Investigate plot to poison Jonathan’s godson -IYC tells FG

Isaac Olamikan, Warri

ÏÏÏIjaw

Youth Council (IYC) has charged the Federal Government to commence full investigation into the alleged plot to poison one George Turnah said to be a godson to exPresident Goodluck Jonathan. The youth body made the charge through a statement by its spokesman, Barrister Henry Iyalla yesterday. The statement was a reaction to a newspaper report that a plot was afoot by “some security agencies in connivance with some politicians from the region to poison Mr George Turner godson of former President Goodluck Jonathan in prison pending the perfection of his bail conditions.” Going further, the IYC stressed, that “while we support the fight against corruption in the country, we insist that such fight must be done within the ambits of the 1999 Constitution which guarantees the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise. “We at Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide (IYC) are deeply worried by this allegation geared towards the life of an Ijaw son as well as a citizen of Nigeria in the guise of fighting corruption. “The right to life is sacrosanct and one guaranteed under the enabling laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “No individual, security agency or government official has the plenitude of power to infringe on such fundamental rights of citizens. “We therefore call on the Federal Government and all relevant security agencies to commence full investigation into the alleged plot to poison our son, and effect arrest where necessary so as to bring the plotters of this heinous intentions to justice.”

Judicial reform: CJN recommends pilgrimage for Judges Idu Jude, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

As part of the Federal Government’s effort to reposition the Judiciary devoid of corruption, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, has recommended that judges at all strata should indulge in pilgrimage operations to the Holy lands as this will shape their minds in the discharge of their duties. The CJN said this on Wednesday when the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, Rev. Tor Ujah, paid him a working visit. According to the CJN, the court is the temple of justice and the legal profession comes out from the church which presupposes God’s pronouncement on his creation. He, however, admonished Christians to live a life that is reflective of true followers of Christ. The CJN further affirmed that Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a worthwhile experience that every Christian who is spiritually alert should be encouraged to do. Uja had earlier said that the Commission is prepared to commence a special pilgrimage to Israel for Judges and Magistrates next year, as part of its

contribution to changing the face of the capable Judiciary in Nigeria. He explained that such a specialised pilgrimage would help to bring the members of the bench together as the platform

would enable them to pray corporately in the Holy Land. He stated that the Commission has perfected moves to redefine the whole concept of pilgrimage so that it is not just centred on activities but spiri-

tually impacting. Uja also informed the CJN that time has come for the church to take developmental role and play active support in the advancement of Christian pilgrimage in Nigeria.

No true democracy in Nigeria -NACAMA president Alphonsus Nweze,

Awka

ÏÏÏ

Professor Peter Emeka Katchy, the president of National Complementary and Alternative Medical Association, (NACAMA) has said that Nigeria is yet to practice true democracy. Speaking at a book launch in Awka, Anambra state capital, Prof Katchy said: “The only true democratic polity experienced in Nigeria lasted for six years, 1960 to 1966”. “That was when there was true federalism and after that there was a coup that ushered in unitary system that brought in corruption,” he said. Prof. Katchy said it was in

the National Conference of 1979 that restructuring was recommended, but from that 1979 till date both the civilian and military were still practising military system because of oil money and the constituent states became redundant . “If there is restructuring there will be true federalism. When we have true federalism, there will be regional police. Nigeria is afraid of history, and that is why they removed history from school curriculum. Let history be restored in school curriculum, those people who are agitating do not know or read history . “Those who are agitating and want to be carved out out of Nigeria are doing that because his-

tory was not taught them. The author of this book did a good job by authoring this book so that those who do not know the history of this country will know” he said. Earlier, the book reviewer, an Associate Prof. and Head, Political Science Department, Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Rev. Ifeanyichukwu Ojukwu, recalled that “ the missionaries permeated us and brought us together via indirect rule, amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria”. He commended the author, a lecturer at Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, Mr Chris Nwosu, for his work,

adding that according to the author there are 250 tribes in Nigeria and more than 500 languages. He said: “Since the amalgamation of Northern and southern Nigeria in 1914 by the colonial masters, we have not achieved true democracy, we are pretenders to democracy and we are still on the road to democracy. The author, Chris Nwosu, said “Nigeria is not yet a democratic nation and if you want to know whether it is true or not you look at the indices of the democracy. One of them is the rule of law. Do we have independence of the judiciary, no, how do we conduct elections and the ones conducted, were they free and fair?.

tor, V.O Aigboje, informed the court that Ramirez committed the offences between February and August 2013. Ramirez was accused of allegedly collecting $10,000 from one Olukayode Sodimu under the pretext that the money was meant to facilitate an American

Clamour for restructuring divides Nigerians Continued from page 1

Nigeria was inevitable, another group, made up of human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) among others described the call for restructuring as unrealistic, saying those behind the call are haters of the unity of the country and self-centered. The prominent politicians from the Middle Belt declared their support for restructuring of the country at the end of a crucial meeting in Abuja on Thursday. In a communique issued at the end of their meeting, which lasted for five hours, and signed by National Secretary of the Middle Belt forum, Elder John Dara, they also called for the full implementation of the recommendations of

the 2014 national political reform conference held in Abuja. The political leaders from the Middle Belt made it abundantly clear in their eight point communique that the pressure from the northern and southern parts of the country is creating tension in their region. They declared their support for the restructuring of the country “together with appropriate devolution of powers to the federating units, and a commensurate revenue allocation formula”. The communique reads in part: “After intensive deliberations on factors, structures, systems and forces behind Nigeria’s chronic instability, the Conference considered and passed the following Resolutions: “In a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious country like Nigeria, the federal system

makes enormous sense, because it allows the federating units to fully look after their local affairs and to develop at their own pace. Therefore, we hereby renew our loyalty, love and strong support for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “We appeal to all separatist agitators to please allow the restructuring initiative to run its full course including efforts to implement the 2014 national conference report. “We need to work together to effect the necessary leadership changes that will facilitate restructuring in Nigeria. “However, we are resolutely of the view that the current federal structure is unbalanced, unfair, over-centralised and therefore unstable. “Accordingly, we firmly support the demand to re-structure

INEC begins process on recall petition against Melaye Lateef Ibrahim, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Thursday, formally acknowledged the receipt of the petition seeking the recall of Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West district in the National Assembly. The Commission has similarly written to the concerned Senator informing him of the petition seeking to recall him by members of his senatorial district. The Prof. Mahmood Yakubuled-INEC said in a statement on Thursday night that it will issue a public notice on July 3 to state the time, date, location and other details on when it will embark on the verification of the petition. The statement was signed by Mallam Mohammed Haruna, INEC national commissioner and member, Information and Voter

Education Committee. The statement reads: “INEC held its regular weekly meeting today (yesterday) and considered the petition submitted by some registered voters from Kogi West senatorial district to kick-start the process of recalling Senator Dino Melaye. “In accordance with the INEC guidelines for the recall of members of the National Assembly, the commission has finally acknowledged the receipt of the petition to the petitioners’ representatives and has conveyed a letter notifying Senator Dino Melaye of our receipt of the petition. “The next step is to verify that the petitioners are registered voters in Kogi West senatorial district. “INEC will on 3rd July 2017 issue a public notice stating dates, time, location and other details for the verification of the exercise”.

the federation, together with appropriate devolution of powers to the federating units, and a commensurate revenue allocation formula. “Since these fundamental matters were considered and resolved at the 2014 National Conference, we urge the Federal Government to take appropriate and urgent steps to ensure full implementation of resolutions and recommendations contained in the Conference Report. “We believe that a faithful and effective implementation of those recommendations will promote peace, harmony and greater security, thereby giving Nigeria a new lease of life. The political leaders from the Middle Belt in the communiqué also condemned the quit notice order issued to the people from the South East living in the north to relocate to their states of origin. They urged the Federal and State Governments to take effective steps to ensure the safety and security of all Nigerians, wherever they may choose to reside. The political leaders condemned the murderous activities of the Fulani herdsmen in the Middle Belt and other parts of Nigeria and called on the Federal Government to step up measures to curb this menace. The National President of Middle Belt Forum and former Information Minister, Prof. Jerry Gana, in his opening remark before the meeting went into closed door session, said for Nigeria to be peaceful and stable, the over 600 recommendations of the 2014 National Conference must be implemented. The former Minister of Information and Professor of Geography wondered why northern

delegates should turn around to reject the recommendations, which he said, were arrived at by consensus. According to him, “What they (the Northern delegates to the conference) should do is to lobby, this is democracy. If there is anything they want to be included, let them lobby other delegates. This is allowed”. Former President of the Senate and one-time Minister of Education, Professor Iyorcha Ayu, lamented that the Federal Government is failing in its responsibility to provide security to the people. He decried the activities of Fulani herdsmen, especially in the Middle Belt region, adding, “We are under siege. How do we improve security in the region because it undermines the unity of the country?” Among those in attendance at the meeting were Professor Gana; Dr. Ayu; Dr. (Senator) Ahmadu Ali, former National Chairman of the PDP; Dr. Jonathan Zwingina; former Deputy Leader of the Senate, Dr. Hassan; Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (rtd) Rev.

ÏÏÏ Nigeria’s

revenue appears to be getting better with about N46.629 billion as the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) distributed N462.359 billion to the three tiers of government unlike when the lower figure of N415.7 billion was shared in May for the month of April allocation.

Also, Isa-Dutse said that Crude oil production suffered due to leakages, sabotage, shut-ins and shut-downs at terminals for maintenance and the force majeure declared at Forcados terminal since February 2016 subsisted.

Why we could not pay our debt - Etisalat Myke Uzendu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The management of Etisalat Nigeria has blamed its inability to pay its outstanding $574 million to the present economic downturn in the country and the devaluations of the Naira coupled with harsh business situation in Nigeria. The company, also, denied the allegations that it is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over its inability to repay the outstanding $574m out of the $1.2 bn owed a consortium of banks. In a statement on Thurs-

day, Etisalat Nigeria said,”The economic downturn of 2015 and sharp devaluations of the naira negatively impacted on the dollar-denominated loan by driving up the loan value, thus prompting Etisalat to request a loan restructuring from the consortium of banks.” However, Etisalat claimed that it had paid almost half of the $1.2bn loan before discussions with the banks regarding the repayment restructuring became inconclusive. “Contrary to the widely reported misrepresentations about Etisalat Nigeria’s debt obligation to the consortium of 13 banks, it

has become pertinent to set the records straight. Prior to this time, Etisalat had in fact consistently and conscientiously met up with its payment obligations. “As at today, we can categorically state that the outstanding loan sum to the consortium stands at $227m and N113bn, a total of about $574m if the naira portion is converted to US Dollars. This in essence means almost half of the original loan of $1.2bn, has been repaid. The company stated unequivocally that it is not being investigated by the EFCC following a petition to “the Federal Government asking that Etisalat

be investigated” on how the funds from the syndicated loans were utilized as peddled in the media, insisting that their repayment schedule were transparent and accessible to the lenders. “Etisalat wishes to categorically affirm for the avoidance of doubt that the reports are patently false and most unfortunate considering the damage such misleading information can have not only on our business, but indeed on the telecommunications industry and the country as a whole. “A simple interrogation of the rigorous process for securing a syndicated loan

Reps to probe NHIS, HMOs finances over fraud allegations Henry Omunu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The House of

Representatives, on Thursday, resolved to investigate the finances of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and the benefiting Health Maintenance Organisations over allegations and counter allegations of fraud by both parties on the workability and sustenance of the scheme. Continuing its twoday investigative hearing yesterday, Chairman of the House Committee on Health Services, Rep. Chike Okafor announced the setting up of a committee that would reconcile the accounts of the NHIS and the benefitting HMOs over the disburse-

ment of over N351billion by the regulatory agency to the HMOs. He said that the outcome of the reconciliatory committee would form the basis for the committee’s resolution. He made the pronouncement following claims and counter claims by both the NHIS and the HMOs, alleging fraud and mismanagement of funds. The House member said that the “team will come to your offices to look at your books,” just as he declared that the “average Nigerian were not benefiting from the health insurance scheme and as the representatives of the people the House would not fold its arms and allow the scheme to die.” Speaking further, the

House committee chairman warned the Executive Secretary of the NHIS, Professor Yusuf Usman against rocking the boat, saying that “if we go with you the way your passion is dragging you then we would bring down Nigeria.” Earlier, the NHIS boss informed the committee that from the year 2000-2016, the NHIS paid N60billion administrative bill to the HMOs, adding that with such amount of money 2.6 million Nigerians should have benefitted from the health insurance scheme. He said that he would carry out the reaccreditation of all HMOs and ensure that they pay the debt they owe, stressing that the HMOs were ow-

ing hospitals N2billion in outstanding liabilities. But, in his submission, the spokesperson of the Health and Managed Care Association of Nigeria (HMCAN), Lekan Ewenla disputed the claims against the HMOs, and charged the House committee to mandate the NHIS boss to provide all relevant documents pertaining to the amount he allegedly claimed to have paid to the HMOs. Ewenla stated that rather than carrying the HMOs along with a view to making the NHIS more beneficial and efficient for the benefit of Nigerians, the NHIS boss since his assumption of office has been operating a one man show contrary to the Act setting up the NHIS.

from a consortium of reputable banks would have exposed the truth to the original writer of this story and other media channels who have subsequently re-circulated the falsehood without interrogation or verification. “Concerned parties have

access to our books and do not require an investigation into how the loan sum was utilized. All of the infrastructure investment and services for which the loan was secured, were paid through our banks and these are verifiable” the company maintained.

Nigeria should avoid another civil war –George Patrick Okohue

ÏÏÏ

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has condemned the recent ultimatum issued by the Arewa youths to the Igbo living in the northern part of the country to quit the region by October 1 saying it is a very divisive move and called on all Nigerians to avoid utterances and action that may lead to another civil war Addressing journalists in Lagos on Thursday, George, who captioned his address as ‘Enough of the drum beat of war,’ said “the last civil war which resulted in millions

of death and incalculable destruction both in physical and moral psyche of the survivors must never be repeated again.” He said there is no single nation in the history of the world that has survived two civil wars and urged Nigerians to reflect on the scenarios playing out. “We must halt all these desperate agitations for mushroom ethnic colonies. The balkanization of our nation will not augur well for anyone,” he said. “The former Yugoslavia and the defunct USSR are classic examples of ill conceived peripheral pigmy states that can hardly sur-

vive on their own. Is that what we want? “The greatness of America and Canada are invariably reflected in their diversity and in their enriching plural identities. This is what we must emulate,” he further said. George, who said he was speaking as a statesman and not as a politician, urged Nigerians to stop the campaign for the dismantling of the nation because they are not happy with certain aspects of the national union, saying “it is about time we shed and remove our ethnic toga. It is about time we remove our tribal fixation.” He lauded the federal gov-

ernment on its current consultations across the tribal divide saying it is an exemplary move to stop the drum beat of war. George however urged the federal government to do more by widening the consultation through the invitation of formidable elders and statesmen who were participants and managers of Nigeria nation during the drama of last civil war. He said as part of remaking and rebuilding of the Nigerian project each majority tribe should be encouraged to learn the language of other tribes as a compulsory curriculum in primary and secondary schools.

Former River commissioners, LGC chairman debunk Wike’s allegation against Amaechi’s wife Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

ÏÏÏAll the former Rivers

state commissioners and local government council chairmen have debunked Governor Nyesom Wike’s allegation against Mrs. Judith Amaechi, wife of the Minister of Transport and former governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi Governor Wike had accused the former first lady of the state of receiving between N2million and N3million from commissioners and local government chairmen under her husband’s administration. In a statement jointly signed by Mr. Ojukaye Flag Amachree, former chairman, Asari-Toru LGA on behalf of all former local council chairmen and Mr. Fred Mbombo-Igwe, former Commissioner of Sports for all former commissioners during Amaechi administration in Rivers state, the affected former officials said that the allegation by the governor was false and baseless. The statement read in part: “The attention of former Chairmen of Local Government Councils and Commissioners in Rivers State during the administration of former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi have been drawn to a recent media interview granted by current governor of Rivers

State, Nyesom Wike, where Wike falsely accused Dame Judith Amaechi, the wife of our boss of extorting and collecting monthly, between Two and Three Million Naira from Commissioners and Local Government Council chairmen respectively, while her husband was the State governor. “Realizing the magnitude and gravity of this allegation, the Council Chairmen and Commissioners deem it necessary to make this public clarification in the interest of our teeming supporters and Rivers people that Nyesom Wike, since his assumption to office appears to have a major agendum, which is to tarnish the sterling reputation of former Governor Amaechi, his erstwhile benefactor. “He is bereft of ideas and unprepared for the task of governing a heterogeneous state like Rivers. Wike, while serving as the Chief of Staff to Governor Amaechi interfaced regularly with Council Chairmen. With this rare privilege and his avarice plus his corrupt tendencies, he elected to commit a lot of fraudulent and sharp practices including massive looting and various degree of financial extortion on the council chairmen and commissioners who felt hapless due to his perceived closeness to the governor as the chief of staff,” the statement read.

of the scales on the traders threatening that erring trader would be punished. The protesting traders stormed the popular Ola-Iya junction and other areas around 12:00pm and refused to leave the roads for about an hour. They accused the state government of selling the scales at exorbitant rates lamenting that its usage had been having negative effects on their businesses. While claiming that their customers had been complaining about the scales, also known as “Osun Omoluwabi”, the market women marched to the state Secretariat at Abeeree where they chanted anti-government songs and accused Governor Aregbesola of short-chnaging them with the compulsory usage of the scales.

Speaking with our correspondent during the protest, one of the market women, Mrs Fadilat Akanji said they were from all the markets in the state and that they were rejecting the policy because the scales had been causing them shortages. While speaking in Yoruba language, Akanji said, “we have been experiencing shortages since few of us started using the scales. Even our customers are complaining against the scales. Imagine the government forcing an aged colanut seller to use scales. I sell palm oil and I bought the scale at the rate of N2,500 but I now regret buying it because it has caused damages to my business. All of my colleagues are also complaining bitterly. Some of the scales are even sold for N7,500 to N25,000 depending

on the kind of wares you sell. We can’t accept it. Never.” The protesters however asked the government to provide hand measure (Kobiowu/Kongo) for them to be using tressing that there was no way they could accept the standard weighing scales. The government had launched the scheme with market women and men to ensure that people get value for their money on whatever they buy from market, and also protect the traders from unprofitable commercial transactions. Governor Aregbesola, while launching the standard weighing scale last year, had given the assurance that the scheme would eliminate cheating and other underhanded practices that have become the hallmark of trading in most markets.

The head of Special Investigation Task Force of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abubakar Makadi, on Thursday told Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja that the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Bahed (rtd), illegally received the sum of N558m monthly for more than two years that he served as Chief of the Air Staff. Madaki, a prosecution witness who continued his testimony on Thursday on the ongoing trial of Badeh and Iyalikam Ltd, also disclosed that the anti-graft agency got the lead that unearthed the fraud allegedly committed by the two past Chiefs of the Air Staff: Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh and Air Marshal Dikko Umar during an investigation into purchases of arms. He said that from the misappropriated fund, Badeh purchased No 6 Ogun River Street at N1.1b United States dollars equivalent. He also allegedly acquired various other properties. Base on this and fund

received from NAF by Rytebuilders Construction Company and platinum construction company made us to request for all account maintained by Nigerian Air Force camp Abuja. NAF provided us seven accounts being maintained in Abuja by Air Force camp Abuja: Four of the accounts with Zenith Bank, two other accounts with the UBA and one account at Diamond Bank. We discovers that one account in UBA received over a billion naira very month and the left over balance were distributed to various Bureau de change, Farsan. The owners were invited and based on investigation Squadron leader Emmanuel Abu was invited. He explained that when he reported at the camp pay office he received a directive from his senior Group Captain Sinni Mohammed that 558m will always be set aside for the office of Chief of the Air Staff (CAS). It was this monthly sum that it were being transfer for exchange into dollars. Investigation also revealed that as soon Abu collected the amount he hand over the Sinni who hand over to director Salihu Yuishu who take same to the defendant Badeh.

SERG commends FG, DSS for freeing Ifeanyi Ubah –P.11

Two years of 8th Lagos Assembly: X-ray of activities of lawmakers; performers and bench warmers The House: Lagos State House of Assembly has become a template and reference point to which State Parliaments should function and has continued to sustain its front line position among the 36 States House of Assembly in the country. By general assessment, the House has remained decisive and categorical in its pronouncements and resolutions. In X-raying individual members of the House, while some members of the acclaimed number one State Assembly have by their active participation and robust debate on the floor of the House remained distinguished and outstanding, others are noted and have established reputation as chronic bench warmers visible but not heard. Those lawmakers who have distinguished themselves and have remained outstanding and whose efforts have made the House the template and envy of other state legislatures in the country must therefore, be celebrated. Credit must also be given to the supportive civil servants and staff of the Assembly headed by a brilliant, intelligent, dedicated and hard working Clerk of the House, Mr. Azeez Sanni and his immediate predecessor, Mr. Olusegun Ganiyu Abiru. Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa: This pride of Agege is the Speaker of the House and the head of the 40 member House. The brilliant and visionary legislator is a fourth time member of the House, representing Agege constituency 01. As the State Chief lawmaker, Obasa has continued to demonstrate leadership qualities and left no one in doubt that he is in firm grip of the House. The 8th Assembly under his leadership holds the record of passing more bills and resolutions than the previous Assemblies in the period under review. The Speaker who has three Bills to his credit has continued to give the Assembly a positive direction to the admiration of his colleagues and his political arch rivals. His sense of maturity with which he has been steering the vehicle of the House to a steady and continuous progress has won the chief lawmaker millions of admirer in and out of the state. However, the fourth term representative of Agege constituency 01 need to improve on his time consciousness, though, this may perhaps be due to daily engagements, activities and demands of his office. Nevertheless, the Speaker needs to work on this. This remains the noted weakness that seem to have been inherited from the leadership of the 7th Assembly. This notwithstanding, Rt. Hon. Obasa has done well and got a thumb up and rapturous applause for his leadership role in two years of the 8th Lagos Assembly.

Two years after the proclamation of the 8th Lagos State House of Assembly, the Assembly largely acknowledged to be operating above the common standard of excellence and the proud of state legislatures in the country.

SERG commends FG, DSS for freeing Ifeanyi Ubah Patrick Okohue The South East Revival Group (SERG) has commended the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Federal Government for listening to the voice of reason and freeing the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah. The group also commended coalition of civil society and humans rights activists who played one role or the other during the oil magnet’s incarceration. This was contained in a statement signed its Convener and National Coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu, insisting that “what transpired between Capital Oil and NNPC was purely a commercial transaction that needed not be criminalised in the first place.” Parts of the statement read: “We com-

mend the Federal Government and the DSS for threading the path of honour by freeing Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah. “We believe that his arrest should not have taken place in the first place as what transpired between Capital Oil and NNPC was purely a commercial transaction that needed not be criminalized at all. “Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah had single handedly ended the fuel scarcity that was inherited by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration before the government removed petrol subsidy. So, it was surprising that he was made to go through the psychological torture he went through in DSS custody. “However, we commend the coalition of civil society and humans rights activists, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Lawyers of Conscience

and individuals who played one role or the other during Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah’s incarceration to ensure his release.

“We hope that his release has put to rest the issues surrounding the commercial dispute,” the group stated.

Quit Notice on Igbos: Group cautions FG, El-Rufai over Arewa Youths Arrest Patrick Okohue A pan-Nigeria youth group, ‘I belong to One Nigeria Initiative’ has cautioned the Federal Government against arrest of leaders of the Arewa youths over quite notice on Igbos, insisting that such action will not only set the Northern states on fire but also the entire country. The group also cautioned Governor Nasir ElRufai over his continued call for the arrest of the Northern Coalition Groups leaders. According to a statement by its Convener and Executive Coordinator, Comrade James Ezema, the group urged the Federal Government to dialogue with the leaders of the groups in the North as well as leaders of all the agitating young people across the country.

“The Federal Government must not give in to the temptation of using force to resolve issues bothering on the vacation order to Igbos in the Northern part of Nigeria and the counter order issued by the Niger Delta youth group. “We also caution the Federal Government not to arrest leaders of the pro-Biafra groups. The only feasible solution to the issues at hand is dialogue with the young people at the centre of the controversy,” the group said. The group maintained that “at this point in our national existence, there is need to exercise caution in dealing with agitations across the country in order not to further endanger the unity of the country as no sacrifice is enough when it comes to ensuring the peaceful coexistence in Nigeria.”

such projects after public hearings on the budget and defence of the fiscal estimates by the ministries,” he said. He revealed that while his ministry was directed to complete all the abandoned projects, the budget of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was reduced by the National Assembly from N31 billion to N10 billon. He decried that the projects his ministry has in the budget now is primary healthcare centres and boreholes. “We are owing the contractors about N15bn and they have written to us that they are going to shut down.

“Also, the budget of the second Niger bridge was reduced from N15bn to N10bn and about N3bn or so was removed from the Okene-Lokoja-Abuja road budget,” the minister said. He also wondered how it will be possible for the country to achieve its dream of steady power supply following cut the budget for Manbila power project and the Bodo Bridge. His words: “Everybody is complaining about power supply but they also cut the budget for Manbila power project and the Bodo Bridge that connects the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Station was also cut and all these were also discussed.

Clamour for restructuring divides Nigerians

Continued from page 6

ist, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Trade Union Congress (TUC) among others described the call for restructuring of Nigeria as unrealistic, adding that campaigners of restructuring of are haters of the unity of the country and self-centered. Falana who stated this while attending a world press conference organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and other sister labour unions in Abuja on Thursday, said that those calling for undefined restructuring are fanning the ember of disunity as such is being done for personal reasons. According to him, the dream of the founding fathers of Nigeria is for true Federalism devoid of ethnicity and the likes. He said that such was the motive and how things were done on nationalistic level during the time of the likes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Ahmadu Bello and Chief Obafemi Awolowos among others. He further stressed that poverty in proper reasoning, has contributed to agitation for federalism or rather restructuring of Nigeria. “You see, no one can agitate for state restructuring without economic restructuring, we should first of all talk about the economy of the country and on how to address the issue of people’s welfare. This is very germane and we have to address it and do not forget that this is a country where oil blocks are given to an individual while the generality of the people wallow in poverty,” he said. On the issue of National Conference, Falana said that most of the issues in the constitution of Nigeria remain unattended to, such as the issue of available shelter to Nigerians, social welfare, which he said directly improves the lives of the common man. “We must criticise the call for restructuring and I must tell you that there are two major points of law that automatically dealt with the issue of rights of common man in Nigeria, which is basic free education and child rights,

if such is dealt with as provided by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, then Nigeria will be better.” While addressing the media, president of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, in company of his Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, Boboi Kaigama, stated that true Federalism cannot be a rocket science and that it can only be achieved through the process of dialogue. Wabba said: “There is no country without problems of governance and Nigeria’s case should not be exceptional. What I am saying is that there so many issues we need to address to bring Nigeria under one umbrella. We should begin to address the issues on critical sectors and the passage of laws on citizens.” The NLC boss further reiterated that in attempting to resolve issues of conflicts of interest for the purpose of having a better union, Nigerians must be irrevocably committed to dialogue, responsible and responsive dialogue that takes on board socioeconomic justice, democratic culture, cohesion, political competitiveness, mutual respect and all those other values that strengthen a nation. Wabba noted that he will continue to underscore the need for good governance in the country as a basis for any realistic development and eventual emancipation of the people. He also pointed out that in estimation, that most of the issues in contention can be resolved through good governance, sustainable and transparent fight against corruption and addressing inequities and injustice in the system. He stated that retreating into tribal or ethnic enclaves without first addressing these issues, amounts to abdication of collective responsibility and no more than making a bad case worse. This he remarked is why Nigeria speak to the ordinary Nigerians and Nigerians of good conscience to stand up and fight the evil in the system instead of attempting to destroy the whole nation.

“If after we have defended the budget and we had gone and the legislature unilaterally changed the budget, what is the purpose of deliberation?’’ According to Fashola, it is unfair to Nigerians after public hearings were conducted with taxpayers’ money and consultations with the lawmakers only for the budget to be altered, cut or padded. Fashola, who held sway as Lagos State Governor between 2007 and 2015, canvassed interdependence and collaboration among the three arms of government rather than independence to ensure a harmonious relationship. The minister said that without it, the country would not make

progress and would be bogged down by the politics of total separation of power and what he called “power of example rather than example of power.’’ “The society benefits more from the power of example and interdependence rather than the example (show) of power; it requires that we show good examples.’’ On the concept of interdependence, Fashola said the President and the Vice-President could not swear themselves into office, but are sworn in by the judicial arm, while the president also proclaims the National Assembly without which it could not start business. In the same vein, he said the National Assembly confirms min-

isterial nominees and justices of the courts who are in turn swornin by the executive. He urged the intervention of the judicial arm of government to set the necessary parameters and set things right. Fashola, however, blamed the electorate for putting pressure on the lawmakers and expecting them to do what was outside their constitutional duties of law-making, representation and oversight. “There is need for mass orientation and enlightenment for Nigerians not to expect their elected representatives to provide roads, water, light and execute capital projects which is the function of the executive arm.’’

FG to inject N2.5bn into YouWiN! Connect series 1 SMEs

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Federal Government, on

Thursday, said it has concluded plans to mobilise a whopping sum of N2.5 billion for YouWiN! Connect annually as equity investment in start-ups and early stage SMEs through qualified fund managers under a co-investment model. The Government believes that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are engines of growth to stimulate and sustain economic recovery, thereby making the strengthening of small-scale businesses and the promotion of industrialisation, priorities for economic recovery. Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi

Adeosun, who stated this, said that the Federal Government has a renewed focus on key economic sectors in line with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, with an emphasis on SME led growth in agriculture, energy, technology, manufacturing, industry and key services. Adeosun explained that the revival of these sectors, coupled with increased investment in other sectors, less reliance on foreign exchange for intermediate goods, raw materials and greater export orientation. She noted that it would improve macroeconomic conditions, restore growth in the short term, help to create jobs and bring about structural change. Adeosun said that the funding of YouWiN demonstrates govern-

ment’s commitment to empower start-ups and early stage SMEs, providing innovative solutions to local challenges in Nigeria. “This is a key component of the recently launched YouWiN! Connect programme. Fund managers would be expected to demonstrate a strong track record in investing in and advising early stage SMEs, with a knowledge of diverse sectors and a clearly defined investment strategy. “This is to ensure that fund managers can actively and positively, contribute to improving business performance by bringing on-board their experiences and having skill in the game, by providing some of the required capital.

NCP has privatised over 142 companies -Osinbajo Myke Uzendu, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The National Council on Privatisation (NCP) has since inception successfully concluded the privatisation and reform of over 142 public enterprises since the enactment of the Public Enterprises (Privatisation and Commercialisation) Act in 1999. The Acting President, Prof. Yomi Osinbajo, made this disclosure on Thursday in Abuja dur-

ing the inauguration of the Fifth Council of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP). In a statement signed by Chukwuma Nwokoh, Head, Public Communications (BPE), the Acting President pointed out that the inauguration of the council is a critical step in the process of putting in place part of the institutional framework necessary for the actualisation of the socio-economic agenda of the present administration. “It is also a demonstration of our administration’s commit-

ment to public sector reform and the central role of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) in this process. Even though the public sector has been at the center stage in the provision of critical infrastructure and services cutting across the whole spectrum of the nation’s life since independence, the emerging importance and centrality of the private sector to the actualisation of the economic agenda of the administration cannot be downplayed,” Osinbajo explained.

FACES AT THE MEDIA EXECUTIVES PARLEY WITH THE ACTING PRESIDENT, YEMI OSINBAJO IN ABUJA... ON FRIDAY

Nigerians and increasing destitution

ny visitor to the country does not need to look far to see the increasing destitution among Nigerians. Definitely, Nigeria’s economic dilemma is daily forcing citizens to the fringes of human existence. While the economic hard times may have preceded the Muhammadu Buhari administration, the present government should also take the blame for being too slow in coming up with clear-cut policies on the way out of the quagmire. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), more than 100 million Nigerians are living on less than $1 per day out of an estimated 170 million population. That is far below the United Nations benchmark of at least $2 per day for the least deprived persons. Invariably, Nigeria’s enormous wealth has not affected positively on the well-being of the citizens. Moreover, despite the massive revenue from oil, 70 percent of Nigerians still live within the poverty bracket, which means that present and successive governments have been unable to translate the country’s huge natural resources to the improvement of citizen’s living standard. All indices point to the fact that the alarming increase in poverty is attributable to poor governance. Evidence of terribly poor governance is palpable as it manifests in the corrupt, inept political leadership and weak civil institutions to dilapidated infrastructure. We deplore the increasing destitution in the country. It is sad that while many Nigerians are living in grinding poverty in an oil-rich country, a privileged few wallow in opulence. We call on the government to take mitigating action and bring the alarming situation under control. A scenario where only a few are

benefiting from the common patrimony while the vast majority is excluded may likely breed social discontent if not well and quickly addressed. It is a truism that inadequate economic growth is the main cause of poverty in Nigeria, as the economy has a very narrow and weak base, depending mostly on exportation of petroleum crude oil for revenue, even as the agricultural base has been frustrated and marginalised. In addition, growing unemployment has also exacerbated the level of destitution among Nigerians, while other factors include problems in the productive sector, widening income inequality, social conflict, including gender, inter-sectoral and environmental issues. There is no gainsaying the fact poverty especially in the urban area has been made severe by low labour absorption capacity of non-agricultural sector, especially manufacturing, which is because of limited growth of investment and technological innovation. Arguably, enough has not been done to fight destitution in the country and the conditions that will give Nigerians the opportunity to earn decent and honest living remain a tall dream. The embarrassing paradox of destitution in Nigeria suggests the compelling need for a single-minded pursuit of the objective of poverty reduction and its eventual elimination. We therefore call on all governments to step up the template for true development by re-energising all the poverty alleviation programmes geared towards improving living standard of the less vulnerable. In this way, millions of Nigerians would move out of poverty and wanton lack, and to a more productive engagement in which all the basic necessities of life are met.

Quit notice: A wake up call to Ndigbo to develop S’East Moses Oyediran, Enugu

ÏÏÏA

prominent Enugu indigene, Chief Paul Atanike has described the ultimatum issued to Igbo sons and daughters living in the north by Coalition of Arewa Northern Youths Forum to vacate their region as long overdue saying the divisive notice should provoke Igbo into developing their area. Atanike told Daily Times yesterday in Enugu in an interview why reacting to the three months

quit notice that, “A visitor is expected to go back to his home at a given time. It would be an act of stupidity for that same person to force himself or herself on the host. He noted that instead of condemning the actions of the Arewa youth, they should be commended for their foresight in asking Igbos to vacate their land. “I don’t see anything wrong in asking your tenants or visitors to go back to his place” “This quit notice is a clarion-call to all Igbo sons and daughters to

return and develop our land. We have been asking our people to come back home to develop our place. Maybe now that nature has made it compulsory our people will heed to the voice of reason. “The truth is I don’t understand what is stopping our people from developing our place and turn it into a business hub, whatever you are looking for in the north can be gotten here in our land”, he said. Atanike also stressed that there is nothing wrong in seeking self determination.

According to him, “There are so many countries in the world that is less populated than the Igbo nation. We are rich; we have gifts, mineral resources and manpower that can sustain us as an independent country. “Prof. Ango Abdullahi has come out opening to tell the world that he is a staunch supporter and the brain behind the ultimatum given to the Igbo by the northern youths. “If somebody in the mold of Abdullahi who was preview to the happening in the colonial era

and the civil war could give his backing to such a call, I wonder why we should treat the threat with levity. “People have pitched the federal government against the Igbo nation; there is nothing wrong in us seeking for self determination. “I am pleading with the Federal Government to listen to the ultimatum given to the Igbo by the Arewa youths to let us go our way”, he said. “We have been exploited and treated like slaves.

Delta revokes 422 allotted underdeveloped lands Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

ÏÏÏNo fewer than 422

allotted underdeveloped plots of land converted into mechanic workshops and block industries in major towns/ cities across Delta state have been revoked by the state government. The state Commissioner for Lands, Surveys/Urban Development, Mr. Chika Ossai, confirmed to journalists in Asaba the state capital on Wednesday that the 422 underdeveloped lands were of several of such saying that government had taken steps to recover its lands being used by unauthorized persons across the state. The commissioner who decried the increasing rate of underdeveloped lands in the state, particularly converted into mechanic workshops, block industries, emphasizing that this would not be tolerated. He pointed out that the conversion of such plots of land automatically portends an offense punishable in law. He said: “We have revoked the 422 allotted underdeveloped lands, we have more to revoke. The block industries that converted the plots of land have defaced the cities and also distorted the original master plan of the towns/cities.”

Revaltilisation of PHC: FG to train 20 women in each local government ward Ibeneme Ebelechukwu,

Abuja

ÏÏÏ

As part of efforts in boosting health services at the primary health care (PHC) centres across the federation, Federal Government through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) says it has concluded plans to train 20 women in every local governments ward as health extension service workers. The Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Faisal Shuaib disclosed this yesterday during a quarterly media interactive forum in Abuja. According to him, part of their job will be to create demand for health services among the people living at the rural areas. “ They will also be responsible in giving first aid services as they go from house to house knocking at people’s door to find out who amongs the household has health challenge.for example, if a woman goes into labour or start bleeding in the process,these women will first of all provide the first treatment they need before helping to take them to the nearest health facility center.

Collapsed bridge cut off over 5,000 residents in llorin the socio-economic life of the affected residents.A commercial motorcyclist, lshola Aremu plying the route who spoke with Daily Times,said most residents were unable to pay for the alternative which is a long distance to other communities. In a swift reaction, the state Comissioner for Works and Transport, Alhaji Aro Yahaya said the state Government had awarded contract for the construction of real concrete bridge that can last longer than the collapsed one.He appealed to the affected residents to exercise patience, saying that the construction will commence in august when rain break.The Commissioner advised residents of the state to always ensure clean drainged system to curb cases of collapsed bridges.

Alagbado bridge collapsed on Saturday 26th May after heavy downpour which listed over five hours. Tension as APC foil alleged plan by police, to stop aspirant’s declaration There was tension in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Wednesday, as the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) foiled an alleged plan to stop the governorship declaration of an aspirant, Mr. Kola Alabi. Alabi had obtained a police permit which was granted by the state police command about three weeks before the declaration but was allegedly persuaded by the Commissioner of Police, Abdullahi Chafe, to shift the event. The command is believed to have attempted to convince Alabi to shift the event because Governor

Ayo Fayose was also holding victory rally to mark the third anniversary of his electoral victory in 2014. But Alabi defied the police and staged a street procession which shut down some parts of AdoEkiti and his native IkereEkiti from where party faithful trooped out in their thousands to witness the declaration at the APC secretariat. There was a massive security buildup to prevent a possible clash between APC members and Fayose’s supporters. Men of the Federal Special AntiRobbery Squad (FSARS), Department of State Services (DSS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at Ijigbo and Ajilosun areas of AdoEkiti. Addressing party leaders while declaring his

intent to run for governor in 2018, Alabi said neither himself nor his party can be intimidated in the quest to bring about positive change in Ekiti. He promised to focus on agriculture, development of mineral resources, opening up more revenuegenerating ventures and growing cottage industries. Receiving the aspirant, APC Deputy Chairman, Mrs. Kemisola Olaleye, slammed the state police command for attempting to force a shift of the event for which a valid permit had been secured. She explained that the police had shifted two APC programmes for which permit had been obtained in recent past in favour of rallies by Fayose questioning the neutrality of the command.

Epileptic power supply: The plague of a nation

Dr. Folorunsho Saburi Bello

istening to Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, on Sunrise Daily, the talk-shop of the 11th Time TV Station of the Year, Channels TV, on Friday, June 2, 2017, speak on provision of infrastructure that will ensure food get to the table of Nigerians and their visitors, there’s no qualm than to hiss a sigh of relief. Agreeably, if the roads are fixed, commodities from farms and factories would get to the groceries on record time, thus eliminating wastages and rottenness encountered on a daily basis. Fixation of roads presupposes that one important aspect of ecosocial engineering, which is an integral preoccupation that would approximate Nigeria on Vision 20.20.20, is being addressed. How about electricity, more germane to swift economic recovery; and deus ex machina to social malady. For information, India became the third leading economy in the world at the expense of Nigeria not because her citizens are more laborious and industrious than Nigerian citizens but because she has the enabling environment and enabling facilities in terms of robust superstructure (demography, topography) and robust infrastructure. Candidly, Nigeria, too, has robust superstructure but her infrastructure is not robust. Why is her infrastructure not robust? Electricity supply is downright epileptic, not even there in so many climes. On good authority, Nigeria could become big exporter of com-

modities and manufactured goods if justice is done to the subject matter. The country quite appreciates the efforts of Buhari/Osinbajo administration in its drive to have steady and sustainable supply, the latest effort being the mutation to use coal-fired power that was turned down by the west. Reasonable and non-fastidious performance assessors will come to the reality that, for the progressives to revamp the power sector that was destroyed by the military regimes and conservative administrations for a period close to three decades, within two years, is both political and tall ambition unless such progressive government is ready to commit 90 per cent of the successive annual budgets to electricity. Absurd, you would say. Because the power sector must be fixed, Buhari/Osinbajo administration should indulge this suggestion before the end of its tenure, to champion a cause to the UN to approve nuclear power for Nigeria, not for the purpose of producing nuclear weapons but solely to produce energy for generation of power; this is the symmetrically-compulsive tendency that made India’s infrastructure robust, simply put, India is a nuclear-powered country, using her nuclear plant to generate energy for electricity, not production of weapons. Of course, the result of her nuclear plant is a forgone conclusion. Big economic turnaround. Fellow Nigerians! There’s no harm in trial, after all, what is sauce for the geese is equally sauce for the ganders. It is common knowledge that industries are folding up or relocating outside the country for lack of

electricity. Artisans, today, erk their living riding tricycles and motorcycles, a practice not known in extant literature of commercial transportation. Why? There is no electricity to smooth-sail their skilled trades. The nation can’t just continue like this. Dear Hon. Ministers of Power and Finance, tell the West Nigeria earnestly yearn to belong to the league of developed nations, and to achieve such feat, therefore, nuclear energy postulated above, should be considered. In the least alternative, a rethink on coal-fired power, markedly less expensive, is necessary. In the meantime, back home, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) should attempt to decabalise the sector. Yes, there are black legs, no do-gooders within the sector, that is, the importers, stockists and merchants of generators who do not wish the national grid well, covertly circumventing the right power policy framework of the government in order to perpetually remain in business. It is laudable the Discos are metering consumers without charge, but over 80 per cent of the said consumers are yet to receive the prepaid meters, what they get monthly is a rooftop estimate that often degenerate into discord, argument, brigandage, atimes fisticuffs with Disco officials. Quoting a Disco marketing manager, “we buy points from Gencos monthly and there are so many unidentifiable consumers, so therefore, the identifiable consumers are made to pay on pro rata quotient, prohibitive or not, for whatever point we buy from Gencos inasmuch as we must try to breakeven to remain in business.” Absolute poppycock.

The Discos should desist from such practice. They cannot be robbing Peter to pay Paul. The contemporary thing to do is to meter all consumers of electricity as it is the modern practice elsewhere within the global space, and in total fulfillment of the agreement they signed with the government to meter all consumers within two years in concession, with effect from 2012, to round up in 2014. Now in 2017. No show. Poor indeed. Worst off, on nota bene submission, the electricity the Discos purport the supply of which they bring the prohibitive bill is not even seen in the daytime but at midnight, only to be ceased by the wee hours. Further suggestion is towards dehyperbolisation of the billing system as unpaid bills are passed onto the government for intervention through the Nigerian Electricity Management Company (NEMC), a baby of the said government that manages/reschedules indebtedness of Nigerian electricity consumers. It is well known that hyperbolised billing brings to the fore, the dynamics of econometrics of which overall benefit, from the material perspective, is more polynomial or more quadratic for the discos against the government purse. This is a graphic tale of the public as the Bull, Buhari/ Osinbajo/Fashola as the Bull bearers; and the Discos as the milkmen. May God deliver the good people of Nigeria from the milkmen!

The Eni-Njoku Phenomenon and the future of Nigeria (I)

Ikechukwu Muo

n 1/1/14, Lord Lugard issued the following proclamation: ‘from today, all the country from the sea to near the desert in the North and from the French country in the West to the German Kameruns in the East shall be one single country under one Governor General so that there may be no jealousy or rivalry between the North and the South and all may cooperate together for the advancement of peace and prosperity..It will be my earnest endeavour to promote peace and justice for all men, to protect every man in the observance of his own religious faith and to administer equal justice alike for great and small’ The proclamation was full of good intentions. But the hearts of men, including colonialists are ordinarily deceptive and what people avow are most often at variance with what they practice. Anyway, neither peace, nor cooperation, nor prosperity, nor advancement, nor justice alike for great and small, nor freedom to worship as we like, has been the lot of Nigeria and Nigerians since

the days of Lugard to the present day. Of course Lugard was responsible for the unfortunate outcome because the amalgamation was not done in the interest of the constituents and even at that, he had some favourite children among the potential contenders for power and influence. Consequently and unfortunately, Nigerians, are, after 100 years of the Lugardian declaration, wondering aloud what to do with the ‘mistake of 1914’ which birthed ‘a mere geographical expression’. Our history in the last 100 years of being frozen together (as against being melted together) has not been awe-inspiring. In 1960, we became independent, ruled by an openly reluctant North. There was political crisis in the West, a coup that some people conveniently christened an Igbo-coup, the threats of Araba by the north, the coordinated and officially sanctioned mass-murder of southerners and mostly the Ndigbo, 3 years of Biafran war of Independence, a long period of military interregnum and the return of civil rule in 1999. Between 1999 and now, during which we have had 16

years of un-interrupted civilian, our experiences have also not been exciting. Corruption has become a citizen of Nigeria and through that some individuals are now richer than Nigeria. Our political culture promotes parliamentary pugilism and disregard for the common good. The integrity of the country is being challenged by a group of demagogic fellows who have declared war on Nigeria and are attacking ferociously from the Maiduguri axis. The so-called Fulaniherds men are also on the prowl while there are other flashpoints of violence across the land. There are also millions who are not armed but who feel that they have been seriously short-changed out of the resources of this country because of the political/economic model we have adopted. It was under these circumstances that former President Jonathan suddenly empanelled the national conference. Before the conference, there was an undeclared and un-moderated debate by Nigerians about what to do with or to Nigeria. Some people feel that the nation should be divided because we have nothing in common and

that the division should be between North South and I ask: which north and which south? Some argue that our strength lies in our size and diversity and that we should optimize what we have. Others feel that we should adopt true federalism but which one is true federalism? Contingency theory teaches that federalism is only true to the environment and that is why we have different federal systems across the globe. Some argue that Nigeria is wonderful the way it is today and that landmass should be the determinant of everything. They forget that Japan, small as it is, is the 3rd biggest economy globally. Others want 100% of their resources but they forget that everybody has his own resource and none of the greatest countries in the world today depends on natural resources. They depend on human capabilities: intelligence, ideas and information. Anyway, Jonathan and PDP were not successful in the 2015 elections and an apparently unprepared APC is on board and implementing the conference resolutions is not on their agenda. To be continued

Double tragedy for family as NYSC records another death at Taraba

Lillian fit as fiddle at the orientation (insert) NYSC Logo

Stories by Gbubemi God’s Covenant Snr The 43-year-old National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme in Nigeria has hit the news again - for all the bad reasons. Its batch B, first stream of 2016/2017 service year which began the orientation exercise on November 24, 2016 has recorded one painful death of participants too many across the land. The latest count is the mysterious death of 27-year-old Lillian Nkechinyere Amakor, a graduate of Sociology and Anthropology from Imo State University. Lillian was in the Batch B-2016 NYSC Orientation Camp which commenced January 24th and ended February 13th, 2017. She died at her state of deployment, Taraba, under unacceptable circumstances that have become a pattern in the NYSC scheme. Before then, deaths were reported in Abuja, Bayelsa, Kano, and Zamfara state orientation camps where Chinyerum Nwenenda Elechi, Ifedolapo Oladepo and Monday Asuquo and others respectively, lost their lives. The pervasive outrage that attended these unfortunate incidents was informed by the belief in many quarters that the deaths could have been averted if the organisers of the camps had been adequately prepared for the exercise and more alert to their responsibilities. Sadly, negligence and inadequate capacity were believed to have occasioned the loss of these young and promising compatriots in their prime. The last of three daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James Iheanacho Amakor from Umualumaku, Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, Lillian’s mum, Mrs Mercy Nne Amaior, took all of three months (February to May) to recover from the loss of the most important child of her womb before she could talk to The Daily Times. THE SORDID STORY On the 13th of February Nkechi told her

mother on phone that she had caught cold at the camp where they sent her. “I offered to go and look after her, but another corper there said that won’t be necessary. I heard them tell Lillian jokingly that she must be her mother’s pet. JAMES IHEANACHO AMAKOR “A man called my number the next day and said Lillian is sick and asked for money to pay for tests and some medicines. He identified himself as Joseph Asumbu, principal of Gdss Kassa, the school my daughter was posted to serve after the orientation. I sent N29,000 to the account number he gave me; I asked again if I can come but he said that won’t be necessary. A lady who identified herself as Faith, a corper in the same school said she is taking care of Lillian. She will not let me talk to my daughter. They took her phone and ATM card and this Faith had made withdrawals from Lillian’s account within the few days. Points to ponder: N40,000 was sent to Principal Asumbu’s personal account on Tuesday Feb 21st. When the Amakors could retrieve Lillian’s phone afterwards, it was discovered that N29,000 had been withdrawn from her account on Sunday the 19th of February. It was after N40,000 was posted to Principal Asumbu’s account that Faith called the dead corper’s father and said the NYSC requires any of them to come. Said James Amakor: “I called Asumbu to know whether he was aware that NYSC is asking us to come, and he said “No problem at all, when you get there, Lillian will come out,” and I thought he was making sense. I didn’t know they had killed my daughter at that time. “According to hospital record, she was taken from wherever they had kept her (while collecting money from us and withdrawing from her account) - to the Federal Medical Center the next day, Monday 20th February. “A call came from NYSC after midnight of Tuesday (opening hour of Wednesday 22nd Feb) inviting either my husband or myself to

come. Why did Asumbu demand N40,000 from the Amakors, and what did he do with the money? Also, why did Corper Faith withdraw N29,000 from Nkechi’s account, and what did she do with the money? These two have important explanation to make to the Amakors, the police and the Nigerian public in general; they must clear their names before God and before man.” Rosemary Collinus (nee Amakor), a resident at Taraba who went on a fact finding mission, gave her account: “When I got to Taraba, I found the name of the Local Government she was posted to (after her orientation) is called Yorr LGA and the name of the school she was stationed is Gdss Kassa in the same Yorr LGA in Taraba State. The name of the principal of the school is Joseph Asumbu; he took Corper Lillian and hid her in his house, deceiving her parents that all is well for almost a week while he extorted money from the Amakors and his accomplice, Faith who claimed to be caring for her was withdrawing monies from Lillian’s account. They only took Lillian to the Federal Medical Council few hours to her death and she arrived there almost unconscious. What Asumbu and Faith did with Nkechi for those days inside his house is best known to him and his God.

rity and general well-being of youths enlisted to serve the nation on its platform.” The “established procedures”, The Daily Times gathered first hand, is that any medical expenses up to N1000 is referred to Abuja for “clearance” while the fate of the patient hangs in the balance. The “high-powered committee” set up since November 2016 to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the loss the Corps members is yet to make its findings known.

NYSC SPEAKS Responding to nationwide outcry over pain the National Youth Service Corps is causing families across the nation, the NYSC in a statement issued by its Director-General, Brig. General, Suleiman Kazaure, in Abuja denied the impression that the deaths were recorded because of negligence by its personnel. He said, “The deaths largely followed brief illnesses and after medical teams in the camps battled to save them in line with established procedures. “The NYSC management appreciates the concern of stakeholders, and wishes to assure the general public, especially serving and prospective corps members as well as parents and guardians that the scheme will continue to take measures aimed at ensuring the secu-

CORPERS, A PEOPLE DOCILE, DETACHED AND WITHDRAWN A recent editorial of a national newspaper described the psychological withdrawn this condition has created in serving corpers as worrisome. One would wonder why our promising participants – all graduates of tertiary institutions, have become so docile that they do not protest the indignity of their conditions. They tolerate sub-human conditions in the orientation camps without protesting. Even when one of them got killed in a controversial circumstance in Kano, others simply continued their orientation programme without any fellow feeling. These somewhat detached and withdrawn educated youngsters are not the type of future leaders Nigeria needs to make the much needed difference in the country’s challenged socio-political space. It is not being suggested that ‘corpers’ should take the law into their own hands. But as critical agents in the process of nation building, it is expected that they will constructively but firmly disapprove of misconduct by camp officials and their exposure to harsh and deleterious conditions in the camps. The paper urged a comprehensive appraisal of all the orientation camps in the country to ascertain the living conditions, the state of infrastructure and facilities, the health care system and the actual level of utilisation of resources deployed for the care and welfare of the youth corps members. Proven cases of official negligence should be punished while those found to be diverting the scheme’s resources to personal use should be made to face the full weight of the law.

audit is without prejudice to the inquiry into the tragic deaths of the three corps members which President Muhammadu Buhari has directed. The investigation should be thorough and appropriate sanctions should be meted out to those who are guilty of official misconduct, negligence and deliberate apathy that resulted in these avoidable deaths.

Double tragedy for family as NYSC records another death at Taraba

Story behind the tragedy

Mother of the later youth corper, Mrs. Mercy Nne Amakor, slowly coming out of the shock of losing her cherished last of three daughters revealed to The Daily Times the “finger of fate” that caused Nkechi to painfully become her last daughter and why they were very close. In her pain, Mercy laments that Nkechi represented the other children she could not have, because of a tragic medical error after she gave birth to her. Her story: I had Nkechi at Roschan Hospital at Shasha area of Alimosho LGA. She was my third, and I looked forward to having many children after her, but three months after I birthed Nkechi, I felt some pain in my stomach and when I consulted the hospital at Roschan, the doctor there told me I was going to have what he called ovarian cyst. I didn’t know what that meant because I was young in marriage, about 28 or 29. Her regret: I don’t know the fate that took me to Roschan hospital at Shasha, because I delivered my first two children at Motayo Hospital at Ikeja without problem. It was my landlady at the time, one Mrs. Adesoga, who suggested I should be checking myself at the General Hospital before going to private hospitals to deliver. She meant well, I suppose, but Motayo was the company hospital of NAACO where I was a staff. At the General Hospital I was referred to that Roschan to do a scan, to see what the baby looked like. The expatriate doctor I met there, a German lady (her husband was a Nigerian, from Edo state), persuaded me to have my baby there, and without thinking, I said, well, since I was referred to them, let me just make a change. I wasn’t to know that would be my undoing. The baby weighed almost 5kg when she was born. I didn’t have any problem, but after three months, I experienced turning of my stomach, and when I complained to the doctor, she said said she suspected ovarian cyst. I didn’t think to cross check with Motayo hospital or anywhere else to confirm, and that’s why I am crying for the loss of my Nkechi. So they performed the operation at Roschan hospital. I didn’t know what they did and they didn’t show us anything, but after the operation, I noticed I just could not get pregnant again and that was how I stopped having children. Now 56, Mercy said she was supposed to sue the hospital at the time, but it didn’t occur to the family. “I was young and my husband too. When the doctor at my company hospital and my boss learnt of what they had done to me, they were very angry. The doctor queried them; I remember them arguing over some medical terms which my husband and I didn’t understand or know anything about, but I recall that she asked them, “Did she tell you she doesn’t want to have more children? Why did you do this without their consent - and you couldn’t even tell me?” Mercy suspected the doctor concluded on the operation because her stomach had not settled to its normal size after she had her first two daughters and this Nkechi within three years without break. “That is why the doctor concluded wrongly that I had a problem which I didn’t have,” she mourned. Because of that, if anyone called Nkechi “Last born”, she takes it badly. “It pains me even more because I was still young then and I intended to have four more children after Nke-

chi. So my Nkechi represented the children I couldn’t have, she was the life I could not give to other children that I should have had; that’s why she was emotionally and psychologically and biologically embedded in my soul, my spirit and my blood,” and she wept uncontrollably. When she could speak again, Mercy recalled when her daughter was going for the service: “When she was going for that service, my Nkechi was full of life and healthy; the medical test gave her a clean bill of health and she was full of happiness; we all celebrated with her and sent her forth. “My Nkechi was not sick before she went for service; she wasn’t living with any medical condition. It is NYSC that killed my daughter, and I leave everything to God.”

OVARIAN CYST – What it is

Madam Oriyomi Adeosun, a medical expert and social worker, took The Daily Times into the medical condition called ovarian cyst. Her discourse: Cyst is a condition that cause a growth in the ovary which can make it to undergo certain changes that can make it watery and become infected, but this can be treated, depending on how bad it is. From the account of the woman, Mrs. Amakor, doctors can remove the ovary, but it cannot be the cyst that made them to remove it. As a professional caution, there should have been all kinds of tests done to ascertain what is the exact problem, before they take a decision like that, and they should have told her they were going to remove her ovary. Beside that, there are two ovaries that produce the female egg. If the female egg cannot produce, there’s nothing they can do, but even if it is, the second one should be functioning. As far as possible, as a practice, doctors should always try to preserve the other one at least because it is rare that both get infected at the same time. It is unfortunate that this happened that way and it is a long time ago. There are some people whose ovaries are not producing eggs, but they can get donor eggs or even donor sperm so they can still have children. That won’t be the same as her biological child now, would it? That’s true, though, but the baby would grow right inside her as her own natural baby would. Well, if there should be a DNA test, the test will prove the baby is not her flesh and blood? Yes, of course.

Well, if there should be a DNA test, the test will prove the baby is not her flesh and blood. Yes, of course. Rosemary Collinus (nee Amakor), a resident at Taraba/Jalingo who went on a fact finding mission, gave her account: “When I got to Taraba, I found the name of the Local Government she was posted to (after her orientation) is called Yorr LGA and the name of the school she was stationed is Gdss Kassa in the same Yorr LGA in Taraba State. The name of the principal of the school is Joseph Asumbu; he took Corper Lillian and hid her in his house, deceiving her parents that all is well for almost a week while he extorted money from the Amakors and his accomplice, Faith who claimed to be caring for her was withdrawing monies from Lillian’s account. They only took Lillian to the Federal Medical Council few hours to her death and she arrived there almost unconscious. What he did with Nkechi for those days inside his house is best known to him and his God. My number is 0803435 4829

175 Nigerians voluntarily return from Libya

Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

ÎÎÎ

No fewer than 175 Nigerians have voluntarily returned from Libya, aboard a chartered Nouvelair aircraft with registration number TS-INA. The returnees comprising of 34 males, 122 females, 10 children and nine infants landed at 7.50pm at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. They were brought back by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Nigerian Embassy in Libya. The returnees were received at the Hajj Camp area of the airport by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS , the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP and the Police, the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN. Speaking with journalists, director, search and rescue, NEMA, Air Commodore Paul Ohemu said the agency in collaboration

with the IOM was working to stem irregular migration and return stranded Nigerians from Libya. Nigerians should stay back and contribute their quota to the socio-economic development of the country, Ohemu advised. “There are a lot of things you can do in Nigeria here. You don’t have to travel outside the country in search of greener pastures. My advice to parents is to keep tab on their children and to ensure that they know where their children are going to and not to be deceived by phantom prom-

NOC, SFAN set for Olympic Day celebration

ANDREW EKEJIUBA

he Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) in conjunction with Sports for All Nigerians (SFAN), are fully set to join the rest of the world in celebrating the 2017 Olympic Day which comes up on Saturday, June 24, 2017. Chairman of SFAN, Prince Henry Amike revealed in Lagos that his commission is working round the clock to ensure that Nigeria participates fully in the event

which takes place annually. To this end, Amike informed that the NOC in conjunction with SFAN, are having series of meetings with Fitness Clubs to ensure that nothing short of a hundred percent record is achieved this year, just the way it was in 2016 and previous years. Meanwhile, NOC President, Engr. Habu Gumel has appealed to Nigerians to come out in their thousands for the event which not only promotes health but ensures physical well-being of every

individual. In Lagos, the Executive Governor of the State, Akinwunmi Ambode, is expected to flag-off the event at 7am at the National Stadium, while participants will jog through the National Stadium down to Ojuelegba, from there to Falolu and move down to Marsha before heading back to the National Stadium car park where the programme will be rounded off with funfair which includes aerobics and musical jamboree amidst other side attractions

Eduwo, Preko emerge LBA winners for May ANDREW EKEJIUBA

obi Stars forward Kingsley Eduwo and FC Ifeanyiubah’s Ghanaian head coach Yaw Preko have been named League Bloggers Awards (LBA) Player and Manager respectively for the month of May. Eduwo and Preko posted superior performances with their clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in the month under review to fend off other contenders in the running for both categories of awards. It was a strong field of shortlists for the player’s award as Eduwo had to square up with last season’s top scorer Godwin Obaje of FC Ifeanyiubah, Enugu Rangers winger Osas Okoro and Plateau United left-back Daniel Itodo. At the end, the list was trimmed to just two players, Eduwo and Obaje. The FC Ifeanyiubah man and his Lobi counterpart were tied on three goals apiece in May. Eduwo scored in Lobi’s 1-0 win at Sunshine Stars and got a double against MFM FC while Obaje netted in FC Ifeanyiubah’s 3-0 success at Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) and then scored the two goals that saw off four-time champions Kano Pillars in Nnewi.

However, Eduwo topped Obaje with an assist in their three-nil victory over MFM at the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi on 28 May when he provided the assist for Sunday Akleche’s goal to wrap up a fine day in the office for Lobi. Abdu Maikaba of Akwa United, Solomon Ogbeide of Lobi Stars and Chukwuma Agbo of Rangers were all in line for the manager’s award alongside Preko. Preko, Maikaba and Ogbeide led their teams to unbeaten streaks in May. FC Ifeanyiubah under Preko in May were ruthless - defeating 3SC in Ibadan 3-0 and

cruising past Kano Pillars 2-0 in Nnewi - to finish the month as the most impressive side with no goal conceded and best superior goal difference.

Asiegbu assures Abia Warriors of goals ANDREW EKEJIUBA

bia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia mercurial mid-fielder, Shedrack Asiegbu says his two goals against league leaders, Plateau United in a Week 25 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) at the weekend will motivate him to do more for the

club. Asiegbu, who had not scored for Abia Warriors this season, before his brace last weekend, broke the ice at the Umuahia Township Stadium with what might eventually turn out to be a strong contender for the goal of the season in the 12th minute when he received a pass from around the centre circle, chested the ball to his knee level and released a thunderous left-footed shot which settled at the bottom left corner of the net as Plateau United goalkeeper, Dele Ajiboye, stood transfixed. After Hamza Owolabi equalized for the league leaders in the 80th minute, Asiegbu had the responsibility of ensuring victory for the Warriors when h e held his nerves to beat Ajiboye from the spot with the last kick of the game. Asiegbu told Extra Time that he was happy to grab the headlines and commende d the Te c h n i c a l Crew led by Abdullahi Biffo for the confidence they reposed in him even when the goals refused to come his way. “The coaches believe in me and they have been advising me on how to improve my game. I was very happy when I scored the goals. I dedicate the goals to God my team mates and the entire team,” he further stated.

The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has declared its willingness to explore new funding avenues to boost the capacity of the interventionist agency to tackle the development challenges of the Niger Delta region. The Managing Director of the Commission, Mr. Nsima Ekere, said this when a delegation from a South Korean firm paid him a courtesy visit at its headquarters in Port Harcourt on Wednesday. He reaffirmed the Commission’s resolve to do things differently in its drive to fast-track the development of Nigeria’s oil-rich region. He told the South Korean delegation: “What you are offering is slightly different from what we are used to but we are ready to explore the opportunities in the new area.” Mr. Ekere thanked leaders of the Korean firm for showing interest in Nigeria and the Niger Delta, noting that the oil-producing region was in dire need of world class infrastructure. He added: “Building infrastructure is an expensive venture and our access to fund is limited. Yet, we need funds to move faster. We are interested in working with you to provide the financing needed for our projects.”

The oil sector may witness another big shock, following the industrial action embarked upon by the employees of oil giants, Chevron Nigeria. The embattled workers of the multinational oil company are up in arms against the management of the company over a number of issues, including welfare and proposed disengagement of workers

slated for August this year. But the apprehensive workers fear that the template for the proposed rationalisation may not be in tune with the labour’s collective agreement. They have, therefore, threatened total shut down of operation, which, if not properly handled by the management, could send a wrong signal to the global oil market. The Daily Times gathered that the strike action, which has since

Thursday, taken effect at the premises of the oil company, has begun impacting on the operations of the firm, as the workers, under the aegis of Petroleum Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, have abandoned their desks. A source said that, “The most important part of their grievances is a staff rationalisation exercise planned for August”. The local PENGASSAN is aggrieved

that the management of Chevron has not engaged them up to this point, and has raised concerns that the proposed lay-offs are a sharp departure from previous lay-offs, which have been voluntary. The union has said that it expects the management to come to the dialogue table, a demand which if not met, will force a total shutdown of Chevron’s production.” Observers say that beyond the CONTINUES ON PAGE B2

Maritime: Nigeria to provide support for Ghana NITDA, EFCC partner on IT … Set to sign MoU Babajide Okeowo

provide support to the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) through a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside who made this known during a working visit by the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) to the Agency led by its Director General, Mr. Kwame Owusu stated that in carrying out its statutory functions, the Agency is strengthened by three important Acts of Parliament namely: the Merchant Shipping Act, the NIMASA Act and the Cabotage Act. He also informed the GMA team that in order for NIMASA to actualize its core mandates which cuts across shipping development,

maritime safety and security, maritime labour services, amongst others, the Agency is currently repositioning and rebranding for greater efficiency, geared towards realizing a virile maritime sector in line with global best practices. “We have taken a number of initiatives to reform, restructure and reposition the organization; what we have now is not what we have always had, a lot has changed over time and you will get to learn from our own experience the life we lived and still living. Nobody realizes his vision overnight, our vision is work in progress with a focus on becoming the foremost maritime administration in Africa, advancing Nigeria’s maritime goal”, the DG stated.

Tony Nwakaegho National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), have form a pact to wage anti-corruption war against racketeers in the procurement of Information Technology, (IT) products and service among the Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government. Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, the director general of NITDA, disclosed this when he led the management team of the Agency, recently on a working visit to the EFCC Headquarter in Abuja. Pantami said that the partner-

ship has become imperative in the face of the wanton corruption being perpetrated by MDAs, especially in the procurement of IT products and services. According to him, most of the projects pass through less scrutiny during budget defense at National Assembly because of the expertise required to ascertain the needs and specifications of these IT requirements. “Many MDAs consider IT projects as conduit pipes to siphon public funds and I believe partnering with EFCC will bring sanity to the sector, and by then, the commission will be empowering NITDA in strengthening its regulatory function through which it CONTINUES ON PAGE B2

will also be developing and promoting the local content in the IT sector,” the DG NITDA said. Commenting on the modus operandi of the partnership, Dr Pantami said that the two organisations could form a working group, which would also serve as a desk to deal with sharp practices in the IT procurement, noting that “EFCC may help in asking MDAs to produce procurement clearance issued by NITDA during their investigations.” He said that NITDA as IT regulatory body in the country is responsible for subjecting IT product to value-for-money analysis, reduce projects duplication, justify the spending of public funds on IT projects and to advise MDAs on the alternative options of IT products and service with a view of reducing cost especially on sharing of software among themselves. The DG, who believed that the alliance would strengthen the existing relationship between the Agency and the Commission said “supporting NITDA would go a long way in blocking loopholes in IT procurements.”

FG to provide renewable energy for rural communities

Simon Ugwu

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that the Federal Government would provide renewable source of power to at least one million households in rural communities not connected to the national grid. He made this revelation at the Nigerian Renewable Energy Roundatable organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology in conjunction with the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Narrating the success story of renewable energy in rural Wuna village in Gwagwalada local gov-

ernment area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which was unconnected to the national grid, got power through renewable energy initiative by the Niger

Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), the acting President said the government through the Rural Electrification Agency is developing an energy database that would show community locations and energy demand profiles, which in turn would save Solar Home System / Solar Mini grid providers time and money. “In Wuna Village, where the inhabitants now have running water, with each home having four points of lights, and many women processing their millets with solar powered light according to him will soon be replicated in over one million rural settlements across the country. The government is doing 20,000 more homes in this first phase of this

strike action, the shutdown could have far reaching consequences on Nigeria, a country currently bogged down by recession, huge debt, security challenges and revenue shortfall . Analysts say that some of the immediate and long- term effects of the challenge could be a negative l impact on the country’s production figures which the NNPC puts at 2.2mbpd. Chevron produces 500kbpd, the Agbami production facility alone does about 250kpbd. According to SBM ,an intelligence research firm, ‘there is the potential for the national PENGASSAN to join in in solidarity, as we saw in the Mobil incident. This could quickly affect gas supply to the Nigerian Gas Company, and have an impact on power.’ In the medium term, the firm says, “such a shutdown could hit the N7.44 bn 2017 budget”, which has already been signed into law by Acting President, Profesor Yemi Osinbajo. Already, Brent Crude is currently trading at $44.78. Nigeria’s 2017 budget is predicated on $44.50 and 2.2 mbpd.

exercise and a Pay-as-you-go system to 20,000 households to provide access to lighting and electric power for small devices. The plan is to expand the Solar Home System program to one million households, creating a few more million jobs,” he said. “The Federal government through the Rural Electrification Agency is developing an energy database that would show community locations and energy demand profiles, which in turn saves Solar Home System / Solar Mini grid providers time and money because we have already identified the communities beforehand. We are also championing the use of mobile money for solar home system payments,” he added.

Nigeria can produce natural gas vehicles –NIPCO MD By Simon Ugwu Despite the challenges that exist in developing Natural Gas Vehicles, (NGVs) in Nigeria, there are prospects of sustainable environmental and economic benefits for both Nigerians and the government. The Managing Director, NIPICO Plc, Sanjay Teotia, stated this at Nigerian Gas Association 2017 Business Forum, held in Lagos with a theme, Current Challenges, the value & the future of natural gas as transportation. Beside the environmental benefits from developing the Nigerian NGV industry will be a profitable proposition, he said NGVs in Nigeria have huge potential for creating jobs and a large market for gas, thereby providing alternatives to petrol usage and saving

foreign exchange for the Nigerian government. He, therefore, recommended that there should be clear strategic plan to increase the share of natural gas in the Nigerian fuel mix be put in place by the Government, adding that there should be strong regime commitment, liberal licensing regime for setting up CNG dispensing stations, investments in widespread availability of natural gas through a well established pipeline distribution network. Government policies according to him should waive off custom duties on NGVs, subsidy to vehicle owners to convert their vehicles, introduce NGVs in public transportation system – taxi fleet, mass transit buses and Mandate use of NGVs in all depts of Local/State/Federal govern-

ments. Mr. Teotia revealed that major vehicle manufacturers are bringing NGVs into the market . these he listed to include, Light duty vehicles – Cars & SUVs Honda; Suzuki; Audi; Toyota; GM; Ford; Hyundai; KIA; Fiat; Volkswagen; Skoda; Mercedes Benz; Chrysler. Others are heavy duty vehicles Trucks & Buses; Volvo; Kenworth; Navistar; Peterbilt; Freightliner; Iveco; Mercedes Benz; Daewoo; Tata; Marcopolo; Ashok Leyland; Renault; Sino The NIPCO boss maintained that there are huge potentials which should be seen as solution as Natural gas is clean, economical and domestic fuel resource , adding that NGV technology is available, proven & cost competitive.

Nigeria’s most prestigious banking proposition for women, One Woman by Sterling Bank, is powering the Sexually Confident Woman programme holding at the Sheraton Hotels and Towers in Lagos this month.

B3 Money Market

Naira remains steady at 368/$1 at parallel market Ï L0 Ƌ ƌƆ Ɛ ƆƇƇƆƅƐ Ƈ Ƒ Ɛ ƄƋƆ 0

Motolani Oseni The Nigerian currency, Naira, remained unchanged at 368 to a dollar at the end of Thursday trading, the same rate traded on Wednesday and most of the week, just as the Microfinance Banks (MfBs) lamented the current economic recession and the lingering unstable or unpredictable foreign exchange trend as a great danger and huge obstacle to growth and sustenance of micro, small and medium enterprises in the country. The local currency, had de-

preciated slightly on Wednesday, against the Euro at the unofficial forex market to close at 410 but firm yesterday to close at 409, while remained unchanged at 465 to a Pound sterling. But the naira, dropped at the Investors & Exporters Foreign Exchange (I&E FX) window, yesterday opened at 366 and closed 363 against 361.67 closing rate the previous day. Also, at the official market, the Naira, depreciated slightly to close at 305.85 against 305.80 traded on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, MfBs are bemoaning the current unpredictable foreign exchange trend as a great danger and huge obstacle to growth of SMEs in the country. The banks, therefore, called on the Federal government to quickly introduce measures that will remove the wedge and allow free growth of micro, small and medium scale businesses. Speaking on behalf of the Microfinance Bank operators, the chairman, NAMB, Enugu State Chapter, Mrs. Nnenna Ma-

ria Ekete, said, the forex unpredictable trend is hindering operators of micro and small scale businesses from approaching microfinance institutions for access to funds to do or sustain their businesses, thus adversely affecting the performance of the microfinance banks in Nigeria. She noted that one major negative impact of economic recession and fluctuating forex on MSMEs was that operators and prospective operators in this sector of the economy hardly approach MfBs to access available

funds meant for their businesses, out of the fear of possible consequences of obtaining credit facilities and not being able to repay later. The multiplier negative impact of this, according to her, could be observed, for instance, in the substantial shortfall in the amount of funds’ disbursements recorded by many microfinance institutions in the first quarter of the year, as against what was the experience in the immediate financial year and the target in the first quarter of the current year.

UK millennials jettisoning ‘traditional’ banking, opt for smartphone- Survey The trend poses significant challenges to financial advisers and high street banks who have traditionally delivered their services face-toface, according to a new report Almost half of UK millennials want to do their financial planning on a smartphone, a trend that poses significant challenges to financial advisers and high street banks, who have traditionally delivered their services face-to-face, according to a new report. ‘Generation App’ millennials, aged between 18 and 35, are nearly twice as likely to use mobile phones than older generations, according to a survey by Legg Mason, a global as-

set management firm. The study found that 93 per cent of millennials use their mobiles to access the internet, compared to 52 per cent of baby boomers, or those aged between 53 and 71. The rising popularity of smartphones among younger generations means ways of engaging with financial services are changing rapidly. A total of 46 per cent of UK millennials are keen to use their smartphones to do all their financial planning – which is the highest in Europe, according to Legg Mason. By contrast, just 13 per cent of baby boomers feel comfortable with such an approach. The survey took is

based on responses from 15,300 people worldwide. It showed that worldwide, 47 per cent of all millennials are keen to do all their financial planning on their mobiles, compared to 22 per

cent of all baby boomers. Justin Ede, head of distribution for Europe and the Americas at Legg Mason, said: “Services that have traditionally always been delivered face-to-

face are now becoming automated, and the use of smartphones for financial planning is another step in that direction. “Indeed, these statistics reveal the extent to which the

demand for fully digital solutions is growing among the younger generation and it will be interesting to see how financial services businesses respond to the challenges this presents.”

CBN engages Ogun farmers, SMEs on financial inclusion Stories by Simon Ugwu The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday, held a seminar for farmers and small and medium scale enterprises (SME) operators in Abeokuta, Ogun State, in continuation of its enlightenment campaign, aimed at bringing more people into the formal financial sector, The apex bank used the opportunity provided by the financial inclusion fair to educate participants on its numerous real sector intervention programmes. These programmes, according to the bank, are geared towards enhancing the well-being of Nigerians and promoting economic development in general.

CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele

Speaking on the theme of the seminar; ‘Promoting Financial System Stability and Economic Devel-

opment,’ CBN’s Deputy Director, Consumer Protection Department, Hajia Khadijah Kasim said that the bank took its enlightenment campaign to the ancient city of Abeokuta in order to inform the people about its activities, interventions and recent developments in the financial system. “We want to interact with you one on one. The bank’s officials are here to talk to you about rights and responsibilities of bank’s customers; how we can lodge complaints to CBN if we have issues with our financial service providers. “You will also be informed about different efforts of the CBN to ensure that every Nigerian is financially included, so that all of

us can enjoy enormous opportunities that abound in this space,” she said. In his welcome address, the Abeokuta Branch Controller of the CBN, Mr. Babatunde Amao called on the farmers and SME operators to make constructive criticisms and suggestions that could serve as useful contributions towards pulling the country out of recession. He said the CBN recognises the importance of the city, and the fact that Abeokuta is home to most prominent Nigerian entrepreneurs. Also, a senior manager in the Development Finance Department of CBN, Dr. Xavier Okon, explained to participants that the

CBN helps to solve the problems most businesses face in Nigeria; especially that of long-term financing needs, which commercial banks cannot meet because their funds are mainly short term in nature. According to him, CBN had intervened in agriculture, infrastructure, SMEs sector among others. Some of the participants who complained about difficulties in accessing loans, as well as, high cost of borrowing, rising cases of destruction of cultivated farms by herdsmen, including other bottlenecks, were told by Okon to avail themselves of the opportunities provided by the CBN’s Anchor borrowers programme.

N150bn OMO maturity pushes drop in OBB/ON rates to 8.50%/ 9.00 % Bonny Amadi

THE Open Buy Back (OBB) and the overnight rates declined remarkably on Thursday, following the maturity of N150 billion Open Market Operations (OMO) and subsequent inflow of funds in the finance sector. The Open-Buy-Back and Overnight rates fell to 8.50 per cent and 9.08 per cent, from 18.00 per cent and 19.00 per cent, recorded a day (Wednesday) preceding the OMO maturity. However, the decline occurred, irrespective of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) selling N23billion worth of bills at 18.00 per cent and 18.60 per cent stop rates. The bond market, on Thursday, recorded bullish trades, a development investors linked to the OMO maturities, as it enhanced system liquidity. The downward trend in yields was most noticeable on the July 2021, which fell by 10bps to 16.27 per cent. the yield on the 5yr and 7yr benchmark bonds were flat at 16.17 per cent and 15.91 per cent respectively, while the yield on the 10yr benchmark bond thinned by 9bps to 16.20 per cent. Experts project that CBN is likely to keep system li-

quidity tight in defense of the local currency, as this is poised to sustain high tempo of money market rates, as yields in the bond market are likely to remain range bound in the absence of offshore demands. Meanwhile, the Nigerian bourse closed in the red for the second trading session in a row with the NSE-ASI down by -1.64%, following sell-off in tickers across sectors. The index YTD return now stands at +22.53%, while market capitalization closed at c.N11.39bn. Analysts maintained that, “In the near term, we see downside risk to ASI performance from volatility in Brent oil price, given its implication for reserve accretion and exchange rate stability. With that said, we however expect support to market performance from recent reform in the FX market as well as new PFAs guideline, which requires increased investment allocation to equities.” In the currency space, on Thursday, CBN sustained its intervention at the close of trading at the interbank market, the NGN continued to close at N305-306 levels against the USD.

Real Estate Challenge: Africa in dire need of housing infrastructure Stories by Babajide Okeowo Following reports that over the next 20 years, the rapid growth of Africa’s urban population is expected to thrust new demand for infrastructure, such as, housing, other physical structures and amenities, experts, town planners, city municipalities and Africa’s largest real estate and built environment developers and investors, will converge to debate and craft a vision of what an African city should look like at the API Summit and Expo 2017. “As Africa faces a new reality, we must accept that the continent cannot move

forward without proper discussions around the planning, infrastructure and urban development requirements of African cities in order for them to thrive and grow. The Future Cities Africa sub-conference, will take an in depth look into how African cities can better open its doors to the world, while creating more economically dense and inclusive urban areas,” says Kfir Rusin, Managing Director for API Events. “In order for African cities to bridge the economic, socio-political gaps they currently face, we need to pay special focus on how we can create sustainable, connected cities. Without

Prefabrication in building development, is fast taking its strong root worldwide; and Nigeria is not an exception. The new technology-induced system, has its own advantages and disadvantages; but globally, real estate developers and construction giants, have since keyed into it to the excitement of customers and other stakeholders. Prefabrication is the method of construction, which includes assembling components of a structure in a manufacturing or production site, transporting complete assemblies or partial assemblies to the site where the structure is to be located. It is combination of good design with modern high-performance components and quality-controlled

them, Africa’s growth and development will remain sluggish, and uncertain. The answers to these key issues will not only help to develop Africa’s future cities, but will ultimately have a positive influence on the growth of the real estate market for the rest of the continent,” Rusin added. Recall that a team of researcher had predicted that while Africa’s cities are growing rapidly in population, the cities are developing informally as current urban planning has proven to be ineffective, and private development is often deterred by opaque or inappropriate regulations

The report further highlighted that when it comes to investments in infrastructure, industrial and commercial structures, and affordable formal housing, African cities have, until now, failed to keep pace with the concentration of people. In Dar es Salaam, 28% of residents live at least three to a room; in Abidjan, that number rises to 50%; And in Lagos, Nigeria, two out of three people dwell in slums. This report further stated that by 2035, close to 30 million people could live in Lagos alone, which in turn will make Nigeria’s commercial hub into the largest megacity on the continent.

The Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), South-West Zone, has said the the absence of a National Building Code has been responsible for the re-occurrence of building collapse in the country. For this reason, the association has urged that the bill that would address the challenge be passed into law. This, the association said will regulate the conduct and operations of professionals and stakeholders in the construction industry, thereby eliminating the use of non-professionals and quacks in the building and construction industry. In a statement signed by the chairman, Taiwo Ogunbodede on behalf of the executive committee and members of zone, REDAN noted that construction/development business is a serious business, and as such, appropriate human resources should be deployed to tackle it. The body said only professionals and certified engineers should be contracted in any building projects. “Building contractors should ensure that their designs are reviewed and approved by the appropriate authorities before commencing any

major building project. So many developers / contractors don’t engage the services of qualified building engineers”, it noted. REDAN further queried what it called, lackadaisical attitude of most building contractors, which, if not properly dealt with may continue to pose a problem in the construction industry. According to it, proper maintenance culture must be cultivated for the avoidance of building since the best constructed buildings need to be properly maintained. Ogunbodede said that the association was aware of the recent cases of building collapse in Lagos State within the last two months; and commiserated with the Lagos State Government and the families of those who lost their lives in the incidents. The group condemned the lack of professionalism that led to the series of collapses; and advised builders and developers to use quality building materials to forestall building collapse. According to him, one of the major causes of building collapse is the failure of builders or developers to stick strictly to the right quantity and quality of building materials.

Real Estate Tips Essentials of prefabrication in housing development manufacturing procedures. This work is carried out in two stages, manufacturing of components in a place other than final location and their erection in position. While this innovation is firmly rooted in advanced countries in the world, it is slowly gaining acceptance in Nigeria and many other developing countries. Advantages Prefabricated components speed up construction time, resulting in lower labour costs; it also allows for year-round construction, as work is not affected by weather delays (related to excessive cold, heat, rain, snow, etc.).

. The mechanization used in prefabricated construction ensures precise conformity to building code standards and greater quality assurance; there are less wasted materials than in site-built construction; . There is less theft of material/equipment (and less property damage due to vandalisation); . Materials are protected from exposure to the elements during construction; similarly, worker safety and comfort level are higher than in site-built construction. . Computerization of the production process permits a high degree of customisation, at an af-

fordable cost. . Quality control and factory sealing and design can ensure high energy efficiency; and . Cost savings, through prefabrication can reduce the income required to qualify for a high ratio mortgage by up to one third compared to a conventionally built home of the same size. Disadvantages: Concerns have been raised by local and regional governments with regard to whether the taxation paid by manufactured homes is sufficient to offset public costs, such as, schools; the requirement to transport manufactured homes

or modules to their intended site can mean that prefabrication potential may be limited for infill projects in inner city areas; and . Increased production volume is required to ensure affordability through prefabrication. . Handling and transportation may also cause breakages of members during the transit and extra provision is to be made. Difficulty in connecting precast units so as to produce same effect as monolithic. This leads to nonmonolithic construction. . Skilled labour and supervision are also required.

Ebere Chibuzor Experts in the tourism industry have said they will use tour as part of efforts to domestic tourism. They also called for the creation of an all-inclusive holidays, business or religious trips that will be easily accessible for tourists in the country. This was disclosed by the Director General, Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), Mr. Folorunsho Coker, during a courtesy call on members of the Hotel & Personal Services Employers’ Association of Nigeria (HOPESEA), at the corporation’s headquarters in Abuja, recently. The experts said that, music, entertainment, fashion, cuisines, religion are part of good tourism assets; adding that, the country is endowed with great potential. “Nigeria is endowed with such tourism assets and untapped potential, which can be developed for domestic consumption and exportation, we need to give a new meaning to tourism, through a digital platform which

Tour viable tool for employment - Experts will anchor a complete trip, usually, including cost for accommodation, meals, ground transport, tour guide taxes, in an all-inclusive trip at a fair price,” he said. Speaking further, Coker stressed the need for stakeholders in the industry to come together and sell a single package tour as it is done in Dubai, India, Kenya and other parts of the world. The NTDC boss further sought for a strategic working partnership between the HOPESEA and NTDC, as the corporation is set to grade hotels according to international standards. He said,“We can only achieve our goals, if the private sector and corporate Nigerians support the tourism sector. Government cannot do it alone, we need to embrace tourism in Nigeria and work towards promoting the industry collectively.” Contributing, HOPESEA President, Mr. Ugbor Vincent, earlier in his speech, said that they were very pleased with

the opportunity to meet with the Director General of NTDC to seek continued improvement in deliverables in the tourism industry, saying, “HOPESEA is willing and ready to contribute to the sustainability of the tourism industry in Nigeria.” According to him, the Association represented the voice of all major players in hotels, guest houses, taverns, catering and restaurant businesses, and appealed that the opinion of business members’ organizations (BMOs) in the industry, should be sought and given attention, even if discretely. He said, “We are allies in your policies and programmes. In this wise, we hereby appeal that decisions, which affect the businesses of our members should be made with our input no matter how minimal and without compromising government’s confidentiality and impartially.” He also said, “there was need for a little direct plough back from the tourism and hospitality taxes and fees, while gov-

ernments are not obliged to utilize the proceeds from the taxes and fees mainly on the sector; and making a reasonable part of them to be of direct benefit to employers and employees in the sector will be a morale booster to the payers.” According to him,”A case is the establishment of Tourism Development Fund, which will provide soft loans through Bank

of Industry for renovation and refurbishment for members requiring upgrading or to meet short-term financial needs. Such loans will help enhance standards of facilities and services obtainable from our tourism companies.” He said, “there are many hotels, restaurants, merriment and entertainment taxes and fees paid by their members across

the country, adding that, that government should take a quick look at major challenges facing the industry, including street lights; street cameras, improvement in road network as well. “This will not only reduce crime rate, but will also boost night-life and promote leisure and tourism in the Federal Capital Territory, which is your direct domain.”

Mbadiwes set to unveil ‘Kings Celia’ Hotels Mutiat Alli In his quest to fulfill his parents’ dreams and contribute to the development of hospitality industry and tourism in Lagos State and Nigeria at large, former Nigerian ambassador to the Reoublic of Congo and a legal practitioner, Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe, MFR, with the support of the Mbadiwes, have inaugurated a luxury hotel and tourist centre, KingsssCelia Hotels and suites, in the heart of Lagos. The 5-star relaxation centre, situated at 8, Jibowu Street, Yaba, was part of his desire to accomplish his parents’, especially his father’s dream, adding, “my venture into hospitality business is to make the dream of my father a reality. My late father wanted to build a hotel in our hometown before his death, but the

project is still awaiting attention right now. Also, having partnered with some Congolese to set up a relaxation, Brassaville Beach Hotel, I felt it is important to boast the hospitality and tourism of my country too with this initiative.” SpeaKings on the importance of the location of the outfit, Kingss Celia, Mbadiwe revealed that the Yaba location is historical, stressing that it was the centre of the old Lagos. He added, “My siblings and I thought of immortalising our parents in our father’s first house located at Yaba, where he paticipated fully in Nigerian politics; and the pedigree of this house is such that he donated part of the house to the National Party of Nigeria,, NPN, then, in 1979. It would interest you to know that Alhaji Shehu Shagari lived in this house. I also grew up in this house. Yaba was

the end of Western Region then; and the beginning of Lagos. We decided to reconstruct and convert the house to a hotel and tourist centre in memory of our parents, Kingssley and Cecilia Mbadiwe; and also to complement the efforts of Lagos and Nigeria for honouring our dad.” Mbadiwe also noted that, the initiative, without doubt, will also project the values and great influence of the geographical area, mostly as a silicon valley of Nigeria; and also remind visitors with various displays of national leaders and pictorial displays indicating that Yaba was part of Nigeria’s political history. SpeaKings on the facilities and intending services to provide for prospective customers, the General Manager, Hassan Fawaz, a renowned hospitality business expert, said that the luxury edifice is ready to set a new

standard in the industry and the Nigerian market with a distinct hotel experience rooted in quality, excellence and culture. “Kingss Celia Hotel is very unique. We plan to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience matched by our very high standards and fully equipped facilities to even challenge those on the Island. Another attraction is the rich national cultural heritage we showcase on our walls. “Located in two floors are 50 luxury rooms ranging from standard, deluxe, executive rooms and suites for guests. Other facilities include, well designed parKings space, 24hour electricity and room service, as well as, Internet facility.” For recreation, he said, “We have swimming pool, gymnasium, onsite bar and restaurant, conference room, standard event center among others. Also,

it is situated only five minutes away from the Ozone Cinemas, and it is easily accessible to the

Greg

business districts of Lagos such as, Ikeja, Victoria Island and Lekki.”

Entrepreneurship B8 Continuing our discourse from where we stopped last week. The second problem with SoG is that its GEI subcomponent has a strong negative correlation with the other three subcomponents— government consumption, transfers, and tax rates. Also, if we look at the relationships of the SoG subcomponents with independent variables, such as GDP, GDP growth, health, education, and safety, we find that the correlations for GEI are positive whereas those for the other components are negative. Creating a composite indicator out of subcomponents that correlate negatively with one another and that have opposite relationships to independent variables is a statistically dubious procedure. Again resorting to analogy, suppose we want to devise a composite indicator of heating efficiency for residential buildings. We know that the size of a building’s windows and the thickness of its walls are relevant variables, but how to combine them? Simply averaging the thickness of the walls of each building and the area of its windows would not give us a reasonable composite indicator, since the two variables have opposite effects on heating efficiency. A house with small windows and thick walls could have the same score as one with large windows and thin walls, even though the former would be far more efficient than the latter. Instead, either we should treat windows and walls as separate variables in a multivariate analysis, or, if it is important to have a single compound indicator, we should reverse the sign on window area before combining it with wall thickness. My guess is that the people at Fraser who created the economic freedom index never thought about this problem. More likely, they used ideological rather than statistical criteria in formulating the SoG indicator. They probably assumed, a priori, that higher taxes, more government consumption, more transfers, and more government investment all make us less free, and accordingly, assumed that an average of the four would make a good measure of the size of government for their economic freedom index. The

result is statistical mush. None of this means that the size of government is unimportant. It suggests, instead, that Fraser’s SoG indicator is not a statistically sound measure of the size of government. We can check that by comparing SoG with a simpler measure based on the ratio of total government expenditures to GDP, which we will abbreviate as SGOV. The required data are available for all countries in our sample from the IMF World Economic Outlook database. For easier comparison with SoG and with other components of the EFI, I express SGOV on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the smallest government. (Specifically, if G is the ratio of government expenditure to GDP as expressed by the IMF on a scale of 0 to 100, then SGOV = (100-G)/10.) The SGOV indicator turns out to have much more explanatory power than Fraser’s SoG. The correlation of SGOV with the log of GDP per capita is -0.48,

compared with -0.25 for SoG. Both correlations suggest that higher levels of GDP are associated with larger government sectors and both coefficients are statistically significant, but the association is stronger for SGOV, derived from the simple ratio of government expenditure to GDP, than for Fraser’s original SoG indicator. Turning to the personal freedom index, the simple correlation of SGOV with PFI is -0.39, compared to – 0.16 for SoG. Both indicators suggest that personal freedom increases as the size of government increases, but the coefficient for SGOV is larger, and it is statistically significant, whereas that for SoG is not. Here are scatter plots for the two measures of the size of government vs. the personal freedom index: As in earlier cases, we should not rely solely on the simple correlation, which is attributable in part to the fact that both the size of government and personal freedom correlate strongly with

GDP per capita. We can get a more accurate picture by using a multiple regression to control for GDP. A regression of PFI on SGOV and the log of GDP per capita shows a correlation of 0.53, with all coefficients significant at the 0.01 level. The slope estimate indicates that on average, a one point decrease in SGOV is (that is, a onepoint movement toward larger government) is, on average, associated with a quarter-point increase in personal freedom. As a further test of the relative statistical power of the two indicators, I ran a multiple regression of PFI on both SGOV and SoG, plus the log of GDP per capita. When both measures of the size of government were included, the relation of SGOV to PFI was positive and statistically significant but SoG had no statistically significant relation to PFI. Finally, I got similar results when I used the EHS measure of prosperity as the independent variable. The correlation coefficient for EHS and SoG is -0.18, indicating a tendency for larger government sectors to be associated with greater prosperity, but the absolute value of the coefficient is too small to be statistically significant. The correlation of EHS with SGOV is -0.48. In this case, the value of the coefficient is statistically significant and the negative sign again indicates a tendency for countries with larger governments to have higher scores for education, health, and personal safety. Here are the scatterplots: As before, we can refine the results from the simple correlations using a multiple regression, controlling for GDP per capita. Doing so shows that SGOV, the ratio of government to GDP, has a negative and statistically significant association with EHS, showing that larger government is associated with higher levels of education, health, and personal safety. However, SoG, Fraser’s size-of-government measure, has no statistically significant association with EHS.

Our statistical investigations lead to two substantive conclusions: First, the data appear to support notion that economic freedom makes a positive contribution to personal freedom and prosperity. That holds true whether we measure prosperity in a narrowly economic sense, as GDP per capita, or in a broader sense, using noneconomic indicators of education, health, and personal safety.Second, the data do not support the notion that a larger government is necessarily detrimental to either freedom or prosperity. On the contrary, countries with larger government sectors tend to have more personal freedom and higher indicators of education, health, and personal safety. These findings suggest that libertarians need to do some further thinking about “Our Enemy, the State,” as Albert Jay Nock expressed it in the title of his Classic books. On a purely technical level, the analysis also suggests that the authors of the Fraser Institute’s economic freedom index need to rethink their size-of-government indicator, which appears to me to have serious methodological flaws that undermine its statistical value. A simpler indicator, based on the ratio of government expenditures to GDP, has significantly greater explanatory power in a variety of circumstances. More broadly, we need think in a more nuanced way about the potential threat that government poses to freedom and prosperity. Size of government alone is an inadequate measure of the threat. The results we have reported do not just hold for a few outliers like France and Sweden that are relatively free and prosperous despite having large governments. Rather, an association of freedom and prosperity with large governments is a general tendency that holds across countries at all levels of income and in all parts of the world.

None of this means that the size of government is unimportant. It suggests, instead, that Fraser’s SoG indicator is not a statistically sound measure of the size of government.
