Daily Times: Sen Obiora on the run as IGP orders arrest Continued from page 1 day morning to effect his arrest were told by security men in the house that he was not in town.

But sources revealed that Sen. Obiora was earlier tipped off by a mole within the IGP’s office of the arrest order, hence he sneaked out of the house before the officers arrived at his residence.

The order by the IGP to arrest Obiora followed his alleged fraudulent activities with his cohorts including the Chairman of DSTV, Adewumi Ogunsanya, over attempt to acquire properties belonging to The Daily Times and the illegal use of police action to arrest the Publisher, Mr. Fidelis Anosike, the Group Managing Director, Barrister Noel Anosike, some management and line staff of The Daily Times who were detained for seven days and were denied bail by a Magistrates’ Court in Mpape, a suburb of Abuja.

After invading the Abuja office of The Daily Times, Sen. Obiora had also led some policemen to the newspaper’s Lagos office complex in Agidingbi, Ikeja which they ransacked, carted away documents and equipment including computers, laptops, cameras, phones, airconditioners and generating sets, among others.

The Daily Times management had therefore written petitions to President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Bu-

kola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), the Chief Justice of the Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen and the IGP. In the petition which was signed by Mr. Fidelis Anosike and Barrister Noel Anosike and widely reported in the media, the duo alleged abuse of powers and intimidation by Obiora who colluded with certain police officers to humiliate and embarrass them.

According to them, those involved include DIG Hyacinth Dagala of the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID), ACP Njoku, SP Elizabeth Ezeh and ASP Yakubu Hankari.

According to Police sources, before ordering for the arrest of Obiora, the IGP expressed shock that DIG Dagala could arrest, detain and arraign The Daily Times Publisher and his members staff without briefing him on the matter even as the First Information Report of the case reads IGP of Police Versus Anosike, Obiora and others.

The IGP was also said to have ordered full investigation of the roles played by the police officers and men involved in the matter.

The petition to the IGP reads in part: “It is noteworthy here that the issue forming the backdrop of Sen. Ikechukwu Obiora’s antics in this case is the

long-drawn fight for the ownership of Daily Times of Nigeria Plc, a case the investigation of which was done during the time of the then Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ogbonna Onovo, and concluded to be purely civil in nature and which is pending in various courts in Nigeria. The then Attorney-General of the Federation had also found and advised that the matter was a civil one on the basis of which its prosecution was stopped.

“The self-same Sen. Ikechukwu Obiora had also engineered another criminal prosecution against us in Lagos (Charge No: LA/204/2011) over the same issue while the Lagos State

High Court in Igbosere dismissed in its totality.

“You may wish to know Sir that in 2004, our company, Folio Communications Ltd, bided for and bought DTN in a widely publicised and transparent privatisation process executed by the Federal Government and that DTN was duly handed over to Folio Communications Limited in September, 2014.

“Ikechukwu Obiora only has minority interest in a Company that has minority shares in DTN. It is for this reason that Obiora has done everything possible to convert DTN to himself including going to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with forged docu-

ments to change ownership of the Company which the courts have severally declared illegal.

“Obiora has initiated several criminal cases against us and DTN, all of which have been dismissed including a Lagos State High Court, a Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal. In dismissing the cases, the courts expressly declared that the issues in dispute are purely civil and not criminal in nature.

“It is because he cannot have DTN that Ikechukwu Obiora resorted to obtaining injustice from the back door by colluding with DIG Dagala and running to a Magistrates’ Court in Mpape, Abuja on a matter

that is pending in courts with superior jurisdiction.

“Please note also sir that a dispute between Folio Communications and Ikechukwu Obiora on Daily Times ownership was resolved in 2006 following intervention of some stakeholders in the media industry after which a Consent Judgement was granted by a Federal High Court in 2006. Obiorah has continued to act in breach of both the Statement of Agreement and the Consent Judgement.

Obasanjo obtains CNM Membership Card, says the Movement is non-partisan

Abiodun Taiwo Abeokuta

ÏÏÏ

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Thursday formerly registered as a member of Coalition for Nigeria Movement after its official launch of the Ogun State chapter.

The event which took place at the Iwe Irohin NUJ Press Centre, Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, saw some personalities such as the former governors of Cross River and Osun states, Donald Duke and Olagunsoye Oyinlola, respectively, Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka, Mrs. Modupe Adelaja and top politicians from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was afterward decorated with the official emblem of the Movement by Duke.

While addressing the full-packed hall, Obasanjo said his letter to President Muhammadu Buhari last week, was born not out of frivolity, but out of great concern for the situation in

the country.

He added that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue business as usual, observing further “If the instrument we have used since independence has not worked, then we should rethink and retool to make the country work.”

Obasanjo, who stressed that Nigeria, like any other countries, has various challenges, explained that the Coalition was set up to mobilize Nigerians for peace, unity, security, stability, love, welfare and the wellbeing of vulnerable Nigerians, particularly youth and women who, according to him, have been at the receiving end of national crises.

He mentioned the disrespect for the federal character as enshrined in the country’s constitution, the spate of killings and violence across the country, and the parlous nature of Nigeria’s economy under President Buhari’s administration, as some of the reasons for the Coalition.

He noted that “if the in-

strument we have used so far in our nation-building and governance since independence have not served us well, it is imperative that we should rethink and retool, stressing that it would amount to height of folly for anybody or any group to continue to do things in the same way and expect different results Obasanjo added that “the Coalition for Nigeria will raise standards generally but particularly standards of political leadership and governance”.

“Like all countries, Nigeria has many challenges.

That, by itself, is not what we should worry about.

What should matter is how, when and with what instruments we address or fail to address these challenges or create more problems”.

Expressing his happiness to be a member of the coalition, Obasanjo said, the movement is a pressure point towards good governance, saying that this is the commencement for our popular and grassroots association.

He added that membership of the movement will be free to collectively decide on whether CNM becomes a political party, assuring that if the movement decides to metamorphose into a political party; he will cease to be a member to maintain his non partisan elder statesman.

He urged members of the movement to promote the CNM and mobilize membership all over the country including membership from Diaspora, stressing that the movement is an opportunity for Nigerian men and women, especially youths who have been feeling marginalized and helpless to go all out and bring friends and families into CNM fold.

The CNM will remain a popular socio-economic movement open to all Nigerians who believe in the greatness of Nigeria and are ready to contribute to it.

While lamenting that Nigerian government has taking nation-building for granted, Obasanjo noted that nation-building must

be given continued attention to give every citizen a feeling of belonging and stake in his or her county, arguing that the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari concentrated the nation’s security apparatus in a particular geopolitical zone which he said was not good enough.

“Nobody and no group should feel excluded in his or her country. Inclusion and popular participation must be visibly pursued in terms of politics, the economy and our overall social life”.

He noted that “the spate of violence, criminality, organized crime, insurgency and terrorism have not received sufficient proactive ameliorative response through transformational leadership; a determined leadership that brings cohesion and wholesomeness to polity”.

“A socio-economic popular movement needs to be the new vehicle to give hope to thw youths, dignity and encouragement to women

and security, confidence and a promising future to all Nigerians. It must work to bring about a new democratic and efficient Nigeria.

The movement must speak up boldly and bluntly about the truth but politely in accordance with African culture.

“The movement will also act collectively with political awareness, social responsibilities, sustained and sustainable economic development and p[progress. Timidity and cowardice must not be part of its make-up or culture and neither must there be indifference”.

“He who keeps quite, inactive and indifferent in the face of bad act is an act accomplice to that act. Selfinterest, self-centeredness and selfless must be put aside. National interest must be paramount. The movement will teach what it believes and practice what it teaches, “Obasanjo added.

tion of negotiated conditions of service.

The union, as early as 9.15 am on Thursday morning, blocked the entrance leading into the two companies to prevent anyone going in as it directed its members to down tools to ensure managements of both companies give them a listening ear.

Chanting solidarity songs and carrying placards with different inscriptions that read, ‘Racism in Bristow must stop, Leave Nigerian jobs for Nigerians, We say no to forced labour in Bristow’, the aggrieved union members said the Bristow and Caverton would remain shut until all issues were resolved.

The National President, NAAPE, Comrade Abenego Galadima, at a news conference, said the issues have been on for over four years and the management of Bristow has been adamant in resolving them despite the “several interventions by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Federal Ministry of Interior, and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in resolving any of the many issues.

“We consider this shameful situation to be a sad and sorry tale of failure of industrial relations by both parties,” Galadima said.

He pointed out that,”this adverse state of affairs has been foisted by the management of the Bristow Group who has promoted management by subterfuge to an art, where impunity and manipulation of facts are official management tools of oppression and coercion”.

NAAPE said it was dis-

heartening that activities of the Managing Director of B.A.T.S, Nick Tufty Travers, was always to destabilise the growth of national engineers as a means to facilitate the perpetuation of expatriates’ domination in the Bristow Group.

Galadima therefore called on the Minister of Interior and Comptroller General of Immigration to immediately commence an audit of expatriates in the employment of Bristow Group.

He noted that the Bristow Managing Director should be deported, as he has overstayed his welcome in Nigeria.

“This will no longer be tolerated. Besides, he has truly overstayed his welcome, haven stayed in the country since 2005 far in excess of ceiling contained in EQ law.

“Accordingly, Nick Travers is hereby declared persona non-grata. Consequently, we call on the Minister of Interior and Comptroller General of Immigration to commence the process of his deportation and to carryout comprehensive expatriate audit in the Bristow Group”.

“It is, therefore, evidently clear that the Bristow Group has thrown Nigerian’s expatriate quota laws to the dogs and has done incalculable damage to the policy intention of Nigeria over the years”, he added.

Speaking on their grouse with Caverton Helicopters, Galadima said the management of the company for over two years had refused to remit pension deductions to the appropriate authority.

“Caverton for over two years has been deducting our members’ pensions

Buhari nominates Edwards Adamu as CBN Deputy Gov

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ President Muhammadu

Buhari has nominated Mr. Edward Lametek Adamu to the Senate for confirmation as Deputy Governor of the CBN. Buhari said the nomination is in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(1) (2) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) (Establishment) Act 2007.

This was contained in a letter dated January 26, 2018 to the Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Mr Adamu, from Gombe State, replaces Mr. Sulaiman Barau, from Zaria, Kaduna State, who retired in Decem-

ber, 2017.

The nominee, who has spent 25 years in the CBN, was appointed in 2012 as Director of Strategy.

He became Director, Human Resources in 2016, from where he was nominated as Deputy Governor.

The Daily Times recalls that the CBN could not hold it Monetary Policy Committee meeting in January because the members could not form a quorum, as the senate withholds the confirmation of the previous nominees by the President.

Although, the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele had assured that the the economy remains strong despite the postponement of the MPC.

and refuse to remit it in their RSA, retirement Savings Account. You know the monies are supposed to be in the account so that pension administrators can use it for business so that the staff or worker can benefit from the interest. So if for over two years they have not remitted such pensions and the employer’s contributions according to the pensions Act, so you know what that means. It

means that the staff have been shortchange and some of them are nearing retirement”.

He noted that Caverton’s conditions of service has also expired over one year and efforts to make sure a new one was in place, he said ,they were foot dragging. ”They are paying our members based on the dollar rate that is not know to law. The CBN is the only

body to set what they call exchange rate, Naira to dollar, but Caverton is using their own which is not acceptable to us,” he added.

Other affiliate bodies of the United Labour Congress said Thursday’s shutdown was just a pinch of what was to come if the helicopter companies refused to call for a Roundtable to discuss these nagging issues.

Chairman, ULC, Lagos State, Comrade Tokunbo

Korodo, said apart from withdrawal supply of aviation fuel, other strategies had been put in place to drive home their demands.

Also speaking, the Secretary General, Nigeria Union of Railway Workers, Comrade Segun Esan, said their course was hinged on the pursuit of justice and fairness and would continue to do this until the helicopter companies do the needful.

Court affirms Senate powers to confirm EFCC chairman’s appointment Olufemi Samuel and Andrew Orolua, Abuja.

ÏÏÏ

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the Senate is conferred with the authority to ensure that the choice of ‘only suitable and credible persons for appointment to the office’ of the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Justice John Tsoho actually delivered the judgment on January 15 but the verdict was made public on Thursday in Abuja. The court’s verdict was sequel to a suit filed by a legal practitioner, Mr. Oluwatosin Ojaomo.

Ojaomo had filed the legal action, asking the court to determine the propriety of the Senate’s authority to deny an appointee to the office of the EFCC chairman under the EFCC Act. The lawyer had asked the court to determine whether the Senate President and the Senate can reject a valid appointment made by the President of Nigeria to the office of the Chairman of the EFCC in

accordance with the provisions of the EFCC Act. Ojaomo also asked the court to determine if the Senate can refuse to confirm any appointment made by the President to the office of the EFCC. The plaintiff added that Buhari had validly nominated the acting chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, as the chairman of the commission.

But in his judgment delivered on January 15, Justice Tsoho held that contrary to the lawyer’s submission, section 2 (3) of the Act states that the Chairman and members of the Commission other than the Ex-offio members shall be appointed by the President while the appointment shall be subject to a confirmation of the Senate.

The judge further held that, “ The plaintiff raised two issues in the written address for determination, to wit: whether or not the 1st defendant can reject a valid statutory appointment made by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Office of the EFCC in accordance

with the provisions of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004.

“Whether or not the 1st defendant is bound by the provisions of the EFCC Act, 2004 with respect to the confirmation of any appointment made by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Office of the Chairman of the EFCC. “Having regard to the questions presented for determination and the reliefs sought in the originating summons by the plaintiff in this instant suit, his locus standi, in my humble opinion, is doubtful. The affidavit depositions which give background information of the plaintiff have not disclosed sufficient stake or peculiar interest of the plaintiff above others, that entitles him to institute this action.

“Paragraphs 4, 5 & 6 of the affidavit in support of the originating summons have introduced the plaintiff as a certified Legislative Counsel/Professional drafter trained by the Commonwealth Secretariat, London, United Kingdom at the Ghana School of Law,

Accra, Ghana. Also that he is a solicitor and advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and currently a Legal practitioner in a Law firm. This in my humble view does not establish any special or unique interest of the plaintiff above those of others, that entitles him to institute this action. On this premise, the suit is liable to be struck out for lack of standing to maintain the action.

“Nevertheless, the Court will consider the merits of the issues raised for determination by the plaintiff.

“Issue 1 borders on the power of the Senate in respect of statutory appointment under the EFCC Act referred to it by the President. The relevant provision relating to appointment of the Chairman of the EFCC is Section 2 (1) & (3) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004. Section 2 (3) provides as follows, “The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall be appointed by the president and the appointment shall be subject to confirmation of the Senate.

Boko Haram: Reps to audit excess crude account over $1bn expenditure

Henry Omunu,

Abuja

ÏÏÏ The House of

Representatives on Thursday resolved to carry out a forensic audit of funds that have accrued into the controversial excess crude account operated by the federal government, even as House members were divided over attempts to apply the 13 per cent derivation principle to the $1billion approved by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to prosecute the Boko Haram insurgenay.

This resolution was reached in order to determine what funds accrued to the state and federal governments and how states contributed the $1billion which was approved by the National Economic Council (NEC) to fight the Boko Haram insurgency.

After heated debates by proponents and opponents of a motion to deduct the 13 per cent derivation from the $1billion expenditure sponsored by Hon Ken Chikere (PDP, Rivers), the Speaker of the House, Hon Yakubu Dogara ruled that further debate on the motion be suspended, but that the House Committee on Finance and Legislative Compliance to carry out the audit and report back in four weeks.

Dogara said: “It is a dispute between the governors; it is not our position to look into this issue. This is not the forum to discuss this development.

“We just have to suspend it. It is for us to mandate the relevant committees to investigate and know what belongs to which arm of government, so that we can speak from an informed position.

“Let us know what is in the Excess Crude Account, to be sure that the $1billion belongs to the states.”

Moving his motion, Hon Chikere tasked the House to urge the ministry of finance to ensure that the sum representing 13 per cent of the $1billion approved by the National Economic Council (NEC) on December 14, 2017, to fight Boko Haram insurgency is deducted and paid to oil producing states in compliance with Sections 162 (2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

He expressed concern that the 13 per cent derivation fund payable to oil producing states had not been deducted and paid to them from the $1billion before or after the approval of the said sum to fight the Boko

Ï dƍƋƈƐ ƒƆƏ ơƢ ƍƆƏ ƅƆ Ɛ ƗƆƏƈƒ Ɛƈ ƍƍƋƈƅ Ɛƈ Haram insurgency.

The lawmaker argued further that it would amount to double contribution from the said states and a breach of Section 162 (2) of the 1999 Constitution and Section 1 of the Allocation of Revenue (Federation Account) Act, 2004.

Chinkere reminded his colleagues of a proviso to Section 162 (2) which states that 13 per cent derivation of the proceeds of the oil producing states as derivation fund payable to Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Edo, Abia, Imo, Ondo, Anambra and Lagos states.

He averred therefore that there was the compelling need to deduct the 13 per cent derivation since it’s not been deducted from the approved $1billion expenditure by the National Economic Council, adding that “if the 13 per cent is not deducted from the $1billion and paid to the oil producing states, it would amount to double contribution and breach of the constitution and Revenue Allocation Act.” Chikere’s arguments in favour of his motion drew the support and ire of House members, resulting in a split with lawmakers backing the motion asserting that the money in question belongs to the state governments.

Those opposed to the motion averred that the Boko Haram insurgency is a threat to the nation’s sovereignty and as such, the issue should be tackled headlong to avoid unforeseen circumstances.

Also, they argued that the House lacks the powers to legislate on an issue that has to do with states, adding that the House should not be ridiculed as the money in question does not belong to the federal government.

Hon Uzoma NkemAgbonta in his argument questioned the ownership of the money, insisting that the money should be investigated to know if the federal government’s share of the money hasn’t been tampered with.

“We need to know who owns the money and also to know if the federal government money is not tampered with. The accountant general and finance minister should tell us how much is in the Excess Crude Account,” Nkem-Abonta said.

He was supported by Hon Abiante Inombek, who stated that “if the money actu-

ally belongs to the states, why then are some of the states raising objections?” and added that the 13 per cent should be enjoyed by those states benefiting from it.

Chairman, House Committee on Rules and Business, Hon Emmanuel OkerJev, who led the camp of

House members opposed to the motion, raised a point of order, stating that the motion is speculative.

Relying on Order 9 (6) of the House Rules, Oker-Jev said, “We have to step it down. We cannot be entertaining a motion when we don’t have the facts.”

In his submission, Hon

Shehu Garuba, said that in as much as he understands the reason behind the motion, he does not agree that the 13 per cent of the approved sum should be paid to the oil producing states.

He added that “any crisis in any part of the country is a challenge to every Nigerian. I disagree with this motion.”

Deputy Speaker of the

House, Rep. Suleiman Lasun, said that the motion touches on the foundation of the constitution, adding that the consolidated and federation accounts were not really spelt out by the constitution, as both were being used interchangeably.

He said that whatever it will take, the issue of Boko Haram should be addressed.

Group accuses Obasanjo of plagiarism Doosuur Iwambe Abuja

ÏÏÏ A group, under aegis

of Coalition for Nigeria (CN) has accused former president, Olusegun Obasanjo of using the recently-launched Coalition for Nigeria to achieve his third term ambition.

The group also accused the former president of stealing its idea and name by ‘criminally’ launching the Coalition of Nigeria Movement (CNM).

The Daily Times recalls that Obasanjo’s proposed political movement was launched in Abuja on Wednesday at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, with former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Donald Duke in attendance.

But the group in its reaction to the development warned Nigerians not be duped into thinking they are dealing with the authentic group when in reality they could be playing into the den of persons that have track record of being political dupes.

CN described the Obasan-

Ï d ƕ Ɔ ƈ Ƒ ƈ ƋƈƐƈ Ƈ Ə Mƈ ƆƏƈ Ɛ ƅ ƈƆƒƆ Ɛ ƈƏƗ ƐƆƏƌ jo-led Coalition Movement as a group of failed politicians and those that had made immense contributions towards wrecking Nigeria with a sprinkling of youths that have anger issues.

Chairman of the group Sabo Odeh, said the authentic Coalition for Nigeria has noble intentions centred around galvanizing Nigerians for nation building around tenets that are long term without pandering to unnecessary drama and media hype.

According to him, “Our Coalition is not limited to creating a backdoor for retired and tired politicians to install puppets in government for the purpose of continuing to loot the treasury while ruling by impunity as had been experienced in the past.

Obasanjo Coalition Movement seeks to do the exact opposite while leveraging on our credible name to sell its lies to Nigerians.

“The Coalition for Nigeria, having the best intentions of our dear nation at heart, is careful to go about effecting change in a way

that does not jeopardize the stability and safety of Nigeria. There is nothing to be gained in burning our country in the name of seeking improvement; the reforms we all desire are achievable through persuasion, consensus building and collaboration without resorting to inflammatory acts and utterances as we have seen with some people.

“Instead of pursuing peaceful growth and evolution, what we have seen the children of anger in the Obasanjo Coalition Movement is a situation where old politicians in their twilight are manipulating youths to be incendiary.

“Our Coalition is made up of Nigerians that yearn for a better country with the firm belief that the dismantling of the infrastructure for corruption is a necessary first step that ensure that we can then build the country on a solid foundation that provides level playing field to all citizens.

Obasanjo Coalition Movement is however at variance with this noble and laudable assembly hence

its obsession with stealing such respectable name. The failed assemblage is made up of former public office holders that are suffering the withdrawal symptoms of not having access to the proceeds of corruption upon which their unsustainable lifestyles had depended; this demographic is supported by their entitled offspring and lackeys that have similarly lost access to easy money.

“The authentic Coalition for Nigeria will continue to pursue the noble objective of having credible persons to drive the Nigeria Project irrespective of differences pertaining to class, ethnicity, religious or political affiliation. Our belief is that such melding is important for building prosperous nations and that Nigeria should not be left behind.

This is why we find it distasteful that an impostor coalition is using our identity to malign fellow Nigerians on the divisive concepts of ethnicity and geo-political differences.

This is not only criminal but also sick.

Restructuring: Jonathan, Gov Dickson seek implementation of APC report Akam James, Yenagoa

ÏÏÏ Bayelsa State Governor

Seriake Dickson, on Thursday led a high powered delegation of Ijaw leaders to former President Goodluck Jonathan to deliberate on the All Progressives Congress (AP) Committee’s report on restructuring.

Jonathan, Governor Dickson and the top Ijaw leaders called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the APC to be sincere with the implementation of the recommendations of the party’s committee led by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El Rufai.

The former President and the group said that, a holistic and sincere implementation of the recommendations of the report on restructuring would encourage inter-ethnic harmony and development in the country.

A statement by the Special Adviser to Governor Dickson on Media Relations, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, on Thursday also quoted Jonathan as having said that, the issues which fell under the purview of the committee were exhaustively treated during the 2014 National Conference whose sincere implementation would definitely move the nation forward.

He said that, it was a good idea that the APC was able to set up a committee to look into the same grey ar-

eas, which featured prominently in the deliberations of the 2014 Conference.

Jonathan commended Governor Dickson for playing the leadership role of coordinating the thoughts of the Ijaw people on the sensitive issue of restructuring.

According to Jonathan, Governor Dickson must be appreciated for ensuring that the Ijaw Nation did not speak with discordant tones on the issue of restructuring.

He stressed that he was pleased that Governor Dickson was performing the leadership role in accordance with his expectations by coordinating the Ijaw Nation on the topical issue.

Jonathan said, “I am pleased with the caliber of people who came with the Governor to brief me on the issue of the recommendations of the APC Committee on restructuring.

“I must say that I am happy with the role being played by the Governor on this issue of restructuring.

Ethnic nationalities must not speak with discordant tones on such pertinent issues. I am pleased that Dickson is coordinating the Ijaw Nation.

“I am also pleased that the APC set up a committee to look into the grey areas to come up with these recommendations. When we were in government, we came up with a confab and several issues were addressed which if sincerely implemented

Obiora, hoodlums cannibalise The Daily Times office in Ikeja In a related development, the desperation of former lawmaker, Senator Ikechukwu Obiorah, to cripple The Daily Times newspaper reached the crescendo on Wednesday night, when hoodlums, suspected to be working for him, cannibalised the operational headquarters of the heritage newspaper at Agidingbi, Ikeja Lagos.

The hoodlums, at the behest of Sen. Obiora, carted every equipment in sight at the office in a truck. These include computers, printers, airconditioners, generators, electric bulbs, and sockets among others.

Recall that over 20 police officers acting at the prompting of the former lawmaker last week invaded The Daily Times operational office in Agidingbi, Ikeja-Lagos. During the invasion, they arrested five members staff of the heritage newspaper.

Responding, Governor Dickson said that he led the delegation of the Ijaw leaders to the former President on a consultative meeting and to brief him on the steps the Ijaws had taken to build bridges of understanding in the pursuits of what is right in the country.

He explained that, the meeting focused on the issue of restructuring and the moves being made to bring about a just, fair and egalitarian Nigerian society.

Dickson noted that, the recommendations contained in the report of the APC committee were the same as those contained in the 2014 National confab.

He said, “As you all can see, this is a high-powered delegation of Ijaw elders and leaders from all the zones from Ijaw nation. I am leading them to meet and consult with our respected leader, the former President and also to brief him on steps we are taking; steps we will continue to take to unify our people to build bridges of understanding and to support all that is right and good, not only in this region, but across the

nation.

“As you are aware, there is a raging issue of restructuring and moves made to bring about a fairer, egalitarian, stable and prosperous Nigeria. And here, in this state and in this region, we are proud to have our leader, the former President and so today we came to brief him about the steps we are taking to study all the reports, including, the reports of the 2014 Confab which was rightly empanelled by Mr. President and it is gratifying to note a number of the recommendations given by the APC panel are the same conclusions that the 2014 Confab arrived at.”

The meeting was a follow up to an earlier meeting of top Ijaw leaders at Kiagbodo, the country home of Pa Edwin Clark on January 20, 2018.

The meeting, which had in attendance, the Governor Dickson, Pa Clark, Alabo Graham Douglas affirmed that the 2019 general elections would be a referendum on restructuring across Ijaw land.

The meeting also called on President Buhari and the APC to ensure that the recommendations contained the report of the APC Committee on restructuring were sincerely implemented.

Professionals, activists gave reasons for joining Obasanjo’s Coalition Movement ÏÏÏ The ranks of

the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, a political movement mooted last week by former President Olusegun Obasanjo has continue to swell as a body of professionals and civil society activists have identified The group known as Civil Society and Professionals Coalition for Nigeria (CSPCN) was represented at the inauguration of the Coalition for Change on Wednesday in Abuja by the trio of Kayode Samuel, a journalist and a former chief of staff to a past governor in Ogun state; Dr. Wale Okediran, former House of Representatives member, medical doctor and ex-President of the Association Nigerian Authors (ANA) and Adamu Ayuba, a Bauchi-based

management consultant.

Kayode Samuel who spoke on behalf of the group said: “We in the Civil Society and Professional Coalition for Nigeria (CSPCN) have decided to stand up to be counted in this mission and are ready and prepared to join hands with other concerned compatriots to bring about the Nigeria of our dreams – where life is safe and secure, livelihoods guaranteed and the people have confidence in their government.”

He noted that it is selfevident that two crucial duties – security and prosperity of Nigerian citizens - appear to have been fulfilled mostly in the breach in the present government.

“Insecurity and poverty

roam the land and wreck the people. These, have created a climate of uncertainty and fear not just for individual Nigerians but more critically for the entire enterprise of nation building”, adding that: “Today, the country appears to have transited from the domain of bad governance to the zone of a failed state.

This has a damaging effect on both public security and citizen well-being.”

Samuel said the group had observed that majority of Nigerian youths and women are fast reaching the conclusion that Nigeria is neither good for them nor fair to them, adding that to reverse the narrative requires more than lamentation but to become politically involved.

“This historic duty is

even more incumbent on civil society and professionals, who must have a continual interest in the good of society and its smooth functioning. They must now assume a custodial role in the remaking of Nigeria for a better future not only for themselves but also unborn generations”, he said.

He stressed it is in the “enlightened self-interest of Nigerians to rise and be counted on the side of a rescue mission that is almost becoming belated.”

The group targets youth, women and the professionals in Nigeria and in the Diaspora with the requisite, commitment, competence and character who they said must be recruited to take over public offices from 2019.

Buratai urges Senate to intervene on more funding for Nigerian Army Olufemi Samuel,

Abuja

ÎÎÎThe Chief of Army Staff,

Lt.General Yusuf Buratai has revealed the inability of the Nigerian Military to finish off terrorism, in particular Boko Haram in the North Eastern zone of the country anchors on insufficient funding.

Butatai made this known when he appeared for budget defence for the Nigerian Army on Monday, stressing that insecurity in Nigeria has continued to linger because the Nigerian Army lacked

adequate resources to nip the problem in the bud at early stage.

He said, Nigerian Army would have gained some mileage in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria while minimising casualties inflicted by the menace, if it had enjoyed adequate funding.

The Chief of Army Staff, however urged the National Assembly to exclude the Nigerian Army from envelope allocation, appealing for inclusion of Army on first line charge in order to be able to access funds directly to tackle inse-

curity problem in the country effectively.

According to him, it does not augur well for government not to release fund for the Army when there is so much challenges for troops to tackle.

He said, “The inadequate budgetary allocation envelope budget system and subsisting partial release of the funds had negatively affected Nigerian Army toward achieving almost secured environment for the citizenry.

“The Nigerian Army is committed to securing the territory of Nigeria from any

violation as the clearance operation to rid the country of the remnant of Boko Haram terrorists and other criminal groups.

“Timely and complete implementation of the budget will enhance the fulfilment of his mandate.

“I pray that the sum of N195.5 billion should be approved for the Nigerian Army personnel enrolment in the 2018 budget. The sum of N26.1billion for overhead while N39.8 billion be approved for capital.”

UN lambasts Nigeria over extradition of Southern Cameroonians

The UN refugee agency has criticised Nigeria for breaching international agreements after the leader of a Cameroonian anglophone separatist movement and his supporters were extradited at Yaounde’s request.

The UNHCR on Thursday said it learned “with great concern” about the case of Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, who was sent back to Cameroon this week with 46 others.

Ambode promises tough times for sec offenders, economic crimes Benjamin Omoike

ÎÎÎ

Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has vowed to make the state uncomfortable for sexual offenders and bring perpetrators of economic crimes to quick justice.

He said this at the commissioning of Special Courts to try corruption and economic crimes and sexual offences, at GRA, Ikeja.

The governor, represented by his deputy, Dr. (Mrs.) Idiat Adebule, noted that economic crimes and sex-related offences had become too rampant, hence the establishment of dedicated courts, to handle such matters for quick dispensation of justice.

According to him, “The creation of these special courts will assist in expeditious prosecution of economic and financial crimes and ensure that justice is attained by bringing offenders to justice without delay.”

Ambode disclosed that the state was collaborating with the British Council and other agencies charged with investigating and prosecuting corruption offences, by providing enabling environment, responding to inquiries and giving information to economic and financial crimes commission, to assist them in performing their statutory functions.

He added that the present administration had a coordinated strategy, across state agencies and non-governmental organisations, to prevent violence against women, children and men, through the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT), to provide holistic response to issues of sexual and gender-based violence in the state.

Cameroon has called the 47 “terrorists” and said they would “answer for their crimes”, as tensions mount in the Southwest and Northwest Regions, home to most of the country’s Englishspeakers.

They have complained about decades of economic inequality and social injustice at the hands of the French-speaking majority.

Ayuk Tabe wants the two regions to separate from the French-speaking part of the country.

On October 1 last year, his movement made a symbolic declaration of independence.

The UNHCR said most of the 47 sent back to Cameroon had submitted asylum claims in Nigeria.

“Their forcible return is in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, which constitutes the cornerstone of international refugee law,” it said in a statement.

Non-refoulement, a French term, is the practice of not forcing refugees or asylum-seekers to go back to a country where they could be persecuted.

“The returns were carried out despite UNHCR’s efforts and engagement with the authorities,” the agency said.

“UNHCR reminds Nigeria of its obligations under international and Nigerian law, and urges the Nigerian Government to refrain from forcible returns of Cameroonian asylum-seekers back to their country of origin.”

Human rights groups have called on Cameroon to ensure those detained get a fair trial and are well-treated.

EU to commit E26.5m grant for 2019 elections Myke Uzendu, Abuja

ÎÎÎThe

European Union (EU) has re-affirmed its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s electoral process with a 26.5m Euros grant.

The EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Ketil KarLsen, made the disclosure on Thursday in Abuja at the

launch of the EU Support Programme to Democratic Governance in Nigeria (EU-SDGN).

Karsen said that the grant which will be disbursed over a period of five years was aimed at promoting transparent, inclusive and credible elections.

“The overall objective of the EU-SDGN is to contribute to the reinforcement of democracy in Nigeria through build-

ing strong, effective and legitimate democratic institutions.

“Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Nigeria is at a pivotal moment that allows the country to take important steps to consolidate democracy and strengthen the electoral process.

“The EU continues to partner with Nigeria in the on-going reform process with a view to strengthening the capacity to conduct well-managed elections with ample participation of all Nigerians. “For this to happen, all must contribute, from the key institutions to the political parties, candidates, media and civil society.’’

Karsen said that the project would be anchored in the priority areas identified by the Nigerian government.

He explained it would be disbursed in line with the recommendations of the EU

Election Observation Mission, made after the 2015 elections as well as those of the EU Expert Identification Formulation Mission to Nigeria.

He said that the fund would be used to promote five areas of support, including improved quality of electoral administration in Nigeria and effective discharge of legislative function in compliance with democratic principles and standards.The envoy identified other areas as enhanced pluralism, tolerance, internal democracy and equality of opportunity of political parties and fair, accurate and ethical coverage of the electoral process by the media.

He said the other area was women, youths and marginalised citizens, civil society orgainisations and other relevant agencies contributing to enhance the electoral process.

Mr Jose Pinto-teixeira, Vice-President of the European Centre for Electoral Support, said that the programme would be implemented from 2017 to 2022. “Our work revolves around building on the already notable resources and tools developed to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process in Nigeria.

“This programme is being launched, ahead of the 2019 elections knowing that for many stakeholders, including the electoral management bodies in Nigeria, elections are regular and continuous events given the many by-elections that have been taking place so far.’’

Pinto-teixeira said that the programme had five inter-connected components, comprising support to INEC, National Assembly, political parties, CSOs and the media.

Ajimobi, Alaafin reject cattle colony, say its modern slavery ÏÏÏOyo

State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has advised the Federal Government against the planned establishment of cattle colonies across the country, describing the move as tantamount to modern slavery.

The governor made his position known on the raging matter during a visit by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who led some prominent traditional rulers to the Government House, Ibadan, on Thursday.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who shared similar sentiments with the governor on the matter, also said that the idea was ill-advised and unacceptable to the people of Oyo kingdom.

The governor advocated true federalism as solution to the national question, stressing that the proposal to states to make land available for the establishment of cattle colonies was against the letters and spirit of true federalism that vested ownership and control of land on states.

According to him, the proposed cattle colony was disguised slavery similar to the long-forgotten colonization that Africa still rues till date.

Instead, the governor said that the state was prepared for a controlled ranching that would be established by the state government, which would have all the required modern facilities for good cattle breeding and ancillary services.

This, he said, would be at minimal cost to whoever wishes to make use of the facility, but would end the regime of open grazing.

Ajimobi said, “Cattle colony is tantamount to modern slavery, because colony is synonymous with colonization. We cannot have that in Oyo State. It is a pointer to the fact that federalism is not working in Nigeria.

“If poultry farmers or owners of piggeries, among others, are not being offered colonies for their own livestock, why should herdsmen be a survival category.

“Our position is to support controlled ranching, under which we will provide land and other basic modern facilities for good cattle business as well as breeding. Those wishing to rear cattle will use the facilities at moderate cost. No more, no less.”

“You will say that the governor is the Chief Security Officer of his state, but he has no control over the police. That is another problem we have with our type of federalism. Another example is about those digging for treasures in our

communities but collect licenses from the Federal Government.

“This is wrong. Nigeria needs true federalism. We will keep talking about it until it materializes.”

The governor said that colonies were not established for cattle or any livestock in South Africa and other emerging economies, insisting that the state would also not allow such.

He empathized with those he called notable Nigerians that had farms in the state, whom he said had been complaining to him about herdsmen destroying their farms, expressing confidence that solution was in sight now that the menace had become pervading.

Ajimobi said that he was happy that Oyo State was on the committee recently put together by the FG to find solutions to the incessant farmers-herdsmen clashes, expressing optimism that the associated problems would soon be resolved in the mutual interest of all stakeholders.

Earlier, Oba Adeyemi, who said he was speaking the minds of other traditional rulers that were in company with him, applauded the state government for its stand on land acquisition for farming and livestock purposes.

At a broad level, he said that the committee of Obas in the state was in support of the stance taken by the state government on the proposed cattle colony, stressing that all land belonged to the state government.

The foremost monarch said, “We appreciate the governor for his forthrightness on this issue and for standing for the rights of the downtrodden, especially the people of his state. The FG does not own land; it belongs to the State.

“So, if truly we are practicing federalism, the federal government should not be collecting value added tax on businesses in Ibadan while the state struggles to provide facilities for the same businesses.

“Our own people are not cattle rustlers. Therefore, we can vehemently say now that we stand against cattle colony. We support our governor on his stand on ranching and against colony.”

The Alaafin used the opportunity to advise the governor to ensure that his successor was someone with sterling qualities and vision to sustain the legacy he would bequeath on the state, having, according to him, done so much that must be leveraged upon to further develop the state.

Why I made up with Fayemi, says Bamidele Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti

ÏÏÏ

A member of the seventh House of Representatives, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele, on Thursday disclosed the reason why he has settled differences with former governor Kayode Fayemi, saying he did this for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be able to triumph in the July 14, 2018 governorship poll.

Bamidele admonished the APC leaders to field an experienced person to fly the party’s flag for the governorship election, rather than a neophyte, who would assume office and start disgracing the party with poor performance.

The former commissioner said he is a thoroughbred technocrat, who has traversed every arm of government as a commis-

sioner, a federal parliamentarian and lawyer, who was well groomed for the coveted seat.

Bamidele said these on Thursday while declaring for the governorship seat in his ward at Iyin Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun local government area of the state , where he also unveiled his blueprint dubbed: ‘Manifesto of Brighter Future for Ekiti’, encapsulating his mission and vision for the state .He was received by the chairmen of the two wards in the town, Hon. Opeyemi Ogundele and Hon. Adeuyi Folorunso, respectively.

Bamidele told the party members that he had settled his rift with the Minister of Mines and Steel Development and former governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

“God in his own way has settled my differences with Dr. Fayemi, so no more cri-

sis and segregation. We are all one. There are no groups called Bibire or JKF, we are one APC and that we shall continue to exploit to rescue Ekiti from the dungeon of economic doldrums”.

Unveiling the contents of the manifesto, Bamidele stated that the blueprint consists of programmes that would proffer solutions to the hydra-headed socio-economic problems pummelling the state due to bad governance brought to the fore by the present government.

“With what is happening today in Ekiti, it was clear and evident that the State is in pain and in dire need of a leader that has scientific understanding of what governance is all about to redirect us to the path of a sustainable and viable Ekiti .

“I understand governance and I know that there are three arms, which are: Executive, Judiciary and

legislature. I have garnered experiences in all the facets and I have grown through the gamut to reach where I am today.

“In the executive arm, I served for 11 years in the government of Lagos State as Special Adviser and Commissioner and our records are there. I was elected as a member of House of Representatives in 2011 and this imbued me with deep knowledge of the legislature. And as a lawyer, I have practised as a Minister in the temple of justice for 26 years.

“I have executed programmes of government, I have made laws for the nation and I have helped in building a virile judicial arm, these make me a complete person and I can proudly say that I am the best for the job for no governor in the history of Ekiti had ever got this experience before election”.

Power shortage: FCTA pays AEDC N900m debt Idu Jude Jude

ÏÏÏIn an attempt to end

perennial power shortage in and around the FCT, authority, says it’s has settled Abuja Electricity Development Company with the sum of over N900 million as payment for electricity bills as part of its efforts to sustain and illuminate major streets of the nation’s capital.

The Coordinator, Abjua Metropolitan Management Council, Mr Shuaibu Umar disclosed this while briefing Journalists on council activities for 2017 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

The Coordinator said that the Council has engaged Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, to

jointly make a road map towards resolving the issues of incessant power shortage in the Federal Capital City and to partner with AEDC to provide effective service to Abuja.

Mr. Umar assured the residents that the administration will continue to provide infrastructure and facilities to Districts as soon as new ones are open before handling over the outfits to supervisors to manage accordingly.

He said this is in line with the administration’s mandate to provide the management of a first class and inclusive city comparable to any other city in the world.

According to him, “based on our mandate and mission,

the Council remain focused and committed to providing efficient and sustainable services to the residents of the FCT. Available records have shown sanity and improvements in the provisions of services to the city. Illegal development has reduced, traffic congestion has eased, street lightning at night has improved and, in particular, crime rate has remained subdued within the city”.

The AMMC Cordinator also hinted that as it resolved to sanitize the city, the administration through the Abuja Environmental Protection Board, AEPB, has engaged the service of twenty seven cleaning contractors for taking care of twenty seven

districts within the FCC to rid the city of all solid waste and for sweeping the streets, Expressways, and the inner roads and also the enforcement are taking charge of all and sundry human nuisances.

Mr Umar added that the contract will be review and take effect by June 2018 which will cover fourty eight districts within the city and it environs.

While explaining that the AEPB has done well in providing enough dust bins for dumping the refused, he stressed that the mobile trucks saddled with responsibility of evacuating the refuse regularly are not adequate.

I returned to APC for a mission, says Olusola Oke Chief Olusola Oke was the Governorship candidate of the Alliance For Democracy (AD) in the November 2016 gubernatorial election of Ondo State and recently rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC), and was welcomed by the party’s stalwarts including Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. In this expository interview with some journalist in Akure, Oke spoke on the reasons for his return to the APC despite its internal crisis. ‘TOSIN AJUWON was there for The Daily Times.

OKE

Why did you return to the governing apc after dumping its fold because of alleged irregularities in its governorship primary?

First, let me tell you that I had so many reasons to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where I had been for fifteen years and also served at the highest level as the national officer of the then governing party.

Although, the reasons were not really far fetched - the long standing absence of internal Democracy, lack of reward for hard work and misrule, despite all effort to advice the past government.

Now back to your question, I left for the All Progressives Congress (APC) with the sole aim of joining other progressives to bring about resurgence of vitality in the administration of Ondo state.

Several times, I had complained over our economy which was nose diving and that wealth was not generated for the people.

For instance - despite the abundant and human resources deposited in the state, poverty level still rise and unemployment was becoming excruciating and causing the economy to collapse. That was why I joined the APC with other progressives mind to salvage the state Ondo.

For reasons that were in public domain which I do not intend to go again, the primary election which we all participated was flawed. I articulated why it so very difficult for me to operate in that kind atmosphere . And because I had a mission and I have a direction to do everything to reverse the dwindling fortune of the state, to see if we can enthroned good governance, create wealth for our people and redirect the economy situation in the state , I moved to the Alliance for Democracy.

Are you still grieved by the shady deals observed in the last primary election that produced governor akeredolu as candidate of the APC? No, the election had come and gone. I decamped to Alliance for Democracy (AD) on the 1st of October, 2016 and the guber

election took place on the 26th November, 2016.

Then, why are you back in the APC? Why am I back in APC is to sympathize with the situation in our country today and I sympathize with the situation in our dear state too.

No doubt, my friend and my brother (Governor Rotimi Akeredolu) whom God favoured in that election inherited a very bad situation and having waited a year to see the vigour with which the ressurgency will be pursuit, I am convinced in my mind that he required additional support and encouragement from some of us who also understand the plight of the people of the state.

It was fashionable in the past for you to stay out of government and criticize but those things are distractions and this is the time when all of us must come together to contribute by the way of advice, support ,encouragement.

And to appeal to our people to show understanding so that the government of the state can focus on more the core responsibilities with a minimum or complete absence of distractions.

If we allow the situation to continue to degenerate or go down there would probably be nothing to inherit and there would probably be nothing to reverse.

I believe that whatever advice and experience I have and whatever opinion I harbour, I should align forces with this current government to help come out of the very bad situation we have in Ondo State.

How do you mean by this?

Our people are languishing in penury, no employment and the economy is bad, no infrastructure. The wisdom required the commitment to salvage the situation may not be available to single individual.

So, I might be failing in my responsibility, if I stay on the fence and watch things whether deteriorating or stagnated.

Therefore, after a very wide and extensive consultation with my people who we share the same vision and mission for the

development of this state, I decided that in the meantime, let me align and contribute our own help by a way of advice to this government.

I was inclined to do that after looking at the governor from a distance, or unless I am proved wrong, I want to see him as someone who has very limited tendency for dishonesty if not complete absence for dishonesty.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in my best opinion deserved an encouragement and advice. And, I see him as a someone who will harbour no ill fillings or bitterness towards a fellow compatriots.

In fact, I could exploit what I see as his understanding and willingness to take advice, and to contribute my quota. I will be failing in my duty if I allow things to continue to deteriorate. So, this explains why we are back in APC. Are you sure with your return, you will be given a free level ground with your followers in the party?

I had interactions with the Governor even before my final decision and he is quite welcoming and enthusiastic about our returning to the party.

We have everything in common both of us were born in the same year, although I am months older than him and we also belonged to the same profession and we are members of the inner bar.

Also, we are related from the maternal side and I believed that if the almighty God favoured him to be in the saddle, all I owe him is to encourage and advice him.

Whether or not he will take to the advice is entirely at his own discretion but let it be said of me that I didn’t just watch from the sideline and that I did my best .

I am doing this for Ondo State because AD came third in that election does not justify its strength in the state and the Governor informed me that there would be what he called unity rally sometimes in February this year.

We will use the rally to bring all leaders together both in the AD and APC in the state and this would allow the governor to concentrate on core responsibility of governance and allow those of us who are politicians but not in government to build

a formidable system and platform for the next election.

All I can the people of the state is that I have a vision and mission and believed that Ondo State can do better, I believed that we ought not to be where we are today.

We can lift this state out of obscurity and move to part of sustainable development. It is some of those ideas that I want to put at the door steps of those who have a rear opportunity of being in governance of the state today.

But don’t you think that you are leading your supporters to hostile environment considering the internal scrambles in the APC? We are mortals. We can only do our permutation or calculation on the basis of facts known to us. Even tomorrow, we are all speculators.

Only God knows. I have heard this as part of the questions. Even my supporters asked me. Are these people welcome us and also won’t they be hostile at us, would this not affect all my vision and dreams?

They asked all this questions but I think the interest of the state is paramount. It over ride every personal consideration.

Like I told the Governor when I met him. I noted that If our people are looking for opportunity even in terms of economic empowerment, they will not move from AD because I cannot see the difference between the AD, PDP and even the APC members in the state.

But one thing I asked from the governor is that we should be respected and we are only coming to add value.

I pleaded with him and the leadership of the APC. They have assured me that we would be respected. Again, because we are a formidable group, we would not fire any arrow in anybody’s direction and nobody should also underestimate our capacity for protecting ourselves.

To a large extent, I see the governor as a somebody who bears his mind out easily on matter how you may not agree with him, I like such individual than someone who will tell me one thing but go ahead and do another.

of them will say we have come to work with you in AD. Since you are no longer there and you are no longer pursuing it from the AD let me go back to where I came from.

And those who came with me from PDP were even stronger about our coming to APC because they don’t want to return to Egypt.

So, It wasn’t my decision. In fact, there was this statement they were making that the world is bad, the heaven is worst and that they did not know the third platform.

Truly, there are issues in APC and there are more issue in PDP but the fact is that I didn’t participate in the preliminary discussions and they all agreed that APC is still the better option for me.

being who is not straight forward. If I am right in my opinion that the Governor is straight forward in his dealings it means where we disagreed, we would know and where we agree, we would know.

He has no reason to disrespect me and I have no reason not to acknowledge his authority over the state. There may be issues but the rough edges will always smoothen over time.

We are not coming to appropriate to ourselves the result of their labour. We are coming to work for the future of Ondo State. A future opportunity where we will have equal right. But we will deal with the situation as we are confronted.

The Yoruba people will tell you that is what you throw at the palm trees that throws back at you. For example If you throw pounded yam into palm tree, it will hold it but if you throw stone it will throw it back at you. We don’t promise to throw anything back to anyone though we are mortals .

You are coming at a time when the party is battling with internal crisis and when the water is troubled.The crisis of the September 3 primary election is still very much on ground, one of the aspirants still in court What will you do to stable some trouble waters in the APC since you know it still battling with internal crisis?

Laughs! , I am not a miracle worker and I do not work on the water. In fact have not attempted it but I swim in it.

The APC in Ondo state and even at the national and like any other political party has is internal problems. I am going to be a stabilising factor because whosoever that is aggrieved because of the primary, I was also aggrieved.

My own reactions was even violent than theirs and rather than causing bickering I went out from it. So, coming back now, I think I am in a very strong footing and standing on very strong platform to be able to do some measure of mediation.

If you say you are hurt, I too was hurt but the only thing is that the matter in court is subjudice and we are not going to talk about it.

Let us resolve it and which ever way the court is going to resolve it, there must be internal stability. if the court resolve it against Akeredolu, the other man is coming to govern this state on a platform of a party.

You cannot desecrate the party because of personal grievance. We will do some mediation, pacification while the law continue to take its cause. If a politician is looking for still environment, then, he should not go into politics. He should just go to graveyard. That is where you will not see conflicts.

So, conflicts is part of politics. Is part of democracy. I am coming in with a clear vision, I have no adversity, I’m very clean in my mind and I’ve put my best in the last election, I didn’t win.

You claimed you have a mission hence you decided to return to the APC, what exact mission or vision do you have?

I face my career and thank God, I have been elevated to the highest rank in the profession.

I am accomplished person and my idea is how we are going to better the state be-

Are you now saying the structures of the AD in the state is being totally collapse into in the APC as you return?

We have built the AD but we are moving out even though the party was in total comatose when we came in but moving out will not throw it into more comatose.

It would still be there. The officers of AD were there. They are not moving with us .

Our movement will not collapse the party but it will make the AD not viable.

And I want to leave a legacy in this state that at one time, it was bad, at another time, it became good. We would try to see how to minimise the conflicts in the party.

How do you want people to view your personality as someone who jumps the ship of a party from one to another?

Those who followed the thread of my political journey in the state would know that my history of migration is very recent and I have being in politics for decades.

I was in PDP for sixteen years and there was no movement. If you have a vision, you have a direction.

The contemporary issue of development around you will drive your directions and they would sharpened your opinion and behavior.

I am not decamping to the APC but only a returnee. It will have be another thing if I leave the AD to another political party where I have never being.

So, Do you also intend to manage the perception that you always want to be in a ruling party?

Yes, a few people will think that why did he still want to be in power and what do I stand to benefit from in Ondo State? but the only thing I can be in Ondo State is a Governor.

I can’t be anything less but don’t forget that politics is not about me alone, you have followers too. Take for an instance, when Moses in the Bible left Egypt with the Israelites and the red sea became a barrier and they were trapped in the wilderness, we all know what was said of him.

There are some of our members who wants to be councellor, local government chairman and who want to be in House of Representatives and Senate.

If politics is all about leadership, I must

look for a way for them and I must not be selfish. I am not contesting for any position.

They are not just appointing Ministers at the centre now. So, I am not a shopper.

I am not shopping for opportunity. I must lead my people to where they can also actualise their aspiration outside my personal aspiration.

Besides, don’t forget I even informed you earlier that, all what most politicians do is to stay outside and throw pebbles and criticize that you are not doing it right, using that to prepare for their own aspiration.

It is a reverse policy. Let me also see how I can advise this young man and make things better. Whatever perception it is, over time, it will fizzle out but my conscience is clear.

Once your conscience is all clear about what you are doing, you are not doing it for personal aggrandisement but doing it for the collective interest of the people, you stand vindicated at the end of the day because what it is important is what history record about you.

But what was the first impression from your supporters when you told them you are returning to the APC? I am a leader that would consult. We went from every level to the least level and don’t forget that AD is constituted by three category of membership.

First, those who share the same vision and had reasons to leave from PDP to APC with me.

Secondly, the ones who bought into my dreams of becoming Governor in the state who I met in APC and later became my friend .Thirdly, those that were mobilised by the leaders, the supporters and admirer and everywhere to join me when I left for AD. If I said, let me return to PDP, 80 percent

There were more peculations that you returned to the APC for political reasons, is it true?

In a simple statement, what I will do next is in the hands of the Almighty but I want to do now is to help the government of the day to increase the main tempo of its performance.

All I know is that I am in politics though I practice law then I practice politics. So, I would have more time to practice law.

I would give support to the government and If in the cause of doing all of that I am inspired by the Almighty God to do anything and I know that thing.

When you left for the AD, it was in the public domain that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu sponsored you to contest on the AD platform, Now that you are back was he ( Tinubu) that engineered your return ?

Whatever it is in the public domain, every opportunity I had when I was contesting, I utilise it to debunked that impression.

It is also understandable that at his level as national leader of a party, as a most vibrant south westerner in politics today, every bad thing, people will trace to him, every good thing, they will trace to him.

The day we stop attributing such development to him, that means, he is going out of relevance. I went to AD with the view that I could actualise a mission.

I contested in 2012, was it Tinubu that asked me to contest? I also contested in 2016 and if I am still going to contest, it hasn’t going to be about Tinubu.

Therefore, if it was not the one that asked me to go to AD, then, it wouldn’t be the one to asked me to come back.

Before I decided to come back, he was one of the leaders I consulted that I am looking at APC and PDP and he was very quick in saying, I can see your strength, you are a formidable politician that will add a lot of value to us in APC. Please, join us. Whereas, I say that, he was not the one that asked me to go to AD, he was one of the leaders that encourage me to return to APC .

Kerosene adulteration and attendant tragedy

K

erosene adulteration in the country has left in its trail many casualties both in human and material. It creates cause for worry because it dates back to time.

More worrisome is in the fact that the culprits seem intractable while the trend is difficult to arrest.

Adulteration of the product comes at a huge cost for the country. While some theorists see it as something that will disappear with time, it is taking gargantuan proportion daily. The government in itself look clueless while the criminals smile to the banks riding on the throes of the blood of the innocent.

Adulteration as a word has legal implications when it comes to patent rights, that of petroleum product is more lethal because it carries with it tragic bye products that can wipe out a whole nation. This is when we remember that adulteration of kerosene causes explosions when the product is used in lanterns, stoves and other cooking instruments and this happens at short notice. Most explosions take place in the oil producing areas where this illegal act is prevalent.

Although there are no coherent statistics on the number of casualties from kerosene explosions, available indices show that it is countless and many families may never recover from the havoc caused by the tragedy.

Some examples will however suffice.

Between September 22, 2016, to January 7, 2017, a total of 18 kerosene explosion cases were recorded in Akwa Ibom State.

In this explosions, four persons died with many left incapacitated. Statistics at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital revealed that all the four dead persons were females and five of the injured, males.

The recorded explosions occurred through adulteration of the genuine products and wrongful use of the product in stoves and lanterns. The explosion usually led to skin burns which leads to loss of water, dehydration and death.

From February 2017 until present, there are several recorded kerosene explosions in Akwa Ibom and Cross River

States, claiming many lives. In one of the incidents, a 50-year-old housewife in Cross River State died. Another claimed a little boy, a mother of two and injured 17 others.

In 2007, 10 persons were found dead and 30 others seriously injured in Warri, Delta state following explosions in their homes from adulterated kerosene. Several homes were affected by the explosions, which occurred as the victims tried to light their cooking stoves or lanterns, which had been unknowingly filled with adulterated kerosene.

Of the 30 injured persons, many were left incapacitated till date.

Kerosene, is the main fuel used for cooking and lighting especially by the majority of poor citizens as an alternative to electricity and gas.

In spite of its everyday need, the scarcity of the product in Nigeria is legendary, creating cause for concern on the role of hawks and rogue government agents who divert the product for personal gains. Studies show that the scarcity is caused by deliberately inadequate importation of the product and its diversion from domestic uses to other areas. While those involved in this unholy act are known in the corridors of power, they are more less known names but remain untouchable.

From research, Kerosene may be adulterated by adding other liquids which may be miscible or immiscible. In Nigeria kerosene adulteration comes from the addition of water or petrol, or diesel or gas condensate depending on the price deferential between the product and the adulterant.

In a recent survey by the Department of Applied Science and Technology in the Oyo State Ministry of Industry, four out of the five samples of diesel taken from filling stations within the Ibadan metropolis in the South West of Nigeria indicated up to 70 percent kerosene adulteration.

The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) reported that some unscrupulous kerosene dealers in the country have cultivated the habit of adulterating domestic kerosene (HHK) in their bid to cream off excess profit from the sale of the product.

Fulani herdsmen sack over 50 communities in Plateau - Group

ÎÎÎ

A youth group under the aegis of Berom Youth Moulders Association (BYM), in Plateau on Thursday said Fulani herdsmen have sacked over 50 communities in Plateau since 2001 till date.

Speaking at a news conference in Jos, President of the Association, Mr. Choji Dalyop Chuwang, said government should intervene by reclaiming the communities that had been forcefully occupied by some of the killer herdsmen.

“This is evident in Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGA: this we can affirm because the current herdsmen in those areas are not the ones that had lived among us previously.

“Our people have been traumatized, several killed and properties destroyed to make them flee their ancestral homes which are now being occupied by the same terrorists’ herdsmen.

“It is on record that 54 communities such as Dankum (now renamed as Mahanga by Fulani), Fass (renamed as Tafawa by Fulani), Janda, Hywa, Rotchun, Rakweng, Shong I and II, Diyan Hei, Pwabeduk, Sharu, Dashugu, Tagabos, Shonong, Maseh, Kampwas, She, Kak, Dajak,Rarin, Kufang, Rantis, Jong, Zim, Lukfine, Lobiring, Angio, and Kachin, among many, were completely sacked and their inhabitants displaced in Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGA. “It is also confirmed that 93 communities have experienced one form of attack or the other across Barkin Ladi, Riyom, Jos South and Jos North LGAs”, Chuwang said.

The President of the Association also said Plateau does not have land for cattle colonies, adding that the rearing of cattle is a private and personal business which should be left in the hands of the herdsmen to ranch.

Positive reportage will encourage progress in Abia – Commissioner

By Sunday Nwakanma Umuahia

ÎÎÎ

Abia State Commissioner for Information, John Okeiyi Kalu Thursday applauded traditional/mainstream media in the state over fair reportage and effective coverage of the activities of the state.

Boroffice who stated this at Oka Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government Area of the state added that there was cordial relationship between him and the Governor.

The Daily Times gathered that since the fallout of the controversial APC primary election that produced Mr. Akeredolu, he and Senator Boroffice had not been on same political page.

Boroffice came fourth in the primary election and protested against the result with Olusola Oke who recently traced his footsteps back to the party in the state.

Senator Boroffice support for the ousted State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Isaacs Kekemeke, had also pitched him against Mr. Akeredolu.

newsmen to put in more efforts and report the positive changes going on in the state.

He urged newsmen in the state to try to project the state in a good image to avoid discouraging investors, stating, “Each time a reporter writes a negative story, he stops an investor from coming into the state”.

The state he said has the resources to move itself forward noting, “Until we are able to project a progressive state, there will be no progress in

Abia state”.

“Infrastructure is a component of the progress, but what drives progress is business”, he further said, illustrating that with insecurity for instance, no one will be willing to invest in the state.

Regretting that internet reveals about 90% negative reports from Abia, the commissioner stated “once Abia is cued into Google, information on the state is always negative. If Correspondents continuously for

two months write positively about the state, perception will change”.

Lamenting further, he said “those who know any good thing about Abia state, do not talk about it but those who know bad things about the state say that”.

Responding the Chairman, Correspondents Chapel, Comrade Emma Ugwu assured the commissioner that newsmen will do their job well and called for unrestricted information by the government to enable the

media in the state sensitize the public on the activities of the state government.

He described the commissioner as “a fast thinking and fast acting commissioner”, while commending him over the seminar, which he said was apt.

Also speaking the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Elder Agbai Kalu thanked the state commissioner for information over the seminar, while calling for it to be on regular for

Environment, Agriculture, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Information, who are working together to put measures in place that will stop the further spread of the current outbreak.”

From Africa: A status report

Conversation with Azu 040817

T ‘

Odinga’s political associates may be goading him on now, but as the tragic case of MKO Abiola showed in Nigeria’s somewhat similar experience with a unilateral declaration of presidential results, the end of the journey can be messy and unpredictable

’

he 30th summit of African Union leaders in Addis Ababa on Monday came at a moment when the continent is struggling to find its bearings.

And we didn’t need Donald Trump’s slur to remind us of the work that still needs to be done.

After years of violent conflicts, Liberia just had a peaceful transfer of power, which ushered in former world Footballer of the Year, George Oppong Weah, to office as elected president.

It was a remarkable event not just because it was the first peaceful transfer of power in 74 years; it was also an election in which the party of the incumbent lost to the opposition, after a cliffhanger of a run-off.

Nigeria had shown the way two years earlier; and later when Yahya Jammeh of Gambia wanted to step out of line, President Muhammadu Buhari and Liberia’s Ellen Johnson Sirleaf pulled him off his sticky throne by the ear.

In Monrovia though, Sirleaf ’s party has an axe to grind with her. The party will not forgive her for refusing to hand over the presidency to her deputy and the party’s candidate, Joseph Boakai. Yet she can endure the stripes knowing that she has done her best for her country.

In spite of her somewhat controversial role in the country’s bloody past and charges of nepotism during her 12-year rule, Liberia and the continent would remember Sirleaf for stabilising the country, improving infrastructure and foreign investments, and raising one of the largest armies of young voters, whose voices are vital in shaping the country’s future.

Less than twenty-four hours after Weah was sworn-in, Hugh Masakela passed on in Johannesburg. African leaders in Addis Ababa were too busy to notice the passing on of the jazz maestro, whose trumpet was one of Africa’s greatest gifts of hope and defiance.

They were probably too engrossed in the cloak-and-dagger politics of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari; or mulling the hollow speech by South Africa’s Jacob Zuma, who said that the world

Buhari is obsessed about corruption in Africa.

Even though the continent is losing an estimated $148 billion to corruption yearly, which partly accounts for why over 70 percent of the AU’s budget still depends on foreign funding, Zuma obviously could not understand why corruption should have been the focus of the Addis Ababa conference.

That’s fine. Talking about corruption in Zuma’s presence is like mentioning dry bones or counting your teeth before an old lady. No use rubbing it in.

Back to Masakela. Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Ado was the bright spot. He didn’t forget Bra Hugh. His stirring tribute to Masakela bore not only a touch of the deep personal relationship that they shared; it also conveyed something of the debt of gratitude that the continent owes one of its legends.

Masakela, Fela, Makeba and Manu Dibango, are Africa’s priceless treasures; they are storytellers whose songs remind us of our heritage, challenging us to manifest our better selves.

That’s not the story playing out in Kenya now. If the AU does not lift its head from the sand soon enough, it may have yet another bloody mess on its hand. Only days after the AU meeting in Addis Ababa, the opposition leader of the National Super Alliance (NASA), Raila Odinga, declared a parallel government in Kenya, installing himself as president.

After four previous futile attempts at becoming president,

Odinga thinks this last attempt, which was obviously his best, might well be his last.

He believes that the repeat election last year – after he successfully challenged the outcome of the first vote – was too rigged against his party to guarantee a free and fair outcome. He boycotted the poll, paving the way for Uhuru Kenyatta whose election has been validated by the Supreme Court.

It’s an irony that Odinga who was pleased when the court ruled in his favour early on, has refused to accept the verdict of the same court when the judgment did not favour him. It appears that unless he is installed president on his own terms, nothing else will satisfy him.

On his part, Kenyatta is so blinded by the bitterness from many decades of acrimonious political contest between the Kenyatta and Odinga dynasties it appears that the only place to bury the hatchet will be in the graves of hapless Kenyans.

He should be president of the whole country reaching out and trying to find ways of building a government of national unity, but he’s not doing that. He’d be more than pleased to crush the opposition into the ground, to teach them a lesson.

The memory of the over the 1,500 who died in post-election violence in Kenya 10 years ago, should mean something to the parties involved in this dispute, but I’m not sure they care any more.

Given AU’s less than flattering role in the cancelled vote, the or-

ganisation may find it a bit awkward to step in as a credible arbiter. But it cannot afford to continue playing the ostrich for much longer.

Someone needs to tell Odinga that for every Yoweri Museveni who came to power after a sustained bloody battle from the fringes of their tribal stronghold, there are hundreds if not thousands of ordinary citizens who paid the price with their lives.

With hopes of recovery in Somalia, the Central African Republic and elsewhere, the last thing the continent needs now is a fresh outbreak of bloodshed.

Odinga’s political associates may be goading him on now, but as the tragic case of MKO Abiola showed in Nigeria’s somewhat similar experience with a unilateral declaration of presidential results, the end of the journey can be messy and unpredictable.

Of course it would have been nice if Odinga won after the disputed polls, but history has shown that some of the people who made the greatest impact on history from Plato to Einstein and from Karl Marx to Mohammed Ali, did not have to be presidents of countries to make their marks.

Kenya needs to heal and move on. If the gladiators cannot find the commonsense to do the right thing, the AU must help them before things get out of hand.

UNODC tackles drug abuse with launch of 4 policy publications Angela Onwuzoo

ÏÏÏIn a decisive move to

combat the hydra headed problem of drug dependence among millions of Nigerian youths and widespread incidence of drug induced criminality and violence in the country, the United Nation Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC),is set to launch four different publications on important policies and guidelines for controlled medicines and drug dependence treatment.

The publications which were developed jointly by UNODC, Federal Ministry of Health and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) will be launched next week in Abuja by the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole and the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Moji Christianah Adeyeye under the auspices of UNODC. According to a statement by the Director,Special Duties of NAFDAC, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh,the four publications are National policy for Controlled Medicines, National Minimum Standards for Drug Dependence Treatment in Nigeria, National Guidelines on Quantification of Narcotics for Medical and Scientific Purposes and National Guidelines for the Estimation of Psychotropic Substances and Precursors.

UNODC Programme Officer, Elisabeth Bayer, in the statement, said the official launch of the four publications will be followed by a formal launch in April this year in all the six Geo-political Zones in the country.

The statement recalled that the aggravated dimension of the problem of drug abuse and it’s intricate linkage with wide spread cases of criminality, violence and insurgences in the country recently prompted the wife of the President Mrs Aisha Mohammadu Buhari to launch a national campaign against all forms of abuse.

It also noted that the launch by the wife of the President was followed by a roundtable conference on Drug Abuse organized by the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki even as the NAFDAC Boss, Prof. Adeyeye is joining the fray to flag-off massive Drug Abuse Campaign across the country.

The statement pointed out that in the recent time, the problem of drug abuse particularly among millions of Nigerian youths and house wives has become major headache for government, traditional and religious institution, international drug control agencies, families and well meaning Nigerians because of the havoc caused by the dangerous phenomenon.

Bayelsa communities commend Agip over developmental projects Akam James, Yenagoa

ÏÏÏIndigenes

of Twon Brass and Olugbo kingdom in Brass and Southern Ijaw Local Government area of Bayelsa State, have commended the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) for its continued efforts toward the development of the two communities.

According to the indigenes, the company has always lived up to its corporate social responsibility, by meeting the basic needs of host communities, thereby improving the living conditions of the people.

The group, in a press statement jointly signed by the Youth Secretary of Twon Brass, Mr. Robert Desmond, and the Community Development Committee (CDC) Chairman of Olugbo kingdom, Hon. Moses Biewari, commended the multinational company for providing a cutting-edge cold room and bakery in Twon Brass and Olugbo kingdom, respectively.

“We wish to thank the Nigerian Agip Oil Company for mounting a state-of-the-art

cold room in Twon Brass and bakery in Olugbo kingdom communities a week ago.

“This well thought-out action has once again made it evident that NAOC is concerned about the plight of our people as well as committed to improving the standard of living.

“The two facilities will no doubt create jobs, encourage industry and consequently reduce crimes in our communities, thus we are immensely grateful to the management of NAOC for coming up with such lofty initiative.

By this initiative we believe that the well-established partnership between NAOC and our communities will become more cordial,” the statement reads in part.

The statement further extolled the Managing Director of NAOC, Mr. Masimo Insulla, for working round the clock to ensure that the company has a sound relationship with host communities, while carrying out her operations in the Niger Delta region, noting that he has expressed great professionalism, integrity and compassion in the course of undertaking his job.

2 killed, 4 hospitalised as Lassa fever spreads in Delta Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

ÏÏÏNo

fewer than six persons are currently in critical condition in Asaba following the outbreak of Lassa fever, while two others were feared dead.

But the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nicholas Azinge who confirmed six cases, refused to speak on the two persons alleged to have died of the dreaded disease.

Dr. Azinge who disclosed that the six cases were being handled at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Asaba, explained the state government was determined to curb the outbreak of the disease.

According to the Commissioner, the first case brought to the FMC Asaba was that of a 43 year old male resident of the state who was successfully treated and referred to Irrua Specialist Hospital in Edo State, adding that the family members of the victim and the ambulance driver who conveyed him to the hospital were being closely monitored while other contacts tracing was ongoing.

He said that all the Primary Healthcare (PHC) Centres in the state have been activated, and sensitization activities geared up, and called on residents to report any case of malaria and typhoid fever cases

that are not responding to treatment to the nearest Medical Facility as early report of cases will save lives.

Investigation revealed that residents across the state are currently in panic mood, especially with the suspected death of two persons alleged to be prominent politicians, and the confirmation of six cases recorded.

But the Health Commissioner, Dr. Azinge further disclosed that the state government in its determination to effectively curtail the outbreak had donated personal protective items to the management of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Asaba.

He said that the second recorded case, among the six affected persons, is a female politician brought from Anambra State on Sunday, adding that it was unfortunate that the woman passed on the following day.

The items donated included: 250 pieces of disposable coat/suit, 500 pieces of elbow length gloves, 50 packets of surgical hand gloves and 50 sets of protective boots, among others.

Unconfirmed sources said the two victims who allegedly died were secretly buried to avoid publication and are indigenes of Asaba.

ÏÏÏThe

health implications of quarry activities to humans notwithstanding, Ukawu community in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State has been embroiled in lingering crisis resulting from illegal mining activities in the area.

The crisis seems to have degenerated following accusation and counter accusation of bribery, character assassination, and also to dissolve the committee setup by the state government to wade into the matter over fear of bias between the company, Ostem Global Ltd and the Coordinator of Ukaba Development Centre, Prince John Elom.

Ostem Global Ltd had petitioned Ebonyi state government that Hon. Prince Elom, who is the Coordinator of Ukaba Development Centre allegedly used his office and the name of the gov-

… As company, govt official trade words over bribery allegation ernor to swindle the company of a staggering sum of N4 million .The letter also alleged that the coordinator demanded another N2.5 million and a cow in order to pave way for the company to carry out illegal mining.

The petition which was dated December, 2017 was titled: Abuse of office, conduct orchestrated to bring disrepute to Ebonyi state government, continuous threats to lives and property and conduct orchestrated to cause breach of peace in Ukawu community by Prince John Elom, Coordinator of Ukaba Development Centre was addressed to the governor, Engr.

David Umahi.

However, Prince John Elom through his Counsel, D. I. Njoku & Co had described the letter of Ostem Global Ltd as defamatory. He said his client had no time make any bribery demand from the company or any other person or governor’s name to allow

the company to continue its illegal mining.

He added that the allegation was made with the sole aim to ridicule the image and hard earned reputation of his client and ordered that the company should tender a public unreserved apology to John Elom within one month.

In a related development, President of Amofia Ezeoke Odomu Ugbala of Ukaba Development Centre in Onicha local government area of Ebonyi state, Hon. Prince John Elom, has called on the Ebonyi state to revisit the members of the mining committee, alleging bias.

He said through his Counsel, “Our attention has been drawn to the committee constituted by the ministry to look into the remote causes of the crisis rocking the mining activities at Ukawu community as a result of the illegal mining activities in the community.

“It is our information that

Kenya’s government arrests Odinga’s supporters after swearing in …As court cancels clampdown on media house

Raila Odinga during the swearing in ceremony in Kenya

Bonny Amadi with agency report

ÏÏÏKenyan

government headed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, has arrested Kenyan Member of Parliament, TJ Kajwang, who presided over the symbolic inauguration of Raila Odinga among many others.

The legislator who is also one of Odinga’s lawyers was arrested outside a court building in the capital, Nairobi.

Local media reported that Kajwang has been directed to go to the Offices of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation.

The arrest follows the gazetting by the Kenyan government, of the National Resistance Movement opposition outfit led by Raila Odinga, as a criminal organization.

Wearing a lawyer’s robe and wig, Kajwang was one of the people flank-

ing Odinga as he took the ‘oath’ as the people’s president yesterday at Uhuru Park before thousands of his supporters.

According to agency report, Kenyan police has confirmed that one of the opposition leaders’ residence was attacked last night, after they recovered a stun hand grenade and shells of live bullets.

Odinga, a former Prime Minister and leader of the main opposition bloc, NASA, on Tuesday took an oath of office as the People’s president. Odinga says he won elections held in August 2017 but was denied victory due to electoral fraud.

NASA secured a September 1, 2017 cancellation of the results as the Supreme Court ordered a vote rerun. They boycotted the October 26 process stressing that the necessary reforms had not taken place.

The vote, however, took

place with incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta winning by a landslide. He took office in December last year following which NASA also said they will hold a parallel swearing in.

Kalonzo Musyoka, who skipped the ‘swearing in’ ceremony Wednesday was Odinga’s running mate and designated deputy people’s president.

World’s tallest man, smallest woman visit Egypt’s pyramid

ÏÏÏThe

world’s tallest man and the world’s smallest woman made history as they visited Egypt’s famous pyramid.

Agency reports said that the visit, the first by the world’s tallest man and smallest woman to Egypt. They were 35-yearold Kurdish Sultan Kosen, the first person in the world to measure more than 2 metres.

Contrary to the gigantic Kurdish, Jyoti Amge, who accompanied the tallest man, prides as the world’s smallest person measuring only 62.7 cm.

The unique couple was invited by the Egyptian Council for Tourism Promotion to visit the most famous sites in order to stimulate tourism in the country.

I only saw Egypt on Google and it was one of my dreams to see the pyramids. I’m extremely happy to stand in front of the pyramids and be photographed next to them.

“I really enjoyed this trip; I saw the pyramids and the Nile and I wish everyone had the opportunity to visit Egypt, to see the Nile and the

pyramids and everything I saw. Egypt is a wonderful country,” said Sultan Kosen The unusual size of the 35-year-old Turkish man was caused by a disease called “pituitary gigantism”, the result of an overproduction of growth hormones.

“I went to many very different places, I visited so many countries and one of my dreams was to visit Egypt,” said a jolly Jyoti.

“I only saw Egypt on Google and it was one of my dreams to see the pyramids. I’m extremely happy to stand in front of the pyramids and be photographed next to them; I can’t believe it. I love Egypt!” she added.

Amge is suffering from Achondroplasia which can’t allow her to grow any further.

Gambians on social media protest arrest, detention of President’s critic ÏÏÏGambians

especially on social media have continued to protest the overnight detention of a political scientist who criticized the country’s security.

According to agency report, Dr Ismail Ceesay, a university lecturer was picked up on Wednesday and detained at a police station in the capital, Banjul. He was “unconditionally” released on Thursday morning by the police.

Meanwhile, an official police statement denied he was arrested stating that they had “invited Dr. Ismaila Ceesay to the police headquarters for questioning over statements he made that were published on Wednesday 31 January 2018 edition of The Voice Newspaper.

Dr. Ceesay according to the publication had said the con-

Adama Barrow

tinued presence of ECOWAS forces in the country could not guarantee total security.

He said the incumbent Adama Barrow needed to win the trust of the army, something he has so far failed to do.

“Barrow is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces but did he one day visit any military barracks since he came to power? That should

have been his first mission.

He should go to the army and tell them that he has trust in the army, in defending our territorial integrity. And he can talk to them about their problems.”

The report pointed that most protesting Gambians said the style of the arrest and the circumstances surrounding it all but sent the country back into the Jammeh era, where people were picked up and detained without reason. Some detained persons have died in custody reportedly due to torture.

It would be recalled that ECOWAS forces intervened in the Gambian crisis in January 2017 when Jammeh refused to step down after losing December 2016 polls. The regional force was meant to oust him after the expiration of his mandate.

African leaders spare Trump of rebuke due to his respectful letter

ÏÏÏAfrican

leaders refrained from issuing a resolution to caution the US president, Donald Trump’s over his alleged reference to African countries as “shithole countries” because the U.S. president sent them a letter expressing respect for the continent.

According to agency report, the leaders who met at an African Union summit in

Ethiopian capital were initially set to ask for apology from Trump over the remark reported by sources at a meeting on immigration with him this month. Trump denies making the comment.

Remarks touched a nerve because they come on top of decisions by the Trump administration, particularly on visa restrictions, that many Africans say unfairly penalize

the continent.

I want to underscore that the United States deeply respects the people of Africa and my commitment to strong and respectful relationships with African states as sovereign states is firm.

As the summit was being held at ministerial level, the gathering drafted a resolution calling on Trump to “publicly apologise to all Africans”.

Pillars stop Plateau Utd as Akwa Utd hold FC Ifeanyi Ubah

N

T

he Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung has congratulated the Super Eagles for clinching a ticket to the final of the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) after a 1-0 victory over Sudan.

A goal in the 14th minute by Gabriel Okechukwu was all that coach Salisu Yusuf needed to book a place in the final against host-Morocco on Sunday.

“I am so excited about this team and millions of football loving Nigerians who are rooting for the team to succeed in Morocco.

They have shown that they are a work in progress as they continue to improve with every game” The minister praised the team for staying strong in the face of adversity to qualify for their first final since the inception of the competition after Ifeanyi Ifeanyi got sent off very early in the second half for the second bookable offence of the night.

“Staying together to see out the game after the team was reduced to 10 men must be applauded. These boys braced all odds to achieve a result that will see the team play in their first final since the inception of CHAN. “I must commend the team for a job well done despite coming with a great price tag. We were all worried when the captain and number 1 choice goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa got injured earlier in the first half and had to be replaced by Dele Ajiboye.

“We are improving with each match and I’m positive that in about two weeks or there about we will pick away win where nobody expects us to get it.

“We are heading to Uyo to confront Akwa United with positive mind and like I said we will get away win where nobody expects it.

“We have players who can do it for us so you should expect positive result at Uyo,” said Mangut.

CHAN 2018: Why Eagles won – Ajiboye At a time so early in the game when Ikechukwu Ezenwa was injured in the match against Sudan and millions of football loving Nigerians became very apprehensive. Dele Ajiboye came in as a replacement and his performance calmed the nerves of Nigerians as the Super Eagles defeated Sudan 1-0 to book a place in the final of the ongoing CHAN 2018 against Morocco , the host nation.

the exit door for a second bookable offence.

According to Ajiboye, he never expected Ezenwa to be injured in the game. He said, “sadly when it happened and he could not continue, I was asked to start warming up and I eventually came into the game to have my first feel of the tournament as a goalkeeper. But before I entered, Coach Aloy Agu told me that I should calm down because anyone of the goalkeepers can be called upon at any game to be in goal and there lied my own opportunity” “Anytime we were training , Coach Aloy Agu normally tells us (the goalkeepers) that we should work very hard and be ready at anytime for the day anyone of us can be called upon for duty in goal

for the team” “In the game against Sudan, I never knew that there would be injury to Ikechukwu Ezenwa. We don’t pray for injury, but it is the sad part of our profession. So, when Ezenwa’s injury appeared to be very serious, I was asked to start warming up and I was about to enter to replace Ezenwa. Coach Aloy Agu said to me that, Dele you are also a very good goalkeeper, this is your chance to tell the world about your qualities. ”Therefore, go in and ensure victory for Nigeria. These words really encouraged me and I was very confident, ” he said.

The game was very tensed and difficult as the Sudanese side pressured for equaliser and the goalkeeper revealed that he was very confident that the Super Eagles will

emerge victorious despite some injuries to some players and they were managing go continue. But he doubted when Ifeanyi Ifeanyi got a red card early in the second half. ” I was confident that the team would win . We were under pressure. Some players were injured and were only managing to continue, but I was a bit nervous and doubtful when Ifeanyi Ifeanyi got a red card in the second half. ” I then talked to Kalu Orji to tell the other players not to worry and that we should continue playing our normal game and at the end of the 90 minutes , Nigeria won the game,” he said.

Nigeria will trade tackles against Morocco, the host nation at Grand stade at Casablanca on Sunday.

NNPC mulls PPP arrangements for oil, gas pipelines

Air Peace acquires Embraer 145 jet aircraft

Abuja

Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

By idu Jude

The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has urged the new board of a downstream subsidiary companies, the Nigerian Pipeline Storage Company (NPSC), to partner with the private sector to build more pipelines parallel to the corporation’s existing ones.

Baru, who gave this charge, while inaugurating the new Board of the company at the NNPC Towers in Abuja, said such partnership would enhance NPSC’s profitability.

He said: “Your work also is to look at refurbishing these pipelines and storage along a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement by getting willing private companies to invest in these pipelines.

“NNPC Management is very much disposed to supporting your efforts in this regard,” the GMD stated.

Baru further urged the company to double its pipeline network in the next 10 years, stressing that such a target was “absolutely necessary.”

The GMD described pipelines as arteries of the nation’s oil and gas Industry, adding that part of the reform process embarked upon by the corporation under his watch was to birth an NPSC that has a clear focus which sees pipeline storage and distribution as real business.

“I have a passion for this company and I believe this firm will be a leader in that segment of our operations. That is why we focused our energy on refurbishing, repairing and re-streaming of our storage facilities and pipelines over the last

few months,” Dr. Baru noted.

He charged them to also integrate, through their pipelines resources, the various butanisation depots which are used as reception points for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

“We have a lot of LPG that is being exported. This could be utilized domestically in line with our vision of providing alternative energy sources for domestic and industrial use nationwide,” he stressed.

Dr. Baru tasked the NPSC management to engage the various host state governments towards the restoration of the Products Right of Way (PRoW) to ensure the safety of

the citizens and products.

He added that most of the state governments were ever-willing to support the corporation in preventing infringements on its PRoW. He expressed NNPC Management’s readiness to engage security agencies against any act of economic sabotage towards the pipelines.

Responding, the Chairman of the NPSC Board and Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Services, NNPC, Mr. Isa Inuwa, pledged the readiness of the board to support the NPSC management towards achieving its set targets.

“It is our vision to transit NPSC

to a market-phasing, competitive and profit-making organisation. We are committed as a board to deliver on this mandate,” Inuwa stated.

Also speaking, the Managing Director of the company, Engr. Luke Anele thanked the NNPC management, saying that although the task before his team was huge, it would nonetheless leave up to expectations.

Aside Inuwa, who is the Chairman, the new board also has Engr.

Henry Ikem-Obi, Engr. Luke Anele, Mr. Umar Ajiya, Mr. Ahmadu Sambo, Mr. Abdullahi Gunda, Mr. Ahmed Danladi, Mrs. Betty A. Ugonna as members and Mr. Victor Omoluabi as secretary.

Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace made history on Wednesday with the setting up of a subsidiary moments after taking delivery of one of the six 50-seater new generation Embraer 145 jets it recently acquired.

The aircraft, which touched down at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos at about 5.49 pm, will operate under the carrier’s subsidiary, Air Peace Hopper.

“The arrival of our latest new generation aircraft marked 5N-BUY has once again underscored our determination to bring Nigeria together through air connectivity and fix the air travel difficulties of many unserved and underserved cities in the country. “We are even more pleased that the arrival of the aircraft marks the beginning of our subsidiary, Air Peace Hopper. Another of the six Embraer 145 jets we recently acquired will arrive in Nigeria in less than a week’s time.

“We will organise our plan to link many cities in the North and South of Nigeria under the subsidiary. Under Air Peace Hopper, we hope to connect routes such as Enugu-KanoEnugu, Benin-Port-Harcourt-Benin, Port-Harcourt-Kano-Port-Harcourt, Lagos-Warri-Port-Harcourt-WarriLagos.

Toll Plaza and the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza, which started, February 1, 2018, the management of Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC) has expressed satisfaction, stating that there have been massive compliance from the motorists.

The Managing Director, LCC, Mr. Mohammed Hassan made the confirmation yesterday in a media parley organized to update journalists on the outcome of day one operation following the new tariff announced last week.

Speaking at the parley, Hassan said that the increment was an economic decision done at the right time so that they would not continue to increase the tariff every now and then.

Hassan said that the review made last was introduced 7 years ago, but they have been series of consultations going on to ensure that they don’t do the review all the time, adding that, if LCC didn’t take a firm decision, they will be doing the review every year.

On the timing, the CEO said, “The more we wait, the more we experience new issues. In November, last year, we made an attempt to carry out the review , but the governor was not happy. He asked us to make more consultations which we have done now. It was called off and despite that, motorists were already paying and complying.

“We now sat down and started

this during the Christmas but later stepped it down. We decided to tackle it once and for all and take care of the challenges.

Hassan urged motorists to go etag, stressing that motorists who use e-tags are entitled to 10 per cent or 50 per cent discounts depending on their usage. He also pointed out that it is their own way of making the motorists be happy.

On the level of compliance, Hassan said ‘the compliance level is massive. If there is no compliance, by now, you would have seen protests.

We are however, in a democratic government; there is right of choice for those who are willing to pay and those who don’t want to pay.

Hassan emphasized that the initiative is going to bring a lot of developments in the area, saying, “Out of 10 roundabouts, 6 have been converted to intersections. We have Aja flyover; we have intention of extending the road up to Eleko Beach so that the benefits we have here can be extended down there and it may spill over to Epe that is enjoying almost 6 lanes now. There is a disconnection between what we have here and Epe. Is it not possible to connect here to Epe? Why don’t we link Epe to Lekki”.

Advising motorists to imbibe the culture of e-tag, DGM, Customer Services and Marketing, Adelola Hassan said that e-tag is not elitist, contrary to some beliefs.

Business News B2 Lagos releases N5.5bn to contractors for 181 inner roads Daily Times Nigeria Friday, February 2, 2018

Benjamin Omoike

The Lagos state government on Thursday said it has released the sum of N5.563billion to contractors to flag off the construction of the 181 roads spread across the 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.

In a statement by the state’s Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, the government said the construction of the 181 council roads was in fulfillment of the promise by governor Akinwunmi Ambode to open up more inner roads

across the state following the successful delivery of the 114 roads in September 2016.

According to Akinsanya, the roads would be constructed in phases, noting that phase one will see the construction of one road each in the 20 LGs and 37 LCDAs of which contractors have been mobilised to move to site immediately.

The Commissioner said the sum of N5,563,697,382.00 released was 30 percent payment for the construction of the 57 roads while the total cost of the roads stands at N18,545,657,940.00.

“The roads will be done in phases, already phase one has

been released. This phase involves 57 roads cutting across the 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas.

To enhance immediately mobilization to site, 30 percent has been given to all the contractors upfront. This is in line with the magnanimity of governor Ambode’s administration to ensure service delivery all year round,” Akinsanya said.

He said due process was observed in awarding the contracts, adding that bids were opened on November 1, 2017 after which they were evaluated and considered.

He said there are 57 contractors

involved in the first phase of the construction with a mandate to deliver in six months.

“Governor Ambode is totally committed to ensuring that Lagosians continue to enjoy good governance. There are many projects going on simultaneously across the state and the roads to be constructed will further open up the LGs and LCDAs for economic prosperity,” Akinsanya said.

The Commissioner, however, urged residents to continue to pay their taxes promptly to enable the government meet up with its target to complete all ongoing projects in the state this year.

Poor holiday sales: Apple slashes iPhoneX production target by 20 million units Ladesope L adelokun with agency report In what appears to be a departure from its 40 million iPhone X units quarter, Apple has notified suppliers that its iPhone X production target for the first quarter of 2018 is now 20 million units following a disappointing holiday sale, according to a report by Nikkei.

The iPhone X is the company’s most advanced smartphone yet but it also comes with a staggering price tag. While iPhones have never been cheap, the iPhone X is the most expensive one yet, sporting a $999 starting price.

The high price tag might have put off prospective customers and Apple’s holiday sales were reportedly worse than it expected. Hence, the company has decided to cut iPhone X production targets in half in the first quarter of this year.

Nikkei details that the lower production target stems from disappointing holiday sales in the United States, Europe, and China.

Apple will reportedly maintain its 30 million production target for other models in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 series.

This dramatic reduction in iPhone X production targets, however, might deal heavy blows worth billions of dollars to Apple suppliers.

“The production cuts for the X will have a domino effect on manufacturers that have supplied high-performance components for the handset, with the combined impact expected to run into billions of dollars,” says Nikkei.

The iPhone X is the first smartphone from Apple to feature an organic light-emitting diode display, which is partly why it’s so expensive.

Reports indicated that the iPhone X has a high price tag because the OLED displays from Samsung are expensive. Apple could not also find another supplier that could guarantee a constant, reliable supply at lower costs.

With this in mind, Nikkei also notes that Apple is now considering to lower the production of iPhone models with OLED displays and boost the production of iPhone models with LCD displays.

Retail shareholders should take advantage of market growth -Stakeholders

Cross section of stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market have cautioned against unfounded statements by uninformed retail investors some of whom have called for caution on prevailing market growth.

Cross section of stakeholders who spoke to Daily Times urged retail investors to take advantage of current market growth and have returns on their investment, reinforcing that market has the tradition of up and down equity price movement, which benefits different categories of investors.

Daily Times Nigeria recall that the national coordinator of the Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria (ISAN), recently cautioned against bubble in the equities market.

However, cross section of capital market stakeholders maintained that, instead of raising eyebrow on

market steady growth, retail investors were urged to take advantage of prevailing market growth and benefit from equity price rise by taking in profit, against the traditional stand of sitting by the fence and complain.

A stock broker speaking on condition of anonymity said ‘ if equity price rises , it benefits some investors who are bent on profit taking, also if equity prices declines, it also benefits some category of investors that want to boost their holdings, so whichever way equity price moves to, it certainly benefits investors” the broker said.

Also reacting to the prevailing market bullish trend, Mr. Donald Kugbe, a Lagos state stock broker told Daily Times Nigeria that the bubble alarm raised by the national president of the Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria (ISAN), may scare retail investors from the market instead of strengthening them to take

advantage of earning opportunities prevailing in the bourse.

Kugbe said ‘that is not correct, because Nigeria is not alone in positive equities performance prevailing globally. We are number three last year in equities performance ranking globally and all over the world equities market are doing very well, so the growth trajectory is always there for our market and other performing markets across the globe and people who understands this take advantage of the opportunities the market provided” According to Kugbe, the Nigerian Stock exchange is not doing badly, and as the third best performing market in 2017, the trend has continued in 2018 and may further lead to a better performance, a trend he wants retail investors to understand appreciate.

Explaining why the Nigerian market has remained bullish, Kugbe said

that understanding the fact that Nigeria came out of recession in 2017, reinforced investors’ confidence in the nation’s bourse. “When economy is coming out of recession the growth pace will be high because of renewed confidence as more investors try to reinforce their position in the market.

He added: “Second, we are expecting full year result of many companies and the market is gearing towards that.”

The stock broker stressed that, what might look like a bubble in equity price movement should be looked at from the economy point of view and devalued currency which has reduced the worth of the Naira even trading at ‘assumed” high price.

“You might think that the market is going up, but you have to know that because the naira has been devalued, the N50 naira of today is not the same of yesterday, so when you see a company trading at N50.00, it is as good as trading at 10 or N15.00 before devaluation of the Naira. So, the market is just adjusting to the realities of the macro economy.

Electricity: BEDC cuts off Delta community over N4.16m debt Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Sequel to alleged power consumption debt of about N4.16million, the people of Ugbolu in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State and within the State Capital Territory, has been placed on perpetual darkness by the authorities of Benin Electricity Power Distribution Company (BEDC) for several months now, thereby crippling commercial activities in the community and environs.

Making a clarion call in an interview with our reporter at Ugbolu, a community leader, Ogbueshi Christopher Okonkwo, Ezeudo of Ugbolu, has appealed to the Chief Whip and member representing Oshimili North Constituency in Delta State House

of Assembly, Hon. Barr Princess Ajudua, to come to the rescue of the residents of Ugbolu by taking all necessary steps to assist the people and ameliorating the suffering of the people of the area.

Okonkwo alleged that the authorities of BEDC only supplied power to Ugbolu between April and August 2016; and served them with a power consumption bill of N4.16 million, adding that “except we get help from higher authorities Ugbolu community may remain in perpetual darkness for a very long time”.

Also speaking, a public affair commentator, Comrade David Okonkwo Agoke, a resident of Ugbolu, further appealed to the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili federal constituency, at the federal House of Representatives, Hon. (Evang) Onyemaechi

Mrakpor to come to their rescue, by ensuring the restoration of light to Ugbolu community.

Meanwhile, suspected gang rapists and robbers, strongly believed to be of Fulani extraction, have allegedly invaded the farmlands in some parts of Okpanam Community in Oshimili North Local Government Area, Delta State.

The areas of the community allegedly under serious threats include the Abodei Camp in Obodogwugwu Quarters, as well as the satellite towns belonging to Ogbeojie/Amachai Quarters, as the suspects usually go in cluster groups, armed with some dangerous weapons and, in most cases with wild dogs to supplement their offensive antics.

Narrating her ordeal to our reporter, a lucky woman, who escaped death

by the whiskers at Abodei Camp in Obodogwugwu Quarters last Wednesday, who did not want her name in print said, “if not for the timely intervention of God, who brought in a commercial motorcycle (okada) man who my husband had earlier phoned to carry me with my bags of cassava, the Fulani men would have rape-killed me in the farm as they had surrounded me before the sudden arrival of the okada man and five of them suddenly dispersed into the bush”.

She lamented that these days, women hardly to their farms alone, unless they are accompanied by their husbands or other male farmers, for protection.

Also recounting his experience, at Ogbeojie New Site, one Pastor Chris alleged that “these Fulani men who are usu-

ally armed with dangerous weapons have often invaded my compound with over 10 giant wild dogs, at times, threatened to attack me for challenging them to stop destroying my crops in the farm”.

Farmers in Obodogba Quarters, have also complained that within the past few months, a combined team of robbers suspected to be of Fulani extraction with their counter parts from Ebonyi State (Abaka-

liki people) have been involved in massive harvest of yams in their farms, as over 30 farmers have so far allegedly lost about 100 tubers of yam each in their farms, a situation which has forced most Obodogba farmers to embark on the speedy harvesting of their produce and carting them home immediately.

A farmer, Ogbueshi Austin Nwaedozie said he has so far lost over 105 tubers of yam to these robbers.

FMDQ Achieves N142.00 trn market turnover in 2017

The FMDQ thecounter (OTC) market total turnover saw a year-onyear growth rate of 24.97 per cent, rising from the N113.65 trillion recorded in 2016 to N142.00 trn in 2017, however, in response to the gradual recovery of the Nigerian economy, following the recessionary trends which shaped activities in the year 2017.

The OTC market report showed that the FMDQ’s experienced a slow but steady improvement, with growth primarily driven by trading activities in the FX and Treasury bills (T-bills) markets.

According to the report, trading activities in the Tbills market contributed the largest to overall turnover, accounting for 42.47% of the total market turnover, whilst FX transactions (including FX derivatives) followed with a combined share of 26.90%, and Repos/Buy-backs accounted for 22.46%.

Bonds and Money Market transactions (including Unsecured Placement & Takings, Commercial Papers and Money Market Derivatives), on the other hand, had smaller shares of the market, accounting for 7.01% and 1.16%, respectively.

This turnover represents trades executed among Dealing Members, Dealing Members & Clients, and Dealing Members & the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

PMI January headline reading declines to 54.6 Stories: Bonny Amadi The no 58 of FBN Quest research manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for Nigeria, which takes the temperature of the sector released February 01, 2018 showed a decline to 54.6 per cent, from 68.7 per cent posted in the preceding month of December 2017.

According to the report, the headline in January has posted a monthly fall every year since its launch. Even as the index owners cautioned one month ago that such a fall was expected.

The headline reading declined significantly from 68.7 to 54.6 in January. The decline was attributed to a short-lived boost in seasonal demand even as there was no trickledown effect into January.

PMIs are forward-looking indicators of sentiment in all economies, and have the proven capacity to move financial markets in developed economies.

To reinforce the point, the latest national accounts cover the third quarter (July-September) and the latest PMI the first month of the first quarter of the New Year.

The index history has shown that ,typically, January through to March have come to be associated with relatively slow months with regards to availability of funds which usually lead to subdued consumer confidence.

Subsequently, during the period, the reading for new orders slumped and the same trend reflected in the output sub-index.

The traditional seasonal pick-up in household demand has come and gone. As a result of the CBN’s exchange-rate reforms, manufacturers have enjoyed much-improved ac-

Guinness posts N3.5bn PBT in Q2 2018 result Ï^ Ɛ 6ơ ^ j Ə ƓƐ Ƈ ơƿǀêÕǀ ü ƕƃƕ

Guinness Nigeria has shown remarkable improvement in its earnings as the company’s key performance indices for the second quarter (Q2) 2018 results for the period ended 31 December 2017 reflected marked growth.

The company’s Q2 result released by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) showed that the company has recovered on balance sheet restructuring with strong topline growth by 35.9 per cent q/q and 11.5 per cent y/y.

However, the gross margin results was mixed with a negative of -117.8bps q/q and growth by 600.9bps y/y.

Guinness in Q2 2018 posted contraction in operating ex-

penses (opex) to sales ratio which declined -246.4bps q/q; and further dropped by -642.1bps y/y. The company’s result showed recovery in profit before tax (PBT) which peaked at N3.5billion in Q2 2018 against N41million in Q1 2018.

According to the result, revenue grew to N40.7billion, reflecting expansion by 35.9 per cent q/q and 11.5 per cent y/y. Profit before tax enhanced to N3.50bn against N41.40million in Q1 2018, indicating 243per cent growth y/y. Profit after tax peaked at N2.1bn against N41.40m in Q1 2018, reflecting growth by 187 per cent y/y.

The company’s result for the half (H1 2018) year period

further showed that revenue grew by 18.60 per cent year on year (y/y) to N70.56bn.

Profit before tax for the half year period closed higher at N3.54bn, buoyed by 175.95 per cent y/y, while Profit after tax for the period closed with 145.64 per cent growth y/y to peak at N2.1bn.

Although the increase in top line performance was partly attributable to a price hikes about 25 per cent of revenue growth, the company’s management revealed that revenue performance was mainly the result of volume increases in its value and mainstream brands.

Furthermore, the net interest expense performance may not be unconnected with the

company’s recent right issue used to restructure its balance sheet.

This however led to a -71 per cent y/y decline in loans and borrowings contributing to the slide in net debt to equity ratio to 1.7 per cent as at Q2 2018, from 104 per cent as at Q2 2017. On a sequential basis, Guinness’ results were reflective of the impact of the festive period and the lower base effect of Q1 2018 when the company reported PBT of N41m.

The Q2 2018 performance was due to the +35.9% q/q jump in revenues, -246bps slide in opex to sales ratio as well as the -80.9% q/q drop in net finance cost, which combined to more than offset the -117bps moderation in gross profit margin.

cess to fx since mid-2017. It is just that there has not been a matching and enduring improvement in consumption demand.

The report pointed that MPI headline reading has been above 50 since March and was driven mainly by the CBN’s use of multiple foreign exchange windows, which has enhanced availability of funds.

Through the CBN fx window, manufacturers, or indeed any users of fx, now have reliable access to foreign exchange, so far they are comfortable with the prevailing

exchange rate.

The good impact of the fx window has manifested in the good results recorded by listed companies, in the PMIs and also inflation data.

Manufacturing achieved growth of 2.6% q/q in Q3 2017.

Food, beverages and tobacco, its largest segment, grew by 0.6% q/q. Meanwhile, textiles, apparel and footwear achieved close to 8% growth q/q.

Investment in backward integration, support for cotton growers from state governments and fx availability for machinery could all have played a part.

Manufacturing expanded by 2.6% q/q in Q3 2017. The two largest sub-sectors are food, beverages and tobacco, and textiles, apparel and footwear, which posted growth of 0.6% and 7.5%, respectively.

0 M_ƑƆ Ɛô ^L9 Ƌƈƍ Ɛ ǀƿêÕ ƈ C Ƒ Əƕ Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) declined to 54.6 from 68.7 in January, says FBNQuest in its latest report.

The report put together in collaboration with NOI Polls, showed that all five sub-indices declined in December, four of them by more than ten points and that of employment moved into negative territory.

“We cautioned one month ago that such a fall was expected. The holiday season has ended, and with it the temporary boost to consumer demand,” the reported stated.

The headline reading has been above 50 since March.

The principal driver has been the CBN’s use of multiple fx windows, which has transformed liquidity. Manufacturers, or indeed any users of fx, now have reliable access to fx provided that they are comfortable with the price. This is evident from the PMIs but also inflation data and listed company results. ” We have added “trigger” questions, which apply when the respondent has the same answer on a sub-index for two months and then changes it for the third. Two particularly interesting comments this time are references to the fuel scarcity and the nonpayment of salaries.

“In the unweighted model of our choice (the ISM’s), respondents are asked whether output, employment, new orders, suppliers’ delivery times and stocks of purchases have improved on the previous month, are unchanged or have declined. A headline reading of 50 is neutral. We have posted nine negative readings since our launch in April 2013, the latest in January 2017,” it added.

Manufacturing expanded by 2.6% q/q in Q3 2017. The two largest sub-sectors are food, beverages and tobacco, and textiles, apparel and footwear, which posted growth of 0.6% and 7.5% respectively.

Speaking further, Mr. Oduoza reaffirmed his belief that the number of merchant banks in Nigeria is still very low and there is opportunity for more, considering the key role merchant banks play. “The major international financial institutions involved in investment banking are doing very well.

and cutting-edge technology, necessary to deliver its mandate as a merchant bank. “We have structured our products and designed our business model around merchant banking. We have carved a niche for ourselves and we believe strongly we will deliver in this area,” he promised the customers.

On corporate governance, he assured the highest standards are maintained at NOVA. “There are three executive directors and six non-executive directors. So, we have twice the number of non-executive directors as executive directors. Out of those six directors, we have four independent directors.

These board members are well accomplished and capable of independent opinion.”

NEITI charges Reps to use reports to reform oil sector

Myke Uzendu, Abuja

The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) has appealed to the National Assembly to use the findings of its audit reports to push for wider reforms in the oil and gas industry.

The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Waziri Adio, made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja, while receiving members of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Petroleum Upstream who were on monitoring and oversight

visit to the NEITI secretariat.

Adio explained that NEITI reports contain detailed information and data on company payments and government receipts as well as the process lapses and remedial actions required in the industry.

He said, “We see the parliament as important partners not just because we are answerable to you and we need you to approve our budget, but because our reports can and should be inputs to your important work” The NEITI Boss expressed

concerns that several reports with far-reaching recommendations have been placed in the public domain with clear implementation challenges and urged the National Assembly to study the reports as it will aid their oversight functions and lawmaking responsibilities.

He commended the National Assembly for the passage of the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill, saying that the development is in support of the mandate of NEITI which is fundamental to strengthening reforms in the industry and key to promot-

ing investments and better revenue generation.

The Executive Secretary told the legislators that NEITI’s decision to develop a new strategic plan to cover the period from 2017 to 2021 was to deepen openness and shape positively the overall governance of the sector through policy engagement, thought leadership and inter agency collaboration.

He identified funding, manual data collection and human capacity development as major challenges of the Agency.

In their address, the

Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Upstream, Hon (Barr.) Victor Nwokolo expressed satisfaction over the impact of NEITI’s intervention in pushing for reforms in the extractive industries.

Nwokolo commended NEITI for its professionalism in the discharge of its mandate, advising him to consider as a priority the need for NEITI to work more closely with the National Assembly to advance transparency and accountability in the industry.

He explained that the visit was to review NEITI’s level of implementation of the 2017 Budget and appraise the implementation of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Nigeria in the last one year.

States urged to be integral part of ERGP Labs process

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

Representatives of state governments on Wednesday met in Abuja at a workshop organized by the Ministry of Budget and National Planning as part of the integration process by the Federal Government to ensure full participation of subregional governments in the Focus Labs scheduled to commence next month.

The Minister, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, explained that the workshop was designed for representatives of state governments to explain the essence of the labs set up as part of Government’s effort to ensure the full and effective implementation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

Udoma explained that the meeting was to explore how best state governments can be fully integrated into the lab process because the full participation of state governments in the labs

is necessary to ensure its success.

He reiterated that the ERGP was fashioned out to address the challenged economy which the Muhammadu Buhari inherited as he pointed out that some positive results are already manifesting following the adoption of the ERGP, including the economy’s exit from recession in the second quarter of 2017.

“Furthermore, we have succeeded in reversing the rising rate of inflation, and since the first quarter of 2017, the rate of inflation has been declining. Confidence in the economy has returned. Evidence of this is the fact that we have successfully reversed the capital flight we had been experiencing, and as a result our foreign reserves have been rising. Indeed, our foreign reserves are currently over US$40 billion, up from about US$23 billion as at September 2016. In addition, our forex markets and rates have stabilised, and our ranking in the World Bank Ease of Doing Business ranking has moved up 24 places from 169 in 2016 to 145 in

2017”, he indicated.

Whilst these positive results are encouraging, the Minister said more still needs to be done to achieve the ambitious targets of the ERGP and ensure that the benefits of the improved economic performance is felt by most Nigerians. “And that is why we are embarking on these focus labs to quicken the pace of the improvement of the economy and the achievement of the targets we have set for ourselves in the ERGP.” The minister noted that weak implementation has always been the bane of past development plans which was why the present administration decided to set up the ERGP Implementation Unit in the Ministry to facilitate the delivery of key execution priorities of the plan. It is this Implementation Unit that is organising the focus labs, he added.

The focus labs are basically the bringing together of all relevant players: investors, both domestic and international, subject matter specialists, government officials at

both Federal and State level, and other participants and stakeholders, to mobilise high impact investments for large projects that would contribute significantly to Gross Domestic Product and job-creation. The focus labs therefore are fora for private sector investors to bring forward their entry-point project or projects they would like to invest in, and discuss with senior government officials in a closed setting.

Udoma stressed that these are aimed at driving big, fast results in the selected area. The labs will be starting with three key areas: Agriculture and Transport, Manufacturing and Processing, and Power and Gas, reflecting some of the execution priorities of the ERGP; but will continue subsequently in other areas such as entertainment, services, sports and the media.

He recalled that at the last National Economic Council meeting on Thursday January 18, 2018, he had briefed the Governors on the labs and asked for the participation of States.
