Naira firms, external reserves steady... Continued from page 1
Nigeria (CBN) continued to support the interbank market foreign exchange market with total injections of $473 million and CNY 39 million in the first two trading weeks this year. But while comparing turnover in the I&E FX in December, The Daily Times discovered that the window recorded an 8.50 per cent ($0.46bn) Month –onMonth (MoM) decrease to close at $4.95 billion from the $5.41 billion recorded in November. The total FX market turnover in December was $11.01 billion, which represented a 17.22 per cent ($2.29bn) MoM decline from the $13.30 billion turnover recorded in the previous month, however, recorded $59.75 billion from January 1 to December 31, 2018. However, the latest FMDQ OTC report showed that the decrease in FX turnover in December can be attributed to the 41.96 per cent and 2.66 per cent decline in Member-Clients and Inter-Member trades which was only partly offset by the 6.75 per cent increase in MemberCBN4 trades. But analysis of FX turnover by product type showed that FX Derivatives was the main driver of the overall MoM decline in FX turnover, with a MoM increase of 41.33 per cent to $2.73 billion, driven mainly by an 84.79 per cent rise in FX Swaps turnover. Contrastingly, FX Spot recorded a MoM decrease of 74.75 per cent to $5.01 billion. For instance, in December 30th, Naira-settled OTC FX Futures Contract (NGUS DEC 26, 2018) with total open contract of $664.78mm matured and was settled on FMDQ, while a new 12-month Futures contract (NGUS DEC 24, 2019) with a notional principal of $1.00 billion and futures price of $/N366.24 was listed on the OTC Exchange. The apex bank had intervened in the FX market twice this year, with the first injection happened on January 4, 2019, in the interbank sector of the Foreign Exchange market with a total sum of $210 million injected into the wholesale segment and other sectors of the market. A breakdown of the figures obtained from the CBN showed that customers in the Wholesale sector of the market received the sum of $100 million with the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and invisibles sectors each getting $55 million to meet the needs of customers. The CBN, in its second intervention for the year, injected the sum of $263 million into the Retail Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS), in addition to the sum CNY 39 million consummated through a combination of spot and short-tenored forwards, arising from bids received from authorized dealers. The figures obtained from the CBN on Friday revealed that the US dollar-denominated interventions were for requests in the agricultural and raw materials sectors while the Yuan sale was for payment of Renminbi-denominated Letters of Credit for agriculture as well as raw materials. The Bank’s Director in-charge of Corporate Communications,
Mr. Isaac Okorafor, said that the CBN continued from where it stopped in 2018 in order to maintain the stability being enjoyed in the market. Mr. Okorafor said the move was in furtherance of the Governor’s avowed commitment to ensuring foreign exchange liquidity in the system as well as boosting trade and production. He expressed confidence that the CBN, in the weeks ahead, will sustain its intervention through the sale of foreign exchange to all segments of the market to meet all legitimate foreign exchange demand in the market while also striving to achieve exchange rate stability in the market. Okorafor also disclosed that the Governor, Godwin Emefiele, will further unfold the Bank’s plans for the year during the first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting for the year scheduled for January 21 to 22, 2019. While noting that the Bank had made a commendable effort in keeping the exchange rates at the current levels, Okorafor reechoed the Bank’s Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, saying that the current capital flow reversals from the emerging markets were expected to bring out pressures on the market rates. He, however, assured that in spite of the anticipated pressures, coupled with the forthcoming elections, the Bank was committed to maintaining the current exchange rate policy, given the level of reserves. Quoting the Governor, Okorafor said that the CBN was determined to sustain a stable exchange rate as it continues to put in place relevant measures to shore up the country’s reserves. It is, however, worthy of note that despite the apex bank commitment to continue to support the naira, while ensuring financial system stability, the nation’s external reserves stood steady at $43.052 billion as at January 10, 2019, as against $39.429 billion in the corresponding period of 2018. Meanwhile, the local currency closed flat at N306.9 against the dollar at the interbank market as it continues to see support from apex bank’s intervention sales. But was at N306.95 in prior week at the interbank market of the CBN from N307 it closed 2018. At the parallel market, while the Naira lost 0.28per cent against the dollar to close at N363, it closed flat at N460 and N410 against pounds and Euro, respectively. At the Investors & Exporters Foreign Exchange (I&E FX) window, while the Naira lost 0.25 per cent against Pounds to close at N465.92, it gained 0.05 per cent and 0.37per cent against the dollar and euro to close at N364.94 and N417.58 respectively. Analysts at United Capital said naira trading would remain within the tight band of N360-N370 dollar in the first half of 2019, despite growing fears of an imminent devaluation. The Lagos based company in its ‘Nigeria Outlook 2019: Sailing through the Storm’ report said, “We expect the naira to remain relatively stable in H1-
resolve to defend the local unit supported by a strong dollar reserve position. However, the outlook for H2-19 is clouded by the likely change in leadership of the CBN from Jul-19. “We see the naira trading within the tight band of N360/$-N370/$ in H1-19, despite growing fears of an imminent devaluation. “At $43.2 billion, the Apex Bank can conveniently meet up to 10 months of import. As such, the outlook for the local currency remains relatively stable in the interim, despite potential pressure in the political space ahead of the 2019 general election. “Accordingly, we expect FX rate to depreciate marginally at the I & E window, pressured by net capital outflow expected to weigh in Q1-19. Similarly, parallel market rates may witness some pressure but the CBN will maintain a fixed rate at the official window. “The inflow of funds into the Nigerian economy is not expected to improve significantly in H1-19 amid election uncertainties. However, we expect a net capital inflow in H2-19 regardless of the election outcome. “Downside risks to this outlook include changes in the policy environment traceable to changes at the Apex bank as well as the overall development in the polity. Increased pressure on FX and net capital outflow in Q1-19 points to further depletion of the external reserves; we imagine another $2-3billion decline if recent the trend is anything to go by. Should this hold true, the CBN would be left with $40-$42billion dollar reserves going into H2-19.” Meanwhile, Profit-taking has emerged in the equities market of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) with investors losing N302 billion in oneweek trading amid political uncertainty leading to foreign investors exit. This represents 2.6 per cent decline in market capitalization, a parameter used in measuring the value of all companies traded, from N11.426 trillion when it opened for trading as against N11.124 trillion achieved last Friday. Similarly, Instrument used in measuring the equities market performance, the All-Share Index (ASI) which opened at 30,638.90 basis points lost 808.20 basis points or 2.64 per cent to close at 29,830.70 basis points the equities market. Against that backdrop, the Month-to-Date equities market loss increased to 5.09 per cent. All the equities market indices recorded drop with the exception of the NSE Industrial Goods Index that rose by 1.00 per cent while the NSE ASeM index closed flat. According to NSE weekly report, “A total turnover of 1.265 billion shares worth N14.074 billion in 19,278 deals were traded this week by investors on the floor of the Exchange in contrast to a total of 1.647 billion shares valued at N8.413 billion that exchanged hands last week in 14,773 deals. “The Financial Services Industry (measured by volume) led the activity chart with 1.072

Buratai honours FOI request, states how funds for military operations were spent Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja In response to the joint Freedom of Information request by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), Enough is Enough (EiE), and BudgIT request asking the Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, LT. Gen. Tukur Buratai, to provide information on spending on military operations across the country, particularly in the Northeast, the COAS has responded to the request. This was disclosed on Sunday by SERAP’s senior legal adviser, Bamisope Adeyanju, in a statement on behalf of the civil society groups. According to her, “the bulky photographic and textual documentation with a cover letter dated 24 December 2018 was delivered to SERAP’s office last Friday by a military officer at around 11:40am.” The letter with reference number AHQDCMA/G4/100/4 and signed on Buratai’s behalf by Brigadier-General S.B. Kumapayi read in part: “The Nigerian Army (NA) has in recent time come under unrelenting public scrutiny by both private individuals and Non-governmental organisations over issues of appropriation of funds. The most recent being a call from your organisation for the Nigerian Army to explain how funds appropriated for the NA under the administration of the Chief of Army Staff were utilised.” “In view of the above, I am directed to forward the abovementioned document to your office for your perusal and retention. Please accept the esteemed regards and assurance of the Chief of Army Staff.” Bamisope Adeyanju, on behalf of the civil society groups, said: “This is a joint FOI request involving EiE and BudgIT and not just SERAP. Therefore, our groups
will carefully study the letter and documentation by Mr. Buratai to see if details of the information provided meet the requirements of our request and then promptly respond to him, as appropriate.” “While we ascertain the level of compliance of the information provided, we welcome Mr. Buratai’s demonstrated commitment to the Freedom of Information Act by responding to our request, especially at a time when high-ranking government officials including the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Audu Ogbeh and Minister of Power, Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola continue to exhibit blatant disregard for FOI requests by refusing to even acknowledge several of such requests.” “The National Assembly, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), ministries, agencies and departments should also learn from the good example shown by Mr. Buratai by at least honouring and responding to FOI requests from Nigerians, NGOs and others if they are ever to contribute to the efforts to achieve greater level of transparency and accountability in Nigeria.” According to SERAP, “a quick look at the documentation shows a list of several projects reportedly implemented by the Nigerian Army. Among those listed and displayed, which appeared to show certain projects the Nigerian Army said it carried out with budgeted funds, include: places where operations were carried out; renovation of barracks and military hospitals, spending to honour late soldiers; trainings and workshops; repairs of some old military equipment; and completion of offices and housing projects. Others are feeding of soldiers; building of new barracks and schools; acquisition of arms and ammunition and vehicles for military operations; as well as provision of welfare for soldiers.”

Buratai Reall that SERAP, EiE and BudgIT had in a joint FOI request asked the COAS to use his good offices and leadership position to “urgently provide information on the 2015, 2016 and 2017 budget implementation reports of the Nigerian Army, including the amounts released (financial implications) and expended in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 for the various operations the Army carried out.” The groups also him to furnish them with “the amounts released (financial implications) and expended in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 for: Operation Lafiya Dole, Operation Safe Haven, Operation Python Dance, Operation Ruwan Wuta, Operation Delta Safe, Operation Mesa, Operation Harbin Kunama, Operation Awatse, Operation Tsera Teku and Operation Crocodile Smile.” The FOI request sent December 2018 and signed by Bamisope Adeyanju of SERAP, Seun Akinyemi of EiE and Atiku Samuel of BudgIT, read in part: “Transparency of the budget process and its implementation is
an essential condition to achieve good governance. The reports, if provided and published, will shed light on military spending and put to rest once and for all the perceived lack of transparency and accountability in the spending of military budgets, which has been a subject of intense public debate and concern.” “If the requested information is not provided within 14 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, our organizations shall take all appropriate legal action under the Freedom of Information Act to compel you to comply with our request.” “Several billions of naira allocated to the military to defend the country and protect its people have neither contributed to improving the ability of Nigerian soldiers to fight Boko Haram and other armed groups nor provided the much-needed security especially for Nigerians in the North-east of the country.” “The information being requested does not come within the purview of the types of information exempted from disclosure by the provisions of

Capital market analysts attributed that foreign portfolio investors were offloading and running for safety as “political risks” surrounding the 2019 general elections were beginning to play out. They added that investors at the moment had two options of investing for long-term or to sell down in order to cut the huge losses to invest back when eventually the market rebounded.
Anxiety as FG docks CJN Onnoghen today Continued from page 4 magnitude with a media trial is pregnant with innuendos least needed by the polity at this sensitive time. The speaker asserted that Nigeria is a country governed by laws with clearly spelt out procedures and processes for their activation. “It is important that people in authority should exercise power with decorum and not plunge the nation into needless crises as Nigeria is not a banana Republic. “This is a matter that affects another arm of government and its head which should be treated with caution so as not to send the wrong signal that there is a political undertone or other ulterior motives to the issue. “As we raised our voice when the National Assembly was invaded by hooded security men last year, it is incumbent on us as the legislature to voice our concerns because we operate under a system where three arms of government are co - equal branches and enjoy a measure of independence guaranteed by the constitution. “As we approach the general elections, it is incumbent on the prosecutorial authorities to exercise caution and treat matters of this nature with utmost circumspection,” he added. S’South Governors ask Buhari to quash CJN’s trial, urge Onnoghen not to resign In their reaction, Governors of the SouthSouth states unanimously condemned the planned trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stop
the trial forthwith to save the nation from international embarrassment. The governors rose from an emergency meeting held at the Bayelsa State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Sunday night to call on the President “to condemn without any equivocation, this assault on the CJN and the judiciary especially coming after similar assaults on the National Assembly, to save the country from this embarrassment and global contempt”. The governors also called on the CJN, Justice Onnoghen, to ignore this so-called Court summon from the CCB and the provocative call for his resignation in some quarters. They resolved that the action against the CJN constitutes a setback to the gains of the nation’s democratic experience of 20 years. Reading the resolution of the meeting, the convener and Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, said: “We note that under Section 158(1) of the 1999 Constitution, the National Judicial Council, has ample powers to deal exhaustively with matters pertaining to allegations of misconduct and discipline of judicial officers. Specifically, the NJC has the powers and clear procedures for investigating allegations, and recommending appropriate sanctions or disciplinary measures against judicial officials as a matter of first instance before any further steps. “We note that the attempt to drag the CJN to the CCT is also a grave and dangerous escalation of the assault on institutions of state including the National Assembly and the judiciary”. They said that President Buhari has a constitutional responsibility and huge moral obligation to defend the nation’s democracy.
“Therefore, we consider this step, which is directly aimed at humiliating the nation’s highest judicial officer and a prominent son of the region, as totally unacceptable as it is reflective of the South-South story of endless marginalisation and intimidation. The unceremonious removal of former Acting Director General of the Department of State Service, Mathew Seiyefa and his replacement is still very fresh. “We note that the unfortunate action against the CJN further reinforces the perception that the Buhari administration has no regard for the sentiments of Nigerians, in particular the people of Niger Delta, and the rule of law. “It is a fact that this administration has a penchant for flagrant disobedience of and disregard for legitimate and valid court orders. “We expect President Buhari to know that democracy cannot survive without respect for the constitution, strict adherence to the rule of law, and separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution”. They argued that the regrettable development at the Supreme Court at this critical time, when preparations for the general elections are wobbling (with serious concern about INEC and security agencies) is capable of causing avoidable anxiety, tension and possible breakdown of law and order in the country. They noted further that the action undermines confidence not only in the judiciary but also the electoral process that has already commenced, in view of the pivotal role that the judiciary plays in the process of electoral adjudication. “We affirm President Buhari should know that the continuous assault on critical
institutions of state is a defining feature of a dictatorship, and that the President is obliged to live up to his word that he is a born-again democrat, as he assured Nigerians in 2015. “While we are not opposed to a genuine fight against corruption, such an action must always be anchored on the rule of law. “We also decry the massive buildup of arms by APC leaders and members across the Niger Delta with the intent to cause mayhem and a general breakdown of law and order during the elections,”, he said The meeting, called at the instance of the Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson, who is also Chairman of the SouthSouth Governors Forum, was attended by the Governors of Cross River State, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states. N’Delta will resist attempt to intimidate Onnoghen, says Clark Meanwhile, former Federal Commissioner for Information and NigerDelta leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has warned that the people of Niger Delta would resist any attempt by President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to harass and force the CJN out of office because of the plan by All Progressives Congress, APC, to rig the elections. Speaking in a telephone conversation, the Ijaw leader, said: “The people of Nigeria Delta will not accept the CJN being harassed and forced out of office because President Muhammadu Buhari and his party want someone, who will do their bidding after rigging the elections. “Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, which represents the traditional rulers, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta and indeed the entire Niger Delta
people, will never accept it. We will go all out legally to fight this battle and will never yield to anybody. It is pure victimisation. “We were all shocked on Saturday when the news came that the Chief Justice of Nigeria is being charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. This is clearly unnecessary harassment of the judiciary, a different arm of government that is independent. “First of all, we all know that before the Chief Justice was appointed, the same President Buhari delayed it, refused to appoint him until when he went on leave on health grounds and that enabled the Vice President, who was acting President to send his name to the Senate for confirmation and appointment. “Buhari has always preferred that one of his kinsmen should be the Chief Justice of Nigeria. CJN Onnoghen has done nothing wrong, you cannot charge him to court because the court lacks jurisdiction to try him. The matter should first got the National Judicial Council, NJC. “They just want to harass him, molest him simply because they want somebody that will be pliable after they have rigged the elections, to appoint tribunal chairmen and members for them to consolidate their rigging. “That is all what they are looking for, not any other thing, but I want to warn that this country belongs to all of us. If some people think that they own this country, let them have it and others will have their own country. “You cannot treat some people as if they are slaves or second-class citizens in this country, we will never allow it, not at this time, the harassment is becoming too much”.

A look at the price movement chart showed that only 22 equities appreciated in price during the week, the same with 22 in the previous week. 44 equities depreciated in price, lower than 45 of the previous week, while 103 equities remained unchanged higher than 97 equities recorded in the preceding week. Capital market analysts attributed that foreign portfolio investors were offloading and running for safety as “political risks” surrounding the 2019 general elections were beginning to play out. They added that investors at the moment had two options of investing for long-term or to sell down in order to cut the huge losses to invest back when eventually the market rebounded.
Anxiety as FG docks CJN Onnoghen today Continued from page 4 magnitude with a media trial is pregnant with innuendos least needed by the polity at this sensitive time. The speaker asserted that Nigeria is a country governed by laws with clearly spelt out procedures and processes for their activation. “It is important that people in authority should exercise power with decorum and not plunge the nation into needless crises as Nigeria is not a banana Republic. “This is a matter that affects another arm of government and its head which should be treated with caution so as not to send the wrong signal that there is a political undertone or other ulterior motives to the issue. “As we raised our voice when the National Assembly was invaded by hooded security men last year, it is incumbent on us as the legislature to voice our concerns because we operate under a system where three arms of government are co - equal branches and enjoy a measure of independence guaranteed by the constitution. “As we approach the general elections, it is incumbent on the prosecutorial authorities to exercise caution and treat matters of this nature with utmost circumspection,” he added. S’South Governors ask Buhari to quash CJN’s trial, urge Onnoghen not to resign In their reaction, Governors of the SouthSouth states unanimously condemned the planned trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stop
the trial forthwith to save the nation from international embarrassment. The governors rose from an emergency meeting held at the Bayelsa State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Sunday night to call on the President “to condemn without any equivocation, this assault on the CJN and the judiciary especially coming after similar assaults on the National Assembly, to save the country from this embarrassment and global contempt”. The governors also called on the CJN, Justice Onnoghen, to ignore this so-called Court summon from the CCB and the provocative call for his resignation in some quarters. They resolved that the action against the CJN constitutes a setback to the gains of the nation’s democratic experience of 20 years. Reading the resolution of the meeting, the convener and Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, said: “We note that under Section 158(1) of the 1999 Constitution, the National Judicial Council, has ample powers to deal exhaustively with matters pertaining to allegations of misconduct and discipline of judicial officers. Specifically, the NJC has the powers and clear procedures for investigating allegations, and recommending appropriate sanctions or disciplinary measures against judicial officials as a matter of first instance before any further steps. “We note that the attempt to drag the CJN to the CCT is also a grave and dangerous escalation of the assault on institutions of state including the National Assembly and the judiciary”. They said that President Buhari has a constitutional responsibility and huge moral obligation to defend the nation’s democracy.
“Therefore, we consider this step, which is directly aimed at humiliating the nation’s highest judicial officer and a prominent son of the region, as totally unacceptable as it is reflective of the South-South story of endless marginalisation and intimidation. The unceremonious removal of former Acting Director General of the Department of State Service, Mathew Seiyefa and his replacement is still very fresh. “We note that the unfortunate action against the CJN further reinforces the perception that the Buhari administration has no regard for the sentiments of Nigerians, in particular the people of Niger Delta, and the rule of law. “It is a fact that this administration has a penchant for flagrant disobedience of and disregard for legitimate and valid court orders. “We expect President Buhari to know that democracy cannot survive without respect for the constitution, strict adherence to the rule of law, and separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution”. They argued that the regrettable development at the Supreme Court at this critical time, when preparations for the general elections are wobbling (with serious concern about INEC and security agencies) is capable of causing avoidable anxiety, tension and possible breakdown of law and order in the country. They noted further that the action undermines confidence not only in the judiciary but also the electoral process that has already commenced, in view of the pivotal role that the judiciary plays in the process of electoral adjudication. “We affirm President Buhari should know that the continuous assault on critical
institutions of state is a defining feature of a dictatorship, and that the President is obliged to live up to his word that he is a born-again democrat, as he assured Nigerians in 2015. “While we are not opposed to a genuine fight against corruption, such an action must always be anchored on the rule of law. “We also decry the massive buildup of arms by APC leaders and members across the Niger Delta with the intent to cause mayhem and a general breakdown of law and order during the elections,”, he said The meeting, called at the instance of the Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson, who is also Chairman of the SouthSouth Governors Forum, was attended by the Governors of Cross River State, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states. N’Delta will resist attempt to intimidate Onnoghen, says Clark Meanwhile, former Federal Commissioner for Information and NigerDelta leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has warned that the people of Niger Delta would resist any attempt by President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to harass and force the CJN out of office because of the plan by All Progressives Congress, APC, to rig the elections. Speaking in a telephone conversation, the Ijaw leader, said: “The people of Nigeria Delta will not accept the CJN being harassed and forced out of office because President Muhammadu Buhari and his party want someone, who will do their bidding after rigging the elections. “Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, which represents the traditional rulers, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta and indeed the entire Niger Delta
people, will never accept it. We will go all out legally to fight this battle and will never yield to anybody. It is pure victimisation. “We were all shocked on Saturday when the news came that the Chief Justice of Nigeria is being charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. This is clearly unnecessary harassment of the judiciary, a different arm of government that is independent. “First of all, we all know that before the Chief Justice was appointed, the same President Buhari delayed it, refused to appoint him until when he went on leave on health grounds and that enabled the Vice President, who was acting President to send his name to the Senate for confirmation and appointment. “Buhari has always preferred that one of his kinsmen should be the Chief Justice of Nigeria. CJN Onnoghen has done nothing wrong, you cannot charge him to court because the court lacks jurisdiction to try him. The matter should first got the National Judicial Council, NJC. “They just want to harass him, molest him simply because they want somebody that will be pliable after they have rigged the elections, to appoint tribunal chairmen and members for them to consolidate their rigging. “That is all what they are looking for, not any other thing, but I want to warn that this country belongs to all of us. If some people think that they own this country, let them have it and others will have their own country. “You cannot treat some people as if they are slaves or second-class citizens in this country, we will never allow it, not at this time, the harassment is becoming too much”.

61 parties approach court to stop INEC from releasing 2019 poll guideline Say INEC guideline conflicts with Electoral Act, 1999 Constitution
Tunde Opalana, Abuja Controversies surrounding the 2019 election guidelines billed for release by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have taken a new turn as 61 political parties head to court to stop INEC from releasing the document. The parties also sought to quash some sections of the draft guideline which they said are in conflict with the provisions of the 1999 constitution and capable of creating avenue for massive rigging of the 2019 elections. The suit which will come up at the Federal High Court in Abuja was instituted by Chairmen of four political parties on behalf of the rest against the Guideline. The Plaintiffs, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere of APP; DR. Sam Ekpe of GPN; Nsehe Nseobong of RP and Barr. Kenneth Udeze of AA, are seeking an Exparte Application for an injunction to restrain the INEC chairman from going ahead with the planned release of the controversial guideline. The chairmen of the political parties insisted that the only way to have free and fair election is for those obnoxious clauses contained in the
guidelines which does not promote free and fair elections to be expunged and that the INEC chairman summon an emergency meeting with political parties chairmen to finally address the grey areas contained in the guidelines to avoid the 2019 election running into a hitch and credibility crisis even before the day of election. The parties accused the chairman of INEC retaining the 2011 and 2015 separate accreditation and separate voting system which Nigerian voters are fully familiar with and avoid creating confusion and loophole for massive tampering of result with the continuous/same time accreditation and voting. They said that INEC recently tried the method in few re-runs but that is not enough to extend such voting method to all parts of the country few weeks to the election. The parties demanded “that INEC should continue the separate accreditation and separate voting system and ensure that at the end of accreditation across the country on Election Day. That INEC polling unit staff first announce the total polling unit accredited figures and sign and issue out to party agents at the polling unit before commencement of voting
thereby protecting the sanctity of the votes by securing the accreditation figures which if announced before voting and given to agents it will make post election and voting manipulation difficult because the accreditation figures are already out and riggers cant tamper with the election outcome or increase the votes again. “Other contentious issues are the flawed accreditation procedure which allows fake voters whose names are not on the voters register including people with fake PVC or voters not properly accredited been allowed to vote”, said the spokesperson of the Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Ikenga Ugochinyere in a statement on Sunday.. He said the party chairmen are currently mobilising more party leaders to move against the INEC chairman in the event that he goes ahead to issue out the guideline without the input of the political parties and without removing the obnoxious clauses which may ruin free and fair election. The parties have also concluded plans to pass a vote of no confidence on the INEC chairman and the commission including a call for mass protest to alert Nigerians that the 2019 election processes have been manipulated.
Short News Don’t fall for Ortom’s deceptive campaign, Presidency tells Benue people Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Presidency has advised the people of Benue State not to fall for Ortom’s deception and allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the negative campaign embarked upon by Governor Samuel Orton to discredit President Muhammadu Buhari as a way of convincing the people to vote him for a second term despite his failure to pay workers’ salaries and pensions. The presidency also called on governor Ortom to desist from basing his campaign for re-election on falsehoods concerning President Buhari and instead focus on the dire issues confronting the State. Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu stated this on Sunday, saying, “Governor Ortom’s campaign is clearly one designed to stir division and hatred, and to divert the people’s attention from his inability to pay staff salaries and pensions for several months.” According to Shehu, it has been noted that the governor has been visiting churches in the state where he falsely tells congregations about President Buhari’s so-called plans to Islamise Benue State. “This nonsense has formed the basis of his campaign, because he has nothing to offer Benue people”, the presidential spokesman noted. He said, “The allegations coming from Ortom were particularly unfair, when one considers how much support the governor received from the Federal Government, which supported his grazing laws as a means to end the farmerherder crises that have plagued the state.

Retirees groans over non payment of entitlements in A’ Ibom Isaac Job, Uyo Retired Primary School teachers and next of kin of their dead colleagues at the weekend staged a protest March in Uyo, and later gathered at government House to registered their grievances against the state government for non payment of their gratuity, pension arrears and other benefits even to dependants of their dead colleagues. The protesters numbering over 2,000 retires including next of kin of departed colleagues carried placards with inscriptions such as, “Udom pay us our entitlements,’ our gratuity, “pension arrears and death gratuity to next of kin, 7.5% contributing pension money deducted from salaries are not refunded to us as was agreed to be refunded at retirement,” “is it wrong for us to be a teacher”?, “Governor
Udom who taught you? Is it not teachers”? “Before you become what you are today, is not a teacher”? Etc. Some of the placards were directed to the governor such as “His Excellency Udom Emmanuel, you forgot that your father was a teacher and is one of us,” “don’t disregard teachers, nor treat us this way.” In an interview, the Chairman of Akwa Ibom retired Primary School teachers Rev. Felix Ime cookey, said that since government is continuity the retired primary school teachers are owned gratuity since 2010 till date, pension arrears are owned ranging from ten (10) months and above, death gratuity are not paid to the next of kin since 1991 till date. 7.5% contributing pension money deducted from their salaries are not refunded to us as agreed to be refunded at the retirement Speaking further, Cookey recalled that in attempt to pay this money, there have
been series of screening upon screening, verification upon verification, submission of Bank Statement time without number and all manner of documentation all to no avail. “We are tired and we are very hungry and our families are suffering” the last pension we received was for the month of October 2018 uptill now nothing is forth coming, no money for new year for our children, school has resume, Udom did not boarder what we pass through during the festive period cookey notes., Cookey said that the peaceful protest became necessary because after series of meetings with the state government and with the head of Civil Service some years ago, We were asked to wait that the state government will forward their list to facilitate payment through bank and till now nothing has been done in that direction.
The immediate past Deputy Governor and Ambassador to South Africa, Ahmed Musa Ibeto has returned to the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC). Ibeto had earlier decamped to contest the Niger state governorship under the banner of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). However he lost to the youthful former Environment commissioner in the state, Mohammed Umar Nasko. The former Ambassador led the pack of other governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who lost in the same PDP primaries, to rejoin the APC last Saturday at the flag off of the party’s gubernatorial campaign. Among the defectors include Alhaji Mohammed Baka, Alhaji Hannafi Sudan and Alhaji Dogo Koli, all were aspirants in the PDP governorship primaries. Ibeto had resigned his appointment as the Ambassador to South Africa and defected to the PDP to contest for the governorship candidature but lost to Honorable Umar Nasko.

He was suspended by the party over abscondment from his office for over six months, as PDP Deputy National chairman. The PDP publicity Secretary said, “Gamawa was once a deputy governor in Bauchi State, and this APC government is fond of intimidating people who held power even as local government chairman.

Nigeria’s politics of thugery and two-facedness
Ademola Adeoye
There is no political party (either dead or alive) in Nigeria that does not make use of thugs to either get to power or remain in power and it did not start in 1999! Those who understand where we are coming from can identify with the dirty-issue I am raising here. As long as the politics of thugery continues to breathe in our polity, we would never be able to have a decent and progressive country. Gangsters and brutes were used by the Administration that passed the baton of leadership to the current Administration. Back then, a thug was able to build a Higher Institution and other ruffians were able to access the kind of money and power that professors can never touch till they pass on in Nigeria. This is one of the major reasons our educated minds are leaving our varied places of learning, because it is obvious that we do not value knowledge in Nigeria. Also, our nation has been structured in way that makes it almost impossible for law-abiding citizens to blossom as thugs are thriving. Last year, a fellow-citizen told me that a gangster—who was declared wanted is still being protected. And a few days ago, I heard that a political-thug, being heavily protected—was attacked in Lagos at a political meeting, but prior to that time, same ruffian was declared wanted—as an effect of some killings that took place in the state some months ago. And since he was rushed to the hospital, I am told Governors
have been going there to check in on him. This is the kind of society that our political leaders are deliberately building. Take for instance, in Lagos, when a Governor takes over power, he comes up with laws, bringing about order in the State, but when the gubernatorial election is around the corner, those laws would be deliberately suspended, because he’d need thugs and gangsters to retain power. It is the same problem from Kano to Kaduna, from Sokoto to Osun, from Kogi to Oyo and from Ekiti to Yobe. At this moment in Lagos, there is no semblance of governance! “Okadas” are back everywhere and Lagos has now probably become the dirtiest State on earth! The reason intelligent and creative minds are deliberately not coming into the realm of politics in Nigeria is because they are afraid of being killed by thugs as those who were murdered ahead of them and till today, those who killed them are still unknown and nameless. Nigeria is still a jungle and times of elections always reveal to the whole world—our not being ready to build a nation that works. When someone—who consistently says he is a man of integrity and equally says he has come to fight corruption, talks, condemning sixteen (16) years of the PDP’s misrule, now romances those who were in the forefront during those sixteen (16) years, it sends the wrong signals to those who have not lost their minds to
politics. When same man dances and sings to welcome corrupt people who are influential—from the political party he daily condemns, he is by the same token sending the wrong signals to our children and I doubt if the history will be kind to him. The question on the lips of every right thinking Nigerian for PMB is: how can you be fighting corruption and still be working with corrupt people? Love for power makes politicians do ridiculous and unthinkable things! Taking this national-issue a little further, it is important to let you know that definitions definitely do change during elections. Good does become bad and corrupt folks automatically do become clean folks. Also, thugs do become men of high-value. Why? It is because politics is a game of number. In Nigeria of today, no man of integrity will either get to power or retain power without working with corrupt people! If there is anything PMB has achieved since he became the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he has succeeded in redefining integrity. Integrity has lost its true meaning under his watch! Each time politicians speak, I want to first of all know why they speak and where they are when they speak. There is no truth in the mouth of professional politicians! They speak to deceive—the unwary and gullible citizens of Nigeria. When they wanted to send GEJ back to his village, OBJ and Atiku were great men, who loved
Nigeria, but now that they are working together to send PMB (Tinubu’s client) back to Daura, they have become bad men—who do not love Nigeria. Politics, as it is being played today is about varied selfish interests, not about the poor man, who day by day walks the dusty-streets of Nigeria. The most mind-boggling thing is that countless number of our citizens; are daily running with their lies. Some hours ago, some Yoruba kings went to identify with Tinubu, being the one who is leading the move to keep PMB in Aso-Rock for four (4) more years. While they were with him in the FCT, BAT said and I quote verbatim about Alhaji Atiku Abubakar: “Atiku was vice-president of this country when the local government allocation for Lagos-State was seized. When we led a protest to Atiku then, he said go away. Go and comply…They (OBJ and Atiku) were taking away 250 million from our allocation every month for being innovative and creative. Everywhere we turn; they rejected us and punished us. But we never gave up.” But some years back, Tinubu did not tell us all he is saying now—when he needed OBJ and Atiku to defeat GEJ. This is the duplicitous politics they are playing in Nigeria. It is the kind of politics that is devoid of values. On the condition that OBJ decides to move to their camp at present, Tinubu would change what he says about him and roll our drums to celebrate him.
Onslaught on judiciary: Nigerians must rise up to defend democracy
Mike Ozekhome
A strong judiciary is one of the irreducible fundamental platforms for any meaningful constitutional democracy. If you terrorise, intimidate, harass and humiliate the judiciary, using strong hand and brute force, it is a stage set for bidding democracy farewell. The president Buhari government has been very intolerant of any credible dissenting voice in the country. From the crude break in and invasion of judges houses in October 2018, by masked DSS operatives, to the horrific siege laid on the NASS and the residences of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Dr Ike Ekweremadu, it is clear that this government, which protects its own members, however corrupt and despicable, has blown into full maximum dictatorship, totalitarianism and absolutism. Nigerians must say no to fascism. The latest onslaught is against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, a man of great nobility, erudition and lucidity of thought. It has come to light that the government has hurriedly filed charges against Onnoghen, even with a motion (most curiously and unusually), that he should recuse himself from his Chief Justice-ship until the case filed against him is finally determined by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). This is to force him out of office. The phoney and ridiculous charges are that Onnoghen failed to declare his assets, and that he also maintains domiciliary accounts, contrary to the provisions of the Code of Conduct Bureau Act. It is clear to any objective observer that the charges are highly political, and designed to intimidate the Judiciary ahead of the 2019 presidential election and force out Onnoghen, who, as the CJN, will constitute the Presidential Election Tribunal that will entertain disputes arising from the presidential election. Many facts bear this simple deduction out. The petitioner, an NGO, actually committed the freudian slip by anchoring its petition on bearing in mind the imminence of the 2019 general elections and the overwhelming role of the judicial arm both before and after. The second fact is that even after recommendation of Onnoghen as CJN by the NJC on 13th October, 2016, it took VP Osibanjo the courage to appoint him as CJN on 1st March, 2017, after protests and outcry by overwhelming majority of Nigerians, and at a time PMB was actually abroad on medical vacation. Three, Onnoghen became the first Southerner to be made CJN in 30
years, after the last Southerner, Justice Ayo Irikefe, occupied that exalted office in 1987. Four, Onnoghen has been CJN for well over a year. How come the Executive suddenly woke up from a deep slumber and discovered his operation of domiciliary accounts years before he was appointed CJN, which accounts, according to the petition, had been in existence since 2011, a period during which the CJN had already been a Justice of the Supreme Court since 2005? When have Nigerian security agencies optimised and displayed such efficiency that a petition written by an NGO on 7th January, 2019, received by CCB on 9th January, 2019, was acted upon with such automatic alacrity that by 11th January, 2019, charges had been filed against Onnoghen. And wait for it, he will be arraigned on Monday, 14th January, 2019, all within one week! What of the provisions of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Act, which prescribes certain necessary steps that must be taken before a charge is filed? STATUTORY DUTY OF THE CCB TO FULFIL A CONDITION PRECEDENT BEFORE ARRANGEMENT. It is apposite to state here that, the CCT shall not have jurisdiction to try a suspect until a fundamental condition precedent is first met. The condition precedent is provided for in the proviso to Section (3) (d) of the CCBT Act, which provides as follows: 3 The functions of the Bureau shall be to(d) receive complaints about noncompliance with or breach of this Act and where the Bureau considers it necessary to do so, refer such complaints to the Code of Conduct Tribunal established by section 20 of this Act in accordance with the provisions of sections 20 to 25 of this Act. Provided that where the person concerned makes a written admission of such breach or non-compliance, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. Consequent upon the above provisions, it is a condition precedent to first invite the alleged offender to either make or refuse to make a written admission of the concompliance. This must be satisfied to cloth the CCT with requisite jurisdiction to try such offender. This provision was tested when Bola Tinubu, former Governor of Lagos State, sometimes in November, 2011, was charged before the CCT for operating foreign accounts between 1999 to 2007. The case was dismissed, mainly because, aside from the fact that
the charges were defective and shoddy, the accused had not been invited or confronted with the complaints, and was consequently not afforded the opportunity of admitting in writing, any non-compliance, which ordinarily robbed the CCT of its jurisdiction to try him. I see the same scenario playing out in the Onnoghen case, on the issue of jurisdiction. The position of the law is that a suspect must first be confronted with the allegations by the CCB and be given an opportunity to reply them. Facts available in the public domain are that an NGO petitioned against the CJN on 7th January, 2019, and same was received by the CCB two days later, on 9th January, 2019. By 11th January, 2019, charges had been filed and arraignment is to be made on the 14th January, 2019. Everything thus took place in one week! When did prosecutorial agencies in Nigeria become so efficient as to accomplish this 8th wonder of the world within such a short time? More significantly is the case of Ngajiwa vs FRN (2017) LPELR-43391(CA), where the Appellate Court held that sections 153(1) (i) (2), 271 (1), 292(1) (a) (ii) and Paragraph 21 of Part 1 of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution, must be read together to mean that any judicial officer accused of an offence must first be subjected to investigation and disciplinary action by the National Judicial Council (NJC). It is after this that such a judicial officer can be arraigned in court. It is obvious that this fundamental step that can cloth the CCT with jurisdiction has been ignored by an Executive too much in a hurry to intimidate Onnoghen and undo the judiciary, having unsuccessfully intimidated the Legislature (NASS). The last time I checked, the criminal justice system in Nigeria is Anglo-Saxon based, making it accusatorial. This means the innocence of an accused person is presumed. It is different from the inquisitorial French model where the guilt of an accused is presumed. Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution has carefully enacted this and given it constitutional imprimatur. The most shocking aspect is that the NBA and Nigerian lawyers that should serve as conscience of the nation are silent on these acts of constitutional hara-kiri capable of derailing our hard won democracy. Unknown to these hawks in government, the CJN can never, by a mere motion filed before the CCT, be forced out of office, or be compelled to recuse himself as CJN. This is clearly settled by the provisions of section 292 (1) of the 1999 Constitution which state that the CJN can
only be removed from office by the president acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority votes of the Senate. Will the Senate be brow-beaten to accede to this diabolical machination? I think not. This onslaught is to finally cow and annihilate the Judiciary, the last hope of the common people. Nigerians now appear to live in bondage of dictatorship and absolutism. Citizens now talk in whispers, afraid of even their shadows. Only those who support the government, however corrupt, find peace. Like Naaman the leper, who was deeped into River Jordan seven times and became cleansed of his leprosy, all that a corrupt politician needs to do to be washed clean of his political leprosy (as white as snow), is to decamp to the ruling APC. He would be embraced immediately, given a front pew, inducted into the hall of fame, and put in charge of leading Buharis presidential campaign. Some Nigerians are still playing the Ostrich in the full glare of this clear and present danger, behaving like the “Chichidodo” bird talked about by the Ghanaian author, Ayi Kwei Armah, in his epic novel, The beautiful ones are not yet born. The bird hates human faeces, but paradoxically feeds on maggots that wriggle out of such excreta. Some people are bent on breaking up Nigeria. First, it was a selected class of Judges, then SANs, then NASS, then Media, then NBA President, and now the entire Judiciary. Impunity now reigns supreme, strutting about proudly like a peacock. But, these historical revisionists must be reminded of the immortal words of Martin Niemoller, a German Theologian and Lutheran Pastor, who opposed the Nazi regime in the 1930s: “First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist; Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me”. Nigerians, gird your loins and defend our hard won democracy. Judiciary, close down all courts of law across Nigeria until this blatant mischief and madness against the Judiciary are removed. This government should at least leave Nigerians in peace, if it cannot provide them with good, responsible and accountable governance.

Editorial Commentary FG v. CJN Onnoghen: A very grave and unprecedented arraignment
Times Guest Columnist Jiti Ogunye
Our attention has been drawn to the trending news that the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen has been charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, based on a petition submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau on Wednesday the 9th of January, 2019, and is to be arraigned before the Tribunal on Monday , the 14th January, 2019. The prosecutorial decision that has been taken by the Executive Branch of Government ( FGN / FRN) is a very grave one. It is unprecedented in the political history of Nigeria. Let us go down memory lane. During the blistering General Murtala Muhammed Military Regime, in 1975, there were massive purges in the Judiciary as well as in the public service. Many public servants were removed “ with immediate effect” . During the purges , a sitting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Chief Justice Teslim Olawale Elias was removed as the CJN. But he was not subjected to a criminal trial. He later went on to serve as the President of the World Court. In the life of the Buhari Presidency, the leadership of the National Assembly, the First arm of government , has been subjected to, at least, two criminal trials( Senate Rules forgery case and CCT False Asset Declaration Case). Following those charges and trial is now this charge and planned arraignment of a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria, the head of the Judiciary , the third arm of government. Being a weighty issue, therefore , one would have imagined that the decision to put the CJN on trial with frenetic speed , following the petition against the CJN, was weighed very carefully. The general election is 35 days away. The CJN, the Supreme Court and the NJC will play certain statutory roles, post the elections. And even as these events unfold, these judicial authorities are playing some adjudicatory and administrative roles regarding the determination of pre-election matters ( appeals ) arising from contentious party primaries. The CJN is also the head of the Judiciary. Putting him on trial while he is in office, certainly, will impact the Nigerian Judiciary negatively. The portrayal here inevitably will be that the Nigerian Judiciary is so corrupt that its head is put on trial. This depiction is not fair to many judicial officers whose integrity is solid and who are free of corrupt practices. The CJN is, in the eye of the law, presumed innocent, until he is proved and found guilty. Being charged at all, however, implicates his right to fair hearing, as many will start arguing that he should step down from office. In other words, once charged and arraigned , the likelihood is that calls will be made for him to vacate office , albeit temporarily, for integrity reasons. If, in the end, he is found not guilty, irreparable damage would have been done to his reputation and the integrity of the Judiciary. The most important reason why the CJN ought not to have been charged before
the CCT, let alone being prepared for arraignment is because the charge is illegal and unconstitutional. In NGANJIWA V. F. R.N, 2018, 4NWLR, Part 1609, Page 301, at page 339, para. G-page 352, para. E, the Court of Appeal ( Lagos Division) held that no serving judge in Nigeria can be investigated or tried in a court of law , without first being removed from the Bench. A petition first must have been written against the judge , and he must have faced an administrative disciplinary process of the NJC for an alleged violation of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, found guilty, recommended, by the NJC,for removal from office , and removed from office by the Executive arm of government. In short , only dismissed judicial officers can be investigated and prosecuted by the anti corruption agencies . That decision is being appealed by the EFCC at the Supreme Court . The position we took when that decision was handed down was that the judgment had no constitutional basis . Judges, ( unlike the President, Vice President, Governor and Deputy Governor) enjoys no immunity from against investigation , arrest and prosecution, while they are in service. They do not enjoy executive immunity , and are not covered by Section 308 of the Constitution. The Court, therefore, cannot grant to the judiciary an immunity the Constitution does not vest in it. The concept of judicial immunity only covers the exercise of the judicial powers of a judge and his jurisdiction. No civil action or criminal action may be taken against him in respect of his judicial work or decisions , but he is not shielded from criminal culpability if he commits a criminal offence while he is in office . The NGANJIWA Decision, however, remains the law in Nigeria today. Nigeria is a constitutional democracy under the rule of law. By virtue of Section 287 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, the judgment is binding on all authorities and persons in Nigeria , including the Executive Branch of Government at the “ Federal “ level , the Office of the Attorney- General of the Federation, the CCB and CCT. We support the fight against corruption in the public sector and in the Judiciary in particular. But this fight must be done in scrupulous conformity with the rule of law . In the light of the foregoing , we call on the President of Nigeria to direct that the charges filed against the CJN be withdrawn forthwith for its incompetence, even as the Administration continues to explore other legitimate and constitutional means to continue its fight against corrupt practices in our public life . The allegations against the CJN may be grave , but justice cannot be served by resorting to patent illegalities.
OUR POSITION
Panel and power of prosecution
A
s political campaigns for the series of elections for the long awaited year 2019 begin today, Nigerians are about to witness another round of political fireworks and brickbats, as politicians put final touches to their roadmap to grabbing political power in the new year. Already political brick bats have started flying across the political divide as politicians and political jobbers try to outdo themselves either to gain political advantage or to help the candidate of their interest gain advantage over others. Some political party leaders have also thrown themselves into the fray, with the intention of either impugning the character of the opposition political leaders so that the electorates will not see the platform as a credible platform and the candidate not reliable. This development is already sending ripples across the land and threatening to throw up the kind of bitterness that may not augur well for the polity. For example, recently a video emerged of the Kano State Governor Abdulahi Ganduje allegedly collecting a bribe of $5million from contractors in the state, an allegation that the governor has denied. The interesting part of the scandal is that the video was posted by a journalist, Jaafar Jaafar, the publisher of an online news medium, DailyNigerian. Jafar is said to be a former aide of the former governor of the state, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso who has been having a running battle with Ganduje over the political control of the state, therefore many have reasoned that if Jafar, a former aide of Kwankwaso is releasing a scandal video of the governor at a time Ganduje is having a running battle with his former principal, Kwankwaso, it stands to reason that there is a political undertone which may not augur well for the state and the entire political system. This is especially more intriguing because the said video was about two years old and now surfacing few months to Ganduje’e second term bid. Now that Ganduje has sued Jafar for defamation of character, it is clear that this bitterness may be taken into the election. Another development that calls for concern in this period of campaign is the running battle that the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole is having with some governors in his party who are angry that they are not able to have their way during the election. Now, the battle has crossed party line, as the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has thrown a jab at Oshiomhole, telling him that because of the accusations that his party members are throwing at him, he is no longer fit to lead his party. But Oshiomhole has also thrown his jab, telling Saraki that he is a disgrace to Nigeria’s democracy. Oshiomhole who spoke in reaction to Saraki’s earlier statement, said it was pathetic and irresponsible that the Senate president would resort to ‘petty politics’. He added that Saraki had no moral ground to call for his resignation as the APC national chairman. The APC chairman threatened to sue Saraki if he failed to provide evidence that he actually took
bribes from aspirants. While it is granted that at a time like this politicians must work towards using every opportunity to have an edge over others, there is the need to be conscious of whatever they do at a time like this and understand that if indeed their intention is to do that which will be for the benefit of the people, caution must be the watchword. Politicians must also try their best to play politics by the rule, with the understanding that when they malign anyone there are always consequences which may not end the way anyone can determine or predict. While we call on politicians to stick to issues as they transverse the land campaigning about their plans for the people, it is also important to tell them to make realisable promises and avoid issues that will impugn on the character of other aspirants. We will also like to advise the electorates to be circumspect at a time like this and not be taken in by every promise whether realisable or not, knowing that after election, reality beckons. While it will be difficult to tell electorates not to take money from politicians, it is important to warn that for every vote you sell, you have purchased hardship for the next four years. We are of the opinion that this is a time that the electorates should be wise and not allow themselves to be deceived by any smooth talking politician eager to gain political advantage, and ponder over the fact that those who made promises in the past, failed to fulfill a better part of those promises and not allow themselves to be deceived again.

Gov Emmanuel to commence Ibom Deep Seaport operations in 2021 Isaac Job, Uyo
In continuation of industrialisation drive, the Akwa Ibom State government has assured that the Ibom Deep Seaport will begin operations in 2021. Chairman of Technical Committee on Ibom Deep Seaport (IDSP) Mrs Mfon Usoro said yesterday in Uyo that the procurement processes for the operators of the seaport have been completed with a consortium of Bollore` group plus Power China to run the operations. She said the consortium is well-renowned in the operations of ports and terminals and have experience in Africa, adding that the government has commenced operations with the consortium on the Public Private Partnership agreement. She mentioned that the committee on the Ibom Deep Sea Port, Ministry of Transport, Nigeria Ports Authority and the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) have set up an aggressive timetable to produce a draft document required for the project to be approved by the Federal government. She stated that in six months time, all necessary agreements and documents for
the commencement of the seaport will be finalised and sent to the Federal government for approval. Usoro explained that the project team is working hard to eliminate possible delays that would pose a challenge to the take-off of the project to beat competition from other countries. She however warned that if the country does not take advantage of the traffic that the establishment of the seaport would attract to Nigeria by eliminating delays to the project, it may be lost to other countries in the region. Mrs Usoro commended the state government for demonstrating commitment to make the project a reality, assuring that it has so far invested huge funds into the project. “The Ibom deep seaport project has already come out of the pipeline to the extent that a preferred bidder has emerged from the procurement process that we started in 2017. “The preferred bidder is an international, well-renowned, experienced port and terminal operator, that is the Bollore` group plus Power China came together to form a consortium. We have covered the market because they have the experience in Africa and own a lot of ports. “The goal of our establishing a hub port
is getting to reality; with the procurement having brought up a preferred bidder, it is hoped that in 2021, the port will be operational. Right now, we have commenced operations with the preferred bidder on the PPP agreement. “The major challenge that we face and anticipate is delay in the processes but happily we have a project team that understands that delay is not in the interest of our project because we have other competing deep sea port projects in the region. “If Nigeria delays, then the traffic will be taken by other deep seaports in the region like in Togo, Ghana, Cote d’ivoire and Cameroon. So the project team on the public authority aspect understands that the delay we anticipated should not happen. “That is why we have all agreed and adopted an aggressive, very optimistic timelines. Apart from that delay which imparts on the commercial indices of the business itself, we don’t anticipate any major, deal breaking obstacle. “2021 is the date that we have agreed that the port goes operational and we are going to complete all the agreement in the next six months and obtain the Federal government approval,” she said.

Armed Forces have destroyed Boko Haram’s backbone - Osinbajo Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the Nigerian military has in the past few years shown patriotism at its highest and the valiant men have destroyed the backbone of Boko Haram who once attacked Abuja, Kano and Kaduna, with impunity and hoisted their tattered flags over 17 Local Governments in the North East of the country. Osinbajo made the remarks on Sunday at the Interdenominational Church Service for 2019 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja. The Vice President said: “Today, both Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa operate as small, even if deadly guerilla bands, in parts of Borno State. “But in these battles, we have been sharply reminded that indeed “freedom is not free”. That peace is often paid for with blood and gore. And that no nation can secure its territory without the selflessness and the supreme sacrifices of many. “And truly as someone said: “Our flag does not
fly because the wind moves it, it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. “Today, again we participate in an annual tradition of remembering and honouring our departed military heroes. This particular Remembrance Day is perhaps more poignant than any other,” Osinbajo said. He, however, lamented that in the past few weeks, the nation had buried 13 soldiers and one officer, adding that, just last week, 2 Air force pilots and 3 airmen died in battle fending off Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa terrorists in the Northeast of Nigeria. The number two citizen appealed that as the nation celebrates this Remembrance Day, “we solemnly thank the Almighty God for giving us men and women ready to obey the call to fight and if need be, die for the fatherland. “We are grateful that they were faithful to the cause, that they did not betray the trust of millions, that they gave up all the comforts of life and the love and affection of family that we may enjoy the same.
“Our posthumous thanks to them and their families, who not only bore the fearful apprehension of their going to war, but also the heartbreak of their deaths. But our gratitude must also mean a commitment to ensuring that their families are cared for, that their children do not ask why the sacrifices they made were made at all. “As important is to ensure that they did not die in vain, this unity and territorial integrity of the nation, for which they died, must not be jeopardized by the reckless utterances and actions, which play on the religious and ethnic fault lines of our Nation,” Osinbajo added. Osinbajo observed that the ordinary people of Nigeria have demonstrated time and time again, that they share common problems and that they have a common destiny. He said that the desire for food, shelter, clothing and decent jobs is not blinkered by tribe, tongue or faith, saying, “Our unity and peaceful co-existence is the best tribute to our fallen heroes.”

Short News Atiku to facilitate new SME venture capital fund, revamp 24m businesses Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO) said the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has perfected templates for massive job creation and business opportunities for Nigerians immediately he is elected into office as President. The strategic template will also revamp about 24 million businesses crippled by the Buhari Presidency and put millions of Nigerians, who had lost their jobs under the present administration back to work. According to Kola Ologbondiyan, Director of Media and Publicity of PPCO, the template is predicated on Atiku Abubakar’s staunch confidence in Nigerians as hard working people, with immense potentials to thrive in all fields of endeavour, given the right opportunity and conducive business environment. “Part of the initiative, as already laid out in Atiku Abubakar’s economy recovery plan, is to facilitate the establishment of a Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Venture Capital Fund, which in collaboration with the private sector will provide longer-term capital for targeted small firms across the states of the federation in various sectors of our economy. “This initiative by Atiku Abubakar will attract a minimum of N90 billion ($250 million) of direct private sector funding for Nigerians in small and medium businesses with strategic windows for increased production and grin various sectors of the economy. “This is in addition to a Financial Innovation Fund, with which Atiku Abubakar targets to incenticize commercial, micro-finance banks and other financial institutions for innovative solutions for credit to hard working Nigerians in small and medium businesses across our country. “To ensure a seamless system, the plan articulates the establishment of a platform “for de-risking SME lending and increasing the SMEs funding window from N200 billion to N500 billion, as well as simplify the collateral registration process to unlock much needed finance for SMEs. “This is in addition to the plan to reform and re-introduce the Small-scale Industries and Graduate Loan Guarantee, as well as the SmallScale Industrial Credit Scheme among others to reduce stress on beneficiary businesses to thrive”, he said. According to him, this critical focus on the SMEs, where a greater population of Nigerians engage in various sectors, captures Atiku Abubakar’s plan to ensure rapid stimulation of the economy at the base, as well as accelerate the growth of the real sector of the economy to open up self and wage-paying job opportunities. This pathway conceptualised by Atiku Abubakar, in his policy document, he said, will “give rise to new jobs in commercialized agriculture, manufacturing, ICT, construction and operation of infrastructure (including transportation; electricity, water supply and sewerage, real estate and telecommunications), as well as growth in financial services”. The PPCO therefore urged Nigerians to continue rallying with the PDP in our collective quest to use the February Presidential election to end the Buhari misrule and vote in Atiku Abubakar as the next President to return our nation to the path of national cohesion and economic prosperity

Randy lover girl sets house ablaze, escapes with N1m Isaac Job, Uyo
Tragedy struck the family of Bassey Akpan Udo in Ekom Iman Village in the outskirt of Uyo metropolis as a lady believed to be his son fiancée burnt down the house and disappeared with one million naira cash last weekend. The fire was however quenched through the assistance of concerned neighbours who rushed to the scene in response to wailings of other tenants in the building. Narrating his ordeal to our correspondent in Uyo weekend, the landlord Bassey Akpan Udo, a farmer, blamed the fire incident on the son’s fiancé who left the house immediately before the inferno occurred at about 7.pm on the fateful day. “In fact I was alerted to the fire incident by my grandson, Matthew who reported when the smoke started booming out immediately after Veronica left the house with her luggage to a waiting commercial motorcyclist.’ He said he suspected something has happened if Veronica had come and left immediately without her usual greeting to him. He then alerted the neighbours who help to put out the fire, until the father called his son
from the church and went to his room having seen his room razed down by fire. His father then narrated what happened while he (Ubong) was away to the church – and he (Ubong) suspected that Veronica has escaped with his N1 million and set his room ablaze. Ubong who was speaking amidst tears explained that the money was given to him by his father to establish a welding workshop anywhere in the town and confirmed that the money was given in the presence of family members including the fiancée identified as Veronica Emmanuel Akpan. The victim further explained that both of them were in love affairs for two years before his heart- throb brought calamities to the family last weekend. Continuing, Ubong disclosed that after the family meeting where the cash was given to him, Veronica approached requesting that part of the money be given to her to boost her business at the community market known as Okpo-okpo market. Ubong maintained that he never objected to her request as he assured Veronica to wait until the workshop be established first and the balance would be given to her in a short time. He said, Veronica’s countenance suddenly changed unknown to him that his lover had
another secret plans having known where the money was kept. Lamenting, Ubong said he never envisaged that his lover could go that extent of running away with his money. He regretted the effort of his father at developing him to that level, adding that “my father had already bought 6.5KVA Leister Engine for me to use for the welding work in the workshop he was about to establish for me”. In an interview, Ubong said his lover hails from Odoro Ikpe in Ini Local Government Area of the state. Counting his loses, the landlord lamented that the inferno has destroyed the building with cracks due to severe burns that would cost him fresh renovation. He solicited assistance from individuals, groups and organisations to come to his aid while appealing to members of the public to give useful information that could help the police to arrest the culprit as handsome reward awaits such persons. In a telephone interview, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Odiko Maccdon said, he was not aware of the incident as it was not reported to the station, and urged the victim to lodge the matter at the nearest police station for immediate investigation.
Lai Mohammed uninformed about governance in Kwara – KWSG Kehind Akinpelu, Ilorin The Kwara State government says the Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s recent pronouncements on governance in Kwara State are at variance with the reality on the ground. In a response to statements by the Minister containing unsupported claims about governance in the State, the Kwara State government contradicted the image of stagnation painted by Alhaji Mohammed, maintaining that the state has recorded commendable strides. “Kwara State has made visible incremental progress in the years referred to by Alhaji Mohammed. For example, since 2003, under the administration of former Governor Bukola Saraki and as upscaled by the current administration of Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, Kwara State has overcome its position as a civil service-driven state and is now a major frontier of growth in the north central region. The growth cuts across all sectors of our economy and includes successful reforms in health insurance, agriculture, energy, revenue generation, infrastructure development and funding which several states across the country continue to understudy and adopt. These reforms have the added distinction of earning Kwara State national and international acclaim in addition to vastly improving the lives of the people”.
We made N50bn from tourism in December 2018 - Steve Ayorinde Benjamin Omoike, Lagos For the second year in a row, the Lagos state economy received a major, unprecedented boost in the entertainment, hospitality and creative sectors in four weeks of the yuletide season, Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, disclosed over the weekend. Trends and reports monitored by the Lagos State Government over the four weeks in December, especially during Christmas and New Year festivities, captured an estimated spending well above N50 billion in cash transactions, a record slightly higher than December 2017 which also recorded a good run in travel, entertainment and leisure-related spending.

In a press statement he signed, Ayorinde said various reports, statistics and analyses monitored across immigration office, banks, aviation, hospitality and leisure parks; food, beverage and distribution businesses as well as event venues, shopping malls and cinema box office earnings captured an estimated direct spending of over N50bn within the entertainment and tourism sector in Lagos State alone.

Dogara, others reject INEC’s attempt Short News to relocate collation centre Kidnapped Taraba UMCN Henry Omunu, Abuja
House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara and other candidates in the February 19 National Assembly election have opposed plans by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to relocate the collation centre for the Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency of Bauchi state. This position was contained in a statement issued by Turaki Hassan, the media aide to Dogara. According to Turaki, the speaker who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer in conjunction with the candidates of other parties in the election rejected moves by the INEC to relocate the constituency collation centre from Zwali to Dass just weeks to the elections. He asserted that the latest moves by INEC is fueling speculations that it is a plot to cause crisis in the area to pave way for rigging in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Turaki disclosed that the candidates have subsequently, petitioned INEC after a joint meeting held in Tafawa Balewa Local Government, Bauchi state at the weekend. The parties, the statement added, strongly rejected the proposal tabled by INEC to move the constituency collation centre from Zwall in Tafawa Balewa Local Government to Dass or any other place. The speaker’s aide said that Zwall was chosen as the new collation centre in March 2015 few days to the 2015 general elections on the recommendations of the federal government for security reasons and that an Abuja Federal High Court had on March 23, 2015, ordered that the collation centre remain in Zwall. “Any attempt by INEC to move the collation centre will contradict the subsisting judgment of the court and could constitute contempt of court. “That all stakeholders agreed that the collation centre be cited at Zwall and should therefore remain there because it links the three council areas that make up the federal
constituency, is easily accessible and hasn’t witnessed any crisis. “Since 2015, there has been no crisis in not only Zwall but the entire federal constituency that will warrant such a sudden, ill-advised, and premeditated action by INEC which is supposed to be an unbiased and neutral umpire,” the statement stated. Dogara and the other candidates therefore, accused INEC of plotting to convene another meeting of select few just to endorse the surreptitious moves. It warned that INEC should know that the area has witnessed unprecedented peace in the last four years and should not allow itself to be used to cause crisis with this hidden agenda. “We want a peaceful, free and fair election. Consequent upon the above, we therefore totally and unequivocally oppose, reject and shall resist every attempt by INEC to move the collation centre from Zwall in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area not only to Dass but to any other location for that matter,” the statement added.

Buhari reiterates commitment to fight corruption, flags off re-election campaign in Bauchi Samuel Luka, Bauchi
President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his commitment to continue with his administration’s ongoing war against corruption in the country if re-elected as president of Nigeria in February 16 this year. The president stated this on Saturday while flagging off his 2019 re-election campaign amidst mammoth crowd who thronged the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi to witness and show their support and loyalty to his candidature. He said, “I urge you today, the people of Bauchi State to support us in our efforts to rid our country of those who want to come back to power and continue to loot our collective wealth. We will also sustain our current effort of ensuring massive food production by revamping the agricultural sector”.

Adams who said that the opposition are angry because all avenues of stealing public funds have been blocked by President Buhari added that all those who looted the country dry during sixteen years of PDP government will be brought to book. He said, “PDP is broke and want to come back to power to continue to loot, that is why they are saying that there is poverty and hunger in the land. Don’t vote for them, they just want to deceive you”. The APC national Chairman while receiving 18 decampees from other political parties to the APC said, I want to present to you these brooms, a symbol with which president Buhari is using to sweep away all the impurities in Nigeria.

former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), Alhaji Babayo Garba Gamawa amongst others. Speaking on behalf of the decampees, former Bauchi State Governor, Mallam Isah Yuguda said they have realised and identify with the laudable achievements of the APC led administration in the country under President Muhammadu Buhari. He said, “What God has destined must come to pass. We appeal to you, Mr President to forgive us our wrong doings while we were in other parties, please forgive us. From today our loyalty to you is one hundred percent “. Yuguda who promised not to forsake the president again maintained that, “we are with you and the governor as well and we will succeed by God grace”. The Campaign Director of the APC Presidential candidate, Mr Rotimi Amaichi said in a remark that Bauchi state is the traditional home of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC as such, they don’t need to campaign or solicit for votes.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has said the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris must appear before a Commission to account for all his deeds against innocent Nigerians when his pay masters leave office in few months time. The PDP said the IGP has been doing the bid of President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC), government by intimidating and harassing members of the opposition who dares to oppose the ruling party. Speaking on Saturday in Jos at the PDP presidential rally, the party’s National Chairman Hon. Uche Secondos, said the APC is also planning to kill Senator Dino Melaye. “The IGP must appear before a Commission both in Nigeria and abroad when he leaves office, to answer for all the heinous act he has done in favour of President Buhari and the APC. He must answer for what he has been doing to Senator Dino Melaye and other Nigerians who dares to speak against the APC”, Secondus said.

Obiano tasks Christians on propagation of the Gospel … As Cardinal Arinze dedicates Aguleri Church
Stories by John Ndu, Awka
Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has urged Christians to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ at all times, irrespective of circumstances. Governor Obiano said this during re-dedication of St. Joseph’s Catholic Parish, Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area. The dedication came after reconstruction of the Church by Governor Obiano. The foundation stone of the
Church was laid in 1937 by Fr. Joseph Thomas Delaney in honour of four missionaries, who worked, died and were buried in Aguleri. The building was completed and opened for use in April 1940, while Blessed Rev. Fr. Michael Iwene Tansi became the Parish Priest in 1949 before he travelled out to Rome in 1950. Obiano noted that he was spurred to undertake the reconstruction of the church as part of his quota in the dissemination of the Christian faith. He urged Christians to embrace almsgiving, love, especially rendering help to the needy as these would offer
them everlasting life. In his homily, His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Arinze, described church as an abode of God, the body of Christ as well as the people and followers of God. Cardinal Arinze observed that Christians were expected to express love to God and to one another. While commending Governor Obiano for his commitment to the service of God, he urged the people to remain peaceful and focused in serving the Almighty. Member representing Onitsha 2 in Anambra State House of Assembly,
Mr. Eddy Ibuzo, expressed satisfaction at the standard of work done in the Church. Ibuzo urged other well-meaning individuals to embrace humanitarian services and invest in building God’s projects as well as undertaking human development. He commended Governor Obiano for his initiative and dedication toward investing in the house of God. The blessing of the church and official hand-over of the church by Governor Obiano to Cardinal Arinze was part of the events to mark the event.

Atiku-Obi campaign organisation flays Gov Obiano
The Atiku-Obi presidential campaign organisation, Anambra State chapter, has decried the continuous flattery of President Muhammadu Buhari by the state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, over what they described as “the fangled development of the South East Geo-political zone. A statement by the State Director of the organisation, Dr.
Harry Oranezi, said the action of the governor amounts to a subtitle campaign for APC, and an expression of undeserved goodwill for President Buhari. Dr. Oranezi, who recalled some of the alleged injustices, inequities and discriminatory posture of the Buhari administration against the South East region, maintaining that the utterances of Governor
Obiano and few other Igbo politicians would not deter the collective resolve of Igbos to vote out the incumbent government. According to him, come February 16th presidential election, Igbos “will certainly demonstrate their preference for good governance” and the urgent need “to make Nigeria work again”.
The Governor Obianoled administration will complete all ongoing projects across the state before the end of its tenure in 2022. This assurance was given by the Director General of the State Project Management and Monitoring Office, Engineer Mike Ogbuekwe, while featuring at the News and Current Affairs audience participatory Radio and Television programme, ‘Face the Press recently. Engineer Ogbukwe enthused that despite the lean resources of the state government, signature projects such as the ongoing Cargo Airport, Umueri and the International Conference Centre, Awka as well as numerous road projects across the state would be completed on schedule. While expressing optimism that the Federal Government would eventually refund about forty three billion naira spent over the years by the Anambra State government on federal roads, the Project management and monitoring DG also expressed satisfaction with the ongoing construction of the second Niger Bridge at the Onitsha-Asaba axis. Engineer Ogbuekwe equally said that the community choose your project and execute initiative of the state government has recorded what he described as a grand success, pointing out that the impressive delivery of democracy dividends by the Obiano administration would enhance the chances of the candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the forthcoming general election in the country.

Anambra Assembly 2019: Enugu Ukwu youths endorse Okoye The maxim that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow played out at the weekend as the youths wing of Enugu Ukwu Development Union came out enmasse to decide their future political interest. The youths in their large numbers gathered at Pacos Square, Enugu Ukwu, Njikoka local government Area, Anambra State. It was gathered that the aim was to unanimously endorse their son, Akweke Francis Chidozie Okoye, for Njikoka one consituency in the state House of Assembly, for the 2019 general elections. Okoye, who accepted to represent his people, promised to enthrone legislative excellence and attract meaningful development that would reshape the future of the youths. Okoye, who is contesting under Youths Progressives Party (YPP), regretted that Enugu Ukwu had been marginalised in terms of structural development and those who should project the deplorable condition to the government were egocentric. He said: “Our Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke, is a minus to Enugu Ukwu. He is like a spare tire. He is redundant, as far as this administration is concerned. “Every community has benefited tremendously from this administration. There roads are tarred, but Enugu Ukwu remains stagnant, irrespective of the fact that Deputy Governor is from this town. “We cannot continue to be in political blackout when we have men and women endowed with political ability. “Since you people decided I should serve you, I will ensure our town is at the forefront of every distribution. “My first priority is to attract the attention of government on our roads, especially the roads leading to the express. I will attract legislative transformation. “Another agenda is the promote intellectualism among our youths. Education is dwindling and it is our collective responsibility, for the future of our youths. I will move a motion to promote education, especially basic education. “The third agenda is to create windows of opportunities for the youths. We will launch different empowerment skills for our teeming youths. We created entrepreneurial classes and make it accessible for every youths. “Let me say it clear again that I will only be in the State House of Assembly for four years. I can’t go for re-election. In the next four years, I should be 40 years, I should be going higher to offer opportunity for another youth to occupy the position. “I am not desperate. If Enugu Ukwu youths engage in proper juxtaposition of the candidates in Enugu Ukwu, coming for same position, and decide I should step down, I will support whoever emerges. But since you have decided unanimously to endorse me, I will attract unprecedented transformation.” He further stated that he would deploy his wealth of political knowledge and experience in ensuring equitable distribution of resources, in accordance to natural Justice, equity and good conscience.

Import bill reduction: Nigeria to gain N127bn from cassava flour inclusion in confectioneries-FIIRO Joy Obakeye The Federal Institute of Industrial Research Oshodi (FIIRO), has said that the country would be saving a whooping sum of N127 billion annually on the 20 per cent cassava flour inclusion in bread making. The Director General of FIIRO, Prof Gloria Elemo, who disclosed this in Lagos over the weekend, noted that the need to reduce import bill on flour led the institute to developing the recipe of cassava inclusion in bread making. Elemo said; “We have been working on how to reduce the import bill on wheat flour, and after we have tried corn, millet, guinea corn and sorghum composite flour, we found out that cassava inclusion was the best component of composite flour to produce very high quality bread. So we carried out different levels of recipe at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% respectively, and we discovered that at 20% level of cassava flour inclusion, that the quality of bread is practically not different from 100 percent wheat flour bread, because of the formulation that we have. We have a recipe that is commercially oriented, recipe that breaks even, recipe that makes profit more than when you use 100 percent wheat flour. That recipe is standardised, we have trained master bakers in the 36 states of the country and everybody is aware. “If the local content bill on 20 percent cassava flour inclusion is passed into law, Nigeria would be saving N127 billion annually in terms of conservation of foreign exchange, and would also generate close to 3million jobs annually along its value chain, ranging from the farmers that plant, transporters, suppliers, processors, distributors and others.” She disclosed that over 5000 MSEs at the capacity of between 1 – 3 tons output level per day would mean a minimum of six SMEs in the 774 local governments of the country producing cassava flour should this bill be passed into law. Professor Elemo stated that FIIRO would be receiving the sum of N1 billion from the government for winning the 2018 best research institute of the year. The DG said; “Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu declared that N1 billion would be added to the 2019 budgetary allocation of FIIRO for taking the first position. For instance, if our 2019 budgetary allocation is X naira, then, N1 billion would be added to it to become X + N1 billion. Again, for me wining the best DG awards is much desirable. For FIIRO to have emerged the best of the 17 parastatals is because of the visionary leadership at the institute. There are so many things that we have not been doing before which we are now doing and things are gradually taking shape. Our major stake holders, which are the Small, Medium and Large enterprises, are feeling our impact. “The essence of the whole thing is to discourage the import of the same technology that is manufactured or fabricated locally and to save the country the huge foreign exchange expended on import and maintenance of those foreign machineries. So they looked at all these facilities in all the institutions in terms of infrastructure, in terms of human capacity, in terms of qualifications, efficiency of human capacity. So, these formed the criteria for assessment.”

Why inflation rate may rise to 11.69% in December - Analysts Temitope Adebayo Due to higher price increase within the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages, analysts at FSDH Research have projected inflation rate of 11.69 per cent for December, against 11.28per cent recorded in November 2018. If this projection come to past, it will represents a monthly increase of 0.41per cent between the two months and the highest monthly increase since November 2016. The analysts, in their latest report explained that the expected increase in the inflation rate will reflect higher price increases within the Food and NonAlcoholic Beverages division and other non-food items due to end-of-year and festivity purchases.
The National Bureau of Statistic (NBS) is due to release the inflation rate for the month of December this week, ahead of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for 21-22 January, 2019. According to the report, the Food Price Index (FPI) report that the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) published for the month of December 2018 remained relatively the same as November 2018. “However, the World Bank has hinted about a possible increase in food prices in 2019 because of severe weather conditions. This may accelerate the inflation rate in 2019 in Nigeria. The FAO notes that the decline in the prices of dairy and sugar in December were largely offset by the increases in cereal, meat and oils.” The report indicated that the value of the Naira depreciated at the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange (NAFEX) in December 2018, while it appreciated at
the parallel market. “The value of the Naira depreciated marginally by 0.01per cent at the NAFEX market to close at N364.18/$ from N364.16/S in November, while it gained 0.14per cent in the parallel market to close at N365.00/$ from N365.50/$ in November 2018. “The value of the Naira appreciated at the parallel market as a result of newly introduced special ‘Thursday sale’ to Bureau de Change (BDCs) operators. The depreciation recorded at NAFEX between the two months under review increased the impact of foreign exchange on the prices of imported consumer goods in the domestic market. “The prices of food items that FSDH Research monitored in December 2018 moved in varying directions, leading to one per cent increase in our Food and NonAlcoholic Index. This Index increased yearon-year by 13.83per cent to 295.66 points, up
from 259.75 points recorded in December 2017. “We also observed an increase in the prices of Transport and Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels divisions between November and December 2018. We estimate that the increase in the Composite Consumer Price Index (CCPI) in December would produce an inflation rate of 11.69per cent”, they stated. Despite the expected increase in the inflation rate in December 2018 and in 2019, FSDH Research believed that the members of the MPC of the Central Bank of Nigeria would vote to hold rates at the current levels in January 2019. “The most appropriate instrument to signal tightening at the moment in the face of fragile credit and economic growth is to use open market operations (OMO) to mop up excess liquidity,” analysts at FSDH research added.
New ANLCA executive debunks imposition of sole administrator Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Newly elected officials of Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA) Chapter have said claims that a sole administrator would be appointed to run the affairs of association from Monday January 14, 2019, were false and misleading. This reaction is coming against the backdrop of an impending crisis in the association where some disgruntled elements are allegedly out to scuttle the process that has brought in the new executives. Chairman-elect of the ANLCA, Mr Temitope Pius Akindele, who spoke on this development at Lagos airport stated that there is no precendent in the association’s constitution and such rumoured misinformation should be regarded as an empty threat.
Akindele said that any person or group of persons, touting such idea is spreading mere rumour, making empty threat because any attempt to appoint a sole administration to run affairs of the association, after an election has been duly contested, won and certificate of return issued by the electoral body to the winner, is illegal because it does not have backing of the association’s constitution. The term of office of the incumbent administration of ANLCA at Murtala Muhammed Airport Chapter led by Chief Aloysius Nze Sunday, January 13, 2019 and a new administration of elected members under the leadership of Akindele is expected to take over by Monday January 14, 2019. Akindele said, “It was well-known fact that Western zone of our association was due for elections. We have nine chapters in the western zone. And the body that is charged with the responsibilities of conducting the elections is the board of trustees. The board
of trustees would appoint an Association of Electoral Commission (ASECO) to conduct the elections”. He said that ASECO called for elections as scheduled, and since he had the intention to contest elections to the office of the Chairman of Murtala Muhammed Chapter of ANCLA based on his antecedents, he obtained the form to contest the election from ASECO. The renowned clearing agent said he went through the screenings and election was held and he came out victoriously, because people voted for him. He continued, “The certificate of return was issued to me by the electoral body. The copy is with me. Successfully, election was called for, I went to contest at the election, won the election and a certificate of return was issued and presented to me. “The fact is this, there is nowhere, from section one to section thirty-three of our supreme constitution, which specifies that a
sole administrator should be appointed. The elected have to come out for elected offices. It is normal that when elections are held, there could be grievances from one person or the other. By the special grace of God, the term of office of the seated chairman will terminate on January 13, 2019. A certificate has been given to me to occupy that very seat come January 14, 2019, that is, on Monday. So there is nothing like interim or appointment of a sole administrator to run the affairs of the association at Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA) Chapter. Absolutely there is nothing of such. I am the duly elected chairman for MMA chapter of ANCLA from January 14, 2019 onward. No contention. I have not heard, learnt or witnessed any grievances anywhere against my election. It must be a rumour and there is nothing of such in our association. We don’t have issue with anybody, we are one and there is no crisis.

Dangote refinery receives equipment, begins installation Godwin Anyabe The Dangote Oil Refining Company (DORC) Ltd. has taken delivery of one of the major components of its refinery equipment, the Regenerator for the Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracker (RFCC). The Head of Quality Assurance/Quality Compliance and Construction, DORC, made this known on Sunday in Lagos, said Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is one of the most important conversion processes used in petroleum refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-boiling, high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils into more valuable gasoline, olefinic
gases, and other products. Putta said the sand filling of the site had been completed, adding that 60 per cent of the land was swampy. “The refinery equipment are coming in semi-finished shape and we will finish the assembling here at the sight. “The remaining is being manufactured in various countries, including China, India, America, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia,’’ he said. Dangote Group, Executive Director, Mr. Devakumar Edwin, said the 650,000 barrels per day refinery would stimulate economic development in Nigeria. He said the refinery was designed to process a variety of light and medium grades of crude and produce extremely
clean fuels that met Euro V specification. The executive director said usually, the sulphur in petroleum fuels resulted in vehicle exhaust emissions that had negative impact on health and environment. He said that the Dangote plant had invested in most advanced technology to produce Euro V fuel due to help Nigeria meet the European Standard of gasoline. He said the project would provide thousands of direct and indirect jobs and add value to Nigeria’s economic development, noting that the refinery would lead to significant skills transfer and technology acquisition opportunities in the country. The company has commenced the installation of equipment for the 650,000
barrels-per-day crude oil refinery being built in the Lekki area of Lagos. The refinery has continued to receive heavy equipment, through the Dangote jetty, located close to the refinery in the Lekki Free Trade Zone. It would be recalled that the jetty, constructed by Dangote Oil Refinery received its first ship of 132 metres long, 9,755 tonnes general cargo ship, last year to deliver essential equipment for the ongoing construction. The refinery is being designed to accommodate multiple grades of domestic and foreign crude and process these into high-quality gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuels that meet Euro V emissions specifications, plus polypropylene.
Edo trains entrepreneurs on how to access TEF’s $5,000, other grants Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Edo State Government has charged entrepreneurs in the state to develop bankable business plans for their enterprises to enable them access the numerous grant opportunities to scale their operations. Speaking at the training held at Idia College in Benin City, Commissioner for Wealth Creation, Cooperatives and Employment, Hon. Emmanuel Usoh, said the session
was organised as part of efforts by the state government to empower youths in the state. He urged entrepreneurial Edo youths to take advantage of the $5000 grant provided by the Tony Elumelu Foundation to scale their businesses and boost the economic fortunes of the state. He said the training will also help others access other loans and grants from development partners such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Bank of Industry, Development Bank of Nigeria, to fund their ideas.
According to him, “This programme is geared towards enlightening and informing young people on how they can access funding for small businesses. The Tony Elumelu Foundation is offering $5000 for young entrepreneurs, hence the need for the training which is aimed at teaching young people what to do and how to go about the registration process.” Earlier, Focal Person for Edo State Social Investment Programme, Ms. Osayuwamen Aledeselu, said that the event was to enable former beneficiaries of the Tony Elumelu
Foundation’s grant share information with those interested in applying for the grant in the new cycle. She added that 50 people would be selected and mentored through the process to ensure that Edo youths benefit from all the grants available, especially the Tony Elumelu Foundation grants. A former beneficiary of the TEEF grant, Mr. Osayi said it was a privilege for him to be called upon alongside a few other beneficiaries in the state to guide interested youths on how to apply and benefit from the grants.
Illegal charter operations: NCAA threatens airlines Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has threatened to wield the big stick over charter operations by unauthorised permit holders forthwith. By this, any operator caught engaging in such unauthorised services will have its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) suspended or revoked.
A statement by the NCAA said, “Consequently, the general public is hereby reminded that holders of Air Transport Licence (ATL) and Airline Operating Permit (AOP) with valid AOC are the only authorised operators to carry out Charter Operations. “This is in line with the NCAA statutory responsibilities of safeguarding the interest of the general public and that of the investors in the aviation sector.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) 2015 Part 18.2.3.1 states thus: “No person shall use any aircraft in Nigeria for hire and reward in public transport category to provide non -scheduled or charter air service unless such a person holds an ATL or Airline Operating Permit (AOP) issued by the Authority.” For the purpose of verification and authentication, the statement said the list of current holders with
appropriate authorisation to carry out Charter Operations can be found on the NCAA website. It therefore warned that any member of the public transacting business with any unauthorised operators will be doing so at a high risk as such operations may not have valid insurance cover. The Authority pledged it will continue to ensure strict compliance to Safety Regulations as violation(s) will be viewed seriously.

Stop attacks against BEDC, 46 CSOs warn Godwin Anyebe Against the backdrop of incessant hostility mounted on its operation, electricity consumers in Edo State, especially those hiding under the cover of civil rights advocacy to foist unlawful conducts, and the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, have been urged to desist from doing so fortwith or face legal actions. A group with 46 allied Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Transparency Advocacy for Development Initiative (TADI), Abuja, made this declaration at a World Press Conference addressed by its National Convener, Comrade Solomon Adodo at Abia House, Abuja last Friday. “We call on the Governor of Edo State to forthwith refrain from antagonizing BEDC Electricity Plc and instead follow relevant rules and guidelines governed by clearly cut contract terms. The issue of power distribution in Edo State should not be unnecessarily politicised,” TADI stated. “It should be made clear that all DISCOs are firmly protected by the contract terms and conditions under, which they were issued licences and it is on record that BEDC has not in any way breached such conditions” TADI said further. According to the group, “we shall resist this evil at all costs in the best interest of sustainable business practice in order not to ward of future investors and / or frustrate the gains made thus far in the power sector”. On this note, we call on the Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the Nigeria Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET) and every concerned regulator to immediately come out and clear the air on the needless controversies being stirred to cripple the BEDC under its current management. “If we do not get appropriate feedback within seven days of this notice, we shall be left with no other option but to embark on peaceful procession to these offices for the sake of sanity in our power sector”, the group stressed. TADI said that as stakeholders, the federal government has representation on the board of respective DISCOs and it is totally at its discretion to appoint whoever she deems it fit to represent her interest in the DISCOs, saying further that “it is not the DISCOs that determine who federal government appoints as her representative contrary to what some naysayers would have us believe in the case of BEDC”. It is empirical to note that the respective DISCOs can only distribute the amount of power sold to them by NBET based on the Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO) allocation allotted each DISCO. Thus contrary to wrong assertions, DISCOs are not allotted power based on what their respective states generate but as determined by NBET using the MYTO allocation system. It added. TADI disclosed that it has identified with “patriotic disenchantment the consistent, brazen and expertly contrived attempts by certain unpatriotic elements to sabotage the dexterous efforts of BEDC to supply power to Edo, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti States. These findings, according to TADI indicated that the entities have launched media and physical attacks on BEDC and primarily bent on destroying the corporate reputation of BEDC on one hand and discredit the federal government’s roadmap for power stability.

2019 is Nigeria’s opportunity to free itself from cabal, Durotoye Stories by Patrick Okohue The presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Mr. Fela Durotoye has advised Nigerian electorates to reason very well before casting their ballot in the coming poll, as it stands the opportunity they have not only to free themselves from the cabal that have taken hold of it but also give the nation a new lease of life. Durotoye said the people must wake to understand that it is time they free themselves from deprivation, the poverty, the hunger, the preventable diseases and all other forms of hardship brought upon us by those who have ruled us and held us captive for so long. The ANN presidential candidate who said these in a media chat with some select journalists in Lagos noted that he believes that this journey to a New Nigeria will be filled with Hope, Joy and Celebrations and at the upcoming elections, Nigerians would vote for their freedom and would vote for a party that is committed to their freedom, their happiness and their prosperity. “This is why I am convinced that you and millions of people just like you and I, people who are unhappy and tired of living in a country where life is just so hard and nothing seems to be working; people who believe that we are blessed enough to be a better country than we are today; all of us will come out and vote overwhelmingly for the Alliance for New Nigeria Party (ANN), the party with the logo of a lion in the 2019 Elections. “I am expectant and excited about the possibilities of a New Nigeria where there will be jobs and opportunities for all to prosper and enjoy good success. A New Nigeria with opportunities for all to pursue their happiness as they achieve great goals and lofty dreams. A New Nigeria where the son of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody because it is a Nigeria where things work for everyone. “A Nigeria where everyone is able to find fulfilling work as they make things work. A nation where every citizen lives in peace and harmony in a society protected by friendly, well trained and equipped policemen who are respectful and respectable and who inspire a sense of safety and security in everyone.” Speaking further on the freedom he wants for the nation, Durotioye said, “by freedom, I mean our freedom from the shackles of the cabals and a few people who have held us bound soon after independence. “Freedom from the terror of armed robbers, kidnappers, herdsmen, militants and the harassment and extortion from security agents, freedom from the shackles of unemployment and career stagnation. Freedom for our students to pursue an academic career without strikes, freedom for every woman and every girl to maximise her full potential without any limitations to opportunities because of her gender. “Freedom to pursue our business dreams without the
Durotoye oppression and suppression of government policies that have brought upon us economic stagnation and recession. Freedom to succeed in whatever part of the country we are in because we are Nigerians, without being marginalised or discriminated against by tribe or religion.” Durotote who was accompanied to the media chat by the National chairman of the ANN, Mr Emmanuel Dania and the Director General of the ANN Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr Lanre Oyegbola, said that the time has come for Nigerians to enthrone a government of nation builders that are committed to work for everyone and not just themselves, their families and their kinsmen. “A government filled with true leaders and not rulers; leaders who value and respect the citizens that they are there to serve and to protect. Leaders who are committed to protecting the lives, property and prosperity of every citizen and will do all that is required to improve the quality of life and the standards of living of every Nigerian in all parts of our nation. “A government that is committed to the values of Transparency, Integrity and Excellence as promoted by the Alliance for New Nigeria Party. “A truly democratic government of the people and not the cabals, for the people and not the cabals and by the people and not the cabals. A government that is committed to reducing the cost of governance by eliminating wastage and eradicating the culture of corruption that has killed our potential to grow into one of the largest economies in the world,” he said.

Lagos lawmaker, Yishawu engages 150 youths on snail farming As part of his effort to complement the Federal Government’s effort on diversification of the economy, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Gbolahan Olusegun Yishawu (GOY) representing EtiOsa constituency 2 has organised a free one-day training programme on snail farming for about 150 youths in his constituency. Speaking with newsmen at the one-day training held in his constituency office at the weekend in Lagos, Yishawu explained that the essence of organising the training is to diversity the economy from oil to Agriculture as part of the Federal Government’s agenda. According to him, “we are trying to diversity our economy from oil to agriculture and to make youths self employed.” Hon. Yishawu promised to support the best 10 students after the training and give them necessary support they need to thrive in the business, adding that its employability programme would continue even after the election. The lawmaker also made provisions for materials to all the participants that will help them in snail farming after the training. They also received certificates for participating in the training. In an interview with one of the participants, Sasera Michael, he said he appreciates the kind gesture of Hon. Yishawu on the training to him
which he said is not political, saying it is about bringing the youths in particular into limelight. “The training has motivated me to create a platform for other jobless youths. This training is not about academic qualifications, but it is about having something doing. I will also be an employer of labour with this training I have received on Snail farming,” Sasera added. On her part, Ibrahim Hauwa Mawedo, who is also a participant said she is interested in snail farming before coming to the training, saying the training served as an opening door for her to start her own business. “Whether I fall among the first 10 that would receive assistance or not, I am going to start my own snail farming immediately after the training. I appreciate the lawmaker for the training,” she added. The participants were also taught the practical aspect of snail farming and how to survive in the business. One of the instructors, Mr. Evans Timothy who encouraged unemployed youths in the country urges them to embrace green collar job. “We give the best practices locally as farming of today is different from that of old and we promote organic farming. For the unemployed youth that are interested in agriculture, we also start them up in the area of finance and the technical aspect because they need the skills.”
CACOL calls for caution, fairness over CJN non-assets declaration, money laundering scandal The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL), has called for careful consideration and caution over the various allegations of false and non-declaration of full assets and money laundering against the Chief Justice of the Federation, Walter Onnoghen as petitioned by the Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative (ARDI) at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) which has scheduled his arraignment for Monday January 14, 2019. In a press release, issued by CACOL’S Coordinator of Media and Publications, Adegboyega Otunuga on behalf of the Centre’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran, he noted, “We would recall that the whiff of allegations of corruption against the Chief Justice of the Federation CJN, has been on for sometimes, but seems to have
died down after the controversial sting operations carried out against some judges of the high court. “There is no gainsaying the fact that this is a high stake scandal or allegation, considering the CJN is the number 7 (seven) man in the order of hierarchy though we are all witnesses to the number three (3) man having been tried on same allegations of corruption in the past. “However, considering how vital and tenuous the Judiciary is as the ‘last hope of the common man’ and the CJN being the very pinnacle of such strategic arm of government, we believe that following conventional procedures and practice is required so as not to give an impression of one arm of government, undermining or blackmailing another arm.
CACOL who also took out time to explain their understanding of the case added, “It is a trite saying that nobody should be above the law and especially in this instance where a body as vital as the Judiciary is affected because, as they say, ‘If the Head is rotten, then what hope has the other parts’. We therefore expect that the Judiciary through the NJC (National Judicial Council) would have been sensitized to the enormity of these allegations and made to give its opinion on the culpability or otherwise of the CJN. “Once this is done, it then behooves on the Chief Justice of the Federation to vacate his position pending the determination of his culpability or innocence in this weighty allegations so as not to be seen to wallow in continuous desecration of his hallowed office.”

Serena Williams ready to claim first Grand Slam as a mum – Coach
Serena Williams is ready to win her first Grand Slam title as a mother, having arrived at the Australian Open in her best condition since coming back from maternity leave, according to her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Frenchman Mouratoglou, who has guided Williams to the last 10 of her 23 Grand Slam titles, felt the American great was in “decent shape” when she reached last year’s finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. However, her fitness had since gone up a notch and Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles may well be in peril at Melbourne Park, he said. “First of all, last year she made an incredible effort to come back in shape after having a baby and actually she came back in a decent shape quite fast,” Mouratoglou told Reuters in an interview. “It was a big deal. She had a lot of medical issues after the delivery but she definitely was not 100 percent. “She reached two Grand Slam finals. She was fit. “I am knowing her now for a few years
so I knew she could be much fitter but it’s just a question of time. “And I think she’s fitter now. You can see it, it’s quite obvious when you see her on the court, how she moves. “I think she came back to a very, very high level of fitness. “So she’s ready. She’s ready to compete and when Serena’s ready to compete, she’s ready to win.” While two months’ pregnant, Williams claimed a record seventh Australian Open title in the professional era in 2017 but missed out on her title defense while on maternity leave. She returned to the tour at Indian Wells in 2018 and had a roller-coaster season, forced to pull out of the French Open fourth round with a pectoral muscle injury and was later beaten by Angelique Kerber in the final at Wimbledon. She then revealed a personal battle with postpartum depression before closing her season in disappointment and acrimony, with a loss to Naomi Osaka in a U.S. Open final marred by a huge row with the chair umpire Carlos Ramos.

Seeded 16th in Melbourne, Williams warmed up for the year’s first Grand Slam by winning all three of her singles matches at the Hopman Cup in Perth. She plays unseeded German Tatjana Maria in her first round match on Tuesday. Williams has a tough road to an eighth title, with world number one and French Open champion Simona Halep a potential quarter-final opponent followed by Osaka in the semi-finals if the seeds hold sway. Mouratoglou said seedings and rankings would mean little if Serena brought her best form. “I feel when she’s playing at her best, she’s the best player in the world,” he said. “Of course, she’s not number one in the world, and I have a lot of respect for the number one but I still feel that if Serena plays her tennis and she’s herself 100 per cent, I still think she’s the best. But she has to show it now. “I think it might happen,” Mouratoglou said of Williams’ hopes for a 24th Grand Slam title. “We’ll do everything for it to happen this year.”
Minister pledges to revamp sports facilities The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Barrister Solomon Dalung, has reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to upgrade sports facilities and equipment in the country. Dalung made the assertion while watching gymnasts train at the gymnasium complex at the Abuja National Stadium. The sports minister expressed his discontent over the poor level of facilities at the complex, stating that talented athletes must be trained with the right equipment. “Having inspected the facilities and the athletes, there is no doubt that we have the talents to compete with the best gymnast in the world.” He said “But what is missing is the training facilities and the equipment, the equipment here is obsolete the springboard here does not measure up to international standards.”
“If we keep training with bad equipment our athletes will take more time to adjust instead of training to win medals and am not impressed with the facilities that we have here.” Dalung went further by requesting the ministry’s director of facilities to come up with a memorandum to acquire modern equipment for gymnastics. “I have directed the director of facilities to immediately to put a memo to me recommending the procurement of modern facilities for training.” “We have young gymnasts so if we start training them with obsolete equipment then it will also form part of their psychology and it will be difficult to correct.” Dalung also noted that the ministry will embark on updating facilities during the year, adding that the National Stadium and the Hostels will be renovated for optimum usage. “In 2019 will be more interesting in updating
CAFCC: Rangers defeat Bantu 2-1 in Maseru Nigeria’s representative in the CAF Confederation Cup, Enugu Rangers recorded a 2-1 away win at Bantu FC of Lesotho in the first leg of the playoffs at the Setsoto Stadium Maseru on Sunday. Bright Silas gave the Flying Antelopes the lead after in the 19th minute. The goal was Silas’ fourth of the competition for Enugu Rangers. Despite several chances created by Gbenga Ogunbote’s team in the opening

Godwin Aguda made it 2-0 for Rangers in the 87th minute but Lazola Jokojokwane reduce the deficit for the Lesotho league champions, Bantu FC in additional time. It was also Aguda’s fourth goal of the competition from five games. The second leg comes up on the 20th of January at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu.
our facilities, we have made some provisions in the budget for that. We can still accommodate the gymnastics equipment in our overhead cost and recurrent expenditure so it will not take too long or we to get them and other expensive ones will be covered by the budget.” He concluded In his reaction ahead, coach of TIG Anthony Asuquo expressed his delight to the sports minister for coming to the aids of the athletes and also vowed to continue to train podium finish gymnast ahead of international competitions. “Am happy, because the minister wants the progress of the gymnast by wanting to get the right equipment for them.” “Equipment is what we need to train well and get one ready for the competitions because without good equipment the athletes can’t give their best performance. We are working hard to win medals for the country in upcoming competitions,” he noted.
Former South Africa striker Phil Masinga passes on at 49 Former South Africa and Leeds United striker Phil Masinga has passes on aged 49, says his country’s football association. Masinga played at Leeds between 1994 and 1996 and also had spells at St Gallen in Switzerland and Italian clubs Salernitana and Bari. “Sad day for South African football,” said South Africa Football Association president Danny Jordaan. “A loyal servant of the game, on and off the field of play.” Masinga made his debut for South Africa in July 1992 against Cameroon in his country’s first match following readmission to international football by Fifa after
the end of Apartheid. He will best be remembered for his goal against Congo, which ensured South Africa qualified for their first World Cup appearance in 1998. Masinga was also a member of the victorious 1996 Africa Cup of Nations squad. The former forward made 31 league appearances for Leeds, scoring five goals. “It is with great sadness that the club has learnt of former striker Phil Masinga’s passing,” said a statement from the Elland Road club. “The thoughts of everyone at LUFC are with his family and friends.”
Diego Maradona recovering in hospital after operation for internal bleeding Argentina’s World Cupwinning legend Diego Maradona is recovering in hospital after a successful operation to stop internal bleeding caused by a hernia, his lawyer has said. The 58-year-old former national captain and manager discovered the problem at a routine hospital checkup this month. He had the operation on Saturday to stem bleeding in his stomach. “Maradona’s surgical procedure
