Mace snatching: Give us situation report in one week, Senate tells Police, DSS chiefs

PHOTO TIMES

Ï The affront on our laws and institutions mustnot go

unpunished’, says Ekweremadu

Olufemi Samuel and Tunde Opalana, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Senate on Thurs-

day mandated Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris and the Director General Department of State Security to give the upper chamber full details of efforts of fishing out and punishing perpetrators of the Wednesday mace snatching saga during plenary.

Though the mace has been recovered and returned to the National Assembly, the Senate insisted that persons behind the act and those that executed the plan need to be brought to book to serve as deterrent to others.

This followed comments by deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu at the resumption of plenary immediately after a closed door executive session which lasted 64 minutes.

To get to the roots of the matter, he said “We call on the Inspector General of Police and Director-General of the State Security Service to ensure that all those, who plotted, aided, abated, and executed this dastardly affront on our democracy and belittled Nigeria be-

fore the international community must be brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others. We will be inviting them next week to brief us on the state of the investigations.

“We believe that there should be consequence for bad behaviour. It will be a detour to the state of nature where life was lawless and brutish if what happened yesterday is allowed to go unpunished or to be swept under the carpet. It will never happen”.

Describing the unfortunate situation, he said it beats the imagination of Nigerians and the civilised world that the attackers passed through the several security checks and barriers into the National Assembly and the inner recesses of the chamber and also escaped with the mace into the thing air despite the well-known fortified surroundings of the parliament.

“This incident has also brought to the fore the case many of us have always made for a decentrlaised police system. Ordinarily, a big institution like the National Assembly should have its own police, apart from the Sergeants-at-Arm.

However, the security of this parliament is fully outside the control of the National Assembly. Instructively, the same gangterism that was witnessed here yesterday has been recorded in various State Houses of Assembly.

He promised that the parliament will not be deterred by the ugly incident. “We swore to uphold the laws of the Federal Republic and the principles of democracy. I want to assure Nigerians that we will never waver in the responsibility they have elected us to shoulder. We will all stand together to defend this institution of the parliament and our democracy. We will never fear to legislate; and we will never legislate out of fear”, he said.

Ekweremadu, on behalf of the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, appreciated his colleagues for their understanding and maturity in the face of flagrant provocation.

He also specially appreciate the leadership and members of the House of Representatives, the Management and staff of the National Assembly, especially l chamber staff for their gallantry.

Buhari didn’t deride all Nigerian youths - Presidency Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

The Presidency has refuted news making the rounds on a comment attributed to President Muhammadu Buhari to have said that ‘All Nigerian youths are idle, don’t want to go to school but want freebees.’

President Buhari was quoted to have made the comment at the Commonwealth Business Forum on Wednesday in London when giving a keynote address on Making Business Easier Between Commonwealth Countries.

But Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Thursday, said that the presentation buy Buhari was followed by a discussion, and question and answer session, denying that “the President couldn’t have deride all Nigerian youths.”

He said, “Responding to a question, President Buhari had cause to talk about

some Nigerian youths, and he said: “ We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million.

More than 60 per cent of the population is below the age of 30. A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”

Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr. President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners. But elementary English recognizes a wide gulf between “a lot of” and the word “all.” How can “a lot of them,” suddenly transmogrify to mean “all of them?” Mischievous and unconscionable!”

According to the Presidential spokesman, there is no way President Buhari,

father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths.

“It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as “irresponsible politics” with everything,” he added.

Buhari has always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms.

And he will continue to do so, because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests, he stated.

“Indeed, every country has its share of idle population, and it is the bounden duty of government at all levels, to create an enabling environment for them to actualize their potentials.

That is what President Buhari is committed to doing.

Against odds, oil price hits 3 years high of $75 Continued from page 1 Agence France Presse (AFP) also reports that as of close of Thursday trading, the World oil prices extended Wednesday’s gains on the back of data showing a drop in US stockpiles — indicating improved demand — and expectations that a Russia-OPEC output cap deal will be kept in place.

But the International Monetary Fund (IMF) earlier in the week projected that Nigerian economy will grow from 0.8 per cent in 2017 to 2.1 per cent by the end of 2018, while warning

of possible crash in crude oil prices.

Experts ,however, believe that Saudi Arabia still calls the shots on global oil markets, and it is increasingly obvious the Saudis are comfortable with oil at $80 or more.

The Daily Times recalls that the latest oil price surge is the first since November 2014, while London Brent struck $74.44 per barrel and New York crude touched $69.27.

Asian markets enjoyed another day of gains on Thursday as the region’s energy firms also tracked a surge in oil prices.

The Organisation of the

Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other major producers including Russia started to withhold output in 2017 to rein in oversupply that had depressed prices since 2014.

OPEC and its partners will meet in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday (today).

OPEC will then meet on June 22 to review its oil production policy.

Since the start of the supply cuts, crude inventories have gradually declined from record levels toward long-term average levels.

Further supporting oil prices is an expectation that the US will re-introduce sanctions against

Iran, OPEC’s third-largest producer, which can result in further supply reductions from the Middle East.

The Daily Times, during the week reported that there is high likelihood that the global crude oil price may gain further, following JP Morgan prediction that if Europe reimposed sanctions alongside the United State, that the crude worth may be pushed towards $80 per barrel (pb), if not more.

But Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude oil price at the weekend hit $72pb, its highest peak since 2014, supported by OPEC led production cuts, and the U.S. military action in Syria.

Court stops Police, DSS, AGF from arresting, threatening Sen Omo-Agege Andrew Orolua, Abuja.

ÏÏÏ

Senator Ovie OmoAgege (APC, Delta Central), on Wednesday, secured an interim court order restraining the Nigeria Police and Department of State Services from further arresting him.

The Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), High Court , Justice Ishaq Bello on Thursday granted the senator’s prayers for an interim order after listening to an exparte application filed by Senator Omo-Agege who was reportedly questioned briefly by the police and later released over the incident leading to the snatching of the Senate mace by some thugs.

Arguing the application, lawyer to Omo-Agege, Aliyu Umar (SAN), urged the court to grant his client’s

prayers to protect him from further arrest and harassment, pending the determination of his fundamental human rights enforcement suit he filed against the respondents.

Justice Bello granted the four prayers sought by the senator and adjourned the matter to May 6, 2018 . The FCT CJ also assigned the case file to Justice Usman Musale for further hearing.

Senator Omo-Agege was suspended from the Senate on April 12 over his remark that a bill for reordering of election sequence was targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari .

Omo-Agege later apologised to his colleagues and filed a Fundamental Human Rights suit after the Senate had directed its Ethics & Privileges Committee to investigate the matter. The committee

eventually recommended Omo-Agege’s suspension for 180 days that was later reduced to 90 days by the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

But on Wednesday, the suspended Senator resurfaced at the National Assembly while some thugs forced their way through to the floor of the Red Chamber in session and took away its mace.

The Senate spokesman, Senator Abdullahi Sabi, later accused Mr. Omo-Agege of leading the unknown persons who broke into the Senate’s session and carted away its mace.

But Omo-Agege in a statement on Wednesday evening, denied the allegation. He also denied that he was arrested by the police officers who briefly protected him after the Senate session.

The senator claimed that

he was at the National Assembly to resume sittings “based on legal advice and his understanding of the current position of the law.”

In a related development, the Nigeria police on Thursday morning announced the recovery of the mace .

A statement by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters, SP Aremu Adeniran said “a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted the Police about the discovery.

“The Police teams engaged in massive raids of identified criminal spots/ flashpoints, stop and search operations, visibility and confidence building patrols, intelligence gathering which forced the suspected miscreants to abandon the Mace at a point under the flyover before the City Gate, where a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted the Police.”

Nigeria’s crude oil production also increased from 1.792mbpd in February to 1.810mbpd in March.

OPEC and allies including Russia are keeping crude oil supply limits in place in 2018, to reduce a price-denting glut of oil held in inventories.

President Donald Trump administration on April 7 imposed new sanctions on seven of Russia’s richest men and 17 top government officials in the latest effort to punish President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle for interference in the 2016 election and other Russian aggressions.

Deshpande agreed that reinstated Iranian sanctions next month were a risk for markets, albeit one that was likely already largely priced in by markets and so would only add US$2 to US$5 to oil prices.

The greater risk, he said, was that Europe also reimposed sanctions alongside the US, a scenario that would push crude “at least towards US$80, if not more”.

While “definitely not a good thing” for markets already struggling with an array challenges, a 10 per cent climb in crude this year and a 25 per cent rise yearon-year “isn’t the kind of stuff that qualifies as an oil shock by any standard”, JP Morgan head of cross-asset strategy John Normand said.

Another leg higher to US$80 or higher in crude prices would, however, “prevent risky markets from making the gains they deserve to make in the second quarter,” Norman said.

“Whilst the risks to oil supply from possible sanctions on Iran or Russia and from damage to oil infrastructure are significant, we still expect the market to be in surplus this year and the recent surge in prices is only likely to incentivise further increases in drilling rigs and output, especially in the US,” the Capital Economics team said.

Deshpande, however, doubted that US shale would be able to respond sufficiently to fill the shortfall in supply, while OPEC countries would be “slow to respond”. That would see oil prices “remaining higher towards the end of the year”.

Nearly 500,000 have been killed in the long-running Syrian conflict, while the Yemen civil war has left an estimated 10,000 dead since it began in 2015.

According to its latest World Economic Outlook (WEO) Report launched in Washington DC on Tuesday,

the Fund projected that Nigeria will also grow by 1.9 per cent in 2019.

The IMF, however, advised oil-dependent economies, including Nigeria, to intensify economic diversification as the global body foresees the crash of crude oil prices in the near future.

“Some low-income countries like Mozambique and Nigeria have experienced financial stress or deteriorating loan quality in recent years as growth has moderated and corporate balance sheets have weakened.

“Further deterioration in loan quality would impair credit intermediation and the ability of the banking sector to support growth, which would raise the risk of cost recapitalisation and severely burden the already strained public finances,’’ the IMF said.

The IMF Director of Research, Mr c at the WEO press conference, said that global economy would grow by 3.9 per cent in 2018.

Obstfeld said the forecast was borne out of the continued strong performance in the Euro area, Japan, China and the United States.

“Despite the good nearterm news, longer-term prospects are more sobering. Advanced economies are far facing aging population, falling rates of labour force and low productivity growth.

“Emerging and developing economies present a diverse picture. Many of these countries need to diversify their economies to boost future growth and resilience,’’ he said.

According to Obstfeld, global financial conditions remained loose, despite the approach of higher monetary policy interest rates and enabling a further buildup of asset-market vulnerabilities.

He said that the recent escalating tension over trade (United States vs China) presented a growing risk for global financial stability.

“The prospect of trade restrictions and counterrestrictions threatens to undermine confidence and derail global growth prematurely.

“While some governments are pursuing substantial economic reforms, trade disputes risk diverting others from the constructive steps they would need to take now to improve and secure growth prospects,’’ he said.

The IMF encouraged each national government to advance growth by resolving issues of climate change, infectious diseases, cyber-security, corporate taxation and corruption, among others.

EFCC has powers to freeze accounts with proceeds of fraud - Appeal Court Continued from page 1 lenging the judgement of the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti.

The Court of Appeal said: “An anti-graft agency is empowered to freeze any account suspected to be warehousing proceeds of unlawful activities without any human inducement, there is nothing like breach of fundamental rights in such move”.

Justice Taiwo Taiwo had in his verdict affirmed the

fundamental rights of Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose and unfroze the account of Fayose.

The lower court also dismissed the application of the EFCC, seeking for the stay of execution of its judgment on governor’s account.

But the appellate court has set aside the judgment of the lower court and ordered the governor’s account with Zenith Bank to remain frozen.

In the lead judgement

of the three man appellate panel read by Justice J.S Ikeyagha, the appellate court held that the decision of lower court to dismiss the motion for stay of execution filed by EFCC against his judgment delivered on December 13, 2016 lacks merit.

However, the appellate court admitted that its decision and that of the lower court is subject to further appeal to the Supreme Court if the situation warrants it.

Justice Taiwo of the lower court had ruled EFCC action breached said the governor’s fundamental rights to fair hearing.

EFCC had in December 2016 frozen Governor Fayose’s accounts with Zenith Bank after it allegedly traced part of the N4.7billion arms funds from the office of the National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), to Fayose’s accounts with the bank.

The governor however denied the claim, saying his election was sponsored

by Zenith Bank. To butress his claim, Fayose later showed the pictures of a high powered delegation from the bank, one of them on his knees begging the governor.

On December 13, 2016, Justice Taiwo ruled against EFCC and two days later, December 15, 2016, Governor Fayose went to the bank and made transactions on the account. He

withdrew N5 million and transferred N75 million into the account of his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN. An attempt by EFCC to freeze Ozekhome’s account via an ex parte order of a Federal High Court, Lagos was also dismissed.

But Justice Ikeyegha has faulted the lower judgement that the freezing of the account is a breach of fundamental rights and thereby ordered the account to remain frozen.

2019: Christian leaders declare 30-day fasting to stop Buhari Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

Concerned citizens under the auspices of United Christian Leaders Eagle Eyes Forum (UCLEEF) has declared 30 days period of prayers and fasting to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from winning next year’s presidential election.

Chairman of UCLEEF, Pastor Aminchi Habu, who addressed a press conference in Abuja, on Thursday, premised the spiritual intervention on the need to exit Nigerians from the prevailing hardship that

has engulfed the country since the inception of the Buhari administration.

In this vein, Habu, called on Nigerians to observe the period irrespective of religious, ethnic and political divides.

According to him, “it is the citizenry that have the power, right and choice to make the country great again”.

Besides, he said that what the country needs to end the high level of social decadence and lack of development in the country was to elect a leader with a vision and the mindset to make the nation great

“The president knows that he has nothing you offer this country. So, he should just maintain his integrity by keeping to his word of doing only one term.

“He failed already and will surely fail again because nothing will change.

It will still be the same group of people. Just because engine oil makes a car run smoothly doesn’t mean it can revive an engine that knocks.

“The president is not a leader anymore but has turned to a ruler. A leader put his people first while a ruler only thinks about

himself. Right now Mr President is not thinking about the masses but himself only. He just wants to remain in power and not you serve thus country because he cannot.

“We cannot continue like this and that is why we are urging Nigerians to vote massively against him and retire him forcefully. He has nothing to offer again.

Mr President is known for blaming others for his failures. He blames the PDP on the economic problems in the country and now he is blaming late Gaddafi for the insecurity problems in the country,” he said.

Darius Ishaku on Thursday reported the Federal Government to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over alleged involvement of the military in the continuous terrorisation of people of the state.

The governor also accused the military of allegedly terrorising citizens of the state, having taken over the role of the police, thereby aggravating the precarious security situation in the state.

Briefing journalists immediately after an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council meeting of the PDP at its Wadata Plaza national secretariat, the governor said it is worrisome that the state is under military siege.

Ishaku said, “ The military has taken over the job of the Police and bombarding peoples houses at 2:am, arresting youths and locking them up. Two of these youths were missing and we understand that they are with the military and being transferred to the Abuja military headquarters.

“I asked for the reason.

Nobody has confronted me with the reason. All I was told was that they committed crime. Which crime nobody has told me about as the Chief Executive and Chief Security Officer of the state.

“Nobody has reported this to me. The Police are not aware of this. The military have written to the

Takum Local Government Chairman for him to report to them immediately to be arrested.

“I am now calling on the federal government to call on the military to bring back those boys that were arrested and allow the police to do their job if indeed, they are criminals and to insist that the military do what they are asked to do and that is to defend us; they shouldn’t allow us to be vulnerable.

He also claimed that armed forces are not protecting the people against the killer herdsmen but now going around arresting the youths in the town, saying that, “in the southern part of Taraba, military has been withdrawn, but that is not only the case, we are still being harassed by the herdsmen militia”.

The alleged victimization on his people, he said, led to the demonstration of the women last week, a situation which he said is getting really bad.

Senator Aniete Okon said the attack on Takum, the home town of Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) is a vendetta by the federal government induced military against the former Defence minister for openly alleging collusion of the military with armed militia terrorising Taraba and other troubled states in the country.

Okon said the first duty of any government is to secure lives and property but said it is unfortunate that the Buhari government has failed woefully in this regard.

Senate invasion not coincidence but collusion, says Ekweremadu Tunde Opalana, Abuja

ÏÏÏ Deputy

Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has described the ugly incidence of invasion of the Senate chamber on Wednesday as not just a coincidence but collusion.

Ekweremadu, who gave a vivid description of the architecture landscape of the National Assembly, said it is practically impossible to outsmart the security layout of the parliament without connivance.

The Deputy Senate president said for the intruders to have carried out the attack and got away unchallenged despite the proximity of the nation’s security institutions like the Police Force headquarters, the headquarters of the National Brigade of Guards and the Department of State Security to the National Assembly calls for questions.

He said the ‘Three Arms Zone’ which hosts the executive, legislative and judiciary should be impregnable for intruders of such feeble might.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the emergency National Executive Council meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja on Thursday, Ekweremadu said the current security situation is a deservice to the nation as interested foreign investors would be discouraged.

He choose not to expatiate on the incidence, but appreciated the party for standing by the Senate during the trial period.

Ekweremadu congratulated the party executive led

by Prince Uche Secondus and the National Working Committee (NWC) for the efforts to bring aggrieved members back to the fold and peace process in some troubled state chapters of the party.

He urged the leadership of the PDP to bring the party back to the winning ways and ensure the party wins the presidential election in 2019.

Welcoming members to the meeting, National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus said the meeting was called to evaluate the present state of the nation by the opposition party that is responsible to caution the APC-led government from sinking the country.

The party noted that it

is very disturbing that the ruling APC has continued to show in all ramifications that it lacks the wherewithal to manage this country.

“Herdsmen brazenly invade our homes and farms, rape, maim and kill our people daily, and thugs do the same in our parliament yet we have a government.

“This obnoxious development has placed enormous challenge on us as the main opposition party to up our game and quickly rescue this country from the appalling APC administration.

“Majority of Nigerians who are disillusioned about the state of affairs in the last three years are excited that we are trying to get it right as we remain the last hope for our democracy.

“Because of this challenge, we have taken it upon ourselves as the leading opposition party to broaden our scope, open our doors and allow ideas to flow in for a more robust democratic development. We therefore, invite our brothers, sisters, youths and women from other political parties in this platform to join us to rescue our country that is in distress, socially, politically, economically and security wise.

Towards achieving this, he said PDP is in consultation with former presidents and leaders of the country to rescue the country from APC misgovernance and to wrestle power in 2019.

He said former leaders of the country are in unison on having a new president and forming a new government and that the party has been meeting with different groups, persons and political associations.

“Our consultations have taken us to meet with various interest groups who are willing to do business with us and I can report to you that it has very fruitful.

We expect in coming days to have a broader political family working dedicatedly to rescue this democracy and our beloved country from the hands of APC. “All hands must be on deck to achieve the great task of removing this APC government and replacing it with a government that will meet the hopes and aspirations of Nigerians”, he said.

He spoke on reconciliation and peace building efforts of the party in realising its aspirations particularly winning the Presi-

dency, while he commended the Chairman of the Reconciliatory Committee, His Excellency, Governor Seraike Dickson of Bayelsa State, who has submitted his committee report to the NWC as well as former Senate President, David Mark, whose committee on Ekiti State has also been submitted.

The party’s Board of Trustees chairman, Senator Walid Jibril, also commended the Secondus-led executive for reuniting the party.

He cautioned that “our party need frankness, sincerity of purpose. We must be ready to tell ourselves the bitter truth now. We must deploy our efforts to improving the lots of the party. Despite all difficulties, the party remains one”.

Chairman. PDP Governor’s Forum, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, said “the party is gaining ground again, people are beginning to read between the lines, they have hope and the hope will not be dashed”.

In the same vein, the party has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement that Nigerian youths are lazy as extremely shocking, false, derogatory and unpatriotic.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said the President’s statement is totally unacceptable and must be condemned by all right-thinking people to avoid further verbal assault against our country, particularly at international fora.

“How can President Buhari describe Nigerian youths as lazy, when they have proven, without doubt, to be one of the most industrious sets of individuals across the world?

“Here is a President, whose administration has in its three years of governance, contributed nothing towards providing opportunities for our youths and who has not initiated or implemented any development project or set up any industry to provide jobs for our aspiring youths.

Presidential panel, ministers, SGF shun Reps panel on public property recovery Henry Omunu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ Members of

the Special Presidential Investigation Panel, the ministers of finance, justice and the secretary to the government of the federation, the anti - corruption agencies handling recovered public property on Thursday, shunned the investigative conducted by the House of Representatives ad hoc panel set up to look at the modus operandi and legality of the assets recovery process.

Piqued by the indifference shown by administration officials, Chairman of the House ad hoc committee, Hon Ahmed Pategi warned heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that

they risk their 2018 budget defense process being suspended by the House.

The ad hoc committee chairman gave the warning while postponing the committee’s investigative session because of the failure of the invited government functionaries to honour the committee’s summons to shed light on the public assets recovered so far from unscrupulous public office holders.

The angry lawmaker warned that the continued absence of heads of agencies and those saddled with the assets recovery process who can provide authoritative answers to issues that need clarification from House members risk being given zero allocation in the 2028 budget.

Pategi said parliament was tired of the antics of invited stakeholders who send lowly subordinates to represent them at investigative hearings and in the process stall the activities of the legislature.

“This parliament and it’s committees are disturbed about the attitude of you people (heads of MDAs); we will take you people headon by taking you to the peoples’ court for them to really see and decide who is actually throwing spanners in the works.

“The general public see us as a bunch of people who do nothing but receive big money, not knowing that it is people like you that draws the hand of the clock back in the quest to move the country for ward,” he

added.

Other committee members said as representatives of the people charged with oversight functions, heads of MDAs cannot give excusses by been absent from public hearing because of other urgent national assignments, adding that no assignment could be more important than the one affecting the generality of the people.

Postponing the ad- hoc committee sitting till next week Tuesday, Pategi summoned the chairman and members of the presidential panel, secretary to the government of the federation, head of service of the federation, accountant general of the federation and the auditor general of the federation.

$1.6bn fraud: Court threatens to close prosecution case against Omokore, others

By Andrew Orolua, Abuja Federal

High

Abuja on Thursday threatened to close the case of the prosecution against Jide Omokere, an ally to the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke who is standing trial over $1.6bn fraud.

Omokere is being prosecuted alongside the former Managing Director of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, Victor Briggs, former Group Executive Director, Exploration and Production of the NNPC, Abiye Membere, former Manager, Planning

and Commercial of the NNPC, David Mbanefo, on a nine-count amended charge of criminal diversion of about $1.6bn alleged to be proceeds of petroleum products belonging to the Federal Government.

Equally charged are two corporate entities, Atlantic Energy Brass Development Limited and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Limited, allegedly owned by Omokore .

At a resumed trial on Thursday, the prosecution counsel, Oluwaleke Atolagbe told the court that the lead counsel, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), asked for a stand down.

When the court

probed further, Atolagbe informed the trial judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba that Jacob had informed him on Wednesday night that he could not get the prosecution witnesses who were billed for examination.

Atolagbe said he was told by Jacob that the prosecution witnesses, who are supposedly operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission were writing examination.

Reacting to Atolagbe’s request for a stand down or in the main, an adjournment, Lawal Rabalan (SAN), representing the 1st defendant, though

called him on the issue, however expressed reservation. of the EFCC since the trial commenced, describing it as “unfortunate”.

The 1st defendant’s counsel stated that rather than call it’s witnesses, the prosecution resorts to media trial.

“My lord, let us proceed fairly, with the belief that at the end of the day, parties will be been done.

“Most of the adjournments granted by this court since this trial started, are at the instance of the prosecution. In fact, none of the defence lawyers has asked for an adjournment” Rabalan

stated.

Resisting the temptation to request the court to close the prosecution’s case, the 1st defendant lawyer however asked the Judge to order that the adjournment would be the last at the instance of the prosecution.

On their part, counsel to the 2nd, 3rd and 5th defendants, all aligned themselves with Rabalan’s submission.

They observed with dismay that the non-production of prosecution witnesses by the EFCC “had become a recurring decimal.

The defence lawyers consequently prayed the court to grant an adjournment but with a

caveat that, “if the EFCC was unable to produce their witnesses on the next adjourned date, the court will close their case”.

After listening to the defence lawyers, Justice Dimgba said he was minded to grant the oral application seeking the court to close the prosecution’s case, but warned against a repeat occurrence.

“I would have closed the case of the prosecution, but I will grant the prosecution one more indulgence, the court held.

Justice Dimgba, however adjourned to April 26 and 27 for the prosecution to call it’s witnesses.

Nigerians have been advised to disregard the recent comments of the Chairman the Presidential Advisory

(PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay, criticism the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

South South leaders in a press statement signed by the Chairman, South-South Front (SSF), Chief John Harry on Tuesday in Asaba, Delta State, capital said Sagay is the wrong person to raise issues of performance against anybody.

They urged Sagay to refrain from making mockery of his age and profession.

“Sagay’s comment on the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara is condemnable.

It could be out of ignorance or mischief,” the leaders said.

They described Sagay as an anarchist, split personality and his statement to blemish OdigieOyegun’s integrity as “bellicose, false and sinister” “Sagay’s comment is politically motivated to promote his sponsors. the basis of his assertion that Oyegun is a failure, disaster to the party and his reinstatement will be suicidal. We don’t think anyone in his right sense would say that.

How can the emergence of Saraki and Dogara as Senate President and Speaker be a yardstick to judge his performance? Sagay got it all wrong.

He should be reminded on how Oyegun built the ruling party and got the image of APC shining across the country.”

Describing Sagay’s arguments as amateurish, the leaders urged sane elements in the country, particularly Lagos State to prevent the continued misleading of the public by people like Sagay who is inspired by hatred, wickedness and

contribution to the unity and growth of the ruling party and terming his tenure a disaster simply shows lack of respect, short sightedness and poor understanding of the workings of political parties with contending groups and interests.

the good people of Okpe Kingdom and Itsekiri nation.

Ex-lawmaker faults mace snatching, slams Senate over Omo-Agege’s suspension A former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly and legal practitioner, Hon. Babatunde Ogala has described the snatching of the Mace of the Senate during plenary by some hoodlums as the height of brigandage, an assault not just on the legislature, but on the constitution, adding that it smacks of sheer anarchy and highly condemnable.

Reacting to the incident, Ogala said, “But in so saying, one must note that the Senate set the stage for the madness and anarchy, with the suspension of Senator Omo-Agege in and the Orders of Court.

“And why do I say so? The rules of the Senate has expressly provided a court of law, the Senate shall not deliberate on same or do any act that may interfere with the proceedings of the court.

“Senator Omo-Agege had gone to court and obtained an order of Court to restrain the Senate and it’s from taking further steps on the investigations of his conduct pending the determination of the suit.

“Despite receiving the Order of Court, the Senate at plenary rather than stay action proceeded to condemn the order of Court and abuse the judge who granted the order.”

According to him, “the temerity to adopt a motion to write and indeed wrote to the Chief Justice of Nigeria threatening and asking him to call judges to order.

“And as if that was not enough, it still went ahead to invite the

order of Court and also reminded it of the provisions of the Senate rules that prohibits it from deliberating on

“Notwitstanding the order of court and it’s rules, the Senate set both aside and went on to suspend Senator OmoAgege.

“It will be recalled that before the instant case, the Federal High Court had earlier delivered judgement in Senator Ali Ndume v NASS and ruled that the Senate or any legislative house had no constitutional powers to suspend an elected member and that same is unlawful, unconstitutional, null and void.

“The Senate being aware of its own rules, the judgement in Ali Ndume case and the order in Omo - Agege case still went ahead to purportedly suspend the senator.

“All in all, I condemn the act of desecrating the hallowed chambers by the Omo-Agege thugs, but hold the Senate fully responsible for laying the foundation for the desecration and anarchy,” he said.

PDP will remove Buhari from power in 2019, Adiukwu-Bakare boasts A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in Lagos State, Chief (Mrs) Remi Adiukwu-Bakare, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari can be defeated in the upcoming 2019 general elections.

While speaking to another newspaper recently, on whether her party can produce a candidate that can beat Buhari at the polls, AdiukwuBakare, said, “Yes, PDP can and will stop President Buhari in 2019. But that is if we present the right candidate through a transparent process. It is not enough for PDP to just say it will stop Buhari or displace APC. We need to know that it has a lot to do with the candidate and the process. We must do everything within our power to get it right in the manner we choose our candidate and the pedigree of the candidate will also count.

“Now that PMB has declared his interest to seek a reelection, I can assure you that the various interests within PDP know what we are now up against and will ensure we don’t have a repeat of why we are where we are today. As a party, we have learnt our lessons and as individuals we are more amenable to ensuring that the process is allowed to go smoothly this time around.

“Who were mostly responsible for Buhari’s success in 2015? They were the young people who felt their future could be better by his

Adiukwu-Bakare

emergence as President. Today we have an unbelievable registration of new voters almost 8million and mostly youths. These young people are the very people PDP is relying on to return it to power.

We believe they are now better informed.

“Now they are clamouring for new breeds of leaders.

They are asking for something different in the administration of this country and I think my generation should hearken to their demands in 2019. We have those who can lead this nation to greatness in quantum, but they may not have the kind of money needed to pursue such ambition. In this clime, money is the language of politics.”

“We have people who can wrest power from Buhari in our party in 2019. Yes, we do.

How can anybody say there’s nobody in PDP who can wrest power from Buhari in 2019?

We have several aspirants jostling to pick the ticket of our party as we speak. PDP is still the most attractive opposition party in the country today. Tell me which other party people are looking up to? It is the PDP. “We also know this and that is why we are working round the clock to ensure that we rally the opposition ahead of the 2019 elections. PDP is still the strongest political party in Nigeria and the people know this. From the North to the South, all those who are not pleased with the current administration are ready to work with the PDP to bring about a change in 2019,” she said.

OUR POSITION

Time to revamp the textile industry

ecent news report that the Kaduna Textile Mills, the New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC), in partnership with a Turkish firm and in collaboration with the federal government will invest $15 million to reactivate the collapsed Kaduna Textile Company is a welcomed development. The move is in line with President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s policy of resuscitating the textile industry, among others, to provide more job opportunities in the country.

The textile company was started in 1956 in Kaduna to process the cotton being produced in the northern part of the country. Many other textile companies soon sprang up in Lagos and between Kaduna and Kano axis.

By the 1970s and the early 1980s, the Nigerian textile industry had grown to become the third largest in Africa and employed well over 400,000 Nigerians across the country.

The oil boom of the 1970s and the early 1980s which increased the purchasing power of the government and the citizens led to the neglect of agriculture and many vital industries, particularly the textile industry, thus crippling other sectors of the economy and putting the economic viability of the country in serious jeopardy.

Thereafter, the textile industry suffered ne-

glect and by 2002 the Kaduna Textile Mill closed with more than 7,000 of its workers sent home. Today, the textile industry employs less than 30,000 workers with the factories operating either below capacity or totally closed and most of their plants in operational distress.

The first attempt to revive the industry was in 2010 when the Bank of Industry (BoI) approved N10 billion textile revival fund. The fund increased capacity utilisation in the industry from 29.14 per cent to the current 50 per cent. In reviving the industry this time around the government must also focus on the production of cotton, kenaf and other raw materials that are associated with the textile industry.

It is a good thing that in revitalising the textile industry, government has put in place the cotton, textile and garment policy. Towards this end, it has directed that uniforms of military and para-military personnel as well as uniforms for many public schools students should, henceforth, be produced and purchased locally. With this policy in place and, if the prices are right, governments in the ECOWAS sub-regional market will patronise Nigerian textile industry.

In addition, government’s current intervention in the industry must be effective and sustained so that the local textile industry can thrive and flourish again. In the

past, poor power supply and high interest rates on borrowed funds escalated the cost of production of local textile mills. This time around, the government must ensure improved power supply across the country so as to lower the cost of production for the textile mills, while the government should create intervention funds through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as alternative to loans from commercial banks which attract high interest rates.

Furthermore, the Department of Customs must also address the smuggling of cheap textile goods and second hand clothing by Nigerians and Asians, particularly Indians and Chinese into the country. There must also be frequent access to long-term finance by the BoI and other investment banks in the country to enable the textile mills stock raw materials and change their machinery as and when due.

There is no doubt that if this new tempo is maintained and sustained, the Cotton, Textile and Garment industry will thrive and blossom again.

We believe that with such strategic revamping and repositioning, the Cotton, Textile and Garment industry promises to be one of the effective ways of providing employment for the teeming youth, thus promoting economic growth and stability of the country.

Abubakar Atiku will make Nigeria great

I Matthew Oye

do not need to do so much analysis to predict the person who will emerged as the winner of next year presidential election in Nigeria.

It’s no other person than the Turaki Adamawa, Abubakar Atiku. Let the truth be told Abubakar Atiku is the only candidate who has done deep and thorough analysis and reflection of the challenges we are facing as a nation and has come up with a prepared solutions. Nigeria challenged are multifaceted. To most people, Nigeria is a nation of paradox. With so much wealth in human and material resources yet our people are wallowing in excruciating poverty.

We have been suffering for a long time in this nation, but the present suffering that Nigerians are suffering is just unbearable. We have the problem of epileptic electrical generation. Some people say its those who are importing generators from China that are crippling our electricity generation. Others are saying consumers don’t want to pay for the electricity they consume. Billions dollars contracts on road with no job done. Most of our hospitals are in shambles.

Let me use this opportunity to congratulate the Nigerian youth for their patient and resilience.

Politicians have always been using them as pawn. But the unemployment rate in Nigeria is so much right now and unless something drastic is done,it will degenerate into a national spring that no one will be able to contained. Instead of been on the offensive and obliterate the terrorists scourge as promised, this government has been on the defensive fire fighting. Look at them they say they are fighting corruption and they are the same people who crying that corruption is fighting back. I have been out of

Nigeria for over twenty years and I know Nigeria do not have good image abroad. For those of us who are used to the ridicule we just laugh over it or we turn things into a defensive verbal war when they tell us that they don’t want to rent their apartments to a Nigerian or they don’t want to deal with a Nigerian. But then, all the myriads of challenges that we face as a nation , non is as debilitating as the bane of bad leadership. Indeed, Nigerians have been bedevilled with trial and error leaders.

In 2015, president Buhari rode on the back of populist outcry against Goodluck Jomathan’s profligacy.

Three years down the road, Buhari has completely erode that goodwill and Nigerians don’t like to see his face anymore. Let’s tell the truth, the suffering in the Nigeria today is unbearable. And our leader seems not to know what to do to assuage the pains that people are going through. It seems they don’t even care.

One major flaws of our democracy which has become obvious during this Buhari regime is that first, APC is not a political party but an amalgam of strange bedfellows who lust for power but they never prepared for what to do when power is thrown into their laps. That is why they couldn’t hit the ground running. That is the reason it took president Buhari light years away to assembly his C- team. This is unlike countries like, Britain, Ghana, French where most of those who emerged as ministers have been shadow ministers for some years and they have a grasp of what they have to start doing when they win election.

I will not sit here calling president Buhari names like some others are doing on the social media.

Buhari has served this nation well

and it’s almost unimaginable his sacrifice to the nation as army, administrator and lately as a political leader. I think he assemble a wrong team. Just two years to his tenure some key appointees of his government have started declaring their intention to contest for governorship position of their States. They don’t even believe in him. This is quite unpatriotic. This is arrant nonsense. And they, don’t even has the gut to resigned their ministerial appointments. And of course the Buhari we all know will never. give them the marching order. They are sitting there as Ministers in his government while their soul ,spirit and body is dying to become executive governors of their states using all the resources in their ministries to oil their governorship ambition.

The campaign for next year presidential election is going to be rigorous. Buhari won’t have the energy for such rigour. As a matter of fact, unlike those good old days of Aminu Kano, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and the originals who engaged in splendid campaigns touring every nooks and corners of the country, today presidential candidates just fly to the States capital address some motley of rented crowd and returned to Abuja tired. Nigeria politics is no more exciting as it used to be.

And here is where, Abubakar Atiku comes in. Again Atiku is not an angel. I don’t particularly like the way he was moving from one political party to the other. For what? If you lose primary in one party, stay there. In other clime, being a member of a political party is like been a member of a As a principle of life, it is preparation that determined performance. For example, MKO Abiola would have made a big difference because he had a prepared plan for

Nigeria. Unfortunately, his mandate was truncated he could not carried out what he has prepared.

Atiku have got a blueprint and a game plan which is going to work.

This is not a matter of trial and error leadership This is transformation. Servant, Prepared leadership.

Atiku Abubakar is the only Nigeria who has taken the time to invest and plan ahead of what he would do when given the privilege and opportunity to lead Nigeria. Nigeria cannot afford to throw away this rare opportunity. Atiku would have removed president Obasanjo after his first term, but he obey the voice of reason and allowed OBJ to continue. The man is not lusting for power. Why are foreign diplomat trooping to Atiku house today? It’s because their political desks have done the political analysis of Nigeria post-Buhari and they know Atiku is the man that will win the next election. And let me use this opportunity to appeal to our youth it is those who want to keep us in perpetual bondage who are tagging an albatross of corruption on the neck of Atiku. I’m from Ondo State. I hate injustice. I will not believe the lies until someone can prove it to me that Abubakar Atiku is corrupt. It’s all borne out of jealousy. Atiku worked for his money.

He does not need to deep his fingers into the public till. One more thing, Atiku knows how to assemble talents. You should expect the best ministers within one week of his sworn in. Using this opportunity to appeal to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and all Nigeria, let’s work together for the progress of this nation. With Atiku, our great nation will move forward.

OSUN POLITICS: Need For Balance Of Power Between Christians And Muslims

O Adebayo Oladeji

sun state was formed on 27 August, 1991 when it was created from old Oyo State.

Like every other state in Nigeria, it has three senatorial districts namely, Osun central, Osun East (Ife/Ijesha area) and OsunWest.

Osun Central has the following Local Government Councils; Boripe, Bolowaduro, Ifelodun, Ila, Ifedayo, Irepodun, Orolu, Odootin, Olorunda, Osogbo, Osun East, Atakunmosa East, Atakunmosa West, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ife South, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Obokun, Oriade, Osun West, Ayadaade, Ayedire, Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore, Ejigbo, Irewole, Isokan, Iwo, Ola-Oluwa.

Aside the military administrators who are non-indigenes, the state has been ruled by Alhaji Isiaka Adeleke (Muslim) (January 1992 – November 1993) under the platform of SDP (now defunct) for one year, 11 months; Chief Bisi Akande (Muslim) 29 May, 1999 – 29 May, 2003 (AD). He ruled for four years; Prince Olagunsoye Oyin-

lola (Christian) 9 May, 2003 – 26 November, 2010 (PDP) governed for 5 years and six months and Alhaji Raufu Aregbesola (Muslim) 26 November, 2010 to date (APC).

He will rule for 8 years.

By implication, a Christian has ruled for five and a half years while three Muslims have ruled for 13 years and 11 months.

Of all the four elected governors, Osun West has only ruled for just one year and 11 months when the late politician, Adeleke was in power during the military diarchy, Osun central ruled for 9 years and six months through Akande, Oyinlola while the incumbent, Aregbesola who hails from Osun East is about to complete two terms which no one had ever has and this means the zone would have been in power for eight years.

This is why some prominent voices, which include but not limited to two former governors, Bisi Akande and Oyinlola are insisting that it is the turn of Osun West. There is no justifiable reasons why the next governor should come from either Osun

Central or Osun East. In the interest of justice, equity and fair play, Osun West should produce the next governor unless if the kingmakers are daring the people of the zone to do their worst.

And again, it is for the same reason Aregbesola’ successor should be a Christian. As stated earlier, before Oyinlola, a Christian, came two Muslims (Adeleke and Akande). And after Oyinlola came Aregbesola a Muslim whose victory at the court denied the state of eight years rule of a Christian governor.

Although Christians have not been agitating for their right to preside over the affairs of the state for some reasons, but the policies of the outgoing governor whose era has brought the religious dichotomy to the fore has rudely woken up Christians from their unholy slumber.

The state belongs to all the indigenes irrespective of their religious and political persuasions.

And for all of them to be involved in the development of the state, there must be fairness, equity and justice.

I challenge the leaders of

thoughts in the Osun West to demand for the right of the zone to produce the next governor and if they are ignored, let them mobilise their people to vote for any party that picks its candidate from the zone after all no party is from outside the country. In the same vein, the time has come for Christian leaders in the whole state nay Southwest to demand for their right to have one of them as the next governor and if the mainstream parties, APC and PDP said NO, let them mobilise their members to vote for any party that picks a Christian as its governorship candidate. After all politicians themselves mobilise protest vote against their parties when their interest is ignored.

Christians in Osun state should take a cue from their counterparts in Lagos who protested and got a Christian governor. Without that effort, nobody would have heard of Ambode as the Governor. Nobody lives in fool’s paradise again.

A word is enough for the wise.

The sexploiter and his cousins

Conversation

with AZU ISHIEKWENE

A ‘

Let’s stop making excuses and deal with this evil for what it is. And the first step would be for OAU and other higher schools to have whistleblower policy.

’

feez Baruwa could be on his last mile to jail. Or he could be going home a free man.

Three years ago, the former lecturer in the department of Accounting at the University of Lagos cornered an 18-year-old girl.

The girl’s father, a friend of Baruwa’s, had sent her to the lecturer for help to gain admission. Baruwa apparently had other plans: he allegedly seized the poor girl, overpowered her and raped her in his office.

The case has been in court for nearly three years and came up again on Wednesday. The state has closed its case; and Justice Josephine Oyefeso of the Ikeja High Court will decide, perhaps on June 14 or later, whether Baruwa goes to jail or walks home a free man.

Baruwa has many cousins in sexploitation, the campus variety of which is the non-academic business of trading sex for grades, or generally extorting sex even from female students unwilling to engage in such tradeoff. One of Baruwa’s cousins, Professor Richard Akindele, has been in the news lately.

The professor of Accounting at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU), has been dragged out in a sad and sensational audio recording in which he was bargaining for multiple rounds of sex to upgrade a failed student. He offered to give the student who scored 33 percent at least an “E”, if she would sleep with him five times.

The matter is not in court yet, but the outcome of Baruwa’s court case might send a signal to campuses nationwide that this sexpidemic cannot continue receiving soft treatment.

For a while after the allegations of sexual harassment against Akindele went viral, the authorities at OAU were behaving as if they needed a voodoo priest to explain the gravity of the allegations.

The school called a press conference to address the issue, cancelled it hours before it was due to hold, and later issued a statement about investigations.

It has taken nearly two weeks and a wringer for the school to find the section of its own code of conduct that says that when a prima facie case has been established, “the ViceChancellor shall suspend such staff from office pending the final determination of the case.”

Not unexpectedly, the school has

come under pressure from highly placed religious people, who worked the hotlines at the highest levels, pleading that, “it was the work of the devil.”

For all you know, Akindele may have returned to the classroom from his sabbatical or extended leave of sorts, with version 2.0 of Accounting 101 modified to include offline tutorials on how many rounds of sex equals the lowest pass mark.

It’s not funny.

Grapevine sources have hinted that the major problem of the investigating panel was also compounded by the reluctance of the accuser to come forward.

Some even said the incident occurred earlier, that the victim has graduated and is afraid that the Senate might withdraw her degree if she comes forward, since her testimony would be proof that she obtained her degree fraudulently. And wait for this – that the victim’s boyfriend had been using the audio recording to extort money from Akindele who got fed up and asked the victim and her boyfriend to go to hell.

That hardly makes sense. If the victim slept with the lecturer early on, passed the course and left the school, she’ll be a fool in a hand basket to go public. The probable reason why she has gone public is that she’s trapped in the school and hopes that this desperate step might save her.

Farfetched excuses about her motive are apparently being invented by people who are taking advantage of the lukewarm attitude of the University towards the matter, even when the call log of the accused drips with his own testosterone.

The University appears to be more interested in protecting its reputation than in rooting out any nest of sexual predators in the system.

Besides, there may be many more undiscovered culprits of such sexual predation in the University with a guilty conscience. And it would be hard for them to cooperate in punishing one of them who only happens to have been foolish to have been found out, as they might see it.

Instead of behaving like an old

Boy’s Club, OAU should keep in mind that it also has a fiduciary duty to protect its staff and students. It can and will be liable for any action that tends to suggest negligence or a cover up in a case where the campus has become a predator’s playground.

An audio recording similar to the one in OAU went viral two years ago when Muhammed Idiagbon, then the head of department of English at the University of Ilorin, demanded sex in his office from a 200-level student, whom he repeatedly accused of being “unserious,” adding intermittently that, “you’re not the only one.”

When Idiagbon was found out, he accused his “envious colleagues” of setting him up only to resign his appointment before the school finished investigations in the matter.

Even though the school promised at the time that it would complete the investigation and make its findings public, the matter was swept under the carpet after Idiagbon’s resignation.

We can almost hear that same echo in OAU, echo of the authorities just wanting to close this chapter and move on.

It’s a matter for regret that neither the students’ union of OAU nor the academic staff union of the university has said a word since the Akindele scandal broke.

Two years ago, when the National Assembly was debating the Sexual Harassment Bill, ASUU opposed it vigorously, saying that it would infringe on the autonomy of universities. The union insisted that the code of conduct in each university was perfectly capable of dealing with matters of sexual misconduct.

Well, there’s no Nigerian university website that I know of – and I checked OAU, University of Ibadan, University of Lagos, University of Benin, University of Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello University and Ado Bayero University – that has any resource on sexual assault on its website. Not a word.

In fact, the OAU website, which comes closest doing this, only defines misconduct in general terms,

focusing largely on its impact; not on the individual, but on the reputation of the university. It is silent on predatory sex, one of the perennial scourges of higher schools.

It’s fair to say that if laws or codes alone were sufficient to curb sexual exploitation, members of the National Assembly will not be snatching female children from the cradle in forced marriages. And videos of senators in twosome orgies during recess will not be two-for-a-kobo.

The real problem is that when outrages like OAU and others happen, we shout, complain and just slink off, with hardly enough courage or stamina to stand up long enough for what we know is right, until the next horror story.

If students in OAU insist that justice must be done and must be seen to be done; if rights groups step up to offer the victim protection and insist that the school will be taken to court if the matter is not satisfactorily treated; if independent education watchdogs have credible public advisory, which includes resources for tackling sexual predation and safety in general, perhaps we would not be where we are now.

It’s been said that female students sometimes set themselves up for – even invite – predators by their lifestyles. That may be true, but lecturers, who believe, like Oscar Wilde, that the only way to overcome temptation is to yield, have no place in the Ivory Tower.

The body of evidence, so far, including a 2015 study on sexual assault by Harvard University among 26 universities in the US, shows that perpetrators of sexual misconduct are largely male faculty members, confirming existing data that one woman in five is usually assaulted while in college.

Let’s stop making excuses and deal with this evil for what it is. And the first step would be for OAU and other higher schools to have whistleblower policy.

I’ve not stolen a dime from Imo coffers –Okorocha

By Val Okara, Owerri.

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Thursday said that he had not stolen a saying that government money is “Cursed money.”

Okorocha who said this in Owerri, the state capital while interacting with newsmen, also stated that he had no property outside the country including foreign bank accounts.

He therefore, challenged anybody with evidence that he owned a single property or foreign bank

accounts anywhere in the world to come forward with such evidence.

He reiterated that the property he owned in London and the United States of America (USA) were acquired before he became the governor of Imo State in 2011.

Describing his deputy, Prince Eze Madumere as an ingrate having served him for 25years and now pitched tent against him was most unfortunate.

Monarchs more relevant to problem-solving than politicians -Don An Associate Professor of Political Science, at the University of Lagos, Dr. Derin Ologbenla, on Thursday said traditional rulers in Nigeria were currently more relevant to problemsolving in the country than politicians.

Ologbenla, said “going by the various challenges confronting the country

today, one can conclude that our traditional institutions in problem-solving than those charged with political decision-making.

“The need for our traditional rulers to step into sustaining Nigeria’s unity has become very obvious at this point when threats to her unity are deepening.

“Our nation-building

problems have so much of ethnic and religious undertone.

“It is expedient that the political leadership of this nation turns more to the traditional institution which encapsulates both ethnic and religious content for resolution of problems,’’ he said.

Ologbenla urged traditional rulers in Nigeria

to make themselves accessible to political leaders in order to provide advice at all times.

The political scientist said that Nigeria’s traditional institutions had garnered enough competence to address cultural, spiritual, religious, traditional and political issues bedevilling the country.

He said that traditional

rulers had always been involved in every sphere of social relations with the three tiers of government.

“The traditional institution has once constituted a national legislative body; there was a time government planned a constitutional role for them. Our monarchs have always been an intricate part of local governance.

Speaking further Okorocha said, “My deputy (Madumere) did not contest any election, I only picked him as my deputy but he stabbed me in the back.

Okorocha who also described his other brother in-law Chuks Ololo who is angling for his seat as a big joker saying “I don’t know what he is doing and I will never support him, he cannot make a good governor, Ololo will introduce hatred and dichotomy into the state governance”.

Army inaugurates e-NAPS for ease in payment of salaries, allowances

By Joy Anyim

represented by General

In furtherance of the commitment of the (COAS), LieutenantGeneral Tukur Buratai to promote personnel welfare, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army on Thursday updated and inaugurated the Electronic Nigerian Army Pay System (e-NAPS).

Inaugurating the e-NAPS at the 81 Mess in Victoria Island, Lagos, the COAS noted that the payment system is primarily meant to ease the timely payment soldiers.

Buratai

He said, “It would be recalled that the e-NAPS database update for the Nigerian Army was COAS First Quarter Conference in Abuja where all the Divisions were charged to ensure smooth conduct of the exercise. “ The Nigerian Army Biometric Enrolment Exercise (NABEE) provides Nigerian Army personnel data for Electronic Nigerian Army Pay System (e-NAPS) for

the administration of pay and allowances. “ The e-NAPS have greatly enhanced salary administration in the Nigerian Army by providing adequate, timing and accurate information for payment administration.

“Furthermore, the e-NAPS has facilitated planning, budgeting and personnel management in the Nigerian Army as it is on-line, real time. “ The Nigerian Army Finance Corps has continued to strive to maintain robust biometric database for the e-NAPS and to safeguard its integrity.

Safeguarding the integrity of the database

Buratai maintained that the e-NAPS could time than now.

He also disclosed that the e-NAPS has laid the foundation for the Army to migrate to the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) in the nearest future.

He said the forceful grouping of communities with diverse culture and religion by colonial masters in Africa.

“Many homes have torn apart because converts of Christian Pentecostal group that neither listen to their parents nor elders in the community.

“Because of western civilization some Africans now see everything about the African traditional religion and culture as fetish and evil.

“As a result of this imposition of this western culture and religion in the name of civilization there between

He urged Africans to go back to the drawn board and think of original tradition from their ancestors they would beget as legacy to younger generation and not copied and innovated culture from western world.

Its legacy of disrespect for traditional African religion and culture by colonial masters encouraged corruption and immorality.

“Must Africa continue to imitate the western world, when Africa will be original so that one day the white people will imitate us, “he said.

The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has condemned the invasion of the Senate on Wednesday by suspected thugs, describing the act democracy.

Recall that supporters of suspended Senator Ovie Omo- Agege (APC Delta Central) caused some moments of pandemonium at the Senate on Wednesday as they stormed the hallowed chamber in a commando manner, carting away the mace, the Senate’s symbol of authority.

In a statement on Thursday in Lagos signed

“The world class contribution of Achebe in the global knowledge scheme and his giant strides motivated a memorial lecture in his honour, being a “The faculty of arts by this its resolve to keep alive the memory of the literary giant of our generation whose name and contributions have become global phenomena.

“Achebe as the colossus of our time will continue to live in our hearts and minds,” he said.

Court doubts Metuh’s claim of ill health The Federal High Court, Abuja, has expressed doubts as to whether the claim of ill health by former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party is true.

The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, said on Thursday while delivering a ruling on an application seeking the release of Metuh’s international passport to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment.

Abang said: “I am wondering, if the defendant is really sick as he claims, why did he not appeal the two earlier decisions of the court that refused to release his international passport.

“I doubt that he is really ill as he wants the court to believe, if he is, he should have appealed the decisions of the court at the Court of Appeal.”

The judge wondered why Metuh appealed decisions of the trial court that had nothing to do with his health but refused to appeal those that dealt directly with his health.

Abang held that it seemed there was a hidden agenda

by Metuh to present the the same application before the trial court a third time rather than going on appeal.

He said that he agreed with the arguments of the application for a third time

was an unpardonable and reckless abuse of judicial processes.

The judge maintained that the defendants ought to know that where a trial could not be brought before it again under any guise.

He further said that since the prosecution closed its case in 2016, the defendant, rather than defending his case, had taken several steps to frustrate the trial.

The judge said that he could not sit on appeal over his own judgment having already refused an application for the release of Metuh’s passport twice.

He added that contrary to the claim by Metuh’s counsel, Onyeachi Ikpeazu,

(SAN), there were no new facts in the current application as the facts in it were the same as those in the last two applications.

Abang said: “The issues raised in this application have already been determined in the two previous rulings on the in this application.”

He held that on account of Metuh’s conduct since the prosecution closed its case, he could not order the release of his passport and that he lacked jurisdiction to decided it before.

He therefore dismissed the application for lacking in merit and adjourned the

continuation of trial.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Metuh on March 14, for the third time, asked the court to release his international passport to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment.

One of his counsel, Emeka Etiaba (SAN), told the court that his client did not appeal the two previous applications which were refused by the court but added that this was a new Etiaba had told the court that the new application was premised on the grounds that Metuh had lost sensation in his legs adding that this never happened before.

Senate invasion: Enugu Assembly wants security overhaul in NASS

By Moses Oyediran, Enugu Members of the Enugu State House of Assembly Thursday rose with one voice and condemned in its entirety, the invasion of the Senate chambers Wednesday by thugs and hoodlums who took away the mace which is the symbol of authority of Nigeria’s upper legislative assembly.

In condemning the dastardly act and the unfortunate incident, the House expressed serious view that the security heads, the service chiefs, should be changed because of lax in security, not only in the Senate but the entire nation.

The legislators who were reacting to a motion of public importance brought before the House by the member representing Ezeaugu Constituency, Hon. Chima Obieze, supported by four other members, urging the House to pass a resolution condemning the act, they called on other houses of assembly in Nigeria to follow suit and condemn the act which was viewed as a slap on democracy.

The Speaker of the House, Hon. Edward Ubosi while thanking his colleagues for their contribution to the motion, said that what happened was a big disgrace to the nation and called on Mr. President to

chiefs who he passed vote of “I want to thank my colleagues for their contributions.

What happened is a disgrace to the nation. As far as I am concerned, the security heads are not performing.

The president should try some other people,” he averred and lamented that democracy seemed to be at variance with anarchy.

“There is a serious war between democracy and anarchy in the land,” he said.

Ubosi expressed fears that as things stand in Nigeria, using votes to change a government might not be possible because

insecurity is capable of jeopardizing democracy.

Mover of the motion, Hon. Obieze, while presenting the motion, had expressed similar fears that if what is happening now is not roundly condemned by all, Nigeria might be heading for the rocks disintegration.

“Mr. Speaker, the ship of the state called Nigeria is heading towards the rock and if we elected lawmakers as crusaders of for our dear country, then am afraid darker days may just be ahead of us,” he intimates.

Making her own contribution, Hon. Lydia Nkechi-Omeje Ogbu

representing Nsukka West, likened what happened at the Senate and what is happening in Nigeria to a war situation. She lamented that IDP camps are growing by the day.

“I am highly concerned about what happened yesterday. I am a woman and we women and there is trouble in the land.

We are at war. There is IDP is everywhere. People are killed in Taraba, Benue, Borno, etc.

“Since this government came to power, there has been lawlessness in the land. The service chiefs should not be concentrated in one section of the land,” she suggests.

Police recover 457 illegal arms in Kogi The Police in Kogi on Thursday said it had recovered over 457 prohibited arms from unauthorised persons across the 21 local government areas of the state.

Ali Janga, the Commissioner of Police in the state, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the arrest of an alleged gun runner and the recovery of fire arms in Lokoja.

Janga said the recovery was in compliance with the directive of the Inspector- General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris on the recovery of prohibited firearms, ammunitions and weapons across the country.

He said that the arms were recovered from suspected militias, bandits, vigilance groups, Neighbourhood watch and other groups and individuals.

Janga said the arms include: 21 AK 47 Rifles, 14 Pump-action gun; eight Double Barrels; 69 Single barrel, 166 Dane guns, 134 locally made pistols, 40 Pistols; one G3 and four Barretta pistols.

In a related development, the Police Command in Kogi said it had arrested a suspected gun-runner, Inusa Abdullahi, 25 and Ibrahim Achimugu, a vigilance group member with firearm.

Janga said Achimugu was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at Obajana.

He said Achimugu confessed to have bought the gun for N11, 000 from one Abdullahi of Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The police boss said Abdullahi claimed to have been in the “business” for over 10 years.

The commissioner of police said the state under his watch would never be a haven for criminals, stressing that those with criminal intent should either repent or relocate from the state.

Janga urged members of public to assist the police with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the criminals living among them.

He said: “I urge all lawabiding citizens of Kogi, who notice anyone in possession of any of the above mentioned firearms or a firearm manufacturer anywhere across the state, to promptly report such persons.”

President Buhari, while addressing the forum in Westminster on Wednesday, was quoted to have said “More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free”.

But reacting to the comment in a statement on reminded

the

that more than 20 young Nigerians lost their lives in 2014 in search of employment in Nigerian Immigration Service.

The APC chieftain who said that the country has the best brains in the world, added that Nigerian leaders have refused to create enabling environment for the young population to excel.

“If Nigerian youths are for greener pastures. Again, we have so many Nigerian young entrepreneurs who are doing well all over without support from the government.

“So I disagree with Mr. President on this particular comment. Nigerian youths best brains in entertainment industry, Sports, Medical, to they deserve an apology”.

While declaring his intention to contest the Chairman of the ruling APC in the forthcoming national President to support him as a young man so as to prove to the world that that Nigerian youths are not lazy.

Monarchs more relevant to problemsolving than politicians - Don An Associate Professor of Political Science, at the University of Lagos, Dr. Derin Ologbenla, on Thursday said traditional rulers in Nigeria were currently more relevant to problem-solving in the country than politicians.

Ologbenla, said “going by the various challenges confronting the country today, one can conclude that our traditional institutions in problem-solving than those charged with political “The need for our traditional rulers to step into sustaining Nigeria’s unity has become very obvious at this point when threats to her unity are deepening.

“Our nation-building problems have so much of ethnic and religious undertone.

“It is expedient that the political leadership of this nation turns more to the traditional institution which

encapsulates both ethnic and religious content for resolution of problems,’’ he said.

Ologbenla urged traditional rulers in Nigeria accessible to political leaders in order to provide advice at all times.

The political scientist said that Nigeria’s traditional institutions had garnered enough competence to address cultural, spiritual, religious, traditional and political issues bedevilling the country.

He said that traditional rulers had always been involved in every sphere of social relations with the three tiers of government.

“The traditional institution has once constituted a national legislative body; there was a time government planned a constitutional role for them.

Our monarchs have always been an intricate part of local governance.

Nigerian youths not lazy, must vote against Buhari – Fayose

By Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose has called on youths in Nigeria to show President Muhammadu Buhari that they were not lazy and uneducated by voting against him in 2019, saying; “it is painful that the President could describe youths in Nigeria that are daily struggling to make a living under a harsh economy as lazy people.”

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said; “Contrary to the morale-killing comment of the President, Nigerian youths are hardworking, intelligent and enterprising. Their future was mortgaged by past leaders like President Buhari, who had everything at their beck and call as youths.

I imagine the youths of today having half of the

opportunities available in the 50s and 60s.”

He said; “At 19, President Buhari left Secondary School to join the Army.

At age 21 (two years in the army), he was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Within his 24 years in the Army, the President was Governor of North Eastern State, Minister of Petroleum, Chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Head of State.

Where can our youths get such opportunity today?

“Under his watch as Minister of Petroleum, N2.8 billion went missing from the accounts of the NNPC in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom.

That N2.8 billion as at that time is like $2.8 billion (over N1) now and here is he insulting the youths whose existence his likes

mortgaged.”

While telling the President to stop demarketing Nigeria and its people in foreign lands, Governor Fayose reminded Nigerians how he Buhari) said in an interview with UK Telegraph in February 2016 that some Nigerians in the United Kingdom were disposed to criminality and should not be granted asylum there.

The governor, who insisted that the negative foundation the likes of

President Buhari laid for Nigeria has made life impossible for the youths, asked; “As Military Governor of the North Eastern State, what Buhari make in the lives of youths in the North?”

He described Buhari as an analogue President, saying; “There is no connection between him and the youths because I doubt if he can even use common android phone.

One can’t really blame

the President; he does not understand what is obtainable in the country anymore. That’s the reason he was still seeing West Germany and Deutschmark in 2015.”

Urging the youths to use their votes to send President Governor Fayose said; “I did say before now that of the youths that voted for President Buhari in 2015 never knew who they were voting for because they did not experience him (Buhari)

as a Military ruler. Most of them were those that were born the 80s and they did not witness Buhari’s clueless and draconian government.

“Now that our youths have seen President Buhari and he has top his up by going to London to insult them by calling them lazy and uneducated people, they should be prepared to vote against him next year and installed a President that will value and respect them.”

He said: “this is humiliating, the government has set up secret security agents that will bring the Excavators to book, they have destroyed government Reservation area lands, including farmlands of their host communities maintaining that the police had been ordered to arrest any of the Excavators in the areas.

It was gathered that abandoned their trucks, work tools, and jumped into the thick forest where they reportedly hid themselves for fear of an arrest.

But one of the Excavators, Benjamine Okowe told Daily Post that: “we are involved in the excavation because of no job, we are doing it to eke a living for ourselves, our families, and government is pursuing us here and there, what are we going to be doing”.

Further investigation revealed that the Excavators had destroyed virtually all the economic lands of their host communities; a situation described by the Commissioner as absurdity and havoc especially to the government owned land, adding: “these Excavator lands, we will bring all of them to book unless they vacate the scene”.

Surveyors institute chairman seeks development in sports A fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS) and Chairman, Macpotec Nigeria Limited, Surveyor (Dr.) Segun Osifeso, has called for the concerted towards the search for a sustainable growth and policies in the nation’s sports sector.

Osifeso made this remark on Wednesday during the opening ceremony of the second edition of the annual Ota Police Area Command football championship, held at the Nigerian Distilleries Limited, Ota, Ogun State sports ground.

The Macpotec boss, who doubled as the special guest of honour and representative of former President Olusegun

Obasanjo, described sport as a major unifying factor in Nigeria and appealed to Nigerians to join hands with the Government in the task of implementing programmes and policies aimed at grassroots sports development.

He, however, noted that sport was not only promoting ideals crucial for peaceful and locallydriven development, but also a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and networks and therefore charged the Government to do everything to encourage the nation’s sports men and women, as well as evolve policies that would discover new sports talents in the country.

Osifeso further counselled the Government to create the much needed

enabling environment for sports growth and also give necessary support to organisations and individuals with genuine interest geared towards the development of the nation through the instrumentality of sports.

The fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors, who stressed that sport enhances people’s unity, togetherness and cohesion, commended the Ota Police Area Command for investing in the men Police with the annual football championship.

He, however, expressed optimism that at the end of the competition, the purposes of which were to, among other things, improve the skills of men

Command, promote good relations and mutual understanding between the Police and members of the various communities under the jurisdiction of the Area Command and also to discover new sports talents for future national and international tournaments, would have been realised.

The Macpotec boss equally acknowledged both the Ogun State Government’s ongoing MKO Abiola and Muda Lawal stadia in Abeokuta to international standards and its aggressive sports which were aimed at discovering and nurturing new talents in athletics, table tennis, football and other sports.

‘African leaders more constrained by democratic rules than you think’

By Nic Cheeseman Africa is often imagined to be a place in which presidents can do whatever they want, unencumbered by constitutional or democratic constraints. A large body of literature has developed around the idea that the law can be situation in which what really president, not the rules of the game.

The implications of this way of understanding the continent are profound not just for how we think about Africa, but also for how we study it. If democratic institutions don’t constrain leaders, there is no point in researching them.

Instead we should spend all of our time looking at informal processes such as ethnicity and patrimonialism.

But, although this image is often repeated within policy circles and the media, it is wrong. A new book I edited, Democracy and Institutions in Africa, argues that approaching the continent in this way creates a deeply misleading picture of politics that underestimates the potential for democratisation.

In other words, if we want to understand democracy in Africa, of the game more seriously.

The book covers a wide range of institutions, including political parties, legislatures, constitutions and judiciaries. As a taster, here are three important ways in which democratic rules constrain African leaders more than you might think.

Holding elections promotes democracy.

It’s often said that Africa features elections without change.

But repeatedly holding elections not only creates opportunities for the opposition to compete for power. It also promotes democratic consolidation.

Looking at all elections held in Africa since the early 1990s, as long as a minimum threshold of quality is met, holding elections increases the quality of civil liberties. This in turn creates greater opportunities for opposition parties to mobilise.

That’s because elections have a

African leaders at a summit These include training voters in democratic arts, encouraging coordination between opposition parties and increasing the pressure on ruling parties to reform the political process. This last happens for example by allowing for a more independent electoral commission.

also beginning to play a role in some of the most important decisions. In both Nigeria and Zambia, it was the legislature

constitutionally mandated limits. for leaders to hold on to powerin the long-run.

Legislatures are tougher to manage than before The common depiction of African legislatures is that they are weak and feeble. They’re portrayed as “rubber stamp” hold governments to account. But this is not an accurate depiction of what happens in a number of parliaments and presidents is becoming a more common.

As Michaela Collord highlights, in recent years the Ugandan legislature has threatened a government shutdown over an unsatisfactory health budget.

Tanzania’s parliament has also South African MPs from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters party captivated

Term-limits are starting to bite On the theme of term limits, will read about this particular institution in the media is when an African leader has changed the constitution to remove them. In the last 20 years this has happened in a number of countries including Burundi, Chad, Uganda and Rwanda.

By contrast, when a president respects term limits and stands down, it goes largely unnoticed.

This has created the misleading impression that African leaders can break the rules at will. The reality is that in most cases they can’t.

Reviewing every country in Africa from 1990 to the present, Daniel Young and Daniel Posner likely to be respected as broken.

The shape of things to come These examples are part of a civilian Nigerian president lost power to another civilian ruler for thing happened in Ghana. In 2017, it was Gambia’s turn. Since then, Liberia and Sierra Leonehave also seen opposition victories.

From a few isolated examples in the early 1990s, almost half of the continent has now witnessed a transfer of power.

Moreover, it is not only when it comes to elections that things are changing. In 2017 Kenyan – and only the third in the world judiciary.

In South Africa, President Jacob Zuma never lost a national election and the African

National Congress continues to dominate parliament. But he was nonetheless forced to resign and leave power early by a combination of public hostility and the emergence of Cyril Ramaphosa as the party’s new leader.

Of course, this does not mean that all presidents have to follow the rules, or that all of these institutions are starting to perform well. The continent features a remarkable variety of political systems and some of its states are on very different political trajectories. In more authoritarian contexts such as Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, the quality of elections remains extremely poor; even when leaders suffer a setback they may be able to bounce back.

But while the process of institutionalisation may be patchy and uneven, one thing is clear: Africa is not without institutions, and we will deeply misunderstand its politics unless we pay careful attention to the rules of the game.

Buhari secures $15bn deal with Shell in UK Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has said his visit to the United Kingdom would attract an investment worth $15 billion to Nigeria.

Buhari met with the top management of Shell on Wednesday as part of talks he said were to secure a $15 billion of investment into the country.

“I saw Shell Group, they came here, they saw me, they are preparing to invest $15 billion in Nigeria… so really, we

Ïd ƕ Mƈ ƆƏƈ Ɛ Ɨ ƈ Ɛ Ƅ ƗƋƕ are not doing too badly,” Buhari said to applause at the Commonwealth Business Forum in London on Wednesday.

He was speaking as part of a panel on the ease of doing business between Commonwealth countries.

Shell confirmed to CNBC that the meeting had taken place, but did not comment on the size of the specific investment.

But a spokesperson said in a statement: “Nigeria is an im-

portant country for Shell. We see good opportunities there for potential investment,” referencing its Bonga offshore oil field and the expansion of liquefied natural gas as examples of this. “Both projects are subject to a future final investment decision and we continue to work with our partners and the government towards that in each case.”

Shell’s statement added: “The potential investments feature as options in our long-

term plans and would fit within our capital spending range of $25 to $30 billion per year if we decide to go ahead with them.”

Oil price volatility has hit Nigeria’s economy; the largest on the African continent hard.

In 2016, the country suffered its first full-year recession in 25 years. Economic growth remains sluggish, expected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to be 2.1 percent for 2018, well below the emerging market average of 4.9 percent.

Oil accounts for approximately 35 percent of nation’s gross domestic product, according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which Nigeria is a member.

Buhari referenced that, as of October, Nigeria had risen 24 places in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking to 145th out of a total of 190 economies.

“We acknowledge that much more is to be done,” he said.

“We are now in the next stage, this is work in progress.”

EIB, AfDB to support DBN’s private sector investment with $70m Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) have agreed to support the new Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) to strengthen lending for business and agriculture investment in the country.

Senior Special Adviser to the Minister of Fiance on Media and Communications, Oluyinka Akintund disclosed this on Thursday.

He said that the EIB has finalized a US $20-million equity stake in the new financing institution, alongside US $50-million equity participation from the African Development Bank.

The Development Bank of Nigeria has been created by the Federal Government of Nigeria to address financing challenges hindering private sector investment in the country.

BudgIT decries Nigeria loss of N2.5bn yearly to gas flaring Adesola Afolabi BudgIT has advised the Nigerian government against the effects of gas flaring, which continues to contribute to irreversible environmental degradation, posing hazards to human health and loss of revenue in the country.

In a statement released in Lagos on Thursday, the firm said it observed some progress in the fight against routine gas flaring over the last 20 years, but analysis by its Extractives team revealed the volume of gas produced increased by 91.13% while the volume of gas flared reduced by only 38.06% be-

tween 2001 and 2016.

This implies that oil companies invested more money in gas production activities and are less concerned about sufficiently investing in technologies and infrastructure to control gas flaring.

Research revealed that Nigeria has a potential for the consumption of un-flared gas. BudgIT urges all stakeholders to commit towards putting in place the supply-framework, infrastructure and market systems necessary for unflared gas to reach its end users needs.

BudgIT therefore urges the government to explore existing technologies and strategies to reduce the amount of gas flared

into the atmosphere, though, some irresponsible oil companies are unwilling to make the investment necessary to deploy the right technologies and infrastructure in Nigeria.

Also, the guiding legal framework for deterring gas flaring must be reviewed to prevent companies from taking advantage of inherent loopholes. Quoting the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun: “In current documents that cover the gas flaring penalty, the penalty was drafted as a charge is tax deductible; so when international oil companies flare the gas, they pay the charge on which they get tax relief.”

BudgIT Team visited communi-

ties in the Niger Delta in April 2017 and observed several cases of gas flare near residential neighbourhoods, specifically Polaku and Ogu communities in Bayelsa and Rivers States respectively. The effects of gas flaring are not limited to deformity in children, lung damage, pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, blood disorders and a host of other fatal health conditions.

According to Oluseun Onigbinde, BudgIT’s Lead Partner, “BudgIT is calling on the Federal Government to muster the political will necessary to execute Nigeria’s gas master plan and to enforce regulations aimed at tangibly achieving Zero Routine Gas Flaring.

Nestlé unveils new breakfast cereal The Bemas Technologies Nigeria Limited has recently officially lunched one of its latest invention technologies called UNIVASA e- mobile Top- up platform into the competitive Nigerian market.

Nestlé Nigeria has introduced its new breakfast cereal, Golden Morn Puffs, which is made from grains and cereals and provides families with even more choices of tastier, healthier food.

Golden Morn Puffs is produced in Nigeria for Nigerians and is fortified with vitamins and iron to contribute to the efforts to address micronutrient deficiency in the country.

Micronutrient deficiency is the lack of essential vitamins and min-

erals required in small amounts by the body for proper growth and development.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), 2 billion people in the world are affected by iron deficiency, which is the most common micronutrient disorder in sub-Saharan Africa.

The major health consequences of deficiency in essential micronutrients include impaired physical and cognitive development, which translates to reduced performance of school-aged children among others. It is important to note that annually, Nigeria loses over US$1.5 billion in GDP directly and indirectly to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

At the product presentation to

media executives at a breakfast meeting with Nestlé Nigeria, Mr. Aboubacar Coulibaly, Category Manager, Dairy, said that Nestle Golden Morn Puffs, a breakfast cereal made from maize, millet, oats and soya, is fortified with Grainsmart - a unique combination of vitamins and iron.

“Food fortification is a strategy that Nestlé has adopted to help address the burden of micro-nutrient deficiency. With 50% of our portfolio already fortified with micronutrients, the introduction of Golden Morn Puffs breakfast cereal is another step towards the fulfilment of our commitment to provide healthier, delicious food choices for all age groups, a journey we have been on for the past 57 years in Ni-

geria.”

Coulibaly went on to disclose that 94% of the grains and cereals used in the production of Golden Morn Puffs is sourced locally.

“We are very happy to announce that the work we have been doing with local farmers for the past 7 years on capacity building and grain quality improvement is yielding results. 94% of the agricultural raw materials for the product we are launching today, Golden Morn Puffs, was supplied by Nigerian farmers,” he added.

Nestlé Nigeria, accoding to him, continues to invest in the development of nutrient rich delicious food to fulfil its purpose, which is enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future.

funding gap in the micro-, small- and medium-scale enterprises space and help businesses unlock opportunities across Nigeria. DBN’s ambition is strengthened by the financial and technical support of international partners, including the European Investment Bank and African Development Bank. The new institution builds on international experience and uses a business model that has demonstrated proven success to enhance private-sector investment across Africa and around the world where other financing options are inadequate or absent,” said Tony Okpanachi, Managing Director of the Development Bank of Nigeria.

Install pre-paid meters, South-East electricity ‘Data of 87m Facebook users compromised by Cambridge Analytical’ consumers beg DISCOs

Charles Onyekwere, Abakaliki

Electricity consumers in the South-East have urged electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) to strive to install pre-paid meters to all consumers to check over-billing and estimated billing that causes disagreements.

The consumers made their feeling known yesterday in Enugu during a forum of the House of Representative Ad-Hoc Committee to Curb Excessive Electricity Charges being Levied on Consumers by Distribution Companies (DISCOs).

An electricity consumer from Awka, Anambra state Mrs Eunice Nwoye, said

that the estimated bill was not making artisans make profit since ``it is high and does not commensurate with the energy consumed’’. ``It is unbearable for a hair saloon dresser to pay as much as N5,000 when you hardly get uninterrupted supply each day. ``I believe if functional pre-paid meters are installed; it is definite you only pay for what you use,’’ Nwoye, who is a baker, said.

Another consumer from Ogbete area in Enugu, Mr Chidi Madu, complained about inconsistences in the estimated bills for his flat; adding ``My estimated bills had continued to increase from N6,000, to N8,000 and now N10,000’’.

Madu noted that only full

pre-paid meter compliance would ensure that Nigerians stop paying for what they did not consume.

However, some of the customers lauded the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) for the current expansion in their network They commended the EEDC for improved rate of servicing and revitalization on broke down and dysfunctional electricity installations and lines.

The Manager of Aqua Ralph Nigeria Limited, 9th Mile, Mr Joseph Olorutobi, lauded the EEDC for fixing electrical faults within record time.

Apart from the recent dispatch EEDC attend to electrical faults and break down;

it also finished the network expansion of lines with the 9thMile Corner axis within some days,’’ Olorutobi said.

He, however, appealed to the Transmission Company of Nigeria -TCN – to provide more electricity supply to zone especially as the population and industrial activities in Enugu had been expanding rapidly.

An artisan at Ogui Road in Enugu, Mr Chimezie Okechukwu, said that the recent installation of prepaid meters in their premises had reduced the cost of spending on electricity.

Okechukwu noted that the bill had continued to drop from N8,000 to N4,500 since they only use the electricity only during business hours.

Nigeria America Chamber of Commerce to build AGOA Export Park in Edo The Nigerian American Chamber of Commerce (NACC) has expressed readiness to partner the Edo State Government in the development of an export zone to explore opportunities in the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

This was disclosed by delegation of the Nigerian American Chamber of Commerce led by the chamber’s Vice Chairman, Alhaji Abayomi Adigun, on a courtesy visit at

the Government House in Benin City, Edo tate.

Alhaji Adigun said the chamber reached a decision to set-up the AGOA Park in Edo State to facilitate export of Nigerian products to the United States of America.

Adigun said the NACC will partner with the state to promote investment in tourism, sports and entertainment, adding, “NACC has the capacity to assist the state in training women and youths through

workshops and seminars which will focus on economic empowerment.”

Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki said the project will expand opportunities for industries as well as small and medium scale enterprises to be situated in the Benin Industrial Park complex.

He noted that the visit by the NACC was timely, as the state was committed to attracting investments that will exploit her abundant natural endowments

and engage the teeming youth population.

According to him, “The state’s institutional reforms would serve as enablers for sustainable industrial growth which would create prosperity for the people. We are ready to partner with NACC to explore opportunities offered by the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and promote the economic potentials of the state on the global stage.

Far more than 87 million people may have had their Facebook data compromised by Cambridge Analytica, according to evidence from former employee Brittany Kaiser.

Speaking to the Commons digital, culture, media and sport select committee, Kaiser said Cambridge Analytica had a suite of personality quizzes designed to extract personal data from the social network, of which Aleksandr Kogan’s This Is Your Digital Life app was just one example.

In evidence to the committee, Kaiser wrote: “The Kogan/GSR datasets and questionnaires were not the only Facebook-connected questionnaires and datasets which Cambridge Analytica used. I am aware in a general sense of a wide range of surveys which were done by CA or its partners, usually with a Facebook login – for example, the ‘sex compass’ quiz.

“I do not know the specifics of these surveys or how the data was acquired or processed. But I believe it is almost certain that the number of Facebook users whose data was compromised through routes similar to that used by Kogan is much greater than 87 million; and Bthat both Cambridge Analytica and other unconnected companies and campaigns were involved in these activities.”

Giving oral evidence on Tuesday, Kaiser said: “When I first joined the company, our creative and psychology teams, and data science teams, would work together to design some of these questionnaires.

“In my pitches I used to give examples, even to clients, that if youB go on Facebook and you see these viral personality quizzes, that not all of them would be designed by Cambridge Analytica, SCL group or our affiliates, but these applications were designed specifically to harvest data from individuals using Facebook as the tool.

“So I know, at least of those two examples, the music version and the sex compass, which were both quizzes that were separate from Aleksandr Kogan’s quiz. Therefore it can be inferred or implied that there were many additional indi-

viduals as opposed to just the ones through Aleksandr Kogan’s test whose may have been compromised.”

Facebook’s chief technology officer, Mike Schroepfer ,wrote in a blogpost earlier this month that as many as 87 million users may have had their data taken, higher than the previous estimate of 50 million.

Facebook told the Guardian: “We are currently investigating all apps that had access to large amounts of information before we changed our platform to dramatically reduce data access in 2014.

We will conduct a full audit of any app with suspicious activity. And if we find developers that misused personally identifiable information, we will ban them and tell everyone affected.”

Kaiser also said she had “specific concerns of legality” about the working practices of Leave.EU, the unofficial pro-Brexit campaign founded by the insurance magnate Arron Banks.

She described Banks explicitly asking her if there could be savings on the work Cambridge Analytica was carrying out if the company could process data from Leave.EU, Ukip and Banks’ insurance company Eldon together.

“We were never commissioned to do this work,” Kaiser said. “But I do believe that this work was carried out, just not by Cambridge Analytica.”

Kaiser also described attending the headquarters of Leave.EU to supervise the organisation’s data collection team in order to ensure that the information they received through their phone banking operation was useful for the data analysis. When there, she said, she was surprised to discover that the people staffing the phones were employees of Eldon Insurance.

“In regards to this proposal and work that I believe was undertaken, with or without us, there’s a few specific concerns of legality,” Kaiser said.

“Firstly it’s in relations to breaches of electoral law, for chargeable work, some of which I did which was never paid for, and unreported to the electoral commission.”

Capital Market B4 Sterling Bank launches new mobile app, I-Invest Sterling Bank Plc, Your onecustomer bank, has launched a new mobile banking application known as I-invest in a bid to encourage people to build a savings and investment culture.

The new application is supported on Android and IOS devices.

New Chief Marketing Officer of the bank, Mr. Dapo Martins said in a statement that the mobile application would provide customer with a secure, fast and convenient way to access investment opportunities hitherto reserved for the elite.

The new application will also provide customers access an array of treasury bill investments to enable them match their investment maturities with their needs.

Some of the advantages of the application include save time for the customer instead of chasing his account officer around or waiting in the bank. Also, any other bank customers can access the offerings through the application.

For a potential customer to register, he needs to have a BVN number, valid phone number, utility bill, valid means of identification such as driver’s license or national identity card or international passport.

The registration process takes less than five minutes to conclude but the potential customer needs to take a picture with his smart phone and upload it.

A customer can either fund his account with a debit card or pay at any branch of a bank and his account will be funded real time. Also, a customer can top up directly from his mobile banking platform.

If a customer wants to invest, he will select from the list of available securities, enter the amount to invest and confirm the transaction.

The minimum amount one can invest is N100 , 000. Interest accrues daily, while the investment amount and interest will be credited to the customer’s account on maturity.

Investors gain N36.8bn as Oando, Courteville, Eterna lead gainers Stories by Adesola Afolabi

The bulls had the upper hand at the equities segment of the Nigerian Stock Exchange on Thursday as lead market indicator- The All Share Index closed in the positive region.

Investors gained a total of N36.8 bn when market capitalization closed the day higher than previous session’s closing figure at N14.764 trillion The ASI added 0.25 per cent or 101.83 basis points to close at 40,874.09 points as Oando led 18 gainers against 24 declining stocks that were topped by First Aluminum.

With a negative market breadth of 18 gainers to 24 losers, demand for Oando shares led to a 6.08 per cent appreciation of the stock to close at N9.60 per share. Courteville Business So-

lutions emerged the second highest gainer for the day with an increase of 5 per cent in its shares to close at 21 kobo per share wile Eterna Plc added 4.82 per cent to close at N6.52 per share.

Conversely, top three losers for the day were First Aluminum that lost 7.55 per cent to close at 49 kobo per share. Mobil followed with a decrease of 4.74 per cent to close at N181 per share and FCMB added 4 per cent to close at N2.40 per share.

FCMB, Oando and Zenith Bank emerged the three most traded stocks for the day.

FCMB exchanged 204.1 million shares worth approximately N492 million, Oando traded 185.5 million shares worth N1.8bn and Zenith Bank accounted for 70.7 million shares, valued at N1.91 billion.

The total volume of shares traded for the day were 740.5 mil-

GTBank drives efficiency, grows other income by 305% Guaranty Trust Bank has released its 2018 first quarter results, declaring a profit after tax of N44.7bn. The profit represented a 7.7 per cent growth from N41.5 billion recorded in the same period of 2017.

Gross earnings grew by 4.6 per cent to N108.97bn while income tax expense dropped 10.8 per cent to N7.95bn. Net Assets however fell 14.4 per cent to N535.1bn from N625.2bn recorded one year ago.

An analysis of the released income statement showed that interest income that constitutes 74.12 per cent of total Gross Earnings dropped by 3.97 per cent from N84.1bn recorded in the first quarter of 2017, to

N80.8bn.

This depicts a significantly lower interest rate environment compared to last year. Specifically, interest earned on financial assets held for trading, loans and advances to customers, and available for sale financial instruments recorded significant year on year declines of 54.58 per cent, 7.68 per cent, and 1.91 per cent to NGN849.37 million, NGN48.65 billion and NGN22.06 billion respectively. These muted the 111.87per cent year on year surge in interest via bank loans and advances, which makes up a meagre 0.10 per cent (NGN84.17 million) of total interest income.

Interest expense increased 17.3 per cent driven by the 27.2 per cent increase in interest paid on customer deposits. This coupled with the decrease in interest income, caused a decline in net interest income by 9.74 per cent to NGN59.69 billion.

Stories By Motolani Oseni The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has disclosed that currency in circulation increased to N2 trillion in March, the highest so far in 2018.

The apex bank for last month, February said currency in circulation was at N1.94 trillion while in January, it opened at N1.945 trillion from N2.15 trillion in December 2017.

The reported N2.15 trillion by the apex bank was the highest naira in circulation reported in 2017.

The CBN’s economic report for fourth quarter of 2017 had disclosed that, “at N2.15 trillion, currency-in-circulation rose by 21.1 per cent, above the level in the third quarter of 2017. The development reflected the growth in currency outside banks.

“Total deposits at the CBN amounted to N13.17 trillion, indicating 7.5 per cent increase over the level at the end of the third quarter of 2017. The development was as a result of the rise in the deposits of banks, Federal Government and the “Others” in the review quarter.

“Of the total deposits at the CBN, the shares of the Federal Government, Banks and „ Others were N6,018.10 billion (45.7 per cent), N4,320.37 billion (32.8 per cent) and N2,834.02 billion (21.5 per cent), respectively.

“Growth in banks reserves at the CBN and currency-in-circulation accounted for the 16.5 per cent rise in Reserve Money (RM) to N6,477.6 billion at end-December 2017, compared with the level at end-September 2017.”

Currency in circulation between November and December 2017 was at N1.79 trillion and N1.89 trillion respectively, the CBN revealed on its website CBN disclosed that the currency in circulation, which is the physical money used for transactions between consumers and businesses, open this year at

Currency in circulation hits N2trn in March- CBN N1.99 trillion and closed in February at N1.97 trillion.

In a chat with our correspondent, Currency analysts at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ezun, had hinted that excess liquidity in the economy is due to Yuletide celebration that has leveraged growth in currency in circulation, stressing that Nigerians are finding it difficult to embrace the cash policy of the CBN. “The market is liquid and it is due to current season of the year.

We have seen a lot of Treasury Bills that have matured which the CBN has not rolled over.

Market is awash with liquidity coming from CBN suspension of Open Market Operation (OMO) and slow down in the foreign exchange sales.”

He explained further that Nigeria is still more of a cash economy, facing infrastructure challenges.

“Someone can blame infrastructure deficit to CBN’s good intention of making Nigeria a cashless society. The infrastructure that will make the cashless policy work is missing compared to what we have in Kenya.

The apex bank in 2002 intro-

duced the cashless policy to eliminate the amount of physical cash (coins and notes) circulating in the economy, and encouraging more electronicbased transactions (payments for goods, services, transfers, among others.)

CBN said N1.98 and trillion N1.97 trillion was in circulation in March and April respectively but dropped to N1.89 trillion in May as CBN’s mop up of liquidity in the system.

Human capital importation: There is need to fill human capacity gaps –PTDF Ladesope Ladelokun The Executive Secretary of Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Dr Bello Aliyu, has identified human capital importation as a direct consequence of lack of parity between national education and training interventions and the skills and competency requirements of the local oil and gas industry.

The Executive Secretary said in a statement issued by the

Head, Press and External Affairs, Mr. Kalu Otisi, recently in Abuja that, “Interventions in research, development and human capital run into billions of dollars annually from all players, but these interventions are undertaken by each player in accordance with its determination and needs.

“There is largely no co-ordinated approach to the development of these capacities or indeed even the education aspects of the capacity.

“There is hardly any acceptable data base of the skills or a hand book of the educational development requirements to fill identified human capacity gaps.

“While government agencies in the oil and gas, education and national planning sectors are all engaged in different aspects of determining education and skills requirements, private players in the industry are also doing the same to the extent of their needs and operational re-

quirements’’, he said.

Gusau, however, has called for the creation of a single national platform for the co-ordination of all collaborative activities in human capital development in the oil and Gas sector.

He opined that the creation of single platform would lead to the provision of the skilled human capital resource requirement of the Nigeria oil and gas industry and to the sustenance of local contentb through quality education and training.

NIMASA: World Maritime Varsity, key to strategic reforms, human capacity development –Dakuku The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside has said the World Maritime University (WMU) was an important element of the strategic reforms and repositioning of NIMASA. He made this known when NIMASA and WMU signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently to develop human capacity for the industry.

Dakuku said the partnership was part of the reforms President Buhari and the Minister of Transportation

have tirelessly campaigned for, expressing optimism that the MoU would help NIMASA realise its strategic plans to re-position the country’s maritime sector.

“WMU is an important element of the strategic reforms and repositioning of NIMASA to be the leading maritime administration in Africa.

“This is also part of ongoing reforms of the maritime sector in Nigeria which the President of Nigeria and Minister of Transportation are championing. The partnership with WMU is in line with the four pillar of NIMASA’s medium term growth plan.

“Which addresses capacity building, particularly raising a new generation of forward looking Maritime policy makers and regulators,’’ Peterside said.

Peterside, however, expressed appreciation to the President and Management of WMU for their support, assuring that NIMASA would actively implement the provisions of the MoU. Meanwhile, the President of the WMU, Doumbia-Henry assured NIMASA of its implicit support for Nigeria’s economic growth.

“We are delighted with the engagement with NIMASA in

the framework of this MoU which will set the stage for a new partnership with Nigeria.

“We will also help support Nigeria’s economic growth and the competitiveness of its maritime industry as well as advance the maritime interest of the country. This MoU also supports WMU’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“Especially Goal four which focuses on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all, and Goal 14 which covers ocean issues, including maritime,’’ the president said

Barely six months after it was acquired from Jumia House, bToLet.com. ng, an online real estate company, has changed its name at a product launch organized by the company to PropertyPro. ng.

Speaking on the propriety of the name change, Chief Busines Officer and Co-founder of PropertyPro.ng, Mr. Sulaiman Balogun, said was consistent with company’s objective of improving the way property search is conducted, noting that the company’s brand ethos is anchored on credibility and trust.

His words: “ Our name change today allows us to emphasize our wide-ranging business objective around continually improving the way property search is conducted from the view of both real estate professionals and the general public, with the goal of increasing access and improving service delivery. ‘’The new name is effective immediately and will be implemented across the company’s product offerings. Our brand ethos has always been built on trust, credibility and industry knowledge – that’s what kept our business growing successfully over the last 5 years, and the PropertyPro brand promises to deliver on this same terms.”

According to Oladapo Eludire, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, real estate agents and property developers who list on PropertyPro. ng will now have their listings displayed in the best manner yet.

Things you didn’t know about Africa’s economy Africa is to add millions more to its labour force between 2010 and 2020, which should set the stage for dynamic growth. But capturing this potential will mean a change in development strategy Africa is booming Africa has been the second-fastestgrowing region in the world over the past 10 years, with average annual growth of 5.1 per cent over the past decade, driven by greater political stability and economic reforms that have unleashed the private sector in many countries.

Poverty is also on the retreat. A new consuming class has taken its place: since 2000, 31 million African households have joined the world’s consuming class. At the point when household incomes exceed $5,000, measured at purchasing power parity, consumers begin to direct more than half their income to things other than food and shelter. The continent now

to reach 128 million by 2020.

Indeed, contrary to conventional wisdom, the majority of Africa’s growth has come from domestic spending and non-commodity sectors, rather than the resources boom.

Africa is poised to have the largest labour force in the world By 2035, Africa’s labour force will be bigger than that of any individual the continent a chance to reap a demographic dividend, using its young and growing workers to boost economic growth.

As Africa’s workforce grows, the number of children and retired people that each worker supports will fall to be par with the US and Europe in 2035, the other part of the demographic dividend.

With fewer dependents to support, African households will begin to enjoy even greater discretionary spending power, further driving growth.

than ever before Today 40 per cent of Africans have some secondary or tertiary education.

By 2020, it will be nearly half. But African countries still need further progress to remain economically competitive. While 33 per cent of Africans in the labour force receive secondary education, 39 per cent of workers in India and 66 per cent in China receive education at this level.

African workers are better educated than ever before: forty per cent of Africans have some secondary or tertiary education

Africa But here’s the bad news: only 28 per cent of Africans have stable, wage-paying demographics and advancements in education, Africa needs to quickly create more jobs. Although it has created 37 million stable, wage-paying jobs over the past decade, 91 million people have been added to its labour force.

As a result, 9 per cent of the workforce thirds of workers sustain themselves through subsistence activities and low-wage self-employment. Youth unemployment is also a major challenge.

In Egypt, youth unemployment is 25 per cent. For the sake of social and political stability, Africa needs to accelerate its creation of stable jobs that are the route to lasting prosperity and an expanding consuming class.

With a few reforms, massive job growth is within Africa’s reach The experience of other emerging economies shows that Africa could accelerate its creation of stable jobs dramatically. When they were at a similar stage of development as Africa today, Thailand, South Korea and Brazil generated jobs at double or triple the rate of Africa’s.

This would lift millions more Africans out of poverty and vault millions of others into the consuming class. It would also cut the time needed to reach East Asia’s percentage of stable employment by more than half, from over 50 years to just 20 years.

Africa’s most developed economies, such as South Africa, Morocco and Egypt, are on track to create more wagepaying jobs than new entrants to the workforce. Three sectors have a proven capacity to create jobs and can do so in

the future: agriculture, manufacturing, and retail and hospitality.

Africa can become the world’s bread basket Africa has about 60 per cent of the world’s unused cropland, providing it with a golden opportunity to simultaneously develop its agricultural sector and reduce unemployment. On current trends, African agriculture is on course to create 8 million wage-paying jobs between now and 2020.

With two important reforms, however, Africa could add 6 million more jobs.

First, policymakers could encourage expansion of large-scale commercial farming on to uncultivated land.

African countries need to reform land rights and water management, build up their infrastructure and improve and insurance to boost agriculture.
