“The polarising role of the Northern Elders Forum and all those other groups dabbling

“They should not be allowed to mislead anyone, least of all the Fulani herders.

Senate confirms Muhammad as substantive CJN

CJN admits corruption in judiciary, urges legislative interventions in reformation Reels out impediments to judicial independence

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

His confirmation came after about a 90 minutes screening exercise by senators at plenary.

He pronounced the projection of the judiciary to greater heights as his priority and during the exercise, Justice Muhammad told the Senate that financial autonomy was part of the impediments facing the judiciary and sought the intervention of the legislature in reforming the system through amendments of some statutes and laws.

Justice Muhammad said the judiciary is always at the mercy of the other arms especially the executive.

He said: “The judiciary is at the mercy of what the executive gives us. We will never go cap in hand begging for anything because I don’t want anybody to come to me a begging. The judiciary will not go a begging.

“We are not asking for anything. Let us be given what is due to us. But, when we have the opportunity like the one you

provide for me today, I will bring to the fore some of the problems causing stumbling block to the judiciary.

“As time goes on we may be coming to you to tell the legislature the problems we have.

We will bring proposals for the amendment of some of our laws.”

He, therefore, called on the National Assembly to help strengthen the judiciary by amending existing laws to create room for a vibrant judicial system.

Reacting to an observation raised by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central) that the corruption perception index of the judiciary in Nigeria is not encouraging, the chief justice admitted element of corruption in the judicial arm.

Justice Muhammad said that “corruption has become part of our system and the judiciary is part and parcel of the corrupted.

I am not surprised to see some justices corrupt. Corruption affects the lowest ebb of the court.

It happens more at the lowest ebb.

“Corruption is inbuilt in the person who wants to be corrupted. If there is no corruptor, there will not be a person to be corrupted. Therefore, I am urging that we take a holistic look at our

criminal laws to amend them. It is the responsibility of the legislature to ensure it to sanitise the society.

“I believe the legislature at the federal and state levels have power to legislate or amend the laws to criminalise corruption. In my view, it is the legislature that can put things aright and call a spade a spade.”

Answering Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe’s question on adoption of technicality of law in determining cases by the Supreme Court, Justice Muhammad said technicality defiles other norms in law.

He said several of Nigerian laws depends on technicality, but courts can resort to rules of interpretation through issues are resolved, asserting that “technicality gives leeway for double interpretation. What we normally do in such situation at trial courts is to ask experts to come and testify.”

At exactly 1.15 pm, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan asked Justice Mohammad to take a bow after senators unanimously approved his confirmation.

The Senate, thereafter, at 1.20 pm confirmed his appointment and pronounced him chief justice of the federation.

Nigeria loses N580bn annually through unnecessary tax incentives– OXFAM Advises Nigerian govt to review its tax policy

Tax incentives not a priority for investors but infrastructure, others-Report

Motolani Oseni, Lagos

The Federal Government of Nigeria has been advised to review its policy on tax incentives currently costing the country a revenue loss of over N580 billion annually.

OXFAM, an International Non-Government Organisation, made this disclosure on Wednesday at the public presentation of the Fair Tax Monitor Index Report and the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index Report.

The Country Director, OXFAM Nigeria, Mr. Constant Tchona, who gave the advice, said studies had shown that the fiscal incentives granted with the hope of stimulating

investments in the country were eroded by poor governance and lack of transparency.

He said that there was nocost benefit analysis to justify the exemptions.

Tchona said that in the spirit of fair taxation, the process for granting tax incentives should include mandatory parliamentary oversight, clear requirements for incentives and periodic review of expected results.

“The National Assembly should enact a law that will criminalise the actions of banks, auditors, accountants and lawyers that facilitate illicit financial flows.

“When such professionals act contrary to existing regulations, they should be held accountable in Nigeria.

This can be enforced through Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi (right), presenting a cheque to a retiree, Mr. Olowofela Francis, during strengthened professional the presentation of gratuity cheques to local government and primary school pensioners in Ado-Ekiti…on association bodies.

Wednesday “There is also need for the Nigerian government to fast-forward action on the new National Tax Policy and clamp down on corporate crimes.

“New legislation and rules to cope with current realities should be enacted along with introduction to cutting-edge technology”, he said.

Tchona advised the government to make tax laws gender-friendly and more equitable to women as drivers of micro and small businesses in the country.

He also urged the government to consider L-R: Company Secretary/Legal Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Uaboi Agbebaku; Head of Business Development, making Value Added Tax CrossBoundary Energy Nigeria Ltd, Femi Fadugba; Supply Chain Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Martin Kochl (VAT) more progressive by and Corporate Affairs Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Sade Morgan at the signing of an agreement with Cross Continued on page 6 Boundary for the provision of solar powered energy to Nigerian Breweries Plc.

Presidential poll: Tribunal orders INEC boss to appear before it today As Yakubu, Zamfara REC fail to produce election documents

Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has directed the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu and the Zamfara State’s Resident Electoral Commissioner to produce before the tribunal certain documents relating to the February 23, 2019 presidential election by 12 noon today.

Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Mohammed Garba, gave the order on Wednesday at the resumed hearing of the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The order came after the petitioner’s lead lawyer, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), complained that the subpoena served on Prof. Yakubu and the Zamfara State Resident Electoral Commissioner to produce documents on July 15 and July 12 have not being complied with.

In his ruling, Justice Garba said that from the court records, the INEC chairman and the Zamfara State resident electoral commissioner were

served with the court subpoena on July 15 and July 12 respectively.

The chairman of INEC, the Zamfara State resident electoral commissioner as well as the first respondent’s legal team are bound to obey the court order.

“We noted that the subpoena has ordered the Chairman of INEC to produce the defendants on July 15 the same date it was served on him, that was impossible. Zamfara State REC has also not produced the documents,” he observed.

In his complaints, Uche (SAN), the lead counsel for the petitioners, had requested the tribunal to assist to ensure that INEC obey its subpoena served on them. He noted that they have refused to release the documents, adding that “they have not being produced and we have not seen them in court.”

But, the lead counsel for INEC, Yunus Ustaz Usman (SAN), said “the legal team was with the chairman of INEC till 11 pm Tuesday night and that he wants to travel today (Wednesday), but he did not tell us that he was served with subpoena to produce any document. He never told us that he was served with any subpoena.”

Justice Garba interjected thus: “The court effected the service on the chairman on July 15. That was the day he was served to appear before the court with the documents. He was required to appear on that date. The subpoena was served on Zamfara State REC on July 12”.

Usman (SAN) replied by saying, “I am aware of that one and I instructed her to certify the documents and bring them but she text that the applicant has not paid for them.

Justice Garba: Are they here now?

Usman: I sent a text and she stated that it has been certified, but their lawyer has not paid to collect it.

Uche (SAN): A Subpoena from court is an order and a summon from the court not the petitioners. Since the court record has shown that INEC chairman and Zamfara State REC was served, the order of the court must be obeyed. They should make the documents available to us today to tender them before the tribunal.

Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), sais: “While I conceded that Subpoena must be obeyed, I am not defending

INEC but I am worried that tomorrow the headline would be that the Commission has frustrated the tribunal hearing. No one party should be set up as frustrating the hearing”.

On his part, the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawyer, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), told the tribunal that it is not enough to issue Subpoena and that the applicant ought to seek audience with the respondents lawyers.

Replying, Uche, SAN, said: “There were so many efforts made by the petitioners including letter to INEC chairman dated April 15, April 9 and March 12 on same subject matter, but he refused to release the documents.

“In addition to those letters we also wrote INEC lawyer, Usman (SAN) about our difficulties. Let that day never come that a senior counsel will prevail that order of the court should not be obeyed”.

But, Usman (SAN), said that based on letter to him he had supervised the certification of over 40, 000 INEC documents that were made available to the petitioner. He promised to return to INEC today during break to sort things out.

Yakasai faults Northern group over call on Fulani to vacate South Ahmad Sorondinki, Kano

A member of the board of trustees of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has faulted the call by the leadership of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) and the Coalition of the Northern Groups, asking Fulani in the southern part of the country to relocate to the North over fear of being attacked.

The NEF and Coalition of Northern Groups on Tuesday jointly expressed anxiety over plot to attack Fulani herdsmen in the South and called for their vacation from that territory, in one voice.

Yakasai, an elder statesman, argued that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria allowed every Nigerian, including the Fulani, the choice of residing at any part of the country.

In a statement signed

by Yakasai and made

available to journalists on Wednesday, he said: “I wish to condemn in the strongest terms possible the recent call by the Northern Group to Fulani people living in Southern part of Nigeria to leave the area and return to the North.

“Leadership of the Northern Group should be aware that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has bestowed right to every Nigerian to live in any part of the country he or she wishes to reside and that no authority, group of people or an individual no matter how highly placed can deny any Nigerian to exercise this inalienable right.

“Section 4 of the constitution has guaranteed not only the right for any Nigerian citizen to reside in any part of the country he so wished.

“That section has also guaranteed to every Nigerian right to hold and express opinion without let or hinderence.

Like other Nigerians, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and members of other Nigerian ethnic groups, Fulani are indigenes of this country and are entitled to enjoy all the rights and privileges other Nigerians are enjoying and nobody can put any hindrance to prevent them from enjoying those rights.

“I am a Hausaman not Fulani but I will defend the right of the Fulani and other Nigerian people to enjoy all the rights I and other Nigerians are enjoying.

“I appeal to all well meaning Nigerians to join me in this fight so that together we shall make our country a place where our people can live in peace and enjoy peaceful coexistence with one another.

“I call on all northerners and other Nigerians to be weary of the unpatriotic elements leaving within our midst, northerners and non northerners alike, who do not believe in the unity and oneness of our beloved

country not to allow themselves to be mislead by the antics of those unpatriotic elements who have nothing positive to contribute towards making this country great.

“Our nation has all it takes to make it the envy of many. What we lack is good leadership. I believe we shall one day overcome this misfortune.

“We therefore need to direct our attention in creating ideal leadership that can take us to the Promised Land. Many other nations found themselves at one time in the kind of situation we are presently experiencing they took up the challenge and overcome their problems.

Theirs is a different story today. We too can do it and succeed.

“What we need is resolution to face the challenges and determination to succeed.

If others can succeed we too can. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Andrew Orolua, Abuja

“You people are just playing politics with peoples’ lives. People died,” he said.

It took about five minutes for the presiding justice of the five -man panel, Justice Mohammed Garba, to pacify him.

Reacting to the development, Olanipekun said: “We are used to people like him. My question had nothing to do with death.”

Under cross- examination

by All Progressives Congress’ lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the witness confirmed that the APC won in the 2015 elections in the ward.

“It may interest you to know that I was in APC during the election he is talking about. Had there been no violence, PDP would have won this election,” he added.

Aliyu Abdullahi, a ward collation agent also on Wednesday, told the presidential election petition tribunal that he was shocked when he heard results the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, released in two Wards in Nasarawa State where voters ran away owing to attacks by herdsmen.

Abdullahi, who appeared as the 52nd witness in the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said he was surprised when he heard during live broadcast of the presidential election, that “area where people were displaced due to communal clashes between Tiv people and Fulani herdsmen, produced results”.

According to him, “because of the clashes, people had to run away from the area”.

Under cross-examination, the witness told the tribunal that though the area was deserted, INEC retained two polling units in it.

He said as the Ward Collation Agent for the PDP during the presidential election, “I did not collect the result. I refused to sign it”.

He told the tribunal that other PDP agents that were posted to the two affected polling units are still alive.

Earlier in his own testimony, another Ward Collation agent from Karu Ward also in Nasarawa State, Dangana Barde, insisted that Atiku defeated President Buhari.

Tchona said that this would help to reduce wealth inequality in the country.

“VAT exemption for building materials will have a direct positive bearing on middle and poor class segments of the population and make rent cheaper, thereby reducing housing deficit.

“It is also important to increase direct tax net rather

than increasing burden of indirect taxes like VAT. “Establishing a more progressive tax system will make it possible for government to deliver,” he added.

The study also showed that Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal had a combined loss of over 5.8 billion dollars every year.

The report further showed that tax incentives were not the priority for investors, rather they looked for infrastructure, education and the quality of the workforce.

Insecurity: APC cautions against provocative Short News statements over killing of Olakunri Police restrict protests in Abuja to Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned Nigerians against provocative utterances in reaction to the present security challenges in the country, especially the public outburst that followed the killing of Mrs. Funke Olakunri in Ore, Ondo state last weekend.

The party noted with concern cases of violent crimes recorded in some parts of the country, particularly the recent and unfortunate killing of the daughter of Chief Rueben Fasoranti, the Afenifere leader and joined the Buhari administration and all peace-loving Nigerians in extending its condolences to the family of the late Funke Olakunrin on the sad and painful loss.

However, the APC said it is disturbed by what it described as the recent reckless and provocative statements ascribed to some leaders and interests in the country.

Party’s spokesman, Lanre Issa Onilu in a statement on Wednesday, said inciting actions and rhetoric are counter-productive and dangerous, particularly in a multiethnic country such as Nigeria.

The party noted that “terrorism, kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and other crimes must be condemned by all. There is nothing like an Isoko, Gwari or Awori robber because criminality has no tribe in the eyes of the law.

“We must remind ourselves that many of the recorded genocides all over the world started through unchecked prejudices and systematic profiling of racial, political and cultural groups. God forbid our dear country descends into such savagery.

“We reject the notion of a Nigeria where any ethnic group is unwelcome in any part of the country. Every Nigerian must be free to live and work in safety anywhere in the country.

“Our leaders have an important duty to be temperate in their language and actions. We must

be wary of partisan individuals, many of whom formerly occupied elective positions but failed to tackle many of the criminalities we face today.

“We must be wary of these leaders who now play to the gallery to incite, spread hate and intolerance in the country. Their interventions are not patriotic but in pursuance of their political and selfish interests.”

The APC urged the Buhari administration, the National Assembly, religious, traditional, political leaders and indeed, all well-meaning Nigerians not to be distracted by these unpatriotic antics.

“We may not agree on some issues in our national life, but we must continue to explore all peaceful and legitimate avenues to tackle our challenges and find an amicable common ground to our disputation,” the party insisted.

It called on relevant security agencies to intensify ongoing efforts to rid the country of crime, particularly violent crime.

unity fountain

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu has restricted all forms of protests within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to the Unity Fountain, Central Business District, Abuja.

This directive according to a statement made available to newsmen by the Force Public Relations officer, DCP Frank Mba is to ensure safety and security of life and property, free flow of traffic and the protection of commerce and other economic activities as well as a more coordinated handling of peaceful protest.

According to the statement, intending protesters are requested to steer-clear of all critical national infrastructures, especially the Three Arms Zone and other sensitive security areas. They are however, at liberty to assemble and conduct peaceful protests within the Unity Fountain, the authorized protest zone.

The restriction, the police said is sequel to series of protests, such as the one on October 30, 2018 in various parts of Abuja, which brought the capital city to a standstill, crumbling economic activities and inflicting untold hardship on motorists and the general public. ‘’A similar protest during the same month led to the setting ablaze of a police patrol vehicle at Banex Plaza, Abuja, traumatizing innocent citizens. This year, on July 9, another protest at the National Assembly, Abuja, led to an unprovoked attack on police officers on legitimate national assignment, injuring nine of them and causing massive damage to public and private property. ‘’The force is not unaware of the African Charter on Human Rights, which the Nigerian state has ratified and the constitutional provisions relating to the fundamental human rights, particularly freedom of expression, right to peaceful assembly and freedom of movement. ‘’It is important however, to note that these rights are not absolute and are constitutionally moderated by the genuine concerns for public safety, public order and for the purpose of protecting the rights and freedom of other persons.

“Needless to state that it is within the prerogative of the police to regulate activities of protesters who have the tendency to cause damage to life and property, particularly to innocent and non-protesting citizens, who also have equal rights to exercise their freedom unmolested by the protesting group. ‘’It is against this backdrop that the inspector general seeks the cooperation and understanding of would-be protesters and the public,’’ the statement added.

...as PDP knocks Buhari over comments on state of insecurity Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for describing the gruesome killings, bloodletting, violence and widespread kidnapping in various parts of the country as isolated cases.

The party described this comment as unfortunate, adding that it further exposes the incompetence of the Buhari Presidency as well as its insensitivity to the pain and anguish of victims of unabating violence under his administration.

The PDP noted that such underplay of serious security situation, particularly at this

time that many communities and families in Nigeria are hurting and looking up to leaders for comfort and assurances, is a direct spat on the graves of the victims and assault on the sensibility of compatriots.

The party derided President Buhari’s comment in a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

“Do President Buhari and the leaders of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) know the excruciating pain of orphans and widows in various parts of our nation, who daily live in anguish over the death of their breadwinners in the hands of marauders, bandits and insurgents?

“Do the President and the APC

know the torment of families whose loved ones are languishing in kidnappers’ dens; or the pain of parents whose promising sons and daughters never returned, but cut in their prime by killers?

“Do the President and APC leaders know the terror of travelling on our roads and the torture of falling into the hands of kidnappers and bandits?” the party quipped.

The party said it is sad that while the nation is mourning, leaders sit in their comfort and safety to make insensitive comments.

The PDP therefore, charged President Buhari to immediately take decisive steps that will put an end to the killings and violence ravaging the nation under his watch.

An aspirant for the Kogi state governorship ticket on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Kabiru Haruna has said he is not scared of other aspirants in the race.

Haruna said he is not threatened by the presence of former Governor Idris Wada and Abubakar Ibrahim, son of another former Governor of the state, Idris Ibrahim in the race for the PDP ticket The entrepreneur cum estate developer said he is ready to slug it out with any of the other aspirants without fear of intimidation.

Haruna spoke with journalists immediately he picked the expression of interest and nomination form to contest for the PDP governorship ticket ahead of the November 16 gubernatorial poll in the state.

He said that “I am banking on my antecedents in Kogi state. The people back at home know me and what I stand for. My mission is to salvage Kogi state.”

Concerned by the present worrisome state of things in Kogi, he said what the state needs is someone who has the determination to turn things around and bring back joy to the people of the state.

The governorship aspirant said while the monthly allocations from the federation account is the right of every state, he will redesign avenue to generate revenue internally from the abundant mineral resources in the state.

“Kogi is vastly rich in mineral resources and it needs an entrepreneur like me with great experience in business to tap the resources and put the money into infrastructural development of the state.

“I will also ensure total overhauling of the education and health sectors in the state to bring relief to the citizenry while the payment of salaries and pension would not be issues again,” he said.

200 IDPs get two-bedroom bungalows in Yobe

No fewer than 200 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe state have received a two-bedroom bungalow each, constructed under an existing partnership with the Yobe state Agency for Community and Social Development (YSACSD).

Some beneficiaries of the partnership made this known in separate interviews on Wednesday in Buni Yadi. They said that the initiative has greatly enhanced their resettlement and recovery in their respective communities.

Malam Yusuf Ahmed, an IDP who fled Buni Yadi to Damaturu, said his house was razed while he was away and had no where to put his family when he returned, but was supported by the agency to build a two-bedroom bungalow.

“YSACSD came up with this support that individuals should provide five per cent contribution while it provides the balance of 95 per cent to build a two-bedroom house to the benefiting IDPs. “This was done in a group of 10 people who provided five percent either in cash or building materials or labour and the agency provides the 95 per cent balance to build the houses.

“The agency also allows the group to execute the projects either through direct labour or pick contractors of their choice,” Yusuf said.

Another beneficiary, Bukar Ali, said the partnership and five per cent contribution paid by beneficiaries made them to be more committed to the projects.

“We executed our houses through direct labour and ensured that adequate materials were used to ensure quality was not compromised. The agency also supervised the construction to ensure we lived up to the terms of agreement before they released the resources which were paid in instalments as the work progressed, ” he said.

Abdu Musa, another beneficiary, said “in view of our situation and the opportunity given to us by the agency, we wasted no time in constructing the houses.

“Unlike government contracts, these were speedily executed for us to have shelter over our heads, and we are now proud owners of houses through this partnership with the agency.”

History as a vehicle for National Development

Jerome-Mario Utomi

From the excitement elicited so far, it will not be an overstatement to characterize as historic; the recent statement

by Mr Sonny Echono, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja, that the Federal Government has directed all primary and secondary schools across the country to immediately implement the teaching of history as a stand-alone subject from the next academic calendar.

The situation is by no means a surprise as the most basic realities and consequences of not having history taught in schools had recently become not only predictable but real. Particularly, it could be recalled that prior to this announcement, Nigerians with critical interests have, at different times and places argued that allowing history in Nigeria schools (Primary and secondary) could be a possible escape from multifaceted challenges bedeviling the country.

Though it is recognized that our political system is reputed for not engaging the best minds to help get answers to our national challenges, that notwithstanding, I hold an opinion that this recent move by the FG, looking at its advantages remains a right step taken in the right direction.

Apart from the time-honoured saying that any nation, group or an individual that fails to absorb lessons from history, is in the historian’s phrase doomed to repeat the mistakes that have already been made, the usefulness of history in human existence cannot be overemphasized as it without any shadow of doubt helped the

students(youths) to ‘take in vast amounts of information, teach them how to write and communicate those ideas effectively, expose the students to accept the fact that many problems have no clear-cut answer, while helping to cultivate flexibility and a willingness to change their minds as they go about solving problems in whatever field they ultimately choose.

Next to assisting in knowledge about people, societies, and information on how people and societies live and behave, is that knowledge of history help immensely in equipping citizens to be both good leaders and good followers that cannot be deceived.

For without such knowledge, one may be extremely educated and at the same time be ill-informed or misinformed.

To explain, it is on the good ground that between 1930s and 1940s, many members of the Nazi party in Germany were extremely well educated but their knowledge of literature, mathematics, philosophy, and others simply empowered them to be effective Nazis. No matter how educated they were, no matter how well they cultivated their intellect; they were still trapped in a web of totalitarian propaganda that mobilized for evil purpose- war. They supported the Second World War simply because they were ill-equipped with history; they had no knowledge that War, though, legal violence has never in the history of humanity solved any problem.

Further explanation as to what the nation stands to gain from this decision, and its usefulness to Leadership is the words of

Lee Kuan Yew, a former Prime Minister of Singapore, that; between the 1940s and 1960s, the forte of British academics was in a serious study of the past, not of the present or the future, Noting that great leadership knowledge is gained by probing the past events(history) and using the knowledge derived to tackle the present.

Today, our inability as a people to frankly investigate our past via history, to enable us correct our backward attitudes developed during the colonial era now contributes to why we are not marching forward; but groping and stumbling, divided and confused.

Regardless of what others may, Nigerians during the colonial days developed a belief that views the public property as no man’s property. This belief was intended to fight colonialism but it continued after independence and brought about insensitiveness to government property, ineptitude, nepotism and neglect of duty.

Why the reintroduction of history as a stand-alone subject by the Federal Government should be considered a right step taken in the right direction is that our youths, that will provide the next set of our leaders have for a very long time in the absence of history as a subject yielded obedience to the power of social media; learning cultures that are unAfrican. Which as a consequence brought about a push in antisocial activities and adversely affects their education, promotes fake news, and appreciably encourage premarital sexual escapade, Remember, whenever the people are

well informed, ‘they can be trusted with their own government; whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right’.

This FG’s decision, no doubt will avail the youths opportunity to listen to the stories of those before them, study the actions of eminent men, see how they conducted themselves and discover the reasons for their victories or their defeats so that they can avoid the later and imitate the former’ Such stories, from what human development experts are saying can inspire the youth to action.

Also very important is that in the coming days, history will present to our youths a credible account of what transpired during the pre-colonial days.

This is important as so many historical accounts coming from the western authors and world about pre-colonial Africa creates an impression that when the Colonial overlords arrived in Africa, the natives have to be taught everything.

That Africans knew nothing about writing or building; that we had no idea of what a nation, state or what political institution should look like. Message African youths are beginning to internalize.

But with the coming of history, such will definitely, be erased as African historians and other scholars are in agreement that Europeans succeeded in Nigeria as a colonial power not because they were more organized but because they met already organized political, socioeconomic institutions/ kingdoms

Still on the economy

Uddin Ifeanyi

On the ever so important question of whether (or not) Nigeria is working the growing needs of the people is to avoid the pitfalls of an simplification that seeks to establish a moral equivalence between this and the characterisation of the fabled glass of water as either halffull or half-empty. Partisans of the incumbent administration are wont to cashier those who insist that the economy has put in a sub-par shift over the last four years, as pessimists who can only see glasses of water as half-empty where they ought to celebrate the fact that the glass is filling up. The charge of unbridled and unmoored optimism goes the other way.

And few Nigerians are the better for this argument.

In defining what it means for an economy to “work”, the supposition here is that no one will mistake a vehicle with a sixcylinder engine as “working”, when it is firing on only one of its cylinders. To belabour this metaphor a bit, tell-tale signs of the state of a bad engine are the inability of the vehicle to build momentum, especially when going uphill, and the noxious smoke it consistently belches from its exhaust.

At an annual growth rate of about 2 per cent, there can be no question but that the engine of the Nigerian economy labours and is heavy laden, to little fruition.

There’s of course, no doubting how poorly it would fare

were it invited to travel uphill soon (for instance, if a global recession were to depress both the demand for and price of its key export). What about the smoke from its exhaust? If you took the official numbers for unemployment, inflation, and capacity use seriously, “polluting the environment” would be the inescapable response to the latter question.

Aficionados of the glass of water fable will be quick to remind you that the exhaust fumes from the economy’s exertions are not all sooty-black, though.

More grey. And, readily, they’d point you to the healthy numbers on the current account balance, the gross external reserves, and the rude health that the domestic banking sector is in – as silver linings in an otherwise cloudy firmament.

Recently, this reading of the Nigerian economy’s health got to add additional data to its arsenal.

According to numbers recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), capital imported into the country in the first quarter of this year crossed a (psychological?) threshold. Until the numbers from the January to March 2019 period, the largest amount of capital imported into the country was the US$6.6 billion brought in, in the first quarter of 2013. What, then, to make of the more than US$8 billion imported in the first quarter of

this year? Is it not evidence of growing non-resident investor confidence in the economy and the way its current management is husbanding it?

As with other efforts to make sense of the exhaust from the economy’s engine, the truth is more nuanced. “Portfolio investment” (different from the “foreign direct” variety in the extent to which foreign investors have little or no longterm proprietary interest in the instruments, and look only to near-term gains) was the main component of the growth in capital imported into the country in the first quarter of the year. It grew by 57 per cent to US$7.15 billion, from US$4.57 billion in the same period last year, accounting fully for 88.46 per cent of the US$8.49 billion capital imported into the country early this year.

Foreign investors didn’t send in money to build factories in the first quarter of this year – nor have they done so in any significant way for a while now. No. The monies we took in didn’t stand a lit candle’s chance in Hades of driving productivity enhancements or growth. No. They simply came in to take advantage of relatively high domestic interest rates. We all understand why foreign portfolios of debt and equity would flee the zerointerest bound environments in Europe and North America for higher yields in emerging markets such as ours.

But why would an emerging market pay top dollars to sustain foreign interest in its shortterm instruments? Largely, because of vulnerabilities arising from our preference for a “virile” naira exchange rate, and government’s increasingly deleterious appetite for borrowing. Alive to how the flow of domestic funds have not supported real sector activity, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently leaned heavily on domestic banks to lend more to businesses than warehouse their liquid funds in government short-term borrowing instruments.

But in the design of policy meant to drive productive activity locally, we do well to understand why foreign direct investment (FDI – the bit that allows an “investor to exercise a certain degree of managerial control over a company”) into the country has remained flat over the years. Indeed, in the first quarter of this year, FDI into the country dropped from US$246.62 million in the first quarter of 2018 to US$243.36 million.

Could non-resident investors and the banks be alive to dangers to investing in the real sector of the economy that the CBN may not have been aware of (or even ignored) in the design of its latest intervention programme? On this question, the next four years promise to be as important as the last four were revealing!

Oyo police burn 115 bags of Indian hemp The Oyo state Police Command on Wednesday burnt 115 bags of Indian hemp seized from drug peddlers at Sando community in the state.

The burning exercise was conducted at a refuse site in Lapite, Moniya area of Ibadan.

Speaking with newsmen on the sidelines of the exercise, the Officer in Charge of surveillance in the Criminal Investigation Division of the command, Maku Aderemi, said the bags were intercepted in Ayete on April 6 at about 1:15a.m based on tip off.

“Before we got to the scene, the owner of the Indian hemp had escaped and the substance was transported to the office. Investigation is still ongoing in order to apprehend the owner of the Indian hemp,” Aderemi said.

He further said that a court order to destroy the Indian hemp was obtained, adding that the burning would serve as a deterrent to other peddlers.

Also speaking, a pharmacist, Hamidu Adediran, said distribution of such drugs on the streets could wreak havoc on the society.

He said the increasing crime wave in the country may be linked to indulgence in hard drugs.

“All hands must be on deck to make sure that this type of exercise is done regularly to curb distribution of hard drugs,” he said.

Officials of the state Ministry of Environment and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency attended the exercise.

Magu said: “Information at the disposal of the Economic and Financial Crimes

“The Commission urges you to use your good office to place these individuals under strict surveillance.

If there is anything you want from my office, I will equally do that,” Onymenam said.

On the EFCC watch list, Onymenam said there was no cause for alarm, assuring that the suspects would not get another international passports.

OUR POSITION Tackling the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria The devastating consequences of drug use know no geographic, economic, social, or ethnic boundaries. Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the globe – rich, poor, educated, illiterate, male, female, and even young children die from drug abuse, and millions more are victims of addiction and drugfueled violence.

Beyond the toll drugs take on health and welfare, substance use disorders undermine economic development, diminishes social and political stability, and reduces security in countries and regions around the world.

It is no longer news that 70% of youth in Nigeria today get themselves involved in one form of drug abuse or the other.

Amidst the widespread commendations over the ban of codeine by the Federal Government, a new large-scale nationwide survey has revealed that drug use by people within the ages of 15 and 64 years in Nigeria is on the rise.

A survey on drug use in Nigeria last year had revealed that the nation is breeding a wild generation of drug addicts. This gory state of affairs of substance abuse calls for the declaration of a state of emergency, considering the fact that the youth population is the fulcrum of national development.

The nationwide survey by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) funded by European Union (EU) in partnership with the Federal Government said 10.6 million Nigerians abused cannabis in 2018, while 4.6 million abused opiods.

The report said that 2.4 million youths and adults also abused cough syrups with 92,000 more using cocaine. Other drugs commonly abused during the period are tranquilizers and sedatives, solvent, inhalers, amphetamines and prescription stimulants.

This survey also reports that one of four drug users in Nigeria is a woman. Adding that the extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high compared to previous global annual prevalence of any drug abuse use.

Basically, youths in the country inhale, inject and consume psychotic and narcotic substances and drugs at will, easily evading the scrutiny of a society distracted by economic malaise at the expense of their future wellbeing.

Truth be told, the impact of drug abuse is lethal.

Many families are contending with drug addicts; some of them have quit schooling and work; others are on the verge of lunacy or battling with acute

diseases.

The number of drug users in Nigeria is estimated at 14.4 per cent or 14.3 million people aged between 15 and 64 years according to the results of the National Drug Use Survey. The data suggests that the prevalence of past year drug use in Nigeria is more than twice the global average of 5.6 per cent.

The extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high when compared with the 2016 global annual prevalence of any drug use of 5.6 per cent among the adult population.

There is a gap in meeting the needs for treatment and care for people with drug use disorders. With close to three million Nigerians living with some level of drug dependence, the extremely limited availability of drug counselling and treatment services exacerbates this health crisis. his is indeed striking and alarming and calls for concerted efforts to mitigate the negative consequences of this rising menace on the health, socio-economic and security of our nation.

Even though the Federal Government has over the years responded boldly to this global challenge with innovative, standard-setting drug demand reduction programs, we are of the opinion that there is need to solve the problem.

Awareness programmes need to be developed to address the perception of stigma among the youth and their families over substance use and to remove barriers towards seeking care for these problems.

These programmes should also address the inability of the youth to perceive addictive behaviours as a health risk.

Parents and support persons’ involvement and engagement in youth programmes should be strengthened further as it improves communication and better decision-making for youth health issues.

Family-based prevention programmes emphasising parenting skills, training or improving family functioning, communication and family rules regarding substance abuse needs to be introduced.

Also, teachers are a major source of information to young people. Hence, strengthening the role and performance of educational institutions, ensuring availability of counselling services, gender sensitivity issues, making life skills courses a part of curriculum are required for health and welfare of young people.

Most importantly, in all youth related programmes, young people should be involved and engaged to empower them to take informed decisions.

Senate extends investigation of Abbo Short News for assaulting lady Zamfara APC sets up c’ttee over intimidation by govt Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate on Wednesday extended by one week the deadline given its ad hoc committee set up to investigate the conduct of Senator, Elisha Abbo for allegedly assaulting a lady in an adult toy shop in May this year in Abuja.

This followed the request for an extension of time by the committee’s Chairman, Senator Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).

Sen. Egwu, who came under Order 43 of the Senate rule, said the committee was asking for the extension of the deadline to submit its report because it is waiting for the outcome of police investigation into the assault allegation before rounding off its assignment.

The committee chairman said the committee is asking for additional time because of the sensitivity of the assignment, adding that “we set out to do the investigation by inviting people that are involved, including our colleague, Sen. Abbo, who made it clear that he was invited by the police, detained for a day and later charged to court “He told the committee that the matter is already prejudiced and therefore, he cannot comment on a matter before a law court. Also, the victim’s lawyer told the committee that the matter is in court and as such he cannot talk on it while the shop owner failed to honour our invitation.”

The Senate President said since the ad hoc committee is yet to conclude its assignment it cannot give an interim report.

Sen. Lawan said that “we are not investigating criminal activities which the police is already investigating, but we are investigating the misconduct of our colleague.

“We will give you an extension of time, but we cannot wait until the police finish its investigation or after the determination of the matter by the court.”

However, the Senate President was

reminded by the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe that his remarks were his personal opinion which is contrary to Senate Rule 53.

The Senate President quickly accepted the fact, but concluded by saying that “in my opinion the committee should go ahead with its assignment.”

The ad hoc committee was set up on July 3.

Akure community vows not to condone herdsmen attacks Adewale Momoh, Akure Residents of Akure, the Ondo state capital have declared that they have had enough of attacks on innocent people by persons suspected to be herdsmen.

Still reeling from the shock of the gruesome murder of Mrs. Funke Olakunri, who was shot dead by gunmen last week, said that the federal and state governments must rise to it responsibility of providing security to the people Addressing journalists in Akure, Ambassador Omolade Oluwateru stated that almost all the farmlands within and around Akure community have been taken over by herdsmen.

While emphasizing that farmlands across the community have been deserted by farm owners due to the nefarious activities of herdsmen, Oluwateru maintained that many citizens of the state are victims of kidnap while others have been maimed.

“We must declare that we are currently in deep mourning, occasioned by the dastardly murder of a prominent Akure indigene, Mrs. Olufunke

Olakunri, daughter of our father, Pa Ruben Ayo Fasoranti, the leader of Afenifere and by extension Yoruba leader.

“We are indeed, very sad at this ugly development and also deeply angered and frustrated at the fact that our nation is indeed, descending into anarchy, a development that cannot be excused at all.

“The killing of Olufunke represents a new scourge, invasion of our lands by Fulani herdsmen who have wantonly killed, raped and destroyed across Yorubaland and it has now gotten to a stage that the Yoruba nation must rise and declare enough is enough!

“In Akure kingdom, these Fulani criminals have even driven their criminal messages into our ears fiercely through their nefarious kidnapping activities, they began by abducting Chief Olu Falae in his farm, while in their captivity he was treated with great disrespect and abuses.

“We held our peace in national interest in this instance, hoping that government at both state and federal levels will take action to forestall this evil development, alas our expectations in that respect have been dashed.

Our reporter

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state has set up a security committee to protect its members against intimidation and harassment by the state government.

“We will not fold our arms to see our people being subjected to all forms of maltreatment simply because we lost power in the state,” stated the committee’s chairman, retired Commissioner of Police Abdullahi Tsafe, while briefing journalists shortly after their inauguration.

According to him, based on the reports of intimidation, harassment and destruction of APC’s properties by members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, it becomes imperative for the party to stand up and defend its members.

“If we are to behave the same way with the PDP, the state would be on fire,” he said, adding that APC still has a large following than the ruling PDP in the state.

The chairman said he had since visited all the security formations in the state with a view to intimating them of the negative attitude of PDP members for them to take action to remedy the situation before it got out of control.

Court remands housewife who seduced friend’s husband Our reporter A housewife, Adama Arabi was on Tuesday in Kaduna remanded in prison custody by the Sharia Court II of the state sitting at Magajin Gari. She was also charged with trespass.

She was ordered by the judge to bring a reliable surety who would deposit N100, 000 with the court and ensure that she appears in court on the next adjourned date.

The judge, Murtala Nasir, then ordered that the woman be remanded until she perfected her bail conditions and adjourned the case till July 25, for further hearing.

Nasir warned both parties to desist from any form of communication that would trigger chaos between them.

Earlier, Musbahu Mustapha, counsel to the complainant, Fatima Sulaiman, a businesswoman who resides at Malali, Kaduna, told the court that both parties were friends who discuss their marital problems with each other.

He explained that over 50 projects have been executed by the ministry as part of its determination to improve the living condition of rural communities across the state.

APC chieftain urges Buhari critics to proffer solutions to insecurity A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe state, Dr. Jamilu Gwamna, has urged critics of President Muhammadu Buhari on security to provide solutions on how to improve the situation.

Gwamna also said that previous administrations should also take responsibility for the security challenges in the country.

According to him, Buhari inherited the seeds of insecurity facing the country that were planted by past administrations through corruption and wasting of resources.

He however, noted that the country would make tremendous progress in the fight against insecurity if those condemning and criticizing Buhari would recommend solutions that

can assist in combating the menace.

“If you can’t make recommendations as to how we can solve the pockets of insecurity in some parts of the country, then of what use is your criticisms. As a patriot, the aim of criticism is for improvement.

“Why criticise or condemn the President for the insecurity issues that were created through poverty and other bad governance of the 16 years of the same crop of leaders who now dish out condemnation like saints.

“President Buhari inherited almost a failed state, especially when Abuja was almost becoming a regular ground for bombings.

Today, that has been addressed, yet no single commendation in that

regard.

“If those criticising and condemning President Buhari are to prove their patriotism, let them also commend Mr. President whenever there is improvement and not use isolated cases to dish out condemnations,’’ he said.

Gwamna stressed that it was the ingenious management of the situation by Buhari since 2015 that had not escalated insecurity in the country, adding that the state of the country before 2015 was “embarrassingly shameful.’’

While appealing to all Nigerians to defend the country’s unity and jettison attempts to politicise security issues in the country, the chieftain warned that “such politicization is a threat to our collective existence.’’

The Lagos state task force has issued a seven -day removal notice to all owners of illegal structures along the Badagry Expressway.

Chairman of the Agency, Olayinka Egbeyemi, who stated this in a press statement issued on Wednesday, warned owners of illegal structures and traders at different spots to immediately vacate all road setbacks and walkways on or before July 23.

Egbeyemi, a chief superintendent of police stated that the removal notice became imperative in preparation for the commencement of road works to be embarked upon along that corridor and to dislodge criminal elements who on a daily basis, rob motorists, including innocent members of the public of their valuables.

Said the task force chairman “It is an eye-sore, seeing owners of these illegal structures, iron benders, fruit sellers, pepper sellers, ram sellers, furniture makers and food vendors from Eric Moore down to the trade fair complex indiscriminately dumping their refuse and used materials on road set-backs, walk-ways and canals, thereby causing serious flood to the entire axis whenever it rains.

“They must remove their illegal structures, shanties, kiosks and containerised shops on or before Tuesday.’’

Ekiti to sanction head teachers for illegal fees collection Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti Chairman of the Ekiti state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Prof. Francisca Aladejana has warned head teachers against the collection of illegal fees from pupils in public primary schools in the state.

The chairman who issued the warning during a meeting with the SUBEB management held with head teachers of public primary schools in the 16 local government areas, said that any teacher caught sending pupils away from school on account of the non-payment of fees would be severely sanctioned.

He said that it is a gross violation of the Universal Basic Education Act for pupils to be charged fees no matter under what guise.

the poor learning facilities and is working assiduously to provide pupils and teachers with furniture, toilet facilities, perimeter fencing and new buildings among others in order to give basic education a boost in the state.

The SUBEB chairman urged teachers to redouble their efforts in the task of providing qualitative basic education to pupils, noting that apart from giving the welfare of teachers topmost priority, Gov. Fayemi recently approved the payment of running grants for the entire three terms of the 2018/ 2019 academic session to all public schools in the state.

Aladejana therefore, enjoined teachers to key into the various reforms that were ongoing in the basic education sector in the state, including the issue of training and retraining, introduction of child friendly initiatives and modern teaching techniques.

While reiterating that education remains

one of the pillars of the Fayemi led administration, the chairman noted that the support and cooperation of all critical stakeholders in the sector were required by government in its quest to return the state to its pride of place in the field of education.

She warned staff of the local government education authorities, head teachers and other stakeholders against demanding for gratification from the contractors handling school projects, adding that the present administration in the state has zero tolerance for corruption and sharp practices.

Responding, one of the head teachers, Femi Ojo thanked the SUBEB board chairman for the meeting and promised to get his staff informed of the state government’s policies and plans for the basic education sub-sector.

“No reasonable individual would want to circumvent and be a clog in the wheel of progress of what the state government is doing in basic education,’’ he said.

AfCFTA: Initiate policies that encourages SMSEs, MAN tasks FG Joy Obakeye The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has called on the federal government to initiate policies that would encourage startups in the Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMSEs), saying the sector contributes over 80 per cent of the Gross Domestic product, and if properly incentivised and supported could be able to ramp up production and total exports of the country.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Director-General of MAN, Segun AjayiKadir.

He noted that, “We are suggesting the need for the establishment of the National Action Committee on Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)” to coordinate relevant Ministries, Departments, Agencies of Government and relevant Private Sector Groups to drive the implementation of the AfCFTA readiness projects and initiatives.

“Going forward, we count, very strongly, on the commitment to enhance the capacity of the manufacturing sector and indeed other economic actors to take advantage of the opportunities inherent in the continental free trade area and to, quite importantly, mitigate the multifarious risks. We also expect that MAN would be part of the national structures and processes that would be put in place by the federal government to manage the process.

“On the side of the private sector, we need to optimize our processes and innovate to outperform our contemporaries in the other countries of Africa. Of course, we shall work together to prevail on the Government to do its own bit by providing the conducive atmosphere.

“The infrastructure challenges such as poor electricity supply, deplorable road network and lack of adequate transportation system (rail network) etc. that constitute the supply constraints should be removed. Needed policies to improve the macroeconomic environment should be put in place and existing ease of doing business initiatives strengthened, especially to lower cost and grow existing capacities. To aid the competitiveness of local manufacturers, government should strongly address the issue of multiple taxations and over-regulation of the production sector which has added to the existing myriad of challenges.”

Ajayi-Kadir, further explained that MAN actively participated at the Steering Committee level as well as the Technical Working Group.

“It was based on the outcome of these processes that Mr President was advised and he did append his signature at the just concluded Extra-Ordinary Session of the African Union.”

“We are glad to note that the Federal Government did carry out an all-inclusive nationwide consultation and just like MAN conducted a country-specific study on the potential impact of Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).”

incident.”

He said that about N277 million was collected as revenue in June, adding that measures had been puCxt in place to ensure optimal revenue generation in the area.

Windows 10 begins expiration warning updates Ladesope Ladelokun Windows 10 users will from now get notifications from Microsoft to alert them if their operating system build is nearing expiration, says Windows Latest.

The company had previously displayed notifications warning of OS build

expiry on older versions of its operating system, but it has now begun alerting Windows 10 users if they are using an outdated version of the software.

Starting with Windows 10 April 2018 update, which is expected to go dark later in 2019, Microsoft will alert users that they must update to a newer release in order to continue to get new features and security improvements.

These alerts ask users to update to a newer release of the operating system to continue receiving security updates and new features. A windows version does not receive updates and security patches when it reaches the end of support.

“You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of support. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows

10 now to get the latest features and security improvements”, the notification states.

Typically, Microsoft displays expiration notifications on older versions like Windows 7, but the same approach has yet to be used as far as Windows 10 is concerned. Analysts say for beginners who rarely visit the Windows update, the likelihood of them noticing is low.

Nigeria loses N6trn annually to Apapa gridlock, says NECA Temitope Adebayo The organized private sector in its survey has revealed that Nigeria loses about N6 trillion earnings annually across the different sectors of the economy due to Apapa gridlock.

Giving the breakdown of the figure, the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), said that about N3.06 trillion was lost on non-oil export, and about N2.5 trillion across other sectors.

According to NECA, the survey also shows that one year after the presidential Executive Order, operational hiccups being experienced at the nation’s seaports are yet to yield any result.

Speaking at the association’s 62nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Lagos, Mauricio Alarcon, Nestlé’s managing director, noted that despite the government’s efforts to make doing business easier in the country, businesses still operate in an environment characterized by regulatory brigandage

and widening infrastructural gap.

According to him, government must consistently facilitate an environment that not only attracts foreign direct investment but also enables existing local businesses to grow and flourish.

He urged the federal government to do away with fuel subsidy that gulps about N1 trillion annually, and fast-track diversification programme, a marketdriven foreign exchange management, sustained and significant reduction in the cost of governance, infrastructural

development at the Lagos Port, a marketdriven electricity supply and billing system.

“We urge that government should take urgent steps to facilitate the completion of the Apapa Ports road, the Agbara Industrial Estate road and other strategic roads in the nation. Billions of Naira is lost annually due to the players in the power sector in the interest of the nation.

Grandstanding, name-calling and buckpassing have left businesses and the general public disenchanted”, he stated.

NSE inducts 46 newly authorised dealing clerks Motolani Oseni The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has inducted 46 recently qualified Dealing Clerks charging them to uphold the highest level of ethics and sense of responsibility.

Out of the 53 candidates who had passed the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS) examination and went through the mandatory practical Automated Trading System (ATS) training at the NSE, only 46 passed the final oral examination at the Exchange.

In his opening remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of the NSE, Mr Oscar N. Onyema, OON said that the ceremony is not just a celebration, but marks a call to stand tall in integrity, to be impeccable in character, to be professional in service and to uphold the high ethics and values for which the Exchange and the capital market are renowned. That is the big hurdle that you must cross effortlessly in your daily practice of this profession.

According to him, “NSE has clear and enforceable rules and operates

with a zero-tolerance policy on all infractions. The NSE will support the inductees in developing their capacity.

However, if infractions occur, NSE will not hesitate to wield the axe on any erring member that falls short on any of its rules”.

Mr Onyema also advised the new clerks to stay relevant in today’s dynamic environment, emphasizing that continuous training is a tool that should not be underestimated. He noted that the Exchange established X-Academy, to provide education to

individuals who wish to improve their understanding of various aspects of the capital market. “I urge you to take advantage of this platform, especially the recently launched e-learning platform, to stay up to date on market developments”, he added.

Doyen of Stockbrokers, Alhaji Rasheed Yussuf called on the newly inducted Dealing Clerks to let their words be their bond saying “this would engender confidence and growth of your respective organizations and the capital market at large.”

Practitioners in the Nigerian, Integrated Marketing Communications industry have expressed divergent views over various pitch processes in the country. While some argued that a pitch was a sham and cover-up to pick a particular agency the client or the multinational company wanted to work with, others noted pitches were still credible and necessary in selecting capable agencies in the IMC mix.

The Managing Consultant – Market Space Nigeria, George Thorpe, said the practice of conducting pitches to select agencies by brand owners or multinationals still exists in Nigeria. He, however, pointed out that pitches were done based on the segments of the market, explaining that it was not all segments that require clients calling for pitches.

Asked if clients and multinationals still call for pitches, he said: “Yes, they do but for some segments of the market. When you say market, you have to break it down because there are some segments that don’t need a pitch.”

According to him, pitches are either conducted or not depending on what the needs of that market segment are while taking cognisance of the role of man-know-man in a pitch process.

In his words: “I said that depending on what the needs of that segment are. If it is a man-knowman-segment, you will just organise yourself accordingly if that also fits your own ethical posture. There are some clients or agencies that would say for ethical reasons; I won’t do a man-know-man business.”

Corroborating Mr Thorpe’s assertions, the immediate past President of the Experiential Marketers Association of Nigeria (EXMAN), Kehinde Salami, affirmed that pitches still hold in Nigeria, stressing that pitches take place every week or month in the country.

He pointed out that pitches were seen as avenues that clients and multinationals use to score and know the best agency they want to work with that can solve their marketing problems.

According to him, the issue of man-know-man in winning pitches does not come into play as clients and multinationals are driven by selecting agencies that can deliver value to them.

In his words: “I think it is becoming increasingly clear that where value lies is what multinationals and companies are increasingly looking for and from my own personal experience and the agencies 4that l have spoken with I think that is more overriding than the man-know-man issue.

“You may have the man-knowman issue cropping up when it comes to tactical campaigns but not in all strategic projects.”

Debunking their claims, the Project General Abelinis Limited, Deji Orunkoyi, pointed out that his agency had stopped attending pitches because it is a sham and cover-up to pick a particular agency that the client already knew they would work with. Mr. Orunkoyi, however, added that the only pitch he found worthy in all his years of working in the IMC space was the pitch conducted 12 years ago by the Nigerian Bottling Company Limited.

Buhari group seeks probe of CUPP over alleged comments against Judiciary A political group, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has called for the investigation of Mr. Imo Ugochinyere of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) over his statement seeking to compel the judiciary to do his group’s bidding and declare the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as President of Nigeria.

The BMO said the statement is a subtle call for rebellion against the judiciary and the Nigerian State, and must be addressed seriously by the nation’s law enforcement agencies.

This is even as the group has alleged that the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Presidential Election Tribunal that its witnesses were attacked on their way to Abuja from Zamfara, which has been debunked by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), is a reflection of the party’s lack of a moral compass, its zero values and a worrisome desperation.

Making the calls in two separate press statements signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) said Ugochinyere’s call was an incitement, calling for rebellion against the processes of the judiciary, and seeking that Nigeria is plunged into chaos.

This, according to the group, must not be treated with kids gloves by the nation’s security agencies.

“Are there no law enforcement agencies in the country? Is this not a prima facie call to rebellion and anarchy? Are we going to wait for hired thugs to attack the judiciary before

1

we see where the PDP and Atiku are headed to?

“BMO finds the call by the ‘rogue’ group CUPP, seeking that the Supreme Court declare Atiku President as a joke taken too far. It subtly calls for anarchy and must not be tolerated by the Nigerian State.

“The judiciary has its processes, President Buhari was declared the winner in a free and fair election. The closest loser, Atiku Abubakar, who was far behind him with a margin of nearly 4 million votes has challenged Buhari’s victory in court. Atiku must, therefore, submit himself to the processes of the court and not use ‘charlatan’ groups to call for a rebellion against the Nigerian state.

“The court processes are not influenced by third parties who have no business in the arena. CUPP’s satellite relationship with Atiku is no ground for it to make such seditious remarks against the judiciary, on a matter that is already in court. Justice is a matter of evidence, material facts and law not anarchy, not chaos, not up-ending the system!”

BMO therefore called on the country’s security agencies to quickly swoop on Ugochinyere and investigate the intent of his alleged subtle call for anarchy and rebellion against the judiciary and the Nigerian state.

Also speaking on the claim by the PDP at the Presidential Election Tribunal that its witnesses were attacked on their way to Abuja from Zamfara, the BMO accused the PDP of extending its bad habit of deception to the courtroom by bracingly lying to the court that its witnesses were attacked when nothing of that sort ever happened.

Though Obasanjo played role in creating current challenges, don’t ignore his counsel, Ohaneze tells Buhari Stories by Patrick Okohue The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari –led administration not to jettison the advise of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his recent open letter to the President over the current state of insecurity in the country.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo however urged the Federal Government to address the fundamental issues raised by the ex-Nigerian leader.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the group, Chuks Ibegbu, who spoke to newsmen Wednesday in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, however lashed out at Obasanjo, claiming that the exPresident, was part of the problems currently bedeviling Nigeria.

Ibegbu pointed out that despite Obasanjo’s letter to the Buhariled presidency over insecurity in the land, the implementation of the 2014 national confab report

2

remains the only solution to the economic and security challenges currently ravaging the country.

According to him, “The concern of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo cannot be dismissed easily, because, what is happening in this country today is worrisome. No Nigerian that is not apprehensive of what is happening in the country, security wise.

“But, I want to be dispassionate about this. Obasanjo himself was contributory to the current problems of Nigeria. Obasanjo was a product of the leadership cacophony that has ravaged this country in the past thirty to forty years. Not everybody that have the courage to write the letter.

This is the second letter he is writing to President Buhari-led administration. I want to thank him for that.

“And I want to call on the present leadership in the country not to dismiss the letter. Look at the merits, some of the points outlined in that letter, and also, see the areas that need to be addressed. They

should not politicise it. Nigeria government and its citizens look at the genuine aspect of his letter.

The critical aspect of his letter that can be addressed, and Buhari government should look into it.

“They should not throw away the water with bath-tub. In as much as Obasanjo is part and parcel of the challenges this country is passing through both during military and civilian regime, which he was part of. We are aware of the third term saga. We are aware of so many other misfortunes Nigeria passed through, during his regime.

“So, the seed of what we are passing through now was laid

by Obasanjo and thereafter. But, nobody should dismiss his advice.

The Buhari-led government should not look at it as another Obasanjo letter. Government should look into it, so that the insecurity challenges, the challenges of the economy, the challenges of over population, the challenges of killings and the challenges of killer herdsmen are addressed.”

Former Barcelona, PSG star close to Arsenal move

Afcon: Nigeria have forgotten about Algeria loss – Pascal

Nigeria team coordinator Patrick Pascal has stressed that the Nigerian team have forgotten about their loss to Algeria and are fully focused on their Africa Cup of Nations third/fourth-place playoff against Tunisia.

The Super Eagles were beaten 2-1 through a stoppage-time winner by Riyad Mahrez, and Pascal admitted they were

disappointed to lose the way they did.

Former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star Dani Alves is close to a move to Arsenal, according to report.

The Sun reported that Alves is prepared to take a huge pay cut to join The Gunners but still wants up to £200k-a-week wages.

The 36-year-old is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain last month and he fancies a move to the Emirates under the guidance of Samba star.

Manchester City is interested in the services of the right-back but the presence on his fellow Brazilian

player Danilo prevents the deal, the Premier League Champions will only go for Alves if Danilo is asked to find another club for the upcoming season.

Alves played under Pep Guardiola and Emery in Barcelona and Paris Saint-German respectively, he is open to working with either of the managers again if he has the opportunity, Tottenham Hotspur is also monitoring the development.

The defender captained Brazil to the Copa America title last few weeks.

Serbian press crown Novak Djokovic ‘King of Tennis’

The Serbian press on Monday proclaimed Novak Djokovic “king of tennis” with the “heart of a hero” after he claimed his fifth Wimbledon title beating eight-time champion Roger Federer.

The 32-year-old Serbian saved two match points as he took his Grand Slam tally to 16, four off Federer’s overall record in the longest final in the tournament’s history on Sunday.

“Novak, King of Tennis,” read the Blic daily paper frontpage headline.

“The fifth Crown for the King,” echoed the Vecernje Novosti paper.

“He certainly did not play his best tennis but he knew how to handle the key moments due to his main weapon, his mental strength,” Blic commented.

Djokovic, contrary to his habits, “did

not show any emotion during the whole match” which lasted 4 hours and 57 minutes, it said.

The Danas daily paper said the match offered the public “all that can be seen in a perfect tennis match… suspense, drama and a happy ending … for Djokovic”.

Newspapers stressed that the world number who is now level on five Wimbledon titles with Bjorn Borg is the first man in 70 years to win the title after recovering from two match points down.

“One has to be honest and note that Federer played impeccably. Most of the time he was the better player on the court. Two missed match points are unbelievable. But, here, he missed them,” the paper said.

For the Informer tabloid, Djokovic

won “against Federer and the public” cheering for the Swiss. The Politika daily paper said that “all was against Djokovic” during Sunday’s match.

An opponent with the “record number of Wimbledon trophies, two match points, the entire public backing his rival, the statistics practically all favourable to the Swiss and (Djokovic) lacking his best shots most of the time,” it said.

“It is with the heart of a hero that Djokovic won this final, one of the most dramatic,” in the tournament’s history, Politika concluded.

Despite being outplayed by the 37-year-old Swiss for large parts of the knife-edge encounter, Djokovic triumphed 7-6 (7/5), 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 1312 (7/3).

2019 AFCON: Ighalo’s goal secures third-place for Nigeria

Odion Ighalo’s third minute goal gave Nigeria a 1-0 win over Tunisia in their third-place playoff at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Wednesday in Cairo.

The 30-year-old forward, who is now the tournament’s top scorer with five goals, was gifted an easy tapin following a Tunisian defensive mix-up at the Al Salam Stadium.

Jamilu Collins’ cross from the left was poorly parried

by goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifa against the legs of defender Yassine Meriah.

The defender tried to stop it from going over the line before Ighalo pounced to give Nigeria a third minute lead.

It proved a costly blunder for Tunisia, who lost Sunday’s semi-final in extra time to Senegal in similar circumstances.

Ben Cherifa attempted to make up for his error with some good saves in the

second half.

He first denied Samuel Chukwueze’s left-footed shot just after the hour mark, before saving two efforts from substitute Samuel Kalu in stoppage time.

Nigeria, who dominated the game, have now won the bronze medal at eight different Cup of Nations’ tournaments.

Sepp Blatter: FIFA’s move on CAF ‘colonialist’, illegal Former president Sepp Blatter has said the decision to appoint secretary general Fatma Samoura as the ‘Fifa General Delegate for Africa’ is colonialist and flouts Fifa rules.

Last month, football’s world governing body made the move in a bid to improve governance within the Confederation of African Football (Caf).

“This can be considered as a new aspect of colonialism,” the Swiss told BBC Sport in a statement.

“Fifa’s direct intervention to Caf and sending Mrs Samoura as a kind of ‘supervisor’ ignores the statutes of the federation.

“To recall, confederations are not members of Fifa. Only the national associations are.”

Caf’s Executive Committee (ExCo) is set to discuss Samoura’s looming arrival when it meets in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Wednesday.

Despite previous claims by both Fifa and Caf that her appointment was ‘unanimously’ agreed by the latter’s Executive Committee, there is still believed to be opposition by certain members of the 22-man board.

BBC Sport report this opposition could be dropped if Samoura, who is set to start her six-month role – renewable if both Caf and Fifa agree to it – from 1 August, would answer to the ExCo rather than Fifa president Gianni Infantino and Caf president Ahmad, as previously mooted in a memo.

Should the latter scenario play out,

Samoura and her team of advisors would sit above the ExCo in terms of any decision-making.

“It seems that only Tanzania’s Leodegar Tenga realises the consequences of this action,” added Blatter, who ran Fifa between 1998 and 2015.

“He warns the Caf Executive Committee not to agree to the appointment of Mrs Samoura.”

Blatter was referencing Caf ExCo member Tenga since comments the latter made on a private WhatsApp group with Caf President Ahmad and fellow ExCo members were leaked to the media last month.

While there was an agreement ‘in principle … to the cooperation between Fifa and Caf’, Tenga wrote, ‘we also agreed

that Exco members would be given time to go through the proposed text and come up with the details.’

During the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, Caf secretary general Mouad Hajji outlined the advantages he believes Samoura will bring to the organisation.

“This is a great opportunity for Caf to benefit from her expertise,” he told reporters.

“Madame Fatma will arrive with a group of experts, so this will only speed up the process of reform being led by President Ahmad and the ExCo with principles such as good governance, transparency and fairness.

“So we see all this in a very positive way.”

Barcelona sell Marc Cucurella to Getafe just hours after re-signing him from Eibar

Barcelona have agreed to sell left-back Marc Cucurella to Getafe just a day after they brought him back from Eibar.

Sources close to the Catalan club have confirmed to Goal that Cucurella will seal a permanent move to their Liga rivals in a deal worth up to €10 million (£9m/$11m).

That will see Ernesto Valverde’s side make a profit on a player they confirmed they had resigned from Eibar on Tuesday for €4m.

An official announcement is expected later on Wednesday, with Getafe seeing off interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and AC Milan to sign the 20-year-old.

Getafe finished the 201819 campaign in fifth place in La Liga, meaning they secured Europa League qualification for the upcoming campaign.

That played a big part in Cucurella deciding to join the Madrid-based club, where he is likely to be given more exposure to the first

team than he would have had at Barca, who already possess Jordi Alba in that position.

The decision to sell the former Spain youth international does mean that Barca will look to recruit an alternative back-up option for the left side of defence, with Real Betis defender Junior Firpo on their radar.

The 22-year-old made 24 appearances in Spain’s top flight for Betis last season and any deal for the defender is likely to include Juan Miranda heading in the opposite direction.

It remains to be seen if Barca will make any further additions in the summer transfer window having already splashed out on Antoine Griezmann in a deal worth €120m (£107m/$134m) from Atletico Madrid.

Frenkie de Jong has also arrived from Ajax and, while Neymar remains a target, Paris Saint-Germain are refusing to sell the Brazilian for anything less than the €222m (£200m/$249m) they paid to sign him from the Catalans.

AS reported on Tuesday

that Barca had indeed made a bid worth €40m (£36m/$45m) plus Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele for the forward that had been rejected by the Parisians.

Sources close to the Liga champions have told Goal that, despite Barca’s interest and the 27-year-old’s desire to re-join them, he is yet to meet the stipulations set when their interest was first established in November 2018.

That includes the acceptance that he made a mistake in leaving Catalunya for Paris in the first place, that he agrees to a wage cut when the time comes to negotiate a contract and that he drops various legal proceedings against the club.

Barca get their pre-season schedule underway with a meeting with Chelsea in Japan on July 23, before facing Vissel Kobe four days later.

Their 2019-20 La Liga campaign kicks off on August 16 with an away fixture against Athletic Club.

Osoba’s cold wars and last laugh

Sports THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019

VOL. 3

NO. 994

N100

Times Guest Columnist

By Louis Odion

Growing up, he flirted with boxing.

We see a glimpse of that aspiration in the blurry picture of a puny ten-year-old raising a guard in over-sized gloves on page 176 of the book.

But if any portrait is framed by the chronology of the many storms weathered, hurdles surmounted, adversities endured and foes conquered in Chief Olusegun Osoba’s new autobiography, it is undoubtedly that of a stellar marathoner whose secret is an uncommon fortitude.

If forbearance exalted him in almost six-decades-long career in journalism and politics, even more remarkable is the temperance summoned in the rendition of the trials and triumphs by the master story-teller.

In reliving the hard-earned victories, nowhere in “Battlelines – Adventures in Journalism and Politics” are we assailed by the slightest hint of gloating or triumphalism.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the recall of the emotionally bruising and psychologically devastating encounters with the troika of OBJ, OGD and Amosun in the combustible politics of his native Ogun State in the last two decades.

For the Akinrogun of Egbaland, there is surely more to a name. With “Olusegun” translating roughly as “the conqueror”, there can be no better evidence of a predestination to prevail over adversaries. That steely durability could only have resulted from a fortitude steeped in deep spiritualism cultivated early in life as a young boy who not only held on to the coattails of his evangelist uncle (Joseph Ayo Babalola) constantly on apostolic crusades, but also took to heart lessons from the sermons delivered. In literary theory, “imaginative omission” is making a far more significant statement by leaving unsaid words otherwise ironically the most expected.

To be precise, one of the enduring tales from the contemporary political folklore in Ogun is how a trusting Osoba fell cheaply for OBJ’s treachery and duplicity on the day of governorship polls of 2003. The story is told that while PDP infantrymen were busy laying siege to polling stations across Ogun as well as other five states in the South-west to enforce a forceful displacement of Alliance for Democracy (AD) by the ruling party in Abuja, foxy OBJ personally opted to adapt a martial tactic of decoy by suddenly paying an early morning visit to Osoba and, as usual, requesting his host prepare a feast. Who was a governor to decline a presidential request?

By time the gourmet and palmwine had been exhausted, as the story goes, the power rug had disappeared from under Osoba’s feet as well as four other Yoruba governors (except Lagos) in a poll the court later adjudged to have been massively rigged. By not confirming or denying that account in the memoirs, Osoba only nourishes the story.

Akinrogun only stops at recalling how, following the strong rumor of a Judas agenda, OBJ had sworn repeatedly before Afenifere leaders, Yoruba governors, ranking Obas and men of God of not harboring any intention to betray AD governors of his native South-west who had resolved to help him electorally in the then pending general polls by ensuring AD did not field a presidential candidate.

The trade-off was that “federal might” would not be deployed against the AD in the South-west in the other elections.

Complacent, the governors literally lowered

their guard, counting solely on the political charm that had delivered AD emphatically in 1999.

But how naive of them to have trusted a battle-hardened general!

Nonetheless, what the episode clearly reinforces is the image of OBJ as most traitorous and apostactic.

As events later proved, OBJ’s contradictions ensured that the political hegemony he sought to foist in Ogun collapsed within the next two electoral cycles.

Once divested of presidential powers in 2007, his own very adopted political son (Gbenga Daniel) began to assert himself and soon cut off the apron strings of a domineering progenitor. The coup de grace came in 2011 when now politically toothless OBJ could not deliver his daughter, Iyabo, seeking reelection to the senate. His electoral sterility in Ogun was finally confirmed this year when his anointed and in-law in the governorship polls could not even survive the game of intrigues that rocked Ogun PDP primaries.

As for OGD, it is perhaps also a measure of Osoba’s innate capacity to wear out a quarry with a combination of superior stratagem and mental stamina that the “imperial” governor who literally made Abeokuta a no-go-area for Akinrogun for eight harrowing years would be denied his most cherished desire at the end – foisting his surrogate as successor in 2011.

So obsessed with raw power and overtaken by a sense of self-importance at some point, preening OGD even famously made a joke of the title of “Akinrogun” (the worthy one who revels in fighting battles) to “Akinrogun-sa” (the warrior who absconds from battlefield).

But, of course, it would have been most unbecoming of a truly wise elder to divulge his battle secret to a younger quarry before the decisive duel.

With his anointed eventually crushed in the governorship contest by Amosun heavily backed by Osoba’s forces, OGD must have realized too late that he had rejoiced too early.

The same war manual invoked against OGD would seem to have been deployed effectively to checkmate Amosun who double-crossed Osoba almost as soon as he became governor in 2011. Again, like the biblical Job, Akinrogun had to switch to his forbearance mode for another eight years.

Enter the “Te Agba Loju” movement as the new resistance force in Ogun.

Indeed, while the party lasted, vain Amosun literally painted the town red and sought to remold any conceivable object in his own image. But there remained one big trouble with the borrowed political ensemble: the shirt fits while the trousers were oversize.

Expectedly, in the twilight of his tenure, Amosun had one last desire – to impose a successor. He boasted about his invincibility. But a calculating Akinrogun was busy perfecting his gameplan.

Braggadocio is for the political upstart. Only the truly gifted chessmaster knows that the ace is reserved as the endgame.

Eventually, Amosun was denied the pleasure of crowning his own successor as Osoba’s favorite won. In the memoirs, Osoba considers being addressed as “reporter” as the best accolade. His foray in the journalism realm is no less compelling.

To the younger ones who look up to this journalism titan for professional inspiration,

the Osoba signature is quite inimitable. His accustomed simplicity – this cosmopolitan playfulness – masks an awesome facility for national networking at a lightning speed to assemble facts to fleshen a story. That enigma finds expression in Akinrogun’s unique look – a countenance permanently oscillating between a grumpy frown and a mischievous smile.

For him, there is instinctive kinship with any member of the journalism fraternity, regardless of generation or echelon. And if he is still widely adored in media circles decades after quitting the editor’s perch, it is partly because of his accommodating airs and generosity of spirit to others.

I cite three instances by way of personal testimony. Sometime in 2004, when vacationing Akinrogun learnt I was visiting London, he insisted I must not leave the U.K without seeing him. On the appointed day, I took evening train and was too trusting of my skills as investigative journalist to dare imagine I could still locate his address in a gravely quiet neighborhood however late.

As I continued to count on my navigational skills even as dusk morphed to night, jocular Akinrogun was monitoring and directing my steps. After I had exhausted all my wits, Osoba, barely a year he stopped answering “Executive Governor” in Ogun, personally drove down to whisk me from the spot where I was marooned on a British night.

We joked all the way down to his home.

He teased that sleuthing tactics that might crack things up for a Lagos boy in Oshodi or Ajegunle were unlikely to apply in London.

His residence was a modest duplex which mortgage he started paying back in the 80s.

After a memorable evening, he again personally drove me back to the train station and gifted me a fat envelope to “shop for your wife and my grandchildren”.

When I turned 40 some years ago, Benita Obaze (of Bevista/Jevista fame) took it upon himself to host a reception in my honour in Ikoyi, Lagos. A mere text message from Obaze was enough invitation for Akinrogun. He didn’t consider me too “small” in status, accomplishments, age and every thing to honour me with the monumentality of his presence. He sat through the ceremony beside respected Pa Julius Akinlusi-Akinluyi of Juli Pharmacy (as chairman), from the beginning to the very end.

Of course, wherever and whenever he sights Tunji Bello, Kayode Komolafe and I together, he is always the first to acknowledge a quorum is formed for “OPEC” session, regardless of the recessionary onslaught of “shale gas” in recent times.

So, on behalf of the surviving members of “OPEC”, here is wishing Akinrogun happy 80th birthday.

Obaigbena @ 60 Mercurial, tireless, innovative, there can be no dispute about his preeminence in the pantheon of journalism greats in post-colonial Nigeria. Long before ICT solutions became commonplace, Nduka Obaigbena, the Prince of Owa kingdom in Delta State, had always pushed the Nigerian media faster than the leisurely pace it probably would have wished.

So, the torrents of plaudits on him in the past few days are well deserved indeed. Here is wishing The Duke happy 60th birthday.

Afcon: Nigeria have forgotten about Algeria loss – Patrick Pascal

Nigeria team coordinator Patrick Pascal has stressed that the Nigerian team have forgotten about their loss to Algeria and are fully focused on their Africa Cup of Nations third/fourth-place playoff against Tunisia.

The Super Eagles were beaten 2-1 through a stoppage-time winner by Riyad Mahrez, and Pascal admitted they were disappointed to lose the way they did.

Pascal revealed how the players were spoken to, in order to put the defeat behind them and concentrate

on the third-place game.

“It was an energy-sapping game and we didn’t deserve to lose the way we did,” Pascal told Goal.

“It was difficult for the players when we got to the hotel but things have calmed down a little now.

We had to do a lot of talking and psyching them up because they really wanted to play in the final.

“They have assured us that they won’t disappoint. It is our last chance and we want to utilize it very well. We know it is good for us to end the competition well.”

Manny Pacquiao camp denies Amir Khan claims over Saudi Arabia bout Manny Pacquiao has not signed a contract to take on Amir Khan in Saudi Arabia later this year in spite of claims that a deal has been agreed for the bout, the Filipino’s publicist has said.

Khan, who beat Australia’s Billy Dib in Jeddah on July 13 to win the WBC international welterweight title, said on Tuesday that he had agreed a deal to fight Pacquiao in Riyadh on Nov. 8.

The Briton told British media the clash with Pacquiao would happen even if the 40-year-old were to lose to American Keith Thurman in Las Vegas on Saturday.

“Manny has not signed any contract. As far as I know it has not even been discussed,” Pacquiao’s publicist Fred Sternberg told the BBC. “He has been in training camp for the past eight weeks, four in the Philippines and four in the

U.S., and he hasn’t met with Amir Khan during that time.”

Sternberg said he did not know what prompted Khan to make the claims.

“That’s a question you need to ask Amir Khan,” he said.

Khan had been slated to fight eight-division world champion Pacquiao two
