North West govs grant amnesty to cattle rustlers, others

Continued from page 1

“As from today, no vigilante group member or volunteers should attack or kill any herdsman, as sacrifice must be made by both sides to ensure peace reign.

“Herdsmen and their families should be allowed to go for their normal businesses, attend markets and worship places without molestation provided they don’t carry arms.

“Those bandits who rustled animals from communities should immediately return them to the government or Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association. Bandits should surrender their weapons and immediately release all those kidnapped and now under their custody.

“We are happy that we have seen some releases of kidnapped victims from Zamfara and other states,”

he said.

The governor also said the states would intensify efforts to provide necessities that would make nomadic life meaningful like hospitals, schools, grazing reserves among others.

Also, Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State said that the states would provide grazing reserve for the herders for them to settle in one place in the zone.

Matawalle said: “We are concerned that herders are always roaming around with their animals thereby exposing themselves to different kinds of hazards.

The governors took a uniform measure, you should also take a uniform decision not to rustle animals, kidnap or kill anyone.

“You should immediately release all people in your custody in order to show

the world that you have truly repented”.

Speaking, InspectorGeneral of Police, Mohammed Adamu, said that nobody is allowed to attack or kill anybody in the name of vigilante or volunteer group.

He also said that anybody caught killing innocent people would be pursued by the police and prosecuted.

Adamu said that any herdsman that indulged in kidnapping or other acts would equally be arrested by the police and made to face the full wrath of the law.

The communiqué added that secretaries to the state governments attending the meeting would remain and continue discussion with security agents and herdsmen on modalities to go about measures to be adopted.

Presidential poll: Buhari, APC close defence at tribunal

Tribunal adjourns to Aug 21 for adoption of final addresses

Andrew Orolua, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday abruptly closed their defences at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

Buhari, the second respondent in the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), himself and the All Progressives Congress (APC) had before now called seven witnesses.

The President and the APC has three more days to present their defence, but at the resumed hearing on Thursday, lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), closed the second respondent’s defence.

He stated thus: “This matter has been adjourned for the continuation of defence today. We have studied the evidence, both hardware and software, presented by the petitioners as well as the evidence brought before the court. As senior counsel, we have come to the decision to restrict the legal duel.

“Thus, we are satisfied with the evidence we had led and we are closing our case.”

Responding, counsel for the APC, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), said he respects Chief Olanikpekun for the courage to close the case, saying that “in the normal course of things and events, these are times for the third respondent (APC) to open its case.

“But, my lord, I have ruminated whether to talk now or relax. I am more eternally grateful to the petitioners. Having reviewed our standing order, there is no point indulging in any exercise.

In the circumstance, we thank you for the handling so far and we the third respondent holds that we are satisfied with the defence in line with the evidence brought forth by the second respondent.

“I as the leader of this team align with the closure of the defence of the third respondent,” Fagbemi stated.

He said that there are some documents that are genuine in preparation of our written address.

He therefore, craved the panel’s indulgence to start their defence on Monday.

The time for filing all addresses should commence also on Monday, he requested.

Lead counsel for

Atiku and PDP, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN), in his response, stated that they predicted that it is the same thing which INEC did by closing its case (without calling a witness) that was expected of Buhari’s legal team.

He said he was not objecting to the start of filing addresses by Monday which in all would be seven days, adding however, that “but, my lords we are asking for seven days also because we are responding to three respondents.”

In his ruling, Justice Mohammed Garba held that their “request for the time for respondents to file their various addresses is hereby granted. The respondents must file their addresses from Monday within three days.

“The petitioners shall also file their addresses within seven days after receipt of service from the respondents.”

Justice Garba ordered the counsels to ensure that they file their final addresses before August 21.

The panel consequently, adjourned proceeding to August 21 for the adoption of the final addresses.

Shiites: We’ll continue with protest until El-Zakzaky is freed – Daughter Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

A day after the spokesman of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Ibrahim Musa, purportedly announced the suspension protests by the movement, popularly known as the Shiites, daughter of the movement’s leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, Suhaila Zakzaky, on Thursday, insisted that the group will continue its protests till her father is released.

She dismissed the statement issued by the spokesman of IMN, Ibrahim Musa, announcing a cessation of the protests embarked upon by members of the group following the proscription and declaration of the movement as a terrorist organisation by the Federal Government.

Our correspondent recalls that government’s decision to ban the movement came in the aftermath of the bloody clash between the security agencies and the Shiites protesters in the Federal Capital Territory on July 22, which led

to the death of a deputy police commissioner and a journalist.

However, reacting to the statement on her social media page, Suhaila confirmed that the street protests will continue unabated until her father regains his freedom.

Suhaila further said that Ibrahim Musa has no authority whatsoever, to suspend the protests as he is not among the organisers of the protests and that the movement has not appointed anyone to speak on its behalf.

She said: “Even as I speak right now; earlier today, there was a protest in Abuja and there will be tomorrow, and there will continue to be on every week day. I just wanted to clarify because I saw news agencies stating that the spokesperson of this movement released the statement.

“First of all, the Islamic movement has no such thing as a spokesman. And the person who wrote this article (is) the chairman of the media forum; the media forum, just like the

El-Zakzaky

numerous forums we have in the Islamic movement is just a forum that is there for people within that field to have their own space and activities within the Islamic movement.

“This person has nothing to do with the people organising these protests that have been going on in Abuja and will continue to go

on till El-Zakzaky is freed.”

The IMN members have been protesting the continued detention of El-Zakzaky who was arrested after the group clashed with a convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, in Kaduna state in 2015.

The Daily Times recalls that

DHQ dismisses report on secret graveyards in N’East The Defence Headquarters says there are no secret graveyards in the North East Theatre of Operation as being insinuated in some quarters.

A statement by Director of Defence Information, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, on Thursday in Abuja, said that such insinuation can only emanate from an uninformed position.

Col. Nwachukwu said that the armed forces have a rich and solemn tradition for the interment of their fallen heroes.

“Therefore, it must be unambiguously clarified that the armed forces do not indulge in secret burials, as it is sacrilegious and a profanity to extant ethos and traditions of the Nigerian military.

“In tandem with the traditions of the armed forces, fallen heroes are duly honoured and paid the last respect in befitting military funeral of international standard.

“It features funeral parade, grave site oration, solemn prayers for the repose of departed souls by Islamic

and Christian clerics, as well as gun salutes, aside other military funeral rites,” he said.

He explained that the cemetery described in the publication, situated in Maimalari Military Cantonment is an officially designated military cemetery for the armed forces in the North East theatre with a cenotaph erected in honour of the fallen heroes.

According to him, the official cemetery has played host to several national and international dignitaries, where wreaths are laid in honour of

the fallen heroes.

“It is therefore, a far cry from the sacrilegious impression being painted by the Wall Street Journal.

The Defence Headquarters therefore urges members of the Armed Forces and the public to disregard such a misinformed publication,” the spokesman stated.

He urged Nigerians “to see it as a figment of the imagination of the writer, whose knowledge of military valued ethos and traditions is grossly misplaced.”

Obaseki’s second term is Oshiomhole’s target, not Assembly – Edo Speaker Patrick Okohue

Embattled Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Frank Okiye, has said that the current crisis rocking the state legislature was a smokescreen by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to eventually deny the state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, a second term.

The Speaker, who said this while fielding questions from newsmen on the crisis rocking the state legislature, added that the planned takeover of the state Assembly by the Senate is capable of destabilising not just the Assembly but the entire state, noting that the Red Chamber should act as agents of peace and not merchants of crisis.

He said: “The truth is that the Edo State Assembly and my office as the Speaker are not the real targets of this crisis. The plot

is actually aimed at Governor Obaseki and the endpoint is to stop him from getting a return ticket as governor next year.

“Comrade Oshiomhole is actually after Obaseki, the state Assembly was only a smokescreen to his plans. The idea now is to take over the House, destabilise the state and possibly impeach the governor.

The Edo Peoples Movement that originated this crisis has boasted that they will ensure that the governor does not come back for the second tenure.”

Noting that the threat of takeover from the National Assembly was part of the grand plot of Oshiomhole, who was the immediate past governor of the state, Okiye said: “I have said it before on several occasions that we know who is beating the drum for them in the National Assembly.

They have found themselves in the position of stooge to make it look like they cannot think outside the box, it’s unfortunate.”

Urging his aggrieved colleagues to come over to the Assembly and regularise their documents as lawmakers-elect, the Assembly Speaker said plenary activities is in full swing as lawmakers are considering bills, screening commissioners and aides and other legislative activities.

“We have been sitting as a parliament. I just drove out of the office after the plenary session.

Lawmakers are going about their committee work. We just invited Commissioner for Works to appear before the House over a matter of public importance.

“The door is open for the remaining lawmakers-elect, they should come to the Assembly, complete and regularise their documentation and they will be sworn in.

“The constitution says when the House is unable to sit, that means when it cannot perform the function it was supposed to perform. And this notification was supposed to be given or

declared by the governor who will say that there is no one to clear my commissioners, oversee my legislative requests and so on.

That was what the constitution contemplated, not the National Assembly sitting over a state Assembly as if we are a colony under them”.

Speaking on the next line of action, he said: “We are in court; we have sued them and got two separate injunctions and we are going to cite all the cases in court on the pages of newspapers. The other twelve members-elect have also sued and challenged the legitimacy of my speakership.

“So, which means all the parties in this issue have cases in court already. We have a restraining order against the National Assembly, against the security agencies, against the party and their agents. So, why is the National Assembly trying to usurp the function of the court?” he asked.

Justice Nkeonye Maha had designated the activities of the IMN in any part of Nigeria “as acts of terrorism and an illegality.”

Also, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, re-affirmed IMN’s proscription, saying the group will henceforth, be treated as terrorists.

Musa in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday had stated that the group will forthwith suspend their regular street protests calling for the release of their detained leader after the Federal Government banned the group’s activities.

The group’s Media Forum President, Ibrahim Musa, said that the movement suspended the protests in good faith and out of respect for eminent Nigerians and groups, whose inputs in the resolution of the problem appear genuine.

While expressing hope that the matter surrounding the detention of El-Zakzaky would be resolved amicably, he further disclosed that the suspension of the street protests was to “allow for some new openings into the resolution of the problem, especially the court case instituted by our lawyers on the proscription order made by the federal government this week.

“It has taken this step in good faith out of respect for some eminent people and groups, whose input in the resolution of the problems appears genuine and we sincerely hope an amicable way could be found to solve the crises surrounding the illegal detention of our leader for almost four years now.

“If at all any protests occur anywhere in the country, it might be this notice hasn’t reached those in the field or this message is misunderstood or it is some security agents who are mischievously behind it as they have been doing in an attempt to smear our image and be seen as unruly people rather than as victims of savage oppression since 2015.

“The Islamic Movement wishes to thank both national and international civil rights activists and organisations who have been busy demanding the protection of our fundamental human rights as enshrined in the constitution.

“We also thank the press, both national and international, and the social media activists for the full coverage of our activities throughout the struggle for justice.”

“We are committed to exploring the new openings we have seen in resolving this protracted issue. We, therefore, reiterate our demand that our leader, his wife, and several others in detention be given their freedom denied to them since 2015,” he stated on Wednesday.

Journalist slams Kogi deputy gov alleges assassination plot, disowns Bello implementation of FOI law Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Elder Simon Achuba, has raised the alarm over alleged mobilisation of gunmen by Governor Yahaya Bello to eliminate him, appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari and Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to come to his rescue.

The deputy governor cried out over the deteriorating relationship between him and Governor Bello while addressing newsmen in his residence in Lokoja, the state capital, on Thursday.

He told journalists that information at his disposal revealed that Gov. Bello has mobilised gunmen to attack him over his perceived lingering feud with him, alleging that “Bello should be held responsible if anything happens to my life.

“I’m appealing to President Buhari and the inspectorgeneral of police to beam their searchlight on Kogi State as a result of Gov. Bello’s alleged gunmen activities in the state.”

He further stressed the need

for the state government to be responsive to the yearnings and aspirations of the people, rather than the systematic killing of the people through unpopular policies.

On the position of the Kogi State government that he has been paid all his entitlements to date, Achuba debunked the claim, describing it as false and threatened to seek redress in court, so as to get his two years unpaid salaries and allowances settled without further delay.

“As a deputy governor, I have staff whose salaries come under my office, including mine and other allowances and impress to run the office which since 2017, the governor refused to pay. The issue of salaries is critical and not about me as labourers deserves their wages,” Achuba affirmed.

He further maintained that “my monthly salary for instance as a deputy governor is N385, 000,” wondering “how can I run my office with this kind of pay without impress in the last two years?”

He explained that his continued rift with his boss

Patrick Okohue, Lagos

Simon has nothing to do with nonperformance on his part as been alleged, but because of his disenchantment on the bad governance in the state, which has inflicted endless untold hardships on the people of the state.

However, Achuba

appreciated his boss for making him his deputy which eventually, gave him the opportunity to contribute his quota towards the development of the state, notwithstanding the psychological trauma he has passed through in the last two years.

AfCFTA will address intra-African trade bottlenecks - ATI

Chief Executive of the African Trade Invest (ATI), Mrs. Uju Uzo-Ojinnaka, says the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) will increase the level of trade in the African continent.

Uzo-Ojinnaka said this during ATI investors meet and official launch on Thursday in Lagos.

ATI is a pan- African trade and investment company that has created a double pronged business model for funding and investing in African trade.

Its mission is to create a safe and reliable environment for making investors and genuine African businesses successful, while creating wealth for all stakeholders by facilitating African trade.

Uzo-Ojinnaka said that Nigeria’s signing into the

AfCFTA agreement was a welcome development, pointing out that African countries incur enormous losses due to difficulties in intra-African trade.

“If it goes well, it is good not just for Nigeria, but for the whole African continent.

“The ECOWAS single currency has been signed for a long time, but to do trade between Nigeria and Ghana is extremely difficult and we believe this agreement would address the situation,” she said.

Speaking on ATI business model, Uzo-Ojinnaka said that suppliers of various African products who had confirmed orders for their products backed by an acceptable payment terms could access funds for the execution of their orders.

“Through our strategic partners, we verify, supervise and upload updates on each project to ensure strict compliance and timely execution. Most importantly, investors receive weekly updates and can view project progress via their personal dashboard,” she said.

She said that ATI funded transactions of over $1million and paid out returns in excess of $860, 000 in the last quarter.

A board member of ATI, Tobe Nnadozie, said ATI would help Nigeria to achieve its dream of earning the much needed foreign exchange for the economy.

He urged Nigerians to support the ATI initiative, stressing that if more people came on board of the platform, Nigeria would raise more funds

to take care of its national needs.

“We will save the country from wastage. The wastage that happens in many farms is very massive and there are lots of cooperatives who do not have buyers for their produce.

“So, if we have countries where we can shift all these things, we will make good money and the economy will benefit from it,” he said.

Nnadozie stressed the need for the government to shift away from hydrocarbon resources, stating that other climes had gone beyond relying on crude oil for foreign exchange.

“We need to replace oil as fast as we can and it should not be talk like many other countries are doing in Africa, but an action to solve that problem,” he advised.

210 graduates bag NDDC foreign scholarship Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has given out award letters to 210 graduates from the Niger Delta region for its 2019 post-graduate foreign scholarship programme.

The NDDC acting Managing Director, Prof.

Nelson Brambaifa, who addressed the scholarship beneficiaries, during a pre-departure briefing and orientation at the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt, urged them to take the opportunity with both hands and fulfil the investment of hope that the commission puts on them.

Prof. Brambaifa, who was represented by the NDDC Director for Education, Health and Social Services, Gochua Okejoto, said that

the programme presents the scholars a new vista of opportunities to deepen their knowledge and equip them with skills to conquer the world.

“You are the new generation of well-trained professionals who will help take the Niger Delta to the next level. You are the future of the Niger Delta, the people whose professional competences and exposure will fill the gaps in the oil and gas industry, as well as in infrastructure development, information technology, agriculture and aquaculture in order to facilitate sustainable livelihoods which is key to creating wealth and abolishing regional poverty,” he stated.

The NDDC chief executive stressed that beyond the physical and technical infrastructures provided by the commission to improve the living conditions

of the people, “we must develop the human capital infrastructure that ensures that we offer sustainable livelihoods to Niger Deltans and equip them to creatively, effectively and proactively employ all we offer to make the Niger Delta the sum of our shared dreams.”

Prof. Brambaifa said that since the scheme started in 2010, the objectives have been to bridge the gap in the management cadre of the oil and gas sector of the Niger Delta region, address the dearth of professional human capital and capacity among the youth.

Other objectives include preparing the beneficiaries for leadership and management positions in the oil and gas sector, produce professionally enhanced and skilled postgraduate beneficiaries who can match international standards

and take over the leadership of the oil and gas sector in the nearest future.

He stated that “we have so far produced 1, 634 competent and better qualified youth who are bringing their new learning to bear in different sectors of the Niger Delta economy. And there are many heart-warming stories, outlining the excellent Niger Delta spirit, which have emerged and continue to emerge from this very important intervention.

“For instance, five of our master’s degree students graduated with distinction from Coventry University, England and one from Aberdeen University. Ubong Peters, a Ph.D student, won the three minute thesis competition in Australia, while Augustine Osarogiagbon of Memorial University completed his Ph.D in less than the stipulated time.

The Freedom of Information Law came under strict scrutiny on Thursday as the editor of The Nation newspaper, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, said the law has not achieved the purpose which it was set achieved when passed as those assigned the responsibility of implementing it has frustrated its implementation.

Omotosho, who is a Commissioner-nominee of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in Lagos State, was speaking when he appeared before the House of Assembly of Assembly ad hoc committee for the screening of the nominees at the Lateef Jakande Auditorium on Thursday.

According to him, the Freedom of Information law in the country is not working, “the implementation is not working”.

He said when you write asking for information there is always no response from the authorities concerned and “if you go to the code of conduct for assets declaration information of government officials they will not give you.”

Adding that even if you want to explore the court option by going to court to press for access to the required information, that is a long process.

Talking about managing perception of Lagos, Omotoso said it is the duty of everybody, although he said it can be done through training of information officers, mobilising the members of the public and dissemination of government actions and policies to all the nook and crannies of the state.

Omotoso said more importantly was for everybody to put up a proper behaviour especially people in position of authority for others to emulate.

“Perception can be managed through regular interactions with members of the public, letting people know what you are doing right, it is the responsibility of all of us to guard the image of the state,” Omotoso said.

He said though technology has a major role to play in dissemination of government policies and activities to the people and enhancing the peoples’ perception about the government, but the problem of lack of power especially in the rural areas limits its capacity.

“We can manage perception by constant engagement through technology and deploying same for the purpose, but the problem of power supply in the rural areas limits its capacity.”

He thus advocated marrying the traditional mode of information dissemination with modern system of passing information for more effective result.

Answering another question on coping with life outside his known comfort zone of managing a news medium, Omotoso said journalism like politics is all about service,

politics is a call to service, it is an honour and it will be a seamless movement for him.

The chairman of the committee, who is also the Chief Whip of the Assembly, Hon. Rotimi Abiru, commended Omotoso who was the eight and the last person to be screened on Thursday.

He said: “It has been a long process, you have been here since about 10.am and this is almost 5.00pm; I commend your patience, you are cool and calm despite the pressure,” Abiru said.

Also speaking while answering questions from members of the Lagos Assembly ad-hoc committee during his screening, another senior journalist and immediate past Secretary to Lagos State Government and commissioner-nominee, Mr. Tunji Bello, said the menace of refuse in the state was because the past administration abandoned a working refuse disposal system under LAWMA to introduce a system that could not cope with the volume of refuse generated in the state.

He said the LAWMA personnel have already been trained and with specialisation in different areas of refuse management before being taken out of the system which created a vacuum that the operatives of the newly introduced model could not cope with.

He said the solution to the situation may already be on the way with the introduction of sorting refuse at point of generation and separating same into different refuse bags as being introduced by the current governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Bello, who said he worked as the speech writer of the late Chief MKO Abiola as a journalist, lawyer and former commissioner for the environment in the state, advised that the state must intensify efforts on waste management and conversion.

“There are a few areas you can set up dumpsite in Lagos State because the state is below the sea level. You cannot set up a dump site in Lagos Island, except in places like Agege, Abule Egba and others.

“On flooding in Lagos, we have nine main drainages in the state, and while six are developed, three are not developed and flooding is always when there are blockages in the flow of flood to the Lagoon in these drainages.

“The Lagos Mainland drainage system is the oldest and it has about six divisions.

The tertiary drainages and channels must link up with primary channels,” he said.

This was corroborated by the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Rotimi Abiru, who stated that everybody was concerned about the environment in the state.

Abiru advised Bello to impress it on the government that the state could not afford not to improve on the environment.

FG lifts 5m Nigerians out of extreme Short News poverty in 3 years – Buhari EFCC arraigns naval officer, 4 Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari, says the federal government’s introduced National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) has in three years lifted no fewer than 5 million Nigerians out of extreme poverty..

Buhari said this at the opening of the Global Youth Employment Forum of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Abuja on Thursday.

He said that the forum was an opportunity for young persons to address the challenges of national economic stability.

Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, the President commended the ILO for committing itself to youth employment, stating that his administration has an in-depth understanding of the rapidly changing demographics and the emerging world of work.

“We note at this point that the issue of youth unemployment has assumed a global significance and on the front burner of development discourse. The government of Nigeria understands the need to focus attention on youth empowerment by creating the enabling environment for job opportunities and capacity building.

“The present administration from the onset made the investment in our people, one of the key goals of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, which is the

national development blueprint from the period of 2017 to 2020. The implementation of the plan also has the flagship programme such as the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP).

“It has yielded some measurable outcomes in the form of increased school enrolment and the creation of more jobs.

One of the key components of the NSIP is the N-Power programme and its subcomponents has led to the creation of job opportunities in different sectors of the economy for young persons.

“For example, in the past three years, the programme has yielded over 2 million direct and indirect employment opportunities and has lifted over 5 million Nigerians out of extreme poverty, “In addition to this achievement, some sectors of the economy with high propensity for massive job creation and employment generation were specifically target by the government for various forms of support,’’ the President disclosed He noted that the sectors include agriculture, solid minerals, power, works and housing, trade and investment, and also in the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The President said some programmes of the federal government were also targeted at the informal sectors, improving their capacity and boosting the domestic economy, such as the import restriction the executive order on ease of doing business.

ILO Director General, Guy Ryder called on governments and the social partners to foster pro-employment growth and decent

job creation through macroeconomic policies.

According to him, with right macroeconomic policies in place, it will promote youth employability, youth entrepreneurship and rights to tackle the social consequences of youth unemployment.

“There is the need to promote macroeconomic policies and fiscal incentives that support employment and stronger aggregate demand, improve access to finance and increase productive investment, taking account of different economic situations in countries.’’

NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, said the event was an opportunity to cross-fertilise ideas in addressing the global challenge of unemployment and under-employment.

He said that young persons have the potential to contribute positively to national development, stressing the hope that the forum would seek out solutions to the fundamental issues fuelling the challenge of work.

Earlier, Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Williams Alo, said the forum reminds all countries to do things differently, saying Nigeria cannot continue to do things differently and expect a positive change.

“After three years of rising unemployment rates, the ILO 2018 World Employment Social Outlook forecast a slight drop in global unemployment rate from 5.6 per cent in 2017 to 5.5 per cent in 2018.

others over alleged oil theft

The Economic Financial and Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday arraigned a female naval officer and four others over alleged oil theft.

The officer, Mrs. Bola Labinjo with service name as Lt.-Cdr S. A. Ibe Lambert, was charged before a Federal High Court in Lagos. She is standing trial alongside Jonathan Abuka, Ikemefuna Agaba, Benjamin Gold and Hamzat Yakubu.

The defendants and a vessel, MT Hadeline Jumbo are facing a twocount charge of conspiracy and unlawful dealing in petroleum product. The defendants however, pleaded not guilty before Justice Chuka Obiozor.

The EFCC alleged that the defendants, sometime in August 2018 at the Gulf of Guinea and off the Coast of Gabon, conspired to illegally deal in Nigeria’s automated gasoline oil.

The EFCC counsel, Stephen Odiase, told the court that the defendants were arrested on August 13, 2018, by the men of Nigeria Navy on the Gulf of Guinea along with the vessel loaded with the petroleum product without appropriate licence.

He told the court that the offences contravene Sections 3(6) and 1 (19) (a) and (b) the Miscellaneous Offence Act (Revised Edition), 2004. The counsel further noted that the offences were punishable under Sections 1(17) (b) of the same Act. Counsel to the first to fifth defendants urged the court to admit them to bail in liberal terms since they had been in detention since 2018.

However, the prosecution urged the court to deny the defendants bail on grounds that the alleged offences constituted economic sabotage which affected the country negatively.

In a ruling, Justice Obiozor said he was inclined to grant the defendants’ applications due to the averments in their applications, most especially since they have been in detention since August, 2018.

Consequently, the judge admitted them to bail in the sum of N10 million each with one surety in like sum.

The judge also ordered that the surety must produce three years’ tax clearance certificate, means of livelihood, bank statement of accounts, title of landed property and two passport photographs.

He said all the bail conditions were to be verified by the court’s deputy chief registrar.

However, counsel to the sixth defendant (vessel), P. Amara asked the court for adjournment to enable him to file his application, arguing that he had just been given the charge sheet.

The court adjourned the case until August 8 for hearing of the application.

Benue to compensate victims of Makurdi market fire

Officials of the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Plateau State Branch protesting in Jos on Thursday over the killing of some Nigerians in South Africa.

The Benue state government says it will compensate traders who lost valuables to the fire that gutted the Makurdi Modern Market in June.

Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Merga Kachina, who disclosed this on Thursday in Makurdi when the traders paid him a solidarity visit, said that arrangements for the exercise were in top gear.

He described the inferno as “unfortunate and saddening” and regretted the untold hardship on the victims, assuring that government was poised to transform the market into a modern trade centre so as to boost the Benue economy.

He announced that Governor Samuel Ortom has lifted the ban on the activities of trade unions in the market, saying that government would soon let the traders know when to hold elections. ”Appropriate supervision and guidelines will be put in place to ensure that the elections are not marred by irregularities. We shall also ensure that credible officials are elected to man the affairs of the unions in the market,” he added.

Kachina urged the traders to cooperate with the leadership of the ministry to make commercial activities at the market more conducive.

“The desire of the governor is to ensure that traders live in harmony with the staff of the ministry. We believe that this smooth atmosphere is crucial to smooth business activities,” he said.

Earlier, leader of the delegation, Chima Mege, had said that the team was in the commissioner’s office to identify with him over his reappointment and to pledge their support toward his success.

No rancour among over committees’ composition - Senate Kogi governorship aspirant apart from you (journalists) now drawing non- juicy committees. What I know is that Tunde Opalana, Abuja promises to check corruption my attention to it that there has been any there are 69 standing committees of the The Senate has refuted rumours of rancour among senators over the composition of the 69 standing committees of the Senate as announced on Tuesday by Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.

Chairman Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye told journalists on Thursday in Abuja, that the Senate was unaware of such purported insinuations over chairmanship and vice chairmanship of committees.

Sen. Adeyeye said such complaints were unknown to the Senate, declaring that “first and foremost, I have not received any call from any senator complaining about the committees to which they had been placed.

‘It has also not come to my notice as well,

senator who has expressed dissatisfaction with the committee to which he had been appointed to head. To that extent, I believe that everything is in the realm of rumours and I don’t attach much importance to rumours.

“However, I will let the public know the facts since you said that this matter is already circulating in the social media.

By the rules of the Senate and by the constitution, the President of the Senate has been conferred with the powers and authority to appoint people into various committees of the Senate.

“He has exercised that power on Tuesday to the best of his knowledge and perhaps in consideration of the different backgrounds of senators. You journalists talk about juicy and non- juicy committees.

I don’t know anything about juicy and

Senate that have been constituted.

“In any case, juicy or non-juicy, I believe that it is a call to duty for senators to serve their fatherland and to serve the nation meritoriously. So, in whatever capacity anybody has been placed, he has been called upon to merely render service.

“If you believe that the committee you have been placed will not give you enough responsibility to exert a lot of your energy as chairman, you belong to other committees which you can still make your contributions.

“I would plead with those who may have one complaint or the other to sheath their swords. They should see their chairmanship or membership of the various committees as a call to service.

They should let us continue to work in one accord, harmoniously.

A Kogi state governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Sani Lulu, says he plans to complement the federal government’s efforts at ensuring zero tolerance for corruption if elected as governor in the November 16 poll.

Lulu, a former president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said this at a news conference on Thursday, shortly after picking his expression of interest and nomination forms for N22.5 million at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.

“We are going to do our job to do our best to the residents of Kogi. We can use the Kogi example in checking corruption to support zero tolerance for corruption that the present administration is focusing on,” Lulu said.

The aspirant, who said that he made consultations with relevant stakeholders before picking his form, said that if given opportunity to serve the state, he would be transparent in giving his best to the state.

“There are elders, youth and women among us. All the three senatorial districts are fully represented. This gives me an impression that the people are behind me.

“I now know that people want me to come and give my best just like I have done in where I worked before as director of sports and president, Nigeria Football Federation,” he said.

Much Ado About “Bow and Go”

Ola Awoniyi

The screening of ministerial nominees by the Senate has come and gone but the dust it raised may take some time to settle. The announcement of ministerial nominations is always greeted with public excitement. And the case was not different this time round too, for obvious reasons. The President needs ministers to help him in running the affairs of the country. When the ministers are in place, it is generally believed the full complement of the Executive is formed for the business of governance to begin in earnest. This is why the nation was eager about the composition of the next Federal Executive Council. President Muhammadu Buhari eventually forwarded the names of his nominees to the Senate for screening and approval last week. The public anxiety continued until last week Tuesday when the list was unveiled at the Senate plenary by Senate President Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan.

The following day, the Senate began the screening after earlier deciding to postpone its recess for the exercise.

The prompt commencement of the legislative process by the Senate under the leadership of Senator Lawan is remarkable. It showed the senators were willing to defer their holiday for what they considered a national assignment.

And the way they went about it was a clear departure from the past wherein nominees were made to go through some undefined pre-screening rituals before being invited to the Red Chamber for formal screening.

Rather than applaud the Senate for that, a well-known parliamentary practice of giving recognition to former lawmakers, who by virtue of being in parliament before without abusing their integrity had fulfilled the condition for their appointment ab initio, started generating controversy. Eight nominees, out of the 43 on the list, took their turns on Day One. Uchechukwu Ogah, a nominee from Abia State, was the first to be invited into the chamber for screening. For almost one hour, the senators feasted on

him. Then former Benue State Governor George Akume, who previously was also Minority Leader of the Senate, took his turn. Standing on his feet looking at Akume in his white babariga as he mounted the podium, the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, cleared his throat and said: “I rose for only one purpose to ensure that tradition, that convention be respected in perpetuity so that no question here, other than ‘take a bow and go’ propagated by a few of our colleagues, be maintained.” The privilege was accorded Akume as a former twoterm senator.

Akume’s case is interesting. Between 2007 and 2015, he not only had his seat well marked, as others, in the Senate, he also took part in the screening of nominees of the President more than twice. “I rise to support that he should be asked to take a bow and go, given his length of service in this chamber,” said Distinguished Senator Omo-Agege. It was obvious the DSP spoke the minds of his other colleagues. The President of the Senate then came point-blank on the issue: “Let me also remind us that it is a tradition here to give this privilege, this concession to senators who served in this chamber or in the House of Representatives or indeed the State Houses of Assembly. This tradition must continue despite the fact that some people do not understand it and we need to educate them.” It is a tradition inherited from previous Senate, which evidently underscores the importance the lawmakers attach to the institution of the parliament such that if one has discharged himself or herself creditably there, he would do even better in other areas notably in the executive branch.

Not knowing the import of that parliamentary practice and one of prerequisites for ministerial nomination, which equates it with the condition for qualification for membership of the House of Representatives, some Nigerians, among them commentators and columnists, queried the essence

of the screening if all that a nominee would do at the Senate is to bow and take his leave. I admit that asking these former lawmakers some questions may refresh the memories of their new colleagues and indeed Nigerians about the character and competence they had earlier demonstrated in parliament. It may also be a needless exercise because the former lawmakers had abinitio met the condition for their nominations.

Ita Enang, Special Adviser on Senate Matters to President Buhari, who was formerly in the House of Representatives and Senate and indeed in charge of Rules and Business, first in the House and later in the Senate for several years, put this issue succinctly. According to him, the practice of “take a bow and go” is not new and not peculiar to the Nigerian Senate. “It is a tradition that started in the United Kingdom and the United States parliament and has become a parliamentary tradition everywhere.”

Enang knows his onions and knows well the rules guiding confirmation hearings.

If that practice deserves a review as some honestly canvass, I think the Senate will not hesitate do so accordingly. The point, however, is some of those who criticised the practice and erroneously called the upper chamber and its leadership all kinds of names would wish to be at the receiving end of that privilege if previously in parliament and now appeared on the ministerial list.

But before we go for tinkering with that established practice, it is important to know the intention of the law in assigning the all-important confirmation of ministers and other key appointments of the president to the Senate. In carrying out that task, the Nigerian Constitution asks the Senate to ensure the president complies with certain provisions. For ministerial nomination, Chapter 6 Part 1 Section 147 is very apposite here.

Subsection (2) of this section states: “Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to

such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President. Subsection (3): Any appointment under subsection (2) of this section by the President shall be in conformity with the provisions of Section 14 (3) of the Constitution;provided that in giving effect to the provisions aforesaid the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each State, who shall be an indigene of such State. Subsection (5): No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified for election as a member of the House of Representatives.”

I consider the scrupulous application of these criteria as the real purpose of the confirmation screening. The same critics of the just-concluded process would have accused the Senate of over-reaching itself if it had done more than prescribed by the law. It would have been more helpful though if the President had provided the Senate the portfolios of the would-be ministers in which case the Senate would assess their competence and appropriateness against the portfolios assigned them.

Again, ministerial nomination is the prerogative of the President and the Constitution does not mandate him to assign portfolio to nominees forwarded to the Senate. As such no one can blame President Buhari.

This is where those who equate Senate screening to a job interview miss the point. For a job interview, the candidate knows what to prepare for and the interviewers the questions relevant to specific jobs. In this case, neither the nominees nor the Senators know the portfolios the president intends for the nominees. Unless they speculate based on the educational or professional experience of a nominee, all the senators can do with those they did not know or those that had not passed through their institution previously is ask general questions that may give little insight about them and how they may perform as ministers.

Buhari’s new cabinet: Matters arising

Carl Umegboro

President Muhammadu Buhari recently unveiled the identities of his new cabinet without delays as witnessed in his previous tenure. As usual, the action met mixed reactions.

Whilst a fraction gave commendation particularly for its right timing, others carped claiming the list neither met their expectations nor reflected optimism chiefly for retaining most members of his earlier cabinet with only few fresh names from his party.

Incidentally, appointment of ministers is an exclusive duty of the President albeit subject to confirmation by the Senate as provided in Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended – “Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President”.

However, the President can only have a productive administration with a proficient team that shares his vision. Thus, competence cannot be overemphasized. Nonetheless, competence is not one and only factor as unity of purpose is requisite.

But by the way, why does a President need ministers and what qualities must be found in a nominee for the position? A nominee for ministerial appointment must beyond other qualities have managerial capacity to spearhead and coordinate an organization effectively. Possibly, this formed the basis for opting for scores of former governors with good scorecards.

Invariably, coordination

and supervision of a ministry including all agencies, parastatals and statutory bodies under it for efficient operations of the President are the essential tasks of ministers.

However, these tasks are no child plays. In other words, a minister is essentially, the President’s eyes; overseer in a ministry who ensures that all policies of the government are carried out efficiently. A minister is therefore President’s reliable representative that coordinates, supervises all activities in a ministry and reports directly to the President.

Apart from managerial skill and competence, trust is indispensable. If not, partisanship could frustrate the administration.

Perceptively, the drafters of the Constitution understood that a President may not flow effectively with some ministries vis-à-vis policies of the government if left under the watch of Permanent Secretaries who may pitch their tents in another political party. Yes, civil servants are lawfully free to identify with any political party of their choice as provided in Section 40 CFRN; ruling party or oppositions, as a fundamental right provided it doesn’t interfere with official duties.

Section 40 provides, “Every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party, trade union or any other association for the protection of his interests:” So, imagine a Permanent Secretary that belongs to an opposition party heading a ministry; certainly, it will

be catastrophic in service delivery as partisanship might play out. Thus, office of the minister aptly exists to remedy such scenario.

On appraisal, there is no cause for alarm. Nominees’ scorecards convincingly show capacity.

Probably, some had expected a number of names from some global institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) etc. Admitted, such prospects are not bad ideas. However, the progresses made by Buhari’s previous administration deserved acknowledgements, and reengaging most of the teamwork demonstrates the government is principally concerned in service delivery against ‘turn-by-turn sharing of national cakes’ that used to be the pattern in the past. And significantly, most of the new ministers are evidently, sufficiently proficient in their respective careers.

Without prejudice, the retained ministers avidly put in their best in the previous administration. Thus, Buhari’s decision acutely reflects astuteness.

On attainment, no one needs to be reminded that by this time during Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, sadly when public schools were facing continuous strikes, Obasanjo and his vice, Atiku Abubakar were doing competition on who builds the biggest private universities. Yet, every now and then, lengthy open letters are released to disparage the government on how insecurity and other vices thrive in the polity. How wouldn’t the society

face such crisis when education wasn’t given its deserved priority by previous governments?

Again, it is noteworthy that since Buhari came on board in 2015, not even one politician including from his ruling party or cabinet has been awarded a national honour as recklessly, lavishly done annually in the past. All these critically attest to a paradigm shift; seriousness and focus of the government to restructure the country for common good and not for frivolities. Even the usual periodic purposeless reshuffle of cabinet merely for compensating politicians is so far a history.

Thus, a benefit of the doubts is judiciously vital. Let criticisms be clothed with value and sense of responsibility. Opposition must not be overstretched to acrimony.

Otherwise, even where criticisms are germane, the points may not scale through. Politics therefore should remain intellectual pursuits for power as in other climes.

Optimistically, by willpower, teamwork and continuous conscientious actions, next level is feasible. At this juncture, interest must shift to means of engaging over 100,000 fresh graduates that yearly join the existing high percentage of job-seekers in the labour market against few employment opportunities but end up roaming the streets. Possibly, curriculums may be reviewed to take into account skill acquisitions and self-development as remedies. This critically demands brainstorm as panacea to rising security challenges.

The Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Adeyinka Aderibigbe, announced the date for the judgment on Thursday in Umuahia.

This followed the adoption of the final written addresses by the parties involved in the matter.

The panel however, deferred the final written addresses in the matter between Nkechi Nworgu of APC and Sen. Theodore Orji of PDP in the Abia Central Senatorial election to Aug. 7.

This was to enable the panel and parties in the matter get the ruling on the interlocutory application pending before the Court of Appeal, sitting in Owerri, Imo. Meanwhile, 11 witnesses on Thursday testified for Gov. Okezie

Ikpeazu of Abia at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, in continuation of the defence of his re-election.

Dr Alex Otti, the petitioner and candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the March 9 election, is challenging Ikpeazu’s reelection.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Otti is seeking the cancellation of the election on allegations of massive irregularities.

One of Ikpeazu’s witnesses, Eze Ogbonnaya, said that he acted as a collation agent at Ibeku West Ward, in Umuahia North Local Government Area.

He told the Justice Lekan Ogumoyeled tribunal that the election in his area was free and fair, and was in compliance with the electoral guidelines.

Under cross examination by Mr Abiodun Owonikoko (SAN), counsel to the petitioner, Ogbonnaya pointed to a mistake on his deposition, claiming that he did not mention Ibeku West in any part of his statement.

The matter was adjourned till Friday (Aug. 3) for further hearing.

Dutse residents protest poor service delivery by KEDCO Residents of Takur site in Dutse metropolis of Jigawa, on Thursday thronged the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) office in their area to protest incessant power outages and excess billing.

Malam Yusuf Dasanin-Allah, who led the protest to KEDCO Area Office in Dutse on Thursday, lamented that they were being over-charged in the billing of power consumed, just as they experienced frequent outages.

Dasanin-Allah, who spoke on behalf of the protesters, alleged that the company charged each house between N8, 000 and N10, 000 monthly, with or without commensurate power supply.

“We are always surprised at the end of each month when the company gives us huge bill to settle, ” he said According to him, whenever customers complain and demand for explanation, KEDCO officials will threaten them with disconnection.

“The protesters who staged the demonstration about two kilometres from their ward to KEDCO office in Kiyawa road in Dutse city are appealing to the relevant authorities to intervene on the issue,” he said.

Contacted for his comments on the issue, Mr Saidu Sambo, KEDCO Area Manager in Dutse, said he would not speak to the press.

Our POSITION

Stemming the upsurge in sickle cell anaemia The revelation by the Coalition of Sickle Cell Non-governmental Organisations in Nigeria recently that at least 150,000 children are born with sickle cell disease in Nigeria every year, while about 40 million Nigerians are healthy carriers of the sickle cell gene, has heightened the need for all hands to be on deck to checkmate the disease.

The condition can cause extreme pain, life-threatening infections and other complications such as stroke or loss of vision. The disease can interfere with many aspects of the patient’s life, including education, employment and psychosocial development. Despite the disastrous consequences, they do not receive adequate attention.

In particular, the sources of funding for the fight against these diseases and the technical partners involved are insufficient.

The burden of blood-related diseases could be considerably reduced if costeffective preventive and curative measures and interventions are implemented in a balanced and coordinated manner.

In 2008, Ministers of Health from the WHO African region adopted a regional strategy to combat sickle cell disease and in some countries where sickle cell disease is a major public health concern, control programmes do exist. However, these have neither the national coverage nor basic facilities to manage patients.

Systematic screening for SCD using a simple blood test is not a common practice, and diagnosis is usually made when a severe complication occurs.

Counselling and prevention of causes and infections are simple measures not readily accessible to most patients. As a result, the majority of children with the most severe form of the disease die before the age of five, usually from an infection or severe anaemia.

We are of the opinion that there is an urgent need to tackle the disease. We must continue to make an effort so that together with our brothers and sisters from other continents, we can win the noble fight against blood diseases in Nigeria and Africa.

Our States alone, without the precious support of partners, will not be able to cope with information, communication, education, screening, case management and also basic research in this field.

SCA is a significant and underrecognised global health problem, and with new SDG efforts focused on ending preventable deaths of newborns and children under the age of 5 it is essential to specifically include SCA in that effort. With increased availability of POC diagnostics and inexpensive and highly effective treatments, such as hydroxyurea, simple efforts can result in millions of lives saved.

Pediatricians have the unique opportunity to be leaders in improving the health of children not only in our local practices, but also across the world. Increasing the visibility and advocacy for less commonly recognised childhood health conditions, such as SCA, can lead to important changes and provides an opportunity to save millions of lives.

Niger APC disowns ministerdesignate, threatens defection Saka Bolaji, Minna

The Niger state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has disowned the state minister- designate, Ambassador Zubairu Dada, calling on the Presidency to withdraw his nomination or the party faces massive defection from its fold ahead of the local government election in the state.

This threat was contained in the resolution of the expanded APC state working committee meeting held at the party secretariat and made available to journalists yesterday.

In the resolution signed by the state Publicity Secretary, Idris Abini, the party expressed disappointment at the action of Governor Abubakar Sani -Bello for failing to consult the party and acted alone by nominating a non- party member for ministerial appointment.

The state APC said Amb. Zubairu Dada belongs to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP0 and campaigned against the APC and its candidates in the last general elections.

It also observed with dismay that the minister- designate and Senator Mohammed Sani Musa are from the same Paikoro Local Government, ward and polling unit thereby, contravening the party’s constitution.

Consequently, expanded meeting attended by all the 25 local government party chairmen and secretaries, called for the minister-designate to be replaced with

an APC member who worked to ensure the party’s victory at the last elections.

“That urgent steps should be taken by President Muhammadu Buhari, who is known for his sense of honesty, integrity and desire for justice, to quickly remedy the situation and follow the earlier nomination of the party to forestall the threat of mass decamping from the APC in Niger state.

“Since the same scenario played out in 2015 and was reversed, it is also fair that this should be reversed in the spirit of justice and equity. That urgent step is taken to

forestall the adverse effects on the party in subsequent elections in the state, especially now that the local government elections are around the corner as loyal and committed party members may feel unappreciated and work against the party,” it advised.

The state chapter of the APC in the resolution further accused Gov. Sani- Bello of not treating party members fairly by appointing opposition PDP members into various positions even when he knew the same people challenged his election and that of the President.

Zulum urges community to shun collaboration with insurgents Governor Babagana Zulum on Thursday called on Jakana community in Konduga Local Government Area of the state to shun collaboration with Boko Haram insurgents.

Gov. Zulum also called on the villagers not to flee their homes for fear of the insurgents’ attacks, assuring that the military was on top of the situation.

Jakana community is about 40 kilometers from Maiduguri on the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.

The governor made the call when he paid a visit to commiserate with members of the community over fresh attacks by the insurgents in the area on Tuesday.

“I appeal to parents in Jakana community to prevail on your children, who are involved in the process to desist from collaborating with the insurgents, if any.

“The state government and the military will provide avenues under the ‘Operation

Safe Corridor’ for the insurgents willing to surrender for de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration into the society,” he said.

The governor disclosed that the state government is considering options to re-establish a police outpost in the area, to enhance security, protect lives and property.

While commending the federal government, armed forces and police over the successes recorded in the counter- insurgency operations, Zulum called for deployment of security apparatus to fast track peace building process in the conflict prone areas of the state.

He added that: “We must commend and appreciate the federal government, the military and police in maintaining law and order in Borno state. The situation between now and 2015 cannot be compared; the demarcation line is very distinct, there is improvement over the years, we must commend the efforts of the federal government and the military.

Short News No going back on anti-corruption fight, FG declares The federal government has renewed its commitment towards the fight against corruption, saying there is no going back on the war against corruption in the country.

Executive Secretary, Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, Prof. Sadiq Isah-Radda, said this at a one-day forum on anti-corruption held in Kano on Thursday.

“As far as the federal government is concerned, there is no going back on the fight against corruption,’’ he declared, asserting that even though the Buhari administration is facing some challenges, but that would not discourage it from tackling the menace.

“Even though there are challenges or problems, but we will continue with the fight because nobody will come from heaven to do it for us.The most disturbing issue is illicit financial flows where billions and billions are being taken out of the country by crooks.

“Corruption has been as old as the country so much so that it is becoming a way of life. Before now, those who refused to loot were seen as fools. When things become worst, the fight against corruption became a campaign issue in 2015,’’ Isah-Radda said.

He therefore, called on Nigerians, irrespective of their political and religious inclinations to support President Buhari to enable him eliminate corruption in the country for the betterment of the country.

The presidential aide said Nigerians have a duty to contribute their quota toward the development of the country, adding that the federal government cannot do it alone.

Also, he urged state governors to support the federal government in its determination to curb corruption in the country, stressing that there is no way the country can progress if it doesn’t tackle corruption.

He assured that the federal government would continue to support similar efforts of the Human Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), the organisers of the forum in order to achieve the desired objective, revealing that the presidential committee has done a lot and urged all stakeholders to support the crusade for a better Nigeria.

Police arrest 4 suspects with Short News should focus on skills 10, 000 live cartridges in Oyo Graduates acquisition, legislator advises The Oyo state Police Command on Thursday said that it had arrested four suspects, who specialised in supplying arms and ammunition to different armed robbery syndicates terrorising the people of the state.

Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, disclosed this while presenting the suspects to newsmen at the Command Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan. Olukolu said the suspects were arrested in their hideout with 10, 000 live cartridges on July 23 at 2.00 am at Oke-Bola area of Ibadan.

He noted that the Special AntiRobbery Squad (SARS) of the command received information about the activities of the syndicates and swung into action, leading to the arrest of the suspects.

According to him, the suspects

concealed the cartridges in an unregistered Toyota Sienna bus and a Toyota Camry car with registration number Lagos GGE 979 FT. One of the suspects told newsmen that he had no licence to sell the cartridges, adding that he was only being patronised by hunters.

Also, the police presented two female armourers to a gang of armed robbers, having been caught with a locally-made double-barrel pistol.

Olukolu said that police investigations indicated that the two females were members of a notorious armed robbery gang, whose duty was to conceal and convey arms and ammunition to any location of their male syndicate’s members.

According to him, the suspects were arrested in their hideout in

Iseyin on July 20 at 7.00 pm, adding that “the suspects, upon interrogation confessed that they were given the pistol by their syndicate kingpin and his cohorts to conceal from Lagos state to evade police arrest on their way to Iseyin, where an operation will be carried out.

“Efforts to arrest the kingpin and his cohorts, who are at large, are being intensified,” Olukolu said.

The police chief called on members of the public to be cautious of their environment, especially during the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebration as all sorts of crimes would be perpetrated during the period.

Olukolu noted that the police have put security measures in place to ensure that the public enjoy their festive period.

A Kano state House of Assembly member, Alhaji Salisu Ibrahim, has urged Nigerian graduates to shelve their dream of white-collar jobs and focus on learning skills and trades.

Ibrahim (APC-Doguwa/Tudun Wada), made the disclosure in an interview with journalists on Thursday in Zaria, Kaduna state.

The lawmaker spoke on the sideline of a public lecture organised by Doguwa Local Government Students’ Association (DOLSA) at Ahmadu Bello University, main campus, Samaru, Zaria.

He said: “Sincerely speaking, whoever tells you that there is job out there waiting for you is a lie. When I graduated from university, I had four jobs. I got four offers; I got a teaching appointment with the ministry of education, I got lecturing at college of education, I got personnel status at Public Complaints Commission then I got an offer from Triumph Publishing Company, Kano.

“I decided to drop all the jobs and go to the media. I went there with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English as a proof reader, but I tried to mould myself and move into the mainstream reporting.

“In the reporting aspect, I choose to be a financial journalist, which I headed the desk and moved up to editorial board member before I was moved to commercial manager, then I was called to assist in setting up Daily Trust.”

The lawmaker observed that the dreams of graduates of getting white-collar jobs was not forthcoming, hence the need for them to devise other means of becoming self-employed.

“If you ask them now, they will tell you that I read mass communication, I read business administration, I read pharmacy, I read this or that; I am categorically, saying that the young graduates can do a lot using their skills.

“It doesn’t mean that you must get a job in your field of study. Take for instance, Sam Nda Isaiah is a pharmacist, he read pharmacy from ABU, he had his small pharmacy shop in Kaduna, but he is into journalism and he owns a newspaper,” he added.

Ibrahim observed that no matter the high grades students obtain, it amounts to nothing if a graduate cannot make something with his hand, adding that such a situation would only drag the society backward.

On almajiri menace, the lawmaker said it was a very sensitive issue, especially in the North that needs the support and collaboration of all stakeholders to correct.

“The application brought by the EFCC is meritorious and granted; this court hereby orders the final forfeiture of the landed property known as Asmau Plaza, Tanke Road, Ilorin, Kwara state to the federal government,” the judge ruled.

In the affidavit deposed to by Musa Gidado an investigating officer with the EFCC, the anti-graft agency urged the judge to order the final forfeiture of the plaza which is suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activity.

Gidado said “investigations revealed that Rasaq Momonu used his influence as accountant with the Kwara state government to inflate and award contracts for the construction of two classrooms at Ogbondoroko and Obanisuwa Community in Kwara state.

“Investigations further revealed that the respondent who is a civil servant that earns less than N100, 000 in a month cannot afford to

build the house known as Asmau Plaza between 2010 -2012.

“I know as a fact, that the respondent was confronted with the above findings by the applicant, which he did not dispute and has agreed to forfeit the property known as Asmau Plaza to the federal government.”

Moving the application for final forfeiture on Thursday, counsel to the EFCC, Nnaemeka Omewa urged the court to grant the order based on the provisions of Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other fraud related offences Act, 2006.

Omewa said that “My lord, we have a motion on notice dated July 19, 2019 and filed on the same day.

The motion is brought pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other fraud related offences Act. I urged the court to grant the motion.”

Justice Oyinloye however, granted the application and resolved all the issues raised in favour of the EFCC and also said the order for final forfeiture should be published in two national newspapers.

A female staff of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Ramatu Luka, has been arrested at the Yola Airport for alleged stealing $600 belonging to a female pilgrim, Hafsat Mohammed.

The development was confirmed on Thursday in Yola by the spokesman of the Adamawa state Police Command, DSP Suleiman Yahaya.

Yahaya said that Ramatu, who was on duty during the screening of intending pilgrims, discovered pepper in the bag of Hafsat which she threatened to seize if she was not offered a bribe.

The police spokesman said the FAAN official was given 10 Saudi Riyal by the pilgrim to allow her go with the pepper.

“It was during the bribe negotiation that the lady took the $6000 from the woman’s bag she was searching.

“When the pilgrim later discovered her money was missing, she raised an alarm and the money was found in the possession of the FAAN staff member,” he added.

Yahaya explained that the FAAN staff member hid the money inside her hair and used her barrette cap to cover it.

He said that the case has been referred to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation after which the suspect would be charged to court.

Lagos partners NGOs, flags off free medical mission Benjamin Omoike, Lagos

The Lagos State Government says it will today embark on a free medical mission in partnership with Healthcare Mission International for the treatment of children as well as screening and advocacy for adults.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Titilayo Goncalves, at a news conference on Thursday in Alausa, said the treatments include dental care, orthopaedic treatment, visual/hearing impairments, surgeries and other common ailments.

Goncalves said the six-day exercise would take place in seven primary healthcare centres across the state, including Lagos Island, Surulere, Badagry, Alimosho, Epe, Ikeja and Ikorodu.

According to her, the exercise is part of the state government’s efforts to improve healthcare among residents and complement various programmes put in place to promote healthy living among them.

She said the exercise was primarily targeted at children within the age bracket of 0 to 12 years.

Also, the Permanent Secretary of the state Primary Health Board, Dr. Tayo Lawal, said about 1, 000 people would be attended to on a daily basis, while about 21, 000 people should have been attended to at the completion of the exercise.

Lawal said the project was equally an avenue to create medical awareness among residents, while thanking the Healthcare Mission International for the gesture.

Earlier, the Executive Director of Healthcare Mission International, Mrs. Nike Osa, said the initiative was necessitated by its belief to assist the less-privileged in area of medical challenges.

Osa said though children were the prime target of the programme, adults would be given health talks and screened for diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, adding that “those found to be positive will be managed using the established channel of treatment of these illnesses.”

Kano anti-graft agency treats 4,000 civil cases in 4 years

The Kano state Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission says it has treated more than 4, 000 civil cases in the last four years.

Chairman of the commission, Muhuyi Magaji, disclosed this at a one-day anticorruption forum in Kano.

The forum was organised by the Human Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) in collaboration with the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption and the National Orientation Agency (NOA).

Magaji said between 60 and 70 per cent of the cases handled by the commission bordered on land disputes, especially land usurpation, disclosing that “you know we have offices in all the 44 local government areas of the state, such cases came from the areas across the state.

“In the course of doing our work, we revoked the title of some lands in order to return them to their rightful owners, while we prosecute a serving commissioner, permanent secretary and directors over land scams.”

According to him, the commission has

also recovered money and property valued at billions of naira from individuals and corporate organisations.

“When we came to the commission, all the services were reduced to nothing, so we had to establish the necessary developments to enable the commission operate effectively,” Magaji said.

The anti-graft agency boss said that the commission had also recruited over 120 staff as part of renewed efforts to complement the existing 36 he inherited on assumption of office.

Reviewing the achievements recorded by the anti-graft agency in the last four years, Magaji however, noted that the agency had to grapple with dearth of skilled manpower at inception, political interference and inadequate funding.

He said that the fight against corruption should not be left to the federal government alone if the desired objective was to be achieved, adding that that the state and local governments as well as individuals had significant roles to play in the fight against corruption in the country.

“Even though it is a difficult task to

operate at the state level, but that should not be an excuse to leave the crusade to the federal government alone. State governments and all other stakeholders must join hands with the federal government to tackle the menace,” he said.

He commended HEDA for initiating the forum and called on similar NGOs to follow suit.

Earlier, Executive Secretary of HEDA, Sulaimon Arigbabu, stressed the need for all the governors in the country to establish anti-corruption agencies in their respective states to complement federal government effort.

“The anti-corruption situation room is an idea of getting the crusade in the front banner because whether you like it or not corruption will kill Nigeria if Nigeria does not kill corruption,” he warned.

The workshop which had as its theme: “The imperative of state anti-corruption agency, Kano state case study” was attended by various stakeholders, including representatives of civil society organisations and journalists among others.

“You are all aware of the challenges with the operation of the corporation, but we have promised to be transparent.

“You must make sure that we do the work the way it should be, because all of us are

stakeholders in the nation’s oil company.

“Hold us accountable by your work and support us in the effort of ensuring accountability and transparency,” he said.

Review forex restriction for milk importation, NECA charges CBN Motolani Oseni The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) on Thursday has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to, in the interim, suspend the planned foreign exchange restriction for milk importation.

Speaking at a Business Forum in Lagos, Director-General of NECA, Mr Timothy Olawale, explained on the need to gauge the suitability or otherwise of the policy at this time.

He noted that the apex bank should engage

in extensive consultation with all stakeholders.

The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, had on July 23, at the end of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in Abuja, announced a planned policy restricting allocation of foreign exchange for milk importation into Nigeria.

He said that the CBN should create an environment for further engagement of stakeholders that would enable the apex bank to weigh the merits and demerits of the policy in the long term. ‘’While employers understood and acknowledged the imperative for backward integration on the long term, the proposed

foreign exchange restriction is too sudden and has the potential of crippling businesses which are already struggling, ‘’Without prejudice to the long term benefits of backward integration, the shortterm consequences, without a deliberate and acceptable plan by critical stakeholders can be catastrophic for local businesses in the valuechain,” Olawale said.

On the need for a long-term backward integration plan, the director-general said that cow husbandry in Nigeria had been proven not to be ideal for milk production but for consumption only. ‘’Contrary to the postulation that local

cows are good enough for milk production, the massive investment will have to be made for the importation of dairy cows for milk production,’’ Olawale said.

He said that due to the gap that would be created between local supply and demand, unpatriotic citizens would be importing milk, while government losses revenue with massive job losses and attendant social consequences.

Olawale listed other consequences to include capacity under-utilisation as the entire food and beverage sector would be adversely affected because many were dependent in varying degrees on the use of milk as an intermediate product.

“We need to teach our boys, who grow into men that when a girl says ‘no’ it is ‘no.’ we should make some scapegoats to put a stop to it.

“Though there is an awareness on rape, the awareness is not enough. On child abuse, we have fathers sleeping with daughters and mothers sleeping with sons.

“Lagos is the model state in Nigeria. If we don’t speak against rape and child abuse, we will be like India where a man will enter a bus and rape about 50 women. We should have laws in place that will take care of all these,” she said.

Toke Benson also spoke about gender sensitivity, and revealed that she did not like to be regarded as a feminist and detested being pushed to the Ministry of Women Affairs all because she is a woman.

Plateau bye election: APC candidate optimistic of victory Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

Sanwo-Olu Also screened was Princess Aderemi Adebowale, who said that she is a foundation member of the ACN/APC, and a member of the support group of the party in Lagos State.

Adebowale, who said that she was a presenter of a talk show that treats life issues on LTV 8, added that she is a registered nurse.

“I will emphasis the welfare of the workers if given the portfolio of health commissioner in the state.

“Our doctors and nurses travel abroad because of the poor pay in the sector.

“If you go abroad, you will see that nurses are well taken care of. We can have facilities but maintenance is key and insurance is key,” she said.

Adebowale added that she was a sole administrator of a local government in Victoria Island, and that she was able to build about six roads and did some other projects.

“I believe in women empowerment. Also, primary healthcare cannot survive if we don’t have doctors and nurses that can man the hospitals.

“I will curb access to social media by youths to reduce drug abuse.

“We were able to survive before internet came, so our children can survive without it. Some of the lyrics the children listen to are not okay,” she said.

Miss Adekemi Olanike Ajayi-Bembe, who was also screened stated that she has worked in the finance and telecommunication sectors for many years, saying that these adequately prepared her for the task ahead.

Ajayi-Bembe stressed that though Lagos State realised about N388 Billion in 2018 as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), the state could not rely on IGR alone.

The nominee explained that not everything could be fixed at once, and that the state must have priorities.

She added that DFI could assist the state on development, but that they had to see what the state had on ground.

“Infrastructure is very important, we need to fix roads, provide power and affordable housing for the people for them to feel the impact of the government.

“Once the structures are in place the revenue of the state would increase. This is what they

practice in Singapore, China and other places,” she said.

The secretary of the APC in the state, a former member of the Lagos Assembly, Dr. Wale Ahmed was asked to take a bow and go by the chairman of the committee, Hon. Rotimi Abiru as a former member of the Assembly, who left in 2003.

Before being asked to take a bow, Abiru commended Ahmed noting that, “The party scored 100% under the watch of the current executive members in the last general elections.

“It is a good thing that the party appointed you to be a commissioner in the state.

“He was a member of the 4th Lagos State Assembly from 1999 to 2003. We will want him to take a bow and go because of this,” Abiru said and this was accepted by other members of the committee.

Professor Akinola Abayomi, a professor of medicine, who was the sixth nominee to be screened by the committee, said that free health was not possible and backed the health insurance scheme of the state, saying that with this the rich would pay for the healthcare of the poor.

Speaking on the exercise later, Chairman of the committee, Hon. Abiru stated that the committee shall be taking two more sets of nominees on Friday and Saturday.

He said, “You have been part of the exercise, I would not want to be a judge in my own case. The nominees demonstrated a high level of knowledge and the understanding of government. They realised that this is a call to service and they have promised that they would add their experience to governance.

“I don’t have any doubt that those that we have spoken to so far are good and that they would join hands with the governor to make the state better.

“The man that enjoyed the privilege of taking a bow and go was a member of the House and we have agreed to give a former member of the house that privilege.

“He was a commissioner in the state and the state secretary of the APC and he worked assiduously with others to achieve 100% success for our party at the election.

“The final decision lies with the 40 members of the House. Ours is to screen and make a report to the entire House. If the entire House finds them suitable the decision would be communicated to the entire people of the state,” Abiru said.

The August 3rd bye-election for Pengana constituency in Bassa LGA in the state Assembly slated for Saturday in Plateau State, has garnered momentum even as Governor Simon Lalong and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Ahmed Idris Wase stormed the campaign ground to rally support for the APC candidate.

Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), for the election, Hon. Yakubu Sanda, said he is optimistic of winning the election, saying that his party has impressed Nigerians both at the state and national level.

Sanda who spoke to newsmen on Thursday said if elected he would sponsor bills that would help restore lasting peace in his consistency.

“If elected I would mount pressure on the state government who would further mount pressure on the Federal Government to rehabilitate the roads in my constituency.

“Our Governor Simon Lalong has done well in providing dividends of democracy to Plateau people and our people are standing solidly with the entire APC family.

“I have visited so many communities in my constituency and was shocked by the love my people have for the APC,” he said.

It would be recalled that the APC winner of the 2019 House of Assembly general elections in Pengana constituency of Bassa LGA in the state slumped and died after his victory was announced.

INEC has however slated August 3rd 2019 for a by-election.

Carriers of viral Hepatitis and soaring cost of treatment Doosuur Iwambe The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that dying of viral hepatitis is becoming a bigger threat in Africa than dying of AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis, adding that hepatitis does not usually get the awareness and funding it deserves.

Most people who get hepatitis B have no recognizable signs or symptoms. When they do appear, symptoms include flu-like illness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, weakness, and mild abdominal pain.

Dark urine and jaundice may also be observed. Most adults (90 to 95 percent) recover within six months, while 5 to 10 percent develop chronic hepatitis or become carriers. About 50 percent of infected young children will become chronically infected.

Chronic infection can result in cirrhosis, liver failure, and death in severe cases. Liver cancer is also associated with hepatitis B. Hepatitis B carriers are potentially infectious even though they have no symptoms.

Currently, only 12 countries are on track to eliminate hepatitis by 2030. Viral hepatitis kills more than 1.34 million people each year, more than HIV/AIDs or Malaria, yet there is a cure for hepatitis C and a vaccine and effective treatment for hepatitis B. The 4,000 deaths each day caused by viral hepatitis are preventable.

Currently, 290 million people live with viral hepatitis completely unaware, and one of the key reasons is a lack of knowledge about the disease.

World Hepatitis Day (WHD) takes places every year on 28 July, to bring the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change. This year, the emphasis is to take action and raise awareness to “find the missing millions.” Without finding the undiagnosed and linking them to care, millions will continue to suffer, and lives will be lost.

Nigeria joined the league of other nations to sign up to the GHSS and was among the few countries in Africa to develop firm goals towards the elimination of viral hepatitis. Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health, at a briefing on July 30, 2018, said the government was articulating strategies that would lead to a reduction in the number of more than 22 million Nigerians infected with hepatitis B and the more than 4 million with hepatitis C. Hepatitis B, according to the Ministry of Health, has a national prevalence of 11% while hepatitis C has a prevalence of 2.2%. Both have become leading silent killers in the country; more than half of the nation’s population have never been tested and therefore do not know their infection status.

A major cause of the spread of the disease in Nigeria stems from lack of knowledge about the disease, and poor health-seeking behaviours, which makes screening for viral hepatitis difficult. When pregnant women do not attend antenatal care, it means they are not screened for the virus, and there is an increased chance they will pass the virus to their unborn baby if they are positive.

Also, most Nigerians do not do annual medical checks, which reduces the chance of the diseased being spotted on time. Screening for those who work in places like restaurants, gyms, health facilities and schools needs to be better or made mandatory as these workers usually come in contact with sharp objects and serve large groups of people on a daily basis. Screening for those who work in places like restaurants, gyms, health facilities and schools needs to be better or made mandatory as these workers usually come in contact with sharp objects and serve large groups of people on a daily basis.

Awareness about the disease is also low because A total of US $58.7 billion is needed to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat in these 67 countries by 2030. This means reducing new hepatitis infections by 90% and deaths by 65%, according to the study.

“Today 80% of people living with hepatitis can’t get the services they need to prevent, test for and treat the disease,” said WHO DirectorGeneral Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “On World Hepatitis Day, we’re calling for bold political leadership, with investments to match. We call on all countries to integrate services for hepatitis into benefit packages as part of their journey towards universal health coverage.”

Payment for testing and

there are fewer non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focused solely on advocating for action to tackle hepatitis. Donor agencies as well have traditionally focused on HIV and TB rather than hepatitis, which means the disease been grossly underfunded.

Besides screening, there are also gaps in diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis in Nigeria. The cost of diagnosis and treatment is one challenge. Dr David Uzochukwu, a general practitioner who specialises in hepatitis diagnosis and treatment, said it costs about 30 million naira ($75,000) for a 12-week therapy to treat hepatitis C in the US. The high cost of treatment stems from the fact that there are only a few companies producing drugs that treat hepatitis C right now.

Vaccines are available for Hepatitis B, and administered after screening if the person is found to be negative.

In Nigeria, the hepatitis B vaccine has been included as part of the immunisation schedule for children since 2004. This has helped reduce hepatitis B rates in children.

However, rates in adults have gone up. Abraham Malu, former president of the Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Nigeria (SOGHIN), said in 2018 that hepatitis is killing many Nigerians without them knowing. “On a nationwide scale there is a drop in the rate of hepatitis infection among children and this is attributed to the routine immunisation instituted in the country years back, but on the other hand there is a great upsurge among adults as a result of unguarded lifestyle and refusal to undertake periodic medical check-ups,” Malu noted.

Low coverage of testing and treatment is the most important gap to be addressed if Nigeria is to achieve the global elimination goals by 2030.

In 2017, the Lagos State Ministry of Health developed the first time 2-year Operational Plan for the control of viral hepatitis in the State. This came on the heels of the adoption of the 2016 National Council on Health resolution that called for the establishment of statespecific Viral Hepatitis Control Programmes in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The plan is meant to help the state make available viral hepatitis preventive and treatment services in all its health care facilities, in line with the National Viral Hepatitis Strategic Plan.

Nigeria’s former Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, launched the Nigerian Viral Hepatitis Health Facility Directory to commemorate the World Hepatitis Day in 2018. The directory provides information on existing health facilities where hepatitis services are being provided. Uzochukwu points out that the directory was necessary to point people to centres where they could receive care for hepatitis because of the shortage of specialists in Nigeria. He noted that there are only 5-7 gastroenterologists in Abuja, called for training of more doctors to be able to handle the diagnosis and management of non-complex cases of hepatitis.

Vials waiting for samples to be tested for hepatitis.

Many Nigerians who carry the disease are unaware of it.

For World Hepatitis Day, doctors like Uzochukwu are raising awareness through the media and some centres in Abuja, like Epiconsult Diagnostics, are providing free screening for hepatitis. Organisations such as Rotary International held Hepatitis Zero Week Awareness Campaigns to bring the issue to the forefront of public discuss. The Federal Ministry of Health held a symposium to address the issue on Tuesday, July 30th, 2019.

A new study by WHO, published in Lancet Global Health, has found that investing US$6bn per year in eliminating hepatitis in 67 low-and middle-income countries would avert 4.5 million premature deaths by 2030, and more than 26 million deaths beyond that target date.

treatment for hepatitis are some of the challenges facing Nigeria ahead of the global 2030 deadline.

The WHO calls on countries to take advantage of recent reductions in the costs of diagnosing and treating viral hepatitis and scale up investments in disease elimination. By investing in diagnostic tests and medicines for treating hepatitis B and C now, countries can save lives and reduce costs related to long-term care of cirrhosis and liver cancer that result from untreated hepatitis.

Some countries are already taking action. The Government of India has announced that it will offer free testing and treatment for both hepatitis B and C, as part of its universal health coverage plan. This has been facilitated through the reduction in prices of medicines. In India, a hepatitis C cure costs less than US$40 and a year of hepatitis B treatment costs less than US$30. At these prices, hepatitis C cure will result in healthcare cost savings within three years.

The Government of Pakistan

has also procured hepatitis C curative treatment at similarly low prices.

Providing curative treatment to all those currently diagnosed with hepatitis C could also reduce healthcare costs in Pakistan within three years. Meanwhile, Pakistan is faced with one of the highest new annual infection rates of hepatitis C virus and is launching a new infection control and injection safety plan on World Hepatitis Day to stop transmission.

While there has been broad support among WHO Member States in adopting the WHO hepatitis elimination strategy, with 124 out of 194 countries developing hepatitis plans, over 40% of country plans lack dedicated budget lines to support elimination efforts.

From ‘coupon’ to ‘pool’ and now ‘bet,’ most gamblers die poor, but the game has changed for good Betting originated from Greek city states, over 2,000 years ago. The Romans soon adopted it from the Greeks and turned it into a real business, especially from the famous gladiator games. It soon spread to England, where its most famous branch was horse racing.

However, football betting was a culture imported from Britain and began in the late 1920s. During the colonial time to early years after independence, coupon and later pool, was played by mainly the elderly, retired workers and the unemployed. The players were called gamblers and looked at as neverdo-well in the society.

Most gamblers easily get addicted to the game, with eternal hope of ‘hitting it big one day,‘ but end up as paupers because they take risk with their money on their ability to forecast the results of league matches played across all divisions of the English football Leagues.

The matches were detailed on coupon sheets. In those days, promoters of the football pools were mostly Lebanese or Syrian immigrants who operate with licenses issued by the Nigerian federal government. Pool agents were the link between the promoters and betters. The agents were always Nigerians.

In those days, pool houses can be found everywhere in Nigeria and betters arrive early to begin the ‘try your luck’ game which keeps them at the pool house till in the evening as they permute based on their assumed understanding of the football games played in faraway Britain.

One of the greatest limitations of the early football betters was their inability to watch the game on televisions as there were no cable to bring live games from UK to Nigeria those day. They therefore relied more on radio and newspapers to make their ‘perm.’

While most players could only purchase ‘black and white’ television set, transistor radio, sound system and such petty appliances, they keep hoping to win the big money, which most times leave them with battered personal economy as their salaries and pensions were wasted on the games.

In spite of efforts made by successive administrations in Nigeria to curb the menace of coupon or pool betting, the business continued to boom for promoters and agents while betters suffer unmitigated loses, leading to domestic crises and in some cases, divorce.

Faced with the reality that it cannot stop the game, government decided to allow it become part of the Nigerian lifestyle and economy while authorities provided minimal control in form of who to issue operational license as agents to.

But the times have changed. Coupon or pool has acquired a new face and name called bet, in the case of Nigeria, promoted mainly Nigerians and a few foreigners.

It is estimated that betting Nigeria is currently a 2billion US Dollar business and still growing astronomically and blooming with promoters, agents and betters making good money on daily basis.

One of the factors helping the business thrive is association of prominent names to the companies as brand ambassadors which makes them appear credible before the public.

For example, Sportybet.com is said to be promoted by African football legend, Kanu Nwankwo while another football superstar, Austen Jay Jay Okocha is linked to Betking as brand ambassador. These are names Nigerians hold in high esteem and linking them to business names increases brand

acceptability.

In Nigeria today, there are hundreds of football betting promoters, including those running the business online. They include Nairabet, Merrybet, Bet9ja, Naijabet, Lovingbet, Surebet247, Supabets, 1960bet, Nairastake and Parknbet, among many

others.

Currently it is estimated that about 60 million Nigerians are involved in active betting.

Apart from credibility of promoters and brand ambassadors, another reason why Nigerians are playing the game is because of their love for football.

Another factor is easy access to the game itself. With the aid of cable television, almost all players of football betting have are able to watch the games live on television and are therefore able to make more accurate predictions of contest outcome, and that is why they are making much more money than the early betters.
