More reactions trail Obasanjo’s letter to Buhari

Continued from page 1

that all hands must be on deck to prevent it from collapsing.

Obasanjo called for urgent actions to tackle Nigeria’s challenges and offered pieces of advice that could help combat the challenges.

Reacting to the letter, the pan-Yoruba socio-political political group, Afenifere, while expressing sadness over the development attributed it to “failure of leadership.’’

Speaking through its spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin, in Lagos, the group commended the former president for speaking the minds of Nigerians in a very frank, bold and unmistaken manner about the crisis in the country.

“Well, Obasanjo has spoken in a very frank, bold and unmistaken manner about the crisis Nigeria is growing through and the failure of leadership as well as the inherent state of insecurity in the country where life is so short, nasty and brutish,” Afenifere said.

On its part, the pan Igbo group, Ohaneze Ndigbo, said that the only way to address the security crisis in the country is to endorse the national dialogue as advocated by Obasanjo.

Emeka Attama, the media aide to its president-general, who spoke on behalf of the group, stressed the need for

urgent action, adding that the group has completely endorsed the position of the ex president.

He added that “delay could spell doom for the country.”

Insecurity is getting worse under Buhari –Joanthan Similarly, former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that insecurity under the leadership of President Buhari is getting worse.

Jonathan, who spoke during his condolence visit to Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, in Akure, Ondo State capital, said the issue of security must be approached from a different dimension. ‘’We cannot continue the old way because it is getting out of hand. We hope the federal and state governments will do something about it.

“Every generation face problems and this generation must find ways to solve these problems. Every government faces problem. The first commercial kidnapping, because it involved money, happened in 2006 when I was the governor of Bayelsa state.

From that time, it moved to terrorism in the north. Now, it is a major problem in the country.

“The Federal Government in conjunction with state government must design a different approach to this issue. I was there as president and security challenge was there but now, it is getting worse every day and we can’t

continue to use the same old method.

“I believe the federal government should set up a special unit like we set up EFCC and ICPC to handle corruption cases, so that they will know that their responsibility is to manage this kidnapping, killings and the rest. We can’t continue like this, it is not possible,’’ Jonathan added.

There were fundamental issues raised in the letter - CSOs Also, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), while throwing its weight behind former president, said that there were fundamental issues raised in the letter that needed to be addressed urgently by the Federal Government.

The executive director of CISLAC, Alhaji Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, insisted that the presidency must look inward and address the issues raised

by Obasanjo.

“All that Obasanjo said must be look at critically with the sole aim of addressing them.

They are begging for serious attention. As a government, they should work towards addressing the problems and not the personality that point them out’’, he added.

In the same vein, the Centre for Democracy Development (CDD) said that the letter was the best thing that happened at a time the country was getting

Social dialogue veritable tool for addressing inequality, fair wage distribution – FG Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja

The Federal Government has identified social dialogue and collective bargaining as veritable tools for addressing inequality, minimising incidence of working poor and ensuring fair wage distribution as well as tackle informality in the ECOWAS sub-region.

Addressing the meeting of Labour Experts and General Assembly of the ECOWAS Social Dialogue Forum held in Abuja, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo, described social dialogue as one of the core pillars of the Decent Work Agenda which can play important role in linking employment with trade and economic policies.

Alo noted that addressing the issue of minimum living wage for the “working poor” constitutes one of the most important priorities to fighting inequalities.

While noting that the forum which had as its theme ‘Strengthening Social Dialogue for the Promotion

of Decent Work in ECOWAS Region’ is noteworthy, coming at a time when the prerequisites for social dialogue, notably freedom of association and collective bargaining are being undermined especially by some employers in the sub-region, he appealed to the tripartite partners and other stakeholders to always opt for dialogue and consultation in all situations so that together, solutions may be found for problems faced by workers and employers alike.

He said: “The erosion of workers’ bargaining rights over the last decades explains to a large extent the current divergence between productivity growth and wage increases for a majority of workers.

“The divergence between productivity increases and wage increases is indeed at the heart of inequalities and can only be addressed through social dialogue.

“The Nigerian government has created an unfettered space for social dialogue. Workers vulnerability arising from the new economic

environment takes many forms, with joblessness being the most severe for many people.

“Precognitive of this reality and the accompanying concerns by trade unions of potential industrial disharmony, the Nigerian government has consistently worked out mechanism for fostering greater reconciliation and mediation.”

He noted that this has been achieved through establishing formal government facilitated spaces for dialogue and mediation in labour matters, adding that “playing a facilitating roles and providing unfettered space for reconciliation has enabled government to bring disputing parties and pre-emptively intervene in resolving their disputes”.

Alo therefore, appealed to member states of ECOWAS to make the four pillars of the decent work agenda (social dialogue, social protection, rights at work and employment) indispensable building blocks of sustainable development.

Insecurity: Secure Nigeria’s highways, Senate tells Service chiefs Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Miffed by the increasing rate of insecurity in the country heightened by the gruesome murder of Mrs. Funke Olakunri over the weekend, the Senate has tasked security chiefs to commence joint patrol of Nigerian major highways to protect travellers.

Agreeing that the nation’s internal security has collapsed and the situation gone beyond the capacity of the federal government, the Senate urged the government to urgently convey a national security summit to address the perennial issue.

As an immediate measure, the senators called for an urgent meeting with the President for actions that will restore internal security and ensure the protection of lives and property.

The Upper Chamber as well charged the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to maintain potholes on major highways which are usual hideout of hoodlums.

It also urged state governors and local government chairmen to cooperate and collaborate with needed logistics in their respective states and local government in this respect.

The Senate directed the Budget Office and the Senate committees on Appropriation and Defence to ensure that necessary funds are allocated in the 2020 Appropriation Bill for the operations of lying patrols of the Armed Forces and other security agencies.

These resolutions were part of decisions of the Senate during a debate on a point of order raised by Senator Ayo Akinyelure (Ondo Central) over “Insecurity in Nigeria and Gruesome Killing of Funke Olakunrin,” daughter

of Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, at plenary on Tuesday.

Akinyelure condemned the gruesome murder of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin by the unknown gunmen and commiserated with the family of the nonagenarian and elder statesman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, on the grievous loss of his daughter in the unfortunate gun attack.

He called on the Inspector General of police, the service chiefs to urgently extend security dragnet to apprehend the culprits in the killing of Mrs. Olakunrin and other cases of attacks and kidnappings and bring them to justice.

Contributing, Senator Nicholas Tofowomo (Ondo South), said “it is obvious that our internal security is in shambles. It is nothing to write home about. They have not even started anything at all. We don’t have any internal security. So we cannot even be talking of Next Level.

“We need a robust conference on our security arrangement in this country because now we are talking of a person that was killed on Friday.

What about those people that we don’t even know?

“We cannot be coming here and be complaining and be passing the buck to the Federal Government. It is beyond Federal Government. All of us must cry out. And we must all sit down together and address this issue so that an average Nigerian can be guaranteed of his or her safety.

Senator Tolu Odebiyi (APC, Ogun West), said: “We have to demand an action by security forces. We have to demand an action by the Presidency.

We need to stand up and find a solution to this problem. There is nothing that we do here that appeal

Lawan if we don’t get our security situation right in this country.

“Only last week, we discussed here the issue of Continental Free Trade Agreement and to my surprise, Ghana has now been made the headquarters of the agreement.

“This is a major loss for this country. Economically, it has major impact and these are the implications when you don’t get your security situation right. And we cannot watch everyday coming here, mourning, grieving, having one minute of silence as innocent Nigerians are being killed and no action is being taken.

“There is a feeling of hopelessness that nothing we do here has effect”.

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said: “We should have a one robust National summit on the security situation of this country.

Instead of taking more time in this we go through the prayers and try

to organise the National Summit in security to address the situation.”

He added that the killing of Funke was unfortunate.

Lawan further said: “Let me one again mention that the security situation of this country is perverse and every part of the country has in story or another to tell of the situation.

“So it will be the duty of this Senate to hold all encompassing and all inclusive National Summit on Security including the third arm of government of course because we have to work together with them to address this situation, therefore the different and various interventions alluded today will be taken into consideration.

The call by the Senate for a summit on security is coming about a year after a similar summit was held in February 2018 at the height of herdsmen killings in some parts of the country.

Presidential poll: Atiku is a bonafide Nigerian, witness tells tribunal Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Hearing continued on Tuesday before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja with Ambassador Mabien Zamaki informing the tribunal that Atiku Abubakar is a bonafide Nigerian by birth.

Ambassador Zamaki was one of Atiku witnesses that testified on Tuesday before the tribunal in the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the February 23 election of President Muhammadu Buhari The retired career diplomat also told the tribunal that Atiku was legally qualified to contest the presidential poll having being born on November 25, 1946, at Jada in the northern part of Nigeria.

Led in evidence by Atiku’s lead counsel, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), Ambassador Zamaki further told the tribunal that Atiku’s record in his former secondary School was not confidential and can be accessed by anybody doubting the nationality of the PDP presidential candidate.

The witness, who claimed to have retired from active service in 2006, admitted that he saw the record from the custodian of the record in their secondary school and that the record is still there for anybody to cross check.

Zamaki further told the tribunal that he has fair knowledge of history of Nigeria as it relates to Jada in Adamawa

and insisted that in 1946 when Atiku was born, Jada was part and parcel of Northern Nigeria and not part of Cameroon as suggested by the APC’s counsel.

He vehemently denied that any part of northern Nigeria including Jada was ever ceded to Cameroon.

Under cross- examination by INEC lawyer, the witness confessed that he was not at the point where Atiku was born but admitted that Major General Muhammadu Buhari between 1983 and 1985 was a military Head of State.

Another witness, Mohammed Kabir Hayatu, a retired customs officer, corroborated the Nigerian nationality of the former vice president Atiku.

Hayatu, who was also led in his evidence in - chief by Atiku’s lawyer, told the tribunal that he came in contact with Atiku’s record in the Nigerian Customs Service where Atiku retired as a senior Customs officer.

Under cross examination, Hayatu said that Adamawa was part of northern Nigeria and that Jada fell on the part of Nigeria and not northern Cameroon.

As at the time of this report, five witnesses comprising Mabien Zamaki, Mohammed Hayatu, Likita Alli, Temago Sunday Anyamaga and Abubakar Sadiq Abdullahi from Adamawa and Nasarawa states had testified for the petitioners.

Another witness for the petitioners, Peter Ali in his evidence, alleged that an official of the Independent National

Electoral Commission (INEC), Abubakar Kaura, was found with a whopping sum of $10,000 on the day of election.

Ali, who said he was the ward collation officer, also alleged that the $10,000 dollars was a bribe for the INEC officer to manipulate the outcome of the election results in the area of Nasarawa State.

Under cross examination by INEC counsel, Yunus Usman (SAN), Ali admitted he reported the matter to the police which he claimed was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Bureau for further investigation.

When asked if he knew whether anyone was charged for the said allegation, he said he did not know and, even added that he doesn’t have any report concerning the outcome of the investigation.

Also, the INEC counsel asked him whether he signed form EC88 under duress, the witness said he signed it voluntarily mainly because his party won in the ward.

Further, Ali said that his statement on oath before the tribunal was not a hearsay evidence and that he went on a tip off to personally witness the alleged $10, 000 found in the custody of the INEC officer.

The witness also asserted that out of the 24 units in the ward, he was only able to receive results of 23 units excluding the unit where the allegation was allegedly perpetrated.

Earlier, President Buhari, had presented a video at the tribunal

showing the chairman of INEC, Prof.

Mahmoud Yakubu, on February 6 in an interview on Channels television explaining the challenges likely to be faced ahead of the election in the area of communication and transmission of election results.

The video clip was thereafter admitted in evidence with objection to be raised later by the petitioners at the address stage.

Also testifying, Sunday John said armed men later identified as APC agents struck at a polling unit in Karu local government of Nasarawa State and scattered the election materials on arrival and damaged the smart card reader deployed for the election.

He said as a result of the violent attack, the election could not hold at the polling unit.

Another witness, Harry Gunde, also from Karu local government of Nasarawa State, told the tribunal that election result was altered and falsified at the local government collation centre by security personnel, INEC officials and APC agents.

While Mohammed Opaluwa, who told the tribunal there was massive thumb printing of ballot papers for APC in his unit, another witness, Jonathan Nasara, a former counsellor, who served as ward agent claimed, election result announced by INEC officials were allotted by APC agents and security personnel to parties that contested the election.

Hearing continues today.

More reactions trail Obasanjo’s letter to Buhari Continued from page 3 tense.

The group, which has been working to entrench democracy, good governance and fight against corruption, added that the security challenges in the country were worrying.

CDD said that if the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) lawmakers were deliberating on the increasing insecurity in Nigeria, the country’s leaders must rise to the challenge.

Miyetti Allah seeks Obasanjo’s arrest Meanwhile, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, in a swift reaction, has called for the arrest of Obasanjo over his latest letter.

The National Secretary of the Miyetti Allah, Alhassan Saleh, who spoke during an interview in Abuja, said that the Fulani should not be blamed for the rate of insecurity in the country.

According to Saleh, Obasanjo should offer any information his status may have afforded him to solve the security crisis.

“The fact that there is insecurity, I don’t think the Fulani are responsible for it. The narrative that we are responsible for the insecurity is even the problem we have with the Nigerian state.

“When any crime happens, even before there is an investigation, people rush to the press and start accusing Fulani herdsmen. Herdsmen are supposed to be carrying herds of cows but if somebody is a criminal or an armed robber, he should be treated as such’’, Saleh said.

We will reply at appropriate time – ACF On its part, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has said that the forum is still understudying the letter and would respond to it at the appropriate time.

“Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) is studying Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari and will make its position known soon’’, National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu said.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abubakar Girei, has said that Obasanjo did not say anything new in his latest letter.

“But reading in between the lines I believe our security and intelligence agencies will do the needful to save us from the nefarious plans of the looters, bad political losers and other enemies of our dear nation. Obasanjo and his cohorts should know that there will be no hiding place for anyone who is bent on bringing down the whole roof over our heads.

“I will suggest that regardless of the well-known ill intention of the messenger, Buhari should also consider a political solution to our challenges to complement other measures. Creating avenues for dialogue and discussions at various levels is certainly a good option.”

The Daily Times recalls that Funke Olakunrin, the 58-year-old daughter of the leader of the pan-Yoruba sociocultural organisation, Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, was shot dead by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers in Ore, headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

It was gathered that Mrs. Olakunrin was heading for Akure from Lagos when gunmen suspected to be herdsmen attacked her on the Benin-Ore road.

Many notable Nigerians have come out to condemn the development some calling for a total over haul of security.

Coalition opposes call for takeover of Bauchi Assembly by NASS Samuel Luka, Bauchi

A Coalition of Progressive Political Parties (CPPP) comprising of 35 political parties in Bauchi State on Tuesday distanced themselves from a purported report that “political parties in Bauchi have called on the House of Representatives to take over affairs of the state assembly” following leadership crisis.

The coalition while refuting a story aired by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) on July 15 which allegedly reported that political parties in the state have asked the committee to take over the state assembly, described the call as misleading.

Spokesperson of the coalition, who is also the state Chairman of the Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), Sani Burra, appealed to the committee to also dismiss any allegation of wrong doing in the process of electing the speaker and

deputy speaker of the 9th state assembly.

He stated that “there is no political party in Bauchi State that is chaired by a woman but in the report, a woman spoke on behalf of the political parties. We expected to hear the lady mention her name and the political party she is chairing. So, it is questionable because the lady who spoke on behalf of the said political parties did not mention her name or which political party she represents.

So we are not even aware of such move.”

According to the coalition, the election of the principal officers of the state assembly was in order as it took place inside the assembly chamber with the presence of the mace and the clerk of the assembly as enshrined in the laws of the land.

“The election of the House leaders where 13 out of 31 members voted was in line with its standing orders of 2017 as amended,” Burra said, adding that “the quorum of

Gbajabiamila the House shall be one- third which is 11 of all the members of the House who are 31 in all.

“The honourable memberselect who were present were exactly 13 in number and the population of the members -elect in Bauchi State are 31 members. This invariably means 18 members-elect wilfully stayed away from the exercise as prescribed by the Standing Order 2, rule 2 (1)

supra-meaning they refused to exercise their rights to vote and or to be voted for as speaker or deputy speaker,” he stated.

The spokesperson for the coalition said: “We therefore, crave your indulgence to quote Order 4 of the Standing Order 2017 governing the requisite number of members present to form a legal and valid quorum.”

Sets to head European Central Bank

Ahead of the 2019 Annual World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Meetings in October, the Managing Director of IMF, Ms Christine Lagarde, on Tuesday, announced her resignation from the organisation effective September 12th, 2019.

Lagarde, who had on July 2, temporarily relinquished the position to contest the European Central Bank (ECB) leadership, would be taking over as head of the Bank.

In a statement on Tuesday, she said: “I have met with the Executive Board and submitted my resignation from the Fund with effect from September 12, 2019.

“The relinquishment

of my responsibilities as Managing Director announced previously will remain in effect until then.

“With greater clarity now on the process for my nomination as ECB President and the time it will take, I have made this decision in the best interest of the Fund, as it will expedite the selection process for my successor.

“The Executive Board will now be taking the necessary steps to move forward with the process for selecting a new Managing Director, David Lipton, remains our Acting Managing Director.”

According to her, the IMF will communicate on the Executive Board’s process of selecting a new Managing Director in due course, as Mr. David Lipton remains Acting

Managing Director.

The Fund’s Executive Board also issued a statement on Tuesday saying it had accepted Lagarde’s resignation from the Fund with effect from September 12, 2019.

“We would like to express our greatest appreciation for all that Managing Director Lagarde has done for the institution. Her legacy of achievements has made a lasting imprint on the Fund.

“Under her guidance, the Fund successfully helped its members navigate a complex and unprecedented set of challenges, including the impact of the global financial crisis and its aftershocks.

“The Fund has excelled in serving its entire membership over the course of her tenure with cutting-edge policy

advice supported by groundbreaking analytical work on a range of macro-critical issues.

“Her stewardship has been exceptional, and we are grateful for her innovative and visionary leadership.

“With this decision by Managing Director Lagarde, the IMF Executive Board will initiate promptly the process of selecting the next Managing Director and will communicate in a timely fashion.

“The Executive Board has the utmost confidence in Mr. David Lipton, who remains Acting Managing Director of the Fund in the interim period.

Meanwhile, the next global institutions meetings are scheduled to hold in Washington, D.C United State of America from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of October.

Insecurity: Those criticizing me are not patriotic, says Buhari President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday took a swipe at those criticizing him on the level of insecurity in the country, saying that they were not patriotic.

He made the remark when he received the national executive of the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari insisted that those criticizing the isolated cases of insecurity in the country were not patriotic Nigerians, as according to him, countries around the world are facing one security challenge or the other.

Also, he pointed out that there were new challenges of banditry and kidnapping around the globe.

He said: “I assure you and Nigerians that we will not relent in our efforts to secure the country from criminal activities. Those who politicise the isolated cases of insecurity are not patriotic Nigerians.

“I’m confident that this administration uses all resources at its disposal to protect the lives and property of all Nigerians and not just prominent Nigerians or those who make headlines.’’

On corruption, President Buhari said his administration would continue to be tough on its ongoing crusade against corrupt practices in the country.

“We will continue to be tough on

the cancer of corruption as you may be aware the African Union in its deliberations last year appointed me as African Corruption Champion for the continent.

“This is because other countries have seen our dedication to fighting corruption and are keen to emulate our approach,’’ he added.

The president also reiterated the determination of All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.

He noted that policies and programmes put in place by the government to support farmers and small businesses had started yielding

fruitful results.

“We remain committed to lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years. Policies put in place to support farmers and small businesses are yielding positive results and we are determined to integrate them into the larger economy.

In his remarks, the Coordinator of the group, Malam Danladi Pasali, said they were in the Presidential Villa to congratulate the president over his recent electoral victory in the February Presidential election. He maintained that the president’s electoral victory was ordained by God and hence it was duty bound by all well-meaning citizens to support the Buhari administration.

Both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, have commended Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, for making public his assets declarations forms, in line with his electioneering campaign promise.

The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, noted that such voluntary decision further demonstrates Governor Makinde’s commitment to transparency and good governance, for which the people of Oyo State voted massively for him in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.

The PDP commended the governor for refusing to repudiate the promises he made in the heat of elections, which is an uncommon act of fidelity in our clime.

The party assured that this stance will further endear Makinde to the people of Oyo State as well as showcase the PDP as a party whose members make their words their bond.

In this regard, the PDP said it is in no doubt as to Governor Makinde’s commitment and ability to deliver good governance and the muchexpected development to the

people of Oyo State.

In the same vein, Atiku Abubakar with pride and delight said that Governor Makinde by this action demonstrated that integrity is not mere lip homage, but a consistent course of action of an individual doing as they promised.

Atiku commended the governor for his forthrightness and also expresses his support to him and his administration in delivering good governance in the Pace Setter’s state.

Atiku recalled that the governor had hit the ground running after his swearing in as governor with ground breaking policies that seek to frontally address the problems of corruption in public and private sectors and also in advancing the access to universal basic education.

“These are programmes to which the PDP is heartily committed”, he said.

The former Vice President added that Gov Makinde by his action as the only elected public official so far to so publicly declare his assets speaks eloquently to the maxim of leadership by example.

“By this, the Governor has spoken without any ambiguity, that his administration will not condone corruption. His example is highly recommended to other leaders at all levels of government,” said Atiku.

Buhari condoles with Makarfi over father’s death President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his condolences to Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, former Governor of Kaduna State and former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the death of his father, Alhaji Muhammadu Makarfi, the Majidadin Zazzau.

A statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, also commiserated with the government and

people of Kaduna State and Zazzau Emirate on the passage of the Majidadin Zazzau, who was a strong voice for his community.

“The President’s prayers and thoughts are with the entire Makarfi family, friends and well-wishers as they mourn the illustrious community leader.

“He prays almighty Allah to accept the soul of the departed and comfort those who mourn,” the statement read.

Minimum wage: FG commences payment for workers below N30,000 salary benchmark

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate implementation of the N30,000 new national wage for Federal Public Service workers currently earning below the minimum wage.

The Chairman, National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, Chief Richard Egbule said this while addressing a news conference on the implementation of the new national minimum wage on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said that the commencement of the approved payment would be determined by the office of the AccountantGeneral and back dated to when the President signed the agreement.

Also, the Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTISS II) and Consolidated Tertiary Educational Institutions Salary Structure (CONTEDISS) would be affected.

“The negotiations between the Federal Government and the joint National Public Service Negotiating Council on the consequential adjustment arising from the new minimum wage for officers who earn above N30,000 would continue.

“The outcome of such negotiations will be implemented with effect from the date an agreement is reached,” he said.

Delta North: Supreme Court upholds Short News Insecurity: We’ll stand firm with the Sen. Nwaoboshi’s election Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the election of Senator Peter Nwaoboshi of Delta North Senatorial District as the winner of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary held on October 2, 2018 and duly elected on February 23, 2019.

The apex court struck out the two appeals filed by Ned Nwoko, who had challenged Sen. Nwaoboshi’s election for lack of jurisdiction.

In a unanimous decision on Tuesday, the apex court said that the originating summons filed

by Ned Nwoko on December 11, 2018 at the Federal High, Abuja, was incompetent and that the trial judge was therefore, in error as the incompetent process had robbed the court off its jurisdiction.

Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Inyang Okoro stated that

“the originating summons is incompetent and judgment of the trial court is without jurisdiction.

This court has raised the issue of jurisdiction so moto (on its own) in the light of Section 295 (8) of the constitution as to when the cause of action arose.

“The appellant and indeed, all parties agreed that the PDP declared Sen. Nwaoboshi winner of the primary election on October 2, 2018 and that the declaration set off the action taken by the appellant. The appellant (Nwoko) was aggrieved on October 2, 2018 when the result was announced.”

He said that the argument by Nwoko’s lawyer that the cause of action was a continuous injury did not fly at all in the light of the fourth alteration to the constitution which provides that pre-election matters should be filed within 14 days when the action, event and

decision took place, in the instant case the appellant went to court on December 11, 2018.

The trial court judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed granted the relief sought and declared Ned Nwoko as senator -elect for Delta North. But, aggrieved by the court’s decision, Sen. Nwaoboshi lodged an appeal at the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal in a unanimous judgment set aside the judgment of federal high court delivered by Justice Ahmed Mohammed and struck out Nwoko’s suit for being statute barred at the time it was filed at the lower court.

Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Baba Idris held that “by the time the matter was instituted the action was statute barred having commenced outside the 14 days allowed by the law.”

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reiterated its commitment to stand firm with Christians in the country despite the insecurity, kidnapping, banditry, herdsmen killings and persecution the church is going through in the nation.

CAN said it is putting pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government to ensure the freedom of Leah Shariubu, the remaining Chibok girls and other Christians who were abducted for no reason.

CAN National Director, Legal and Public Affairs, Evang. Kwamkur Samuel Vondip in a press statement applauded Christians in the country for the peaceful election that returned Rev. Samson Supo Ayokunle as president and Rev. Solomon Ahima as vice president of CAN. “The leadership of CAN under Rev. Ayokunle came at a time that Christians are going through very hard times with attacks on the church from different angles, particularly the Middle Belt region of the country. This violence has almost covered the whole of the country now with the north more affected in general.

“The persistent attacks without corresponding response from the government in our own view made the leadership of CAN to insist on seeing President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The leadership saw the President on two to three occasions. The issues affecting the nation negatively, especially the church which range from high level of insecurity to the call for the release of Leah Sharibu, the call for Nigeria to dissociate herself from the membership of Islamic organizations because we perceived such as religious partisanship and a break of the constitution were tabled before the President for action.

“We equally, showed our displeasure to the seeming violence perpetrated by the Fulani herdsmen with a sense of impunity because they have not been brought to book. We presented the issue of imbalance or skewed appointments into government positions, particularly that of the security chiefs which needed being corrected,” he stated.

CAN expressed dismay over the activities of some disgruntled elements who were not satisfied with the outcome of the CAN national election and are peddling falsehood that the leadership of the association has not shown enough concern over the precarious condition of Christians in the country.

“How can any group now come up and say that the present leadership of CAN is not defending the faith? Were they absent from the country when all of these actions were taken? As if the above actions were not enough, CAN leadership also undertook visits to many crises riddled communities and distributed relief materials.

FAAN threatens clampdown on food vendors at airports Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo, Lagos

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Tuesday threatened to shut the activities of food vendors at airports nationwide if their products expose passengers and other airport users to poisoning or contamination.

FAAN said it will hand over operators of food outfits found culpable of selling stale and contaminated food which posed health hazards to passengers to the officials of the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for probe and prosecution.

FAAAN Managing Director, Capt. Rabiu Hamisu Yadudu disclosed this while speaking at the maiden World Food Day Safety awareness workshop at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Yadudu said the authority will subject operators to routine six months medical examination to ascertain their fitness and personal hygiene because of the safety and critical implications of their

business.

He said the authority has to raise the bar in pre- qualification requirements for food vendors at the airports to enable them meet best global practices in the food vending value chain.

Yadudu said FAAN will continue to collaborate with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), NAFDAC, port health services, the Lagos state Safety Commission and other stakeholders to ensure that persons approved to supply food at the airports comply with world class health, regulatory, and environmental prerequisites.

The FAAN boss said operators at the airports have to be scrutinized to ensure that they do not only meet the medical requirements, but ensure that the environment where such foods are purchased, processed, handled and transported meet the highest standards possible.

He said FAAN was raising the bar in regulating operators in the food value chain because of increasing incidence of food poisoning and contamination by passengers.

He said: “Any food vendor found to be involved in selling any food

at airports that result in poisoning or contamination will be shut. All operators must submit their food, personnel to medical screening.”

He said the authority was working towards achieving a decent and healthy food safety delivery within the airport environment, adding that “this can only be achieved if we are able to identify and control factors that militate against food poisoning which threatens the welfare and survival of our staff and customers.”

In her presentation, a resource person, Ms. Arese Lucia Ojelede, while speaking on the topic: “Aviation industry and food safety: Connecting the link,” canvassed routine inspection and audit of food vendors at airports as part of efforts to keep them in check.

She called for the certification of food vendors at airports, whom she said must look out for their source of water; transportation system, supply chain, state of hygiene of the workers and the environment in which food is prepared.

She noted that most cases of food poisoning involving passengers were not reported to enable the regulators sanction erring operators.

A 41-year-old installation engineer, Festus Femi has been arrested by the operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition in Persons (NAPTIP) for allegedly raping three students of the same secondary school.

The suspect, an indigene of Ondo state was apprehended by men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and thereafter, referred to the NAPTIP for further investigations and prosecution.

The first victim, a 13-year -old junior secondary student in one of the secondary schools in the Federal Capital Territory, lives with her parents in Bwari.

The victim stated that she met Festus through her classmate, who asked that she escort her to Festus’ house, claiming that he was her uncle. On getting to the house, her classmate and Festus went out briefly and on their return she told the victim that Festus wanted to have sex with her.

The victim’s refusal and pleas of being a virgin were ignored as Festus turned the volume of the sound system very high and raped her in the presence of her friend. He further threatened to kill her if she tells anyone. This left the victim so distraught that she attempted suicide.

The second victim is a 12-year -old junior secondary student who lives with her aunt in Bwari. The same classmate took her to Festus’ house and told her that Festus wanted to have sex with her.

On her refusal, Festus gave them money and told them to visit some other time. On a fateful day, she was on her way to her classmate’s house and met Festus on the way, who then invited her to his house and raped her while she was waiting for her friend.

The third victim, a 15-year- old girl is the same person that introduced the other two victims to Festus.

Senate to address funding of computer education Tunde Opalana, Abuja Concerned by the sorry state of computer education in primary and secondary schools in the country, the Senate on Tuesday resolved to address its funding so to improve computer education among teachers and pupils in Nigerian schools.

It urged the federal government through the ministry of education and its relevant educational agencies to provide computer training for teachers in public schools and basic computer facilities for proper training of pupils and students in computer knowledge.

The Senate also charged the federal government to formulate for the building and equipping of computer laboratories in public schools.

These resolutions were consequent upon a motion sponsored by Senator Akon Etim Eyakenyi (Akwa Ibom South).

She argued that the formulation of a national policy on the importance of ICT by providing for the training of teachers and provision of basic facilities for teaching computer in primary and secondary schools and regretted that most public schools in Nigeria lack competent teachers with computer knowledge and basic facilities to properly teach pupils and students In his contribution, Senator Godiya Akwasiki representing Nasarawa North Senatorial District reminded Senate that Section 21(b) of the constitution states that government should provide science and technology education.

He said further: “Even in Rwanda, the government has initiated one laptop computer per child and if the principle of this current government is to move the nation to the next level, then, science and technology education is key.”

Senator Albert Akpan noted that pupils of private schools were better off in computer education, saying that private schools pay attention to computer education than public schools.

“In private primary schools for instance, pupils already know how to operate computers, but not public schools and now that we are in a global world, computer education is important in our public schools,” he added.

Short News It’s time to confront bandits, assembly leadership impasse kidnappers headlong - Jonathan Bauchi fuelled by personal interest - Tukur Condoles with Pa Fasoranti over daughter’s death

Adewale Momoh, Akure Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday commiserated with the National Leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti on the demise of his daughter, Mrs. Olufunke Olakunri, who was shot dead by gunmen last week.

Jonathan, who described the death Mrs. Olakunrin as a tragic incident, said that the sad development reminds everyone of the dire situation the country is currently enmeshed in.

According to the former President, for the country to overcome the security challenges plaguing her, a new approach must be employed at tackling the menace.

Jonathan, who signed the condolence register at the home of the Afenifere leader, wrote that “I called to pay condolence to baba on the death of the daughter. With me are King A. J. Turner, Tobias James and Prof.

Brizebe Seiyefa. This death is very painful to all Nigerians. The circumstance of the death is devastating. We pray that God should give the family, especially baba the fortitude to bear the loss. May her soul rest in peace.”

Speaking with journalists after the visit, he added that “we know we will all die

and that death does not respect age. But, the circumstance of death matters so much.

Particularly, in this case, it is quite a painful incident.

“Every generation of human beings face problems and that generation must find ways of solving that problem. Every government faces some unique problems. Insecurity has been with us since after the civil war. That was the first time we experienced armed robbery in Lagos. From armed robbery, it graduated to kidnapping.

“The first major kidnapping I described as commercial kidnapping because some money exchanged hands happened in 2006 when I was also a governor of Bayelsa state.

“From commercial kidnapping it moved to terrorism in the north and now some kind of terrorist attacks all over the country, when people will just come out on the road and spray bullets on innocent people; that is terror attack. You have no reason to attack somebody you don’t even know; that is terrorism.

“It’s now a major problem to the country and my belief is that the federal government working with the state government must design a different approach.

“I was there as President for some time, security challenges were there with me, I also inherited some. But, it is getting worse every day. And we cannot continue to use the same

old method.

“The police, the SSS and the armed forces must deploy technology and I believe if the federal government will need to set up a special unit, just like we set up EFCC and ICPC to handle specific issues of corruption, they will know that their total responsibility is to manage this issue of kidnapping and terrorist attacks on people going on the road or going to the farms.”

According to Jonathan, the 2014 confab report has already addressed all the issues affecting the country, particularly insecurity and charged the Buhari administration to go through the report for solutions.

“We can’t continue this way; it is not just possible because we can’t talk about managing the economy of this country if people are not safe. Economy is for the people, they must alive to enjoy infrastructure. Even if you tar all the roads in the country and people cannot move around, then the road becomes meaningless.

“In 2014, when I was a sitting President, we had a national conference where a number of things were discussed. The issues of security, state and regional police were discussed. I always believe that government should look into that report because it was not written by me, so we should not play politics with issue of national issues.

Samuel Luka, Bauchi Former member representing Lere/Bula State Constituency in the Bauchi state House of Assembly, Alhaji Muhammad Aminu Tukur has said that the conflict that has engulfed the assembly since its inauguration is not in the interest of the state, but the personal quest for leadership.

Tukur described the leadership crisis in the state House of Assembly as a case of “a tattooist who does not want to be tattooed.”

The former lawmaker stated this on Tuesday while addressing the House of Representatives ad hoc committee set up by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila to intervene in the Bauchi state House of Assembly leadership crisis at the Command Guest Inn, Bauchi.

“The legislative arm of government remains the pivot of democracy in any given circumstance for transparency in the administration of justice, governance and national cohesion,” he stated.

Tukur, who cited Order 2, rule 2 of the standing orders of the state House of Assembly 2017 as amended, pointed out that “on the first day of the meeting of state House of Assembly pursuant to the proclamation of the governor of Bauchi state, members shall assembly at the time and place so appointed. Here, no specification is mentioned of time of convergence.”

“The former speaker of the assembly, along with 11 selected members acting on the script of former Governor Mohammed Abubakar, converged at the House as early as 7am and repealed a law that was enacted by the same House in 2017.

“The law was for the then governor to recover looted state properties in the possession of his immediate predecessor. On losing his second term bid and sensing nemesis would catch up with him, he summoned his cronies in the House to do his bidding against the standing orders of the House.

“This was effectively done before most of us could arrive at the stated time of 10am, a clear contradiction to the standing orders in place,” he said further.

Tukur urged members of the 9th state assembly to eschew bitterness and rancour and put the interest of the state first above personal quest.

“The state cannot afford to have a state executive arm of government tailored to serve a certain interest of the past that was characterized with failed promises to continue to direct the affairs of 6 million people in the state,” Tukur said.

Senate moves to avert impending SSANU, NASU nationwide strike

The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution to stop the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) and the Non -Academic Staff of Nigerian Universities (NASU) from carrying out their threat to go on strike.

The resolutions followed a motion

by Sen. Barau Jibril (APC Kano) on the urgent need to avert the impending strike being planned by SSANU and NASU. Barau, who brought his motion, citing Order 42 and 52 of the Senate Rule, said that both unions had issued a warning strike on the Federal Government.

He said the strike would not be in the interest of the nation’s tertiary institutions, if allowed to go on.

He said the unions hinged their reason for the planned action on government’s inability to grant their request.

According to him, the unions said

their members were excluded from participating in the new pension administrator approved for the university lecturers.

He said the unions described as unacceptable, the payment of 20 per cent earned allowance to their members as against the 80 per cent to the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU).

The lawmaker said that it was incumbent on the senate to urgently intervene to avert the strike.

Seconding the motion, Sen. Adamu Aliero (APC Kebbi) said it was important for the senate to intervene to avert another crisis in the nation’s higher institutions.

Contributing, Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP Enugu) said the senate must urgently intervene to advert the looming strike by the unions.

Sen. Ibrahim Oloriebe (APC Kwara)

said strike in the university would put students on the streets.

Other senators, who supported the motion, underscored the need for a stable academic calendar in the education sector.

They also called for adequate funding of the tertiary institutions and payment of university lecturers.

In its resolution, the Senate resolved to invite SSANU, NASU and ASUU officials to resolve the issues.

It also resolved to invite the officials of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and the Federal Ministry of Education to address the issues raised by the unions.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that both unions had begun a three-day protest on Monday to press home their demand from the federal government.

Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Prof.

Nelson Brambaifa, has said that the commission will partner with the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to provide free healthcare to rural communities in the Niger Delta region.

Prof. Brambaifa said this when a delegation from the NMA Rivers state branch, led by the Vice Chairman, Dr. Ebbi Robinson, paid him a courtesy visit at the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt.

The NDDC chief executive officer said that as an interventionist agency, the commission would always collaborate with experts to provide adequate healthcare for rural communities in the Niger Delta region, as part of its commitment to enhance better healthcare delivery to the people.

He assured the NMA of the support of the NDDC in training and retraining of medical personnel, noting that it was necessary to bridge the gap in healthcare delivery in the Niger Delta by taking medical experts to the various communities.

The NDDC boss stated that the commission is determined to make a difference in the health sector through the engagement of relevant partners, observing that many people have benefited from the free medical services organized by the commission to address various health issues.

According to him, the NDDC has always made efforts to bring healthcare to the door-steps of rural dwellers and that the NDDC’s free medical mission makes it possible to assemble medical experts in different areas of specialization to attend to the needs of people who would otherwise not have access to such highly qualified medical personnel.

Earlier in his remarks, the Vice Chairman of NMA, Dr. Ebbi Robinson, commended the NDDC for promoting health-related programmes that help to reduce the medical challenges facing the people of the region.

He said that “we want to partner with the NDDC in manpower development in the health sector. There is need to sponsor the training of specialties in the medical sector and we need the support of the NDDC in training and retraining of medical personnel.”

Can we all just get along?

Fredrick Nwabufo

The eyes see what they want to see. And the mind believes what the eyes see. In the Washington Post’s essay entitled, ‘Psychology explains why people are so easily duped’, Eryn Newman, a postdoctoral scholar in cognitive psychology at the University of California, deduced that ‘’photos and names can have surprisingly powerful effects on our memories, beliefs and evaluations of others’’.

Eryn raised two poignant questions: “How do we come to believe that things are true when they are not? How can we remember things that never actually happened?”

When a label becomes the routine audio-visual constituent of public conversations, a perception is easily manufactured, and the mind is programmed to that falsehood or ‘’truthiness’’. This is malignant.

Stereotyping, ethnic labelling and reiteration of generalised fallacy are like landmines that remain rooted in the ground long after warfare. The fact is, the hate we trade today will survive us. And God forbid, that our children continue on this path of

animus. We cannot have a peaceful and progressive country when hatetrading has become a quotidian chore.

I recently had to carry out a ‘’defenestration’’ of some toxic WhatsApp groups which became a minatory deformer of my mental stability. I must say, WhatsApp is a fecundating platform for vicious, malicious falsehoods, fake news and conspiracy theories. It is more lethal in mischief than any other social media platform because of the shroud of commonality and the discipline of groupthink.

When you wake up at 5am to images of dismembered bodies with a footnote of the usual villains, you cannot possibly have a vivacious day.

The effect of media materials such as these, which in most cases are spinoffs of propaganda, is subliminal and lacerating.

Here is what the psychologist says:‘’Photos are a record of real events, so it’s not surprising that we often view them as the best evidence that something actually happened.

What is more surprising is our recent work showing that photos can alter

our beliefs even when they do not provide any evidence for the claim at hand. In a study we conducted in New Zealand at Victoria University of Wellington, we found that when people read a statement (such as “Macadamia nuts are in the same evolutionary family as peaches”) alongside a decorative photo that simply related to the claim (a bowl of macadamia nuts), they were more likely to believe that the claim was true. That is, these decorative photos produced truthiness — photos that were related to but did not depict the claim encouraged people to believe that the claims were credible.

Moreover, this truthiness effect persisted over days, not minutes, and could have long-lasting effects on people’s beliefs.

But visual cues are not the only source of non-diagnostic evidence that people use to evaluate claims.

People can be influenced by even more subtle features of information, like the linguistic attributes of a word.’’

So, why do you believe what you believe? Because someone shared it on WhatsApp or other platforms?

Because it is convenient for you to believe it as you cannot engage in critical thinking? Because it dovetails with your bias and sentiments?

Probe all things – that include the possible reasons for malicious ethnic labelling. The fear of ethnic domination is one. And it has been the wraith in the Nigeria haunted castle. It changes in complexion with every change in government. When Jonathan was president; his ethnic group, the Ijaw, were the content for derisive memes and labels.

We must condemn all crimes and hold offenders to account. But we must not make them about a people.

I would be offended if I am profiled for the sins of a minute group in my clan.

Also, the political value of the current crisis cannot be discounted; hence we must be mindful of the information we consume and share.

We need a disrupted social conditioning; that, which makes us appraise other citizens by the content of their character and not by where they come from or where they worship.

We all need to get along.

Freedom from Hate

Nuhu Ribadu

I thank the management of the Pace-Setters College, Abuja for the opportunity to interact with the graduating students and other students of this College.

It is in conversations between generations like this that the young ones benefit from the experience of the aged. And it is said that the old are only wise because they have lived the life of the young.

The fraternity of ideas between the generations is therefore important in fostering socialisation and imparting values and experience.

I usually feel nostalgic any time I come across a group of young people like you in an organised place like this. I admire your innocence, the bond among you, the ideas and imagination, and the adventurous mind you have. These combine to make you the most important demography for the society; you are creative, geeky, and energetic and, by virtue of your age, you are going to be the drivers of this country in the near future.

As individuals, you come from different families from around the vast diversity of this country, which is one beauty and the intendment of unity schools like this. You come with the orientation and values of your families and the language you acquired at home. You also have the religions you opened your eyes to see your parents practice.

With you are also the cultures and idiosyncrasies of your immediate communities. You carry the worldview and orientation of those immediate surroundings. That is expected.

However, in your school life, in the years since coming to this place, you have been exposed to other persons, as classmates and persons you share dormitories with. A number of them cannot speak in the same mother tongue as you, another sizable number do

not profess the same faith that you do. If you were to be asked to dress according to your native cultures, the school will have an interesting display of varieties.

Interestingly, the Ahmed who is hostel mate to you, Segun, and Emeka who sits beside you in class, are now humans. You have come to associate and look at each other as friends and brothers.

In the days and months and years you have spent here, you have grown from strangers suspicious of each other, to acquaintances curious about each other, to friends that cherish each other. You have grown above the markers of your circumstances of birth to humans that only see the inherent good or bad in each other beyond the masks imposed on everyone by fate. Your competition for academic excellence, and your collaboration in curricula and extra-curricular matters recognise no ethnic or religious markers. You succeed because you work and partner dispassionately.

By the scenario I have painted, you an ideal Nigeria, the utopia of coexistence that we should aimed for as a country of diversity.

You, the graduating students, are now going out to the larger society, a freer environment than here. Your social interaction will change as you are now going to be in direct contacts with more adults, in your own graduation to adulthood as well. I know you cannot wait for the freedom awaiting you outside the college; the freedom to mingle and interact and a freedom to now own a smart phone permanently, that no one will take from you when you are going to school. I know in your minds right now are those freedoms you eagerly await. You deserve them!

But while you go out there to start you adult life and bask in the freedom that comes with it. You have

to be wary of an ugly virus making the round in our larger society. You have to take the lessons you learnt in diversity, love and peaceful coexistence to the larger society. We need that lesson from you and how you live among yourselves.

When you leave here into the society, you need to be extra careful and a notch wiser than you are presently. Importantly, you have to learn through the follies of folks out there and sift from that which your new freedoms offer you.

You have to close your eyes, ears and minds to merchants of hate now walking dangerously in our spaces.

They go about everywhere, from the social network on your mobile phones, to political and social gatherings, to, most unfortunately, some pulpits and sacred spaces.

They try, in devilish desperation, to pit you against Emeka and his like, Ahmed and his people or against Segun and his stock. They say all manners of things, often fabrication and likes, to make the other an enemy.

But why? You may ask. Those merchants of hate do what they do largely for self-promotion, to delude members of their immediate communities and portray themselves as champions of their rights and interest, while in reality they are not. They do that so that they remain relevant as ethnic or religious champions. They are venomous persons that you should stay away from.

Even from your little experience, I am sure you appreciate the essence of diversity in human society. Just like our fingers are not of the same size, there is no way we can be the same. If it were the wish of God that you should live in this space alone, the other wouldn’t have been created. The fact that God has created you and him and her means that you are willed to live together.

Throughout history, no one human stock was able to wipe off another, no matter the extensity of the hate or the ferocity of wars. So, if you cannot do anything about the other’s existence, why then will you not learn to accommodate each other? We must!

You must come to the consciousness that no human stock is inherently good or bad. Every stock has its share of the good, the bad and the ugly. I am sure you also realise that your speaking the same language or worshipping together with someone does not necessarily mean that person will be good to you. Quite often, our saviours are persons from different backgrounds from our own.

To blame the other for your challenges is an escapist narrative often promoted by failed leaders who should otherwise be held accountable for those failings. We must resist their ploys and attempts to divide us in furtherance of their parochial agenda. There is nowhere that such divisive campaign led to anything meaningful. It won’t lead us to anywhere good too.

But some individuals have taken careers on Twitter and other social media platforms to promote hate; some have taken that as a tool for political prosperity. We must say NO to them! The government and security agencies owe us a duty to tame those hate-mongers from among us and especially you that are coming behind.

You must be allowed to carry on the good heart and brotherhood you have imbibed from your beautiful innocence and early interactions.

You, as the heirs to this country, and drivers of its tomorrow should be totally free from hate. You should resist prophets of hate. You need to be free and liberated from the virus of hate, it is the only guarantee that you will be the future we dream of.

Editorial Commentary NEWS

Development partners task Bauchi Govt on routine immunisation Development partners in Bauchi State have called on the state government to intensify efforts on routine immunisation so as to achieve interruption of poliovirus.

Malam Mustapha Umar, World Health Organisation (WHO) Representative, made the call on behalf of other partners, at an advocacy meeting with the state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Baba Tela, on Tuesday in Bauchi.

Umar said the state government should consider routine immunisation becoming a permanent activity. ”For the state to achieve the National Polio Eradication Emergency Plan (NPEEP) goal of 2013, it has to achieve interruption of poliovirus transmission and reduction of number of new polio cases to zero,” he said.

According to him, the state has been doing well in terms of awareness campaign and being proactive in terms of routine immunisation. ”That is why we are calling on the state government to sustain the effort by intensifying routine immunisation in the state,” he said.

The WHO representative pointed out

that enhancing routine immunisation and in-between round activities would increase citizens’ immunity.

The deputy governor commended the development partners for providing technical innovations to improve the quality and coverage of polio eradication activities in the state.

Tela assured the development partners of the state government’s involvement in the implementation process of their programmes.

He also added that the state government had made commitment to uplifting health care system of the state, especially the primary health care that was at the grassroots.

The deputy governor who is Chairman, Taskforce for Primary Healthcare, pledged to remain available at the activities, including meetings of the sakeholders of the primary health care.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the development partners present at the meeting with the deputy governor included, WHO, UNICEF, TCI and nPlan International, among others.

LETTERS EDITOR

TO THE

Rumpus in Librarian’s Registration Council over appointments and promotions We wish to respond to the newspaper article published by the Daily Times Limited on Saturday, 29th June, 2019 on the above subject matter and state Management’s formal position on the report.

Since the appointment of the Registrar/ CEO in August 2016, Management has not carried out recruitment or replacement of staff in the Council.

Promotion of senior staff is being carried out by a Senior staff Promotions Committee, comprising of representatives from the Federal Ministry of Education (FME), Office of Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OCSF), Office of Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), senior librarians in the sector and other selected individuals under the chairmanship of the Registrar/CEO. Before promotion exercise is carried out, the Administration Department does a shortlist of eligible staff who have spent the stipulated years required for each promotion. Management vets this list and a request is made to the Federation Ministry of Education and approvals obtained before the promotion exercise is carried out.

The Council is well guided by provisions of the Public Service Rules and has consistently complied with its provision, hence issue of giving “favoured candidates accelerated promotion” is non-existent in the Council.

The Council operates a Senior

Management Team comprising of Directors, Deputy Directors and other heads of strategies units assist the registrar in formulating policies in line with provision of Public Service Rules (PSR).

The accusation of sidelining librarians in the running of the Council is not correct, as the Registrar/CEO is himself a librarian; and in line with its newly approved structure has two mandate departments, namely (a) The Professional Services Department, (b) Planning Research and statistics Department, while the only other service department is the Department of Administration and Finance. The Registrar/ CEO’S office comprises of Legal, Audit, ICT, Public Relations and Procurement Units and they report directly to the Registrar/ CEO. On allegation bothering on the suitability or qualification of Mrs Ngozi Oboh, we wish to affirm that she has been in the service of the Council since 2012 and grew within the ranks to the position of Deputy Director.

Management wishes to conclude by stating that these allegations are totally false and urge your newspaper to feel free to contact the Council on any issue requiring clarification.

Signed: ADETIMI ADEYANJU Deputy Director, Administration For: LRCN Management

OUR POSITION

The return of History to our schools The decision of the Federal Government directing all primary and secondary schools across the country to immediately implement the teaching of History as a standalone subject from the next academic calendar is very welcome.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Sonny Echono, who disclosed the directive in Abuja recently, said the Federal Government will also ensure that all primary school teachers are trained to deliver digital literacy.

We commend the Federal Government for listening to the concerns expressed by many Nigerians and its wise decision to bring History back to schools.

No doubt, the teaching of History in our schools will go a long way in fostering nation building, national identity, patriotism and overall human development in the country.

The importance of History cannot be overemphasised. History, it should be noted, provides the students with the knowledge of the past, and its influences on the present and the future.

Now that the error of removing History from the schools’ curriculum has been corrected, the emphasis should be on the teaching of Nigerian history, including our origin, cultures, our commonalities as well as differences.

Our students should be taught about the Nok culture, the Igbo Ukwu, Benin and Ife arts among others.

These cultural landmarks are associated with the history and archaeology of our land.

They should also be taught about the history of the various people that make up Nigeria before, during and after colonialism. There is the need to teach them about slavery, colonialism, the nationalist struggles and attainment of independence. They should be taught the history of the Nigerian Civil War

and other wars fought among the various ethnic nationalities that make up the country.

There is a significant body of international academic research that shows that the role of history education, in developing a sound knowledge of the history of one’s own country and of the wider world, can contribute to progressive democratic citizenship.

In a world where we are often bombarded with a wide range of electronic information of varying degrees of intellectual rigour and quality, and in a world where there are real concerns about the phenomenon of “fake news”, it is important that our young people have the ability to evaluate source material and to develop analytical skills, which the study of history teaches us.

The progressive teaching of history can foster a sense of inclusion, a respect for diversity and also strengthen awareness of civic responsibilities in the emerging generation, now in our schools and colleges, who will help shape the future of our nation.

Also, we cannot be truly united when Nigerian history is not taught in our schools.

In fact, some of the crises of nationhood plaguing Nigeria today can be traced to lack of knowledge of Nigerian history. It is very sad that most Nigerians today think more about their ethnic nationalities and less of the country.

We call on the curriculum designers to make the teaching of History appealing and attractive to the students through the use of modern teaching aids.

For us to build a strong and virile nation, the emphasis should be on inculcating in our students the virtues of nationalism, unity and patriotism. They should love and think of Nigeria first before any other consideration.

History can be used as a veritable tool to achieve these lofty goals.

No vacuum in Buhari government, Sen. Barau declares Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Senator Barau Jibrin representing Kano North Senatorial District has said that the absence of a cabinet composed of ministers doesn’t in anyway create an administrative vacuum in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

The senator said there are permanent secretaries in each of the ministries that act in the absence of ministers pending the appointment of minsters by the federal government.

Sen. Barau made this clarification on Tuesday while answering questions on a motion he moved during plenary to call for the urgent intervention of the Senate on the pending industrial action by the Non -Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and the

Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).

He was reacting to a question on whether the absence of ministers of education and labour and productivity would not jeopardise a proposed inter- ministerial parley with the two unions and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The senator who was optimistic that the intervention was not coming too late despite the fact that the two unions had commenced a three- day warning strike, said efforts would be made to meet with the leadership of the unions alongside officials of the two ministries.

Moving the motion during plenary, Sen. Barau notified the Senate of the impending industrial action by NASU and SSANU which he said if allowed to go ahead will disrupt academic

activities in Nigerian universities.

He noted that the two bodies were contesting the exclusion of their members from the national university pension scheme and the disparity in the payment of allowances at the rate of 80 per cent to academic staff and 20 per cent to non - academic staff.

Senators Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu Central), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Ibrahim Oloriegbe ( Kwara Central) and Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central) all cautioned against allowing the industrial action to proceed at the present moment of security challenges in the country.

The Senate therefore, urged the federal government to dialogue with the two unions to assuage frayed nerves and settle their grievances amicably.

Short News Rivers PDP chairman hails S’Court ruling on Wike’s eligibility Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

The Rivers state Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Felix Obuah, has expressed delight over the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed the suit challenging Governor Nyesom Wike’s eligibility to contest the 2019 governorship election.

Chiek Obuah, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, commended the eminent jurists for rising to the occasion, stressing that they have once again dispensed justice dispassionately.

The state PDP boss also commended what he described as their wise decision and forthrightness, reiterating that Gov. Wike’s re-election was a divine order which any attempt by man to upturn would be an exercise in futility.

He said the time was rife for those still agitated over the outcome of the 2019 general elections in the state to put the elections behind them for the overall interest of the state, adding that “what God has approved, no man can reverse.”

The Rivers PDP chairman said the olive branch offered the opposition politicians in the state is a demonstration of Gov. Wike’s large heart and enjoined people of the state, irrespective of political affiliation to join the progressive train of the Wike administration to move the state forward.

Chief Obuah restated his conviction that the Wike administration has demystified governance in the state with remarkable improvement in all sectors of the economy, saying the door is wide open for good ideas that would benefit all and sundry.

CAN asks Ndigbo to defend themselves against herdsmen attacks Moses Oyediran, Enugu The South-East zone of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has raised the alarm that anarchy was looming in Nigeria if urgent measures were not taken to address the worsening security situation in the country.

CAN while backing the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, called on the people of the zone to rise up and defend themselves.

This call is coming on the heels of the murder of the daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Fasoranti.

In a statement issued by the Christian body, which was signed by the Chairman of CAN in the SouthEast, Bishop Giddy Okafor and the Secretary, Rev. Scamb Nwokolo respectively, however, welcomed the federal government’s suspension of the controversial Ruga project.

The statement formed part of the

communiqué issued by CAN after its emergency meeting held in Enugu with the organization declaring that “the federal government should not implement in any form, any programme that shall lead to anarchy in this country.

“We vehemently reject, condemn and oppose any form of forceful appropriation of individual or communal land to herdsmen or cattle nomads in the guise of executive order, act, law or federal government’s programme in Nigeria and the SouthEast in particular.

“Cattle rearing is a private business, as such the federal government should not induce crisis or create undue tension in the states of the federation, more so, when the South-East is still recovering from the havoc of the civil war and do not wish such to happen again in any form. Business is by negotiation not imposition.

“We implore the federal government for the interest of peace, unity and mutual co-existence and tolerance to totally rescind, abrogate and jettison any action or inaction or by amendment or otherwise, that shall lead to the implementation of Ruga or cattle colony, or with any other name that shall depict giving herdsmen or nomadic cattle owners right to acquire or takeover or confiscate land of individuals or indigenous communities forcefully through the apparatus of government.”

CAN therefore, urged Ndigbo not to panic regarding the threat from some northern groups led by one Abdulazeez, reiterating that “our land shall never be allowed to be taken by force by anybody under any guise.

“Let us continue to pray and watch.

Let everybody be prepared to defend themselves as directed by Ohanaeze Ndigbo.”

The Lagos state government is to benefit from the United Kingdom’s £38 million extended programme on mobile for development in Nigeria.

This is owing to the state’s socio-economic and political importance of the state as the commercial nerve centre of the country and the fifth largest economy in Africa.

The disclosure was made on Tuesday by the United Kingdom’s Minister of State for Africa at the Foreign Commonwealth Office, who also doubles as Minister of state for Department for International Development, Harriett Baldwin, during a courtesy visit to the Lagos state Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, in his Alausa office.

According to the minister, the mobile for development programme is to enable a lot of people access financial services through their mobile phones and buy things such as solar systems for their homes and businesses.

She added that owing to the significant impact of the programme on the people, the UK government is extending the programme to further affect positively the lives of other 27 million people around the world, including many in Lagos, noting that the programme is designed to absolutely impact the lives of people in the grassroots.

In addition, she said, the programme would enable market women to use the financial services in investing in solar fridges, solar freezers and something that will really help them in their homes in areas where they don’t have access to reliable electricity.

Baldwin equally, stressed that the initiative will help everyone with the ambition to ensure that they are able to buy health insurance and mobile financial services in the future, emphasising that Lagos is very often at the cutting edge of some of the investments in technology - which is why the UK government is basing its science and technology centre in Lagos.

Describing Lagos as an amazing and vibrant city, Baldwin noted that the UK government is willing to learn from some of the state’s innovation and share some of theirs.

Nasarawa assembly inaugurates committee on LG finances

The Nasarawa state House of Assembly on Tuesday set up a six-man committee to investigate the finances of the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs following the non-payment of staff salary for the month of June and alleged unnecessary deductions from council funds.

The Speaker, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, made this known while constituting the committee after Danladi Jatau (PDP/ Kokona West) raised the issue under matters of public interest at plenary on Tuesday in Lafia.

He said it was disheartening that up till now, the June salary of local government workers was yet to be paid, saying that “what is happening in the local government is sad and unfortunate; why is it that 16 days after, June salary of the local government staff has not been paid?

“We cannot fold our hands to see our brothers and sisters, who are working at the local government level suffer. I appreciate the Minority Leader, Danladi Jatau, for raising the matter and other members for contributing positively to it.

“It is on this note that I will set up a six-man committee to include Alhaji Mohammed Alkali of Lafia North Constituency as the chairman, and Ego Maikeffi, the clerk of the House to serve as secretary of the committee.”

The speaker named Danladi Jatau (PDP/Kokona West), Ibrahim Muluku (APC/Nassarawa Eggon East) and John Osewu (PDP/Doma South) as members.

Other members of the committee include Daniel Ogazi (APC/Kokona East) and Abdulaziz Danladi (Keffi East).

The speaker directed the committee to submit their report on July 22, assuring that the House would continue to ensure that the right things were done in the best interest of the state and for the overall development of the country.

CLO warns politicians against heating up polity in A’Ibom Isaac Job, Uyo

The Akwa Ibom state chapter of the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) on Tuesday cautioned political parties and politicians in the state against making utterances capable of inflaming the polity and breaching the already existing peace.

It stated that the clamour for the resignation of the Chairman of the National and State House of Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal in Akwa Ibom state, Justice Jennifer Ijohor, by the All Progressive Congress (APC) is coming too late and capable of fuelling political tensions in the state.

The state APC Chairman, Ini Okopido had at a press conference last weekend, called for the resignation of Justice Ijohor, on grounds

that she would not be objective in her judgement on petitions before the tribunal.

Okopido said as wife to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Benue state, Anthony Ijohor (SAN) under a PDP administration, there will be a conflict of interest in the discharge of her duties.

Reacting to the comments, Chairman of the CLO, Franklin Isong, in a statement in Uyo, advised political parties and politicians in the state to allow the tribunal free hand to carry out it functions.

He said any politician not satisfied with the judgement delivered by the tribunal can thereafter, seek redress in a higher court of law.

“It is our considered view that the call for the resignation of the tribunal chairman by the APC is coming too late as it can heat up the polity and degenerate into political

tension in the state.

“Our concern is that the way and manner political parties and politicians are approaching their matters before the tribunal, if not checked, can cause avoidable political crisis.

“The CLO wishes to advise that all parties that have matters before the tribunal to allow the tribunal to adjudicate on the matters and anyone that is not satisfied with the tribunal’s judgement at the end of the day, still has a right within the law to go on appeal to a higher court, instead of resorting to public statements that can politicise the judiciary and bring its image to disrepute,” it advised.

Isong also advised media practitioners in the state to remain unbiased in their coverage of the sittings and proceedings of the election petition tribunal in the state.

The Ilorin Zonal Office of

During the proceedings, Babatunde Shittu, one of the prosecution’s star witnesses told Justice Abdulgafar that following the petitioner’s allegation that Stanbic IBTC illegally withdrew the sum of N540,000 from his account, the EFCC invited the petitioner, who adopted his petition on May 26, 2019.

“I led a team of operatives to Stanbic IBTC. The bank officials brought the complainant’s statement of account which analysis revealed that the deducted money was transferred into a Bet9ja’s account,” Shittu said.

According to the witness, “We sent the information to Bet9ja and they gave us the details of their customer who has the account

with them which happened to be the name of the defendant, Lanre.

We later sent a memo to our Lagos office to help locate and arrest the accused person. He was arrested and shown the petition and he denied the allegations.

During our investigations, we discovered that N540,000 (Five Hundred and Forty Thousand Naira) was credited into his Bet9ja’s account. He moved N130,000 (One Hundred and Thirty Thousand Naira) into his FCMB account immediately.

We equally discovered that he transferred the money from his friend’s account.

“We also discovered his friend (the petitioner) gave him his phone to access FaceBook and along the line, he had accessed his pin and withdrew his money.”

Justice Abdulgafar adjourned the matter to July 18, 2019 for further hearing.

she alleged that Fatoyinbo, who was her pastor, allegedly raped her in her father’s apartment when she was 17 and had sex with her on other occasions.

The news was greeted with widespread condemnation and a protest was staged in front of COZA churches in Abuja and Lagos.

These prompted Fatoyinbo to step down as the senior pastor of the church.

He later released a statement, denying the allegation and vowing to challenge his accusers in court.

The Abuja CAN Chairman, Rev. Jonah Samson and its North central counterpart, Rev. Israel Akanji, addressed COZA congregation last Sunday in Abuja.

Refuting the claimed support for Fatoyinbo, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, the Special Assistant (Media and Communications) to CAN President Samson Ayokunle, told Journalists on Tuesday that the church leaders were not there to support the alleged crime.

He added: “What happened is this: they did not support the pastor of COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo. The Chairman of CAN Abuja, Reverend Jonah Samson and CAN Chairman for North central, Reverend Israel Akanji, who addressed the congregation, did not pledge their support; they did not endorse Fatoyinbo.

“I want you to go to COZA video and listen to it. These leaders told them that COZA is located within our jurisdiction.

‘That is why we came here to tell you that we are praying for your pastor and members of the church.’ That’s what they said. They did not say Fatoyinbo committed the crime or he did not do it.

They did not say that Fatoyinbo is guilty or not. That issue did not come up,” he said.

A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja has sentenced a former Chief Accountant of Vanguard Newspapers, Bhadmus Abiodun, to seven years imprisonment for fraud.

He was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on an eight-count charge of conspiracy, forgery and stealing of about N3.1million belonging to his employer.

The court also sentenced former circulation representative of Vanguard newspaper, Benin Office, Joseph Ejike Ezeobi, to three years imprisonment over his involvement in stealing and forgery.

In his judgment, Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye held that the prosecution has proved its case against Abiodun and Ezeobi beyond reasonable doubt and sentenced them to various prison terms without an option of fines.

Prosecution counsel, Abba Mohammed, informed the court that Abiodun committed the offence in collaboration with the Vanguard Media Representative for Onitsha, Samuel Ogbole between January 9, 2006 and January 4, 2008.

But Ogbole was said to have absconded when bail was granted to the duo by the court after their arraignment. He is still at large.

Mohammed further informed the court that the convict and his accomplice had on various dates, illegally converted N400, 000, N2.5million and N120, 000 belonging to the complainant, Vanguard.

Mohammed said, “On January 16, 2007, the duo conspired to and forged a Wema Bank deposit slip with No. 7125699 purporting to be the value of N225, 165.

“On May 30, 2007, the men conspired and forge a Wema Bank deposit slip with No. 3270712 purporting to be the value of N256, 850”.

According to Mohammed, the offences are contrary to Sections 390 (7), 467 (2)(i) and 516 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State 2003.

Justice Ipaye held that the money Biodun and Ogbole kept for themselves belongs to Vanguard newspaper.

The judge said, “The defendant is hereby sentenced to seven years in prison on count one. He is sentenced to seven years in prison each for counts two to eight.”

The judge however said that the prison terms for counts two to eight are to run concurrently.

Fidelity Bank organises campus activation, targets 3,000 new account holders Motolani Oseni As part of its desire to continue promoting financial literacy, Fidelity Bank has organised a campus activation programme at Federal College of Education (Technical), Yaba, Lagos.

The bank organised the activation programme on Monday in Lagos with a focus to bring on board 3,000 new account holders.

Speaking at the event, Mr Richard Madiebo, the Divisional Head, Retail Banking at the bank, said the campus activation was a platform through which the bank engaged students during major academic events such as matriculation, students week, convocation and others.

Represented by Mr Johnson Akaolisa, Flex Producer Manager at the bank, Madiebo said that part of objectives of the campus activation was to lecture students on the importance of financial literacy.

According to him, the bank is creating accounts for those that do not have accounts and educating students with accounts and the need to bank with Fidelity.

“We are trying to bring these students to the formal sector because most of them don’t have an account; part of the objectives of these campus activation is to lecture them on the importance of financial literacy.

“So, those that do not have account, we open account for them and those that have accounts, we lecture them on why they should bank with Fidelity because we are here to provide solutions to their financial needs”, he said.

Madiebo said this was not the first time of the bank would come to the college to organise the campus activation, saying that about 20 per cent of the students already maintained account with the bank.

Madiebo explained that most of the accounts created were being operated digitally, noting that the bank had also given consumer loans to some members of staff of the college.

“Before now, our team usually visits the college because we have students who maintain accounts with Fidelity Bank.

“But the campus activation is geared at educating students about the various digital products available in Fidelity Bank and encouraging easy adoption of these channels in a fun and exciting manner.

“Once an individual has a face and can operate the mobile phone, such a person can open either current or savings account with any amount using the activation code of *770#.

“For today, we are targeting 3,000 students which we have started to achieve.

Presently, we have had close to 500 students who have opened new accounts.

“Meanwhile, our target is not only the students, but the lecturers. We also want to meet the needs of the lecturers because some of them want consumer loans”, he said.

Madiebo explained the functions of the “Fidelity Flex Account” designed for undergraduates, saying the account, which could be opened with any amount, was aimed at bringing undergraduates to the formal sector.

“Your organisation is essentially a regulatory outfit, recently I had to make a statement that it seems the agency is soft on the operators and hard on customers for obvious reasons.

“How can we make progress in such a situation, it shouldn’t be about profit, but it should be about service to Nigerians.

time around to make sure you bring the full wrath of the law to respond to those people that are actually making things difficult for Nigerians’’, Wabba said On his part, NERC Commissioner, Consumers Affairs, Mr Moses Arigu, pledged that the Commission will closely monitor the accelerated deployment of meters through MAP initiative, it is also worthy of note that the scheme is designed to tackle issues but not limited to adherence to the timeline for replacement of faulty meters, timely metering of new customers and elimination of bulk billing and arbitrary billings.

While explaining that not all

unmetered customers would be metered at the same time through MAP, he warned the DisCos against arbitrarily billing those yet to be metered.

“In the MAP regulation, the commission is to come out with an order on Capping of Estimated Billing, which when finalised is to be effective a few months after the metering procurement the process through the MAP, and this began on May 1.

“Thus, the proposed order is expected to be a catalyst for the Distribution Companies (DisCos) to accelerate or fast-track deployment of meters to unmetered customers”, Arigu said.

$3bn annual capital flight repatriated out of Nigeria, says AON Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has said that not less than $3 billion capital flight repatriated out of the country annually, while calling on the federal government to increase support for indigenous carriers.

This call for supports comes just as the AON listed stiff competition; sheer regulatory technicalities; unfair slot allocation, exorbitant airport charges; levies and fees and other constraints as part of the reasons why Nigerian carriers fail to deliver on intercontinental routes.

The AON said unless government supports Nigerian carriers, it would be difficult for them to do well on international routes because of the intrigues of international aero - politics; which it said is 85 per cent of the role expected of government.

In an interview, the Executive Chairman, Captain Nogie Meggison said many Nigerian fails on intercontinental routes ostensibly due to a myriad of factors not limited to insufficient support from

the government.

Urging President Muhammadu Buhari to support indigenous carriers, including Air Peace, which recently launched flight on the Lagos/ Sharjah / Dubai, Meggison said the government should bring its full weight of political machinery and influence to effectively protect the airline from all forms of aero - politics.

He said support for Nigerian carriers will bring about more travel choices; affordable fares; increased growth of the economy; transfer of technology as well as a reduction in capital flight.

AON Chairman said the issue of Aero Politics has been the bane of operators including Bellview Airlines that was frustrated out of the India market.

Meggison said: “Arik Air that was given a distant parking bay in Dubai at the far end of the terminal; Medview who were frustrated out of the London route by sheer regulatory technicalities and so-called safety deficiencies, unfair slot allocation, exorbitant airport charges, levies and fees, and all forms of excuses.

“These were mainly to discredit the airline as a means of edging them out

of the route in order to get rid of the competition the carrier posed to their own local operators on the route and to protect their own.

“We call on the Federal Government not to leave Air Peace but to stand tall with Nigerian Airlines and bring the full weight of its political machinery and influence behind Air Peace and effectively protect the airline from all forms of Aero Politics and regulatory biases that may arise during the course of the airline’s operations into various international destinations”, he said.

He also called on the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to urgently provide Air Peace with prominent space for its Private Lounge on the airside at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) as evidence of its being a Nigerian Flag Carrier base similar to what obtains in Frankfort with Lufthansa; Heathrow with British Airways; and Dubai with Emirates.

Meggison said,” The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) would like to congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Ministry of

Transport (Aviation) for moving the Nigerian aviation sector to the next level by assisting Air Peace to start international flights into Dubai on Friday, July 5, 2019.

“While we thank the Federal Government for its role in making this feat possible, it is instructive to note that this next level requires strong government support as Air Peace has become one of the pillars to the building of our nation’s economy.

“Air Peace is Nigeria’s private airlines’ fourth attempt into the international market and it would be recalled that many of the airlines that went before them collapsed due mainly to aero politics which is 85 per cent the role of government to play. As we know foreign carriers dominate 100 per cent of the Nigerian sky with capital flight of about three billion dollars.

“AON would therefore like to call on the Federal Government to put its full weight behind Air Peace and give the carrier all the support it requires to succeed in the route in the face of stiff competition and aero politics which the carrier will face in the near future.”

APCON to partner IAA on global advertising standards Godwin Anyebe The Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) has embarked on a strategic move towards realigning its mutual relationships with the International Advertising Association (IAA) with a view to promoting and supporting Nigeria’s advertising industry on a global scale.

Specifically, the Council said it was deploying strategic machinery, working through organs of the Nigerian chapter of the global advertising body, alongside similar agencies and bodies with membership cutting across advertising and marketing communications entities which

encourage and promotes self-regulation.

Acting Registrar/CEO of the Council, Mrs Ijedi Iyoha, who made this disclosure recently in Lagos said that attaining a self-regulatory environment was central the Council’s administrative policy, and to that extent, every sectoral group in Nigeria’s advertising the industry was constantly being encouraged to practice self-regulation.

The APCON boss who observed that the Council had recorded great achievements in regulating Nigeria’s advertising industry noted, however, that the council was facing major challenges in its operations including among other things, the non – constitution of its governing council, inadequate funding

and lack of physical presence in every state of the federation.

“We have passed the stage of looking at possibilities. Every sectoral group in the advertising industry practices selfregulation and that includes AAAN, OAAN, BON, ADVAN, MIPAN etc. It is easier to communicate with these bodies and achieve positive results without much ado.

“These bodies also recognise their positions and roles in the industry. They make the most meaningful contributions on how best to develop and strengthen Nigeria advertising industry to make it competitive with what is obtainable in other parts of the world,” she explained.

She added that the Council’s decision to

partner with State signage and advertising Agencies were deliberate and necessary for the good of the industry. She, therefore, advised every practising as well as all intending advertising practitioners to continually adhere to total compliance to the code of ethics of advertising, while also encouraging them to pursue the goal of fulfilment of the basic requirements under the corporate licensing regime.

“Nigeria advertising industry is an interesting profession to explore legitimately. To those who aspire to become involved in the advertising business, the industry is convivial albeit not for the indolent. Dedication, competence, diligence and industry are its chief characteristics”, she stressed.

Group to PDP: Buhari is doing well in dealing with security challenges, hold your advice Stories by Patrick Okohue Goje

Re-open cases against Goje, Obono-Obla or forget anti-corruption fight – CACOL tells Buhari The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) has said that unless the corruption trial of former Gombe State governor, Senator Danjuma Goje, alleged to have sapped his state dry while he served as governor and Mr. Obono Obla, erstwhile Chairman of the Special Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property who was alleged to have falsified his West African Secondary School Leaving Certificate, WASSCE are reopened and diligently prosecuted, the President Muhammadu Buhari led government cannot claim to be sincerely fighting the war on corruption.

CACOL was reacting to the statement by the Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu that corruption is Nigeria’s greatest problem.

In a statement released by the Media and Publications Officer, Odofin Toyin, on behalf of its Executive chairman, Debo Adeniran, the group called on the two main anti-graft agencies, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the EFCC to be more total and pragmatic in its fight against corruption to root the ogre of corruption completely out of the country.

Stating that, “We would recollect the speech delivered on behalf of the EFCC Acting Chairman last week Thursday at the commencement of the 2019 African Union Anti-Corruption Day Road Walk in Lagos, whereby he clearly underpinned Nigeria’s nay Africa’s perennial underdevelopment, backwardness and the resultant instability and insecurity to corruption.

“In as much as we clearly align with the anti-graft agency’s tsar in his conclusion that corruption was solely responsible for the country’s angst over social upheavals, economic frustration borne out of chronic unemployment, lack of social infrastructure, etc., as monies meant to provide all these facilities and set the country on a path of progress and development are willfully syphoned and expropriated by those put at the helms of power.

“It is in realisation of the unimaginable damage and social destruction that grand corruption could actually cause that some countries like China and Pakistan has deemed it fit to introduce

death penalty against official corruption for any of its government official to serve as a worthy deterrent.

“This has, no doubt, discouraged grand corruption even if it has not succeeded in totaling eliminating it. Though, we may not fully subscribe to death penalty as a human rights’ anti-corruption organization for its obvious violation of citizens’ rights’ to life, the main issue is that the law against corruption must be seen to be absolutely effective against all known violators, no matter how highly placed the culprits are.

“This is where we think the current government’s fight against corruption must be reviewed towards better effectiveness to make any tangible impact.

“The fight against official heist under the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has been just same way of its predecessors since 1999 in terms of scope and width of operations and too discriminatory to achieve the ultimate goal of dissuading our office holders from their seeming pathological attachment to corruptive acts.

“This is without any prejudice to the courage and greater resolve so far shown by this government in tackling the menace like the Single Treasury Account (TSA), Whistleblower policy, etc., which are no doubt, very bold and unprecedented steps towards stemming the tide of corruption.”

While bemoaning the way the cases against Obono Obla, Goje, who was under trial for multiple looting of his state, but was asked to step down from contesting for the seat of Senate President as a ‘swap’ for official pardon for looting his state dry were handled, CACOL said, “It is our firm belief that corruption finds a safe haven under such discriminatory and selective atmosphere.

“This is why we have always advocated that for the fight against corruption to make desired impact and achieve our collective aim, the two main anti-graft agencies, the ICPC and EFCC must be completely insulated and divorced from any official control and manipulations, latent or crystal clear. Anything short of this could only be tantamount to psychedelic hibernation, no matter how well-intentioned the government seems to be.”

Despite the numerous outcry over the poor state of security in the nation, leading to the killing of many innocent Nigerians including the recent murder of the daughter of the leader of the pan-Yoruba social political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasonranti, a pro President Muhammadu Buhari group, Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has given thumbs up for the President in his effort to deal with the security challenges in the nation.

The group said, President Muhammadu Buhari has shown a strong capacity for stemming the tide of insecurity in the country and does not need any help or assistance that he does not already have, contrary to the picture painted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its supporters.

According to the BMO in a statement in Abuja, the President has demonstrated this capability in several flashpoints; from Benue to Taraba, from Niger Delta to Zamfara and from South-East to Kaduna and Abuja.

In the statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, the BMO said that PDP’s criticism and cynicism are mere rabble-rousing.

“In any event, many of the issues the administration is gradually

sorting out have their roots in the PDP years.

“For some time now, we have seen opposition elements led by PDP Chairman Uche Secondus shedding crocodile tears over acts of insecurity in some parts of the country, but these same individuals look elsewhere when security agencies record successes in internal security operations.

“We know they are always jubilant whenever there are reports of criminal activities, but it is disingenuous for anyone to say there have not been concrete actions to stem the tide of criminality in any part of the country.

“There is no country in the world that is absolutely crime-free, which is not to say we are oblivious of lingering security challenges in some parts of the country.

However, we are also aware of the strides made by security agencies in recent years.

“The Niger-Delta is no longer a hotbed of crisis which had once had a serious adverse impact on the mainstay of the Nigerian economy; blood-letting in Benue State is now history, the SouthEast has been relatively free of the disruptive activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Abuja-Kaduna highway which was once described as one of the most dangerous roads in the country is now better secured and banditry in Zamfara State

has been reduced considerably.

Boko Haram insurgents have been largely pushed to the fringes of the Lake Chad.”

BMO also said it wondered what PDP Chairman Uche Secondus was thinking when he suggested that President Buhari should seek help across party lines to end the spate of insecurity in the country.

“Is he by any chance suggesting that his party has the magic wand to end the security situation, the same party under whose watch all the problems started? We are also not unmindful of a clear threat by the PDP’s Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in the runup to the election, that ‘deadly herdsmen attacks will continue if Buhari wins’.

“This seemed like a mere impossible prediction especially at a time of a lull in so-called herdsmen attacks in the MiddleBelt. And we are wondering, as the saying goes in many Nigerian cultures, ‘the witch cried yesterday and the child died today, who does not know that it is the witch that killed the child.’

“We know that power is like oxygen to PDP elements and they are always on the lookout for opportunities, but we maintain that the PDP Nigerians know so well has no moral standing to offer any advice on good governance or security,” the pro-Buhari group said.

APC tackles Oyo governor, Makinde, says he must explain source of his N48bn wealth The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged the state governor, Seyi Makinde, to explain the source of his N48 billion asset made public on Monday.

The state chairman of the party, Chief Akin Oke, said this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Iseyin on Tuesday.

He said, “I don’t think I want to make comment on the issue since I have no idea, but it raises a number of issues. He just declared what he has, how he came about the asset is not there,” Oke said.

The chairman said it would be too early to access the performance of the governor who have spent just a few days in office.

“Going by my experience and exposure, I think it is too early to

Makinde

honestly access a governor just after few days in office, I will rather wait till after 100 days or even after 6 months.

“To start accessing people after 6 weeks in office will be so unfair if one want to be honest to his conscience,” he added.

The governor, who visited the Oyo State office of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in Ibadan to receive a copy of the asset declaration form, said that his decision to make the assets public was in fulfillment of a personal promise he made during the elections.

Details of the assets as contained in the CCB 1 with the name Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, which was declared at the High Court of Oyo State, on May 28, 2019, indicated that the governor is worth over N48bn.

Crisis: PLASU VC threatens to rusticate unruly students

The Vice Chancellor of Plateau State University, Bokkos, Prof. Yohana Izam, on Tuesday, threatened to rusticate any recalcitrant/undisciplined student found to be causing crisis on the institution’s campus.

Izam made the threat in his office during a courtesy call on him by chairmen of Langtang North and South local governments, Messrs Amos Nanloh Kparnim and Minchak Samson-Rims ,respectively.

Izam said that a situation where students who were staying off campus would invade their colleagues’ hostels and brew crisis “will no longer be tolerated by the university management”.

He emphasised the need for students of the university living off campus

to conduct themselves at all times in accordance with the rules and regulations of the institution.

“As students, you should know that degrees can only be awarded based on your proven academic excellence as well as character.

“The unfortunate incident of phone snatching which resulted into the breaking of rooms and injuring of unsuspecting students staying on campus last week by criminal elements is totally unacceptable.

“The management, with all seriousness, has began investigating into the incident in liaison with security operatives to get to the roots of the matter and deal with the students involved in it, ” the vice chancellor said.

He warned that any student found

to be involved “in this uncivil act will be punished in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the conduct of students as stipulated in the University’s students Handbook and other extant laws.”

Earlier, Nanloh-Kparnim, Chairman of Langtang North Local Government, said, “as stakeholders, we are in the University on a fact finding mission to ascertain the actual situation of things in the light of reports about altercations among students groups on campus.”

Lagos: 127 candidates to write entrance exam in CBT Esther Taiwo About 127 registered candidates seeking admission into the Lagos State Model Colleges/Upgraded Secondary Schools will be writing the entrance examination via Computer Based Test, known as CBT. Addressing newsmen after an inspection tour of the Basic Examination Certificate Examination, BECE / Computer Based Test Examination centres, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Olatokunboh Adeleye, said entrance examination into Model Colleges has two papers, which are English, including General questions and Mathematics taken for two hours each, adding that the examination is in two versions: Computer Based Test (CBT) which will be taken by 127 registered students and Paper Pencil Test (PPT) which sits about 10,873 at the 43 designated centers across the state.

The Permanent Secretary expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise and assured that results would be released in good time to enable successful candidates resume into their respective schools and classes at

16

the beginning of the new academic session in September, 2019.

She said requirements for admission into Model Colleges and Upgraded Schools will be strictly based on candidates’ performance and vacancies in schools.

Adeleye, who led a monitoring team to assess the conduct of the Examination which took place simultaneously in all the six Education Districts of the state, urged parents/guardians to prepare their wards effectively for the examinations as well as ensure punctuality at their various venues.

It would be recalled that 185,000 students across Lagos State are sitting for this year’s Basic Examination Certificate Examination (BECE) for JS3 Students and Entrance Examinations into State Model Colleges and Upgraded Schools for the 2019/2020 Academic session which will run from Monday, 15th – Saturday, 27th July, 2019.

In the words of the Permanent Secretary, “JS3 students writing the BECE Examinations will be tested in nine compulsory subjects and one optional subject (Arabic). The subjects include English Studies, Mathematics, Basic Science and Technology, Religion and National Value, French Language, Business Studies, Cultural and Creative Arts,

National Languages (Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa) and Pre Vocational Studies” Recall that the Lagos State Ministry of Education shifted the dates for the examinations in a bid to replace the manual registration with e-Registration of candidates so as to ensure a hitch-free and transparent process, devoid of malpractices.

Meanwhile, the Director and Registrar of Lagos State Examination Board, Dr. Oluwafemi Hassan, said that Lagos State is moving towards being at par with other nations in line with Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Addressing a group of journalists at the opening ceremony of the 2019 CBT Version for admission of candidates held at the Lagos State Examinations Board’s Conference Room Iyana Ipaja, Hassan said that the introduction of CBT at the elementary stage will also reduce examination malpractice to the barest minimum.

“Examination malpractice is completely impossible because aside from the candidates being watched, the questions have been set randomly so also the answers to ensure that even when two candidates sit together they cannot copy from each other”, he said.

He said the importance of the CBT screening is to announce to the

world that Lagos State is ready to take the Bull by the Horn because the world is now in computer age as everything is done with the aid of computer.

“Things have changed drastically, everywhere in the world now talks of Information Communication Technology, ICT so we don’t want to be left behind. What we want to do is to make pupils in Lagos public schools see and be able to do examinations in an advanced way, using the computer which is referred to as , Computer Based Test, CBT”, he said.

Explaining further, Hassan said: “We want to create awareness, we want to make it known in Nigeria that the CBT exam is a good thing that’s why we have set the CBT process up in other centers, soon the candidates can do their examinations in other centers instead of coming all the way to the Board”.

He said the Board has also made it possible for disabled candidates as well to be able to write the Computer Based Test examination.

“Like the crippled and other pupils living with one disability or the other, even deaf and dumb as well. Certain set of skilled people will give them the instructions on how to do the exams and it will be perfect”, he said.

Government officials in-charge of sexuality have been tasked to be bold enough to implement the law on sexuality in order to checkmate the spread of sexual abuse.

Prof. Bidemi Idowu, the 69th inaugural lecturer of the Lagos State University, LASU, said this while delivering the lecture titled “Sexuality: The Savour, the Caution, the Pleasure” at the University Main Auditorium, Ojo, on Tuesday.

She also added that there should be policy formulation on sexuality to further strengthen the law on child abuse.

The Don noted that although sexuality seems complex, it is an ordained phenomenon to be enjoyed.

She said this is because for sex to be effective, it needs to include opportunities for young people to develop certain skills, as it could be difficult for them to act based on known information.

The skills young people develop as a part of sex education are linked to more general life skills and they include the following: Being able to communicate with, listen to, negotiate with others as well as asking for and identifying sources of help and advice are useful life- skills which can be to sexual relationships; Being able to recognise pressures from other people and to resist them, dealing with and challenging prejudice; Being able to seek help from adults- including parents and professionals- through the family, community and health and welfare services.

According to her sex education that works also helps equip young people with the skills to be able to differentiate between accurate and inaccurate information, and to discuss a range of moral and social issues and perspectives on sex and sexuality, including different cultural attitudes and sensitive issues like sexuality, abortion and contraception.

“Government should also make cervical cancer screening more affordable and accessible to young female adults as this will guarantee sexual wellbeing”, she added, while suggesting that the Counseling Unit of the University should be expanded beyond career and academic matters to include issues encompassing family life and sexuality.

Prof Idowu said it is important that individuals take responsibilities for their health and not ascribe complex factors to ill health stressing that the issue of sexuality should be made a priority among staff and students in the University as it does not concern only rape but is all encompassing and would be an exceptional way to develop life skills in students.

“It is pertinent to note that the return of cultural and moral values of the 50s, 60s, 70s and even of the 80s in relation to sexuality is important. As vital as the institution of marriage is, it requires adequate preparation and should be subjected to proper counseling and training as we do when entering a new employment”, she said.

According to the Professor of Health Education at the department of Human Kinetics, her research efforts over the years have revealed that there are still some myths and misconceptions about sexuality, saying however, sexuality is pleasant to savour but requires some cautions before the pleasure could be derived.

She described sexuality orientation as a combination of emotional, romantic, sexual or affectionate attraction to another person, in other words, it is about who you are attracted to; fall in love with; and want to live your life with.

Nduka Obaigbena at 60: Reading the heart of his art

Special Tribute

By Aliu Akoshile

Only few Nigerians have earned a national acclaim with their first names. Those who are old enough still will remember the late Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Ramat Mohammed. He was popularly known by his first name, Murtala. Even after he was assassinated in an abortive military coup in 1976, the name Murtala has remained glued to our memory.

In that category is the late ebullient human-rights lawyer, Chief Fawehinmi. His first name, Gani, commanded a cult of followers across Nigeria.

As a matter of novelty, a mere mention of Gani during the military era was like a call to revolution. Gani’s name alone, without dramatic pomp around his physical presence, usually evoked anti-military sloganeering among the teeming students population in Nigeria. The same can also be said of the Afro beat maestro and abami eda (the weird human), Anikulapo-Kuti. In fact, calling him by any name other than Fela, his first name, could attract a severe sanction at his Kalakuta Republic musical concave in Lagos.

Of recent, few other Nigerians have earned this premium first name recognition, even on a global scale. For instance, everyone seems to know Aliko whose surname, Dangote, has become the enviable signature of a relentlessly expanding pan-African manufacturing conglomerate. Just as Aliko, Tony is another first name that is commonly associated with Elumelu, the visionary apostle of Africapitalism who is executing a marshal plan to develop 10,000 young entrepreneurs across the African continent.

In the media circles, and among the super elites in Nigeria, the name Nduka is a common decimal. Friends and associates also sometimes calls him the Duke or Prince. That depends on how convivial the mood around him was. But for me, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, the maverick publisher of

THISDAY titles and proud promoter of the ARISE TV network, has no dull moment.

Ever smiling and cheerful, Nduka is a colossus by his deeds and frame, and by the capacious depth of his disruptively creative mind. His presence anywhere cannot but be noticed, felt and, indeed, cherished. Like him or not, Nduka, the Duke, has got name recognition even on the streets of capital cities in Africa!

I recall that ten years ago, we took the ambitious decision to invite Winnie Mandela to speak at the annual DAILY TRUST dialogue slated for January 2010. To formalize the invite, Malam Kabiru Yusuf, then Chairman/CEO, and I decided to visit the renowned antiapartheid women leader in her Soweto home. We were actually in South Africa for the annual retreat of the newspaper’s Board of Directors. We decided to use a stone to kill two birds! Done with the retreat in Johannesburg we took a luxury cab and headed 24 kms to Soweto, a predominant black ghetto that had played indelible roles in the bloody struggle for freedom in South Africa. As curious journalists, we engaged the cab driver, Mr. Joshua, in a chit-chat.

Being himself garrulous, Joshua wanted to know a bit more about us, hence the conversation dovetailed to our national identity.

Upon realizing we were Nigerians, Joshua suddenly became so lively, and asked us rather enchantingly: “Do you know the Duke? Before we could process the question he had added, “Yeah, the Duke!”, with an air of certainty that suggested we ought to know the only Duke in a nation of 180 million people. Of course, the Duke he meant can only be Nduka who, at that time, I think, had experimented with the South Africa edition of ThisDay newspaper. What I found very instructive is that a cab man, Joshua, in far away South Africa has got quite positive things to say about the

generosity of Nduka. To prove that he knew the man, Joshua told us, for effect, that the Duke usually “painted the town red” whenever he was in J’burg! I’m not sure Kabiru had shared this story with Nduka before now.

I didn’t get to meet Nduka at the early stage of my journalism career. Actually when he became the publisher of ThisWeek magazine in 1986, I was on internship as a cub reporter in the DAILY TIMES group, learning at the feat of Mr. Achike Chucks Okafor, the SUNDAY TIMES editor, and under the overall tutelage of Malam Farouk Mohammed, then editor of the DAILY TIMES. Even at that time, every discerning journalist was fascinated with the unique design and exciting layout of Nduka’s ThisWeek, not to describe it’s exhilarating print quality. The rumour then was that the all-gloss magazine was being printed in London. But if it were true, and everything suggested it was, then that singular bold step says a lot about Nduka’s taste for quality and obsession for excellence in whatever he does. I believe it was the sheer manifestation of this particular gusto that earned Nduka the Nigeria representative of the supplement sections for the TIME and Newsweek, two reputable international news magazines, way back in the mid 1980s.

Now seen at a closer range, Nduka came across as a hyperextrovert who occasionally displays the sartorial grace of a Prince that he is. In barely three decades, he has taken entrepreneurial journalism, or indeed journalism business, to its apogee, and arguably made a huge success of it, baring shortcomings that are human.

My first direct interaction with Nduka was on the platform of Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPAN, around 2011.

Then I represented DAILY TRUST at NPAN meetings held usually at the association’s

Nduka Obaigbena

Maryland secretariat and chaired by its President, Chief Ajibola Ogunsola, a principled statesman who was then Chairman of The PUNCH. We became friends and the interactions blossomed when Nduka assumed the Presidency of NPAN. From then on, most meetings were held at his modest home in Ikoyi where he hosted members to sumptuous lunch, and even offered “special water” to those who cared less for ordinary water and soft drinks!

Ever since then, Nduka has chosen to call me the Ambassador. And I hope he would one day release the posting and letter of credence to give effect to that appellation. Our relationship was further cemented when his THISDAY and DAILY TRUST engaged in business relationships that fell under my direct briefs as the head of revenue income in DAILY TRUST. I am aware that Muslims elites in Nigeria are deeply suspicious of some media organizations that they accused of alleged editorial bias and subjective framing of Islam and Muslims. A media research in this regard may validate the hypothesis which can be attributed to ownership influence and the gatekeepers’ level of tolerance. But the issue is, I have not come across any of such allegations being leveled at THISDAY titles. This speaks volume of Nduka’s broad mindedness, and his exceptional display of fairness in dealing with all manners of people irrespective of the diversity of tongues and tribes.

That’s why when journalists gossip about employers who cannot stand the sight of a staff wearing a nice (perhaps

cheap) new dress and shoes, no one ever mentioned Nduka. In the contrary, and based on testimonials from some of his First Eleven team, Nduka cherishes such decent and smart dressing. Little wonder he is said to be happy gifting cars to his staff. The testimonials by Waziri Adio and Simon Kolawole, two of Nduka’s legion of accomplished ex-staff, is very instructive.

Yet, for those who may ask the cynical question, what do you expect his loyal staff to say?, I have heard the testimonials of reliable newspaper vendors in Abuja and Lagos. They are not Nduka’s staff.

According to the accounts, the “THISDAY publisher” sometimes asked them to pocket the entire sales return of a day’s newspaper when he had reasons to make them happy.

As Mr Nduka Obaigbena turned 60 on July 14, he remains a personification of thought leadership in its ramifications.

And what defines leadership if not the ability to identify, attract, and retain talents; the capacity to visualize an eldorado, the emotional intelligence to inspire a team and motivate them to focus on the target till a mission is accomplished.

Leaders, such as Nduka Obiagbena, who have very strong personal aura and remarkably enthralling human relations also have the deft ability to re-attract lost talents, and retain them. Here is wishing Prince Nduka, the Duke of journalism and media entrepreneurship, good health and greater fulfillment of his insatiable appetite for excellence.

Akoshile is the Managing Director/ Editor-in-Chief of the DAILY TIMES.
