FG realizes N5.2trn from TSA -AGF Tony Ailemen & Mathew Dadiya Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Accountant Gen-

eral of the Federation (AGF), Ahmed Idris, Monday revealed how the present administration was able to realize the sum of N5.244 trillion from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy of the Federal government. The AGF attributed the successes recorded under the policy to the quality of leadership provided by President Muhammadu Buhari, which he described as rare courage and political will. The AGF made this disclosure during his welcome Address at the opening of a two- day retreat on the one year of the TSA’s implementation ( the benefits, challenges and way forward) being organised by his office at the International Conference Centre, Abuja from 14-15 February, 2017. Mr. Idris said the policy has so far realized N5.244 Trillion as inflows following the moping -up and direct debits of accounts by the Central bank of Nigeria, CBN. Idris further said that TSA has eliminated multiple banking arrangements in the Ministries Departments and Agencies(MDAs) and resulted in the con-

solidation of over 200,000 bank accounts which were spread in deposit money banks across the country . “TSA has equally brought transparency , effective tracking of government revenue as well as blocked leakages and abuse in management of Government finances. “ TSA implementation has taken us out of the era of indiscriminate borrowings by MDAs and saved government charges associated with borrowing which amounted to about N4.7 billion prior to full implementation of TSA “ the AGF said. The AGF also revealed that given the considerable gains so far recorded in the TSA implementation, there was need to evaluate the programme and come up with best ways of improving the policy, which is the reason for the retreat. He gave assurance that government was considering going beyond the cash management of TSA but will explore other viable economic options of resource utilization and deployment especially in this era of economic recession. In a speech to declare open the retreat, the Ag. President Prof Yemi Osibanjo , represented by the Special Adviser on Economic Affairs , Dr. Adeyemi, Dipelu, congratulated the Office of the Accoun-

tant-General of the Federation and its partners, particularly the International Monetaey Fund( IMF) and the World Bank for their successful implementation of the TSA. He underscored the importance of the TSA scheme as being instrumental to the efficient management of public finances and pledged government’s commitment towards ensuring improvement in the implementation of the Programme. Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, in her speech highlighted the benefits of the TSA, saying that it has enhanced greater opportunity in exercising better control over the financial base of MDAs and allows for critical decisions to be made. Mrs. Adeosun, explained that attempts are being made to expand the scheme by engaging statutory co -operations to come on board in order to adopt the scheme but identified the major challenge as the uncooperative attitude of some Deposit Money Banks who are still keeping some government funds in their custody. She, however, said that government has been engaging them on the need to transfer funds without identity to the TSA and for the recalcitrant ones, government was making ef-

forts to engage auditors to keep a tab on such funds. There were presentations from Managing director of Access Bank, Mr Herbert Wigwe and representative of the Governor of Anambra state and syndicate sessions which provided the platform for brainstorming on the way forward. In a related development, the Accountant-General of the Federation, commended the International Monetary Fund for their interest and continued support in developing better public financial Management practice in the Country. A statement by the Director of Press in the office of the AGF, Mrs. Offie Kene, said Idris made this remark at an interactive session between the management of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) and a team from the IMF, who were at the Treasury on Technical Assistance Mission, aimed at strengthening Cash flow forecasting and Cash Management. AGF noted that the mission has been very enriching and mutually beneficial for both the OAGF team, the IMF, saying that while the capacity and skills of the OAGF team have been enhanced in the area of cash management, cash forecasting and TSA, the IMF team on their part have equally gained a lot.

ÏÏÏ The House of Representatives committee on Aviation has blasted aviation agencies over poor implementation of projects captured under the 2016 budget. The committee, also, observed that some specialised projects already captured in the budget of the ministry, was also duplicated under the projects captured by some agencies, thereby duplicating funding for the affected projects. Chairman of the committee,Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, specifically decried comments by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport Alh. Sabiu Zakari, who said the ministry wouldn’t monitor any contractors. The committee, however, advised that specialised projects that are under each department should be domiciled in these departments, as the ministry has the advisory role to supervise ensure that due process are observed. This, according to Onyejeocha, is to duplication of

efforts and multiplication of funds. The Permanent Secretary had stated that the contractual agreement for every contracts clearly spell out sanction for erring contractors and the ministry does not need to mount pressure on the contractors. “I cannot sit at the ministry, award a contract to a contractor, with all the conditinalities attached and you still expect me to tell the contractors what the prons and cons are. Even when it is stated in the contract agreement, it means I don’t have work, that is why the agreement is there,” he said. Zakari identified the flexible foreign exchange rate and paucity of fund as major factor affecting proper adherence to the Public Procurement Act. “For example, this Nigeria Airspace Management Agency, (NAMA), their 2016 budget was N4.3billion, as at today, February, 2017, only N730 million has been released. How do you now accuse a contractor, who you awarded contact of about N1.2 billion of not performing,” he asked.

Fayose accuses FG of plans to cripple Ekiti State Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti

ÏÏÏ Ekiti

State governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose has cried out over an alleged plan of the Federal Government to cripple the state through withholding of the January statutory allocation to it, so as to make “it impossible for the government to carry out its statutory financial obligations” in the state. Addressing journalists in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, Fayose who alleged that “two weeks ago, some top functionaries of the APC in Ekiti State met in Abuja where it was decided that renewed efforts should be made to cripple the state,” added that “It was agreed that the federal government must be made to stop all intervention funds to Ekiti State while the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be used to cripple the finances of contractors handling government legacy projects.”

The governor stated that the game plan is that the moment workers do not receive their salary, “they will hate me and my party, the PDP and this they believe will translate to votes for them in 2018. “This new onslaught against Ekiti State and its people started with the stoppage of the state’s January allocation and statutory budget support fund.” According to him, “While all states in Nigeria received their full allocation from the federation account last month, the budget support fund was not released to Ekiti State, thereby making it impossible for the state to meet its financial obligations, most especially the payment of salaries. “Three weeks after Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting, they have refused to tell us why they denied Ekiti State of the statutory allocation, and our letter to the Minister of Finance was ignored.

cial prayers for the quick recovery of the president, who the federal government insists, is well, hale and hearty. The prayer session, which took place in Bauchi, was organized by Senator Ali Wakili of Bauchi South Senatorial district. But our source, who confirmed that the president has “serious health issues,” said that his doctors are however doing everything they can to enable him recover quickly, adding that they will not allow him to leave hospital until he is fully fit for the rigors of his office. “Let me tell you, the president is sick. There is no doubt about that and no one should expect him in less than one month from now.” Our source continues, “The president will be away for more than one month, at least, to enable him recover fully.” Daily Times also reliably gathered, yesterday, that top political stakeholders in the north are praying fervently for his quick recovery. This is even as the Senior Special Assistant, Media to the President, Garba Shehu, said yesterday on a live Television programme that the President was no longer enjoying his vacation abroad and so will be back anytime soon. Our source, however, noted that it is in the interest of the north that the president comes out of his present condition, hale and healthy, and as soon as possible, too. “We are worried that if the present administration does not get its acts together and do something substantial by the end of this year, there will be problem for the party.” Speaking on the power configuration within the politics, the

source noted that it will be expedient for the north to complete its tenure with President Muhammadu Buhari. “Truly, northern stakeholders do not want power to elude us now, because this may cause another problem in the country,” our source revealed. Daily Times also gathered that since the reported health challenges of President Buhari, the political camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been jittery, as they are afraid that the Bola Tinubu’s camp might take over affairs of the party. The president had on Monday afternoon, spoken in a telephone conversation with American President Donald Trump, according to his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Femi Adesina. The conversation was also, ac-

cording to our source, very reassuring as it helped address fears on the president’s health. Those who took turn to speak at the special prayer, including former member, Bauchi State House of Assembly, who is also a legisla-

well as Honorable Jibrin Aliyu Tafida, appealed to Muslim faithful not to relent in prayers for the peace, unity and progress of the country. They emphasised that it is the duty of Muslims to pray for leaders and not to criticize them based on health related issues. Hon Aliyu said the essence of the meeting was to specifically pray to God to grant President Buhari speedy recovery and for his safe return to the country. “The prayer is specifically

meant to implore God to re-enact back those values, which Nigerians in particular are noted for, especially respect for human values and prayers for our leaders,” he said. He also condemned the death wishes making the rounds on social media concerning the health of the president, saying that death is not only meant for the elderly. “Those speculating the death of someone, his or her business are rather putting their own life and business at risk because the law of nature will befall them,” he warned. The religious leaders said since leadership comes from God, it was only God that holds “our collective destiny as a people and our prayers will go a long way to determine the performance and

qualities of our leaders.” An Islamic preacher in the state, Sheik Babangida Suleiman, Chief Imam of Abu Huraira Mosque, GRA, Bauchi, commended the lawmaker for bringing the clerics together to pray, stressing that Allah alone could rid the country out of the present economic recession as well as grant the president good health and strength. He advised Nigerians to desist from sycophancy, rumour mongering or praying for the president to die, pointing out that such bad habits could trigger chaos and crisis in the society. Also speaking, the Chief Imam of Wambai Juma’at Mosque Malam Babangida Zubairu, urged Nigerians to be patient with the Continued on page 12

TUC kicks against hike in fare of BRT, LAGBUS Joy Ekeke

ÏÏÏ The Trade Union Congress

of Nigeria (TUC) has kicked against the announcement of a hike in BRT and LAGBUS fares on the basis that operators are already making enough profits out of the monopoly. In a statement by the TUC, the chairman of its Lagos state chapter, Comrade Francis Ogunremi, condemned the increment in transport fare of the BRT and LAGBUS buses approved by the Lagos state government and announced on Monday by the Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) Mr. Abiodun Dabiri. “The Lagos state council feels pained that such bus fare increment, which translates into hardship in all sphere of life, could be

undertaken at this critical point that there is economic hardship occasioned by failure of governance.” “We therefore insist that this fare hike is insensitive, wicked, ungodly and draconian, to say the least. The move further exposes the state government as being completely out of touch with the realities of the suffering of the masses of the state.” It will be recalled that the TUC, its counterpart, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the civil society bodies were forced to stage a protest rally last week because of the pains Nigerians are going through; unfortunately, the state government appears indifferent of our plight. According to Ogunremi, “it has become instructive to state that the BRT and LAGBUS are monop-

olistic undertakings of some private individuals and moneybags; who contrary to fair practice are unduly allocated a section of the public road to the detriment of other people in transport business. We submit that the business is viable at the prevailing fares due to the untenable principle of monopoly, as the single largest transport system at the heart of Lagos. And that approval of 2050% fare hike as an error must be corrected through the withdrawal of the increment. “The unilateral nature of the increment without due consultation with other stakeholders including the TUC to examine all the issues related to the increment is condemnable. Hence the Lagos State Council of TUC hereby calls on Governor Ambode to correct his mistake by withdrawing the

approval immediately.” On Monday, the Lagos state government approved an increment of between 20 and 50 per cent in fares on different routes along the operational corridors in the state. According to the Managing Director/CEO LAMATA, Engineer Abiodun Dabiri, the increment became necessary due to the economic downturn, which has affected financial projections of the operators. “The increment in fares will affect the three major operators in the state such as Primero Bus Service, managers of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT), Bus Franchise Scheme (BFS), and LAGBUS. Dabiri, stressed that “Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has approved a fare increase for the three operators effective from Wednesday March 1, 2017. The

average increases approved range from 20 per cent to 50 per cent on different routes. “In approving the fare increase, government weighed the justification of the operators for the increase vis-à-vis the effect on the commuters.” “The current financial crunch however has seen an average cost of operations increase to up to about 110 per cent. With cost of fueling going up by 71 per cent, oil prices up by 64 per cent, tyre costs up by 90 per cent, continued operations is thereby threatened,” he said. He said the government recognised the current financial difficulty being experienced by Lagosians and assured public transport users of government’s protection from arbitrary increase.

N1.64b fraud: Ex Gov Nyame has case to answer, says Court Andrew Orolua, Abuja The high court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Gudu District on Tuesday ruled that former Taraba state governor, Jolly Nyame have questions to answer on allegations of N1.64 billion fraud preferred against him.

Time for peace, not war, Osinbajo tells Niger Delta youths Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt The Acting President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has appealed to the Niger Delta youths engaged in acts of violence to do a turn around, saying that it was time for peace and not wars, if the region would be developed. Prof. Osinbajo made the appeal on Tuesday, during the special interaction with stakeholders of the region on the ways to attain the desired development of the Niger Delta.

This is the time to make peace so that we can derive all the benefits the government has for us all.” The Acting President continued: “We should maintain peace; the Buhari government is committed to changing the narrative in the Niger Delta. Our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is going to achieve everything that we have said we will achieve, by the grace of God and you will be extremely proud of this great party.

Imo oil communities marginalised –Osinbajo Val Okara, Owerri

Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo Tuesday said that Imo State has been marginalised as an oil producing state in the country. Osinbajo who stated this when he paid a visit to the state chairman of traditional rulers’ council, HRM Eze Samuel Ohiri in his palace in Owerri promised that the federal government would redress the ugly trend. He told the royal fathers, who were joined by the political elites and other stakeholders at the palace that the state would receive

fair treatments from the federal government going forward. “My visit here is in continuation of the consultation which Mr President said I should do to all the states of the Niger Delta, and I can say that the oil producing communities of Imo have been largely ignored.” The Acting President however assured that the federal government would look at the ways to redress the injustice done the area by paying more attention to the state. On the issue of unfair appointment and allocation of projects raised by Gov. Rochas Okorocha

, Osinbajo said that it was not correct that President Muhammadu Buhari was not fair to the people of the state, “You said that the highest appointment given to Imo under Buhari was minister of state education, I will like to equally inform you that Katsina State, the home state of Mr President, and Kaduna State where Buhari resides all have ministers of states. “If there is any governor in this country that has the listening ear of Mr President, I will say that it is Gov. Okorocha and it is not correct for the governor to say that the state is marginalised by APC

led federal government.” Governor Okorocha had earlier in his speech said that the people of the state have not been fairly treated in terms of appointments and project allocation by the Buhari administration. He said that even though the state entrenched APC in the South-East and fought political battles that brought victory to the party in 2015, it had little or nothing to show for their effort. Okorocha said, “if you take better look at the situation of Imo, not appointment and allocation of infrastructures could Imo people boast of being better treated by the federal government.” He noted that apart from Minister of State Education which was the highest political appointment given to the state, it cannot boast of any federal presence by the present administration. Daily Times reports that Osinbajo was accompanied on the visit by the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of state education, Prof. Anthony Anwuka, Minister of state, Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu and other dignitaries.

Ignore Buhari’s purported discussion with Trump, group tells Nigerians Alphonsus Nweze, Awka Nigerians have been asked to take with a pinch of salt or totally ignore the purported discussion of the United States of America President, Donald Trump, with the ailing Nigerian president, Mohammed Buhari. The International Society for Civil Society and Rule of Law, in a statement in Onitsha, Anambra state faulted the statement signed by Buhari’s Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, which was carried by national dailies. The group in a statement by its chairman of Board of Trustees (BoT), Comrade Emeka Umeagbalasi, said that the only way the report can be believed was that White House spokesman in Washington DC, confirms the matter. Urging Nigerians to ignore the

statement as one of those propaganda materials from the Presidency, the group said that not even the United States Embassy in Nigeria was competent to speak on the matter. “This is because of the likelihood of the Embassy been contaminated by trending presidential virus or falsehood or in the name of diplomatic pressures. Funny enough the same Adesina who signed this statement barely know where his boss is and suddenly he appears in his presence to record what he discussed with President Trump,” said Intersociety. They said that with the intrigues and dramas associated with Buhari’s sickness and his whereabout, the latest statement was more disturbing because of its potential to spark-off diplomatic rows between Nigeria and the

new administration in the US. The group opined: “Such farreaching diplomatic conversation can only take place between two mentally coherent and bodily agile presidents, and if the Nigerian President is fit, why is he not on seat in Nigeria?” They argued that if President Trump must talk to the Nigerian president, it should be the acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, since Buhari has transferred presidential powers and functions to him. “Most importantly and strikingly, the statement under reference is monolithic in source, having only come from the Adesina who is co-enmeshed in trending presidential falsehood and associated in dramas in Nigeria concerning the where about and the health status of President Buhari,” the BoT boss of Intersociety said.

Lagos Assembly Urges Osinbajo, NASS to re-open Ondo Assembly Alade Tasma

The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday called on the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and the leadership of the National Assembly to urgently reopen the Ondo State House of Assembly. The lawmakers also urged outgoing Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko to ensure smooth legislative activities, saying the existence of a Governor in office lies with having a parliament in place. The House resolution was sequel to a motion moved by Hon. Bisi Yusuff representing Alimosho constituency 01 during Matters of Urgent Public Importance. “Ondo Assembly has been under lock and key- this is not right; it is condemnable. It is never known in this country where the office of executive or judiciary is locked. “It is not acceptable; there should be a lasting solution to what is happening to a very important arm of government,” Yusuff said. Supporting the motion, the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa who presided over the plenary explained that “whatever happens to either the eye or nose, the other suffers. We are one! It has become common practice in the country where the parliament is made to suffer. “If the police insist on shutting down the House, let them also shut down the executive so that we know there is no civil rule in Ondo State,” Obasa stated. The Chief Whip, Hon. Rotimi Abiru who expressed worried that this is happening when the State should be transiting. appealed to the Nigeria police to reconsider their action saying the

act is a bad signal to democracy. Hon. Segun Olulade said the development in Ondo State House of Assembly could be seen as planning a coup against the people of the state. The chairman, Education committee in the House, Hon. Olanrewaju Ogunyemi in his submission said the nauseating aspect of the issue was that it was ordered by the Inspector General of police, adding the IG should know his call institutional responsibility. Hon. Jude Idimogu PDP member however, urged his colleagues not to allow the executive arm to disrupt activities of Houses of Assembly urged them to learn from the case of Ondo Assembly.

Religious leaders Senate Mandates NACA, NPHCDA to meet in Jos interface with HIV/AIDS cure claimant reach consensus Chris Emetoh, Abuja Against the outright dismissal by the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, (NACA) of an HIV/AIDS cure claim by a Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Abia State, Professor Maduike Ezeibe, the Senate Committee on Primary Health Care and Communicable diseases, has urged relevant government agencies including NACA and the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) to interface with the cure claimant in order to subject his claim through scientific means. The Committee led by Sena-

tor Mao Ohuabunwa on Tuesday during the 2017 budget defence session of NPHCDA inquired into reasons why the agencies have refused to dialogue with the professor before dismissing his claims without going through normal scientific measures in ascertaining or disproving such studies, in accordance with world standards. It will be recalled that NACA had penultimate week in a statement said there was no basis for a claim to the cure of AIDS as described in the study presented by Ezeibe. Director General of NACA, Dr Sani Aliyu, in the statement said “The claim for a HIV/AIDS cure is not new. It is also not new to find a scientist using ambigu-

Brutalised physically challenged man: Umahi demands sacking, trial of 2 soldiers ÏÏÏ

Governor of Ebonyi, Mr. David Umahi, has demanded the dismissal of two soldiers who brutalised a physically-challenged man, Mr. Chijioke Oraku, in Onitsha, Anambra state. Oraku, a native of Ikwo Local Government Area was dehumanised by the two soldiers penultimate week for wearing army camouflage. The video of the brutalisation went viral thereby attracting national outrage that made the Army authorities to demote the soldiers and sentence them to 21 days in detention. Umahi, who received Oraku during the state’s Executive Council meeting in Abakaliki on Tuesday, noted that the sanctions meted to the soldiers were mild going by the fact that they “did not behave like human beings.”

The governor, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya, said: “We believe that 21-day imprisonment is not enough. The soldiers did not behave like human beings and to be demoted is not enough “I suggest to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.- Gen. Buratai, that those soldiers should be sacked from the army and be prosecuted immediately.” Umahi, who however thanked Burutai for taking the actions against the soldiers, directed the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Benard Odoh, to write a letter demanding the dismissal and prosecution of the soldiers. He was also full of praises for his Anambra State counterpart, Willie Obiano, for his quick intervention in this matter. The governor said, “I want to

thank the Governor of Anambra State for his quick intervention in this matter. I was very happy when he reacted immediately and rehabilitated the young man. I also want to commend the Chief of Army Staff for the disciplinary action so far taken against those two soldiers. I thank the people of Anambra and Ebonyi who followed up on this matter. “But we are going to take a picture of him (Oruku) and send to the COAS to demand the sacking and prosecution of those soldiers who carried such unprofessional act. “I believe that the army has to be disciplined in their conduct. We must insist that discipline is maintained in our society. “If enough punishment is not meted on those two soldiers, they would still carry out the same act.”

ous scientific methods and practices to buttress this claim, and to find obscure journals increasingly prepared to publish these claims.” Ezeibe according to media reports said that the drug with “Aluminum Magnesium Silicate” was tested on 10 persons living with HIV. It was also reported to that the drug has a clinical outcome of an ability to “reach all cells” and making HIV “a conquered organism.” The Senate Committee’s members had since the beginning of this week rued on the possibility of interfacing with the cure claimant to further verify his claims to be either true or false. On Monday, the committee questioned on the rationale behind NACA’s dismissal of the claim without recourse to Ezeibe. Similarly, on Tuesday, The Senate committee queried the Executive Secretary of NPHCDA Dr. Faisal Shuaib if he was aware of the claim to which he replied in the affirmative. Shuaib said he was in agreement with his NACA counterpart that the study quoted by Ezeibe did not conform with standard ethical protocols for clinical trials. The NACA DG (Aliyu) told the committee that the study quoted by Ezeibe did show evidence that he obtained ethical clearance from an appropriate body in Nigeria to conduct the study, and only quoted only ambiguous evidence that informed consent was sought from the evidently vulnerable patients. “We are concerned that the publicity given to these claims will stop patients from taking life-saving antiretrovirals and give them false hope of a cure. It will be a great disservice to this vulnerable group of patients for the media to disseminate these claims in absence of sound scientific evidence.”

ÏÏÏ

Religious leaders in Plateau state, yesterday met in Jos the state capital under the auspices of ‘Search for Common Ground,’ a non-governmental organization (NGO) and issued a Statement. Communiqué instituting protection on Holy Sites within the North Central Region, a code that was adopted and endorsed by senior religious leaders from over ten faiths and numerous religious institutions world over. The communique tagged ‘Joint Interfaith Statement on Building Consensus on the Protection of Holy Sites And The Universal Code Of Conduct on Holy Sites’, stipulated that the Code encourages religious leaders, traditional institutions and other interfaith bodies to consider it as a template for cooperation to confront the need to protect Holy Sites as a socially compelling imperative. The two-day zonal meeting with Christians and Muslim Religious leaders from four states of north- central Nigeria comprising Niger, Kaduna Nasarawa and Plateau states, held on 13th and 14th February, 2017, examined the Provisions of the Universal Code of Conduct, which contains 10 articles on the protection of holy places. Places regarded as sacred, according to the communique, includes mosques, churches, cemeteries and synagogues. The code, however, provides that such places should be preserved and protected against all violence and desecration. The secretary of Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI), Mr. Sani Mudi, who read the statement, also observed that vices leading to violence and hate speeches must also be nipped in the bud to arrest desecration of holy sites.

Plateau PDP allege imposition of LG party chairman Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

Sen. Ningi

The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said it has discovered a plan to impose one Funturu Domnan as the PDP chairman of Langtang South LGC. Our correspondent’s findings revealed that stakeholders from Langtang South had complained that congress were not held in Langtang South LGC due to security reasons and yet a name was purportedly filled in as the winner of the election that was not held. Investigation further revealed that the caucus has expressed

dismay over a letter written by Sen. Abdul Ningi giving reasons why one Funturu Domnana should be recognised as the chairman of PDP Langtang South. According to a statement signed by Mr. Nanbol Joseph and made available to our reporter in Jos, which read in part, “this is totally unacceptable as the reasons enumerated in the letter of Sen. Abdul Ningi to the state party chairman did not reflect the true position of what happened regarding the chairmanship position. Sen. Ningi, a member, National Caretaker Committee for Organi-

zation and Mobilization, in a letter addressed to the state party chairman, Hon. DT Sango, said the facts on ground do not justify the conduct of a fresh LGC congress in Langtang South. According to the letter, the way forward is to appeal to stakeholders to close ranks, build a team spirit and rally round the LGC executive in an effort to move the party forward in the area. Sango had in a letter addressed to the Acting National Chairman of the party through the national organising secretary requested that a fresh LGC congress be conducted for Langtang South PDP executive committee.

The caucus also strongly advice that no individual should be recognised as the party chairman for Langtang South LGC until investigation has been duely conducted and completed, adding that they will not accept any imposition unless the right thing is done. Nanbol Joseph therefore appeal to the national secretariat of the party to as a matter of urgency draw the attention of Plateau PDP state chairman who is alleged to have been in possession of a letter seeking to confirm Domnan not to do so for the sake of peace and equity in the area.

Finding solution to marginalisation of Ndiigbo, a politicians perspective Titus Eleweke A Lagos based business man and a chieftain of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Prince George Ndubisi has called on Ndi Igbo to come together and speak with one voice, if they want to end marginalisation of the South Easterners in the country. Prince Ndubisi who spoke with Daily Times in Lagos said that the only way for Ndi Igbo to be integrated into the nation’s mainstream and end the much talked about marginalisation was for the elites if the zone to be united among themselves and speak with one voice. “When you compare the South East with the South West and North, you will discover that Ndi Igbo don’t speak with one voice. Igbos are polarised and balkanized along their political and personal interests. Look at what is happening between the Anambra State governor and his Imo State counterpart. The first thing, the Igbos need to do now is to come together and speak with one voice to present a common front. Splinter groups cannot solve Ndi Igbo problem. “If the Igbos do not come together as one, there is no way we can present a common goal for Igbos’ interest. So long as we are divided as we are today, there is no how we will not be marginalized. As it stands today we cannot present a man for president of the country” he said. Prince Ndubisi who is the immediate past Public Relations Officer of National Association of Government Approved Freight and Forwarders (NAGAFF) said there is no doubt Ndi Igbo are being marginalized He said “If you look at the state of Nigeria today under President Muhammadu Buhari, there no Igbo man that is heading any agency and parastatal. No Igbo man is heading the military, air force and navy. “There is no Igbo man that is occupying a very strategic position in the present t government. There is no agency in the country today that is being headed by Igbo, in fact all the ministers from

When you compare the South East with the South West and North, you will discover that Ndi Igbo don’t speak with one voice. Igbos are polarised and balkanized along their political and personal interests. Look at what is happening between the Anambra State governor and his Imo State counterpart.

Prince Ndubisi

Igbo extraction are not heading any juicy ministry, they have lesser capital project when compared to others. There are no good roads in the whole of the South East today. If you look at the whole system in the country today there is no how one will not conclude that the Igbos are being marginalized and also rated as second class citizens. There is no meaningful project going on the whole of the South East ‘’ He said all the agitations by the IPOB and other groups from the South East are clear manifestation of marginalization of Ndi Igbo in the country and the only way it can be stopped is when the Igbos get their fair share in the Nigeria enterprises . “To me, I have been able to analysis the IPOB and MASSOB agitations, and came to a conclusion that what gave birth to these groups’ agitations are that Ndi Igbo are so much marginalized in the Nigeria enterprise. My take about these

groups is that they are just fighting for the place of the Igbo in the Nigeria project,” he said. On the Ndiigbo seceding from Nigeria, he said there is no way the states from the South East who are dependent on the allocations from the federal government could be planning for secession. “We cannot say we want to go when we are dependent on federal government allocation for survival” he added. He however blamed the Igbo elites for not speaking up for the interest of the Igbo in Nigeria, saying that by the look of things Igbo elites are not protecting the interests of the Igbos at national level. According to him, it appears that everybody is pursuing his or her personal interest, which most often results in sharp disagreement and infighting among themselves. He also noted that if Ndi igbo get the Biafara state as being agitated, there will still be problems

because an Anambra man will not allow the Imo man to be his president while Abia man will say we struggled for this independent and now Imo man wants to be president . Ndubisi also said that if the Biafra state eventually comes to be, there will be more problems among the Igbo because every state will like to produce the president first, adding that the Igbos are not matured for independence now. “If we secede that is when the real war will come, we are going to get a bigger war among the Igbos and the other tribes that make up the South East,” he stated According to him, the Igbo elites are not speaking up either in support or against the IPOB agitation because most of them are afraid of being labeled anti Igbo by the IPOBs members and secessionist by the federal government. He further said that some of the Igbo elites are not speaking up because they are still benefiting from the same system and, supporting IPOB publicly would be interpreted that they are supporting secession and it will be dangerous for them On why Igbo are not participating in active politics, he said that he does not agree that Igbo man is only interested in commerce, saying that Igbo are interested in both politics and commerce. “There is political consciousness among Ndi Igbo, though they have some commerce inclinations because immediately after the civil war, every Igbo man went into commerce since there was no job for him in the Nigeria government. They needed to survive and they have to do something to survive. “You recall that at the end of the war every Igbo man was given 20 pounds and had no opportunity to work with the government. That does not mean that the Igboman does not venture into politics, when you go back, before the civil war, there were great men like Zik of Africa , Michael Okpara and many others who participated actively in Nigeria politics. There is no how you can say the Igbos are generally into commerce with less interest in politics” he said.

Present recession in Nigeria, result of many years of lack of planning -Sen Buhari We want to find out some of the provisions for cyber/security and e-governance in this 2017 budget. We know that Nigeria has been embarking on e-governance for some time now. At a point I think it was about 70 percent complete, but it looks like the completion period is one that keeps dragging and I thought that we should have been through with this automation? Well, without jumping the gun. So far so good with the e-governance thing, if you remember very well it is a project between Nigerian government and South Korea. In fact I am one of the beneficiaries, because I was in South Korea last April and as at the time we went in last April they have gone almost about 50-55 percent. At that time what was delaying it was our own counterpart funding. What delays most counterpart funding is always Nigerian government when they are not putting on the table their own counterpart funding. I am happy to inform you that last year November we had a seminar here in Nigeria at the International Conference Centre when the Korean people came and they were telling us that it’s almost about 75 percent. So, if from April to November and early December this year we have about 25 percent additional you can see that we are really moving forward. Coming to this year’s budget, the Minister of Communication is slated for next week when they come we would see the nitty gritty of what they are presenting and I am assuring you that it is one of their own babies too that they are eager to follow. If we now find out that the amount they are putting there is small and you know the new budget you can move in from capital to capital, but you cannot move in from capital to recurrent. Fortunately, I am a member of the appropriations and it is one of the few things I will put my eyes on because it will help and save a lot of things in Nigeria. On the cyber-security that you asked, we have not gone far. It is sad for me to inform you that in the last one and half years, I have been trying to call all the stakeholders and we have been shifting it at their own instance, two times that we want a public hearing, a national conference on cyber-security I was able to open my eyes on that in the sense that we have the capacity. When we are doing our oversight functions we went to Galaxy Backbone, NITDA, NMS and NIGCOMSAT; I was

As the National Assembly busies itself with the work of the 2017 appropriations budget by engaging the MDAs, CSOs and other stakeholders in public hearings and budget defence sessions with a view to passing the bill early enough, Senator Abdulfatai Buhari (Oyo North) in this Interview with CHRIS EMETOH, discusses governments plans on cyber-security, e-governance among other issues in the 2017 budget.

Buhari shocked with the type of equipment they have over there. I said some few minutes ago that when we were in Korea I asked my counterpart, Liu Chon who was the chairman senate on ICT and cybercrime in Korea that what is the rate of attack in your cyberspace, he said

zero percent and I now asked him how, he said they have gatekeeper. They don’t allow you to enter the cyberspace, so from the gate you are knocked off, they are blocking and at any point in time 24/7 their gatekeeper is working and they concentrated more on the attack of the

I am even blaming not only the past government, I am blaming Nigerians generally even in our way of life, we never take things serious. We never planned, even forget about government. In every individual home, the way we do things is with lackadaisical attitude. They say make hay while the sun shine, when the boom was there in the early 70s we were there increasing salaries instead of increasing infrastructure.

gatekeeper even like inside. If you can’t get in automatically it’s zero percent. They now showed us a film at their security site, you can now see attack coming from China and Russia in particular but at the gate they are always hitting them. Coincidentally, in the same place they showed us Africa’s site where there were so many attacks entering from different angles. When we now came back to the country, during our oversight functions I now went to Galaxy Backbone that happens to be one of the agencies under me. I was shocked that we have that type of equipment, he was also talking about gatekeeper, then why are we not using it, they said they needed some money to be able to get that equipment to get the gate keeping, if not all what they are trying to do is to block.

Is the problem actually with the government funding or the capacity of Galaxy Backbone? One funny thing with technology, technology is every seconds, not even every minute, the way technology has reached now. So, at any point in time by the time you say you are moving they have already advanced and moved to another place. We need to be very serious as a nation. Let me give you an example, I think a week ago, a colleague of mine, Senator Dino Melaye came with a motion and he was raising something on our cyberspace. He said they brought a genocide that happened in Rwanda in the early 80’s and it shows that it happened in southern Kaduna. In normal circumstances I think if we had this gate keeper it will filter it out and it’s one of the reasons why as a committee we are trying to bring a bill on cyber-crime and cyberspace so that Galaxy Backbone or relevant agencies that they operate from the office of the NSA they will be able to filter what comes into our system. Even all over the world there is always an attack, but you can filter it and it’s what you want people to see that you allow, but they need a law to back it up to be able to work. Look at the social media, everywhere all over the world social media is a strength, but in Nigeria we are not using it to the maximum, even the social media journalists online some of them are what I call junk paper. For God sake if there is sanction it is wrong for any paper that is worth it to report something that is false and you will use your own stupidity to kill the integrity of others even when there are genuine news people will now use it against you and say that is how they are, but if there is what is called association or censorship it will be able to control what comes in, what filters out; people will not use it as a place to attack a colleague, but they will rather use it as a place where they can improve the country. You are a member of the Appropriation committee and the 2017 budget is ongoing. We are looking at committees meeting with MDAs, some people have argued that the budget itself is called budget of recovery, but CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Years of lack of planning, cause of Present recession CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

within the proposal there is no provision to actually enhance the lives of Nigerians, which areas should give the people hope? Well, I disagree a bit with you in the sense that we met for the first time two days ago, that’s the budget committee. They just gave us a breakdown of the budget, I have gotten mine and I just brought it back this morning. I will be able to answer that after going through everything, but you know budget is not something any individual can say I can see from page to page, not even the director of budget. But there is one thing I am happy about in this year’s budget, the benchmark of oil, because it is saying that you can sell your oil with the benchmark of $45 per barrel and as of today it is about $55. Probably by the time we finish all things being equal we get it at $60 per barrel which means we have excess of chunk bunk of $15 and we are getting to control where we have it and then you multiply it by whatever difference we have that will be able to solve some problems. But we need to solve our own internal problems, with that alone it will give hope and it will be budget of recovery truly. I agree with the Emir of Kano when he said a country cannot strive or grow when you have 3 or 4 different exchange rates for dollar, I absolutely agree with him. We need to be seen as a serious country and that is don’t decide what dollar rate would be, allow the market forces liberalise it. I remember when we were in secondary school in the 80s, there was this book, O.A Lawal where they will tell you equilibrium, just a simple economy, but make sure that all what you should do is that you look inwards, shut your doors and when you do that the only way you can survive is that you must consume only what you produce. There is a lot of talk about local content in the President’s speech when he came to present the budget. Now, it doesn’t seem that we are seeing much of that happening? You cannot say that because we have not finished it, let’s finish it. He has presented it and we would be able to go through them and by the time we go through them we will see. I remember last year the budget even before takeoff we had already started having turbulence like padding etc. But if you look at it this year the way so far the planning is something that is a bit okay. Like I said you can only get the impact of any budget all over the world based on implementation. If this is what you plan then you are able to achieve your implementation of your budget above 80 percent, because anywhere in the world 70 percent is a pass mark. Even the last budget give it to them they achieved over 70 percent which is something that is very

Buhari new. I remember since I was in the House of Representatives, budget is normally below 20 to 30 percent, in fact they will tell you what will you do. So, the impact of last year’s budget we would be able to see it by the time we start implementing this one, but you will have to follow the contributions of our colleagues when we are doing the general principle of the budget. Like when I was making my own contribution I said one thing, don’t allow the budget of particular year to overlap to another year and the moment you do that you have created problems for yourselves. So, implement whatever you want to implement within the limit of their time so that you will know where you have your shortfall. Fundamentally, you can see the last year budget and be able to lay what is called a foundation and if we are able to prepare this one too and implement it, because you must not get a negative growth more than twice if not you won’t come out of recession. All over the world the definition of recession is when you have a negative growth twice and all what you need is to interject and push to zero; when you

now push to zero at least when you are stable in zero but the time you do 1,2 or 3 budgets a day and you start moving to positive and that is the simple thing but it’s discipline. The discipline to do it is only the problem we have and I hope we would be able to do it. Lack of seriousness on the part of the government is actually creating opportunity for the so called ‘yahoo,yahoo boys’ to buy into this and start painting the image of Nigeria black, based on your earlier answer on cybersecurity? You see the case of ‘yahoo yahoo boys’ at times and the funny thing is they even have an association. We wrote them a letter that instead of doing ‘yahoo yahoo’ to defraud other countries and give our country a bad image, why can’t you follow people like Facebook and do what they are doing. Look at the young chap that was able to discover Facebook, Instagram and other social media, they were able to make name and make money. You can even use that your talent to create awareness for others. Unfortunately for us, they used that talent to defraud and give the

country a very bad image and that is the one that is not acceptable. There is a law in this country that was signed by former President Goodluck Jonathan in May, just like five days or six days before he left on cyber crime. Most people did not know that this law exist, but by the time we are able to do the public hearing, then the conference and we are able to amend the law, there would be what we call censorship, there would be what we call purifying social media in areas where people just use it anyhow. We must remember one thing, this country is greater than any individual, our country is first, so we are not saying anybody should not do business, you can do business, you can do a lot of transactions, but the fear of the unknown, of people attacking you must be addressed. Let me give you an example of my personal experience, I left an instruction in my bank, I don’t do internet banking. If I want money I issue my cheque or I come to the bank, because our space is not safe enough, before you realise it your money has gone and insurance here in Nigeria they won’t pay. In a

developed world when something happens to your money and you are sure that you are not the one who used that money and if they refuse to pay you that money they will tell you to take them to court you get more money. Nobody pities you in Nigeria. All they need is your data and the moment they get your information that’s all. You belong to the ruling party, what exactly is going on and this is the year that is a make or mar year for your government in power, fortunately you have both Houses under the APC. What exactly is the party and your government doing to ensure that Nigerians get the benefits of democracy? You see the truth of the matter is that with the benefits of an insider the situation we met on ground is not palatable and everybody knows that. Having said this, I was arguing with a friend of mine and he said it is not palatable when you came in the dollar was N150 and now dollar is N500 what kind of palatable are you telling me. I said look at it from this angle, the situation that was on ground when we came in was very bad but that is not an excuse. I am even blaming not only the past government, I am blaming Nigerians generally even in our way of life, we never take things serious. We never planned, even forget about government. In every individual home, the way we do things is with lackadaisical attitude. They say make hay while the sun shine, when the boom was there in the early 70s we were there increasing salaries instead of increasing infrastructure. There is this popular adage in Yoruba that says “cripple why is your load bent, and he will say you are only looking up, you are not looking down”. At the time we are having it, I remember very well when we were in the University in the early 80s you will eat three square meals and you pay 50 kobo. At that time, other people when there is boom what they do is they invest in infrastructure for the generation yet unborn. Our own we were consuming it. We don’t plan. Let me take the upper echelon, the National Assembly members, you will see your colleague that you are in the same assembly with if he missed the chance of coming back in the election and after 2 months you will see him as someone who is broke because they don’t plan. You must be able to plan even you as a journalist we have a role to play. It is you and I that need to work on that. I will say assess us after May 29th, 2019. Usain Bolt will tell you focus on the team, the end justifies the means. We may start slow and I can assure you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. When you see seriousness, when you see people that have hope give it to the present government, either we like it or not there is no lavish spending again and that alone is one of the achievements.

News 12 ‘Don’t expect Buhari any time soon’ Continued from page 6 numerous challenges facing the nation, noting that Allah in his traditions, tests people with calamities or hunger ‘but would help them if they repent or resort to fervent prayers.’ In his remark, Ustaz Bashir Baba Broda similarly cautioned youths against peddling of rumours and reporting of lies that are capable of tarnishing the country’s image, urging Muslims to pray to God to wipe out the tears of Nigerians. He commended Senator Ali Wakili and his advisers for remembering to return to God for guidance and prayer, especially in a time like this. Ustaz Baba said, “We must come to God to seek for mercy and forgiveness from sin.” He further emphasised the place of repentance for God to answer prayer. “We must probe ourselves, examine our lives to see where we are going wrong so that God will heal the land,” lamenting that Nigerians dwell mainly on negative issues rather than positive. “It is high time we changed our ways,” he maintained. “We used to live in fear of insurgency, but now there is great improvement. We are now going about our lawful activity without fear; we must appreciate God for the peace in the land. We must stop spreading false news, rumours on the social media, he said. However, Senior Special Assistant, Media, to the President, Garba Shehu, said on a live Television programme that the President was no longer enjoying his vacation abroad and so will be back anytime soon. President Buhari, had gone on vacation to the United Kingdom on January 19, during which he said he would go for a routine medical check. In a letter to the Senate, he said he would return to work on February 6, but he transmitted another letter to the Senate, on Feb. 5, requesting extension of time to complete the medical check-up. However, the presidential aide insists that the president would be returning to Nigeria soonest as he was no longer `comfortable’ with the extended vacation in London. “As a matter of fact, we should be getting ready to see the president in fresh and that will be soon as possible. “The President (himself) is looking to being home to be with his people. “I don’t think he is enjoying any longer with an extended vacation outside the country.” On the President’s test results being expected from his doctors, Shehu said he had no information on whether the President had collected the results or not. He said: “No, we have no information on that (test results). If he had received them, he would have been on the plane back home.’’ Shehu said.

Court orders forfeiture of Yakubu’s $9.8m, £74,000 to FG Continued from page 1 Government. Lawyer to the EFCC, Mr. Salihu Sani, had moved the ex-parte application asking the court to grant the request on the grounds that the subject matter is sensitive and the need to protect the sanctity of the recovered staggering amount.

In her ruling on the matter, Justice Zainab, held that “the sum of $9, 772,000 (Nine Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy Two Thousand United States Dollars) and £74, 000 (Seventy Four Thousand Pound Sterling), which are now in the custody of the applicant (EFCC) are in the interim forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.”

The Daily Times recalls that on February 3, 2017, operatives of the EFCC had stormed a building belonging to the former NNPC boss and recovered a staggering sum of $9,772,000 (Nine Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy Two Thousand United States Dollars) and £74,000 (Seventy Four Thousand Pound Sterling) stashed in a huge fire proof safe.

Yakubu had on February 8, 2017, reported to the commission’s Kano zonal office, where he admitted being the owner of both the house and the recovered money. Yakubu is still in custody of the EFCC and is assisting the commission in its investigation on the matter.

Malabu oil scandal: Shell, Eni drag FG to court OpeOluwani Akintayo

ÏÏÏ Following a court order that the richest oil bloc in Nigeria, OPL 245, should be returned to Nigeria, multinational oil companies, Shell and Eni, have dragged the federal government to court to reclaim the oil bloc. On January 26, Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, granted Nigeria an interim order as sought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take over the oil bloc estimated to contain over nine billion barrels of crude. However, Shell and Eni, through their Nigerian subsidiaries, asked a Federal High Court to reverse the order that forced them to forfeit OPL 245. In a separate case, the EFCC charged two former ministers, Mohammed Adoke and Dan Etete, as well as businessman Abubakar Aliyu to court for their roles in the $1.1 billion fraud. The $1.1 billion was the money paid by Shell and Eni for the bloc. EFCC, we understand, have concluded plans to file charges against the oil majors soon although they are already facing similar indictments in Italy, and also being investigated in the U.S., Netherlands, and UK. On Tuesday, the hearing on the application by both oil companies was stopped upon request of the EFCC who sought time to respond to the applications. At the opening of session on the case, the counsel representing the EFCC, J. A. Ojogbame, asked the court for an adjournment to allow him file his reply to the applications.

According to him, he had some challenges which would not allow him respond to the application. The counsel representing Shell, Olaniwun Ajayi, objected to the application for adjournment, saying that the EFCC had obtained an order ex-parte, which allowed the commission to have control over the OPL 245. Ajayi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said the EFCC had in its motion ex-parte, regarded the Malabu oil scam as an urgent matter requiring prompt attention, questioning EFCC’s failure to respond to the applications after almost two weeks after receiving the motion from the applicants. After hearing the arguments, Justice Tsoho adjourned the hearing till February 27. In 2011, both Shell and Eni paid about $1.1 billion in a Nigerian government account in London for possession of the bloc. Over 70 percent of the money was transferred in questionable circumstances into Malabu accounts owned by a former petroleum minister, Dan Etete. Etete then transferred over half of the money into accounts of fake companies controlled by Aliyu Abubakar, a man is wanted for fraud in Italy and whom the EFCC already charged for fraud. Abubakar is believed to be a front for several top officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration. In December, EFCC charged Messrs. Etete, Abubakar and Adoke for fraud and money laundering. After being named in the $1b Malabu oil deal, former President Jonathan denied all allega-

tions of involvement in the deal although the oil transaction took place during his tenure. In a statement by his spokesperson, Ikechukwu Eze, in Abuja, the former president denied sending Abubakar Aliyu or any other person to receive bribe on his behalf. According to the release, Jonathan also said he did not hold any secret meeting with parties involved in the transaction. “With regards to the publication, we wish to make it clear that former President Jonathan was not accused, indicted or charged for corruptly collecting any monies as kickbacks or bribes from ENI by the Italian authorities or any other law enforcement body the world over”, he said. Jonathan then referred his accusers to cross check the document which was signed during the deal at the office of the Attorney General of the Federation/ Minister of Justice. “In the first place, we have to categorically state that the negotiations and transactions for the oil block deal predate the presidency of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan which began on May 6, 2010 and ended on May 29, 2015. “It may interest those promoting this false narrative to know that all the documents relating to the transactions, issues and decisions of the Federal Government on the Malabo issue, during the Jonathan administration, are in the office of the Attorney General of the Federation/Minister of Justice”, he said. The statement again said that although Jonathan held meetings with the IOCs and officials of Eni, the meeting was for the good of

the country. Jonathan also denied owning any bank account or properties outside the country. The former president then challenged anybody with concrete evidences against him to step up with them. Italian authorities also said they will file criminal charges against former Minister of Petroleum, Dan Etete, for his involvement in the oil deal. The notice of trial came one week after he was charged by the EFCC in Abuja. Others to appear at the trial include, Chukwuemeka Obi, DescaJzi Claudio, the CEO of Eni; his predecessor, Paolo Scaroni; Roberto Casula, Armanna Vincenzo, Antonio Pagano, Ednan Agaev, Luigi Bisignani and Falcioni Gianfranco. Obi and his firm, EVP, had laid claim to about $110 million of the $1.1 billion paid by Shell and Eni for OPL 245. However, the money was frozen by a court in Switzerland. Obi sued Malabu for the $110 million in London. The money, Obi said, was his fee for facilitating the deal between Shell, ENI and Malabu. To buttress his claim, in July 2013, the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division presided by Lady Justice Gloster ruled in favour of Mr. Obi that he was entitled to “a fee of 8.5% of the total disposal consideration of $1.3 billion.” The money was then wired into EVP’s Swiss accounts. However, Italian authorities who had by then started investigating the fraudulent deal asked Swiss authorities to freeze the money where it has since remained.

Editorial Ending global Child Labour

here is no denying that child labour has become one of the most contentious issues facing mankind today. Every day, we are assaulted with pictures of children in many Third World countries working as farmhands and labourers under the most inhuman conditions. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), there are hundreds of millions of girls and boys throughout the world involved in work that deprives them from receiving adequate education, health, leisure and basic freedom, thereby violating their rights. Of these children, more than half are exposed to the worst forms of child labour. These forms of labour include work in hazardous environment, slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities such as drug trafficking and prostitution as well as involvement in armed conflict. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates that children should be protected from economic exploitation. Any work that is hazardous, interferes with children’s education or is harmful to their health and development is considered as child labour. All across Nigeria, several children are indentured by either their parents or guardian to do all kinds of trades and businesses in order to make money for them. Incidentally, poverty has been the major reason for child labour in the country. Those stressing such reason claim that parents, who cannot provide for the family, put the care of their children in the hands of relations. This is prominent with parents in the village. Most times, relations

promise to take very good care of these children, and even sponsor their education. However, they end up turning them into child labourers, sending them to work throughout the day and even at night to earn money for them and thereby exposing these children to all kinds of hazards. Spontaneous visits to factories, workshops, fisheries and such other establishments will reveal the extent to which child labour is a grave matter. This is why we are calling on the National Assembly, non-governmental agencies and all relevant authorities to take legislative and legal steps to end this shameful practice in Nigeria. Children are not in anyway supposed to be a source of the family income. Parents bring children into the world and so, they should be able to cater for their financial, educational, material, health, and emotional and psychological needs. Furthermore, children are tomorrow’s leaders. However, they cannot be true leaders and future champions if they are denied their right to quality education, and are turned into child labourers. It is a truism that child labour not only undermines the root of human nature, it also threatens future social and economic progress worldwide. Childhood is a part of human life in which the child enjoys the pleasures of life and parents love and pampering and should not be involved in various menial jobs at that tender age. That is why parents should be sensitised on the dangers of hiring out their children to people who end up exploiting them. We, therefore, advocate that perpetrators of child labour in the country should be prosecuted and jailed.

PCN inducts 177 UNN pharmacy graduates Moses Oyediran, Enugu

ÎÎÎ

The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN), has inducted 177 fresh graduates of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) 2015/2016 session, Batch A, into the council. Speaking during the induction, the Registrar of the council, Mr. Elijah Mohammed, urged the inductees to take their internship seriously stating that any opportunity lost could not be regained. Mohammed described Pharmacy as a noble profession that guarantees graduates great opportunities and prospects of practicing in different fields of life and urged them to take their calling serious in order not to bring the council to disrepute. He informed the inductees that the Pharmacy

Council frowns at professional misconduct and that there is a punishment for misdemeanor if found guilty, pointing out the punishment could including withdrawal of practicing license. “The council frowns at professional misconduct in its entirety. So, any form of misconduct by any pharmacist is usually investigated by the PCN investigating panel and if pharmacist has a cause to answer, he or she is referred to the disciplinary tribunal. Sentences such as removal of the pharmacist’s name from the pharmaceutical register for a given period could be passed. “I want to state categorically that pharmacists today remain legally responsible for the safe and accurate dispensing of medication most especial-

ly ethical medicines, and additional responsibility as integral number of the health care team educate, monitor and care for patients,” the Council boss intimates. In his address, Dean of the faculty, Prof. Godswill Onunkwo, urged the newly inductees to manage their success and make right choice at every point of their life. Onunkwo advised them to be determined and never stop training themselves in life. “My advice is that you should manage your success and make right choice in whatever situation you find yourself. “Be determined and never stop training so as to update yourself in the profession,” he said. He announced that the University senate has approved the establish-

ment of Institute of Herbal Drug Excipient Research and Drug Development as well as Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology Biotechnology to be established in the faculty. Out of the inductees, 20 of them were given cash awards ranging from N5, 000 to N50, 000 for performing creditably during their course of study. Of the 21 graduands, Mr. Friday Ifeanyi Anazodo emerged the most outstanding graduate. He garnered N160, 000 cash award which was given by various pharmaceutical companies. He emerged the overall best graduating student in both department and faculty.

Firm pleads with Lagos community to honour 2016 MoU Taju Akilapa

ÎÎÎ Property owners at Ilumose community in OkeAfa, Ejigbo area of Lagos state, have been advised to honour the agreement in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for ratification of the properties with a private firm, Osuolale Nig. Ltd. A Lagos property developer, Alhaji Hakeem Os-

uolale, said an agreement was signed between the community and Osuolale Nigeria Limited in 2016 at the instance of Ojoun of Ejigbo and Ijanland, Oba Moroof Adekunle Adisa Ojoola, as the mediators. In a statement, the firm said the agreement was consequent upon the judgment of a Lagos High Court in the suit number ID/1752/89 and later con-

firmed by the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, that the Oke Afa land covered by survey plan No: ID/728/77 originally belonged to Odubaba/Akinsanya family, which nominated Osuolale Nig. Ltd as attorney. Alhaji Osuolale also appealed to the Ejigbo monarch to enjoin the property owners and those concerned to honour the

agreement. He hailed the traditional ruler for mediating between the aggrieved parties, adding that his mediation led to unity among the parties and Peace in Oke Afa. He added that the grace of one year was enough for the property owners to ratify ownership of the land and honour the agreement.

five months the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, signed a bill into law which prescribes 25 years’ imprisonment or death sentence for anyone found guilty of land grabbing, the essence for which the law was instituted, has already started yielding fruits. With the new law, land grabbers at Kooko Ebiye, a suburb of Atan in AdoOdo/Ota Local Government Area, Ogun State have started running away, leaving all the land available. to the original land owners. His Royal Highness Oluwasegun Joel Fashina, Onikoko of Kooko Ebiye Olufemiloye Kooko Dotun who disclosed this recently in an interview, said that the community can now sleep with two eyes closed which was the reverse before now. According to the the traditional ruler, his community - Kooko Ebiye will remain grateful to Governor Amosun for the land grabbing bill which he passed into law on October, last year. The Oba said that the law

which criminalizes land grabbing or forceful takeover of landed property in the state is already helping the community as the state would not be a comfort zone for criminals any longer. He said that the land grabbers had already taken over their land but now the law has been made, they have vanished. “Kooko Ebiye people are grateful to Governor Amosun for the bill that they just passed into law recently about land grabbing, Armed robbery, Kidnapping. God will give him long life because that law will help a lot to our community here. My people are praying for him and am sure God will hear the prayers”, Oba Fashina said. Emphasising that Kooko Ebiye people are law abiding citizens, the community leader urged the Ogun State Government to make government presence felt in the community, adding that “when there are good things from government, the community tends to pay their taxes regularly so as to return to the government.”

15 Opinion

Cardinal Okogie on militarization and the Nigerian society

Mufutau Egberongbe

sincerely congratulate members of the board of Customs and Exercise, their field men, particularly, for their recent heroic seizure of 49 boxes containing guns imported from china. I also congratulate the media for the wonderful public enlightenment reportage. The media particular highlighted the lethal nature of these guns. To quote one of national dailies, “The normal rifle has one bullet and can kill only one person at a time; while a pellet used by pump-action-rifle will scatter and kill many people at once.” This poses high security hazard, considering the fragile security situation in a country infested with kidnappers, armed robbers, insurgents and cattle rustlers who use the same deadly weapons.

All these are signs of a greater danger only seen by a discerning public. The insecurity in the land symptomizes the emergence of fascism and reign of terror swinging from the center to the periphery and, in the case of cattle rustling, from the periphery to the center. Nigerians need peace and good governance and not a militarized state. Nigeria has never experienced true peace since the military coup and the civil war of 1966. Soldiers have refused to go back to their garrisons and barracks. Gun-running and gun-trotting is their habitual stock in trade which they now peddle among an otherwise peaceful and tolerant society. Today, people, at the slightest provocation, begin to brandish guns, cudgels and spears to express power and authority. The House of Reps and the senate owe this country a constitutional duty to secure the people from self-

destruction resulting from negligent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The senate and the house must put measures and counter measures to check the militarization of the Nigerian society. That is why they are there. The needs of Nigerians for food and shelter cannot be negotiated with the barrel of the gun. We should be modeling Switzerland and not the United States, where every Tom, Dick and Harry uses gun or dagger for self-defense and self-expression. Unauthorized use of guns can pose serious insecurity to life and property by placing the un-armed Nigerian at great risk. Hence many Nigerians have been murdered in cold blood. Our Police have not acquired the investigative skill and expertise to uncover such bloody murders. Prevention is better than cure. The Nigerian custom and excise de-

serve kudos from every Nigerian for saving the first tranche of 661 Nigerians who would have been victims of reckless shooting with the intercepted guns. The perpetrators must not be allowed to go scot-free. The perpetrators owe Nigerians explanation on what they intend to do with the guns and how they obtained foreign exchange, and who are the facilitators in the Central Bank and Commercial Bank. This is misplacement of priority. The huge sum of money invested in the purchase of these guns could have been used to feed millions of starving Nigerians under this economic crunch. Those who would hunt a man down should remember the dictum of Malcom X., that the jungle also contains those who hunt the hunters. It is what a man sows he shall reap. God is a God of vengeance.

Ken Nnamani’s cross-carpeting in bad test

“ Ikechukwu Muo

Most leaders resent caustic and unsympathetic criticism. They love blind adulation, sycophancy and hero worship. Paradoxically, criticism creates awareness on issues and aids development. It enlightens the whole nation and creates the needed ability to perceive the future. After all, should the people shy away from the truth and watch the nation head for the precipice? Should the truth and fact of our political life be said only when we are sure that the nation is showing signs of falling apart? Should things collapse before the light is beamed? Criticism can provide the light for national reinvigoration. Criticism is not just the outpouring of bile; it is good when it is counter-balanced with creative and constructive alternative action, plan, programmes and procedures. A leader that resents criticism is un-teachable and incorrigible.” (cf. The Unfinished Business of life &amp; Politics of Power, p.184). The former senate president that I used to know was a political gentle man. This fact was overtly demonstrated during the Obasanjo’s third term saga; Ken Nnamani rejected a golden handshake. Perhaps he could not be influenced with the Trojan horse. He stamped his feet on the ground and rejected the project of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo. In so doing, he held himself out as a man of integrity, due process and rule of law. The constitution provides for only two-term tenure. So when the former President sought to buy his way through the third term, ex-senate President Nnamani struck the gavel and the nays had it. Those who have read the book titled “The Unfinished Business of Life &amp; Politics of Power” will see clearly that I am a fan of the former Senate President Ken Nnamani. But I am not given to blind adulation ‘I give honour to

whom honour is due’. The recent cross carpeting by the former senate President and other Political leaders from PDP to APC has engendered integrity deficit in the personalities of Ken Nnamani and Jim Nwobodo. There is no virtue; I can only see a disvalue, in prostituting from one party to the other. Since party membership is based on ideology unless PDP and APC have identical ideology, Ken Nnamani has no justification to shunt from one party to the other. Both former governor Jim Nwobodo and Chief Ken Nnamani may or may not have been members of the board of trustees of PDP, their Political status and standing act as a disqualification for them to shunt from PDP into APC, no matter the trappings flaunted before them. Their integrity narrative and store of good will place them above place-seeking and lust for power. Nnamani a former Senate President, Jim Nwobodo a former Governor have been cynosures of eyes. Nnamani’s integrity narrative can be second only to that of Buhari. Can we now say that this integrity has crashed? Can the Igbos, Ibibios, Ijaws, Yorubas, Hausas and other members of the PDP put up with this Political opportunism? When will this apostasy characterizing political participation in Nigeria be known for what it is? Decamping is a game for renegades, for men of low-esteem. High ranking men like Nnamani should not be identified with it. The former Senate President already standing at the summit of power ought to know that the rolling stone gathers no moss. Ask Alhaji Atiku Abubakar or Nuhu Ribadu. There are many other place seekers but I hesitate to mention names like Jim Nwobodo and Ken Nnamani who are notable pillars of PDP. What is the anthropology of this political migration? These are the two dominant Political parties. Apostasy

carpet-crossing or shunting from one party to another are both uninspiring and un-instructive. Decamping does not hold useful lessons for up and coming generation of Nigerian Politicians. Those who cross carpet could be likened to a river that abandons its source. When a river abandons its source it becomes a dry valley. If everyone abandons his own party to move into a supposedly winning party, we will usually end up in one party syndrome. Democracy is better enjoyed in 2 ½ party system the nation has at the moment. But it is curious that members of a dominant party like PDP should affiliate themselves with or court a rival party. Political bigwigs like Jim and Ken ought to have used their good offices and integrity narratives to woo lesser or mini parties to PDP by hobnobbing with the members of the board of trustees of smaller parties. Those who are fair weather birds often abandon their house when it is on fire, rather than stay back and put off the fire. Why should the big men of PDP abandon her at the time she needs them most? Leaders of PDP should stand firm and stop navigating from one party to another. Because the party failed one election does not mean the end of PDP. After all the dead bones shall rise again. The lessons of the past can make the PDP a stronger party. If APC is strong, and PDP strong it will be good for Nigeria. If one is weak and the other strong it will carry us nowhere. But political gladiators with their wealth of experience can make impact in Nigerian polity if they understand what politics is all about. APC and PDP working together constructively without conflict of interest can change Nigeria’s political landscape. If they forget about Money politics, politics will attract young people. Moving from one party to another is a disservice to Nigeria.

Nigeria has what it takes to be a great nation. In Black Africa let there be healthy competition between APC and PDP. Let election results decide the ultimate winner. But come to think of it, if former senate president Ken Nnamani has done his homework properly, why would he forget that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Before Nnamani gathers the type of esteem and good will he enjoys in the PDP in the APC it will take him years of horse trading and cutthroat competition. I would have advised Chief Ken Nnamani to remain in the PDP and build it up. There are unexplored political landscapes waiting to be converted to the camp of the PDP. Whole Christian states of the North-East viz Taraba, Benue, Adamawa, Nasarawa have similar political experience of discrimination and marginalization to the south-East and South-South. It is very easy to convince the Christians of the North-East scourged by Boko- Haram war of islamization to join their South-Eastern Christian brothers. The PDP should have a strategic plan of action to liberate these Nigerians from marginalization. However, many so-called bigwigs are in fact dead woods that lack creative ideas on how to invent a winning political machine. Opportunities for expanding he fortunes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) abound in Taraba, Benue, Adamawa, Nasarawa and Bauchi States. The bigwigs have been participating in politics in the last seventeen years of uninterrupted democracy. They have not been able to make visible impact on the development of the South-East. No matter the position occupied by so-called party bigwigs they had been unable to use their position to influence the construction of the second Niger Bridge.

AMCON takes over OAS helicopters

ÏÏÏThe

Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over Odengene Air Shuttle Services, OAS Helicopters in Lagos following a court order. The management of AMCON on Tuesday sealed the helicopter company’s headquarters at Maryland in Lagos, indicating that the company has been taken over by AMCON. It could not be ascertained if the helicopter company is indebted to some banks that will warrant such take over, but the company was among the airlines that received the federal government intervention fund during the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan. But the notice on the premises of the OAS says it all that the company has been taken over following a court order. The Order on the company’s office reads: “POSSESSION

A top management staff of AMCON who does not want his name in print confirmed the taking over over. It will be recalled that AMCON had on Thursday February 9 took over the management of Arik Air. AMCON said development will save Arik Airlines currently immersed in heavy financial debt burden that is threatening to permanently ground the airline. For some time now, the airline, which carries about 55percent of the load in the country, has been going through difficult times that are attributable to its bad corporate governance, erratic operational challenges, inability to pay staff salaries and heavy debt burden among other issues, which led to the call for

The airline is currently not doing well after the take-over as it requires professional turn around. Last year the federal government disclosed of plans to float a new national carrier. The take-over of domestic airline companies here and there may not be unconnected with the federal government plan of floating a new national carrier. Meanwhile the management of Arik airlines has announced its intention to suspend its international flight operations to enable them find permanent solution facing passengers A statement by the management of the Arik airlines said the suspension will enable it to carry out a thorough assessment of the situation.

Ex-Rangers star Obiekwu dies in action Tragedy has again struck Nigerian football after former Enugu Rangers star Henry Obiekwu slumped and died while playing a friendly in Enugu

Former Super Eagles defender Kingsley Obiekwu aka ‘Shagari’ confirmed the passing of his younger brother Henry.

Eye witnesses said right fullback Henry asked to be replaced during the friendly match with his youth team Samba FC at the

njured Nigeria midfielder Joel Obi will undergo a scan in the coming days to know the extent of an injury he has suffered. The former Inter Milan player was forced to miss the entire second half in Torino’s 5-2 win over Pescara at the weekend. He missed the team’s training on Monday due to the injury. Obi has severally been hampered by various injuries in his career. Meanwhile, English League One bottom club Coventry City hope the goals and experience of former Nigeria international Yakubu Aiyegbeni will save them from relegation. Coventry City completed the signing of Yakubu on a deal which will run till the end of the season, subject to international clearance. The 34-year old striker has wealth of experience

in English football having played for Portsmouth and Middlesborough, Blackburn Rovers, Everton, Leicester City and Reading. The team coach Russell Slade said he is happy to have the Nigeria striker in his team. “We’re pleased to have secured the signing of Yakubu, who brings vast experience and a terrific goal record,” he told reporters. “His professional career speaks for itself, having scored consistently at the highest level of English football, and will act as a superb role model for the younger players. “He is astute on the ball, has clear quality and presence, and we’ll continue to work on his match fitness as we prepare for the final 16 games of this season.” Yakubu will wear jersey number 22 for Coventry.

Abraham hits 20,shines S for Bristol Rovers T

ammy Abraham’s goalscoring in the Championship shows no signs of slowing down this season. The Chelsea loanee surpassed the 20-goal mark for the season in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Derby County on Saturday to take his tally up to 21 for the season for Bristol City. It’s a remarkable feat for the teenager, and Gernot Rohr cannot miss any opportunity to recruit the young forward to the Nigeria setup. The German coach has overseen a renaissance of sorts during his brief stint with the Super Eagles, and while there is more positivity now about the national side than in many years, they still aren’t the finished article. There are question marks over several defensive positions, while the squad arguably lacks a striker to make the most of the creativity of players such as Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon.

Abraham

Ideye Brown has proved effective, although perhaps isn’t a natural fit, while it remains to be seen if Odion Ighalo can ever rediscover his previous form after swapping Watford for China. Abraham, who offers pace, incisive movement and a cool eye for goal, boasts both the quality to lead the line for the Eagles and—at 19—the profile to fit seamlessly into this young and exciting Nigeria selection.

As the landmarks fall for England U21 international Abraham, the secret—both the good and the bad—is out of the bag. While there is optimism around the national side, Nigeria would be wise to do their best to recruit this talented young forward to join the revolution. It may be a long shot, but despite his troubles, Abraham is already demonstrating that he’s set to be an exceptional talent.

hooting Stars Sports club (3SC) head coach Fatai Amoo is positive his side will take the full advantage of their week-longweek rest to perform better in the on-going top-flight. The Oluyole Warriors have been inactive in the past week as their matchday 7 and 8 opponents, Wikki Tourists and champions Enugu Rangers, were involved in continental assignments. However, the Ibadan landlords will return to league action on Sunday in a matchday 9 clash at top-flight newcomers Katsina United. Amoo said the Katsina outfit’s performance will serve as huge motivation for his side to excel in the encounter. “I sincerely pray we take full advantage of the rest we had to perform well when we hit the pitch on the weekend against Katsina United. “Of course, you cannot compare yourself with others who have been active with their matches. “Although ours have been an active rest as we were involved in top friendly matches to keep the players in good shape.

“However, I can say comfortably that we enjoyed our rest to give our very best performance at Katsina United. “The camp was down in mood after the loss at ABS FC but the win against Rivers United on home ground did a lot to ginger the entire team back to life. “I just hope we will be able to recreate or even better the performance on the away trip to Katsina United,” said the former Sunshine Stars coach to supersport.com. The Ibadan-based side are 17th on the 20-team top-flight on seven points, 10 behind league leaders Plateau United.

CAF irked by Infantino’s visit to Zimbabwe Maradona slams Bauza over Icardi Diego Maradona will not forgive Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza for meeting up with Mauro Icardi at Inter. The 23-year-old is yet to feature for his country under Bauza, who visited the San Siro club this month and has confirmed Icardi could be considered for selection. Maradona has labelled Icardi “a traitor” for marrying Wanda Nara, the ex-wife of former Sampdoria team-mate Maxi Lopez. Bauza has denied claims his ongoing exclusion is down to a friendship between captain Lionel Messi and Lopez, but the 59-year-old’s stance on the is-

sue has not impressed the iconic Maradona. Asked if he forgives Bauza for meeting Icardi, Maradona said: “I do not. I will not talk to Bauza anymore. “It is his life. I do not care, but for me he does not exist. There are things that are not done and are not forgiven. “I want to see Bauza ask Messi if he wants to eat at Icardi’s house, or if Icardi can eat at the houses of Messi, Sergio Aguero, or another national team player after what happened with Maxi Lopez.” Maradona, who coached his country between 2008 and 2010, does not think about what

it would be like to play alongside Messi, but would have enjoyed teaming up with him as well as Mario Kempes and Gabriel Batistuta.

eports emanating from Zimbabwe have revealed that CAF President Issa Hayatou is agitated with FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s planned visit to Zimbabwe. It is revealed that Infantino is invited by COSAFA and ZIFA President, Philip Chiyangwa to visit him in Harare on February 24, but CAF wants Chiyangwa to seek their approval. The FIFA boss has since confirmed he will be coming to Zimbabwe following Chiyangwa’s invitation despite CAF being irked by the “meeting”. Chiyangwa insisted that the gathering was simply to celebrate both his birthday as well as triumph in the COSAFA where he was elected president last year. Hayatou is running for the CAF presidency where he will be pitted against Madagascar’s Ahmad Ahmad in an election that will be held on March 16 in Ethiopia. COSAFA have since thrown their weight behind Hayatou’s opponent as a candidate to suc-

ceed the Cameroonian administrator. It is reported that CAF secretary-general, Hicham El Amrani, wrote to Chiyangwa last Saturday expressing reservations about the gathering in Harare, warning that it could attract sanctions. In his response, Chiyangwa insisted that he will support Hayatou’s rival at the CAF election and doesn’t understand why CAF is irked by the meeting in Harare. “We, as Zimbabwe, have a position and our position is that we will support everything that is in tandem with COSAFA resolutions,” he is quoted. “I do not understand why people are agitated about this gathering, which is only to celebrate my birthday, as well my ascendancy to the COSAFA presidency. “When people begin to have an interest in such gatherings, it only means they are scared of the election that is coming.”

FG auctions N110bn bonds Wednesday Bonny Amadi Federal government of Nigeria in sustenance of measures to garner funds for short term expenditures have concluded arrangement to auction N110 billion worth FGB bonds short to long term debt instruments. The instruments are in three classifications, 5 year, 10 year and 15 years bonds with a combined sum of N110 billion. The FGN bonds include the short term instrument, a N45 billion 5-year re-opening at 14.5 per cent rate and maturity date of July 2021.

TTM Yield refers to the percentage of income the fund portfolio returned to investors over the past 12 months. Also, the 12.50 22-Jan-2026 debt instrument issued by the federal government on January 22nd 2016 enjoys 12.50 per cent coupon rate with outstanding value of N581.10 billon billed to mature on January 22nd 2026.

Union bank kicks off 100th anniversary celebrations Union Bank, one of Nigeria’s most respected financial institutions, has kicked off celebrations to mark its 100th anniversary of service in Nigeria. The kick-off event was held on Tuesday, February 14th and the bank’s headquarters in Lagos. Union Bank was established in 1917 as Barclays Bank DCO (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) and through the years went on to become one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions. Barclays Bank DCO was renamed Barclays Bank Nigeria Limited following the enactment of the Companies Act of 1968, allowing even more Nigerians to take on strategic roles in the Bank nationwide. In 1971, Barclays Bank was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Nigerian government acquired a stake making it a wholly Nigerian –owned bank. In 1979, following a public offering, the bank was renamed Union Bank of Nigeria to reflect the new ownership structure. The 100th anniversary is being marked five years after the bank was acquired by a new international investor group in 2012. Following this, the new management team led by Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Emeka Emuwa, embarked on a transformation programme to reposition Union Bank with the objective of becoming a leading provider of quality financial services in Nigeria.

UNION BANK MD, EMUWA With a defined business model focused on customer segments across retail, commercial and corporate banking, Union Bank

is now positioned to deliver simpler, smarter service to all its customers. The bank has relied on technology to enhance its

customer service, maintain a reliable banking platform and the roll out of new products especially in the retail space. Union Bank continues to showcase successes of its transformation which include the launch of more than 110 new or refurbished branches across Nigeria; a new brand identity which has been recognised internationally at the Transform Awards MENA; steady growth of its customer deposits and the fastest growing mobile banking platform in the industry with nearly 350% increase in mobile banking customers in 2016. Speaking at the kick-off event, Mr. Emuwa said, “One hundred years is no easy feat for any institution and I am proud to be a part of this milestone achievement at Union Bank. While we will celebrate our past achievements, this milestone also signals the start of our legacy for the next one hundred years. This year will be about showcasing who we are as an organisation – a responsive corporate citizen to our communities and a champion for sustainability and social innovation.” Mr. Emuwa also unveiled the guiding themes for the bank’s 100th celebrations which are Celebrate. Impact. Lead. The bank will unveil activities under the three themes during the course of the year.

Afreximbank, Ecobank sign $500m African trade/investment promotion MoU Bonny Amadi The African ExportImport Bank (Afreximbank) and Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), parent company of the Ecobank Group have endorsed a working agreement towards funding of private sector projects as well as trade financing. To achieve this, the two

financial institutions, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to drive the initiatives which focuses on transactions involving trade and investment in Afreximbank member countries where Ecobank also has a presence. The programme include the creation of a $500 million committed to financing trade among Afreximbank member

countries where Ecobank conducts banking business. The partnership agreement also empowers the two institutions to also explore other cooperation in financing trade in the form of exports and imports among African countries where there is Ecobank presence. The financing in general would target operations which are eligible for Afreximbank’s

interventions through cofinancing, syndication of loans, risk participation or through any other appropriate mode of cooperation. The cooperation between the two institutions will support efforts at promoting intra-African trade, facilitating industrial development and export development, and strengthening CONTINUED ON PAGE B2

Business News B2 AfBAA, NBAC cohost West African business aviation symposium Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo To create a more robust and dynamic business and networking meeting, African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) has teamed up with EAN Aviation, organizers of the annual Nigerian Business Aviation Conference, NBAC, to merge the two respected meetings into one powerful event. In a value-add for delegates the two meetings will come together to spearhead discussions about the value of creative business thinking, and how it can stimulate new ideas to help navigate the increasingly challenging world of business aviation in the region. The organizers have designed the programme with the aim of providing a set of pragmatic tools that will support the region’s stakeholders’ future planning and development. Networking will also from a significant part of the meeting and organizers have introduced a “Meet the Operators” session that will enable suppliers and operators to effectively network in a dedicated environment. “We see operators as a lynchpin for the industry and want to facilitate meetings that will be genuinely useful for both parties,” CEO of AfBAA, says Rady Fahmy. The programme will include discussions about human resources and training; the benefits of purchasing pre-owned as opposed to new aircraft; and look at how to plan for ongoing success. Presentations will explore the perception of West African business aviation and a case study will look at how the closure of Abuja airport, Nigeria’s legislative capital may have affected the sector. “We’ve create a dynamic programme with some fascinating new themes for delegates to debate.

Nigeria, U.S. firms sign N241.6m solar energy MoU Community Energy Social Enterprises Limited (CESEL) has signed a 767, 512 dollars (about N241.6 million) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Renewvia Energy Corporation, a U.S. firm to provide solar energy in Nigeria. Dr Patrick Tolani, Managing Director of CESEL, a Nigerian privately owned firm signed on Tuesday in Abuja, on behalf of the company while Mr Clay Taber, Managing Director Renwvia, signed for his company. Tolani said that the MoU was for development of solar microgrids in 25 communities in Bayelsa, Ondo, Ogun, and Osun. He said the communities to benefit from the projects are those that had no access to electricity for more than ten years which includes Braz in Bayelsa and Magboro in Ogun State. Others, he said included Ilaje areas and Igbokoda in Ondo State; and a community which was com-

pletely cut off the grid because of isolation in Osun State. Taber in his remarks said Renewvia would install and operate microgrid systems with solar photovoltaic generation capacity and battery storage in 25 communities in Nigeria. According to him, the design of the microgrids for the project will include PV panels, string inverters, aluminium racking and energy storage backup power. “It is expected that the majority of the power offtakers for the project wwill be residential and commercial end users located within one kilometer of the microgrid generation units that wwill be connected at the time of project construction. “Renewvia and CESEL will sell microgrid customers electricity by KiloWhats through a “pay as you go” structure. “The competitiveness of the system helps to ensure payment, as the project would provide con-

sistent and reliable power at a less expensive price than current rural power generation by diesel,” he said. He said Renewvia and CESEL also planned to facilitate the transaction through mobile payments. He said the companies would employ local and remote resources to support the needs or the power plant for each microgrid. The project was supported by Power Africa, a U.S. energy project initiated in 2013 to assist nations in African accessing energy. The U.S. Trade and Development Agency would provide grant funding support to CESEL for feasibility study that would access the rollout of 25 solar microgrids in rural and peri-urban communities across Nigeria. It is expected that the project would provide up to 10 megawatts and connecting over 10, 000 households. The study would be undertaken by Renewvia

Economy Recovery Plan: No recommendation to raise N5trn from assets sale – Aide The Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning says there is no recommendation to raise N5 trillion from assets sale in Economy Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP). The clarification was made in a statement by the Media Adviser to the Minister of Budget and National Planning, James Akpandem, on Tuesday in Abuja. Akpandem said that attention of the ministry had been

drawn to publications indicating that the Federal Government was planning to raise about N5 trillion from assets sale in the next four years. “The publications claim that the projected amount is contained in ERGP being finalised by the Federal Government. “It has become necessary to state that the ERGP that is being finalised and which will soon be presented to the public has no recommendation

for raising that amount of revenue from sale of assets. “To achieve the strategic objectives of the plan, 60 strategies have been developed for implementation with four key execution priorities, ’’ he said. The aide, however, listed the four key execution priorities as stabilisation of the macroeconomic environment; agriculture and food security; Sufficiency in energy and Industrialisation, focusing on

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. The ERGP is a follow-up to the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) which is a shortterm economic plan to drive the implementation of the 2017 Budget. On SIP, the government had promised to deliver a more comprehensive economic recovery and growth plan which is expected to be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari soon. (NAN)

pared to $27.99 billion it stood on 5 February, 2016; latest data on website of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Emefiele said, “The fact that we have began to see some accretion to the reserve does not mean we should be reckless.” “The CBN will continue with the policy of ensuring that forex is made available to those who are importing raw materials and supporting the agricultural sector but not to those who want to engage in less important sectors of the economy”, he noted.

Bonny Amadi Against expectations that the 2016 financial year result of banks for the period ended December 31, would reflect challenged operating environment, the reverse may be the case for top-tier banks with formidable foreign exchange accounts. This reflects that investors in Nigerian top-tier banks will receive bounty dividend from their investments for the 2016 financial year, while dividend returns from mid-tier banks would be subdued due to expected depressed or weak results challenged by mounting provisioning and none performing loans The Chief Executive Officer Afrinvest West Africa Limited, Mr. Ike Chioke in an interview with Daily Times Nigeria in Lagos recently, said that though the expected results may spring some surprises, mid-tier banks

Banks leveraging exchange rate gains to boost earnings – Chioke results would be weak while toptier banks financials would reflect sound growth in profit and loss (P&L) lines . “I will be expecting to see that some of the top tier banks will maintain their momentum, high PBT and PAT numbers , you will see eye popping numbers, because in a system where there has been a devaluation in the local currency there will be an exchange gain” He said. According to the Afrinvest CEO, the exchange rate gains are made from fixing foreign exchange with the apex bank regulator at a price and later it will be swapped with the Naira at higher rate. “This happens sometimes when big banks brought in Dollars then at the rate of N200 per Dollar and

then fixes it with the CBN and says, hold it for me when I need it, I do a swap with it. And eventually they go back and give them the Naira and collect their Dollars at N305.00, there is an exchange gain” He revealed that through the foreign exchange naira swap, some of Nigeria’s top tier banks have been maintaining their profitability and almost 50 per cent of their profit will account for exchange gain. Chioke however regretted that such earning opportunity may not be available to mid-tier banks with lower liquidity level and low Dollar balance sheet and this will also impact negatively on their expected results, creating a wide gap between the results of top-tier

banks and mid-tier banks. Describing the expected results as tale of two cities, Chioke said “the likes of Zenith, GTB, UBA, First Bank, Union bank and Ecobank as top tier banks and then there is the mid-tier banks that is Stanbic, Diamond, Fidelity, FCMB, and the others’.

The organisation disclosed in a statement to the NSE, that its board during the meeting would consider the company’s 2016 audited financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2016. The announcement titled “Notice of Lafarge Africa’s board meeting for discussing of dividend” signed by the company’s secretary, Uzoma Uja, partly read “the board of directors will be discussing dividend payable to shareholders of Lafarge Africa Plc in respect of the year ended 31st December 2016” Daily Times Nigeria recalls that Lafarge Africa has sustained a dividend paying culture over the years to its shareholders consolidating confidence of investors and host communities on the organizations’ commitment to enhancing the fortunes of shareholders and stakeholders.

Maritime B6 Stories by Babajide Okeowo In the aftermath of the seizure of 661 pump action rifles smuggled into the country in the Mile 2 area of Lagos, stakeholders in the maritime industry have called on government to fix all the faulty scanners at the ports to guide against a reccurrence. This is even as the stakeholders posited that the breakdown of the scanners is responsible for the long delay in cargo clearance. According to the Secretary of The Port Facility Security Officers (PFSO) forum, Mr. Uche Ignatius, the security implication of the non-working scanners cannot be over-emphasised.

Daily Times Nigeria Wednesday, February 15, 2017

Stakeholders call for fixing of faulty scanners at ports In his words, “If the scanners were working, the issue of arms coming into the country will not have happened, it would have been detected. “If the faulty scanners are replaced with new ones, this will aid service delivery and it will help achieve the 48-hours of clearing of cargoes at the ports,” he said. Uche also posited that at a time that the country is talking about increasing the turn-around time

of vessels, it is imperative to have the scanners working. It is because it is physical examination that is being done at our ports and this delays the clearing of cargoes in a busy port like ours, one or two scanners are not enough to facilitate movement of cargoes and we are talking about increasing the turnaround time of vessels; how do we do that without adequate machines, he asked.

According to Don Onyeka, Apapa Chapter Chairman of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), illegal containers are coming into the country due to the breakdown of the scanners which resulted to the issue of the arms that was seized recently. “This could have been avoided if the container was properly scanned. If good, new and effective scanners are fixed; it will stop officers who

take bribe and involve in negligence of their duty; and it will also keep the officers and agents safe. There is no way an officer can physically scan containers if he is not knowledgeable about it and this is actually affecting the clearing of cargoes” he said. Similarly, Mr. Bolaji Sunmola; President, National Association of Stevedoring Companies, (NASC), the issue of faulty scanners has been

on for a while and everything at the port is being done manually. “The scanners at our seaports are not meant to be faulty; it is the duty of the providers of these scanners to ensure that the modules are installed rightly and the operators of these scanners should be well knowledgeable on the operation of the equipment. If there is need for repair, it should be done by the right operators and not a mediocre”

NSDP: Nigeria to export seafarers soon – Peterside

Nigerian youths in the maritime sector are in line to earn in dollars, as the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has made provisions for the beneficiaries of the Nigerian Seafarers’ Development Programme (NSDP) to obtain their Certificate of Competency (CoC) by undergoing requisite sea time training to qualify them for global shipping and earn in foreign exchange. The Director General of the Agency Dr. Dakuku Peterside made this known in Port Harcourt during the zonal tour of the Agency’s Eastern zonal office by the NIMASA Governing Board. He disclosed that the Agency

had made provisions for the mandatory Sea time for these NSDP graduates in its 2017 budget proposals, as such will be qualifying hundreds of the candidates for the international labour market soon. Dr Peterside restated the Agency’s commitment towards building capacity for the maritime sector thereby ensuring that Seafarers and Dockworkers get the best of training across the globe. He stressed that NIMASA is in the process of fortifying the NSDP programme in order for Nigeria to begin to export Seafarers and earn the much needed foreign exchange. He added that the challenge had always been the man-

datory sea time training which the Agency is tackling headlong. In his words “we have made adequate provision for sea time training in our 2017 budget proposal. About 2500 graduates of the NSDP programme will be assisted to get trained on Sea going Vessels for their mandatory sea time and we have concluded arrangements for the first batch to be sponsored in order to expand their chances of job placement on board ocean going vessels. With this, our youths will obtain the Certificate of Competency (CoC) which places an opportunity to earn in dollars along with their contemporaries internationally”.

NPA, FRSC partner on road worthiness for vehicles entering the ports Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiza Bala Usman has given March 1, deadline to the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for the enforcement of Minimum Standard of Safety and Road Worthiness (MSSRW) for all the trucks entering the nation’s six major ports. Speaking during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the FRSC in

Lagos, recently, Ms Usman said the NPA has the responsibility to protect lives and properties of all stakeholders accessing her services by ensuring that all articulated vehicles and trucks which on daily basis freight containers and assorted bulk cargoes to different parts of the country from the ports meet the required minimum safety standards. Ms Usman said NPA was collaborating with

the FRSC as part of efforts to put lasting solutions to the Oshodi-Apapa expressway gridlock. To ensure full compliance, NPA, she said, is collaborating with the FRSC and other safety enforcement agencies to achieving safety standard for trucks accessing the ports by adopting the Road Traffic Safety Standarisation Scheme ( RTSSS), which include regular inspection and certification of the NPA’

fleet. “Apapa for example, is home to Nigeria’s two foremost ports which are being managed by nine terminal operators. Between the two ports, more than 65 per cent of dry cargoes and about 90 per cent of the nation’s liquid (petroleum products) are handled. This is because it hosts about 35 tank farms in addition to the numerous other businesses that are located in this port city.

“Going by the operational activities highlighted above, there is always heavy vehicular traffic around all port locations and most of these vehicles are not in good state. “This debilitating vehicular

traffic has assumed a frightening dimension in so many port areas. It has led to serious accidents that have claimed innocent lives and several man hours’ lost in traffic jam. Miscreants in arm robbery

Dycha recounted the exponential growth in the Polish economy which emanated from the transformation policies initiated since the ascendancy of the late President Lech Walesa,

Polish Ambassador seeks NCC’s collaboration to invest in Nigeria stressing that is why Poland was the 6th richest economy in Europe, marked by thriving business and commerce as well as a vibrant telecommunication sector. The Ambassador invited NCC to visit Poland and meet with its counterpart and explore ways to collaborate, adding that Poland had followed with admiration the trend in Nigeria’s telecommunications sector and was ready to explore how Polish businesses can also invest in the telecommuni-

cation industry in Nigeria. Danbatta with a sense of nostalgia in his response recalled his sojourn in Poland and how remarkable and fulfilling it was to have studied in that country. The EVC NCC informed his visitor that he had an extensive tour of Poland and still maintains his friendship with many people from Poland. He also lauded the Ambassador for the visit and for finding Nigeria a great place to invest, adding that the

Commission will examine the proposal and the invitation from the Ambassador to institute a pact with the Polish telecom regulator, as well as network with other agencies of the Nigerian Government to fully explore the collaboration offered by the Ambassador.

Commenting on the need to review the curriculum in institute in order to instill discipline he said, “I think

it is something very workable, especially if NiRA will come up with a document; we will see how to collaborate. I feel that having ‘the Internet’ as a discipline in our schools is something that should be done, but on the implementation I can’t say yes or no for now until the stakeholders come together to decide on it. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has also established that ‘The Internet’ deserves special course status in universities.

SAHCOL boss seeks govt. assistance in storage facilities Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

To support the growth of agro- allied export as part of measures to get out of economic recession, government must provide storage facilities at the airports, the Managing Director of Skyways Aviation Handling Company Limited (SAHCOL), Mr Rizwan Kadri has stated. He said the provision of such facilities should include refrigerated vans and other logistic infrastructure that will enable farmers of agro produce warehouse perishable items before they are flown out.

Speaking in an interview, Kadri said the agro - allied value chain could assist to get the economy in shape if government provides necessary logistic to support farmers to facilitate the business. He said such facilities in addition to local certification and packaging of produce meant for export will accelerate export of produce including: pineapples, vegetables, flowers and others . Kadri said the absence of government support to players in the agro - allied value chain in Nigeria is giving Ghana comparative advantage. He said :” Now that the

recession is biting hard, government needs to support stakeholders involved in agro - allied business by providing infrastructure, such as roads, refrigerated vans, storage facilities and the requisite training on packaging to boost the business. “Though some strides have been recorded , government needs to look at providing the right packaging facilities . It is when government assist stakeholders with these facilities that the economy could be reflated.” He said cargo and ground handling firms are undergoing shortfall in revenue on account

of some carriers pulling out of Nigeria. Kadri said one of the ways to make up for such revenue loss arising from foreign carriers pulling out include breaking into new frontiers of investment. He said:” We are mere service providers, all we need to do is to align with the vision of government . Another way is through keeping handling rates low to recover costs as well as investing in warehouse facilities. “If this is done the annual tonnage of cargo export could increase from 31 million to over 35 million.”

: From L-R, Technical Assistant to MD NAMA, Mr Pwajok Mathew Lawrence, MD NAMA, Capt Fola Akinkuotu and Alhaji Yahaya Gusau National President of Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals ANAP at the send forth ceremony of AIS retirees recently in Lagos.

Arik woes: We saw it coming – ART Aviation think tank, Aviation Round Table (ART) has said treating the Arik Air’s case in isolation would be to trivialize the magnitude of the problem, saying they all saw it coming Last week, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) took over the carrier. The takeover would help to save over 2,000 jobs as the carrier is seriously ailing. President ART, Elder Gbenga Olowo said going back to almost 40 years, Government airline Nigeria Airways failed, Pioneer Private airlines Okada, Kabo, etc failed, third generation ADC, Bellview, Chachangi, Sosoliso, etc

failed, 4th generation Richard Branson Virgin Nigeria, Air Nigeria, etc failed. “Believe me, given the same Nigeria operating environment the National carrier yet to be born will fail. We all saw it coming to Arik and may be others more than a year ago. ART Q1 breakfast meeting in 2016 appraised the very poor situation of Nigerian Airlines and rose with unambiguous communique on the way forward. This is still available on artng.org.” He described the cause of problem of Arik as essentially Nigerian business environmental factor, adding that business and government are permanently at variance.

“Cost is permanently higher than Income. Tax overburden and infrastructural deficit erodes revenue steadily. Gazetted policies that will enhance performance are not implemented. Credit is not in the Nigeria business dictionary. Yet Aviation is prone to the minutest situation in the economy ranging from weather to politics, reckless holidays, etc. “Needless to say that lack of will to do things right by leadership is the undoing of Nigeria and ditto Nigerian Airlines & businesses, he said it is on record that Governor Tunde Fasola delivered in Lagos; but alas!, what has happened to powerin two years that he secured federal might?

NAMA boss assures retirees of payment of benefits The managing director, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency NAMA Capt Fola Akinkuotu has assured retirees of the agency of prompt payment of their benefits as at when due. Speaking at the sendforth ceremony organised by members of Aeronautical Information Service AIS in Lagos, Capt Akinkuotu lamented that in some cases it was difficult for retirees to get their entitlements after serving their fatherland for 35 years. According to the helmsman of NAMA, the agency will strive to ensure that every retiree was paid at the point of exit adding that a labourer was entitled to his wages. He also advised the working class to always remember that their labour will not be in vain noting that it was sad to see workers not enjoying their retirement lives. While commending them for their unblemished record and contributions to the system while in service, Capt Akinkuotu urged them never to change their lifestyle in live long assuring them that the agency will always consult them when necessary. “The working class should always remember that their labour will not be in vain, the labour of the retirees will not be in vain. It’s sad to see that after labouring the fruit is not reap.But your case will not be like that” In his speech, the president of Aeronautical Information Services Association of Nigeria (AISAN) Comrade Babatunde Shittu appluaded applauded it’s members who retired from service recently.

NAMA upgrades Navigational Aids Ahead of the expected closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja for the repairs of the runway beginning from 8th of March 2017, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has commenced the upgrading of navigational facilities at the Kaduna airport to absorb the increased volume of traffic to be diverted from Abuja. Towards this end the agency is deploying both equipment and personnel to strategic areas of need to ensure a seamless flow of traffic at the airport during the six-week period. Making this disclosure to newsmen, the General Manager, Safety Management Systems/Quality Assurance, Mr. Mathew Lawrence Pwajok revealed that the agency has commenced the installation of a digital Instrument Landing System (ILS) at the Kaduna airport

which will undergo flight calibration along with the VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range) already installed, to ensure their accuracy. “NAMA is also currently conducting a safety assessment of the entire Kaduna airport to ensure that it conforms to international safety standards, just as new equipment is being procured for the control tower under construction while a mobile control tower is to be deployed to the airport to support the old control tower already in use,” Pwajok said, adding that while the Abuja radar is also going to be used to provide radar surveillance of traffic moving in and out of Kaduna to provide safety and efficiency of flight operations, new generating sets are to be installed to provide secondary power supply to the navigational aids.

What does your brand do and what goals do you intend to attain? Dance in Nigeria has become popular but I am trying hard to improve its acceptance as a business and corporate entity. Popularity builds demand and demand builds supply; supply means we get to work and we get to earn. So, what we are doing is we need to sensitize the youths practising dance, much cash. But when we do that and we are not training, as well as we should, then in the next 3-5 years, everybody is going to be dancing the same way and the same thing and there will be no growth. So our growth is like in three phases; we need to grow skillfully, we need to grow on our business ethics and we need to grow in sustenance of our brand. So there needs to be more brands than just a kaffy brand, there needs to be more people that you can see that are role models to the essence of the dance industry, then we need to also create avenues to allow the corporate world to accept us as an industry on its own and that is actually related to individual discipline in business. So, once we are able to do that, I think we stand a chance because I

What impact does the internet have on your brand? For me personally, I am proud to say that to have two hundred thousand and above followers means that people are interested in what you are doing. The internet allows direct access to my followers and the people that are interested in my brand and what my brand has to offer. It, also, pushes me to be creative, innovative and to evolve. The internet has drawn me closer to my future customers and also created an avenue for me to showcase some of the things that I probably want to launch. So,

Do you think entertainment is something Nigeria should really look into? We are part of the process and as much as we can get to every sector, the health, entertainment, even the empowerment sector, where we can take kids off the street, we are an important segment of the economy. Not just economy in terms of the money we earn, but the society. It further means that our activities will be the areas that we should look into and properly address them.
