Reps direct FRSC to arrest trailer drivers over Lagos gridlock Henry Omunu, Abuja

The House of Representatives on Wednesday directed the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to penalize any trailer driver who parks indiscriminately on the Ogolonto-Ebute Road in Lagos. They also urged the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to take advantage of vacant plots of land along the Lagos-Ikorodu Road to create modern trailer parks and ensure that only trailers scheduled for loading have access to the lighter terminal vicinity. The resolution of the lawmakers followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by Rep. Babajimi Benson, who raised alarm over the increasing gridlock on the LagosIkorodu highway following

the indiscriminate parking of trailers. He explained during debate on the motion that due to the monumental increase in container and bulk cargo haulage businesses, there is also a consequential upsurge in theb number of trailers, flatbed and container laden trucks plying the Ogolonto to Ebute route in Ikorodu Federal Constituency. Rep. Benson warned that the high level of trucking and haulage activities on the road has resulted to the illegal use of the road resulting in wrong parking and heavy traffic blockade, especially on the Ogolonto-Ebute Road He stated that “this situation is worsening every day and is bringing untold hardship to the people, in addition to the damage from the weight of these trailers on the Ogolonto Road,”

the lawmaker said. The House however, made a resolution approving the motion and urging the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing to immediately commence palliative works on the road to ensure that travel time is reduced. It also directed the Committees on Nigeria Customs and Excise, Ports, Harbors and Waterways, Works and Legislative Compliance to ensure implementation. Our correspondent recalls that the Ikorodu Lighter Terminal (IKLT) was constructed by the Nigerian Ports Authority to decongest the Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports in Lagos state, but has in recent times been witnessing movement of containers from the Apapa Port Complex by sea to the Ikorodu Lighter Terminal in barges.

Short News NSCDC to commence psychological test on personnel Tom Okpe, Abuja To guide against occurrences of misbehavior by officers and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), its Commandant General, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu has directed the forensic psychology unit of the corps to work out a timetable for the security profiling and psychological test of all personnel. The directive came as a result of the Gombe state incidence at the weekend, where an NSCDC officer’s vehicle ran into a procession of Boys Brigade members, killing nine persons with others suffered various degrees of injury. In a statement signed on Wednesday in Abuja, by the Corps Spokesman, Okeh Emmanuel, said the NSCDC regretted the incidence and has also called for the psychological test of all personnel against future occurrences. He noted that the corps will embark on a massive training and retraining programme for all personnel, irrespective of the cadre in line with global best practices. The statement said the NSCDC boss in his condolence message to the family of the bereaved, the government of Gombe state and the Church members, regretted the incident and has asked the people to be calm while assuring that justice will prevail. “The incident has no religious correlation and the personnel in question was not on official duty; it’s quite unfortunate as this is an act of God. Nonetheless, a delegation of senior officers from the headquarters led by Emmanuel Adeoye, the deputy commandant general in charge of crisis management has been sent to visit and pay condolences to the government of Gombe state, the Church and the bereaved families,” he said.

Ganduje pledges massive investment in education, others Our reporter

Kano state Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje says the era of election and politicking is over and what is needed now is for all stakeholders to join hands and work in the interest of the state. He pledged that his government will prioritize education because of its crucial role in the growth of any society by ensuring that children are properly equipped to excel as a way of building them for the future. A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Youth and Culture, Malam Muhammad Garba quoted the governor as saying that part of the strategy to be adopted will be looking into critical areas where the administration is being censured by guaranteeing massive investment in the education sector. It however, noted that government alone would not be able to meet the funding needs of the sector, and urges parents to show more interest in the educational development of their children. The commissioner says the administration will also rollout plans for the rapid growth of the state as part of a grand disposition to transforming the state to a mega city by implementing a clear-cut economic policies and strategies arranged for the functional financing of critical development projects across the state.

Group advocates open voting in choosing 9th Assembly leaders Tunde Opalana, Abuja The race for the leadrship of the 9th National Assembly took a new dimension as a group of protesters stormed the National Assembly to ask for an adoption of open voting system during the inauguration of both chambers. Coming under the auspices of Advocates for Good Governance (AGG), the protesters armed with placards bearing inscriptions such as: “No to secret voting in NASS,” “Enough of secrecy in NASS election” among others, blocked the main entrance to the

National Assembly complex. Spokesperson of the group, Duro Meseko, explained that the group was irked by what he called the “planned use of secret voting in electing leaders of the 9th Assembly.” Meseko urged all memberselect of the 9th Assembly to be vigilant and defend the interest of their respective constituents and that they must ensure that the election of the new leadership is done in a creditable and transparent manner. He said that demand for open ballot or voice vote system for the conduct of the election of the new leadership of the 9th

National Assembly would boost the country’s democracy. “Only this approach will give the new leadership the confidence and trust it deserves from Nigerians,” he said. He expressed fears that Nigerians might be forced to unanimously rise against the leaders who might emerge through any other mode of election, if the open ballot system was not adopted for the conduct of the leadership elections. The group called on patriotic Nigerians to lend their voices to ensure that voting was done in the open and every vote counted and counts.

Director General of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), Dikko Umaru Radda has reiterated the agency’s commitment to redesign and restructure the way and manner MSMEs data are generated and used in Nigeria with the adoption of a comprehensive MSMEs market place database initiative. In a welcome remark at the opening of a stakeholders’ forum on the comprehensive MSMEs marketplace database project in Abuja yesterday, Radda, who was represented by Mr. Wale Fasanya, director, planning research, monitoring and evaluation noted that the initiative seeks to generate a more reliable and better structured database for better planning and more informed decision making by relevant stakeholders within the SME ecosystem. It will also lead to the development of a standardized data capturing format or framework that will guide all SMEs-related surveys or census. Dr. Radda said the initiative would also enables demand-driven relationships and match-making between SMEs and large enterprises and enables better and more specific MSMEs listing by sector, location, input requirements, products and services, output, financing gaps and so on.

Okoro remains importers association boss, BOT chairman affirms

Ambassador Chijioke Okoro remains the acting Director General (Special Taskforce) of the Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN). Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Association, Chief Gilbert Bravo Obi, who confirmed this at a press briefing on Wednesday, warned the public to disregard claims to the position by Osita Okereke. The BOT chairman said Okereke who was former director general of IMAN, Special Taskforce formally ceased to function in that capacity in 2015. The taskforce is an arm of IMAN charged with the responsibility to combat illegal importation, smuggling of goods, small arms, ammunition and light weapons across the country Chief Obi alleged that, “Okereke, who is presently under police investigation over alleged impersonation and forgery besides other criminal offences is not the director general of IMAN special taskforce. He was suspended and sacked in 2015 by the IMAN, Board of Trustees, BOT. “He fraudulently declared our certificate of incorporation lost and deceived the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with a court affidavit that deceived them into believing him and, in effect, issued him with another certificate of incorporation. “We formed IMAN in 2007. But, when Okereke was appointed director general, special taskforce, he soon after started to be funny and tried to appropriate IMAN as a private business.

From Sudan, lessons in power

Kayode Robert Idowu

Recent events beyond our borders in Nigeria strongly illustrated the fundamental transience of the potency of power, especially when it is misapplied. Although those happenings were offshore, it is worth our focus here because the morals therefrom have universal application. One universal moral that showed up, for instance, is that power has legitimacy only when it genuinely issues from the people. In other words, a power broker is only as secure as the voluntary mandate conferred on him by the ordinary folk he purports to represent, not by designing and implanting structures of coercion for self-preservation. Also, when power slips away, an erstwhile broker could become a victim of his own weaponisation of that essentially fleeting privilege. Ask former President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, and he would perhaps wish now that he had used power in connecting with his people’s struggles and aspirations. The fact of history is, he did not, and he is now out in the cold after some 30 years at the helm. His official residence used to be in a large compound in the country’s capital, Khartoum, which also houses the Defence ministry and Army headquarters that were the structures of his selfpreservation in power. But it was the very military that turned on the strongman penultimate Thursday and dug him out of the stronghold, after he had fiercely faced down street protests by the Sudanese people that broke out in December 2018. Nota Bene: We should be particularly interested in the on-goings in Sudan here in Nigeria because of the country’s about 30million population, more than 5million are said to be of Nigerian origin. Barely a week before al-Bashir’s ouster, octogenarian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria was forced to step down from power after 20 years, following heady protests by his country people who would no longer – not even by a whiff – have the old order. Before Bouteflika tumbled out of power at 82 years, he had assayed to seek another term in his country’s imminent

elections, even though he is widely known to have debilitating health challenges and was rarely seen in public since he suffered a stroke in 2013. Yet he didn’t even quit because he was conscience stricken by the costs of the public’s relentless demand for his ouster, but rather because the Algerian military that had been the mainstay of his power pulled their support and pitched in with the people. In both Sudan and Algeria, the trigger of the uprisings was the worsening living conditions of the people, which respective ex-leader apparently had lost touch with. The protests in Sudan, spearheaded by the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) along with some other civil society groups, were originally sparked by rising costs of living but later evolved into a pressure campaign to flush al-Bashir out of power. One moral here is: there is a baseline of people’s tolerance and accommodation of a leadership that presides over their progressive impoverishment and is yet out of touch with that reality. Government is best secure when it apprehends and works with the daily reality of its people. Like all strongmen, al-Bashir, at 75 years of age and after 30 years in power, did not give in to the protesters as the Sudanese military, before pulling their loyalty, repeatedly batted them down on the streets. Official accounts cited 38 people dead in the protests since December, while non-governmental sources said the casualty figure was higher. In February, it had looked as though the ex-Sudanese president would step down, but he instead declared a state of national emergency. The military were his coercive instrument for that emergency until the people’s resolve flipped the tide of their loyalty and they turned on him in a coup. Reports as last week were that the former leader has been relocated from house arrest to solitary confinement in Kober maximum security prison in Khartoum – the same facility where he confined many who challenged his rule over the last 30 years. Under his reign, political dissidents and

opposition figures often ended up at the feared Kober prison, also the site of some of the country’s most notorious hangings. Actually, many of those who had taken to the streets since December to demand his ouster were reportedly being held in a special wing for political prisoners run by the dreaded National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS). Pending their release as already promised by the new regime, they are now the ex-president’s neighbours in incarceration. Al-Bashir got to where he is now by travelling the familiar road of manipulative self-perpetuation in power, which really isn’t uncommon to leadership on the African continent. His advent in power was by way of a military coup in 1989 that ousted the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi. But he had since then stood elections in which he was controversially declared winner – the last of these being in 2015. I happened to be in Khartoum during the April 2015 presidential poll and recall that the electoral field was tightly skewed such that his runaway victory was inevitable. All major opposition parties that could have offered real challenge to al-Bashir boycotted that election, saying it was incorrigibly rigged towards a predetermined end of his victory. Out of 88 registered political parties in the country at that time, only five fielded candidates against al-Bashir of the National Congress Party, although these were complemented by 10 Independents to make 16 presidential candidates in all. But that was just a mere number. The reality was an extremely fragile challenge to alBashir’s incumbency. Besides the political infirmity of Independents, who formed the majority of opposition candidates, the few participating parties were all splinter groups from the major opposition parties, which shunned the poll because the circumstances inhibited healthy rivalry. War was underway in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states and state machinery was under a stranglehold by the ruling regime. Hence the opposition parties

canvassed a postponement of the poll and wanted a transitional government to oversee the drafting of a new Constitution and organise free and fair elections. The regime, of course, bucked those demands and al-Bashir rollercoastered to a landslide win in the poll to prolong his stay in power. Perhaps he had looked forward to another run in 2020. But besides the 2009 indictment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) hanging over his head, al-Bashir must have realised now that orchestrated victories do not necessarily translate to legitimate power that issues from voluntary mandate of the people. That must be why for much of the time, he needed the coercive weigh-in of the Sudanese military to exercise control over the people until the military buckled to the people’s will and turned on him. The moral here is: leaders must realise where genuine power base lies – that is, with the people – and should assiduously cultivate same rather than rely on the intervention of coercive structures. But there are many power potentates in Africa fashioned after the al-Bashir model. A recent report by the BBC World News showed that of the Top Ten longest ruling non-royals in the world, seven are from Africa namely Equatorial Guinea’s Nguema Mbasogo (39 years in power), Cameroon’s Paul Biya (36), Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni (33), Sudan’s al-Bashir (29), Chad’s Idriss Derby (28), Eritrea’s Isaias Afwerki (25) and Congo-Brazzaville’s Dennis Sassou Nguesso (21). Even then, 74-year-old Museveni is actively prospecting for life presidency, with his country’s supreme court only last week tearing up the 75-year constitutional age limit for that office and clearing the way for him to seek a sixth term in 2021. Egypt is as well presently debating a review of existing term limit in her laws as would enable President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi to remain in power until 2013. Nigeria luckily has an effective term limit to power, but yet must be on guard against coercive usurpations even within the statutory time frame.

Buhari and the 2nd unfinished ‘bus stop’ commissioning

Ademola Adeoye

Above a year ago, President Buhari came to Lagos to commission an Ultra Modern Ikeja Bus Terminal, shutting down some major roads, making life extremely difficult and thorny for those he did swear to make life easy for. Till this moment, the Ikeja Bus Terminal is yet to commute a singular Lagosian across a route let alone 100,000 of them across 23 routes! I thought it was terrible enough for the President of the most packed Black nation on earth to have commissioned a project that wouldn’t be in operation for the next one year. The question is; why do we commission projects that wouldn’t either endure or be useful at all—to Nigerians? To achieve what? Is it to show the whole world that things are working here? The truth is; you and I know that nothing is working here yet. I still do not understand the idea behind project-commissioning. I surmise it is a 3rd world-backwardmindset. To commission complete projects is bad, but to commission uncompleted ones is worse! And it is quite shocking that a whole President of Nigeria would fly out of Abuja to Lagos to commission an incomplete Oshodi Transport Interchange. And it is more shocking that those who are supposed to lampoon both PMB and his host are clapping for them, wearing the mask of the shallow-politics that we Nigerians play here that hasn’t helped us a hoot over the years.

How many projects that were commissioned in the last four years are still serving our people today? Why do we enjoy wasting taxpayers’ money in Nigeria? I expected Ambode to handover the ongoing project at Oshodi to “Sanwo,” but the truth is; there is nothing like continuity when it comes to governance in our clime. Everyone is in power for what to eat. Babajide Sanwo will also come in and not do anything about it, provided much won’t be made from it. Remember, projects are done, not because the people are loved, they are done, because of what is in them for those in the corridors of power. On the condition that Babajide Sanwo is interested in completing the project, he too will still commission the same project, wasting taxpayers’ money! Thank God it is not Goodluck Ebele Jonathan—who is in Lagos to commission uncompleted projects. If it were him, those who hate him and Nigeria would have gone on CNN to lampoon him for the whole world to know about it. Hypocrisy kills us faster in Nigeria than terrorism. In my little years on earth and in Nigeria, I have seen hypocrites in both high and low places. Those who abused GEJ for a mistake would pat PMB on his back for making a worse mistake. People speak to power, not because they love our country, but they speak to power because they do not like the face of the one occupying the highest office in the land. Buhari

hasn’t led Nigeria better than GEJ, but those who protested against GEJ are as silent as a necropolis now. I guess they are now in power, eating what they were complaining about—when GEJ was in power. When I got the worthless information yesterday that some major roads would be closed in Lagos for PMB, I had to stay back, working from my home-office, to avoid today’s thoughtless and needless traffic-jam. I cannot afford to let those who are not contributing anything meaningful to my life waste my time. Anyone who is not smarter than our imprudent ways of doing things—would not do anything tangible with his or her life till he or she breathes his or her last. Nigeria can destroy one’s life, if care is not taken! A few days ago, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said that President Buhari has performed well on security! He said Nigeria is now free from Boko Haram and all insecurity issues! What I do not know about is whether Nigeria has a branch somewhere else that some of us do not know about, but the one that has her Federal Capital Territory in Abuja is still helplessly struggling with issues bordering on insecurity. On the condition that our people are not killed by either Boko Haram terrorists, they would be killed by either Policemen or bandits and this happens almost on every-day! I am sure those who have lost their loved ones as an effect of—leadership

vacuum—won’t be happy with Lai Mohammed. Alhaji Lai Mohammed is probably the most insensitive political leader in the history of Nigeria. Non-partisan Nigerians know that Nigeria is not safer today than it was in 2015. The more money we spend, the more insecure we become as a people. The rate at which our people are being killed has made Mr. President to become tired of condemning them. Now, he finds it easier to condemn the attacks on folks beyond the shores of Nigeria than the ones that happen at home, because they have become too many for him to condemn. In fact, Nigerians are now tired of merely condemning senseless killings in Nigeria, we now strongly demand that he stops them. Remember, President Buhari is going to give an account of every soul lost on his watch. Lastly, it is a thing of dishonor for the President of Nigeria to be commissioning unfinished projects. Most of the African nations have left us behind, because we are not serious as a nation. Have you ever seen the President of Rwanda commissioning unfinished projects? It is an embarrassment for the President of Nigeria to be commissioning projects that would still be commissioned again in the days to come. It is high time we called for a national thinking meeting, because Nigeria is gradually becoming irredeemable.

Editorial Commentary

Revisiting my ‘judgment without justice

Times Guest Columnist Mohammed Adamu

“The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, And wretches hang (so) that jury-men may dine”. Alexander Pope

PREAMBLE Depending on whether he is conservative or liberal, a judge -whenever he interprets, construe or construct the law- is bound to achieve one of two things: expand or constrict its capacity to do justice. Judges enjoy the judicial luxury to work justice or to occasion its reverse. They may resolve a matter narrow mindedly (rigidly) according to law or broad mindedly (liberally) even against the grain of it. Where there is no law certain –as was the case of the lacuna that brought Kogi’s Governor Bello- judges may rule to make new laws, so that by a just precedent set, they correct a defect in the body of law. But even where there is a law certain, -as it was in the Supreme Court’s overruling of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act concerning Saraki- judges are known whimsically, to rule to create unjust precedents in law. The Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA had commendably outlawed interlocutory injunctions/stay of proceedings; but allegedly in aid of Saraki’s CCT matter, the Apex Court had brazenly overruled the Act and thus technically forced, by a judicial process, the amendment of a law made by the ‘legislative process’. And so judges do not only interpret or construe, they often also construct, the law -to establish its position especially amidst conflicting provisions. Or they may also create entirely new laws, even where there are extant provisions already. Thus judges have quasi-legislative power in their judicial capacities to make what is termed ‘judge-made’ or ‘court-made’ law -either in aid of errant parliaments or even in disregard of rightly guided ones. And so the judges’ power to determine what the law is supersedes even the much-touted constitutional right of parliament in that regard. In truth judges or the courts –not parliaments- are the ultimate legal sovereigns. Judicial power here subsumes the better part of legislative prerogative. Whatever judges choose to do with such enormous power, their conscience alone is the judge of whether they act judiciously in the interest of justice or judicially in the interest of law. But the danger in judges always acting according to law is that it is not in all circumstances that the law operates to work justice. And it is situations like this that make obvious the need for judges sometimes to rule not strictly according to the ‘letter’ of the law, but also according to its ‘spirit’. Every law, no matter how textually flawed, is animated by the spirit to achieve justice. It is the fault of judges if it does not. AS THE COURT PLEASES Judges have the liberty always to rule ‘as it pleases’ them. And maybe it is the reason that lawyers in court are obligated always to chorus: ‘as the court pleases’, any time a judge rules. It is with delight for some, as with dejection for others, that lawyers must thumb-up a judge for having done ‘as he pleases’ -whether he perverts the law or he ennobles it. ‘As the court pleases’ may conveniently underscore the supremacy of judicial caprice, but it may not always be indicative of justice done -unless judges make the doing of ‘justice’ always their pleasure. By the way, since judges have the liberty always to rule ‘as it pleases’ them, why should it not please them to do so justly, even if they have to do it against the grain of law. Whether or not the provisions of any law are designed to work justice, the judge has an option, either to pervert ‘good laws’ to miscarry justice or to interpret even ‘bad ones’ to carry justice. Good judges, feel obligated

to follow the law but only if the law works justice. The attainment of justice is the ultimate raison d’être for the existence of law. The tragedy is that the English system of law has not always been what it ought to be, namely a measure that brooks no exploitation from selfish man; it has always been a dumb, manipulable ‘ass’! Nor has the law always been what legislators intend it to be, namely an abiding product of reasoned legislation, and not the shifting sands of capricious judges to be found more in precedents than in the statute books. The law is always what judges say it is! Said Charles Hughes, a U.S. jurist, “We are under a constitution, but the constitution is what the judges say it is”. The law suffers a form of juristic injustice in the hands of conservative judges who impose on themselves incapacity to navigate its delicate labyrinth to arrive at justice; but it also suffer worse in the hands of liberal judges who may neglect it at the foothill of unconscionable lawyers to ride as they please. ‘IRON OUT THE CREASES’ Whether conservative or liberal, most Nigerian judges have this uncanny ability when dealing both with inherently good or bad laws, to still work injustice! Our judges are either constrained by the illiberal provisions of bad laws to work injustice or they are overwhelmed equally by the liberal provisions of good laws still to arrive at injustice. And so head or tail with our judges, what we get always is ‘judgment’ without ‘justice’. Most Nigerian judges persist in elevating legal technicalities above the overarching need to engender justice. Many in fact, appear to have this sneaky penchant for glorifying ‘procedure law’ over and above ‘substantive matters’. Said Itse Sagay, “I don’t understand why (judges) would have the ‘law’ which is in conflict with ‘justice’ and (they will) prefer to apply the law”. The public should has no problem with the Courts following the law, provided that in doing so they do ‘justice’! What the public rejects is this grotesques idea of ‘law’ for ‘law’s sake’ as if it is a work of art to be appreciated for its form and not for the justice that it occasions. The idea that the ‘hands’ of a judge are ‘tied’ by ‘unjust provisions’ of ‘law’ so that he can only rule to work injustice is lame, escapist and untenable. The powers of a judge to decide what the law is, knows no bounds. And so if the ‘law’ contains impurities which do not conduce to the attainment of justice, it behooves a judge not to surrender to those impurities but to ‘interpret’ or ‘construe’ them to work justice. Or so said Lord Denning, that although a “Judge must not alter the material of which (the law) is woven”, yet “he can and should iron out the creases”. Agbakoba was even more radically when he said that the idea that judges do not descend to the arena is moribund; because nowadays he said, to do justice, judges –especially those handling corruption cases- must descend to the arena to “balance public opinion with law”. Judges, no matter of what ideological persuasion, have a voice within that compels them always to prioritize the ‘spirit’ of the law in order to achieve justice. It is a choice that judges have the right to freely make one way or another; to listen to that inner call to do justice or to hearken to the shrill invitation to pervert justice. It is absolutely not true that judges are constrained at any time by one option against the other. It is a clear choice –as the former Chief Justice, Dahiru Musdapher would saybetween ‘plata’ and ‘plomo’ –or between ‘gold’ and ‘lead’! And that was what the Scottish-born British judge William Murray Mansfield said to a lay colonial governor who was about to become an administrator and a judge: “consider what you think justice requires” he said, “and decide accordingly.”

Our POSITION Beyond passage of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill Recently, the Senate passed the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill which the House of Representatives had passed almost a year ago. The bill if transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari and receives his assent before the 8th National Assembly winds up in the first week of June this year, will definitely upgrade the funding of Nigeria Police. As it is now, only the Federal Government is legally responsible for the funding of the Nigeria Police, even though we all know that States Government, some corporate entities and individuals are bearings some of its day to day running expenses if not the larger part of it. The Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill is meant to address the inadequacy in funding of police particularly the training of its personnel and acquisition of modern equipment that would enable optimal and effective policing of the country. One of the major objectives of the bill is to improve funding for the Nigeria Police Force. This point was further stressed by President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who presided over the Senate that belatedly passed the bill. He was very clear in his remark that by the passage of the bill the National Assembly had fulfilled its promise to pass it before expiration of the 8th Assembly. “By passing this bill, we will be creating big strides towards providing and improving security and policing in our country. We agree with him that “one of the major concerns about our police has always been the issue of funding”. We believe that this bill will provide leeway for the funding needed for training, recruitment and equipment. It will also act as a relief to the Federal Government who had borne the burden all these years. Technically, the bill is aimed at providing a legal framework for the management and control of the special intervention funds established under the Act for the training of personnel of the NPF. The trust fund should also be

utilised to enhance the skills of the personnel of the Police in order to ensure their effectiveness in the overall performance. Needles to state that constant improvement in the performance of their duties is what the country is craving for. We also expect that the trust fund would be used to ensure that the NPF has the necessary operational equipment, instructional materials, build and maintain police stations and living quarters. We therefore appeal to the President to consider assenting the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill as soon as it is transmitted to him to avoid it been elapsed in June this year. Though, we are not expecting that the bill may contain contentious provisions, we plead that in case there is any, it should be resolved hastily. The management of the police force should be thinking how to make best use of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill and safeguard it to ensure that it is not bedeviled by graft and all forms of vices.

Tension in Uyo varsity as rival cult Short News NAPTIP declares 2 women wanted for groups battle for control Isaac Job, Uyo

There is tension in the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state following renewed hostilities among cult groups that has claimed three lives causing fear and panic amongst students and visitors to the institution. Our correspondent gathered that students of the university are currently gripped by fear both at the university’s main and annex campuses located along Ikpa Road and Nwana Iba Road respectively. Some of the students who spoke to newsmen yesterday in Uyo, lamented the incessant attacks from cult groups allegedly from outside the varsity campus. A student who simply identified himself as Uduak said that “before

the last matriculation, there were shootings and during the matriculation proper, there were clashes between rival cult groups. “Just yesterday, a student was shot dead during a clash between two cult groups at the annex campus. I heard that three more students were shot dead in the early hours of today (Wednesday) at the main campus, even though I have not confirmed that yet.

Buhari unveils 170-bed maternity Short News We have reduced cattle rustling hospital in Lagos in Plateau, says task force Benjamin Omoike, Lagos President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday unveiled the newly reconstructed Institute of Maternal and Child Health popularly known as Ayinke House located within the premises of the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, describing it as a critical and timely intervention by the state government in the health sector. Ayinke House, which is Nigeria’s biggest maternity hospital was upgraded from an 80-bed facility to a 170-bed healthcare centre with stateof-the-art medical equipment as well as information technology services. Aside the entourage of the President which included, ministers and special advisers, the Governors of Ogun (Ibikunle Amosu); Oyo (Abiola Ajimobi); Ondo (Oluwarotimi Akeredolu); Ekiti (Kayode Fayemi); Jubrila Bindow of Adamawa and the acting Governor of Edo state, Philip Shaibu; Lagos state Governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat as well as the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, among other dignitaries were in attendance. The president who landed at the presidential wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja at about 10: 45am, arrived at Ayinke

House about 15 minutes later, after which he unveiled the project and embarked on a comprehensive tour of the facility. Speaking at the event, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode described the development as historic, expressing optimism that the facility would provide world class childbirth and maternal care services to Lagosians and Nigerians at large. Recalling how the journey began, Governor Ambode said the facility was commissioned exactly 29 years ago, with the late businessman and philanthropist, Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony donating the first dedicated maternal and child care facility to the state government, in memory of his mother; hence the christened name “Ayinke House.” He said the hospital which started with just one surgical theatre soon assumed a life of its own as a first-class maternal health centre in Nigeria as well as first choice for expectant mothers. However, the governor said the hospital later became over-stretched beyond its capacity and became obsolete, adding that in order to sustain the legacy of the late philanthropist, the state government during the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola awarded the contract for the expansion and reconstruction of the facility. “Today, seven years after the closure of the facility, the new edifice is now

a 170-bed facility with five surgical theatres. It has a 16-bed emergency care units with three organ support facilities, 30-bed special baby care unit, five neo-natal intensive care units, a fully equipped laboratory with support services, laboratories and a blood bank. “Beyond the significance for the health sector, this institute is a major contribution to our education sector as it becomes a veritable platform for our medical students in the state university to enhance their exposure and experience with the top-class medical equipment provided,” Governor Ambode said. He revealed that Ayinke House had also been completely digitalized with state-of-the-art medical equipment as well as information technology services supported by the state Ministry of Science and Technology. The governor said in view of President Buhari’s determination of making universal and basic primary healthcare as a cardinal priority of his administration, the state government had consciously worked to bring quality, affordable and modern healthcare to citizenry of the state, among other initiatives in the health sector. “Just last year, we launched the Lagos state Health Insurance Scheme to allow residents access top quality medical care with a little contribution and support from the state government.

Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The special task force, otherwise known as Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) has confirmed that cattle rustling activities in the state has drastically reduced. Commander of the Taskforce, Maj. Gen.Augustine Agundu said that that the activities of cattle rustlers were caged by the efforts of his men whom he strategically positioned in most of the troubled communities. Speaking to newsmen at a Medical Outreach, Feeding and Donation of Relief Materials to Gyambwas community in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau state, the army general said since the establishment of the forward operation base in Gyambwas, there has been relatively peace amongst the people. Represented by the Chief of Staff of the task force, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Bello, Agundu explained that the heightened cattle rustling which was a major threat between Mangu and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas has been put to rest. “It might interest you to know that from September to date, there has been no cattle rustling activities since the establishment of the forward base in this area. The reason for its establishment was to arrest any form of criminality and form a blocking force to cattle thieves,” he said. The general stated that the reason Gyambwas community was selected for the medical outreach and donation of relief materials was to reward them for their corporation with the task force by giving out timely information that always led to the arrest of criminals and seizure of weapons.

NAF plans to acquire 18 more aircraft Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said on Tuesday that plans are under way to boost air assets and enhance national security with 18 more aircraft next year. The Chairman, Organising Committee for the 2019 NAF Day Celebration, Air Commodore Nnamdi Ananaba who disclosed this at a media briefing on the activities line up to mark this year celebration said that the brands of the aircraft planned for acquisition include: four A-109 Power and one Mi-35M, AW139 helicopter and 12 Super Tucano. NAF last week took delivery of two Agusta 109 Power attack helicopters, which are currently being assembled for induction during the forthcoming 2019 NAF Day Celebration taking place in Abuja from 27 – 29, 2019. Explaining the acquisition of platforms, the chairman said that

NAF within the last three years has taken delivery of 16 brand new aircraft (10 X Super Mushshak, 4 X Mi-35M and 2 X Bell 412 helicopters). “Another 18 (4 X A-109 Power and 1 X Mi-35M, 1 X AW139 helicopter and 12 Super Tucano) are either expected soon or have been paid for and are expected to be inducted into service in 2020.’’ He also said 14 grounded aircraft such as the Falcon 900, ATR-42, Beechcraft, Super Puma, EC-135 Do228, Mi-35P, F-7 and L-39 had been reactivated. He said that with hindsight NAF had realised that it had a lot to celebrate and showcase. Ananaba said NAF had metamorphosed from being a service which, during the civil war, rolled bombs out of aircraft by hand, to one that is highly professional and equipped. He said that the air force was now equipped with advanced aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) capable of precision strikes from as

far away as 250 kilometres. “There has obviously been a remarkable change, much of which was achieved within the last three and a half years. “The NAF has winged 90 pilots in the last three years, while 68 others are in training both at home and abroad. ‘’Over 7,000 personnel have been trained in different specialties and these include over 4,000 regiment personnel and 1,000 Special Forces personnel who have been actively involved in combat operations with the army. ‘’Through all these, there have been operational gains in several internal security operations in the country,” he stated. The NAF Day celebration 2019, tagged ‘’NAF@55″, is scheduled to take place in Abuja from April 27 to April 29. Ananaba said the anniversary would also enable the air force to show the Nigerian taxpayers what it was capable of doing.

Ajeromi/Ifelodun Poll: PDP accuses INEC of plotting crisis in Lagos Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of plotting crisis in Lagos State by disobeying the order of the Federal High Court to declare the results of the February 23, 2019 National Assembly elections for Ajeromi/Ifelodun Federal Constituency, which was clearly won by its candidate, Hon. Rita Orji. The party said by insisting on conducting a supplementary poll for an already concluded election, even in defiance of the ruling of the court, INEC has confirmed fears that

it has been compromised to create situations to subvert the will of the people and award the Ajeromi/ Ifelodun Federal Constituency seat to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The PDP stated that it was aware of vicious designs by an APC cabal in Lagos to foist their stooge on the Ajeromi/Ifelodun Federal Constituency seat and use him to divert resources and opportunities meant for the welfare of the masses in the Constituency, to finance their wasteful lifestyle. This, according to the party’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, practically informed the desperation by the APC to forcefully take over the Ajeromi/Ifelodun seat; a

malicious project that has failed and will always fail. “It is not in doubt that Ajeromi/ Ifelodun Federal Constituency has always been a stronghold of the PDP. Given the popularity of our candidate and our party across the Federal constituency, even if the election is conducted ten times, our party will always win. “The PDP therefore insists that the already established victory of our candidate, Hon. Rita Orji, in the February 23, 2019 National Assembly, must be declared in accordance with the will of the people. “Anything short of this is a willful assault on our democratic process”, said Ologbondiyan.

NAMA boss decries poor radio communications in Nigerian airspace Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Captain Fola Akinkuotu has confirmed that radio communication over the Nigerian airspace is still a challenge despite efforts being put into it to resolve it. The NAMA boss made this known yesterday at the no-holds-bar Air Traffic Controllers (ATC)/ Pilot Interactive Session with the theme: Enhancing Safety of Flight Operations organised by Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers’ Association (NATCA) in collaboration with the Flight Crew Association of Nigeria (FCAN) and National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE). According to Akinkuotu, part of NAMA’s job is provision of communication in the airspace but the agency is yet to achieve that 100 per cent. He said, “Radio communication today is not the best. I have spent two years in NAMA and I thought I would have fixed this problem but I haven’t. The effort is being made and we are not going to stop because any air traffic communication that is not crisp clear is a recipe for confusion.’ “In the Southeast, a lot of pilots have had to step on each other and ATCs because of poor communication and if you are foreign to the clime, that may make you categorize our airspace as unsafe. “I work for NAMA. Part of NAMA’S job is communication but we have not achieved what we set out to do. And so we are asking feedback from the users. We are not afraid of criticism but we enjoin you to make it civil. We beg we implore, we beseech in the interest of safety to take things seriously and for our pilots to be more patient and understanding with the ATCs.” Corroborating, President NATCA, Abayomi Agoro on his part said commercial flight operations without communication between them pilot in the cockpit and controllers in the tower, the consequences are grim and better unimagined. “The present Controller-Pilot VHF Communication coverage of Nigeria’s airspace is a far cry from the required international standard but it is still work in progress with NAMA. Over the years, it has been quite herculean for Air Traffic Controllers to communicate effectively with pilots. He further went to enumerate some other challenges that are worthy of note including the deplorable state of some Control Towers. “At the risk of sounding repetitive, it is important to mention it again that the Control Towers at the following locations: Kaduna, Maiduguri, Ilorin, Yola, Sokoto, Benin, Katsins are in very deplorable state “The case of Abuja Tower Elevator that suddenly dropped from the topmost floor to the ground is a sore point in Nigeria’s aviation industry. Even more worrisome is the threat of health hazard to ATCs who go through agony climbing 232 flights of stairs on a daily basis” Agoro also decried the loss of revenue in foreign exchange by NAMA because aircraft avoid the airspace to operate in contiguous airspace. He also decried the limited number of ATCs in the country to effectively man all the ATC units across the country hampering service delivery and leading to the overworking of staff that may have safety implication Speaking earlier, Representative of Director General Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Director of training, Captain Abdullahi Sidi said the opportunity to gather the major players and positively discuss safety and proffer solutions to mitigate the problems faced in the system.

“In line with this the Agency has engaged an international consulting firm Duns and Bradstreet Nigeria Limited to carry out this study in four (4) major commercial States i.e. Lagos, Ogun, Kano and Abia.” “The choice of these States was based on the fact that they are areas of very high socio-economic activities and that the findings in these states would enable the agency to upscale the survey to other states in the next phase of the project”, Rafa stated. He said that the deliverables of the project, would be carried out by the production of a comprehensive need-based concept document for the MSMEs National Database exercise in conjunction with SMEDAN and the development of field methods/suitable instruments and tools with which to capture requisite information from the target MSMEs.

At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the company in Lagos on Wednesday, shareholders gathered to receive the audited financial statement for the year ended December; declare a dividend; re-elect directors, among other businesses. A member of the Independent Shareholder Association of Nigeria (ISAN) Mr Adebayo Adeleke who commended the board and

management of the company, said the shareholders have come to celebrate another successful year for Custodian Investment Plc, noting that the dividend been given, 45 Kobo per share was the best in the sector. According to him, “I’m starting from the note that despite the fact that we had a challenging year in 2018, we’ve been given two kobo with an impressive result. From an Earning per share of about 119 kobo, we are paying 45 kobo dividend. Coupled with that you’ve paid both interim and final dividend consistently. For 12 years, you’ve never failed to give returns to shareholders.”

Adeleke also commended the performance of the company, noting that the revenue grossed N50 billion, just as the total asset nears N100 billion. Also, President of the Nigerian Shareholders Solidarity Association (NSSA) Mathew Akinlade applauded board and management of Custodian for the impressive result for the year, especially in the area of cost control. “Honestly, Custodian Investment Plc is an investor’s delight. When we look at all performance indicators, they are all beautiful - gross earnings, gross premium, interest income. I congratulate you,” Akinlade said.

In her statement, the Chairman of Custodian Investment Plc, Dr Omobola Johnson noted that despite the moderate macroeconomic growth on the domestic front, the company was able to post strong financial performance across all of its business lines and from the subsidiaries. “We recorded strong top-line growth as gross revenue improved by 16.8 per cent to N50.3 billion. Similarly, total asset and shareholders’ funds remain strong at N98.1 billion and N41.5 billion with year-on-year growths of 21.5 per cent and 13.9 per cent”, she said.

My decision not to re-contest was voluntary – Rep. Balogun Rep. Yakub Abiodun Balogun, is a two-time member of the House of Representatives. He represents Lagos Island 11 Federal Constituency and against the norm decided not to seek re-election into the House in the February polls to make room for others to taste the allure of holding an elective office. He spoke with journalists in Abuja, giving reasons why he took the hard decision, his experiences in the House, legislative agenda and his relationship with Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. Our correspondent, Henry Omunu was there. Excerpts: 8th Assembly as chairman, House Committee on Treaties, Protocols and Agreements, a position that gave me the leeway to see to the domestication of many international instruments that the country had entered into for the good of our country. In this position, l facilitated the domestication of the double taxation agreement between Nigeria and Sweden, Nigeria and Spain and Nigeria and South Korea. Most importantly, l am of the firm belief, that what l will be most remembered for in my eight years a House of Representatives member are my well thought-out and constituency projects and my various constituent enhancement projects, such as the monthly financial assistance for a six -month period to selected senior citizens within my constituency in batches of 50 -100, at the end of which another batch is selected for the same largesse. A total of 1, 168 elders benefited from the package between 2011 – 2019, awarding bursaries to over 400 students in my constituency, the construction of a block of three classrooms at the Jamat-ul Islamiyya Primary School, Patey Street, Lagos as well as providing new classroom furniture and refurbishing old ones in schools across my constituency. Similarly, l provided free summer holiday classes for an average of 500 students per batch. This is in addition to the free bus rides l introduced for pupils in my constituency, the construction and furnishing of a 250-seat ultra-modern community hall at Anikantamo Street, and the renovation a ward at the popular Lagos Island Maternity Hospital. Also, l had capacity building programmes, including eye screening and treatment of patients with eye problems and my grant of N50, 000 to selected artisans.

What informed your 2017 decision not to vie for a third tenure in the House of Representatives, considering the mentality of the average Nigerian to hang-on to power perpetually? I took the decision in 2017 believing that an actor honourably quits the stage when the ovation is loudest. I did so voluntarily in order to enable others climb the stage to give their performance by contributing their quota to national development. The spirit to quit the stage when the ovation is loudest and allow others to make their contributions had always been with me even from my public service days. I still had almost two years to serve as head of the Lagos state public service when I voluntarily retired to allow others come on hoard. Is there any substance in the insinuations that there is a falling apart between you and the APC’s National Leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and this is responsible for you not seeking a third tenure as a federal lawmaker? No, there is nothing like that in my relationship with the Asiwaju and other party leaders in Lagos. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu remains an indefatigable and foresighted political leader. He is compassionate, imbued with great vision, mission and character, and I have great respect for him and I believe the respect is mutual. The only time we differed on opinion was when he penciled down my name as deputy governorshipcandidate to run with the incumbent, Akinwunmi Ambode. I declined, arguing that both the current governor and my own largely civil service background will not augur well for the smooth governance in Lagos state. I expressed my conviction that it takes a combination of public and private oriented minds to effectively grapple with the challenges of the state; a state that is unique in status and orientation. I indicated my preference to return to the House of Representatives as a member and the Asiwaju agreed with me and that was it. This to me is not a disagreement. Before then, I had in my usual fashion made up my mind not to recontest in 2019. Can you relate your experiences as a two-time member of the House and you’re your legislative agenda was? You know I represent Lagos Island 11 Federal Constituency, a largely urban one with little or no rural areas and as such my priority areas in terms of representation were different and this reflected in the content and quality of the motions

Yakub Abiodun and bills l sponsored. My average constituent is cosmopolitan and urbane in nature and so are their needs and wants. They are more likely to be concerned about the level of electricity tariffs, reducing accidents on the highways and the renewal of urban decay, rather than the construction of feeder roads, provision of agricultural inputs and other nature based demands typical of agricultural constituencies. Based on the nature of my constituency, l busied myself with promoting legislations that sought to end the short-changing of the thousands who travel abroad periodically, using the bustling Lagos airport. As l gained more experience in the art of lawmaking in the House, l was appointed during the

What do you plan on doing after your tenure expires in June or is this the end of your political career? I would want to devout greater attention to expanding and consolidating my private accountancy firm which is been run by my partner while l was busy politicking. My desire is to open and put on a sound footing, the Abuja branch of the firm. This doesn’t signify the end of my political career. No, not at all. The urge to further serve the people is still very strong in me. After a short and well deserved rest, I will be open to opportunities to further serve my motherland and Nigerians in relevant capacities. When there is a vacancy in the Lagos Central senatorial seat, I would want to contest for that seat. Interestingly though, the Lagos Central senatorial seat is currently occupied by Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

Adamawa Speaker lauds PMB for quick intervention in Numan crisis The Speaker, Adamawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji Kabiru Mijinyawa, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the quick intervention and response in the affected communities in northern Nigeria. Buhari on Monday gave a directive for quick intervention and response in Adamawa to assess damages in Demsa and Numan local government areas. Mijinyawa, in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday in Yola, said such quick intervention would bring succour to the communities.

The speaker expressed worry over the spate of unnecessary killings and wanton destruction of property. He called on the people of the state to continue to live in peace with one another and to collectively join hands in maintaining peace and security. “We appreciate the high level of concern exhibited by President Muhammadu Buhari for the quick intervention and response. We express our esteem satisfaction and appreciation to Mr. President for the selfless services being rendered to ensure that peace and stability

are maintained in the country” Mijinyawa said. The Speaker noted that no meaningful developmental projects and economic growth could take place in the absence of peace and stability. He therefore, advised the people of the state to always be security conscious and report any suspicious movements and strange character to the nearest security outfit. The State Emergency Management Agency had confirmed to NAN that about four people were killed, Ten injured and houses torched during

the recent attacks on Bolon village in Demsa Local Government Area by unknown gunmen. NAN reports that the quick intervention response delegation is led by Air Commodore Akube Iyawu, Director Search and Rescue of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Iyawu and members of his team, have already arrived in Yola in Adamawa State to assess the level of damage done to lives and property in the affected areas. NAN further reports that Dr. Muhammed Sulaiman, the

Executive Secretary, Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency (ADSEMA) said that two communities of Bolon and Barai were recently under attack by gunmen. Sulaiman said four people were killed, 10 sustained injuries while many houses were burnt during the attack on Bolon village in Demsa Local Government Area. During the assessment, the delegates visited Barai and Bolon villages and LCCN Cathedral and Numan General Hospital in Demsa and Numan areas.

Bombings intelligence row exposes tension in Sri Lanka government

A family puts flowers on the grave of a victim killed by a suicide bomber on Easter Sunday Nearly four days after churches and hotels in Sri Lanka were attacked in a series of suicide bombings that left at least 359 people dead, the government is facing mounting criticism over its failure to act on detailed warnings that an attack was imminent. The furore surrounds a memo from the police chief that was sent to various security officials on April 11, warning that National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), a locally based Muslim group, was planning suicide attacks on Catholic churches and the Indian High Commission in the capital, Colombo. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attacks, releasing a video in which the bombers, standing side-by-side with NTJ leader Zahran Hashmi, pledged allegiance to the armed group. The memo was the result of a tip-off a week earlier from India’s intelligence agencies and included names, addresses, and even phone numbers of the suspects. When the attacks happened, the government’s two top officials -

President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe - both said they knew nothing about the warnings. Uneasy coalition The two men previously worked together to defeat Sri Lanka’s long-time leader Mahinda Rajapaksa in the 2015 elections, but their relationship has since soured. Last October, Sirisena tried to sack Wickremesinghe, prompting a constitutional crisis. The attempt was overturned by parliament and the courts, but the leaders have continued in an uneasy coalition ever since, sometimes deliberately avoiding each other. Sirisena said he was not aware of the police memo despite being commander-in-chief of the armed forces, head of defence, and head of government. Wickremesinghe said he had not been “kept informed” about what was going on, noting he had been excluded from security briefings since October. “They failed all the people of this country,” veteran journalist Chandani Kirinde told Al Jazeera. “There’s so much distrust between the prime minister and the president after what happened in October. They just don’t see eye-to-eye. Saying that, you don’t know is not a good excuse.”

State Minister of Defence Ruwan Wijewardene acknowledged there had been a “major lapse” in intelligence sharing in relation to the Easter attacks. “The government has to take responsibility,” he told journalists at a briefing on Wednesday. “If the sharing of the intelligence information had been given to the right people at least this could have been avoided or even minimised. The government cannot say that they are not responsible.” Political tensions mount As the death toll continued to rise and traumatised communities buried their dead, the country’s parliament on Wednesday evening approved emergency legislation giving the military the power of arrest and detention, a move that revived memories of the decades-long fight against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), better known as the Tamil Tigers armed group, that ended a decade ago in May. In the debate over the bill, former army commander Sarath Fonseka, who led the final offensive against the Tigers, said attacks of such a scale could not have been planned overnight. He called on the president to step down. “In any other country the entire government

would have had to resign for making a mess of things like this, but it won’t happen here,” he told his fellow members of parliament. “Security has become a joke.” In its battle against the Tamil Tigers, Sri Lanka built a formidable intelligence operation, based largely on field agents and informants, according to a former military commander who spoke to Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity. “We were a country that fought the most ruthless terrorist organisation in the world, the LTTE,” the commander said. “By the end of that battle, we had built an excellent security culture because national security was at the fore.” Security developments were closely monitored and intelligence shared in an integrated structure, that would have made it difficult for the Easter Sunday bombers to plan their attacks without being discovered, he said. The intelligence services and armed forces were also implicated in human rights abuses during the long-running conflict with the Tigers. On Wednesday, the Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando was under pressure from the president to resign, as was the inspector general of police. Wijewardene insisted to the media that the government was determined to show it was in charge of the situation.

“We are asking the people to be vigilant,” he said. “I’m not saying that the country is 100 percent at the moment - there are still a few people out there - but within the next few days we should have the situation totally under control.” Scores of arrests The government said earlier said the attackers involved in the attacks were mostly welleducated and one of them had studied in the United Kingdom and Australia. Police spokesman Rohan Gunasekara confirmed there were nine bombers involved in the attacks, including the wife of one of the bombers who blew herself up when security forces raided their home in the south of the capital. Eight of the bombers had been identified, he added. Some 60 people have been arrested and 32 were in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department, while the others were held at local police stations, he said. The commander said the Easter Sunday attacks should be a wake-up call to the government. “We have to treat this as a serious threat, not a one-off incident,” he said. “When an event this bad happens there can be complacency - that nothing worse could possibly happen. But we still don’t know how many people are really involved. We know there were nine suicide killers, but there could be many more.”

NFF President Pinnick denies corruption allegations Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, has dismissed allegations of corruption and financial misappropriation leveled against him and his board. Pinnick and his board were alleged to have the sum of $650,000 originally meant for a friendly match against Bolivia in Uyo in 2015, given by the former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio. Pinnick revealed in a radio programme, The Hangout, on Metro FM and Bond FM that they were simply misinformed. The NFF boss explained that, the outbreak of the Ebola scourge at that time prevented Bolivia from traveling to Nigeria although they hinged their refusal to honour the international friendly on security concerns. According to Pinnick, the NFF later got Uganda as a late replacement and at the end of the match which was played on the 25th of March at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium Uyo, a match the Ugandans won, the NFF did plus and minus and the balance was given to the Akwa Ibom State government. “We were meant to play Bolivia and it was captured. That money was not given to us by FIFA, it was given to us by the Akwa Ibom State government. I went to the Liaison office in Abuja to see Akpabio then the governor of Akwa Ibom State and he said let’s play Bolivia.” “But because there was Ebola in Nigeria, Bolivia didn’t want to come out to say it was Ebola, they cited security issues because it was the day after the national election that brought in President Buhari in 2015. “After Bolivia turned down our request, we had about 4 days to work out something, that prompted our call to the Ugandans and they were very happy and they came to Akwa Ibom and they even defeated us there in Akwa Ibom. And we did plus and minus and the balance was given to the Akwa Ibom State government.” Pinnick also spoke about uninformed incessant attacks on the finances of the NFF sponsored by

some persons for reason best known to them. On this he stressed that, his tenure was the first on record to publish audited accounts in three national dailies as a testament of their commitment to transparency. “Federal Government funding for the NFF amounts to only about N700m (government funding for the NFF was N1.3bn in 2016 and N1.1bn in 2017 according to the Ministry of Sports), and that the NFF is on the way to being completely selfsufficient. “What do we get from the government? And if you look at it, we don’t even want government to give us money if we have the enabling environment to thrive because we believe football can fund itself and fund other associations. In England, for example, the government gives 25m pounds every year for youth and grassroots development. “We have a budget of about N7bn in a year and if you look at our budget – it’s a public document – it’s less than a billion and the one that is backed by cash (for which the government releases money) is not more than sixty or seventy percent yearly, which means we get about N700m from government. “And if the Super Eagles play three friendly matches, it consumes the money. Aside from the Eagles, we have the U-13, U-15, U-17, U-20, U-23 national teams, male and female.” “To organize a friendly game for the Super Eagles, flight tickets alone costs about $200,000 (about N70m) for twenty-six players at between $6,000 to $10,000 per player excluding match bonuses and allowances taken into account.” He debunked the false allegation that NFF board members are there for personal gains rather they are all passion driven and self-made individuals. “For me as president, I forfeited my legitimate entitlements to housing which my predecessors had always collected as I am not interested in dipping my hands into the NFF finances.” “My predecessor (Aminu Maigari)

Luis Ortiz refuses to fight Anthony Joshua Luis Ortiz will not replace Jarrell Miller as world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s opponent on 1 June, the Cuban’s promoter has said. Joshua was due to fight Miller at New York’s Madison Square Garden – the British fighter’s US debut. But Miller was denied a licence after an “adverse finding” from a sample taken on 20 March. King Kong Boxing accused Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn of using Ortiz, 40, as a “gimmick”. “We just received news from promoter that it’s a nogo and it was all a gimmick and Hearn’s low-ball offers will not be accepted,” wrote King Kong Boxing on Instagram. “No contract even ever got sent so sorry to all the loyal fans. Luis really wanted this title shot.” A new opponent for IBF,

WBA and WBO champion Joshua is expected to be announced this week with Hearn having said the boxer’s “preparations continue” and eight boxers were being considered as Miller’s replacement. Among those under consideration and named by Hearn were Ortiz, Poland’s Adam Kownacki and American Michael Hunter. Ortiz has lost just once in 32 fights, against WBC champion Deontay Wilder in March 2018.

got N12m to N13m every year for accommodation. In four years that is N48m. I have been president for five years, I have the same entitlements, I have not collected a dime for accommodation.” “The reason why I am doing that is not because I have too much money, but simply following my passion. So when I hear people say NFF board members are corrupt I wonder where the corruption is coming from.” “The Executive Members are driven by passion and are not there because of what to benefit; please these people should allow us run Nigerian football.” “From the start of my tenure till date, it’s been one induced crisis to the other. The distractions have remained our only impediment not to attain one hundred percent selffunding by now.” “What we tried to do is to build Nigerian football and allow corporate companies look at it as an entity they can partner not just for prominence or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but a relationship that will also be beneficial to them.” “The decision of some persons to constantly attack me and the board serves no good purpose and has been counterproductive because it ditches the drive to get more private sector partners to invest and help grow the game locally.” “The protracted Chris Giwa crisis cost the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) from going back on television. The flag off of the La Liga / NPFL Under 15 tourney was also stopped. “Obviously, people do not understand the magnitude of destruction which has plagued Nigerian football due to this crisis. The CAF First vice president, also classified the rumors that he has made up his mind to run for the CAF presidency. “Why would I run against my president? We worked hard for his emergence and we have always been close.” Adding that, “discordant tunes are to be expected in any organization.

Christian Chukuwu gets $50,000 support for treatment abroad Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, is reported to have come to the aid of former coach of the Super Eagles, Christian Chukwu with a donation of $50,000. The donation is to help foot the health bills of Mr Chukwu who is set for a trip abroad for further treatment. As reported by TheCable, a $50,000 cheque was presented to the former Super Eagles coach on Wednesday morning in Enugu by Philip Akinola, the COO of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, one of Mr Otedola’s companies. The online newspaper also reported that Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the governor of Enugu State; Amaju Pinnick, the chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF); and Onochie Anibeze, a renowned sports journalist were all present when the donation was made to Mr Chukwu. “The governor just called to thank me immensely and I spoke with Christian Chukwu too. He will be flown abroad next week. I told him he will be fine and I will make sure he is provided with the best health services,” Mr Otedola reportedly told TheCable while confirming the purpose for which the cheque was given to the former captain and coach of the Nigeria national team. Mr Chukwu, with support from the Enugu government, has already done an initial surgery in Nigeria and has been recuperating. The towering defender captained the senior national team of Nigeria when they

won their first –ever Africa Cup of Nations title in 1980, receiving the brand-new Unity Cup from then President Shehu Shagari. He also led the Enugu Rangers FC team that won the Africa Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977. Nicknamed ‘Chairman’ for the authority he exuded as he marshaled the defence and launched onslaughts on the opposition defence for club and country, Mer Chukwu also served as assistant coach of the first team to win a FIFA World Cup trophy for Nigeria – the Golden Eaglets that triumphed at the FIFA U16 World Cup in China in 1985. He was also assistant coach of the team widely known as the Golden Generation – the 1994 Class of Super Eagles that qualified Nigeria for her first FIFA World Cup finals, won the Africa Cup of Nations title and reached the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup in America.
