Amaechi opens up on controversial Nigeria Air Says cabinet’s division stalled process

Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed why the long awaited National Carrier which was launched last year is yet to commence. Speaking at a Valedictory Press briefing in Abuja, he said that the Federal Executive cabinet was yet to agree on the modality for

establishing the national carrier. He noted that while some of the ministers were of the opinion that the Federal Government should invest and then sell the equity later, others were of the opinion that investors should be given the franchise of Nigeria Air from inception. Speaking further, Amaechi debunked the claim that the project has been abandoned as he expressed Continued on page 3

Short News Court remands 140 IPOB members for alleged treason Court hears Ajumogobia’s motion Moses Oyediran, Enugu

An Enugu East Magistrate Court presided over by Magistrate A. N. Chioke has remanded in prison custody 140 members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) over alleged treason. The defendants, who were brought to the court in four buses, are accused of conspiracy to commit treasonable felony punishable under Section 516 (A) of the Criminal Code CAP C38, 2004 as applicable in Enugu state. When the charge was read to the accused persons, they pleaded not guilty, prompting a defence counsel, Osita Abalu to apply for their bail on the grounds that there was no evidence to back up the charge against them. Abalu said that the prosecution has failed to provide probable cause why the defendants should be remanded in court in line with Section 234 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Enugu state, 2017 and therefore, urged the court to exercise its powers under Section

225 to grant bail to the defendants. The defence counsel said that though the offence for which the defendants were charged was punishable with life imprisonment, Section 88 of the law empowers the court to grant bail to the defendants. Based on his submissions, he prayed the court to also release the four buses that was conveying the defendants. Similarly, counsel to the remaining 107 defendants, F.C. Okeke told the court that it was ridiculous for the prosecution to claim that the IPOB members attempted to over-throw the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Okeke said that the defendants were arrested on their way to a burial and wondered how that could translate to over-throwing the government, adding that “President Buhari is in Abuja, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is in Enugu while the defendants were arrested in Nsukka.” He described the charge as trumpedup, meant to deny the defendants their fundamental rights, asserting that the prosecution deliberately brought the

matter to the magistrate court just to punish them. “An accused person cannot be brought to a court when such court has no jurisdiction to entertain the matter just to punish them. That is the essence of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Enugu state. “The law does not want an innocent soul to suffer. The defendants were arrested with no evidence; not even a razor blade. They were going to a burial,” he said and urged the court to grant them bail in the most lenient means. However, prosecution counsel, Paschal Nwachukwu asked the court to discountenance the bail application, saying that the law empowers prosecutors to bring defendants to a magistrate for remand. He said that a court could not grant bail in a matter it had no jurisdiction. In her ruling, Magistrate Chioke declined jurisdiction in the case and remanded the defendants in Enugu Prisons while advising the legal team to the defendants to make their bail application before an appropriate court.

challenging trial May 31 Peter Fowoyo, Lagos

Hearing of a motion brought by the former Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Rita Ofili - Ajumogobia has been fixed by a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. Justice Rilwan Aikawa on Thursday fixed May 31 to hear the motion by the former judge challenging her trial before the court. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged Ofili-Ajumogobia and a senior lawyer, Godwin Obla (SAN) on an 18 –count charge bordering on conspiracy, unlawful enrichment, retention of crime proceeds and money laundering. They were re-arraigned on May 15 and had both pleaded not guilty to all counts of the charge. The court had granted them bail in the sum of N10 million each with two sureties in like sum. At yesterday’s proceedings, Chief Robert Clarke (SAN) announced appearance for the first defendant while Chief Ferdinand Orbih (SAN) appeared for the second defendant. Clarke then informed the court of a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the charge against Ajumogobia, arguing that the first defendant had not being dismissed as a judge of the Federal High Court, since there were no gazette evidencing her said dismissal.

Police arrest 3 suspects over diversion of N23m milk Chioma Joseph, Lagos

Policemen from the Lagos state Command have arrested three suspects for hijacking and diverting a truck-load of powdered milk worth N23 million. The suspects, Adesoji Olarewaju, 43; Sunday Ejirille, 52 and James Oja, 45, were tracked to Abia state where they were arrested and the goods recovered. It was gathered that the driver of the truck, James Oja, had been employed by a logistics company to transport the 30 tons of powdered milk from Lagos to Abuja. Oja had however, connived with Olarewaju and Ejirille to divert the truck to an unknown destination. State Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu received a petition about the matter on May 13 and immediately, ordered a team of policemen to investigate the matter, who subsequently, traced the suspects to Abia state where the truck and goods were recovered. Parading the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja on Thursday, Muazu said that “the notorious criminals who specialized in diverting and stealing company goods were arrested in Abia state and the goods recovered.” Ejirille, who was alleged to be the brain behind the diversion, denied being part of the criminal act, claiming he had only gone to collect his money for the supply of tyres he sold to the other suspects.

Police council confirms Adamu as substantive IG after 4 months I’ll restructure police, IGP pledges

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Police Council made up of the President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, cabinet members and state governors has confirmed the acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu after four months in acting capacity. Adamu promised to restructure the police for efficiency and effectiveness as well as tackling the insecurity challenges confronting the country. The nation has been facing a myriad of security issues ranging from banditry, kidnapping, insurgency, armed robbery and general insecurity. The police inspector general gave the assurance on Tuesday shortly after being confirmed by the Police Council during its meeting presided over by President Buhari at the President Villa, Abuja. Adamu was appointed in acting capacity on January 15, 2019 to succeed Ibrahim Idris, who retired after the mandatory retirement age of 60 years. Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, the the police chief said

he had briefed the council on the security situation in the country and the efforts the police top echelon was making in curtailing the situation. “I was ushered in and I briefed the council on the security situation in the country and the efforts we are putting in place or have put in place to address the security challenges. After the presentation, I was confirmed as the inspector general of police,” he stated. The police boss explained that his confirmation by the Police Council was a huge task to the entire force to put in more energy in helping to address the security situation in the country. He said that “what it means for us is that we have been given a huge task to make sure that we provide security within the country and make the country crime-free, which means that we have re-doubled our efforts. “Whatever strategy we have put in place, we have to look at it and re-strategize day in, day out to make sure that the insecurity in the country goes down to the barest minimum. We have to look at our strategy and re-strategize and also look at our personnel to re-organize the way

our system is structured, identify the right personnel in the right places to have them do the job. “So, it requires re-strategizing for us to be able to dig deep into what is happening in the North West so as to deal with the situation squarely.” Speaking further, Adamu noted that he was sure that the security agencies in the country were capable of dealing with the situation, adding that “what we need to do is just to re-strategize and then face the criminals squarely.” The Police Council is made up of 40 members namely, the President, the state governors, the inspector general and the chairman of the Police Service Commission. The current Chairman of the council, Musiliu Smith also attended the meeting with most of the governors also present. Governors of Cross River state Ben Ayade and that of Ekiti state and Chairmanelect of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Kayode Fayemi who were joined by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina said that all council members were unanimous that Adamu in acting capacity performed creditably and deserved confirmation.

The federal government is poised to hold a stakeholders meeting that will brainstorm on proposals forwarded by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) aimed at articulating strategies that will create 15 million jobs. The meeting which will take place in Abuja on May 27 will be chaired by the Minister of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah. The move is however, apt as federal government will be responding to the rising unemployment rate in the country our correspondent reports. In a statement signed by the funds Head of Public Affairs, Suleyol Fred Chagu, the ITF stated that the one-day event is expected to attract participants from over 60 public and private sector organizations, who will consider a report by the ITF on job creation strategies produced by the fund at the instance of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment. “The report which focuses on four sectors of the economy namely, agriculture, construction, transport and the service sectors are deemed to have the greatest potential for job creation projection that about “15 million direct and indirect jobs will be created if the ITF proposals are fully implemented,” the statement said. However, highlights of the report indicate that in the area of agriculture, which is the major pre-occupation of Nigerians and a key focus of the Next Level agenda of the federal government, a significant number of direct and indirect jobs will be created along the agricultural value chain through the implementation of the following programmes, “the Vegetable Value Vantage (TRIPLE V), Livestock Production (LIPRO) and Women Driven Agricultural Mechanization Programme (WODAMP).

S’Court strikes out appeal over Ogiamien of Benin kingdom title Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Supreme Court on Thursday struck out an appeal lodged before it by Chief Rich Arisco Osemwengie and others over the traditional title of Ogiamien of Benin kingdom. But, the appellant and his counsel, Godwin Oaikhena said the appeal will be reinstated after rectifying an obvious error that warranted its withdrawal. Presiding justice of a panel of the apex court and acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad struck out the appeal after the appellant’s counsel withdrew the appeal. According to the Supreme Court, the appeal was incompetent as it was erroneously addressed to the Court of Appeal. They then asked the appellant’s counsel what he intends to do with it. The counsel Oaikhena explained that it was a typographical error and orally applied to withdraw the appeal. Respondents counsel, Austen Alegeh (SAN) even though he did not oppose the move, however, asked the apex to dismiss the appeal. In his brief ruling, Justice Muhammad said that the appellant’s counsel had already withdrawn the appeal, so it cannot be dismissed, but struck out. Consequently, the apex court struck out the appeal with a cost of N150, 000. Chief Osemwengie and benefactors of the Ogiamien title are challenging the validity of the Traditional Rulers and Chieftaincy Edict of 1979 which recognised the Ogiamien title in the Benin Kingdom as a mere palace chief at the instance of the Oba of Benin.

The hemp in Aketi’s pocket at Kalokalo graveyard

Louis Odion

Though bound by geography, they yet present two contrasting morality tales. The increasingly animated talk today of Indian hemp being refined into a legitimate business in Ondo and the fierce denunciation of pool-betting elsewhere in Bauchi surely depict, in some way, the stark contradictions of Nigeria’s federalism and her moral universe. Moralists opposed to cannabis will, for instance, cite its pungent smell and swirl of smoke as offensive to their normative nostrils, but are yet unable to back such disposition up with a portion of any holy books classifiying the vegetable the devil’s creation and not God’s. If only such individuals knew hemp extracts constitute the active ingredient of most of the hair products used by ladies, perhaps they would be less dismissive. On the other hand, those fiercely crusading against “Kalokalo” (the local generic name for pool-betting and other casino ventures) in their locality on the basis of faith are, however, never shy to gorge on a share of taxes harvested on it from other provinces. Thanks to Omoyele Sowore, anyway, for the new interest in marijuana (a.k.a. ganja, Igbo or “wee wee”) for medical and industrial use in Nigeria. He kindled the conversation while on the hustings leading to the last presidential polls. Consistent with his advocacy for fresh idea or “disruptive thinking”, the Sahara Reporters publisher contended that the global hemp industry is now too big and lucrative for nations like Nigeria with comparative cultivation advantage not to shed their prudish pretences and get involved. With states like California in United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Argentina, not surprising Jamaica (Bob Marley’s roots) and even South Africa already legalizing the weed, the bourgenoning global hemp market is already valued at hundreds of billions of US dollars. Advance in technology means its use is no longer for mere recreation but also curative medicine and as a more durable alternative to cotton for the textile industry. The flagbearer of African Action Congress said that his native Ondo State – Ogbese area

and Ilu-Abo (where Chief Olu Falae hails from) specifically – grows the finest weeds which can position Nigeria’s export as the preferred choice in the international market; the same way Nigeria’s oil is fondly called “sweet crude” by industrial consumers in the west. One account already estimates Ondo’s hemp industry to be worth N65b. Before proceeding, some quick clarification might be necesssary at this point. To erase any possible suspicion of a conflict of interest, let me declare upfront that my aversion to even cigarette is obsessive, let alone the wilder mutation – weeds. (I hope Pastor Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock gets to read this.) One is so persuaded to follow the footsteps of popular writer and THISDAY columnist, Segun Adeniyi, who, before making a case also for medical marijuana earlier, came close to swearing to be a non-smoker. A preemptive salvo, no doubt, against those who might be tempted to ask Daddy Enoch Adeboye when the Redeemed Church lost Segun to the hemp devotees in the “Jah Rastafari” fraternity. Now, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu (a.k.a. Aketi) would appear to have picked the gauntlet from Sowore. But coming in the twilight of his first tenure and on the eve of a re-election bid, many are bound to question his real motives, particularly given his profession as not just a lawyer but a senior advocate at that, and the fact that Igbo remains “evil” in the eyes of the law of the land. Some are even likely to see it as a political gimmick for votes. Could he possibly be in possession of classified reports indicating hemp farmers now constitute such a large demographics in Ondo to be ignored in the approaching elections? If so, it follows that those aspiring to become the next billionaires from “ewe ola” (the fortune herb, according highlife musician Orlando Owoh) are likely to stake their votes on him. Aketi’s epiphany apparently dawned in Thailand. Fresh from a workshop in Bangkok on Medicinal Cannabis Extract Development, the Ondo governor has lent state support by proposing the cultivation of cannabis for medical use under strict supervision of the Nigerian Drug

Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). He believes its economic benefits will be exponential for his state currently among those listed as non-viable without the monthly allocation from Abuja. Apart from helping to lure the idle youths back to farming. The trick worked in Ghana. A study conducted in the Volta region sometimes ago revealed increasing urban-to-rural drift by youths moving farther into the forest to cultivate large acres of the herb. In fact, many of the existing farmers were said to be abandoning growing food crops to diversify into the cultivation of Indian hemp to feed an humongous national appetite which saw Ghana being ranked by a United Nations report in 2014 as the world’s biggest consumer with more than ten percent of the population hooked. (A distinction it only lost recently to become the third.) It is, however, doubtful if Aketi’s boast that the variant grown in Ondo is finest will go unchallenged by claimants in Kwale (Delta) or Edo who have always insisted that theirs is the “konkest” (most potent). In street parlance, it is graded into three categories according to value: “Marri” is low-quality, “polli” is medium-grade and “riger” is the top-notch. Overall, with the passion now being invested in this hemp advocacy by Aketi, once memorably caricatured by then Governor Olusegun Mimiko in 2012 as “Baba oni irugbon yuketuke” (the old man with grubby beard), it would completely be out of character if the usually genial folks back in Ondo don’t begin to address him henceforth as the “Ganja Gomina” (gomina is Yoruba corruption of governor). However, even before the first seed ever would be planted in the proposed Ondo hemp plantation, retired General Buba Marwa (rtd) already seems to have his gunsights trained on the state governor. In a strong-worded statement at the weekend, the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Elimination of Drug Abuse (PACEDA) led by the retired Brigadier-General warned that the venture would likely worsen the nation’s opioid crisis with the national population of spliff addicts already put at 10m. (By the way, nothing in the dope test

already being advocated by Marwa as countermeasure suggests the exclusion of top public officers like Aketi himself.) While PACEDA’s concern is undoubtedly germane against the backcloth of public mental health, that, in my view, is hardly a sufficient basis to close the debate. To be sure, no one disputes the notion that the use and abuse of the psychoactive substance paves the way and hastens the traffic to “Yaba Left” (as Yaba Psychiatric Hospital in Lagos is often sardonically called). But the case for medical marijuana is just as compelling. For states wishing to explore the economic opportunities, what should, therefore, not be compromised by the regulatory authorities is a tight framework for its operations and export in line with international best practices. While those being targeted would appear the big-time promoters of pool-betting (once pithily eulogized as the poor man’s stock market by octogenrian Adebutu Kessington, undisputably the industry’s doyen till date), the act was, however, silent on those who also stake valuables over the throw of a dice or card games at streetcorners or the often delirious fans of European football league betting daily over which team wins a match usually transmitted live by cable television at public “view centres”. To be sure, the Bauchi lawmakers can hardly be faulted in their self-assigned job to inculcate positive values in the children and the youths. But it bears stating that a stronger message would have been framed had they also endeavored to ensure the act forbids Bauchi state government from accepting through the monthly federal allocation receipts of any kind from taxes imposed on those operating any such casino business elsewhere in the country. That is only when their moral argument against gambling won’t sound hypocritical indeed. For now, the Bauchi proposal is a reminder of the other paradox of those feverishly hounding drivers of beer trailers from their highways on the basis of faith but yet are unable to resist the temptation of pocketing generous share of VAT imposed on breweries operating in other jurisdictions.

Leah Sharibu’s ordeal

Dele Agekameh

Last week Tuesday, Leah Sharibu, the only remaining captive of the 110 girls abducted in February 2018, from their school in Dapchi, Yobe State, turned 16 years old. It was with tears that her family marked her 15th birthday last May, after their Christian daughter’s courageous stand against members of the Islamic State in the West African Province (ISWAP), an offshoot of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents. Leah refused to convert to Islam, even after her Muslim schoolmates were released, following some negotiations with the Nigerian government. One year after, Leah and her family find themselves in the same position as during her last birthday. But this time, there is even more concern about the commitment of the government towards her release from captivity. Since the kidnap of about 276 girls from their school in Chibok, Borno State, in 2014, there has been increasing awareness of the activities of the insurgents in the North-East. The global effort to secure the release of those girls saw the leaders of powerful countries like the United States, United Kingdom, France and many others, lend their voice to the campaign. It is thought that the pressure and support of world leaders, and the exceptional commitment of members of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) coalition, moved the government to negotiate the release of some of the kidnapped Chibok girls in May 2017. The whereabouts of about 112 of the Chibok girls are still unknown to the public, more than 1,500 days after their abduction. Similar pressure led to the release of the Dapchi girls (and one boy) in March last year. All except Leah. Moved by concern for the plight of the teenager, Nigerians and people around the world have not let up on their pressure on the government to secure her release. Last Tuesday, on the occasion of her 16th birthday, there were demonstrations in Lagos, Abuja, Adamawa and other Nigerian states. Organised demonstrations took place in the U.S. and in London, U.K., including one involving David

Linden, the member of parliament, MP, for Glasgow, who shares the same birthday with Leah. Protests and demonstrations had earlier been organised on the one-year anniversary of her abduction in February. The success of the negotiations in some of the past cases makes government failure in Leah’s case exceptionally heartbreaking, especially for her family. Added to that, the popularity she has now acquired through her defiance may have also made her case exceptional in the eyes of her captors. ISWAP had issued a final ultimatum for her life in September 2018. However, even though two aid workers also abducted by the group were executed that month, Leah was spared, and declared a lifetime slave to the group, alongside Alice Loksha Ngaddah, another aid worker. The government, on its part, continues to give assurances to Nigerians and Leah’s family that all will be done to secure her release. The reassurances may not be enough, since the group holding Leah are known, and there are channels of negotiations between the government and the group. Nigerians cannot imagine why there has been no breakthrough in whatever efforts are being made to secure Leah’s release. Nobody wants to see the teenage girl mark a third birthday in captivity. Leah’s case is a national tragedy, and it has become a focal point for religious bodies of the Christian faith, including the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). Because of the circumstances of this case, if the government cannot find a way out for Leah soon, her continued captivity may encourage divisive comments, which may have already begun to be expressed. As we hope for Leah’s freedom, we watch on the news the display of true dedication and commitment to the welfare of citizens by other countries. Two weeks ago, a French rescue operation was launched in Burkina Faso, to free two French tourists who had been kidnapped by an Al-Qaeda linked group

in the West African country. The operation was successful, but at the cost of the lives of two of the French soldiers who took part in the operation. An extra two captives, one American and one South Korean, were also freed. Although the West has always drummed the “no negotiation with terrorists” mantra, it is suspected, and has been confirmed in some cases, that this was done in the past. In the case of the French tourists in Burkina Faso, intelligence gathering enabled the French commandos to track the kidnappers for some days before the operation was approved. The hostages were held for only about seven days. Therefore, our response to the attacks and kidnappings in Nigeria needs to be timely. The more days Leah spends in captivity, the harder it becomes to secure her freedom. The lesson in the French rescue is the commitment to do everything necessary to secure the release of the hostages. If the French authorities had waited for ransom to be demanded and paid, there was a risk that executions may have happened first, to make a statement. And it could have endangered French people around the world, who would become a money-making business in the eyes of terrorists. Whether or not the Nigerian government paid ransom for the release of some of the girls who were freed from captivity in the past couple of years, there is a greater duty to deter the act outrightly. We should not create a kidnapping business for terrorists within Nigeria’s borders through financial and other concessions to terrorists. It is worse when the terrorists pick and choose who to release, and under what conditions, as in Leah’s case. Again, one must return to the question of political will. In the history of this country, the will to effect an outcome has been displayed in the past, even where the country did not have the expertise and training to handle the operation on its own. One recalls the case of Umaru Dikko, a government official

who went on exile after the military coup of 1983. Nigeria acquired the services of Israeli Mossad operatives to force Dikko back to the country. He was ‘tagged and bagged’ (labelled “diplomatic baggage” in a sealed crate) and about to be loaded onto a plane before the British customs foiled the operation at the airport. Co-incidentally, the head of state at the time is now president today. He has a reputation for the dogged pursuit of objectives he is committed to. All Nigerians now ask is for a display of the same level of commitment the president showed in the past to be applied to the matter of Leah’s freedom. The success will go beyond securing a young Nigerian girl’s release, which should be enough inspiration. It will also be a statement of intent by the government to put a stop to any form of profiteering with the lives of Nigerians. As the country continues to keep vigil for Leah, we all must ensure that the focus on her freedom remains paramount, without letting ethnic and religious sentiments move the discourse in other areas that may trigger divisive utterances and actions. No matter what happens, Leah Sharibu has already conquered her captors in the eyes of the world, and this should give the Nigerian government the impetus to conquer the hate and division that her captors wish to spread in their campaign of death and destruction. It can begin with securing Leah’s freedom. This column joins Nigerians of all faiths in prayers for the safe return of Leah to her family. The smallest and youngest in our midst are capable of great feats and inspiring great causes. Malala Yousafzai is a leading example in this regard, and her story is not so far off from the one now building around Leah. Little David in the Bible achieved his victory against Goliath with a small pebble. These girls have done so with a little belief and courage. Like David, their lives have already become an inspiration. May the God that emancipated Malala deliver Leah back to us.

Editorial Commentary

Wike, the GOC and Oil Bunkering

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

Comparison between public conduct elsewhere and what obtains in Nigeria can sometimes be awkward, especially because it can be mistaken to suggest that we can’t be up to any good. That’s not only incorrect, such moral equivalence is unfair to millions of Nigerians who are doing their damn best in their quiet spaces. But two stories last week reported within twentyfour hours of each other were too striking to escape comparison. The first was a story about Commodore Nick CookePriest, captain of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the iconic aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy. Cooke-Priest was removed from his command for an offence that you’ll have to read the story twice to believe, if you’re - well - a Nigerian. The poor captain who was appointed to his prestigious job in October had formed the habit of using his official car for personal trips. The frequency or nature of the personal trips was not disclosed; but if he were a Nigerian officer, for example, the trips might have included but certainly not limited to things like, school runs, market runs for Madam, and nocturnal visits to his girlfriends, not to mention occasional second-degree unauthorized use by the officer’s driver for “kabukabu”. But nothing was said about the nature of CookePriest’s visits. What was reported was that the captain, after nearly 30 years of sterling service, was removed last week and promptly reassigned, “following reports that he misused an official car for personal trips.” The report, quoting a source in the Royal Navy, continued, “While the offence may appear relatively minor, it was felt that his position had become untenable and that the commanding officer must be beyond reproach.” I was tempted to laugh in Ikwerre a day later when I read the other story from Port Harcourt, Rivers State. It was not really a story. It was the video of Governor Nyesom Wike receiving members of the Joint Task Force Operation, Delta Safe, who came on courtesy to the Government House. Wike told the leader of the Force, Rear Admiral Akinjide Akinrinade, and his delegation that the General Officer Commanding the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Jamil Sarhem, was not just a security threat, but that he was also businessman, a bunkering kingpin, in army uniform desperate for cash to fund his ambition to become the next Army chief. He accused Sarhem of routinely leaking security reports and wondered what his visitor, the JTF commander, would do if his men came across bunkering squads backed by the GOC. Of course, it might appear incongruous to compare Cooke-Priest’s case of misuse of official car with the allegations of leaking and bunkering levelled against Sarhem, for at least two reasons: one, the facts of the former’s case have been established and action taken against him on that basis, whereas the allegations against Sarhem have been denied and remain only that – mere allegations. Two, the back story in Sarhem’s case – his spectacular fallout with Wike before the governorship election – could suggest that the governor might just be out for his pound of flesh. Now, this is exactly the sort of equivocation which partly explains why Nigeria has passed being a joke, and why serious countries, tired of making us a laughing stock, simply ignore us. We cannot keep making excuses for – in fact keep expecting – lower standards of performance from public officers and hope to be taken seriously. Whatever Wike’s motive for making those serious allegations, the Army is not helping itself or the accused officer by attempting to sweep the matter under the carpet of politics, or by simply saying as its spokesperson in Port Harcourt did, that Wike must first show proof. The Army must first show that it understands the

seriousness of the allegations. If the governor said on public television that the GOC routinely leaks security information and is involved in oil bunkering – which is a serious economic crime – the Army cannot, and should not, simply let the matter slide. The startled and embarrassed looks on the faces of the JTF commander and his delegation as Wike spoke last week only told part of the story. The potential damage to the Army’s reputation from silence or a muffled, dismissive response, will, of course, be far more difficult to gauge. But if nothing is done, as may well be the case, the impact would be corrosive. Six years ago, the Financial Times reported that pipeline oil theft from well heads and bunkering in the Niger Delta was costing the country about $1billion monthly. Such thefts, which led the Jonathan administration to sideline the military and instead, paid militants to guard pipelines, had led to a 17 per cent drop in oil sales or the loss of 400,000 barrels per day. The FT report quoted former presidential adviser, Patrick Dele Cole, as saying, “It’s not only the loss to the treasury that is worrying him and others, but the way bunkering is infecting government at all levels, with senior military and political figures staking out a leading role.” The tale of oil bunkering in the Niger Delta is a fascinating one. Criminal gangs and small-time peddlers pirated the bunkering franchise from the oil companies. As the illegality grew and became a serious economic threat, the military was deployed. At first, they acted they in the service of the country, but over time, they have become embroiled in the money and politics of the region, making them hardly distinguishable from the gangs and politicians they are supposed to contain. Wike has only added flesh to the dry bones in Cole’s statement. The Army could have genuine reasons to dislike Wike’s politics or resent being entangled by the governor’s rough and tumble style. His zero-sum, streetfighter approach and huge ego will hardly endear him to anyone one who believes in process and propriety. If he was your rational kind of guy he would not wait for the JTF’s courtesy visit and public TV cameras to report a serious security breach to an officer who is apparently of the same rank with the accused. Wike just can’t get over drama and sensationalism. But that does not justify throwing out the baby with the bath water. Wike’s statement was not for the benefit of the visiting JTF commander. It was to get the attention of Rotimi Amaechi, his political rival in Abuja; the Army chief, and through them, President Muhammadu Buhari. Whatever the governor’s motive, however, the statement is serious enough for the Army to empanel an investigation. If six years ago, Cole (an Abonnema man) fingered top military brass and politicians in oil bunkering and now the governor, an Ikwerre man, is naming names, it has become a matter that demands no less attention than that given by the Royal Navy to Cooke-Priest’s misuse of his official car. It’s not about Wike or his tantrums. It’s about the integrity of the Army, the reputation of the officer accused, and the unfortunate impression that you have to rob your way to the post of Army chief. The only thing worse than what Wike said is any attempt by the Army to gloss over it. It should immediately empanel an investigation and invite Wike, the accuser, to assist the Army to get to the bottom of the matter in the interest of the Force, the GOC and the longsuffering people of the Niger Delta, whose backyard has become the playground of wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing. We don’t need any lessons from the unfortunate episode of Cooke-Priest and his official car to do the right thing. The GOC should be beyond reproach and we don’t need the Royal Navy to tell us that.

OUR POSITION Tackling the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria The devastating consequences of drug use know no geographic, economic, social, or ethnic boundaries. Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the globe – rich, poor, educated, illiterate, male, female, and even young children die from drug abuse, and millions more are victims of addiction and drug-fueled violence. Beyond the toll drugs take on health and welfare, substance use disorders undermine economic development, diminishes social and political stability, and reduces security in countries and regions around the world. It is no longer news that 70% of youth in Nigeria today get themselves involved in one form of drug abuse or the other. Amidst the widespread commendations over the ban of codeine by the Federal Government, a new large-scale nationwide survey has revealed that drug use by people within the ages of 15 and 64 years in Nigeria is on the rise. survey on drug use in Nigeria last year had revealed that the nation is breeding a wild generation of drug addicts. This gory state of affairs of substance abuse calls for the declaration of a state of emergency, considering the fact that the youth population is the fulcrum of national development. The nationwide survey by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) funded by European Union (EU) in partnership with the Federal Government said 10.6 million Nigerians abused cannabis in 2018, while 4.6 million abused opiods. The report said that 2.4 million youths and adults also abused cough syrups with 92,000 more using cocaine. Other drugs commonly abused during the period are tranquilizers and sedatives, solvent, inhalers, amphetamines and prescription stimulants. This survey also reports that one of four drug users in Nigeria is a woman. Adding that the extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high compared to previous global annual prevalence of any drug abuse use. Basically, youths in the country inhale, inject and consume psychotic and narcotic substances and drugs at will, easily evading the scrutiny of a society distracted by economic malaise at the expense of their future wellbeing. Truth be told, the impact of drug abuse is lethal. Many families are contending with drug addicts; some of them have quit schooling and work; others are on the verge of lunacy or battling with acute diseases.

The number of drug users in Nigeria is estimated at 14.4 per cent or 14.3 million people aged between 15 and 64 years according to the results of the National Drug Use Survey. The data suggests that the prevalence of past year drug use in Nigeria is more than twice the global average of 5.6 per cent. The extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high when compared with the 2016 global annual prevalence of any drug use of 5.6 per cent among the adult population. There is a gap in meeting the needs for treatment and care for people with drug use disorders. With close to three million Nigerians living with some level of drug dependence, the extremely limited availability of drug counselling and treatment services exacerbates this health crisis. This is indeed striking and alarming and calls for concerted efforts to mitigate the negative consequences of this rising menace on the health, socio-economic and security of our nation. Even though the Federal Government has over the years responded boldly to this global challenge with innovative, standard-setting drug demand reduction programs, we are of the opinion that there is need to solve the problem. Awareness programmes need to be developed to address the perception of stigma among the youth and their families over substance use and to remove barriers towards seeking care for these problems. These programmes should also address the inability of the youth to perceive addictive behaviours as a health risk. Parents and support persons’ involvement and engagement in youth programmes should be strengthened further as it improves communication and better decision-making for youth health issues. Family-based prevention programmes emphasising parenting skills, training or improving family functioning, communication and family rules regarding substance abuse needs to be introduced. Also, teachers are a major source of information to young people. Hence, strengthening the role and performance of educational institutions, ensuring availability of counselling services, gender sensitivity issues, making life skills courses a part of curriculum are required for health and welfare of young people. Most importantly, in all youth related programmes, young people should be involved and engaged to empower them to take informed decisions.

Wike moves to tackle insecurity in Ogoniland Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared that his administration was working with security agencies to tackle rising insecurity and cultism in Ogoniland. Addressing Ogoni political leaders, traditional rulers and youth groups on Thursday at the Government House Port Harcourt, Gov. Wike said the government was deploying all necessary machinery to restore peace in the troubled area. He said: “All of the persons involved in cultism are known by the community leaders. We are coming after them to restore peace to Ogoni communities. “This time, no effort will be spared. Attention is on the Ogoni area to check the rising insecurity. All through yesterday, the state security council met and resolved on the best way to tackle the cultists,” he said. The governor charged community leaders to also work out modalities to tackle cultism, saying that the

state government would give them support to achieve the desired results. He warned against the illegal removal of government recognised chiefs by unauthorised persons, emphasizing that such illegal action could lead to conflicts that degenerate into insecurity and regretted the situation in Eleme where a traditional ruler was illegally removed by some unauthorised persons. According to him, the state government was taking measures to reach out to traditional rulers who were not recognised by government, so that they can contribute to the promotion of security in their respective communities. The governor however, noted that part of the problem in Ogoniland was the planned resumption of oil production. He said that he had received a letter from the national security adviser on the commencement of production at OML 11. He added that going forward the state government and Ogoni people should be carried along on the OML 11 issue, saying that dialogue

would yield better results. He said: “I have told the federal government that they cannot use force in doing everything. We need to sit down and resolve issues. As a government, we are losing revenue no doubt, but the people must be involved so that everyone is part of what is happening. “I will not support anything that will make Ogoni people not to benefit from their resources. I will not do anything to betray the people who have given me their mandate. I will never do that.” Rivers state Commissioner of Police, Usman Belel, urged the people to support the security agencies to fight insecurity. He called for confidential information to help the security agencies track down cultists in the area. The police boss said that cultism was not a way of life, but a criminal action that would be checked by security agencies. Chairman of the Supreme Ogoni Council of Chiefs, King Godwin Giniwa, assured the governor that Ogoni people would support his drive to promote peace and security in the area.

Short News N’Assembly approves park N pay in FCT Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Motorists in the nation’s capital, Abuja and environs may have to pay parking fees for public spaces as the National Assembly has approved the re-introduction of the park and pay policy of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA). This followed the passage of a bill seeking the establishment of the Road Traffic and Motor Vehicle Administration Agency similar to the Lagos state Transport Management Agency (LATSMA) on Thursday by the Senate in concurrence with the House of Representatives. If assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari, the agency will among others, review the parking fees and enforce the parking laws in the FCT and bring back the parking system which became controversial and was stopped by a court proclamation five years ago. The new bill empowers the FCT administration in collaboration with the FCT Internal Revenue Service to embark on the overall enforcement of parking rules and saddled the proposed agency with the responsibilities of producing and administering vehicle and drivers’ licences in collaboration with relevant federal agencies. The bill specified functions of the agency to include, regulating road traffic management and motor vehicle administration within the FCT, regulating, registering, revoking licenses and the renewing motor vehicle documents and issuance of vehicle identification number plates in the FCT. It will also conduct road worthiness tests and issue road worthiness certificates to all categories of vehicles for the purposes of ridding the FCT of non-roadworthy vehicles. Also, the agency would be responsible for the training and testing of potential drivers to ensure competence for the issuance of drivers licence in the FCT, regulate and enforce the use of bus stops and bus terminals and the activities of commercial motor vehicles in the FCT, register and enforce and accredit driving schools, and enforce the ban on the use of motorcycles as a means of public transport in the FCT. The bill mandates officers of the new agency to arrest and book any person who commits traffic offences like wrong overtaking, traffic light violation and driving with expired documents or without a drivers’ licence.

Atiku raises alarm over organized Short News Group issues 7-day ultimatum to smear campaign Tunde Opalana, Abuja Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has raised an alert that plans are afoot by unscrupulous and anti-democratic elements to contrive skirmishes in the coming weeks aimed at smearing his personality. Media Adviser to the former Vice President, Paul Ibe in a press statement on Thursday said that it was becoming revealing the grand plot being orchestrated by some agents of evil to stage-manage pockets of upsets targeted at attacking the reputation of Atiku. The statement stated that Atiku was blowing the whistle now as an early warning alert of the grandiose scheme being put together by some unscrupulous elements aimed at jeopardizing

his reputation in the coming days and weeks. “By the merit of what is beginning to unfold, there are plans to create some upsets across the country whereby alleged perpetrators of such crimes will engage in phantom name dropping of Atiku Abubakar and some senior personalities in the Peoples Democratic Party. “Already, we are abreast of some other plans to plant fictitious stories in some mushroom media outlets aimed at discrediting Atiku and his political party, the PDP. “It therefore, becomes preponderant that we alert the public of this demonic plan and to say that it will be imprudent to compromise the peace and security of Nigerians in order to score a cheap political goal. “Towards this end, and for the umpteenth time, we call on

the federal government to be awake to its responsibilities of providing security and ensuring peace, and to desist from actions and utterances that are capable of exposing our fault lines. “It is very unsettling that senior administration officials, especially those who are the mouth piece of government will make reckless, but calculated comments to tarnish the image of Atiku Abubakar and government will sit idly on it. “With the conclusion reached by Premium Times’ investigative reporting that there is no evidentiary prove to back the claim by Lai Mohammed that the opposition was planning to upstage the government, we demand that the information minister should be arrested for raising false alarm and an apology rendered to Atiku Abubakar and the PDP,” the statement added.

Obaseki to re-open hospital Titus Akhigbe, Benin

A civil society organisation known as Talakawa Parliament on Thursday gave Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state a 7- day ultimatum to re-open the state-owned Central Hospital built by his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole and commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016. The group also called on the governor to re-open state-owned tertiary institutions shut by his government. Addressing journalists in Benin City, Leader of the Talakawa Parliament, Kola Edokpayi said with the huge amount appropriated for the Central Hospital under the previous administration, he cannot distance himself from the hospital project. “In 2014, Edo state government appropriated the sum of N1.6 billion for the project. In 2015, another N3.5 billion was also appropriated. In 2016, another N5.1 billion was also appropriated. “When Governor Obaseki took over from Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, five days after the hospital was commissioned, he appropriated another N500 million in the 2017 budget for the same hospital that he has refused to open despite the fact that government is a continuous process. “We expect Godwin Obaseki to consolidate the projects executed by his predecessor putting into perspective that he was the head of the economic and strategic team during the tenure of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. There is no way Gov. Obaseki can distance himself from the five- star hospital,” Edokpayi added.

Lagos debunks polio vaccination sabotage allegation WHO appoints 4 new global health Benjamin Omoike, Lagos The Lagos state Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB) has disclaimed news reports alleging that a non-governmentalorganisation is going round schools in the state to undermine the just concluded oral vaccination campaign and administering vaccines believed to be harmful to children. A statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Lagos state Primary Healthcare Board, Dr. Tayo Lawal, described the media reports as false, untenable and a misrepresentation of the position of the government on the successful implementation of the oral polio vaccination campaign held from May 18 - 22. According to the release, the just concluded vaccination campaign against polio was conducted by the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), the state ministry of health, state primary health care board in partnership with the World

Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), CDC-AFENET and Rotary International. Dr. Lawal stated that the administering of oral polio vaccines was the sole responsibility of health workers trained to conduct the exercise and that no non-governmentalorganisation was directly involved in the administration of the vaccines on children as reported in the media. “As a state, we laud the contributions of these development and supporting partners as well as non-governmentalorganisations that have over time, through their various volunteering efforts helped to maintain a polio-free status for the state and have continued to intensify advocacy and awareness against the childhood killer disease by putting vast resources into this noble cause,” he said. While restating government’s commitment to continue working with well-meaning organisations, development partners and non-governmental-

organisations to finally kick out polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases from the state and Nigeria at large, Lawal assured that another round of polio vaccination campaign will hold in June and July with the support of the implementing partners. He emphasised that the polio vaccine being administered is free, safe and effective for protection of children, assuring that the administration of the vaccine is neither hazardous nor dangerous to human beings as being falsely propagated. “In fact, the WHO recommends that all children below the age of five years get this vaccine for protection against polio,” the statement affirmed. Dr. Lawal urged all stakeholders, including parents, political and religious leaders, civil society organisations and administrators of schools to ensure that children under five years are immunised during the forthcoming polio eradication campaign to reduce the risk of death and disability from vaccinepreventable diseases such as polio.

WHO rehabilitates 23 health facilities Short News Group throws weight behind Rep. in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

As part of efforts at strengthening the healthcare system in the NorthEast, the World Health Organization (WHO) is rehabilitating 23 selected health facilities in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. According to the WHO, the development which will enhance healthcare service delivery in the region would benefit up to 150,000 people in the affected states and will be done with funded with support from the European Union and Global Affairs Canada. In a statement made available to journalists, the WHO Officer in Charge, Dr. Clement Peter said that strengthening the healthcare system was a top priority of WHO’s health emergency response in the North East geo-political zone. He said that “WHO is embarking on building the capacity of human resource for health, structural rehabilitation and provision of equipment to strengthen healthcare

delivery in the north-east Nigeria where insurgency had devastated services for a decade. “Out of the 23 health facilities to be rehabilitated, nine will undergo comprehensive structural renovation; four primary healthcare facilities in Yobe, four in Adamawa and one secondary healthcare facility in Borno. This entails structural rehabilitation and renovation of the health, sanitary facilities and provision of equipment, drugs and medical supplies.” The WHO Emergency Manager in the North-East, Dr. Collins Owili revealed that most of the health facilities in the listed states were either partially destroyed by insurgents or over-stretched as a result of population displacements in the region. “In Yobe state, for example, the Kukar Gadu Primary Health Centre, hitherto, had the capacity to provide healthcare services for more than 11, 000 persons, but due to recent population displacement, the facility had to cater for more than 21, 000 persons, including internally

displaced persons currently living in Kukar Gadu community,” said Dr. Owili. He added that after the implementation of the WHO intervention, the capacity of the Kukar Gadu centre will be increased enabling more than 20, 000 persons to have access to adequate medical treatment. “The rehabilitated health facilities will contribute to providing comprehensive care for children’s health, reproductive health and treatment of severe and moderately acute malnutrition cases in addition to vaccination. “Through this rehabilitation initiative, WHO will enable people in need in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states to have access to good healthcare services. “We are grateful to WHO, the European Union and Global Affairs Canada for their contributions to improving access to healthcare services for our communities” said Yusuf Abdulahi, Officer-in-charge of the health facility.

A group of women under the aegis of Coalition of Eastern Social-Cultural Groups, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter on Thursday threw its weight behind the candidature of Rep. Nkiruka Onyejeocha as speaker of the 9th House of Representatives.

The group which staged a rally to press home this position in Abuja, also called on lawmakers to give a woman the opportunity of leading the House as speaker as men have occupied the position for too long. Leader of the group, Mrs. Fidel Orji, who led the women for the rally at the main gate of the National Assembly, also addressed journalists calling on lawmakers to vote Onyejeocha for the position of speaker. The women carried placards and chanted songs in support of Onyejeocha’s speakership aspiration.

Recession looms again, Emefiele warns Titus Akhigbe, Benin Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has expressed worries that the country might slide back to recession if measures are not taken to tackle the high rate of unemployment. He expressed this view while delivering a lecture titled: “Beyond the global financial crisis: Monetary policy under global uncertainty” at the University of Benin. Emefiele said the country has made progress in the year under review, but more efforts must be made to reduce the country’s unemployment rate. “From some of my concluding remarks, you may have observed whether you like it or not, there is global uncertainty that will unfortunately most certainly lead to another crisis. “The question should be how we as Nigerians, particularly our leaders, I am talking of monetary and fiscal policy authorities, how are we preparing our country for the next set of crisis? “We have luckily exited recession; we have seen recession pending downward to about 18.72 per cent in 2017 to about 11. 37 per cent today. “We have seen reserve moving up, but unfortunately, we still have issues and those issues bother around unemployment rate and those issues bother around how we prepare our country,” Emefiele stated.

Indigenous contractors in Edo laud Obaseki over projects Titus Akhigbe, Benin Indigenous contractors in Edo state have pledged their unalloyed support to the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration for engaging local and indigenous contractors in the execution of all developmental projects in the state. This is coming against the background of insinuations from some quarters that the Obaseki administration has engaged more contractors from Lagos and Abuja to carry out developmental projects across the state. Spokesman of the Indigenous Contractors in Edo state, Otunba Ahmed Ehi, said it has become imperative for indigenous contractors in the state to put to rest most of the issues and misconceptions about the present administration awarding all the jobs including ongoing construction jobs to contractors outside Edo state. Ehi said for the avoidance of doubt that the state government is determined to improve the economy of the state by engaging only local contractors. “Governor Obaseki has opened a gateway for indigenous contractors to participate in his development agenda by awarding all the jobs in the state to contractors based and in the state.

NCAT hosts 1500 guests on its maiden open day Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Rector of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, Capt. Abdulsalami Muhammed, has said that the management expects at least 1,500 guests for its maiden Open Day programme slated for Monday next week at the college. Muhammed also said that the essence of the programme was to sensitise the public on the activities of the college, saying that several students were ignorant of the opportunities that were abound in the sector. The programme tagged: ‘Understanding What We Do Here,’ the college said would further attracts potential aviation professionals to its activities.

A statement personally signed by the rector and made available to aviation correspondents in Lagos, stated that the programme was opened to all students across the country, including undergraduates from higher institutions of learning. Besides, he emphasised that parents and aviation enthusiasts all over the country were also being expected for the programme, stressing that apart from piloting, NCAT also does training for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs), engineers and cabin crew among others. He said: We actually want the world to know about NCAT and its activities. We are the foremost aviation college in this country and indeed on the continent, but unfortunately, some people especially parents and students are still ignorant of the several courses we offer in this institution.

“To many, NCAT is all about piloting and nothing else, but we have to create awareness and let them know that we do more than piloting. There are many potential aviation professionals out there that don’t know much about out activities. We hope to change that orientation with the Open Day that will take place on Monday May 27, 2019 at the college.” It would be recalled that NCAT in 2018 was recognised by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as an institution with the highest number of instructors in the world for the third year running and a Regional Training Center of Excellence. The award was conferred on the college at the Global Aviation Training (GAT) and TRAINAIR PLUS symposium gala night held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

FG targets 4m jobs through oil palm production Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The federal government says it plans to create about four million jobs through oil palm production in the country. This was disclosed by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Sunday Akpan, in a statement signed by the Senior Information Officer in the ministry, Sorinolu Olayinka, in Abuja. Akpan, who was represented by the Director, Department of Commodity Produce and Inspectorate, Omololu Ope-Ewe, said this during the presentation of the draft oil palm policy document value chain. He said the federal government is working towards ensuring the repositioning of the oil palm sector for optimal contribution in terms of job creation and revenue for both government and the private sector. Akpan said oil palm, which once played a predominant role in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country, has been over-looked for so long that the nation now depends on imported products to augment local production. He said the local production was just about one per cent of GDP, unlike the contribution of up to 70 per cent of GDP in the past, insisting that there is potential in the sector with the propensity to sufficiently and conveniently place the country as a major oil palm producer and exporter “as against what is obtainable in the crude oil sector.

What’s unique about 12 incoming governors? (4) Sanwo-Olu, man of experience climbs the saddle in Lagos State Patrick Okohue, Lagos The emergence of Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu in the mainstream political circle of Lagos State came to many as a huge surprise, because it came at a time many political watchers were confident that the state governor on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, was doing so well that there wasn’t any likelihood of his not returning for a second term. It therefore came as a huge shock to many when the news started filtering in that the APC was not likely to adopt Ambode for a second term, and that rather SanwoOlu was taking over. It was not until the primary of the party that the reality dawned on almost everyone that indeed, Ambode was gone for good. The mode of emergence therefore many have said has put a huge burden on Sanwo-Olu as the people await May 29 for his inauguration as the next governor of the state to hit the ground running. Though it will not really be right to say that Ambode as a governor failed the people of Lagos State in key performance in index, be it security, job creation, building of infrastructure among others, the reality however is that he is not having a second term, therefore Sanwo-Olu has a responsibility to prove to Lagosians that the leaders of the people who picked him above Ambode did not make a mistake. However, many have said that his background and experience in governance of Lagos State will stand him out in his new assignment, coupled with what many say is in keeping with the Lagos Master Plan, which the leaders said Ambode deviated from which made his second term impossible, noting that since he has been part of the system over a period of time, he must be well in tune with the document, that he possibly was part of the authors to be able to follow it to the letter. Born on June 25, 1965, Sanwo-Olu graduated from

Sanwo Olu

the University of Lagos, having a BSc in Surveying and an MBA from the same institution. He is an alumnus of the John F. Kennedy School of Government, the London Business School and the Lagos Business School. He is an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) and Fellow of the Nigeria Institute of Training and Development (NITAD). Prior to his gubernatorial ambition, he was the Managing Director/CEO of Lagos State Property Development Commission (LSPDC). Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu was the treasurer at former Lead Merchant Bank from 1994 to 1997 after which he moved to the United Bank for Africa as the head of foreign money market. He then proceeded to First Inland Bank Plc (now First City Monument Bank) as a deputy general manager and divisional head. He was the chairman of Baywatch Group Limited and First Class Group Limited. He is a board member of the Department for International Development (DFID/ DEEPEN) Fund and Audit Committee of Caverton Offshore Services Group Plc. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu began his political career in 2003, when he was appointed a Special Adviser on Corporate Matters to the then deputy governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro. He was later made the acting Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget until 2007, when he became the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry by then Governor, Bola Tinubu. After the General Election of 2007, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu was appointed Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions by Governor Babatunde Fashola. Though it is obvious that the pedigree of Sanwo-Olu in the governance of Lagos State shows a man well rounded for the task ahead, it must be said that the challenges he may face in office may well overweigh his preparations. For this reason, many have cautioned that he slows down on promises that he has started making lately about what he intends to do in his first few weeks and months in office and rather allow his action in office speak for him. In a country where very many people are inclined to giving solidarity and relief to victors, some are willing to bet that by now Sawo-Olu’s inbox will be full of congratulatory messages. Rather let us point out that if Mr. Governor-elect can govern half the way he campaigned, then he will certainly be an achieving governor. This is because during his campaign, the candidate Sawo-Olu, through his team, reached every part of Lagos: Every geographical part and socio-economic sector knew Babajide Sanwo-Olu was keen on and planning to be governor of Lagos State. For someone who whilst trying to reach office can show such knowledge of Lagos, its people and the challenges they face during elections, it will be more than disappointing if he does not perform well as a governor. As governor therefore, one of the major challenges and perhaps the most important test Sanwo-Olu will have to face is his ability to match up: He will be compared to past governors and his deeds in office will be compared to his promises during the campaign. Another major challenge the new governor will have to face is his ability to deal with stakeholders on whose shoulders and with whose help he got into office. The stage however has been set for the incoming governor to succeed, but what he does with the opportunity in the next four years is what will define him as a success or otherwise.

Mohammad Yahaya set to raise the bar in infrastructural development in Gombe Tunde Opalana, Abuja Alhaji Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, the Governor-elect of Gombe State, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is a successful businessman and politician. Alhaji Yahaya joined politics in 2003 and has been a player in Gombe’s local politics. In the governorship election of 2015, he was the standard bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Gombe State but lost to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ibrahim Dakwambo. He had a stint in governance in 2003, when he was appointed as Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development by Governor Muhammed Danjuma Goje. Though the development of the state started with the Goje’s administration, the outgoing PDP administration of Ibrahim Dakwambo took the development of Gombe State to a higher pedestal with physical infrastructural projects that has hastened the socioeconomic development of the citizenry. Incoming governor Inuwa Yahaya definitely will have a great task upturning the achievements made by the PDP government. While the Dakwambo administration was commended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for turning around the face of the state and giving him high ratings in governance, there are obviously areas not fully covered which the incoming governor can latch unto. Though Gombe State is one state in the North East region that is not badly ravaged by insurgency, the new administration need to brace up security arrangements and fortify the security landscape to scare away insurgents. The state under Dakwambo was rated as one of the states that partners with National education agencies to improve quality of education in the state. Gombe is one of the states that paid the counterpart funding to access the Universal Basic Education Commission fund.

The incoming governor need not to renege in the prompt payment of the fund so that education at primary school level would not suffer. Of course, much attention needs to be paid to secondary and tertiary education in the state. Inuwa Yahaya should strive to upgrade level of development at the state owned university, access more donor funding for completion and building of new structures and also try to get accreditation from the National Universities Commission for programmes yet to be accredited. Yahaya also needs to bring his wealth of experience as a successful businessman to bear in developing the state economically, by creating wealth, job and employment opportunities for his people. He is expected to work closely with Federal legislators from the state to bring federal presence to the state through development projects. On October 1, 2018, Yahaya won the gubernatorial primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Gombe State with the highest votes. He was elected to the Office of Governor of Gombe State at the 2019 gubernatorial election which was held on March 9, 2019. He scored a total number of 364,179 votes to defeat his closest rival of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Usman Bayero Nafada, who polled 222,868 votes. He was born on October 9, 1961 in Jekadafari, Gombe State. After elementary school and secondary education, he went to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where he obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting in 1983. As an accountant, his first appointment was with the Bauchi State Investment and Property Development (BSIPDC) as an Accountant and later became the Principal Accountant. He joined Nasara Motors Limited, his family business, as an Administration and Finance Manager and later became the Managing Director of Nasara Group of Companies.

Rotimi Abiru has given an assurance that the incoming Assembly with an all All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the Lagos 9th Assembly will serve and be fair to all Lagosians irrespective of ethnicity, religious and political party affiliations for the betterment of the residents and progress of the state. The Lagos 9th Assembly according to the lawmaker who will be returning to the House for the fourth consecutive term, will be proclaimed on the 10th of June. The lawmaker who represents Shomolu constituency 02, made this disclosure while speaking with newsmen shortly after his sponsored annual Ramadan lecture and Iftar held at Gbagada Estate, Gbagada, Lagos. This year’s edition which is season12 of the lecture was titled, “Next Level- Islamic Perspective” was attended by hundreds of Islamic faithful from the length and breadth of Shomolu and environs. Abiru gave an assurance that the State Assembly would not be a rubber stamp to the executive saying the Assembly has always been doing its best irrespective of how Lagosians look at it. “You will agree with me that there is a clear separation of powers in the constitution. But just as there is independence of each arm of government, there is also interdependence. This has to be imbibed for good governance and for the betterment of the state. “You can be rest assured that you will get the best of the 9th Assembly come 10th of June when the

Assembly will be proclaimed,” Abiru stated. While appreciating his constituents for trooping out en masse for the Iftar, the lawmaker enjoined them to maximise the benefits of Ramadan by being dedicated to holiness during and after the fast. “It is for each and every one of us to do what we are supposed to do with the fear of God. We are all in the position of leadership; we should know that we are all accountable for our deeds. “The lesson here is that beyond avoiding eating, this is the period we need to move closer to God. It is a period whereby every good that is done to humanity is rewarded in many folds,” the lawmaker concluded. Earlier, the Chief Imam of Lagos State House of Assembly Mosque, Dr. Abdullateef Abdulhakeem who was the guest lecturer at the event revealed that Islamic perspectives on next level are meant to identify those who deserves your gratitude and being grateful to Him. The Imam who is also the State Commissioner for Home Affairs further revealed that Allah is the best of all those who grants favour, he argued that without Allah’s leave, every other person striving to give you favour would be in nullity. “If politicians had sought to please Allah in accordance to His dictates, they would have achieved greatness in contrast to seeking the favour of political leaders. “After appreciating who has done the best in your life and that is our creator, the next step is to worship Him. “Then this should be followed by ‘O to ge’ enough is enough and that has to be abstinence from sins,” the Islamic Cleric explained.

Niger Delta group writes APC chieftain challenges Fayemi to show patriotism Buhari, makes case for in new assignment NGF Delta on NDDC Board Patrick Okohue A group of frontline leaders in the Niger Delta region of the country have released a blueprint on what they described as a consensus on how to consolidate the unity and political stability of the region. They also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint Deltans as Chairman and Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in line with the laws setting up the commission. ‘Mr. President, Nations are built when existing laws are implemented in its entirety. As you apply the Law and zero on Delta State for the appointment of the Chairman and Managing Director, we plead with you to pick men or women who would further your Next Agenda, serve the interest of the country and the aspirations of the Niger Delta people’. The leaders in a letter to President Buhari, and signed by the Convener, Enlightened Delta Forum, Bestman Odibo and Publicity Secretary, Christopher Orushani said the law was not in doubts as to whether Delta State should produce the Chairman and Managing Director of the

intervention agency. According to them, “The ranking of the highest producing states is not in doubt and the state whose turn it is to be appointed the Managing Director of the next board for which Delta State comes top on all fronts and consideration knowing that Bayelsa State, Rivers State, and Akwa - Ibom State have completed their terms in successive ranking order is very clear.” In the letter titled “Letter establishing the fact on which state should produce the next Chairman and Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)”, the leaders said the letter was not to create controversy, but to forestall such or any controversy due to the peculiarity of the circumstance created by the Law or Act. “Your Excellency, your stance on the Rule of Law and love for fairness and justice no matter the opinion of a few dissenting voices necessitated this letter of great importance from the people of Delta State and the Niger Delta at large. We were never in doubt as to where the pendulum would swing , having seen the sincerity of your administration in fixing the problems inherited by your government,” they said. They further urged President

Buhari to consider fairness and justice in constituting the next board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). “For the first time, Your Excellency, a peculiar but interesting and lawful scenario backed by the act establishing the NDDC Board on the next Chairman of the board which is rotated amongst member states in alphabetic order as stated in the Act establishing the board and also the Managing Director (MD) position which is appointed and rotated based on the “highest” quantum of oil produced amongst the states emanating from one state. In applying the law that supports quantum as the basis for succession, Delta State falls next in line after Akwa – Ibom.” They stressed that the scenario would not start and end with Delta State as the First beneficiary of this unique position of the Law, but that other states would experience same in future rotation. “Your Excellency, we are glad to point to you the convergence of the positions of the Chairman and the Managing Director to Delta State, though the first of its kind, but a true reflection of the position of the Act establishing the Board of the NDDC,” the leaders added.

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mr Kayode Ojo has congratulated the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on his emergence as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. In a statement made available to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, Engineer Ojo urged the Governor to display patriotism by taking actions that will not heat up the polity, but those that will stabilise Nigeria and bring development to all nooks and crannies of the country. Ojo, a governorship aspirant in the 2018 APC’s Governorship Primary election, in Ekiti State appealed to Fayemi not to be swayed by sycophants and power drunk individuals who might want to use the Forum to fight political battles, by showing hostility to the Federal Government. He said it would be necessary for the Governor to strengthen the peer review mechanism in the Forum and use his network to expose his colleagues to modern governance that will translate to positive impacts on the lives of the citizens. He charged Fayemi to use his influence to direct the psyche of the Governors to projects that will stimulate growth, reduce poverty and curb corruption in high places, for Nigerians to derive enormous benefits from his new status. Ojo noted that NGF is a strong political platform to fight for the rights of Nigerians and initiate developmental programmes that will reduce poverty among the people, stressing that he was convinced

Dr Kayode Fayemi that Governor Fayemi as a development conscious and people-oriented governor will strengthen the peer review mechanism in the Forum for the Governors to learn from each other in order to drive development in the nation. Engineer Ojo stressed that Leadership comes with responsibilities and its essence was to raise the bar of governance and drive development. He appealed to Fayemi to make some of his far-reaching policies like Social Security Scheme, Youth in Commercial Agriculture, Foodbank policy and other anti-poverty initiatives the cardinal agenda to be instituted by Governors in their respective States. “Bringing on board developmental initiatives will not only raise the bar of performance, but will change the mindsets that the forum remains a veritable platform to fight political battles or gain national prominence,” he said.

Listing: SEC, NSE streamline process to encourage more listings Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nigerian Stock Exchange (“The Exchange” or “NSE”) have moved to make the processes of listing on the NSE more efficient and cost-effective by streamlining the approval of the process between the SEC and the NSE. The streamlined process which will come into effect on June 1, 2019, is aimed at reducing the regulatory burden on issuer’s by eliminating duplication of processes between the SEC and the NSE, reducing the time to market for the issuance and listing

of securities and ultimately driving more listing on the Exchange. With the streamlined processes, the SEC and the NSE will carry out joint site visits of companies intending to get listed, following the registration of their securities with the SEC. In the same vein, certain offer documents such as the Vending Agreement, Underwriting Agreement, Trust Deed and ISPO, identified to be strictly within the jurisdiction of the SEC are to be submitted only to the SEC. Also, The Exchange will rely on SEC for approval of offer documents such as a Prospectus. The Ag. Executive Commissioner Operations at the Securities and Exchange

Commission, Mr Isiyaku Bala Tilde disclosed, “Streamlining the issuance process with the listing process of the NSE is a major milestone for the commission in its quest to create an enabling environment capable of attracting New Listings. One of our core values is leading by example, and we hope that other stakeholders will also look inward to explore similar initiatives which will ensure quick time to market of securities in our market. We have no doubt that the streamlined process will enhance the competitiveness of the Nigerian capital market as a global investment destination.” Speaking on this development, Ms Tinuade Awe, Executive Director, Regulation at The Nigerian Stock Exchange

said, “I commend the SEC for working with us in streamlining the listing process for securities on The Exchange. The NSE is much obliged for the SEC’s demonstration of a worthy example of effective collaboration all through this process in the interest of the market. As an agile exchange, we are determined to make it easier for issuers to list their securities in our market in an efficient, timely and cost-effective manner. The NSE began its collaboration with the SEC by identifying areas of duplication and overlap between the two organisations, paving way for a better experience for issuers. We believe this will potentially attract more issuers to list their companies and other securities on the NSE.”

economy and the country,” Olusemire said. He said the Federal Government’s policy only allowed cars to be imported through the seaports for proper documentation. He said: “The seized vehicles will be auctioned through the Customs Service’s e-auction network, which will commence next week. “We urge the media to assist the service in sensitising the public on the ills and negative effects of smuggling on the economy.”

Hassan Rouhani said his people have not bowed to pressures despite facing crippling US sanctions

Iran vows no surrender even if bombed by ‘enemies’ Iran will not surrender to US pressure and will never abandon its goals even if it is attacked, President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Iran’s top military chief said the standoff between Tehran and Washington was a “clash of wills”, warning any enemy “adventurism” would meet a crushing response, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported. Tensions are festering between the two countries after Washington sent more military hardware to the Middle East in a show of force against what US officials say are Iranian threats to its troops and interests in the region.

After pulling out of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, US President Donald Trump restored punishing American sanctions on Iran last year and tightened them this month, ordering all countries to halt imports of Iranian oil or face sanctions of their own. “More than one year after the imposition of these severe sanctions, our people have not bowed to pressures despite facing difficulties in their lives,” Rouhani was quoted by the state news agency IRNA as saying. Addressing a ceremony in commemoration of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, he added: “We need resistance so our enemies

The war of words between the two rivals shows no signs of abating. On Sunday, Trump tweeted: “If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!” Acting US defence chief Patrick Shanahan on Thursday confirmed the Pentagon was considering sending additional American troops to the Middle East as one of the ways to bolster protection for US forces there amid the rising tensions with Iran. “What we’re looking at is: Are there things that we can do to enhance force protection in the Middle East?” Shanahan said. “It may involve sending additional troops.” But Shanahan denied news reports that plans call for the deployment of as many as 10,000 more American soldiers to the region. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told German envoy Jens Ploetner - who is seeking to preserve the 2015 nuclear deal - that Tehran’s patience was over. He urged the treaty’s remaining signatories to fulfil their commitments after the United Statespulled out, the Fars news agency reported on Thursday. Britain, France and Germany, which signed the 2015 deal along with the US, China and Russia,

know that if they bomb our land, and if our children are martyred, wounded or taken as prisoners, we will not give up on our goals for the independence of our country and our pride.” Iran’s armed forces chief of staff, Major-General Mohammad Baqeri, also pointed to an Iranian battle victory in the war with Iraq, and said that outcome should be a message that Iran will have a “hard, crushing and obliterating response” for any enemy. “The confrontation and face-off of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the malicious government of America is the arena for a clash of wills,” Baqeri said.

are determined to show they can compensate for last year’s US withdrawal from the deal, protect trade, and still dissuade Tehran from quitting an accord designed to prevent it developing a nuclear bomb. But Iran’s decision earlier this month to backtrack from some commitments in response to US measures to cripple its economy threatens to unravel the deal, under which Tehran agreed to curbs on its uranium enrichment programme in exchange for the removal of most international sanctions. “After Iran’s announcement to partly suspend its commitments under the [nuclear deal], there is a window of opportunity for diplomacy to persuade Iran to continue to fully comply,” an unnamed German diplomatic source told Reuters News Agency. Tensions have soared between Iran and the US since Washington sent more military assets to the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier, B-52 bombers and Patriot missiles. The German diplomatic source said: “The situation in the Persian Gulf and the region, and the situation around the Vienna nuclear accord is extremely serious. There is a real risk of escalation ... In this situation, dialogue is very important.”

Victor Moses: I just needed to play football after “tough” time at Chelsea Victor Moses says he needed to play football after a lack of game time at Chelsea prompted an 18-month January loan move to Fenerbahce where the Nigeria international claims his family is now settled. Despite being a key member of Antonio Conte’s 2016-17 Premier League title-winning side, Moses made only five appearances under the Italian’s successor Maurizio Sarri this season. But, since moving to Fenerbahce earlier this year, the 28-year-old has scored three times in 13 Super Lig games and has helped his temporary club climb into the top half. “It’s tough, as Chelsea’s a very special place for me and I’ve always had a great relationship with the fans but it became very obvious that I was not in the manager’s plans,” Moses told The Guardian. “I have achieved great things there but I just needed to play football and that’s why I got the

move to Fenerbahce.” The Turkish giants were in a difficult place when Moses linked up with them, though, having won only three of their first 18 league matches to leave them above the relegation zone on goal difference alone. “When I came here, everyone was a little bit shocked by the position they were in and that was the main reason why I came, as a big club like Fenerbahce should not be in a position like that,” the former Wigan star added. And Moses has enjoyed the experience in a country known for the religious dedication of its football fans. “In the stadium the atmosphere is a lot different [to England],” he continued. “It’s unlike anything I have ever experienced in football, every game is a must-win game and they are so passionate as they just want us to win and make everybody happy. It’s not just football, it’s a way of life here.

“It’s a massive experience, playing against Galatasaray and Besiktas, you can feel the atmosphere, it feels like the stadium is going to fall down due to the fans singing and bouncing. The atmosphere is amazing, you can easily tell the passion they’ve got for football here is crazy. They just love football and want the team to win, that’s why they support the team.” The Crystal Palace academy graduate has previously spent time on loan at Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham during his spell at Stamford Bridge, but this the first stint of his club career outside of England. Moses says he has adjusted to life in a new country well though. “I am here with my wife and two kids. My kids are going to school here and my wife has settled down. It has made it a lot easier for me to go to work and come home to see the kids, it feels like I am still back in London.”

Premier League welcome Raheem Sterling’s offer to tackle racism The Premier League has welcomed Raheem Sterling’s offer to help in the fight against racism after the Manchester City star called on the sport’s authorities to do more to tackle the problem. Sterling told the Wall Street Football Association and Premier League to discuss his ideas. Premier League chiefs have responded by confirming they are ready to talk to the England winger and any other players with thoughts on the issue. “The Premier League and our clubs agree that while good work has been undertaken, more needs to be done to promote inclusion and diversity across football and to ensure BAME fans and players are supported,” a Premier League statement said on Thursday. “Raheem took part in our No Room for Racism campaign and we would welcome the opportunity to talk to him, and other players, about discrimination in football. “Developing our work in this area is a priority for the Premier League.” Sterling and several of his England team-mates endured racist chanting during a Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro in March. He was also allegedly abused by Chelsea fans in December and, speaking at the event, he said strong punishments are needed in order for the campaign to have a

Journal’s Future of Everything Festival in New York this week that football’s current attempts to stamp out racism are not effective enough. The 24-year-old wants the introduction of stronger real impact. “Teams getting (points) deductions, teams getting kicked out. This is when people start taking it seriously,” he said. “If I go to a football game and I support Manchester United, for example, I don’t want to be the person that lets my team down by saying silly remarks in a stadium. “If you know your team is going to get deducted nine points and not win the league, you are not going to say these racist remarks even though you shouldn’t have it in your head.”

Michael Hunter: I will earn my fight with Anthony Joshua Michael Hunter intends to earn his world title shot at Anthony Joshua after coming close to being confirmed as a replacement opponent for the British star’s US debut. The American was included on a shortlist for Joshua before Andy Ruiz Jr was named as the next challenger for the WBA ‘super’, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 1. Hunter confirmed that he did not receive formal terms after original foe Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller failed a drug test, but hopes to force his way back into contention, starting with this weekend’s fight against Fabio Maldonado in Maryland. He told Sky Sports: “They were close to using me, because they couldn’t find the right representative, and I think I would have been the right representative, but

they found somebody better suited, Andy Ruiz. “He’s no slouch and he’s definitely a worthy opponent, whatever people think of him. “Eventually once I keep winning and getting better, eventually I’m just going to rise to the top on my own. If I do get it, it will be because I earned it, and I took it from them. “To get it like the way I was going to get it, with the mishap of the ‘Big Baby’ situation, I don’t think I’ll get that opportunity again. “If I do get it, it will be because I earned it, and I took it from them.” The Las Vegas-based 30-year-old is open to a return to Britain after last year’s stoppage victory over Martin Bakole in London, which was followed by another knockout of Alexander Ustinov in Monte Carlo.
