Forex transactions hit N26.57trn in 5 months Motolani Oseni, Lagos Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange (Forex) market which would in the next few days’ wrap-up transactions activities for the first six months in 2018 has recorded a whopping total traded value of N26.57 trillion between January and May this year, investigations by The Daily Times revealed.

It is instructive to note that forex market represents a platform in which participants are able to buy, sell, exchange and speculate on currencies, and are made up of banks, commercial companies, the Central Banks, investment management firms, hedge funds, and retail forex brokers and investors.

But the breakdown of the figure showed that transactions in Nigeria’s FX market stood at N5.317 trillion or ($14.77bn) in May, a 10.31 per cent ($1.70bn)

decline from N5.929 trillion turnover or ($16.47bn) sold in April.

However, May and April figures were lower than N6.12 trillion ($18.67bn) traded in March, which was an increase of 44.59 per cent against N4.6 trillion ($5.76bn) values recorded in February ($12.92bn).

In January, the FX market had traded $14.01 billion, which was higher than $12.92 billion recorded in February, however, weaker than $18.67 billion transacted in March, 2018.

But turnover transactions value at the Investors & Exporters FX (I&E FX) Window in May was $6.40bn, representing 43.33 per cent of the total FX turnover and a 34.91 per cent ($1.65bn) increase on the value recorded in April ($4.74bn).

The value I&E FX Window, however, traded $6.06 billion in March, an increase of 55.38 per

cent ($2.16bn) relative to the value recorded in February ($3.90bn).

In fact, analysis of FX turnover by trade type showed that the contribution of Member-Client trades to total FX turnover declined from 65.70 per cent in April to 58.90 per cent in May, due to a $2.13 billion Month-on-Month (MoM) decline in turnover.

However, this represented a 78.40 per cent ($3.82bn) Year-on -Year (YoY) increase in MemberClient FX trades turnover.

Similarly, Inter-member FX trades turnover declined MoM by 10.37 per cent ($0.19bn) despite its contribution to the total FX turnover remaining flat at 11.04 per cent.

Conversely, turnover for Member-CBN FX trades increased MoM by 16.14 per cent ($0.62bn) to $4.44bn in May, increasing its contribution to total FX turnover from 23.25per cent in April to

Oyegun hands over to Oshiomhole, seeks APC’s growth

Continued from page 1

Committee (NWC), Oyegun said: “It is my expectations and prayers that yours will be a most distinguished and successful four years; my duty today is brief and short and this is to introduce you basically to what is now your property and headquarters, your building and office and to go through the formalities of a hand over.

I have put my thoughts down briefly, I didn’t want to make it long because thank God you have some of the best minds who have survived the electoral process and will be working with you”.

Some of the things handed over to Oshiomhole included an inventory of all that concerned the party, among which were purchase papers of its headquarters building, list of its current members of staff, and minutes of meetings held by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

Oyegun also explained that the minutes contained decisions made in the past by the party to serve as background documents to avoid distortion of facts in the future.

He said, “I welcome you most heartily and I think that all that is left is to pray that your period will bring signal success which will make the party grow to greater height, knowing your pedigree, I have no doubt that this will become a reality as this party is the smartest in the whole continent”.

He, however, apologized for not handing over on Monday, adding that he needed time to rest after being awake for two days of sleeplessness at the Eagle Square, Abuja, venue of the party´s National Convention

where the new executives were elected.

“For those over 70, such sleeplessness does take its tool, I welcome you Mr. National Chairman, I wish you the best and may God bless you and your team and grant you wisdom in the elections that are coming in Ekiti and Osun states and may God grant you success”, Oyegun added.

Responding, the new National Chairman of the APC said that the place of OdigieOyegun is guaranteed in history, adding that he made record as the party´s national chairman who led it to victory in the 2015 presidential election.

He said: “I thank you on behalf of the newly elected members of the party´s National Working Committee (NWC) for your leadership and leading us to victory in the 2015 presidential election, leading us to win more states. However, there are facts that are stubborn, stubborn facts that are to your credit and I think you have every right to enjoy the fact that you made record as our party´s national chairman.

“When they are going to write the history of internal democracy, stability of leadership and adherence to Constitution in terms of how people come in and when they leave office, you will be captured. You will be the only one in our political history so far since 1999, who was elected and ran the party on its rules and existed in glory on the basis of those procedures provided for in our Constitution”.

Oshiomhole noted that in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 17 years in power, it had 14 national chairmen, adding that Odigie-Oyegun helped the APC to internalize democracy

and due process while in office laying good foundation for others and for the APC especially and would be calling on him for advice.

He said, “I guess you might wish now that you are out of office you are going to be less busy, you are still going to be busy, because am going to trouble you. I can´t learn new tricks at old age; I’m going to trouble you about advice and things I see and how you think we should deal with them as you can be elected into a position, but age is not by election, that is by God, and there is wisdom that is associated with aging; what you have is not only age, but also experience in various facet of life”.

He assured that the party´s new NWC would build on its former national chairman´s legacies and improve on the records on ground.

Oshiomhole was elected as the APC unopposed national chairman through affirmative vote at the party´s just concluded national convention after three other aspirants stepped down for him.

Meanwhile, during interaction with members of the party officials, Oshiomhole, at the party secretariat, sacked an impostor who claimed to be the Director of Finance of the party, Timothy Akojoru who has been on the party’s payroll without proper documentation as a bonafide staff.

Oshiomhole said all members of staff should be prepared to work, saying that; “We are ready to increase staff salary but all must be seen working”.

He added that resumption time is 8am while closing time will be 4pm, saying that there will be no unserious staff at the secretariat.

Forex transactions hit N26.57trn in 5 months Continued from page 4 30.06 per cent in May. Analysis of FX turnover by product type showed that turnover in FX Spot and Derivatives declined MoM in line with the trend in FX turnover, with both declining by 9.74% and 11.31 per cent respectively.

In May, the 23rd Naira-settled OTC FX Futures contract (NGUS MAY 30, 2018) with a contract size of $503.12mm, matured and was settled, whilst a new $1.00bn 12-month contract (NGUS MAY 29, 2019) was offered by the CBN at N363.47.

In May, the Naira depreciated across all FX windows/markets, losing N0.41 at the I&E FX Window to close at $/N360.97 from a dollar at N360.51 as at April 30, 2018 and a N2.03 spread to the dollar at rate at the parallel market which closed the month at $/N363.00 (from $/N362.00 as at April 30, 2018).

Meanwhile, Inter-Member trades recorded $2.00billion in March, an increase of 47.15 per cent ($0.64bn) relative to the trades recorded in February ($1.36bn), and a 237.28 per cent ($1.40bn) increase YoY ($0.59mm).

The Member-Client trades stood at $10.98 billion, an increase of 47.50 per cent ($3.54bn) from the previous month and an 84.12 per cent ($5.02bn) increase YoY ($5.96bn).

Member-CBN trades recorded $5.70billion in March ($4.11bn in February), representing an increase of 38.48 per cent ($1.58bn) and a 277.17 per cent ($4.19bn) increase Year on Year ($1.51bn) as the effect of the Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS) continued to boost activity in the FX Market.

The 21st Naira-settled OTC FX Futures contract, NGUS MAR 28, 2018, worth $437.52m, matured and settled in March, whilst a new 12-month contract – NGUS MAR 27, 2019 – for $1.00bn, was introduced by the CBN at $/361.96.

The Inter-Member trades recorded $2.00 billion in March, an increase of 47.15 per cent ($0.64bn) relative to the trades recorded in February ($1.36bn), and a 237.28 per cent ($1.40bn) increase from year-on-Year.

During the period under review, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had moved closer to realising its single exchange rate target by unifying dollar buying rates for banks and Bureau de Change (BDC) operators.

The development, which has brought stability to the foreign exchange market

and showed CBN’s proactive approach to ending multiple exchange rates, tipped to permanently send currency speculators out of the market.

Commenting on the development, President, Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, said: “We believe the CBN’s policy direction and the BDCs’/ Banks’ rate unification promotes efficiency, transparency, price discovery and will help phase-out multiple exchange rates regime.”

The Daily Times recalls that the CBN during the month under review finally announced that Bureau De Change (BDC) operators and commercial banks will buy dollar at same rate and sell within same margin, as market watchers saw it as a masterstroke needed to eliminate multiple exchange rates in the industry.

However, many financial pundits believe the rate unification also captured CBN’s commitment and readiness to end the multiple exchange rates that have remained a plague to the industry, and in its place, entrench single exchange rate regime that serves the interest of all stakeholders.

Speaking further on this development, ABCON boss, Alhaji Gwadabe, said the speed at which the naira recovered against the dollar after the CBN’s announcement, buttressed the BDCs’ massive influence in the market and economy.

He said the BDCs have so far stamped their role as key players in the forex market, where they remain major economic drivers creating employment and wealth for the people. These contributions, he said, require that the operations of BDCs be supported to sustain ongoing market rally and stability.

He said, “We commend the CBN’s bold move in unifying the BDCs’, banks’ rates. We can safely say that the threat of distortions of market rate by election anxiety have been mitigated by the policy.

And the BDCs are committed to supporting the CBN’s policy direction and actions to sustain ongoing market stability.

“The impact of the rate unification is massive, including raising foreign investors’ confidence in the domestic economy, boosting the foreign exchange reserves position and creating opportunity for a better foreign reserve management by the apex bank.”

He assured that the BDCs will continue to meet the critical forex needs of the retail end-users and stick to allowable transactions limits as approved by the regulator.

IPOB: Abaribe in court as judge orders access to his lawyer Co-surety wants court to order Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest

Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered the Department of State Service (DSS) to allow Senator Eyinaya Abaribe who is been held incommunicado access to his lawyers.

The order was sequel to an oral application made on his behalf by his lawyer, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume (SAN), asking the court to order the release of Abaribe, who was arrested by the DSS last Friday over undisclosed reasons.

But complaints about Abaribe’s detention dominated the hearing of an application filed by Federal Government, asking the senator to show cause while N100million bond he entered as surety for the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu’ s bail should not be forfeited.

Senator Abaribe, who was arrested last Friday by DSS was brought to court on Tuesday by the operatives of the DSS. The other sureties are a Jewish Priest, Ben El Shallom and an Accountant, Tochukwu Uchendu whose bonds of N100 million each also are at stake following Kanu mysterious disappearance during a military raid in his father compound.

When the matter came up on Tuesday before Justices Binta Nyako, Abaribe’s lawyer, Chukwuma- Machukwu Ume (SAN), told the court that his client who was arrested last weekend over his role in the IPOB matter, was brought to court in chains by the DSS. While stating that Abaribe since his arrest has been held incommunicado by the security agency without been charged to court, Ume said Abaribe’s arrest is capable of jeopardizing the trial.

He therefore urged the court to order the release of Senator Abaribe from the DSS custody.

But Justice Nyako stated that since the arrest of Abaribe was not a matter before him, there is nothing the court could do, adding that in situation such as this, Abaribe’s lawyer ought to know the next step to take.

Abaribe

However, following much pleading

by Abaribe’s lawyer, Justice Nyako requested for the DSS official who brought Abaribe to court and ordered that he be allowed access to his lawyers.

The judge said, “Allow him have access to his lawyer, you cannot hold him incommunicado. No matter what reason he is been arrested, allow him access to his lawyers”.

Earlier, Ume and lawyer to the second surety, Aloy Ejimakor informed the court of a motion they both filed challenging the jurisdiction of court to entertain the matter on the grounds that the order served on their clients to show cause why they should not forfeit their bail bond or be remanded in prison custody did not comply with the law.

They therefore urged the court to set aside the order for lack of jurisdiction.

But the lawyer to Tochukwu Uchendu, the 3rd surety, Frank Chude, informed the court of an application he filed on June 25, asking the court to order the arrest of Nnamdi kanu.

Uchendu, in the motion filed on his behalf by Chude is seeking for an order of court directing the police to arrest and produce Nnamdi Kanu in court.

He also sought for an order of court

suspending his obligation on the bond until the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu is established.

The application, which was brought pursuant to section 174 (A) and (B), 177 and 179 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and section 36 of the 1999 Constitution, was rooted on four grounds.

In a 23-paragraph affidavit in support of the motion, Uchendu, predicated his motion on the grounds that the court had granted the 1st defendant (Kanu) bail on the 25th day of April 25, 2017.

He pointed out that while Kanu was on bail; he had a confrontation with the military, an arm of the state, and “that since then his whereabouts is unknown and he has not being seen”.

Uchendu, in an affidavit he deposed to, averred that after the invasion of the residence of Kanu by the Nigerian Army on September 14, 2017, he has not been seen in the public.

“I am unable to communicate with the 1st defendant and his whereabouts unknown to me”, he said.

Uchendu further averred, “That Kanu has not been seen in public since the 14th day of September, 2017, when the agents of the state (soldiers) invaded his house in Isiama Afaraukwu, Abia state.

“That the invasion of Kanu’s home on 14th September by the military has ostensibly frustrated his bail and made it impossible for me to bring him to court as stipulated by the terms of the bail”.

He therefore pleaded the court not to punish him for the unforeseen circumstances created by the Nigerian soldiers which has practically frustrated his duty as surety.

Lawyer to the Federal government, Shuaibu Labaran, who was served on Monday with sureties motions, told the court that he was prepared to proceed with the hearing and that he will reply the sureties applications orally on point of law.

But, Kanu’s lawyer , Ifeanyi Ejiofor, raised a complaint that he was not served with the sureties motions .

Consequently, Justice Nyako adjourned the matter to November 14, 2018 for hearing.

Convention: How Police embarrassed Buhari, APC leaders, delegates Bonaventure Melah, Abuja The Nigeria Police high command is yet to give reasonable explanation why President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigeria as a country were embarrassed on Saturday at the Eagle Square Abuja, venue of the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Delegates from some states including Imo and Delta had engaged in free for all fights inside the Eagle Square, a few meters away from where Buhari was giving his speech, many of them using stones, woods, chairs and tables as weapons that were thrown on opponents with many sustaining various degrees of injury.

The embarrassment caused the nation by the ugly development has raised some questions on why delegates to a political event many of who may be thugs could be allowed few meters to the President.

The fights at the APC national convention took place in spite of the massive deployment of officers and men of the Nigeria Police and other security agencies.

The Daily Times recalls that the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters had on Friday, June 22, 2018, a day before the Saturday Convention, announced the deployment of 5,000 Police Officers and Men as well as two helicopters to cover the event.

The 5,000 officers were drawn from the Police Mobile Force (PMF), the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) and Special Protection Unit (SPU). The Police also deployed the Explosive Ordinance Department (EOD), the Police Mounted Troop, Dog Section (K9), the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (FCIID), the Police Air-wing and the Force Armament Unit.

According to Jimoh Moshood, the Force spokesman, the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, had directed the implementation of the arrangement to ensure a secured and hitch-free convention, and that the police air-wing and the Force Armament Unit have been deployed under the supervision of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Department of Operations, to ensure adequate security for the accredited participants at the convention.

He added that two police helicopters and six armoured personnel carriers were also deployed for security at the convention.

He said, “Personnel of other security and safety agencies are also being deployed to complement the force in ensuring adequate security and a hitchfree convention,” adding that only accredited delegates and party officials bearing the APC clearance/identification tags would be allowed into the venue.

“Personnel of all Security and Safety agencies deployed for the security of the convention must also wear the certified identification tag conspicuously at the venue,” he said.

Jimoh also said that only one aide would be allowed to follow their principals into the venue of the convention.

“The Nigeria Police Force hereby warns all unauthorised individual(s) and group(s) who have no business with the convention to steer clear of the venue. The full weight of the law will be applied on any person or group of persons who try to disrupt the orderliness and conduct of the convention.

“The Personnel deployed are under strict instruction to be civil, polite but strict and firm in the discharge of their duties during the convention,” he said.

But in spite of the assurance by the Police and huge deployment which caused heavy traffic inconveniences for Nigerians going about their businesses in and around Eagle Square that day, reports had it that many unaccredited delegates were able to find their ways into the venue of the convention where they caused massive disruption of the exercise for some hours including interrupting the President’s speech with fights.

It is Instructive to state that the fights at Eagle Square couldn’t have started without the occurrence of some acts during which the Police should have brought the matters to an end, thereby preventing such ugly incident preceding the fight including entrance of fake or unaccredited delegates, complaints, arguments, shouting matches, shoves, commotion and then actual fights. How come the Police could not bring the situations under control before they went out of hand?

Many people have expressed concern over the possibility of stones or pebbles hitting the President while the fights lasted or political opponents capitalising on the fights to attack the president, leaders of the National Asembly, governors or other leaders of the party who were at the convention.

According to a public analyst, Mikel Nzeribe, the there was no justification whatsoever for the massive deployment of officers and men of the Police if the Force has no capacity to prevent what happened on Saturday.

“What then is the essence of deploying 5,000 personnel to disrupt traffic if the Police cannot prevent a fight inside the venue of the convention, even right in the presence of the president?” he asked.

The situation was made worse because apart from local and foreign journalists resident in Abuja, there were more than 2,000 additional journalists from around the world that had converged on Abuja that were attending the International Press Institute (IPI) World Congress that weekend who must have watched the national embarrassment.

‘Ugwuanyi, reference point in NDLEA success story’ Moses Oyediran, Enugu The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has lauded Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s uncommon affection and remarkable contributions towards the success story of the agency in tackling drug abuse and illicit trafficking in Enugu State.

The agency said that Gov. Ugwuanyi’s disposition has been a source of motivation, adding that the gesture was responsible for the various “unimaginable” arrests of drug traffickers and seizures of illicit drugs it has made in the state in recent times.

Speaking at the event commemorating the 2018 International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking,

held at the headquarters of the NDLEA in Enugu, the State Commander, Dr. Anthony Nkem Ohanyere, stated that “it has never been so good since Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi became the governor of this state”.

The international event also coincided with the inauguration of the command’s auditorium, which was newly refurbished by the state government and named after Gov. Ugwuanyi.

Dr. Ohanyere disclosed that the governor has been “very supportive” of the agency, adding that his administration “rebuilt this edifice for us and made us to become a national pride, a reference point in the NDLEA”.

The state commander noted that Gov. Ugwuanyi’s supportive role was also “because of the love he has

for the youth of this state and the interest he has in their future and proper upbringing and wellbeing”, assuring the governor that his investment in the command “will never be in vain in Jesus Name, Amen.”

Dr. Ohanyere further disclosed that the governor’s motivation led to the discovery of “a clandestine laboratory in Udi local government area last year”, where “20kg of Amphetamine was recovered”, which he described as “the most dangerous and expensive illicit drug in the world”.

He also revealed that the command “in the first half of this year, has already made a seizure of one ton of illicit drug; that is 1000kg”, saying: “We also a few months ago discovered another clandestine laboratory at Umuokorouba in

Ozalla, Nkanu West L.G.A”, among other locations.

In his opening remark, the Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, who chaired the occasion, equally commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for his support to the security agencies in the state.

The Archbishop maintained that the “indefatigable” governor has done so well in ensuring that the NDLEA discharged its responsibilities effectively in the state.

He equally applauded the state command for the judicious utilization of the governor’s support and assistance for the fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking, stressing that “NDLEA must be supported

to stop illicit drug abuse in the country”, which he said “is damaging a lot of people”.

In his response, Gov. Ugwuanyi, who commended the NDLEA State Commander and staff for their impressive performance in the fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking in the state, also applauded their efforts at infrastructure and facilities upgrade at the headquarters “with the funds provided by the state government upon a request from the command”.

According to the governor, “the prompt refurbishment of this auditorium along with other works, bear further testimony to their commitment to this noble objective”.

Gov. Ugwuanyi, while highlighting the dangers of illicit drug use and trafficking,

reemphasized the need for intensified efforts towards tackling the threats, through “strict enforcement of relevant and extant laws, adequate public enlightenment and the provision of necessary health, counselling and rehabilitation services”.

“Given the very special and crucial nature of its duties, I wish to assure the state command of the NDLEA, that we will as a matter of policy, continue to offer our firm cooperation, support and assistance towards ensuring even greater successes in the operations of the agency in Enugu State”, the governor pledged.

Gov Dickson: No apologies for removing ghost names from payroll The Bayelsa State Government has said that it owes nobody any apologies for removing ghost names from the over-bloated payroll in the state.

The Government also stressed that, the decision to flush out unqualified workers, who came into the public service, through dubious means should be commended by all well-meaning citizens.

The State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, stated this at the Oporoma, headquarters of the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area during the grand finale of a grassroots sensitization programme on the state government’s public sector reforms on Monday.

Mr. Iworiso-Markson, who described the various town hall meetings as a huge success, said the strong support expressed by the people would

give government the needed impetus to drive the reform process to success.

He reiterated that, no amount of blackmail would truncate the process, stressing that, those crying foul over the reforms are people, who were benefiting from the bastardized public service being rescued by the government through the reforms.

While reassuring genuine workers of improved welfare, he debunked rumours making the rounds that government would scrap the Rural Development Authorities (RDAs) established by previous administration.

His words, “There is no such plan. We have repeatedly assured our genuine workers that the reforms would not adversely affect any of them.

But it’s a human system, so if any one of them is inadvertently affected in any way, he or she should approach

the complaints desk.

“And I can assure you that the mistake will be rectified immediately. That is the directive from His Excellency, the Governor. But for those workers, who came into the service through the back door and those of them who used fake certificates, we have no apology for removing their names from the payroll because it’s the right thing to do.

“They have no business in the service. And it will surprise you to know that it is the people who have been defrauding the government over the years that are making the loudest noise.”

The Government’s Spokesman thanked the chiefs and people of Southern Ijaw for coming out in their numbers for the meeting and for the support they have been giving to the Governor Seriake Dickson-led administration right from its inception.

Fielding questions from

the participants, Mr. IworisoMarkson, assured the people that government would give some preferential treatment to the area in terms of number slots in the ongoing recruitment of 1000 graduates in view of its size both in population and landmass.

In their separate remarks, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Konbowei Benson, and the Chief of Staff, Government House, Rt. Hon Talford Ongolo, urged the people to reciprocate the love Governor Dickson has shown to the area by supporting the reforms.

According to them, the reforms would enable government to save more money to take care of workers welfare and push the ongoing Yenagoa-Oporoma- Angiama Road before leaving office.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Caretaker Committee Chairman of

Southern Ijaw, Mr Kia Ebidoughebofa Nigeria, commended the government for instituting the reforms, noting that the council saves about five million naira every month after payment of salaries.

Other stakeholders, who endorsed the reforms were retired federal permanent Secretary, Amb. Bolade Igali, political appointees and lawmakers from the area as well as traditional rulers, including the Ibenanaowei of Bomo Clan, King Joshua Igbugburu.

The Chairman Bayelsa State Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Adolphus Ofongo, Vice Chairman of Joint National Association of Persons with Disability in the area, Mr. Preye Ebis and women representatives, including Hon. Ibiba Aye-Agele, Mrs. Elizabeth Bidei and Mrs. Rosaline Igunis also made submissions at the meeting.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has commenced comprehensive assessment of the recent windstorms in Bauchi and market fire disaster in Azare to provide further supports to the victims of the disasters.

Director General of NEMA, Engr Mustapha Maihaja said Tuesday in Abuja when he received the Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar.

The Director General of NEMA said the assessment would be jointly carried out with officials of the Bauchi State government to ascertain the damages and come up with modalities on how to further support the communities in addition to the initial intervention by the agency.

A statement issued by the Head, Media and Public Relations of NEMA, Sani Datti said Engr Maihaja sympathised with the Bauchi State Government over the disasters and said President Muhammadu Buhari who had earlier visited the state, has directed NEMA to fully support the victims, a task he said the agency is prepared to accomplish.

The Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar said the visit was a follow up to appreciate the prompt response of the President and intervention of NEMA to the victims of the disasters.

The Governor said the Bauchi State Government was prepared to collaborate with the Federal Government and any other organization or individuals towards the restoration of livelihoods and reconstruction of the damaged homes in Bauchi and the Azare Market as well as providing any other supports for recovery of the market traders.

Plateau killings, threat to peace, national unity - Gani Adams

Patrick Okohue, Lagos

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has joined other prominent Nigerians, to condemn in strong terms the recent killings in Plateau State.

He described it as a threat to national peace, unity and a dangerous signal to the corporate existence of the country.

He said the murder of innocent Nigerians by suspected killer herdsmen was one killing too many, he condemned the act, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to do everything possible to make Nigeria safe for its citizenry.

In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, Adams said “In all the developed countries across the world, security of lives and property is prominent to the government.

“The situation where about 200 innocent people got killed in a country is too much

and unacceptable to us as a people. The figures in all these killings keep increasing day by day, however, the recent attack in Plateau is disturbing, and we cannot continue to live in denial.

“We cannot pretend not to know that the security situation in the country is begging for urgent attention and solution. By saying all is well with us as a nation is to live in denial. The Nigerian government is not doing enough on the security situation in the country and every reasonable Nigerian must condemn these acts of ruthlessness.”

Meanwhile, Aare Adams also expressed concern over the kidnapping of Olori Olukemi Agunloye, wife of Alahuga of Ahuga Akoko, Oba Samuel Kehinde Agunloye, in Akoko North West. The Queen was kidnapped by unknown gunmen.

“Given the present situation in the country, including the Kidnapping of the Ahuga Queen, it is obvious that nobody, no matter your status in the society is safe.

Gani Adams And as I have rightly said, our government should wake up and save the situation. It is becoming unbearable to Nigerians.”

In the same vein, Aare Adams, condemned the Federal Government’s plan to spend N70 billion of the budget on the establishment of ranches in 10 states, describing it as a misplaced priority.

“The Yorubas don’t always forget history in a hurry. Our

experience in Yoruba land between 1824 and 1835 was a sad reminder.

“However, there are better solutions to the issue of herdsmen attacks and killings, other than the establishment of ranches in states.

“A situation where the Federal Government spends N70 billion of the budget on the establishment of ranches is not too good for the nation’s economy,” he said.

Plateau killings: Protect Nigerians than 2019 campaigns – PFN tells Buhari Titus Akhigbe, Benin-City The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has again bemoaned the state of insecurity in the country.

The PFN in a press statement endorsed by the National President of the body, Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude and made available to newsmen in Benin City, totally condemned the recent killings of scores of innocent Nigerians in Plateau and Zamfara States.

The PFN which called on the federal government to be more committed to safety of lives and property of Nigerians, note that any government that cannot protect its people does not deserve to remain in office.

“President Mohammadu Buhari should immediately bring the mindless killings going on in the country to a halt because Nigerian lives, whether Christians or Moslems are very important.

The perpetrators of these dastardly acts must be fished and punished appropriately,” Dr. Omobude stated.

He called the President and the ruling-All Progressives Congress (APC) to rise up and fulfil one of their major campaign promises

of securing the lives of Nigerians, adding that actions are better than mere assurances.

“Never in the history of Nigeria have the lives of Nigerians been so very cheap. Today, people in any guise can kill with impunity and get away with it. Hundreds of people are being slaughtered at regular intervals and the criminal elements seem not to be brought to justice?

“There is need for our government and security forces to be proactive instead of reactionary. They should learn to be on top of the situation by acting before the criminals strike. Besides, there is need for an urgent review of the nation’s security apparatus so as to make it more effective”, the PFN national president said.

The PFN urged the President Buhari and other Politicians, particularly those in APC to attach same vigour and seriousness they are giving to 2019 campaigns, to issues relating to the safety of lives and property of Nigerians.

“How can we be campaigning and singing with 2019 general elections in the country when the nation is on fire with several innocent Nigerians being killed on a daily basis?

What happened in Jos very bad - Buhari Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has described the recent killings in some communities in Jos, the Plateau State as an unfortunate incident assuring that he has directed security chiefs in the country to remain vigilant and ensure the protection of lives and property in the country.

Buhari said this on Tuesday while speaking during an interactive session with stakeholders in Plateau State in the aftermath of the recent killings by some suspected Fulani herdsmen.

He urged traditional and community leaders to complement government efforts by persuading their constituencies to tolerate one another for peace and unity in the country.

The President said, ‘‘I will continue to pressurise members

of the law enforcement agencies directly under me by the Constitution as the Commander-in Chief. About eight days ago, we had five hours security meeting of the service chiefs and the InspectorGeneral of Police. ‘‘What happened here in Jos is very bad. The question of leadership, from your household to whatever you are, is justice. The bottom line is justice. ‘‘That is why wherever I go, I will always appeal to the leadership of the communities, the law enforcement agencies to always have control of their constituencies.”

Condemning the latest clashes in Plateau State, which left scores dead, President Buhari, who was accompanied to the meeting by Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State and his counterparts from Kebbi and Niger, condoled

with the affected families, the Government and people of the State, and wished those injured a speedy recovery.

The President also used the occasion of the interactive session attended by traditional rulers, community and religious leaders, representatives of youth, women and trade union groups, security chiefs and some top government officials to appeal to Nigerians to avoid inflammatory utterances that endanger peace or promote conflicts.

Buhari said, ‘‘Whatever is being given to the media, we have to be very responsible about it. ‘‘Take for instance the situation in Benue. The Benue subsistence farmer knows that the Nigerian cattle herder that he knows doesn’t carry nothing more than a stick, occasionally sometimes something to cut grass to feed his cattle.

‘‘But the present herder, I am told, carries AK-47 and people are even blaming me for not talking to them because maybe (they say) I look like one of them. ‘‘There is some injustice in these aspersions.”

According to him, “It is noteworthy that many Nigerians still acknowledge that despite the security challenges, this administration has made notable successes in the security sector.”

Earlier in his remarks, Governor Lalong blamed parties in the conflict in the State for reneging on their agreement to maintain peace, leading to the recent upsurge in violence, after nearly three years of calm and normalcy in the State.

The governor said, “We are concerned as a State that the sophisticated weapons used in these attacks, from the evidences on the ground and

the narrations of victims, are not those conventional to our environment for self-defence but reflective of a terrorist invasion. ‘‘It, therefore, demands a justified response like that which was undertaken to address the Boko Haram insurgency.”

The governor also requested that given the number of villages completely ravaged in the violence, the Federal Government should establish an Emergency Special Intervention Fund to help reconstruct the destroyed communities.

President Buhari also listened to the presentations and recommendations made

by Alhaji Nura Abdullahi, State Chairman, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Mrs Florence Jambol, a representative of the Berom community in Plateau State, on engendering peace in the communities.

The State Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal with a team of detectives to OPC shrine located under Opebi Link Bridge in Lagos on Tuesday.

Lagos police demolish OPC shrine, arrest 3 suspects Joy Anyim, Lagos The Lagos State Police Command have uncovered a shrine where members of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC) carry out trials by ordeal of suspects, and arrested three persons.

The State Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal who led a team of detectives to the shrine located under Opebi Link Bridge on Tuesday, also ordered for the immediate demolition of the structure.

Briefing journalists on the discovery, Edgal disclosed that the shrine was uncovered following credible information from officials of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Security and Safety Corp (LSNSC) who had

suspected movement of people in and out of the shrine.

He also stated that preliminary investigation had revealed that some of the victims brought to the shrine were tortured to force them to own up to a particular crime they are being tried for.

Items recovered at the scene also included three POS machine that was believed to have been used to extort money from victims, mobile telephone sets, ATM cards belonging to some victims.

According to the Commissioner of Police, “Based on the information, I had directed a team of undercover policemen led by the DPO Ikeja to mount surveillance around the area. So yesterday officials

of the Neighbourhood Security Safely Corps saw a man who was being dragged into the shrine.

“They were attracted to the place by the screaming which they heard coming from the victim. They quickly informed the DPO who moved his men to the scene where three persons were arrested and the victim rescued.

“In as much as we believe in community policing and community partnership, but let me sound a note of warning to any group of persons who may want to take laws into their hands that the command will deal decisively with members of such groups.

“Members of OPC have been helpful to the command in the

past. We see them as partners.

But as you can see, some group of persons under the guise of OPC have erected an office under the Opebi link bridge where they take people to try them by ordeal. They also have a shrine here where they take victims to. I believe that they force victims to take oath. We will not tolerate this in any part of the state.

“Three persons have been arrested. One of the victims was freed. We are investigating and all those behind this barbaric act will soon be rounded up. When they are arrested they will be made to face the wrath of the law. “ Edgal further maintained that nobody or group of persons is allowed by law to

detain a person.

“As a law abiding citizen you are only allowed to arrest and after which the suspect is handed over to the police who have the constitutional responsibility to investigate and after which charge the suspect to court.

“What is POS machine doing inside their office?

Investigation has revealed that some robbers go about with POS machine. They make their victims to transfer money to their account at gun point. We are going to be thorough in our investigation. We won’t allow any miscreant to run amok in Lagos.

“I have also ordered that the shrine and the office be demolished,” he directed.

Atiku in Delta, says still consulting Obasanjo on 2019 Nosa Akenzua, Asaba Former Vice President and presidential hopeful for 2019, election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday in Asaba told said he was still consulting with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on ways to achieving his ambition of becoming the president of Nigeria come 2019.

Atiku who recently decamped from the All Progressive Congress (APC), to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has come under continued criticisms by many Nigerians who allegedly described him as unserious politician.

But Atiku in a swift reaction said “what I am doing at present is consultations with local leaders across the country to see how we can revamp the destroyed economy by the present administration. When we are voted into office, we will repair the destroyed economy that has brought tears, hunger and unending killings of our innocent brothers and sisters, especially in the Northern States. The situation right now, is precarious, and it’s only the PDP leaders across the country that will help to strengthen our country”.

On why he dumped APC for PDP, the Turaki Adamawa said “I am not regretting my decision making because I know I will rule Nigeria come 2019. Nobody can stop me.

What some people are doing is cheap blackmails, am not a thief, and I will not be because I fear Allah a lot. What I have come to do in Delta state is to sensitise my people to support my aspirations of becoming the president of Nigeria”.

Atiku assured the people of his immense contributions to strengthen Nigeria’ s economy with a view to ensuing peaceful coexistence among different ethnic groups across the country, adding that “all hands must be on deck to ensuing peaceful coexistence among different ethnic groups”.

Lamenting the continued killings in four States, Benue, Jos, Abakaliki, and Maiduguri, the presidential hopeful said “this is clear that President Buhari has failed in all areas. So what is he doing there? When we are voted into office, all these would be corrected. Nigeria at present is almost desolate; it is unfortunate in the country called Nigeria, many things have gone wrong, but we must do our best to justify why PDP leaders insist on taking over the country.

Obasanjo, people say he will support me, is my boss, and we are seriously talking, and very soon, we will reach a conclusion.

He is a boss I respect so much, and so those who vowed it can’t work, will be disappointed, I shall be the president of Nigeria come 2019”.

Education Osifeso advocates concerted efforts in nation’s education dev’t Esther Taiwo A fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS) and the Chairman, Mapcotec Nigeria Limited, Surveyor (Dr.) Segun Osifeso, has called for the collective efforts of all Nigerians towards the attainment of an articulate educational system and optimum use of the human and material resources in the sector.

Osifeso, who said this in a chat with newsmen at Ota, Ogun State recently, noted that the government should be commended for its various policies aimed at reviving the nation’s education sector.

He commended the commitments of the various levels of government towards the actualisation of educational growth in the country, adding that the effort of the government was apt especially at a time when the world was battling with economic recession.

Osifeso stated that the nation was very proud of the initiatives of the Federal Ministry of Education and urged the private sector to assist in rebuilding the nation’s hitherto moribund education sector.

“The government has done the nation proud by giving necessary attention to education and what we need is to encourage them and assist in providing the much needed enabling environment for the government’s various educational programmes”, he said.

TheMapcotecchairman,however,applauded the government for its contributions to the sector as reflected in various developmental activities, which have been backed up by increase in budgetary allocations to the sector and the efforts to provide more facilities in our higher institutions of learning.

Osifeso, therefore, called on Nigerians to show concern towards the search for a sustainable growth in the nation’s education sector and support all government’s efforts aimed at giving quality education to desiring Nigerians.

Abuja varsity names 150 Professors, associate professors Idu Jude, Abuja The University of Abuja recently promoted several professors and staff of the institution. According to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Michael Adikwu, besides the full courses and interim accreditation attained by the university, 150 senior academic staff were recently raised to the level of Professor and Associate Professor with an equally large number of other ranks of the university promoted.

The administration of Professor Adikwu was said to have also attracted a grant of 500,000 Pounds Sterling from the UK geared towards research

in hypertension and sickle cell conditions. He stressed that as a backbone that has powered the nation’s economy, research would continue to be embraced.

Speaking at a students’-staff friendly meeting, Professor Adikwu recalled that constant dialogue between students and the University management in Nigeria would discourage crisis in Nigerian Universities.

Professor Adikwu having expressed concern at the spate of breaches of security at the institution in recent times, said that good steps were being taken in securing the academic community against criminals.

Meanwhile, the Governing Council of the University of Abuja

has confirmed the appointment of Malam Rufa’i Ahmed Babba as the new Bursar of the university.

A source told The Daily Times that the Council at its 47th Extraordinary Meeting approved the recommendations of the University Board which interacted with applicants for the post and finally recommended Malam Babba from a list of nineteen applicants.

The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the university, Alhaji Sani Maikudi, has given strong indications that the Council might seek the intervention of the Federal Government and agencies involved in the construction of projects at

the university to facilitate the completion of some of the projects.

Alhaji Sani Maikudi regretted that projects in the university had stopped for one reason or the other while they were far behind their completion periods with serious consequences for the planned development of the institution.

Alhaji Sani, who shed tears while addressing staff of academic departments and units during his faculty tour of the university with members of the Governing Council, said that there was faculty deficit which he said must be addressed if the Institution is to realise its full potential.

FUNAAB management set to complete hostel accommodation Esther Taiwo Three blocks of hostels that will accommodate about 459 students will be completed before the end of this semester, all things being equal, the management of Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State has said.

The hostels are part of stakeholders’ oriented projects that are nearing completion under the relatively young but highly focused Professor Felix Kolawole Salako’s Administration.

that the current Administration has made some notable milestones in terms of projects delivery and infrastructure development in general.

Referring to the hostels, Architect Anasanwo assured that when completed, the three blocks of hostels will go a long way in alleviating the existing problem of accommodation on campus.

According to him, this is simply because the blocks of hostels have sprawling and specious 39 rooms and they will accommodate 153 students each.

The Director noted that though the new blocks of hostels won’t be able to accommodate the teeming students, however, it is another demonstration of Management’s unrelenting

efforts at addressing the needs of stakeholders.

It would be recalled that the Vice-Chancellor had been reiterating Management’s genuine commitment to alleviating the challenges of students, one of which is inadeaquate accommodation.

Speaking further, the Governing Council Member (Internal) revealed that the College of Food Sciences and Human Ecology (COLFHEC) Phase 2 is also ready to be occupied while the Academic Building is near 70 percent completion.

FUNAAB sets up business ventures for capacity building Esther Taiwo The Deputy Vice Chancellor (Development), Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State, Professor Lateef Sanni, has affirmed the University’s commitment to making impact as a University of Agriculture in Ogun State and beyond the shores of the country.

Professor Sanni stated that the university intends to realise this feat through its recently commissioned root and tuber processing factory and the up scaling of other ventures within the University.

According to him, the initiative for the processing factory stemmed from an earlier project under the Department for International Development (DFID) Cassava/Fufu project, led by the immediate past ViceChancellor, Professor Olusola Oyewole, alongside other researchers in the university, which brought about the introduction of fufu flour.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor, however, noted that not much was realised after the initial breakthrough until the university was able to use combined funds

from the European Union (EU), European based market project, called EU Gratitude Project, EU Cassava Goods Market, Cassava: Adding Value for Africa, World Bank upscale Flash Dryer Project in West Africa and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). These were projects mostly facilitated

by Natural Resources Institute of the Greenwich University, United Kingdom, in collaboration with Professor Andrew Wesby, Professor Tommy Kits and Professor Ben Bennett, as well as all the Projects Directors, Coordinators and Managers of the various projects.

He said that “now the facility has the capacity of producing nothing less than six tons of dry fufu powder in a day and that’s huge when you look at the amount of cassava that will be used in a year from that kind of enterprise. Also, that same facility can produce High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF)”.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor disclosed that the University had since commenced the inclusion of ten percent HQCF in the bread produced in the University, noting that the University community and others who

patronise the bread will be healthier for it because it will help curb the danger of Celia disease that may arise from eating 100 % gluten wheat food.

According to him, the production of HQCF by the University has also helped in addressing the need for inclusion of a significant percentage of local substitute which is nutritionally good as an addition to wheat.

The University don further disclosed that the processing facility can produce multiple products beyond fufu and HQCF for bread to include garri, yam flour, plantain flour which is very useful for diabetic patients and the elderly, starch and tapioca with the same facility.

Speaking on the possible output of garri that can be produced with the facility, Professor Sanni said: “We have the capacity now to produce nothing less than 1 to 1.5 tons of Garri in a day. That’s a good amount of volume, income, employment opportunity for the young ones, especially students and the retirees who now have the opportunity to come in as incubatees because the same facility can serve as an incubator to train future investors in cassava

processing facilities and that’s actually the essence why the IFAD sponsored us because we are going to be hosting private sector investors”.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor disclosed that “the University Governing Council is planning a situation where it replicates what it has done for the UNAAB Micro Finance bank to the Industrial Processing Unit. That is where shares will be sold like a Limited Liability company and people, members of staff can buy ome shares and it’s going to be semiprivatised”.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor noted that the implication of the semi-private partnership is that the private sector would be managing the facilities in the nearest future with the University having its normal representative on Board and sitting as Chair of the Board.

Professor Sanni added that “we want to expand the bakery level, the fish level and want to capitalise on our manufacturing base. They will serve as platforms for our academic programmes and at the same time serve as income earning ventures to the university, to sustain some of the expenses.”

Redeemer’s varsity, BrandiQ partner on 2018 Youth Leadership Forum Esther Taiwo The Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, in partnership with BrandiQ, a Lagos based media outfit, is set to host a strategic 2018 Youth Leadership Forum organised to galvanise Nigerian youths toward playing a more active and responsible leadership role in national development.

The theme for this maiden forum is: “Youth Leadership for Sustainable National Development”. The event is scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 7, 2018, at the exclusive and prestigious Metropolitan Club Hall, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has confirmed attendance to the event, will deliver the keynote address, while Mr. Tony Elumelu, Chairman, United Bank for Africa, would be the Special Guest Speaker.

Other seasoned analysts with proven leadership records have been lined up as panelists to discuss the issues thrown up by the Keynote Speakers and the Special Guest Speaker.

The Panel of discussants will include Prof. James Tsaaior, Academic Director, Pan-African Conferences, Lagos; Prof.

Vincent Anigbogu, DirectorGeneral, Institute for National Transformation (INT); Omotola Bamigbaiye-Elatuyi, Regional Marketing Manager, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser; Folake Ani-Mumuney, Chairperson, FBN Insurance Brokers and the General Manager, Marketing and Corporate Communications, First Bank of Nigeria Plc. The audience at the forum will include students from various tertiary institutions in Nigeria, select senior secondary school finalists, young professionals

of diverse career paths, business executives, diplomats, government officials and select members of the public. The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, will be the Chief Host.

Commenting on the event, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Z. Debo Adeyewa, said: “As a state-of-the-art world class tertiary institution, Redeemer’s University and BrandiQ are undertaking this venture, which time has come, because of their firm belief in preparing the youths for leadership positions. As one of the foremost private universities in the country, Redeemer’s University firmly believes that leadership selection and grooming is a planned enterprise, and that serious nations embark on it to ensure continuity of socioeconomic and political progress that serves the common good”.

“This is why all our graduates are equipped with the required

leadership skills-set that prepare them to face the unique challenges of the 21st century. We are a serious research based institution that is globally renowned for research and academic exploits.

The University’s modules are deliberately and strategically designed to produce knowledgeable and confident graduates who can stand the pressures of life and adapt to the ever changing situations in our dynamic society.

In particular, the University nurtures in the students the spirit of entrepreneurship, so that, its graduates would be in a position to create jobs rather than rely on government employment, which is now indeed scarce,” Prof.

Adeyewa added.

Furthermore, the co-Convener and Publisher of BrandiQ, Mr. Desmond Ekeh, explained that the goal of the special event is to ignite in the Nigerian youths, at

an early stage, the consciousness for purposeful leadership.

Quoting Socrates, Ekeh said: “The secret of change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” He added that, “We want to follow this path because, we know that, development is fundamentally mental. So if we nurture the mind while it is fertile, we will in future reap a basketful of disciplined, God-fearing, virtuous, committed, visionary and honest leaders to sustain Nigeria’s future development”.

According to him, “Nigeria is going through a rout of leadership deficit, and we cannot continue to stand aloof and do nothing about it, hence the Redeemer’s University and BrandiQ - having had a long standing relationship - decided to organise this programme as one way of finding solution to the leadership challenge in Nigeria”.

Poet’s Corner This is Nigeria

By Ismail Asma’u Umma This is Nigeria Where our society has gone astray.

And things feel gray.

Where our youth wake to one gloomy day after the other.

And the society makes us feel as though we’re being smothered.

This is Nigeria Where we hold the title of the Yahoo Yahoos And we tend to give goodness a little adieu.

Where the poverty takes up 33.170 in our economy.

And the poor become another statistic.

This is Nigeria Where 195 million cannot stay in peace And every day we mourn a deceased Where the rich are held up And the poor locked up.

This is Nigeria Where corruption is laced around our name A characteristic we refuse to light aflame Where inequality and instability are present Where the music’s become our food And no one feels the urge to be good.

This is Nigeria We’ll wall and scream But who will feed on the lies and deceit Where our mouths are taped shut because an honest man Is now like a diamond.

This is Nigeria Where we cannot complain Because if you look closely we’re the ones to blame Because who will listen to a country of liar, a haven for deals.

This is Nigeria Where we play victim card to get pity we don’t really deserve.

How data and content is powering marketing

W

Cathy Ibal

hen I started out my career in the media industry twenty years ago, pan-regional data was scarce and based on many assumptions, but we used it the best we could to gain insight into our audience, their behaviour and response to programming and advertising campaigns. Fast forward to 2018 and we are in another world where an evergrowing range of data points help us to understand audience habits, what content they consume, how and where they do so, and how this fits into their lives. Take the smartphone for instance - Google’s 2017 Connected Consumer Survey found that smartphone penetration had grown to 60% across Africa, and we know that users on the continent are very sophisticated in using their phones to make online payments as well as staying connected and consuming news and other media on the move.

All the data created through this usage can be used to create insight that can inform all parts of media and marketing decisionmaking such as distribution strategies, real-time advertising campaign optimisation, and understanding audience behaviour. This all comes with

the important caveat that data must be used responsibly in a way that respects the user, their privacy and experience.

African brands are very aware of this trend, and at CNN we are increasingly speaking to our clients on the continent about how data is now an integral part the solution we are delivering.

Still, it is refreshing that however sophisticated our data strategy is, clients still share our passion for the content itself. In the rush for data, media brands and advertisers must guard against focusing too much on data and losing sight of the value of content. For maximum effect, a balance of the two elements is required. For instance, data can give a clear indication of what type of content will best work for certain audience demographics.

Facial recognition and other technology can be used to test particular campaigns on audience focus groups to judge their responses to particular creative approaches. But, always there is an element of intangibility about why a particular creative approach to editorial and branded content and advertising elicits an emotional response. This intangibility lies in the minds of the brilliant content creators and has many other factors pertinent to the media or advertiser sending the message such as existing brand attributes and

affiliation built up over time. The intersection between content and data differs greatly depending on the campaign, its objectives and platform approach. For a highly targeted digital campaign with a need to reach specific segments, data will play a dominant role in development, execution and delivery. Whereas, a big, bold TV-led brand-building campaign designed to raise awareness amongst various audience groups will have a greater focus on the creative over data. The two forces co-exist in both examples, but at varying levels.

My team at CNN work across over 100 countries spanning Europe, Middle East and Africa, adapting this data and content approach depending on the client’s needs and objectives.

We are genuinely excited to be working with many valued advertising partners in Africa who are embarking on highly innovative campaigns and want to experiment and be bold in their marketing strategies. One good example is Dangote Industries – a long-term partner who this year became the first African brand to be part of Great Big Story, which was launched by CNN and Turner in 2015 to tell amazing stories that appeal to intellectual, curious and connected consumers. In addition, Dangote continued its brand building campaign on CNN TV and briefed our branded

content studio to develop a new 360-degress campaign across multiple platforms. By taking this multi-platform approach, Dangote is leveraging the best of both the TV and digital ecosystems and drawing on tangible insight based upon the data of how CNN audiences consumed its content.

Data can then be used to help inform Dangote’s own business and marketing decisions and give greater understanding of core audience groups. This most certainly isn’t an isolated example.

Over 70% of the campaigns that we work on with international advertisers are multi-platform – some are predominantly TV, supported by digital, mobile and social, others are digital led but with a TV component.

We are continually impressed with how African brands are eager to be at the forefront of experimenting with new techniques being used in media and marketing. But please don’t confuse being ‘impressed’ with being ‘surprised’. In a continent that in large parts is leap-frogging other nations in technology adoption and understanding, my team at CNN is looking forward to collaborating with African brands for yet more fresh thinking and ‘media first’ ideation. The only certainty is that data and content will be the two factors that continue to power this innovation.

Digital engagement as vital component of sustainable business

A

Alp Uysal

s millennials come to dominate the c o n s u m e r landscape across every industry, brands will be hard pressed to drive the digital engagement that will help them prosper.

According to the most recent installation of Ericsson’s biannual Mobility Report, as 5G wireless technology is rolled out, millennials will become the largest generational segment and in their prime years of consumer spending. As the youngest members of the millennial cohort – those born between the early 1980s and early 2000s— have begun to enter the workforce, in turn accumulating more disposable income, this generation has been shaping up to become the most valuable generation by global marketing standards. Arguably the most influential consumer contingent to date, it’s no wonder why the efforts to target and capture the revenue potential associated with the millennial segment is pervasive.

As millennials move into their prime spending years, their impact on industry and the economy will be unprecedented. They are already disrupting business in new ways with their shifting buying habits and unique purchasing priorities. Unlike the generation before them, millennials are avoiding large purchases and long-term investments in favor of buying experiences, comforts, and convenience. In the same vein, they

have spurred the formation of the sharing economy, engendered by companies like Spotify, Uber, and Airbnb, as their hierarchy of needs evolves from that of the generations before them.

Among their most defining characteristics, however, are millennials’ technological aptitude and fierce brand loyalty – a pair of mutually dependent traits in today’s ultra-connected world. The millennial cohort is thoroughly digitally dependent, having come of age during the same decades that smartphones and the internet began to permeate every aspect of modern life. In the same stride, millennials have turned to the internet and social media to inform their purchasing decisions and brand awareness. Given that millennials were the first generation to grow up entirely in the internet age, their tendency to consult online reviews and to compare products and prices online comes naturally.

Beyond engaging with fellow purchasers online, millennials also have an affinity for brands with a favorable online presence. In recent years, digital branding on social media has become paramount for millennials, with brands keeping their customers updated and invested via social networks. What’s more, when brands do more than merely exist online – making an effort to actually engage with their consumers via email and social media – millennial buyers are significantly more likely to invest in their products. In the age of the millennial market, buyers want brands to connect on a human level

through gestures like responding to customer service emails, tweeting back about customer experiences, and replying to comments on Facebook.

As millennials increasingly redefine the consumer marketplace as a whole, brands must embrace the changes associated with a digitallydriven generation dominating the modern business landscape. In order to build sustainable businesses around the millennial market, digital engagement is vital; and as branded content and assets become increasingly digital, tailored to a younger and more technologicallysavvy audience, the ability to establish a strong digital brand will make or break enterprises’ success.

The function of digital engagement is to utilize technology to create more appealing, engaging, and personally relevant consumer experiences that foster lasting relationships, better customer satisfaction, and ultimately, more sustainable sources of revenue.

It is the adaptation of traditional branding tools and tactics to be used in the digital marketplace – a space that everyday becomes less distinguished from the physical marketplace. Digital engagement in business today is the lifeblood of any successful brand, and it is a vital component of business sustainability.

In order for brands to adapt to the needs of the millennial consumer base, their digital presence must be backed by a technical and operational backbone that facilitates the rapid creation and delivery of assets, curated for specific audiences

based on criteria like their location, activity, history, device or service.

The art of digital engagement depends heavily on the availability of technological tools and digital resources supplied by ICT operators that enable the expert utilization of them as a means to a market-specific end. In line with this, Ericsson – one of the world’s leading providers of ICT – has developed a product portfolio designed to help brands connect with the increasingly valuable millennial generation.

With increased network intelligence and efficiency from Ericsson, brands will be better equipped to meet millennials’ high expectations for immersive and interactive content and assets.

Additionally, organizations will benefit from network automation that simplifies operational processes and helps industries digitalize in the face of the millennial-led technological transformation. In an evolving consumer landscape defined more and more by millennial participation in tandem with digitalization, Ericsson is providing the connected solutions that will help brands stay ahead.

In a world where business and industry are increasingly dominated by the ever-disruptive millennial generation, digital engagement is a crucial tool in building a sustainable business. With a continually growing sum in millennial spending power on the line, brands will be hard pressed to embrace the digital engagement that will make or break their business in the coming years — and Ericsson will be a driving force behind this evolution.

Ten years after Lamidi Adedibu

Times Columnist reuben abati

‘

One week after his burial, his political acolytes returned hoping that his family will sustain the feast. They were turned back. The pots and pans used for cooking had been packed aside. Over 90 mattresses used by the army of boys that thronged the “palace” had been packed together in a heap to be disposed off

,

I

t has been ten years since the self-styled “strong man of Ibadan politics”, Chief Lamidi Ariyibi Akanji Adedibu, died.

He died on June 11, 2008. I do not recall seeing many tributes or advertisements in the newspapers or other media commemorating his life and legacy. There was no public lecture or any important statements from those who were his protégés. That this is so is a useful lesson to today’s political Godfathers and henchmen in Nigerian politics who behave as if history has already assigned to them an immortal space on its pages.

Lamidi Adedibu was a colossal presence in the politics of Ibadan, and Oyo state for more than 50 years. Ibadan has a tradition of colourful politicians who wielded enormous influence: Adegoke Adelabu, the brilliant orator and intellectually gifted personality who authored “Africa in Ebullition”, and whose use of the phrase “peculiar mess” got transliterated by his illiterate audience as “penkelemesi”; Chief Mojeed Mobolanle Agbaje, the first Ibadan man to become a lawyer, and son of Alhaji Salami Agbaje of Ayeye, Ibadan who was the richest man in Ibadan in his time and the first to ride a car (1915) and build a house with cement; Chief Meredith Adisa Akinloye, an alumnus of the London School of Economics (LSE), founder of the Ibadan People’s Party (IPP), Chairman of Ibadan City Council and in the Second Republic, Chairman of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN); and Alhaji Busari Adelakun, the “Eruobodo” (“the river fears no one”) of Ibadan politics. There is hardly any other Ibadan indigene apart from these gentlemen who has been more influential in shaping the tone and shape of Ibadan politics and by extension, the politics of Oyo state.

Local Ibadan politics is a combination of thuggery, populism, inconsistency, clientelism and intellectual opportunism, with service to the people thrown in as a lower measure.

Lamidi Adedibu lacked the intellectual gifts of Adelabu, Agbaje, and Akinloye, or the oratory of Adelabu – he was much closer to Busari Adelakun, who was his mentor. In an instructive book titled “What I saw in the Politics of Ibadanland”, Adedibu has already given his own eye-witness account from his beginning days with the Ibadan People’s Party and the Action Group, later the the National Party of Nigeria during the Second Republic, but he truly came into his own as the main Godfather of Ibadan politics with the ascendancy of the People’s Democratic Party in 1999 and especially in 2003 when he was recruited by President Olusegun Obasanjo for his second term bid. He filled the vacuum created by the exit of Alhaji Busari Adelakun, and in that aspect, he established himself as a master of the game using violence, mass appeal, and philanthropy to determine political outcomes. During the Second Republic, Alhaji Busari Adelakun was credited with having helped Chief Bola Ige of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) to become

Governor.

The main task of that branch of Ibadan politics represented by Adelakun and his followers, was to help deliver the votes, by any means possible. Adelakun would go from one polling booth to the other, and ensure that his clients won the vote. He was later rewarded with the position of a Commissioner (first Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and later, Health) in the Bola Ige government.

Both men would soon fall out, and Busari Adelakun resigned in anger. He famously swore that nobody could ever occupy a position that he, Adelakun, left in anger. It then happened that his immediate successor in the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy died in the hands of his own sibling. He was beheaded. Adelakun’s successor in the Ministry of Health also suffered stroke. He on account of this became a mythical figure. He would later defect to the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) with the threat that he would get Bola Ige removed as Governor. He supported Chief Victor Omololu Olunloyo who eventually became Governor. His word came to pass. But the Olunloyo government was short-lived. General Buhari struck in December 1983 and Adelakun and other NPN chieftains were herded into detention. He took ill in jail and died subsequently.

It was Lamidi Adedibu who sustained this tradition of prominent Ibadan politicians playing the role of the Godfather, and masters of the politics of clientelism. Unlike Adelakun, he didn’t have to follow the able-bodied boys, masquerading as members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), who snatched ballot boxes in those days and stuffed them.

He had the entire city under his control in a manner nobody else before him did.

Every major thug in the town reported to him, and he used them against the opponents, but he also at the same time took very good care of the ordinary people who delivered the votes to ensure victory for his clients and friends. Lamidi Adedibu, with the failure of the Alliance for Democracy in the 2003 election in Oyo state, became effectively the most influential politician in Ibadan politics, Oyo state politics, and one of the leading lights of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He held court and juggled the balls from his extensive home in Molete, Ibadan. That was where he held court. He was Ashipa Olubadan but he had his own palace - where he decided the political fortunes of politicians who came to him for help, or persons seeking political appointments. It was not for nothing that he was known as “Alaafin of Molete”.

His home was a palace unto itself.

He was also the exponent of “Amala politics” – what is now known as the politics of stomach infrastructure. Every day, Adedibu kept his home open for the ordinary people of Ibadan. Whoever was hungry knew that if they went to Adedibu’s home, they would get a good plate of piping hot amala and a drink to wash it down. Ordinary people who

could not pay school fees or hospital bills or rent went to him in his palace to ask for help. He supported them willingly. He was not a herdsman but he had a miniranch in his home, at any time, there were more than a dozen cows waiting to be slaughtered to feed the people, goats also, and rams and pigeons. Everyday in the Adedibu home was like a festival. He reportedly kept more than 100 vehicles, to be mobilized at short notice to pursue any political cause. The whole of Ibadan city came to regard Adedibu as the real government: he ran a government of his own. It wasn’t long before he became a national figure of real importance.

Prominent politicians visited him at home, and as they did, they brought bags of money, which in any case, Adedibu shared to the electorate. The politicians who took him as their Godfather expected him to help them deliver the votes on election day and the people who went to his house to eat and collect money waited on him to tell them how they should vote in every election. He would soon become so influential that the then Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Ahmadu Ali described him at a point, as the “garrison commander of Ibadan politics.” President Olusegun Obasanjo also visited him at home once, welcomed by a cavalcade of drums and pageantry, and he ended up describing him as the “father of the PDP”. Even politicians from other parts of the country who may not have needed him in their own constituencies, patronized him all the same. In his own immediate political constituency, his boys did as they wished. They unleashed violence on political opponents while the state authorities looked the other way.

Adedibu was above the law. He was the ultimate Godfather. He once quipped: “…Let me tell you, constitution or law, that is for you men. God has his own law.” There was no one like that before him, and there has been no other like that after him. He projected himself as a Robin Hood, but he didn’t really like the poor, he used them for his own relevance.

In 2003, he had reportedly helped to install Senator Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja as Governor of Oyo State. He himself said so. That is what people like him do - they would help to install a client in a position of political authority. They would then afterwards collect rent in form of cash and appointive positions and exercise influence over public policy. Adedibu and Ladoja soon fell out. Adedibu told the public that he had a prior agreement with Ladoja that he must pay to him, every month, 50% of the state’s security vote, which was at the time about N30 million. Ladoja reneged, insisting that the security vote was meant for security.

The Godfather became angry – he retorted that he was the main security of the state and did Ladoja realize that money was spent to get him into office?

He swore to get Ladoja removed. And indeed he did. Eighteen out of the 32 members of the state House of Assembly, acting on Adedibu’s instructions, met and impeached Ladoja. His Deputy who was also an Adedibu protégé was

immediately installed as Governor.

After taking the oath of office, one of Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala’s first assignments was to go straight to Adedibu’s home to pay homage. He went down on all fours to say “thank you.” Ladoja would later be reinstated by court order 11 months later, but the Godfather had made his point.

The kind of influence that the likes of Lamidi Adedibu wielded is a metaphor for the character and level of Nigerian politics. Godfathers still exist in today’s politics and the new Godfathers are just as messianic and as arrogant as their predecessors were. Violence also remains an instrument of persuasion and enforcement, even if since Adedibu’s exit, the level of violence in Ibadan politics has progressively reduced, across the country, many politicians routinely patronize thugs and enforcers.

“Amala politics” still exists in form of “stomach infrastructure” – even when some politicians do not turn their homes into a public kitchen and abattoir, they patronize the people by bribing them with motorcycles or boreholes. In Benue state, Governor Samuel Ortom distributed wheel barrows with the inscription: “Gov. Ortom for you”. In another state, a serving APC Senator donated an electric pole to a community as constituency project and took photographs, in Kano state, Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje bought noodles, eggs, and beverages to empower tea hawkers. Now that we are in an election season, some other politicians will distribute cooked food, bags of rice or photograph themselves eating at amala joints or buying roasted corn by the roadside.

Our politicians have learnt to exploit the people’s poverty. Political Godfathers capitalize on this and turn it into a strategy. When the people are rescued from the poverty trap, they would be less susceptible to the greed and exploitation of politicians. Institutions also have to be built and strengthened to check the menace of Godfathers and their boys who decide electoral choices on the people’s behalf and by so doing, frustrate democratic expression.

As a human being, Adedibu was obviously a strong grassroots mobiliser.

He was also a strong religious and community leader – he built 18 mosques - but his legacy of stomach infrastructure and political manipulation cannot endure in the long run. One week after his burial, his political acolytes returned hoping that his family will sustain the feast. They were turned back. The pots and pans used for cooking had been packed aside. Over 90 mattresses used by the army of boys that thronged the “palace” had been packed together in a heap to be disposed off. The amalaseeking crowd went over to the home of Alhaji Azeez Arisekola-Alao, an Ibadan politician and entrepreneur, hoping he would provide “amala”. Arisekola was a prominent philanthropist but he wasn’t running a public kitchen in his home. One of Adedibu’s sons, ended up in politics and became a Senator, but he did not follow in his father’s footsteps.

Another son reportedly described the late politician as a “dishonest politician.”

Today, the Molete palace is desolate.

The in-house ranch has disappeared. The Nigerian electorate, should be reminded that when a politician offers them food in exchange for their votes, that food will soon digest and end up in the toilet, and you’d need to eat again. When the politician dies, or leaves politics or no longer needs you, you’d still have to eat.

It is better always to vote wisely and focus on the need to build and strengthen public institutions for the people’s benefit.

Editorial Commentary OUR POSITION Government’s expenditure and accountability

C

oming against the backdrop of the need to ensure accountability in the handling of government revenue, enhance transparency and check misapplication of public funds, the President Muhammadu Buhari- led administration introduced the policy of Treasury Single Account (TSA) into public accounting system at the federal level about 18 months ago.

Under the system, all government revenues, receipts and income are collected into one single account, usually maintained by the Central Bank of Nigeria while all payments are done through the same account. n the main, TSA enables proper monitoring of government receipts, expenditure and helps to block most leakages in government.

Such leakages have over the years largely contributed to the slow growth of the economy.

With the introduction of TSA came a better cash management of government funds, elimination of idle funds usually left with different commercial banks and enhanced reconciliation of revenue collection and payment.

In particular, since the accounts of Ministries, Departments and Agencies

(MDAs) of government with the money deposit banks are zeroed every day, the banks no longer have access to the float provided by the accounts they maintained for the MDAs. The introduction of TSA in 2015 has been a source of pain to money deposit banks. This is because prior to the introduction of TSA, public sector funds constituted a large chunk of commercial banks’ deposits. Indeed, when TSA was introduced, the commercial banks held more than N2.2 trillion of public sector funds. The impact of such a huge amount of money leaving the banking system was debilitating and excruciating to the banks and to the country’s economy. Far more disturbing to the banks was the movement of funds of revenue generating parastatals such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), out of commercial banks.

For the banks, implementation of the TSA policy brought some unintended consequences, such as deposit depletion, resulting in low asset quality, decreased revenue and liquidity stress, thus affecting the operation of all the banks and visiting economic hardship on Nigerians at a time the country was going through an agonising recession. In the absence of cheap public

Historical Times in Pictures

sector accounts, the banks were forced to reposition their strategies to survive in the light of the new realities forced on them by the government.

In the main, the banks responded by concentrating more on their traditional roles of savings aggregation and financial intermediation.

To improve their performance, the banks also became more innovative in generating revenue to support their operations and improve their profitability. Some of them increased interest rates on deposits to attract more customers, while some increased the interest rates on their loans to shore up their profitability.

It is admitted that government is the largest spender in the economy. At the commencement of the execution of TSA, more than N2.2 trillion of the Federal Government MDAs’ funds were pulled out of the deposit money banks with debilitating impact on banks’ liquidity and hampering their ability to successfully carry out their financial intermediation. In all, while the coming on board of TSA has helped in no small measure to streamline government revenue and expenditure therefrom, it should not be out of place for the government to fine-tune the policy with a view to address the pains resulting from its implementation.

2018 HAJJ: FCT set to complete third phase of orientation exercise

AT 2

Regularise your titles as safeguard against encroachments, reallocation – FCT Minister Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has charged ministries and agencies that have lands allocated to them under the FCT Master-plan to come forward to regularize such parcels of land by processing their titles. The Minister said this is one way of safeguarding such titles against encroachments or inadvertent

reallocation.

Bello made this call when his Ministry of Interior counterpart, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Danbazzau paid him a courtesy visit in his office on Friday, 22 June 2018. The Minister disclosed that FCT Administration was working to recover all lands in Abuja that were originally designated for Ministries and Agencies in

the Abuja master-plan but were unwittingly allocated for other purposes in the FCT. His words, “With respect to allocation of land to Ministry of Interior and many other ministries that are not housed in the main secretariat, we are working at the areas at the Ahmadu Bello and Shehu Shagari ways, especially trying to identify land within the

designated areas that were originally meant for Ministries but over the years were inadvertently allocated for other purposes. Wherever it is practical and possible, we will try to recover these lands.”

The FCT Minister also indicated that the FCT Administration is also trying to revive the project for the expansion of the Federal

Secretariat to provide befitting office accommodation for other ministries that are not housed in the main secretariat.

He assured, “Again, there is a project that was commenced many years ago as an expansion of the Federal Secretariat which apparently has been stopped.

We will look at it also. We will look at numerous options to be able to see that we are

FCT Minister promotes home-made products at IPI World Congress Stories by Idu Jude, Abuja Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has underscored the enormous investment potentials that abound in the FCT which, he said, is made even more favourable by the sound transportation system and infrastructure being developed in the city.

Bello made this promotion at a cocktail the FCT Administration hosted for members of the International Press Institute (IPI) at State House Banquet Hall, Aso Villa, Abuja, at the opening of the world media confab on Thursday, June 21, 2018. He declared that Abuja’s

rising aviation traffic places it on course to becoming Africa’s aviation hub. He disclosed that the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport now hosts five international flights and counting.

His words, “Abuja’s rising aviation traffic places it at a vantage position to becoming Africa’s aviation hub.

Situated in the heart of Nigeria, you could access most countries of Africa from Abuja at an almost equal flying time.

A major highlight of the occasion was the presentation of souvenir leather puffs to the leaders of the Institute; Barbara Trionfi - Executive Director and John Yearwood - IPI Executive Board Chair.

Speaking on the leather works, Bello

said that the material, which was a Nigerian made product, had wrongly been described as Moroccan leather by Europeans when they first came into contact with the product from Morocco through the Trans-Saharan Trade route. The material, he emphasized, was a product of Sokoto hides-and-skin craftsmen.

He noted that Abuja since it was founded in 1976, sits on an area of 8000sq Kilometres, has grown to become a tourist and conference hub for West Africa. He expressed delight to play host to the IPI Congress, which he noted, provides ample opportunity for the world to see Nigeria for themselves.

Bello stated that Abuja’s investment potentials, favourable investment

climate and regulatory regime, qualifies it as a haven for investors.

He assured participants that FCT Administration is developing a sound transportation system and infrastructure aimed at boosting tourism and commerce.

Responding, Barbara Trionfi Executive Director of International Press Institute (IPI), thanked the Minister for his hospitality and the beautiful gift. She noted that Nigeria has surpassed their expectations as the IPI was having one of its best outings in Nigeria.

In his own remarks, the John Yearwood indicated that IPI was in Nigeria in its 68th year of existence and praised their experience in Nigeria.

able to get proper office accommodation for the Ministry of Interior and one or two others, including Ministry of Agriculture….”

Earlier in his remark, the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Danbazau urged the FCT Administration to have a closer look at the small markets that are springing up around the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the FCT, saying some of the markets have been turned to platforms for sale of dangerous and prohibited drugs.

“Some of them will claim they are IDPs from the Northeast; of course, there is need for us to accommodate these displaced persons but we have to do it in a way that it does not have negative consequences on security. I thought I should seize this opportunity to bring it up so that we can put heads together and know precisely how to deal with the situation,” he said.

Speaking on the Old Secretariat building housing his Ministry of Interior, Danbazzau said, the Ministry is looking for a befitting area to erect a new Ministry Secretariat that would reflect the image and importance of the Ministry. The Ministry he said warehouses the five major paramilitary organizations charged with the responsibility of maintaining the internal security and public safety in the country. He hoped that they should be properly accommodated to perform their functions effectively.

His words, “We’ve tried everything we can do on our own to renovate the old building. We have carried out an extension from the main building with the permission of the FCTA, which we are still working on. Still it’s an area that we thought we should be able to relocate.

We want to make that request for land for a new secretariat.

Lt. Gen. Danbazzau also took up the issue of the Nigerian prisons service and fire service. He thanked the FCT Administration for their support to both institutions.

The Abuja Times 15

Drugs abuse among women frightening -Bello Stories by Idu Jude, Abuja Worried about the spate and perennial problem of illicit drug abuse in the Nigerian capital city and the other states, the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has called on all and Sunday, to rise against the menace to stamp it out.

The Minister, made the call Thursday during a one day workshop organized by the Nigeria Drug Law enforcement agency in

collaboration with the FCT Social Development Secretariat. He described the ugly indecent as frightening, the increasing involvement of women in abuse of drugs in the society.

Malam Bello said the menace, requires a lifetime effort and commitment by all and sundry to mitigate the trend that threatens the survival of the FCT and country at large.

According to him, the development is very

frightening, because of the critical position of women, who constitute about 60% of the Nigerian populace.

The event, which had participants drawn from the six area Councils of the FCT, was organized by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in collaboration with FCTA Social Development Secretariat (SDS).

Bello said:”The problem has to be confronted deep inside our hearts, as it is something that has to be taken as a

lifetime battle “We should not be in denial f the menace, hence the need for everyone to be involved in the quest to tackle the problems squarely.

“Throughout our lives, women have been playing critical role in shaping and advancing the society.”

Earlier in his remarks, NDLEA Chairman, Col. Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah (rtd), opined that the workshop is timely response to the increasing abuse of drugs

among women especially in Northern Nigeria.

made it the third training for schools under this period.

He recalled in 2016, when Learn Africa organized an impressive award event for the three best students in NECO of which the three were FCT products and the two best students came from FCT senior secondary schools.

He therefore commended the Learn Africa PLC for investing in education through training and provision of quality learning materials for greater positive impact in FCT and Nigeria as a whole.

Baba urged the participants to use the training opportunity to enrich their knowledge and make Education in FCT a reference point for high standards. Speaking also, Learn Africa District Manager, North Central, Mr Abeen Emmanuel said, the educational organization was building a strong foundation for learners to keep discovering their potentials in all areas of life in the learning environment which is sustained after school.

Mr Abeen stated further that the aim of the training was to continue to add lasting value to the education sector.

While complementing the FCT Administration’s efforts to ensure the standard of education was not compromised in FCT, he presented their various publications on education in stock for indepth teaching and learning. He expressed his appreciation to the Board for accepting to collaborate with them to move education in the FCT to the next level.

Life & Times

Self-discipline has kept me going - Ebube Nwagbo Delectable Nollywood actress, Ebube Nwagbo, has upped her game by joining the league of filmmakers and becoming one of the most sought after celebrities. The Mass Communication graduate of the Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka in this chat with MUTIAT ALLI, speaks about her foray from acting into movie production, her style and what she like to be remembered for amongst others. Enjoy‌ Was acting your childhood dream?

I will not say I have always wanted to be an actress, but I have always loved to be on television as a broadcaster. But somehow, acting found me and here I am today.

When did it dawn on you that you would make a living off acting?

When I shot my first movie, after the heat, I disappeared. I told them I could not cope with it and I did not want to act anymore. They called me for a second job, telling me that I would be allowed to leave after that. Afterwards, they still lured me to do the third one. Somehow, they wanted me.

I ran away because I felt I could not deal with the pressure and drama.

But, after sometime, I realised that it could be the right place for me.

Now, I do not need anyone to tell me that it is meant for me. If I decide to leave Nollywood today, it is because I want to.

What’s the secret of your staying power?

The industry is very competitive.

What I have tried to do is to be myself. When you be yourself, it stands you out from any other person. If you are trying to be some other person, it is not you. I try to be me and I believe it is slow and steady. So, I would rather be here and steady than being forgotten so soon. I take things one after the other.

As the same time too, I try to be relevant in the industry because it is the only way nobody forgets you.

How did your background contribute to what you do today?

First of all, I come from a very

strict home. Normally, my parents will not allow any of their children to do what I do today. I actually shot my first movie without telling my parents. People who knew me back home still do not believe I am an actress.

But being an actress has not changed me or given my parents reasons to regret allowing me to go into it. It has shaped me more and I do not forget where I am coming from. I am doing this for a reason and purpose and I do not forget that.

I do not forget where I am coming from and it helps me a lot.

Was there any time you wished you were not famous?

Yes, I have felt that many times. I always feel like quitting, especially when they write things about me that are untrue. I think I actually quit, but after a while I said to myself that why should I? Most people who judge me are people who do not know me and you cannot keep explaining to everyone that what they wrote about you was untrue. I have learnt to live my life and focus on what is important.

I think I have grown wiser and stronger. I just see some things as the downside of my job.

What is the major cooking blunder you’ve committed?

While growing up, whenever I made beans, it would get burnt. I do not do that anymore, but making beans then was scary. It would get burnt and undone.

How do you want to be remembered?

I want to be remembered as the lady who made an impact with her beauty and brains. People think

that when you are pretty, you have nothing to offer. Even as an entrepreneur, I try to support young girls and encourage them that they could be beautiful and intelligent.

I went through a lot as a young girl; men will want to take advantage of you. Be who you are; being in the limelight does not make you a lesser person.

How would you describe your style?

I wear whatever I am comfortable with; I do not move with the trend. I like to wear everything, depending on the occasion I am going for. I love everything that has to do with fashion.

17 Relationship

Starting off a new relationship?

Ask yourself if truly you are prepared!

Mutiat Alli

Entering a new relationship is a big deal, particularly when your past relationships have continually failed. If you are having reservations about starting fresh with someone new, it might be best to reflect on your dating habits first. Here are some questions to ask yourself to ensure that your next relationship is the happiest, healthiest one yet.

And if you are looking to settle down with this person; what will they teach their children? Is it the same thing you would want your own children to learn?

7. What do I want out of this relationship?

Maybe you are looking for support, love or companionship. Maybe you are looking for a best friend or maybe you are simply looking for a “good time”. It is important to determine these things before entering into a new relationship. It’s the only way to decipher whether you are in it for the right reasons, and whether or not this person can provide what you desire.

8. Do I love myself?

You cannot love someone else if you don’t love yourself. If you don’t feel deserving of love, you might doubt or deny the love you receive from someone else, which can be extremely frustrating for them.

9. What characteristics am I looking for in a partner?

Confidence? Sense of humor? Humility? Kindness? Motivation? Hard work? Does your prospective partner embody most of these characteristics?

10. Does this person bring out the best in me?

How do you feel when you are with them? How do you behave? Are you able to be your complete self?

1. Am I ready?

Relationships take time and energy. Make sure your current lifestyle is ready for the commitment. If you have a new job, if you are in pursuit of a dream, or if you are endearing a family emergency, it might not be best to throw another human being into the mix. Wait until you are settled before considering a relationship.

2. Am I truly over my ex?

Do not enter into a new relationship if your answer is NO, and you secretly want your ex back. Rebound relationships are not only destined to fail, they are destined to bruise the emotions of your new partner. No one wants to feel like they are a rebound, and no one deserves to be one. The best way to get over your ex is to work on yourself. Decide what didn’t work in your last relationship, and what personal aspect of your own life need adjusting to make your next relationship a success.

3. What did not work in past relationships?

Perhaps you sacrificed too much for your last partner. Perhaps it lacked trust or honesty. Maybe your relationship didn’t work because of distance. Make a list of all the things that went wrong in your prior relationships and find solutions.

4. What worked in my past relationships?

If you don’t recognize the positive aspects of a functional and healthy relationship, it will be difficult to transfer those ideas into a new one. If your own relationships lack insight, look at the couples around you. Perhaps your own parent or friends have harbored long-term relationships, and can lend some advice.

5. What kind of relationship am I looking for?

In other words, how serious do you want it to be? This is important, not only for your own sake, but for the sake of your new, potential partner. Are you looking for a fun fling? Or are you ready to settle down? Be sure to discuss your answer with them before the two of you get in too deep. Avoid wasting time by making sure you are on the same page.

6. Do they share my morals?

Just because someone likes the same activities, or the same movies or books or food, doesn’t necessarily mean they are right for you. You have to dig deeper. Do they have the same beliefs? Not religion or politics. I mean, how do they treat other people in their life? How do they look at the world? What are they passionate about?

11. Am I really interested in this person?

I, for one, have made the mistake of dating someone just because, I was bored and confused and blinded to the fact that they were completely wrong for me. They were great; but they just weren’t great for me, I was more interested in telling them about myself, than learning about them.

12. Would I be proud to introduce this person as my partner?

When you get into a new relationship, eventually, you will have to introduce them to everyone in your life. Are you excited about this? If the answer is NO, I’d run but if the answer is YES, great.

13. Do my friends and family like this person?

Usually, the people who know you best also know what’s best for you. If they don’t like your new partner, it’s probably because they are seeing something you can’t yet.

14. Do I even want to be in a relationship?

If you’ve been in lots of relationships, if you’ve recently gotten out of a draining one, or if you just love being single, maybe you should be. There’s nothing wrong with that.

But if you have considered all these questions above and feel that you are ready, then go for it! We are all rooting for you.

Buhari commissions Cross River

automated rice seedling factory in Calabar

• Lauds Gov Ayade’s policy on Agric Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has commissioned an automated rice seedling plant in Calabar the Cross River State capital established by the state governor, Prof Ben Ayade to boost rice farming in the state.

The President lauded governor Ayade for his transformative policy on agriculture, describing it as a revolutionary, people-oriented and flagship projects which “is very welcome and very satisfying to me.”

Buhari, who commissioned the factory on Tuesday in Calabar the capital of Cross River State, said he was happy that Governor Ayade keyed into the zero-oil economic policy of the federal government and has today become

one of the reference points in Nigeria’s agricultural revolution effort.

The President said that the zerooil economic policy introduced by his administration in 2015, was a roadmap of making the country less dependent on oil, while encouraging investments in other sectors of the economy, particularly agriculture.

The factory, which is said to be the first in Africa, is an automated plant with a capacity to produce high yielding vitaminized and disease resistance rice seedlings, and would employ provide 3000 direct job.

“Exactly two years and eight months ago, I was here in Cross River State.

That visit was historic because, firstly, it was my first official visit to any state after assuming office as President and

secondly, the purpose was to perform the ground-breaking ceremony for the landmark project, the 274 kilometres superhighway initiated by His Excellency, Governor Ben Ayade.

“Today, I am here again in the state to commission yet another visionary and trail-blazing project, the Calabar Rice Seedling Factory built by the state government.

I must say that visiting the state for the second time within three years in connection with people-oriented and flagship projects of Governor Ayade is very welcome and very satisfying to me.

“When we assumed the reins of leadership of our dear country, this administration launched a zero-oil economic roadmap as a way of making our country less dependent on oil, while

encouraging investments in other sectors of the economy, particularly agriculture.

“Our gathering here today is no doubt a determination woven through to precision and a glowing testament to the fact that the policy is working.

Indeed, this factory speaks loudly about the giant strides we are making in agriculture as a country. This monumental project for which we are gathered here today is a marvel to behold,” President Buhari said.

The president said it is expected that seedlings from this factory will improve rice yield from the current national average of 3 to 4 tons per hectare to about 9 to 10 tons per hectare, thus helping to ensure rice sufficiency in the country and doing away with imports and saving foreign exchange for Nigeria.

21 Business Interview

There is growing increase in trafficking of Tramadol, others – Ahmadu pockets of clandestine places for the production of methamphetamine. To that extent, you can say these two drugs I mentioned. Aside from that, cocaine for instance; the coca leaf can only grow in three countries of the world. That is Peru, Colombia and Bolivia. It can only grow in these countries. And these countries are bordered by Brazil. Brazil is bordered by ten countries in South America and it has the busiest airport and seaports in the whole region. So virtually all that were produced have to come through Brazil for onward movement to any part of the world. That is why the go through there. Heroin is grown in Afghanistan but most of the ones that come here come from Pakistan through East African countries. Most of the arrest we are making are coming through East Africa. I have not made any arrest of anybody trying to make cocaine or heroin but these two I told you, that is cannabis and methamphetamine. We are not producing ephedrine but we have made a lot of seizures. It comes in and goes out.

Ahmadu Garba is the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) commander at the Lagos airport.

In this interview with CHUKWUEMEKE IWELUNMO, the commander speaks on “International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking”, the challenges of fighting drug war and efforts the agency is making to reduce the incidence of drug use and trafficking in the country.

By resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987, the General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an international society free of drug abuse.

Supported each year by individuals, communities and various organizations all over the world, this global observance aims to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society.

Building on the success of last year, the theme for 2018 is: “Listen First - Listening to children and youth is the first step to help them grow healthy and safe.”

It is an initiative to increase support for prevention of drug use that is based on science and is thus an effective investment in the well-being of children and youth, their families and their communities.

Sometimes, we do it with school debates and various programmmes that is done at the level of the state command and they co-opt us into it. It is not as if we do it separately.

There seems to be a reduction in the number of your arrests made and what do you think is responsible for that?

It could be a lot of reasons. If you look at manifest so far, you see that a lot of departures from Nigeria but somehow when they are coming back, you see them diverting to other West African countries. There is an upsurge in the quantity of drug seizure because if you look at what we have been able to arrest in 2017 it is a kind of an unprecedented in the last years in terms of quantity and if you look at this year now, we have almost tripled what we have been able to do and what is surprising about this thing is the quantity of Tramadol coming into the country. The volume is much because they are bringing a lot of it, apart from other drugs. There are several upsurge too of either inward or outward trafficking mostly, outward trafficking of Methamphetamine and Ephedrine. These are things that very clear that there is a growing increase in trafficking of Methamphetamine, Ephedrine and Tramadol.

Meanwhile, from January to May 2018, we have arrested 35 persons while the weight of total of drugs seized is 4,634.020kg with Tramadol weighing 4,449.9kg.

In 2017, total weight of drugs seized amounted to 1, 266.4kg with Tramadol weighing 938.554; Ephedrine 108.250; Cannnabis Sativa 96.655; heroin 53.930 and cocaine 51.520. Total persons arrested in 2017 were 85 while total number of cases recorded were 70.

What are usually the mode of seizures? Are they abandoned or the normal mode where they conceal it in their bodies or luggage?

Most of the seizures are not really abandoned seizures. But a few of them are. One of the largest seizure that of Tramadol is an abandoned one. But almost all the seizures have people attached to them.

It is either, even if it is not arrest made at the initial stage, we do follow up and at the end of the day we are able to get those responsible for it. Even this Tramadol seizure is not like we have relaxed. We are still working on it. We are trying to see how we are going to trace the person that import them. In almost all the places, there are people who have been arrested for those seizures and in a few cases where there are no people

Ahmadu

arrested, after follow up investigations, we are able to get this people. I think the success rate of follow up in the command so far has been very encouraging. We are going to do our best to see that we get those who are behind it.

What would you say has been the relationship between your arrests and ease of doing business because we know the various screening tables have been collapsed into one? I don’t know if there has been any challenge in trying to arrest those travelling?

It is a little bit difficult but again you have to respect the fact that we are trying to make adjustment to meet up with the international best practices. That is the idea of ease of doing business. As a country or government, we are trying to up our game in trying to attain international best practices. But we should also try to put some things in place to make sure that some of all these things are not mistakes. It is challenging but we are adjusting and getting results. But definitely, there is need for us to have more equipment in the airports so that, as we are trying to attain international best practices, we will also have new machines to make sure that we don’t compromise the national spirit.

What is your relationship with your sister agencies?

It is cordial and we don’t really have any issues with Customs, FAAN at the management level. I don’t think I have. It is cordial and we try to make the best of what we have. No system is perfect. There is room for improvement and we can do better than what we are doing now.

Every June 26, UN will come up with this campaign but in Europe and other continents, some countries are legalizing some of these drugs. America, Canada are legalizing cannabis. But here they are sponsoring us to stop cannabis. Don’t you think it is counterproductive?

It is not necessarily. You see these are sovereign nations and every country has its own peculiar realities.

For us, I think we have to look at the realities and come up with the decisions that suit our situations. Even them too; they have a feedback mechanism looking at decision they have taken; whether to reverse it. I know recently, I have been to one or two conferences and I think some countries are looking at slowing down or reverting some of these decisions they have taken. We are also guided by two different things. One is there is

‘ ,

this allegiance to religion either as a Christian or Muslim in Nigeria. There are certain things that decisions we take even in government are guided by these things.

I am sure neither Christians nor Muslims will just say legalise marijuana. So I think the realities of these sovereign nations will determine the decisions they take in some of these issues. I don’t think it is counterproductive. UN is just trying to kind of spearhead this issue of drug abuse. They advise countries as sovereign nations on the way to go about it. Whatever the decisions these countries take is their problem. And if you notice one thing, some of these decisions are not taken by the federal government. The decisions in United States for example are taken by states. You discover that the federal law still tells the states that they are illegal.

Every election year, there is a large inflow of drugs into Nigeria. 2019 is around the corner. What are you doing as against 2019 election?

I think the agency is doing its bit. This is June, the second quarter and look at the volume of seizures we have made. It means we are doing our beat and it does not mean there is no room for improvement. June 26 is actually a wakeup call to look at what we have been able to accomplish and then how are we going to make improvements, especially in view of the fact that 2019 is around the corner. February is election and tuggery and everything will start very soon. We are putting our eyes and ears and everything we have all over the place to see that we make as much seizures as possible. And I am sure that is what is obtained in all the state commands.

Part of the programmes, am sure in the state commands is to make sure they do some weeklong aggressive programmes to make sure they sanitise each of the state capital under their jurisdiction. Definitely NDLEA will do what it has to do to, do to make sure they reduce the influx of illicit substances and also try to make a lot of public enlightenment. But there is the need for all and sundry to help the agency to educate people.

AS an expert, do you think Nigeria is a drug manufacturing country?

What I want to say is that it depends on the drug.

It is a fact that cannabis is cultivated in Nigeria. To that extent, we can say yes, we produce cannabis. The NDLEA has been able to discover and dismantled about thirteen clandestine languages that are produces Methamphetamine including Anambra, some in Lagos and most recently in Ogun. To that extent, you will be able to say that somehow there are identified

Whatever the decisions these countries take is their problem. And if you notice one thing, some of these decisions are not taken by the federal government. The decisions in United States for example are taken by states. You discover that the federal law still tells the states that they are illegal

Do you have enough equipment? What are those materials you need to make you operate optimally?

We have a brand new scanner given to us by the Americans recently. We are expecting another new one that is coming to the airport. By and large, we have scanners and they are operational. Thank God, the Joint Border Tax Force project has availed us other things.

We have quite a number of vehicles. We still have manpower challenges because just like other agencies, we need more hands to man some areas of the airports.

We can do with more funds to do effective follow ups and other equipment and special machines. The sniffer dogs are not strictly for airports. It is a unit and it serves us, the seaports and other agencies. They have been there and we use them mostly at the baggage halls.

What has been the relationship with your collaborators?

Our relationship with our collaborators has been wonderful. They have availed us so many trainings. A lot of our staffs have gone for so many trainings here and abroad. I think the relationship has been good. You can see the office and we are doing our beat and results are coming by way of number of seizures. Our relations is cordial.

Any new arrests?

We have new arrests and it is a lot of ingenuity but you have to commend the people that tried to do it. We also have to commend the officers that were able to make the arrests. They are very good arrests. We made up to 6 arrests last month.

What informed the theme for this year’s UN Day for drugs The theme of the year is listen First. It is important for parents to listen to drug users. They should look at it like a sickness. Counsellors first have to know why the child went into drug. They don’t demonise the habit but create an impression so that they can be able solve the problem. What drug addicts need is help. For you to know how they started, so that even if they are rehabilitated, they would not go back. This is why you have to know why they started taking drugs in the first place. You have to know if it is peer pressure or other causes. Sometimes, one of the causes of going into drug is parental drug use in the house. If you drink a lot of beer and come back drunk; or you fight too much with your wife and everyday he gets angry. So we are parents too have to listen to the children.

Your job is a risky job. Have you been threatened before?

We have been lucky but there are lots of threats.

Some officers have been threatened. I have to live my life low profile. But I try to do what is right and I don’t make promises of what I cannot do. Most airport workers are straightforward. There are sometimes people you have convicted will work up to you on the streets and greet you.

What is your message to Nigerians on a day like this?

It is a day for sober reflection looking at the challenges of drug abuse and its trafficking and how it is affecting the youths who are the future of tomorrow.

We need to sit down and look at that reality. There is an increase in an influx of Tramadol and it is creating a very serious problem in this country. It is high time all and sundry stood up and see what they can do.

Everybody has something to contribute to make sure we see to the end of drug abuse in this country.

Osun guber aspirant Oyetola seeks cohesion among APC members Stories: Patrick Okohue Governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Osun State, Alhaji Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola has called on all members of the party to join hands with the new national executive committee of the party to achieve cohesion and unity in the party.

Oyetola made this comment, while speaking with newsmen on the side line of the party’s national convention held at the weekend in Abuja. According to the politician, the time has come for the entire membership of the APC to work in one accord for peace, stability and progress of the party.

While congratulating the new leadership under the chairmanship of former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, Oyetola appealed for party cohesion, saying that was the only tonic required to move forward.

“We must continue to reiterate our unwavering loyalty in the ideals and ideology of APC as this will further strengthen all members of the party across the country,” he said.

On his aspiration to succeed Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Oyetola noted that it is the will

Oyetola

of God and it will be a great opportunity to serve the people of Osun in the governorship

capacity. He however noted that governance is all about careful planning and sustaining of such

plan.

Answering questions on a possible threat from the opposition in Osun, Oyetola dismissed any such insinuation, saying that the All Progressives Congress remained the party to beat in the State. He highlighted some of the progress made by the APC to stabilize the state despite the numerous challenges.

Oyetola said that governance required creativity and that it was what the APC had brought in to Osun since it took over power eight years ago. ‘’This is why it will be difficult for any political group or individuals to match the records of the party in our state,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Osun State stand at the National Convention was dominated by supporters of Alhaji Oyetola. Hundreds of party men and women adorned uniforms with the Ilerioluwa2018 campaign logo and posters visible in every nook and cranny of the convention.

Oyetola is the current Chief of Staff to the incumbent governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. His campaign has embarked on tour of all the local governments in the state to seek delegates’ mandate to fly the party’s flag in the September 22nd election.

CACOL: Killer herdsmen in Plateau emboldened by Buhari’s inaction The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL), has expressed outrage over the attacks on several communities in Plateau State which led to the death of hundreds of people.

Mr. Debo Adeniran, CACOL’s Executive Chairman while reacting to the incident stated that: “over 4,000 people have been killed since late 2001, when the first major ethno-religious riot broke out in Jos. Ethnoreligious rivalry rooted in the allocation of scarce resources and electoral competition have fused into an explosive mix that has persistently disrupted the peace and harmony of those living in the North Central region of the country.

“It baffles every right-thinking Nigerian how nomadic herdsmen were able to acquire so much firepower to send as many as 200 people to their early graves and leave over 250 in critical condition in a single attack. While this attack against natives occupying the middle belt area by the herdsmen predates the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, it would not be out-of-place to state that the herdsmen seem to have become emboldened under this current dispensation, considering the intensity, ferocity and regularity of their attacks.

“This much was confirmed almost immediately after the latest dastardly attacks on Garshish District, Razat, Ruku, GanaRopp, GindinAkwati and other affected communities in the BarkinLadi Local Government Areas (LGA’s) when Danladi Ciroma, the Chairman, North Central Zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in a statement issued after the incident stated inter alia, ‘The attack was a retaliation for the killing of over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the villagers.

“There have been recent reports of cow rustling

and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani herdsmen. The Fulani herdsmen have lost over 300 cows in the last few weeks. 94 cows were rustled by armed Berom youths in Fan village;

Adeniran

another 36 were killed by Berom youths. In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled and the criminals disappeared with them to Mangu. Since these cows were not found, no one should expect peace in the affected areas’.

“What all this points to is that most of all these attacks, either by the host communities or the marauding herdsmen, were retaliatory, condemnable but sadly, preventable.

“While CACOL frowns very seriously at the killing of human beings as retaliation for cow rustling by herdsmen, we also want to remind President Muhammadu Buhari’s government that, the primary duty of any government is the security of lives and property of every community within Nigeria. We note that since this genocide has become a recurrent feature for some time now, efforts ought to have been made to holistically address the root causes of this bloodletting and necessary machinery put in place to nip them it in the bud.

“We reaffirm our support and belief in the antigrazing laws of the respective state governments while lending our weight in support for the plan to set up ranches for cow rearing in consonance with modern and international best practices. This should be done in states that are clearly natural for setting up such venture in collaboration with both the respective state and local government authorities.

“The setting up must be such that, it is devoid of any ethnic or religious colouration as those interested and are available should be trained in the techniques involved in all areas of cattle ranching for profitability and needed employment opportunities as obtained in other leading countries where cattle ranching provide hundreds of thousands of jobs and millions of US Dollars in revenue generated,” he said.

Sani-Bello

APC National Convention: Gov Bello charges new exco on consolidation Niger State governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani-Bello has charged the newly elected National Executives Committee of All Progressives Congress (APC) to consolidate on the gains of the party in the past years and reposition it towards 2019 general elections and beyond.

Governor Sani-Bello in a congratulatory message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace advised the new party executives to imbibe the spirit of team work, commitment and hard work in the discharge of their responsibilities.

The governor who said the party executives should heed the call of President Muhammadu Buhari and other stakeholders, urged them to see the new responsibility as opportunity to serve the party and Nigeria.

“I congratulate the new executives of our great party lead by former governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. I urge you to heed the call of President Muhammadu Buhari on the tasks of placing party and Nigeria interest above self or personal interest.

The exco of the party is elected at a very critical time and must therefore ensure progress and growth of the party.”

The governor commended stakeholders for a peaceful exercise and called on all contestants to imbibe spirit of sportsmanship.

The governor called on the new leadership to abide by the oath of allegiance and oath of office in the discharge of their responsibility.

“The new leadership must continue to entrench respect for the core values of the party. Fairness, justice, party interest should guide your activities.”

Governor Sani-Bello who called on all members of APC to support the new executives, commended the outgoing executives for their commitment, dedication and contributions to the growth and stability of the party.

The New Executive of All Progressive Congress (APC), lead by its new Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole emerged at its National Convention held at the Eagle Square,Abuja.

2019: Oyo PDP leaders close rank, resolve to work together to unseat APC Stories: Patrick Okohue Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Oyo State have promised to work together with a view to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in the 2019 general elections.

According to a source, the leaders among whom are a governorship aspirant in the party, Mr Seyi Makinde; Senator Ayo Ademola Adeseun; former Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Hosea Agboola and former House Leader, Hon. Mulikat Akande-Adeola have resolved in a meeting to put their grievances aside and work in the interest of the party.

Others present at the meeting include Alhaji Azeem Gbolarumi, Honourable Taiwo Alade who represented the former Leader, House of Representatives, Honourable Mulikat Adeola; former Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt Honourable Moruf Atilola, Chief Jacob Adetoro, PDP Secretary in the state, Wasiu Adeleke, Chief Ogunlade, Chief Ademola Adejumo, Chief D.A. Lawal, Mrs Nike Arewa, Honourable Abiola Ayorinde, Honourable Yemi Taiwo, Honourable Hassan Ogundoke, Alhaji Fatai Obabi and other members of the recently

sworn-in party executives in the state.

Their resolve to work in harmony, it was further gathered followed the controversies that trailed the recently inaugurated state executive of the party.

At the meeting held in Ibadan the state capital at the weekend, the leaders of the Makinde group among whom are Senator Agboola gave their nod to the recently harmonised state executives as sworn-in by the National headquarters of the party, with a vow to work with all interested groups in the state to win the state back for the party.

Agboola who spoke on behalf of Makinde group while fielding questions on the outcome of the meeting said the decision was taken after a very robust deliberation on the current situation, especially the newly inaugurated state executives of the party in the state.

He said: “After the December congresses, the Senator Ahmed Makarfi led national executives had made recommendation of a political solution of 14-12, to harmonise the two executive from the two congresses which our group believes will materialise.

“But with the latest decision of the National Working Committee (NWC)

that we should take one executive member per senatorial district. That is; organising secretary (Oyo North district), Financial secretary, Oyo central and secretary, Oyo south, which is contrary to 12 slots we were looking forward to, all members of our group agreed with this decision of the NWC, and gave them kudos in the way and manner the whole issue was resolved which will enable the two congresses at Watershed and Oke-Ado form the state executive.

“So, we have promised that, with the harmonisation of the state executive, PDP will take over the reign of power in Oyo State come 2019.

“On this, everybody has pledged to work for the party to make PDP clear all seats in the state House of Assembly; Federal Representatives, all three senatorial seats and the governorship election come 2019 election.”

Agboola said that another peace committee was working for the party to make sure that all interested groups in the state come together to deliver the state for PDP come 2019.

The peace committee, it was gathered vowed to continue their meeting until all matters in the state was completely resolved.

APC Convention: We are here to support Gov Bindow – Tahir Tom Garba, Abuja The National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday brought many Adamawa State party loyalist, including Barr Ibrahim Tahir, a delegate in a joyous mode, saying delegates were in Abuja to support Governor Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla Bindow who is doing a good job in delivering the dividends of democracy to the state.

Tahir said the performance of Bindow is speaking well and that in 2019 any lover of good governance will support him to have a smooth second term as a governor.

Though he said in order to ensure true democracy everyone is allowed to contest against the governor, who is presumed to be a working governor, but that the best person will always emerge.

Tahir who is known as a passionate

philanthropist who hearkens to the need of the less privilege and downtrodden in the society, insist that the Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government is people oriented that will give leverage to all Nigerians not to selected few.

He commended Bindow for calling the attention of the delegates to imbibe the spirit of unity, togetherness and in making sure that consensus candidates emerged.

The Yoruba pan-socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has described a statement credited to former Minister of Information, Prince Tony Momoh that Yoruba leaders jettisoned the agenda of the region at the 2005 constitutional conference, after pressures from former President Olusegun Obasanjo as tissues of lies.

Momoh, a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had in an interview with a national newspaper, said he once described Yoruba leaders as a “disgrace to those who believe in them” for dumping the Yoruba agenda at the conference.

Reacting to the statement, National Publicity Secretary of the organisation, Yinka Odumakin, challenged Momoh to name the Yoruba leaders who betrayed the cause of the Yoruba nation.

Shedding light on what transpired at the conference, the Afenifere spokesman said, “The President of Ohanaeze, Chief John Nwodo, said to Chief Bisi Akande at the 10th memorial of Senator Abraham Adesanya that if elders like him can no longer speak the truth because of APC card, Nigeria is in deep trouble.

“In like manner, I will say if an elder statesman and veteran journalist whose words people should swear with like Prince Momoh begins to deal in low-quality rumours and fake lies, Project Nigeria is doomed.

“We were all in this country in 2005 when the political conference took place. All delegates to that conference were handpicked by the government.

The leaders of the regions were not allowed to pick their delegates as governors did the picking.

“Leaders of Yoruba tried to influence the governors as PDP controlled five states then, except Lagos.

“We had a meeting with the PDP governors in Ladoja’s office in Ibadan.

Gen Alani Akinrinade, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, and some of us were there.

“The governors agreed to set up a Technical Committee headed by Chief Richard Akinjide, myself, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, Mr. Remi Olatubora, and about 10 others.

“We met for three days at the University of Ibadan and got our report ready, mirroring the agreed positions of Yoruba for the conference.

“We went back to the governors in Ibadan and met a totally hostile bunch who rejected all key ingredients of Yoruba agenda and they would not consider anybody who would not toe their line as a delegate.

“We left them realising they were not going to follow the Yoruba agenda.

“Otunba Gbenga Daniel offered to keep the Technical Committee to keep the pressure on delegates in Abuja.

“But those of us who were independent of the governors declined further participation as our chairman had already openly disowned our report and the governors were going to play their game.

“Leaders of Yoruba retreated and empowered a committee to launch the Yoruba agenda rejected by the governors.

“Our Committee, headed by Ambassador Olu Otunla, launched the document at Okokan Stadium with Yoruba leaders in attendance to let the world know our stand.

“Aside from the PDP governors who frustrated the agenda, Afenifere also accused Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was the only governor then in the opposition, of moving against the agenda by producing a Lagos agenda.

“The Lagos State which was not under PDP which should have at least been a fall back was not there as Tinubu also rejected all main planks of Yoruba agenda and produced a Lagos agenda.

“Yoruba participation at the conference was therefore governmental, and I challenge our revisionist Prince to name those Yoruba leaders who betrayed an agenda that did not get to Abuja.”

On the claim by Momoh that there was no way President Muhammadu Buhari could have called for the release of the late MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the June 12 presidential election during his detention under Abacha, Odumakin said the former national chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) should be in hiding now for saying Nigerians should stone APC leaders if they fail to perform.

“You remember Prince Momoh was the Information Minister when Dele Giwa was parcel-bombed in 1986?

“He promised the country there would be a judicial probe of the incident. He was to later say such a probe would serve no purpose.

“How do you expect such apostle of double-speak to accept anybody to make the right call in a moment of moral crisis?

“Was he not the one who said Nigerians should stone APC leaders if they failed them during their campaign in 2015? Should he not be hiding now if it were a decent clime?”

Odumakin asked.

Egypt great Hossam Against expectations, Hassan throws his hat into Nigeria crash out of World the ring for Pharaohs job Cup, lose 2-1 to Argentina

Marcos Rojo’s late winner put Argentina through to the round of 16 at the World Cup with a 2-1 victory against Nigeria on Tuesday night.

The South Americans came into the match knowing they needed three points to escape Group D. And their talisman Messi had them in front just before the 15-minute mark when he settled an Ever Banega pass over the top of the Nigeria defence and beat Francis Uzoho to put Argentina up 1-0.

The goal snapped a 660-minute scoreless drought at the World Cup for Messi, who last scored against Nigeria in the

group stage of the 2014 edition in Brazil.

Uzoho came up with two great saves either side of the half-hour, keeping out Gonzalo Higuain from close range and then getting a fingertip on a Messi free kick from just outside the penalty area that would have found the back of the net.

Nigeria were level at 1-1 through a penalty kick soon after the restart when John Obi Mikel converted his attempt from the spot after Javier Mascherano was whistled for a foul on Leon Balogun following a corner kick.

Argentina were fortunate not to concede

another penalty just before 80 minutes when a headed clearance by Rojo hit off his arm, forcing the referee into a video review after which he did not give the spot kick.

Minutes later, Gonzalo Higuain missed a golden chance to put Argentina in front, but he skied his first-time effort from a Rojo cross well over the bar.

And it was Rojo that would score the winner for Argentina, smashing in a first-time volley from a Gabriel Mercado to give his team the lead and put them through to the round of 16 for a matchup with Group C winners France.

UEFA lifts ban on alcohol in Champions League stadiums UEFA’s executive committee has ended an alcohol ban in stadiums on Champions League and Europa League match-days, a move which supporter associations queued up to welcome Tuesday.

The governing body of the European game amended its safety and security regulations to permit alcohol distribution

in competitions it runs, albeit “within the limits permitted under national and local law”.

That means alcoholic beverages can be sold in countries where local regulations allow their sale at sporting venues, such as Germany, although notably not England and France.

Ronan Evain, CEO of Football Supporters

Europe, a group bringing together fans from some 40 countries, welcomed the move.

“For a long time football supporters have felt unfairly treated compared with fans of other sports like rugby, to say the least.

“It is not the sport you follow that makes you behave better or worse,” Evain said in a statement.

Former Egypt forward Hossam Hassan believes he could be the man to replace Hector Cuper as Pharaohs boss should the federation opt for a change of coach after their underwhelming World Cup display.

The North Africans returned to the tournament for the first time since 1990 under the Argentinian coach’s guidance, but failed to make an impression, losing all three Group A games including Monday’s late defeat by Saudi Arabia.

The defeat exposed the limitations of Cuper’s conservative approach, with Egypt struggling to ignite during three dour performances.

“The team has lost its spirit, and that didn’t represent our country with an honourable performance at the World Cup,” Hassan said on Sada El Balad on Monday. “Our defence shouldn’t be confused this easily by the opposition.

“I’m one of the most experienced Egyptian coaches in the country,” he added. “I began my career in 2007 with Al Masry, I took the Jordan national team to the AFC Asian Cup for the second time in their history, and we didn’t lose despite some difficult circumstances.

“I have enough training experience to lead [Egypt],” he added. “The only thing is that we must

show a local coach as much support as we show a foreign coach.”

Hassan, who is Egypt’s all-time top scorer and won three African Cup of Nations tournaments with the Pharaohs, has also managed Cairene giants SC Zamalek twice and had stints with Misr El-Makassa, Al-Ittihad Alexandria and Ismaily.

Reports in the Moroccan

press suggest that Atlas Lions coach Herve Renard is also being considered by the Egyptian federation as a potential replacement for Cuper.

Despite his struggles in Russia, 62-year-old Cuper did end Egypt’s 28-year wait to return to the World Cup and took them to the final of the 2017 AFCON, where they were defeated

by Cameroon.

President Putin orders effective use of World Cup venues after tourney Russian President, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday, ordered the government, the regional authorities and the Football Union to ensure effective use of the venues of the World Cup 2018 after the tournament.

“The government of the Russian Federation are to implement the measures aimed at the effective use of the legacy of the FIFA World Cup 2018,’’ the Kremlin’s statement read.

Earlier in June, Putin said during the annual “Direct Line”

Q&A session, that the venues should be used for developing sports, holding competitions among amateur leagues and as training centres for professional athletes.

From June 14 to July 15, Russia is hosting the FIFA World Cup for the first time in history, with the matches set to be held in 11 cities across the country.

Stadia in Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, and Saransk were built specially for the tournament

Radja Nainggolan: I no longer felt important at Roma Radja Nainggolan is ready for a “new adventure” at Inter after revealing he no longer felt important at Roma.

Inter shelled out an initial €38 million (£33.5m/$44m) to sign Nainggolan on a fouryear contract on Tuesday, though with Davide Santon and Nicolo Zaniolo going the other way their net spend stands at €24m.

The 30-year-old will reunite with Luciano Spalletti, who he spent 18

months playing under at Stadio Olimpico, as Inter look to improve on a fourthplace finish in Serie A in 2017-18, while also preparing to take part in the Champions League for the first time since 2011-12.

Nainggolan, who retired from international duty for the second time in less than a year after being overlooked for Belgium’s World Cup squad, claimed he was motivated to move to the Nerazzurri after feeling a loss

of faith in the capital.

“The most important thing for me is sensing people believe in me. I got a call from the sporting director [Piero Ausilio], the coach [Spalletti] and [vice-president Javier] Zanetti too,” he told Inter TV. “They made me feel important, something I perhaps no longer felt at Roma, so it was an easy choice. Of course, I won’t forget the past, but I’m happy to start a new adventure. I’m really up for it.

Dermot Gallagher: VAR needs to be tweaked after World Cup VAR is good for the game according to Dermot Gallagher but the former Premier League referee acknowledges the system requires some fine-tuning.

The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) has somewhat unsurprisingly emerged as one of the 2018 World Cup’s major talking points, with its transformative effect most evident during Monday night’s final Group B fixtures.

Ronaldo won a penalty and was fortunate to escape a red card in Portugal’s 1-1

draw with Iran, while a two-footed Gerard Pique challenge went unpunished before a late Iago Aspas equaliser stood after initially being disallowed in Spain’s 2-2 draw with Morocco.

The VAR can offer the onfield referee guidance but it is the latter who retains the final decision.

“It isn’t a perfect system, we know that,” Gallagher told Sky Sports.

“But it will unfold and get better and better because people watching it will become more competent, the

communication will become better and will get tweaked in different ways.”

In Brazil’s 2-0 win over Costa Rica, Neymar saw a penalty initially given in his favour overturned, while Sweden benefitted from the intervention of VAR when they were awarded a spotkick in their World Cup opener against South Korea.

“I am a fan of it because it is getting more decisions right,” Gallagher added.

“What you have to remember is that it is not going to clear everything up. It is impossible to get 100 per cent accurate decision because so many decisions are subjective.

“What I would say is that there have been some big decisions given, like the Neymar penalty reversed, the Sweden penalty given and the Spain goal last night.

“All three of them would have been mistakes in previous World Cups. All three of them were cleared up and the right decision was [eventually] given.”

Spain’s Marco Asensio not discussing Liverpool links until after World Cup Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio plans to sort out his club future after Spain’s World Cup campaign, amid reported interest from Liverpool.

Asensio started the 201718 season strongly, scoring in both legs of the Supercopa de Espana triumph over Barcelona, but struggled to retain a place in Zinedine Zidane’s star-studded side.

The 22-year-old signed a six-year contract, which reportedly includes a €700 million (£616m/$816m) buyout clause, at the Santiago Bernabeu last September, but has been linked with a closeseason switch to Anfield.

Asensio came off the bench in Spain’s World Cup win over Iran and the 2-2 draw against Morocco on Monday – a result that sent them through to the last 16 as Group B winners – and says the national team is his sole focus for the time being.

Asked about Liverpool’s

interest, Asensio said: “That’s something in the news but I’m very focused in the World Cup. “When it ends, we can talk about that kind of thing. I’m very focused here in Russia, on the national team and performing well here.”

David de Gea has come under intense scrutiny after an error gave Cristiano Ronaldo his second goal in their opening draw, and has gone on to concede five goals from six shots on targets.

However, Asensio is confident the Manchester United goalkeeper will prove why he is widely considered to be one of the best in his position.

“I see him calm. He couldn’t do much more on the goals [against Morocco],” he said. “The national team keeper is a very demanding role, but he is more than prepared.

“He is willing and he is calm and I’m sure we’ll see

the sort of performances he has previously shown for the remainder of this World Cup.” Spain’s campaign was thrown into turmoil when they sacked Julen Lopetegui just two days before their opening match, the coach having agreed to join Madrid less than 24 hours beforehand.

Fernando Hierro was installed as his replacement for the competition, and Asensio thinks the adversity has brought greater cohesion to the squad.

“We went through a weird situation that nobody expected and that could have affected us a bit. But we talked it through, we had to remain united, a World Cup is only every four years and is very important for us,” added Asensio.

“Every game is a new challenge, it is very difficult to beat any team and that is what we are seeing.”
