Court gives Police, DSS 12 days to justify clampdown on Peace Corps Andrew Orolua, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday gave the Inspector General of Police, the National Security Adviser, and the Director General of Department of State Security Services, 12-days to justify the clampdown on the Peace Corps of Nigeria.

They were also ordered by the court to defend the arrest and detention of the National Commandant of Peace Corps, Amb (Dr) Dickson Akoh and 49 other members of the corps. Delivering ruling in an ex parte motion filed by the Incorporated Trustees of PCN, Justice Gabriel Kolawole said the respondents must appear in court on March 28, 2017 with af-

fidavit evidence on why an order of interim injunction restraining them from further arresting members of the Corps should not be granted against them. More so, the court asked them to show in the affidavit evidence to be filed in court before March 28, why the court should not order them to unseal or vacate the Continued on page 12

CPC tackles NBC over Sprite, Fanta saga

Continued from page 1

This was disclosed to journalists on Thursday by the Director General of the CPC, Mrs Dupe Atoki in Abuja. Mrs Atoki said that the Council was keenly interested and extremely concerned about the questions that have arisen from, and on account of a judgement whether or not the products could be consumed alongside Vitamin C. In a letter obtained by our correspondent, titled, “Re:Fijibi Adebo Holdings LTD & Anor VS Nigerian Bottling Company Limited & Anor: Suit No LD/13/2008,” and dated March 15, 2017, CPC writes: “it has come to the no-

tice of the Consumer Protection Council that NBC was involved in litigation before the High Court of Lagos State with respect to a quality /safety issue of some of your products, specifically Fanta and Sprite.” CPC further stated in the letter that, in view of this discovery, “this is a matter of urgent national interest and grave concern to the Council and its primary role of protecting consumers.” Accordingly, “the council is immediately opening an investigation regarding the issue. This letter serves as notice to you of this investigation and a demand for the council pursuant to extant provisions of the CPC Act Cap 25, LFB 2004.

“Broadly and specifically, the council refers to, and relies on section 2a, b,c,d,i and j; 3,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,17 and 18.” CPC therefore “request your organisation to provide it with information on: identify every witness that NBC intended to present at a trial, including all witnesses who testified and others intended, but who did not testify. In addition, each witness’s position and role in NBC must be identified in the submission. “Any and all quality assurance or laboratory tests conducted by NBC or commissioned by NBC, or that have come within the control of NBC with respect to Fanta and Sprite between 2008 and March 2017.

“Identify the custodian of composition and component of Fanta and Sprite in the UK and US,” CPC stated in the letter dispatched to NBC. Mrs Atoki explained to journalists that, “The reason for the CPC’s interest is not far-fetched,” pointing out that for years, “Fanta, Sprite and Coca Cola have arguably and consistently been the most widely consumed beverages in Nigeria. The spectrum of consumption is also perhaps the widest, with the consumption starting as early as age four and far into adult years. “In addition, Vitamin C is one of the most consumed medications for both children and adults, both as matter of prescription or

over the counter and, or as dietary supplement. Essentially both the NBC products and Vitamin C are routinely consumed in Nigeria with absolutely no restrictions to access and availability. “The key questions in this investigation among others are, one, is Sprite and Fanta at the time of production potentially harmful to consumers when consumed with vitamin C? “If yes, what is NBC’s obligation to consumers and has NBC fully discharged that obligation? And finally, pursuant to the CPC Act, the council is interested in discovering what steps if any NBC took after the testing and confiscation of Fanta and Sprite by the United Kingdom authorities.”

2019: Falae, Balarabe Musa, Makarfi, Gana, others in crucial talks Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja

ÏÏÏ Former presidential candidate and one time Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, national leader of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Alhaji Balarabe Musa, former Minister of Information and erstwhile presidential aspirant, Prof Jerry Gana, one time governor of Imo State, Chief Achike Udenwa and other top politicians were in a highly rated alliance talks in Abuja on Wednesday night ahead of the forthcoming 2019 general elections. The meeting which held at Ajuji Hotel, Abuja, the nation’s capital and lasted until the early hours of yesterday, also had in attendance former Minister of Solid Mineral and erstwhile Senator from Edo State, Elder Odion Ugbesia , former governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah Jang, Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee (NCC), of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and a host of others.

Those in attendance at the meeting run across several political parties including PDP, Social Democratic Party, SDP, Accord , Labour Party, APGA, National Conscience Party (NCP), African Democratic Congress (ADC) and PRP. The meeting is as a result of ongoing planned merger talks between the PDP Strategy Review and Inter-Party Affairs. Speaking at the opening of the meeting, which started at about 8.50pm, the chairman of the committee, Professor Jerry Gana said it was aimed at exploring areas of possible collaboration in the 2019 polls. He said yesterday’s meeting was a follow -up to an earlier meeting between the PDP and the concerned political parties. According to him, “We are discussing as friendly political parties on ways we can work together or possibly fuse in 2019 general elections. “The purpose of our gathering is very profound. We met before and set up a panel. The purpose of our meeting today (Wednesdays’ night) was to consider the report

of the panel. “We are to decide whether to cooperate or merge. The number of the PDP leaders present is an indication of how serious we take this issue,” Gana said. Speaking at the meeting, former governor of Kaduna State and leader of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Alhaji Musa said “we are here because we are convinced that the situation of the nation is worse in every indication. “We have to do something. We can’t just sit there and do nothing. We are here inspite of our belonging to different political parties to see what we can do to salvage our country. “ The leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Chief Olu Falae represented by Mr Korode Duyile said “I can assure you that Olu Falae is interested in the discussion. We are prepared and ready to join others to form a formidable party that will wrestle power from the ruling party.” The meeting did not however come up with any Communique.

ting in Abuja, on Thursday sent Engr. Andrew Yakubu, former Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to Kuje Prison on remand pending ruling on his bail application on March 21, 2017. Yakubu was yesterday arraigned before the court on a 6-count charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for offences bordering on financial corruption and money laundering. Presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed, ordered Yakubu’s remand in prison custody after prosecution counsel, Prince Ben Ikani and defence lawyer Ahmed Raji SAN, had argued the defendant’s bail application dated March 13, 2017 and filed same day. Earlier, Yakubu had pleaded before the court that he was not guilty of the allegations levelled against him by the Federal Government; a development that made the prosecution counsel to request for date for commencement of his trial. At this point, Raji informed the court of the defendant’s bail application, which the court heard. Specifically, the defence counsel urged the court to grant his client bail “on self-recognizance and/or in the alternative, admit him on bail onerous liberal term.” Secondly, Raji urged the court to order interim release of the defendant’s international passport to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment. Raji posited that Yakubu was about to treat prostate cancer in the United Kingdom which he

cut short because of the EFCC’s invitation. Adducing further reasons for bail, Raji said, “By combined provisions of Sections 158-165 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, except in capital offences, an accused is ordinarily entitled to bail”. However, in opposition, the EFCC lawyer urged the court not to grant bail to Yakubu on “selfrecognizance.” Ikani argued that the medical reasons cited by the defence could not hold water as he said the anti-graft agency monitored Yakubu while in detention. “While under our custody, EFCC monitored his health daily. We have facility and we have been taking care of him. “We have better medical facility all around Abuja. That he is sick and wants to go on medical treatment abroad is like a fairy tale because there is no report of experts to ascertain his health status. “But if the court is mindful of granting their request, we submit that court applies stringent conditions to make him appear for trial. We plead court to refuse granting the defendant bail on self-recognizance” Prince Ikani. After hearing the application, the court adjourned to March 21, for ruling. Count one stated that the former Group Managing Director of NNPC on or before 18 August 2015, at the office of the EFCC knowingly failed to make full disclosure of his assets, to wit; the sum of 9,772,800 United States Dollars only in his assets declaration form he filed on August 18, 2015. The EFCC said the offence ran contrary to Section 27 (3)(a) of the EFCC Establishment Act 2004, and punishable under Section 27 (3)(c) of the same Act.

PDP crisis: How Sheriff reneged on peace deal proposed by Jonathan, Makarfi Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja The Chairman, National Caretaker Committee, NCC, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi has shed more light into how the National Chairman of the party, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff backtracked on the peace proposal by former President Goodluck Jonathan over the crisis rocking the party. Makarfi said this at the meeting of PDP Northern Leaders and Elders which held in Abuja. The NCC Chairman accused Sheriff of blatantly refusing to abide by an arrangement where both of them would resign and forge a settlement at the Supreme Court. Makarfi, while speaking about the crisis rocking the party, said “When Dickson came to meet me on his committee’s report, I told him, you are one of the governors that met with former President Goodluck Jonathan and he spelt out the proposal of peace plan which he communicated to the NASS, communicated to us (caretaker committee) and other organs of the party. “And I asked him, are you now removing yourself from that? Why didn’t you table what you have before your colleagues? I also asked him whether he has taken pains to read the Port Harcourt Appeal court judgement and he said no. “That judgement is based on two premises which we did not accept. The first premise, which we did not accept in our appeal to the Supreme Court, that the tenure of three members of NWC will expire in August this year and 18 will expire in July 2018. “If you now propose to hold convention in June, what are you going to achieve? How will the June convention be different from last year’s in Port Harcourt and he said he didn’t think about that. “And if he didn’t think about it, he shouldn’t do anything that will go against Court of Appeal judgement. What that judgement stipulates is a return to status quo ante. What the court means is that all the national officers before May 21 must return to office. What Sheriff is doing is against the judgement, all his actions run foul of the judgement. “The proposal on the way forward is to revert to the status quo as pronounced by the Court of Appeal. This is what I told Dickson, that he should go back to his colleague governors and other organs of the party to clear the issue. As far as we are concerned, the Caretaker Committee has no position other than that of the organs of the party,” he said. Continuing, he said, “President Jonathan, after meeting with the governors, at about 1am, called me and told me about the resolution they have reached, which he said will be forwarded to the NASS caucus and other organs of the party as part of political solution. “Some of the resolution is that the judgement of Appeal Court must be respected to

stitution of the party, INEC is going to accept it and no one is going to rubbish PDP on that. “In response, I told the former President that the Caretaker Committee has nothing against his proposal but that it will be presented before the organs and if accepted, the Caretaker Committee will stand by it. “Former President Jonathan said he told Sheriff to go and consult and after his reply, he will get back to him. Up till now he has not gotten back to him. What it means is that perhaps, he did not get positive response from Sheriff.” Former Ambassador to the United States, Aminu Wali, said the crisis is beyond Sheriff or Makarfi ,but about the soul of the party. He noted that the party deserved to have a leadership “based on legitimacy and not on technicalities”. Speaking at the meeting, former Minister of Police Affairs, Barr Kabiru Turaki pointed out that the PDP must be rescued from the hands of charlatans, adding that with the appeal at the Supreme Court, Makarfi’s committee can continue to lead the party. Similarly, the former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, asked PDP leaders to reflect on why they lost power after 16 years. While he said the party should ask for forgiveness, the former governor asked “why did God take power away from PDP after 16 years? We must ask ourselves what did we do wrong? How did this power slip away from us? Former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, said the crisis rocking the party is a blessing in disguise, noting that “without this we will never learn”. He however said what the PDP needs now is solidarity. Another former Minister of Police Affairs, Gen. David Jeribewon pushed for a committee where suggestions on how to solve the party’s problems will be submitted. Some of those present at the meeting are chairman of PDP (NCC), Sen. Ahmed Makarfi; former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Maina Waziri; former Minister of Information, Prof Jerry Gana; Aminu Wali; former PDP Youth Leader, Abdullahi Maibasira; Sen Saidu Kumo; Sen Aruwa; Kabiru Turaki; former Jigawa State governor; former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Bala Mohammed; former governor of Adamawa Boni Haruna. Former governor of Kano State Ibrahim Shekarau; Hon Tukur; Gen. David Jeribewon; former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa; former governor of Niger State, Dr Babangida Aliyu; former deputy national publicity secretary of the PDP, Abdullahi Jalo; former deputy governor of Sokoto State, Muktar Shagari; former women minister, Hajiya Inua Ciroma; former governor of Plateau, Sen Jonah Jang; Sen Abubakar Gada and Sen.

Ambode tasks APC govs on meeting expectations of Nigerians Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday charged his counterparts in the All Progressives Congress (APC) fold to devise ingenious ways and means of meeting the expectations of the people they govern. The governor, who spoke through his deputy, Dr (Mrs) Oluranti Adebule at the opening ceremony of the inaugural meeting of the Secretaries to State Governments (SSGs) of APC states held in Ikeja, Lagos, added that they are fully committed to the vision of providing accountable and responsive leadership to citizens in spite of the dire financial strains confronting the country. The governor said that the Pro-

gressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) quarterly meeting of the SSGs is one of the Forum’s strategies of meeting the expectations of the people in order to boost the accountability quoting of all the APC serving governors. “For us on the PGF platform, this is not a moment for self adulation, but that of self examination and stock taking. Our desire is to promote synergy and experience sharing, as a basis for the adoption and uniform implementation of policy initiatives across all APC States. “This makes it necessary for us to frequently expose our thoughts, strategies and actions to the honest scrutiny of our colleagues. That is the very essence of the

peer review efforts we are promoting by this gathering,” he stressed. Governor Ambode explained that the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), by a 2007 mandate of National Economic Council developed and implemented a comprehensive State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM) with the objective to help states improve their development performances through periodic reviews of progress in the implementation of developmental policies, plans and programmes. In a keynote address titled: “Job Creation and Social Protection Initiatives In states”, the Country Manager of International Finance Corporation (IFC), Mrs Eme Essien Lore said for Nigeria to achieve her goals in job cre-

ation, the efforts must be private sector driven. While acknowledging the roles already played by the government at the centre in the campaign for creation of jobs, she stated that more needed to be done in term of collaboration with the private sector. She posited that in order to reduce poverty and increase more inclusive growth, the new jobs to be created must be more productive and must also provide higher income than they currently do. The IFC Country Manager added that between 2010 and 2030, by the analysis of the world body, there would be a need for additional 40 million jobs in the country. Speaking earlier, the governor

of Ogun State and Co-Chair of the PGF Governance Programme, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Taiwo Adeoluwa said the forum provided an avenue for SSGs to compare notes on how to do it better. While commending the organisers for a job well done, he said the meeting was about taking stock for peer review as the coming together would have a salutary effect on the nation. In his introductory remarks, the Director General of the Progressive Governors Forum, Mr Salihu Lukman said the core objective of the Forum was to identify best practices among the states which can be replicated.

CSO worries over security personnel’s interference in electoral process A leader of the Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, Mr Clement Nwankwo, has raised concerns over what he described as security agencies’ interference in electoral processes in the country. Nwankwo, said at the quarterly meeting of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with Civil society Organisations (CSOs) on Wednesday in Abuja that interference of security agencies in elections was worrisome. He commended INEC and the Inspector-General of Police for raising investigative panels on the Dec. 10, 2016 legislative re-run elections in Rivers. “We don’t want to go back to pre2010 where security agencies were perceived to be subverting electoral process,” Nwankwo said. He added that CSOs would be happy to see INEC engage the secu-

rity organisations on interference of their personnel in electoral processes. He also advised INEC to devise a means of addressing the challenge that voters encounter as a result of restriction of movement on election days. According to Nwankwo, this suggestion is important, especially for voters who reside at far distances away from their voting centres. Earlier, INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, had reiterated the commission’s commitment to partner the CSOs in improving the country’s electoral process. Yakubu described CSOs as strong partners in the development of electoral processes. “For instance, since 2015 INEC concluded 167 off-season elections in virtually all the states of the federation. “In the last two major elections

we conducted in Edo and Ondo, INEC accredited 91 CSOs, which collectively deployed 5, 425 officers. “From Kogi election to last Rivers rerun, INEC accredited 468 observer-groups and literally, they deployed thousands of personnel. “The highest deployment was in Kogi followed by Bayelsa, FCT, Edo and Ondo states,” Yakubu said. He added that the reports of CSOs during the elections were also helpful in fine-tuning some of the electoral processes and procedures. He said that in some of the actions the commission had taken, it had implemented some of the recommendations even if we don’t credit specific CSOs. “At the end of the day what is more important is to have viable democracy and election process rather than individuals taking credit,” Yakubu added.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State on Wednesday warned its members against hate speeches in their campaigns ahead of the 2018 governorship elections. Mrs Kemi Olaleye, the party Deputy Chairman in the state, also warned against politics of bitterness that could ruffle the party’s cohesion ahead of the party primaries. Olaleye, in a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun, gave the warning while addressing party members at the secretariat in Ado-Ekiti. She also called for unity and comradeship among members, particularly the aspirants, urging them to ensure that their campaigns were issue-based. Olaleye said that the party would not hesitate to apply appropriate sanctions against any erring member. The deputy chairman said she was

worried about the series of attacks in the social media, adding that such development should stop henceforth. She commended the aspirants that had so far visited the party secretariat to declare their interest. Olaleye said that so far, no fewer than eight aspirants from different parts of the state had visited the party secretariat to indicate their interest to contest the governorship seat. “Therefore, the purported publication in some media that only one aspirant visited the state office of our party is not true. “It will pay us if party leaders and members can remain in unity and lend support to strengthen the party for victory in the coming elections. “The party office is open to all members, and as officers of the party, we are always available to serve the interest of the party and the party members,” Olaleye said.

Bauchi governor’s aide resigns over unfriendly working environment’ The Special Adviser to Bauchi State governor on Investment, Alhaji Samaila Sanusi, said on Wednesday that he had resigned his appointment due to `unfriendly working environment’ . Sanusi, who announced his resignation in Bauchi while briefing newsmen, said he had submitted his letter to the governor, through the office of Secretary to State Government. “I planned to resign since the day you challenged us to continue being in service or quit at the beginning of the executive council meeting, held on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017. “After several consultations with my supporters, I felt it was time for me to go. “As you are aware, our government came into being through popular votes of the overwhelming majority of the good people of Bauchi State.

“There is very high expectation of dividends of democracy from us by the electorate, this calls for deployment of wealth of knowledge and professional experience into play towards meeting the legitimate yearnings and aspiration of our people,’’ he wrote in his letter. He said all avenues to hold talks with the state governor on official issues and development proved abortive. He however thanked the governor for giving him the opportunity to serve in the present administration. Efforts by NAN to reach the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communication, Alhaji Sabo Mohammed, through telephone, for his comment, was futile as he did not pick the call. Press Secretary to the governor, Malam Abubakar Sufi, when contacted for comments, told NAN that he was not aware of the development.

Union kicks, as Aero Contractors lays off 60% workforce Continued from page 1 The current situation where over a thousand people are basically not engaged due to lack of serviceable aircraft is not sustainable for the airline. The huge monthly salary associated with a bloated workforce will eventually kill the airline, which is not the intention of the current government. Aero Contractors currently has aircraft-to-employee ratio of 1:500, which analysts believe is perhaps the worse in the history of global airline industry. Government’s intervention in Aero was to save it from total collapse therefore, all steps such as this (issuance of redundancy letters) to ensure its survival must be put into consideration to save the airline. This decision, the statement added, will immediately reduce the whooping operational cost, which has been stifling Aero; enable the management bring in more aircraft through savings from overheads, pay for C-checks as well as enable Aero have a more manageable and committed workforce in line with international best practices of 50 to 60 personnel to one aircraft unlike what obtains in Aero at the moment. The statement however added that those in Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and other essential staff in critical departments will not be affected by the notification just as Capt. Ado Sanusi, the Chief Executive Officer of Aero and his management team have also ensured that the affected workers will be able to access their full gratuity as well as a part of their pension just to immediately cushion the effect of the development. They also stand a chance of being recalled as soon as Aero increases the number of aircraft in

its fleet in the near future. Before taking this critical but necessary business decision, the management of Aero consistently explained the inevitability of redundancy notification to both the workers and the unions because there was no way Aero could carry on with its over bloated personnel and huge overhead cost. The redundancy letter made available to the media read in parts, “…following the operational challenges of Aero culminating in loss of business opportunities that adversely affected company finances vis-à-vis operations, we are constrained to place you under redundancy pending a possible future review. This decision

was communicated to the unions where their understanding was solicited in view of prevailing operational difficulties…whilst Aero appreciates your contribution to the company and continues to regard you as worthy ambassadors, we solicit your understanding as we struggle to stabilize operations and rebuild the company…” Aero Contractors also assured its esteemed customers, that this exercise will in no way affect operations, rather it will enhance safety, reliability and efficiency. It will be recalled that Capt. Ado Sanusi, a thorough-bred aviation professional was recently appointed to manage Aero, which

remains Nigeria’s oldest carrier with strong brand equity. His mandate is to reposition the airline by returning it to full operational capacity, offering reliable, safe and secure operations, which the airline had been known for over the years. Achieving that also beckons the need for critical business decisions that are both in the long-term, and overall interest of all stakeholders as well as the aviation sector in the country. In a swift reaction, the President of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria ATSSSAN Comrade Ahmadu Ilitrus said he was not aware of the purported redundancy notice to workers.

We won’t surrender PDP to anybody in an undemocratic manner, Makarfi vows Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja

ÏÏÏ As the leadership crisis rock-

ing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), continues unabated, the Chairman, National Caretaker Committee (NCC), of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi has vowed that his committee will not submit the party to anybody in an undemocratic manner. This is even as Makarfi declared that the NCC will only be open to political resolution of the crisis bedeviling the party provided such is genuine, sincere and comprehensive. The NCC chairman said this Thursday when he received members of the Borno State PDP Concerned Grassroots Stakeholders during a solidarity visit on him and members of his committee in Abuja. Borno is the home state of the court recognised National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.

Makarfi, a two-term governor of Kaduna State and former Senator, made it pointedly clear that no member of the NCC is averse to any true and genuine reconciliation, stressing that none of them has a personal interest in the whole matter. According to him, the duty of the caretaker members will terminate when “those people who put us here want us to go, we will go.” While addressing the Borno delegation which included former Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Ina Ciroma and former Minister of Works, Senator Sanusi Daggash, the NCC Chairman said, “We are with you one hundred percent , power to the people is PDP, it is not power to individuals or few groups of individuals. That is what this struggle is all about. “The convention that took decision is a reflection of the people, even NEC that made appointment in acting capacity, how many people made that decision, about 60. In convention, thousands made

the decision. So how do you compare a decision that was made by 60 people and decision made by thousands of people, when you are talking of democracy. “In any case the constitution is clear, which again is supreme. NEC is not superior to convention. The legal argument will be sorted out in due course, but I assure you, irrespective of the legal outcome, we are not going to abandon you. We are not going to abandon true democrats, we are not going to abandon true PDP men and women. “When you are going to a battle, you develop plans A, Option B or C, the ultimate target is that you come out victorious and victory for us is the enthronement of a viable opposition party in Nigeria, enthronement of democracy and replacement of the current government by a government that in one form or the other, God willing, will come 2019. “Road A may be it, road B may be it, Road C may be it. We may be

going by rail, we may be going by car or flying, we may be going by ship, it doesn’t matter, it is to get there. “Yes we are open to political resolution, provided it is genuine , provided it is sincere, comprehensive, democratic, legally water tight and it is not a surrender of the party in an undemocratic manner to anybody including myself. “It is not just about Ali Modu Sheriff, it can be Sheriff or anybody. We will not submit this party in an undemocratic manner to anybody,” he stated. Makarfi, who pointed out that the NCC represents the party’s organs and its followers, stressed that “whatever these organs and the followers of the party want is what we want, but everything has time.” He assured the visitors that the caretaker committee and the relevant organs are working on all possibilities, day and night in such a way that no true party man or woman would be abandoned.

Paris Club Funds: Buhari Orders CBN To Reimburse States Tony Ailemen, Abuja

ÏÏÏ President Muhammadu Bu-

hari Thursday made a dramatic appearance at the Monthly National Economic Council meeting usually Chaired by the Vice President and directed the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to act appropriately and with dispatch in releasing the second tranche of the London-Paris Club refunds to the states in order to ease their financial hardships. The appearance of Mr. President to address the meeting of the National Economic Council made up of State Governors and chaired by the Vice-President was the first in history. The President at the meeting made a strong case for settlement of unpaid salaries and pension liabilities of their workers. “I will not rest until I address those issues that affect our people. One of these basic things is the issue of salaries. It is most important that workers are able to feed their families, pay rents and school fees, then other things can follow,” he said. President Buhari, who went round the Council Chambers to greet the governors one after another, praised the unity of the Forum of State Governors. He thanked them profusely for their display of “love and respect” to him. The President said he was overwhelmed by his recent experience in which states, irrespective of political differences, charged their citizens to pray in mosques and churches for his well-being and apologized to Governors for barring them from visits to him while he rested in London. “I didn’t want government to move to London. I wanted it to remain here and I am glad it did,” he said. After narrating what he went through while on that vacation, President Buhari noted the suggestion by the Governors for him to have more rest, but insisted that he would remain relentless in the pursuit of the interest of the Nigerian people at all times. This, according to him, was the only way to show his gratitude to the people who “had given so much to me. I was overwhelmed by the celebration of my return across the country.” The Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Abdul-Aziz Yari of Zamfara State, assured the President, on behalf of his colleagues, that they will continue to support his policies and actions which they had adjudged as being in the nation’s best interest.

Editorial Nigeria’s polytechnics and development

t is painful to watch the continuing nonchalant attitudes of both the federal and state governments in giving requisite recognition to the place of polytechnic education in the country. Regrettably, this attitude is responsible for the continued ignorance on the place of polytechnic education to the overall technological development of Nigeria. For long, experts and scholars have called on the authorities to give polytechnic education its pride of place. Rather than heed such call, successive administrations have been too faint hearted in channeling adequate resources to technology institutions. Result is that Nigeria continues to lag behind in the competitive race for technological advancement. We are pained at this lack of foresight, especially when it is realised that no nation worth it salt and in quest of economic advancement can ignore the role of polytechnics in achieving it. It is a fact that polytechnic education places emphasis on practice-based learning and skills acquisition. Sadly, the dilapidated infrastructures in most of the country’s polytechnics do not arm them enough to impart such skills. This sorry state of affairs make learning cumbersome, as students and academics find it increasingly difficult to access well-equipped libraries, upto-date laboratories and modern technology gadgets. Incidentally, the increasing number of polytechnics and decreasing government and private funding are adversely affecting the quality of academic staff. This explains, why no polytechnic in Nigeria is among those currently ranked in Africa. Moreover, the sorry state of these institutions is responsible for the lack of technological progress in the country. Is it any wonder

Publisher/Editor in Chief

that even when Nigeria boasts of several polytechnics, her economy continues to stagnate? Observers posit that the reason is that the country’s polytechnics no longer attract bright students, as the latter continue to shun them for the universities, where academic learning is purely theoretical. Moreover, the continuing disparity between university degrees and polytechnic certificates has not helped matters, because it is doing more harm to Nigeria’s educational advancement and economic development. There is no denying that polytechnic graduates continue to suffer from disparities as reflected in their salary grade levels, particularly in the civil service where entry point for Higher National Diploma (HND) holders is Grade Level 07, and those with university degree is GL 08. For long, HND graduates have found it harder to progress beyond GL 14 in their civil service career. This dichotomy has been responsible for the lack of continuing enthusiasm among prospective students to apply for places in polytechnics. With such unsavoury development, it is difficult to see how polytechnic education can really fulfill its goal of producing competent and resourceful personnel to drive the country’s technological and industrial development. It is interesting to note that Europe and America, including China and India owe their technological prowess to polytechnic/technical institutions. It is time federal and state governments implement policies that would give polytechnics their revered role in technology development. Continuing delay would consign Nigeria to a technology backwater. It is time for action to bring the country’s polytechnics to par with peers in other countries.

Titus Akhigbe, Benin

ÏÏÏ Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen in the early hours of yesterday swooped on travelers along the busy Benin-Auchi-Okene Highway and kidnapped 15 persons and killed immediate past chairman of Etsako East local government area in Edo state. The armed men were said to have stopped many of the motorists at the popular Ogbemudia Farm at Iguevbihobo village where they searched all occupants of the vehicles after the victims laid face down on the road.

It was gathered the former council chairman, Mr. Suleiman Afegbua, a cousin to the All Progressives Congress (APC) state vice chairman, Malik Afegbua and ex-special adviser (SA) on media to former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Prince Kassim Afegbua, was said to have attempted to escape from the scene of the attack when the gunmen opened fire at him. The former council boss was shot and died at the spot while other occupants of the vehicles trapped at the scene were also kidnapped and taken to an unknown location. It was gathered that the late Afeg-

bua was on his way to Benin when he met his sudden death. But the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Edo State Police Command, Mr. Moses Nkombe when contacted confirmed the incident but said there was no report of any abduction. He said the victims were travelling in a convoy when the armed men ambushed them at the spot and shot at them in the process. He explained that the ex-council chairman died at the spot while two others sustained gunshot injuries but are responding to treatment at an un-

disclosed hospital in the state capital. Besides, the PPRO pointed out further that there was no indication that the gunmen were Fulani herdsmen, adding that men of the anti robbery squad of the state command have been detailed to comb the bushes within the troubled area. According to him, “there was no indication of any abduction and no such indication that they are Fulani herdsmen. Police Tactical Team of the State Command, Anti Robbery squad are on top of the situation and have been deployed to comb the bushes around the area.

MTNF scholars Alumini Conference: Experts charge Nigerian youths to be different Tony Nwakaegho

ÏÏÏ Nigerian youths have been charged not to allow their challenges be their limitations in the quest to become successful in their endeavours, but to develop the necessary skills, attitudes and attributes to succeed as entrepreneur and excel in their chosen carrier. The call was made during the grand finale of the MTN Foundation Scholars Alumni Conference, held in Lagos as part of several initiatives from the MTN Foundation aimed at empowering the Nigerian youths towards making their lives brighter. Providing insight for becoming a successful entrepreneur in Nigeria, founder of arts and style centre, Tera Kulture, Ms. Bolanle Austen Peters, advised the students and alumni to build valued relationships that will be instrumental in their path to success. According to Austen-Peters, “a valuable relationship and a bold determination is important to climbing and staying on top of the ladder of success. Fear is the enemy, dream big, be bold”. Recounting how he also surmounted his challenges, CEO OkadaBooks.com Ofili Okechukwu encouraged the youths to always explore every opportunity to achieve their objectives. He said: “Don’t get addicted to your degrees. You have to get up and be a reformer, reformers do it until they get it right”.

ALGON, NUT trade words over Delta teachers’ strike action Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

ÏÏÏ The Association of

Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Delta State have engaged in war of words over the alleged unpaid teachers’ salaries and the strike action embarked upon by them. Expectedly, the association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) yesterday expressed regrets over the strike action embarked upon by the teachers, and blamed the decision on the teachers’ union, Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) poor leadership and alleged insensitive to the current paucity of funds. In a statement ALGON issued and signed by its Chairman, Mr. Itiako Ikpoko, a copy made available to our reporter, urged the teachers’ union to urgently reconsider the “negative consequences” of its industrial action to call off the indefinite strike it com-

menced last Thursday. ALGON describing the action by the NUT as “ill-advised”, it noted that the teachers’ union indictment of the Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) in the allegedly reduced of teachers’ salaries to 81 percent, was “incorrect”, adding that the present state of the Nigeria economy had adversely affected the monthly revenue of all Local Governments which are currently weighed down by backlog of salaries, stressing that both primary school teachers and staff of the Local Governments had been beneficiaries of local government statutory allocations. But in a swift reaction, the Secretary-General of the NUT, Mr. Joe Iyalekhue disagreed with ALGON leadership, saying “your association needs prayers” to overcome its unpaid workers’ salaries. He noted that the decision for the teachers to embark on strike action was sequel to the alleged failed prom-

ises by the state government and its inability to ensure teachers at both primary/secondary schools are paid as at when due, and described ALGON’s interpretation of the strike action as “charade and lip service without the interest and welfare of the unpaid teachers at heart. “Those teachers who had not been paid for several months have responsibilities, where would they feed from? ALGON’s statements portend inhuman and insensitivity” he added. Investigation revealed that three primary school teachers before the strike action within Aniocha South Local Government, allegedly feared dead of hunger within the space of few weeks, but the Secretary-General of the Union, Mr. Joe Iyalakhue dispelled as untrue, saying that many of the unpaid teachers took loans, and cannot pay their creditors who threatening “juju means” to recover their money. A primary school teacher, Ngozi

(surname withheld) who spoke to journalists in Asaba narrated now she took a loan of N200, 000 with interest, adding that since six months of the loans, she had had challenges of unpaid salaries; a situation she had been leaving at the mercy her relations to ensure payments. Further investigation revealed that thirteen council staff in Isiokolo, Ethiope West Local Government Area are allegedly facing scandal over barbing saloons they rented for business. ALGONS boss speaking further said “whereas primary school teachers in the midst of the meager allocation, have consistently had their salaries deducted at source, local government staff, have on the other hand been faced with several months of non-payments of salaries, not minding the fact that local government staff go to the same market and attend to same educational and health needs like their primary school counterparts.”

Polio Virus: Ekiti targets 700,000 children for immunization Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti

ÏÏÏ Ekiti State Government has tar-

geted a total of 700,000 children of below age five in the next stage of polio immunization exercise coming under the National Immunization Plus Days(NIPDS). This programme is said to have been organised to prevent Polio epidemic causing acute paralysis to children in the State. According to the State Director, Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Joshua Ileke, the programme would hold between March 25 to 28, 2017 and will involve all the critical stakeholders, including traditional rulers, religious leaders across the 177 wards. Ileke, who spoke in Ado Ekiti , on Thursday during a stakeholders’ meeting held in preparation for the programme , lamented that the relisting of the country as a polio infested nation by World Health Orgnisation as worrisome and intolerable . He said Ekiti has a population of 3.3 million going by the 2003 census and that about 22% of this population are below age five, which he said this substantial population cannot be treated with disdain for Nigeria to maintain a healthy population. “Nigeria was declared polio free in 2014 and this we maintained till 2016 before another outbreak was noticed in Borno State. We were expecting a polio-free certificate from WHO when this happened any Nigeria had to be relisted again as a nation where polio is endemic. “We were able to maintain this for two years before this virus reared its ugly head last year September. Apart from the fact that this exercise will take place in all the 320 health facilities across

‘Relocate headquarters to areas of operation’, - PHCCIMA president tells IOCs Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

ÏÏÏ The Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, & Agriculture (PHCCIMA) has added its voice to the call by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for multinational Oil Companies to relocate their headquarters to their areas of operations. Speaking in Port Harcourt yesterday, the President of PHCCIMA,Dr. Emi Membere-Otaji, said that such relocation would be a major step in quelling the under development, poverty, and the associated social vices of militancy and insecurity in the areas. The PHCCIMA President said that the failure of oil companies to relocate to their areas of opera-

tions would be tantamount to playing the ostrich game. He cited war-torn countries like Libya and Iraq where, he said, the management of international oil companies like, Shell, Chevron, Total, and others resided and still produced oil instead of running to safe havens. He said that the fastest way of curbing the insecurity in the oil producing Niger Delta was for those oil companies’ management to take the bull by the horn to work and reside in their areas of operations. “That way they will lobby and support the government to show strong political will in not only churning out good policies, but in developing the area especially in

infrastructure, education, health, entrepreneurial skills and maintaining security. Then there will be increased economic activities and the youths will be gainfully engaged instead of doing unlawful and illegal things. “Also, because most of the key oil producing states of the country are coastal states, with moribund seaports, re-awaking the Eastern ports in Port Harcourt, Warri, Sapele and Calabar, will not only activate massive economic activities in the South-South and South-Eastern ports of the country through ports and shipping services but will also put most of the youths in gainful employment and not criminality. “Today, the Eastern ports barely

function because of obsolete infrastructure and undredged channels. Most people in the area import and export their goods through the Western ports of Lagos. When we imagine that Singapore, without any natural resources but just a shipping hub is a first world country and that Port Harcourt founded in 1912 by the then colonial government as a port city and economic Mecca for all, at the time, then one can add up and realize the socioeconomic importance of revival of the Eastern ports as panacea to the nation’s current socio-economic dilemma,” he stated. According to him, it was time for government to walk the talk to regain the economies of the oil producing area states.

Community leaders, lawmaker, others back Ambode cleaner Lagos initiative First Bank to enhance business sustainability ÏÏÏ A cross section of market leaders,

community leaders and a federal lawmaker on Thursday lauded the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI) of the Lagos State Government, describing it as a revolutionary move which would go a long way in ensuring proper waste management in accordance with international best practice in the State. Speaking at separate interviews with our correspondent, the community leaders commended the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode for coming up with the initiative, saying that it now behooves the residents of the State to embrace the initiative and support government in its quest to address the environmental challenges confronting the State frontally. Reacting to the development, a member of the House of Representatives representing Agege Federal Constituency, Taofeek Adaranjo said there was no question at all about the good intention

of government with the initiative, adding that it would help to checkmate the health challenges associated with filthy environment. Adaranijo, who was the Chairman of Orile-Agege Local Council Development Area (LCDA), said with the initiative, Governor Ambode has further demonstrated his genuine intention to transform the State and turn it into a mega city in the true sense of the word. “Everybody must key into this initiative because it is a good one aimed at ensuring that we have a clean environment. I want to particularly urge the market men and women, those at the Local Government, the Private Sector Participants (PSP) operators and all the people to support government to achieve the purpose of coming up with this very laudable policy. “It is better for us to key into it and ensure that we support government because at the end of the day, the policy is

for our greater good,” the lawmaker said. Also speaking, Vice Baba Oja of Igando-Ikotun LCDA, Mr Abolaji Ambaliu (Alias Saudi) said the initiative was necessary to comprehensively address the myriad of issues associated with the environment. Ambaliu, who is also the Baba Oja of Irepodun Market, said it was now visible to everyone that the environment was becoming too dirty, and government should not fold its arms, hence the laudable initiative. “I think the Cleaner Lagos Initiative is a good one and Lagos will be better for it. The money being spent to clear the drains for instance is too much and with this initiative, government will have such fund to channel to other developmental projects. “All I just want to say is that government should strictly enforce the new law signed as part of the initiative,” Ambaliu said.

Senate walks out Customs CG for not wearing uniform

Chris Emetoh, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The face-off

between the Senate and the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Custom Service (NCS), Col Hamid Ali (rtd), on Thursday culminated in the upper chamber of the National Assembly walking out the C-G from its chambers for defiling its directive to appear before it in uniform. Ali, who had earlier grandstanded on several occasions that he will not hid the Senate’s directive to appear in uniform, walked into the red chamber’s gallery on Thursday at exactly 11 am in an entirely white kaftans to the chagrin of senators. Shortly after the Comptroller General settled in his chair, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu who presided over Thursday’s plenary session, reminded him of the contents of the Senate resolution which, not only summoned him to come and explain to Nigerians why he imposed the customs duty on cars on them, but to also appear in full regalia of his office as C-G of the NCS. Ekweremadu in his words recalled thus: “In a Senate resolution yesterday, we invited the C-G to throw more light on the imposition of the car import duties and we also asked him to come here today in uniform. The other part of the invitation is that you appear in uniform, so can you explain why you are in mufti.” In his response, which obviously irked the senators, Ali, who craved the indulgence of the house to refer to the letter that he received on March 15, 2016,

said that the letter did not connote that he must wear uniform. But the deputy Senate President disagreed with the C-G’s position noting that “the first letter indicated that you should wear uniform. “The letter you referred to is more like a reminder. The Inspector General of Police, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Prison Service and others including the Chief of Defence Staff who we have severally invited here, wear uniforms, so if you have any reason why you should not wear it, please tell us.” In protest, Ali said there is no law to the best of his knowledge compelling him to wear uniform. The deputy leader of the Senate, Senator Ibn Na’Allah, reminded the C-G of derogatory com-

ments which he made to the image of the senate through his circulars and which were issued in his capacity as Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs. “You are in this chamber because the senate summoned the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs and we expect the CG to appear here today in his complete uniform and regalia of that office which he is occupying.” Referring to Section 7 of the Custom Act, Na’Allah said that any proceeding under this law may be taken in the name of the CG. He also observed section 8 of the same Act as saying that “in carrying out your functions and orders, all officers shall have the same law, the same power as it applies to Nigeria Police Force and every other Military or para-military organization in this country.

“If for the purpose of obtaining admission to any place or of doing or procure to be done like you have done in that circular. Any person not being an officer and assumes the name, designation and, character of an officer may be liable to a fine of N1000. But otherwise, and in your case, it means your appointment is statutory. So, for you to answer the CG, you must conform to the law. As long as you want to order people to do things and to procure etc and want it to be adhered to, you must wear uniform… We will not allow the institution of the senate to be subject to ridicule.” Na’ Allah prayed the senate to order Ali to go back and wear uniform before addressing them adding that nothing short of that should be entertained from the Comptroller General.

Senator Solomon Olamilekan likewise said that “it is only proper that the CG complies with the direction which is crystal clear in the resolution…the CG is a rank and therefore we want whoever acts in that capacity to appear before us in complete uniform before any other business.” However, Senator Ali Wakili, himself a former officer of the Nigeria Customs, interceding for the CG told the senate that to avoid the controversies generated by Ali’s refusal to wear uniforms, the CG should change his designation to that of a sole administrator. Wakili was reacting to the Deputy Senate Presdient’s question on what the situation was with other C-Gs before the incumbent especially during Senator Wakili’s time as a custom officer.

ÏÏÏ

The federal government on Thursday re- arraigned Justice Sylvester Ngwuta on 11 count charge before Justice John Tsoho of the federal high court in Abuja from the initial 16 count charge. No reason was given by the new prosecution counsel, Mrs. Olufemi Fatunde, for the reduction in the number of the charges. Testifying at resumed trial, the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court Ahmed Gambo Saleh, said he knew Justice Ngwuta in 2007 and

The defendant was paid a little above N8m on travels for conferences and seminars and 192,000 dollars for travels. Saleh said that the total salary and allowances of the defendant during the period was a little over N103m.

News Northern Christians back Apostle Suleman, allege plot to silence him

ÏÏÏ A

coalition of Christians in the northern of the country under the aegis of Northern Christian Youth Network (NCYN), has alerted Nigerians to what they called “the surreptitious and dangerous moves to silence the General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman,” stating that it is part of a well-orchestrated campaign to intimidate opposition elements ahead of 2019 elections. The NCYN in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its Secretary, Mr. Yunana Jacob, the group said that “the two-pronged plan being hatched by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, involves using the Department of State Services (DSS) to intimidate and put away Apostle Suleman – the undisputed champion of Southern Kaduna Christians, as well as trying to cook up spurious allegations of infidelity against him.” The Christian youth group said that Governor ElRufai’s agents have been recruiting young women from across Nigeria and some other parts of the world to discredit and impugn the credibility of Apostle Suleman in a manner that has never been seen before. “We have no doubt that from the events of the past weeks, that security agencies have been under tremendous pressure to frame Apostle Suleman under spurious charges to put him out of circulation, for daring ElRufai over the persecution and killing of Christians by Fulani herdsmen in Southern Kaduna,” the statement said. Jacob said the group was slow to react to the unfolding drama because it was shocked when the news first broke, but realised after thorough investigation that El-Rufai’s 2019 presidential ambition was at the heart of Apostle Suleman’s travails. He said the Kaduna state governor’s grand design is to hound his perceived opponents and to ruin every other person’s chances just before the 2019 general elections, thus paving the way for him and his co-travelers to have a field day in running the polls with little or no challenge. The group warned, however, that Nigerians are very discerning and will easily recognize when an innocent man is being framed for political reasons.

Mrs. Aisha Buhariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Screening Exercises for underserved Nigerians

ince the assumption of Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has focused her attention on issues that affect Women and children who are the most vulnerable in the society. Mrs. Buhari understands that the role of women in every society cannot be over emphasized, therefore, their health and well being should be enhanced in order for them to make meaningful contribution both in political and economic participation for national development. She has for many years made her contribution in this regard through the Aisha Buhari Foundation. Her realization of the depth of health challenges faced by women and children prompted her to found a platform called Future Assured. Through this platform, she has been travelling from state to state across the country to build partnerships with stakeholders, and to contribute in providing an enabling environment for the implementation of basic public health programmes and awareness creation on health issues. As a result of the partnerships she has entered into, it became easier to identify what health problem is prevalent in each state, and what contribution a platform like hers can offer. Future Assured has so far identified many of these medical problems which are women killers. These include breast cancer, cervical cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, malaria, and sickle cell anaemia. The morbidity and mortality rate is very high in the country due to these preventable diseases. Diabetes is one of the critical health challenges identified, it is a chronic disease of high blood glocuse which can result in serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. Cases have been on the increase in the past few years. In Nigeria, about 5 Million people are still living with diabetes, while more than 1.5 Million cases of diabetes were recorded in 2015. Also, 40,815 deaths due to diabetes were recorded in adults in 2016. These figures are sure to drop with adequate awareness, especially among those that are vulnerable. Another women killer is Cancer. In Nigeria about 10,000 cancer deaths and 250,000 new cases are recorded annually. Cancer results from abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to spread to other part of the body. There are many types of cancer. But of all the types, breast and cervical cancer affect women the most. Take breast cancer, for example; the first notable symptom of breast cancer is a lump that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue; one breast becoming larger or lower than the other; a nipple changing position or its shape becoming inverted. There could also be some discharge from the nipples, or con-

stant pain in parts of the breast, or even rashes on or around a nipple. Screening of the breast regularly can help in early detection which, in-turn will help achieve early prevention. The mission of Future Assured is to alert women to be conscious of their bodies and train themselves to perform simple self-examination of their breast in order to stay safe. Cervical cancer is another type that affects the cervix. It has no early symptoms; later symptoms may however include vaginal bleeding. Therefore, cervical cancer screening would help in early detection using Pap smear or acetic acid, quick intervention usually prevents its spread. Late detection in both types of cancer is still a major challenge, Therefore awareness creation is still the way out. Hepatitis, sickle cell and other related ailments are blood-related. It is therefore important that people have knowledge of their genotype. Genotype is the collection of genes passed from parents to children. In order to avoid these killer diseases, it has been advised that couples check their genotype before marriage; this will help them avoid having children who may live very sick lives or even die in infancy. Parents should also check the genotype of their children during pregnancy and also after birth. High blood pressure also known as hypertension is another killer that puts

people at the risk of stroke and kidney failure. The disease is on the rise in Nigeria and is a massive killer. The major challenge of hypertension is that people are not aware of the necessity for, or cannot afford regular blood pressure checks. Another is Malaria, which is endemic in Nigeria with 300,000 deaths per year and 100 million cases. Nigeria bears up to 25% of malaria disease burden in Africa, making the country the highest in malaria mortality. Malaria is a treatable and preventable disease that remains a major killer of children. Malaria in pregnant women causes anemia and other complications in both mother and newborn. Malaria is caused by blood parasites from person to person through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is because of the gravity of these diseases that Future Assured decided to advocate for government to pay more attention to these killers, and to conscientize women on the need to understand the danger of these diseases and screen themselves from time to time. In order to show example to the stakeholders and pass the message to women, screening exercises were planned, organized and conducted in states, in collaboration with local NGOs. So far, screenings have held in eight states; these are Cross River, Adamawa, Katsina, Enugu, Nasarawa, Ogun, Oyo and Kogi. It is intended that such screenings will hold in all states of

the country. In consideration of the important of the sense of sight, and the rate at which people are becoming blind, Eye examination was included in the list of ailments for which women were screened. Doctors have recommended tests at least every 2 years. The Eye examination provides accurate assessment of the ability to see, and gauges the general health of the eyes. Eye examination can result in early identification of other eye -related problems. In each of the states listed above, an average of 2000 women have benefitted from these screening exercises; and these are bound to change their own lives and the lives of their friends, spouses and children. Gradually, the practice of self-screening will become the norm, while the number of women lost to these killers will drop considerably. In fact, Mrs. Buhari has secured two mobile clinics in order to ease access to the most difficult to reach areas around the FCT for the purpose of these health screenings. The plan is to have these mobile clinics deployed to all the six geopolitical zones of the country. When this happens, Future Assured and Mrs. Aisha Buhari would have succeeded in their purpose of making a difference in the lives of women in Nigeria.

BRT: Anger, condemnation trail fare hike, operators justify action

Ladesope Ladelokun Following the recent increase in the fares charged by the Bus Rapid Transport, BRT, and LAGBUS, its counterpart, anger, condemnation and other negative tendencies have begun trailing the management’s action. “This will be the last time I will board this bus!’’ That was what our reporter overheard when a minor argument ensued between a commuter and a ticketer at a Bus Rapid Transit terminal at Ketu, a suburb of Lagos. The commuter, who simply gave his name as Peter, was heading to TBS-a route he would now pay N200 to reach, as against the former fare of N120. With a visage clouded with anger, Peter told our reporter that, ‘‘It’s terrible the way we are being treated. Things are difficult everywhere. Prices of goods have soared, and we have to pay more for a bus that is expected to take burden off us. They have increased everything, but they won’t increase our salary. And to think this is a bus expected to be regulated by government!’’ He said, “If I keep patronizing them, then I’m encouraging them. I won’t board this bus again. At least, if I can’t reverse the price, it’s my way of protesting against their action.’’ Fola Adeniran is another distraught commuter, who wore worries on his face at the same bus terminal. He also was dissatisfied over the increase. Like Peter, he said the news of the increase hit him like a bolt. Fola had only N120 on him when he got to the BRT terminus. He had expected that that would be enough to take him to CMS, where he would get money from his boss to take him back home. But Fola was told to part with N200 to get to his destination. He said,‘‘ I only have N120 on me. I don’t have any other money; and I have to be at CMS. Someone told

me I could board the red bus and pay N150 as my transport fare. I have to beg for N30 from someone else in order to add to what I have on me. I think it’s easier for me that way.” When told that the government had announced that it had approved between 20% to 50% fare increase for BRT and LAGBUS before it took effect on March 1, Fola said,” Does itmatter? Does it justify the hardship they have now inflicted on us? See, these people only represent themselves. They don’t care about us. Where is even the light to watch TV and listen to radio. Sometimes, I just wonder if we exist for the government or the government exists for us.’’ Justifying the increase, a Lagos resident, Kola Ariyo, says, ‘‘ BRT, LAGBUS and other franchise buses have redefined road transportation in Lagos. It’s a nice concept. Air-conditioned buses that are befitting of a mega city are now available. What many fail to understand is that this concept is private sector-driven; and only regulated by the government. And we must not forget that the operators of BRT and LAGBUS operate in the same economy we are all complaining about.” He added, ‘‘ How do they stay afloat, if the price of their services don’t reflect the current economic realities? We all need to be fair to them. It is a private concern that is only regulated by the government.’’ Another Lagos resident, Smart Odili, says the common man must not be made

Ambode

to suffer government’s unfavourable policies. “It’s not the ordinary Nigerian that created all these economic woes we face. They increased the price of fuel. The value of the Naira has dropped. All these are not caused by the common man. Yet, they make us pay for the bad policies of the government. Even if they will increase bus fares, should they add as high as N80 and N100? If they increase the fares by just N30, we can understand.’’ It would be recalled that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode had approved between 20% to 50% fare increase for BRT and other franchise buses, with effect from March 1 this year. For instance, Ikorodu to TBS route, was increased from N200 to N300; Ikorodu to Fadeyi increased from N120 to N200; Ketu to CMS rose from N120 to N200; Ikotun to Iyana Ipaja now costs N100 as against the former N50. For some commuters, Lagos franchise

These people only represent themselves. They don’t care about us. Where is even the light to watch TV and listen to radio? Sometimes, I just wonder if we exist for the government or the government exists for us

buses are better alternatives to other transport options that predate them. The BRT, for example, is believed by many to guarantee fast and reliable bus travel by relying on the use of dedicated lanes, making them faster whenever there is traffic congestion. However, despite the comfort some commuters believe are associated with franchise buses, especially the BRT buses, things may not be the same again, if the lamentation of some ticketers are anything to go by. This is because, a ticketer, who pleaded anonymity, lamented low patronage of commuters, recorded following the increase. ‘‘If it were before, you would see long queues here. But, as you can see, everywhere is dry. Some of them are saying they can’t see the difference between the fares of our bus and the yellow buses. And, if there is, the difference is not much. So, they believe it’s a waste of time to queue when they can board another bus for almost the same amount without stress.’’ On how the increase in fares affects her, she said, ‘‘ The drivers don’t really have any problem. We are not happy that we are recording low sales. Our salary is dependent on the sales we make. It is based on commission. “ Explaining why the hike in bus fares was necessary, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mr Abiodun Dabiri, said the increase was necessitated by the economic downturn in the country. He says the current financial crunch has shot up the average cost of operations by 110%; adding that the cost of fuelling the buses has gone up by 71%; and tyre by 90%. According to Dabiri, to prevent the scheme from total collapse, “government had to consider the request of operators for an upward review of bus fares.’

Group calls for Sen. Binta Masi Garba’s resignation Tom Garba, Yola

ÏÏÏ A group under the um-

brella of “APC National Youth Vanguard, Adamawa Northern Senatorial District” has called for the resignation of Sen. Binta Masi Garba, after a close door meeting held in Mubi, Adamawa State. The group quoted that “our attention has been drawn to comments and Interviews made by the Youth Leader of Centre for Peace and Positive Leadership Adamawa State, Comrade Kabiru Duhu in which he laments the way and manner the Senator is representing below expectation of the people and they decided to call for a close door meeting after their consultations in the Constituency. Our correspondent found out that the meeting was successful and wasn’t concluded as consultation is still going on and the leader refused to inform the press on the outcome, but only said they will

finalize the meeting next week and will inform the general public on their resolution. Meanwhile a source that doesn’t want his name to be disclosed and was in the meeting said, the meeting held for two (2) hours and have discussed on many issues affecting the zone and Sen. Binta Masi Garba which he said, she doesn’t even have a Constituency office that complaints can be submitted to. Even her so called close associates she do nott pick their calls nor contact them to know what is

happening in her constituency. All she has been doing is to travel around the globe without proper representation of the people in the National Assembly. In one of her trips, the Senate caucus met and decided to remove her from Senate Chairman Committee on TET-Fund. She said to us that she is not even in Nigeria as she is talking and she came to her Constituency only a few times since her assumption of office. She visited Maiha twice and Madagali only ones. “Binta gave her younger brother a contract to construct Desk for few schools and renovates some which she is now parading as an achievement she recorded.” “She is the only politician in that zone that doesn’t have a functional structure because she has abandoned the people/. We see them around Mubi discussing her everywhere. They said they will only collect her money and not vote for her in 2019.

Consultant tasks Govt on improvement on Health facilities Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

ÏÏÏ The three tiers of Gov-

ernment in Nigeria have been charged to review their existing health-care delivery system towards addressing emerging challenges in the sector. A Human Resources consultant in Health area, Alhaji Ibraheem Abdullah gave the charge while speaking with newsmen in llorin, the Kwara state capital on Thursday. on this year’s Glaucoma Day. He stressed the need for governments at all levels to update their existing health facilities with modern equipment and qualified health personnel. This he added was the only way to curtail travel to other countries for health matters and to adequately cater for the needs of the Nigerians. Abdullah stressed the need for the government to inject more funds into critical branches of medicine

and specific areas of the health sector to further improve the wellbeing of Nigerians. The Human Resources consultant noted that the health sector needs vital information and consistent public awareness to sensitize the people on danger and prevention of outbreak of diseases. Abdullah encouraged public and private media owners in the country to assist their organisations with financial and logistic support to effectively embark on public health awareness activities. He appealed to the Kwara government to establish a special Eye Care Center in all the three Senatorial Districts of the state to provide timely medical interventions on Eye related diseases. Abdullah applauded the Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed for her interest on cancer detection, treatment and management in the state.

State Commissioner for Establishment, Pension and Training, Dr. Akintola Benson Oke, has reiterated Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s commitment to ensure that civil servants in the State acquired the relevant skills required for optimum performance in the discharge of their duties. Speaking on Thursday at the commencement of a two-day workshop organised by his Ministry in collaboration with XLS Concepts Ltd., on ‘Leadership Success Through Synergy: Performance in Public Sector Development’, holding in Lagos, Oke said the government was poised, more than ever before, to ensure a total turnaround of the State’s Civil Service. “By now, I am sure you can appreciate the wisdom behind the decision of Lagos State led by Governor Ambode, to approve this training programme. This is proof that his administration recognises the importance of team work and synergy in achieving corporate objectives. “This also represents the commitment of the governor to fully assist the Lagos State Civil Service to appreciate and acquire the benefits that trainings bring to bear on the attainment of the strategic objectives of the government and effectiveness of the institutions of the Lagos State Civil Service,” he said. The Commissioner added that with common interests, common values and complementary talents, civil servants could improve on their overall performance in the Service.

ÏÏÏ Senator Lanre Tejuoso, has

decried the low budgetary appropriation for the Nigerian health sector, describing it as one of the main reasons for its poor service delivery, incessant industrial actions and decay. The Senator, representing Ogun Central Senatorial Zone, said there was an urgent need to reverse the trend in the overall interest of the people. Senator, who spoke at the opening ceremony of the ongoing twoday forum, tagged: ‘Dubai-Africa Partnership for Better Health,’ currently holding at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, said that whereas, the World Health Organisation,

WHO, had recommended that each of the member-nations should set aside at least 15 per cent of their annual budget to fund the health sector, the contrast is, regrettably the case in Nigeria, as less than four per cent of its annual budget is spent to fund the critical sector. Tejuoso, who is also the Senate Committee Chairman of Health at the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, Abuja, said his support for the ongoing forum was to enhance partnership between Nigeria, Dubai, India, including the 15 participants at the forum with a view to adding value to the Nigerian health system. He described as huge, the amount of money Nigerians spend on medical tourism in Dubai, India, Europe and other parts of the

world, saying that the situation needed to be reversed in favour of the country and save foreign exchange. The leader of the delegation, comprising such heath institutions as, Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic; Iranian Crescent HospitalDubai; Medcare Hospital, Thumbay Medical Tourism and Dubai Health Experience, Dr. Layia Mohamed Marzougi said the initiative is to “Build partnership between Nigeria and Dubai in the area of critical health care needs,” saying that, it is a win-win situation for both countries. She said the move would ultimately provide opportunities for Nigeria and Dubai to exchange knowledge, professionals; open new markets and create robust

N4.6bn fraud: Judge hands off from Fani-Kayode, Usman, others’ trial Peter Fowoyo

ÏÏÏ A Federal High Court, Ikoyi

Lagos on Thursday withdrawn from the trial of two Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Mrs Esther Nnenadi Usman, over an alleged N4.6billion fraud. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on June 28, 2016 arraigned FaniKayode who was a former Minister of Aviation and a former Minister of State for Finance, Mrs Usman. Also known arraigned alongside the duo are: Danjuma Yusuf and a company, John Trust Dimensions Nigeria Limited on a 17-count charge of alleged N4.6billion fraud before the court. Fani-Kayode had, however, in an application through his lawyer, Norrison Quakers (SAN) asked the judge to hands off from the matter on the ground of alleged

bias.The former Minister and his co-accused are also seeking for the transfer of the case to the Abuja Division of the court. In a ruling on the matter yesterday, Justice Muslim Hassan, while yielding to Fani-Kayode’s request asking him to withdraw from the matter, said he will transfer the case file to the Chief Judge of the court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, for re-assignment to another judge.According to the judge, even though no evidence has been placed before the court by Fani-Kayode to buttress his claim of bias, he will ‘hands off ’ the case in the interest of justice. He said it was an open fact that he prepared the charge preferred against Fani-Kayode by EFCC in 2008, being the head legal department of the commission then but he never participated in the prosecution of Fani kayode, as such was prosecuted by Mr. Festus Keyamo.

She thanked Senator Tejuoso for facilitating the programme, which she said was its first of its kind between the two countries, adding that both Nigeria and Accra, Ghana were the pilot venues for now. Other participants, including Jannat Armarnani, Marketing Manager, Bourn Hall, described the event as exciting, and called on Nigerians to embrace fertility clinic services her company provides. Team Manager, Business Development, MEDCARE Hospital, Joseph Renaldo Dingson, assured Nigerians that the services provided by his company were pocket-friendly; and urged them to embrace them to enhance their health needs.

However, Okeke Chimaobi, a Nigerian medical doctor, while applauding the programme for creating potential opportunity for health care development in the country, added that, Nigerian medical practitioners are doing well, but that they needed support to be more competitive at the global level than they are doing now. He said, however, that the partnership which the Dubai-based firms were seeking with Nigeria, could ultimately lead to more capital flight out of the country in favour of Dubai and India, just as Nigeria’s heard-earned foreign exchange would still be expended on this business relationship, especially through importation of critical medical equipment and other needs.

Noah Bazee’s injury may rule him out of friendlies

erman-based Noah Bazee has an injury could hanging over him which has put in doubt his hopes of a debut for Nigeria’s Super Eagles later this month. Bazee was named in coach Gernot Rohr’s squad for two friendlies against Senegal and Burkina Faso in the upcoming international window. Both matches will be played at the Hive Stadium in London, with the Super Eagles facing Senegal on March 23, followed by a clash against the Burkinabe four days later. Bazee is hoping to make his debut for Rohr’s side in the matches, but a knee injury saw him miss training for his German club Hannover 96 on Wednesday. The Nigerian also missed training sessions ahead of Hannover’s recent

matches against 1860 Munich and Karlsruhe. Bazee is not the only injury worry

for the Super Eagles, with Chelsea’s Victor Moses also likely to miss out on the friendlies due to a calf strain.

been fined N200,000. According to tweets from the official handle of the LMC, Plateau United’s Boboye himself has been banned for three games for failing to conduct himself in a professional manner during the fiesty encounter. He is also fined N100,000 by the LMC. Also charged is Plateau United’s goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye. The former Nigeria U17s and U-20s shot stopper will serve a one-match ban for displaying behaviour capable of inciting others through his verbal altercation with 3SC supporters during the game.

adagascan football administrator Ahmad Ahmad has been named the new CAF President after defeating incumbent Issa Hayatou in Thursday’s vote. In the election, which was held at CAF’s 39th General Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ahmad defeated Hayatou in a shock result after picking up 34 votes to the 70-year-old’s 20. Hayatou had been in power since 1988 when he replaced Abdel Halim Mohammad, and has overseen significant growth in the continental game and in Caf’s standing within the global football community. The Cameroonian who as a result of this defeat will lose his position on the ruling council of world football’s governing body, was led from the auditorium by aides who ignored requests for comment from media. In contrast, Ahmad was carried on the shoulders of supporters to the podium after the result was announced. He becomes the body’s sev-

enth president after Abdel Aziz Abdallah Salem (19571958), Abdel Aziz Moustafa (1958-1968), Abdel Halim Muhammad (1968-1972), Yidnekatchew Tessema (1972-1987), Abdel Halim Muhammad (1987-1988) and Issa Hayatou (1988-2017). Ahmad is 54-years-old and was also the President of the Malagasy Football Federation, and not much has been heard from him over the years because he was a silent member of CAF’s Executive Committee. He is from a northwestern Malagasy village and is the first Madagascan to run for the presidency of a continental confederation. The Chairman of the Madagascar FA changed his stance when he revealed that he will be the one to take on Hayatou. The 70-year-old Hayatou had been fearing that Ahmad was pulling the strings from Southern Africa, especially when 24 African football association (FA) presidents met with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in Harare recently. That fear was realised on Thursday, March 16.

FG seeks Senate approval for $500m Eurobond Simon Ugwu

The Federal Government has urged the Nigerian Senate to approve $500 million Eurobond to fund the 2016 Budget deficit. In a letter to the Senate read by president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo explained that the request was based on the 2016 appropriation, which provided for new borrowings. Part of the letter read: “The Senate may wish to refer to item 229 and 244 of the 2016 Federal Government of Nigeria Appropriation Act which provided for

a deficit of N2, 204.74 billion and new borrowings of N1, 818.68 billion, respectively. “The Act also provided for domestic borrowing of N1, 182.80 billion and external borrowing N635.88 billion in line with item 245 and 246, respectively. “The Senate may also wish to note that while the approved domestic borrowing has been fully incurred, the N635.88 billion on external borrowing has not been fully accessed. “The external borrowing incurred today consist of 600 million dollars from the African Development Bank and one billion dollars Euro Bond for the International Capital Market (ICM) only.

“It was based on the 2016 appropriation and applying the average exchange rate, there is headroom to access further international funds. “Following the high oversubscription of one billion Euro loan, we wish to take advantage of the favourable market conditions to issue a euro bond debt management of 500 million dollars to fund implementation of the 2016 budget. “The Senate may wish to note that in line with the requirement of security issuances in the ICM, a specific resolution of the National Assembly as a firm confirmation of the approval of the legislature is required.

“This is for the Federal Republic of Nigeria to borrow the 500 million dollar through the issuance of the Euro Bond debt instrument in the ICM. “The Senate may wish to note that the proceeds of the Euro Bond are to be used as funding sources to finance the budget deficit, including capital expenditure projects as specified in the 2016 Appropriation Act,” said Osinbajo. Explaining further, he said: “with respect to the terms and conditions of the Euro Bond, the letter indicated that the terms and conditions of the Euro Bond may only be determined at the point of issuance.

NBC to stop importation of mobile transmitters

Tony Nwakaegho

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has expressed determination to stop the importation of mobile transmitters by non-state, secessionist groups, who are deploying it to broadcast anti-national propaganda. Mr Is’haq Modibbo-Kawu, Director-General of the Commission, made the disclosure while briefing newsmen at the National Headquarters of the commission

in Abuja, adding that there is national security issue involved in the importation of mobile transmitters. He said “There are mobile transmitters being imported by non-state, secessionist groups, who are using these transmitters to broadcast anti-national, propaganda. “This is part of their effort to de-legitimise our country and propagate hate as well as secessionist propaganda.” He decried that one of the is-

sues facing NBC was the clash of frequencies all over country, stressing that City-based FM radio stations are permitted under the terms of their licenses to install 2KW transmitters. “That way, it is possible for NBC to repeat frequencies in various cities around Nigeria. But what has been happening is that stations go to purchase and install transmitters beyond the power that they were initially allocated. “Over 90 stations with such

transmitters installed beyond their capacity have been identified across Nigeria,” DG NBC said. Modibbo-Kawu hinted that the commission had written to the Nigeria Customs Service, for NBC to re-commence the process of pre-inspection of all imported transmitters into the country. He explained that was the process in the past and through that way, the commission could control the importation of such transmitters into the country.

Stories by Motolani Oseni As the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sets to meet between next Monday and Tuesday, March 20- 21, 2017, a financial analyst has projected that there would be no changes in all economic instruments. At the end of its first meeting in January, 2017, the Committee resolved to retain interest rate at 14 percent, the cash reserve requirement (CRR) at 22.5 percent, held the liquidity ratio at 30 percent, and retained the asymmetric corridor at +200 and -500 basis points around the MPR. Speaking on phone with our correspondent, an Associate Professor, Dr. Uche Uwaleke, HOD, Banking &Finance, Nasarawa State University, said that the CBN’s lending rate was expected to remain at 14 per cent while Cash Reserve Ratio

MPC: CBN to retain all economic instruments – Analyst (CRR) at 22.50 per cent, while liquidity ratio remains at 30 per cent. Due to the drop in February inflation rate to 17.78 percent, he believed it is a clear indication that the MPC may not want to change any of its instruments. Dr. Uwaleke, explained that the CBN’s effective policies in the foreign exchange market has impacted positively on foreign reserves, stressing that the committee might not introduce new policy. According to him, “the decline in Inflation rate is happening for the first time in 15 months from 18.72 per cent to 17.78 per cent in February. “The MPC members might

want to wait further. I don’t think they might want to introduce new rates because of drop in inflation rate, because if the headline inflation rate continuous to move downward, of course it might force to Committee to review the rates in the next meeting.” He pointed out that the CBN’s foreign exchange interventions have increased liquidity given the further appreciation of the Naira. According to him, “The CBN interventions are geared towards boosting liquidity and reducing volatility in the foreign exchange market. “The CBN had intervened in the interbank foreign exchange

market by offering over $1.2 billion for both wholesale and retail end users recently and that has help in boosting liquidity in the system. “As noticed, the naira at the parallel market has been appreciating and it has closed the gap gradually. “This has been made possible with the growth in foreign reserves as global oil prices has recorded some improvement. “As long as the global oil market continued to be favourable and improvement in foreign reserve, we can expect that the CBN will have the necessary muscle to continue to intervene “If those interventions are

sustained, they will have positive impact on the foreign exchange rate.” Meanwhile, the nation’s external reserves gained a total $58million in 11-days to record the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said external reserves gained $58 million to $30.267 billion as at March 14, 2017, the data by CBN has shown. This is just as the gap between the interbank market and parallel market end of the foreign exchange market continued to widen. Despite the recent decline in global oil prices, the external reserves continued to increase in March from $29.6 billion it opened in to $30.67 billion as at March 15, 2017.

Rising inflation accounts for issuance of more bonds –DMO The nation’s Debt Management office (DMO), on Thursday said it had issued more bonds than originally planned at an auction after slowing inflation rate helped it offer debt at lower yields. Just this week, the National Bureau of statistics (NBS) revealed that headline inflation rate dropped to 17.78 per cent in February, 0.94 per cent below 18.72 per cent in January this year on the backdrop of slower rise in food and non-food prices. The debt office, also said

it raised 160 billion naira ($509m) at an auction on Wednesday, 30 billion naira more than it had offered to sell. Nigeria’s inflation slowed to 17.78 percent in February, its lowest level in 15 months. The government has been selling bonds below inflation in recent months to curb borrowing costs as it intends to fund half of this year’s forecast budget deficit of 2.36 trillion naira ($7.50 bln) through the domestic debt market. An 80 billion naira bond due 2036 was sold at 16.28

percent against 16.77 percent at its last sale, while a 2021 debt was issued at 16.24 percent against 16.55 percent previously to fetch 30 billion naira. Another 50 billion naira due in 2027 was issued at par at 16.28 percent. Total demand at the auction stood at 216.38 billion naira compared with 337.03 billion naira at last month’s sale. Nigeria issues domestic bonds every month to raise money to fund its deficit, which also helps the banking system manage its liquidity.

In the same direction, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) yesterday sold more treasury bills than originally planned at an auction after it lured demand for one-year debt with yields above inflation. The bank raised 253.8 billion naira at an auction on Wednesday, 40 billion naira more than it had offered to sell. It offered the one-year bill at 18.55 percent to raise 166.3 billion naira, against a yield of 18.49 percent at its last auction and higher than February’s inflation rate of 17.78 percent.

The President, Association of Bureau De Change (ABCON), Mr. Aminu Gwadabe has said retail currency bureaux are not happy with different applicable exchange rate and the lack of intervention from its sub sector. He also disclosed that the CBN cleared 3,124 BDCs for this week’s $25 million auction to be sold by international money transfer firm Travelex at 381 naira per dollar. Speaking with our correspondent, Gwadabe said, “We are always in support of the efforts of the CBN in exchange rate convergence. However, the effectiveness of any strategy will depend largely on carrying all the stakeholders along. In business there is only a deal when all parties are happy. He noted that operators are not doing enough in supporting Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on its foreign exchange motive to achieve convergence in the market.

Gwadabe

He, however, lauded the CBN for increasing the number of BDCs participation in the international money transfer to 3,124 this week from approved 3,114 BDCs last week. “The BDCs are not happy on the different applicable exchange rate between the operators and the lack of any intervention on the BDCs sub sector as they remain the potent tool of CBN to achieve rate convergence in the market. “The increase in the number of participating BDCs in the IMTSO window for last week and this week have already impacted positively in the market. The Naira have gained strength from N455/$ to N450/$ this afternoon,” he said. Meanwhile, the CBN yesterday cleared more BDCs to take part in a weekly dollar sale to boost liquidity and support the naira which is weak at the black market.

Capital Market B3 Stakeholders finger policy, inclusiveness, others as challenges to business sustainability Bonny Amadi, Stakeholders of Nigerian economy on Thursday in Lagos identified policy inconsistency, executive buy in, culture and education among other factors as impediments to implementing business sustainability initiatives in the country. Business drivers at the third sustainability conference in Nigeria, called for not just strict regulations to sustain corporate organisations and the economy, but stronger policy geared towards sanctions, inclusiveness, education and executive buy in. Implementation of sustainability initiatives the participants noted rewards economies and organisations better than

short term profit making, but rides on positive reputational image reward concerns and their stakeholders on long term basis. Participants at the event, organised by GRI, EY in collaboration with the Nigerian stock Exchange (NSE), harped on the need for sustainability implementation, practices, reporting and initiatives to cut across all strata of both the private and public sectors. Ms. Tinuade Awe, General Counsel and Head of Regulation, the Nigerian stock Exchange (NSE) said in her remark that said that sustainability should be all inclusive to drive national economic development as unlisted companies were yet to include sustainability in their operations.

NB’s local sourcing of raw materials gets presidential applause Bonny Amadi The backward integration policy of the Nigerian Breweries Plc, local sourcing and value chain processing of raw materials, have elicited the commendation of eminent Nigerians committed to economic advancement of the country and citizenry. Nigerian’s former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Ogun state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun commended the backward integration policy of Nigeria’s foremost brewing company in its bid to economically empower Nigerians to further make positive contributions to advancement of the nation’s economy. The duo lauded Nigerian Breweries at the commissioning of the company’s upgraded brewery in Ota, Ogun State, as they enjoined other corporate organisations to emulate the rewarding footsteps of the

Nigerian brewing Icon, MAKERS OF Star beer, Gulder beer among other Nigerian top brand alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Ogun state is home to two of the ten operating breweries of the company and also plays host to a myriad of ancillary companies that Nigerian Breweries supports. At the ceremony, Governor Amosun, who was informed by the Chairman of Nigerian Breweries Plc Chief Kola Jamodu, about the successes the company has recorded in terms of its local sourcing and backward integration agenda, specifically commended the company for the local sourcing of over 50% of its raw materials and 95% of its packaging material. According to the governor, “It will be in our collective interest for companies in Ogun state and even the entire country to source their materials locally.

Although the audit is currently ongoing, the nature and volume of audit reviews and documentations being undertaken will make it absolutely difficult to meet the 31st March deadline” IEI recently appointed EY following the issue of elapsed tenure of the former Auditors (BDO Professional Services) that was brought to the notice of the company’s interim board. BDO professional services had served the company for five years and in compliance with the NAICOM Code of corpo-

rate Governance the Interim Board of Directors deemed it fit to change the Company’s auditors. Consequently, the firm of Ernst and Young was duly selected by the interim Board and as required by law, their appointment and approval for fixing their remuneration was done by the Shareholders at the recently concluded Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Kano on the 23rd February 2017, IEI also stated. The statement signed by both the company’s Chief Financial Officer, Emmanuel Bassey and its Interim managing Director and CEO, Peter Irene, further noted that IEI’s

interim Board appointed by NAICOM met the company in a dire shape and since their appointment in May 2015 took steps to ensure that the outstanding accounts of 2012-2015 were audited, approved and filed with the various regulators. The company is hopeful that its application to the NSE for an extension of time till the 30th of June 2017, would be met with receipt of approval of the company’s audited accounts from its primary regulator (NAICOM). Adding that its regrets any inconvenience the delay may have caused its stakeholders and investors.
