American teacher cries out over unpaid salaries... Continued from page 1

Dr Smith Narrating her ordeals in a chat with The Daily Times in Abuja on Tuesday, Dr. Smith said that she was engaged by the School Proprietress, Mrs. Ogon, to head her two schools in Abuja while she was still working as a Superintendent in China, a school of about 3,000 students. According to her, Mrs. Ogon in an effort to recruit her promised to match the same contract, salary and benefits that she was making in China. The professional monthly fees and other benefits agreed upon by both parties was N4.3 million at the exchange rate quoted on the Lagos parallel market payable at the end of every month. Dr. Smith further alleged that upon her arrival to the two schools (Teenee Todds Day Nursery and Broadoaks British School) located at Vistula Close, off IBB way Maitama, Abuja in mid April 2018, things began to fall apart within the first month. She said, ‘’Although with an official signed contract, she failed to honour most terms of it: housing, transportation, salary, and a work visa. ‘’Also due to my repeated requests to obtain a work visa from the school owner because it was stated within my contract, I also discovered that neither of her schools were even registered within the government offices and that she has been operating both schools illegally for 9 years. ‘’Salary was not provided, as agreed upon in the contract. N2, 364,203 has not been paid for the

month of July 2018 up until my last day of employment on July 17, 2018. ‘’Free housing was not provided by the employer, as stated within the contract. N1, 575,000 had to come from my own personal expenses due to refusal to cover the full cost of housing specified in the contract. Due to the poor living conditions (plumbing issues, holes in the wall, electricity issues, lack of water, etc) subjected to at Brains and Hammers Estate, it was crucial that adequate living conditions be provided based on terms of the contract,” she added. Dr. Smith, who could no longer hold back her tears, broke down crying. Amid sobs, she said that all she was requesting for were her entitlements to enable her go back to her country to put an end to the sufferings she had been subjected to. She also alleged that her 17-year-old daughter was forced to drop out of school due to her inability to pay the tuition fee. She further claimed that her lawyer, Barrister Gabriel Obunezi, in the course of investigation discovered how the school owner allegedly shortchanged foreigners working for her. Dr Smith said, ‘’My lawyer has the official documents from the Immigration’s office against the school owner showing evidence of violation of the Nigerian Immigration Law, the documents of tax evasion from the Tax office against her, and we are still in the process of trying to collect my unpaid salary prior to my departure this month of November. ‘’By the grace of God, my employer in China requested that I return after I notified them of my situation here in Nigeria. My unfortunate experience here in Nigeria has been the worst experience of my entire educational career, and I have been in leadership roles within the USA, South Korea, Abu Dhabi, and China for 25 years. ‘’Unfortunately, this specific school owner is certainly not helping to change the negative image of Nigeria by her corrupt actions, not only to foreigners, but also to the 74 Nigerians that are working for her ’’. When contacted, the Proprietress of the School, Mrs. Ogon promised to provide her own side of the story but failed to do so at press time. However, The Daily Times received a call from her lawyer with a promise to meet with the newspaper on a later day with documents to state her own side of the story.

INEC, security agents to recover 2,045 stolen PVCs in A’ Ibom By Isaac Job!, Uyo

The Akwa lbom State Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and relevant security agencies have resolved to recover 2045 permanent voters cards (PVCs) lost to hoodlums in the state last month. The incident occurred at Okobo council area of the state during political parties primary election when some persons suspected to be political thugs invaded INEC office in Okobo local council area and carted away unclaimed PVCs. Addressing a press conference in Uyo on Tuesday to mark the end of official display of voters register in

all the polling units across 31 local council of Akwa Ibom, the National Commissioner that supervised the exercise in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Cross River states, Dr. Mohammed Mustapha Leki, described voters cards as” well treasured property” of the commission. Leki said the purpose of displaying voters register was to help voters inspect, crosscheck and correct their names as well as raise objections where necessary. He observed that people responded to the exercise amidst some challenges such as mispellings of names which he promised to correct in the commission database. Leki further warned the criminals to return the stolen

permanent voters cards to the nearest police station or face the wrath of the law. “The cards were thoroughly configured to reflect the status of their owners. They should quietly return it as the criminals cannot use it for any purpose during election “ He also disclosed that while in Akwa Ibom, he had observed campaign materials and billboards of political parties doting all the streets against the commission’s guidelines on campaigns. He observed that most of the campaign messages were characterized by abusive language and hate speeches and warned politicians to abstain from instigating violence among the electorates.

2019 Presidency: APC, Atiku in war-ofwords over campaign funds Tom Okpe, Abuja

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are facing serious difficulties, raising funds for the elections. The party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, who stated this on Tuesday in Abuja alleged that due to the stringent measures put in place by the present administration, the opposition party is in a dilemma on how to source funds to run the Atiku Presidential Campaign. But in his reaction, spokesman of the former Vice President, Paul Ibe, dismissed the APC’s insinuation, saying that the coming presidential election will not be about money but the supreme will of Nigerians. Ibe said: “Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. Nothing can stop the zeal of Nigerians to elect the President of their choice. This

election will not be won by money, lies, propaganda or intimidation but by the supreme will of the Nigerian people as expressed in their votes. Atiku Abubakar will be elected as President by Nigerians in February 2019 notwithstanding the machinations of the APC-led administration”. According to Nabena, available information from the PDP’s recent strategy meeting in Dubai, United Arab Emirate disclosed that there was a major setback as the hope of sourcing campaign funds from public coffers were dashed. He said, “The Presidential Candidate expects the party to provide funds for his campaign. This is an era of strict accountability and transparency in the use and application of public funds and not the Jonathan era, 2015 when the National Treasury was opened to PDP leaders to prosecute the Presidential campaign. “The party leaders are in serious difficulties and dilemma on how to source funds to run the Atiku Presidential Campaign. Some

financers of the party expect that the candidate, having bought the ticket with millions of dollars should have the financial capacity to run his campaign. With the candidate’s expectation that the party will fund his campaign, it is now clear that they are at crossroads and the chickens have come home to roost. “The anti-corruption agencies should gird their loins and ensure that all sources of campaign fund by the political parties are closely monitored and recover the funds looted during the previous era. Such recovered funds should be applied for the benefits of the poor masses that were denied democracy benefits during the 16 years misrule of the PDP. “It is now clear to the members of the PDP who were deceived into believing that their Presidential Candidate is a man of stupendous wealth that it is all a mirage, a 419 packaging and that they entered a ‘one chance’ bus. “As we approach February 2019 when General Elections will be held in Nigeria, the electorate

Anambra Speaker foils impeachment bid, holds plenary with supporters By John Ndu, Awka

The attempt by some members of the Anambra State House of Assembly led by the member representing Aguata 2, Hon. Ikem Uzoezie, Hon. Harford Oseke, representing Awka South 2, Hon Victor Okoye, Anambra West, among others to unlawfully impeach the current speaker of the state Assembly, Hon. Rita Mmaduawu, has proved abortive. Maduagwu, who was on Tuesday afternoon impeached by some members of the assembly said such action by dissident lawmakers will not stand. She described the action as a nullity, saying that most members of the assembly were with her, and that there was no way the aggrieved group could have gotten up to 22 members, who they purported to have. She said, “How can they say they are 22? Look at all the members with me here, so where did they get their 22 members? All they need to be able to impeach me is 20 members, and they don’t have that. “They did not follow due process, that is why the Clerk refused to swear in the speaker they purported to have elected. “They have nothing against me, and they can not impeach me because they have nothing against me. Did they read any offence, or did they serve me? There are processes that must be followed before impeachment can work. “I was getting ready to go down for plenary when I was told they have moved a motion and

impeached me. “I was not served, they needed only 20 members to impeach me but they could not get that, two of our members are also abroad and have called to support us.” When told that the aggrieved members cited financial impropriety and highhandedness against her, the Speaker broke into laughter. Meanwhile, the speaker later led 10 other members to hold sitting after the earlier group had adjourned sitting. Maduagwu, who presided over the house, also adjourned to 15th November, same day as her traducers. It was gathered that some aggrieved members of the state Assembly who initiated the impeachment process against the speaker of the House had the intention to extend such against Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, but the process became frustrated owing to its failure to get the required two-thirds majority as required by law. Unfortunately for the aggrieved members of the House who felt that they didn’t make it for 3rd and 4th tenure because they didn’t get the support of their constituents , and therefore had resorted for an illegal impeachment process, failed to achieve their selfish interest when the symbol of authority was not on ground to authenticate their act. Uzoezie, while addressing journalists shortly after the plenary, said that the new leadership of the House will reposition the legislature for greater efficiency and better achievements, pointing out that the former speaker made the legislature

a shawdow of its own especially as he further accused the impeached speaker of embezzling funds meant for House services. Meanwhile, Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has commended the members of the Anambra State House of Assembly for the matured and wise way they handled the minor misunderstanding that arose in the House on Tuesday. Speaking from Paris where he is on official tour with President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Obiano commended the Speaker of the House, Hon Rita Maduagwu, the principal officers and other members of the House for rising to the acid test of true democracy and peacefully resolving the misunderstanding that erupted among them. The governor added that the matter would have degenerated to something unpleasant if handled by a less competent crop of leaders. The Governor expressed confidence in the ability of Anambra lawmakers to always resolve their differences in the truest tradition of representative democracy and forge stronger ties that would accelerate the development of the state. He also expressed contentment with the assurances by the Speaker and the Principal Officers of the House that whatever grey areas that might be still lingering in the House would be amicably resolved in the next few days. Speaking further, Governor Obiano assured that Anambra remains Nigeria’s most peaceful and safe state and that his administration would continue to work assiduously to ensure that the state maintains that status.

Oshiomhole

Atiku

are becoming more conscious and aware of the deceitful nature of their so-called leaders. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, is nationally known as a man of immense wealth. Apart from his being a retired officer of the Department of Customs & Excise not above the rank of Deputy Director, and not known to have been an exceptionally successful businessman, his claims to stupendous wealth and source are questionable and lack credibility. “During the “dollar rain” at the Port Harcourt Convention of the party, he outspent all the other

aspirants and easily clinched the party’s Presidential Candidacy ticket. “Having emerged without the support of the “Governor General” of the party, who had earlier produced the party’s National Chairman and ordered the party to hold the convention in Port Harcourt, Alhaji Atiku is now on ‘his own’ in bankrolling his campaign. “The Nigerian Electorate has a better alternative - to stick to the clean, honest and transparent leadership of Muhammadu Buhari GCFR who has done so much to ensure better future for them after the 16 years misrule of the PDP.”

Again, Senate adjourns for one week

As Saraki seeks speedy completion of oversight functions

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate on Tuesday once again adjourned plenary for one week due to inability of the senators to form quorum. As against a quorum of 37 senators, only 20 were present in the red Chamber that necessitated the upper Chamber to revert to Order 10(3) of its rule which says sitting should be adjourned should the number of senators present at any siiting is not up to one- third of total number of senators. This is in consonance with Chapter 5 Part 1 Section 54 of the 1999 Constitution which says “The quorum of the Senate and House of Representatives shall be one-third of all the members of the legislative house concerned”. The business of the day started at 10.55 am with prayers and adoption of proceedings of the last sitting. The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, attributed the absence of many senators to ongoing oversight functions being carried out by members of the different Senate Standing Committees as well

as special ad-hoc committees. He, however, urged members of the different committees concerned to fast-track their assignments and tidy up their reports before next Tuesday sitting. Senate Minority Whip, Philip Aduda, who cited Order 10(3), noticed that the number of members present was insufficient to carry out the business of the day. His motion was seconded by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu. Moving the motion for adjournment, the Leader of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, said the Senate should stand out all items on the Order Paper till the next legislative day, which is Tuesday November 20, 2018. His motion was seconded by Emnanuel Bwacha and plenary was adjourned at 11.05 am. Present at plenary include Senate President, Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan. Others were senators Abu Ibrahim, Joshua Lidani, Emmanuel Paulker, Rafiu Ibrahim, Emmanuel Bwacha, Philip Aduda, and Francis Alimekhena.

FG commends Ayade for SDGs implementation

The Federal Government has lauded Cross River State Government for demonstrating a strong commitment to the implementation of the goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Commending the state governor, Senator Ben Ayade, during a courtesy call along with her team, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, Princess Adejoke Orelope Adefulire, was full of praises for the governor for the full implementation of the 17 goals, 169 indicators and 232 targets of the SDGs in the state. Her words: “I am happy to note that Cross River State has already been demonstrating leadership and strong commitment to the implementation of SDGs. SDGs is about people. It is a universal call for action to end poverty, safeguard our planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by the year 2030 and I’m happy that Cross River is already toeing this path.” Continuing she said:

“I want to commend His Excellency for his vision in all that you are doing especially in the empowerment of your people and investment in agriculture. You also talked about construction of Teachers’ Continuous Training College which you noted will not only train Nigerian teachers but teachers in sub-Saharan Africa and I must say that this indeed is a welcome development and it is very apt given the level of decay in the educational sub sector.” Princes Adefulire also noted that “This will not only empower the teachers but will be translated into better learning which will have direct impact on our children and bring them at par with current realities. I like your interest in education which properly aligns with our activities as well as what you have done so far to achieve qualitative education because without education, they won’t be an end to poverty, disease and other things hampering our growth as a nation.” Stressing the importance of the training facility in the overall development of

children as most graduates are not employable, the SDG boss explained: “Some children are in school but they are not in school and some are out of school but they are in school. So, if they are not well taught, I’m sure they are not in school which is why we emphasis that we engage the right people to teach our children particularly at the kindergarten level.” She further commended the state government for initiating a healthcare insurance scheme, “Ayade Care”, as well as the construction of three ultramodern referal hospitals in the three senatorial districts which she said will contribute significantly to improve the living conditions of the people. Adefulire sued for closer ties with the state to deliver on the goals for the overall benefits of the citizenry. Responding, Governor Ayade lauded the political will of President Muhhamadu Buhari at ensuring that every part of the country gets the desired democratic dividends, even as he pledged the readiness of the state to fulfil its parts. Ayade, who enumerated

some of the machineries he has put in place to achieve the SDGs in the state, said: “We have a connectivity between our Ministry driving SDGs by improving on the livelihood of the people.” Explaining further, Ayade said: “The applicability of SDG in our governance structure allows us the flexibility of developing while carrying our people along and I think that is the hallmark of the programme which must be supported at all levels.” Continuing, he said: “SDG is the way to go. It’s the one catalytic balance between society pressure and self limit and I think I am now an apostle, I support it, I represent it and I speak strongly for SDGs.” While urging the focal person to ensure adequate budgetary provision to the programme in the country, Ayade said: “Let me use this medium to ask the Federal Government to increase its funding to SDG and of course increase budget performance particularly when it comes to SDG, because it deals directly with people and touches those who feel rejected.”

Alleged N650m fraud: Akinjide’s co-accused lose bid for case transfer Justice Muslim Sule Hassan of a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, dismissed separate motions filed by two chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ayo Ademola Adeseun and Chief (Mrs.) Olanrewaju Otiti, seeking the transfer of a N650 million alleged fraud case against them to the Ibadan Division of the Court. The duo are currently standing trial before the court alongside a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Jumoke Akinjide, after their arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 24-count amended charge bordering on the alleged offence. The judge faulted Adeseun and Otiti’s request, saying it

amounts to aprobating and reprobating at the same time. The judge noted that it is inappropriate for the duo to be seeking for the transfer of the case to Ibadan when they were not opposed to its initial transfer from the same place to Lagos at the time Akinjide made the request. “The matter was transferred to Lagos based on the complaints of the first defendant (Akinjide) and the position was never contested by her co-accused. “It was after the matter has been transferred to Lagos and proceedings has started with the prosecution calling two witnesses that the two defendants suddenly woke up from their slumber asking that the matter be transferred back to Ibadan. This amounts to approbating and reprobating at the same

time”, Justice Hassan held. Specifically, the Judge noted that the defendants are on joint trial and that the second and third defendants cannot be tried separately. He also stated that it will be cumbersome and tiring for the court to move its staff and personnel to Ibadan as justice is not only meant for the defendants but, also the prosecution and the society at large. The judge while affirming his jurisdiction to entertain the case said the motions lacked merit. “The application is dismissed, I so hold,” the Judge held. Thereafter, Ms. Jumoke Akinjide’s lawyer, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde, SAN, informed the court that part of the bail conditions granted the 1st defendant on July 16,

2017 was that 1st defendant deposits her international passport with the court registrar and same was deposited. Subsequently, the 1st defendant applied for the release of her passport to enable her travel outside the country and that application was granted. She traveled and upon her return, her passport was returned to the court registrar. “We owe court the duty to say that passport has expired. She applied and obtained a new passport. My application is that the court registrar accept the new passport in place of the old one or in addition to it,” Akinjide’s counsel stated. Meanwhile, the matter has been adjourned to December 10, 2018 for continuation of trial.

I won’t attend trial until FG obeys court order, says Dasuki

Try him in absentia, says prosecution

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) on Tuesday said he would no longer appear in court for his trial over alleged illegal possession of firearms and money laundering until the Federal Government obey valid court orders admitting him to bail. Apart from the charge of illegal possession of firearms slammed against him by the government, he is also standing trial on alleged breach of public trust, diversion of public funds meant for the purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram insurgency amongst others. He had pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was released on bail after perfecting conditions attached to his bail. But the Federal Government through the Department of State Service (DSS) has continued to hold him in custody, forcing him to attend his trials from detention. When the matter came up on Tuesday before Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Dasuki was absent from the court and his lawyer, Victor Okwudiri drew the court’s attention to a letter written and signed by the defendant, stating his intention to stop appearing in court for his trial until the prosecution obey the orders releasing him on bail. The letter dated November 12, 2018 and addressed to the Court’s Registrar, was titled, ‘Unabated Persecution of Mohammed Sambo (rtd) by the Federal Government of Nigeria’. Dasuki in the letter asked the court to: “absolve him of any obligation of appearing at his trial, since the office of the State Security Service, an agent of government detaining him has also refused to respect the various court order for his bail”. The former NSA stated that he was granted bail at different occasions by various court’s in all the charges he is standing trial but the Federal government had refused to obey the orders. According to Dasuki, he was re-arrested at Kuje Prison in Abuja on December 29, 2015,

shortly after he perfected his bail in respect of the three sets of charges filed against him before different judges. Reacting, the prosecuting lawyer, Dipo Okpeseyi (SAN), however, urged the court to order that Dasuki be tried in absentia. Okpeseyi predicated his prayers on the grounds that the cases for which the former NSA has been denied bail are independent of the instant case and described the defendant’s action as an affront to the court. He lamented that while the prosecution was ready to proceed with the trial, the absence of the defendant has again stalled the day’s proceedings. In his ruling, trial Judge, Justice Mohammed, held that the court will not grant the prosecution’s request to proceed with the trial in absentia, unless the prosecution depose to an affidavit accusing the defence of wilfully avoiding the court. Justice Mohammed noted that, the court had in its previous ruling on April 10 settled the issue of Dasuki’s alleged refusal to attend court hearing. The judge further said the decision requested by the prosecution can only follow the applicant’s compliance with the ruling of the court on April, 10. However, Justice Mohammed ordered the defence to properly communicate the court, for the letter to be included in its record. According to the judge, the court is a court of record which does not accept direct communication from parties. He subsequently adjourned the matter till November, 19, 2018.

Alleged N5bn fraud: How Ex-Governor used SURE-P funds for politics Andrew Orolua, Abuja A prosecution witness Mr. Nasiru Salisu Ingawa in the ongoing trial of the former Katsina State Governor, Ibrahim Shehu Shema, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday told the court how former Governor Ibrahim Shema used money meant for Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Program, SURE-P to fund his politics. The witness told Justice Hadiza Rabiu Shagari of the Federal High Court sitting in Katsina State that the defendant

diverted SURE-P fund. Led in evidence by counsel to the EFCC, Ofem Uket, the witness, Nasiru Salisu Ingawa, who testified as PW1, told the court that Shema conspired and systematically defrauded the program from its much needed funds. Narrating to the court how he had met the first defendant, Ingawa, who served as both Personal Assistant and Senior Special Assistant to the former Governor, said, “I was introduced to him (Shema) by my former boss, Osita Chidoka, with whom I worked at the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, as a personal assistant back in 2009.” “After he introduced us, Osita gave

me the defendant’s number and said that I should contact him. Upon doing this, he (Shema) gave me an appointment to meet with him at the Katsina State Governors’ Lodge. I met with him, for the first time, around December 2009. “In January 2010, he (Shema) told me he was looking for a Personal Assistant, PA, and asked me to recommend any of my friends. When I lost my job at the Ministry of Finance in March 2010, I mentioned the development to him and he offered me a job as his PA. I accepted the offer and moved to Katsina in April 2010,” Ingawa continued. Ingawa confirmed to the court that he was given a letter of appointment duly

endorsed by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG. According to the witness, his responsibilities as PA to the Governor included organising the Governor’s daily itinerary, his travel plans, personal tasks, movement of files, correspondences and any other duties as assigned. Ingawa told the court that, early in 2014, he expressed his intention to quit his job as Personal Assistant to the Governor. Thereafter, he was appointed to head the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Program, SURE-P, in Katsina. “The defendant (Shema) had asked

me why I wanted to quit. It was at that point, he said to me that God has his way of working things. He (Shema) told me that I was the perfect person to run the affairs of SURE-P and added I was a very lucky person,” Ingawa said. “He (Shema) told me, in Hausa, ‘Nasiru Siyasa zamu yi’, meaning, ‘We are going to use the funds of the SURE-P to do politics’. We met several other times on how to set up the SURE-P to run as a department, as opposed to running it as a Committee. Sometime in June 2014, I was sworn in as Special Adviser to the Governor on SURE-P. I have a copy of my appointment letter,” he added.

Stack Diagnostics introduces online technology to boost healthcare delivery in Nigeria Angela Chukwuma, Lagos Towards improving the quality of healthcare delivery in Nigeria through innovations and technology, Stack Diagnostics, has introduced an online diagnostic platform known as DiagnoseMe. Africa to boost treatment outcomes. Currently in Nigeria, records show that many patients have become victims of wrong diagnosis due to lack of adequate modern equipment to aid practitioners in arriving at informed decisions on their medical conditions. According to the management of Stack Diagnostics, Nigeria’s first molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine company, DiagnoseMe.Africa would improve patients’ experiences and save cost while getting to the root of their ailments. Evidence has shown that all over the world, continuous technological developments in healthcare have saved countless lives by improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment. Speaking at the unveiling in Lagos recently, Chief Executive Officer of Stack Diagnostics, Dr. Abasi Ene-Obong, said the launch of the online diagnostic platform was timely considering rise in the burden

of diseases requiring molecular and genetic testing in Nigeria. The diseases according Ene-Obong, include: breast cancer, cancer of the lung, cervical cancer, malaria, sexually transmitted diseases, among others. Ene-Obong, affirmed that the online medical service besides reduction in the cost of treatment, would eliminate issues of drug resistance, especially with oncology drugs; improve the delivery of telemedicine and explore the use of ICT in health care service delivery. He explained: “It is Nigeria’s first molecular diagnostics and personalised Medicine Company. We provide genetic testing services and other hard-to- access services to patients in Africa, using a centralized lab approach. “We provide an online market place for ordering test, receiving test results, confirming diagnoses and referring patients for secondary and tertiary care. It eliminates the bureaucracy and hassles involved in seeing doctors offline, thereby saving cost and time.” Ene-Obong revealed that lack of modern tools was fuelling medical tourism among Nigerians as many of them did not have the needed platform to search for doctors over their conditions. He added that lack of equipped laboratories and working tools resulted in poor referal network, poor navigation of

specialist healthcare providers as well as truncated treatment plans and inadequate treatment. In her remarks, a Medical Adviser, DiagnoseMe.Africa, Dr. Ani Nchiewe, urged Nigerians to save cost and avoid the issue of drug resistance when accessing healthcare by embracing online diagnostics. Nchiewe who is a Consultant Radiologist at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Cross River State, noted that the newly launched DiagnoseMe.Africa, would improve patients’ experiences and save cost while getting to the root of their ailments. “It affords us the unparalleled ability to improve healthcare service delivery and eliminate certain avoidable need for referral abroad for tests not usually done in Nigeria,” she said. Nchiewe stated that medical online platform was a patient digitalised problemsolving tool that could function across 36 states in Nigeria, where the doctors provide medical service free of charge to patients. Also speaking at the event, one of the partners of the innovation and Executive Director, Synlab Nigeria, Dr. Tolulope Adewole, said the partnership was aimed at improving the healthcare sector of the country and to reduce medical tourism among Nigerians.

As the representatives of Nigerians, all Senators agree that there is a need to make our Police more responsive

and effective - in order to meet the demands of our nation’s security challenges. “This is why, in putting together the updated version of the Police Reform Bill, we have consulted widely - involving serving and former members of the Nigerian Police Force; private sector, members of the civil society; and legal experts. These consultations have been done in a bid to ensure that this Bill is not only comprehensive in its coverage, but also effective in building stronger institutional guidelines for our police,” the Senate President said. Saraki also mentioned that the Police Reform Bill, amends the existing framework between the Police Service Commission and the Police; creates community police fora at the state level — to ensure closer oversight and participatory policing by the public; and Divisional and State Police Boards,

The mandate given to the new leadership is to ensure that the Bill which has passed second reading stage should quickly go through the public hearing and committee stages so that we can pass it in the next few weeks,” he stated.

War against gaft and matters arising

Ibrahim Magu

It seems like yesterday, when President Muhammadu Buhari, graciously appointed me to Chair the EFCC and preside over the affairs of this very professional institution. You will all remember that I assumed office as the acting Chairman of the EFCC, on November 11, 2015. For me, it was an auspicious opportunity to contribute my quota to Mr. President’s vision of a corruption-free nation. The opportunity to fully subscribe to President Buhari’s mantra to “kill corruption before it kills us”, was for me, the highest call to duty – one that required absolute commitment and passion. Indeed, the task of fighting corruption in Nigeria has never been, is not and can never be an easy one. The battle to make our dear country a place where foreign investors will be confident to invest in is, without doubt, one that must be fought by all Nigerians who love this country, if we are to make any appreciable progress. Perhaps, it is fair to describe the task of championing the anti-corruption crusade as one of the most difficult jobs in the world, because corruption always fights back viciously on many fronts. I have experienced this first-hand. Recall the many battles we have fought over the past three years: recall the monumental challenges that the corrupt people and those who aid and abet them have placed on our path; recall that during this period, armed men attacked and strangled a police man on guard duty at my farmhouse. Recall also that across the country, EFCC offices and officers including operatives, lawyers and media personnel have been physically attacked in the course of the discharge of our duties. Then also, recall the unprecedented vilification we have endured, for the simple reason that we answered the national call to service. Notwithstanding all that, we can still say that overall, for us as an anti-graft agency, it has been, so far, so good. The past three years have been very eventful, and in spite of the obstacles, we have consistently made progress in the areas of convictions, and particularly the recovery of assets stolen from our commonwealth. In May and June this year, our resolute anti-corruption stance and determination saw us secure the convictions of two former governors, who both bagged 14 years jail terms each. It is on record that such an achievement is unprecedented in the fight against corruption over the last three years. The EFCC under my leadership also secured the conviction of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), for perverting the course of justice. Convictions From 2015 – 2018 In the three years that I have been in charge of EFCC, we have secured 703 convictions. The breakdown is as follows: 103 convictions in 2015, 194 convictions in 2016; 189 in 2017 and 217 from January 2018 till date. Assets Recoveries From 2015- 2018 Ladies and gentlemen, in the past three years, we have set recovery records to the envy of virtually all law enforcement agencies in Africa. It is on record that about 90% of all recoveries in Nigeria is through the EFCC.

Following court orders which granted our prayers for interim and final forfeiture of looted funds, the recoveries under my watch between November 2015 and today are as follows: Over N794billion (Seven Hundred and Ninety Four Billion) recovered. Over $261million (Two Hundred and Sixty One Million,) has been recovered. The Pounds Sterling recovered stands at 1, 115, 930.47 Pounds (One Million, One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand, Nine Hundred and Thirty Pounds Forty Seven Pence). The Euros recovered in the period is: 8, 168, 871. 13 Euros (Eight Million, One Hundred and Sixty Eight Thousand, Eight Hundred and Seventy One Euros, Thirteen Euro Cents). There is also the sum of 86, 500 CFA (Eighty Six Thousand Five Hundred CFA Franc). Hundreds of properties such as filling stations, petroleum products, land, jewellery, automobiles, real estate, vessels, hospitals, company shares and heavy machinery and broadcast equipment have been seized from corrupt elements between 2015 and 2018. From 2015 to 2018, 407 mansions were seized, 126 have been forfeited finally and 281 are under interim forfeiture. Nine filling stations were seized and placed under interim forfeiture. Lands seized sums up to 98 of which 56 are under interim forfeiture, while 42 have been forfeited finally to the Federal Government. Two hundred and fifty nine (259) automobiles have been seized, 35 are under interim forfeiture while 224 have been forfeited finally. A hospital, St. Solomon Health Care Centre located at No. 24, Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos, has also been forfeited finally. In 2016, 1500 metric tonnes of AGO and 3,035 Metric tonnes of LPFO were forfeited finally. Also, Base Transceiver Station (BTS) equipments in 36 sites across five Eastern States were forfeited finally on orders of court. A host of other machinery/equipments have been seized on interim basis, while we have obtained final forfeiture orders in respect of others. Jewellery worth millions of naira have been seized and are under interim forfeiture. Completion Of The New Efcc Head Office Building Ladies and gentlemen, some of you who have covered the Commission since 2003 would know that one of the most daunting challenges we have been facing in the EFCC is that of office accommodation. In Abuja, we had our staff scattered over several offices, with the attendant problems of huge rental costs and security of men and sensitive documents and equipment. On my appointment, I set as one of my goals, ensuring the completion of the new Head Office Complex of the Commission, which had been under construction since 2011. I made sure that I focused local and international attention on the project and sought help from the Executive and the National Assembly. I was therefore the happiest person in the world, when President Muhammadu

Buhari commissioned this edifice on 15th May, 2018, a world-class and functional architectural masterpiece, the new head office of the EFCC. It was not only Nigeria or Africa that took notice. In faraway Sri Lanka, during the meeting of Heads of AntiCorruption Agencies, the new EFCC head office was described as the world’s best building housing an anti-graft agency. 8Th Regional Conference Of Heads Of Anti-Corruption Agencies In Commonwealth Africa Also in May 2018, the EFCC successfully hosted the 8th Commonwealth Regional Conference of Heads of Anti-Corruption Agencies in Africa. The Conference, which provided a platform for re-jigging the continent’s corruption fight, had in attendance international figures including Thabo Mbeki, former South African president; The Rt. Hon. Patricia Scotland, Secretary General of the Commonwealth. Also in attendance were former Heads of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd) and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.) and Nigeria’s literary icon and social justice crusader, Professor Wole Soyinka, among several others dignitaries. Following the success of the conference, and in view of the Commission’s landmark achievements, I was appointed Chairman of the Conference. Convocation Of New Eagles Gentlemen of the press, in order to close the gap in the dearth of middle-cadre officers in the Commission, I sought and obtained the approval of Mr. President to engage in massive recruitment exercise across all cadres of the Commission. The new officers of the Commission, who are in the Detective Superintendent, Detective Inspector and Detective Assistant cadres, were trained with the best of facilities at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna. Expansion Of Operational Base In the last three years, we have vigorously pursued the expansion of our operational offices. In the period, we created four offices to bring our operations closer to the people. The new zonal offices are located in Ibadan, Oyo State; Kaduna, Kaduna State; Benin, Edo State and Uyo in Akwa Ibom State. In order to intensify the fight against corruption, efforts are being made to secure land for permanent Zonal offices, with varying degrees of positive results. So far, the Executive Governors of Edo, Gombe and Kaduna States have released large expanses of land for the EFCC Offices in these states. We are at the verge of commissioning two additional offices in Sokoto and Makurdi. Only recently, the Nasarawa State government magnanimously gave us 50 hectares of land for the construction of the Commission’s Training Institute/Academy. Creation Of New Sections/Unit Fully conscious of the growing sophistication of economic crimes, the existing Operational architecture was reviewed and new units were created to address emerging challenges. The new units created are: i) The Procurement Fraud Section, ii) Foreign Exchange Malpractices Investigation Section, iii) Capital Market and Insurance Fraud

Section, iv) Cyber Crime Section v) Forensic/Financial Investigation Section vi) Tax Fraud Section, and vii) Creative Communications Unit. Forensic Directorate The EFCC’s Forensic Directorate has in the period under review, witnessed a dramatic turnaround, placing the unit at par with those of international law enforcement agencies. Indeed, there was a conscientious effort on my part to make the Forensic Directorate a reference point for other sister agencies not only in Nigeria, but across the world. These efforts have yielded amazing results. I make bold to say that on the African continent, no other law enforcement agency can boast of the facilities that we have at the EFCC. International Partnerships And Collaboration During my tenure, based on the rigorous efforts of the EFCC to curb corruption, international law enforcement agencies now have renewed confidence and trust in us. This is evident in a number of partnerships, understanding and agreements that have aided Nigeria’s anticorruption fight beyond the shores of this country. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am the first to recognize and acknowledge the fact that notwithstanding our many achievements and successes in the past three years, there is still a lot to be done at the national and international theatres of the war against corruption. Therefore, we will not rest on our oars. As I have always said, we do not have the monopoly of knowledge, and the fight against corruption should not be left to the EFCC alone. I am therefore, using this opportunity to again call on all Nigerians – both at home and in the Diaspora, to join hands with the EFCC in this task of fighting corruption. Once again, let me crave your indulgence to seize this opportunity to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and to reaffirm my commitment to his vision to fight corruption to a standstill. I also wish to thank Mr. President for providing us with the enabling environment and the political will to see us through the discharge of this onerous assignment. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, members of the executive council, the judiciary, members of the National Assembly, other sister law enforcement agencies, the civil society, all other stakeholders and Nigerians in general for their continued support and for believing in us. I wish to also pay deserved tributes to the patriotic and hardworking officers and men of the EFCC, who are daily making the required sacrifices to ensure that we kill corruption before it kills us. And to you the media, I say thank you for pitching your tent with us over the years. We owe a lot to your critical support. I wish to declare in closing, that the war has only just begun against the corrupt and in this war for our lives, there will be no retreat, no surrender!

Mrs. Ikpeazu: The backbone of grassroot development in Abia

Newman Ubani

From the day one of the administration of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu’s amiable wife, Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu has never relented in doing what she knows how best to do and that’s humanitarian services - assistance to the poor and needy among us and empowerment to many women and youths. This beautiful role of the wife of the Governor has endeared her to many, especially the poorest of the poor as her activities always have a direct bearing on them. This attitude of the Governor’s wife towards these less privileged individuals has really affected people of the grassroots, ranging from building of houses to the indigent Abians to women empowerment, healthcare interventions, especially the sickle cell anemia programmes, free

healthcare outreaches and special interventions in paying hospital bills of those who cannot afford paying their bills. Just last Friday, the Governor’s wife handed over two houses to the poorest of the poor in two LGAs, these particular ones are different from over 50 houses she has built for widows and less privileged in all the parts of the state. The great Amazon has intervened in pathetic situation of many hospital bill payment recently, however, it is important to mention the case of a woman who was denied freedom by a hospital management in Umuahia after delivery as the family could not undertake her bill, which led the children to start going out in the street to beg for money to pay their mother’s hospital bill. When

the wife of the Governor got to know about the case, she immediately intervened in the case and bailed the woman and her child out, thus making her to regain her freedom and return to her home. Another intervention of Mrs. Ikpeazu is a pathetic case of a 9-year-old boy whose stomach was cut by high tension electric wire and nearly died because of inability of the parents to pay charges of his treatment. A woman with the Midas touch, Mrs. Ikpeazu has assisted her husband, the performing Governor of Abia State in so many ways, including her exploit in women and youth empowerment which has taken different shapes in the 17 Local Government Areas of the state. Mrs. Ikpeazu’s contributions and support to

the administration of her husband has brought great success to the government, no wonder Abia has moved from where it was in 2015 to where it is today. Everybody in Abia State is a witness to what Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration has done in the state and the face-lift he has given to Abia State. It is no longer news that Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, has built several roads, revitalised agriculture, turned around the fortunes of the Aba artisans by promoting the Made in Aba products and marketing them beyond the shores of Africa. Education, environment and oil & gas have all been positively affected by the administration of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

Editorial Commentary Aig-Imoukhuede and the Initiative for Public Governance

Times Guest Columnist Reuben Abati

A week ago, I stumbled on an article titled “Africa and the burden of Leadership” (The Guardian, Nov. 7), written by Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, banker, investor and entrepreneur, former Managing Director of Access Bank Nigeria, our compatriot. The piece was actually excerpted from a speech he delivered at the graduation ceremony of government and public policy students at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, UK, in his capacity as founder of the Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG). The AIG was founded by him in 2014. The piece made me curious and I had to check out the Africa Initiative for Governance online. In this age of “google-it” or what others call the “white man’s oracle,” if you are in doubt about anything or you are looking for information, just consult the google-oracle. So I googled it to double-check some of the information already provided in the article before me. Indeed in 2014, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede founded the Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG) as a not-for-profit, private sector-led Foundation to promote good governance and public sector reform. Every year, since 2016, the AIG, in partnership with the Blavatnik School of Government has provided post-graduate scholarships for a Masters in Public Policy (MPP) programme at the University of Oxford. To date, persons selected from Nigeria and Ghana have benefitted from the programme. Five of them graduated in November 2018. They are expected to return to their home country and become change agents in their country’s public sectors. Five other AIG scholars enrolled for the MPP in September 2018. Every year, the Foundation also awards the AIG Fellowship to an outstanding public official in Nigeria or Ghana. To date, Professor Attahiru Jega, former Chairman of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the immediate past Chief Justice of Ghana, Justice Georgina Wood have benefitted from the Fellowship. The AIG is involved in partnership with the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation (OHCSF) to give teeth to a 2017-2020 Federal Civil Service Transformation Strategy and Implementation Plan to ensure the transformation of the Nigerian civil service, and general public sector reform. As recently as October 2018, the Africa Initiative for Governance(AIG) sponsored and facilitated a session: “The Unfinished Business of Reforms” at the 24thNigerian Economic Summit held at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, FCT. I further discovered that my friend and brother, Olusegun Adeniyi sits on the board of the AIG. I recall that he actually once wrote a piece on the initiative when it was first launched. Aigboje Aig-Imokhuede is a member of the emergent generation of Nigerian wealthy men and women, the 80s generation that made its money in the last two decades, from banking, finance, securities, real estate, oil and gas and just about anything that could be turned into money as the decades progressed. This rise of new money in Nigeria as different from “old money” (represented by the the Odutola brothers, Dantata, Ibru, Ojukwu, daRocha, Fernandez etc) also seems to have coincided with a rising consciousness about the need to give something back to society, that is philanthropy or social responsibility. There has been, in Nigeria, a re-definition of capitalism, in terms of a more benevolent construction, and the rich man as a responsible man of community and an agent for social good. I get the point about human capacity investment. Many countries in the developing world have learnt to recruit into their bureaucracy only the best and the brightest available. In India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Pakistan, you must be really smart to be a civil servant. It is understood that what happens in terms of the management of the state determines everything else. In Nigeria, our civil service system has been overtaken by nepotism, lack of merit, incompetence and complete disregard for critical thinking. The same Nigerian civil service that once produced Super Permanent Secretaries (including Philip Asiodu, the late Allison Ayida and late Hayford Alile), now produces ethnic champions, looters, “area boys”, and closet politicians. Aig-Imoukhuede believes that a carefully groomed and intellectually

exposed new elite can create a revolution. He has taken the strategic step of involving beneficiaries from Ghana and other African countries. I assure Aig-Imokhuede that he may end up having more success stories from Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. But that does not mean he must give up on his own country. He made his money here and he has an obligation to contribute to the re-making of the country of his birth. The path he has chosen is much better than donating money to politicians who do not understand policy or the developmental process that will produce a better society. It is a much wiser way of spending his money than acquiring additional wives or side chicks, living large like an octopus, dressing like a coxcomb, or becoming an embarrassing face of capitalism. My worry is this: when the new bureaucratic elite that he is helping to create through first world education return to Nigeria or Ghana, how do they fit in, into the rot in Nigeria especially? How do they fit into the prevalent culture of anti-intellectualism? A Masters in Public Policy (MPP) from Oxford is great but is Nigeria’s civil service today, ready for Oxonian intellect and competence? What is the guarantee that some of AIG’s products will not end up elsewhere in other countries where they may be better valued? Aig-Imoukhuede wants to create 21st century technocrats for a 19thcentury system in Nigeria. Will elite public policy education also prepare his beneficiaries for the primordial constraints of the Nigerian public sector? Let me simplify that. In Oxford, and I believe in the elite school that Aig-Imoukhuede wants to build, they will teach things like planning, processes, innovation, creativity, efficiency and outcomes as parts of the bureaucratic engine. How will the AIG agents when they return to Nigeria respond to their other colleagues who in the first place are holding strategic positions because of Federal Character and whose secondary school certificates cannot be traced and who have never been to anywhere close to Oxford? How will they relate with the horde of civil servants who will leave the office before noon every Friday and will not return? How will they deal with a system where records are not kept and nobody wants to keep any record because of an established “Guardian syndrome” - the this-is-how-we-have-always-done-it mentality that has always made new thinking impossible in the Nigerian civil service? The plan is to train AIG Fellows to think modern, post-modern even, but what should they do with that other colleague who during the weekend had been shown wearing a masquerade attire and prancing about with a primitive sword in his hands, and paraded as the chieftain of a 9thcentury society? I am not knocking AIG’s emphasis on human capacity development and institution building. I am trying to problematize what they propose by saying that there is a whole lot more beyond the development of a new skillsset, and a new generation of thinkers. Nigeria failed first at the level of values, culture and ideals before its public service followed suit and failed. The entire country itself needs to be re-built before the input of private institutions like AIG can be better felt. We need a different kind of leadership: a leadership that values ideas and the capacity of human beings to make a difference, and a governance system that is driven by ideas and a competitive spirit. Nigeria cannot afford to continue drifting. It is the reason many of our capitalists are beginning to jump into the fray to see what they can do from the private sectorend to reduce the spread of institutionally generated madness. It is probably in their enlightened self-interest to be seen to be actively creating new currents within the country, and an enabling environment for capital to thrive, but we should hold Aig and others at the higher end of the spectrum: their love for country. The founders of AIG and similar others have proven one point: that leadership is a collective responsibility and more so, between the public and private sectors. In doing so, they all hold up a candle to future generations and offer hope that some day, this country will reach the turning point of progress. AIG doesn’t want Nigeria and the rest of Africa left on the tarmac. That’s fine. Nigeria needs to board a flight to a higher destination…

OUR POSITION Obono-Obla’s panel and power of prosecution

he decision of the Court of Appeal that voided the power of Chief Okoi ObonoObla-led Special Presidential Panel on Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), to prosecute suspects is instructive in the ongoing war against corruption. A full panel of Court of Appeal that sat on November 5, 2018 in Abuja while delivering judgment in the suit brought by Tijjani Musa Tumsah and Ibrahim Musa Tumsah, held that the Special Presidential Panel on Recovery of Public Property (SPIP) went beyond its statutory powers of investigation. The appellate court further held that the panel improperly obtained forfeiture orders from Court that enable it seize the properties belonging to the two brothers. The Chairman of the Special Presidential Panel on Recovery of Public Property, Chief Obono-Obla masquerading himself as “Federal Republic of Nigeria” had through an ex -parte application obtained the forfeiture order against the Tumsah brothers whom it was investigating on the grounds that they had failed to declare their assets. But the Court of Appeal held that the suit instituted against the Tumsah brothers at the lower court was incompetent and that having not being properly instituted, robbed the court off its jurisdiction to entertain the matter, let alone to enter judgement”. Reasons adduced for appellate court’s decision are that the salient Sections of Recovery of Public Property (Special Provisions) Act Cap R4. No 3 of 1984 are univocal and unambiguous. The function of the panel as clearly stated is unambiguously stated in Section 1 of the Recovery of Public Property (Special Provisions Act) supra is inter alia to “ conduct an investigation into the assets of any such public officer” who has “engaged in corrupt practices or has corruptly enriched himself or any other person” breached the Code of Conduct or has abused his office “ to the economic adversity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” It is also expressly stated in Section 4 (4) of the Act that following completion of investigation, the panel shall report its findings to the Head of the Federal Government. But the Act did not empower members of the panel to usurp the prosecutorial powers of the Attorney

General of the Federation or those of the security agencies such as Police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Notwithstanding the nomenclature by which the Federal Republic of Nigeria FRN is described in the ex-parte proceedings as the “applicant”, the fact still remains that the reliefs sought and contained in the Motion paper were in fact granted to the Chairman of the SPIP, the appellate court said. We are of the opinion that the decision of the Court of Appeal was clear on the grounds that the provisions of the EFCC Act only confer on the EFCC both investigative and prosecutorial powers or duties. It is, therefore, the EFCC alone that is authorised to carry out those investigative and prosecutorial duties/functions under the EFCC Act to the exclusion of any other person or body. Though, the Special Presidential Panel on Recovery of Public Property can exercise its right of appeal against this decision, we strongly believe that SPIP should limit itself to the provisions of the act establishing it and allow the AGF and EFCC to prosecute corruption cases without unnecessary distractions

N8. 9bn IDPs feeding programme: ‘NEMA Short News Governing Council has case to answer’ Zionists declare December 1 day of Henry Omunu, Abuja

The furore generated by the House of Representatives recommendations on the management of funds to feed Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North East intensified Tuesday, with the Chairman, House Committee on Emergency and Disaster Management, Rep. Ali Isa, insisting that the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) governing council headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has questions to answer over the utilization of funds under the federal government’s emergency feeding programme . Rep. Isa stated this while addressing journalists following reactions that have trailed the adoption of the report of the House committee which investigated the activities of the disaster management agency. While reassertion that due process wasn’t followed before N5.8 billion and another N3.1 billion were approved and withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to fund the North East emergency food programme, the committee chairman declared that Osinbajo as Vice President approved the expenditure even when the government’s procurement process wasn’t adhered to. Asked categorically if the Vice President has a case to answer in the alleged financial infractions committed by NEMA, he answered in the affirmative, declaring that

“yes. He (Osinbajo) does have questions to answer. There are a lot of issues that have been raised even during the investigation. “The N5.8 billion was for the release of emergency food items to the North East. The committee was able to confirm that the amount was removed from the Consolidated Revenue Fund and not even from this account but from the Eurobond approved by the National Assembly. “So removing the money from the Eurobond we feel is not right. The money was released directly into the companies accounts without any procurement, without any award letter and without any process. “That is why l stated that up till this moment, l have no regrets, that if any of the agencies feel due process had been followed and documents can be provided, they can bring the documents to me, l will bring the documents to the House and apologize to Nigerians.” While denying that the House resolutions were politically motivated, the lawmaker expressed surprise how the Vice President’s could respond to issues when it hadn’t received any official communication from the House. He maintained that beneficiary states in the North East through their representatives at the investigative hearing conducted by the House, denied receiving food consignments for IDPs in their respective states. “Let me clarify, the Vice President approved the releases when he was acting president and

the money was removed from the Eurobond. But in our submissions there is no where l or the committee specifically mentioned either the Vice President or Prof. Osinbajo. “What l also know is that he is the chairman of the governing council of NEMA. So if he knows there is something that l don’t know, his office may be to respond to some of the issues. “I have documents from CBN and the ministry of finance that these releases be paid directly to the said companies account without the signing of any agreements with the companies, without given them any award letter, and without any procurement process money was paid into their accounts. “When the committee tried to find out what happened to the procurement, everybody tried to transfer the blame. When we asked the accountant general of the federation, he directed us to NEMA and when we asked NEMA, they directed us to find out from the governing council. “Even the committee sent an invitation to him (Osinbajo) but he directed the NEMA director general to represent him. So definitely, there were a lot of issues. “The directors who were suspended after testifying before the committee, we were informed that the governing council that hasn’t been in existence for many years was hurriedly inaugurated by the acting president and the same people were suspended to jeopardize the committee from getting the necessary information,” he added.

Kwara govt threatens civil servants over by-election Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin The Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led government has threatened to sack any civil servant who refuses to vote for the party in the November 17, by-election in Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke -ero federal constituency of Kwara. Some of the civil servants who spoke on condition of anonymity said there had been several calls to civil servants to vote the PDP candidate or they lose their job. The concerned civil servants stated that they were asked to either vote for the PDP candidate or forfeit their job, stressing that such calls were becoming recurring.

They noted that this development had created tension among the civil servants in the state. The All Progressives Congress (APC) viewed this development as undemocratic, draconian and tyrannical and a threat to the country’s democratic sustenance. “We believe that workers have the inalienable right to vote the candidate of their choice in any election and should not be coerced into voting against their wishes,” he said. According to the statement, these are the same workers who are being owed several months of unpaid salaries, wages and allowances. “Some of these workers have been on the same level for several years without promotion, some

cannot afford a good life because of the grave neglect from the state government,” the statement said. The APC called on the civil servants not to be intimidated or coerced into voting against their conscience, adding that harassing voters is now their stock in trade after gross non performance. The statement called on civil servants to liberate themselves from the evil of Kwara State government and the PDP by trooping out enmass to vote for the APC in the byelection. “We assure all civil servants in the state that they will be fully compensated and get all their promotion when the APC takes over the state in 2019,” the statement added.

A Group, the Buhari Media Organization (BMO) has stated that the campaign blueprint of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP)’s Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar campaign blueprint is evil. The Group said the resolution issued after the “Dubai Jamboree” of the PDP presidential candidate lacks logic, commonsense and commitment to solving the Nigeria’s problems. In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke in Abuja on Tuesday, BMO says that the campaign strategy blueprint is cantered mostly on divisive tendencies and rhetoric. The statement reads: “It proposes using religious, ethnic sentiments, lies and propaganda as its major campaign tool against the performing administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. “But of course, this has not come to us as a surprise as the PDP used the same method in the run-up to the 2015 Presidential election. What is surprising however is that despite PDP’s pretences about being a rebranded party that has learned its lessons, it indeed has learned nothing from the past”.

Illegal firearm: Court insists on speedy trial of Enugu High Chief Moses Oyediran, Enugu

A Federal High Court sitting in Enugu on Tuesday said it would not entertain any delay in the ongoing trial of a High Chief in the State, Chief Christian Akpata. The accused person Chief Christian Akpata, a native of Akamaoye community in Ezeagu Local Government Area of the state, is standing trial before the court for allegedly being in possession of illegal firearm. Akpata was earlier arraigned before the court for being in illegal possession of a pump action gun with registration number P268884, an action said to be punishable under Sect. 27 (1) (a) (i) of Fire Arms Act Cap F28 Laws of the Federation,

2004. Earlier, a Police Officer, SP Benedict Ayalogu, who was led in evidence by the prosecutor, had told the court that a team from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit came on a search at the Enugu resident of the accused person and recovered a pump action gun and seven live ammunitions. Ayalogu said upon interrogation, the accused person (Akpata) said the gun was licensed. He, however, told the court that though the Akpata later brought a license, he suspected that the document was forged. “The description of the gun in the license read ‘single barrel shot gun and not pump action recovered in his residence,’’ Ayalogu told the court. Meanwhile, Ayalogu kept silent on

one of the charges against Akpata, which bordered on alleged forgery of the signature of the traditional ruler of the community, Igwe Kieran Ugwuozor, on an irrevocable power of attorney dated Nov. 15, 2004 and purported same to be genuine. When asked during crossexamination by the defense counsel, Mr Alex Alujiogu, why he avoided that part of the charge, SP Ayaklogu, said the prosecutor did not ask him to delve into that. In her ruling, the Trial Judge, Justice Rosemary Dugbo-Oghoghorie, said in line with the new practice of the courts, criminal trials must be done day to day so as to ensure speedy dispensation of justice. She, thereafter, adjourned the matter for Wednesday, Nov. 14, and ordered the police to make their witnesses available.

ActionAid expresses concern over poor agriculture funding Adebisi Oyindamola, Abuja ActionAid Nigeria has expressed concern about the inability of Nigeria to meet the stipulated 10 percent financial commitment to Agriculture as agreed at Malabu Declaration on Food Sustainability. The African Heads of State in 2014 entered into an agreement to halve the poor indices of hunger by 2052.

‘I will not hand over to illegal PDP executives in Kwara’ Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Kwara, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo has vowed not to hand over the party’s properties to illegal executive members as presently constituted in the State. Oyedepo, who made this known on Tuesday in Ilorin while briefing the press, declared that the PDP executive led by Engr Kola Shittu was illegal. It may be recalled that Oyedepo, with over 95 per cent of PDP members in Kwara defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) when Senate President Bukola Saraki left APC for PDP. “It is a well known fact that as from the 1st day of August 2018, I ceased to be the chairman of PDP in Kwara State. “And since then I have waited in vain that the party, PDP will put its house in proper shape to elect a new executive of the Party in accordance with its well-known

provisions of its constitution,” he said. According to Oyedepo, when a person voluntarily left office as he did, there should be proper handling over of the Party’s properties to those that must take over. “But there is the need to hand over to lawfully and properly constituted executive of the party. “It is my considered opinion that the Kwara State Executive of PDP as presently constituted is illegal and cannot be the proper people to whom the properties of the Party can be entrusted. “As far as I am concerned, the Engr Kola Shittu led Executive is illegal and not properly constituted in accordance with the extant laws of PDP. “Nobody in that Executive can come forward to claim the properties of the Party from me,” Oyedepo said. He therefore advised the party to put its house in order before approaching him for the hand over notes. Oyedepo noted that when he left PDP, there were still some members of the

executive that did not leave him. According to the APC chieftain, his former youth leader, Alhaji Mahmud Dansofo called him several times that he was instructed by his chairman that he should hand over PDP properties to the new executive. He said it was the constitution of PDP that when a member of the executive resigned or removed, he should be replaced from his locality. Oyedepo also said that there still members of the PDP executive in the state that have not be dissolved by the National Executive of the party have. “I left many other members of the executive that did not resign nor those under me dissolved by the National Executive of PDP. “Something must be done to make the executive legal after my departure. “If that is not done whatever structure is put in place by the PDP in Kwara State is illegal and I cannot do any political business with an illegal body,” Oyedepo added.

Three European made pump action rifles with numbers L926547, R268751, P98770, one berretta pistol and two locally made pistols were recovered in an uncompleted building at Road 1, Block 1, Plot 7, Victory Park Estate, Osapa London, Ilasan, Lagos.

Alleged N21.4bn fraud: EFCC re-arraigned ex-Air Chief Amosu, others Peter Fowoyo, Lagos A former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Adesola Amosu (retd.), was on Tuesday rearraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N21.4 billion fraud. Amosu, alongside Air Vice Marshall Jacob Adigun and Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo, were re-arraigned before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on a 13 count charge. The trio were first arraigned in June 2016 alongside eight firms before Justice Mohammed Idris. Their re-arraignment before Justice C.J. Aneke yesterday followed the elevation of Justice Idris to the Court of Appeal. As a result of Justice Idris’ elevation, Amosu’s trial, which has lasted over two years in court, is starting (de novo) afresh before Justice Aneke.

The EFCC has amended the charge sheet by dropping the names of the eight firms, which were joined as defendants in the earlier charge sheet. Prior to the re-arraignment of the defendants, Justice Aneke, in a ruling, rejected the prayer by the defence counsel that the eight firms, whose names were removed from the charge sheet, should first be discharged and acquitted before any further action. However, the Judge in his ruling faulted the argument of the defence counsel and directed that the amended charge be read to them. They all pleaded not guilty. In the first count, the EFCC alleged that the defendants conspired among themselves “to covert a total sum of N21,467,634,707.43, property of the Nigerian Air Force, which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of proceeds of your unlawful activities, to wit: criminal breach of trust.”

The anti-graft agency alleged they diverted the N21.4bn using several firms. The prosecuting counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo, said the defendants committed the offence on March 5, 2014, adding that they violated Section 18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 and were liable to be punished under Section 15(3) of the same Act. After they pleaded not guilty, Justice Aneke allowed them to continue with the bail granted them in 2016 by Justice Idris. He adjourned till Wednesday (today) for continuation of trial. Meanwhile, the EFCC is in moves to secure a permanent forfeiture order on a sum of N2.2bn recovered from Amosu. A similar order is being sought on N190,828,978.15 recovered from Gbadebo. The anti-graft agency filed a final forfeiture application for the funds before Justice Mojisola Olatoregun who had adjourned ruling on the application till December 3, 2018.

Kwara bye-election: PDP cautions Buhari to stop using police for politics Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari to jettison the plot to use the police as a tool to intimidate voters and rig the Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero/Isin Federal Constituency by-election, in Kwara State, scheduled for Saturday. The party cautioned President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bear in mind that such a plot will be a direct invitation to crisis, as the people of Kwara State are already fully rallied behind the PDP in firm resistance and to dismantle all APC rigging machinery at the polls. The party in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, alleged that the APC and the Buhari Presidency are bent on manipulating the electoral process, including using security agencies, particularly, the police against the will of the people.

The PDP said it is privy to clandestine meetings at the Presidency, where APC leaders handed down orders to the police high command to compromise the security architecture in Kwara state by transferring the District Police Officers (DPOs) in the nine police districts of the Federal Constituency and replacing them with officers believed to be pliable to instructions to execute the APC’s rigging script in the election. The party stressed that “the people of Kwara state already have details of the brief handed to the new DPOs, including providing cover for APC thugs procured to unleash violence on voters and PDP supporters, snatch ballot boxes and disrupt elections in certain areas as well as to alter election results to favour of the APC candidate. “The people are also aware of the directives to harass, intimidate, arrest, and detain indigenes of Kwara state, and to provide cover for the importation of aliens from other

areas by the APC to participate in the election”. The PDP as a result cautioned the APC and its compromised security and electoral officials to retrace their steps or face the full wrath of the people of Kwara state, particularly, those in Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero/Isin Federal Constituency. The party said “the people are now at full alert and completely rallied to protect their political territory and to defend their votes to the end with every means available to them as free citizens under the law. “It is a settled fact that Irepodun/ Ekiti/Oke-Ero/Isin Federal Constituency and indeed, Kwara state, remains the stronghold of the PDP”. It added that its candidate, Saheed Alatishe, enjoys the support of the overwhelming majority of the people who are not ready to yield their mandate to any other person, no matter the level of intimidation or threat from the enemies of democracy.

Shut financial institutions: NDIC begins verification of insured depositors of 145 MFBs, 6PMBs Says payment to verified depositors to begin soon

Motolani Oseni The Managing Director/ Chief Executive, Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Umaru Ibrahim, Tuesday said the corporation has started verification of insured depositors of 145 Microfinance Banks (MFBs), and six Primary Mortgage Banks (PMBs) that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently revoked their operating licenses. The NDIC boss, also, revealed that it would soon begin payments to the verified and appropriate depositors in fulfillment of its core mandate. Ibrahim who disclosed this at 2018 workshop for Business Editors and Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria (FICAN), with the theme: ‘Financial Inclusion, Consumer Protection and Evolution of Virtual Currencies in Nigeria’, stated that majority of the depositors especially in the MFBs, have

less than N200, 000.00 in their accounts, which implied that the NDIC would hopefully cover 100 per cent of the depositors. He reaffirmed that NDIC would continue to work closely with CBN to ensure effective supervision of the banks to ensure strict adherence to rules and regulations guiding banking operations. Speaking on the revocation of the banking license of the defunct Skye Bank, said with bridge bank option, depositors of the defunct Skye Bank are guaranteed access to their total deposits. He bemoaned that CBN was erroneously credited with the establishment of the bridge bank (Polaris Bank), which is the exclusive responsibility of NDIC as provided for under its enabling Act. However, pointed out that the adoption of bridge bank (Polaris Bank) option to resolve the failure of Skye Bank Plc saved over 6000 jobs, which could have been lost as a result of the

bank’s failure. According to him, the system put in place that allowed Polaris Bank to take over the debunk bank enable depositors to have easy access to deposits more than N949.60 billion as of June 2018. He hinted that bridge bank is also less costly to the entire macroeconomy, saying that a bridge bank was created as a temporary bank to operate a failed until a buyer can be found and its benefits are not far-fetched. “The resolution option is less disruptive to the rendition of bank services, unlike outright liquidation or depositors’ payout. The payout option, for example, would have resulted in depositors not assessing their deposits as they would be paid their guaranteed deposits only, in the first instance. Subsequently, payment of excess uninsured deposits would remain uncertain, protracted and entirely dependent on the level of real usable assets.”

He added that this is intending to protecting depositors against fragrant disregard of extant rules by the management of financial institutions thereby mitigating the occurrence of unlawful insiders’ dealings, weak internal control and overall non-compliance to prudential guidelines. Also, he said NDIC, in collaboration with relevant critical players in the nation’s financial system, would continue to work on several initiatives to accelerate financial literacy and financial inclusion, especially among rural communities nationwide to promote inclusive growth in Nigeria. To further enhance financial system stability, he hinted that NDIC has embarked on various public awareness campaigns explaining the role and responsibilities of the customers to their banks, and vice versa, adding that the campaign would essentially instill market discipline on the part of the depositors to ever be more vigilant in choosing financial institutions to bank with.

Heritage Bank seeks increased govt, banks’ support in Agric sector Heritage Bank Plc has called on government at all levels and deposit money banks to increase supports in agriculture, as it is the most resilient and vital sector of the Nigerian economy, despite underwhelming investment in the sector. The Executive Director of the bank, Jude Monye stated this while delivering a paper, titled, “Bank Experience in Lending to the Real Sector (Agric) of the Economy,” at the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) 2018 Chief Risk Officers Forum Retreat, in Lagos, yesterday. He disclosed that increased focus on the agriculture sector would contribute to the Job creation objectives of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), as its labour

intensive process across the value chain has the potential of creating multiple jobs, create wealth, and increase the sector’s contribution to GDP and foreign exchange earnings Meanwhile, Monye stressed that the under-performance of the sector is closely tied; amongst other factors; to poor credit access from banks. On the part of the government, he decried that Nigeria’s Agricultural research institutes that are established to drive the sector’s business were underfunded compared to India’s. “The 2018 budget allocates N54bn and N149bn (US$490m) to the agriculture and rural development ministry for recurrent and capital spending respectively. “Agricultural research institutes have

received an average of N28bn (US$90m) annually over the past five years. The comparable figure for India, with six times the population, is closer to US$2bn,” he stated. He further noted that the economic recovery and growth plan of the government is heavy on Agriculture and MSMEs as key drivers of the economic diversification plan. “Successful implementation of the Government’s Recovery Plan provides significant opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and financiers – particularly in the Agro-allied Sector,” Monye affirmed. The Executive Director added that investments in infrastructure (energy and transportation) are supportive of the Agricled growth.

He explained that to explore options for de-risking and unlocking bank lending to the Agric sector so as to develop and position the sector for increased contribution to Nigeria’s GDP and revenues, there is need to Continue regulatory driven intervention funds to increase access to credit at single-digit rates and long tenors, Improve knowledge of Banks and Bankers on Agric finance and Agricultural Risk Management through focused capacity building and many others. Speaking at a retreat with the theme, “Achieving Economic Diversification for Nigeria via the De-Risking of Lending to the Nigerian Non-oil Sectors, the MD/CEO of NIRSAL, Aliyu Abduhameed, explained that the value chain financing is one of the major problem facing Nigerian agricultural sector.

Vandals of pipelines belonging to the Nigeria National Petroleum Co-operation, NNPC has been warned to steer clear as the mission is suicidal. NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, stated disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, while cautioning anyone who fails to heed the golden advice would sooner than later find himself or herself to blame. The NNPC spokesperson said the regretful fate of a vandal whose lifeless body was discovered recently in a pipeline at Gbaga axis of Ogijo, in Ogun State, should send clear warnings to those whose stock in trade is to breach oil and gas pipelines with reckless abandon. Mr. Ughamadu called on relevant government agencies to collaborate with the corporation to appropriately tame vandalism of oil facilities, adding that host communities should also partner the NNPC to tame the scourge.

FG targets 1m beneficiaries of N-Power programme To become Africa’s largest post -tertiary job scheme

Motolani Oseni Due to the growing need for government’s direct intervention in job creation, the Federal Government has said it will expand the N-Power scheme to accommodate 1 million beneficiaries in the next phase. The creation of N-Power programme, which was borne out of the government’s committed to creating more opportunities for Nigerians to prosper has recorded commendable successes since its establishment. Responding to variety of questions from Nigerians across different

professions and persuasions, at a town hall meeting in Abuja yesterday, the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said the programme would become the largest post-tertiary job scheme in Africa. According to him, “the idea of N-Power is supposed to be government’s own programme of direct employment and training. At the moment, we have taken up to 500,000 and in the next phase we are looking at another 200,000 and closely followed by another 300,000. “In all, we will be employing up to a million, and that will be the largest post-tertiary job programme in the entire Africa. The reason why we have done this is because of the employment

problems that we have, we may not be able to engage everybody but at least government must give some direct provision of jobs.” Prof. Osinbajo explained further that though government could not pay more than the N30,000 currently paid to beneficiaries and also fix all the unemployment issues, it is working on creating the enabling environment to ensure that beneficiaries as well as other unemployed Nigerians become useful to themselves. “It is infrastructure that will create the opportunities to provide more jobs, especially through manufacturing and Industry”, he said.

FG, Nasarawa sign MoU on completion of 20MW dam project  Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Federal Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nasarawa State government for the takeover and completion of the Farinruwa Dam project by the Ministry of Water Resources. Farinruwa Dam, located at Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State has the capacity to generate 20 Megawatts of electricity and generate millions of cubic water to about twenty communities on the stage. The Minister of Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu, signed on behalf of the Federal Government while governor Tanko Al-Makura signed on behalf of the State. Governor Al-Makura expressed his appreciation to the federal government for taking over the project in order to complete

it adding that the the stage government lacks the financial requirement to complete the projects hence the need for the Federal Government to intervene. Al-Makura said that the project, when completed would add to the quality of life of the people of the state. “This agreement will go a long way in improving the living standard of the people as it will help agriculture to grow,” he said. While noting that the takeover of the project by the federal government is an indication of its resolve to execute projects that will impact the life of ordinary Nigerians, the governor added that by agreeing to complete the project the FG’s lifted a heavy burden from off the states’ shoulders. He assured that the state will be transparent in the profit sharing arrangement from doing business with the federal government.

In his address, after the signing ceremony, the Minister assured that the federal government will expedite action on the project. It will be recalled that the Farinruwa dam was abandoned by the Nasarawa state government due to paucity of funds to complete the project. The Minister of Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman, explained that the FG’s decision to takeover and complete the dam project is borne out of its commitment to complete all abandoned water projects in the country was paramount to the overall goal of improving access to potable water in the country. Adamu, who reeled out his achievement at the opening ceremony of the maiden edition of Nigerian Media Water Week, said that the ministry was working in line with the National Water Resources Master Plan, which targets deriving optimum benefits for Nigerians.

POLITICS TIMES g Daily Times Nigeria Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Presidential system, root of corruption in Nigeria, says Adegbenro Otunba Adejare Rewane Adegbenro, an entrepreneur was born into two political dynasties. His paternal grandfather is the late Premier of the defunct Western Region, Chief Dauda Soroye Adegbenro. On the other side, his maternal grandfather is the late Pro-Democracy crusader and financial of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), Pa Alfred Rewane. In this interview with some journalists, he spoke on the state of nation and proffered solutions to some of the nation’s problems. PATRICK OKOHUE reports. What is your view on the state of the nation? I must confess that it has not been easy at all, the way we see things since this government came to office. They try to do their best, but their best has not been enough because there is always room for improvement. In fact, one aspect that is getting everybody worried presently is the volume of lives that we have lost in this country in the last three and a half years which is too enormous. Thankfully however, the government is putting in a lot of efforts to see the killings stopped and there are positive results towards that angle. Let us remember that President Muhammadu Buhari is just a single person. So, it is our collective responsibility to rally round him and his administration to help him succeed in all his efforts to make Nigeria better for all and sundry. So, the government should come out with more bold plans to stem these killings especially in the North. Then, the poverty aspect of it, many Nigerians are suffering and the government is doing their very best to see that the down trodden are empowered with all sorts of empowerment schemes and programmes and all that. Buhari should be commended for his administration’s efforts in agriculture which he is bringing back as the main stay of our economy. After all, we are proudly eating Nigeria Made Rice across the country. Yet, there are more sectors the President is performing wonders that are not in the public domain. We often blame the past administrations for our present woes. But I don’t want us to continue to engage in this buck passing and blame game. When a government gets into office, they know what they want to do before getting into office. You just have to get down and do what you are around to do in office. If past administrations were blamed for the mess and they have accepted their faults, what else are we expecting from them? So, we should stop the blame game and settle down to perform as expected. More importantly, we have not been able to tackle the education problem of our children. That is another area that constitutes problem for the country. When Chief Obafemi Awolowo was campaigning, I read his last campaign in the paper where he said that, those who make education of their children impossible would suffer for it sooner or later. And we are now realising it. And majority of those involved in killings and maiming are not knowledgeable, they are not educated, they take drugs. Sadly however, majority of them are being sponsored by politicians. Majority of them, sadly are also not from this

country. They are likely imported to destabilise this country and everybody is looking. What then do you think can be done to arrest that trend? I believe that it is the duty of the government to make sure that all our borders are secured. Let the government close the borders for about six months or so and see what would happen. Our borders are porous and that is why you see the influx of nationals of neighbouring countries like Niger Republic, Chad, Benin Republic and so on into Nigeria unchecked. Strangers just besiege Nigeria because of the impression that we are big with abundant resources to go round. They come here to do all sort of things. They may take over this country if given the opportunity to do so. So it is left to our government to look inward and see what exactly we can do to stop all this nonsense. How would you assess former leaders when they were in power? You see, like I said earlier, don’t let us get involved in passing bulk and trading blames, because we won’t get anywhere. Whether we like it or not, past leaders have done their best. We should be tired of hearing that the administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that ruled for 16 years ruined this country. I am even surprised listening to Godswill Akpabio, who was with the PDP before joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), say PDP didn’t do anything for this country. He has forgotten so soon that he was part of that administration. He was governor for eight years and then Senator on the platform of that PDP that he is now castigating, And interestingly, Akpabio constructed the best stadium in this country in Akwa Ibom when he was governor, yet he joins the chorus that PDP did not do anything for the country. Are you getting my points? Don’t you think that recycling of the old people is affecting governance in this country? Well, what I will say is that it is high time we adopted the system whereby the youth with younger and versatile brains come up to rule this country. My children, whenever I have problem with my phones of whatever brand, you will see the way these three, four years old would handle the fault, I cannot do it with my age and my experience and exposure. Whenever I exhaust my data, I will just call on them to help me out because it seems they had got special training from the womb that make them more advanced than us technologically. And the way we are talking and seeing things, they are not seeing and talking

Adegbenro

that way. They are more current in global events than us. So, let us now encourage the younger ones, who now have better ideas about how a country should be governed to come up and take the leadership mantles of this country. We should do the right thing and stop our engagement in blame game. Are the youth themselves ready for leadership roles? That is the challenge now. Are the youth ready for service or are they still dreaming of riding bigger cars and living in big houses in Lekki or Victoria Island in Lagos or choicest areas in Abuja, Kano, Port-Harcourt or Enugu? Anybody who wants to rule this country must have in mind service to the people and not because of affluence. When you want to serve, you should remember your people are suffering and you want them to see you as a disciplined person. Your life style should be the type that every person around you would want to emulate. You have to serve as a role model in your immediate environment. The youths coming to office should be ready to eradicate the idea of long convoy to save cost. What baffles me is that all of us travel abroad and we see what is obtainable there. We go to Britain, we go to America and we go to France. Where did we see what we are practising in Nigeria? The money that should be used in taking care of the masses is being squandered on the retinue of cars and aides. Everybody here would have Police Escort. There was a day I was in the train in Britain with Mr. Cameron. He just sat quietly by the window reading newspapers. And

that has not taken anything out of his image as the leader of that great country. Nobody stood up for him. People still put the blame on the presidential system of government we are operating. Do you agree with that? I am telling you honestly, if we are asked to go for referendum now, I will mobilise and campaign for people to go for parliamentary system of government. It is this presidential system that has brought corruption and all other vices over us. We are wasting too much money and resources on the presidential system. We are not ripe for it. Even Britain, as advanced as they are, still practise parliamentary system. It is only in America that presidential system is in operation because they have passed through many stages before the system came to stay. We have not got to that stage. There is no discipline here in Nigeria. So, how do you want us to continue this presidential system? There is no amount of policies and manifestoes that can reduce corruption under the system. This is simply because the money involved in the system would make it impossible to stop corruption. The best we can do is to let Nigerians come out and decide. If I were the president today, I will come out and say, I have done my best and my best is not enough the way I look at it, and so I suggest we go back to the parliamentary system. And if Nigerians so decide over it, then, let us go to referendum. It is then that Nigerians will decide. Sadly, we missed that opportunity. Some people just woke up and foisted the presidential brand on us. There was no referendum to decide that.

In parliamentary system, Chief Awolowo became a member of the parliament as an Ikenne honourable in the Western Region. He got to the parliament from Ikenne and became a Leader/Premier. Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola contested from Ogbomosho, he became a member of the House of Representatives and became the Opposition Leader. My grandfather, Chief Dauda Soroye Adegbenro contested from Ifo in the current Ogun State, he got to the parliament and became a Minister. Awolowo appointed him parliamentary Secretary and then Minister of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. These were the people voted for at the grassroots and they knew their people’s needs. If any of them was not doing well, others would accuse him and remove him because they were all the same in the Chambers. But here now, we have the executives doing whatever they like. We also have legislators who screen Ministers before appointment and then after appointment, the Ministers become their landlords that cannot be controlled any more. Can’t Restructuring of the country serve same purpose? I believe in restructuring very well. When you look at restructuring, it means you will sit down to decide what goes where in terms of allocation of resources and revenues from Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission. I remember in Western Region when my grandfather was there. The region was lending Federal Government money from cocoa. They were richer than the centre. But the presidential system has destroyed all this. And they did it intentionally so that our people would not have enough money to upstage them. They vandalise our education system as well as other credible things. So, what we are saying is what is the Federal Government’s business in agriculture? Put up the policy, give money to the states and local governments and let them go and utilise it. Then there would be healthy competition between the states. That is what was obtainable years back when the regions were in competition. The Easter Region would say Second to None, the Western Region would say First in Africa because of the ways they were developing. But today, they have vandalised the whole thing. When Awolowo declared self-rule, Ahmadu Bello wrote to congratulate him. But he said the North was not ready for three reasons. One, there was no manpower, two, the education was not there, then three, no civilisation. So, we can restructure so that all the regions could be able to develop at their own rates.

After protests, Felix Tshisekedi quits DRC opposition unity deal

Conte (centre) flanked by al-Serraj (left) and Haftar (right)

Italy’s Libya talks end with commitments but no joint statement An international conference on Libya has ended in the Italian city of Palermo with commitments but no binding agreement by warring factions to a United Nations-led road map envisaging elections next year. In a joint press conference on Tuesday, UN Special Envoy for Libya Ghassan Salame and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte described the two-day summit as a “success” and a “first step in the right direction” - but walked away with no more than verbal pledges. “Palermo was a milestone for Libyans to set a common framework,” Salame said, referring to the plan for a national conference and subsequent elections to be held in the first months of 2019. The UN envoy said renegade General Khalifa Haftar, the most reluctant to engage in the UN-led process, was “committed to support” the proposed road map. However, the summit ended without a written agreement and with no clear timetable either for the national conference or the election process. It was also unclear whether the parties found any common ground with regards to the additional economic and security measures needed to stabilise war-wracked Libya and give respite to its languishing economy in view of the upcoming consultations. More than seven years since a NATObacked uprising toppled longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi, Libya remains deeply fragmented along tribal and ethnic lines and caught up in a spiral of violence at the hands of rival militias.

In addition, the difficulties to enact reforms is exacerbated by the existence of two rival parliaments - the internationally recognised Government of National Accord in the capital, Tripoli, and the eastern-based House of Representatives (HOR). The UN and most of the international community support Fayez al-Serraj, the head of GNA. Al-Serraj, whose administration has been grappling with a prolonged security and economic crisis, has attempted to broaden the base of his political consensus in a bid to salvage his executive. The other front, led by HOR and Haftar, whose self-styled Libyan National Army controls much of eastern Libya, perceives al-Sarraj as incapable of bringing back security to Tripoli as well as to the rest of the country, where rival militias and criminal gangs continue to rule undisturbed. However, Haftar on Tuesday apparently expressed his intention to wait for the national conference and elections to take place, before seeking a forcible change in Tripoli. “You don’t change a horse in midstream,” he was reported as saying to his rival al-Serraj at an informal meeting on the sidelines of the conference. If confirmed, Haftar’s decision may buy time for GNA and the UN mission to improve security measures in Tripoli and across Libya in view of the proposed elections in the spring. “We need to support the current ceasefire and extend it if we are to move the political process forward,” Salame

said in Tuesday’s press conference. In September, the envoy brokered a ceasefire after weeks of clashes between militias in and outside of the capital. For his part, Conte said he regretted that some of the delegates decided to walk out of the the conference, referring to Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay’s withdrawal from the plenary meeting. The Turkish delegation was apparently disappointed at not being invited to join the informal meeting between Haftar and al-Serraj. While the Turkish delegation was reportedly excluded from the session, French Foreign Minister Jean Yves Le Drian, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and various others were in the room. “I am sorry the Turkish delegation decided to leave,” said Conte. “Bringing together 30 countries with a direct or indirect involvement in Libya, means exposing the meeting to different sensitivities. This doesn’t change the positive atmosphere we registered overall.” Sources close to Haftar - believed to be backed by Russia, Egypt and France had expressed his disappointment at the presence of Turkish and Qatari officials at the conference. Conte said his government is ready to assist the stabilisation process both financially and with capacity-building initiatives like the training of security and police forces. He added that Rome Italy had already pledged 1.5m euros ($1.7m) for elections.

Felix Tshisekedi, head of the largest opposition party in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has pulled out of an agreement to field a joint candidate in next month’s crucial presidential elections. The move on Monday cast serious doubt over whether the opposition can defeat Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary, the challenger backed by longtime President Joseph Kabila in the December 23 vote. It came just a day after Tshisekedi signed a pact with six other top opposition figures who chose Martin Fayulu as their single contender after three days of negotiations in the Swiss city of Geneva. But on Monday, Tshisekedi’s Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) party issued a statement which demanded the leader withdraw his signature from the document. “I gather that the agreement reached in Geneva was not accepted by the grassroots and was rejected by them,” Tshisekedi said in an interview with radio station Top Congo later on Monday. “As a result, I am withdrawing my signature from this agreement, which we signed yesterday.” The choice of Fayulu was seen as a surprise development, with Tshisekedi son of longtime opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi - widely regarded as the frontrunner before the announcement. As news spread in the capital, Kinshasa, demonstrators on Monday gathered in the pouring rain to express their discontent outside the UDPS party headquarters. Pierrot Mwanamputu, police spokesperson, told the AFP news agency that the crowd burned effigies and pictures of Tshisekedi, while witnesses

reported seeing them burning tyres. A similar protest took place outside the offices of the UNC, a party headed by Vital Kamerhe, a former National Assembly speaker, who had also been flagged as a possible unity choice in Geneva. Tshisekedi, who has a home in Belgium, has not yet returned to Kinshasa. Earlier, Kabila’s ruling PPRD coalition said it was “not worried” by the choice of Fayulu. “I wonder if they will have time to prepare to face our candidate, who has a team which has been working for many months,” Tunda ya Kasende, the PPRD’s deputy secretary-general, said. The upcoming elections are critical for the future of the DRC, a mineralrich country that has never experienced a peaceful transition of power since it gained independence from Belgium in 1960. Kabila, 47, has been in power since 2001 after the assassination of his father, Laurent-Desire Kabila, the country’s third president. He was elected in 2006 and secured a second term in 2011, though that vote was plagued by allegations of widespread voter fraud. Kabila’s mandate expired in late 2016, but he remained in office after presidential elections were postponed twice. The country has been struggling with various internal conflicts, which forced millions of people from their homes. It has also seen violence and widespread anger over what some saw as Kabila’s refusal to relinquish power after the end of his second full term two years ago.

Tunisia’s parliament approves prime minister’s cabinet reshuffle Tunisia’s parliament has approved a partial cabinet reshuffle proposed by the country’s prime minister last week, including the appointment of a Jewish businessman as tourism minister. The vote on Monday came following a 12-hour marathon session during which Prime Minister Youssef Chahed pleaded for political continuity in the crisisridden North African nation. Rene Trabelsi from the Island of Djerba is set to become the third member of the 2,000 strong

Jewish community to take up a cabinet position since the country’s independence from colonial France in 1956. Key portfolios such as the finance, foreign and interior ministries were kept unchanged. While the ruling Nidaa Tounes party boycotted the session, those present voted overwhelmingly in support of the move, giving Chahed more than the 109 votes needed to prevent his government from collapsing. Chahed’s decision to appoint

13 new ministers last week caused a rift with President Beji Caid Essebsiwho complained about not having had enough time to consider the changes. The president’s son and Nidaa Tounes chief, Hafed Caid Essebsi, has openly expressed his disagreements with the prime minister - who is also a member of the ruling party. He has demanded the prime minister’s resignation over his inability to resolve the country’s economic crisis.

On Monday however, Chahed seemed confident that the reshuffle would allow him to effect the necessary changes to revive the economy. “Since two years we were working under random shelling from friendly fire,” Chahed said in a speech in parliament, a veiled reference to his party leader and rival Hafed Essebsi. “We have not found political support in the reforms and in the fight against corruption, this is no longer possible as we want clarity to move forward in reviving the

economy and ending the political crisis,” he said. The powerful general labour union, the UGTT, expressed its frustration with Chahed’s policies, including a proposal to overhaul loss-making public companies. With unemployment hovering above 15 percent and inflation at eight percent, the Arab world’s newest democracy is struggling to overcome the current political stalemate despite the peaceful transition of power since Ben Ali’s overthrow in 2011.

Argentina wasn’t by my power but through the strength given to me,’’ she said. Concerning her journey as an athlete, she said it had been stressful but she was grateful to God for her achievements. “The journey hasn’t been easy. It has been very stressful but with the help of God, I am improving,’’ Chukwuma said.

Former Egypt forward handed jail sentence for tax evasion Former Egypt forward Mohamed Aboutrika, one of the country’s most famous sportsmen, has been sentenced to a year in jail on charges of tax evasion, local media reported on Tuesday. A commercial and financial crimes court in Cairo passed the sentence against Aboutrika in absentia on Monday, the staterun al-Ahram newspaper reported. The court found Aboutrika guilty of evading taxes on earnings of 710,000

Egyptian pounds ($40,000) for doing advertisements for a soft drinks and a telecoms firm. The paper said the court ordered the former player who now lives in Qatar to pay 20,000 pounds as a bond to turn the prison term into a suspended sentence. Aboutrika, 40, played 100 times for Egypt from 2001-13, scoring 38 goals and helping his country win the African Nations Cup in 2006 and 2008.

Novak Djokovic defends Roger Federer over preferential treatment claims Novak Djokovic has defended Roger Federer over claims the Swiss great enjoys preferential treatment on tour. In an interview with French radio station RMC, Julien Benneteau, the 2014 French Open doubles champion, claimed the 20time Grand Slam winner carried too much influence within the game. Benneteau also voiced his belief that Federer was awarded kinder scheduling and referred to this year’s Australian Open where he played the majority of his matches during the night session. The Frenchman also alluded to Team8 – Federer’s management company – which launched the Laver Cup and has earned the backing of Tennis Australia and the United States Tennis Association, suggesting there are conflicts of interest. Asked for his views on the subject on Monday, after making a winning start to his ATP Finals campaign against John Isner, Djokovic said: “At the end of the day, in a way he deserves the special treatment because he’s sixtime champion of the Australian Open and arguably the best player ever. “If he doesn’t have it, who is going to have it? People want to see him play on the Centre Court, and they want to see him play in showtime, the best hours, which is 7:30 at night on Rod Laver Arena. “I really don’t see a very strong argument there. I understand Julien’s point, because sometimes it does seem that maybe certain players get more favoured year after year in certain tournaments. “You kind of have to follow the pattern to really understand whether there is a case or not. “Again, on the other side, you have to understand that also Federer is a driving force of tennis

in terms of revenue, in terms of attention, in terms of all these different things. “Julien and guys like him are also benefiting from tennis, because of Roger, because of what he has done for the sport.” Isner was also in agreement and added Federer is “men’s tennis” and along with the other leading figures in the game should receive greater privileges. “The top players, they sell the most tickets therefore they should get the most. So I don’t think there’s a favouritism system like that at all,” Isner said. “I think those guys are the ones that, by and large, carry our sport in a big way and they deserve everything they’ve ever earned. “They maybe should get more special treatment, because those guys, the top players, have made other players below them a lot of money. It is like the Tiger Woods effect in golf. “So that is how you can look at a guy like Roger. He is men’s tennis in my opinion. So, he deserves everything and more that he’s ever had.”
