Short News INEC shifts Bayelsa, Kogi governorship polls to Nov. 16 Osinbajo, Ambode commission new Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has shifted the governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states from the earlier announced date of November 2 to November 16. The two –week shift in the polls was made known by a National Commissioner and Chairman of INEC Committee on Voter Education and Publicity, Festus Okoye. Okoye said the shift in the date was in response to several appeals from stakeholders in Bayelsa state requesting a change in date from November 2 to enable the government and people

of the state observe its annual thanksgiving service slated for November 2. According to him, the commission had on April 9 declared November 2 as the date for gubernatorial elections in the both states. He said the commission at a meeting on Thursday considered the request of the government of Bayelsa state and decided to fix a new date. Recall that the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah on Tuesday led a delegation of stakeholders in the state to INEC headquarters to appeal for a change in date. Okoye said the commission

also approved an amendment into the scheduled election time -table INEC fixed the August 18 for collection of nomination forms CF001 and CF002 by political parties at the commission’s headquarters and the conduct of party primaries between August 18-September 15. The parties will start electioneering campaigns on August 18 and conclude campaign on November 14. Other scheduled dates include, the last day for the submission of forms is October 2, publication of final list of nominated candidates by INEC October 17 and last day for the submission of names of party agents November 2.

LASU senate building Benjamin Omoike

Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and Lagos state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday commissioned the new Senate building of Lagos state University (LASU), expressing optimism that the ultra-modern edifice will go a long way in enhancing academic activities and positively changing the landscape of the institution. Osinbajo, who delivered the 23rd convocation lecture of the university before inaugurating the Senate building, also said the time has come for African countries to invest more in education to lift the people of the continent out of poverty. Speaking on the theme: “Africa centres of excellence in African universities: A veritable catalyst for nation building and development,” the Vice President also, said that the time has come for African universities to be at the forefront of building research and collaboration to find lasting solutions to the myriads of challenges confronting the continent. “So what do we need to do to convert our country to the greatest centre for innovation and creativity in the world? Three things; number one education, number two education and number three education. The truth is that education is the most powerful force for socio- economic change in the world. “The UNESCO global education monitoring report and the education commission’s learning generation report provide important evidence on the impact of education on an individual’s earnings and economic growth,” Osinbajo said.

Lawmaker-elect in EFCC net over N26m property fraud Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Ilorin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a member-elect of the Kwara state House of Assembly, Abdulgafar Ayinla over his alleged involvement in property scam, forgery and obtaining money under false pretense amounting to N26 million. Ayinla, who is expected to be sworn-in on May 29 has confessed to the commission of the crime, disclosing that he used the money to finance his political campaigns.

She alleged that “the lawmaker-elect sold to me another two plots of land with four -bedroom bungalow at window level at Agric area of Ilorin. I paid N8, 240, 000 as commission of which Ayinla informed me that the seller had received his money, but he never paid the money to the seller up till today and never refunded the money to me.” The suspect disclosed that he diverted the money to his personal use and promised to pay back when he receives his wardrobe allowance from the Kwara state House of Assembly.

$9.8m fraud: You have a case to answer, court tells Yakubu Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Thursday ruled that the former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Andrew Yakubu has a case to answer on the charges of money laundering. Consequently, Justice Mohammed has ordered Yakubu to open his defence on July 3 in the $9.8 million fraud allegation brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Yakubu had through his counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN) filed a no-case submission on December 5, 2018, arguing that the evidence presented by the prosecution’s seven witnesses did not establish a case against him and so the charges should be dismissed. The EFCC had through its counsel, M.S. Abubakar filed a reply dated January 15, arguing that a prima facie

case had been established against Yakubu, and that there were grounds to proceed with his trial. The EFCC had on October 17, 2018, closed its case against the former NNPC helmsman after calling the seventh witness, Suleiman Mohammed, an operative with the commission, who testified as to how operatives on February 3, 2017 recovered $9,772,000 and £74,000 stashed in a huge fireproof safe in a building belonging to Yakubu located at Sabon Tasha area of Kaduna state. A 32 gigabytes memory card and two mini discs which contained the recording of the raid were also admitted in evidence by the court. Ruling on the no-case submission on Thursday, Justice Mohammed held that: “I agree with the defence counsel that the prosecution has failed to prove the essential elements of transportation of money on counts five and six. I accordingly discharge the defendant on counts five and six. “Even though I am tempted to

discharge the defendant on counts one to four, I am however, constrained to ask the defendant to explain how he came about the monies recovered from his house. “Fortified with my position, the defendant is hereby ordered to enter his defence in respect of counts one to four.” Justice Mohammed thereafter, adjourned the matter to July 3 for the defence to open its case on counts one to four which is on failure to make full disclosure of assets and receiving cash without a financial institution, an offence committed under Section 1 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 as amended in 2012. Yakubu was arraigned on March 16, 2017 on a six-count charge of failure to make full disclosure of assets, receiving cash without going through a financial institution, which borders on money laundering and intent to avoid a lawful transaction under law, transported at various times to Kaduna the aggregate sum of $9,772,800 and £74,000.

President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Christopher Isiguzo, has said that the judiciary which used to be hope of the common man has failed Nigeria. Isiguzo said that instead of the judiciary, the media is now the last hope of the common man. The NUJ president who was one of the discussants at the Big Ideas Podium organized by the African Heritage Institution, Afri Heritage, an apolitical, research institution based in Enugu, said that the media is now playing a pivotal role of not only being the last hope of the common man, but vital agents of positive change in the country. Speaking on the theme: “Human rights and democracy in Nigeria: Agenda for a new era,” Isiguzo said that Nigeria must go beyond talk show and move Nigeria forward. “We must go beyond this gathering and move on to how Nigeria will move on. The media is now the last hope of the common man because the judiciary has failed. “The media must rise to the challenge of proffering a new era for Nigeria, “ he said. Re-echoing the keynote speaker, Prof. Chidi Anselem Odinkalu, who posited that politicians and wealthy Nigerians have now bought over the judiciary, Isiguzo said that unless the media and the people rise up, Nigeria like a fast moving train would be heading for destruction. The NUJ president said that he believes so much in Nigeria’s unity and progress as a nation, pointing out that Nigeria must work.

Jigawa assembly impeaches speaker, CBN currency museum acquires 1,925 artefacts in 10 years The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said the Currency Museum established by the bank in 2009 had so far acquired 1,925 artefacts. The Bank’s Deputy Governor, Mr. Folashodun Shonubi, disclosed this at the 10th anniversary of the currency museum of the bank in Abuja on Thursday. The celebration, which coincided with 2019 International Museum Day, was under the theme: ‘Museums as cultural hubs, the future of tradition’. Shonubi explained that the currency museum was established to enlighten and educate visitors on the evolution of money in the country. He said other reasons were to educate people on currency related issues, including proper handling of the naira, basic security features and detection of counterfeit banknotes. Shonubi stated that one of the major achievements of the museum was the commissioning of three temporary exhibitions titled ‘Counterfeit Money; who pays?’ Others are ‘None interest banking in Nigeria’ and ‘The Naira, Our National Pride’. He said the currency museum had carried out school enlightenment campaigns across the different geo-political zones in the country to create awareness on the cultural history. “The currency museum maintains cordial relationship with local and international museums. “As member of International Council of Museum, it behooves on the currency museum of CBN to celebrate the International Museum Day to raise awareness,” Shonubi said. The Director, Currency Operation Department, Dr Priscilla Eleje, said the museum was established by the bank to create awareness on the history of currency in Nigeria.

As Buhari jumps into the ‘true federalism’ bandwagon

Jideofor Adibe

President Buhari’s recent call for ‘true federalism’ has left many people confused and wondering what his real intentions were. At an award ceremony organised by the All Progressives’ Governors’ Forum at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on May 10 2019, the President was quoted as saying: “We remain committed to improving the welfare of the Nigerian people. Your Excellencies, it will be belabouring the point to say that true federalism is necessary at this juncture of our political and democratic evolution.” Though Buhari did not explain what he meant by ‘true federalism’ – and many proponents of the term have conflicting notions of what it means – it is generally accepted as either a call for a return to the regionalism of the immediate postindependence era or a model of restructuring that will include tinkering with the current structure of the country and its system of fiscal federalism. Buhari never wanted to be part of that conversation – even when it would have been politically expedient for him to do so in the run-up to the 2019 presidential election. In fact in the run-up to the presidential election, when it became obvious that restructuring was going to be a big campaign issue, Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) turned from dismissing its proponents as opportunists and denying that it was part of its campaign promises, to inaugurating a committee on ‘true federalism’, chaired by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who was at that time a vocal critic of the whole clamour for restructuring. The El Rufai committee submitted a report last year and made some recommendations, including devolution of power to states, resource management, internal security and merger of states, among others. However many viewed the committee and its recommendations as a ruse, something cobbled up just to broaden the APC’s political appeal in the South during the election. The truth is that restructuring, like its earlier incarnations of ‘sovereign national conference’, and ‘national conference’ has been largely a tool by the Southern faction of the political class

in their competition for power and lucre with their Northern counterparts. Despite the recommendations of the El Rufai report, and the brouhaha around restructuring at the time, Buhari refused to be identified with it. I did not think it was right of him to refuse to even discuss it but I respected his honesty in not trying to reap cheap political capital by expediently embracing it. Therefore for him to embrace the call for ‘true federalism’ after the election, when he apparently has nothing to lose by sticking to his gun of ‘hear no evil, and speak no evil’ as far as restructuring is concerned, means that he deserves the benefit of the doubt. There are a few issues that need to be cleared up urgently: first is that there is nothing like ‘true’ or ‘false’ federalism. Every federalism is unique and no two federations are alike. In fact every unitary state has federalising features and every federal state has centralising tendencies. The nature of a country’s federalism – the mix between the federalising and the centralizing featuresis informed by the peculiarity of that country’s history. The second issue is the tendency of proponents of ‘restructuring’ or ‘true federalism’ to romanticize it as the magic elixir that will solve all the country’s developmental problems. More worrying is an uncritical abstraction from some of the features of the First Republic’s regionalism that served the country and the regions well without counterbalancing these with some of the negatives from the experience such as the tendency of the regions to hold the centre hostage or suffocate the minority ethnic groups in their respective enclaves. While the country cannot be sustained on its current structure – both from geographic and fiscal restructuring perspectives – the suggestion that once we embrace restructuring or true federalism all our problems will be solved is eitheroverly optimistic or naïve. Restructuring – or returning to ‘true federalism’ (if it is ever achieved), will solve some problems and naturally create new ones. It can only be achieved through negotiations that will factor in the fears and aspirations of different parts of the country.

It is also likely to come through incremental actions rather than a quantum leap of many radical changes. Whatever may be Buhari’s true intention for joining the ‘true federalism’ bandwagon, what has come across from that move is a certain concession that contending ideas for development should be given listening ears, even if not accepted. Hitherto, he gave the impression of being inflexible and set in his ways, and regarding those with contrary ideas of development as not even deserving any attention. Without prejudice to the challenge of the outcome of the election, it is hoped that Buhari’s conversion to a proponent of ‘true federalism’ will signal a change inhis style of governance during his second term in office. While giving him the benefit of the doubt and being hopeful, it will be germane to remind the President that intentions and declarations are not enough. For instance before his inauguration on May 29 2015, he claimed that he was not going to concern himself unduly with the past but would draw the line from the time of his inauguration. Contrary to that declaration, he spent most of his first term in office blaming the Jonathan government for the ills of the country, even self-inflicted ones. Also on the day of his inauguration he famously declared that he belonged to everyone and to no one – only to come up with his statement about those who gave him 95 per cent support and those who gave him seven per cent votes. In the same vein, rather than belonging to all and no one, his government was routinely accused of favouring his section of the country in critical appointments. In essence, if the President really meant what he said about true federalism, then he will also have to muster the necessary political will to resist contrarian forces that will come in different guises and with different arguments to derail him. There was another compelling part in Buhari’s speech during the award ceremony by APC Governors on May 10 2019. He was quoted as saying: “At a time when some few privileged individuals and groups have chosen to exploit and manipulate the ethnic

and religious faults for seeking personal and partisan advantage, we need to build bridges across the different divides and instil faith in the unity and indivisibility of one Nigeria.” Though I do not believe that Buhari is as clannish as he is made out to be by his opponents (and also as clueless as he is often described to be), it will certainly be nice to see him build more bridges across the divides in the country and be more sensitive to optics during his second term in office. It will also be nice to see his government have a more sense of urgency than he displayed during his first term in office. For this, it will be nice if he can announce key members of his cabinet on the day of his inauguration and make major, non-controversial policy pronouncements. His government also needs to distance itself from controversial and polarising individuals. While I was overall quite impressed with the conciliatory tone of President Buhari’s speech on May 10 2019, I was disappointed that he was unable to make a neat break with his ‘comfort zone’ of blaming all the problems of the country on past leaders. He was quoted as saying: “Hence, against the backdrop of the challenges we have been passing through as a nation arising from past economic and political mismanagement (emphasis, mine), we must feel justifiably proud to have contributed actively in getting Nigeria back on track in the last four years in human and infrastructure development.” The President also wondered what would have happened to the country if the opposition did not come together to seize power from the PDP, which he accused of frittering away the country’s wealth. For him, the APC came to power to save the country from collapse. Apart from some untruths in such sweeping generalizations, and the ‘messiah complex’ that is embedded in such narratives, it will be nice to see a new Buhari that is not fixated on the alleged malfeasances of past governments and the suggestions that good governance has never happened in the country except during his military rule more than 25 years ago and during his second coming as a civilian President.

Lifeline for war-weary Borno people Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. — Malcolm X

Zainab Okino

In one of the tweets I posted about the progress in education and the industrial leap in Maiduguri recently, Jones Abiri, once imprisoned for two years on trumped up charges of subversion, responded thus: “this is unbelievable and is contrary to what we have been hearing about the state”. Abiri was not alone in his incredulity. Until late last year and the penultimate week, it had been over 10 years since I went to Borno State, and going as far as Southern Borno. Like everyone else, since Boko Haram took over the North-East, the thought of going to that State is not just suicidal, it sends shivers down the spine; yet here is a region, including parts of Yobe and Gombe like Damaturu, Potiskum, Gashua, Gombe, Askira Uba, Michika, I used to cruise through with my fearless and daring driver, Ahijo (he is not from Cameroon though), while reveling in the vast environment of the ‘asfar-as-you-can-look’ beautiful desert lying fallow, with the exception of herders and their animals that could be sighted from afar. These were before Boko Haram took over these same lands. Boko Haram predated the administration of Governor Kashim Shettima and its devastating consequences for years. However, but for the recent thawing and degrading of the terrorist group, who would have thought that paradise was not already lost in Borno State to the dare-devil insurgents. Besides, despite the disruption of normal daily living in Borno State and the destruction of hundreds of lives and property worth billions of naira in the many battlefronts that abound in the State, the people of Borno, led by their ebullient and affable Governor

Shettima, are ready to obliterate insurgency with optimism, hope, transformation and development of their State, and restore it to its past glory, no matter how tortuous the journey is. So, while visitors might be apprehensive while driving through Maiduguri metropolis due to the prevailing security situation reports they get every day, for the residents of this huge and vibrant city, life is becoming normal and daily activities are going on without any glitch. It should be noted that it is neither the reduction in the number of attacks nor suicide bombings that has given residents renewed confidence. There is more to it — from the hope, assurance, empathy and concrete rebuilding efforts of the government. The subtle messages of government and development of critical infrastructure is engendering trust that people can live their normal lives again, work and walk freely and feel that the government has their back. The Kashim Shettima government, the federal government’s massive deployment of troops and humanitarian interventions, the reconstruction, and rehabilitation efforts under the supervision of the now governorelect, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, are all proven antidotes to despair, which have given the people the happy faces seen in Maiduguri. Although the fringes and outskirts, not too contiguous to Maiduguri, still record some form of attacks, the certainty of a renewed Borno State is on the horizon. Western education, to be or not to be, was the focus of Boko Haram’s war on the area, even though some of their leaders are ‘educated’ in this model. Meanwhile, if the 44 mega schools and other educational facilities receiving the attention of the current administration had been in place years back, perhaps many of the insurgents would probably not have

turned out to terrorise their people and those in the environment. In other words, they became outlaws because they had no good educational foundation. Conversely, the kind of schools I saw in Borno State, many of which surpass private and public universities in Nigeria, could be the answer to reverse the ugly trend of insurgency in the region. Benjamin Franklin said, “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. So, while the lack of investment in this sector has come back to haunt us all, Shettima’s investment in education is the appropriate way to avoid the mistakes of the past, having built the best primary schools in the State, including boarding facilities that serve as home and school for orphans of the insurgency. “Each of the schools is designed with air-conditioned classroom, digital teaching aides built with K-YAN technology that is customised with local curriculum. The schools have libraries, playgrounds, dining halls”, and meals are served gratis, while uniforms are provided free of charge too. Most of these schools are named after prominent personalities in society, including former governors Modu Sheriff and late Mala Kachala; the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari; and business mogul, Aliko Dangote, for supporting Borno State and victims of the war. With his interest in education seen as the antidote to the current malaise of misguided youth drafted into the war, perhaps Shettima is at one with Malcolm X who was quoted to have said: “education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”. For Borno children attending one of these schools, their future is somehow secure with the solid foundation already established by today’s government. And for the first time in the history of the

State, under the guidance of Shettima, Borno already has a university. The bill establishing it has been passed into law and major structures are already in place waiting for academic activities to commence. Apart from the attention given to education, other social services such as health, infrastructure and industries to absorb the teeming unemployed youth are also not left out. The industrial hub caught my attention. The practical demonstration of their works, to show how chairs and desks are being produced, was such a sight to behold. They produced one for me to sit on and I can attest to its pleasant aesthetics and durability. So also is their solar panel assemblage, which has the capacity to produce 120 megawatts of electricity annually. The health sector is not left out. The equipment are modern, state-of-the-art and some of the best in Africa, such as the 1.5 MRI Tesla machine; the 4D ultrasound; the S70 echo cardiogram; the digital and internet enabled 500 MA X-ray and the ICU containing care space R860 and P450 ventilators and monitors. Going by the sophistication of the equipment, healthcare surely occupies a special place in the Shettima administration’s priorities. Equally, there is the Green House project to harness and recycle waste produce, packaged for use in a sustainable agriculture value chain. With that in place, waste will be avoided and farmers will get value for their money, but the bottom-line in all these is that employment will be generated. With an elaborate foundation in education in the State, as being established by Governor Shettima, who says Macolm X’s prognosis that education is the key to liberating the mind has not come to stay in Borno State?

Editorial Commentary

Ganduje: Understanding the pathology of revenge

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

The Sarkin Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, always wanted to be to local. Even in his heyday as governor of the Central Bank, he said he was often amused when public office holders fought for appointment as ministers, state governors, ambassadors or for any position at all on the big stage. All he ever wanted after his tour of duty at the Central Bank, he said, was to be Sarkin Kano, the emir. He got his wish. But as it has turned out almost from the onset, and progressively ever since, he has been subjected to far more siege than he might have experienced even if he had become Secretary General of the United Nations. Yet, it appears to be a largely self-imposed misery. The Sarkin Kano wanted the best of two worlds, but much to his grief, a third is being created for him – a hyperlocal ruler. A local emir with the power, glory and omnipotence of a global icon is a mirage. Local with global reach is the stuff of advert copy. In the real world, to change local, you must make haste slowly. It was not only that what he wanted all his life was not in the office he passionately desired, it was also, in a significant way, anathema to it. Two years ago, a courageous journalist with deep interest in the North, Jaafar Jaafar, published an article in which he directly accused Sanusi of financial recklessness. Jafaar claimed that about six weeks after the Sarkin Kano was enthroned the emirate’s safe was raided and, within two years, stripped of over N4billion, apart from nearly N500million spent on luxury cars. That was outside the millions of naira spent on travels and phone calls, which more than doubled the annual overheads of the palace. Just the sort of thing that the Sarkin Kano condemned in the Goodluck Jonathan government for which he earned brownie points. Why did he not see the plank in his own eye? Why did it not dawn on the Sarkin Kano who comes from the worst poverty-endemic zone in the country and who himself said that if we do nothing that Nigeria might remain the world’s poverty capital for another 30 years, that his lifestyle was inconsistent with what he was preaching? And this is not kicking a man who’s down. There are, of course, other versions of the story out there. It’s been said, in some circles for example, that Sanusi’s problem started after the 2015 election when he made a pitch to President Muhammadu Buhari for the Senate presidency for his friend and old King’s College schoolmate, Bukola Saraki. Beyond old boys’ ties, Saraki, once chair of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, was also instrumental to Sanusi’s appointment by President Umaru Yar’Adua as Central Bank governor. The Sarkin Kano felt obliged to repay a good turn. Buhari rebuffed him, but his friend, Saraki, got the Senate presidency through the backdoor, to the displeasure of the party and the Presidency. He was said to have returned again, this time, to ask for a reprieve for Saraki during his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). That second visit cemented the impression that the Sarkin Kano was a man to be kept at arm’s length. Yet, the failed episode of quiet diplomacy may not have been his biggest undoing. If at that stage, the cold war was between Sanusi and Abuja, the Sarkin Kano brought the battle home when he said of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s $1.8billion agreement with China in 2017 for a light rail project with the China Exim Bank: “At the end of the day what do you benefit from it in a state like Kano or Katsina? “Where are you going to? You are not going to an industrial estate to work. You are not going to school? You are not going to farm. You borrow money from China to invest in trains so that your citizens can ride on them and go for weddings and naming ceremonies.” To be fair, the Sarkin Kano has used his considerable clout to the benefit of Kano. Part of the fruit of his effort is Black Rhino’s partnership with Dangote for a $150million 100megawatt solar electricity project in the state, apart from other efforts to revive Kano as a trading and industrial

powerhouse. But his China quip was the inconvenient truth: Inconvenient for Ganduje who in spite of his credentials has proved to be one of the most incompetent governors in Kano’s recent history, and certainly inconvenient for Sanusi whose arrogance robbed him of the benefit of the wisdom of his own words. Sanusi handed his enemies a stick, inviting the last straw when he openly – and rightly – praised the state commissioner of police, Muhammad Wakili, for resisting Ganduje’s blatant attempt to rig the keenly contested governorship election, before the election was declared inconclusive. Ganduje is on a roll, but he would choke on his own spite. Wait and see. The governor is not after the Sarkin Kano because he has suddenly seen the light and recognised that neither a predatory emirate nor weekly carnivals of state-sponsored weddings will save Kano. He is not after the Sarkin Kano and the kingmakers because he has seen the need to restructure the centuries’ old emirate and make it more responsive. Nor is he even motivated by the ideological difference that spurred a similar tampering under former Abubakar Rimi; the “emancipation” mantra that instigated a similar exercise under Solomon Lar in Plateau; or the ethnically charged agenda driving gerrymandering in Southern Kaduna under Nasir El-Rufai. It’s venge-fest pure and simple; the sort of thing that Ganduje’s in-law and outgoing Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi, did in Ibadan, shredding the Olubadan’s domain in spite of the law and shamelessly naming streets after himself. Reliable sources said the Sarkin Kano resisted all entreaties to support Ganduje in the tight governorship race. The statement from the palace after the inconclusive poll that politics should not be a do-or-die affair, it was said, was aimed at the governor in his vulnerable moment. Politicians interested in 2023 poured petrol into the fire, telling Ganduje to mark the Sarkin Kano as his number one enemy. Now, it’s payback time and among the most deadly armies in the governor’s service are those from within the royal household, including Aminu Ado Bayero, one of the Sarkin Kano’s bitterest rivals for the throne. I’ve been intrigued by the pathology of this spite. Why is Ganduje determined to bring down the house Uthman dan Fodio built, instead of taking on the Sarkin Kano directly, if he has a case against him? Is it necessary to destroy the foundation to take the house to the next level? Why stir up the potentially deadly embers of a royal feud to quench one man’s perceived inordinate ambition? How can a governor who came to office with some of the best academic and experiential credentials make such a profound mess of his first four years in office that he’s literally twisting by a judicial thread? How can a man who came to power with considerable goodwill be at deadly odds with both the king and the kingmakers so soon afterwards? A few of the answers go back to the beginning – to Ganduje’s rise to power. He was handed power by his former boss, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who not only held him in contempt for the most part of his tenure, but once reportedly said to Ganduje’s face that he would remove him from office if he didn’t perform. Ganduje was in office but an orphan in power, a complete hostage to the Kwankwasiyya movement. Kwankwaso’s bitter exit from the ruling APC was the window Ganduje needed to team up with Abuja and reclaim his mojo, one drop of testosterone at a time. Not only has he regained sufficient confidence to shake down contractors, he is pulling down electoral and monarchical strongholds – whatever bears allegiance to the Kwankwasiyya order With the matter back in court, the game of thrones, which is just one aspect of the unfolding drama, has only changed gears. It promises to be a foreboding season.

OUR POSITION Out-of-school children and way forward

igeria with the current figure of 13.2million out-of-school children occupies first position on the table of countries with the highest number of out-of-school children in the world. More worrisome is the fact that the figure instead of decreasing in the last few years is rather increasing. This statistics which represent approximately 20 per cent of the world’s population of such children is an alarming and ticking time bomb that will spell doom for the country if urgent steps are taken by relevant authorities to address the situation. We observe that governance in Nigeria has become a circle of family business where politicians secure the future of their children to the detriment of poor Nigerians. Also, inadequacy of funding, lack of teaching tools and modern classrooms, poor numerations and the acute shortage of qualified teachers are some of the factors leading to the fall in the standard of education in Nigeria. The Multiple Indication Cluster Survey report for 2016 (MICS 2016) revealed that out of the 11.5 million of out-of-school children in Nigeria, Northern states have the highest rate with an average of 69%. The MICS 2016 data showed that out of the 11.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, 7.5.million (69%) are from the Northern part of the country. North east has the largest number of out-of-school children followed by the North West. With this number, Nigeria accounts for more than 1 in 5 number of out-of-school children globally and 45% of this number are from West Africa. Within the huge number of the out-of-school children, girls are the majority especially in Northern Nigeria. Education indicators for Northern Nigeria are however different from the Southern part of the country. Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on producing children who are well prepared to take their right place in the society but unfortunately, a large number of Nigerian children are at risk of deprivations of the basic social amenities. Most of these children are situated in the rural and hard to reach communities. Majority of them are living in conflict and communities under emergencies, and it has been difficult taking basic amenities to them. All children have the right to better life, an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potentials without discrimination, bias or favouritism which cannot be over emphasised.

We also observe that the rising number of children engaged in street trading in our major cities is becoming a worsening the menace. The problem is further exacerbated by rising poverty and general insecurity in the country. In the North, the ravaging insurgency has added to the problem. If drastic measures are not taken to correct the situation, things would only get worse. Let us learn from France, Britain, Canada and other advanced countries which built the foundation of their countries and rapid technological advancement on good and quality education. It must be pointed out also that in these countries, teachers are amongst the best paid workers. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case in Nigeria. Having failed to fund public education, the children of the poor are roaming the streets, hawking goods while the rich are educating their children in private schools at home and abroad. But to the detriment of the society, the abandoned children of the poor are being recruited to criminality by terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal gangs. The irony of the crisis is that a government, which claims that it lacks money to fund education is spending several billions of naira to fight insurgency, kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry. We believe that an uneducated population will be locked in a cycle of poverty for their entire lives. Additionally, these children could constitute the next generation of suicide bombers and militants. We are of the opinion that it is high time the government and relevant stakeholders address the problem frontally. It is sad that government’s free education for all pupils up to the first nine years of schooling has not been fully implemented. There is the need to increase the percentage of the annual national budget that goes to education. Schools should be adequately funded and the enabling environment provided for teachers and support staff to deliver functional and effective education to the children.The out-of-school children phenomenon should be squarely tackled in all its ramifications. We submit that the improvement of the classroom environment is key to lowering the growing figures of out-of-school children in the country. We also wish to state that teachers must not only be well trained, their welfare must be prioritised while the Federal Government should muster the political will to adequately fund education.

Senate confirms Emefiele, concurs with Reps on 6 new bills Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Senate on Thursday confirmed the appointment of Mr. Godwin Emefiele for a second term as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. This followed the consideration and adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Matters at plenary. Presenting the report, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Rafiu Adebayo (Kwara South) said the committee found out that Emefiele in his first term in office employed his over three decades banking experience in reforming the apex bank. The committee affirmed that the CBN governor “has a firm grip of the monetary policy terrain, understands the nation’s economic environment and gives life to ailing banks. “He has performed creditably well in his

first term; he is qualified for another term as CBN governor.” Emefiele’s screening goes into record as one of a very few public office appointees of the President whose confirmation was speedily processed. Recall that the committee screened Emefiele yesterday less than two weeks after his nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari. President Buhari had on May 8 written to the Senate requesting for the re-appointment of Emefiele for a second term of five years as CBN governor, following the expiration of his tenure. The letter from the President had read: “In view of the expiration of the first tenure of the current governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria on June 2 and pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 (1) and (2) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007, I hereby present for confirmation by the Senate Mr. Godwin Emefiele for re-appointment as

governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria for a final term of five years. “It is my hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the nominee in the usual expeditious manner.” Emefiele will start his second term in office on June 3, 2019. The Senate also at plenary on Thursday concurred with the House of Representatives and passed six new bills. The new bills introduced, discussed and passed were the Federal Capital Territory Area Councils Service Commission (Est. etc) Bill, 2019 (HB,975), Public Holiday Act (Amendment) Bill, 2019 (HBs 918 &1529) which incorporates the declaration of June 12 as public holiday and Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency (Est. etc) Bill 2019 (HB1383). Others are Projects Development Agency Enugu (PRODA) (Est. etc) Bill, 2019 (HB 1542), Good Samaritan’s Bill, 2019 (HB 171) and Data Protection Bill, 2019 (HB 02).

WHO says too many babies are born too small Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

L-R, Representative, Acting Director General, Securities and Exchange Commission Mr Isyaku Tilde, Minister of Finance, Hajiya Zainab Ahmed and Comptroller General of Customs Col Hameed Ali(rtd) during a World Press Conference on the Activities of Ministry of Finance in Abuja yesterday.

World Health Organisation has said that more than 20 million babies were born with a low birth weight (less than 2500g; 5.5 pounds) in 2015. According to a new research paper developed by experts from the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, published in The Lancet Global Health, around one in seven of all births worldwide were born with this major health challenge. The research noted that more than 80 per cent of the world’s 2.5 million newborns who die every year are of low birthweight with those who survive having a greater risk of stuntingand developmental and physical ill- health later in life, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A co-author from the Department of Nutrition at WHO, Dr. Mercedes de Onis said “low birthweight is a complex clinical entity composed of intrauterine growth restriction and preterm birth. “This is why reducing low birthweight requires an understanding of the underlying causes in a given country. For example, in Southern Asia a large proportion of low birthweight babies are born at term, but with intrauterine growth restriction which is associated with maternal undernutrition, including maternal stunting. “Conversely, preterm birth is the major contributor to low birthweight in settings with many adolescent pregnancies, high prevalence of infection, or where pregnancy is associated with high levels of fertility treatment and caesarean sections (like in USA and Brazil). Understanding and tackling these underlying causes in high-burden countries should be a priority.”

Reps pass South East Development Short News Commission Bill for second reading Niger completes orphanage home after 22 years Henry Omunu, Abuja

The House of Representatives on Thursday concurred with the Senate by passing for second reading the bill to establish the South East Development Commission (SEDC) to address the environmental and infrastructural challenges facing the South East region. The bill seeks the creation of a commission that would serve as catalyst to develop the economic potentials of the South East, receive and manage funds from the federation for the rehabilitation, reconstruction and reparation for houses and business of victims of the civil war and other environmental or developmental challenges and for related matters. The bill which scaled through during plenary presided over by Deputy Speaker, Yusuff Lasun was characterized by heated debate from proponents and opponents of the new legislation with emotions running wild during the consideration of the bill. Leading debate on the bill, the Chairman, House Committee on Agricultural Services, Rep. Tahir Monguno, who stood for House Leader, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila said the bill would go a long way in addressing the developmental challenges plaguing the South East.

He stated that although, the bill was rejected by the House two years ago, there is the need to approve a development commission for the South East to address the challenges facing the zone as was done recently for the North East. “I am urging my colleagues without any dissent to support the bill, so that this bill will see the light of the day, so that our brothers and sisters in the South East part of the country will enjoy what is extended to the North East,” Rep. Monguno said. Rep. Eucharia Anazodo (PDP/ Anambra), a supporter of the bill said the South East region needs the bill to reconstruct and rehabilitate the zone from the destructive effects of the civil war. However, the reference to the civil war by lawmakers disposed to the passage of the bill resulted in Rep. Sanni Abdul (APC/Bauchi) raising a point of order requesting that speakers should stick to the subject matter of the bill. He was ruled out of order by the deputy speaker, who pointed out that the bill entails addressing environment problems and under -development of the South East zone. According to House members like Rep. Nkiruika Onyejeocha and Rep. Linda Ukeje, there is no point in members being sentimental about the bill, instead the House should look at what is capable of uniting the country.

Their position was supported by Rep. Umar Badeh (PDP/Kaduna) and Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin (APC/Kano), who both explained how the civil war negatively impacted the South East zone in terms of development. “There is a chunk of under development in the South East. The passage of this bill will help unite this country. Let’s show them that they are part of this country. We should rise above ethnic sentiments and pass this bill,” Rep. Jibrin said. But, opposition the bill, Rep. Shekarau said there was no justification for the bill in the first instance and urged the House to reject it for the second time, saying that the National Assembly cannot keep creating commissions to cater for environmental devastation in every part of the country. “If we continue to do this very soon, we will have North West Development Commission and South West Development Commission because as we are going, every region of this country will be demanding for a commission of their own,” he added. When eventually, the deputy speaker called for a voice vote for the second reading of the bill, it was unanimously voted for to the joy of lawmakers from the South East. The bill was therefore, referred to the Committee of the Whole for further action.

Direct allocations to LGs will promote probity - Ex-commissioner

A former Commissioner for Works and Transportation in Ebonyi state, Dr. Paul Okorie has said that the recent guidelines by the federal government authorizing direct allocations to local government areas would promote probity. Okorie, who stated this in an interview on Thursday in Abakaliki, said that the guidelines if implemented would also restore the glory of local government system and ensure it served the purpose for which it was created. He added that the guidelines would check and control the excesses of some state governors who pilfer the allocations of local councils, adding that the order would not only ensure financial autonomy to the councils, but also ensure that local governments were accountable and financially disciplined in their spending. The former commissioner commended President Muhammadu Buhari for taking the bold step and urged the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) to ensure proper and effective implementation of the guidelines. “By this order, the president has once more demonstrated that he is totally committed to repositioning and strengthening the local government system to enable it perform its statutory functions. “This is a wonderful development and it will help alleviate poverty in rural communities by fast – tracking socio-economic lives to pick up at the grassroots. I commend Mr. President and urge that the guidelines be sustained while sanctions are meted out to any defaulting state government.

British firm offers FG olive branch over contract dispute Benjamin Omoike, Lagos Nigeria stands to lose up to $9 billion worth of its foreign assets following an enforcement application to US and UK courts by Process and Industrial Development (P &ID), a British firm tied up in a legal dispute with the federal government. The case arose out of the failure of a contract awarded the company in 2010 to process wet gas to power Nigeria’s generating plants. In January 2017, a London tribunal organized under the rules of the Nigeria Arbitration and Conciliation Act, ordered Nigeria to pay P&ID $6 billion in damages, plus $2.3 million in uncollected interest. That figure has since been attracting interest at the rate of $1.2 million per day and currently stands at over $9 billion. The next hearing of the case will come up in a London court on May 21. Founder, Process and Industrial Development (P &ID), Mr. Brendan Cahill, said that the company looks forward to the UK and US courts granting enforcement rights that will allow P&ID to collect what is rightfully hers. “If history is any guide – just look at how creditors seized Argentina’s naval frigate while it docked in Ghana. Efforts by Nigeria to evade this judgment will inevitably fall flat. The ball is in Nigeria’s court, if the government is prepared to find a good-faith solution,” he said.

FG calls for adherence to diving regulations

NIMASA donates relief materials to Delta 2018 flood victims

Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The federal government has called for strict adherence to the diving at work regulations and the adoption of established good practices aimed at eliminating hazards associated with diving operations. Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige made the call in Abuja at the national stakeholders’ awareness and sensitization on the diving at work regulations workshop organized for stakeholders in the diving sector. Ngige, who was represented by the Director, Human Resources Management in the ministry, Ajibola Ibrahim said that despite the high risk nature of diving operations, Nigeria had hitherto lacked a diving regulation. He however, noted that the diving industry in the country would henceforth, be fully regulated with the coming on stream of the regulations. Describing diving as a highly hazardous

activity conducted in a non-respirable environment with the divers risking drowning, injuries, diseases and death, Ngige noted that “the development and adoption of the will provide the much needed safety and health guidance to the diving industry. “The diving regulations will provide the legal framework to regulate all diving operations carried out offshore, inshore and onshore within the territorial waters of Nigeria.” He further stated that the regulations would guide the implementation of intervention and inspection programmes to reduce occupational hazards which ultimately, would lead to higher productivity in that industry. The minister also disclosed that “diving in Nigeria also constitutes a critical component of a sound promotional framework for occupational safety and health, and provides a strategic approach to the development of a national preventive safety and health culture as is currently being sought globally.”

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo, said that the diving regulations would provide the needed occupational safety and h+ealth guidance to the diving industry with regard to policy and procedures for the elimination of hazards associated with diving operations. Represented by the Director, Occupational Safety and Health, Dr. Ifeoma Anyanwutaku, the permanent secretary said the coming on board of the Regulations in Nigeria would significantly reduce the number of accidents and their consequences, as well as increase operations efficiency, enterprise performance, and productivity in the sector. He added that the regulation would improve the professional skills and technical know-how of Nigerians in the diving sector and would also provide a guide for stakeholders’ compliance with relevant provisions of the Factories Act, for a safer sub-sea work environment and processes.

The Global Head of Communications and Events; at the Afreximbank, Mr Obi Emekekwue on Thursday, stated that Prof Oramah disclosed this when he led an Afreximbank delegation on a visit to President Azali Assoumani of Comoros. He said that that the Bank also saw opportunities, in the longer term, to provide up to $300 million in additional financing to the country. Prod Oramah told President Assoumani that there were ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Finance of Comoros and with the Central Bank, which would make it possible for Afreximbank to provide up to $20 million to support trade and related infrastructure, including fuel and other strategic imports. “We are also discussing with a local group that is trying to set up an airline in order to provide it with the financing it needs to enable it to acquire aircraft to operate local routes,” he added. Oramah said that Afreximbank’s intention was to ensure that all its member countries saw and enjoyed the benefits of their membership. He noted that the Bank had ensured that it was always available to provide support whenever countries encountered problems in financing trade. Responding, President Assoumani welcomed the opportunity offered by Afreximbank’s decision to support the economy of Comoros and said that the government would work with the Bank to ensure successful implementation of any transactions. He added that Comoros required support in exploiting some of its resources and in adding value to its products, particularly in the areas of agriculture, fisheries and inter-island transportation. The Daily Times recalls that Comoros joined Afreximbank as its 46th participating state on 12 September 2017 when Mr Chayhane, the Minister of Finance and Budget, signed the instrument of accession to the Agreement Establishing the Bank.

CBN to revive textile firms, as smuggling of textiles gulp over $2.2bn Temitope Adebayo In a renewed determination to revive the textile industries, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Thursday set machinery in motion to revive at least 20 textile companies by December this year, even as smuggling of textile goods alone has been estimated to cost the nation over $2.2billion. At the inauguration of Textile Revival Implementation Committee, CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele said the cotton and textile (CTG) sector has suffered many difficulties within the last 20 years. Some of the challenges he cited include low cotton production, poor power and transport infrastructure,

obsolete production lines, smuggling and counterfeiting, inadequate local patronage, high cost of production, and multiple taxations among others. According to him, smuggling of textile goods alone has been estimated to cost the nation over $2.2bn. “It’s no secret that the past 20 years have been very difficult for the cotton, textiles and garment sector. “Today, most of the textile factories have all stopped operations and the workforce in Nigeria’s textile industry stands at less than 20,000 people. “In addition, a large proportion of our clothing materials are imported from China and countries in Europe. “Our consultations with key stakeholders in the CTG sub-sector necessitated the constitution of this Textile Revival Implementation Committee as

of captive power to CTG firms in the interested states by 2021, and facilitate the effective pricing and delivery of gas, black oil and diesel to CTG firms in Lagos and other interested states. This is expected to enhance their power generation and consumption. Emefiele disclosed that CBN has taken the initial step with the flag-off of input distribution to 100,000 cotton farmers, as well as cultivating 100,000 hectares in 23 states of the federation. He expressed optimism that the bank would resuscitate the cotton belts nationwide and grow the value chain until the last mile of textile production. “We will need to set timelines for these deliverables and charge the technical committees to develop road maps that must be achieved within the set timelines,” he added.

Seplat assures investors of commitment to profitability, attractive yield Motolani Oseni The Chairman, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, Dr A.B.C Orijako has said the company is committed to profitability and attractive yield for shareholders who invested on its shares on The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Addressing shareholders at the company’s Annual General Meeting in Lagos on Thursday, the Chairman said last year operational and financial performance of the company reflected the significantly higher year-on-year levels of production uptime at its core oil producing assets combined with a firmer, albeit still volatile, oil price and increased contribution from the company’s gas business. He added: “As you are aware, our results from the previous two years were characterized by the extended period of force majeure at the Forcados terminal from February 2016 to June 2017.

“As we enter 2019, our reliable production the base, low unit cost of production and discretion over capital commitments will allow the business to remain highly free cash flow generative and profitable. In the absence of any major interruption or force majeure event, this will enable Seplat to honour its dividend policy and provide an attractive yield to our shareholders in addition to the potential for capital appreciation.” According to Orjiako, the company will selectively invest in low-risk oil production drilling opportunities within the existing portfolio and the continued expansion of the gas business, with 2019 set to be the year that activity intensifies at the large scale Assa-North and Ohaji-South (ANOH) gas and condensate development. He added, “Seplat remains an ambitious growth-orientated company that is in a position of strength to capture inorganic opportunities where we can leverage our competitive advantages to seeking out carefully considered, price disciplined and value accretive

a pre-requisite to fixing the identified challenges in the CTG sub-sector. “A consolidated approach of this magnitude will afford us economies of scale, synergy in resource utilization and provide a holistic solution to harnessing the potentials of the CTG sub-sector in Nigeria.” The committee is expected to resuscitate at least 50 textile firms by the end of 2023; collaborate with stakeholders to identify, name and shame textile smugglers in Nigeria as well as develop a framework for the eradication of smuggling and dumping of textile products into Nigeria. It will also facilitate the production of 200,000 hectares of cotton fields by 2020 and maintain an annual increase of 100,000 hectares over the next three years. In addition, the committee will work to deliver a minimum of 50 megawatts

Finally, I would like to thank all our employees and wider stakeholders for their efforts and continuing support and I look forward to updating all of our stakeholders on our progress throughout the year ahead.” Also speaking at the AGM, the Chief Executive Officer of Seplat Petroleum, Mr. Austin Avuru, said, “Seplat has delivered an excellent operational and financial performance resulting in robust profitability and cash flow generation providing us with an extremely solid foundation for growth in the coming years. At our core assets in the West, OMLs 4, 38 and 41, the extension of the license to 2038 means that we can confidently plan and invest long into the future to realise the full potential of those blocks. “As Seplat continues to enhance production and revenue diversification with new wells scheduled at OML 53 in the East, the board took the Final Investment Decision to invest in the large scale ANOH gas and condensate development which will form the next phase of transformational growth for our gas business. Disciplined capital allocation continues to

remain at the core of our activities evidenced by our continual deleveraging of our debt levels to the current balance of US$350m”, he added. He also announced that Seplat board has taken the Final Investment Decision for the ANOH and Amukpe to Escravos alternate export pipeline which will be completed and fully commissioned in Q2 2019. These projects are part of the future expansion initiatives of Seplat in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. A review of Seplat 2018 results indicates positive performance across all financial indices, confirming the Company’s position as one of the well managed indigenous oil firms in Nigeria. The gross profit for the period grew by 84 per cent to N120billion from N65billion reported in December 2017. Operating profit stood at N95billion, representing a growth of 177per cent over N34billion recorded in the corresponding period of December 2017.

SEC warns Nigerians over Loom Ponzi scheme Motolani Oseni The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has raised the alarm over the activities of some online fraudsters, who are currently running an online investment scheme tagged ‘Loom Money Nigeria’. Loom Money Nigeria is taking over social media by targeting young people to participate in a pyramid scheme. The warning was given by Acting Director General of the SEC, Ms Mary Uduk during a press conference by the Minister of Finance in Abuja on Thursday. Uduk who was represented by Acting Executive Commissioner, Operations of the SEC, Mr. Isyaku Tilde said the fraudsters, carry out their illegitimate business activities via social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp luring young Nigerians to invest as low as N1000 and N13,000 and get as much

as 8 times the value of the investment in 48 hours. Uduk said the venture had no tangible business model, describing it as a Ponzi scheme, where returns would be paid from other people’s invested funds. “We are aware of the activities of an online investment scheme tagged ‘Loom Money Nigeria’. The platform has embarked on an aggressive online media campaign on Facebook and WhatsApp to lure the investing public to participate by joining various Loom WhatsApp groups to invest as N1000 and N13,000 and get as much as 8 times the value of the investment in 48 hours. “Unlike MMM that had a website and the promoter known, the people promoting Loom are not yet known and this pyramid scheme operates through closed groups mainly on Facebook and Whatsapp. If it were a local Ponzi scheme with known offices, it would be very easy for the Commission to seal their offices and freeze their accounts. “We therefore wish to notify the

investing public that the operation of this investment scheme has no tangible business model hence it’s a Ponzi scheme, where returns are paid from other people’s invested sum. Also, its operation is not registered by the Commission. ” Uduk, therefore, advised the general public to distance themselves from the scheme, adding, “Please note that anyone that subscribes to this illegal activity does so at their own risk.” She also assured that an interagency committee, Financial Services RegulationCoordinating Committee (FSRCC) is working on the issue, while also collaborating with security agencies to shut them down. A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. The Loom Pyramid Scheme is not new to the world. Last month, Daily Mail UK reported that the scheme has resurfaced online all over the world,

with different names such as ‘loom circle’, ‘fractal mandala’ and ‘blessing loom’. In Nigeria, its central name is Loom Money Nigeria with individuals creating their own WhatsApp groups such as Jack Loom, Catherine Loom among others. On regularization of Multiple Accounts by investors, Uduk said the process is still on-going and urged affected investors to do so before the deadline. “The Capital Market Community has opened a forbearance window to allow investors with multiple subscriptions/ applications to public offers to regularize these subscriptions under a single account name. Investors who provide sufficient proof of ownership will be permitted to regularize their accounts into one. There is absolutely no punishment attached to it, the SEC is not punishing anybody, we just want such individuals to come and regularize that transaction between now and 31st December 2019”,she stated.

The EU’s powerful antitrust authority on Thursday slammed five major banks including Barclays and Citigroup, more than a billion euros for collusion in the massive foreign exchange currency market. The European Commission sanctioned Barclays, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Citigroup, JPMorgan and Japan’s MUFG Bank a total of 1.07 billion euros ($1.2 billion) after finding that traders colluded to fix exchange rates using electronic chat rooms, a statement said. The commission said Swiss giant UBS received no fine as it revealed the collision to the authorities. EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, said, “These cartel decisions send a clear message that the commission will not tolerate collusive behaviour in any sector of the financial markets. “The behaviour of these banks undermined the integrity of the sector at the expense of the European economy and consumers”, she added. The decision involves two cases of forex manipulation, with the first known as “Essex Express ‘n the Jimmy” because of all the traders (except Jimmy) lived in the county to the east of London, the commission said. The other one was called “Threeway banana split”, though the EU’s executive arm did not explain why. “Some of the traders created the chat rooms and then invited one another to join, based on their trading activities and personal affinities, creating closed circles of trust,” the commission explained. The collision took place between 2007 and 2013, roughly the years of the financial crisis and has been sanctioned by other authorities, including the US. Except for Japan’s MUFG, the banks cooperated with the commission and in return received lighter fines than the EU’s maximum amount. “We are pleased to resolve this historical matter, which relates to the conduct of one former employee. We have since made significant control improvements,” said a spokesperson for JPMorgan. Several of the banks, including Barclays, had already provisioned for the fines in earlier filings. While large, the cartel fines are lower than a 1.3 billion euro penalty for banks for rigging Euribor rates and below a record 3.8 billion euro penalty for collusion between truckmakers, according to Bloomberg. They exchanged sensitive information and trading plans in two cartel groups - one running from December 2008 to January 2013, and another from December 2009 to July 2012, the commission said. Aljazeera reported that RBS, which faces paying 249 million euros ($279m), told the London Stock Exchange it was responding to inquiries from other regulatory bodies regarding “past failings in foreign exchange trading”. Citigroup will have to pay 310.8 million euros ($348m), while JP Morgan faces a bill for 228.8 million euros ($256m). Barclays will pay 210.3 million euros ($236m) and MUFG must pay nearly 70 million euros ($78m). Their penalties were reduced after agreeing not to challenge the ruling. The five banks facing the billioneuro fine had combined 2018-2019 revenues of 215 billion euros ($241bn).

Pro-Buhari group berates PDP over claims on June 12, says good governance alien to party’s culture Stories by Patrick Okohue The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of embarking on a fruitless ego trip with its criticism of the Federal Government’s decision to schedule some inauguration Day ceremonies for June 12, 2019. The group described the opposition party as mischievous for suggesting that President Muhammadu Buhari would be inaugurated for a second term in office on the day, as opposed to May 29, which the Constitution recognises as the inauguration day for a new political dispensation. This is even as the group accused the PDP of lacking capacity to appreciate good governance because it spent its 16 years in government mismanaging the country and entrenching wrongdoing as the norm BMO said in a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke that it was amused that a party that out rightly refused to recognise the sanctity of June 12 for 16 years now wants to be seen as the defender of Nigeria’s democratic culture. “Here is a party that is today speaking on what it described as sanctity of a day that it has the temerity to term as ‘our Democracy Day’. Yet, it was in total control of the Executive and Legislature at the centre for all of 16 years during which it had three different Presidents, but failed to do anything to accord official recognition to a day that it now agrees is important in the annals of Nigeria’s political history. “We are indeed shocked that the party whose members were the biggest beneficiaries of June 12 sacrifice now remembers that Moshood Abiola ‘stood and died for democracy’, but did everything possible to stop him from being immortalised while it rode roughshod over Nigeria and Nigerians. “It is therefore nothing more than an ego trip to nowhere for PDP to criticise the Federal Government’s decision to move some second term inauguration ceremonies to June 12 and yet seek to claim the day as ‘our democracy day’. “But we need to let opposition elements know that whether inauguration ceremonies are held on May 29 or June 12, the President did enough in his first term to earn the trust of the majority of Nigerians that cast their ballots on February 23,” the group said.

Buhari BMO also accused the PDP leaders of attempting to revise recent history with their claim of a stolen mandate which it insisted only existed in the imagination of their members and a group of political elite that is used to living off government patronage. “We wonder how long PDP would continue to live in a fool’s paradise with its constant refrain of a stolen mandate in an election that all its key campaign spearheads lost in their polling units, just like their presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar was unable to muster enough votes in his immediate constituency in Adamawa State to defeat President Buhari. “Many of their allies across the country, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the factional Afenifere leadership were also roundly rejected in their polling units, wards and states by the mass of Nigerians who were clearly averse to a return of the rapacious PDP years. “We at BMO again want to remind the party and its leaders that the February 23 Presidential election conferred 100% legitimacy on the President for a second term with a margin that is more than the combined population of Swaziland, Equatorial Guinea and Mauritius. “We are convinced that the Presidential election Petition Tribunal would consign their claim, which is predicated on fake INEC server result, to the dustbin of history where it rightly belongs.” The group also expressed hope that the next set of National Assembly members would take the necessary legislative action to establish June 12 as the National

Democracy Day. The group further accused the PDP of running the affairs of the country, up-ended normalcy and adopting irregularities as the norm, during the 16 years of its reign, hence its inability to understand good governance under the President Buhari administration. “We are not surprised to read the statement from the PDP throwing tantrums and accusing the All Progressives Congress (APC) of everything possible and for anything happening in the country; the statements smack of the party’s inability to see and appreciate good governance and strong institutions. “For instance, the investigation by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) of Senate President, Bukola Saraki is a simple case of an institution doing its work. If Saraki, a member of the PDP, has a case to answer, let him do so. An innocent man with no skeletons in his cupboard has nothing to fear. “Nigeria has institutions with the mandate of investigating fraud and financial malfeasances. If they find a person to be a suspect in the breach of any of our laws in this regard, they would act accordingly, investigate and prosecute where necessary. “It is unfortunate that the PDP is not used to seeing institutions working and is consequently confused by the sight of them working without being teleguided. “President Buhari respects institutions and does not interfere with their work. He believes that institutions must be allowed to do their work and not be meddled with,” the group said.

Lagos Assembly moves to remove Concessionaire from waste management The Lagos State House of Assembly has commenced moves to remove concessionaire from the management of waste in the state and strengthen the State’s Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) in the discharge of their duties. This was evident in a ‘Bill to amend the Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017’ for which the House Committee on Environment held a Stakeholders Forum yesterday. According to the bill, Section 41(1) of the Principal Law is to be amended by deleting the “Concessionaire” and its definition thereby stopping them from collecting waste in the state. In its bid to give more power and functions to the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, the Assembly, in the bill proposed to amend Section 56 of the Principal Law to enable LAWMA to collect and dispose all solid domestic, commercial and any form of solid waste including but not limited to medical waste, garden waste and other forms of waste generated in the state. Speaking on behalf of the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt (Hon). Mudashiru Obasa, the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Wasiu Eshinlokun-Sanni, explained that the bill is to

address the challenges facing the management of waste and cleanliness of the environment in the state. Obasa stated that the forum was to give relevant stakeholders opportunity to make input into the bill, adding further that all contributions would be considered. He stressed that it is only few sections of the principal law that the amendment would affect, stating that it would accommodate water regulations and waste disposal management in the state. He stated that the amendment of the bill is to improve the environment and ensure that the operators experience seamless operation in the management of waste. While explaining the bill, the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sanai Agunbiade, stated that the Assembly through the stakeholders forum is performing legislative surgery on existing laws, stating that the input of the stakeholders is important to the amendment. Agunbiade explained that there is need to make the environment conducive for investors, saying that an unclean environment would affect investors who may want to invest in the state. He pointed out that the extant law which covers

environment management has 526 Sections, adding that it is only 48 sections that are subjected to amendment. In his welcome address, the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Dayo Saka-Fafunmi said that extant law passed in 2017 could not meet expectations as discovered during impact assessment analysis. “We cannot have a law that is not serving the interest of Lagos and that is why we propose several amendments. The amendment essentially bothers more on LAWMA law. “As at when the law was made, we were looking at having a concessionaire-an operator that will take over the waste management of Lagos” Fafunmi added “No sooner that the law was passed that we realised that it was not something that could stand the test of time here. We have decided to revert to our ways of doing it.” In his contribution, Mr Ola Oresanya, the Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, said: “If the law is wrong everything will be wrong. “I want to thank the Chairman of the committee for this painstaking effort to correct the wrong. The intendment of this amendment is genuine and germane” he said.

US President Donald Trump has proposed to shift to a ‘merit-based’ immigration system similar to one used in Canada

Trump proposes new immigration plan favouring skills over family US President Donald Trump has said he wants to overhaul the immigration system to favour young, educated, English-speaking applicants with job offers, instead of people with family ties to Americans. Setting aside some of his

hardline rhetoric on irregular immigration, Trump said on Thursday that he wants to recruit “top talent” to the nation as he unveiled his latest efforts to reform residency laws after years of setbacks and stalemates. Trump’s plan, roundly

panned by Democrats and immigration advocacy groups, is aimed at trying to unite Republicans some who want to boost immigration, others who want to restrict it - before the November 2020 presidential and congressional elections.

“We discriminate against genius,” Trump said of current policies, which he contended excessively favour family-based immigration. “We won’t any more, once we get this passed,” Trump said in a Rose Garden address to Republican legislators and cabinet members. Currently, about two-thirds of the 1.1 million people allowed to emigrate to the United States each year are given green cards granting permanent residency because of family ties. Trump proposed to keep the overall numbers steady, but shift to a “merit-based” system similar to the one used in Canada - a plan he said would result in 57 percent of green cards to be based on employment and skills. Before the speech, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said “merit” was a “condescending” term. “Are they saying family is without merit? Are they saying most of the people who have ever come to the United States in the history of our country, are without merit, because they don’t have an engineering degree?” Pelosi told reporters. The plan was developed

by Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, and Stephen Miller, an adviser known for his hard line on immigration issues. Democratic support would be needed to advance any legislation through the Republican-led Senate let alone the Democraticcontrolled House. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer criticised the White House for failing to consult Democratic legislators, and said that showed the White House was not serious. Trump’s plan included proposals to beef up security at the border to try to prevent people from crossing illegally and legal changes aimed at curbing a flood of Central American migrants seeking asylum. But it left aside the thorny issue of how to deal with the roughly 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally - many for years - and protections for “Dreamer” children brought to the country illegally, a top priority for Democratic legislators.

European Leagues critical of proposed Champions League reforms

The European Leagues has said plans to revamp the Champions League should be started from scratch as the current proposals only benefit “a few rich and dominant clubs”. The Premier League has come out against plans to expand the group stage of the tournament, with the French Football League and German Football League this week following suit. The European Clubs Association, which is led by Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, is reportedly keen to introduce changes that would see teams play as many as 14 group matches. But the European Leagues is

strongly against such proposals. “Following last week’s Club Advisory Meeting in Madrid with over 240 European clubs and the meeting between the UEFA Executive Committee and the European Leagues board of directors in Nyon, the European Leagues retain the strong opinion that the presented proposal for reforming the European Club Competitions benefits just a few rich and dominant clubs but damages the leagues and the great majority of clubs playing in the domestic competitions,” a statement from the body said. “The European Leagues are working on changes which contribute to the long-

term sporting and financial sustainability of both European and domestic club competitions. “In this, the Leagues believe that it is imperative for UEFA to start building the changes in the UEFA club competitions project from scratch. In this respect, UEFA must come to an agreement with the European Leagues and the other stakeholders to safeguard the interests of all professional football clubs in Europe. “The European Leagues together with the National Associations are responsible for the development of professional football in their own countries and must work together in this respect.”

NFF: Christian Chukwu arrives London for medical treatment The Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday in Abuja said Christian Chukwu, a former captain of the old Green Eagles, has arrived in the UK for medical treatment. Ademola Olajire, NFF’s Director of Communications, said in a statement that the former Super Eagles Chief Coach arrived in London in company of his wife, Lilian Nkeiruka. He said Chukwu travelled with his wife aboard a Virgin Atlantic Airline flight from Lagos. The NFF spokesman said Amaju Pinnick, the Federation’s President, has arranged for an appointment for the Nigerian legend with a renowned cardiologist in London. “I am very happy with the efforts of the NFF, through Amaju Pinnick. “He (Pinnick) has proved that he is truly (a) father of Nigerian Football. “I am also grateful for the support and prayers of other Nigerians,’’ he quoted Chukwu as saying on arrival. Olajire further quoted the man who captained Nigeria to their first Africa Cup of Nations win in 1980 as saying he was

hopeful about his treatment. “It is waist pain and stomach upset that I keep feeling. The doctors in Nigeria have treated the stomach upset but it remains the waist pain. “I am confident that I will come back to Nigeria having regained sound health.” Olajire said Chukwu and wife were seen off at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos by Aisha Falode, a member of NFF Executive Committee, and some NFF protocol officials. He recalled that when news of the former defender’s health challenges broke, the NFF had moved immediately to ascertain the nature of his illness and to provide support. “Then, Pinnick had delegated Chidi Ofo-Okenwa, the Chairman of Enugu State Football Association and member of NFF Executive Committee, to pay Chukwu a visit. “The Federation also sought financial support from philanthropic individuals, with Femi Otedola, the Chairman of Forte Oil, donating $50,000.’’ The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)

reports that Chukwu captained the Green Eagles to Nigeria’s first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title in 1980. He had received the then brand new Unity Cup from then President Shehu Shagari. The man nicknamed “Chairman’’ also captained Rangers International Football Club to the Africa Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977. Chukwu also served as assistant coach of the first team to win a FIFA World Cup trophy for Nigeria. That was the Golden Eaglets team which triumphed at the FIFA Under-16 World Cup in China in 1985. He was also assistant coach of the Super Eagles team which qualified for Nigeria’s first FIFA World Cup finals, appearing at the 1994 finals in the U.S. The team had also earlier won the Africa Cup of Nations title same year and reached the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup. Between 2002 and 2005, Chukwu was head coach of the Super Eagles, leading the team to win bronze medal at the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia.

VOL. 3

NO. 945

We are still being ‘ruled’ by incompetent leaders The factors that made Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to burst out angrily 45 years ago are still with us today. Nigeria is still being ‘ruled’ by grossly incompetent leaders; at all levels, from the presidency through to state governors, local government chairmen and councilors. It is not only in government that we are plagued by mediocre leaders. It is the same with traditional institutions, the churches and mosques. Everywhere in Nigeria, incompetent people are occupying leadership positions. While clueless men and women occupy these positions of leadership, they block the flow of power and inspiration to those who are prepared to take up those seats and deliver quality service to the nation. It was on that backdrop that Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, asked that those who lack the capacity to govern or to provide quality leadership to the people, should quit. According to a report by Daily Times of Nigeria on May 17, 1964, Zik, as the then president was fondly called, had challenged politicians who cannot plan completely to quit and allow those who can, to take over such positions. Daily Times also quoted Zik to have asked leaders to behave in a way that can help to insulate citizens of the country from all doubts about their country so that they can have faith for tomorrow as well as hope for the future. “How can these lofty aims be realised within the context of the Nigerian situation,” he was quoted to have asked. If Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe raised fear about realizing Nigeria’s lofty aims and national objectives as far back as 1964 because of incompetence and cluelessness of the nation’s leaders then, you can imagine the situation we have today. Is there any country in the world with the level of insecurity that we face in Nigeria currently? Is there anywhere in the world where so called bandits can walk into communities, kill dozens of people, abduct hundreds and just go their way, to come back the next day to commit same atrocities without reprimand? In today’s Nigeria, the

killing of hundreds of citizens in one night no longer attracts newspaper headlines because we have become used to living every day at a time, not confident of waking up the following day, because of the unexplainable level violence in insecurity. And we have a minister of defence; and that of interior; and inspector general of Police; and chief of army staff; and director of state security service; and many others. These are examples of incompetent leaders. As I hit the keyboard and type this piece, Nigeria’s public power sector is in a mess. The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN said the nation’s power generation capacity dropped from 3,959 megawatts on January 4 to 2,662 megawatts on January 22. Just see our country. Nigeria’s power generation capacity dropped from 3,959 megawatts to 2,662 megawatts. In 2019, Nigeria, a country with a population of about 200 million people with billions of oil rent every year, is talking about 3,000, 4,000 or even 10,000 megawatts of electricity; and the minister in charge of power is Babatunde Fashola. This same Fashola had boasted while he was in opposition that the nation’s power challenges can be fixed in six months. And here he is, nearly four years after, ministering a complete disaster. There is another minister they call Ogbonaya Onu who boasted that Nigeria will be producing pencils locally in a few months after he was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari. A minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in charge of science and technology bragging about producing pencils, yes, pencils; and then, a few days to the end of his appointment, he could not fulfill the promise to produce pencil. What a shame? They are many, in the governments before this but especially this time. Men and women who have no business occupying leadership position, but just because they belong to a party that was rigged into power in 2015, they are minister that produce no results; and the country degenerate further into anarchy.
