CBN acquires FG’s N12.4bn shares...

Continued from page 1

at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

Osinbajo described the event as a landmark in the privatisation journey of the country.

He said: “I am delighted to witness this signing of the sale of 12.4 billion shares of NSPMC Plc to the CBN. “I think this is an important event in our privatisation journey. Many, of course, will recall that in the past 30 years or so, over 140 publiclyowned companies have been privatised.

“This is, perhaps, one of the very largest that has been privatised so far.

“The very idea of selling public asset to credible investors is one that is fundamental to our economic philosophy.’’

The vice president said that security printing had taken new dimensions as it was no longer what it used to be.

According to him, there are new assets, new dimensions and new ideas and it is just the private sector that can really be at the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

“I think that particular union between the CBN and De La Rue-the technical partners is good; and we believe that as time goes on even better expertise will be drawn into the company.

“And we think that this is possibly one of the best moves that have occurred especially with respect to the National Security Printing and Minting

Company,’’ he said.

He expressed optimism that Nigeria would reap bountifully from the deal.

In his remark, CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, said that the capacity of the mint had increased and expanded and it produced all the currency that was needed in the country.

He said that the company’s capacity had been expanded to where it had idle capacity that could produce for other ECOWAS countries.

“We intend to embark on aggressive marketing to see to it that it not only produces for itself but also produces for other important stakeholders that may require its services in the area of currency printing.

“In the area of security document, we are working assiduously given the fact that the mint was in the past produced passports and produced visas and other very sensitive security documents.

“Our next phase is to see to it that the NSPM eventually begins the printing of the digital Nigerian passport. That request is already being granted.

“The board of the NSPMC will be meeting to see what else is needed to retool this company and ensure that it performs its responsibility,” he said.

Earlier in his remarks, the Director General, BPE, Mr. Alex Okoh, said he was pleased to report that CBN’s strategic investment in the company was a success achieving its objective of turning around the fortunes

of the company, returning it to profitability.

He said there were commendable indications of the progress recorded by NSPMC under the strategic engagement of CBN. “Following the expiration of the strategic investment period, the CBN indicated its strong intention to acquire the company on an arm’s length basis.

“The sensitive nature of the security printing and minting services rendered by the company included immigration and electoral materials.

“Accordingly, after a careful consideration of the pertinent issues, the Bureau made a proposal to the NCP to formalise the sale of 21 per cent of the Federal Government’s interest in the company to the CBN while government would retain an equity holding of 10.1 per cent.

“This proposal was approved by the council.

“Having received a professional advice from its financial and legal advisers and following a series of negotiations with CBN, an agreement was reached on the terms of the sale.

“I am pleased to announce that this transaction will contribute a net sum of over N17 billion to the treasury,’’ he said.

He said that the Federal Government was handing over to CBN a company with tremendous potential to achieve significant growth.

Buhari in Osun, seeks support for APC guber candidate, Oyetola Jide Oke, Osogbo The people of Osun State on Tuesday stood still for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) just as President Muhammadu Buhari urged the residents of the state to vote massively for the APC and its governorship flag bearer, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola during Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

There were people who wore aso ebi to the occasion while some others wore T- shirt designed with APC logo with Oyetola photograph on it.

The Osogbo Township Stadium, venue of the rally, was filled up with supporters and lovers of Oyetola, whom they were singing praises of as God sent.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who described Oyetola as the best man for the job, advised Osun residents to remain in the league of progressive states of Ogun, Lagos, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti which has just joined the Progressive train.

He said Oyetola is the only credible candidate that can continue with the good work

started by Governor Rauf Aregbesola eight years ago, saying the September 22 election affords the electorate the opportunity to continue with their destinies for the good in APC-led administration.

He said God has brought a blessed man, who is Gboyega Oyetola, adding that he will do Osun State a lot of good if elected governor and bring more development to their door steps.

The President said, “On September 22, don’t look back or side way, just look forward to a good future ahead of you by voting for Oyetola. APC is a party of progress. Let us vote for the APC in this election. APC will help Osun to develop more because no other political party can guarantee such development.”

Buhari and other APC leaders spoke in Osogbo on Tuesday during the official presentation of the APC governorship flag to Oyetola for the September 22 election.

The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomohle, while addressing the people, urged them to come out in their large number and vote for Oyetola and Alabi, who he described, as a team that would take Osun State higher if

given the opportunity to serve.

Oshiomhole said, “You have tested the APC and you have known that it is the best party to vote for in Saturday election.

Oyetola is the best man for the job. He will do Osun proud and restore honour and dignity to your state”.

Welcoming the President and other APC leaders to the state, the APC Chairman in Osun State, Prince Adegboyega Famodun, assured that nobody will be discriminated against in the state before, during and after the governorship polls if the party is voted into office.

Other dignitaries at the occasion included the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha; Ministers: Isaac Adewole (Health); Lai Mohammed (Information); Adebayo Shittu (Communications); Abdulraman Danbazzau (Interior); National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; APC State Governors: Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo); Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Akinwunmi Ambode (Lagos); Godwin Obaseki (Edo); Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano); Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna); Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) and other APC chieftains.

2019 polls get a boost, card reader now legalised Tunde Opalana & Henry Omunu, Abuja The National Assembly on Tuesday made vital adjustment to the Electoral Bill with the inclusion of the clause recommending the use of card reader for the conduct of the 2019 general elections.

But the lawmakers claimed that there was never a time the provision for card reader was expunged from any of the three previous version sent to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The parliament also agreed with observations raised

by President Buhari in the rejected third version of the 2018 Electoral Bill by effecting amendments on affected sections.

But a section which deals with added laws on commission of party logo on ballot papers was deleted.

This will put to rest power play between the two arms

of government over the reformation of the nation’s electoral process which has lingered for months.

The President had in his refusal to give assent to the third version of the amendment bill listed about 14 contentious areas in the 2010 Electoral Act (Amendment ) Bill 2018 that must be addressed by the National Assembly.

These observations were accordingly addressed in the 4th version of the bill adopted by the joint committee of the National Assembly on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday.

Chairman of the joint committee, Senator Suleiman Nazif (PDP, Bauchi North) while briefing journalists at the end of the committee meeting, said the affected sections are 9(1A, 9(B5), 18 (1-4), 19(4), 30(1), 31(1) and 31(7). Others are 36(3), 44(3-4), 67(a-d), 87(2), 87(14) and 1124.

While section 9(1A) deals with voters registers in electronic format and manual or hard copy format, section 18 (14) deals with process of replacement of voters card by the INEC on demand by voters which it states must not be done less than 30 days before election.

Section 36(3) of the adopted bill makes provision for constitutional way out on sudden death of candidate of political party in the course of election as it happened in 2016 Kogi gubernatorial election.

The section states: “If after the commencement of poll and before the announcement of the final result and declaration of a winner, the leading candidate dies, (a), the commission shall, being satisfied of the fact of the death, suspend the election for a period not exceeding 21 days. “(b) The political party whose candidate died may, if it intends to continue to participate in the election,

APC, CUPP differ over alleged attack on NASS Tunde Opalana and Tom Okpe, Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) have expressed divergent views over the claim of the CUPP that the APC is planning to attack the National Assembly while the APC also alleged that the leadership of the National Assembly under Senator Bukola Saraki is planning to prevent members of the National Assembly to reconvene as planned.

The CUPP had alleged that it has uncovered yet another plot by the APC-led Federal Government to attack the National Assembly with a ploy to put the nation’s democracy in jeopardy.

This CUPP also claimed that the APC’s fresh plot included the surreptitious filing of a suit and seeking out a compromised judge who will in controversial circumstances grant an ex-parte application directing that one third of the Senators/House members can demand to open either Chambers of the National Assembly.

The CUPP National spokesperson, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, said the coalition has been informed that the plot also includes invitation and detention of the leadership of the National Assembly by the Police just before the controversial injunction from a magistrate

court that will pave way for the unlawful and violent change of the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Coalition further alleged that some of the security agencies will provide security cover for the ‘coupists’ while a section of the media has been co-opted to churn out news and justification for such evil plots.

The CUPP spokesperson said, “This kind of desperation by the outgoing APC and Presidency can only be likened to the last kicks of a dying horse which usually gives it the hope that it will salvage the head which is already off. The ship of the APC is fast sinking and is obviously beyond redemption. Nigerians are daily convinced that that the APC was a mistake made in 2015 and are also resolved that they are a mistake to be corrected in 2019.

“It is worrisome that the party entrusted by Nigerians to provide leadership, growth and development for the country could in one plot compromise the judiciary, the legislature, the Police, the Department of State Services, the media and indeed all institutions of our democracy”.

The CUPP therefore placed Nigerians and all lovers of democracy on alert to watch out for the unfolding of this plot and called on the Presidency and the APC not to destroy the nation’s democracy.

But the APC in a statement signed on Tuesday in Abuja by the acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, faulted the claim of the CUPP that APC-led administration was planning to “attack” the National Assembly leadership, abuse court processes, among other allegations were grand plans to frustrate resumption of the lawmakers.

The statement reads in part: “Such crude practices are rejected templates of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which the so-called “Coalition” represents and definitely alien to the progressive APC-led administration.

“Again, we consider this new rounds of falsehood by the sponsored “Coalition” as a lastditch attempt by the outgoing and minority National Assembly leadership of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki; his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara to prevent the reconvening of the National Assembly and continue a minority-rule in an APC-dominated federal legislature.

“We are in a democracy and are governed by laws. A few cannot hold the legislative arm of government to ransom through their selfish political games. The National Assembly must be reconvened immediately to attend to crucial and pending legislative business. The majority must be allowed to lead”.

Prof Yakubu

conduct a fresh primary within 7 days of the death of its candidate and submit a new candidate to replace the dead candidate. “(c) Subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), the commission shall continue with the election, announce the final result and declare a winner”.

Nazif said that at no time was provision for usuage of card reader deleted in any of the versions of the electoral bills.

According to him, the adopted 4th electoral bill is a harmonised version of the 2nd and 3rd one.

The Daily Times recalls that the first version of the bill forwarded to President Buhari

in February this year by the federal lawmakers was rejected as a result of introduction of new sequence of election provided for in section 25(1) of the bill.

The second version forwarded to the President in June after removal of the new sequence of elections provisions, was outrightly vetoed by the President by not considering it in anyway before it got constitutionally expired on his table on the 26th of July, 2018.

But the new version has to be approved by the committee of the whole before it could be forwarded again to the President for his assent.

Buhari calls for support to flood victims Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed solidarity with Nigerians in several states affected by flood disaster and directed all Federal government agencies “to use their authority and resources to assist the victims affected by the natural disaster.”

The new presidential directive was conveyed on Tuesday through the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Engr.

Mustapha Maihaja.

By the delegation of his authority to declare a National Disaster in response to the increasing threats of destruction by floods, the

NEMA DG is mandated to coordinate a national response to emergency situations.

In doing so, the NEMA boss is empowered to direct any or all agencies of government to use their authority and resources to offer assistance to victims affected by the floods.

The President requested that any such agency that failed to assist should be reported to him.

Buhari expressed his sympathies to all families who lost property and their loved ones arising from the floods.

He said that the loss of lives cannot be compensated, assuring Nigerians that his administration will do all it can to minimize the suffering and misery of citizens affected by the disaster.

2019 Presidency: Rivers PDP leaders to collectively decide aspirant to support, Wike says Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

As the primaries for the 2019 presidential election approaches, the entire leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State are warming up to collectively choose the party’s aspirant to support.

Speaking in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, Governor Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike of Rivers State

made this known, stating that the direction of Rivers delegates would not be determined by one person.

He said: “At the end of the day, the leadership of the party will meet at the state level and decide where we are heading to? Then we will all be together.

No one individual can do it alone. So, Rivers State will move as a team, I will listen to the leadership of the party, then we will move forward.

“Who are we going to

support? Where is the national survey? Who is more popular?

This is how politics is played. I challenge any of the presidential aspirants from the North who has gone to other governors and they have given them campaign coordinators, I challenge them to mention if I have given them one name,” he posited.

He said that the decision on the way that Rivers State would go would not be determined by sentiments, but on the overriding interest of Rivers

State.

The governor said: “Can anybody say I have met him one day to say support so, so, and so presidential aspirant? People have been coming here and I told them I will not, and I will never, nominate anybody to be a liaison to any of the presidential aspirants. Not one person, I challenge them.

“Atiku Abubakar came here, Sule Lamido came here, Makarfi came here, Saraki came here, Tambuwal came here, Ibrahim

Decide political cases on merit, shun corruption, CJN tells judges Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, on Tuesday warned judges in the country to avoid corruption in the discharge of their duties by ensuring that their decisions in political matters are based on merit, laws and not influenced by external forces.

Onnoghen, who gave the charge in Abuja at the opening of the 34th Annual Judges Conference of the Federal High Court in Abuja, urged the judges through their judgments to ensure that democracy is enthroned in the country.

Represented by a Justice of the Supreme Court (JSC), Justice Inyang Okoro, the CJN remarked that with the forthcoming 2019 general elections, courts will be flooded with litigation and as such, Judges as umpire, must stamp out corruption in all

ramifications in the cases that will be assigned to them.

The CJN said, “Let me emphasize that this Judges Annual Conference is a stock taking event, especially now that tempo of political activities will be on the increase, we as Judges must do everything to nurture democracy by cleaning up our house and dump the toga of corruption.

“In the discharge of our functions, we must strive to steer the nation to transparency and good governance and stem the tide of bad governance by avoiding external influence in our justice delivery.

“In the next few months, court will be flooded with litigation and as judicial officers, we must resolve all political issues on merit, devoid of external influence”.

The CJN further urged judges to perform their judicial functions in line with the

provisions of Section 251 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), stressing that Judges must rise up to the coming challenges by cleaning up their houses and dump the toga of corruption.

Reiterating that respect for the rule of law is pivotal to survival of democracy, Onnoghen pleaded with the Judges to carry out their judicial functions expeditiously and stem the tide of bad governance.

In his welcome address, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu AbdulKafarati, reiterated his Monday directive stopping judges from granting ex parte orders on political cases.

He advised new judges in particular not to grant ex parte order in other cases unless in very exceptional cases.

He said, “I believe that it is better to hear all sides before a decision is taken and with that there will be less controversy in

the adjudication process”. He also called for extra care “in handling these political cases because of their nature”.

“Actions or inactions by a judge no matter how honestly done is capable of misinterpretation. It is therefore necessary and important that we guard our lions in order not to be caught unawares,”he added.

Justice AbdulKafarati expressed the hope that the appointment of nine new judges into the Bench of the Federal High Court would help in disposing off over 100,000 pending cases before the court across the country.

The CJ also disclosed that the conference offered unique opportunity for judges to take stock and appraise their judicial functions in the previous year and to resolve knotty legal issues that arose after the previous legal year ceremonies.

Heritage Bank partners NPA to support improved ports infrastructure in maritime sector Omotolani Oseni, Lagos The maritime sector through Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) is set to get improved infrastructural boost as Heritage Bank Plc revealed plans to provide financing for building critical maritime infrastructures and other aspects of transport sector projects once policies driving the projects are well structured.

The MD/CEO of Heritage Bank, Ifie Sekibo disclosed this as one of the panelists at the day-one of the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH) Africa regional conference, themed, “African Ports & Hinterland Connectivity,” holding in Abuja.

He also stated that banks are willing to provide the necessary financing and support but the operators must be clear on where they are headed.

“The government will need to develop policies that will manage infrastructure programmes and we as bankers will give support. We are sure we can support, and we are sure going to support,” he said.

He added that the banking

industry must stake in financing but we must have an understanding on what the industry wants.

He said Heritage Bank decided to sponsor and attend the conference to understand the focus of the industry.

He also said the banks are willing to offer, and are working on the possibilities of developing long term loans with lower interest rates for operators in the industry.

Although “there is the cabbotage fund and shippers are taking advantage of it. We are still struggling with the kind of long term funding shippers need to attain the level of optimization they need and talk is in progress. We are engaging the relevant stakeholders to make sure we get loans at cheaper interest rates for them but that can’t happen overnight” he noted.

“The commercial rates today are in the neighbourhood of 20 to 23 percent but the cabbotage is between 9 to 13 percent interest rate.

But how many of them have been able to borrow from the cabbotage funds given the requirements?” he queried.

He however added that the fund is even for just ship building, thus

other aspects of intermodal transport infrastructure to decongest the ports will require external financing.

Speaking earlier, President Muhammadu Buhari advised that every port should have the complement of rail infrastructure.

“To complement the improvement in trade facilitation, we have improved on upgrading infrastructure. Our projection is that by the end of 2021, we will have standard gauge railway across the main North-South trading route.

He said the same level of serious attention is being given to the improvement of road infrastructure, even presently about 25 major highways and 44 roads are under construction across the six geo-political zones with simulation activities on Nigerian inland waterways. “Major inland river channels are being dredged with adequate channel markings for ease of navigation all the way through the Eastern and Northern parts of the country. That is the only way to go if we plan to remain competitive in the maritime industry,” the President disclosed.

The Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi affirmed that

federal government was committed to the multi-modal system of transportation from all her ports by improving on the extension of the railways to facilitate the ease of transportation from ports to hinterlands.

“We have started test operations in Warri and other places two months ago. We have reconstructed some railways for standard gauge to further open up the nation’s hinterlands. With the development of dry ports in Kano and Kaduna, with direct rail connection, cargoes and containers now easily transmit to Northern Nigeria. This also extends to Chad, Niger Republic in our determination to promote transshipment of cargoes to Niger Republic.

“We are also partnering with the government of Niger Republic in the reconstruction of Maadi, Niger Republic, from Kano to promote regional motivation of trade,” he said.

The MD of NPA, Hadiza BalaUsman, said that the development of the African continent was to a large extent, tied to optimal exploitation of its vast maritime resources.

Shekarau came here, Attahiru Bafarawa came here. Let one person say I have ever said take Joseph, take John, take John Bull, take Beatrice as your campaign coordinator like others do. I don’t deceive people, I will not deceive people, and I will not deceive my people,” the governor stated.

He said that nobody would blindfold the people of Rivers State into supporting a presidential aspirant with compromised credentials. He explained that some of the presidential aspirants were under the sponsorship of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said: “But one thing you must take home is that I cannot be misled. I cannot be blindfolded. I know what’s going on. I know what the presidency and the APC are doing to plant a presidential aspirant in the PDP. “I have not even mentioned how a very senior official of a security agency in the country told me which of the candidates to support! You can imagine me as a governor and the head of a security agency would tell me to support one or two persons.

Head of security agency who is in a government controlled by the APC! Come on, you direct me on who to support for president?” he asked.

Governor Wike reiterated that the alleged plot by the APC

Federal Government to use the security agencies to rig elections in Rivers State in 2019 would fail.

He continued: “It won’t happen in my state, but I know they will kill a lot of persons.

I can tell you they will kill a lot of us. No problem, this is the sacrifice we have to make for democracy to thrive.”

Governor Wike stated that he would have nothing to do with godfather politics, pointing out that when he left office in 2023, the people of Rivers State would collectively choose his successor.

He said: “I’m on record and my friends, my colleagues, they know me and I have told them. I am a student of history, mention who has survived it. That you put your life, you put your blood to bring somebody. So as a student of History, I know it does not work that way.

“I will do what I have come to do, to serve my people and when my time has come to an end, those who want to run, let them run. Let the people of Rivers State decide my successor.

And that is the problem we are having, people want to continue to be Godfathers, and that is the problem we are having without development”.

He recalled that those struggling to play godfather were doing so to protect themselves from criminal prosecution.

Ban on smart phones: Secondus accuses INEC of alleged rigging plans Tunde Opalana, Abuja The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Prince Uche Secondus, has condemned the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ban the use of smart phones at polling booths, saying that the commission is allegedly perfecting rigging formular for the ruling All Progressives, APC. Secondus, who spoke during an interactive session with the party’s leaders in Bayelsa State on Tuesday, said that Nigerians must rise up to frustrate all the rigging strategies being perfected between INEC and the APC. The National Chairman said that the INEC decision on the use of smart phone, is a deliberate plan to kill means of gathering evidence against rigging arrangements which is being fine tuned and tested in Ekiti and Osun states.

According to a statement from Secondus media office and signed by Ike Abonyi, the PDP National Chairman said that the regime of APC is killing Nigeria and its citizens .

Secondus said, “They have

borrowed over N11 trillion yet there is nothing to show, hunger is ravaging the land and people are dying daily across the country”.

He added that critical stakeholders and the international community are worried at the debt profile of the present administration which has risen to such astronomical level amidst huge corruption in the system.

He said, “ I crave your indulgence to stand up against all the evil plots of the APC by collecting your PVC and using it judiciously to vote them out in all elections in 2019.”

Secondus said that the country is under siege with the APC government harassing and intimidating critical organs of the government, the Judiciary, the Legislature and individuals in its mission to cow and suppress dissenting voices to their undemocratic activities.

The PDP national chairman, who was accompanied to the interactive meeting by the state Governor Seriake Dickson and the South South Vice Chairman of the party, finally commended the people for their commitment to the party and urged them to conduct themselves in the most civilized manner as demanded by the rules of democracy.

The Akwa Ibom state branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has demanded for the immediate implementation of the State Health Insurance Law to cater for heath needs of poor people in the state.

State Chairman of NMA, Dr. Nsikak Nyoyoko made the appeal when he led members of the association on a courtesy visit to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Onofiok Luke at the assembly complex Uyo. Dr. Nyoyoko explained that the implementation of the law would reduce the sufferings of poor people in the state who cannot afford healthcare services, adding this category of persons fall among the 89 percent of Nigerians who live beyond poverty line in the country.

He decried the state government’s neglect of doctors’ welfare particularly the non-payment o 14 months salaries arrears owed doctors between November 2014 and December, 2015.

$500m CEXIM financing facility will stimulate economic growth - BOI MD

L-R: Senator Abdul Ningi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Gbong Gwom Jos, Dr. Jacob Gyang Buba and Director General of Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, during Atiku’s courtesy visit to the royal father in Jos, Plateau State... on Tuesday.

2019: ECOWAS moves to mitigate conflicts, disputes Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has taken strategic steps to prevent perceived conflicts and disputes that might arise ahead of the country’s crucial general elections in February 2019.

Speaking in Jos, the Plateau State capital on Tuesday, at a 3-day workshop, the Head of Mediation and Facilitation Division of ECOWAS, Mr Ebenezer Aseidu, said the main objective of ECOWAS is to strengthen the capacity of key stakeholders in their efforts at

preventing and mitigating potential pre and post election related violence, so as to ensure peaceful electoral outcomes.

The workshop tagged: Using Dialogue and Mediation as Tools for Preventing and Mitigating Election Related Disputes and Conflicts, was organised in collaboration with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR).

Aseidu however said the first of such workshop begins in Plateau, hosting the North-central geopolitical zone, but will be followed by others planned for the rest of the country.

“Our next stop will be in Benin

City, Edo State hosting South-South geopolitical zone and by the middle of next month, we intend to proceed from there to other locations in November and December this year”, he said.

Earlier, the Director General, Plateau Peace Building Agency (PPBA), Joseph Lengmang, said to achieve best results in conflict management the best approach is being proactive.

“We should be able to involve strategic initiative, elections can generate tension, so strategy to avert such occurrence is very apt”, Lengmang said.

The $500 million financing facility secured from the Export Import Bank of China (CEXIM) is another milestone in Federal Government’s drive to stimulate economic growth, investments and provide jobs for Nigerians.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Industry (BOI), Mr. Olukayode Pitan, said on Tuesday that the move was a great step forward to economic recovery.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the facility was for the establishment of modular refineries and flare gas recovery programme in the country.

“The establishment of modular refineries is part of FG’s plan to end importation of petroleum products and to discourage illegal oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta region.

“To date, a total of 38 operating licences have already been granted by the Federal Government to establish modular refineries in the Niger Delta,’’ Pitan said.

Bichi, DSS appointment and task ahead

Jimoh Ademola

When Yusuf Magaji Bichi, the 62-year- old spy chief from Kano state, was announced as the new Director General of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS), the groundswell of opposition wasn’t unexpected. Nigeria, a country known for large divisions along, ethnic and religious lines, has often sacrificed competence on the altar of regional and religious bias.

But, seemingly against the odds, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari announced Bichi as his preferred choice-sparking off protest from the Southern and Middle-Belt leaders, and other stakeholders.

A Wikipedia description of the security agency’s responsibilities show that “...It is primarily responsible for intelligence gathering within the country and for the protection of senior government officials, particularly the President and state governors...”

Suffices to say that, successive presidents have only appointed those they know would be loyal to their cause. Past trends and findings have also shown that since 1990, only one spy chief of northern extraction

has occupied this office, until the appointment of the former Director General Lawal Daura. For emphasis, here is the list of past director generals of the organization: 1990-1992: Chief Albert Horsfall; 1992-1998: Chief Peter Nwaoduah; 1998-2007: Chief Kayode Are; 2007-2010: Afakriya Gadzama; 2010-2015: Ita Ekpeyong; 2015-2018: Lawal Daura.

Make no mistake, Nigeria’s unique characteristics make it imperative to observe all the elements of balance - but, there are issues that must be absolved from politics and regional sentiments, and security is one.

On security, more so, the security of the President, competence, and confidence must trump all other considerations.

Bichi comes to the job with an equal dose of competence and enjoys the president’s confidence. The new spy chief who retired from service in 2017 as the director of administration and finance had served in various capacities, spanning a period of 35 years in active service – making him a repository of knowledge on local

intelligence matters.

The priority therefore should be, what lies ahead of Bichi in this new task.

The task before the new chief is clearcut – fix the depreciating reputation of the agency, among other things.

Mr. Bichi is not unaware of the task ahead and has upon the assumption of office, restated in unambiguous terms his desire to take the service to a new height.

Upon assumption, he set forth his agenda while addressing the management, at the national headquarters of the services. The director general called for members’ support, while also calling for stronger ties among the staff. More encouraging was his pledge to work with every member of staff towards building a formidable team.

In his words, “my vision is to build a well disciplined, professional and highly motivated DSS with particular reference to staff welfare.”

He also implored the staff to refocus their intelligence collection efforts in this direction. His words were reassuring as they were soothing,

especially as the country goes into the 2019 election. It cannot contain the consequence of a divided agency.

He also restated his commitment towards supporting the government’s agenda on rebuilding the economy, stamping out insecurity and fighting corruption.

I am quick to acknowledge that the Southern and Middle-Belt elders are within their rights to protest, as equal stakeholders in the Nigerian project, but in my opinion such protest must be situated within the bounds of acceptable standards across the globe.

No known leader globally has ever appointed spy chiefs whose loyalty are in doubt. Nigeria should not be different.

Ever wondered why United States President, Donald Trump defended his pick for the CIA top job, Gina Haspel?

He knew he could trust her to get the job done.

Mr. Bichi rose through the ranks and spent 35 years in service unblemished, and the President trusts him to do the job. Let’s support him to get the job done.

Nigerian political godfathers at war (2)

Emmanuel Onwubiko

In 2015, the then erstwhile military head of state who has continuously been recycled within the corridors of powers from the 1970’s, General Muhammadu Buhari was sponsored by top shots and godfathers such as Senator Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, Bukola Saraki and several other rebellious governors who moved from the ruling PDP to form a coalition called All Progressives Congress.

TAs preparation begins for next year’s poll, the influences of these political godfathers have even become much more forceful even as in many instances, these godfathers are currently waging political battles of supremacy with those surrogates and stooges they imposed as political office holders in all the mainstream and regional parties.

In the ruling All Progressives Congress, even the incumbent picked up nomination form of N45 Million bought and paid for by some political godfathers who detailed their errand boys and girls to deliver the forms at the presidential villa. A story was even told that the errand boys/girls who delivered the Presidential nomination form to President Muhammadu Buhari were given generous transportation allowances from the Presidential treasury.

However, the incumbent president has behind him all those same political godfathers who had bankrolled his first campaign prior to his pyrrhic victory in 2015. The PDP parade too many of those political godfathers who hitherto conspired in 2015 to deliver victory to Buhari. These godfathers are battling for presidential ticket in PDP because their erstwhile party APC has shut them out and has conceded the ticket to the incumbent.

There is however too many dimensions of political battles

between political godfathers and their hitherto political sons and stooges.

In Lagos, Akwa Ibom and Kano and to a large extent, in Sokoto, the political godfathers are baying for blood and for a perfect revenge of perceived lack of loyalty by these stooges they had supplanted in offices.

Mr. Godswill Akpabio who won election as senator to represent his side of Akwa Ibom had installed someone perceived or alleged to be his business front who was a top executive of Zenith Bank Mr. Udom Emmanuel as his successor in office as governor. For three years, rumours of discord between the godfather Mr. Akpabio and his god son Mr. Emmanuel became sensational.

The battle between the Akwa Ibom godfather and his godson led to what is now an open confrontation following the departure and defection of the godfather to the party that produced the president which also calls the shots regarding who would be arrested and prosecuted for alleged financial crimes by the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC).

Akpabio is alleged to be facing multiple charges of fraud amounting to over N100 billion USD but his hurried departure to All Progressives Congress is interpreted as his last ditch effort to avoid going to prison.

Akpabio’s defection has opened the political battle fronts between himself as his former trusted ally and the 2019 poll is expected to be topsy truvy.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not in good terms with his political god son governor Akinwunmi Ambode of lagos state.

Tinubu has reportedly asked his boy Mr. Ambode not to run for a second term and has anointed another of his boy Mr. Jide Sanwolu to replace Ambode. But the Lagos fights of

the political godfathers are in two dimensions. Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola whom he brought into political fame are now rivals in such a way that Fashola has now become a godfather who has picked Femi Hamzat to run for office of governor to challenge Tinubu’s estranged boy Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.

In Imo State, the battle is between Rochas Okorocha whose eight years’ stint in office has witnessed the worst kind of misrule, is propping up his son-in-law Mr. Uche Nwosu to succeed him.

Rochas however faces stiff fight both within the APC and the external camps made up of PDP and APGA, a party that has witnessed phenomenal resurgence in the South East of Nigeria.

These fights of the political godfathers are about who would gain access to the resources of the people to embark on widespread plunder and looting. The welfare of the people is none of the business of these predatory political godfathers.

Political godfathers behave true to their name.

‘Godfatherism’ is a term used in Nigeria to describe the strongman – dominated politics in the country (Albert 2005, Animasawun, 2013; Orji and Uzodi, 2012). Onu and Biereenu – Nnabugwu (2008, P.57) assert that ‘politics is seen as means of attaining wealth than as a process of service’ and that ‘godfatherism in Nigeria politics is behavior in which economically, politically, and socially well-placed individuals influence political, and economic processes (see Joseph, 1987).

The way to end the influences of godfatherism is for the electoral process to be reformed to make the role of money insignificant and to return sovereignty to the people of

Nigeria in line with the constitutional provision.

These reforms of the electoral system must happen so that only those persons who are ready to serve the people selflessly are recruited by the electorate to occupy public offices.

The fight to achieve these reforms will be bloody but it seems the people of Nigeria are not ready to wage the battles of our life time but are busy chasing after bread and butter and most electorate have started selling their votes to these same predatory political godfathers. A political revolution is needed and Nigerians need persons of exceptional charisma to mobilize them to take back our country.

“For good governance to prevail, the consent of the people that make up the political community must be obtained before establishing the political community. Note that in multiethnic and multilingual communities, this is one major step towards good governance. It is source of instability and strife where neglected. The essence of consent is strategic to good governance. It is the bedrock for defining basis of association in political community. It is a leverage for discussing and agreeing upon the covenant between the people and there would be leaders. It offers the opportunity of defining the agenda of governance. The minorities in the political community in the covenant are assured of their political rights.

The sharing of power among the component or units of the political community will be given exhaustive definition” (See the book; ‘Good Governance theory and practice’ by Samuel Anayochukwu Eziokwu).

I share these same sentiments.

Nigerians please wake up and repossess your country.

Editorial Commentary Lessons from Adeosungate

Times Guest Columnist Reuben Abati

Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance (2015-2018), Kemi Adeosun threw in her letter of resignation on Friday, September 14, to bring to a temporary closure, the public outcry and the embarrassment that her possession of a fake National Youth Service Corps Exemption Certificate had generated since July when it was first reported. Her letter of resignation in which she blames “trusted associates” for the mishap and explains her innocence, reads like the abstract of a future memoir in which she is likely to do her utmost best to ensure that her non-participation in the NYSC scheme does not become the defining marker of her public service career. She will of course in that book do the damage control of telling us that she is a victim of many conspiracies, the breach of trust, and the mischief of a sensitive and heavily politicized Nigerian public, seeking to hurt a holier-than-thou government as it seeks a second term in office.

I have no doubts that Kemi Adeosun was eventually pushed. Since the matter hit the headlines, she had been studiously silent. But her employers having seen that the NYSC scandal may be used against President Buhari during election season, she must have been advised to tender her letter of resignation. No political leader can willingly risk the cost of a serious collateral damage in an election year. It would not have been in President Buhari’s best interest to take the bullet for his own Minister. It must also have been painful for President Buhari to let her go. Out of his entire collection of faceless, impact-less and colourless Ministers, Adeosun was one of the very few whose name and face many Nigerians could recognize, and who could be given some marks for effort and commitment.

Often compared unfairly and sometimes unnecessarily with her more celebrated predecessor, Adeosun could not be accused of sleeping on the job. Under her watch, the Federal Government established an Efficiency Unit (E-Unit) in the last quarter of 2015, to monitor the Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government (MDAs) in order to check wastage and leakages. There was also the initiative on continuous audit, the introduction of a whistleblower policy, the Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme, a more rigorous insistence on the use of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), and the decision on financial bailouts for ailing states. These initiatives may not have produced a robust or healthy economy, due to macroeconomic distortions or what the HSBC has identified as “fiscal fault lines’ in the Nigerian economy. Adeosun also borrowed rather heavily, leaving the country with large indebtedness, a choice she defended as the best option out of corrosive recession.

In the course of her work, Adeosun also showed a determination to step on toes, taking on powerful figures and departments such as the leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the opaque manner in which those institutions were being run. She further threatened tax defaulters with prosecution, and spoke openly about building a data base of the assets of the wealthy, their failure to pay tax as due, and bring them to justice.

Adeosun apparently has lost out in the power game. Her lack of a proper NYSC certificate is her Achillee’s heel. Entrenched interest and groups in Nigeria, as elsewhere, take the power game seriously. There had been whispers about Adeosun’s NYSC certificate. The matter was unearthed to checkmate her. Is she guilty? Yes. The only innocent party is the media house, Premium Times, which saw in this, an opportunity for investigative journalism and chose to do its work

as watchdog. Kudos to Premium Times for the determination with which it pursued the story.

There are lessons here for all of us, in whom may reside a “Kemi Adeosun.” There is indeed a “Kemi Adeosun” in all of us.

The bone of contention is her non-participation in the NYSC, her non-entitlement to an exemption certificate and the possession of a fake exemption certificate. Established in 1973 as a post-civil war strategy for reuniting the country, the NYSC scheme is a creation of law. It requires Nigerian graduates of higher institutions, at home and abroad, to devote a year of compulsory national service to Nigeria, preferably in a state other than their own state of origin. You cannot seek exemption, except in accordance with Section 2(1) of the NYSC Act. Once you graduate before 30, if you wish, you could still serve at 50 as long as you are a Nigerian citizen. The NYSC certificate is usually required for purposes of employment generally or appointment into public office, if you are a graduate. Nigerian graduates since the establishment of the scheme have participated in it. Even in the face of calls by a few that the scheme should be scrapped, there are also those Nigerians who are happy to be part of it.

Indeed, some persons who graduate at over 30, we are told, smuggle themselves into the scheme, to avoid the stress of the unemployment queue.

Some would even willingly serve in the scheme for a second term or a third term if possible.

But Adeosun falls into a special category. She belongs to the category of Nigerians who studied abroad, and who were born and raised abroad, in countries where the NYSC is irrelevant and unknown. If she had remained abroad for the rest of her life, and did not take a job in Nigeria, there would have been absolutely no problem. And I believe there are many of her type in the diaspora, who are so established abroad that they may never imagine that they would need Nigeria some day.

Adeosungate says something to such Nigerians: should you hope to work in Nigeria at any point, and you are a graduate, you would be required to undergo a year of the NYSC. Prepare yourself for that, because you never know tomorrow.

The second issue is that of citizenship. Certain commentators on Adeosungate have argued that she was not a Nigerian at the time she graduated.

They insist that she took Nigerian visas on her British passport until she was 34. This is a wrong argument, because that was a matter of choice, not the result of a legal hindrance. Citizenship is not by passport. Kemi Adeosun became a Nigerian the very day she was born, in the light of Section 25 (1) (c) of the 1999 Constitution which confers citizenship on “every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria.”. As for her being British, Nigeria indeed recognizes dual citizenship. There are many Nigerian children being brought up overseas today by Nigerian parents, who do not regard themselves as Nigerians. I once met a young lady who told me: “My parents are Nigerians. I am American”. Every effort to convince her that she is a Nigerian was rejected. Some of such children can even lay claim to more than two countries.

Their parents are Nigerians, they relocate to the United States and have children there, who may become Americans and they may further relocate to Canada where they also obtain Canadian citizenship. Nigerian parents who bring up their children abroad must always remind them of their roots. Those who are saying Adeosun has gone back to her country after resigning as Minister of Finance are overlooking the law.

She is in every sense a Nigerian. She was not recruited as an expatriate staff. She did not have to renounce her Nigerian citizenship at any time or seek naturalization.

OUR POSITION

Interim ex-parte orders and 2019 elections The admonition by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu AbdulKafarati, to judges, asking them to refrain from granting interim ex-parte orders on political matters, appears to be the crucial directive that will shape political events in due course as we approach the 2019 polls.

The CJ had disclosed on Monday at the commencement of 2018/2019 legal year that he had issued a directive to judges of the Federal High Court to stop granting interim ex-parte order in all political cases brought before their courts.

According to the CJ, the directive is part of efforts to ensure that the court is not used by politicians to scuttle the political process and disrupt the peace of the country.

He said: “In an attempt to forestall any hiccups and the blame on the court by the political gladiators, I have during this vacation issued a circular that interim orders ex-parte shall not be granted in political cases brought before the court. I believe that controversies especially in political cases can be reduced when the court takes a decision after hearing all the parties in the case.

“It is also extremely important that all political cases that may affect any of the parties which are still pending in any of our courts be concluded without further waste of time to afford all candidates the opportunity to pursue their political ambitions.”

Kafarati had also on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 reiterated the directive with a modification, saying that interim ex-parte order can only be granted on “very exceptional cases.”

The reasons adduced is that it is better to hear all sides of the matter before a decision is taken and to minimise controversy in the adjudication process that have potentials to scuttle the political process and disrupt the peace of the country.

We entirely agree with the numerous efforts being made by the judiciary to ensure sanity in the granting of interim ex-parte orders by trial Courts, essentially as the nomination by the political parties through primary election begin this month.

But we wish to advise that the judiciary must exercise caution to avoid promoting impunity and dictatorship among the political party leaders who in recent past have demonstrated unlawful tendencies by holding their primaries in violation of their own party guidelines just to ensure that only their anointed candidates get party nominations.

We recall that in 2014, the Federal High Court adopted similar measures following a circular issued by the then Chief Judge, Justice Ibrahim Auta, which scuttled the hearing of more than 12 suits filed against President Muhammadu

Buhari over his WAEC certificate and all other suits filed that challenged the defections of five governors of the Peoples Political Party (PDP) and the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to All Progressives Congress (APC).

Similar scenario is piling up before the Federal High Court with more than eight cases already pending on the defection of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, while several other suits have also been filed challenging the defections of three governors.

We are of the opinion that timely deposition of political case remain the panacea for stability and enthronement of elusive rule of law in our society.

A situation where 2015 pre election cases are still pending in our Courts five months before the expiration of the tenure in contestation is to say the least repulsive to the noble idea of justice.

We wish to submit that cases arising from election disputes must not only be concluded at trial Court before the end of October as directed by CJ Kafarati, we strongly believe that it is possible to conclude all election cases even at the appellate courts timeously before those who win election take oath of office. The development will restore public confidence in the judiciary.

One month after, Kano gets Deputy Gov Yakubu Salisu, Kano The Kano State House of Assembly on Tuesday held a screening session during which the state’s Commissioner, Ministry of Agriculture, Nasir Yusuf Gawuna was screened after being nominated as the new Deputy Governor of the State.

It would be recalled that Hafiz, resigned from his position on the 5th of August following hints that 31 members of the state’s House of Assembly had signed for his impeachment, which would have been effected Monday, August 6th.

Hafiz, had a running battle, with his Principal Officer over issues, bordering on loyalty between the Gandujiyya and Kwankwasiyya, factions within the Kano APC before the later pulled out to join forces with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the defection of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso to the PDP. The period of time taken to appoint a new Deputy generated lots of concerns in the state as many believe that, the internal wrangling which forced Hafiz out of office, was yet to be over.

Speaking shortly after the screening session, Kano State Commissioner of

Information, Muhammad Garba, said the Governor’s choice of a new deputy is commendable considering the fact that, Gawuna is a grass root politician with large number of followers as well as a reliable and trusted fellow the governor can always count on.

Garba, further said, only the governor can decide the new roles the new deputy would be playing after he has been confirmed.

Asked if the new deputy would continue as the commissioner of Agriculture or take over the ministry of education which was part of the former deputy’s portfolio, he said the Governor would decide.

APC NASS caucus backs indirect primary in Adamawa Henry Omunu, Abuja The Adamawa state caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, said that it supports the adoption of indirect primary to choose the party’s candidates for the 2019 general elections by the state chapter of the party in line with its constitution.

According to the caucus, it decided to back the decision of the state executive committee of the APC held at its meeting of September 3 because the resolution tallies with Section 20 of the party’s constitution.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, spokeswoman of the caucus, Senator Binta Masi Garba said that the APC national executive committee had authorized each state chapter to choose the mode of primary election best suited for it based on certain peculiarities.

Senator Binta stated that as a result the APC in Adamawa state resolved to adopt indirect primary to elect candidates for all elective positions except that of the president.

She added that the party in the state lacks an authentic and updated register of members as a result of the defection by new members into the party who may be denied the opportunity to vote or be voted for if the present register is used to conduct any primary election.

“That consequent upon the above, we know as a fact that using the present register of members will certainly affect the credibility of the outcome of the primary election.

“That members of other political parties bent on destroying the APC in Adamawa state will intentionally cause confusion by claiming membership of the party if the primary election is conducted through direct mode and without an updated register of members,” the

spokeswoman said.

Moreover, the senator added that the state being one of the states experiencing security challenges as a result of the Boko Haram attacks cannot conduct peaceful primaries in some parts of local governments in the northern part of the state, including areas bordering the Sambisa Forest.

While maintaining that the caucus is not afraid of direct primaries in choosing its flag bearers, she asserted that because of the peculiar problems of the state, the risks of holding the direct primaries would be higher as party members would be exposed to attacks.

“That logistics involved in conducting the elections through indirect mode is quite cheaper compared to direct means and we are afraid of having elections which outcome will not be credible,” Senator Binta added.

Adamawa Assembly approves 50 administrators send by Gov Bindow Tom Garba, Yola At Tuesday’s plenary presided by the Deputy Speaker, Hon Emmanuel Tsamdu, the Adamawa state House of Assembly (ADHA) approved 50 development areas administrators and their Secretaries.

While reading a letter sent by the State Governor, Senator Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla Bindow seeking for the confirmation of their appointment, the Deputy Speaker, Tsamdu said it is in conformity to the constitutional provision for appointment.

Tsandu, after presenting the names for confirmation by the lawmakers pursuant to section forty four (44) of Adamawa state Local Government Establishment and Administration law (2000) as amended, the legislators unanimously approved the 50 names as sent by the Executive.

Ondo APC threatens factional Short News FG to pay Abia ecological chairman with arrest fund soon – Prof Daramola Adewale Momoh, Akure The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on security agencies to checkmate the activities of the party’s factional group so as to avoid tagging the party in bad light.

In a press statement issued by the party’s Director, Media and Publicity, in the state, Steve Otaloro, he called on the factional leader of the group, Idowu Otetubi to desist from parading himself as the chairman of the party or face the consequences.

The statement read: “We are going to do everything possible to defend our party’s name in the face of abuse and threat to any of our members or

in case of breach of public peace.

“We are calling on the Police, the DSS and other security agencies to ensure that this violent prone political group’s activities led by said Idowu Otetubi are checked once and for all, especially, as the December 1 2018 election is fast approaching.

Stating that Otetubi is not a recognised member of the party, Otaloro emphasised that Otetubi is all out to tarnish the image of the party as he has no stake in the party.

actions of political group leaders who have constituted themselves as threat to public order and our democracy.

Nobody can stop my guber ambition, Sen Abe declares Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt Frontline governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congres (APC), in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, has declared that nobody could stop his ambition to become Rivers State governor in 2019.

Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, said about me and I said I will not respond.

But I will simply go down memory lane to remind Rivers people of a few things.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was aspiring to be Governor of Rivers State and it caused a big problem in the politics of that time between him and Dr. Peter Odili. I was a Commissioner in Odili’s cabinet, but I stood with Amaechi. At a time, I was the only person in Odili’s government that Amaechi was still talking to.

“One day I had a serious argument with Dr. Odili over Amaechi. We argued to a point and I said to Dr. Odili, Sir, can I tell you something? He said, tell me. I said, whoever God has said will be Governor of Rivers State will be Governor of Rivers State and there is nothing Dr. Peter Odili can do about it.

“When I went to apologise to him, he told me not to apologise. He said, ‘Magnus, what you have said is true.”

He continued: “It is to the eternal credit of Dr. Odili that he allowed me to serve out my term in his cabinet.

He never came out publicly to call me a traitor or a betrayer because he respected the fact that I chose to stand by my friend.

“I have said the same thing to Rt. Hon. Amaechi and I want to repeat it here. Whoever God has said will be Governor of Rivers State will be Governor of Rivers State and there is nothing he can do about it,” the Senator said.

Before it was officially rolled out on Tuesday, the innovative cement product had been adjudged ideal by the country’s engineers, builders and block makers, due to its rapid setting within an hour, its strength and top quality.

Multitude of block makers in attendance lauded the company’s innovate efforts and after a demonstrative test also confirmed its strength and asserted that surely, it is the best product for building construction for now, from the stable of Dangote

cement.

Speaking at the official unveiling of the cement on Tuesday, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, called on all Nigerians to patronise the new cement to help minimise the menace of collapse building in the country.

The Governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, commended the management of Dangote Group, adding that it has always been supportive in all sectors of the economy.

Group Managing Director, Dangote Cement Plc, Eng. Joe Makoju, said the new brand is a product of years of deep research, adding that it has been tested and approved by builders nationwide.

According to him, it is strong and affordable to Nigerians because of its rapid setting, especially during rainy

season.

“This is a new era. This is a new quality. This is a product of research,” Makoju said.

Speaking, Group Chief Marketing Officer, Oare Ojeikere, said the new cement is multipurpose and very strong, urging Nigerians to adopt it for all construction purposes.

He said he was happy that hundreds of builders in Kano had used it before the launch.

The immediate past chairman, Nigeria Institute of Building and Director, Consultancy Services, Science and Technical Schools Board, Kano State, Abdullahi Alhassan SanSan, said he was elated because the new cement block will address the issue of collapse building in the country.

A non-governmental organisation, BudgIT, has said that Lagos State generated the highest internally generated revenue (IGR) with over N333billion in the year 2017.

The organisation made the statement on Tuesday at a conference termed, ‘State of States’, held at the Sheraton Hotels, Abuja.

According to the head of the research team, Mr Atiku Samuel, when making the report, he said the IGR of Lagos State is “Lagos State generated the highest internally generated revenue of over N333billion, while Yobe State, is lowest on the table, generating about N3.5 billion in the year 2017.”

“Considering the population of Lagos State when compared with the IGR, each person is generating N25, 700 monthly for the state, which is above the minimum wage of N18,000.

When you compare the total national population with the total internally generated revenue nationwide, you will realise that each person does about N3,000, which is far below the minimum wage.

“Rivers State sits on top of the Fiscal Sustainability Index due to its robust revenue profile and manageable recurrent expenditure obligation.

The state’s actual revenue of N209.12 billion in 2017, when juxtaposed with its recurrent expenditure obligation of N141 billion in the same year, indicates Rivers is fiscally stable, and able to cover its recurrent expenditure without borrowing.

According to the report, “Anambra State is the least indebted of all Nigerian States domestically, with about N2.6billion being owed domestically.”

While commending the report, a representative of one of the supporters of BudgIT, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Chisom Okechukwu, said that in order to strengthen the public finance system, citizens must be able to relate with the policy makers.

“BudgIT is doing a good job and we are happy to participate in it. For the public finance system to be strong, we need an avenue where the citizens can relate with their policy makers.

“We have tonnes of resources in Nigeria and we can make a lot of profit out of them if managed well.”

Earlier on, the principal lead of BudgIT, Gabriel Okeowo, had explains that the report was focused on the fiscal and export potentials of the states.

BudgIT is a civic organisation drivel to make the Nigerian budget and public data more understandable and accessible across every literary span. Their primary goal is to use creative technology to intersect civic engagement and institutional reform.

2018 Economic Summit‘ll focus Rivers, Delta, on governance – Udoma Bayelsa, Lagos top Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Federal Government has said that the 2018 Nigerian Economic Summit (NES 24) which holds in Abuja on October 22 and 23, would focus on good governance as a path to sustainable human and economic development.

The aim, according to the government is to work towards achieving the goals of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday that this year’s theme is “Poverty to Prosperity: Making Governance and Institutions to work”.

He pointed out that even as the ERGP is a carefully articulated medium-term plan specifically tailored to restore the economy on the path of diversified, inclusive and sustained growth, it

recognizes that execution priorities must be underpinned by a focus on governance and delivery to realize its objectives.

“Indeed, the ERGP sets out clearly that good governance at all levels is crucial for the success of the Plan”, and “it is in this context that the Plan maps out strategies to improve governance by entrenching transparency and fighting corruption, reinforcing security, reforming the public service, and strengthening coordination with sub-national governments”, he stressed.

The Minister pointed out that it was against this light that the Summit is structured along five key thematic areas of: Corruption and Rule of Law; Effective Public Institutions; Sustainable Economic Opportunities; Human Development and Participation and Citizens’ Rights.

The Minister was particularly pleased that the Startup Pitching Events which was introduced into the Summit programme last year to connect startups

registered in Nigeria, as a platform for creating and expanding opportunities in the country, is already gaining traction.

“I am pleased to note that more than 745 startups have already submitted their applications through the applications portal which was opened on the 1st of August, 2018. Eight selected startups will be invited to pitch in front of venture capitalists and angel investors”, he revealed.

He was confident that this year’s Summit will present a good opportunity for discussion among leaders and citizens to deepen civic engagement on how to accelerate the achievement of the governance component of the ERGP. The Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Mr ‘Laoye Jaiyeola, expressed the appreciation to the Federal Government for the collaboration that has seen the hosting of the Summit for the past 24 years.

Africa’s maritime sector needs continental collaboration -Dakuku Motolani Oseni The chairman of the Association of African Maritime Administrations (AAMA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has said Africa is the market yet to be unveiled, and the maritime sector of Africa deserves its rightful place and can achieve a lot through continental collaboration to grow its maritime industry.

This was the thrust of his message as he arrived Sharm El Sheik, Egypt for the 4th conference of Association of African Maritime Administration, (AAMA) where participants from 38 countries from Africa will be joined by maritime stakeholders from Singapore, Jamaica, Malaysia and the United Kingdom amongst others to deliberate on how to grow the maritime industry on the continent.

Dr. Dakuku, in a statement signed

by Isichei Osamgbi, Head, Corporate Communication, NIMASA, noted that the role of African Maritime Administration in building human and infrastructural capacities, Combating the Menace of Piracy and Maritime Crimes in Africa,

Regional Initiatives for sustainable exploitation of maritime resources, will be part of the issues that will be deliberated during the five day event which has the theme “Protecting The African Marine Environment To Support Sustainable Development”.

According to the AAMA Chairman, “Africa is the market yet to be unveiled, the maritime sector of Africa deserves its rightful place because if you look at the cargo generated from the continent and the cargo that heads to Africa you will know that the African maritime sector has come off age and there is the need for us to come as a bloc to negotiate issues of development of our sector when it comes to international maritime politics” Following the commencement of the AAMA conference, The International Maritime Organization, IMO and the African Union have affirmed their readiness to support AAMA in their quest to combat security challenges, and build human capacity to implement, monitor and enforce international instruments.

The chief executive of Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, Andrew Tan

who is already in Egypt, commended the Dr Dakuku led executive members of AAMA for engaging other maritime administrations across the globe in their quest to develop maritime Africa.

“We are delighted to share knowledge with African maritime leaders- he said, we are ready to partner AAMA in its quest to grow the African maritime sector which will know will rub off on the industry in totality” he said.

AAMA members at the 3rd AAMA conference with the theme - Sustainable Use of Africa’s Oceans and Seas, agreed to develop and adopt Near-Coastal Trading, Certification and Competency Code for mutual recognition of certificates that will reduce/eliminate contentions by Port State Control Inspectors.

BudgIT’s 2018 fiscal sustainability index As Cross River, Osun Ekiti trails BudgIT recently analysed the fiscal condition of states and noticed that states fiscal account generally improved on the back of increasing oil revenue.

It was critical that State governments embrace a high level of transparency and accountability, develop workable economic plans, take haircuts — especially on overheads — expand their internally generated revenue (IGR) base, and cut down on debt accumulation without a concrete repayment plan.

Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Edo and Ondo sits on top of the BudgIT’s Fiscal sustainability index due to their robust revenue profile and manageable recurrent expenditure obligation.

BudgIT also sees a commendable appearance by the states with low expenditure outlay and sizeable debt such as Anambra, Enugu and Katsina. We also noticed that Abia had tightened its recurrent projection, providing it with the opportunity to leap on our sustainability rankings.

Lagos dropped from 2nd to 4th place on the fiscal Sustainability index notwithstanding the state’s economic advantage.

Lagos’s internally-generated revenue, when compared to many of its peers, is relatively high. Her IGR as at the end of 2016 was N287 billion, from 2015 levels of N268.2 billion. In 2018, the State is planning a Recurrent expenditure spending of N305 billion or N25 billion monthly.

With its IGR not expected to grow significantly above N300 billion, while its share of revenue from

FAAC in the first six months of 2017 was N6.6 billion, Lagos overheads cost and debt which is unusually elevated weighing down on its revenue and its performance on the 2018 fiscal sustainability index.

BudgIT is extremely concerned with the poor fiscal management thinking in Cross River with its bogus budget plan of N1.3 trillion, which severely weighed it down on the index. Our research also showed that Osun State is not out of the woods as it still ranks 35 out of the 36 states.

The Research concludes that States need to look beyond rhetorics and commit to a reduction in its operating costs, including significantly slashing its unreasonable overheads bill while freeing up more spending for social and economic infrastructure. States also need to link future borrowing to sustainable projects, which can pay back the capital cost of its current loans and improve the overall income profile of the state.

Economic planners at the state level are also advised to improve tax collection efficiencies and realign budgeting with statewide plans.

Significant investment is needed to improve the overall economic performance at the state level, which invariably could create jobs that feed into states’ internally generated revenue. Improve spending is also critical for value-added tax revenue.

Export Opportunities in aquaculture, agriculture, manufacturing, trade, logistics and tourism abound across states, but it seems states lack the rigour and foresight to explore them.

CBN injects $210m into foreign exchange market The Central Bank of Nigeria has sustained its intervention in the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Market by injecting 210 million dollars into the various segments of the market.

As a company, we want to provide better nutrition for the world, we understand that a significant portion of the world’s population is faced with undernourishment; milk is filled with a lot of essential nutrients and can make a positive contribution towards solving this challenge.”

In the company of Roel van Neerbos, President, Consumer Dairy, Royal FrieslandCampina, The Netherlands, Ben Langat, Managing Director and Ore Famurewa, Corporate Affairs Director, FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria, Schumacher, who is on a two-day working visit to Nigeria, made the donation through the Nigerian Red Cross Society, which will be fully accountable for the distribution of the products and also deliver the project with care.

According to Famurewa, the donation is aimed at improving the nutritional status of over 400 vulnerable children living in the camp and aged four to 15 years. Each child in this age bracket is to receive a daily serving of highly fortified and nutritious Peak milk from September 7 till the end of the year.

“Through the years, our company has built a strong legacy on giving back to the society and this culture is preserved in our sustainability strategy and policy. With this symbolic donation, we are supporting government effort in solving issues of malnutrition and ensuring reduction of prevalent non-communicable diseases, by providing quality dairy nutrition” Famurewa said.

The Executive Secretary of Nigeria Red Cross Society, Abuja Branch, Mr. Simeon Nwaubani, in his remarks, thanked the company for the support given to the displaced persons while highlighting the charitable roles organisations can play in helping needy communities.

Educationists task pupils on importance of writing

Chief Executive of Corona Schools Trust Council, Mrs. Adeyoyin Adeshina, has stressed the importance of encouraging young ones in the art of writing, saying it makes them to impact.

Adeshina said this at the award ceremony held for some children between ages five and eight who are members of the Young Authors Club in Lagos.

According to her, writing will give the children opportunity to express themselves and put their thoughts down to catch other people’s attention.

“Writing is power but it is fast becoming an unfavourable habit simply because of technology.

SMS, emails, online chatting among others have taken over the real writing habit and there is power in the pen. So we should encourage our young ones to sit down and write because it will help expand their thoughts”, she said.

The Education Director, Corona School, Mrs. Amelia Nafeta, said writing helps children to

explore, adding that when children write, it helps their minds to expand and open them up thereby becoming more creative and imaginative.

The founder of Jordan Hill Creative Writing and Young Authors Club, Mrs. Adeola Eze, who recently organised an award for children at the just concluded the young authors camp meeting, said the gesture is a big step towards encouraging children and youths to be engaged in value-driven activities .

Eze said this at the award ceremony organised for children between the ages of 5 to 8 who are members of the Young Authors Club by Jordan Hill Creative Writing as she urged parents and educationists to get children away from distractions and get them to spend quality time reading and writing which are the true activities of great leaders, adding that the vision of Jordan Hill is to bring back the reading culture among young Nigerians.

“The real goal of Jordan Hill is to engage the

young ones in value-driven activities, nurture and raise children who would spend their time on activities that add value. We want to raise children who would not be distracted with various modern world distractions but would find time to give attention to what will take them in the right path.

This is what drives us at Jordan Hill because right now, as it seems, there is a gap in our educational sector that we all as parents and educationists need to fill up to right some of the wrongs in our society”, she said.

She said the children were engaged in writing exercise at the just concluded Creative Writing camp meeting which was held every Saturday for three months.

Part of what the children learnt was how to use the Thesaurus so as to avoid repetition of common nouns and phrases.

“They also learn how to use adjective to describe

someone and something. All these are geared towards making writing an interesting exercise to our young ones having discovered that the writing culture is dwindling due to advent of technological devises such as television, handsets, computer and so on”, she said.

Eze said the camp also exposed the young authors to how to plan their time such that when it’s time for them to read their books they don’t need anyone to remind them.

She said the camp also encouraged the use of laptops to type their stories and bring out morals in the children.

Mr. Essienete Young, one of the parents whose child launched a book on collection of poems, said the idea to encourage young authors is quite inspiring.

He urged parents to always try as much as possible to discover the hidden in their children.

I miss my days as a Marine Navigator - Oba Mohammed Yusuf Oba Mohammed Musiliu Adio Yusuf, the Onisiwo of Tomaro and Abagbo, Lagos State, is one of the first class traditional rulers in the state who focused on the unity of his subjects and peaceful co-existence among communities since he ascended the throne in 2016. Cornered at his palace, he spoke with MUTIAT ALLI, about his experience at the palace, life as a marine navigator, projects and advice to youths towards the coming general elections. Enjoy…

You recently marked two years as the Onisiwo of Lagos; how has the journey been since your installment?

Well, we give glory to the almighty because we have been on the struggle for sometimes ago and we thank God that at the end of the day we emerge as the leader of the Onisiwo royal family that is Onisiwo of Tomaro, Abagbo, Takwa-Bay and its environs. Onisiwo is one of the idejos (landlord) of Lagos that have been reigning since 16th century with the then Oba of Lagos, it has it’s headquarter in Tomaro at the Onisiwo island, Amuwo-Odofin local government to be precise. In 2016, we emerge as the royal father of the town and ever since then we have been working.

In two years, what would you say has been some of your achievements?

One of the significant things we have been able to achieve within the last two years is that we have been a given new secondary school which is now under construction. Before this time, there was no electricity but now the government has extended its cable to Takwa-Bay one of our community which we are equally pushing for other communities to benefit from. Presently under the Onisiwo umbrella we have about 27 communities and each community have the Baale as the head who gives monthly report of each community. Although we are still pushing more from the government most especially on the issue of road network (Construction of bridge) as the Onisiwo community is an island bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Badagry creek. Equally we have been able to erect solar power in some community, setting up of security community, development of a market centre to mention but few.

How did you emerge as the Onisiwo knowing well that there are other ruling houses?

For the Onisiwo royal family, we have about four ruling houses that include Ogabi Onisiwo, Omoyeni Onisiwo house, Orefunmi ruling house and Ofebuyi ruling house. The chieftaincy is deserted which means we have declaration to that effect and that implies the manner in which the title will be rotated, so the first Onisiwo was Orefunmi, then Omoyeni came on board and now it is the turn of Ogabi. Although there was a little rancor but at the end of the day God intervene and I emerged winner.

At the time you were picked, what was running through your mind, don’t you feel the responsibilities were going to be too much for you?

Everything is been designed by God because the custodians of tradition was never my own way of life; I am a practicing Muslim to the core and I have never for one day dream of becoming a traditional ruler; but when I was called upon, there was nothing I could but trust me I consulted the almighty for direction and so far I have not been finding it difficult to steer the affairs of the family because have been leading for years. For instance I am a Marine Navigator by profession and as one you are bound to lead so many people, like the last ship I commanded as a captain had about 25 crew members consisting of different nationality and I was able to manage them for a period of two years before coming to this place. Also there is no much challenge as the issue of crisis management has always been a part of me.

How did you feel leaving a job you are passionate about to come and serve the people?

Actually it is always like that because I did felt a little bit unhappy that am leaving my profession but like I told you when I was called upon, I left it for God to handle and see me through; so in essence I never spent time, money to attain this post; it came as surprise way when I was called because we were about six from my lineage but after the consultation of the oracle, I was picked.

What was the reaction of your wife when you told her about the development?

You should have even asked about the reaction of my mother because she is still alive; so when I told my mum about it, at first she felt reluctant because she understands what normally happen when you are been called up for such role but at the end of day she called me in and said if it is what God has designed then no problem. As for my wife, all we just did was to pray for God’s direction.

As a devoted Muslim; how do you balance your faith with traditional functions?

You should remember I was not born a king.

Agreed, I was born a prince like every one born to the royal family. I was born a Muslim and brought up to appreciate what Islam stands

for. If this is what you call devout Muslim, well, I have no issue with that. But in terms of practicing my religion as a traditional ruler, I can say it anywhere that the throne is not a hindrance. I am a Muslim and I am proud to be one. Also I am the Onisiwo and proud that I am here on the throne. God has been my guide on how I balance my functions as a Muslim and an Oba. So far, I am adapting with the new palace role. In a nutshell, traditional functions do not stop a traditional ruler to practice his faith. In all Yoruba towns, the traditional rulers belong to either Islam or Christianity. Yet they perform their traditional functions as expected of them with the support of their traditional chiefs.

There is this believe that children of settlers of riverine communities prefers been fisherman as against going to you; how much of such orientation have you been able to change?

Well that was back in the days because I was born and brought up in that community and this where I had my primary school and later went uptown for my secondary school and other degrees. This orientation we have been to pass across to the younger generation; now we have a secondary school and we have equally pitched for a technical school which will commence work in time. Although fishing and farming is our culture but then education

is key.

Since you attainment, what will you say you miss doing?

Honestly speaking, I miss travelling at my own convenient time because before this time, I may just decide that I want to leave the state and relax for a while but now is not too possible because if I have to, I need to write a formal letter to the traditional council and my people and chiefs need to be aware of it.

What is your take on the not too young to rule bill that was recently passed?

For me it is a laudable move even though some of this kind was applicable during Awolowo time but it was not as pronounced as this it is now where youths are now fully involved in politics. It is a levelled ground now and I think is good that Nigerian youths are beginning to show interest in the decision making of this country.

Advice toward the coming general election?

We can only hope that we have a peaceful election just as the election process of the country has improved over time now; also I will like to charge Nigerians of the need to go get their PVC as this is their own ticket of selecting whoever will govern the affairs of the country and state generally.

US Open: Serena Williams breaks silence on umpire sexism row

Serena Williams has opened up in her first interview since accusing a US Open umpire of sexism, insisting she did not conspire to cheat with her coach.

Williams clashed with umpire Carlos Ramos after she was given a warning for receiving coaching from her box in the second set of the final, describing the tennis official as a “thief” and a “liar”.

Discussing the incident on Australian television show The Sunday Project, the 23-time Grand Slam champion asserted she did not receive help from coach Patrick Mouratoglou during her defeat to Naomi Osaka.

Williams said of Mouratoglou: “He said he made a motion, I don’t understand what he was talking about. We’ve never had signals.”

She said accused the umpire of sexism because he treated her harshly, and said

that a man wouldn’t have received the same treatment.

“I just don’t understand,” she said. “If you’re a female you should be able to do, even half, of what a guy can do.”

Mouratoglou admitted he was coaching Williams, but said she didn’t look at him.

He added that Osaka’s coach was also coaching her during the match.

Serena Williams was penalised by the umpire and handed a $17,000 fine for three code violations.

He alleged that she had broken the rules by receiving coaching, and gave her subsequent code violations for smashing her racket and for verbally abusing him.

Billie Jean King, who won 12 Grand Slam singles titles and fought for equal rights in tennis, backed Williams’ stance.

“hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.

3:21 AM - Sep 9, 2018 “Several things went very wrong during the match,” King tweeted. “Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. It isn’t, and as a result, a player was penalised for the actions of her coach. This should not happen.”

In a second tweet, King said: “When a woman is emotional, she’s ‘hysterical’ and she’s penalised for it. When a man does the same, he’s ‘outspoken’ & and there are no repercussions.

“Thank you (Serena Williams) for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.”

NWF: Nigeria on course to winning Olympic medal in wrestling The Nigeria Wrestling Federation (NWF), says its longterm aim is to produce an Olympic medalist for the country.

NWF President, Daniel Igali, disclosed this in a statement signed by the Media Officer of the federation, Emeka Dennar, in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

He stated that although seven Nigerian wrestlers featured at the 2016 Games in Brazil, none of them was able to go beyond the first

round largely due to inadequate preparation.

Igali, who won a gold medal at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia while competing for Canada, assured the federation was firmly focused on producing an Olympic medalist for Team Nigeria in the nearest future.

“We have exposed some of our junior wrestlers: Sunmisola Balogun and Esther Kolawole to the World Cadet Championships in Zagreb,

Croatia, and it did show at the African Youth Games.

“All the wrestlers that traveled won gold medals, so, it shows the rapid development that can come about when you expose your athletes internationally.

“The aim of the NWF had always been to win a medal at the Olympics.

“And I think these are the building blocks to achieving that goal. And we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to do that.”

Thai court rejects lawsuit against Manu Garba: It’s a shame Ghana company of Leicester City owner won’t be part of U-17 AFCON A Thai court Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit accusing duty-free giant King Power, the firm that owns Leicester City Football Club, of owing the state more than $430 million in unpaid revenues.

The complaint alleged that King Power executives, working with airport officials, paid a smaller share of revenues than was required to operate in Bangkok’s busy terminals.

It was a rare legal challenge for one of the country’s wealthiest and best-connected businesses.

King Power owns Leicester City Football Club and is controlled by the family of prominent billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

The suit was filed last year by anti-graft official Charnchai Issarasenarak

but was thrown out by Bangkok’s Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases.

Charnchai accused King Power of paying substantially less than the contracted 15 percent of annual revenues to Airports of Thailand (AOT).

The total amount owed from 2006 to now is about 14.29 billion baht ($438 million), according to the lawsuit.

The judge on Tuesday dismissed Charnchai’s complaint on the grounds that he did not have “legal authorisation to file a charge” because he was not personally affected.

Charnchai, who became a shareholder of AOT in 2015, said the massive loss in revenues affects the public.

“The country has suffered huge damage,” he said. “The wrongdoing and corruption went on for more than 10 years.”

Charnchai said he would either appeal the case or bring it to the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

King Power has previously denied any wrongdoing and filed a number of defamation lawsuits against Charnchai.

The company’s founder Vichai, who started his duty-free empire with a single shop in Bangkok in 1989, today holds a nearmonopoly in Thailand’s airports.

His family became celebrated as the owners of Leicester City after the unfancied team took home the 2016 English Premier League Championship.

Golden Eaglets head coach, Manu Garba, says it’s disappointing Ghana failed to qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Tanzania next year.

Garba opined that the format for the qualifiers t will affect next year’s competition especially with West Africa having the best in terms of youth football.

Nigeria defeated Ghana on penalties to win the WAFU U17 tournament in Niger and qualify for the African Championship to be held in Tanzania in 2019.

The match ended 1-1 at full time and the Golden Eaglets were masterful in penalties to dispatch the Black Starlets 3-1 on penalties.

Manu Garba is worried about the quality that will eventually represent Africa at the FIFA World U-17 Cup next year.

“Either side deserved to win but unfortunately it is only one ticket,’ he said after the game.

“In the qualification way, I think this is not the best for CAF because West Africa is the strength of African football at youth level,” he added.

“Nigeria have won the world cup the most, five times, Ghana has won it on three occasions. And it is just unfortunate a team like Ghana is missing out. Niger itself and Cote D’ Ivoire are not going to this tournament,” “I think this zone must head to CAF to change this format because it is not good for West Africa. Honestly, I think Ghana must be there but I will say congratulations to Ghana even in defeat.

It was a befitting final.”

Anthony Joshua: I’ll bully Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Anthony Joshua has outlined his game-plan to beat Alexander Povetkin, saying he needs to ‘bully’ the Russian and swamp him with punches if he is to get through a major threat to his titles at Wembley on Saturday.

Povetkin can be ranked as Joshua’s second toughest assignment to date after his unification win over Wladimir Klitschko last year and it is known that there is anxiety in the Brit’s camp about the fight with his mandatory challenger.

The former WBA world champion, 39, has lost only once in 35 fights since turning professional after winning the 2004 Olympics and has shown his concussive power via 24 knockouts.

With his controlled aggression, he poses a tactical conundrum, which is heightened further by Joshua’s admission he is not yet technically equipped to follow the blueprint of

Klitschko, whose jabbing masterclass inflicted Povetkin’s sole career defeat in 2013.

In explaining his plan for a compelling match-up, Joshua said: ‘He’s patient. He doesn’t really throw that many punches. You know if I am fighting a tall geezer it is jab for jab. But with Povetkin he is waiting and then, suddenly, it’s boom.

‘So it will be a real breaking down job. I can’t give him any opportunities.

I have to stand on his ground. I know I can’t stand off it because he will be waiting for me to come in and then he’ll hit me.

I have to take him off his game, bully him a bit, and bam, hit him. And also use a tight guard so you are not giving anything away.’

Joshua holds the IBF, WBA and WBO titles after only 21 fights.
