MPC maintains status quo amid determination to sustain growth Retains MPR at 13.5%, CRR 22.5%, other indices unchanged CBN to ban access to forex for milk imports, punish banks that refuse to lend to customers

Motolani Oseni, Lagos The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the end of its two-day bimonthly meeting on Tuesday left main economic rates unchanged.

This is even as the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, said the apex bank is determined to continue to promote measures that would stimulate sustainable growth in the real sector through lending at the lowest rates.

MPC maintains status quo amid determination to sustain growth

Continued from page 1

11 MPC members voted unanimously to hold all parameters of the monetary indices - meaning that the retention of anchor lending rate, (Monetary Policy Rate) 13.5 per cent as adopted in May, retain the asymmetric corridor of +200/-500 around the MPR; Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) at 22.5 per cent and Liquidity Ratio (LR) at 30 per cent.

Speaking to the newsmen at the end of the meeting, Emefiele, who presided over the bi-monthly meeting, said the CBN was determined to continue to promote measures that would stimulate sustainable growth in the real sector through lending at lowest rates, reduce inflation to single-digit and ensure financial system stability, amongst other micro and macroeconomic targets.

Emefiele also confirmed the monetary authorities’ plan to remove milk from the list of items being supported with foreign exchange from the official windows, saying that the decision to do so is imminent.

Commenting on the rumours around the planned de-listing of milk from official forex-supported imported items, the apex bank boss said that it was no longer desirable for Nigeria to keep spending between USD 1 billion to USD 1.2 billion monthly on milk when the country had what it required to meet the local demand for the commodity.

According to him, the Bank had over the past few years engaged major manufacturers and importers of milk on discussions about how to optimise the local production and assured them of its readiness to support their activities, including their backward integration programmes and investments.

He explained that the initiatives were undertaken by the bank to make Nigeria self-sufficient milk, reduce the pressure on the nation’s foreign reserves, reduce the escalating clashes between herdsmen and farmers, improve the nutritional quality of milk being consumed by Nigerians and also create jobs, amongst other objectives.

The governor said that despite the recent opposition of some groups to the proposed monetary measure on milk importation, the CBN was determined to see the measure come true very soon in view of the multidimensional socio-economic benefits for the country.

Emefiele, however, disclosed that the CBN will

increase the CRR of banks that refuse to meet the minimum the lending threshold to customers to 50 per cent as from September 30, 2019.

He said: “After September 30, we are going to begin a month by month monitoring of the prescription of deposit loan ratio for the banks. It’s because we all must work together as Nigerians to do everything that is possible to grow this economy.”

The CBN Governor also said that the bank’s management was seeking to obey a directive of MPC to compel banks to lend to the economy instead of investing only in government securities.

“You will recall that at last MPC May 2019, given that we observed there was a flat position in lending by deposit money banks to the industry, MPC mandated management to look into how the banks can be refocused to do more of lending to the real sector to grow the economy.

“The only set of institutions or persons by law that can conduct financial intermediation, real intermediation from the surplus side to deficit sectors are banks.

“If they cannot provide the possibility, then we have a problem. We want deposit money banks as financial intermediators to play this role, because they must be seen to catalyse growth in Nigeria economy.

“In an attempt to do that, weeks ago we released a guideline that prescribed the minimum lending for banks, because we will no longer allow a situation where, when banks receive deposit from customers, all they do is just bring the money to CBN or government, invest in instruments and after 90 days, 180 days, one year, they come to CBN, we cut them a cheque and they put it as income into their balance sheet and they declare billions of naira. I’m a banker myself”, he stated.

“In that guideline, CBN gave banks “certain carrots or incentives that when they lend to the consumer credit, mortgage credit, the SMEs, that we will grant them certain dispensation they would be happier about.

“But if they do not, we would apply certain sanctions that involve asking that 50 per cent of the unlent portion of their loans into CRR, the deadline is 30th of September”, Emefiele declared.

He added that the CBN in conjunction with banks who are the monetary side of the policy must be seen to play this role, adding “if we don’t play this role, then we have failed in our responsibility.”

“They must know that that is where we want them to invest the money. We don’t want them to invest their monies in treasury bills. It doesn’t mean that the banks are bad.”

He, however, clarified that there were no plans to ban banks from TB and open market operations (OMO).

Expatiating further on the new Lending-Deposit Ratio (LDR) of 60 per cent it unveiled recently, Emefiele said the policy measure was introduced to improve lending by the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) to encourage them in their monetary intermediation roles in the economy.

While citing LDRs in other economies, including the United States of America and South Africa with 75 per cent and 95 per cent LDRs respectively to buttress his points, the CBN governor said that even at the current 60 per cent LDR for Nigerian banks, the rate remained amongst the lowest in some of the countries analysed.

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) trimmed its forecast for global economic growth again as the U.S.-China trade war continues, Brexit worries linger and inflation remains muted.

The global economy is expected to expand by 3.2 per cent in 2019, the fund said in a report released Tuesday morning.

The revised economic growth figure is 0.1 percentage points lower than the IMF had forecast in April and is 0.3 percentage points below the fund’s growth estimate at the start of the year.

“Risks to the forecast are mainly to the downside,” the IMF said. “They include further trade and technology tensions that dent sentiment and slow investment; a protracted increase in risk aversion that exposes the financial vulnerabilities continuing to accumulate after years of low-interest rates.”

“Mounting disinflationary pressures that increase debt service difficulties, constrain monetary policy space to counter downturns, and make adverse shocks more persistent than normal,” the fund added.

Back in May, China and the U.S. hiked tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each other’s goods, stoking fears of a more protracted trade war between the world’s biggest economies. The U.S.China trade war began last year when the U.S. imposed levies on Chinese imports and China retaliated with tariffs of its own.

Mixed reactions greet Buhari’s cabinet list Tunde Opalana, Abuja, Moses Oyediran, Enugu, Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin & Ahmad Sorondinki, Kano Mixed reactions have greeted the list of ministerial nominees as forwarded

by President Muhammadu Buhari and announced by the Senate on Tuesday two months after the President’s inauguration on May 29.

The list of nominees contains the names of 12 former ministers and 31 new appointees.

The Senate is expected to commence the screening and confirmation of the 43 ministers-designate today.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, at plenary after reading the President’s communication containing the names of the nominees.

While 12 former ministers were renominated by the President, a close analysis of the nominees shows that six states, Kwara, Kaduna, Kano, Anambra, Edo and Lagos have two ministersdesignate each as against one nominee from the remaining 31 states, even as the FCT has no nominee on the list.

Making a return to the Federal Executive Council are former ministers Dr. Chris Ngige (Labour), Abubakar Malami (Justice), Lai Mohammed (Information), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu (Science and Technology), Babatunde Fashola (Power, Works and Housing), Rotimi Amaechi (Transport), Adamu Adamu (Education), Hadi Shirika (Aviation), Osagie Ehinare (Minister of state, Health), Zainab Ahmed (Finance), Mohammed Bello (FCT) and Baba Shehuri (Works).

The new faces on the list are the spokesperson of the Buhari/Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo, former Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, exgovernor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Paullen Tallen, Sen. Tayo Alasoadura, former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timpre Silva and Senator Gbemisola Saraki.

Others include Sen. Adeleke Mamora from Lagos State, a Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, Executive Commissioner of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), Sunday Dare and Executive Chairman of the Pension Transition Administrative Department (PTAD), Sharon Ikeazor.

However, surprisingly missing on the list are former Internal Affairs Minister, Maj. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau, Defence Minister, Col. Murktar Dan Ali, Communications Minister, Adebayo Shittu, Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung and Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole.

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan read the names of the 43 ministerial nominees on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.

Sen. Ahmad Lawan confirmed that the screening of the nominees will commence today as the exercise takes precedence over every other parliamentary businesses until the screening and confirmation of the ministers-designate is concluded.

The full list of the nominees at a glance: Ikechukwu Oga (Abia), Mohammed Musa Bello (Adamawa), Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Chris Ngige (Anambra), Sharon Ikeazu (Anambra), Adamu Adamu (Bauchi), Maryam Katagum (Bauchi), Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa), George Akume (Benue), Mustapha Baba Shehuri (Borno), Goddy Agba (Cross Rivers), Festus Keyamo (Delta) and Ogbonnaya Onu (Ebonyi).

Others are Osagie Enakhire (Edo), Clement Agba (Edo), Adeniyi Adebayo (Ekiti), Geofrey Onyeama (Enugu), Ali Issa Pantami (Gombe), Emeka Nwajiuba (Imo), Suleiman Adamu (Jigawa), Zainab Ahmed (Kaduna), Mohammed Mahmoud (Kaduna), Sabo Nanunu (Kano), Bashir Salihi Magashi (Kano), Hadi Sirika (Katsina), Abubakar Malami (Kebbi), Rahmatu Ahmadu Tijani (Kogi), Lai Mohammed (Kwara), Gbemisola Saraki (Kwara), Raji Fashola and Olorunnimbe Momora (Lagos), Also on the list are Muhammed Abdullahi (Nasarawa), Zubeira Dada (Niger) Olamilekan Adegbite (Ogun), Tayo Alasoadura (Ondo), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Sunday Dare (Oyo), Pauline Tallen (Plateau), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi (Sokoto), Saleh Mohammed (Taraba); Abubakar Aliyu (Yobe) and Sadiya Umar Farouk (Zamfara).

Reacting to the ministerial list, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) described the list forwarded by President Buhari to the Senate on Tuesday as “colourless, stagnant, uninspiring” and do not convey any sense of hope or purposeful governance under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party said that to the chagrin and utter disappointment of Nigerians, the list is replete with incompetent

Buhari individuals who failed in their erstwhile ministerial assignments and left their ministries in shambles.

In its reaction, APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, thanked President Buhari over the nomination of Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Ms. Gbemi Saraki, as ministers to represent Kwara State and the North Central geo-political zone in the soon-tobe constituted Federal Executive Council (FEC).

He said the nomination of these two loyal and distinguished indigenes of the state is a clear demonstration of the President’s unambiguous and implicit confidence and love for Kwara.

“We are particularly excited that President Muhammadu Buhari took note of the overwhelming support that he and our great party received in the state during the last general elections, which resulted in our 100 percent victory across all levels “We reiterate our profound gratitude to the President for this great honour accorded our dear state, and further assure him that the two nominees would prove to be worthy representatives that would add value to the Next Level agenda of his administration.

“On behalf of our members and the good people of the state, we hereby pledge our unflinching loyalty and support to the President to enable him achieve his dream of making Nigeria a secure, peaceful and prosperous country that would rub shoulders among the league of respected nations”, he said PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, who stated the

party’s position in a statement, said such a list can only come from a “leadership that does not have the mandate of the people,” adding that the list is a complete waste of time and cannot fulfill the expectations of Nigerians.

The party further posited that “the list has further shown President Buhari and APC’s insensitivity and disdain for Nigerians and it does not in any way reflect their hopes and eagerness for a better Nigeria.

“Furthermore, in recycling failed yesterday’s men for today’s assignment, Buhari and the APC have left no one in doubt that they have no vision to move our nation out of the economic and security predicaments into which they have plunged us in the last four years.

“A committed and responsive leadership would have widely consulted with Nigerians before compiling a ministerial list, given the current situation in the country.

“If indeed, Buhari and the APC mean well for Nigerians and are interested in revamping our critical sectors, they would not have ended up with a list of those who will help conceal the huge corruption in the Buhari administration in the last four years, as well as those who will assist in channelling funds to individuals and groups used by the APC to rig the 2019 presidential election.

“Strangely, the list has no space for the youth demography, those to whom the future is said to belong.”

The PDP held that with this development, it is clear that the only way the nation can come out of her present economic and security quandary lies in

Subsidy: NNPC, CBN, others to brief Senate on refineries status Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Determined to find lasting solution to continuous payment of subsidy to oil marketers on importation of petroleum products, the Senate has invited top officials of government departments and agencies in the oil sector for full briefing.

Also expected to shed light on the present conditions of the nation’s refineries among other issues is the minister in charge of petroleum resources after full inauguration of cabinet ministers.

The Senate committees on Petroleum (downstream and upstream) have to that effect been mandated to invite the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to brief the Senate on the status of the existing refineries in the country.

The upper chamber as well charged the

committees to call relevant stakeholders including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and private sector to advise the Senate on oil subsidy.

The Senate resolution followed a motion titled: “Existing petroleum subsidy: Ensuring self-sufficiency in domestic refining of petroleum product,” sponsored by Sen. Rose Oko (PDP Cross- River) and 42 others.

Contributing, senators viewed the motion from different perspectives with a few of them kicking against removal of subsidy.

Specifically, Senator Ali Ndume, stood his ground that subsidy should not be removed.

“The refineries have been there. We cannot deny simple law of economy of demand and supply. There is the need why refineries are not working optimally. The solution to the subsidy issue is adequate supply.

“The Ad-hoc committee should find out which refineries are not working and what should be done. Report me well; I am not in support of removal of subsidy.”

Leading the debate, Senator Oko said that although Nigeria produces 1.7 million barrels of crude oil per day, but its moribund refineries had very little refining capacity.

The lawmaker noted that between 2006 and 2018, at least N10 trillion has been spent on petrol import subsidy, adding that in May 2019 the Senate criticized the payment of N11 trillion to oil marketers as subsidy in the last six years.

She said the nation imports roughly 90 per cent of its fuel, negating much of the benefits accruing to oil producing nations from high crude prices.

Oko pointed out that despite the resources expended on turn around maintenance, none of the NNPC’s four

refineries currently functions up to 50 percent of their combined capacity of 445,000 barrels per day.

She said the objective of modular refineries was to overcome the huge capital requirement that impedes establishment and maintenance of large scale refineries.

This, she said would ensure self sufficiency in the production and supply of petroleum products.

She said data from the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) website had indicated that a total of 633,000 barrels per day refining capacity had already been lost due to the expiration of licenses of both conventional and modular refinery projects.

Oko, who also spoke on the fuel subsidy, said more than 160 million dollars was spent on subsidy in early 2017 as the national oil company absorbed

the retrieval of Atiku Abubakar’s stolen presidential mandate at the tribunal.

Also, the Enugu State chapter of the APC has expressed displeasure over the reappointment of former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama.

The party described Onyeama’s reappointment as a “terrible mistake,” saying the former minister ought not to have any business in the next level second term agenda of the APC led federal executive council.

Reacting to Tuesday’s re-appointment of Onyeama, the Enugu State APC Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, said the development was not for the interest of Enugu State and Nigeria in general.

He posited that the former minister did more harm than good to the APC in the state during his first outing as a minister, stressing that he never believed in party supremacy.

According to Nwoye, rather than joining hands with the leadership of APC in the state to ensure the progress of the party, Onyeama “was busy wasting tax payers money in sponsoring crisis and sowing seeds of discord.”

The chairman insisted that reappointing the former minister into the federal executive council would further destroy the party in Enugu State because” this is a man who has a penchant for thuggery and pulling down of party structures.

“Aside Enugu State, Nigerians in Diaspora never felt the impact of Oyeama’s office for the four years he occupied the foreign affairs ministry,” Nwoye said, adding that Nigerians were been slaughtered almost on daily basis in parts of the world without any comment or reaction from his office.

Meanwhile, Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Tuesday, congratulated the two ministerial nominees from the state, Alhaji Lai Mohamed and Senator Gbemisola Saraki.

“The governor congratulates the distinguished nominees for the honour done to them and our dear state. He considers it a great honour to have two ministerial slots ceded to Kwara state,” said a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye.

The statement added that the nomination of two ministers-designate from the state “is an affirmation of the special place this state holds in the heart of President Buhari.”

The statement urged the National Assembly, especially senators from Kwara State to offer their full backing for the smooth screening of the nominees in the overall interest of the country.

Similarly, a former Special Adviser to President Buhari on Legislative Matters, Alhaji Abdulrahaman Kawu Sumaila, has described the new list of ministers as a reflection of competence and credibility.

Speaking with journalists in Kano, Kawu debunked allegations of corruption and lopsidedness in the list, insisting that the President has justified his constitutional responsibility.

“Remember, the President has said he will only appoint persons he is familiar with and that he did. Those on the list are capable hands well known to the President, especially those from Kano, Alhaji Sabo Nanono, a traditional title holder and illustrious farmer and Maj. Gen. Magashi.

“And those saying the President’s list is not balanced are not aware of the constitutional right of the President. The constitution says the President should appoint one person each from the states which he did. Again, the President has the prerogative to appoint any other person from anywhere,” Kawu maintained.

Reps to interface with Presidency, Shiites over El-Zakzaky’s detention Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives on Tuesday resolved to interface with the Presidency and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) otherwise known as Shiites over the violent clashes between the sect members and security agents on the continued detention of the sect’s Leader, Ibrahim ElZakzaky.

This resolution was reached and announced after the House had gone into a closed session following disagreements by lawmakers on adopting the prayers of a motion urging the Kaduna State government to obey a court order and release the detained El-Zakzaky.

After a two-hour of debate, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila had put the motion to a voice vote, but he could not clearly rule on the matter following the rowdy voice vote by House members, apparently, divided over the intent of the motion and the amendments proposed to it.

Sensing a stalemate, the speaker called for the House to be divided and that members in support of the motion should occupy the left wing of the chamber while those opposing the motion should occupy the right wing of the chamber.

This decision resulted in members moving across the

chamber to pitch their tent in support of the motion or against its passage rowdily with lawmakers openly wooing colleagues to back their cause, forcing the speaker to call for an executive session to resolve the impeding impasse.

When the House subsequently, reconvened after the executive session, Speaker Gbajabiamila read out the House resolution which is the setting up of an ad hoc committee led by House Leader, Rep. Ado Doguwa that would interface with the Presidency with a view to resolving the matter.

Moving the motion earlier, Rep. Shamsudeen Danbazau (APC/Kano), said that the actions of the group have threatened the peace and security of the nation’s capital and the corporate existence of Nigeria.

He said the killing of a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Usman Umar and a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Precious Owolabi, among others victims and the vandalisation of private and public properties were “terrorising.”

Rep. Dambazau called on the House to make recommendations that would outlaw the Shiite group as its activities contravenes the 2011 Terrorism Act as passed by the National Assembly.

Contributing to the debate,

Gbajabiamila Rep. Stanley Olajide (PDP/ Oyo), said that it was a critical situation and that it was important to be seriously dealt with, adding that it was easy to call for more security personnel to be positioned at strategic points, but it was important to engage in dialogue.

Also, Rep. Luke Onofiok (PDP/Akwa Ibom), said that heads of security agencies should be invited to explain their challenges with a view to finding a lasting solution to the security situation in the country.

Onofiok said that a lot of resources were invested in training the late DCP, the corps member and other victims who were avoidably killed in the clash.

He commiserated with members of the families of

the victims and the police and prayed for the repose of the souls of all those who had died.

Also, the Leader of the House, Rep. Ado Doguwa (APC/Kano), said that he had earlier engaged the Shiite group on behalf of the House. The leader said that he promised the group to present their concerns to the leadership of the National Assembly and ensure they get results.

Doguwa said he was disappointed that the group invaded the National Assembly the next day, injuring security agents, vandalising public and private property.

The lawmaker said that the National Assembly which is the symbol of democracy should always be respected as it plays its role in ensuring that the people’s voices are heard.

Uwajumogu can’t stampede us to issue him certificate of return - INEC The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned the senatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) for Imo North in the last general election, Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu, not to arm-twist the commission into issuing him a certificate of return.

The commission reacted to Uwajumogu’s protest to the INEC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, demanding a certificate of return based on an order by an Abuja Federal High Court.

The Commission in a statement on Tuesday by its

National Commissioner incharge of Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, said though it has been served with court judgment on July 16, it has not taken a decision.

“The said judgement could not undergo the regular processes and procedures of the commission and must wait for the next commission’s meeting.

“The commission will not be stampeded into taking precipitate action or decision that may be detrimental to the electoral process and procedures,” Okoye stated.

Okoye said as at July 22nd, the commission has withdrawn and re-issued 87 certificates of return to different candidates

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) are to increase collaboration with all relevant agencies to strengthen security at the nation’s airports.

Mr. Sam Adurogboye, the NCAA General Manager and Public Affairs, confirmed the

development in Lagos on Tuesday.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission is a commission of the Nigerian people and not that of any political tendency.

“Our commitment is to the rule of law and the enthronement of clean electoral process and in discharging this duty, the commission will not waver, be blackmailed or intimidated.

“The commission is therefore interested in obeying the courts and this has nothing to do with the political affiliation of the candidates or the aggrieved parties,” Okoye assured.

According to him, INEC does not make a distinction between orders made in its

favour and orders made against it, adding that the commission was interested in the rule of law and due process.

He disclosed that all court orders were subjected to the processes and procedures of the commission, stating that this was “to prevent giving effect to fraudulent court orders or giving wrong interpretation to orders of court.

“We have instances where the commission declared as unenforceable court orders that required it to issue certificates of return in respect of constituencies and senatorial districts not known to the law and the constitution,” he added.

NCAA, FAAN, others partner to improve airports security Adurogboye explained that the collaboration was to forestall a similar occurrence of the security breach that happened at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) last Friday morning.

“After a review of the preliminary report submitted

by FAAN to the regulatory

authority and further investigation by NCAA, FAAN has been advised to provide additional security patrol vehicles at the airside.

“Meanwhile, the NCAA and other relevant agencies would continue to work together toward ensuring adequate security at all the nation’s airports.

Gbajabiamila seeks legislation on crypto- currency Henry Omunu, Abuja

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that there is a need to come up with legislation on crypto-currency, which is gradually becoming acceptable all over the world.

The Speaker said the legislation became necessary to regulate transactions involving cryptocurrency for Nigeria not to be left behind.

Gbajabiamila, who spoke during a visit by the board of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) led by its Chairman, Ronke Sokefun, said he believed the corporation’s mandate was critical to the financial sector of Nigeria’s economy.

He said the House would structure the corporation to enhance the agency’s statutory functions, saying the House would look at the law establishing the agency to make amendments that would ensure that some of its functions do not overlap with that of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

“On the issue of cryptocurrency, I think block-chain technology is novel and coming up strong. We don’t want to be left behind. Not too long ago, a group of world leaders, G20 met in Osaka, Japan and one of the issues they discussed was block-chain technology and crypto-currency.

“They had a sub-group of leaders called the V20 established from that meeting.

It’s an assemblage of virtual currency representatives. I think the world is taking the issue of crypto-currency and block-chain technology seriously. We don’t want to be left behind, and we have to take it seriously.

“The House is ready to work with you on that so that we don’t get left behind, and within

legislation and regulation of block-chain application that will put Nigeria within that rank of advanced technology.

“I’m aware that we trade on different platforms about $12 million on yearly basis in this country, and a lot of these things, as you said, are in the air but not captured. It is time we begin to look seriously at this advancement in technology,” the Speaker said.

On structuring the corporation, the Speaker said “there seems to be a blurry line over some of your functions and that of CBN: some overlapping functions.

“I think we need to structure NDIC so that the lines are clearly defined. I’m sure if that hasn’t happened already, there will be times, if not now but in the future when those grey areas might cause issues between you and the CBN.” Speaker Gbajabiamila also assured that the yet-to-beconstituted House Committee on Banking and Currency would pay adequate attention to the activities of the corporation and that suggestions on how to collaborate with the House would be welcomed.

Earlier, the NDIC Chairman, Sokefun said the visit was to congratulate the Speaker on his emergence and acquaint him with the basic functions of the corporation being a critical player in the Nigerian financial sector.

She said the corporation has achieved remarkable success in its 30 years of operations, noting that it was the first public sector institution in Nigeria to receive three international standards certification.

She said the corporation has been remitting pension and national housing funds, among others, to the appropriate quarters and that it was adjudged the best performing ministerial sector unit

by SERVICOM.

...NNPC, CBN, others to brief Senate on refineries status Continued from page 4 cost due to an increase in crude oil price.

Narrating the history of subsidy, the lawmaker said that Nigeria introduced petroleum subsidy in the 1980s as a temporary measure aimed at strengthening the local refining industry and improving product affordability and domestic consumption.

She lamented that the move has become a permanent feature of the nation’s economic life and has not only continued unabated, but has sky rocketed over the years as successive administrations have failed to make Nigeria self-sufficient in domestic production of refined petroleum products.

The lawmaker said despite the dire need to exit petroleum importation and subsidy, there was neither a comprehensive plan to ensure its actualisation.

Oko said there was no form of technical and financial aid for refinery license holders to ensure the refineries become operational.

Senators Barau Jibril, Thompson Sekibo, Ifeanyi Uba among others, who supported the motion, said there was an

urgent need to ensure the optimal performance of the refineries.

They also called for grants to support the actualisation of the 43 modular refineries in the country.

The Senate in a voice vote urged the committee on petroleum downstream and upstream, when constituted to report back to the senate on the status of modular and existing refineries in eight weeks time.

In his remark, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who presided over the plenary, said that there is the need to ensure that operators of the 43 oil licences fully utilize the opportunity given to them.

He pointed out that it is imperative that the existing refineries are optimally functional and ensure refining of crude products.

Lawan was optimistic that when the Petroleum Industrial Bill (PIB) becomes fully operational, it will no doubt resolve issues around continuous payment of subsidy on importation of petroleum products He said the PIB regime will afford different stakeholders especially the private sector in the oil and gas sector to full participate in the future industry.

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria on Tuesday denied being responsible for the death of the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Usman Musa and the Channels Television reporter, Precious Owolabi, who were killed in Abuja on Monday during the deadly clash between the protesting sect members and the police.

Spokesman for the group, Mallam Ibrahim Musa, said in a statement in Kaduna that the late deputy police commissioner may have been “a victim of friendly fire.”

The IMN also absolved itself of the killing of journalist, Precious Owolabi, noting that he was a victim of the shooting spree carried out by the police on Monday.

Musa, who is the President, Media Forum of the Islamic Movement, maintained that members of the movement do not carry weapons, so they could not have been responsible for the death of the senior police officer

and the reporter.

The statement reads in part: “Yesterday, the Nigeria Police Force headquarters issued a press statement in which it ascribed the death of DCP Usman Umar in particular to the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of the illegally detained Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky .

“We vehemently condemn such insinuation which we believe was done in bad taste to once again tarnish our hard earned credit as the only nonviolent movement in the country.

“A quick analysis of images and video clips showed that the free Zakzaky procession was peacefully progressing prior to the brutal crackdown. It also clearly showed that the protesters were not bearing arms as usual and traffic was moving smoothly without hindrance.

“Furthermore, the images also showed the police, armed to the teeth with intent on stopping the movement of the protesters at all cost. Few other policemen and plain clothes security agents were seen piling used tyres for use to set bonfires. “By the time the police

struck, about a dozen members of the Islamic Movement had been killed. The police were seen picking the corpses to an undisclosed location, perhaps for mass burial.”

The group further added that “also shot were the Channels TV reporter, Precious Owolabi and their colleague, a deputy commissioner of police, whom photographs show, was struck from the back of his head with the bullet exit in front, an indication that he was a victim of friendly fire.

“It is a known fact among the intelligence community that you don’t retreat from a mob with your back turned against them.

This is one of the tenets of crowd control for law enforcement agencies. As if to hide this fact, the late policeman was hurriedly buried without any form of postmortem examination, which would have revealed the source of the bullet.

“It seems the security agents strategically killed the journalist to turn the media against us.

They also killed the police officer to incite the security community against us and to stigmatise us.”

Short News UNAIDS targets 2020 to end HIV/ AIDS epidemic in Nigeria Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The joint United Nations programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is working towards ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nigeria and the world generally by 2020.

The agency has rated Nigeria 62: 88: 68 as achievement level out of the 90: 90: 90 target for Vision 2020.

Communication Officer of UNAIDS in Nigeria, Ms. Rupa Bhadra, who disclosed this in Abuja on Tuesday, said that the programme would set target 95: 95: 95 for 2030 if the 2020 target is not achieved.

She explained that the result was analysed from the survey conducted in December 2018 for Nigeria, declaring that “the 90: 90: 90 achievement for Nigeria is 62: 88: 68. These are results as of December 2018 for Nigeria as a whole.”

The UNAIDS spokesperson said that at the global level, the indicator rate stood at 79: 78: 86.

According to Bhadra, results at the sub-national areas in some states and local government areas are not too encouraging, whereas some states did better than the national average.

UNAIDS in its recent report indicated that key population is responsible for new infection of HIV/AIDS globally through risk behaviour like anal sex and illicit drugs use, among others.

The 90: 90: 90 UNAIDS’ target for 90 per cent of people diagnosed for HIV/AIDS to know that they are positive and that ninety per cent of anti -retroviral drugs be made accessible to them with 90 per cent of the virus suppressed by the year 2020.

Businessman slams N50bn suit against EFCC over unlawful detention Andrew Orolua, Abuja Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy Transportation and Construction Services Limited, Babagana Dalori, has dragged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before the Federal High Court in Abuja, praying for N50 billion as aggravated damages for his unlawful detention since March.

In the suit dated July 19 and marked FHC/ ABJ/CS/857/2019 that was brought through an originating summons by his lawyer, Ganny Ajape, the plaintiff is also asking the court to order for his immediate release.

Dalori is praying for the award of N50 billion as aggravated damages against the defendant for the gross violation, loss of earnings and physical and psychological trauma occasioned by the sealing of his business premises, freezing of his personal/corporate accounts and his continuous detention without arraignment and trial for over four months.

Among other reliefs, the plaintiff wants a declaration that the EFCC’s order sealing his business concerns and premises without regards to the laid down procedures is unlawful, unwarranted, illegal, over-reaching and a clear abuse of office and privilege.

The plaintiff is further seeking a declaration that the act of freezing his corporate and personal bank accounts by the EFCC is a gross violation of the applicants’ rights as enshrined in Sections 36 (1) and 44 (1) of the 1999 Constitution, and Article 14 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

Further, the applicant is praying for an order unfreezing his corporate/personal accounts by the EFCC. The plaintiff in the suit is asking the court to determine the following questions upon which he is seeking the reliefs.

“Whether upon interpretation of the provision of the constitution, particularly, Sections 36 (1), 43 and 44, the defendant is justified in sealing all the business concerns

and premises of the plaintiff without regards to the laid down procedure.

“Whether upon interpretation of the instrument establishing the EFCC and particularly, Section 34 (1) of the EFCC Act and Article 14 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Right, the defendant did not act ultra vires of its statutory powers when it ordered the freezing of the corporate/personal accounts of the plaintiff without adhering to the legal, regular and proper procedure for so acting.

“Whether upon interpretation of the EFCC Act and the constitution, particularly, Section 35 (1) and (4), the defendant cannot be said to have acted ultra vires of its constitutional powers by keeping the plaintiff in its custody (detention) without bail and/or by directing the plaintiff to deposit the sum of N200, 000, 000 before he can be released on bail.

An affidavit accompanying the originating summons was deposed to by Shuiabu Ojirobe, head of the inspectorate unit of Galaxy Transportation and Construction Services Limited.

The affidavit sworn to on July 22 states that trouble started when the plaintiff who is into transportation, construction and quarry activities could not meet up with financial obligations to their numerous investors due to the embargo on quarry activities by the federal government.

According to the deponent, some of the investors who became impatient authored a petition to the EFCC complaining that the plaintiff was not forthcoming in meeting their financial obligations and return on investment to them.

“The defendant in reaction to the said petition invited the first plaintiff for questioning and have subjected him to unprecedented harassment, intimidation and untold hardship and all efforts to secure his bail since March have proved abortive,” Ojirobe averred.

No date has been fixed for mention of the matter.

Bauchi lampoons APC spokesman Short News supports documentation over comments on assembly saga Okowa of immigrants Samuel Luka, Bauchi

The Bauchi state government has lambasted the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lanre Onilu over his comments on the state House of Assembly leadership impasse.

In a press release dated July 22, Dr. Ladan Salihu, the spokesperson for the governor said that the attention of the state government has been drawn to a statement credited to Onilu refering to proper proclamation of the houses of assembly in Bauchi and Edo states and he was also quoted as saying that the rule of law must guide every action, and end the rule of impunity.

Responding, Dr. Salihu described as embarrassing that an official of Onilu’s calibre missed out completely on the facts of the matter, averring that the constitutional proclamation was issued by Governor Bala

Mohammed on June 20 in exercise in accordance with the constitution.

“There were 13 members who, more than formed a quorum; only 11 were required by law. Elections to the leadership of the house of assembly were held in accordance with laid down procedures.

“What came out of the statements of the APC national publicity was another page from a complicity strategy book to continue to wage media trial and media war on Governor Bala Mohammed,” the statement observed.

Gov. Bala’s spokesman further said that the pronouncements made

by Onilu “were clearly the voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau. It explains why Chief Odigie Oyegun, a former national chairman warned his successor, Adams Oshiomhole to stop attacking Governor Obaseki for meddling in the affairs of Edo state House of Assembly.

“We in Bauchi are conversant with

the APC national chairman’s politics of arbitrariness, grandstanding and impunity which wreaked havoc to his party and the people of Zamfara, Rivers, Adamawa, Sokoto and Bauchi states.”

The Bauchi state government warned that Onilu should be the last to speak about arbitrariness when his boss remains the proponent and champion of arbitrariness and impunity.

The statement added that “the obnoxious selfish interest and bad leadership style of Adams Oshiomhole has brought so much misfortune to his party nationally.”

It alleged that Oshiomhole wants to spread malaise against the government and people of Bauchi state, but added that the people of Bauchi are politically matured to resolve their differences amicably while advising Oshiomhole and his minders to leave Gov. Bala and Bauchi state alone.

Nosa Akenzua, Asaba Delta state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has thrown his weight behind the documentation of immigrants, saying such will ensure proper planning and assist in the security of lives and property of Nigerians.

Speaking when the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Mohammad Babandede paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday in Asaba, the governor observed that it was important for appropriate reforms to be taken for the benefits of Nigerians and the country.

“It is very important both for security purposes and for our population plan for foreigners to be documented because without appropriate documentation it can impact negatively on planning for the nation when it comes to taking care of our people. So, without the right account of our people, our resources will become depleted and planning will be affected drastically.

“We must congratulate you (NIS) on the immigration reform. I think it is important for us as a nation because you find out that people from other countries just come into our country and settle in any part of the nation.

“They are not documented in any manner and that is not good for a nation because if they commit crime, they cannot be traced and it is important that even without people committing crime, we should have documentations of foreigners in our country,” Gov. Okowa said.

He commended the immigration service for initiating landmark reforms, stating that “I am very excited to be briefed on some of these projects that you have embarked on especially on the issue concerning e-passport which will be tied down to national identity.

“It is something that is very innovative; something that I believe can help us in national security because people bearing all manner of names and people with more than one passport will surely become a thing of the past. So, we want to thank you for thinking about this thoroughly and bringing up this reform.”

Gov. Okowa assured the immigration service of his administration’s continous support as they are render vital services to citizens of the state and Nigerians in general.

Earlier, the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Mohammad Babandede said he was in Delta state to commission some projects and commended Gov. Okowa for his administration’s numerous support to immigration service.

Zionist leader to proclaim self President July 30 Names Gana, Utomi, Soludo, others ministers

Moses Oyediran, Enugu Self-proclaimed President of the Biafra Zionists Federation, Benjamin Onwuka has invited prominent Nigerians from the defunct Biafra Republic and other parts of the country for his inauguration as President on July 30.

Also, Onwuka revealed that he has pencilled down names of prominent persons, such as Prof. Jerry Gana, Prof.

Pat Utomi, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Labaran Maku and Arunma Otteh as members of his cabinet.

Onwuka in a statement made available to journalists in Enugu on Tuesday, disclosed that he has invited for the inauguration Prof. Pat Utomi as foreign minister, Arunma Otteh as minister of finance, Prof. Chuwkuma Soludo as Central Bank governor and Maxwell Mba Okpo as minister of petroleum.

Other prominent Nigerians on the ministerial list include Amarachi Ubani as minister of information, May Okafor, minister of trade and industry, Gabrierl

Oluwole Osagie, asminister of education, Jerry Gana, in-charge of transportation, Labaran Maku, aviation, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Beni Lar, Dr. Uzodinma Achebe, UN ambassador and Dr, John Nnia Nwodo, US ambassador.

The Zionists leader also came hard on the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, who had warned against the blanket demonization of herdsmen, especially of the Fulani stock.

Bishop Kukah likened the uproar and profiling of the Fulani herdsmen to what happened to the Igbos leading up to the Nigerian civil war between 1967 and 1970.

“If it is Fulani today, yesterday it was the Igbos,” he was quoted to have said.

But, Onwuka described the Bishop Kukah’s stance as “a blind analogy. In the events that preceded the civil war, the Biafrans faced genocide in the Northern part of the country.

“Today, the same Fulani have brought the genocide down here to our land on the pretext of rearing cattle. So, we are the victims yesterday, we are the victims

today.

“This is least expected from someone at the level of Kukah, but he chose to rewrite history. This is so shameful.”

Onwuka, while calling for mass return of people of the South East, issued a fresh ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen to vacate the region.

“In furtherance to my earlier statement, I want to inform our people that our July 30 inauguration stands. I will be at the fore-front. All Biafrans, wherever they are, are requested to be at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu for the occasion.

No one should entertain any fear because we have the backing of the United States and Israel,” he claimed.

On his ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen, Onwuka said that “they have until the night of July 29 to leave Biafra land. I’m closing down Lokpanta in Abia state and any of such places in Biafra land.

“Similarly, Ruga cannot be said to be suspended, but abolished. No such word should be mentioned again in Biafra land.

It should be limited to 12 states in the North,” he added.

The Department of Petroleum Resources has sealed 13 petrol stations for non -renewal of licenses and under- dispensing of petroleum products to customers in Akwa Ibom state.

DPR Operations Controller in Eket, Tamunoiminabo Kingsley-Sundaye gave the figure on Tuesday at the end inspection and surveillance of filling stations in Eket metropolis.

He explained that one out of the 13 sealed filling stations was operating illegally without DPR operating license in the state.

“I will take under-dispensing of petroleum products very seriously because people should have what is equivalent to the product they buy,” he said.

Kingsley-Sundaye noted that the department was on a nationwide action to ensure that downstream oil and gas facilities adhere to guidelines, standard and regulations in the industry.

“The exercises we are embarking on now is going on in virtually all the states and all the offices of DPR are carrying out same action,” Kingsley-Sundaye said.

He said that the department would also check gas refilling plants, white depot gas and others to ensure that their operations comply with standard, safety and other environmental compliance.

The DPR official warned petroleum marketers to desist from selling products with DPR seals, saying that anyone caught would pay a fine of N2 million.

“We are involving robust media coverage so that the public will be aware of the actions DPR is taking and to give signs to others who are doing similar businesses in order to ensure that people do business according to the rules of the business.

“The department wants to give the public hope and assurance that the stations that pass through these rigorous tests, their products will be safe and their facilities will be safe for them to go and transact their dispensing businesses,” he said.

Witness confirms AbdulRazaq sat for WASSCE at tribunal Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

A classmate to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara state at the Government College, Kaduna, Mohammed Kabiru Yaro, on Tuesday told the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ilorin that the governor possesses a genuine and authentic West African Examinations Council (WAEC) certificate.

Yaro, an architect, added that Gov. AbdulRazaq is his bosom friend and that both of them and other members of the class sat for WAEC examination in June 1976 at the Government College in Kaduna, Kaduna state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in the March 9 election, Razak Atunwa are alleging that the business mogul-turned politician presented a forged WAEC certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before being cleared to contest the election.

During cross-examination by the All Progressives Congress (APC) counsel, Akin Olujimi (SAN), Yaro presented his original WAEC certificate in court for perusal, adding that “I have my own certificate obtained from that WAEC examination.”

He also revealed that during their time, WAEC would write their surnames in full and initialises other names, adding that “AbdulRahman, as we used to refer to him, was directly seated in my front and his serial number in WAEC was 199 while mine was 122. Based on what I know about the certificate of AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, he was very much qualified to contest the March 9 election.”

Olujimi later tendered the certificate of the witness as evidence. However, counsel to the petitioners, Kingsley Odey, asked to re-cross-examine the witness on his 1976 WAEC certificate adopted as evidence in the spirit of fair-hearing.

He said that “during the pre-trial session, parties were asked to present documents for identification, but AbdulRazaq (second respondent) did not present his WAEC certificate for identification. The presentation of such document today is a surprise to the petitioners.

Memo to APC: How not to run a party

Emmanuel Onwubiko

Since 2015, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has had the fortune of a life time to have produced the holder of the office of the president.

Mind you, whichever political formation that forms the central government in Nigeria, is by that fact, a global player following a combination of factors.

First, Nigeria is the country with the largest black population in the world and is a continental giant in terms of its pride of place in the setting up of the then Organization of African Unity (OAU) which gave birth to the current African Union.

Nigeria remains one amongst the few players around the world that contributed significantly to the gaining of self-governments in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

At a time that even the very influential world leaders such as United States of America and United Kingdom saw nothing wrong with supporting white apartheid regimes and white dominated rule in South Africa and Zimbabwe, Nigeria was a key liberating platform relied upon by the then black freedom fighters to wrestle political powers from the white minority regimes just as the strides made by Nigeria and others precipitated the granting of political independence to Zimbabwe in the 1980’s or thereabout.

Nigeria was a factor positively that shaped the emergence of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

But for systemic corruption that has kept Nigeria backwards, the country which is enormously endowed with mineral and human resources would have

been able to surmount the groundswell of absolute poverty that afflicts nearly 90 million of her populations.

These aforementioned factors have therefore positioned Nigeria as one of the most significant places on the planet earth which implies that whichever political party that forms the central government must be grounded ideologically and must be led by persons with proven records of integrity, credibility and persons who must be the type that would not tolerate the abuse of the fundamental and institutional tenets and laws that should guide the administration of constitutional democracy in line with global best practices.

Sadly, since coming to power up until now, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has remained a fractious bunch of unlike birds that are compelled to live together under one nest. The APC has become a nests of self-haters and a place whereby the members have engaged each other in unending intra-party crises of unprecedented scale.

The infightening assumed frightening scale since the former labour leader Mr. Adams Oshiomohole became the national chairman just before the last election.

The APC under Oshiomhole can be described as a house of commotion.

It would seem that the national chairman does not tolerate divergent opinions within the hierarchy and is known to have resorted to self-help measures to get at perceived rivals.

His closest followers like his publicity secretary seems to be following his dictatorial footsteps and has built his own spheres of influence.

Adams Oshiomhole has also fallen out

with some governors, former governors and even some of his fellow national executives to an extent that he activated and supervised the holding of kangaroo trials of such persons with independent opinions on how best to administer the ruling party even as these pre-determined but compromised trials have always led to the expulsion of these persons who are unhappy with the leadership style of the national chairman. The APC is becoming a party of zombies and anyone who tries to think rationally is looked upon as a rebel without a cause and must be dealt with summarily even against the constitution of the party which of necessity has a guarantee for fair hearing which is the major weltanschuung or Worldview (larger picture) of the Nigerian constitution.

Chief John Oyegun, a former governor of Edo state and former national chairman of APC has on many occasions accused the current national chairman of using sledge hammer to deal unduly with perceived independent minded members in a way that offends the constitution of the ruling party. Oyegun has specifically accused Adams Oshiomhole of waging war against Godwin Obaseki his successor in office of governor of Edo state because he (Obaseki) has refused to become the rubber stamp governor.

The deputy national chairman Malam Shuiabu who voiced an opinion asking Oshiomhole to resign for leading the party to record massive defeats to People’s Democratic Party in the governorship polls, was axed by Oshiomhole who deployed illegality to get even with this Deputy Chairman for daring to call him out.

The national chairman has watched

as his national publicity scribe also descended on the national vice chairman (north) of APC Inuwa Abdul-Kadir (SAN) and has purportedly expelled him even when the man had gone to the Sokoto state high court to challenge the petition against him sent to the national secretariat from the Sokoto state branch.

The hasty announcement of his expulsion was meant to impose a fait accompli on the court which is already adjudicating on the same subject matter. This is certainly unconstitutional and definitely not how to administer a political party.

The issues around the purported expulsion of the vice national chairman of APC are linked to the demand for retraction of a defamation of his character which the vice chairman of APC Malam Inuwa Abdul-Kadir sent to the national publicity secretary of APC Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu who as we stated has made himself a power broker in APC by hook or crook.

Abdul-Kadir had written thus: “My attention had been drawn by several persons to statements credited to you in the course of making a rejoinder to a personal letter written by the Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (hereinafter referred to simply as the Party), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole”.

This certainly is not how to run a party. These self inflicted infighting and disputes are unnecessary and constitute grave distraction to President Muhammadu Buhari. The President who is the leader of APC should play his objective fatherly role by calling the National chairman and the National Publicity Scribe to order.

Of herdsmen, political killings and government’s ineptitude

Aliykhal Lanre

Since democracy returned to Nigeria in 1999, the country has witnessed a few unresolved political assassinations. Consequently, several parts of the country today are convulsed in political intolerance leading to loss of lives as well as destruction of private and public properties.

The gun is beginning to rule and ruin our country. While some of the killings were discountenanced as ordinary murders, the timing of killings leaves no doubt that they were politically motivated. Actions by the government and law enforcement agencies to stem the ugly tide and find the killers of innocent souls were insufficient and ineffective.

Though, politics all over the world is about the canvassing of ideas that would make the electorates choose their leaders by ballot, recent developments tend only to promote hate, violence, killing, maiming and fear. Not only have politicians of opposing parties intolerant of each others, they endanger public safety as well, all at winning an elections at all cost.

Sadly enough, political leaders who should provide the needed education to their followers are not able to moderate their utterances. They are doing nothing to discourage the youths and others from reducing political activities to gunfights. It is a shame that politicians are now associated with plans to edge out opponents by all means possible. They are also careless about the peace and safety of the citizens they pretend to govern. These political jobbers forget that politics is not supposed to be robbery neither do nor die affairs.

It is worrisome that youths who should bring positive change to the practice of politics have allowed themselves to be used as tools and instruments to further endanger electioneering in Nigeria. Even when some have lost their lives in the

process, many still present themselves as sacrificial lambs. In every game there are rules, in politics too, but the apparent abuses that the authorities have decided to give blind eyes to, are now beginning to give politics, even democracy a bad name in Nigeria.

It was in searching for political limelight that some prominent political figures were killed including former Justice Minister and Attorney-General of the federation, Chief Bola Ige, then Marshall Harry, Funso Williams, Ogbonnaya Uche, Barnabas Igwe and his wife Amaka, Ayo Daramola and several others.

The astonishing aspect of the scenarios is that till date, those who killed these Nigerians have not been identified in order to bring them to book.

Even, those that have survived deadly political encounters now live in fear of attack by herdsmen, bandits and other terror groups. The recent killing of Baba Reuben Fasoranti’s daughter, Mrs. Funke Olakunrin by Fulani herdsmen was traumatic and shock to the entire Yoruba region, which are calling for more security attention in the country.

In whatever manner Olakunrin might have died, the fact still remains that she was killed and allegedly by herdsmen To even overlook the circumstances of her death, sidestep the tense reactions by the exasperated populace, and begin to meander logic through bush paths is moral cowardice.

It is very obvious that our society is gradually becoming an intolerable place, as different tribes across the country are building walls instead of bridges.

The various forms of discriminations, agitations, terrorism, killings, maiming, violence and political intolerance across the country has given rise to discord and fanning ember of disaffection among Nigerian on daily basis, are not ready

to tolerate one another especially when it involves power politics. The negative effects of violence and intolerance cannot be over emphasized. The need for peaceful co-existence irrespective of political and religious affiliation should be our watchword in this country.

Boko Haram, the extreme Islamic group is not ready to tolerate western civilization and other human beings who they see as infidels. The Niger/ Delta Militants and Avenger are seeing themselves as superior to other Militia groups while the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members are not ready to tolerate anything that has to do with Nigeria.

On the other hand, the Arewa youths have expressed their intolerance against the Igbo in the North. Some men of God are finding it very difficult to tolerate their fellow men of God due to envy and unhealthy competition. In the name tribalism, some tribes are busy killing themselves due to intolerance and tribalism.

When Benue state government passed into law the Anti-Open Grazing Bill, some people described it as a form of intolerance against herdsmen; while for the majority of the citizens, it is a welcome development, long overdue and the only way to safeguard their lives, property and farmlands.

Indeed, capitalism do contributes to the problem of political intolerance in this country, it has widen the gap between the poor and the rich. The rich are getting richer through siphoning of our resources while the poor are getting poorer. This has given rise to intolerance between the rich and the poor. The rich cannot send their children to public schools which, for them, are meant for the poor, they do send their children abroad during the election period, while the poor masses of the country would be

sending to kill, maim and foment trouble during elections. Those even sending on these risks errand do not think twice before embarking on such operation, with the token amount of money being expended on them during electioneering campaign.

The rich hardly approves any marriage between the poor and their rich children, they don’t even allow their children to mix up with poor children. When the rich are celebrating, attendance are usually strictly based on invitation. The rich hardly mingles with the poor. For them, birds of similar feather flock together.

Nevertheless, a tree cannot make a forest.

No one is an Island. We need each other to survive in this country. An African adage declares; “I am because we are and because we are therefore I am.” Tolerance is a courageous act. It takes courage to tolerate people, even when it is obvious that they do not meet our standard or expectations. Intolerance, on the other hand, is an act of cowardice. Show me a coward and I will show you a man that does not tolerate fellow human beings.

We believe the only solution to this killing of innocent souls and unhealthy development in this country is tolerance by all tribes across the country. It is time for all lovers of the truth to stand up and speak against intolerance, killings, maiming and violence which is building up and may spiral into more blood letting if we allow it continue without check. Discrimination and intolerance can never and ever solve our problems in this country. Our cultural, political and religious difference, notwithstanding, we need to tolerate one another because we belong to one entity and common human race. Tolerance is the only way forward! As St. Paul rightly wrote; “Tolerate one another and forgive one another; just as the Lord has forgiven you.”

Editorial Commentary NEWS

HIV/AIDS spread: Stakeholders advocate condom dialogue Some stakeholders have advocated for condom dialogue before sex among couples to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. They spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines an HIV/ AIDS Expanded Preventive Awareness Project, at Ijebu-Ode, Ogun.

The event was organised by Total Nigeria Plc and Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd., is in collaboration with its partners – NNPC/ NAPIMS, CCNOC, SAPETRO and Petrobas and the Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS (NIBUCAA).

According to them, studies show that the spread of HIV is more among spouses than commercial sex workers, as most spouses have sex without condoms with their partners, believing they are safe.

Mr James Gbenga of Sam Ade Royal Foundation, who collaborated with NIBUCAA for the programme, said: “Ijebu Ode has the largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the country.

“This is according to the 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS), a Federal Government survey on HIV/AIDS conducted in December 2018 / January 1, 2019.

“It was discovered that commercial sex workers do not have it because they are using condoms, they are well informed.

“The survey discovered that between husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, HIV keeps spreading. Why?’’ Gbenga explained that this is because of the “I trust my husband, I trust my wife’’ attitude.

“The African mentality is that anytime the husband comes, you can’t refuse him sex.

“There is no dialogue before or during sex; it is such that when he is ready, the woman has to be ready.

“It makes most of the women to be vulnerable of HIV/AIDS. “A spouse may be having unprotected sex with another sex partner who also has another sex partner and the cycle widens, thereby putting themselves at risk of contacting the disease.

“That is why we keep enlightening people that dialogue with your husband, wife on condom usage is very important.

“And if you are not using condom, make

sure you regularly run tests to know your status,’’ he said.

Gbenga told NAN that the aim of the programme, which included free HIV/ AIDS testing and counselling services, was to deliver a comprehensive and preventive health education.

According to him, this will ensure uninfected persons stay free of the epidemic, while already infected persons receive the necessary support through free HIV Counselling /Testing Services and referral to government established hospitals in their vicinity for treatment.

Also speaking, Mrs Mrs Bunmi PopoolaMordi, the Executive General Manager, Total Country Services, said that prevention is the watchword in the fight against HIV/ AIDS. According to her, “it is less expensive and less complicated to cure, indeed the only known cure’’.

She said that achieving an AIDS-Free generation would be possible with the required financial, political and selfless commitment from everyone.

She urged Nigerians, especially couples and sexually active persons, to regularly go for testing to know their HIV status.

Also, Dr Kevin Madu told NAN that while abstinence remains the best protection against Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV, condoms play a special role in combating the spread.

“Condoms protect against the sexual transmission of HIV; it has no known side effects.

“Also, since condoms also prevent pregnancy, couples can use them for dual protection against infection and unintended pregnancy; there should be more enlightenment on the benefits and appropriate usage of condoms.’’

Madu, however, said that HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluids, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk of a person who has HIV. “HIV can be spread by having sex or sharing injection drug equipment, such as needles, contact between broken skin, wounds or mucous membranes of an HIV infected person.

“It can also be got through the transfusion of infected blood,’’ he said.

Court remands man for alleged robbery, murder An Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Tuesday ordered the remand of one Shamsondeen Kuye, 25, who allegedly robbed a man with knife and stabbed him to death.

Kuye, who resides at No. 34, Tijani St., Iyana Ipaja, near Lagos, was arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, robbery and murder.

His plea was not taken.

Magistrate Mr Tolu Agbona, ordered that the defendant should be remanded at Ikoyi Prisons, pending an advice from the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions.

The prosecutor, Insp. Raphel Doney,

had earlier told the court that the defendant and others still at large committed the offences on June 3 at about 10.15p.m. at Alakuko in Agege, near Lagos.

He alleged that the defendant attacked and robbed one Peter ThankGod of his Samsung galaxy phone, valued at N170, 000 with a knife before proceeding to stab him severally in his abdomen and other parts.

The offences contravene Sections 223, 297 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The matter has been adjourned until Aug. 26.

OUR POSITION Out-of-school children and future leaders Nigeria with the current figure of 13.2 million out-of-school children occupies first position on the table of countries with the highest number of out-of-school children in the world certainly calls for sober reflection.

More worrisome is the fact that the figure instead of decreasing in the last few years is rather increasing. This statistics which represent approximately 20 per cent of the world’s population of such children is an alarming and ticking time bomb that will spell doom for the country if urgent steps are not taken by relevant authorities to address the situation.

We observe that governance in Nigeria has become a circle of family business where politicians secure the future of their children to the detriment of poor Nigerians.

Also, inadequacy of funding, lack of teaching tools and modern classrooms, poor numerations and the acute shortage of qualified teachers are some of the factors leading to the fall in the standard of education in Nigeria.

Recently, the Multiple Indication Cluster Survey report for 2016 (MICS 2016) revealed that out of the 11.5 million of out-of-school children in Nigeria, Northern states have the highest rate with an average of 69%.

The latest data MICS 2016 showed that out of the 11.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, 7.5.million (69%) are from the Northern part of the country while the North East has the largest number of out-of-school children followed by the North West.

With this number, Nigeria accounts for more than 1 in 5 number of out-of-school children globally and 45% of this number are from West Africa. Within the huge number of the out-ofschool children, girls are the majority especially in Northern Nigeria.

Education indicators for Northern Nigeria are however different from the Southern part of the country.

Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on producing children who are well prepared to take their right place in the society but unfortunately, a large number of Nigerian children are at risk of deprivations of the basic social amenities.

Most of these children are situated in the rural areas and hard to reach communities. Majority of them are living in conflict and communities under emergencies, and it has been difficult taking basic amenities to them. All children have the right to better life, an opportunity to survive,

develop and reach their full potentials without discrimination, bias or favouritism which cannot be over emphasised.

We also observe that the rising number of children engaged in street trading in our major cities is becoming a worsening menace. The problem is further exacerbated by rising poverty and general insecurity in the country. In the North, the ravaging insurgency has added to the problem.

If drastic measures are not taken to correct the situation, things would only get worse. Let us learn from France, Britain, Canada and other advanced countries which built the foundation of their countries and rapid technological advancement on good and quality education. It must be pointed out also that in these countries, teachers are amongst the best paid workers. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case in Nigeria.

Having failed to fund public education, the children of the poor are roaming the streets, hawking goods while the rich are educating their children in private schools at home and abroad. But to the detriment of the society, the abandoned children of the poor are being recruited to criminality by terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal gangs. The irony of the crisis is that a government, which claims that it lacks money to fund education is spending several billions of naira to fight insurgency, kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry.

We believe that an uneducated population will be locked in a cycle of poverty for their entire lives.

Additionally, these children could constitute the next generation of suicide bombers and militants.

We are of the opinion that it is high time the government and relevant stakeholders address the problem frontally. It is sad that government’s free education for all pupils up to the first nine years of schooling has not been fully implemented. There is the need to increase the percentage of the annual national budget that goes to education. Schools should be adequately funded and the enabling environment provided for teachers and support staff to deliver functional and effective education to the children.

We submit that the improvement of the classroom environment is key to lowering the growing figures of out-of-school children in the country. We also wish to state that teachers must not only be well trained, their welfare must be prioritised while the federal and state governments should muster the political will to adequately fund education.

A’Ibom monarchs to invoke curses on killers of soldiers Isaac Job, Uyo

Traditional rulers, leaders and indigenes of Inen clan where two soldiers were recently killed and an expatriate abducted in Akwa Ibom state have threatened to invoke curses on the criminals who perpetrated the crime.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Oruk Anam Local Government Area, the Clan Head in -Council of Inen Clan, Chief Johnson Obosi placed a death curse on those who carried out the criminal act and their collaborators while exonerating the community from any responsibility in the commission of the heinous crime.

He blamed the incident on hoodlums outside the local government area, stating that as a boundary community bounding other local government areas and Rivers state, the perpetrators were able to enter the community undetected and committed the crime.

The clan head explained that the community is willing to provide the necessary information needed to get to the bottom of the killing and kidnapping of the

foreigner, adding that it has been working with security agencies and government authorities in that regard since the incident happened.

Chief Obosi said the community is known for peace and pleaded with the state government not to discontinue with its development projects in the area, especially the road construction as the community was innocent of the crime.

He also appealed to the Inspector General of Police, Mohammad Adamu and the Commissioner of Police, Zaki Ahmed to reactivate the abandoned police post in the community with the necessary manpower and logistics to provide protective coverage for the community and its environs.

“This sad news shocked the fabric of our community and clan in general because for a long time, we have not had sporadic gun shots of such magnitudes. This episode which occurred in a commando style was not only mind- boggling, but devastating, causing panic and tension in our community.

“As we speak, some villagers have fled their places of abode to neighbouring

communities for fear of the unknown. The clan-in-council, leaders of thought and the entire Inen Community condemn and disassociate ourselves from this unfortunate incident and will be willing to lend support to the authorities to ensure the freedom of the expatriate.

“Our community is known for peace and tranquillity that characterises a typical African local setting. These neighbourhood infiltrators have again inflicted pains and agony on our community and the families of the departed soldiers. We sincerely appeal to them to give peace a chance in the larger interest of our good neighbourliness,” he stated.

Youth President of the community, John Adaedem said the incident took the community by surprise and exonerated the youth of the area from the crimes.

“The incident is a surprise to us. As youth, we are not involved in the incident.

We are willing to provide the necessary information to unravel the perpetrators and appeal to the government not to abandon us and the good work it has started here,” Adaedem pleaded.

Short News Air Peace plane in emergency landing at Lagos airport Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Passengers onboard escaped unhurt when an Air Peace flight from Port -Harcourt International Airport made a forceful landing at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

Our correspondent gathered that the Boeing 737 aircraft dropped from about 20 feet into the Lagos airport runway causing substantial damage to the plane’s front wheel.

The forceful landing led to the aircraft losing its front tyre.

As at the time of filing this report, the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) is investigating the cause of the accident and that it would issue a statement on the incident later.

Details of the incident are expected to be made known as soon as all concerned agencies working to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident complete their task.

RSG moves against illegal street trading, motor parks

The Rivers state government will today commence its war against illegal street trading and motor -parks as well as unauthorized mechanic workshops in its bid to return back the Port-Harcourt (Garden City), the state capital to its original status.

This was disclosed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, Dr. Samuel Eguma in an interview on Tuesday in Port Harcourt. He also added that the ministry would have commenced the exercise yesterday, but was halted for logistics reasons.

He said that “the exercise would have commenced yesterday because the three -week extension granted by the governor expired on July 21 and we’re to commence the enforcement on Monday, but for logistics reasons we’ll commence on Wednesday. Logistics like towing vans and where to park vehicles that would be towed from the enforcement exercise delayed the commencement.”

He therefore, advised all those doing their illegally businesses on the streets of the state capital to move away from the streets by renting shops or moving to a fenced environment because the state governor is poised to return back the Garden City status of Port -Harcourt.

Dr. Eguma added that “to show the seriousness government attaches to the exercise, the state governor yesterday sent an executive bill to the state House of Assembly to give legal backing to the exercise. Getting rid of illegal street trading and motor parks in Port -Harcourt is one of the governor’s pet projects.”

When asked if the state government was considering the pleas of commercial drivers and illegal street traders that the government should first provide alternative motor parks and markets because the existing ones in the state capital were inadequate for them, he said there were enough markets and parks in the state capital to absorb all traders and commercial drivers.

“I’ve visited the Mile 3 and Elekahia mechanic villages and I can assure you that there are enough spaces to accommodate these illegal roadside mechanic workshops. Work on the mechanic village in Iriebe in Obio/ Akpor Local Government Area is ongoing and would soon be completed for use.

Father of 5 falls from five-storey building, dies in Benin Titus Akhigbe, Benin A father of five yesterday died after falling from the lift of the five- storey building housing the Edo state High Court in Benin City.

The deceased, Moses Airiagbonkpa was said to have told his kinsmen at the court that he was going to ease himself after been told that the case was no longer going to hold for the day.

Narrating the sad incident, a kinsman, Johnson Obanor told the Daily Times that they are from Ugieowen Community in Oredo Local Government Area of the state and that they were having a court case that morning which was eventually, adjourned to a later date for hearing.

Obanor said having gotten that information from their lawyer, Moses (the deceased) decided to ease himself, but

failed to return, compelling them to mount a search for him.

“We came here this morning, the three of us and we entered the court and sat down.

We later discovered that the court is not sitting. So, before the arrival of our lawyer, when she came she went to the table to go and take a date.

“He got up and told us he wants to urinate and we told him to return early so that we can go home after the lawyer has taken a date. After taken the date, we waited for a long period, but he did not show up. So, we assumed he has gone downstairs to wait for us where we parked our vehicle.

“Then, I told the other man we should go to the parking lot to check if he is there, but unfortunately we did not see him. We sat down in the vehicle and tried to contact him, but he was not receiving his calls.

“We decided to search for him within the

premises and met a lawyer who asked us to join the crowd to climb the staircase.

“Sadly, we met our brother lying down on the floor and someone said he fell from upstairs. They traced the blood and found he got stuck thinking the place was a restroom,” he said.

Another distraught relative, Osasu Isoken, who was called on the phone to be briefed of the ugly situation, blamed the construction company for not putting a signpost, indicating danger on the site.

“I was at the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) when a brother of mine called me that Moses has fallen from the court.

“Then, I went upstairs to check and l found out that he got stuck in the lift. The man is a learned man and I believe he will know that the place is not in use if there was a signpost indicating danger, but there is nothing like that in there,” he said.

Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Tuesday directed top civil servants to meet him at the state’s school of special needs for their budget review meeting.

In what was a first in the state’s history, Gov. AbdulRazaq said he purposely scheduled the meeting for the school to let the top bureaucrats and government functionaries appreciate the need to allocate resources in manners that directly benefit the downtrodden in the society.

The governor had earlier visited the school a few weeks ago to listen to the teachers and inspect the facilities there and thereafter, apologized to the children and promising to quickly attend to their needs.

“Work has started, in line with our Iseya mantra. I’m sorry to drag you here; it is symbolic. This is necessary for you to understand that there are other people who have needs that we should meet. I want (the budget) to be more inclusive going forward,” he told the civil servants at the midyear budget review session in Apata Yakuba, a suburb of Ilorin, the state capital.

The meeting was attended by the Head of Service, Mrs. Susan Modupe Oluwole, chairman of the Kwara state Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS), permanent secretaries, directors and heads of various government departments and parastatals.

AbdulRazaq told the bureaucrats that bringing them to the school was to ensure that budgets are made to reflect the condition of the people and not a show of executive power.

“I’ve been here before and I know they have needs. The pupils here don’t have access to very basic needs. They don’t have light. They can’t read. This is a trend across the state. Our schools are in bad state. This is why we emphasise the need to get basic things running first.

“The budget should be realistic. We should bring things back to standard. So, bringing you here is to encourage you to feel the situation here. It is not impunity. It is for us to understand the terrible state of things.

It is to make you appreciate the situation here. I want you to appreciate the environment in which you work.

“We want to put basic things in place first before we move into big budget (projects). We will eventually embark on those (big) things, but we want to put basic things in place first,” the governor stated.

Short News Fayemi won’t compromise Ekiti condoles with police, Channels security, says Buhari campaign chief Lawan TV over killings Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti

Director General, Buhari/ Osinbajo Campaign Council in Ekiti state, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, has assured the people that the All Progressives Congress (APC)- led government of Governor Kayode Fayemi won’t compromise their well-being on the altar of politics.

Osinkolu stated that the statement credited to Gov. Fayemi that no portion of Ekiti land will be up for grabs by outsiders was made in good faith and in line with international best practices that government must provide adequate security and defend the territorial integrity of a state.

The APC chieftain specifically, debunked the claim by a chieftain of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Dr. Muhammad Junaid that Fayemi made the statement to score cheap political gains.

Junaid had in an interview with a major newspaper last week, stated that Gov. Fayemi expressed his views in such a harsh manner owing to his rumoured presidential ambition.

Countering Junaid’s claim in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday,

Osinkolu said Fayemi has re-jigged the state’s security architecture and embarked on sensitisation tour of the locals on the need to be security conscious among other several innovations he had initiated in a view to make the state safe.

He said he expects every right thinking Nigerian to commend Gov. Fayemi for being brave to speak out while others are maintaining deafening a silence, because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Osinkolu added that those criticising the governor were only exhibiting crass intellectual hollowness and lack in-depth knowledge of how a 20th century governance should be which he said can’t be anchored on political inclinations, but on facts and realities on ground.

“The kernel of any government is to secure its people and once it can’t discharge this pivotal duty, the citizens lose confidence and vote of no confidence carries weighty and scathing consequences in a democracy.

“In the last three months, more than five persons have been killed in Ekiti state by suspected herders.

The incidents happened in Iyemero, Orin, Ise and the night raid that was

carried out by suspected gun-wielding herdsmen along the Ipao -Oke Ako axis.

“Taking cognisance of these trending carnages, only a callous governor who lacks vision would keep quiet when those who brought him into office are being killed.

“The governor made it clear that he won’t fold his arms and allow his people to be over-run by bandits no matter their ethnic affiliations, while also preaching against self -help or tagging of any ethnic group as being solely behind the rising wave of insecurity in the land.

“Ekiti people brought Gov. Fayemi back into office because they knew he was administratively savvy to protect their lives and this he must discharge dutifully and zealously without fear or favour,” Osinkolu stated.

He commended Fayemi for reabsorbing over 300 civil servants that were illegally disengaged from the civil service between 2014 and 2018, saying this is another cogent way of fortifying the security of the state.

“When people are employed, they have been effectively put in the safety net and they are no longer susceptible to crimes like the jobless, so this is commendable,” the APC stalwart added.

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, has expressed profound sadness over the avoidable loss of lives in the violent clash between members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and security agents deployed to maintain law and order in Abuja on July 22.

Sen. Lawan expressed his condolences to the management of Channels Television on the tragic death of their reporter, Precious Owolabi, in the incident.

According to his media adviser, Ola Awoniyi, the Senate President said it is tragic that a brilliant life and professional prospect was abruptly cut short in a manner that diminishes us as citizens of a democratic nation.

He extended his condolences to the family of the late Owolabi, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) on the painful loss of their son, member and colleague.

Also, the Senate President sent his condolences to the family of Usman Umar and the police over the death of their son and deputy commissioner of police during the incident, just as he sympathized with the families of other victims of the tragic clash.

“The President of the Senate strongly condemns the habitual resort to violence by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria under the guise of the exercise of their rights to freedom of association and expression.

“Senator Lawan also deplores the excessive use of force by the security agents on the protesters,” the statement stated, just as he called on the security agencies to evolve a new approach for the peaceful enforcement of law and order even in the face of provocation.

Finally, the Senate President urged the federal government to find a speedy resolution to the agitation by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, within the context of the rule of law and national peace and security.

“All lawful options need to be considered towards avoiding carnage from needless confrontations of citizens with the security forces,” he added.

Fintiri urges Adamawa pilgrims to pray for peace, stability

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state has called on intending pilgrims from the state to dedicate a special day and time to pray for peace and stability of the nation while in holy land.

Gov. Fintiri made the call at the farewell reception for the intending pilgrims at the hajj camp in Yola.

The governor, who was represented by the Deputy Governor, Seth Crowther, said Nigeria needs special prayers for peace, stability and economic growth.

He warned the pilgrims to abide by the rules and regulations of Saudi Arabia and to avoid any action that can tarnish the image and integrity of their state and country.

In his address, the Emir of Mubi, Alhaji Abubakar Isa, advised the pilgrims to be good ambassadors while in the holy land.

“You are travelling to the holy land to perform one of the pillars of Islam (hajj), therefore, it is a big task on you to fear Almighty Allah and perform the worship as enshrined.

“You should organise and respect yourselves and avoid any act that can disgrace your country,’’ Emir Isa said.

Executive Secretary, Adamawa state Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Umar Bobboi, said all arrangements have been completed to transport the first batch of intending pilgrims from the state.

“Today, the first batch of 2019 pilgrims from Adamawa would be taken by air to Saudi Arabia. The total and final number of pilgrims from Adamawa to perform this year hajj is 1, 692,’’ Bobboi said.

Bauchi chief judge frees 12 awaiting trial prisoners Samuel Luka, Bauchi As part of efforts to decongest prisons in Bauchi state, the Chief Judge, Justice Rabi Umar has set free 12 prisoners awaiting trial who were remanded in various prisons located in Misau, Katagum, Azare, Jama’are and Ningi Local Government Areas of the state.

The chief judge, who was on routine visit to the prisons to review cases of awaiting trial persons in the five local government areas yesterday, lamented that some awaiting trial inmates were left to languish in prisons even for offences that are bailable.

Five of the six prisoners released at the Jama’are Medium Prison were charged with alleged witchcraft, a case which most times proves difficult to probe unless such person (s) voluntary admit to committing the act.

According to her, the sixth person released from the same facility was found to be mentally unsound.

Six other prisoners set free include two prisoners each in Misau and Azare, two in Katagum and Ningi who were accused of being unable to repay their debts ranging between N10, 000 - N25, 000.

Justice Umar also released two on bail at Azare Prison and ordered the transfer

of five other cases from the Upper Area Court 1 to Upper Area Court 11 over delay in the dispensation of justice.

She directed for the transfer of cases that are not within the jurisdiction of sharia courts to Bauchi for adjudication, as was the case of one Hussaini Sale in Katagum, who killed his brother and wounded his two wives and son.

The chief judge also frowned at the attitude of some sharia court judges who were notified of her visit to the prisons to enable them shed light on cases of some awaiting trial persons, but failed to turn-up, thereby, preventing her adjudicating and reviewing more cases at the various prisons visited.

Kasara Chukwuma, Lagos In a move to reduce the high rate of foreign medical trips by Nigerians, Lagoon Hospitals has unveiled its newly acquired state-of-the-art medical equipment aimed at offering quality healthcare services to Lagos residents and beyond in line with international best practices.

The ultimate aim of the ultra- modern facility according to the management of the hospital is to ensure that the country has a more efficient and quality service delivery in the health sector.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony held in Ikoyi, Lagos, the Chief Medical Director of Lagoon Hospitals, Dr. Jimi Coker, said the hospital in its quest to utilize latest technology in providing quality healthcare services to patients, made significant investment in acquiring modern equipments for its urology, neurosurgery and the dialysis centre at its Ikoyi facility.

Dr. Coker, who is also the chief of surgeon of the hospital, noted that the hospital’s choice to invest massively in the new technology was borne out of the need to fill the gap in the country’s healthcare sector.

“It is a strategic decision by our hospital with the aim to reduce medical tourism, especially the number of Nigerians leaving the country to seek such medical treatment abroad.

“The number of Nigerians leaving the country to seek such medical treatment abroad continues unabated with up to $1 billion lost revenue to the Nigerian economy annually.

“Our story at Lagoon Hospitals dates back 33 years ago and it has always been our mission to break new grounds within the medical profession. Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to delivering the highest standard of healthcare to all Nigerians and from Apapa, we have expanded our operations to Ikeja, Victoria Island and Ikoyi.

Court convicts 4 internet fraudsters

The corpse of a Corps member, Precious Owolabi who was killed during the Shi’ite and Police clash in Abuja leaving the morgue.

Supreme Court strikes out 20 pre-election appeals Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Supreme Court in the last two weeks has either dismissed or struck out not less than 20 pre election appeals brought before it for lacked of jurisdiction.

The appeals were mainly from candidates of the majority ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and its main opposition ,the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who were contending the outcomes of primary elections held in October 2018 and wanted the court to upturn court of appeal decisions.

Some of them who were lucky to have been favoured by the trial courts and the appeal court, woefully failed to convince the panel of justices of Supreme Court the court has jurisdiction as the issue of apex court jurisdiction were being raised so moto in view of the Fourth Alteration to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended.)

The provision cut short plans of lawyers and politicians who drags cases in court until the term of elected candidate runs out .Specifically, the law in question is Fourth Alteration to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which prescribed 14 days for an aggrieved persons on pre election cases to initiate a legal action in court It also prescribed 180 days for pre election cases that were instituted at the trial courts to be determined and 80 days for the appellate

courts .

The alteration also specifically mentioned events, ,decisions and publications which may give rise to grievances , for examples the date of primary, announcement of election results, publication of names of candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), court judgments etc Unfortunately, most of the appellants have either implored technicalities or sought to shield the actual date their grievance arose.

But documented evidence such as letter of complaint, dates on election result sheets most often exposed them.

Like one of the justices on the panel that sat on Tuesday observed while pointing out the date grievance arose on an appeal filed

by Otobrise John Omawuyowvi against the Independent National Electoral Commission and others , “an appeal letter to a political party’s appeal panel is a grievance procedure”, showing that grievance had arisen.

So any one instituting a pre election suit in future must take note of when his or her cause of action arose if the suit must survived the jurisdiction text created by Fourth Alteration to the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 ( as amended).

Among the appeals that failed the text of jurisdiction were the two appeals filed by Ned Nwoko challenging Senator Peter Nwaoboshi pre- lection of October 2, 2018 for Delta North Senatorial District which both of them among others contested.

The apex court struck out the two appeals

for lack of jurisdiction.

In a unanimous decision , the apex court said that the originating summons filed by Ned Nwoko on 11 December 2018 at the Federal High Abuja was incompetent and that the trial court judge was therefore in error as the incompetent process had robbed the court off its jurisdiction .

Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Inyang Okoro stated that “ the originating summons is incompetent , judgment of the trial court is without jurisdiction” “This court has raised the issue of jurisdiction so moto (on its own) in the light of section 295(8) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended ) as to when the cause of action arose.”

The appellant and indeed all parties agreed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) declared Sen. Nwaoboshi winner of the primary election on 2nd October 2018 and that the declaration set off the action taken by the appellant.

“The appellant (Nwoko ) was aggrieved on 2nd October 2018 when the result was announced” justice Okoro held He said that the argument by Nwoko ‘s lawyer that the cause of action was a continuous injury did not fly at all in the light of the Fourth Alteration to the Constitution.

The amendment provide that pre election matters should be filed within 14 days when the action ,event and decision took place, in the instant case the appellant went to court on 11th December 2018.

Anayo’s journey to prison started when the Enugu State government petitioned the EFCC alleging fraudulent transactions traced to him.

The State Executive had on May 3, 2017 directed that the May, June and July 2017 pension/salaries of the state pensioners and three other agencies of the state government be paid by cheques after physical verification.

However, at the end of the verification exercise, it was revealed that the convict who was an Ad-hoc staff for the verification exercise, in charge of the system computing the names of the verified civil servants in the state, conspired and used the bank accounts of three fake pensioners: Ngene Patrick Somtochukwu, Ani Ifeyinwa and Patience Christian Chimezie, domiciled in Fidelity, Stanbic IBTC and

First banks respectively to divert funds meant for the pension and salaries of the civil servants in the 17 local government areas of Enugu State.

One of the counts reads: “That you, Akpudili Christian Anayo sometime in June 2017, at Enugu State within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Enugu State stole the sum of N5,034,435 (Five Million Thirty Four Thousand, Four Hundred And Thirty Five Naira) only, through Christian Chimezie Patience, Fidelity Bank account, property of the Enugu State government pension Board and you thereby committed an offence stealing contrary to Section 342 of the Criminal Code Law of the Enugu State, Cap. 30, Revised Laws of Enugu State, 2004 and punishable under Section 353 of the same Law”.

Court jails man 6 years over N13m pension fraud Andrew Orolua, Abuja An Enugu State High Court, has sentenced Akpudili Anayo to six years imprisonment for his unlawful roles in a N13 million fraud.

Justice K.I. Okpe of Enugu State High Court convicted Anayo on charges bordering on conspiracy, impersonation and stealing.

The Enugu Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), had charged Anayo with the offences following fraudulent transaction traced to his account.

He had on April 8, 2019 pleaded “guilty” to the six counts preferred against him when he was arraigned, and he was accordingly convicted.

The Economic and financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, secured the conviction of four internet fraudsters: Tosan Ogbe, Onajite Tosan Ejivwo, Abdulmumin Saidu and Karo Ijire before Justice Muawiyah Baba Idris of Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) High Court, Nyanya, Abuja.

Ogbe, Ejivwo and Saidu were prosecuted on a one-count charge, bordering on fraudulent inducement, contrary to Section 320(b) and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code Law of the Federation, 1990.

They all pleaded guilty to their separate one charge.

Following their plea, the prosecution team led by H.M Muhammad informed the court that both the prosecution and the two defence counsels that consist Adaje Abel and David Agbane have entered into a plea bargain agreement and urged the court to convict and sentence the defendants base on the terms of the agreement.

The two defence counsels, however, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy.

They separately told the court that the three defendants were remorseful and have regretted their actions, adding that they were first time offenders who should be given a second chance to turn a new leaf.

Justice Idris convicted the defendants, pursuant to the plea bargain agreement and ordered that they be remanded in prison custody pending sentencing on July 30 adjourned date.

Ijire was, however, convicted on a different matter.

He faced a three-count charge, bordering on fraudulent inducement, cheating and impersonation, which are contrary to Section 320 of the Penal Code Law, Cap 532, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria and punishable under Section 322 of the same Law. One of the charges reads, “That you Karo Ijire sometime in 2019 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, fraudulently induced one Clarisa Hosino, a citizen of the United States of America to deliver the sum of $1000 (One thousand United States Dollars) via Western Union to you and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320 of the Penal Code Law, Cap 532, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under Section 322 of the same law.”

He pleaded guilty to all the charges.

Following his plea, the prosecution led by J. Saidu and Maryam Ahmed Aminu informed the court of a plea bargain agreement between it and the defence team, and urged the court to convict the defendant in accordance with the agreement.

“We have filed a plea bargain agreement before the court on 23rd July, 2019, signed by both parties. May I humbly adopt this agreement and urge this honourable court to convict and sentence the defendant based on the terms agreed on the plea bargain,” Aminu told the court.

The defence counsel, Lady Rose Nmbata, however, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, noting that the defendant has regretted his action and has promised to be a good citizen, adding that he was a first time offender and have never been convicted of any crime.

Justice Idris convicted Ijire as charged and ordered that he be remanded in prison custody, pending his sentencing on the July 29, 2019 being the next adjourned date

Controversy trails armed Miyetti Allah vigilante group operations in Ondo Operations of an alleged armed Fulani vigilante group in Ondo State, have become a controversy on the social media, following an encounter earlier with a human right lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, even as the state Police Command denied the group existence in the state.

Speaking on the development, the State Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, Femi Joseph, said the command was not aware of the existence of any armed vigilante group in the state.

He said as part of efforts to encourage community participating in the security of their environment, the state police command established a synergy between the local vigilante in various communities with the police in their areas.

He, however, said the local vigilante are not allowed to carry arms but said they are only to help the security operatives in the area in intelligence gathering.

He said: “I don’t know any vigilante group with identity cards and we don’t allow these vigilantes to carry arms. This is a kind of community policing and for the local people who reside in an area to work hand in hand with our men on the ground. We will surely investigate this.”

Ajulo, while speaking with some journalist , said he ran into some armed vigilante group members of Fulani extraction on the road of Akoko area of the state, and accosted them and challenged them on why the move about with guns.

NNPC signs $3.15bn financing for OML 13 Michael Ajayi The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says it has signed a $3.15 billion Financing and Technical Services Agreement between Sterling Oil Exploration and other partners for the development of Oil Mining Lease (OML) 13.

The corporation disclosed this in a statement signed by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ndu Ughamadu, on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said the other partners are Energy Production Company Limited (SEEPCO) and the exploration and the production arm of NNPC, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).

He said the move was part of the quest by the NNPC to increase the nation’s crude oil reserves and daily oil production to three million barrels per day.

OML 13 is 100 per cent owned by the NPDC and is located in the Eastern axis of the Niger Delta covering a total area of 1987km².

He said the Group Managing Director (GMD) of NNPC, Mele Kyari, had described the funding the arrangement as “a game-changer to oil and gas project financing in Nigeria”.

He expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for approving the transaction, adding that OML 13 held strong potential both for the petroleum industry and the nation’s economy.

Explaining the terms of the

financing, Mr Kyari disclosed that the federal government is expected to earn over $10.2 billion in royalties and taxes from the project over the next 15 years.

Also, NNPC would earn over five billion dollars after payment of the entire financing obligation.

The GMD advised the management of NPDC to develop a strong community engagement strategy to forestall any crisis that could hinder operations.

He disclosed that the acreage boasts of over 926 million stock tank barrels (mstb) and 5.24 trillion cubic feet (tcf) respectively of oil and gas reserves, adding that the Financing and Technical Services Agreement was for a period of 15 years.

DMO lists second N100bn FGN Sukuk on NSE Motolani Oseni The Debt Management Office (DMO) of Nigeria on Tuesday listed the second N100 billion Sukuk of the Nigerian government on The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

The seven-year Sukuk was raised at a rental rate of 15.7 per cent, a 73-basis point discount from the 16.47 per cent rental rate of the maiden issuance listed in April 2018.

Sukuk bonds are structured to generate

returns to ethical investors without infringing on the Islamic principles which forbid interest payments. It represents an ownership interest in the asset to be financed rather than in a debt obligation.

According to the DMO, the aim of the FGN Sukuk is to promote financial inclusion and deepen the investor base of FGN securities.

It will be deployed to financing infrastructure, in keeping with the Nigerian government’s commitment to bridging the infrastructural gap across the country, a statement by the NSE said

Tuesday evening.

Commenting on the Listing, Head, Trading Business Division, NSE, Jude Chiemeka, said the NSE is poised to expand its multi-asset hub.

“At the Exchange, we believe enhancing access to capital for the Federal Government and the private sector is key to national economic growth,” he said.

“This is the motivation behind our commitment to promote and support the growth of the debt market in Nigeria. Our efforts are geared towards expanding the NSE’s position as the multi-asset

hub, creating ample possibilities for our key stakeholders, while delivering a transparent and liquid market to investors.”

He added that the emerging and frontier markets can expect greater traction in their quest to continually unlock dormant pools of capital.

“This listing is particularly important in scaling development for these economies characterized by daunting growth in infrastructure and also has a strong bias for Islamic Finance,” he added.

AfCFTA: Put measures in place to realise benefits, CBN tells FG Joy Obakeye

CBN confirms licencing two commercial banks, one non-interest bank Motolani Oseni The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has confirmed licencing two new commercial banks and one non-interest bank.

The apex, in a list of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and financial holding companies operating in the country as at July 19, 2019, posted on its website on Tuesday showed that CBN had issued a commercial banking licence with national authorisation and a commercial banking licence with regional authorisation to Titan Trust Bank Limited and Globus Bank Limited respectively.

The list also indicates that the regulator has issued a Non-Interest Banking licence with regional authorisation to TAJ Bank Limited.

With this development, the

number of commercial banks with national authorization (having a capital base of N25billion and allowed to operate in all states of the federation but barred from having off shore operations) now stands at 11, while the number of commercial banks with regional authorization (having a capital base of N10 billion and restricted to operate within a geographical scope of a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 contiguous states) now stands at three.

Similarly, the licensing of TAJ Bank Limited as a noninterest bank with regional authorisation means that there are now two noninterest banks operating in the country. However, the first such bank licensed by the CBN, Jaiz Bank, has a national authorisation, meaning it can

operate in all states of the federation.

The CBN had in June 2011 announced a minimum capital base of N10 billion for national Islamic banks and N5 billion for regional Islamic banks.

Specifically, the list shows that the country now has a total of 29 DMBs consisting of eight commercial banks with international banking authorization (N50 billion capital base and allowed to have national and offshore operations), 11 commercial banks with national authorisation, three commercial banks with regional authorisation, two non-interest banks and five merchant banks with national authorisation.

According to the list, FBN Holdings Plc., FCMB Group Plc, FSDH Holding Company

and Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc makes up the four holding companies in the industry.

There is speculation that the licensing of the new banks is part of CBN’s efforts to attract new investments into the industry and boost financial inclusion in the country.

However, analysts point out that the industry is dominated

by Tier 1 lenders– First Bank, UBA, Guaranty Trust Bank, Access Bank and Zenith Bankwhich continue to dominate in terms of branch spread, deposit size, and loan issuance.

Besides, the recent the announcement by the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, that the apex bank was planning a fresh recapitalisation of the banks has sparked speculation that consolidation is looming in the industry.

PenCom pays N107bn to 313,468 contributors Micheal Ajayi The National Pension Commission has declared a total of N107.93bn paid to 313,468 contributors under the Contributory Pension Scheme that has temporarily lost their jobs.

Analysis by PenCom showed that out of the N107.93bn, the private sector accounted for 95.38 per cent of those who benefitted from the payments while the public sector accounted for 4.62 per cent.

The commission said in its first-

quarter report for the year that approval had also been granted for the payment of N4.51bn to 10,733 Retirement Savings Account holders who were under the age of 50 years, disengaged from work and unable to secure another a job within four months of disengagement.

The report read, “Approval was granted for payment of N4.51bn to 10,733 RSA holders who were under the age of 50 years and were disengaged from work and unable to secure another job within four months of disengagement.

“The cumulative total number

of RSA holders who were paid benefits for temporary loss of job was 313,468 people and they were paid a total of N107.93bn being 25 per cent of the balances of their RSAs as prescribed by the Pension Reform Act 2014.”

The report also said that the commission approved the payment of N4.28bn as death benefits to the beneficiaries of 1,586 deceased employees during the period, adding that this brought the total number of deceased employees from both public and private sectors to 55,820.

It said that the amount paid

during the first quarter moved the total payments of death benefits to N173.86bn However, it’s part of the Pension Reform Act of 2014 objectives to ensure that every person who has worked either in the public service of the federation, Federal Capital Territory, states and local governments or the private sector receives their retirement benefits as and when due.

The scheme ensures that workers in paid employment that lost their jobs and are unable to secure new jobs within a period of three months are entitled to 25 per cent of their contributions.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has asked the Federal Government to put measures in place to realise the benefits and full potentials of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement.

This was disclosed by the Governor of the apex bank, Godwin Emefiele, on Tuesday, while addressing journalists at the end of the two-day meeting of the monetary policy committee.

President Muhammadu Buhari in July signed the agreement at the African Union (AU) summit in Niamey, the Nigerien capital, becoming the Fifty-four of the 55 AU member countries signed onto the deal.

The CBN Governor said the monetary policy committee noted the need to resuscitate the moribund industries and improve key infrastructure in the country.

“The committee urged the FG to put in place measures to aid the economy in realising the benefits and full potentials of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA).

“It noted the need to resuscitate moribund industries in Nigeria and improve key infrastructure in order to strengthen the productive base of the economy, create job opportunities as well as boost exports.”

He added that the committee commended the positive development with regards to the West African common currency put forward by the CBN and FG. “The committee noted the positive development towards the creation of a common currency in the West Africa zone by January 2020 and commended the FG and CBN for putting forward, the initiative.

“The committee enjoined the bank to ensure that Nigeria is properly positioned to maximise the benefits of monetary integration.”

Edo is no colony of NASS, so no one can take over its Assembly - Ojezua Anselm Ojezua, a lawyer, is the chairman, Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in this interview with select journalists in Lagos, he speaks on the impasse in the state House of Assembly, the intervention of the House of Representatives and the position of Governor Godwin Obaseki on the crisis. PATRICK OKOHUE reports.

What is the real story behind the crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly?

It seems to me to be more of a question on how well are we managing our success in Edo State. As you know, this is the first time that we have recorded an absolute victory in the sense that all the seats in the state Assembly are for the ruling party, the APC. It has never happened before. With that as a background, whatever you see happening now will look more like a paradox. It is true that we are having issues in relation to the leadership of the house, but it does not amount to crisis, because Edo State is functioning, even the House of Assembly is functioning. We have a leadership in place, they are working. To that extent, there is no crisis. So, what we have is that the house has been inaugurated, leadership has emerged, some members are not happy with it and they are taking steps they feel is necessary to change what they cannot have. Some have gone to Abuja, they have been to court and as you can see they have also gone to the National Assembly. All that put together is to stimulate the prospect of a crisis but in Edo State, there is no crisis. If they’ve gone to court we subscribe to that, because that is what the law says, that should there be any disagreement that they can’t resolve on their own, they can seek redress in court. They shouldn’t resolve to selfhelp. Thankfully, all the parties are in court.

So, we await the court’s decision but as a party, we are also taking steps to seek reconciliation for our members in the house. If you recall, when the house was inaugurated there were nine members but today they are 12. There is a prospect that the number will increase. I think what has actually been an impediment to a peaceful political resolution is the intervention of the National Assembly. If their intention is to come and help us in Edo, I think they have somewhat compounded our problem.

How do you mean?

The threat that they will come and take over our state Assembly is being seen by the ordinary man on the street as an alien invasion of our state as if Edo State is a colony of some people in Abuja. That is the impression and we are having a hard time convincing them.

But some people believe that what is happening is like the hand of Esau but voice of Jacob. Those in this school of thought that averred that given the cordiality between Governor Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, this shouldn’t be happening in Edo State?

I agree with you that what is happening now should not happen. I think both of them have the responsibility to do the right thing.

Can you clarify insinuations that the APC National Chairman actually wanted to foist leadership on the Assembly?

I don’t have that information and I can’t say that I share a similar view. But you know when things like this are happening people are bound to speculate; it gives room for speculation. So, unwittingly we may have opened ourselves to all sorts.

their interventions dissipate, we will continue the process of reconciliation that we have started.

Ojezua What steps are you taking to co-opt the 12 lawmakers elect who are yet to be inaugurated to the Assembly?

We have been working with leaders of our party in parts of the state particularly leaders of those concerned that you mentioned. Don’t forget I said that we were recording some progress, three other members have been sworn-in to make the number 12. Let me say this, the day Prof Ihovbere moved his motion on the floor of the House of Representatives, two of those 12 lawmakers elect were actually at the airport waiting to come to Benin to be sworn in when they were informed that they should return because the National Assembly is coming to take over the state Assembly. So, they went back and I said, for me that was minus rather than a plus in terms of National Assembly intervention. So, I believe that when

Are you saying that the reconciliation process won’t commence again until the House of Representatives are completely off the picture?

You see, we don’t even believe that the National Assembly has any business in this matter. We don’t even believe that it is right for them to take steps. But you know that we are obliged to be polite to them when they come calling for very obvious reasons. So, we made all the facts known because if we had rebuffed them the tendency would have been to believe that we have something to hide. They have come and they have all the facts. What are the facts? That the seventh House of Assembly was inaugurated, that a leadership is in place and that they are actually functioning and that the matter is in court. With all that knowledge, what we expect them to report and to recommend is that in the light of all these facts they should seek political solutions and also watch the judicial pronouncement. They didn’t do that, rather they could not even wait for the National Assembly process to be completed before they went to town. Therefore they may have justified speculations in town arising from an audio where one of the member-elect was boasting that the matter has been resolved and that the Senate President and Speaker of the House have been told what to do. And three days after, they did which the boy said, though prematurely of their own processes.

That to my mind has compounded our problem rather than helping to resolve it. That is why I said when their energy is dissipated we will continue our reconciliation. We were on course before this. This thing you are seeing will be resolved. This is not the first time we are having issues in Edo State House of Assembly.

If the need arises, we will do anything we have to do to protect our independence in the state.

What is the truth behind the abduction claim of a lawmaker?

Politics, sometimes elicit drama and this is one case of that nature. If a man is kidnapped

We don’t even believe that the National Assembly has any business in this matter. We don’t even believe that it is right for them to take steps. But you know that we are obliged to be polite to them when they come calling for very obvious reasons. So, we made all the facts known because if we had rebuffed them the tendency would have been to believe that we have something to hide. They have come and they have all the facts.

and he is released, the next thing to do is to go to the police and make a statement and seek to prosecute his abductors especially when they are known. All that is part of the drama, but what I have told you is that 12 out of 24 have been inaugurated. There are others that are yet to be inaugurated and we as a party are working to see that everybody is complete as a family.

How is it that the party is in such a crisis especially when there is no opposition party within the state legislature?

One thing that is significant and for which I am particularly grateful is that since I made my statement several weeks ago, nobody has come out to say it is not true. Whether they agree or not, it’s a different kettle of fish. You know in politics you don’t seek 100 per cent, you seek a consensus and it is measured in terms of majority. So, in those meetings that I alluded to, there was a consensus and everybody signed off on it. They decided to go against the position of the party and we feel it should neither be tolerated nor condoned in the interest of the party because when you keep a First Aid Box, you don’t know who you are keeping it for.

Will the erring lawmakers be sanctioned by the party?

You know the first thing we need to do is to put peace in place and reconcile within the ranks of the party. I don’t think sanction will be the first way, as a matter of fact, it will be the last step after you have exhausted all avenues for reconciliation. The good news is that the house is inaugurated; they formed a quorum within their decisions. One peculiar attribute of parliament is that the constitution makes provision for 24 members, but at the moment we have 12 and so when you want to calculate a quorum, you are calculating it on the basis of 12, that is the peculiar nature of parliament. As far as we are concerned, there is no problem, unless a court of law, properly so-called, makes a pronouncement to the contrary.

What would be your message to the National Working Committee and the leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari?

I would rather not send a message to them through this medium, I have made my position clear. I honestly do not think they need to get involved in this. For some of them who have gotten involved, their involvement has not been helpful. I think it’s time for them to let go and allow us to handle the issue at home.

What is your message to the people of Edo State?

My message to them is to continue to live in peace, not to be worried about the so-called threat of an invasion. There would be no invasion against the people of Edo. Our state remains a sovereign part of Nigeria; we are a federating partner, we are not anybody’s houseboys. Edo is not a colony of the National Assembly or anybody’s of any entity. They shouldn’t worry at all. All these things playing out is politics and it will be resolved politically.

Don’t put hope on your parents’ inheritance, outgoing students charged

Outgoing students of Unique Group of Schools, Isheri-Magodo, Lagos have been warned not to rely on inheritance as any young man or woman that puts hope on property of his/her parents will end up destroying his/her life.

Addressing about 65 graduating students of the school for the 2018/2019 academic session, chairman of the event, Mr. Igbiti Friday, tasked them to work for their own riches, and not to depend on their parents’ riches.

He said as they leave the school, they are expected to strive to be the best at what they choose to do.

“Along your journey you will face obstacles but I want you to know you don’t have excuses to fail. The world you are going to face is not a bed of roses, it’s a wicked world, it’s a war front, there are obstacles, things that want to pull you down, things that will disturb you from getting to your greater height, those things you must know them and stop them” he said.

The chairman highlighted some obstacles that can stand on their way of success such as living life without God, saying their failure to accept God into their lives leads to self destruction.

Other obstacles, according to him, are failure to follow the path of growth, living without a purpose and vision, as he stressed that anyone that lives without purpose or vision will end up going nowhere.

He also warned them against alcohol and drugs, wrong association, sexual immorality, laziness and oversleeping.

The guest speaker at the valedictory service, Mr. Churchill Udoh, who spoke on the topic, ‘The Pressure that Comes with Life,” said the pressure and challenges of life have never been an entire friend to mankind.

“Just like the word civilization and technology have taken over mankind, the pressure have come and have also erupted on humanity as a result of this development can only be measured in geometrical country”, he said.

Udoh remarked that the pressure that comes with adolescent and puberty stage of a human is so enormous that it creates a battle line for a future that will be a success or failure.

He said inability to manage life’s pressure could lead to distraction and loss of self confidence and eventually cause emotional trauma.

To the graduating students, he urged them to be responsible, avoid bad company because this will corrupt them and push them away from their purpose in life “Pick excellence, choose to be a leader, be the light of the world, the sugar and the salt”, he said.

Vice Chairman, Unique Group of Schools, Dr. Martins Agwogie, urged the students to be good ambassadors of Unique Group of Schools and should not forget the values they have accumulated over the years while in the School.

Chief Executive of the school, Mrs. Esther Ayere-Alatishe, appreciated parents of continuous support and proper upbringing of the children kept in her care while charging the outgoing students to contribute positively to the development of Nigeria with the values the school has inculcated in them.

Highlight of the event was presentation of awards to students who excelled in the external examinations.

Make investment in education a priority, Oyedepo tells FG As 215 students bag First Class at Covenant University Stories: Esther Taiwo Chancellor of Covenant University, Otta in Ogun State owned by Living Faith Church, Dr. David Oyedepo, has emphasised the need for Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria and indeed the entire continent to deploy more resources to fund education to drive and achieve meaningful growth and development.

Oyedepo said this at the institution’s 14th Convocation while dismissing as a baseless notion of the Blackman as a lesser being to other races. He urged Africans to rise and begin to toe the path of greatness for their people, saying that second fiddle roles could be done away with through deliberate investment in the education sector.

Oyedepo said that the only way to develop capacities for learning and national development in Nigeria and other African countries was to make investment in education a priority.

“Until one is transformed through education, he or she cannot transform his environment, society or nation, ” he said.

The chancellor noted that the only way that Nigeria and other African countries could have equal rights like other great nations and not be seen as second class citizens was through investment in education.

A total of 215 students of the University were conferred with First Class degrees out of a total of 1,580 that graduated for the 2018/2019 academic session during the ceremony which took place at the University Chapel in Otta, Ogun State.

The number comprised of 215 first class honours, 668 second class upper honours, 415 second class lower, nine in third class and 239 post-graduates.

Miss Ajia Motunrayo, a student in the Department of Petroleum Engineering, College of Engineering, emerged the best student with a Cumulative Grade Point Average( CGPA) of 5.0.

This was the first time that the institution would be attaining such a feat, the closest being the 2016 convocation where Master Winner Deji-Folutile from

Department of Architecture had 4.97.

According to the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Aaron Atayero, in his address, he noted that education is a powerful weapon which can be used to change the world and achieve sustainable economic growth, especially, on the African continent. ”The institution is committed to supporting and encouraging research and development works aimed at providing innovative solutions to societal problems and enhancing the quality of life as enunciated in the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) agenda ,” he said.

The Vice Chancellor said that Covenant University had continued to provide quality education by providing lifelong learning opportunities through granting public access to resources of the institution’s Centre for Learning.

Atayero also said that the institution’s curriculum was designed to raise a new generation of leaders who would be spiritually and mentally equipped to restore the dignity of the blackman.

In his keynote address, Dr. Monisoye Afolabi, a former Director of Business Environment, USAID Trade Hub, Accra, Ghana, said that Africa was likely to have more population than China and India with time.

He said the continent should take advantage of its population and invest in education.

Afolabi stressed the need for African countries to spend 30 per cent of their annual budgets on the education sector in order to ensure self reliance.

“This is when education can take its rightful place in the development of Africa .” he said.

Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, the Executive Secretary of National Universities Commission (NUC), said that the commission would do everything possible to support the 173 universities in the country.

Rasheed also said that the commission would support innovative and flexible programmes across the tertiary institutions.

The NUC scribe commended

Covenant University for its excellent performance and its implementation of the strategies designed by the commission for universities in the country.

While delivering the convocation lecture earlier, Prof. Peter Okebukola, a former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission(NUC), called on the Federal Government to work toward providing a world class learning environment for tertiary institutions in the country.

In the lecture titled “World Ranking Parameters: Matters Arising for African Universities”, Okebukola noted that the nation’s tertiary institutions and those on the African continent were poorly ranked on global league tables as a result of several factors.

He listed the factors to include low investment in research enterprise, research capacity deficits, inefficiencies in the system, sharp practices in research and poor data collection and management capabilities among others.

“There is an urgent need for greater investment in education by the Federal Government and other African countries in order to be ranked as one of the best world class universities. ” They also need to provide learner friendly infrastructure by improving investment in research that will strengthen institutional and human research capacities,” he said.

Okebukola urged the Federal Government to address inefficiencies in the system so as to attract international staff and students.

The don also stressed the need for the Federal Government to encourage national ranking of universities in order to prepare the ‘local for the global.’

He canvassed the need to avoid the shame of low ranking and produce better quality graduates to drive national economics, enhance prestige of the university and attract more students and international scholars.

Okebukola further said the ability of Nigeria and other African countries to create an enabling environment for their universities to thrive would lead to national development.

The founder of Lagos State University, Alhaji (Dr.) Lateef Kayode Jakande, has been honoured by the University as he turned 90 on Tuesday with a lecture titled “Lateef Kayode Jakande: A Phenom of Administration in Lagos State.”

Alhaji Jakande, who was a former Governor of Lagos State, founded the University in 1983.

The Chairman Governing Council, Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo, represented

by Hon. Sunny Ajose, said LASU was founded during the administration of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, adding that it is therefore expedient that the management celebrate his 90th birthday with a Lecture delivered by Prof. Hakeem Danmole.

“To immortalise this distinguished personality who has remained relevant in the scheme of things, the Council has decided to name an infrastructure in his name which is the longest road that leads to the campus”, he said.

The road that runs through the University Main Campus, from the Main Gate down to the International School and beyond will henceforth by the decision of the University Governing Council, be known as Lateef Jakande Road.

Dean, Faculty of Arts, Prof. Adeniyi Harrison, said the University appreciates the foresightedness of the nonagenarian in establishing the University.

He said the Faculty of Arts would be honouring Alhaji Lateef Jakande with an Annual Lecture ‘Lateef Jakande Annual Lecture’ in his celebration.

In his speech, the Vice Chancellor, Prof.

Olanrewaju Fagbohun, said: “If we are asked today to mention one pillar behind the Lagos State University, all of us will be unanimous in mentioning Alhaji Lateef Jakande, A. K. A Baba Kekere”.

Fagbohun said this is because in 1983, Jakande had the opportunity to cast a stone across the waters and he did that so well, adding that everyone is a beneficiary of that vision.

“Jakande conceived and signed into law the bill that brought the creation of LASU. He saw ahead. The creation of LASU has positively impacted the lives of many. Today, we all can eloquently attest to the fact that your strategy worked”.

“From just three faculties, 55 Admin Staff and 37 Technical Staff, and 375 students admitted, the institution has grown into three major campuses, Ojo, Epe and Ikeja. Today, our institution is able to boast of 7 faculties, 4 Schools and 1 college. We are also able to boast of many Directorates”, he said.

The Vice Chancellor also stressed that every year, the University admits over 6,500 students from just 375 students in its first year.

“Think about it, if this Genius of ideas did not conceive of LASU, what would have become the fate of these ones? You are revered as an example of Public Administration”.

“We at LASU count ourselves privileged that we are able to celebrate with you today. We rejoice with you and your family”.

“Happy birthday to a man who truly made a difference in public service. Your name will continue to resonate in the annals of our University”, Fagbohun remarked.

Guest lecturer at the event, Prof Hakeem Danmole, said many governments have ruled Lagos State but none has touched the lives of the downtrodden like Jakande.

“Here is a man who has used his life to serve Lagos and Nigeria. The landmark achievements of Baba’s administration is yet to be equaled by any administration in the state; he was an administrator par excellence, a space builder and a front line politician “, he said.

Making Lagos work again

VOL. 3

NO. 998

N100

Times Guest Columnist

By Carl Umegboro

The centre of excellence, Lagos in southwest arguably did backslid from its position in 2015 where the then governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) impressively left the state. Without a doubt, Fashola’s exploits during his tenure compellingly fetched his portfolios in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as trinity minister immediately after handing over to his successor, Akinwunmi Ambode. During Fashola’s tenure, residents were overwhelmed to such an extent of enthusiastically paying taxes owing to convictions that the state was synchronizing with Fashola’s slogan “Eko o ni baje”.

No doubt, gigantic projects particularly some necessary overhead bridges to address traffic situations alongside inner roads constructed by Ambode’s administration are commendable. However, the state honestly didn’t sustain the momentum from Fashola’s administration. For example, scores of roads in the state are presently eyesores to an extent that some motorists now pack and use commercial buses.

Disgustingly, the state metamorphosed to refuse dump arena after Fashola’s exit. Ambode’s first gaffe was the cancellation of monthly environmental sanitation exercise in place which restricted movement for merely three hours on last Saturdays, without any alternative scheme to address sanitation. That alone is abysmal error. Ambode’s government had anchored its action on a court judgment that declared the exercise unlawful and an infringement to freedom of movement enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Strangely, the state government without wasting time comfortably adopted the verdict despite the critical implications particularly hygiene that is sufficient to set aside the judgment. Reports show that the state government appealed but practically unserious by not filing their brief. To restrict movements for such a reasonable time in a month for health reasons cannot fall within the context of infringement to peoples’ movements. There is a doctrine

of necessity for remedying lacunas. For example, under national security, movements are always restricted during general elections as well as presidential movements despite Sections 35, 38 and 40 of the Constitution.

Logically, if there is a right to life which can be indirectly threatened by dangerous sicknesses resulting from unhealthy environments, arguably, a public policy to prevent such hazards within a reasonable time aptly cannot amount to infringement of right to movement. The World Health Organization (WHO) report shows that one-fourth of deaths across the globe are attributed to unhealthy environments.

Besides, every society grows and presently, governments shouldn’t responsibly leave general hygiene to citizens’ discretions.

Another critical issue is bad roads. In fact, those that shuttle from Badagry axis to the Island are completely cut-off due to bad roads. Not even officials of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) are on sight in these critical areas. The stresses motorists and commuters go through daily are better imagined than experienced. To describe the people as isolated or forsaken is no hyperbole. All these are convincingly traceable to not adopting continuum in government accordingly.

Had Ambode conscientiously continued with his predecessors’ policies with constructive modifications as Fashola did after succeeding Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, believably, Lagos will be ahead of where Fashola left it.

Thus, these episodes present big lessons to the present governor, Babajide SanwoOlu. The new administration thus, faces critical tasks to put the state back to shape.

To be straightforward, life in Lagos presently is getting more horrifying and traumatic with phobias. The situation requires state of emergency principally on refuse disposal, roads rehabilitation and traffic management. Similarly, the rate of area boys’ excesses in Lagos roads grew exceedingly during Ambode’s tenure than it was when he took the mantle of office from Fashola. These areas must be critically addressed.

Now, over to federal government.

The high population in Lagos is undeniably, worrisome.

Imagine if military junta of General Ibrahim Babangida didn’t thoughtfully relocate the federal capital territory to Abuja, how would federal government effectively be operating from Lagos including presidential movements alongside the great workforce?

In a nutshell, the seaport calls for a state of emergency and transcends temporary decongestion. Sensibly, having a functional seaport only in Lagos is a big blunder. There’s urgent need to spread out the seaports to other geopolitical zones. If not, the trailers-packing, traffic crisis in Lagos roads and excessive population may never be subdued no matter the efforts deployed.

For example, by the present poor arrangement, indisputably, all clearing and forwarding agents, haulage workers in the country alongside their families are all resident in Lagos. Likewise their trailers and trucks in numbers.

These numbers alone are in high fraction and sufficient to create catastrophe let alone other seaport related businesses. By decentralizing the seaport, other zones will instantly pick up economically as scores of people will relocate to other areas and operate through other seaports; thereby, robotically depopulate Lagos to be a standard and viable state.

Beyond that, job opportunities will abound in all those new areas.

Typically, in any system where economic activities are concentrated in one direction, the congestion being experienced in Lagos environs must follow. Ditto on unemployment ratio as too many people would be queuing for few employment opportunities.

But if decentralized, job opportunity will multiply correspondingly to number of seaports, and government agencies alone will likewise absorb a good number across all their operational stations.

Thus, while the palliative measures by the governments are estimable, the ultimate panacea remains to decentralize the seaport.

Gernot Rohr wants NFF to decide his future Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has resolved to lead the Eagles to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations if discussions of contract extension goes well between him and his employers, the Nigeria Football Federation, this week.

Rohr who led the Eagles to win bronze at the just concluded 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt is already in Lagos to meet with the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, as regards his future with the team.

The Franco-German football tactician who spoke with newsmen in an exclusive interview in Abuja on his plans for the qualification series of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations however added that his future with the team has to be sorted out first before he can embark on a new journey with the national team.

“I think if I continue now, because I have a one year left in my contract, I strongly believe that we can qualify for the 2021 AFCON. We have to beat Benin, Sierra Leone and Lesotho at least two of them must be behind us in our group.I think this should be possible.

“It is important to say that a coach that should handle the Eagles for this 2021 AFCON assignment needs at least two (2) years to prepare. I only have one year left on my contract.

So this is something very important for us (Rohr and NFF) to iron out first”, Rohr said.

The Eagles gaffer also believed that the team can continue from where it stopped in Egypt to have a shot at the AFCON Trophy, but like it happened in his contract all this while, he sincerely wants his stay to be hinged on performance.

“Like I did in my first contract I stated if I don’t qualify for the 2018 World Cup my contract is finished and I accepted it. I am happy

that we qualified with a match to spare then.

“I also accepted in the extension of my contract after we lost our first qualifying match at home to visiting South Africa in the 2019 AFCON qualifiers that if I don’t qualify this team for the AFCON finals in Egypt, the NFF can sack me. I am also happy to say that we qualified before the last qualifying match was played. I accepted all the time these challenges. I believe for me and my employers this should be the same for the future”, Rohr explained.

The Eagles Coach further made clarifications concerning whether conditions and targets was given to him by the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation as regards winning the 2019 AFCON competition in Egypt.

“For the last AFCON in Egypt the agreement was in my new contract that if I don’t qualify for the 2019 AFCON in Egypt my contract is finished. I took the risk after losing the first match to South Africa in Nigeria that my contract stops if I fail to qualify the team for the 2019 AFCON. We eventually came first in our group.

“So it was never included in my contract that I must win the AFCON in Egypt but to qualify for the Championship to continue as Eagles’ Coach.

“It was my personal ambition and target to go as far as the third place with the team.

The NFF did not give me any target. I actually hoped to win but my target was met if we remember when we are coming from. I took over this team when the Super Eagles was ranked eleven (11) in Africa but I am happy now that the team is number 3 in Africa.

“So it is important for me to discuss another two (2) year contract with the NFF after that work will commence fully”, Rohr disclosed.

Efe Ajagba defeats Ali Eren Demirezen by unanimous decision to remain undefeated Efe Ajagba condemned World Boxing Organisation (WBO) European Heavyweight champion, Ali Eren Demirezen to his first defeat by recording a unanimous decision at the MGM Grand, Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas.

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, who is now undefeated in 11 fights, by scores of 99-91 twice and 97-93.

Ajagba used his towering physique throughout the tenround heavyweight fight, landing 191 punches out of 877, and an elbow injury forced

the former Olympian to go the distance for the first time in his profession career.

Ajagba said after the fight: “This was the first fighter to take me the distance.

“He was strong and could take my punches. My trainer just told me to keep using my jab and stay in the middle of the ring.

“I hurt my elbow early on, so I couldn’t shoot my right hand like I wanted. But I won’t use that as an excuse. As a tall man I had to use the jab and if it went the distance, that was my best way to win.”
