INEC confirms Daily Times story, asks court to vacate restraining order Continued from page 1

stopped the recall process came up yesterday for hearing, thus confirming The Daily Times exclusive story on Monday that the Commission had not only applied to vacate the order of Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court but had also petitioned the Chief Justice of Nigeria over a breach of its constitutional role .

However, when the matter was called yesterday, INEC counsel Sulayman Ibrahim informed the vacation judge that

the two applications, one - seeking the court’s leave for the vacation judge to expeditiously hear Melaye’s suit, and second - an application for an order setting -aside the ex-parte interim order to maintain status quo made by Justice John Tsoho on July 6, 2017 have been served on Melaye’s counsel.

But Senator Melaye’ s lawyer, Mr. Nkem Okoro said he was served with the applications on Tuesday and that he needs seven days to respond.

Consequently, the vacation

judge, Justice Dimgba adjourned the matter to Thursday, 27 July , 2017 for hearing.

In a 16 paragraphs affidavit in support of the application, the commission said that Melaye’s suit is predicated on questions bordering on propriety or otherwise of the petition for the recall of the plaintiff( Melaye) received by the Commission from the registered voters in Kogi West Senatorial District whose signatures appear in said petition.

That INEC has just 90 days

from the date of the receipt of the petition to conduct a referendum in Kogi West Senatorial District. And that from June 21, 2017, the time allowed the Commission by the Constitution of Nigeria to conclude the recall process will elapse on September 18, 2017. That it has issued a time table and schedule of activities for the recall exercise But that the Court having made the said ex-parte order adjourned the suit “ to the 29th day of September, 2017 for hearing of the plaintiff ’s motion on notice and the application for joinder.”

That the Commission was not heard before the interim order was made. That the plaintiff misrepresented and suppressed material facts in misleading the court to grant the ex- parte order.

The Commission said that the ex-parte order of interim injunction for the parties to maintain status quo “ as it stands “on 6th day of July, 2017 is in violation of the right to fair hearing under Section 36 (1) as well as infringement of one of the constitutional duties of the defendant/applicant as conferred on it by Sections 1 and 69 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.

Beside fair hearing, the Com-

mission is arguing that the interim order ought not to have been made considering the nature of the claims sought in the substantive matter vis- a- vis the constitutional duty conferred on the commission to act within statutory time frame.

Section 69 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria provide thus: “A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives recalled as such a member if; (a) “there is presented to the Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission a petition in that behalf signed by more than half of the persons registered to vote in that member’s constituency their loss of confidence in that member ; and which signatures are duly verified by the Independent Electoral Commission “ (b) “The petition is therefore, in a referendum conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission within ninety days of the receipt of the petition, approved by a simple majority of the persons registered to vote in that member’s constituency.”

INEC, therefore, pleaded with the judge that in view of the forgoing circumstances it is extremely urgent, and that the matter be heard during vacation.

Osinbajo wants lawmakers to approve N135bn Continued from page 1 cent developments between the two arms of government.

In a surprising move and against its earlier stance the Senate yesterday confirmed the appointment of eight more Resident Electoral Commissioner nominees for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Their confirmation on Thursday followed the consideration of a report on the nominees presented to the Senate by the chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC, Senator Nazif Suleiman, during plenary.

This is even as the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has written the National Assembly seeking approval for the virement of N135,643,018,749 from the 2017 Appropriation Act. While approving the eight nominees, the Senate however rejected the nominee from Niger State, Professor Mustapha Zubairu, noting that there were series of serious petitions against his nomination.

Confirmation of three other nominees, Dr Mahmuda Isa (Kebbi State) Ambassador (Dr) Rufus Oloruntoyin Akeju (Lagos State) and Ahmad Bello Mahmud was also stood down by the Senate. No reason was given by the Senate for its decision on two of the nominees, except that Akeju has a pending legal case against him.

The eight nominees who scaled through the process include; Dr (Mrs) Asmau Sani Maikudi (Katsina State), Dr. Sam Olugbade Olumekun (Ondo), Prof. Riskuwa Shehu (Sokoto State), Barr. Kassim Gana Geidam (Yobe State), Jibrin Ibrahim Zarewa (Kano State), Abdulganiyu Olayinka Raji (Oyo), Prof. Samuel G. Egwu (Kogi State) and Barr.

Mike A. Igini (Delta State).

Congratulating the successful nominees, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki urged them to ensure the conduct of free, fair and credible elections in the country. Saraki also advised the RECs to see their appointments as a call to duty

and should as such, display utmost degree of discipline and integrity in the execution of responsibilities and in the electoral process.

Meanwhile, the virement that the Acting President is seeking was part of the agreement reached by him and the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives prior to the signing into law of the N7.441 trillion Appropriations Act. Osinbajo in a four -page letter dated July 18, 2017 and addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, explained that the funds will be utilised for the implementation of some critical priority items for which adequate provisions had not been made in the 2017 budget.

According to the Acting President, the sum of N46,004,049,292 is to be vired within projects being handled by the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing while N66 billion is to be vired within projects of the Federal

Ministry of Transportation.

Osinbajo’s letter which was read on Thursday by the Speaker during plenary, further states that the virements include: N33.247 billion from Ministry of Transportation; N3,181,973,545 from Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing; N14,130,719,780 from Office of the Secretary to the Government of Federation; N5 billion from Office of the National Security Adviser; N5,009,244,926 from Federal Ministry of Science and Technology and N5,494,065,749 from Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment.

The sum of N1 billion is to be vired within projects of Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development; N7,698,811,674 from Federal Ministry of Interior and N80,500,000 from Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment; N3.150 billion from Federal Ministry of Defense; N770 million from Federal Ministry of Education; N1.7 billion from Federal Capital Territory

Administration and N1.3 billion from Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment.

Others include: N1 billion from Federal Ministry of Health; N735,035,00 from office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation; N1,093,579,983 from Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment; N729 million from Federal Ministry of Information and Culture; N734 million from Federal Ministry of Communication and Technology; N2,387,541,000 from Federal Ministry of Water Resources; N1 billion from Federal Ministry of Mines and Steels Development; N241,001,800 from Federal Ministry of Environment, respectively.

Ex-AGF Adoke petitions UN, alleges persecution by FG Peter Fowoyo, Lagos

ÏÏÏ Former AttoneryGeneral of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, on Thursday, dragged the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (CCPR), alleging unmitigated acts of persecution, intimidation, harassment, threat of deprivation of right to life, unlawful interference with right to family life

and livelihood.

Adoke, in the petition by his solicitor, Femi Oboro, made available to The Daily Times last night, said the complaint has become necessary in view of the constant harassment, intimidation and persecution he has endured in the hands of the Federal Government and its agencies.

He said: “I have today 20th July 2017 filed a complaint on behalf of my client Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Federal Republic of

Nigeria, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for unmitigated acts of persecution, intimidation, harassment, threat of deprivation right to life, unlawful interference with right to family life and livelihood”.

He continued: “This Complaint has become necessary in view of the constant harassment, intimidation and persecution that my client has endured in the hands of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its agencies.

It will be recalled that my

client served Nigeria as Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice from 10th April 2010 to 29th May 2015. However, since leaving office, he has been the subject of sustained and malicious media attack from the EFCC and its cohorts with the aim of bringing him to public odium. These efforts have culminating in filing of phantom criminal charges against him, destruction and unwarranted searches on his residences as well as that of his siblings, persecution, threat to his life, unlawful[F4] harassment

and intimidation”.

According to Adoke, “I am constraint to adopt this measure as a last resort aimed at protecting his right to life, right to family life and livelihood since the Nigerian Authorities have taken measures to deprive him the opportunity to earn a decent livelihood since leaving office. His constant harassment and raids on his home coupled with unmitigated media campaign have prevented him from practising his profession, attending to the needs of his family, particularly to his wife and children, attending to his aged Father and other relations that depend on him for their sustenance”.

“My client has taken reasonable steps to engage with appropriate Nigerian authorities such as the Office of the President, Vice President, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Director- General of the Department of State Security Services and the Chairman of the EFCC to explain his plight. But it appears that the State through its agencies especially the EFCC is bent on persecuting and humiliating him in order to satisfy the whims and caprices of some powerful families and political associates of the present administration intent on punishing him for refusing to allow his Office to be used to

further their personal interests especially with respect to the ownership and control of Malabu Oil and Gas Limited and the proceeds from the disposal the of the assets of Malabu Oil and Gas Limited held in OPL 245, to Shell and ENI”.

He stated that the complaint will afford the UNHRC the opportunity to apprise Nigeria’s criminal justice system, the operational modalities of law enforcement agencies such as the EFCC, the Constitutional mandate of the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, on whether such agencies and persons are conducting their operations in accordance with human right standards and norms applicable to civilized democratic societies and/ or they can be allowed to ride rough shod over the rights and liberties of citizens under the guise of fighting corruption.

He therefore asked the UNHRC to expeditiously consider the Complaint and make its ruling and recommendations public in order to end his persecution and once more provide an enabling environment for him to enjoy his family, return to the practice of his profession and assume his roles as the bread winner for his immediate and extended. family.

not been made in the 2017 Appropriation Act. “You would also recall that it was agreed that the Executive should submit a virement proposal to the National Assembly for your consideration.

The purpose of this letter, therefore, is to forward the virement proposal,” the letter read in part.

In a related development, the Senate committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday asked the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency extend concession on the Naira - Dollar exchange to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and Christian Pilgrimage Commission.

This was just as the commission dispelled all allegations of extortion as reported in some news outlets recently by categorically stating that due process was followed in arriving at the cost fixed for this year’s Hajj.

Accordingly, the committee recommended to the Federal Government the concession of N200 to $1 for the 2017 Hajj to cut down on cost for intending pilgrims.

The Senate while calling on the Federal Government to engage in discussions with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to review the 50-50 carriage of pilgrims between Nigeria and Saudi Arabian Airlines, stressed that doing so “would provide

more opportunities for more indigenous airlines to participate in the Hajj operations.”

These were part of recommendations contained in the report of the Senate committee sequel to investigations into the hike in airfare to this year’s Hajj exercise, and alleged extortion of pilgrims by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria.

Chairman of the committee, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu (APC, Oyo Central), in her presentation of the report stated that the committee in its findings “the Hajj Commission did not unilaterally fix the airfare for the 2017 Hajj, but engaged the services of experts from

the aviation sector, specifically the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.”

The lawmaker added that “the process went through series of negotiations and due diligence, noting that “the approved airfare for 2016 Hajj was between $1,700 to $1,750 whilst for 2017 the fares are $1,650 to $1,700.”

The committee on its part, however warned that “tour operators must be cautioned to stop making Hajj arrangement on presumption until the whole processes are concluded and the actual cost of all the relevant services are arrived at, so as not to mislead Nigerians.”

The committee further said that “NAHCON must be made to wield the bid

We will establish rice mega city per LG in Ebonyi - Gov. Umahi Looking at the initiative you put in place, especially on the anchor borrower scheme, how is this initiative impacting on rice production in Ebonyi State and what inspired you to focus more on agriculture?

We are known for solid mineral and agriculture and we don’t have any other means of raising our Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) other than agriculture and solid minerals and of course, the export of our human resources. So, this is the reason that made us focus on these areas that we have comparative advantage over other states. ******In the past two years of your administration, what would you say is your major achievements on rice production?

I must commend the Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh very highly based on the program he initiated and supported

by His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari and as a state, we wish him quick recovery. He has done very well in terms of agricultural program for the state and the nation at large. Let me point out that, the program in agriculture has brought down the demand of Foreign Exchange because prior to this administration we import a lot of food items into the country and the dollar was rising to N500-N600 but when the Federal Government launched its program on agriculture, the demand for forex began to go down.

Again, I must commend the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele and I must also commend the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun and of course the Chief of Staff, they have put their programs together and the states are very well positioned to do better in agriculture. I can say that in the area of rice production and with the support from the Federal Government and their initiatives in a number of ways to better agriculture, we have done well. We have been able to encourage farmers, we have been able to demonstrate that one hectare of land when you cultivate it and plant rice, it is better than being a councilor or being a commissioner, you make more money. We have been able to improve on our agriculture production and processing capacity, especially on rice production in Ebonyi state. Therefore, we launched Oneman One-hectare in Ebonyi State and that has really encouraged our people.

We have also borrowed N2billion from the Federal Government to boost agriculture in the state and we would be paying off that aspect of the loan in the next three months.

Of course, we have borrowed another N5billion and another N3bilion because we want to domesticate rice production in Ebonyi State. We are going beyond individual production and we are now beginning to see how we can institute what we call Rice Mega City in each local government whereby, we have 5000 hectares of land dedicated for rice production in each local government areas of the state. Already we have four rice mills that are in operation and of course, you have also seen the private people that are milling with their traditional machines. We have imported another three sets of rice mill which will be fully installed in the next three to four months. The idea is that, before the middle of next year we will be able to have one rice mill in each local government area.

We have introduced the system of standardisation in terms of pricing and in terms of quality, so that when you have paddy rice to sell, you have to come to our buying Centre

Ebonyi State is known for its solid minerals and rice production in the country. The governor, Mr. David Nweke Umahi recently spoke with some Journalists in his office in Abakaliki on his plans for agriculture with eyes on Rice and Yams production to earn foreign exchange for the state and Nigeria at large. TOM OKPE was there for The Daily Times.

at the local governments so that we would be able to weigh the rice and be able to know how much you will be paid for so that we can have a particular brand to know if it is Faro 50, or Faro 44 or Faro 52. Then we have prices for them, but there should be a uniform price for the state and for a particular quality of milled rice, we also have a uniform price for it. This is to enable the state monitor the quality of our rice. We are known all over the world for the quality of our Abakaliki Rice, so we are very proud of our rice quality and we want to be sure that we maintain that standard and that rating.

One of the things that characterised us as a nation is policy somersault, are you not worried that after your regime, your successor may reverse this policy, what structure did you put in place to ensure sustainability of these programs you have introduced?

Like the rice mega city, it is only going

to be powered by government, but would not be manage by government and we are trying to establish a law now, if you want to acquire 5000 hectare of land to farm, we have a law coming up whereby the owners of land would aggregate to form cooperative society. For instance, you have two hectares and we have three hectares or ten hectares, we aggregate them, each farm holder would become a shareholder by reason of the percentage of farmland he has in the entire 5000 hectares of land. So what are we doing? We want to mechanise agriculture so that the traditional means of rice planting and harvesting can be improved upon and then the law would be such that the owners would have 10perecent equity stake of investment; they would have nothing else to invest other than being the owners of the land and the state would also have 10percent being the father of the land and of course the custodian of the land constitutionally.

These cooperative societies would also work

We have been able to demonstrate that one hectare of land when you cultivate it and plant rice, it is better than being a councilor or being a commissioner, you make more money. We have been able to improve on our agriculture production and processing capacity, especially on rice production in Ebonyi state. Therefore, we launched Oneman One-hectare in Ebonyi State and that has really encouraged our people

in the farm; you won’t see the role of government in these activities. Therefore, it is not a question of policy review by succeeding government, no. They will pay taxes to government and it is not going to be dependent on government policy. The same thing we are doing in solid minerals, very soon you can’t establish a cement factory or even quarry without the community having equity share and it is very important to our country, because I have continued to say, if you want to establish for example some factories that are based in solid minerals and you tell us that we are going to collect tax or you will employ our people, what is the salary range of the employment or the volume of tax you will pay?

In Ebonyi State, 10 percent of its land is solid minerals and so if you now excavate and dispossess us of agricultural programs over these lands and then you compare how much we would have been making in agriculture and compare it with the tax, you will find out that the state is actually loosing.

The best thing is for us to have equity in that program and I recommend this to the Federal Government. Let investors come in but let the owners of the place or land have equity in the business or whatever business that is being done. I think the Petroleum Industry Bill is considering such so that the oil producing communities would be part of the business in terms of benefit because their land is being damaged and dispossessed. If the land is not damaged, then they should be able to use it for other economic benefits.

What is your administration’s target for rice production in the state?

Our target is 100,000 hectares of land cultivation within the next few years.

How many metric tons?

If you multiply 100,000 hectares by four metric tons per hectare, we would be talking about 400,000 metric tons of paddies.

But with the improvement as we are being mechanised, we could have as much as five to seven metric tons per hectare.

With what you have enumerated, it means in the next few years Ebonyi State would have gone wide in rice production, are you thinking of going to the international markets?

We are already at the international market, because some people are eating Ebonyi rice abroad and they call us and say this is special. Also, don’t forget that God gives his gift differently. Sometimes, the rice is salted, taste differently if you taste it, you would not eat any other rice again. And it is very common among the top echelon in our society, because they eat it and testify to it and that is what we want to do so that they will do the marketing for us. So I can say that we are already there at the international market. But the local consumption and our neighboring West Africa countries are also an issue because they come in here in their numbers to buy this rice.

Lalong set to appoint new LG chairmen in Plateau, as APC splits Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State, is set to reconstitute another set of Management Committee Members in the 17 local government councils, an action which seems to be tearing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state apart.

The level of disenchantment of members of the party in the 17 LGA’s is already gathering momentum.

While the people of Pengana in Bassa LGA, from report, have already abandoned the process of selecting their members within the party, to fill the vacant positions of the Management Committee, the process in Langtang North LGA was greeted with stones that made members take to their heels.

In Jos North, the process witnessed members driving their fists into the faces of each other, from the opposing sides within the party, while in Kanam Local Government Area, the report is no different.

Sometime last year, you introduced a policy that abolished selling of foreign rice in Ebonyi State, how has this policy helped in improving rice production and patronage of the local rice?

This is a question that has an answer herein. Of course, we banned the selling of foreign rice here and if you want to import, we would want to see your import license, your duty paid, and we will also see your source to be sure that it is not plastic rice.

These are the issues and every state has a right to ask those questions. Through the program of the Federal Government; the farmers get more money, the farmers have confidence in the system, and because they produced the rice and the rice are bought, they are more engaged in doing that which is important for us.

The issue of smuggling is a huge challenge considering the fact that you are putting modalities in place to protect your farmers so that they can sell when they produce, what is the best way you think the Federal Government should take in tackling the issue of rice smuggling in the country?

I don’t believe that this is a problem, I don’t believe that. Sometime, Federal Government doesn’t want to act because if you look over there you will find out that I am seeing everything that is happening over there at

Lagosians must appreciate Ambode with their votes on Saturday –Olulade The member representing Epe Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Olusegun Olulade, has called on residents of the state to troop out on Saturday, July 22, 2017, and vote for all the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming local government election.

Olulade, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Health Services, explained that the best way for every Lagosian to show appreciation to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for what he has been able to achieve for the state in the last two years, is to vote for all the APC candidates on Saturday.

Speaking on Thursday at an Orphanage home in Agbowa area of the state, where he had gone to celebrate his birthday with children from the Home of God’s Grace Orphanage, the lawmaker noted that the development, which the state has witnessed under the administration of Ambode within a very short period of time, is incomprehensible.

According to him, “a lot of people never expected and believed that Governor Ambode will take Lagos State to where it is right now. The governor has touched virtually every LGAs and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), especially in the area of roads rehabilitation.

“I can still remember vividly that we all benefit-

ted from the 114 roads rehabilitated by Ambode’s administration across the 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas. And also, each of the 57 councils will still benefit from the 288 additional roads to be constructed soon and that means four roads for each council.

“Little wonder all the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Eredo LCDA and Ikosi Ejinrin LCDA, decided to honour the performing gov-

ernor and the First Lady of the state, Mrs. Abimbola Ambode, by withdrawing from contesting in the election,” Olulade said The PDP in Eredo and Ikosi Ejinrin LCDAs recently announced that it would honour Governor Ambode and his wife by not contesting in the forthcoming local government election. The party cited the unprecedented infrastructural development by the governor in Epe division as its reason for withdrawing.

Lagos council poll: Labour Party chair seeks better security Patrick Okohue Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), in Lagos State, Pastor Biodun Popoola has urged the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) to provide adequate security for Saturday’s local government election.

Addressing reporters in Lagos, Popoola narrated his experience when he visited LASIEC’s office on Thursday morning, saying he was molested by some hoodlums, who are believed to be political thugs.

He said while being molested there was no security presence, noting that this gave the hoodlums a free day to carry out their nefarious activities.

The LP chairman called on the Lagos State government to beef up security for Saturday’s election, to ensure safety of lives and property.

He explained that his party, though in alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is not interested in the internal wranglings of the PDP. He said the essence of the alliance is to provide good governance for Lagosians.

“As we go into this election, we should be mindful of our actions and inactions. The people must matter and we must ensure that lives and property are secured during and after the election.

“I am urging the security agencies to curb the criminality associated with election. I do not want to mention names, another chairman from another party had to run for his dear life when we were molested at the LASIEC premises on Thursday.

‘We will establish rice mega city’ the university, I am seeing the section of the road where we have problems that they are escalating our streets cables. So, what is the problem of sitting in one place, and then have these CCTV in some of the flash points around the boarder locations. Government can even install CCTV that people can hardly notice; it can be a wireless one, place it in a tree and get some customs officials that are retired, form them into a committee to mount these boarders and they will do very well. So it is a question of interest that is why we still have smuggled rice. But the customs can also go into the market and ask the rice sellers to show the duty they paid for those imported rice, they have the right to do that unless we are not able to feed our people.

When this argument came, we argued extensively. I am a member of the zero hunger and I am also a member of the presidential Taskforce on food initiative, so the issue came up and we were lobbied to allow importation of rice of a certain percentage and we said no. They said there was no rice in the state and I said let the security agents go through all the rice locations where they are milling so we can find out whether there is any particular day that we have more customers than supplies. And nobody is able to

prove that which means that what we produced is able to sustain the nation. So there shouldn’t be this smuggling. We also found out that Nigeria is one of the few countries that have parboiled rice and when you have a rice that is not parboiled, the highest it will stay is about six months, it will all become chaff and dangerous to health. And you can see the increase in cancer, increase in kidney failure, increase in liver and all sorts of illnesses. It’s a result of all this importation of expired rice. Most of the things imported are expired, we have proven that some rice is plastic rice and we have seen some apples that are coated with wax. So these are dangerous things that are impacting negatively on our health. Therefore, I support every measure that could be taken to stop smuggling.

Ebonyi State is known for yam farming; the Federal Government has launched the exportation of yam to foreign countries, do you support this yam policy and what would your administration do to encourage yam farming in the state to meet the export demand?

We have Special Adviser on Cassava and Maize, so we want to add that responsibility

to him. Our yam is the biggest and the sweetest in the whole country, so I have discussed with the Minister of Agriculture and we have agreed to have certifications for our yam and when that is done, in the next dry season, you will see containers of yams being exported from Ebonyi State.

What is your policy on women empowerment in agriculture?

We have 4000 women and youths that we set aside N1billion for them to come and access; and it takes roughly N100, 000 to cultivate and plant one hectare of land. We want people to be involved, and they should be able to work between 2 to 4 years and we have given these participants N250, 000 grant interest free for them to use and participate in agriculture. On May 29, 2017 we empowered about 2000 widows with N100, 000 each for them to participate in agriculture. So these are the things we have been doing in Ebonyi State. Therefore, the women are more empowered than the men in Ebonyi State and by next year we want to see how we can empower the Army Wives including police and civil Defense wives so that we can improve and feed ourselves.

Youth unemployment in Nigeria

F

ormer president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo sometime ago raised alarm at the increasing unemployment in the country, especially among the youth, and stressed that if urgent steps are not taken to address it, “the country may be sitting on a keg of gun powder.”

Definitely, what the ex-president said is not new to Nigerians, given that the scale of unemployment in the country is approaching a catastrophic proportion. We are equally concerned at the stratospheric rise in unemployment and the consequences it is having on national development. It is a truism that the rate of unemployment is rising and unless this is resolved, the country would be facing a precarious future of restive citizenry.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s unemployment rate has averaged 14.60 percent on yearly basis since 2004.

There is no gainsaying the fact that high unemployment is responsible for increase in the level of frustration and high rate of crime in the country.

It is equally disheartening that despite Nigeria’s vast human and material resources, gross mismanagement, profligate spending, poor leadership and corruption by public officials have stymied the optimal utilisation of these resources in such a way that they would bring maximum economic benefits and employment generation to the citizenry.

Of course, unemployment is widely regarded as a major social and economic global problem, even as the consequences have obvious and well-documented links to economic disadvantages. For example, the unemployed lack the wherewithal to

purchase goods and services.

Therefore, where unemployment is high, investors are reluctant to invest in the production of goods or the provision of services because when production and consumption are down, there is no opportunity to get a return on their investment.

Aside adding to the economic imbalance of the society, unemployment also means that people have less money to pay income tax and less income to spend on goods and services. Moreover, inability to find work by youths usually creates a sense of vulnerability, helplessness and idleness, which in turn heightens the attraction to crimes and criminal tendencies.

Social commentators have for long argued that the worsening employment crisis in Nigeria is partly a reflection of government’s inability to design policies that will create more jobs, or provide the enabling environment to encourage individuals and the private sectors to expand employment opportunities without let or hindrance.

Therefore, it is imperative that all levels of government come up with clear policies to address the complex unemployment conundrum.

Most importantly, there is need to counsel those seeking higher education to pursue relevant courses that would equip them for the job.

In addition, the federal, states, local government and private sector should establish skills acquisition centres to train low and middle level manpower for the economy. Over all, it is important to recognise the fact that Nigeria is in a race against time to address the present job crisis. In short, the reality of unemployment is a problem that may take years to resolve, but must be tackled with urgency.

Aregbesola, Ambode renew call for South West integration

Sodiq Adekunle, Osogbo

ÏÏÏGovernor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state and Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, renewed the calls for and reaffirmed their commitments towards the actualisation of South-West regional integration.

The two governors as making the calls when Ambode paid a courtesy call on Aregbesola at the Government House in Osogbo on Thursday.

This was as Ambode expressed amazement at the pace of development taking place in Osun state despite its

very meagre resources.

He said his administration would do everything possible to support Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun at ensuring the success of his government.

Ambode said it was time for the region to fully exploit its potential by standing by what Aregbesola of Osun has been championing since the beginning of his administration.

He stated that the Lagos state government was fully committed to the regional integration of the South West for its economic potential to be fully harnessed and sustained.

The Lagos state governor added that the time is right for

all well-meaning indigenes of the region to rally round and ensure that the South West begins to rely on its economic endowments as means of being independent.

He said, “We have an historic duty to join Aregbesola in championing what he has been clamouring for, which is the integration of the South west.

“I fully commit myself to the integration of the SouthWest because I believe it is the only way the region can fully explore its potentials for the benefit of all.

“I can assure you that the South West has all it takes

to stand alone and survive without having to depend on any external means of funding.”

Ambode highlighted the developmental strides of Aregbesola in Osun, saying the Governor has laid unprecedented marks of development in the state.

He commended the Governor for being steadfast to weather the financial storm and challenges the state is passing through, while assuring the Osun government that Lagos State will support Osun with what it can to the end.

He urged Aregbesola to continue the good work, saying the reward of hard work is more work while also charging the Governor to ensure that the legacies are not destroyed.

developers in Lagos state have been warned to desist from massive deforestation in the name of site clearance for housing and infrastructural developments, which is in violation to the state agenda on sustainable environment and healthy living.

The state governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, made this call during the 10th Tree Planting Campaign at the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) Oto/Ijanikin, in the state.

Represented by the Provost of the College, Dr. (Mrs.) Ladele Omolola Aina, Ambode stated that indiscriminate felling of trees in the state is a violation of rules and regulations.

He stressed that in the event where trees must be removed to pave way for developmental project, it must be done under the supervision and direction of the Lagos State Parks and Garden Agency (LASPARK).

While commending the efforts of individuals groups, bodies and organizations Ambode maintained that trees are essential to human existences, as they provide food, shelter, remedy for ill health, source of energy and also help to control storm water runoffs, noise pollution, prevent and desert encroachment.

He however, advised “if we must continue to live in good health, planting of trees would not only be an option but a strategy that must be embraced by all. This is because planting of trees is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to preserve mother earth and combat the ravaging effect of climate change.

In his welcome address, the state Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Samuel Babatunde Adejare, represented by Mr. Abiodun Ogunleye, sub-

“We are in consonance with what Aregbesola is doing in Osun. I cannot begin to define how Osun has developed under this administration.

“I am particularly amazed by commitment to developing the state despite the tough economic challenges the state is passing through.

“I want to assure you that Lagos State Government will continue to support Osun till the end with all it can. I don’t want the development to stop and he should be reminded that the reward for hard work is more work,” Ambode stated.

FG bows to pressure, orders immediate separation of CRK, IRK in new curriculum

ÏÏÏThe Federal Government on Thursday bowed to pressure and directed the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) to separate the Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) and Islamic Religious Knowledge (IRK) subjects in the basic education curriculum.

The Daily Times recalls that the grouping of IRK and CRK under the Civic Education in the new curriculum by the NERDC had generated controversy recently with religious leaders, especially the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) calling for their separate teaching.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, gave the directive at a meeting of ministers of Education with education stakeholders from six geo-political zones and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja on Thursday.

The meeting was attended by Commissioners for Education from various states of the Federation and was part of the ongoing

efforts to strengthen the partnership within the three tiers of government in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals 4 (SDG4). Adamu, who was represented by Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Anwukah, said the directive to separate the subjects became necessary because of the various complaints by Nigerians, especially the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). He explained that the collapse of the two subjects was done by former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration to reduce the number of subjects offered by pupils and students in schools.

The minister said: “There is this controversy over the merger of CRK and IRK in the school curriculum. There were complaints by parents that children were overloaded with so many subjects and the recommendation then was to merge one or two subjects.

Unfortunately, water and oil were merged together and it is not working.

“So, to save ourselves the agony, the two subjects should be separated. We push that to the NERDC,” Adamu, in his address, reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government to revamping the education sector and appealed to state governments as well as relevant stakeholders to support the federal government effort.

He also expressed the commitment of the government towards achieving the SDG4 by 2030 in line with the global timeline.

The minister said Nigeria has selected the Goal 4 of the SDGs, which emphasizes inclusive and quality education for all and promotion of lifelong learning, for implementation in view of the importance of education as a fulcrum to national development.

He said the federal government was aware that in the journey towards achieving the Education 2030 Agenda, key issues including the phenomenon of out-of-school children, insecurity in and around the schools and infrastructure decay must be addressed.

ÏÏÏThe Cross River state Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, Hon Itaya Asuquo, has opened up on the cause of fire incident that claimed over 30 lives and properties worth billions of naira destroyed at the Calabar Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) in the early hours of Sunday in which 30 others suffered various degrees of burns.

Daily Times gathered that the tragic incident which emanated from LINC OIL & GAS started at about 1.20 am on Sunday and it was alleged to have caused by negligence and sabotage by some individuals working in the oil firm.

But the Commissioner confirmed that the cause of the recent explosion that claimed scores of lives at Esuk Utan, Calabar was on negligence of the tank farm operators and the vessel. This was contained in the State Ministry of Information and orientation Bulletins made available to Daily Times.

Hon Asuquo stated that the incident could have been averted if the staff of the vessel and that of the tank farm had exercised reasonable caution in the discharge of petroleum product from the vessel into the tank farm.

According to him, the inaction of the tank farm operators in allowing their tank to be overfilled is such that raises concern on the State of equipment and competent staff that could have easily detected that the tank was filled.

He further lamented the breakdown in communication between the vessel and tank farm operators in allowing petroleum product to spill over to many areas and unto the gutter without anyone raising alarm until fire engulfed the entire place.

Enugu Assembly confirms Ugwuanyi’s commissioner nominees Ï Əƃ Ɔ 1 Ɛ ƃƈ Ƅ ƎƆƍƄ ƃ ƂƆ ƄƎè dd1è ƋƄƃƆ Ɖ ƕƐƆ Ƅƍ Titilope Joseph

ÏÏÏA

Lagos Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, has ordered that Baale of Shangisha, Chief Mutiu Micheal Ogundare to be remanded in Kirikiri Prison for allegedly faking his kidnap.

Chief Ogundare was remanded in prison alongside his wife, Abolanle and one Mohammed Opeyemi Babatunde pending perfection of their bail condition. The defendants were arraigned before Magistrate (Mrs.) T. Akanni Thursday on a three count charge offence bordering on breach of public peace and fake kidnapping.

The baale, Chief Ogundare was alleged to have on July 5, arranged for his own kidnap for the purpose of causing breach of public peace” contrary to Section 5 of the Kidnapping Prohibition 2017, No. C17, Law of Lagos state.

Other charge against the defendants stated that: Moham-

med and Abolanle on same day allegedly “did aid, counsel, abet and procure Mutiu Micheal Yusuf Ogundare to fake his kidnap.”

The other defendants were also alleged to have taken part in the offence of fake kidnap contrary to Section 16(1)(a-d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos state.

The defendants however pleaded not guilty to three count charge offence preferred against them.

The defendants’s counsel, Mr. Glory Odimayo, prayed the court to grant them for bail.

In his argument, Odimayo said the defendants are prominent members of the Shangisha community and would not jump bail.

“The third defendant before this incident was the reigning Baale while the second defendant is his wife and as such would not jump bail. I can assure the court that they would not use their position to tamper with evidence already before the court if they were granted bail.”

Odimayo urged the court to grant them bail, stressing that the issue of bail is at the discretion of the court.

The prosecutor, Mr. Peter Okerinmodun, opposed the application, stating that the defendants are popular members of the community and used such relationship to tamper with evidence.

Okerinmodun further told the court that if granted bail, their presence in the community might cause a breakdown of law and order and that they would use their position to influence witnesses.

In her ruling, Magistrate Akanni, agreed with the defence that bail is at the discretion of the court. She thereby granted bail to the defendants, in the sum of N2 million and two sureties in the like sum.

She also said the sureties must include a traditional ruler, person with registered property in Lagos, must be a tax payer and a grade level 17 officer in the state public service.

Moses Oyediran, Enugu

ÏÏÏThe Enugu State House of Assembly, Thursday, screened and confirmed three commissioner nominees sent to them by Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. The names of the commissioner designates were presented before the Assembly last Tuesday.

The commissioner designates confirmed are Dr. Donatus Ani, Mr. Joseph Udeji and Mr. Robert Anikwe Ogbuagu.

Their confirmation followed volleys of questions posed on Messers Udeji and Ogbuagu because Dr. Ani had earlier been asked to take a bow because he has been a statesman who had served the state as an honourable member of the state house of assembly as well as other positions in the state.

Member representing Enugu South Constituency at the Assembly, Hon. Obinna Okenwa moved the motion that there was no need to screen a man who is, according

to him, ‘over qualified,’ and thus his colleagues supported that he should take a bow. After fielding questions from the assembly members who threw a barrage of questions, Udeji and Ogbuagu were equally asked to take a bow.

The confirmation of Mr. Udeji however would have suffered as a result of objection raised by the member representing Udi North, Hon. Johnbull Nwagu who questioned the discrepancies in the dates in the date of birth of Mr. Udeji as well as the date when he did his youth service.

Nwagu equally pointed out that he once had a dealing with Udeji but could not get satisfaction as a banker and doubted if he would make a good commissioner if confirmed.

Udeji’s confirmation was however facilitated with the intervention of the Speaker, Hon. Edward Ubosi who said that he had discussed with Udeji on the discrepancies on the dates on his date of birth and his NYSC discharge certificate.

ÏÏÏEfforts towards reviewing the 1999 Constitution (as amended) got a boost on Thursday as the Senate will on Tuesday next week begin clause by clause consideration of recommendations by its committee on constitution review.

Several attempts towards reviewing the constitution had always been mired in controversies, while recommendations made in that regard were in the process thrown out.

The Senate resolved to consider the Constitution Review Report after the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu laid the Report of the Constitution Review during the plenary.

Laying the report, Ekweremadu said that it was the outcome of the joint sitting of constitution review committees of the two chambers of the National Assembly.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who affirmed that the Senate would begin consideration of the

Report, however, mandated the Senate Clerk, Nelson Ayewor, to ensure that copies of the report were circulated to senators immediately to enable them sufficient time to study the report.

Saraki advised senators to use the weekend to study the report so as to contribute meaningfully during the clause by clause consideration of items in the report.

According to the Senate President, an accelerated consideration and approval of the report would enable the National Assembly to transmit clean copies to the State Houses of Assembly for their input.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi told journalists that there were about 26 bills in the report.

Abdullahi said he has not received a copy of the report, but the essence of breaking the report into bills was to ensure that the rejection of one would not affect the others.

He said that the bills have been carefully crafted so the any one that was rejected by would die alone.

Gunmen kidnap UNIABUJA’s deputy registrar Ï#Ɔƌ Ɨ MǀƠƌ Ə ƌ Augustine Okezie, Abuja

ÏÏÏThe

Deputy Registrar (Institute of Education), of the University of Abuja, Dr. Nura Lawal, was on Thursday kidnapped by unknown gunmen along the now notorious Kaduna-Abuja Highway while returning from Katsina, his home state. He was kidnapped

alongside his wife, who later escaped from their custody.

Narrating their ordeal in the hands of the gunmen to members of staff of the university, Mrs. Nura said their vehicle, a Prado SUV, was cornered off the road alongside several other vehicles that were headed to Abuja, after having being flagged down by the kidnappers near Katari village.

She further disclosed that

they were all hounded to the bush where both their cars and belongings were taken from them at gunpoint. But she was able to escape and reported to the local police station at Katari who told her that they were helpless about the matter.

Mrs. Lawal also confirmed that the kidnappers later called her and demanded a ransom of N50million before they can release her husband.

Meanwhile, the University authorities, while confirming

the incident, pleaded with security agencies and the Inspector General of Police to assist the institution in securing the release of their staff.

The Deputy Registrar (Information) and spokesman of the University, Malam Garba Waziri, who made the confirmation, told Daily Times that Dr. Lawal, whose promotion is due for confirmation by the university’s Governing Council, has made several contributions to the growth and development

of the university especially in his position as the Head of Administration of the Institute of Education.

Recall that the Kaduna –Abuja road has become a dangerous route for motorist and travellers in recent times, prompting the Inspector general of Police to announce the setting up of Police Stations and several checking points at strategic locations to checkmate the scourge but it seems these effort are not yielding the needed result.

News 18 CBN commends Gov Bello over Anchor Borrowers scheme Saka Bolaji, Minna

ÏÏÏCentral

Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has rated the performance of Niger state high in the on-going anchor borrower’s scheme of the apex bank. The bank attributed the success story of the scheme in the state to the commitment and political will accorded it by the governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, stressing that this commitment was responsible for the positive result being posted by the state in Rice production.

The Controller of the Minna branch of the bank, Mr. Mashud Ibrahim Tulu, gave this rating during an interview with newsmen after a courtesy visit on Governor Sani Bello in his office in Minna, the state capital.

Tulu said that over 30,000 farmers have so far benefited from the scheme. According to him, 12,000 farmers participated in the first planting season while additional 18,600 farmers have joined the scheme this season.

The CBN Controller who was just recently posted to the state commended the infrastructural development drive of Governor Sani Bello. His words, “I am highly impressed by your drive to provide infrastructural facilities for the benefit of the people of the state.

“I came in virtually a month ago and while going round the town, I saw a lot of things that attracted my attention such as the well demarcated drainages which will go a long way to solve flooding problems. I also saw well equipped fire service stations with ambulances.

“I have never seen or heard of anywhere in Nigeria where fire service stations are being supported with ambulances. This is a very welcome development in meeting our infrastructure deficiency.

“I also learnt there is regular supply of pipe borne water in Minna, the state capital. To me this is a great achievement,” he added.

He then assured the governor of CBN resolve to continue to partner with his administration’s developmental efforts at “fighting poverty, create employment and generate wealth.”

Shettima, Bill Gates, Dangote hold video-conference ÏÏÏGovernor

Kashim Shettima, Mr. Bill Gates and Alhaji Aliko Dangote have held a video conference for live contributions in 2017 midterm review of routine Immunization that aims at polio eradication across the 27 local government areas of Borno state. World’s richest man, Mr. Gates, joined the discussions on Wednesday from the United States, Africa’s richest man, Dangote, joined from Lagos while Governor Shettima spoke from Maiduguri in the midst of stakeholders that included officials of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency and partners from agencies of the United Nations and others involved in supporting Immunization in Nigeria.

The Borno state Primary

Healthcare Development Agency in Maiduguri was used at the convergence point where officials from Borno State made presentations on successes and challenges so far recorded in 2017 on coverage of Immunization exercises in the State.

Tagged, Midterm Review Meeting on Strengthening Routine Immunization in Borno state,’ the conference agreed on ways to improve Immunization coverage with commitments reaffirmed by all stake-holders.

Gates and Dangote in their separate contributions applauded Governor Shettima’s personal dedication to the fight against Polio in his State. Shettima paid glowing tributes to the two rich men for showing empathy for Borno State. The Governor pledged to increase par-

ticipation of chairmen in the 27 local government areas of the State in order to improve on successes so far recorded.

It would be recalled on January 20, 2016, Governors of Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Borno, Sokoto & Yobe signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Dangote Foundation on stepping up routine immunization that is to be funded

by Gates and Dangote Foundation with counterpart funds to be contributed by benefiting States. The two wealthy men also make donations that strengthen primary healthcare delivery in other parts of the country with particular interest in Polio eradication. Focus is usually determined by statistics of prevalence.

N81.7m fraud: Judge seeks court’s leave to travel abroad for training Peter Fowoyo

ÏÏÏOne month after a Federal High Court Judge, Bayelsa Division, Justice Hyeladzira Nganjiwa, was arraigned over alleged unlawful financial enrichment before the Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, the embattled judge has filed an application seeking the leave of court to travel abroad for training. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on June 23, arraigned Nganjiwa on a 14-count charge bordering on unlawful financial enrichment to the tune of $260,000 and N8.7 million.

He had pleaded not guilty to all the 14 counts preferred against him by the commission.

When the motion filed before the vacation Judge, Justice K .O Dawudu came up for hearing yesterday, the matter could not go on as the counsel to the defendant I. B Mohammed, informed the court that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, refused service.

Mohammed told the court that the Court Sheriff went to the office of the anti- graft agency on July 19, as ordered by the court to serve them with the hearing notice, but the officer at the legal department of EFCC, refused service and said except he is given an instruction by the prosecutor handling the case, he cannot accept service.

He said: “from what the Sheriff of the court Ahmed Olakunle, told me, he said the officer he met at the legal department had a phone conversation with the prosecutor and after which, he told him that he cannot accept the service except he is instructed by the prosecutor.”

According to the counsel the court in its ruling on June 23, when the defendant was arraigned before Justice Adedayo Akintoye, he was to deposit his passport with the court registrar, and where the passport is with the EFCC, the anti- graft agency should deposit it to the court registrar within seven days, that was the ruling of the court and because he was a serving officer he was released on bail on self recognisance.

Appeal Court okays warrant of arrest against Tompolo Andrew Orolua, Abuja

ÏÏÏThe Court of Appeal in Lagos on Thursday dismissed the appeal filed by Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) challenging the warrant of arrest obtained by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for his arrest.

The bench warrant was issued against him

by Justice Ibrahim Buba

of the Federal High Court in Lagos after he failed to appear in court for trial on criminal charges filed against him by the commission.

The Daily Times recalls that the EFCC had on December 15, 2015, instituted a Criminal Charge against Tompolo and 9 others.

But the lawyer to the EFCC, Mr. Festus Keyamo, could not serve Tompolo personally with the summons.

On January 12, 2016, Keyamo applied and obtained an order for substituted service of the said summons by pasting same on Tompolo’s last known address at No. 1 Agbanu DDPA Extension Warri, Delta state.

However, despite the substituted service of same, Tompolo allegedly refused, neglected and failed to appear in court in response to the summons.

Consequently, on January 14, 2016, Justice Buba

issued a warrant for the arrest of Tompolo pursuant to Section 131 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

Tompolo thereafter filed a motion on notice dated January 27, 2016 seeking the following reliefs: an order of court setting aside its order of 12th January, 2016 for issuance of Summons to compel the appearance of the defendant; an order setting aside Charge No: FHC/

L/553C/15 and service of summons to compel the appearance of the defendant and, an order setting aside the warrant for the arrest of the defendant issued on 14 January, 2016.

After listening to arguments of both parties, Justice Buba dismissed Tompolo’s motion. Dissatisfied, Tompolo appealed against the dismissal of his motion.

But in its judgment yesterday, the Court of Appeal

agreed with the EFCC that Tompolo had been properly served with the summons and saw no reason to set aside the subsisting bench warrant against him.

The appellate court unanimously held that Tompolo’s appeal is devoid of any merit and consequently dismissed it. The Court of Appeal also upheld the decision of Justice Buba and the reasons why the bench warrant was issued against Tompolo.

Appeal Court clears ex-Adamawa Gov, Ngilari Tom Garba, Yola An appeal court seating in Yola has today discharged and acquitted former Governor of Adamawa State, Barr Bala James Ngilari, over wrongful Procurement of vehicles meant for State use.

While reading the two hour judgment, Justice O. F. Omoleye based her verdict on a five count charges used in convicting the appellant (Bala) by the Adamawa State High court presided by Justice Nathan Musa.

According her Bala is not a procurement officer and the lower court did not give him a Fair hearing and therefore is ‘’discharged and acquitted.”

The former governor in his response told journalist that his thanks is unlimited to God,saying that in everything he should give thanks to God who knows his life from the beginning to the end ‘’I thank God for all things, he has proven that his a God who knows all things.’’ He said Counsel to Bala, Barr Obed

Wadzani thanked the presiding judge attesting that she rekindle hope the Nigerian masses by upholding the rule of law in the Nigerian constitution. ‘’My client has been vindicated over the crime he knows nothing about, thanks to all Nigerians who prayerfully stood by us to the very end. It’s now over.’’ He Said Recall that 3rd March,2017 a High Court in Yola presided by Justice Nathan Musa convicted former Governor Bala of breaking the law guiding the Bureau of Public procurement.

NHIS sector must not be destroyed, HURIWA urges stakeholders A pro-democracy and nongovernmental organisation, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has urged stakeholders in the health sector particularly the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) not to allow their personal interest override their national interest.

It said the group was worried by the festering crises of confidence playing out in the federal ministry of health with specific reference to the reported intransigence of the now suspended executive Secretary of the NHIS Usman Yusuf and the Minister of health, Prof. Isaac Adewole.

A statement signed by the National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko on Wednesday in Abuja said, HURIWA was intervening in its capacity as practioners in the human rights sector primarily involved in the promotion

of the human rights of all Nigerians amongst which is the right to qualitative healthcare.

HURIWA said: “We expect the health minister and the National Assembly to partner effectively so as to widen the scope of services rendered by NHIS so that all Nigerians are covered by health insurance policy.

“We propose that there should be a national legislation to make it compulsory for every citizen to be enrolled into NHIS because the fundamental human rights to quality and affordable healthcare services are a strategic component of the Universal Declarations of Human Rights.

“We urge the minister of health to scale up his supervisory roles to make sure that all the agencies under his ministerial purview are obliged to comply with the best global services.”

NLC, TUC deny betraying state workers over Paris/ London refund Akam James, Yenagoa

Livingstone’s revelation: Resign now, Rivers APC tells Gov Wike Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt Following the damning revelation by Mr. Livingstone Wechie, the Executive Director of the Integrity Group early this week that all the documents his group used to petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) were allegedly forged, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state has called for the resignation of the Governor Nyesom Wike.

In a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, the Rivers APC alleged: “Governor Wike’s desperation to ridicule Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, his benefactor, mentor and predecessor in office with forged documents is clear. He is bereft of ideas and has no business in the Rivers State Government House. His administration

has only succeeded to bring shame, odium and embarrassment to Rivers State and her people.

The statement which was issued by the Chairman of the APC in the state, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the party continued: “He has for dubious reasons refused to pay our civil servants and Pensioners their salaries and entitlements; he has turned our State to Rivers of blood where human sanctity no longer has any meaning. He has destroyed our economic base and made it possible for foreign investors to invest in the State. Shamelessly, he made the world to believe that he can run a State like Rivers State like Chiefdom with only one paged budgetary provision.

“He has turned our State from the garden city it used to be to Rivers of dustbin. Our schools are now haven for criminals because he decides to close all the modern schools constructed by

the golden administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. If he has any shame he should save us this agony and formally resign without any further delay, failing which the State House of Assembly should commence impeachment proceedings against him if it is not a rubber stamp as widely believed,” the party stated.

The APC recalled: “In a letter dated July 29, 2015, and addressed to the Senate President in a failed bid to stop the confirmation of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as a Minister the documents were all fabricated by the Rivers State Government under the watch of Governor Wike. The tantalising petition, which has now been confirmed to be fake, was laid on the floor of the Senate on August 8, 2015, and followed up with the summoning of Amaechi before the Senate Committee on Public Petitions, Ethics and Privileges on October 12, 2015.”

The organized labour in Bayelsa state has debunked claims of its betrayal of the workforce in the state over the sharing formular of the second tranche of the Paris/London refund released by the federal government.

The state of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), John Ndiomu, and his Trade Union Congress (TUC), counterpart, Tari Dounana, who spoke exclusively with our correspondent in Yenagoa after an interactive meeting with the state government on how to use the funds, noted that contrary to what “mischief makers” in the state claimed, the 75 percent directive by the federal government on paying of backlog arrears of salaries, have been achieved.

Comrade Dounana, who gave the breakdown, said that their sole aim of meeting the government was based on the clearing the backlog of arrears, disclosing that out of the N10billion refund, N919 million was allocated to the local government council, about N7 billion will go for salary payment for state workers, pensioners and those on death benefits.

He also commended the federal government for promptly publishing the right figures released to states unlike what happened with the first tranche, advising that it should be a continuous process so that it will enable the public and workers know what was allocated to their states.

He urged the federal government to henceforth remove the

clause of what percentage should be used for the payment of salaries, but rather an order of 100 percent salary payment, adding that if clauses are injected into the monies it will pave way for other anomalies that will be capitalized on the clause.

The NLC Chairman, Mr. Ndiomu, stated that the earlier agreement was for government to pay two months salaries but when they did the calculation, it was over the stipulated 75 percent for salary backlog because of the huge wage bill of the state and the additional local government council salaries, noting that they will continue to engage government and ensure the workerforce of the state gets what is due them.

He submitted that the same way they have been engaging government to ensure that not one naira of their salaries of 2017 is owe them, they will continue to work and ensure all the backlogs of last year is paid, noting that the assurances are that there’s a relative increase in the allocation compare to last year.

In his brief, the Secretary of the state NLC, Comrade Dinepri Yorukere, said “We looked into the figures before decision were taken, we are not on any persuasion or either compelled do agree but we critically examined what the implications were, the LGA council monies were removed, pensioners added and we all know the huge wage bill of the state so we considered all of that so that government can also have something to run with..

Amori, a former Delta Central Senator who was recently sacked by the Court, however said the party’s quest for power in 2019 was for all members to embrace reconciliation move by the party leadershiip.

According to him, “The only gateway to achieve this feet is by embracing painstaking dialogue and brace up ahead of the 2019 general election in other to

take back power.”

While appealing to members to keep faith with the party, “PDP is Poised to wrestle power from the ruling party. “Our party will take over power in 2019.

“Nigerians have seen the difference between us and the others and the choice of who to follow will be obvious in the next election.

“The current administration has deepened the level of poverty of Nigerians and we need to come together as a family to restored hope back to Nigerians.

“The tasked will be enormous but with unity of purpose, it is a small thing that is achievable.

“Let not your heart be troubled.Let no man’s heart fail him or her on how we will get back power. The current hardship in the country would have been averted if PDP was in

power he stated.”

While expressing the determination of the Makafi led leadership to restore the lost glory of the party, he said all hands must be on deck to return all former members of the party back to the fold.

Amori, while emphasising the effort of the current leadership of the party in rebuilding every burnt bridge, said, “We are trying to re-unite the party because of the previous crisis.

“We have to be tolerant.

Unity and reconciliation are very important for us in the party before we can face the 2019 election.

“PDP is the only political party that practices internal democracy, we believe in equal rights, values our cultural diversities and respect for our religious varieties.

“As a political party that

believes in free and fair election for sustaining democratic legitimacy, we have no iota of doubt that leadership must change hands in no distance time.”

The former law maker also disclosed that a mega unity rally shall soon be organised to re-unite members and welcome new members back to the fold as part of the reconciliation move by Makafi.

While calling on those who have genuine grievances to come for dialogue Amori affirm that the leadership of PDP is ready to listen to these grievances.

He appealed to those waging war against the party to lay down their ambition and burn every bridge of segregation for common goal.“No victor no vanquished in the Supreme Court judgment .it is a win win for all members,” he stated.

People’s Parliament moves to change Nigeria’s political culture Gbubemi God’s Covenant Snr

Ï ƋƋ Ƈ Ə ƍ ƏƐƈƅƈƍ Ɛ Əƕ Ə Ə Ɛ ƒƆƏ ƅƆè j Ɠ 6 ƋƋ 0 ƏƑƌ

It is a new dawn in the evolution of political governance since Nigeria’s independence. A move that, if sustained and the electorate lives up to their responsibilities, the psyche of the average Nigerian - down to grassroots dwellers - would change and the electorate would snap out of its doldrums. The result will see voters directing the course of societal and political propriety in grassroots governance across the country.

Gone would be cash-in-hand or moneypolitics and the drive to be accountable in leadership positions across board would become a standard.

A tall dream for a nation so politically distorted, but the foundation was laid in Lagos on Saturday, July 15th, 2017, by a collection of people, passionate for good

governance and hungry for the elusive change credible Nigerians have been chasing for decades.

Under the aegis of Ojodu People’s Parliament, the group went on a massive electioneering sensitisation road march around Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA).

Beginning from Haco Junction (Adekunle Village) in Adeniyi Jones, the march took off about 9 o’clock in the morning and rounded up at Oluwole Estate also in Ikeja, after some seven hours of music orchestrated neighbourhood campaign through Muyibi Street, Ajayi Road on to Yaya Abatan via Excellence Hotel and Ogunusi Road - all the way to Ojodu, Berger, Oke-Ira and the Lagos State Secretariat.

Clad in white branded t-shirts atop jeans, skirts and jumpers according to choice, the Parliamentarians moved in a motorcade, led by an open truck equipped with high powered amps, a running generator with one of the leaders, septuagenarian Mrs. Olaide Ogunlewe blaring out the creed of the march and the message was clear and simple: AWARENESS MESSAGE: “Come out and meet the people who are asking for your votes. They want to govern you? Then come out and know them one-on-one. We are asking you to come and ask them questions and tell them what you want them to do for you.

“Come and know the candidates you are voting for so you can hold them accountable. Stop selling your votes for a cup of rice.

“Power belongs to all of us…Come out

and play your part.

This government, na we get am.

“Stop asking the wrong people questions. Come and tell the candidates about the gutters around you, the state of your markets, electricity, water, ask what they will do about your roads.

“Before now, you did not know. Now that you know, come out and ask them questions. It is your government; they are your servants.

Come to Excellence Hotel, Ogba, on Tuesday from 5pm – 9pm,” and lots more.

To clear doubts about who they are, the message adds: “We are not politicians; we are not canvassing for votes. We want you to know that you have the power and the vote and you can hold your leaders accountable.”

The passion and zeal that powered the march were unprecedented and uncommon in the Nigerian polity. Everyone was mobile and a handful of them carried bold placards with inscriptions that amplify the message of the theme: *Know your candidates. You can hold them accountable *Power belongs to all of us. Come and play your part *Stop selling 4 years of your life for a cup of rice *Se na like this we go de deh?, among others.

People’s Parliament to change Nigeria’s political culture CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Each Parliamentarian engaged standers-by, they approached those watching from behind their gates or inside their compounds; market women in their shops, tricycle operators loading in garages, motorists caught in the traffic, etc.

Even residents, motorists, commuters and market women and children were visibly impressed as the convoy blared the message along the long route round the Ojodu LCDA. At strategic points, the convoy stopped to draw sensitise members of the public and drive the message home.

The people behind the great effort took a leaf from the “Road Show” of the 1960s when you had to make a public show to attract attention. They had a group of young theatre arts children, extremely exciting dancers-cumdemonstrators who drew large crowds of people to gather and as they watched, they listened.

And the message was blaring, members of the team engaged people in their shops, at their gates, in their tricycles, even mechanics at their duty posts in a heart-to-heart discussion.

At the transformed Berger terminal, the group engaged hard core area fathers, taxi driver’s association officials, even National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) officials and some radical youths on a “let’s-reason-this-out-together” discourse.

Confrontation, apprehension At Shonola Street junction, off Ogunshola Street, inside Ogba, the rally team ran into some APC counselors and chairmen campaign convoy.

There was apprehension on the part of the politicians suspecting that the Peoples’ Parliament rally was campaigning against them. They were however enlightened that their candidates have to face the people on Tuesday and answer questions from the electorate.

Mixed reactions The march on Saturday unveiled different levels of understanding amongst the electorate. While a section sneered and muttered that “they are politicians, na money dey talk”, a greater category of people were visibly impressed. Some responded, saying “Yes, it is time we question them! We cannot continue like this,” while a different segment appeared indifferent.

It was indeed a new dawn, a show of passion to get things right for a change and a very healthy, laudable interactive development.

But laudable as the project is, it was clear that the culture

Stakeholders applauding response from a political candidate:

of “money-for-vote” polity has taken root as corruption. And to compound the situation, unemployment, poverty and a bleak future have made a larger section of the electorate so vulnerable that this kind of sensitization and vision would no doubt require sustained consistency and drive to be able to remove the veil from the eyes of the average electorate and really encourage the people rise up to their rights.

The Tuesday Town Hall Meeting On Tuesday July 18, 2017, the Banquette Hall of the exclusive Excellence Hotel in Ogba, Ikeja began to gather crowds from late afternoon. Officials of Ojodu People’s Parliament had set the stage to receive candidates of the political parties and stakeholders - and they were not disappointed.

Apparently, some political

parties and their candidates were not comfortable with the invitation to come and defend their manifesto or face the electorate, for it was observed that all the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to show up to face the people.

However, the turnout was about 60 percent of the expected 200. Candidates of the Accord Party and their supporters were fully represented and other counsellorship and chairmanship candidates were present.

The questions and answers Parley was encouraging and promising as both sides showed renewed awareness and dire need for accountability to the people. However, officials of Ojodu People’s Parliament acknowledged that this is just the starting point.

Mrs. Olaide Ogunlewe, reviewing the parley on Wednesday morning, told The Daily

PHOTOS: TIMI BAKARE

Times that the 60 percent turnout was a pass mark.

“It was a good turnout; everything went very well; the Baales were there; reps of Oba of Aguda were there, the clergy and people from all walks of life were present.

“The people have asked their questions and the candidates have answered; let’s wait and see what will happen after the Saturday polls.”

The next step, it was gathered, would be a continuation of the Town Hall Meeting.

“Immediately after the inauguration of successful candidates, we will give them a few months to settle down, and then invite them to periodic parliamentary meetings, just like the one we held on Tuesday,” Ogunlewe continued.

“We will say to them: Now you have been voted in, you have settled down, what are your plans?

What are you going to do? These are the things you told us you will do if voted in, and so on.

The idea is that we want to begin to hold them accountable for good grassroots governance right from the beginning.

“The Parliamentary meeting is planned to be a regular feature but we are yet to determine its regularity; may be once in a quarter, whether once in two months, etc.”

The Daily Times learnt firsthand that the Ojodu Parliamentarians are not working alone.

According to a release signed

by Steering Committee leader, Comrade Omoaholo Omoakhalen, the Rally and Town Hall Forum are part of many efforts designed to foster citizens’ participation in grassroots governance across the country, and aimed at enriching the democratic space; the activities are important aspects of a recently launched initiative, My Local Government Nigeria (My LG NG).

While My LG NG is intended to target the over 800 Local Governments and LCDAs in Nigeria in the near future, Ojodu LCDA is chosen as the pilot project.

The Rally was deliberately timed to prepare the people for the Local Government elections in Lagos State coming up tomorrow, Saturday July 22, 2017 and the end purpose is to create an all-inclusive Ojodu People’s Parliament (OPP). This is expected to contribute and shape out the conduct of free, fair and credible elections in 2017 and beyond and, in the long term, institute a culture of good grassroots governance whereby citizens hold their local government leaders accountable, and by extension, their commissioners, ministers, governors, senate constituency representatives and ultimately, the president and vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The group, The Daily Times gathered, has been working behind the scene in areas of policy advisory for the development of programmes that redress systemic failure in public secondary schools and for civil liberty groups like Save Nigeria Group (SNG), among others.

ICRD Another arm of the body is the International Centre for Reconstruction and Development (ICRD), which, The Daily Times learnt, has been quietly reconstructing the community socially, economically and politically.

ICRD is a neutral, none partisan, None Governmental Organisation which has been involved in the social and economic aspects of the society behind the scene but now launched to enter into mainstream politics.

AF President Ahmad and FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura have at different fora in Rabat, Morocco affirmed that Nigeria has become a strong player in international football politics and therefore has a key role in driving the new vision of the Confederation of African Football.

A two –day symposium on the future of the African game ended in the Moroccan capital on Wednesday, attended by Presidents and General Secretaries of CAF’s Member Associations, Chairmen of Leagues, mar-

Ikeme’s illness: Kanu calls for Enyeama’s return month.

The Super Eagles are still in search of Enyeama’s full-time replacement following the Lille goal-minders international retirement in 2015 - with Daniel Akpeyi having manned the goals last time out.

Akpeyi was unconvincing in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)

defeat to Bafana Bafana, with the burly shot-stopper unlikely to continue in goal. Head coach Gernot Rohr is reportedly set his sights on goalkeepers plying their trade in Nigeria, with Carl Ikeme out of contention after he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia recently.

With no end in sight to the goal-

keeping conundrum, former Arsenal forward Kanu has called on Enyeama to come out of retirement.

“As it is now we need Vincent badly. In my opinion, Enyeama should come back immediately,” Kanu said.

“Whoever is close enough to reach him should tell him to start coming back.

Ahmad,Samoura insist Nigeria has key role in change agenda keting, media and legal experts, as well as legends of the game.

Proposals and recommendations have been made to the CAF Executive Committee on a wide range of changes meant to foster rapid development of African football, and

the body met on Thursday, with an Extra-Ordinary General Assembly scheduled for today to consider recommendations for approval.

On Wednesday, while receiving members of the Nigerian delegation to the symposium, led by NFF President Amaju Pinnick, Ahmad again expressed appreciation for the support of Nigerians during his campaign and particularly lauded the courage and spirit of the NFF boss.

“I appreciate the role of Nigeria, and this is time for the hard work, Nigeria must also play a key role. The CAF is for you and for me. We have to do the work that is necessary to propel the long –term development of African football.

“The work will not be easy, and will demand energy and commitment, but I count on the support of Nigeria.”

Samoura, who spent several years working for the United Nations in Nigeria before her appointment last year, said while also receiving the Nigeria delegation that Africa’s most populous nation would have to remain at the forefront in driving the vision that will lead to the success of the new CAF team.

“Before and since the coming of the new Executive Committee of CAF, Nigeria has played an important role. You must continue to play that same role and give support for the administration to overcome whatever challenges there might be along the way.”

In the meeting with Ahmad, the Nigerian delegation wished him success in his tenure as CAF President while pledging Nigeria’s support for the change agenda.

“I am already a Member of the Executive Committee and President of AFCON. But I can want to say that there are other highly qualified Nigerians in different aspects of football governance who can offer quality service to help CAF’s new direction.”

While with Samoura, the delegation thanked FIFA for appointing Pinnick as Member of the influential Organizing Committee for FIFA Competitions, and also for the election, two months ago, of former Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Ayotunde Phillips as Member of the highly respected FIFA Ethics Committee (Adjudicatory Chamber).

nauguration of all 31 National Sports Federations will take place today at the National Stadium Abuja by 2pm.

The outstanding elections in Rugby and Gymnastics were ongoing as at time of writing this report.

Some of the crucial decisions were taken by the Arbitration and Harmonization Committee comprising the Nigeria Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Youth and Sports which also necessitated the delay of the bye elections.

In some major decisions taken, the Arbitration and Harmonization committee upheld elections in the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and the Weightlifting Federation.

Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau’s election as President of AFN was upheld as well as the North West zone where he emerged from, while Patrick Estate Onyedum’s election as South East representative was also upheld. His challenger Christy Opara

Asonze was dismissed because she had served a 5-year ban for drug use by WADA and was not eligible to contest as stipulated in the guidelines.

Solomon Ogba was returned also as Sponsor/Ex-officio of AFN as approved by the federation while the case of Hamid Adio was dismissed.

Rosa Collins and Brown Ebewele were earlier reinstated as representatives of NAWIS and Technical representatives.

The case of Haruna Bako and that of Charles Yayock of the North West Zone were both dismissed for lack of merit.

In Traditional Sports, the election of Mallam Usman Musa as the duly elected President was upheld and not Mohammed Garba Lere.

The Committee was furnished with fresh pictorial evidence and interviews with those at the election venue proving that Musa Usman won the election and he was so declared winner.

The Federation is however mandated to appoint an international

representative as the committee affirmed the reversal of Mohammed Abdullahi who is the current President of Archery.

In Rugby, the petitioner Ntiense Williams presented a historic analysis of Rugby activities in Nigeria and called on the Ministry to use the guidelines used by other sports federations in the June 13 elections.

In Weightlifting, the election of Hon Yahaya Mohammed as President was upheld as well as that of the Vice President Emeka Daniel Nwankwo. There will be no fresh elections in that federation.

The Presidential election in Judo was upheld. The committee ruled that bye election in the South west should take place.

Petition by Alhaji Mohammed Sule of the Cycling federation was dismissed as he failed to pay Appeals processing fees within 48 hours of making his appeal.

There will also be no fresh elections in Taekwondo as Ex-officio and philanthropist representative, George Ashiru, was reinstated as a

Minister of Youth and Sports, Barr.

Solomon Dalung. board member.

In Table Tennis, Kayode Ayodele was also reinstated as Athletes’ representative.

However, the Harmonization Committee ordered fresh elections to be held in Gymnastics as the electoral Committee members petitioned that the conduct of the previous elections were held under duress. New electoral committee members will be appointed for the election.

Umar scores in Roma penalty defeat

Nigeria’s Sadiq Umar was on target for AS Roma as they bowed to PSG in the International Champions Cup as they lost a dramatic penalty shoot-out in Michigan. The teams could not be separated in normal time, with Roma coming from behind to level matters before eventually bowing 5-3 in the shoot-out.

Bidoung calms Cameroon AFCON fears Despite calls to move the 2019 CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament from Cameroon, the country’s Sports Minister Ismael Bidoung has calmed fears on their readiness. According to reports doing the rounds on the continent, there are fears that the continental showpiece could be staged elsewhere as Cameroon is not ready. The reigning African champions won the rights to host the next showpiece, however there are already concerns over the pace of preparations, but Bidoung insists they will be ready by the time the tournament schedule is on.

Italy FA probe false African visas

Italian police are investigating football clubs for allegedly getting young African players, mainly Ivorians, to obtain false papers in a probe that could involve Serie A teams. The inquiry centres on AC Prato, which plays in the Lega Pro league, amid suspicions that managers favoured the illegal entry into Italy of African minors, some of whom were then sold to superior clubs. Two unnamed Serie A teams and one Serie B team had been searched as part of the probe.

Monaco condemn Mbappe approaches M

onaco have released a statement condemning a number of Europe’s top football clubs for making unauthorised contact with Kylian Mbappe.

The 18-year-old is one of the most highly sought-after players in world football, with Manchester City, PSG, Arsenal and Real Madrid all linked with a transfer.

Monaco have not confirmed which clubs made illegal approaches for the France international forward, but are hoping that the French Football League and FIFA can prevent it from happening again.

The statement reads: “AS Monaco regretfully notice that great European football clubs made contact with Kylian Mbappe and his entourage without its authorisation.

“AS Monaco want to remind to these clubs that such actions are contrary to the article 211 of the Administrative regulation of the French Football League (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and to the article 18.3 of the Regulation of the Status and the Transfer of the Players of FIFA.

Roma snap up €18m Defrel

Red Devils urged to sign Wanyama

anchester United have been urged to raid Tottenham for the services of Victor Wanyama.

The Red Devils have been busy this summer, spending in excess of £100million on Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku.

However, Jose Mourinho has admitted that he is not satisfied and has a total of four players on his summer wishlist.

Manchester United are keen to strengthen their heart of midfield with Chelsea star Nemanja Matic linked in recent weeks. However, former Tottenham defender Jason Cundy thinks Mourinho would be better off signing the Kenyan captain from Spurs.

“If Man United are after anyone, why don’t they go for Wanyama? He is a Jose Mourinho-type player,” Cundy said.

Wanyama joined Tottenham from Southampton last summer for £11million and he has since become a key player for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Defrel

oma have signed striker Gregoire Defrel from Sassuolo in a deal that could rise to be worth €18 million.

The 26-year-old French forward joins Roma on an initial loan from Sassuolo – where he scored 23 goals in 73 appearances under new Giallorossi boss Eusebio Di Francesco – and has agreed a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico running until June 2022.

Roma will pay Sassuolo €5m loan fee for 2017-18, with an obligation to make the transfer permanent for €15m, should certain sporting targets be met.

Further performance-related payments worth up to an additional €3m could also be paid depending on Defrel’s and Roma’s achievements over the course of the contract.

“It means a lot to me to be able to play for Roma,” Defrel said. “I’m going to be part of a very strong group, one of the best teams in Italy.

“I’m delighted to be here and I will give my all for the team.”

Defrel is Roma’s second signing from Sassuolo since Di Francesco agreed to become Luciano Spalletti’s successor in the capital after the club exercised a buyback clause to sign midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini last month.

The latest athletes to be approved to compete as neutrals are Ilya Ivanyuk (high jump), Sergey Litvinov (hammer), Alena Lutkovskaya (pole vault), Danil Lysenko (high jump), Sofia Palkina (hammer), Valery Pronkin (hammer), Vladislav Saraykin (race walk) and Ekaterina Sokolenko (3,000m steeplechase).

Messi is world’s best, says Neymar Barcelona star Neymar could not hide his praise for team-mate Lionel Messi as he recognised it is near impossible to pinpoint what makes the Argentine the best player in the world. Neymar and Messi have formed a stunning partnership at Camp Nou over the last four years, which has only been improved with the addition of Luis Suarez after the Brazilian’s first season.

Danilo set for Man City move M Stories by FRANK JUMBO with Agency Reports

Wanyama

anchester City are close to signing Real Madrid fullback Danilo, according to widespread media reports on Thursday.

Pep Guardiola made full-backs his top transfer priority in the close season having released Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna, and Brazilian international Danilo is on the verge of joining Kyle Walker as City’s latest recruit in that position.

The deal for the 26-year-old is expected to cost the Premier League side around £26 million ($33.7 million, 29.3 million euros), and with Walker signed in a transfer which could rise to £54 million, that would take City’s spending on full-backs alone past the £80 million mark.

Danilo, who joined European champions Real in 2015 from Porto, started just 17 Spanish league games last season with Dani Carvajal often preferred in the right-back role.

The Spanish international started ahead of Danilo in the Champions League final in Cardiff as Real Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 to lift their 12th European Cup.

NOTAP may stop banks’ craze for foreign software

Diamond bank may face bleak Q3 /Q4 over Apapa branch arsonist attack Bonny Amadi

Following the fire incident, which engulfed some banks in Lagos, on Wednesday, Diamond Bank Nigeria Plc may have entered another era of weaker performance, as its high performing branch located in the business hub of Apapa, continues to articulate negative impacts of erosion of operations caused by the fire incident.

It was reported that angry mobs on Wednesday July 19th, 2017, set ablaze a branch of Diamond Bank on Burma Road and another branch of Sterling Bank on Wharf Road.

It was revealed that tanker drivers usually park in front of the banks and effort by the security agent to stop them had proved abortive.

Consequently and regrettably, a policeman allegedly shot dead one of the tanker drivers, leading to protests by his colleagues, resulting to burning of the banks.

However, it was gathered that, Policemen from Rapid Response Squad, Anti-riot Squad and Area B Command, as well as operatives from the Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft, have been deployed to the scene of the incident.

Meanwhile, cross section of stakeholders have said that the fire incident in Diamond bank is likely to negatively impact the operations of the bank and confidence of depositors or the security of their investments.

Some of the respondents, who spoke to Daily Times on condition of anonymity, said that in the 2016 financial year when there was no recorded incident of such nature, the bank could not pay dividend, as its provisioning remained high. Wednesday’s incident, they said, could be build up to the third quarter (Q3) and fourth quarter (Q4) 2017 results of the bank.

Mr. Godwin Anono, Chairman Standard Shareholders Association of Nigeria told Daily Times in a phone interview that the incident portents challenge ear for the ban as it is likely to take a heavy chunk of funds to fix and cover losses caused by the fire.

TSA: Court orders 7 banks to remit $793.2m with CBN Peter Fowoyo

Seven commercial banks in the country were, on Thursday, ordered by a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, to temporarily remit a total of $793,200,000 allegedly hidden with them with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. The court said the banks were being penalised for contravening of the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account, TSA’s policy.

It would be recalled that at the

onset of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in 2015, he had ordered Ministries, Department and Agencies, MDAs to henceforth, maintain a single account. Hitherto, the MDA have maintained multiple accounts, which the government viewed did not allow for transparent government financial operations, as they created loopholes for corruption.

Justice Chuka Obiozor, had ordered the seven banks to remit the various amounts being allegedly

kept illegally in their custody to the designated Federal Government’s Asset Recovery dollars’ account domiciled with the CBN. In the court processes filed by counsel for the Attorney General of the Federation, Prof. Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN), a total of $367.4m was illegally hidden by three government agencies in UBA, while a sum of $41m was illegally kept in a NAPIMS fixed deposit account with Skye Bank.

DISCOs back FG’s N1trn debt restructuring plan

Simon Ugwu

Power distribution companies (DisCos) on the platform of Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), threw its weight behind plans by the Federal Government to restructure over N1 trillion being accumulated debt owed by the power sector investors.

It also lamented the challenge of inflated invoices issued by Generation Companies (GenCos).

Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, ANED spokesman Sunday Oduntan, said the frightening debt only reflected in the books of Discos, a development that paints them as chronic debt-

ors unworthy of any form of partnership with local and offshore banks.

According to him, Discos had always canvassed for transparent operations by stakeholders in the power sector so that Nigerian consumers will get the best of services.

“The recent plan by the government to restructure the N1 trillion shortfall is a vindication of what ANED has been saying.

Discos carry the deficit of the entire industry in our books. Now, let everyone carry their own cross,” he said.

“We are also not happy with the inflated and doctored invoices. How can capacity charge be higher than energy charge? It

should be aligned with energy I got. I can’t pay for what I need not use. We cannot allow fraud to thrive. It is like fixed charge being higher than consumption charge. It is unfair”, Oduntan stated.

He however hailed the Federal Government for intervening in the sector so as to ensure all players are treated fairly.

“What the government is doing now is commendable and we also want them to walk the talk.

Let GenCos and the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET) open their books.

We want transparency in the system. We are ready to work with the government to make the sector whole.

Don proposes new revenue formula for Nigeria Ganiyu Obaaro Following the ongoing clamour across the country for a rejig of the current revenue formula, which has given its chunk to the Federal Government, as against the states and local governments across the country, a university lecturer has proposed a new formula to be adopted by the government, so as to address critical issues, such as fiscal federalism, equity and justice in Nigeria.

He said the Federal Government should get 30%, while states and local governments should share the remaning 70%.

According to Professor Samuel J. Timothy-Asobele, of the Department of European Languages, University of Lagos, who made the suggestion, while presenting a paper entitled: ‘Reading from 3 unending transition plays,’ at the University of Lagos, on Thursday, said, “This will address the inequality and agitations across the country. The Federal Government should allow the states and local governments handle economic sectors like, agriculture, water resources, forestry, tourism and roads, while it the government at the centre handles foreign policy, finance, etc.”

He said that various groups agitating for Nigeria’s breakup, particularly the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, should not be allowed to have their way, but however, urged the government to address their demands, as well as tackle unemployment, injustice, poverty and crimes/criminality that are threatening the existence of the country.

He said theatre remained a tool to correct economic and social ills in the country, and counseled that, with a solid economic base, economic disparity in the country would be addressed.

Timothy-Asobele said, “Nigeria is a collective responsibility, we are using the theater to stop any impending war in this country.”

Alluding to Timothy-Asobele’ position, Professor Hope Eghagha, Head Department of English Language in the same university, who was the programme’s moderator, said each federating unit should be allowed to control its resources.

Business News B2 EPZ; Kwara seeks partnership with Bank of Industry, SMEs Kehinde Akinpelu Ilorin Kwara State Government has expressed its determination to establish an export processing zone in the state to encourage exportation of goods from the state and the neighboring states to enhance its internal generated revenue and boost economic activities.

The state government, has therefore, sought a more robust collaboration with the Bank of Industry, BoI, to ensure effective realisation of this goal.

The state governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, who disclosed this in Ilorin, Kwara state capital, when he hosted the Management of the Bank of Industry(BOI), led by its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, MD/ CEO, Mr. Olukayode Pitan, said arrangement was in top gear to fast-track the development of the free trade zone.

According to the governor, “the state government had made initial submissions, through the Bank of Investment; and hope to follow it up in areas where the state will be able to create Export Processing Zone through key anchor tenants, which is already on the ground.”

The governor, who underscored the importance of the free trade zone, said the government would spare no effort to ensure that the plan becomes a reality.

Ahmed also said that the zone will generate more job opportunities for teaming youths across the state as a result of economic activities from the zone.

According to the governor, “the plan to have an Export Processing Zone in the state is part of the government’s plan to turn around socio-economic activities of the state.”

The governor, who spoke about his government economy recovery strategy, through support for Small Medium Enterprises, solicited for further support from the BoI for upcoming entrepreneurs in the state.

Pitan, who praised the government for its various supports for Small and Medium Enterprises in the state, said the bank had more than N12billion facilities in the state.

Pitan explained that N9billion had been distributed to various companies in the state and promised to do more.

The MD/CEO also sought for further partnership with the state for sustainable growth and development.

NCC decries rising theft of telecom facilities Tony Nwakaegho The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has expressed worry about the increasing rate of theft of telecommunication equipment across the country.

Executive Vice Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, stated this in Gombe while delivering a welcome address at a one-day sensitisation workshop organised by NCC for law enforcement agencies in the North East.

Danbatta, who was repre-

sented at the event by Head, Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Department, Efosa Idehen, lamented the rising cases of vandalisation of telecom’s infrastructure, such as installations, adding that this has surpassed cybercrimes.He said te development has been a source of concern to the NCC. According to him,“We have also seen proliferation in the sale and usage of pre-registered Subscribers Identification Module (SIM) cards.”

NCC, he said, has rolled out various campaign strategies to educate the general public on

implications and consequences of undermining the integrity of telecoms operation.

He stated further that the commission has instituted series of social capital programmes to galvanise the country’s socio-economic transformation, including the commissioning of over 700 projects in various institutions of learning across the six geopolitical zones under its school support programmes.

He said that even though the sector is now contributing nearly 10 per cent to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP),

NCC foresees greater development in that sector and fully committed to the implementation of the National Broadband Plan deploying more broadband fibre networks beyond major cities.

In view of this, he added, the Commission has issued licenses to two infrastructure companies, while the remaining five companies will be licensed shortly.

“This is expected to further boost business, as well as, improve life and catalyze economic growth at the remotest areas,” the NCC boss said.

NOTAP may stop banks’ craze for foreign software

By Tony Nwakaegho In order to reduce the craze for foreign software infrastructure acquisition, the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) says it will start dishonouring banks’ requests for foreign software purchases, because of the drain such a move portends for the nation’s foreign exchange reserves.

The Director-General of NOTAP, Dr. Dan-Azumi Ibrahim, who made this revelation, recently in Abuja during the presentation of patent certificates to some institutions, said that the Agency was already putting the finishing touches to its plans to encourage local initiatives in the facility.

He said,“We are already

working in partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to have Nigerians to develop banking applications.

Once we are done, we will start refusing the banks’ applications for foreign software purchases.”

Dr. Ibrahim pointed out that banks were the biggest consumers of software in Nigeria, adding that four out of five items in software were on banking applications.

“This is our target. If we are able to develop banking applications by ourselves, we should be able to reduce if not replace foreign software consumption,” he stated.

The DG NOTAP disclosed that a bank can spend up to $20million for just one software. This, according to him, is

huge. He argues that if Nigerians are able to develop banking software that meets the acceptable standard that will be the beginning of saving a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

He said he was already seeing that happening with the output of some young Nigerian innovators, who are producing world-class applications.

Daily Times gathered that those that received patent certificates at the ceremony, included, the Airforce Institute of Technology, which received a patent for Unmanned Ground Vehicle.

Others that also received certificates were the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi, Lagos, which received three patents, and the National Institute for Oil Palm Research, which received two patents.

$277.9m was hidden in Diamond Bank; $18.9m in First Bank; $24.5m in Fidelity Bank; $17m in Keystone Bank; and $46.5m in Sterling Bank.

Mr. Vincent Adodo, a lawyer from Akinseye-Georges’s law firm who deposed to a 15-paragraph affidavit in support of an ex parte application filed by the AGF, stated that seven banks colluded with Federal Government officials to hide the funds in breach of the government’s TSA policy.

The funds, he said, were revenues, donations, transfers, refunds, grants, taxes, fees, dues, tariffs etc accruable to the Federal Government from different ministries, departments, parastatals and agencies.

Adodo said the banks had failed to remit the funds to the TSA domiciled in the CBN, in violation of the guidelines issued by the Accountant General of the Federation, which fixed September 15, 2015 as the deadline for such funds to be moved.

He said, “The 1st to 7th respondents (banks), in collaboration with and/or collusion with unknown officials of the Federal Government, conspired to disobey the relevant constitutional provisions, thereby depriving the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria of funds belonging to it, which are needed urgently to fund pressing national projects under the 2017 budget.”

Among the allegedly culpable government agencies, is the National Petroleum Developing Company.

tees, waivers and other forbearances over the course of the last one year which have also now been extended for another year. Restating its commitment to chart a sustainable future for the bank, the bank also noted that it has reached settlement and restructuring agreements with many of the chronic bad debtors resulting in substantially improved payments and prospects of future recoveries.

Commenting on the vicious social media campaigns against the bank, the bank berated the sponsors of such messages, whom it noted, were acting in the hope of escaping lawful debt obligations or accountability for past misdeeds; and further restated its commit-

ment towards ensuring that all those who are found to have committed economic crimes and infractions are brought to justice.

It noted that the it was working closely with CBN and its financial advisers have identified clear and viable options for recapitalizing the bank and repositioning it for future growth assuring its stakeholders - customers, employees, shareholders, institutional partners and regulators of its continuing commitment to the success and sustainability of the institution.

Naira strengthens at parallel market, gains 0.25% at NAFEX The Nigerian currency, Naira, on Thursday, strengthened further to close at 366 per US Dollar against 367 sold on Wednesday at the parallel market, while extended its gains by 0.25 per cent at the Nigeria Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEX) window.

The local currency, at the official foreign exchange market on Thursday, relapsed to close at a slight depreciated rate of 305.80, representing a decline of 0.15 per cent against rebounded rate of 305.35 traded on Wednesday.

But the Naira, which had depreciated to 367.60 earlier in the week at the Investors and Exporters FX window, otherwise known as NAFEX garner

points on Thursday to open at a new rate of 365.13, representing an increase of 0.17 per cent and further recorded a better closing rate of 366.67 representing 0.25 per cent.

The Nigerian currency, however, remained unchanged at the unofficial market, against Pound Sterling and Euro at 470 and 420, respectively.

The local currency, at NAFEX, had traded at N362.21 per dollar on Monday, but closed at N363.57 per dollar, indicated N1.63 depreciation for the naira in contrast to the 50 kobo appreciation recorded on Monday, before closing at a more depreciated value of 367.60 on Wednesday.

The apex bank, on Monday had intervened in the official forex market with

the supply of $195 million as part of efforts to stabilise the market, but to the surprise of forex dealers, the naira, depreciated but remained unchanged at the unofficial segment of the market.

Meanwhile, in its continued effort in achieving official and parallel market rate convergence, the apex bank has sold a total sum of $2.64 billion to authorised dealers in May 2017, its latest report has revealed.

The report showed that 70.8 per cent and 106.1 per cent increase above the levels in the preceding month and the corresponding period of 2016, respectively.

This development, however, attributed to the increase in inter-bank sales, matured forwards

contracts and Bureau De Change (BDC) sales during the period under review.

According to the CBN’s report, “of the aggregate sales, forwards contracts disbursed at maturity were valued at $1.85 billion or 70.1 per cent of the total, while inter-bank sales amounted to $0.65 billion or 24.7 per cent. The balance of $0.14 billion or 5.2 per cent of the total was accounted for by sales to BDC. “The Bank sustained its effort at ensuring exchange rate stability through interventions and implementation of policies to address supply bottlenecks and enhance liquidity in the foreign exchange market”, it stated.

Despite the nation’s total import figure hitting a total sum of N2.2 trillion ($7.218 billion), with an average monthly figure of $2.406 billion as at the first half of 2017, Chief Consultant of Biodun Adedipe Associates Limited, ‘Biodun Adedipe has said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has the capacity to sustain ongoing foreign exchange (forex) interventions.

The economist noted that despite the pressure on the foreign exchange reserves, that on the 30-day moving average, the reserves have risen from $29.07b at end of 2015 to $30.36b in July 11.

Speaking at the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria (FICAN) Half-Year Economic Review held in Lagos, on Thursday, he disclosed that the liquid portion of the reserves stood at $29.62b, which translates to 12.31 months of imports cover.

He said the exchange rate has gradually depreciated and been devalued to N168 to dollar at the end of 2014; N197 to dollar at end of 2015; N305 to dollar at the end of 2016 and N305.85 to dollar as at July 19, 2017.

Adedipe, who spoke on the theme: ‘Nigerian Economy: First Half 2017 and Outlook’ said the required international benchmark was for external reserves to be able to sustain at least, six months of the import bill adding that Nigeria is still doing great with its reserves covering over 12 months import cover.

He explained that due

to recession, the current import figure was a decline from $14.171 billion or monthly average of $4.724 billion in the first quarter of 2015. He said that foreign trade had picked up since the first quarter of last year, with imports declining.

Adedipe described as aberration calls on the CBN to freely float the naira, adding that no country in the world adopts such approach to exchange rate management.

He said the ongoing spike in naira exchange rate occurred after the CBN was pressured by several stakeholders to adopt flexible exchange rate system and freely float the Naira.

“That of course, was a huge aberration, as there is no country that freely floats its currency (even the US) – the job of the central bank is to defend and protect its currency by intervening in the markets as necessary.

The voices are coming from too many experts that know nothing other than to echo what the Breton Woods institutions have said,” Adedipe stated.

Speaking on the interest rate, he said the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), which is the benchmark rate was raised to 14 per cent per annum in July 2016 from 12 per cent per annum. He said that changes in the MPR have not sufficiently impacted bank deposit/lending rates as well as changes in banking credit volumes.

Property B7 Stories by Babajide Okeowo In a bid to make housing available and affordable to all Nigerians, The Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company (NMRC) will, within the third quarter of 2017 re-launch into the capital market, a second tranche bond issuance of N20bn to raise additional funds for housing refinancing.

This is coming almost a year since the refinancer planned a re-launch into the bond market, but was constrained due to the country’s harsh macroeconomic environment.

The bond is the second tranche of the Series-1 of NMRC 15- year 14.9 per cent fixed rate under a N140 billion medium-term note programme due in 2030; and is part of the government’s effort to finance the nation’s increasing housing deficit.

The Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company, Charles Inyangete, at the just concluded annual housing conference in Abuja, highlighted that the N8bn raised during the first tranche was already fully invested adding that they were currently investing part of their own retained profit.

According to him, Nigeria needs N3.5 trillion annually to provide for 700,000 housing deficits.

He said, “In fact, some sta-

A professor of real estate management from the University of Lagos, Mrs. Modupe Omirin has backed the call for the creation of Valuer Generals’ Office to advance the fortune of the real estate sector.

Ideology of exponential growth devours and corrupts (1) There is no higher god in Silicon Valley as in any other of today’s business than growth There is no higher God in Silicon Valley than growth. No sacrifice too big for its craving altar.

As long as you keep your curve exponential, all your sins will be forgotten at the exit.

It’s through this exponential lens that eating the world becomes not just a motto for software at large, but a mission for every aspiring unicorn and their business model.

“Going viral” suddenly takes on a shockingly honest and surprisingly literal meaning.

The goal of the virus is to spread as fast as it can and corrupt as many other cells as possible.

How on earth did such a debauched zest become the highest calling for a whole generation of entrepreneurs?

Through systemic incentives, that’s how. And no incentive is currently stronger than that of THE POTENTIAL. It used to be that successful, upcoming companies would show a prudent mix of present-day profits and future prospects, but such a mix is now considered old-fashioned and best forgotten.

Now it’s all potential, all the time.

This trend didn’t start yesterday. We can’t blame the current crop for soil spoiled five harvests ago.

No, this singular focus on potential, forsaking all present-day considerations, was cultivated by some of our current giants.

It is companies like Salesforce that have shown just how long you can live on potential alone. Just how large and sprawling you can become without ever bothering to show much if any profits. There’s a decade and more’s proof that growing

like a virus, gobbling up other businesses to cling to the exponential, is how you can be “successful”.

There’s always more potential. Always another idea or domain that can be devoured. But this is also the straight path to devolution and its distortions. Bright ideas boiled free of all that is good and left dry as bones.

Have you tried Angry Birds lately? It’s a swamp of dark patterns. All extractive logic meant to trick you into another in-app payment. It’s the perfect example of what happens when product managers have to squeeze ever-more-growth out of ever-less-fertile lands to hit their targets year after year.

It’s straight out of the split-pea soup parable.

What if we removed just three peas? Nobody can tell. The factory can save a few million. The executives who pushed that idea can get their yearly bonus. No harm, no foul?

But nothing ever stops at the quarterly win. There are four quarters to a year. Forty to a decade.

Every one of them has to produce, exceed, and beat EXPECTATIONS. Because the core assumption is that growth is always good, growth is always unlimited, and if you’re not growing you’re dying. Swim or sink, no wading.

It’s the banality of moral decline. No one person sits down and imagines that Angry Birds of 2009 becomes the Angry Birds of 2017. A fun, novel game turned into a trashy slot machine. Nobody is proud of work like that. But it happens. One pea at a time. Until the split-pea soup has no more peas.

We cannot expect otherwise. It takes superhu-

man strength to resist the compound expectations of quarterly growth targets linked to an exponential moon shot. The list of comic-book heroes capable of such a task is so short that we’ve already deified the few, like Steve Jobs, who held the line.

(And who knows where he would have gone given another decade or two?)

Remember “Don’t be evil”? Google’s iconoclastic corporate slogan that slowly but surely accumulated so many caveats and exceptions that it needed as much legalese as a terms of service agreement. Principles are no match for the long-term corrosion of market realities and expectations. The levies will break, the good intentions will flood.

But back to the incentives. It’s not just those infused by venture capital timelines and return requirements, but also the likes of tax incentives favoring capital gains over income.

What sucker wants to earn $10 million/year at a 52.5% tax rate when you can get away with hundreds of millions in one take at just 15%? Nobody, that’s who.

It’s hard to argue that boards, founders, and their financiers aren’t just doing exactly what the incentives are coaxing them to do.

Which is why growth is now everything and residual value is nothing.

In fact, the latter can be outright harmful to the former. When you’re being priced on the hopes and dreams of potential, reality can be a dangerous and undesired competitor.

Best just to appeal to the exponential curve and let the imagination roam free. An epic capital gains score awaits!

Chukwuemeka Given how pervasive this worship of potential and growth has become, it wasn’t surprising that when we pruned the product portfolio at 37signalsa few years back, and left only basecamp, the reaction was mostly one of incredulity, or even anger.

Either we were cutting businesses that were devoid of financial merit, or they had merit, and we were thus per definition crazy to let them die. Crazy to turn down growth.

To summarize the ethos of the comments sections back then: If something is creating revenue, it’s your solemn duty to keep milking and pumping until it’s done! Extract every cent, then move on to the next mining effort.

The fancy word for that

is fiduciary duty. To grow as fast as inhumanely possible is not just a goal, but a responsibility. A moral obligation to THE MARKET. And the theory goes, the market is all of us*.

So you’re actually serving your community. All that is bad is good again once you change the tint of your glasses. If you sense something rotten, you just need a new prescription.

Now you’ll see as clear as fog that this is ACTUALLY ABOUT ETHICS IN BUSINESS. The true puppeteer behind this homogenization of startup aspirations is diversification theory. Decisions are not driven by what’s good for a si ngle company, its employees, and its customers. No, it’s what’s good for the basket.

These baskets are known as venture capital funds. That’s the pipeline through which virtually all recent tech companies that have reached the public markets were sent. It’s a gladiatorial arena with the explicit goal that if enough businesses in the basket aren’t failing, the fund isn’t trying hard enough! Not dreaming big enough! Be more outrageous! Be more crazy!

It’s a hyper-evolutionary process that rewards the most extractive, most addictive, most viral strain from the cohort.

The key measurement is ENGAGEMENT. Who cares about the virtue of the endeavor, as long as your product is maximally addictive.

It’s the banality of moral decline. No one person sits down and imagines that Angry Birds of 2009 becomes the Angry Birds of 2017. A fun, novel game turned into a trashy slot machine. Nobody is proud of work like that. But it happens. One pea at a time. Until the split-pea soup has no more peas.
