banks to lend to the real sector.”

Meanwhile, the Director, Financial Markets Department, CBN, Mr Angela Sere-Ejembi in a circular on Wednesday said, “With reference to the circular to all Banks and Discount Houses, Re: Guidelines on Accessing the CBN Standing Deposit Facility, Ref: FMD/ DIR.GEN.CIR/05/020 and dated November 6, 2014, after further review: the remunerable daily placements by banks at the SDF shall not exceed N2billion; The SDF deposit of N2 billion shall be remunerated at the interest rate prescribed by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) from time to time; Any deposit by a bank in excess of N2billion shall not be remunerated.”

According to the circular, the provisions of this circular take effect from Thursday.

NNPC advises PMS consumers to ignore rumour of imminent price hike Micheal Ajayi The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has advised motorists and other petroleum product consumers to ignore the trending rumour of a planned hike in the pump price of petrol.

The Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known petrol according to the corporations Group Public Affairs Division Manager, Mr Ndu Ughamadu, is not planned to be increased.

Ughuamadu clarified that the NNPC GMD Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari statement during his engagement with the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan, was that the price of petrol was abysmally low in Nigeria compared to what

obtained in neighbouring West African countries.

He noted that Kyari had observed at the event that the huge disparity in the pump price of petrol between Nigeria on the one hand and her neighbouring countries, on the other hand tended to encourage cross-border smuggling The oil firm advised Nigerians to disregard the insinuation of a planned hike in the price of petrol

by NNPC. It also stated that statutorily NNPC was not even in a position to regulate the price of petroleum products, adding that the corporation’s role as an operator must be differentiated from that of any of the industry regulators.

Meanwhile the Corporation having met with the National Assembly has said that it’s set for a new era of robust engagement with the lawmakers to ensure speedy passage of laws related to the Oil and Gas Industry for enhanced performance.

The new GMD who was accompanied on the visit by his predecessor, Dr. Maikanti Baru, said the corporation would give maximum support and cooperation to the legislative arm of government to ensure the emplacement of an enabling legal framework for the growth of the Oil and Gas sector.

Speaking at the occasion, the immediate past GMD of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, explained stated that beyond introducing his successor, the visit was meant to canvass the Senate’s support for the quick passage of the Deep Offshore Amendment Bill which has the potential of boosting the Federal Government’s revenue by about $5bn per annum.

Shedding light on the significance of the bill, He explained that the nation had been virtually losing revenue running into billions of dollars due to delay in the review of the extant Deep Offshore Act which stipulates that the fiscal terms could be reviewed when the price of crude oil had surpassed the $20 barrel mark and production had gone on in those acreages consistently for 15 years.

Onyema, OON, Chief Executive Officer, The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE); Ibukun Adebayo, Co-head of Emerging Markets, London Stock Exchange (LSE); Okechukwu Enelamah former Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment; Yewande Sadiku, Executive Secretary/CEO of Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC); His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, Executive Governor of Ogun State and Uyi Akpata, Country Senior Partner, PWC Nigeria during the launch of Companies to Inspire Book at Four Point Sheraton, Lagos... on Thursday.

Lagos-Ibadan rail sets for commercial operations October As FG orders conference coach, other facilities ahead commencement

Temitope Adebayo The Chairman of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Engr. Ibrahim Alhassan, says all is set for the commencement of commercial operation on the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge project.

The federal government has set aside October for the commencement of commercial passenger and cargo activities on the project being undertaken by the

China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC).

Speaking on Thursday when he led 24 other members of the corporation on an inspection of the 156-kilometre project, the NRC boss noted that the federal government has ordered massive rolling stock; a conference coach and a super sleeper with a spa were among other facilities currently on order.

According to him, two Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) of 30 coaches which would be

delivered before December.

Alhassan added that with one of the tracks already at Kilometre 154, what remains are the two branch lines, one, into the works yard and other connecting the Ibadan dry port.

He envisaged that these would be completed by July end. The chairman also unveiled a conference coach where the board held its inaugural meeting. Most of the board members expressed surprise at the ongoing railway transformation which they said they were experiencing for the first time.

According to him, the government would want a situation where corporate organizations would hold their board meetings or conferences on the train’s conference coach.

The chairman who spoke after a train ride to Lagos said, “This trip has been a richly rewarding trip for most members of the board and the feedback we got from so many of them indicated that they were not only happy but are in a better position to appreciate the federal government”, he said.

Accident: FAAN, other stakeholders commence review of airport emergency plan Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Stakeholders in airport Operations have converged on the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos to review the Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) to minimize loss of lives and properties in the event of an Accident, incidents and serious incidents.

In her welcome address at the meeting, The Manager South West Airports, Federal

Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs Victoria Shin-Abba said that the review was overdue to promote safety.

She explained that the AEP was one of the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

According to her, the previous air incidents in the country had necessitated the need for all stakeholders to work together towards achieving the common goal of minimising the impact on lives and property.

“The objective of airport emergency planning is to anticipate the effects an

emergency might have on life, property and aerodrome operations.

“It is also to prepare courses of action to minimise these effects particularly in respect to saving lives”, she said.

Shin-Abba, however, added that the review would further help to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders, put in place a mechanism for feedback and recommendations for programme improvement.

While appealing to the stakeholders to be alive to their specific responsibilities as

detailed in chapter four of the AEP, she emphasized that this would help to reduce fatalities during air accidents.

The Principal Airport Fire Officer, MMIA, Mr Uche Igumba said the AEP was long overdue for a review to allow the stakeholders to make fresh inputs that would ensure better implementation.

Igumba commended the stakeholders for their support towards its success, noting that the MMIA had excelled in various mock safety exercises conducted in the past two years.

Despite 23.2% revenue rise, SAHCO records N302m loss in PBT Michael Ajayi Despite generating N6.2 billion revenue in 2018, Nigeria’s second largest aviation handler, Skyway Aviation Handling Company Plc (SAHCO) recorded a loss in its Profit Before Tax (PBT) of N302.1 million

in 2018.

Although, the firm during the year under review increased its revenue by 23.2 per cent to N6.2 billion as against N4.9 billion declared in 2017.

In its 2018 financial statement sent to The Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE), the company explained that total assets in 2018 stood at

N23.1 billion compared to N14.5 billion attained in 2017.

Within the period under review, the board did not recommend dividend payment while the loss before tax was put at N302.1 million.

Meanwhile, the company explained that it did not make any political donation

during the year.

Details of the financial statement indicate that “Charitable gifts of N15.8 million were given out in accordance with the company’s policy on social development and improvement of the community, the environment and hygienic conditions of the less privileged,” the statement noted.

Lush Hair collaborates with Lagos ministry to boost empowerment Godwin Anyebe Lush Hair, a new hair extension brand has partnered with Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation by absorbing graduates of hairdressing & cosmetology from its Skills Acquisition Program.

This was made public during the formal

presentation of the ladies to the brand at the office in Surulere by the Ministry’s officials, where all agreements and promises were officially established.

The five stylists namely; Ms Ineh Chioma, Ms Adekoya Nike, Ms Surupo Mayowa, Ms. Idowu Elizabeth, Ms Olumegbon Fatimoh were clearly excited about the brands declaration of placing them on a monthly salary despite the flexibility nature of

the job offer.

Speaking on this development, the Brand Manager, Lush Hair, Ms Sukhm Pannu said: “We are delighted to collaborate with the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation on this empowerment project and we hope that this will lead to a lasting and sustainable relationship.

As a brand whose core target is women, we will always strive towards assisting the women-folks

while also encouraging them to be confident and always stay on top of their game irrespective of their background and societal status.”

According to her, “we are engaging them on a flexible contract, as they will be required to work only 15days and they earn a salary at the end of the month. Considering that they have the rest of the days to themselves, it consequently becomes an alternative stream of income for them.”

The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Prof Umar Danbatta and other business thought leaders in the telecommunications ecosystem say a huge investment in telecom infrastructure is crucial to have a robust telecom network and economic growth.

Danbatta, who was a keynote speaker at the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria’s (ATCON) fifth Telecom and Regulatory Forum held Thursday at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, said the current $68 billion investment in Nigeria was huge, but by no means adequate for one of the fastest-growing telecommunications markets in the world, noting that 40 million Nigerians were yet to be reached with basic infrastructure services.

He says the NCC roadmap for broadband has created new frontiers for investment, adding that the quest for data, social media as well as the increasing value added service has also created new frontiers for investments.

On the worrying spate of cybercrime, the NCC EVC, who was represented at the forum by Mr Mohammed Babajika, Director, Policy Competition and Economic Analysis at the NCC submits that cybercrime is evolving at a fast pace with malicious cyber-criminals becoming more sophisticated and better organised using the same Information and Communications Technology infrastructure and systems that have made it easier for people to conduct e-commerce and online transactions being exploited for criminal activities.

“The Nigerian government, being aware of the benefits of ICT to its citizens and the growing concerns about cybersecurity, therefore, carefully developed The National Cyber Security Policy and Strategy documents, and thereof, came up The CYBER CRIMES ACT 2015, which is a cohesive measure towards addressing the nation’s risk exposure in cyberspace.

“Cybersecurity has become an essential component of human activity.Its a high level of complexity requires action at different levels. Given that an increasing number of Nigerians access news through social media, this creates an obvious national security threat”, he explained.

In his welcome address, ATCON President, Mr Olusola Teniola, emphasised the need for more investments to be piped into the telecom sector, calling for all hands to be on deck to win the confidence of the international community to see Nigeria as the preferred investment destination in Africa.

According to Teniola, the industry is being disrupted on a daily basis by new technological innovations.

He says for players in the industry to stay afloat and remain relevant, they must develop new capacities to match the new opportunities that the new system presents.

Speaking on how the deficit in the Nigerian telecom infrastructure can be financed, the Executive Director, Business Development, Broad-based Communication, Chidi Ibisi said the desired investments in the telecom sector would remain a pipedream if the current 22 per cent interest rate is not slashed to a favourable rate.

He called for the collaboration of the NCC and the Central Bank of Nigeria to work out favourable policies to attract the desired investments in the ICT and Telecom sector.

Buhari group faults clerics’ call for Buhari to resign, says he is not well informed

Rt.Hon Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa

Obasa charges Lagos lawmakers to develop love for people-oriented legislation Stories by Patrick Okohue The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa has urged his colleague lawmakers in the House to develop passion for the art of lawmaking.

The Lagos Assembly Speaker made this call at the opening ceremony of a 3-day retreat for the Legislators, organised by the Lagos State House of Assembly, with the theme: “Setting Effective Legislative Agenda for the 9th Lagos State House of Assembly.”

Rt Hon Obasa, who also doubles as Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, reminded his colleagues of their just concluded brainstorming forum on infrastructure

development and finance of Lagos State.

He therefore urged the lawmakers to focus on how the legislature will support the executive through their different committees, noting that, “our obligation is to perform oversight functions and make quality legislations to guide the positive ideas of the Executive.”

Rt.Hon Obasa further charged his colleagues to make judicious use of the retreat, which is meant to entrench them, especially the new members, with the intricacies of quality legislation and representation of their constituents.

While wishing them a rewarding and fulfilling programme, the Lagos Assembly Speaker urged the lawmakers to develop ideas that can accelerate the development and growth of Lagos State.

Bayelsa, Ondo youths cautioned over demand for NDDC Chairman, Managing Director

Some prominent leaders in the SouthSouth region of the country Thursday issued a starn warning to youths in Ondo and Bayelsa states, saying enough is enough of attempts to further deepen the crisis in the Niger Delta region.

The leaders at a meeting in Uyo accused Bayelsa and Ondo youths campaigning for the chairman and managing director’s positions of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) of trying to cause friction and deepen the crisis in the Niger Delta Region.

In a statement issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the National Chairman of South-South Front, Chief John Harry, the leaders urged the youths to stop insulting the sensitivities of the generality of Nigerians by demanding for the chairman and managing director’s positions in the Commission, saying that “These demands are capable of crippling the progress of the region.”

“The demonstrations by some misguided

youths in Port-Harcourt, Akure and Abuja should be seen as one of the diversionary tactics by the enemies of the Niger Delta Region to shift President Muhammadu Buhari’s attention from the NDDC Act,” the leaders said.

They cautioned the youths against anything that could scuttle the bond among the nine oil producing states. “What is the legal backing or power for demanding the positions? The youths and indeed their sponsors in Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Akure are blind to the fact.”

The leaders called on the youths to support the genuine demand of Delta State for the positions.

They also urged President Buhari to purge the region of selfish manipulations and outright illegalities.

“We, however, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to look at the NDDC Act and appoint Deltans as Chairman and Managing Director.”

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the call by Reverend Tunde Adeleye on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign as uncalled for and absolutely unnecessary.

Reacting to the call by Adeleye, the Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Niger Delta of the Anglican Communion, BMO stated that majority of Nigerians are in full support of President Buhari given his numerous achievements in the last four years.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, BMO said Adeleye’s angst stemmed from the inability of the few privileged Nigerians who had, over the years, pillaged the economy of the country, to continue their stealing.

“We note that while the bazaar lasted, critical national infrastructure like roads, railways, power and seaports were left to deteriorate, with the attendant increase in the number of poor people in the country.

There was also the sharp drop in the life expectancy of the average Nigerian to 53 years.

“We wish to recall that before the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari, the

previous PDP Federal Governments paid only lip-service to poverty alleviation, infrastructural development and revival of agriculture.

“This is essentially the difference that President Muhammadu Buhari is making with the vigor he is attending to these vital areas.

“We also need to inform the Archbishop that on account of President Buhari’s commitment to the fight against corruption, more resources are now available for development projects that impact directly on the people unlike in the past when greedy and corrupt individuals feasted on the country’s collective patrimony.”

BMO then urged the clergy to reflect deeply on the problems confronting the country to which the President is concentrating his efforts at finding lasting solutions.

“We expect that as a clergyman, Archbishop Adeleye will use his position to pray for the success of the Buhari administration, for the benefit of all citizens. We also enjoin him and other clergymen in the country to key into the various efforts of the Federal Government to reposition the country, especially as their achievements are glaring to all Nigerians.”

Four killed as car bombs target funeral in Libya’s Benghazi

At least four people were killed and 33 wounded when two car bombs exploded at a funeral for a former special forces commander in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.

Those killed in Thursday’s blast included two civilians and two soldiers, while soldiers, police, and civilians were among the injured, Interior Ministry spokesman Tarek el-Kharraz told The Associated Press.

Several senior Libya National Army (LNA) figures, including current head of the special forces Wanis Bukhamada, attended the funeral service when the explosions happened, but none of the military leaders was killed or wounded, Kharraz said.

Al Jazeera’s Mahmoud Abdelwahed, reporting from the capital, Tripoli, quoted medical sources in Benghazi as saying the death toll could rise, with many of those wounded in critical condition.

Colonel Khalifa Alobiedi, a military engineer who was at the bomb site, said initial findings suggested the attack was caused by two bombladen cars. He pointed to two burned vehicles about 10 metres apart.

No immediate claim of responsibility was made.

Renegade commander Khalifa Haftar leads the LNA, which is aligned with an eastern-based government.

Shortly after the explosions, Haftar ordered an investigation into the attack.

According to Kharraz, the east-based government recently arrested a group of collaborators inside Benghazi who were in touch with Tripoli-based militias. During interrogation, they confessed there were other cells of collaborators inside the LNA stronghold.

Haftar’s forces have been fighting rival militias since April in a bid to wrestle control of Tripoli from Libya’s internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).

Fighting has killed more than 1,000 people since it erupted, according to the United Nations, at least 106 civilians. treated as terror-related, with Protection Command.

Times Guest Columnist

By Louis Odion

The cell-phone beeped frantically.

With the caller ID with-held, it was easy to surmise that it was either a foreign call or someone preferring anonymity. Pressing the receive button, my hunch was dead right. The baritone voice was unmistakable: it was the literary lion himself roaring from his den on the other side of the Atlantic.

“Hey Louis, what’s the trouble at home this time?,” he teased in his accustomed patriarchal flourish.

“Good day, Prof,” I responded and, excited that my repeated dials had finally paid off, quickly switched to the sarcastic mode Kongi had set. “It’s Maradona again o. Of all the idle pensioners left in Nigeria, the NLNG people just declared that he’s the only one fit to give keynote address at the next Prize ceremony.”

Indeed, heavy dust had been raised earlier on this day in September 2007 following the unveiling of General Ibrahim Babangida as the lead speaker at the exclusive shindig, to which the who’s who in Nigeria’s literary community get invited annually.

As editor of Sunday Sun then with a robust literary section, this writer was urgently seeking Professor Wole Soyinka’s comment, to set the agenda ahead of the presentation ceremony scheduled for the following weekend.

Without mincing words, Kongi released the expected bombshell: “Abominable!!”

His logic was simple: having been linked to the unnatural deaths of a few literary celebrities as military dictator and having presided over an order that flagrantly stifled free speech, it was simply unacceptable that the microphone be yielded to the former military dictator at a ceremony intended to celebrate the spoken or written word.

To him, that amounted to dancing on the graves of the likes of poet Mamman Vatsa (a military general summarily executed over the alleged 1985 military coup despite passionate pleas from the nation’s leading writers including Soyinka) and Dele Giwa (celebrated journalist dispatched by a letter bomb on October 19, 1986).

Almost breathless with rage, Soyinka said: “I call on ANA (Association of Nigerian Authors) to boycott the NLNG Grand Award Night unless the organizers reverse themselves on the choice of General Ibrahim Babangida as keynote speaker, mindful of his antecedents. His choice is an affront on intellectuals in the country.

“NLNG has the right to invite whoever it pleases. It should also be understood that ANA, as a democratic institution, reserves the right to boycott. Saying that invitation extended to IBB is in the exercise of freedom of expression is a distraction. It is agreed that freedom of expression is consistent with democracy. Let it also be noted that ANA has, in this regard, a responsibility of action against the man who destroyed democracy in the country, whose policies stifled intellectual growth.”

With such thunderous denunciation by Kongi, yours sincerely was left salivating with some malicious pleasure at a steaming exclusive and did not think twice before making it a front-page story with the headline, “NLNG Award: Soyinka moves against IBB.” Predictably, Soyinka’s eruption instantly triggered a concatenation of lightning and thunder across the land. Literary icons like Professors Niyi Osundare and Okey Ndibe added to IBB’s misery with their barbs. There were a few dissenters, however. At the end, the 2007 edition of the Literature Prize organized by the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas was completely overshadowed by the debate on the propriety or otherwise of inviting a military dictator to a literary feast.

Fleeting as it may seem, the foregoing anecdote nonetheless speaks to one fact: another confirmation of Professor Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka as the conscience of a nation

blighted by vanity and amnesia, with a deep moral voice whose resonance not only sends fear into the hearts of men of power but also inspires generations of men and women to stand up and be counted for good.

By and large, what truly makes Soyinka great is not so much for the monumentality of a talent that spews pithy poetry, gripping prose and transcendental drama. His greatness lies more in the courage and character he brings to bear in creativity.

At an age when no territory seems restricted any more, when many yesterday’s heroes and heroines have been exposed to be counterfeits, when more and more of the surviving statesmen would rather trade away their honour for temporary gains, Kongi remains an exemplar, distinguished from the multitude by his trademark hoary mane accentuated by an equally immaculate goatee.

My early contact with him was through the channel of the written word. Beginning from secondary school, to the polytechnic and later the university, I read tons and tons of Soyinka’s works to find my own feet as a writer. As many students will attest, Soyinka’s poems were a source of dread and torture.

But the Kongi I would later encounter as journalist was a pleasant man. Despite his world celebrity status, his humility is very numbing and, as the good teacher, he never allows any opportunity to mentor the younger ones pass.

As one of the pioneers of THISDAY back page back in mid-90s, this writer was introduced to him by a professional ‘egbon’ (senior), Dr. Yemi Ogunbiyi, during a flight to Abuja from Lagos.

“Oh, your face is already familiar,” he said, offering me a handshake. “You’re one of those I read on THISDAY back page.”

Coming from the owner of the word himself, the Nobel laureate, a famous name I grew up worshipping, I felt completely flattered that my own little juvenile jottings made some sense to Soyinka. I took his contact and tried to stay in touch. Thus began a relationship that grew from acquaintanceship to discipleship. He has a natural affinity, instinctive solidarity with anyone in the writing fraternity.

I have seen him deploy his awesome clout to extract better deals for fellow writers. While delivering a keynote address at the inaugural edition of the NLNG Prize for Literature many years ago, Soyinka had tactfully bad-mouthed the organizers for being too “stingy” by the amount set aside as the Prize money in view of the “fortune you daily amass from the soil of Niger Delta.”

In clear breach of protocol, he thereafter unilaterally declared that in the exercise of his “natural powers” as the “defender of writers” the amount was upped from 10,000 to 30,000 US Dollars. The Kongi’s coup elicited a standing ovation from the galaxy of writers gathered in the expansive hall that night. The rapturous applause continued when his speech ended. Reading the mood in the audience correctly, NLNG’s MD had little or no choice than announce the approval of Soyinka’s proposal.

To the younger ones like yours sincerely, Soyinka’s father-figure stature naturally makes him a guardian. But despite the wide age difference, Kongi also relates to you as a friend with incredible sense of humour.

During one of his frequent visits to Nigeria, he gladly consented to an interview request I made. The only problem was time, because he had several speaking engagements already lined up.

Finally, he decided to squeeze out time inbetween a lecture at the National Arts Theatre, Lagos.

On the D-Day, we were already more than thirty minutes into the session when I suddenly noticed that the tape-recorder was stuck. My heart skipped with embarrassment.

I quickly demobilized the gadget and played

back. Lo, not a single word was recorded!

“Haba! Louis, shame on you. You mean a journalist of your standing still carries around a counterfeit recorder,” he teased, without the slightest sign of irritation that his precious time had been wasted on account of an avoidable mechanical malfunction. Graciously, he accepted we begin afresh.

His fiery pen and caustic tongue notwithstanding, Kongi remains tender at heart; one who may disagree with you in principle, but never holds back in the fellowship of humanity or be detained by bitterness over the past. Only that could possibly explain the complicated relationship he has had over the years with his kinsman, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Feisty OBJ had decided to veer from the political turf as sitting president in 2005 to engage Soyinka in an epistolary joust. In a statement he personally signed, he took a swipe at Kongi for criticizing his policies.

But discerning observers who read the open letter could not but raise their hands in panic immediately, fearful of the approaching literary wrath on the proverbial errant native doctor who carries his ritual offering past a mosque.

While it was easily conceded that OBJ was cantankerous by nature, many had expected that his fabled native intelligence would have served him well by dissuading him from venturing into a square rope against Kongi in a literary duel.

Their worst fears were soon proved right.

Soyinka’s response was an atomic bomb. By the time the smoke cleared, OBJ’s presidential garment was torn beyond recognition. For once, the Ota chicken farmer became tonguetied. Months later, the animus that open ‘roforofo’ (dirty fight) had generated would not prevent Kongi from showing up at the funeral of OBJ’s spouse, Stella, who died suddenly following complications arising from a medical procedure in Spain.

When OBJ finally met with Kongi face to face on the aisle outside the funeral parlour, the story is told of how the president exploded in a playful rage, ‘Wole, iwo! (Wole, You!)’, raising an arm in mock threat. Defiant Kongi fired back, “Segun, Ori e!”, thumping his own head in a supreme Yoruba gesture of contempt.

Obviously more embarrassed than amused by such show of audacity, the band of guards around the President cleverly looked away.

Again, when Chief Emeka Ojukwu qualified the victory he achieved in the sham elections arranged by the Abacha junta to select delegates for the 1994 Constitutional Conference as conferring on him a mandate “superior to June 12”, vintage Soyinka gave expression to popular thinking in the country then by simply dismissing the exBiafran secessionist as “an expired warlord”.

That critical riposte would not prevent Kongi from attending Ojukwu’s burial in 2012 to pay last respect to a personal friend.

Same generosity of spirit is very much in evidence in his warm relationship today with General Yakubu Gowon. At the presentation of a memoir by Oba Eradiuawa of Benin in 2014, Soyinka continually poked good-natured jokes at Gowon while giving a keynote address, to the admiration of the audience. It was hard to believe that it was same Gowon who had clamped him into the gulag during the Nigerian civil war. In fact, his 20-month solitary confinement birthed the book, “The Man Died”.

When it was his turn to speak, the former head of state threw the crowd into a fresh bout of laughter by cautioning Kongi to watch his tongue: “You should remember that it was because of the same sharp tongue of yours that I sent you to prison in the 60s.”

Being the first black man to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Soyinka’s life surely sends an enduring message: the infinite possibilities of the black race and the value in character.

Here is wishing him happy 85th birthday.

AFCON 2019: Okowa hails resilient Super Eagles for semi-final qualification Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on Wednesday congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria for qualifying for the Semi finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON. The Super Eagles of Nigeria qualified for the Semi finals of the 32nd edition of the tournament by beating the Bafana Bafana of South Africa by 2-1.

Governor Okowa in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Charles Aniagwu in Asaba on Wednesday commended the resilience of the Nigeria National side, adding that Deltans and Nigerians are fervently praying for the team to succeed in their quest to bring back the trophy home.

He commended the coaching crew and the NFF for ensuring that all necessary logistics were put in place to encourage the Eagles to defeat their South African counterparts.

The Governor urged the Eagles to remain focused and make the nation proud once again when they take on their next opponents in the semi final encounter.

“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State i congratulate you all for your success so far even as i urge you all to remain commited and focused as you approach your next opponent in the semi-final encounter.

“I have no doubt in mind that you will all remain committed as you prosecute the next match with same zeal and vigour as Nigerians are desirous to see you return home with the coveted trophy,” he added.

...Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola promise Super Eagles $50,000, $25,000 per goal in semis, final The day after their exquisite and efficient performance against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, conquerors of seven-time champions and host nation Egypt, that saw them reach the semi-finals of AFCON 2019, the Super Eagles received pledges of more dollar rain from two of Africa’s richest businessmen.

On a visit to the team’s Le Meridien Cairo Airport hotel on Thursday morning, during which he urged the players to even redouble their efforts in order to cross the semi-final stage on Sunday, President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, put a call through to the two well-known philanthropists and tasked them to commit to supporting the team.

While Dangote made a pledge of $50,000 to the team for every goal in their

remaining two matches at the championship, Otedola pledged the sum of $25,000 for every goal.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who holds Nigeria’s second highest national honour (GCON) is the President of Dangote Group and is ranked as the richest person of African descent in the world. The Dangote Group has interests in various commodities in Nigeria and other African countries.

Oil baron Femi Otedola has recently been involved in a number of commendable interventions for ailing former Nigerian international players, including 1980 AFCON winning team–captain Christian Chukwuemeka Chukwu and goalkeeper Peter Fregene.

encouragement came from His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) following Wednesday night’s victory, with the President urging “the team and their handlers to be focused, disciplined and scale the remaining two hurdles to glory.”

It would be recalled that following their Round of 16 defeat of Cup holders Cameroon in Alexandria on Saturday, businessman Captain Hosea Wells Okunbo pledged the sum of $20,000 for every player, while Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu came good with $5,000 for every player.

NFF’s Official Optimum Partner AITEO also weighed in with the sum of $75,000, being $25,000 for each of the three goals scored by the team against the Indomitable Lions.
