Elections timetable takes new dimension in Senate Continued from page 1
Omo-Agege (APC, Delta) over comments he made considered as disparaging against the Senate. Senator Dino Melaye had moved a motion to challenge Omo-Agege on the remarks he made against the Senate, while the Senate latched unto the motion to institute a probe against Omo-Agege. Omo-Agege and nine other senators led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC, Nasarawa West) had on Wednesday last week addressed the media, voicing their displeasure to the position taken by the Senate on re-ordering of elections for 2019. At the briefing, OmoAgege said the re-ordered sequence of elections by the
Senate and by extension, the National Assembly was targeted against President Muhammadu Buhari. According to the new sequence of elections which continues to generate controversies across the political spectrum of Nigeria, the Presidential election is slated last after that of the National Assembly and governorship/state assembly elections. Omo-Agege said although he won his election in 2015 on the platform of Labour Party and not APC but as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it would be wrong for him to keep quiet when wrong things are being done. He said: “When this bill was passed in the House of Representatives, only 36 members were pres-
ent. This cannot stand in a House of 360 members. This amendment needs to be debated before it is passed. “We are supposed to determine if the decision of the House is in tandem with what the Senate passed. That was not done. We cannot stand and allow a law passed against Mr. President to stand”, he said. But Melaye, while presenting the motion, referred his colleagues to order 14 of the Senate standing rules, alluding to the alleged disparaging comment by Omo- Agege, requesting, however, that he should be made to face the Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions Committee to explain himself. He said: “After the adoption of new sequence of
elections in the Senate last week, Senator Omo- Agege has granted interviews to journalists alleging that the action was targeted against President Muhammadu Buhari. “I cannot be part of any group of persons. I swore on oath on the 9th of June 2015. If decisions in this Senate is now being teleguided and targeted at any particular person, then that is no longer democracy. That statement to me is weighty. “I personally campaigned and followed the President to 35 states of the federation. The only place I did not follow him to was Yobe where we did not even go throughout the campaign. When I was following Buhari to campaign to become the President of this country, Ovie Omo-Agege was la-

Nigeria’s foreign policy must respond to world challenges - Osinbajo Myke Uzendu, and Oluchi Okoroafor, Abuja
ÏÏÏ Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that Nigeria’s foreign policy must be in tandem with the evolving world and respond to challenges of the century. The Vice President gave the directive on Tuesday in his remarks during the 1st Annual Foreign Service Public Lecture with the Topic: “Reflections in Nigeria’s Foreign Policy, Diplomacy and Foreign Service” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Conference hall. Osinbajo said that the
Federal government will support the Foreign Affairs with all the necessary funds to ensure that it competes favourably in the international arena for favourable economic and policy bargain for the country. He said that Federal Government will continue to be guided by the foreign derivatives that will benefit the country and support the dignity of the African and Nigerian person across the globe. He stressed that Nigeria’s foreign policy must be consistent with international development and address challenges of security, cy-
ber crimes, cross boarder criminality and the challenges of foreign service in a modern era. According to him, the country must use nobel tools to address the new global challenges and explore it’s strength in sports, music, drama and movie to change the image of Nigeria which will in turn lead to capital inflow that will strengthen the Naira. These tools, he maintained, ought to be used to challenge government to be more proactive and change the negative narratives of the country. Osinbajo stressed that
the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) of the present administration is to open Nigeria to the globe and attract more investment to the country in energy, oil and gas, solid minerals, tourism and other sectors. In his reamrks, the Chairman of the lecture and former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon recanted that during the military era, foreign policy formulation was squarely on the hands of the Head of State and government, adding that he had to delegate the Continued on page 7
bouring in the Labour Party. “Today, to take the decision of the Senate, the integrity of the Senate put together, that it was tailored towards targeting a particular person, it is unheard of, and it is in bad taste. And I do not want to be part of that. “I want to add that this statement was made by Omo-Agege among other statements that the Committee on Ethics and Privileges need to investigate this matter and find out if truly our decision was made and targeted at Mr. President among other issues raised by him”. But when the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided, put Melaye’s prayer to voice votes, senators in support chorused overwhelmingly ‘ayes’ for adoption. The Deputy Senate President therefore directed the committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to invite the senator for explanations and report back within two weeks. Against this backdrop, Omo Agege faces suspension in the event that the Ethics and Privileges Committee headed by Senator Sam Anyanwu finds him guilty. Senator Ali Ndume (APC Borno South) had earlier been sanctioned by the Senate with a 6-month suspension in March last year after the Committee found him guilty on allegations he raised against the Senate President on importation of bulletproof cars. In a related development, the Senator representing Zamfara Central, Senator Kabiru Marafa, on Tuesday, indicated resolve to dump the the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if he was frustrated to that effect by officials of the APC in his state. Marafa has been having a running battle with the Zamfara State Governor Abdullaziz Yari, who he accused of negligence of duty, just as the ruling party in the state has been arrayed against him on his hard stance against the governor. Marafa said he would be willing to defect to the PDP if the opposition party offers him either governorship or senatorial ticket in the build up to 2019 elections. Marafa stated this on the
floor of the Senate while contributing to a motion sponsored by Senator Tijani Yahaya Kaura on the killings that took place in Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State. He drew the attention of the Senate to lackadaisical attitude of Governor Yari, to the recent killings in the state. Marafa also called for declaration of state of emergency for lack of security and vacuum created by what he described as the ineptitudeness of the state governor. He said he was not worried of whatever could be the consequence of his constructive criticism of the state governor and the actions of the state government, even if it would jeopardise his political ambition in the next dispensation. Marafa said he would not hesitate to jump into the ship of any party that shares his belief and can offer him a platform to realise his ambition should the APC deny him ticket for criticising the governor. The Senate noted that cross border banditry has brought Nigeria’s frail security system to the limelight having triggered an orgy of violence in Zamfara State which left 39 people dead in Zurmi LGA on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. It was noted that despite the notice and warnings to the law enforcement agencies on the impending attack by the state government 24 hours before the attack, no precaution was taken to avert the unfortunate event. The Senate was concerned that hundreds of lives have been lost to such attacks in the state over the last four years and worried that the latest attack has caused fears across the state, especially around rural communities who have had similar experiences in the past and are helpless. The Senate therefore urged the Federal Government to mount diplomatic pressure on Niger Republic and Chad to forestall criminals from using their territories to launch attack on Nigeria. It also urged the federal government to direct the Nigerian Air Force to use air surveillance to identify the location of the armed banditry within the sparse forest and flush them out.

Revealed: How EFCC filed criminal charge against CCT chair Continued from page 1 Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Yakubu Umar. The EFCC, under the leadership of former Chairman of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Lamorde, had in two separate letters to the Federal Government in 2015 and 2016, absolved Umar of any wrongdoing over an alleged N10 million bribery allegation leveled against him by Rasheed Taiwo Owolabi. Owolabi is currently standing trial at the CCT tribunal over alleged involvement in false assets declaration. Umar had been accused of receiving N1.8million through his Personal Assistant, Gambo Abdullahi for a favour to the petitioner (Owolabi) who is standing trial for a criminal offence before the tribunal. But the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), had on Monday sought a clarification in a letter to the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, asking him to explain the propriety of the fresh criminal charge against Umar in view of the two clearance letters from the commission. The AGF also asked Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), who
filed the corruption charge at an Abuja High Court Abuja against the CCT Chairman to explain who authorized him to file the charge. The Daily Times also gathered last night that Magu and Keyamo had replied the AGF and gave him necessary clarifications on the matter. Sources close to Magu and Keyamo also told The Daily Times on Tuesday that the duo could not disclose the contents of their letters on the grounds that the issues involved were private and confidential. But the Daily Times has stumbled on a ruling by an Abuja High Court in Apo which might have prompted the EFCC under Magu to file the criminal charge against Umar. Abdullahi Gambo, the personal assistant to Umar had made two statements in the course of investigation while the two statements were later tendered in court. The development led to trial- within- trial before Justice Rita Orji who is presiding over the matter. Gambo was said to have indicted his boss (Umar) in the first statement where he stated that Umar told him that somebody (Owolabi) was going to pay into his account and that he should bring the money to him later. But Gambo was said to have recanted few days later
and made another statement where he claimed that he was under duress and forced to indict his boss. He added that the money paid into his account was meant for the payment of hospital bill of his sick father. Delivering her ruling on the matter in January 2018, Justice Orji held that Gambo’s first statement was admissible in law on the grounds that it was voluntarily made by him. The judge further rejected the second statement where Gambo claimed that he was forced to make the first statement. The judge added that Gambo could not blow hot and cold at the same time. The new development was said to have prompted Magu to instruct Keyamo
to file the criminal charge against Umar since the ruling had changed the status of the two clearance letters while a prima facie case was said to have been established against Umar. The office of the AGF had in the letter dated February 16, 2018 with Reference No DPP/ADV:368/15 and signed by Mr. Dayo Apata, the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, asked Magu to make his response to the AGF on or before Tuesday. Magu was also asked to explain what informed the filing of corruption charges against the tribunal chairman, after the agency had twice cleared Umar of the corruption allegation.
The query titled “FRN VS Danladi Umar (CR/109/18) Request for Briefing,” reads in part, “The attention of the AGF was drawn to news report that the EFCC has filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court. “I am directed by the AGF to seek clarification from you as to whether the charges were filed on your instruction or directive and if in the affirmative, what is the compelling basis for doing so. This clarification becomes imperative in view of the following background facts. “The Commission’s investigation report dated 5th March 2015 addressed
to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation stated as follows: “The facts as they are now against Justice Umar raised a mere suspicion and will therefore not be sufficient to successfully prosecute for the defence. “The Commission’s position in paragraph 2(a) above was also maintained and sustained by the Attorney General of the Federation while appearing before the House of Representatives’ Investigative Committee sometimes in 2015 to the effect that report of investigations showed that the allegations against Hon. Justice Danladi Umar were based on mere suspicions. “In view of the foregoContinued on page 7
NNPC imports $5.8bn petrol to stop fuel crisis
ÏÏÏ The Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has said it has imported 9.8 million metric tons of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) worth $5.8 billion to combat the fuel crisis which has been plaguing Nigeria since December last year. The Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, made this known during a public hearing by the Senate Committee on Public Accounts at the National Assembly. Baru, who was represented by the Chief Operating Officer, Finance and Accounts, Mr. Abdulrazaq Isiaka, in a presentation, said the NNPC carried out the massive importation in fulfillment of its statutory role of supplier of last resort to ensure that Nigerians do not suffer as a result of product unavailability. According to the GMD, the corporation’s provision of 9.8 million metric tons of petrol so far has helped a great deal in ameliorating the suffering of Nigerians. He said the corporation’s
intervention became necessary following the inability of the major and independent marketers to import the product because of the high landing cost which made cost recovery and profitability difficult owing to the regulated price regime. While assuring the public of adequate product supply, the GMD, however, pointed out that cross-border smuggling due to price disparity between Nigeria and neighbouring countries where a litre of petrol sells above N350 per litre as well as logistic issues in tracking products to different locations across the country remained serious challenges in the quest for fuel queue-free situation in the country. The Chairman Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Senator Matthew Uroghide, noted that the public hearing was a part of the Committee’s duty to find lasting solutions to the problem of fuel scarcity in order to make life easy for all Nigerians.

Buhari: FG won’t relent on war against corruption Tom Garba, Yola
ÏÏÏ Meanwhile, President
Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that his administration will not relent on the war against corruption, saying that the anti- graft mantra of the federal government is on course. Buhari stated this in Yola, the Adamawa State capital on Tuesday during his one day visit to the state declare open an anti corruption summit. According to Buhari, his administration will not relent in fighting corruption. Declaring the summit open, Buhari maintained that his promise to tackle the twin problems of pervasive corruption and insecurity which his administration observed to be enormous challenge confronting the country when
he took office had been kept. He said, “ You may recall on the 29th of May 2015 when I said that we are faced with enormous challenges in this country with the problem of insecurity, institutional pervasive corruption being key, and that my confidence remains high that together we will take the problems head on.’’ The President, who met with royal fathers and commissioned some roads constructed by the Adamawa State Governor Mohammed Jibrilla while in the state, also noted that the administration was not tackling the challenge of corruption in isolation of the states. He said, “We are fixing our problems together, even though under our systems the Federal Government
cannot directly interfere in the details and operations of states. But to see that gross corruption at the local level is being checked in a transparent manner is a thing of satisfaction and joy for me. We will try to ensure that there’s more responsible and accountable government at all levels of government in this country.” In his earlier submission the Chairman of the summit, Ahmed Joda, said Nigerians needed President Buhari beyond 2019 because the battle to defeat the corruption which the administration is known for still remains. He said, “ We must support the President in his determination to defeat corruption. The Nigerian people need him as the battle remains. ” Governor Jibrilla on his
part, observed that those opposed to the President Buhari standing for re-election are jittery about his anti corruption crusade. The state government said since 1999, over N954billion which accrued to the state has not been properly channeled into the development of the state because of corruption. Umar Bindir, Secretary to the Adamawa State Government in his presentation on “Tackling corruption through Accountability and Transparency: The Adamawa State’s way” said nearly 100% of the contracts awarded by the previous administration did not comply with due process, a development he said was responsible for the corrupt diversion of funds which could have gone into development of the state.

Anambra Central Senatorial Seat: Special panel of justices begin sitting on Okonkwo’s appeal Andrew Orolua, Abuja.
ÏÏÏ A full panel of Justices
of the Court of Appeal set up by the President of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, on Tuesday began sitting in Abuja over the appeal filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, seeking to restore the consent judgment that declared him winner of Anambra Central senatorial election held in 2015. The Federal High Court in Abuja had on Friday, 12 January 2018 set aside the consent judgment delivered on December 13, 2017 and the order on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), asking the electoral umpire to issue Okonkwo with a certificate of return as senator representing the Senatorial District of Anambra state. But after sorting out
some preliminary issues relating the the appeal, the panel headed by Justice M.L. Garba fixed February 26 for definite hearing of the appeal. Members of the special panel who are drawn from the various divisions of the appellate court to hear the pre-election matter also include Justices M.A. Danjuma; T.O. Awotoye; M.L. Shuaibu and F.O. Oho. When the matter came up for mention on Tuesday, the legal team to the appellant, comprising Sabastine Hon (SAN), Festus Keyamo (SAN) and Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN) informed the court about the processes already filed before it. Leader of the team, Sabastine Hon, specifically told the court that he has filed the appellant’s brief of argument but needed time to respond to the processes filed by lead lawyer to INEC, Chief Awomolo Adegboyega (SAN), including a notice of preliminary
objections. He consequently asked the court for a short adjournment for the purpose of filling his response. His application was not opposed to by the lawyer to the respondents including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Umeji and Ernest Nwoye for Mrs. Uche Ekwunife. The court consequently granted the application and adjourned the matter to February 26. In the notice of appeal which is rooted on 13 grounds and filed by Hon, Okonkwo further prayed the Court of Appeal to set aside January 12, 2018 verdict of Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court which vacated the said consent judgment of December 13, 2017. He also asked the appellate court for an order directing INEC to immediately comply with the consent judgment of Justice Tsoho delivered on December 13,
2017, by issuing him with a Certificate of Return as the winner of the disputed senatorial seat. In addition, the appellant is seeking an order of the Court of Appeal to the effect that the consent judgment entered into by Justice Tsoho on December 13, 2017 in suit No; FHC/ABJ/ CS/1092/2014, ranks superior to any post-election decision, notwithstanding the hierarchy of court established by section 287 and other relevant provisions of the 1999 constitution (as amended). He further prayed for an order that in spite of the hierarchy of the courts established by section 287 and other relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution, a pre-election suit and decisions ranks/superior to a post-election decision notwithstanding that the court delivering the pre-election decision is inferior to the court delivering or which has delivered the post-elec-
tion decision. The appellant also asked for an order setting aside the order of Justice Tsoho that proceedings in suit No; FHC/ABJ/CS/1092/2014 be adjourned sine die pending the determination of the two appeals filed by the PDP before the Supreme Court. Specifically, the appellant said his right to a fair hearing was denied by Justice Tsoho when he singlehandedly amended the only relief in a Motion on Notice brought by INEC seeking to “vary” his judgment of December 13, 2017. He maintained that “the learned trial judge suo motu, held that the word “vary” means “vacate”, without giving the parties, especially the appellant an opportunity to address him on that”. Okonkwo also raised questions about Justice Tsoho’s decision to hold that INEC’s sole relief was not vague on the grounds
that other contents of the Motion on Notice saved it. He argued that by adding the word ‘vacate’ to the Motion on Notice by INEC, Justice Tsoho went out of his way to decide on what was not asked for by INEC. Reminding that his suit emanated from a pre-election situation, Okonkwo also reminded the court that all matters relating to the Court of Appeal which Justice Tsoho relied upon in delivering his ruling, were all from post-election litigations. The appellant also informed the Court of appeal that Justice Tsoho was wrong to have held that a consent judgment is not a judgment on the merits and could be set aside through a motion on notice, adding that “a consent judgment is recognized under section 241(2)(c) of the of the 1999 Constitution as amended as a final judgment against which an appeal could only be lodged with leave”.

Illicit drug use: Senate moves to establish rehabilitation centres nationwide ÏÏÏ Following its Decem-
ber Roundtable, which was aimed at addressing the Drug Use Epidemic across the nation, the Senate, on Tuesday, passed a motion calling on the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Health to establish rehabilitation centers in each of the 36 states of the Nation. In a motion sponsored by Senator Jeremiah Useni and nine other senators, the Senate noted that with more rehabilitation centers in the country, addicts would be able to receive professional treatment in the short and long term, thereby, bringing down the rate of addiction and crime in the country. “Drug addicts are seen everywhere on the streets,” said Senator Philip Gyunka, “I have the strong belief that if the rehabilitation centers are established there will be less crime in the society.” Speaking on the motion, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, emphasized that drug abuse negatively affects the productivity of our
youth, stating that there was a need to stop the distribution of drugs at both the wholesale and retail levels. “This issue of drug abuse is a threat to youths’ productivity. There’s a need to break the chain between the dealers and users as it is fostering crimes in the country. Security agencies should curb the distribution of drugs,” Ekweremadu said. Commending the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Senator Joshua Lidani, stated that the motion stemmed from the Senate Roundtable organized in Kano last year, which shed light on how big of an issue drug use is in the country. The Senate further resolved to urge relevant stakeholders like the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to key into the proposed rehabilitation centers, while, mandating its committee on Secondary and Tertiary Health to ensure that the Federal Government gives the centers the needed attention when established.

He mentioned that during his regime, Nigeria was at the heart of Africa’s Foreign Policy. He also pointed out that Nigeria’s foreign policy must be adequately funded and government must provide all the assistance needed by the Ministry to enable them do their job both at home and abroad. Also in his remarks the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, said that since 1957 when the Foreign Ministry was created, it has distinguished itself in the formulation of foreign policies which has been implemented by various government. He noted that economic and citizens diplomacy was formulated
to give very good deliverables for the country although some of the benefits are intangible. He pointed out that once the foreign policy objectives are spelt out, the ministry puts in place everything to ensure its implementation across the 109 missions and in consonance with the fast moving needs of the world. He noted that economic diplomacy is in line with Economic Recovery and Growth Plan and meant to grow the economy both locally and internationally. He called for more funding of the ministry so as to raise its foreign policy trust. He said that the many successes of the ministry has been enmeshed due to paucity of funds, noting that the ministry has raised professionals and leaders in international arena and decision making tables where they project the nations image. He reported that the ministry has been able to wade into the slave market in
Libya and has repatriated many Nigerians trapped in Libya just as it intervened in the xenophobic attack in South Africa where an early warning signals were worked out although, according to him, it has not yielded the desired result. The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of For-

The Minister said this when the Chief Executive Officer of TVC Communications, Mr. Andrew Hanlon, led a team of top officials of the company on a courtesy visit to the Minister in his office in Abuja on Tuesday. ‘’We are on a rescue mission. However, the way a section of the media is reporting the challenges facing the country today does not reflect that understanding. They are making a corrective administration to look like the culprit, to give the impression that the rain started beating us in Nigeria only from 29 May 2015, to play down the challenges that this Administration has faced and which it is successfully tackling. ‘’For example, we did not get to where we are today in just three years. It has taken successive decades of bad governance, unbridled corruption, lack of probity, a culture of impunity and a near state of anarchy. These are the ills this Administration inherited and which it has set out to tackle. And this is what the media must reflect in their reporting,’’ he said. Alhaji Mohammed said but for the prudence, probity and the anti-corruption stance of this Administration, the situation could have been worse, adding: ‘’Instead of recession, we could have had a total collapse of the economy. The power grid could have collapsed altogether. Corruption could have overwhelmed the society. Boko Haram could have turned Abuja to Bama or Konduga. Food imports could have tripled what it was preMay 29th 2015 and the Naira might have been worse hit.’’ He, therefore, challenged the media to do more to educate Nigerians ‘’that it is hard to build but easy to destroy, that the same people who presided over yesterday’s looting of our treasury are today posing as would-be saviours of Nigerians, that this Administration is rebuilding almost from the scratch with 60% less revenue, that the corrupt ones are spending millions of Naira to paint the government of the bad, and that Nigeria is not returning to Egypt’’. The Minister said when this Administration assumed office, the price of oil, the mainstay of Nigeria’s economy, had dropped to around $30 from over $100, foreign reserves stood at a low of $24 billion, the Federal Government was borrowing to pay salary, some 27 states were owing arrears of salary, contractors
poor state, power generation was 2,690 megawatts, billions were being paid as ‘fuel subsidies’ to fat cats, corruption had emptied the treasury while 20 of the 27 local councils in Borno were under Boko Haram control. ‘’Today, the trend is being reversed and the results are showing: Foreign Reserves is now $42.8b, inflation has fallen for 12 consecutive months to 15.13%, 108 billion Naira has been saved from the removal of maintenance fees payable to banks pre-TSA, the nation is saving 24.7 billion Naira monthly with the full TSA implementation, the elimination of ghost workers has saved the nation 120 billion Naira, capital inflow reached $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2017, almost double the $908 million in the first quarter, while Nigeria’s stock market is one of the best-performing in the world, delivering returns in excess of 40 percent. ‘’Nigeria has also jumped 24 places on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking and earned a place on the List of Top 10 Reformers in the world, the Administration has repeatedly given bailouts for states to pay salary, the Administration’s Agricultural Revolution is a huge success, with agriculture export up year-on-year by 25%, rice import from Thailand dropping 644,000 Metric Tonnes to 22,000MT and rice farmers growing from 5 million to 12.3 million, the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme has created jobs for 61,352 cooks, and it is providing 6.4 million school children in 33,981 schools across 20 states with one meal a day,’’ he said. Alhaji Mohammed also noted that the N-Power programme has employed 200,000 graduates that power generation has reached an all-time high of over 7,000MW, which infrastructural development is going on at a massive rate across the country, that corruption has been driven under the table and Boko Haram has been massively degraded. He said a free press is indispensable to democracy, and assured that the Administration will not do anything to stifle the press earlier, Mr. Hanlon had assured the Minister of TVC Communication’s commitment to the country’s audio-visual landscape, while announcing that a new radio station will open in Abuja in April as part of the company’s aggressive investment programme. Also on the entourage of the TVC Communications CEO were Mr. Ronan Redmond, TVC’s Director of Commercial; Mr. Babatunde Kolade Otitoju, Head of News and Mr. Taiwo Amodu, the Abuja Bureau Chief.
2019: Group threatens legal action against Dankwambo Samuel Luka, Bauchi
ÏÏÏGovernor
Hassan Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe state may not have it lightly should he fail to contest for the office of the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming 2019 general elections. This came as a group known as the ‘North East Supporters of Governor Hassan Dankwambo of Gombe state, presidential youth forum’ issued a threat to sue the presidential hopeful to a competent court on failing to
contest as president of Nigeria come 2019. The Bauchi state chairman of the group, Adamu Hasssan made the statement Tuesday while briefing newsmen at a meeting in Bauchi saying, “Governor Dankwambo possesses all the qualities and credibility to take over government from APC”. The forum added that it will also not hesitate to contact prominent elders in the zone to prevail on Dankwambo to accept its offer. “Dankwambo’s choice is not negotiable being
a governor who has distinguished himself on addressing the plights of the youths. “There is no gain saying that Dankwambo has positively transformed Gombe state in all the sectors of the economy and hardly you can see his kind of achievements being put in place by APC governors across the country, so they should emulate him”, ADAMU noted. The forum further called on all Nigerians to vote out APC administration, as according to them, the APC led ad-
ministration have been characterised by nepotism, corruption and total failure. He pointed out that since the inception of APC poverty and sectional bigotry, unemployment indices and economic deprivation had increased. The Chairman of the forum angrily explained that, “in Bauchi state, already youth and women have been mobilized to vote out the APC, we regret that herdsmen are killing with impunity and lack of fuel is hitting hard in the country”.

NNPC imports $5.8bn petrol to stop fuel crisis ÏÏÏThe
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has said it has imported 9.8 million metric tons of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) worth $5.8 billion to combat the fuel crisis which has been plaguing Nigeria since December last year. The Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, made this known during a public hearing by the Senate Committee on Public Accounts at the National Assembly. Baru, who was repre-
sented by the Chief Operating Officer, Finance and Accounts, Mr. Abdulrazaq Isiaka, in a presentation, said the NNPC carried out the massive importation in fulfillment of its statutory role of supplier of last resort to ensure that Nigerians do not suffer as a result of product unavailability. According to the GMD, the corporation’s provision of 9.8 million metric tons of petrol so far has helped a great deal in ameliorating the suffering of Nigerians.
He said the corporation’s intervention became necessary following the inability of the major and independent marketers to import the product because of the high landing cost which made cost recovery and profitability difficult owing to the regulated price regime. While assuring the public of adequate product supply, the GMD, however, pointed out that crossborder smuggling due to price disparity between Nigeria and neighbouring countries where a
litre of petrol sells above N350 per litre as well as logistic issues in tracking products to different locations across the country remained serious challenges in the quest for fuel queue-free situation in the country. The Chairman Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Senator Matthew Uroghide, noted that the public hearing was a part of the Committee’s duty to find lasting solutions to the problem of fuel scarcity in order to make life easy for all Nigerians.

N5.3bn fraud: Court strikes out charge against Ex- Gov Nnamani
Anambra Central Senatorial Seat: Special panel begins sitting on Okonkwo’s appeal Andrew Orolua, Abuja.

Respite, on Tuesday came the way of a former Enugu State governor, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, as a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, struck out all the proceedings in relation to the trial over alleged N5.3 billion fraud. Justice Chuka Obiozor, struck out the proceedings at the instance of the prosecutor, Mr. Kelvin Uzozie, who had earlier told the court of the intention of his client, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to file a new charge with new number against Nnamani, and his former aide, Sunday Onyekazor Anyaogu. The duo of Nnamani and Anyaogu, are being tried in the court by the EFCC on charges bordering on N5.3 billion fraud. When the matter came up Tuesday, the prosecutor, Uzozie told the court that upon looking at the fact of the case, the position of the EFCC is to file a new charge with new number, against the two accused persons. Uzozie said the decision to file new charge with new number against the two accused persons was based on the judgment of Justice Mohammed Yunusa which was delivered on July 7, 2017 on charge number FHC/ L/09C/07. The prosecutor also told the court that as at today (Tuesday), there is no charge against Nnamani and his aide before the court; he consequently urged the court to strike out the entire proceed-

Nnamani’s lawyer, Mr. Rickey Tafa SAN, and lawyer to the second accused, Mr. Victor Obaro, did not oppose this prosecution’s application. However, Nnamani’s lawyer, Tafa, said when the matter came up last time, they had filed an affidavit to the termination of the charge of FHC/L/09c/07, which he said had been conceded to by the prosecution.
Tafa also stated that in fairness to the prosecution, as at the time the matter was reassigned, ‘there was no case to be reassigned’, and that is not on any condition that the matter should strike out the cases. But the prosecutor, Uzozie, said that his request to court was that the entire proceedings before the court be set aside, with the liberty to the prosecution to file a new charge. Justice Obiozor ordered
that: “as the learned prosecutor has said, in effect, proceedings with this case will be exercise in futility, I shall order under the Act of this court, expunged the entire proceedings before this court, as there was never a charge before this court. All proceedings before the court is hereby expunged and strike out”. With the court order, it means that the bench warrant earlier issued by the
court against the former Governor, Nnamani, has been discharged, and become null and void. Nnamani, Anyaogu and six companies had been first arraigned in 2007 for allegedly conspiring to divert about N5.3bn from the coffers of Enugu State. The case, which had been handled by no fewer than three judges, was last year December transferred to Justice Obiozor.
A full panel of Justices of the Court of Appeal set up by the President of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, on Tuesday began sitting in Abuja over the appeal filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, seeking to restore the consent judgment that declared him winner of Anambra Central senatorial election held in 2015. The Federal High Court in Abuja had on Friday, 12 January 2018 set aside the consent judgment delivered on December 13, 2017 and the order on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), asking the electoral umpire to issue Okonkwo with a certificate of return as senator representing the Senatorial District of Anambra state. But after sorting out some preliminary issues relating the the appeal, the panel headed by Justice M.L. Garba fixed February 26 for definite hearing of the appeal. Members of the special panel who are drawn from the various divisions of the appellate court to hear the pre-election matter also include Justices M.A. Danjuma; T.O. Awotoye; M.L. Shuaibu and F.O. Oho. When the matter came up for mention on Tuesday, the legal team to the appellant, comprising Sabastine Hon (SAN), Festus Keyamo (SAN) and Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN) informed the court about the processes already filed before it.
False asset declaration: Justice Ngwuta knows fate March 21 Andrew Orolua, Abuja
ÎÎÎ
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Abuja has fixed 21 March, 2018 to decide on Justice, Sylvester Nwali Ngwuta application challenging the competence of false assets declaration charge filed against him by the federal government. Ngwuta, one of the justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria is standing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for alleged misconduct. The tribunal fixed the date Tuesday after taking arguments from Ngwuta’ s lawyer and the federal government prosecuting coun-
sel on the propriety or otherwise of the charge. Ngwuta through his counsel Mr. Kanu Agabi (SAN) had in a motion on notice filed on January 9 prayed the tribunal to invoke section 158(1) of the 1999 constitution to dismiss the 10-count criminal charges against him. His ground was that as at the time the alleged offence was committed, he was a serving justice of the Supreme Court, hence a serving judicial officer within the purview of section 318 of the constitution. The apex court justice insisted that by the combined effects of section 158 of the constitution and paragraph 21 of the third schedule to
the constitution, any complaint or allegation of misconduct against him must first be referred to the National Judicial Council (NJC) empowered by law to exercise disciplinary control over him. He maintained that the allegations which brought about the criminal charge against him were never referred to the NJC as required by the constitution; hence, the charge was not competent in law. Ngwuta cited the decision of the Court of Appeal in the Hon. Justice Nganjiwa versus Federal Republic of Nigeria where the appellate court held that no criminal investigation or prosecution can be initiated or in-
stituted in any court of law or tribunal against a serving judicial officer for judicial misconduct without first presenting the allegation to the NJC and a determination made. Maintaining that the allegations against him were never made available to the NJC as required by law, the defendant said that the charge was incompetent and that the tribunal lack jurisdiction to entertain it. However counsel to the federal government and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria Mr. Abeni Mohammed vehemently opposed the application and urged the tribunal to dismiss it in its entirety. The senior counsel submitted that the claim of
judicial officer was misconceived by the defendant adding that Ngwuta was put on trial at the CCT as a public office holder and not as a judicial officer. Beside, Mohammed said that the finality of the Appeal Court decision relied upon by the defendant has not been tested at the Supreme Court. “The Defendant is here as a public officer to face charges against him and not as a judicial officer. He is here as Sylvester Nwali Ngwuta and not as Hon. Justice Sylvester Nwali Ngwuta. It is not derogatory, that is what the law says” the counsel argued. Mohammed insisted that the decision of the appeal
court on the judicial officers in relation to section 158 of the 1999 constitution was not application to the trial of the defendant because of peculiar circumstances and asked the tribunal to assume jurisdiction. Chairman of the tribunal Mr. Danladi Yakubu Umar later fixed March 21 for ruling in the motion. The Federal government had last year slammed a 10-count charge against the Supreme Court justice on false assets declaration. The charge has however suffered series of adjournments at the instance of the Federal government due to non-availability of witnesses to establish the case.

Senate lampoons el-Rufai on demolition of APC factional office in Kaduna Olufemi Samuel
ÏÏÏThe
Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai came under heavy attacks from Senators on Tuesday over demolition of the Kaduna APC factional Secretariat. Kaduna representatives in the Senate, Senators Suleiman Hunkuyi and Shehu Sani and joined by other aggrieved Senators led the attack on El’Rufai on what they described as his ruthless disposition to politics in the state. Senator Shehu Sani kick started the tonguelashing of El Rufai when he recounted to colleagues how the agents of Kaduna State government pulled down the head office of an APC faction, which suspended the governor in the earlier hours of Tuesday. Coming under Order 43(Personal Explanation), Sani had “officially and formally” reported that the governor led a team of armed security men including military personnel “as early as 4.00am” to demolish the new state Secretariat of the party owned and donated by Senator Hunkunyi. He said this was coming a year after a building that belongs to the National Vice Chairman of the APC in North West was demolished by the same administration on frivolous ground. Sani said in the past two and half years, the gover-
nor has used the security apparatus in the state to hunt his perceived political enemies, stating that his party office was attacked about 11 times by agents of the governor. He said: “there must be a limit to tyrannical politics of Hitler, Stalin, and Mobutu Sese Seko” he said. He described the governor’s action as an affliction to the people of Kaduna State, while he described El- Rufai as “a cancer, a political tragedy and an executive psychopath who engages in dropping President Buhari’s name in perpetrating evil against humanity.” In his comment, Senator Ike Ekweremadu who presided over plenary said using force or weight of office should not be encouraged. The Deputy Senate President said democracy cannot thrive under such tyranny and impunity exhibited by Gov. El- Rufai, while he warned politicians not to overheat the polity especially as the 2019 elections draws near. Addressing senate correspondents after plenary, Sani said “the governor is in the habit of name dropping. Hiding behind Buhari’s name to terrorize our people will no longer be tolerated”. Stating that El- Rufai’s action is a clear indication of the lingering crisis in Kaduna APC, he called on President Bihari and the
party leadership to act fast before the matter gets out of hand. “If the crisis is not nipped in the bud, it will catapult into something else,” he said, while he doubted if the Bola Tinubu reconciliation committee can settle the Kaduna APC crisis saying: “There are some places where they may have to leave the crisis as they are”. He disclosed that many of party members in the state have already packed their baggage waiting for vehicle even before the setting up of the Tinubu committee. “If the President does not take action, everybody will leave the President and the governor in the party”. On his own part, Senator Hunkunyi while addressing senate correspondents said he was not moved personally by the demolition of his property which serve as the party Secretariat, but was concerned on a then medium of utilisation of power under the nation’s hard earned democracy. He said losing his property was the price he has to pay for rejecting ElRufai’ s administration anti-people policies, noting that over 40,000 families had been brought into abject poverty and squalor by no fault of theirs but by the government’s insensitive decisions and actions. The senator said though he “started, heralded,
championed, supported and rooted and assisted the governor in winning election into office as the director general of his campaign”, he said he parted ways with the governor “when the brigandage of the governor reached a stage when I cannot betray the interest of my people. I don’t mind whose ox is gored. He said he has personally forgiven El-rufai for the demolition of the building which once served as his campaign office.”I have forgiven him. He is my brother. For bringing down one of my houses, there is no reason why I should lose my sleep”. But he warned that he would not be deterred by the government’s action. He said “if the reason is to shut me down, it has given me strong reason to maintain my posture, belief, and direction to stand with my people and the electorate in Kaduna State”. Reacting to the state government’s reason for the demolition on the ground that the building carries a residential building title while being used as office complex, Hunkunyi described such as frivolous and unjustifiable. “Even if that should be the case, shouldn’t there be a contravention order to that effect and more so, there should be a quit notice before the hurried demolition”, he said.

Any party going into coalition is already a defeated party - Sen Dansadau As the name implies, your party wants to rescue Nigeria. How do you intend to do that? We plan to do that by doing things differently from the way and manner other political parties have been doing things. We have three broad processes; NRM is set to change approach, change style of Nigerian politics and then change leadership recruitment process. Democracy in the opinion of NRM is not just about having civilian administration or democratically elected government, but it is about freedom and provision of good governance and that is the ultimate objective of the National Rescue Movement. For the first time in Nigeria’s political history, a political party is coming up with a manifesto that has the input of all major stake holders in the Nigerian economy. We have written letters to all professional groups in this country, all trade unions, religious leaders, traditional rulers, youth and women organisations, enclosing our manifesto and asking them to look into areas that affect their profession with a view to making their observations and input. All the observations and input that we are going to receive, we are going to setup a commission of experts within and outside the party to harmonise all the inputs, put them in our manifesto and then we file an amendment with INEC. By so doing, we shall be the first political party that will produce this type of manifesto. We are also going to make all these groups to be part of our leadership recruitment process. In other words, in NRM, we shall have a three phased primaries. In the first instance, members of the party will play the primary role and then professional group, trade unions and all other organisations who are non-partisan will play a secondary role. The final which is the tertiary role, will be played purely by members of the NRM during our primaries. By so doing, we are providing an objective process through which presidential candidates, governorship candidates and all other seats that have been provided by the constitution will be contested for under our party. It will be purely objective, a process that money or god fatherism will not influence. All kinds of sentiments will have very little to do with our process. Our process is immune to all kinds of vices or sentiments you can think of. We are also the first political party in this country that has come up with this type of process. In fact we have many political parties but I can vouch to say that we are different from all the political parties that have existed from the time of independence till date. We are a political party with a difference, we are out for a serious business, we are out to fix Nigeria and we shall demonstrate to Nigerians that we have the capacity, we are ready, we have the commitment to ameliorate the socioeconomic and political challenges that have bedeviled this country for so long. Do you think professional politicians will be willing to buy into this transparent platform? Honestly speaking, by the credibility tests that we have planned that all our candidates must go through, from the so-called career politicians, only five percent may be able to scale through the process. The remaining 95 percent will emerge from what we describe as fresh politicians, especially from the
will sit down here in Abuja, after your people have nominated you, you have won your elections, you have won your primary and somebody will come here and give us millions, and then we cancel your name and put somebody’s name. No that is not going to happen. So once you are elected by your people, you are elected and you don’t need to campaign during the election, it is the party that is going to campaign for you and the party is not going to give anybody money to vote for any of its candidates. All we are going to do to the Nigerian people is to give them credible candidates with the fear of God who will serve them creditably in the interest of the nation. Therefore money is not even a secondary factor.
DANSADAU
Senator Saidu Mohammed Dansadau is the National Chairman of National Rescue Movement (NRM), one of the new political parties. In this interview with MYKE UZENDU, Dansadau reveals the party’s novel leadership election plan, its view on restructuring, Obasanjo’s third force, state police and how NRM will transform the country. youths who have been dominated for so long by the older generation. We want to bring the Nigerian youths forward. We want them to play critical role in nation building, we want to see how much they can do in terms of providing good governance. Since independence to date, it is people from our age, from the age of 60 and above who have been running the affairs of this country and if what we have on ground today is all we can give to this country, it means we have not done well. If we want to be crude, then I can say that we have failed. And if we have not done well, what do we do, we have to change style and this style is to bring forward the Nigerian youths, give them a trial and see what they will be able to offer. Apart from the youths and women, there are also the professionals, serving and retired, technocrats and civil servants who are credible and will scale through the credibility test. Time has gone when you can bring anybody whether he has the right antecedent or not and you give him ticket as a governorship candidate. In fact, no other political party can do that, we are out to rescue Nigeria and its people. One of the problems hampering active participation of youths is finance, how do you intend to handle that?
In National Rescue Movement, money is not a primary factor. The primary factor in NRM is your credibility, your honesty, your fear of God, your determination and resolution to use power to serve God and humanity. In our party, even presidential aspirants do not have to pay that fortune, they may not even have to pay up to N500,000 not to talk of somebody contesting for state House of Assembly or House of Reps, chairman of local government or councilor, so money is not the primary factor. My conscience is telling me that Nigerians have learnt from a very hard way and have realised, especially the ordinary voter in the village that money politics is substantially responsible for the denigration on the quality of leadership in the country, and the worst victim of this bad leadership is the ordinary Nigerian that is out there in the village, that is on the street. And they are ready to teach fraudulent Nigerians a very good lesson by not voting them into power. Credible Nigerians are in every nook and cranny of this country and they are known, these are the kind of people I want to field as candidates. They don’t even need to have money to get our tickets because nobody will take bribe at the National Secretariat of NRM. Nobody
All these ideas as good as they sound, have you made attempts to sell it to the older parties before forming NRM knowing that we already have 68 political parties? Of course, they are very much aware of the radicalism of my ideas, remember when I wanted to contest for the National Chairmanship of the ANPP, in 2002, the ANPP governors and the power that be in the villa at that time knew that if I emerge as the National Chairman of the ANPP, it will defeat PDP at that time, so there was conspiracy between ANPP governors and the power that be at the Villa in order to truncate the convention. They weighed all options; they spent all the money in order to make sure that I was defeated. But at the eve of the convention, at 1am after examining all options and they realised that once the convention took place that I was going to win the election, they now conscripted a judge who issued a court order, restraining the party from holding the convention. We knew what happened, a Judge was woken up at 1am and he issued a court order which was back dated and truncated the convention because they knew very well that if I come back with this radical ideas, that will transform the party which will lead to some governors at that time not winning second term, and that it can lead ANPP to win at the center, that’s why there was conspiracy. Don’t forget that in 2008, I resigned from the ANPP, it was not out of nothing, it was because I was not satisfied with the way and manner ANPP was being ran at that time and nobody was prepared to listen. Nobody wanted any amendment that will make ANPP a clearly national party with ideology which would provide good governance as opposed to the PDP, because most of the leaders especially the governors at that time were not after providing good governance. All they were after was the obvious thing. So, it is not that we haven’t tried it before, we tried but it wasn’t possible and that was why we said this time around, look people have now realised that we have no option in this country except to have credible people at the helm of affairs. That is the only way out and I am very glad to say that with the kind of reception we are getting from all nooks and corners of the country. In fact from the ordinary Nigerians, the elites are still contemplating but I am still very glad that NRM as a movement is still answering its name as a movement. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

2019: Lagos lawmaker urges Christians to get involved in politics
Stories by Patrick Okohue
A Lagos lawmaker, Hon Tunde Braimoh, has urged Nigerians, especially Christians to participate in politics for nation building, saying “INEC won’t count prayer points, but votes.” Braimoh, the Chairman, House Committee on Information Strategy and Security, Lagos State House of Assembly made the plea on Sunday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s (RCCG), Kosofe Lagos. Braimoh, who was the Guest Speaker at the RCCG’s service organised to sensitise Christians on the essence of partaking in politics, spoke on “Christians and Politics”. The News Agency in Nigeria (NAN) reports that the service was organised by the RCCGPrince of Peace Zone- under the auspices of the Young Adults and Youth Ministry. “Usually people don’t know how to be aware or get involved in happenings around them, you hear talks like, as a Christian, you should avoid politics so as to avoid participating in immoralities, but that won’t solve the problems in the country, whereas being Christians and solution providers, you must rise above primordial sentiments and try to proffer solutions. “INEC won’t count your prayer points,” the lawmaker, representing Kosofe Constituency II said. Braimoh urged all Nigerians to make efforts

to build a great nation through participation in politics rather than apathy. The lawmaker, who advised Christians to stop complaining, said Christians should drop the mindset of politics being a dirty game played by bad people. He commended the church for choosing the topic and providing opportunity for others to
get enlightened on importance for Christians to be part of politics. The lawmaker, who talked on the place of religion in politics, described voting as both an art and science to install the kind of government people desired. Braimoh added that God loves orderliness and appoints leaders and urged every Christian to be interested in politics. “We mustn’t allow ourselves be led by people with bad intentions. We must always remember that the Nigerian government is a mirror of the Nigerian society,’’ he said. He highlighted positive influences the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who is a pastor in the RCCG has brought to the country. According to him, the infrastructural development of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode in the state is equally worthy of note. Earlier, Pastor Shola Olayinka, the host pastor, who commended the Lagos lawmaker, said: “Christians for long have been shying away from politics. It is high time the children of God got involved in governance and electoral activities,” he said. It would be recalled that the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has called on all members of the RCCG to join any political party of their choice. The cleric also urged members to get their Permanent Voter Cards at their wards and participate in politics.
Lagos community seeks Ambode’s help on infrastructure Residents of Ogudu community, in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State, especially those of Adebola Street, comprising Asejere, Alhaji Eleshin, Gafari and other adjoining streets have called on the Lagos State governor, Akinwumi Ambode, to save them from incessant flooding due to the blockage of the canal in the area each time it rains. They are therefore calling on the governor to extend the construction of roads currently going on in the area from Gafari to Adebola street to combat flooding and provide easy accessibility to the expressway. They also believe that diverting motorists going to Ogudu round from Ramat Street through Adebola Street to Gafari Street will make for easy accessibility to the expressway. This they said will further reduce the problem of traffic grid-lock around Ogudu roundabout which has been posing serious problems to residents, transporters and commuters alike on daily basis. The people of the area made the charge known to journalists at Ogudu, Lagos. According to a landlord, Chief Majeobaje Adebola, “We want Governor Ambode to assist us by tarring Adebola Street so that we can be safe from devastating floods that has been
wrecking havoc in the area for some time now. The construction of the road from Ramat through Adebola to the expressway will also allow free flow of traffic around Ogudu roundabout, Association close and Ogudu Ori-Oke, as Adebola street from Ramat will serve as a direct link to the expressway through Gafari. “Those coming from GRA would not have to go to the roundabout before linking the expressway, what they can do is to pass through Adebola street down to Gafari and to the expressway,” he stated. “We are residents of the state, we voted for him and his party APC in the last elections and will vote for him again for second term, so we want to benefit from his government by tackling flooding in the area by tarring Adebola like other streets in the area,” he said. Also speaking, another landlord, Prince Martins Ehuwa, lamented that he had been living in the area for over 35 years and their major problem is flooding. His words: “Water do disturb us whenever it rains, the canal has been blocked but if the governor can help us tar the road with the construction of drainages, the effect of flooding will be minimal, as there will be drainages where the water will pass down to the sea,” he added.
‘Going into
coalition is already a defeated party ’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
Are not threatened by Obasanjo’s third force? I don’t believe in Obasanjo’s third force nor do I believe in any coalition. So, your party is not planning to go into a coalition? For me it is defeatist when politicians begin to feel that they have to come together in large number, simply to wrestle power from the ruling political party. It should be a contest of ideas not a contest of conspiracy and coalition. Each and every political party must showcase what it stands for, the package it has for Nigerians, I think that it is unwise. If you go through an experience and you fail to get the desired result, why should you do it again? ACN, ANPP and all other parties that make up the coalition, that is how we collected power from the PDP, but where are we today, have we gotten the desired change, have we gotten the desired result, of course no. Why should we go back to it, we should change strategy and that strategy is NRM. That is why we are appealing to all Nigerians of good will, patriotic Nigerians who regard political power as an instrument of serving God and humanity to come forward. Our hope and prayer is that NRM will make Nigeria a democratic home for third world countries like America is when you are talking about democracy. Is your party talking with any serving governor or members of the National Assembly to woo them into NRM? I am in talks with some politicians, members of the National Assembly, but I am not in talks with any governor. I feel that from the National Assembly, there are some few ones that we can fish out that we believe that they can meet the criteria of our credibility test, that if they so wish, they can come over and be part of this epoch making efforts to rescue Nigeria and its people. What’s the position of your party on restructuring? My belief is that if NRM is in power for just four years, I don’t think you will hear any agitation for restructuring, State of Biafra, Boko Haram, cattle rustling, kidnapping, armed banditry. All these vices are products of bad governance. It is not restructuring that Nigerians are looking for, what they are looking for is good governance, to grow the economy, Nigerian youths to get employment opportunities, industrialists and entrepreneurs to get enabling environment, Nigerian farmer to have a market where he can make profit. So that whatever trade you are engaged in, you will have a conducive business environment so that all together, we can now grow the economy and everybody will be very busy and nobody will have time for agitation.
AMBODE While commending Governor Ambode for a job well done in the state, another landlord, Olusoji Jolaoso said, “We pay our taxes regularly, we pay for land use charge and we are APC members, we want the governor to help us with the construction of the road so the havoc being wrecked on the people by the floods will be a thing of the past,” he submitted.
This issue of state police, does your party believe in it? Well, the party has not taken any position, but I personally for one, believe in it because it has a lot of advantages. The population of Nigeria is growing so large and it doesn’t make sense that you take somebody from Yobe State as a police officer and post him to the riverine area of Bayelsa State. He doesn’t know the terrain, he doesn’t know the culture and tradition, he doesn’t understand the language. How does he help in intelligence gathering, it doesn’t make sense. Therefore, state police can substantially help in law and order and ameliorating the security challenges which we are going through.

Editorial Time to revamp the textile industry
R
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 neglect 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.

5 Delta communities boil over alleged plots to alter aged-long tradition Nosa Akenzua, Asaba
ÎÎÎ
Five Amai communities in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State are currently boiling over alleged plots by some elements to alter its aged long tradition at an emergency meeting held at the palace of late Igwete on Monday.
Also, the elders flayed the abandoned DESOPADEC projects in the areas, threatening that the contractors concerned be invited to give reasons for the delay and explain why they abandoned the projects. Mr. Fredrick Obi, spokesman for Ishikaguma-Amai community, told journalists in Asaba that the five Amai
communities otherwise known as Amai kingdom, had at the meeting resolved that until a substantive kings be installed, any meeting held outside the palace will have no effect on the good people of Amai kingdom. It also resolved that concerning land issues between Amai and other neighbouring communi-
ties must have the Onotu-Ukus of the affected Quarters present at such meetings. On electricity, it was resolved that sons and daughters of Amai Kingdom should contribute towards the restoration of light that was disconnected in 2014 by BEDC noting that Amai unity cannot be compromised, the elders’ council meet-
ing resolved that the question to ensure that equity and fairness would be dispensed to all concerned, there was need to avert any form of crises, and acrimony in Amai communities, adding that the nomination and presentation of High Chief Andrew Ikogwe was disapproved by a majority in the five ruling Houses of the
kingdom. Consequently, it resolved that Umuekum ruling House had been called upon to nominate and represent an acceptable candidate for the Igwete stool in line with the provisions of the Delta State chieftaincy rule No. 44 Vol. 6 of 171 10//1996, establishing the Igwete stool.
Nigeria still suffering from effect of FESTAC 77 -Cleric Patrick Okohue
ÎÎÎ
A Lagos-based cleric, Evangelist Felix Adunpe has said that freedom from the Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) ’77 siege remains Nigeria’s problem, not periodic change in government. Adunpe, the General Overseer of Signs and Wonders Prayer Ministries Evangelical for All Nations, Uraka, Epe, Lagos told newsmen in Lagos that Nigeria needed deliverance from self-imposed bondage through FESTAC. He said that the problems plaguing Nigeria would not be fixed merely by removing President Muhammadu Buhari and replacing him in 2019. According to the cleric, it is false to believe or think that periodic change in government can bring the desired progress and development to the country, as the nation moves to 2019 General Elections. “We need to come together and pray to God regardless of our religious beliefs if we must move forward as a nation. We have tried both military and civilian governments and yet hope of a better life for Nigerians remains a mirage. “Nigeria must be redeemed from sin of glorifying idols above God; we must pray for the country to be free from all forms of demonic powers troubling the country since 1977 FESTAC.” The cleric, said that God directed him to hold an Inter-denominational Crusade on April 27 at Mount Ikoyi (Ori-Oke Ikoyi), Isokan Local Government Area, Osun State to pray unto Him for liberation of Nigeria. Adunpe, who tagged the programme ‘Nigeria Must Be Redeemed’ said if all political, traditional, religious and community leaders would join in the fasting and prayer, the country would move forward. Quoting Psalm 127 verse 1, the cleric said: “Except the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. “We cannot be doing same thing same way and expect a different results, we should not continue to waste money on elections periodically with false hope; we must go back to God.

4 Beninoise trans-border robbers arrested in Lagos Joy Anyim
ÎÎÎ
A four man Beninoise transborder robbery gang who specialises in snatching exotic cars in Lagos have been arrested by the undercover operatives of the Lagos State Police Command. The suspects- Ajagba Hammed; 30 years, Tobinju Potel; 35 years, Botan Remmy; 30 years and Rasheed Akinola 32 years, were arrested in Mile 2 area of Lagos. The Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal who paraded the suspects at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja said the suspects snatched vehicles in Lagos and transport the vehicles to their home country. Speaking during the parade of the suspects at the command headquarters in Ikeja, Edgal said, “This is a case of conspiracy and armed robbery involving some Beninese. A notorious and deadly trans-border armed robbery gang that came into the country through the land borders to snatch exotic cars and
SUVs at gun point and cross these vehicles to Cotonou in Benin Republic. “However, their armed robbery exploit on January 20th, 2018 at 9pm on Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos spelt their doom. On the aforementioned date and time, one Olayinka Oyebola owner of a Toyota Prado Jeep with Registration No. LSR-677-DF, went to Zenith Bank ATM gallery at Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos to withdraw some cash. “When he was through with the withdrawal, he entered his car but before he could drive off, the criminals who had been stalking him like a predator to a prey, intercepted him, pointed their guns menacingly at him. The gun men were three in number. They forced him out of the driver’s seat and dragged him to the rear seat of the car. He was dispossessed of his Samsung Galaxy Edge phone, Laptops and cash sum of N45, 000. “The gang stripped him naked and drove him to Ajah/Epe road where he was thrown out of the car. The gang continued their journey until they
got to Ikoyi, opposite Southern Sun Hotel, where they sighted another Toyota Prado Jeep with Registration No. ABC- 853 LK, driven by Engineer Fidel Onwodi with his wife by his side. The couple parked to buy beef barbeque aka suya. The robbers moved from their position and parked the earlier stolen Toyota Prado Jeep beside Onwodi’s car at gun point; they ordered the couple to the rear seat of the car and drove off.” Edgal stated that while the suspects were going, Onwadi’s wife summoned courage and took advantage of slow traffic and jumped out of the vehicle while it was still in motion and escaped while the gang drove her husband to the middle of Third Mainland Bridge and dropped him. The suspects made away with Onwodi’s Toyota Prado Jeep while the Prado Jeep of their first victim was parked at a location on Babatunde Crescent,
Oniru Victoria Island from where it was recovered by the undercover operatives of the command. On how the suspects were arrested, the Commissioner of Police said, “After a careful analysis of intelligence information available to the command, the undercover operatives were activated and dispatched. Their efforts paid off on Sunday February 11th, when they intercepted the trans-border robbers at Mile 2 Expressway while on a mission to snatch another exotic car.“The suspects have also confessed to series of robbery operations in which exotic cars were snatched at gun points. They also confessed that Onwodi’s car is presently in Cotonou.” In his confessional statement, Akinola who acts as the spiritual head of the group, providing protective charms for them as well as crossing arms and ammunitions for them said, “They came to my place in Port-Novo to collect charms to protect themselves during robbery. I collected CFA 30,000 for the charm.

Judges, the law and our democracy Times Columnist
REUBEN ABATI
T ‘
The judiciary in spite of its travails remains, in our estimation, the only institution that is still relatively standing firm. When a proper stock-taking of this period in Nigerian history is done, it may well be discovered, that the judiciary was foremost in standing firm against intimidation.
’
o expand the democratic space in Nigeria and to ensure the legitimacy and stability of our democratic process, the rule of law, perhaps the supremacy of the law, anchored on constitutionalism and a progressive, liberal and developmental construction of the law, may be our best bargain, the latter in particular in the face of a seeming conversion of the democratic dispensation to a military regime. The judiciary, I mean the judex, is at the centre of this proposition. In more direct language, what I am trying to draw attention to is how in recent times, despite the fact that we are under a democratic dispensation, there has been a seeming militarization of the political space, by the incumbent political administration at the centre. The scope for human freedom has been reduced, the government of the day complains about hate speech but it is, ironically, the main author of hate language against the same people whose welfare and security it is supposed to safeguard. It is a government that is intolerant of the opposition and which has shown an inordinate capacity for malice, hypocrisy, and intimidation. This more or less sets the tone for everything else. This is the reason it has lost so much goodwill and why many of its committed supporters who dreamt of its potential messianism are regretting their own initial optimism. The last time Nigerians found themselves under this kind of siege was under military rule, and particularly under the rule of the same man who is now Nigeria’s incumbent President, a soldier turned civilian President. The militarization of the state in whatever form, compromises democratic ethos. We are in a democracy but the relevant institutions seem to be in disarray. The executive is at loggerheads with the legislature in Abuja. The judiciary has been harassed so much many of its members have been accused of corruption and thrown into the dock or disgraced out of service. We are therefore, in a local season of McCarthyism whereby every possible opposition figure is labeled a witch, a thief, and harassed or blackmailed. The only saints in Nigeria at the moment are those who join the ruling party, or who go to great lengths to heap the blame for all problems on the immediate past administration. In this typical season of opportunism and sycophancy, saints may become devils and vice versa, throwing the country into the vortex of a moral turpitude. But I single out the judiciary for qualified praise. The country’s judiciary has not escaped the harassment by an Executive wielding near-monarchical powers, even beyond the letters of the Constitution. Its members have been targeted for intimidation and harassment, and whereas it is true that there are bad eggs in every sector and that there are indeed rogue judges, the pattern of intervention in the judiciary on the grounds of the anti-corruption campaign smacks of a witch-hunt. But whereas legislators are divided, politi-
CJN Onnoghen cians are rushing to the ruling party in search of protection, and the civil society has been weighing its options, and everyone else seems to be seeking protection, the judiciary in spite of its travails remains, in our estimation, the only institution that is still relatively standing firm. When a proper stock-taking of this period in Nigerian history is done, it may well be discovered, that the judiciary was foremost in standing firm against intimidation. I once wrote a Man-of-the-Year piece in which the judiciary was specially commended for its efforts in protecting Nigerian democracy and the rule of law. This was during the tumultuous season of the protest against the annulment, by military fiat, of the outcome of the 1993 Presidential election, and the aftermath. Before then, the Nigerian judiciary during the Fatayi-Williams-Eso-Irikefe-OputaKaribi-Whyte era had spoken the truth from the Bench and sought to protect Fundamental Human Rights against assault by the then military establishment. Under the present dispensation, we may well be facing the third critical era of the judiciary in terms of its willingness or otherwise, to resist military-era like intimidation. Our emphasis is on the appellate courts, and the principle: “judicia posteriori sunt in lege fortiori”, that is “the later decisions are the strongest in law.” Whereas the High Courts of Nigeria have acquired a reputation for recklessness, and lack of thoroughness, the appellate courts have most recently served as a good advertisement for the appellate structure of the Nigerian judicial system. For a fact, the most celebrated cases relating to the nation-building and democratic system in recent times have been cases dealing with corruption and the travails of politically connected and exposed persons. Many of these cases, perfunctorily treated at the inferior courts level, have been thrown out at the appellate level, and in most instances what is projected is the supremacy of the law, even if the grounds may be technical. A rigorous review of such cases may slip into the error of pedantry and seem unsuitable for journalistic commentary but I find particularly interesting a recent case at the Court of Appeal, Lagos Judicial Division, re: Adaoha Ugo-Ngadi vs Federal Govt of Nigeria, presided over by their Lordships: Mohammed Lawal Garba JCA, Joseph Shagbaor Ikyegh, JCA, and Yargata Byenchit Nimpar, JCA. The appellant had been charged before and
tried by the High Court of Lagos State, along with two others on an eightcount charge including conspiracy to obtain by false pretence, obtaining by false pretence, conspiracy to forge documents, forgery, altering a false document, conspiracy to alter a false document and so on. On January 13, 2017, the applicant, who was 2nd defendant, along with the 1st defendant, was convicted of the offences charged while the 3rd defendant was discharged and acquitted. They were sentenced to a total of 69 years imprisonment to run concurrently in respect of each term for the respective offences. They were also required to return to the Federal Government of Nigeria the sum of N754.9 million being an overpayment for oil subsidy, purportedly due to their company, Ontario Oil and Gas Limited. The gravamen of this case is in relation to the right to fair hearing, as guaranteed in Section 36(1) and (4) of the 1999 Constitution. The right to fair hearing is a fundamental right in court proceedings and a major plank of our constitutional order. The apex court had however since ruled that it is nonetheless not a right that can be resorted to in a frivolous manner or as a magic wand. Having taken this into consideration, the Court of Appeal Lagos Division, in determining the merit of other issues in the case, upheld the rulings of the lower court on Counts 2-4, and duly found the applicant guilty, but the court raised a major constitutional issue when it turned the eyes of the law on the propriety of proceedings, and whether or not this constituted a breach of the Appellant’s right to fair hearing. Delivering the lead judgment, concurred to by his brother Justices, Mohammed Lawal Garba, JCA, observed: “The issue of the right of a party to fair hearing in a case is so fundamental and crucial in the conduct of all judicial proceedings of a court of law and the administration of justice generally because of its constitutional guarantee and so a substantive issue of law that can be raised in an appeal against the final and interlocutory decision of a High Court, sitting at first instance, as of right by dint of the provisions of Section 241(1) (a) and (b) of the Constitution as altered.” The key issue in this instance about the propriety of proceedings and fair hearing is whether or not a defendant must be present in court throughout the whole of his trial, and whether his or her absence in the event of a joint defendant would amount to a breach of
the principle or right of fair hearing. The applicant argued that the absence of her co-defendant at the lower court throughout the whole trial amounted to a denial of her right to fair hearing. The Court then held, relying on the decided cases of Adeoye vs State; State vs Lawal, Asakipiti v. State and Ogujubu v. State as well as Section 208 of the ACJL, 2011 to the effect that it is mandatory that a Defendant shall be present in court throughout the whole of his trial including the delivery of judgement and sentence by a trial court. Our take is that their Lordships in this case have taken a courageous stand in defence of the purity of the law, and in upholding the spirit of the law, and the constitution as the controlling force of state actions. Emotional and moralistic responses are beyond the purview of the law. When the judex insist on legal purity, especially under the prevailing circumstances in Nigeria, the standard response is for them to be exposed to blackmail and name-calling. But the judex would fail in their duty, in the face of routine assault on fundamental rights, if they submit to the logic of the herd. Where fundamental rights are involved, it is better and more useful for the purpose of expanding the democratic space to intervene on a positive note. The case cited is not the only one of its type under the present dispensation; consider for example, the Orubebe case, the El Zakzaky case and the Dasuki case. Here as in other cases, we see the judiciary, as the Third Estate of The Realm, resisting the attempt to cage and intimidate it by a partisan Federal Establishment. The grant of bail in the last two cases for example have been recklessly ignored nonetheless, and this is one other reason I speak of qualified praise. It is the duty of judges to always stand up against the pretensions of the King, particularly as the prosecutorial agencies appear to be busy dancing to the body language of the King. While the judiciary may be making some effort, more at the appellate level, in reaffirming its independence, even if through the protection of the purity of the law, the same cannot be said of the lawyers in the court of law. Every lawyer is expected and enjoined to be an officer in the temple of justice. But sadly, Nigerian lawyers either due to lack of diligence or slavishness to other interests beyond equity and justice, compromise the propriety of proceedings. It is the reason judges must remain vigilant, to avoid interpreting the law after the fashion of the moment and to state the general principles of the law in accordance with the facts of every case and to refuse to be intimidated. They must be mindful all the same of the boundaries between equity and the threshold of substantial justice. The case under review sheds more light on the existing jurisprudence on the constitutional right to fair hearing. It remains to be seen whether or not the Federal Government will further challenge it at the apex court. Whatever happens, our qualified praise need not be limited to the Appellate Courts, it is the entire judiciary despite the limitations of the moment, that must rise above the routine handling of cases, narrow-mindedness and other constraints to fully demonstrate its independence, on the Bench and away from it. Elections are around the corner; certainly there will be Constitutional issues ahead that will seriously test the integrity of our courts. The ordinary man will expect that our judges will deliver justice without being intimidated by anyone’s body language.

ANAN lauds Gov Ugwuanyi on peace, good governance
Moses Oyediran, Enugu
ÏÏÏ
The Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) has commended Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for the remarkable successes his administration has recorded in the state despite “the harsh economic climate” in the country. Speaking when a delegation of the national leadership of the association paid a courtesy visit to the Government House, Enu-
gu, in company of members of its state branch, the president of the body, Alhaji Shehu Usman Ladan, applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for ensuring peace and security in the state as well as regular payment of workers’ salaries and pensions. Alhaji Ladan, who informed Gov. Ugwuanyi that the body was in Enugu for the first session of its 2018 Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) programme, which was eventually declared open by the governor yesterday,
said that “one of the greatest achievements of Your Excellency is the peace and security in the state”. The ANAN president stressed that the governor empowered the security operatives by “procuring a good number of vehicles for them to operate” adding that “money was made available to reactivate the activities of vigilante groups in all the communities”. He disclosed that the measures have ensured the security of lives and property in the state, expressing delight that the governor
pays salaries and pensions and “has been able to pay inherited arrears of workers’ salaries and gratuities, thereby putting smiles on their faces”. The body also lauded Gov. Ugwuanyi on his commitment and belief in qualitative, affordable and inclusive education, revealing that “despite the dwindling income” the governor has made concerted efforts to reposition the state’s education system by improving the standard of learning through the implementation of his administration’s 4-point
agenda. He said: “This government renovated, rehabilitated and re-equipped primary and secondary schools in the state, which were in deplorable state. Your Excellency recruited over 2000 primary school teachers through Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board to improve the standard of teaching and learning in the state. “Your Excellency has taken giant stride to reposition tertiary education in the state by upgrading the Institute of Management and Technology
(IMT), Enugu to a degree awarding institution and released hundreds of millions of Naira to the institution to enable it meet the accreditation needs of its courses. Similar gestures were also extended to other tertiary institutions in the state”. On health, Alhaji Ladan appreciated the Ugwuanyi administration for, among others, sustaining the Free Maternal Health Care programme and equipping and staffing of the existing health institutions in the state, stating that the sector has received “a breath of fresh air”.

State Police Command has arrested a 6 man syndicate that specialised in robbing Lagosians of their mobile phones and turning over its SIM cards to hackers who get hold of the account details of its owners and transfer its balances to their accounts. Parading the group on Tuesday, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal disclosed that the syndicate comprised of three splinter groups visiting choice locations in the state to rob members of the public of their phones. He stated that six suspects have been arrested by the Decoy Team of Rapid Response Squad of the command in relation to the fraud. He noted that the group handed over the SIMs to another set of people that would through special com-
puter apps get the bank account details of the owners and thereafter get the account balances. Edgal added that the balance of the account is now transferred into different accounts sourced by another set of suspects. According to the Commissioner, Nwanze Ifeanyi (27), Martins Achi (27) and Solomon Dike (31) rob people of their phones and fleed the scene on motor cycle. He stated that Muritala Mohammed (28) a.k.a Swallow through computer apps retrieved the names, bank details of the original owner of the SIM including BVN, adding that the recovered details are used to determine the account balance. “Moneys in the account are transferred into different accounts sourced by the third group involving Shamson Mustapha (25)
and Ali Hassan (27)”, Edgal added. He revealed that the activities of the group were brought to the attention of the Decoy Team of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) when they stole the phone of one Yinka at a birthday party in Egbeda area. He added that he worked on the phone’s SIM card and transferred N1, 153,000:00 from her FCMB account into the following accounts: FCMB – Account number 1888032010 belongs to Ikechukwu Enyadike; Diamond Bank – Account number 00706675464 belonging to Oyinuro Victor and UBA – Account number 2096578968 belonging to Joseph Blessing Benita. The owner of the account only got to know of the transactions when she inserted the replaced SIM into a new phone. He further disclosed that
further investigations into the activities of the group revealed that the gang also transferred N120, 000:00 from the Diamond account 2000050986 belonging to one Chima Mbakwe of No.3, BM Anyawu Close, Iba New Site. According to Muritala Muhammed, an SS 2 drop out of Ojo High Secondary School, Lagos, he started hacking into bank accounts of people in June 2017. He said he learnt it from Google. “My first hit was N20, 000:00 and the banks accounts that I hack are UBA, GTB and Access bank. All the SIMs that I have worked on should be up to 47”, he added. He alleged that family pressure led him into the act as his former place of work where he earned N21, 000 could not meet his family need as the first of four children.
the invasion of the runway of Akure Airport by herdsmen and their cows last week, which disrupted landing of an Akure bound Air Peace aircraft for several minutes, members of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), have expressed their readiness to lend a helping hand to ensure security of lives of passengers using the airport. Ondo state coordinator of OPC, Comrade Pius Ogunsanya who disclosed this to newsmen in Akure on Tuesday, noted that if the trend of grazing cows on the airport tarmac continues, many passengers would abandon the port to seek alternative routes to their destinations and this will portend danger to the economy of the state. Ogunsanya urged the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to intensify effort at providing security at the airport for both passengers and airline operators, stressing that the OPC will volunteer help where and when necessary to forestall further occurrence of the ugly incident. He however warned the general public in the state of a particular impostor, one Olayemi Agboola who had been parading himself as coordinator of OPC in the state, adding that “my attention has been drawn to a news item published in some national newspapers wherein an impostor, Olayemi Agbeola claimed to be speaking as Ondo State Coordinator of OPC over a sensitive security issue of herdsmen and farmers clashes. “I wish to put the re-
cord straight and clear all misgivins that OPC in Ondo has Comrade Pius Ogunsanya as the authentic coordinator under the leadership of Aare Ona Kakanfo Gani Adams. We therefore, use this medium to appeal to our friends in the media in the state to always cross check their facts and figures before going to Press in order not to mis- inform the general public and to avoid unnecessary security threat and breakdown of law and order. “The said Olayemi Egbeola has no right or directive of any higher authority in the OPC to speak on behalf of the group or any group whatsoever. We therefore call on our security operatives in the state to immediately arrest the impostor for questioning to avert further misrepresentation of this magnitude which might lead to violent clash between peaceful groups”. Ogunsanya stated that though, the group is aware of the present of the other faction of OPC in the state led by Dr. Fredrick Faseun, but “the said Olayemi Egbeola need more than Press statement in newspapers to prove his leadership of the faction because another person occupied the position before now.” According to him, “The OPC, with whatever faction or group attached, has been talking with one voice and one accord which has since, put paid to the incessant clashes and rivalry, but it must be clearly stated anytime such statement or news item is being published so as not to confuse the general public or causes bad blood between the two factions which has been operating as brothers.”

Wole Soyinka, architect of Ozubulu Church disciplined Road Safety Corps - IBB massacre:
Saka Bolaji, Minna
ÎÎÎ
Noble laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has been described as the architect of a disciplined, firm and committed Federal Road Safety Corps. Former military president General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) made this known in Minna Niger state on Monday night in a “Message of Goodwill on the 30th Anniversary of the Federal Road Safety Corps” released to media houses. “Our administration summoned Professor Soyinka to higher national service as the founding Corps Marshall of the FRSC. I am proud to say that the basic foundation of discipline, firmness and commitment to humanitarian service was laid at this initial
period. “No doubt, subsequent leaderships of the FRSC have brought to the organization glaring innovations, increased zeal and heightened commitment” General Babangida further said in the statement. He recalled that before the formation of the FRSC the carnage on Nigeria’s highways had become “unacceptable” adding that It was then a matter of serious concern to Nigerians and “indeed the international community”. General Babangida said his administration had to take the initiative by drawing from the experience in the old Oyo state. He was particularly happy that the organisation had been able to weather the storm and remain afloat these 30 years.
“In a national environment where institutions tend to be short lived and rise or fall with the fortunes of changing dispensations, it is gratifying that the FRSC is one institution that has weathered the storm of changing times and administrations “Not only has it survived, it has indeed grown into a permanent feature of our national landscape. Throughout the length and breadth of our nation, the presence of FRSC officers and operatives on our highways reassures our travelling public and reinforces the belief that we are all united in the commitment to prevent or at least significantly reduce the loss of lives on our roads and highways”. The former military president was also happy
that the size of the corps had increased in line with the increase in the national population and the volume of traffic on the roads adding that the national spread and presence of the organisation could now be felt all over our country. “Even those who initially doubted its necessity and efficacy can now testify to the drastic reduction in Nigeria’s road traffic accidents and therefore the attendant casualties. “We all ought to be proud that the negative publicity that our high road traffic accident rates and casualty figures used to attract is no longer a concern” he said. General Babangida congratulated the FRSC for what he described as “their worthy achievements over the years” and charged them to keep the flag flying.

Matters arising By Moses Oyediran, Enugu
ÎÎÎ
At last the trial of the case about shooting spree at Saint Phillips Catholic Church in Ozubulu on August 6, 2017 commenced at Anambra State High Court sitting in Nnewi presided over by F.I. Aniukwu. In the ugly incident no fewer than 13 people were killed while 11 others were wounded. Those facing trial are: Great Chinedu Akpunonu, 44; Vincent Ike, 57; Chukwudi Ugwu, 30, and Onyebuchi Mbanefo, 46. Other suspects are said to be at large. They were arraigned on February 9, 2018 on 24 count charge in Suit No: HN/36C/2017 bothering on complicity, murder and attempted murder; after the first arraignment on January 29, failed due to the inability of the prosecution counsel to produce both the accused and witnesses in court on the said date. But on February 9, the case commenced. The four accused pleaded not guilty when the charges were read out to them. The prosecution presented two witnesses out four expected in the case. Ernest Chukwuka, a retired director in the Federal Ministry of Information and former president general of Ozubulu development union was the first to mount the witness box. Chukwuka told the court that a few days after the church massacre one Quintus Anayo (alias Obasanjo) based in South Africa came to Ozubulu and informed the elders of the town that two prisoners in South Africa; Prince Charles Obi (a.k.a. Gozila) and Dickson Nwodi (a.k.a. Afam) claimed responsibility of the incident. According to Chukwuka, they vowed that there
would be more attacks if their financial demands were not met. This revelation, he said prompted him to draw the attention of the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Garba Umar who later addressed a press conference. The Commissioner of Police’s statement read in part, “Two indigenes of Anambra State from Nnobi and Oba LGAs respectively, currently serving prison terms in South Africa for murder, have taken responsibility for the attack. They vowed that there will be more attacks if their financial demands, which were not disclosed, made of certain persons are not met. They mandated one Quintus Anayo (alias Obasanjo) based in South Africa to come to Ozubulu and inform the elders of the town of this threat”. Chukwuka said the town union then invited 30 of their indigenes residing in South Africa to find a way of resolving the problem. One those invited was Chinedu Akpunonu, first accused, who demanded for adequate security before he could honour the invitation. Under cross examination by Festus Keyamo (SAN) counsel to the first defendant, Chukwuka admitted that the accusation against Akpunonu was based on speculation. He also admitted that he made a similar allusion in his statement at the police headquarters because he was not sure of Akpunonu’s involvement in the massacre. The second witness Chukwujekwu Eze from Ugbawka in Nkanu East local government area of Enugu state claimed knowledge prior to the date of the incident. He said he had lived in South Africa for 11 years as an illegal immigrant before has was eventually repatriated.
Niger PDP berates APC over fraud, recycling old defectors Faults touted 34,000 defectors
Saka Bolaji Minna
ÎÎÎ
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Niger state chapter, has described as fraudulent , the recycling of former PDP members who had earlier left the opposition party immediately after the 2015 general elections. The PDP on Monday also carpeted the ruling
All Progressives Congress over its claim that 34,000 members of its party defected to the APC at the “Unity Rally” held last Saturday saying the crowd at the trade fair complex where the rally was held was not up to the figure bandied. Tanko Beji the state chairman of the party said the APC went about “recycling people” to show that they had
gained more converts to their fold. Addressing a news conference in Minna Tanko Beji said it was sad that those that joined the APC way back in 2015 and were unveiled at the Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre that year were still paraded as new defectors. “ I don’t believe 35,000 people defected that
day, you couldn’t have had 35,000 at that Trade Fair Complex, the crowd there was not more than 10,000, some of them were even rented.” He specifically singled out the former deputy chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Yusuf Aminu, from among those that defected saying: “We expected this to happen, he was discovered to be a mole that is why we suspended him from our party. “We did a house clearing we saw him as a
mole he was more of a liability than asset. “Anybody who stands for nothing can fall for anything” Tanko Beji declared adding that some of those that defected “ have no principles, they are in politics because of what they can get they cannot withstand the heat”. The PDP chieftain who declared that the state working committee of the party was intact contrary to the claim by the APC said “ our party is
intact our party is waxing stronger and stronger”. However the All Progressives Congress also on Monday insisted that 34, 838 PDP members defected to the APC but said “we did not present 34,000 people on the stage last Saturday”. The Party Secretary Alhaji Mohammad Liman said: “Those you saw were high profile defectors, some local governments have 2,000 defectors”.

UniAbuja SSANU seeks NASS intervention over strike
Augustine Okezie,Abuja
The leadership of the University of Abuja chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has called for the intervention of the National Assembly into the 2-month-old industrial action embarked upon by the members of the Joint Action Committee (JAC), comprising SSANU, NASU, and SSANU, over the refusal of the Federal Government to reach agreement with the union over the is-
sue of sharing the earned allowances between the union an ASUU The leader of the university chapter of SSANU, Malam Hassan Shallangwa, who presented the letter requesting the intervention of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, through his Special Assistant Media and Publicity, Mr. Turaki Hassan, said the intervention of NASS has become increasingly urgent in view of the non-challant attitude of the Federal Government on the matter, and the near collapse of academic activities in federal varsities nation-
wide He said: ’’The Federal Government, through its relevant Ministers has refused to dialogue with the union and are pretending that all is well in our campuses, but we believe that it’s only the national assembly that can call them to order in the interest of Nigerian Education’’ ‘’The strike action we embarked upon since December 4 last year has been crippling almost all activities on our campuses, yet government remained passive about it’’. Recall that he National President
(SSANU) and Chairman JAC, Samson Ugwoke, had while announcing the decision to embark on the action, said it was in response to the failure of the Federal G overnment to honour the 10-points agreement reached with them on September 20, 2017. Ugwoke said: “You will recall that we addressed a press conference on September 21, 2017, where we informed you that in one months’ time, we shall be reviewing the level of compliance with the agreement and shall not hesitate to resume the strike action if government reneges
on the agreements reached or delays in any aspects. It was following that press conference, that we directed our members to resume work on September 25, 2017. The JAC leader, who also declared the union’s dismay that the N23 billion paid in by government has been cornered to be a payment for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) ‘’for their so-alled Earned Academic Allowances”, left the three non-teaching staff unions with N4.6 billion (11 per cent), as earned allowance.
Don recommends family counselors for conquering psychological virus Esther Taiwo A Professor of Counselling Psychology, Department of Psychology, College of Leadership Development Studies, Covenant University owned by The Living Faith Church, in Otta Ogun State, Professor Abiodun Gesinde, has recommended family counselors that will diagnose the existence of Psychological virus in families among other professional responsibilities. The don stated this while delivering the 13th inaugural lecture of Covenant University titled “Psychological Virus Undermining Children and Adolescents’ Development: The Antiviral in Counseling Psychology held at the University chapel in Otta. According to him, psychological abuse is one of the forms of children and adolescents abuses considered to be a consequence of physical and sexual abuses but now understood to be a distinct form of abuse. He said victims of psychological abuse tend to manifest a number of observable symptoms such as in babies and preschool children who are emotionally abused or neglected may be overtly affectionate towards strangers or people they haven’t known for a very long time. Others include lack of confidence or become wary or anxious, be aggressive or nasty towards other children and animals. “Psychological abusers employ two major tactics to exert their controlling power over their victims of abuse which are neglectful and deliberate tactics. In neglectful tactics, the abuser withholds normal human interaction while in deliberate tactics the abuser employs more aggressive forms of control “, he said. The lecturer proposed that there are seven dimensions of emotional maltreatment that are culturally relevant to black race which are psychologically destructive. They are: Emotional Isolation, Emotional Degradation, Emotional Exploitation and Emotional Rejection.

Experts stress importance of personal mastery
Esther Taiwo
At a workshop that could best be described as starstudded organised by Nigeria chapter of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), the importance of self discovery and mastery was again brought to the fore as musical artistes, Nollywood actors and motivational speakers who have distinguished themselves in their career gathered to brainstorm on the issue. Peaking at the event, NLP Nigeria Programme Director, Mr. Rajiv Sharma said the importance of personal mastery cannot be overemphasised because to achieve public victory and goals, we need to achieve personal mastery. According to him, the essence of the workshop is to assist professionals in Nigeria to discover their strength and stay focused to their goals which will help them attain success. Mrs. Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, a motivational speaker and founder of Rise Networks, said the programme will help people develop their personal strength and rise
above the challenges of life. “The challenges confronting the country is not peculiar to Nigeria alone, it’s everywhere and that is why it’s not enough an excuse for this generation to fail”, she said. She also stressed that although the educational system of Nigeria does not prepare the youths for real life challenges, there is need for self development, thus the essence of personal mastery. The Rise Network CEO said personal mastery has to do with the nature of mind discipline and will power, adding that at every stage of people’s lives, they need to learn, relearn and unlearn. She stressed that the day people stop learning, then they start dying gradually. “To unleash the tremendous power reserves which currently sleep within you, it is critical that you first become aware of the nature of the mind. The first step to personal mastery and successful living is to learn how to run your mind like a winner “, she said. One of the participants, Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board (LASTVEB), Mrs. Omolara Erogbogbo, said the pro-
gramme is really thought provoking and helps one to know who he/ she really is, one’s capability and to know what to do at the right time, at the right place. She said Nigeria has good educational institutions but what people lack is self mastery, adding that the way people interpret education affects other people’s perception about them. ‘For instance, technical education is seen by many people as education for push overseas whereas it is for those who want to develop their skills and make use of it. If you attend any institution and you don’t make proper use of the skills you have acquired and proof yourself in the midst of others, they will look down on you”, she said. The LASTVEB boss said the programme has developed her more in planning, setting goals and implementing them adding that her plan henceforth is to take technical education in Lagos State to the next level. “Technical education in Lagos State should not be where it is today, students need more industrial exposure to world techniques, tools and equipment, government alone can-
not do it, that is why we are calling on industries and multinationals to partner with government in this aspect”, she said. Other speakers at the event includeed music star, Sound Sultan, Nollywood actrrsses, Lillian Esoro and Toyin Abraham among others. Sound Sultan gave six steps to Personal Mastery that is helping him move from one success to another. He shared his life experiences and stories. Lilian Esoro discussed the Power of Excercise and Magic of Diet. Participants learned the healthy habits of staying fit and eating balanced food. Toyin Abraham discussed how to become Unstoppable in life. She mentioned every time she achieved a goal, she sets another one for future. Miss Toyin Abraham looking at Oscars in future, said she wants to take Nollywood to next level with collaboration with other like minded people. Another highlight of the Personal Mastery with NLP seminar was yoga that made everyone so relaxed and calm.

He appealed to people of goodwill to contribute to the development of the university by setting up endowment funds, and by building hostels, classrooms, office blocks, workshops, laboratories and by donating vehicles, chairs, stools, bookshelf, among others to the university. His said: “Our new College Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering are in need of equipment. We need hostels for students, workshops, laboratories, and other facilities that will make for a modern university of the twenty-first century,” he said, adding that “it is time to build. “Come join hands with us to build this university for humanity and posterity and think less of what to take from FUNAI. Benefits should be after responsibility; but we seem to be dealing with a generation of persons imbued with the tragedy of the commons, who want to take and never give back,” he appealed.

Reps inaugurate 7-man c’ttee on killings, insecurity Henry Omunu, Abuja
ÏÏÏThe
House of Representatives on Tuesday inaugurated a 7-man ad hoc committee to investigate the root causes of the incessant killings and general state of insecurity in several parts of the country. Headed by the House Deputy Whip, Rep. Pally Iriase represents an opportunity by the House to demonstrate its concern for the spate of wanton killings and endless shedding of blood and proffer lasting solution to the ugly development. Rep. Pally Iriase, who spoke with journalists, stated that to achieve its objectives the ad hoc committee has adopted a four- point strategy
towards achieving the set objective. The House, he added, is aware of efforts by other organs and agencies of government to tackle the problem of incessant killings and other security concerns. “But these efforts, while still ongoing are being impacted by straitlaced narratives, political innuendos and ethoreligious distrust. “In fact, some of these strait-faced narratives have tended to ascribe all the killings to a single cause, thus jettisoning the need to rigorously interrogate the happenings with an open, unbiased and non-partisan mind,” he stated. The deputy whip disclosed that the committee shall visit and interact with victims,
security chiefs, interface with foreign partners as well as conduct of a public hearing to garner public perception on the killings which will form the basis the committee’s intelligence gathering mechanism. “We will visit a number of carefully selected areas that have been attacked severally, interact with the victims, survivors and other critical stakeholders in the effort to get to the root causes of the ugly development,” he added. He pledged that the committee would approach the important national assignment with an open mind bearing in mind that it is only in an atmosphere of peace that all endeavour of human life, including politics can progress. Rep. Iriase, added
that since the House interacted with service chiefs at a closed session last year, the House had not folded its arms but has engaged in further interface with the security chiefs, but owing to the security nature of their discussions, decisions taken are usually not for opublic consumption. “The House hasn’t been docile over security situation in the nation as it had been meeting with service chiefs and heads of security agencies on ways you put an end to the killings and attacks. “This is a new approach by the House to get to the root causes of the attacks and proffer lasting solutions. Our report will eventually be sent to the presidency,” Rep. Iriase added.
Federal Inland Revenue Services, FIRS and the Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, BIR Tuesday swooped on the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike over nonremittance of N120, 756, 998.28 tax. On Monday, the Abia State BIR had allegedly sealed the senate building, while the next day, Tuesday, the officials of FIRS were in the school to seal the same senate building only to see that the Abia BIR had sealed the same property. According to the state High Court: “Warrant and authority to levy distress on a tax payer/payee upon his goods, chattels, premises, etc under Abia state board of Internal Revenue, Law No 7 of 2008”, the sum of N120, 756, 998.28 “became due to the Abia State Revenue Services and the defendant did not make remittance within the time limited by the demand notice.
This caused tension in the school as staff, management and students of the school were seen confused and jittery while the closure lasts. Contrary to what the university’s Public Relations Officer, Adanma Odefa told reporters, a staff who chose to speak on condition of anonymity, disclosed that as at 5.00 pm, the school was still sealed off, especially as it is a court matter. According to the source, the university authorities had stopped students from breaking open the sealed senate building. However, when contacted, the university PRO confirmed that the school was actually sealed but had been unsealed and further attempts to get more details from her proved abortive. It will be recalled that this is the first time such is happening to the school since inception in 1991. All attempts to get the reaction of the Vice Chancellor proved abortive as the line was not engaging any calls.

They included driver of the compactor, Oloruntele Adekunle, and three others. The company was said
to have its office at No 1A, Kudirat Abiola Way, Old Oregun Road, Ikeja. The latest arrest brought the number of PSP operators arrested for similar offence in the last one week to five, while hundreds of cart pushers and wheel barrow operators had equally been arrested for dumping waste in public places and canals in various parts of the state. The state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, in a statement, said the arrest was a clear confirmation of the suspicion of government that the new environmental waste management policy encapsulated in the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI), was being sabotaged by vested interests.
He said: “A PSP operator was caught along Lagos Island Central Business District discharging refuse on the street. He was arrested by security operatives in the middle of the night which shows the institutional corruption that has been lingering in the sector which the state government intends to fight with the reforms put in place. “The arrest of the PSP operator is a clear example of the deliberate efforts to sabotage what the state government is doing. The PSP operators are not being driven out of their businesses with the reforms as they are making the public to believe. “Under CLI, the government has made provision for the PSP operators to
handle collection of commercial waste and there are over 15,000 companies in Lagos that can serve the over 200 PSP operators in the State. So far, the CLI has been able to get over 50,000 new employees out of the labour market “The government has also stressed itself by getting N2.5billion loan to enable the PSP operators buy equipment to be more competitive. These are the things they can key into than blackmailing government. The whole idea is to build local capacity in order to employ more of our unemployed youth,” Bamigbetan said. He said the PSP operator arrested last week in Mushin area of the State
had already been charged to court with the case adjourned to February 26, while the latest suspect would be paraded during the week by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), and subsequently charged to court. He said it was unfortunate that some PSP operators were allowing vested interests to use them to blackmail government into abandoning the reforms designed to revolutionize waste management in the state in line with global best practices, and that it would not succumb to such blackmail. “The PSP operators are being used by those fighting against the reforms the government is putting in place.
The Cleaner Lagos Initiative is part of the measures to fight institutional corruption in the system which the government is determined to eradicate. “The government will not be blackmailed into abandoning the right thing for the people. Overtime, the Lagos State Government has carried out reforms in the Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LATSMA), among others and the State Government is committed to ensuring that the corruption in the waste management system is stamped out.

Edo LG Poll: We‘ll not rig election - G´ ov Obaseki Titus Akhigbe,Benin
ÏÏÏGovernor
Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has tasked candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the March 3 local government election in the State, to work hard to earn and justify their victory at the polls. This is even as he restated that the Council election will not be rigged in favour of candidates of the APC. Obaseki gave his words of assurance recently at the party’s official flag-off of campaigns ahead of the
local government election, held at Iguobazuwa, administrative headquarters of Ovia South West local government area. He said it was pertinent to restate his words, in view of allegations by opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who alleged that the results of the election have already been written at the Government House in Benin. Obaseki who was represented by his Special Adviser on political matters, Chief Osaro Idah, tasked candidates and members
of the party in the LGA to work hard to earn and justify the victory in the election. “This election is over. But, note, we are not going to rig. That you won your units before, we must commend all of you that you have done good jobs. But henceforth, it is when you win those wards and units where the party won before, “Nobody should say that since PDP say they are not contesting in the election, then he will not work hard to get votes. You must win your units to be participants
in government. Nobody will labour for you. It is where you sow that you will reap,” he said. Earlier in his speech, the State Chairman of the party, Barr. Anslem Ojezua, said that PDP’s decision to boycott the election is as good as signing its death certificate. He said: “For the PDP to say they are boycotting the local government election, they have signed their death certificate. “Every politician knows that local government election is the most important election in the lives of his
Tension in Bayelsa community over NSCDC shooting of vigilante member Chris Eze, Yenagoa
ÏÏÏFear of
reprisal has heightened at Ikarama Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State as youths of the community protest the shooting of a neighborhood watch member by a team of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) in the early hours of Tuesday. As at the time of this report, the youths were said to have mobilized, and barricaded the road to the Okordia manifold, operated by the Shell Petroleum Development Company Ltd, where the NSCDC men are said to be keeping guard. Our correspondent learnt that the NSCDC team had arrested a female suspect in place of the hus-
band and an argument with the local vigilance group led to the shooting. A youth leader in the area, Mr Ben Warder said that the victim Perekurofa Odoyibo was shot twice on the arm and leg by the Civil Defence men who had taken custody of female suspect when the husband was not available. “The local vigilance team noticed the NSCDC van at about 3 am and was trying to find out why they had to take away a woman who is having children under care for an offense supposedly committed by the husband. “They shot one of them and sped off with the woman they had arrested. “They came from the oilfield in Ikarama operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company, and

that is why the youths got mobilized and blocked the road to the Okordia manifold. “So this morning, the youths subsequently mobilized to protest the use of security men to molest oil communities, this is because we learnt that the arrest is linked to an oil spill incident,” the youth leader said. In an interview, the wife to the victim, Rebacca Odoyibo regretted that her husband was shot and left in a pool of his blood and has been in pains for hours. She said that the incident has thrown the entire family and dependants into confusion. Said the woman, “Look at what they did to my husband who volunteered for the community vigilance work, he is there in pains and we lack the resources to take him to the hospital and we resorted to local treatment for economic reasons”. However, Mr Orukari
Udoji whose wife , Deborah was arrested by the NSCDC team said that he was out in the forests for his timber lumbering work when the NSDC stormed his residence and took away his wife. Udoji said, “I am at a loss on what to do because I do not even have an idea of where they took her to, and as we speak I don’t even have money to pay transport to go in search. “Everybody in this community knows that I do timber work and by the time they came I was in the bush working and they claimed that there was an oil spill in the bush near where I felled some timber,” he said. Reacting to the incident, Mr. Godwin Nwachukwu, Bayelsa Commandant of the NSCDC said in a telephone chat that he received a report of the incident and immediately assigned his men to find out ‘what exactly happened’. “As we speak, the matter is being investigated, the preliminary investigation will guide us on the next step,” Nwachukwu said. Meanwhile, sources in the community said that at about 1 pm, the NSCDC team reinforced and returned to the community shooting indiscriminately and arresting people in the area.
people. For any political leader to say he will not contest the local government election, it means the person is very selfish. “Experienced politicians know that there is nothing like small election. Every election must be taken seriously. Very soon, they some people will begin to say that they want to go to House of Assembly, they want to contest for Senate, but they don’t care about us in the local government.” Ojezua described Ovia South West as the most gender-friendly local govern-
ment area in the state, for electing three female councillorship candidates. In his vote of thanks in behalf of the, the APC Chairmanship candidate, Comrade Destiny Enabulele, thanked the leaders and members of the party for the confidence reposed in the candidates, which he said they will not betray. Comrade Enabulele and the 10 Chairmanship candidates, which include three females, were thereafter presented with the party’s flag and brooms.

Abara will be in charge of the Minna club pending the appointment of a new technical adviser.

PYEONCHANG: Nigeria’s bobsled’s team makes historic debut N igeria’s Bobsled Team of Seun Adigun and Omeoga Akuoma debuted in style at the Pyeonchang 2018 Winter Olympics, when they recorded a personal best of 52.21 seconds, to become the first athletes from an African nation to compete in Women’s Bobsled, on Tuesday. Adigun led as driver, while Akuoma was brakeman as they achieved the feat in only their first run, a few days after compatriot; Simidele Adeagbo
made history as the first Nigerian and African woman to compete in Winter Olympic Games. Team Captain, Adigun, expressed satisfaction with the performance. “The natural competitor in me obviously would want to be sitting in first place. But one thing that people need to understand is the biggest teacher in this sport is time and time is not something that we’ve had lot of. And we’ve been able to make and maximize the most to the extent
where we almost had a full second fastest time that we’ve ever pushed on this track. From the push all the way to the finish time. “And I think that is a testament to what it means to be resilient, dedicated and committed. The model that we went by today was to give everything and we gave everything. Ahead of the two races, on Wednesday, she added: “There is always more to give. It’s a huge learning curve and everyday I’m getting stron-
ger. As long as we are on the ice, we are going to improve,” she said after the race. Speaking on their historic feat, Akuoma said: “Feels absolutely amazing. My adrenalin was extremely high before we started the race and I was really anxious and ready to go. After we finished the first heat, I was extremely happy about that as it was the best time we’ve had on the track. “I think it’s just a huge moment because this is the time that I’m finally
able to reflect on the journey. The biggest challenge is the learning curve and to try better time.” The duo returned a time of 52:55 seconds in their run. Also present to boost support for the team was Minister of Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalong, who had earlier wished the team well before the race. On Wednesday, they will compete in the second run of women’s Bobsled.

KOICA Model School: FCTA conducts last training for elite teachers Stories by Idu Jude, Abuja
ÏÏÏThe Federal Capital Territory
The Abuja
T E A M
Administration (FCTA) in collaboration with the Korea Government has conducted the last in the series of trainings scheduled for 150 selected teachers and administrators who would man the model school. Known as KOICA Model School, the mult-ibillion naira facility, which is composed of a junior secondary and primary school, was built by the Republic of Korea and donated to the FCTA. Delivering a lecture on the theme: “Development and operations of the KOICA model school”, at the school premises in Abuja last week, Education Secretary, Sen. Isah Maina tasked the ‘elite teachers’ and administrators to justify
the confidence reposed in them by choosing them out of the many for this project. The Secretar,y who was represented by the FCTA Director, Policy, Research and Statistics, Mrs. Theresa Mbonu, stated that the objective of the school was to provide a symbol of national unity, increase accessibility of good student and also provide a leading model for public schools in the country. Speaking about who qualifies to be admitted into the school, Maina said that it was an opportunity for the poor who are naturally endowed to have access to education, adding that the training was meant to bring about interaction with administrators and teachers on good practices. The training provided the oppor-

tunity to intimate the administrators and teachers of the FCTA’s plan for the management and operators, as well as get suggestions on issues of concern, among others. The lecture also provided focus points for the operation of the school, including staying within the confirms of national policy on education, Universal Basic Education Act, FCT strategic operational education sector plan and design of school operations manual. Other areas the school was asked to focus on include use of effective school bus system, teacher professional development and motivation as well as a good community relations. Director, Administration and Finance, Education Secretariat, Mrs. Eunice Nneka Ugochukwu assured the teachers that the FCTA was behind them, saying: “we will not let you down. You too must not let us down. We will maintain the school, in line with the global standard.” FCT Universal Basic Education
Board (UBEB) Director, Dr. Adamu Noma, reminded the teachers and administrators of daunting challenges they would face, which was why special training was given them. Noma, however warned that “whatever that will be done in the school must be within the ambiance of UBEB, which is free and excellent.” On the side of quality of the institution, Director of Quality Assurance, Mr. Ayuba Dedan, noted that the quality selected for the school was high, adding that “we will use the standard of education in our schools here.” Furthermore, Dedan warned: “We hope not to find any teacher wanting. We will ensure the purpose of this school is achieved. We want you to maintain this standard, no defacing of structure, because it is a place for change. We will do everything within our purview to the goal of this school.”
Directorate of Roads Traffic Services (DRTS) in the Federal Capita Territory has warned members of the National Union of Roads Transport Workers (NURTW), Nasarawa State chapter, to desist from flouting Federal Capital Territory (FCT)’s traffic regulations. Speaking during a visit to the Mabushi headquarters of the directorate by NURTW leaders, the Director, DRTS, Alhaji Wadata Bodinga, said there is nowhere in Nigeria where drivers do not know that mini-buses are banned in FCT city centre and wondered why operators in Nasarawa State, the closest neighbour to FCT, claim ignorance of the age-long policy. Chairman of the state’s union, Mr. Edeyi Bernard, had come to DRTS office to complain about what he called ‘’arbitrary arrest and impounding’’ of his members’ buses, claiming that he was not aware that Toyota Coaster buses were among vehicles banned in Abuja city centre. “If any other state chapter of your union can make such claim, it is not supposed to be those of you in Nasarawa State, who are FCT’s closest neighbours. I’m quite aware that Nasarawa was one of the states that got the notice at the earliest time the policy was about to be implemented in the FCT,” Bodinga stated. Bodinga further explained that it is only in FCT’s satellite towns that such capacity of vehicle is allowed to operate, emphasising that operating in any other place amounts to a breach of regulation and such operator will not go unpunished in line with the provisions of the regulator. “For the mini-buses coming into Abuja through Nasarawa, they are expected to turn at the Nyanya bridge as any of the operators who go beyond the bridge will be deemed to have flouted the order and the vehicle must be impounded and later made to pay the stipulated fine”, the Director stressed. He also explained that those driving into Abuja from the other parts of the northern and southern axis are to terminate their journey at Zuba or move to Nyanya terminal through the Outer Northern Expressway (ONEX). After listening to the Director, Mr. Bernard promised to write an undertaking to the Transport Secretary for his members to pay any fine that may follow their misdemeanor.

FCTA orders private schools to prioritse security, safety of pupils
Stories by Idu Jude, Abuja
ÏÏÏThe Federal Capital Territory
Administration (FCTA) has directed owners of private schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to make security and safety of school children under them a priority. FCTA Secretary for Education Secretariat, Sen. Isah Maina gave the directive on behalf of the Administration during a meeting with owners of private schools under the aegies of National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPSS) in his office recently. The meeting which was convened following a recent private school bus fire incidence, which claimed the lives of three pupils. It was also intended to find ways of improving the delivery of education services in the FCT, especially ensuring the safety of school children in schools. Maina, who noted that as parents “we know what is good for our chil-
dren”, charged them to prioritiae security of the children, regretting “as businessmen, we like to cut corners in order to maximize our profit and we look at those areas we feel are not so important. Further warning the proprietors, the Secretary said: “If you do not have enough resources to meet up with all the guidelines for establishing private schools, leave it. We will review the guidelines for private schools and ensure the loop holes are plucked and the right things done at all times in all situations. “Let us emphasise the issue of safety and security of children in our schools. Let us collaborate to provide excellent education to our children because if we do not do that, they will turn out a burden to us in the future.” Maina while directing that only the Department of Quality Assurance was permitted to visit the
private schools for monitoring and compliance, pledged to liaise with FCT Internal Revenue Services to streamline payment of taxes for the schools. He therefore placed ban on registration of new private schools in the FCT until the new guideline, which will incorporate the new directives and changes comes on board in order to address the many complaints, and stated that the erring school, which remained closed, must be punished. President, NAPPSS FCT chapter, Samira Jibir, who spoke earlier hailed the FCTA for giving them a listening, adding that her association was determined to ensure excellence in education in the FCT.

Capital Territory transportation sector has appealed to the administration in the territory to aid his company’s operation by honouring its agreement on the provision of landed facilities for the ease business. This call was made by the Managing Director of Temple Resources, Mr. Segun Obayando, operators of the popular computeriSed vehicle inspection machine across the country. Mr. Obayando said that this has become necessary since the agreement reached with the FCT authority was to build about six centres with the existence of only three in operation. According to him, that of the FCT remains uncompleted owing to the need for land allocation for the building of the centers at Apo, Lugbe and Wuye districts. Obayando further noted that certain issues hinders the successful operation of the vehicle inspection in the nation’s capital which ordinarily would have been a huge success owing to the provision of the project in the act that establishes FCT. He said government should help in elaborate enlightenment campaign and enforcement to enable the people key into the project. Commenting on the major achievement recorded since the inception of the project in the FCT, Obayando said basically on the ongoing programme, the FCTA administration and the operators are in the realisation that every motorists in this regard has become a stakeholder in the business since this remains the only avenue to put every vehicle in a proper shape and free from unnecessary accidents that claims lives. He said: “We have been able to raise this consciousness that the project is there for the people to come
in and put their vehicles to a proper shape, it is a place where they would avoid possible occurrence of death. To make sure that the idea of maintenance culture is becoming part of us and also to erase this idea when people allow their vehicles unmaintained that leads to roads crashes. The awareness is gaining ground momentarily”. In furtherance of its sensitisation programme, Obayando, observed that the innovation is such that by now should have changed the public orientation in keying in to the digital generation and move away from the analogue way of doing things in the past. “I have said it in several other phora we have had, I have said that what we are doing is not far from moving from analogue to digital, just like the world had moved from manual typewriter to computer , to iPAD. That it is not far from the world moving from horse riding to bicycle and to flying jet. What we are doing is not far from what the judiciary is about to implement,” he said. Just recently, the Chief Justice the federation announced that there may soon be no more use for paper trailing and that every legal record should be computerised as things will be done electronically. The same thing is applicable to motor business. The whole world cannot be moving forward and in Nigeria we are still trying to meet up with the digital world. For example, what we are saying is that a Doctor cannot just certify anyone healthy by mere looking at the person the person must under go several diagnosis with the aid of machine. So we need to put our vehicles through these machines to discover at what place it has problems and also proffers solution to it”.

Hajj 2018: Don’t patronise quacks, Welfare Board warns pilgrims
ÏÏÏIn a bid to ensure a hitch free
2018 Hajj exercise through proper enlightenment of residents, the Federal Capital Territory Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (FCT MPWB) has embarked on sensitisation tours to its major stakeholders in the territory. The tour took the management of the board to traditional rulers in the territory as well as media houses to seek for their support toward enlightening the residents on this year’s policies on hajj as well as ensure its success. At the palace of the Ona of Abaji, Alhaji Adamu Baba Yunusa, the Director of the Board, Mallam Muhammad Bashir, solicited for the support and blessing of traditional rulers in enlightening their subjects on the procedures of registration for hajj as well as new policies introduced by the relevant authorities for the benefits of the entire Muslim community. Mallam Muhammad Bashir said the Saudi and
National Hajj Commission have introduced new policies aimed at assisting the pilgrims to attain “an acceptable hajj” this year. The Director assured of the board’s commitment to treat intending pilgrims with all humility and respect in line with the desire of the present administration to provide first class services to its contingent from Nigeria to the holy land of Saudi Arabia. While receiving the team, the Ona of Abaji and Chairman of the FCT Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Adamu Baba Yunusa, called on officials of the Board to strive to improve on their services to intending pilgrims who partake in the religious journey through the Board. The Chairman of the FCT Council of Chiefs stressed the importance of the journey to every Muslim who has the opportunity and warned them against acts capable of tarnishing the image of the ad-
ministration. Similarly, residents of the territory have been warned against the use of touts in hajj activities. The Director of the Board, Mallam Muhammad Bashir, gave the warning while addressing Fulani community leaders in the FCT at the palace of the Emir of Jiwa. Mallam Bashir said the call became necessary considering the fact that most of those who fall victims of fraudsters were Fulanis, anxious to go for hajj without knowledge of how to get registered. The Director therefore warned them against cash transactions as the board only employs the use of bank drafts in all its dealings with the intending pilgrims. He lamented the activities of such dubious persons bent on taking advantage of the ignorance of the Fulanis and other intending pilgrims to defraud them of their hard earned wealth.

Stop illegal land transaction with Area Councils, FCTA warns buyers
ÏÏÏThe Federal Capital Territory
Administration (FCTA) has advised land buyers across the FCT to avoid illegal land transaction with the area councils. This is just as the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has bemoaned the illegal activities of touts and advised the public transaction on plots of land allocated by the Area Councils until title regularisation process is concluded. The FCT Permanent Secretary and Chairman of the FCT Land Use & Allocation Committee (LUAC), Mr. Chinyeaka Christian Ohaa, made this disclosure recently during the meeting of the Committee in Abuja. The Permanent Secretary stated that this action has become necessary to reduce the knotty cases of illegal land activities being perpetuated at the Area Councils of the Territory and thereby defrauding unsuspected members of the public. His words: “The confirmation of titles of the Area Councils can only be conducted after completion of the ongoing Area Councils’ title regularization exercise, and therefore the general public is hereby advised to desist from transacting on the said titles until conclusion of the regularisation exercise”. Ohaa remarked that by the virtue of Section 297 (2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended and Sections 18 & 1 (3) of the FCT Act respectively has absolutely vested the entire 8,000 square kilometers of the land in the Federal Capital Territory to the Federal Government of Nigeria, and is being managed by the FCT Minister under a delegated responsibility. His words: “The Administration
has observed that with the recall of Area Councils’ Zonal Land Managers and Zonal Planning Officers back to the mainstream, as well as the suspension of Land allocation by the six Area Councils of the Territory, the illegal activities still persist”. The Permanent Secretary recalled that the FCT Administration in 2006 had directed the Area Councils to discontinue allocation of land and requested that they update and forward their records of allocations to AGIS for the commencement of the title regularization for thorough cleaning and validation. He, however, regretted that the Administration has spotted some illegal allocation papers being backdated by fraudulent ex-FCT officials and ex-Land officers at the Area Councils; fake letters of allocations and Certificates of Occupancy in circulation as well as Farmers, Village Heads, Community Heads selling land in the Area Councils, thereby duping unsuspecting members of the public. Ohaa warned the general public to be waryof these illegal activities by fraudulent people; reiterating that all lands in the entire Federal Capital Territory is vested in the FCTA and can only be accessed through application to the Minister. The Permanent Secretary used the opportunity to announce that the FCT Administration has several thousands of Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) as well as Rights of Occupancy (R of O) for Federal Capital City (FCC) titles unclaimed in the Department of Lands Administration and therefore, called on the beneficiaries to come forward with necessary documents for collection.

Bwari crisis: FCTA begins reconciliation process, demands action Stories by Idu Jude, Abuja
ÏÏÏThe Federal Capital Territory
Administration (FCTA) has commenced series of meetings aimed at maintaining peace among communities in Bwari, Bwari Area Council. Minister of the FCT, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, disclosed this while addressing Bwari stakeholders at Sarkin Bwari Palace, recently and commended them for maintaining peace thus far, noting that what was needed more was action. “We want to see action. We may have preached peace, and talked peace enough. We want you to act peace. Sustain and maintain the current peace we have in Bwari,” he said. Malam Bello, who was represented by Secretary for Area Councils Services Secretariat, Adamu Abubakar Bappah, added: “We did not celebrate Christmas because of the incidence and we have not slept since 25th December, last year, but we can see that peace has returned to Bwari.” According to him, the Bwari peace stakeholders would also meet next week Tuesday in Esu Bwari’s palace; after which another meeting
would take with the traders, shop owners and renters, possibly in the market place, while the final meeting will be held at a neutral venue within the council area. The Minister therefore urged the security agencies to keep keeping an eye on the principal actors, even as he tasked all the village heads to report all unusual activities within their environment, suspecting that there was something fishy they were all hiding. He said: “Up to today, all we hear is rumours. Not even the traditional rulers can say what it is. These people have been living together peacefully for the past 30 or more years; so what is the problem now? Something must have happened!” Chairman, Bwari Area Council, Hon. Musa Dikko while addressing the people, disclosed that the return of peace to his council was as a result of series of meetings and unflinching support of the FCT Minister, adding that Bwari was the most peaceful in the FCT, because it was the food basket of the FCT, “which is also security because when people are hungry, there is no peace. Dikko also disclosed that his government was “ensuring that the
traditional institutions are properly handled to enable them handle their responsibilities effectively,” including 100 percent upgrading of Bwari chiefs’ salaries among others. The youthful Bwari chair, however, warned against incisive and provocative messages, adding that his council was doing its best in the area of providing relief for the affected traders in line with directives from the FCT Minister. On his part, and emotional Sarkin Bwari, Muhammed Awar Musa Ijakoro II, regretted that the crisis resulted into the burning of Bwari market. “I wonder why such things happen because the history of Bwari involves the Gbagyi, koro, Hausa, and all the other tribes living together in peace. We married among ourselves, I wonder why such a problem happened, but it is gone now. I pray that such a thing should not happen in our midst again”. Ijakoro while also calling on all the religious leaders to come together and keep preach peace, revealed “my step mom was Gbagyi and some of my brothers and sisters were Gbagyi, I see no reason for us to be fighting ourselves.

FCTA/FCDA Staff Cooperative member accuses exco of N1.6bn misappropriation ÏÏÏAs the general election of
the Federal Capital Territory Administration and the Federal Capital Development Authority Cooperative Society (FCDA) draws near, a member of staff has bemoaned the activities of the outgoing executives, who he has accused of embezzlement of over N1.6 billion. The FCDA/FCTA staff cooperative is an operation meant to generate dividend to all the staff and solve their immediate problems. Unfortunately, since its inception, nothing has happened, despite the regular deduction of percentage from over 18,000 staff salaries. In an exclusive interview, one of the contestants to the office of the President, Mr. Hipo Onah, spoke with our correspondent on the possible way of rewriting the wrongs as well as instituting a financial prudent leadership to the full benefit of the cooperators. As an association of all pensionable staff of the FCTA/FCDA amounting to 18,000 staff with category of contribution monthly, records left by the outgoing executive, shows reckless financial conduct which has generated much outcry to the attention of the FCT administration. Said Mr. Hipo Onah: “We are just rising from mirage of problems where the present executive that were brought in as an interim measure; to clean the wrath has become a kind of ambush who actually has come to embezzle the funds. At a particular time, this cooperative has
a leadership that has a curse to buy a land mounting to over 1.6billion in maitama. On a more serious note, 200 square meters in maitama amount to 1.6 billion and paid in the name of the interim President and we also has in a good authority and this is a verifiable facts. He built a school that can be compared to an American International school in Nigeria. The then secretary is a man of God who is pasturing a church also built his own school. And they shared to themselves at various committee the amount of money amounting to N5 million”. Onah, who is one of the leading aspirant, noted that the practice left behind, was a kind of sharing Arabian cake to those who participated in perpetrating the evil. He stated that the hews and cry over huge financial misappropriation, made the management of the FCTA react to it and they hurriedly went somewhere around Nasarawa State to acquire an illegal land without document what so ever leading to the purchase of the land. “People went all accepting and making payment without accessing the land and this is where they made hundreds of millions at the end of the day. They simply embezzled these money with the plot to purchasing the lands. Eventually the (Bright) administration was never elected and they came as interim when the EFCC came into the matter and to investigate the people and show us where they kept our money.

AMMC demolishes over 60 shanties in Kado
ÏÏÏThe Abuja Metropolitan Man-
agement Council (AMMC) has leveled to the ground, a burgeoning squatter settlement popularly known as Angwan Saidu, located behind Nigeria Air force (NAF) Conference Hall, Kado. Speaking to journalists at the demolition site recently, a Deputy Director in-charge of Monitoring and Evaluation, Department of Development Control, Garba Kwamkur vowed that the government would not be cowed from restoring the sanctity of the Abuja Master plan. Responding to a question on whether the occupants were forewarned, the deputy director disclosed they were given enough time before the demolition exercise, adding that his department strictly adhered to due process and even gave them a period of grace before reducing it a rumble. He used the opportunity to advise owners of landed property in Abuja, particularly where infrastructure has been provided, to quickly take possession of their property, else the department would be left with no option but to initiate their revocation process, by recommending such action to the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS). Kwamkur, also stated that owners of properties did not only risk having their property revoked, but that they would be made to pay for
demolition of illegal structures on their plots. The deputy director further warned those leaving in similar illegal structures to move out because his department would soon move in to remove them. He said: “Abuja is a planned city, so when people come in and just build without permits, we always give them necessary notices and the demolish them. In some cases, owners are desirous of taking over their properties for development, but they cannot because of the illegal developments on them. We met and discussed with them that was why we are having a peaceful exercise like this”. There was however, a mild drama when some of them came out shedding crocodile tears that someone had been killed, but through investigation by our reporter on site, it was discovered to that those mere rumours and mischief making. Our investigation also revealed that some high-profile commercial sex workers resident in Angwan Saidu were seen moving around, making frantic calls, as the bulldozers brought the batchers down. We also observed that there was no incident of any casualty, either on the site or in any hospital, however, an occupant sustained little bruises on his leg in the rush to drag leftover items out of one of the shanties.

FCTA to recoop over N3bn from DOAS –Abubakar ÏÏÏThe
Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it is set to recoop over three billion Naira annually through the Department Outdoor Advertising and Signages (DOAS). The Deputy Director of DOAS, Mr. Hassan Abubakar, disclosed this to journalists during a tour of some Shopping Malls and sign poles within the territory recently. Abubakar noted that the revenue generating project was initiated to cub the disorderly manner in handling the Outdoor advertisement system in the FCT. He explained that with the compliance from the public in paying their taxes, the administration through the Outdoor Advertisement and Signage System has the capacity to hit the target annually. While lamenting on the illegal mounted of billboards and Signages in some strategy position within the city, Mr Abubakar
stressed that such act is capable of defacing the ways and streets of the territory which is most lacking in aesthetics. According to him, the immediate consequences of these, were severe danger to environment, traffic and pedestrians. “Long range visibility was impaired with resultant accidents at major junctions due to sight blockages by billboards and outdoor advertisement posts”. “Painfully, we found that the existing administrative structure charged with the duty of regulating these practices was weak and in some cases there were multiple standards as well as conflicting administering agencies,” he added. He said that the development was unacceptable for a capital city that aspired to join the ranks of the best 20 capital cities in the world by the year 2020, adding that the administration was therefore
set to arrest the ugly trend. The Deputy Director also noted that the mandate given to the body was to provide a standard for the control and regulation of advertisement and signage practice in FCT by ensuring global best practice, improving internal revenue and stemming the observed chaos. He expressed delight for the collaboration of all stakeholders especially the six area councils and the FCT business community, adding that the chairmen of the area councils had shown high level of cooperation to the FCT Administration throughout the conceptualisation of the project. Abubakar further warned that staff of the department must be honest, diligent and resourceful as the administration would not condone any act that ran contrary to the good intentions for setting up this department.

CBN, RMAFC oppose new agency to manage corruption proceeds Henry Omunu, Abuja
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian Deposit Into Company (NDIC) and the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) on Tuesday, opposed the establishment of a new agency by the House of Representatives that will be charged with the management of assets that are proceeds of corruption and crime seized or forfeited to the federal government. The three public agencies made their stance known at the public hearing organized by the House Committee on Banking and Currency on a bill seeking to establish the Nigerian Assets Management Agency (NAMA). The agency if created is expect-

ed to manage all government assets, including those seized, forfeited or taken over by anti-graft and other federal security agencies. The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, who urged that the NAMA bill should be consolidated with the Senate’s Proceeds of Crimes Recovery and Management Agency bill or better still drop the NAMA bill. Emefiele, who was represented by an Assistant Director, Legal, Henry Forma, in declaring opposition to the new legislation drew the attention of the House committee to the existence of another bill which it considered more comprehensive that is before the senate and known as the Proceeds of Crime bill. Emefiele said that the two bills should be consolidated into one legislation since they are similar, adding that the senate bill provides for the establishment of the Proceeds of Crime Recovery and Management Agency. He stated that issues covered in the senate bill are replicated in the bill being considered by the House, admitting however that the Proceeds of Crime bill has more elaborate provisions than the assets management agency bill. He said, “In view of the forego-
ing, it’s our recommendation that, in order to avoid an inevitable conflict that would arise if the Proceeds of Crime bill and the bill for the establishment of the Nigerian Assets Management Agency were to be passed into law, the House committee should obtain and adopt the senate bill which adequately all the matters contained in this (House) bill.” Furthermore, the CBN governor argued that since the nature of the asset recovery envisaged in the House bill is uncertain and unpredictable because it’s dependent on the commission of crimes that may involve the recovery of stolen government assets or forfeiture of crime proceeds, it may not be financially prudent to establish an agency that may become at some point redundant and a waste of scarce public resources. “The establishment of the agency would also add to the already bloated cost of governance in Nigeria. The House committee may wish to apportion the functions of the proposed agency to an existing agency of government with a structure that can accommodate the envisaged functions of the agency such as the EFCC,” he observed.
In his submission, acting Chairman, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Shettima Gana, who also opposed the establishment of the new agency, observed that the functions of the agency should be transferred to AMCON or the EFCC which have existing structures. He said that following government’s determination in 2011 to reduce the number of agencies, the establishment of a new agency to manage all assets seized, forfeited or taken over by federal security bodies would not only increase the cost of governance, but amount to duplication of the functions of an existing agency. Earlier, Chairman of the House Committee, Rep. Jones Onyeriri explained that the idea behind the bill is to provide for an agency that will be responsible for taking and managing federal government owned assets, including but not limited to assets acquired through court orders, forfeitures and seizures by federal agencies. Prior to now, he said that such assets were scattered amongst different agencies “without proper coordination as to their real value and earnings from disposal of such assets.”
The Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPRA) on Tuesday made a shocking revelation that the Agency is unaware of details of payment paid by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). The representative of the Executive Secretary of PPPRA Joshua Peter, who made this revelation while appearing before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts, said the agency is no more in charge of subsidy payment . When asked by the chairman of committee, Senator Mathew Uroghide, to give a figure on amount paid on subsidy between January 1 and December 31, 2017, he said, “ We are not in position to give that to you because as I said, we only witness discharge and truck out , things have changed we don’t know much about subsidy payments. On the issue of amount paid so far on subsidy, PPPRA does not have that information.” Angered by the development, a member of the committee, Senator Bayero Nafada, said that the PPPRA is in best position to give the Committee information on pricing of Petroleum products because that is its primary function. According to him, “your primary purpose is details of landing cost. That is your primary function. Nobody is more competent to respond to the issue of landing cost than PPPRA”. The Committee therefore asked the PPPRA to give the panel details of cost of fuel importation into the country between from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 within 24 hours. The Committee also queried the accounting principle applied by the NNPC in tucking in the payment of subsidy on petroleum products in its operating cost berating the Corporation for failing to draw a line of demarcation between item in its budget. A member of the Committee, Senator Stella Oduah, said she needed to be educated on the accounting principle applied by the NNPC in lumping together its operation cost with the amount spent on subsidising fuel importation. The NNPC had earlier in its submission, said the difference of N216.9 billion on actual cost of production and pump price of premium motor spirit (petrol) was absorbed in its operating cost.

Goldberg lifts businesses in Oyo Ï ƏƐƈ ƆƐ MêƢƌ Ɔ ƅ Goldberg, a product of Nigerian Breweries Plc, has offered grant of N300,000 each to twenty five artisans to support their businesses during Isedowo empowerment scheme in Ibadan, Oyo State. The event, which was well attended by a cross-section of artisans and citizens of the state with diverse interests, was held at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, on Friday, February 2, 2018. The beneficiaries included auto mechanics, fashion designers, caterers, hair dressers, panel beaters, cobblers, traders and dry cleaners, all chosen through a rigorous but transparent process. At the end of the empower-
ment campaign, 100 artisans across the Southwest region will be rewarded by Goldberg with N300,000 through Isedowo. Activations have been successfully concluded in Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States where 60 artisans received similar grants. Orimadegun Ishola, one of the beneficiaries, said the scheme is worth emulating. Ishola, who deals in bags and shoes, stated that he could now expand his business by buying more products for sale. “The empowerment scheme is timely and a huge relief,” he said. Bakare Michael Taiwo, a panel beater, praised Goldberg for creating wealth and job opportunities in the Southwest. He said the grant would
enhance his business as he would now be able to purchase additional working tools and build a workshop he had longed to have. He affirmed: “Isedowo has taken that burden off me and has put smiles on faces of people in distress.” Tolulope Soremi, a dry cleaner, who also extolled the brand, said he would buy a washing machine with the grant, while an elated Folake Sunday Christiana, a caterer, stated that she would buy an industrial oven used for baking about 300 meat-pies and a cutting machine with the grant. She added that Isedowo has made 2018 a blessed year for her. “I can now run my business with ease,” she said excitedly. Commenting on the scheme, the Portfolio Manager, Mainstream Lager and Stout brands at Nigerian Breweries Plc, Mr.
Emmanuel Agu said the entrepreneurial intervention is part of Goldberg’s strong resolve to eliminate poverty and unemployment among people of the Southwest, especially artisans who have little or no capital to invest or expand their businesses. According to him, Isedowo would in no small measure improve the living standard of people in the region. “Goldberg through Isedowo has deepened its connection with the people of the Southwest by supporting their economic aspirations,” Agu said. He disclosed that the next Isedowo empowerment scheme will take place in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Friday, February 9, 2018. To benefit from the initiative, interested participants are expected to showcase their business ideas and how they impact the society.

Henry Omunu, Abuja
The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed for second reading a bill seeking to establish the Excess Revenue Fund Account by amending the Allocation of Revenue (Federation Account) in a bid to put an end to the controversy surrounding the constitutionality of the excess crude account operated by the federal government. The new legislation sponsored by Rep. Lovette Ederin Idisi (PDP/Delta) was subsequently referred to the joint House Committees on Justice and Finace for further legisla-
tive work. Rep. Idisi in his lead debate on the amendment bill, said that the Allocation of Revenue Federation Account was established in 1982 to prescribe the basis for the distribution of revenue accruing to the federation account between the tiers of government and the proportion of the total revenue of each state to be contributed to the state joint local government account. The Chairman, House Committee on Nigeria-Brazil Relations is seeking the amendment of Section 5 of the extant law which stipulates that an amount equivalent to one per cent of the federation account shall be allocated to the Fed-
eral Capital Territory. According to him, Section 5 of the existing Act be amended by inserting a fresh sub-section to be referred to as Section 5A (1) that establishes for the federation, an excess revenue fund account which shall consist of all revenues or other monies raised or received by the federation above the revenue targets set out for the purpose of funding the budget in a fiscal year.

Bayelsa made history as Nigeria’s first private refinery debuts Chris Eze, Yenagoa
The oil rich region, Niger Delta, nay Bayelsa has made history again as Nigeria’s first privately owned refinery was last Saturday launched in Bayelsa with the groundbreaking ceremony performed by no other person than former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Bayelsa first launched Nigeria into the oil league in 1958, when the first oil well that gave the country crude oil in commercial quantity was discovered at Oloibiri, in the present Ogbia Local Government Area, Bayelsa State. Saturday, February 17, 2018, all roads led to Obungha Clan in Gbarain kingdom, Yenagoa Local Government Area where the foundation stone
of Azikel Refinery Ltd, a 12, 000 barrels per day capacity green field modular refinery was laid. The event which coincided with the activities of the sixth anniversary of the Restoration administration of Bayelsa Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson attracted people from far and near, among them oil industry players, politicians, technocrats, community folks, etc. The man at the center of the event and President of Azikel Group of Companies, Dr. Eruani Azipabu Godbless could not hide his sense of accomplishment as he reeled out the odyssey of Azikel Refinery project. “Azikel Refinery is seated in Gbarain, and seated at 20 meters separation with very wonderful neighbours, the Shell Gas Gathering facility.
“Our journey is one with lots of interest and challenges. But our committed drive to industrializing the Niger Delta has been very much unwavering, hence our commitment to commence and pilot the industrialization of Bayelsa State and the Niger Delta. “We will for the first time be refining crude oil right at home. This is going to be the beginning where we reverse or otherwise put to back gear the incessant scarcity of petroleum products in Nigeria. “It is our hope that upon completion, scarcity will not even be in Bayelsa State and in the Niger Delta. We are going to change the status quo. But most important is that this will bring several businesses back within the region”, the CEO Azikel Refinery noted. He said the project from
construction phase and going into the production will create over 1000 jobs, hence curbing youth restiveness among the youths, even as he hinted that many young engineers from Bayelsa are already in the United States of America training for eventual absorption by the company. He said so far, the challenges associated with upfront development costs have been overcome, adding that the total land area covered by the project is 19.2 hectares of land fully reclaimed with over 2.7 million cubic of sand, with the cost put at $16million. “This was what we paid. We were dredging for nine good months; in 24 hours to sand fill 19.2 hectares of land with 2.7million cubic of sand. “But most significantly is upon completion of this sand
filling, we had to further wait for another six months. This was to allow for consolidation of the land before we could even commence any other form of development. This obviously delayed the civil works for another six months”, he informed. On the whole, however, he said the OSBL, which involves the land preparation, reclamation, fencing, the access road, Admin Block, terminal operator’s building, the loading gantry and storage tanks which he described as the supporting part of the refinery has been achieved up to 45 percent completion. He said that the engineering process model, which involves the preparation of the engine of the refinery, is being undertaken by the technical partners in the United States

of America and has attained near 65 percent completion. “We are actually heading towards the completion of this facility. Azikel refinery will be the very first conversion green field refinery built in Nigeria since the mid ‘70s and will enjoy a very competitive advantage in Nigeria oil and gas sector. “Azikel refinery will produce Bonny light and condensate. We will be producing petrol, kerosene, Aviation fuel, diesel and LPG which is the gas used in cooking in the house”, he stated. Eruani stressed that the intervention of Azikel petroleum would add value to the Nigerian crude and proffer solution to decades of problems concerning the national capacity to produce enough fuel which has been a nightmare to successive leaders.

Henry Omunu,
Mathew Dadiya,
Vi c e - P r e s i d e n t Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has assured stakeholders that the Federal Government is currently collaborating with the private sector to resolve the gridlock that is crippling economic activities in Apapa, Lagos. A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, quoted Osinbajon as saying this on Tuesday while receiving a delegation from the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The House of representatives on Tuesday resolved to investigate the past board and management of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) for allegedly diverting N62.3billion of the agency’s funds through fraudulent means. The House passed the resolution after it approved a motion sponsored by Rep. Prestige Ossy under matter of urgent national importance drawing the attention of the House to the monumental fraud perpetrated by the former management and board of the NSITF. To this end, the House mandated its committee on labour, employment and productivity to conduct an investigative hearing into the non -inauguration of NSITF board and the allegations of diversion of funds by the past board. Also, the committee is to determine the true financial position of the NSITF from 2011 to date and report its findings to the House within six weeks. Moving the motion, Rep. Ossy stated that the Act establishing the agency provides for a management board charged with the general control to administer and manage its funds. The lawmaker from Abia state said that the Buhari administration had announced the constitution of a new NSITF management board which
is yet to be inaugurated. He declared that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had discovered various acts of fraudulent diversions from the federal government and private sector contributions amounting to N62.3billion as at 2015, a fraud he said was allegedly perpetrated by the past board and management. Rep. Ossy asserted that the perpetuation of the alleged fraud and the non- inauguration of the NSITF board has thrown the agency into a state of confusion and left it incapable of discharging its responsibilities. This incapacitation, he said has forced the public including several stockholders such as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) calling for a quick intervention into
the non- inauguration of the NSITF board and the alleged diversion of funds by the past board and management staff of the NSITF. “There is colosal waste and embezzlement of funds at the NSITF. The fund was raised through both government and private sector contributions. Till date, nothing has been done about the issue. “I think it is necessary to look into the matter so as to bring those who embezzled the money to book,” Ossy said.

Air Namibia to link Accra, Lagos
The National Carrier, Air Namibia , has confirmed that it will resume flights to Accra, Ghana, as of the end of June this year. However, to increase its chances of making a profit on this route, which the airline abandoned in 2013, it will now combine the flights to Ghana with flights to Lagos in Nigeria in a bid that Air Namibia says is expected to grow its business as well as its footprint on the African continent. The days of operation for the new route from Windhoek will be Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as this operating schedule and flight timing allow smooth and convenient connections inbound and outbound to regional flights, connecting West Africa via Windhoek to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Luanda, Harare, Lusaka, Vic Falls, Gaborone, Walvis Bay and Durban. “Air Namibia previously operated the flight connecting Windhoek and Accra, and the service was suspended in 2013. What is different this time around is that we are combining Accra with Lagos, and we also have traffic rights for passengers and cargo for travel between Lagos and Accra using the fifth freedom traffic rights granted by the Ghanaian and Nigerian governments, as contained in the existing Bilateral Air Service Agreements, which makes it a totally different and much bigger operation than before. “Furthermore, we will be entering Africa’s largest regional air travel market,” explained Twakulilwa Kayofa, Air Namibia’s corporate communications officer. He added that Air Namibia, as the national carrier, has ambitions to grow the business, creating easy access to West Africa and vice versa.

According to General Manager (Public Affairs) of TCN Mrs Ndidi Mbah in a statement, the $486 Million Nigeria Electricity Transmission Access Project (NETAP) to be financed by the World Bank is part of the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Program (TREP) launched by the Transmission Company of Nigeria early last year. TREP seeks to Rehabilitate, Stabilize, Provide Necessary Flexibility, Expand the Wheeling Capacity of the Grid and establish enough redundancy in
line with international standard N-1. According her the $486million which is largest loan from the International body to Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is expected to rehabilitate and upgrade existing substations and lines across the country. NETAP would also finance the deployment of functional SCADA/EMS which is critical for grid stability. NETAP and all other projects under TREP were package according to the regions. While procurement and financial management functions would be carried out at
Abuja, the nine regional offices of TCN would play major roles in the day to day implementation. Mrs Mbah further said the procurement of major components of the project have reached advanced stage because the TCN and World Bank agreed to use advance procurement which allowed for the commencement of the project before it is approved by the Bank. This is expected to significantly assist in fast tracking the implementation of the project. The other donors that are supporting the Transmission Rehabilitation and Ex-
pansion Program include the African Development Bank (AfDB) which will finance the Abuja Transmission Wheeling Scheme and Northern Corridor Project, Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) which has indicated interest in financing three key transmission lines (Kaduna-Kano, Aloaji-Onitsha and Delta-Benin), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is also supporting Lagos/Ogun Transmission Infrastructure Project and African Development Bank (AfDB) that is supporting the North East Transmission Infrastructure Project.

Governor Ambode, who spoke when he received the President of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, and his team on a courtesy visit to the Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, said the population, soccer enthusiasm and the tourism potentials that abound in the state are indicators to the fact that the state has the enabling environment to receive any FIFA project in Nigeria. The governor, while welcoming the choice of Lagos as the host city of the FIFA Executive Committee Summit, said it would present a great opportunity for the state to showcase its huge investment in football development especially for youths and women.
He also expressed confidence that the FIFA President and his team, after the visit, would consider Lagos favourably to host a FIFA competition, while also pledging support for events by the world’s football governing body. “I want to say that we are so excited that Lagos is playing host to the FIFA Executive Summit, we would be the second African city that would be hosting this kind of meeting and we are excited that you decided that Lagos would host it. “It is very important for us because soccer is big in Lagos and we are able to show you the kind of facilities and things that football can actually do to us as a nation. I believe strongly that your hosting this meeting in Lagos portends greater potentials for us in Lagos; we are very strong on youth development and youth soccer development and also soccer development for women. “I believe as you decide tomorrow and then days after on where you intend to put your projects, Lagos stands to welcome all the projects of FIFA. We have the population, the en-
thusiasm and we also have the tourism potentials to actually receive any FIFA projects in Nigeria,” governor Ambode said. Governor Ambode thanked Infantino for deeming it fit to select a retired Chief Judge of Lagos, Justice Ayotunde Philips as a member of the Ethics Committee of FIFA, saying that it was a testament to the state’s credibility. “I want to personally thank you for selecting one of our retired Chief Judges, Justice Philips into the Ethics Committee of FIFA and that happens to be one of the most important committees in FIFA and I believe strongly that for us to have produced one of those members goes to show how credible that we can be in Lagos,” he said. Governor Ambode who also spoke at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF/Aiteo) Awards held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, said that partnering with the NFF for the hosting of the award was also a privilege to showcase the Lagos as the emerging sports hub for Africa.
“What we are saying to the world through these partnerships and our other sports programs like the Lagos City Marathon, International Table Tennis Federation Nigeria Open, the Lagos International Sports Classics in Squash Racquet, Badminton and Taekwondo is that Lagos is ready to host the world; and use sports as a tool to showcase our rich tourism, hospitality and entertainment culture,” he said. While wishing the FIFA delegation a successful execution of the World Cup scheduled to hold later in the year, governor Ambode expressed optimism that the Super Eagles of Nigeria could spring surprises and emerge winners of the biggest soccer fiesta. Earlier, the FIFA President said he was in Lagos with his team, not only for the FIFA Executive Committee Summit, but also to discuss with the NFF on the possibility of developing some projects in the country. He commended governor Ambode for his administration’s investment in the development of football, describing it as excellent.
The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Nsima Ekere has declared the preparedness of the interventionist agency to collaborate with the government of the Federal Republic of Germany in setting up an enduring and functional world class cancer center in the Niger Delta region. The NDDC Chief Executive Officer stated this while receiving the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Bernhard Schlagheck, at the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. With him to receive the German envoy were the NDDC Executive Director Finance and Administration, Mr Mene Derek, and Executive Director Projects, Engr. (Dr) Samuel Adjogbe.

He said: “Germany has a long history of relationship with Nigeria and one area where the German government will be more helpful to Nigeria is in the area of health, because we have healthcare challenges that we believe collaboration with the Germans can help us.” Mr. Ekere thanked the German government for its renewed interest in the Niger Delta region, noting that there had been a lot of engagement from the international community in recent times. “This interest in the affairs of the Niger Delta region and the Federal Republic of Nigeria will only add value to our effort to see our region as a peaceful, stable and secure area,” he said.

NIPS summit: FG offers to develop university curricula for industrial development By Idu Jude , Abuja
The Federal Government of Nigeria has said that to fully achieve the dream of international petroleum summit and the seven big wins agenda targeted at boosting the oil and gas exploration, the nation’s university must develop academic curricular to prepare the minds of the locally bred students that will take over the industry in the long run. The Minister of State for petroleum Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachicku, revealed this on the 2nd day of the ongoing NIPS summit in Abuja. Kachikwu, while fielding question from participants and panelists during the summit, said his office will
mandate the petroleum technology development trust fund to begin to address the seemingly important part of the project. He said that for the nation to fully develop the industry through the 7 big wins project and the realization of the Nigeria international petroleum summit the country should begin to develop university curricular across all schools. Kachikwu noted that to fully achieve this, which Nigeria will straighten the effort in setting up of the local Petroleum University of Technology with fully developed local contentt school curricular to take care of the popular demands in the oil and gas exploration. According to one of the panelists and oil and gas ex-
pert, Mr Chidozie Nwaosu, “the students coming out of the Nigerian universities should be able to know how to be in charge of these technological parts of the industry. The industry should have a good number of Nigerians who were trained with the culture of Nigerian industrial needs”. Also speaking, Mrs Mmaduka, most of the Nigerian engineering graduates have nothing to write home about. This, she said, is the bi-product of the western ideology and education curricular sold to African countries with no African culture affiliation. Maduka, stressed, that the oil sector problem in Nigeria, is exemplary on the emerging railway project be-
ing manned by the Chinese. “I dare to say that the railway project ongoing across the country may not succeed with the 100 per cent expertise from China. It may end up being a white elephant project. And I think that Nigeria should start injecting human capital measure to understudy the Chinese and subsequently take over the industry and to avoid Nigeria spending extensively to maintain foreign expatriate; and I think that the success of NIPS in the long run should centre on the effort being made to inject local content for thr sustainability of the industry”. Demola Bero, while contributing, said that the survival of the ‘7big win’ project, should also address the
issue of environmental degradation, and to address the perennial case of industrial hazards at the oil producing areas. According to him, the NIPS’s survival like that of the OTC in America is to positively address the reason for its establishment. Austin Avuru, observed that government approach to the issue of security at the Niger Delta, should be reviewed as the earlier approach had not addressed the issue. “I must tell you that the issue of Niger Delta because security should be addressed because the place has become so militarized and volatile. I suggest that the Nigerian government should adopt the principle of share vision, the measure to be adopted should be a win -win situation because military option to restore peace has always failed”.
Gelegele Seaport: Edo Govt, Nigerian Navy strengthen ties to deliver Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has said that the Nigerian Navy has provided tremendous backing for the actualisation of the Gelegele Seaport project in the state, as its men are providing support to its foreign partners, China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC), who are currently conducting feasibility study for the project. Obaseki also thanked the Navy for its swift response to security challenges, especially in the coastal areas of the state, noting that these gestures have endeared the Navy to the people of the state. Governor Obaseki said these in his remarks at the closing ceremony of the Nigerian Navy Retreat 2018, themed “Optimising Operational Availability of NN fleet” held from February 18 to 20, at the Nigerian Naval Engineering College, Ogorode, Sapele, Delta State. According to the governor, “We thank the Nigerian Navy for the continuous support we have received from your men, especially the response squad in the Niger Delta. As you are aware, we are working with some foreign investors who will be building a port at the confluence of the Benin and Ovia Rivers. Your men have provided support and security to these investors as they conduct feasibil-
ity study of the project.” He hailed the Navy for the foresight in organising the retreat, as it affords policymakers a platform to debate and offer solutions to issues and challenges bedevilling the Navy, noting, “I am impressed to find that this retreat is an assemblage of policymakers and other officers to brainstorm on the challenges they face. I must say that the quality of thought has left me bewildered. The Navy is seeking solutions and this kind of reflections are an indication of an organisation that wants to move forward.” In his remarks, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ebok Ibas, expressed appreciation to Governor Obaseki for his unflinching support for the Nigerian Navy, noting that the Navy’s exploits are fueled by the support it enjoys. He disclosed that the Nigerian Navy’s improved presence at sea and in backwaters has improved security, forced criminal elements to relocate to other regions of the Gulf of Guinea and safeguarded Nigeria’s territorial waters. According to him, “The Nigerian Navy has adopted innovative strategies to optimise the availability of its fleet for operation. This has not only led to improved security but also in the deployment of its deterrence and surveillance abilities.”

AVSEC boss seeks cooperation among security agents at airports Contd. from page 6
Contributors to the lecture stressed the need for heads of security agencies at the airport to give importance to the monthly security meetings. Security service Manager, Nigeria Aviation Handling Company, NAHCOaviance, Commodore Mohammed Lawal Badamasi expressed displeasure over the less importance given to such meetings when subordinates of heads of agencies are sent to represent their bosses.
He said, it dies not say well of that officer, adding that subordinates might not be able to explain in details all that transpired during the meeting and also, there would never be a feedback. “ I think we have not given security the needed importance it deserves, airport security committee meetings you have heads of security agencies that are suppose to be the main people but they do not attend, rather they send all sorts of representatives, that shows the level of importance they attach
to that important decision making body”. Aviation security officers lamented the challenges they face on a daily basis especially in the hands of ministers, governors and other dignitaries. They say these group of people refused to be screened of even use their aides to harass them. They appealed to the FAAN management to introduce an enlightenment programme for other security agencies at the airport to explain AVSEC roles and duties at the airport to save them from being intimidated, harassed and looked down on.
