PDP raises the alarm over alleged plot to impeach Fayose Tunde Opalana, Abuja and Gbenga Sodehinde, Ado-Ekiti

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop its allegedly plot to impeach Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose or attract dire consequences.

The party claimed that the impeachment plot, which is being arranged in connivance with the Police, is a recipe for crisis in the peaceful state.

This was contained in statement made available in Abuja on Thursday by the PDP national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

The PDP , he said, was aware of the plot by the APC to rush into the Ekiti Government House to remove and tamper with documents and evidence confirming the rigging of the July 14 governorship election, ahead of the sitting of the election tribunal.

The party said, “ Having realized that there is no way their daylight robbery at the poll can stand in the court, the APC is now employing all desperate means to subvert the course of justice.

“This explains why a detachment of the Police can be hurriedly deployed to besiege the Ekiti State Assembly Complex last night without a formal request by the Speaker, the Clerk or the Sergeant-atArms, who is the chief security officer of the complex”.

The party stated that any resort to underhand measures to impeach Fayose, without the constitutionally required two-thirds of the members of the House, particularly at a time when the lawmakers are currently on their annual recess, will surely be resisted by its members.

Accusing the APC of plotting crisis all over the nation and resorting to the use of harassment, intimidation and brute force against the people and our democratic institutions, PDP warned that these dispositions of APC and its Federal Government portend grave danger for the nation.

“Now that the political and parliamentary establishment of the Ekiti House of Assembly has loudly declared that they do not require the services of the detachment of policemen, the PDP urges the APC to immediately withdraw their armed agents from the premises of the House of Assembly”, the party said.

The PDP urged the judiciary to be firm in standing by the truth on the Ekiti election and not be cowed or intimidated by the threats and pressure coming from the APC. Ekiti Assembly kicks over impeachment plot, decries deployment Apparently scarred of alleged impeachment plot against

Governor Fayose, the Ekiti State House of Assembly, has raised the alarm over alleged deployment of heavily armed policemen to the premises of the House without official request.

But when journalists visited the Assembly at about 10am, the policemen have been withdrawn and the premises was under lock and key.

The Speaker of the State Assembly, Hon Kola Oluwawole, who briefed newsmen in Ado Ekiti on Thursday , said the anti-riot policemen were deployed at about 9pm on Wednesday.

Oluwawole, who addressed newsmen in company of 17 other members accused members who defected to the APC prior to the July 14 governorship election as responsible for the act.

The Speaker said one of the defected lawmakers allegedly forged a letter purportedly written by the Clerk, Mr. Tola Esan and addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, Mr. Bello Ahmed , calling for deployment when such was unwarranted.

The former PDP lawmakers; Hon Gboyega Aribisogan, Sunday Akinniyi and Ebenezer Alagbada, defected to the APC owing to irreconcilable differences with Governor Fayose.

Oluwawole alerted the public to the antics of the opposition and their alleged resolve to cause confusion in the Assembly, saying there is no legislative duty in the assembly until members resume from recess on October 8, 2018.

The Speaker ordered indefinite closure of the House pending the time security of lawmakers and staff of the hallowed chamber can be guaranteed.

Oluwawole said the Assembly in a letter dated July 26 and addressed to the CP, had lodged complaint of forgery against Hon Aribisogan, and his call for illicit deployment of policemen in the assembly, describing the action as not only shocking but a travesty in the country’s democratic history.

He said the Clerk of the House, Mr. Tola Esan , had on July 26 written similar letter, dissociating himself from the letter purportedly written by him requesting police cover at the Assembly, urging the police authority to conduct unfettered investigations into the issue and bring the culprits to justice.

The Speaker said: “This is strange in democracy, for lawmakers to wake up and see unathorised police deployment in the legislative arm of government. On Wednesday at about 9pm, police authority deployed two detachments of heavily armed policemen to the premises of the Assembly. This came to us as a shock, because we are in recess and such action was unwarranted.

“The Assembly and the Clerk had reacted to a letter purportedly written by the latter

calling for police deployment.

We have told police authority in clear terms that such document should be treated like a forged document, because the Clerk could not have written any official letter without consulting with me, he worked closely with my office as a Speaker.

“Before now, we had it on good authority that police were planning to provide cover for the three defected lawmakers to perpetrate violence in the Assembly and cause confusion as well as endanger the lives of our staff.

“As we speak, the lives of our people are no longer safe, because the police and APC thugs have laid siege to Ekiti Assembly and under this circumstance, our staff are no longer safe and we declare indefinite closure of the Assembly pending the time security can be guaranteed.

“We have not recovered from the harassment and abduction of our members by police during the July 14 election. But let me say expressly that such strange police deployment was unsolicited, unwarranted and ultra vires “, he added.

Lending credence to the Speaker’s position, the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Hon. Samuel Omotoso, said 23 members of the Assembly are behind the Speaker and Governor Fayose.

“As you can see, we have 23 members of the PDP out of 26 solidly behind the Speaker and our governor. We hereby pass votes of confidence in their leaderships. We remain unshaken in our resolve to protect democracy.

“You can see that 18 of us are here, but the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Sina Animasaun and Hon. Dada Celilcia, are in Lagos on official assignments, while Hon Titi Owolabi has just lost her husband, Hon Ojo Ade Fajana is out of the country and Hon Tope Fasanmi traveled with the governor to Abuja, so we are united and strong”.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Caleb Ikechukwu when contacted on the telephone, the Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti State, Mr. Caleb Ikechukwu, said there was nothing wrong with the deployment, saying “anytime you see the deployment of policemen it is to ensure the safety and the security of that place and the people there.”

Ikechukwu said there was no need for people to be curious about the deployment of security men in the quest to ensure the security of lives and properties, except for those who have some form of crime to hide.

He said, “Anytime you see us doing deployment, it’s for a reason; it’s to ensure safety of that place at a given time. That means there must be information which we are working with. And what that shows is how proactive the Nigeria Police Force is.”

APC loses Kwara as Gov Ahmed says he’s leaving ruling party Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin, Henry Omunu, Tom Okpe and Tunde Opalana, Abuja Following calls from various stakeholders in Kwara State, the State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, has hinted that he might be quitting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The governor insisted that the party has not met the expectations of the people of Kwara State.

Governor Ahmed disclosed this on Thursday at State Banquet Hall, Ilorin, while reacting to the requests of various stakeholders in Kwara Central Senatorial District, prevailing on him and the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to immediately dump the APC. The Daily Times had exclusively reported on Thursday that Governor Ahmed and his Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Tambuwal, had concluded plans to defect from the

ruling APC to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

With this development, the APC is about to lose another state (Kwara), as Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom on Thursday, defected from the APC and returned to his former party, the PDP. The governor recalled how key stakeholders in the ruling APC in the state built the party in 2014 alongside other notable Nigerians with high expectations but were disappointed about the failure of the government at national level to address insecurity, economy and unemployment challenges confronting the nation.

The governor said: “We formed APC together in 2014 with the hope to meet the needs and aspirations of the people in critical areas of our national life”.

He said the leadership of the APC had failed to intervene on critical issues affecting the party and its

members, pointing out that injustice within the party is unbearable.

Governor Ahmed, who thanked the people of the state for their support, assured the stakeholders that he would consider their pleas and make public the new platform that would meet the aspirations of the people of the state.

He also promised that the administration would continue to run an all inclusive process that would take care of all interests.

Various stakeholders who spoke at the Town Hall meeting in Ilorin, called on the Governor Ahmed take the state to another political party where their welfare would be guaranteed and expectations would be met.

In his remarks, the State President of Kwara State Artisans Group, Alhaji Saad Alawaye, who commended Governor Ahmed for his numerous empowerment programmes to the informal sector, promised continuous support in moving the state forward.

Reconstruction of Apapa -Oshodi Expressway begins in 2 weeks – Osinbajo As Ambode shuts down illegal terminals in Ajegunle

Benjamin Omoike Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday assured that the anticipated reconstruction of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway would commence within the next two weeks as part of the Federal Government’s resolve to finding lasting solution to the chaos in the Apapa axis.

Osinbajo, who spoke at a dialogue with stakeholders on the Apapa traffic congestion in the company of Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza BalaUsman, among others, held at the Officers Mess of the Western Naval Command in Apapa, said the Federal Government was already looking into the issue of infrastructural renewal, especially with the state of roads in Apapa.

He added that approvals for the reconstruction of Oshodi-Apapa Expressway and other major roads linking the Apapa Tincan Ports and tank farms would be concluded within the next two weeks.

Osinbajo, who also led others to inspect the Apapa axis, said there was no excuse on the part of the Federal Government on the state of affairs in the area, noting that aside the economic implications, it was also an important residential community that must be allowed to thrive.

He said, “We have been working quite hard now to get approval for road construction. Among the roads are the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and Mile 2- Liverpool roundabout are important roads but they have been delayed but I am personally working to ensure that we could get that through and we are trying to look at immediate solutions that can be done and how the process could be expedited to achieve results.

“I can guarantee that we will get all the approvals done. I don’t think that it should take us more than two weeks to get the approval so that we can begin the work. There are so many other bad areas, especially the coconut area in front of

Tincan Port, the Leventis to Wharf Road is also another area we are looking at, the rehabilitation of the Creek Road so that we can have a two lane access into the ports and all of those are important roads and all of them are Federal roads, so we have a responsibility to ensure that these things are done.”

On the situation with Ports across the country and the need to decongest the Apapa Tincan Ports, the Vice President listed insecurity as one of the major issues preventing the Ports in Port Harcourt, Warri, Onne, Calabar and others from operating, however, adding that the Federal Executive Council had recently approved a security arrangement in the Ports to enable them function optimally.

“A few weeks ago, the Federal Executive Council approved a maritime security arrangement for all of those areas and that has already been deployed. So we expect that as soon as the security architecture is laid out, we should be able to use those Ports frequently and that would of course decongest the Apapa Tincan Ports,” Osinbajo added.

Addressing other issues involving the movement of cargo from the Apapa Ports, the Vice President said the Federal Government was in talks with a concessionaire to rehabilitate the narrow gauge rail, which according to him, will aid the quick movement of goods pending the construction of a standard gauge.

He said, “As Mr. President had directed, what I intend to do, is that we should meet as frequently as possible.

We have already drawn up some roadmap and a check list of the various things that we need to do in the next couple of weeks to ensure that we are able to ease the situation around here and make it more decent for people to live in this community and work in this axis. It is important for us as a country and commercially also and we are definitely committed to making sure that it works.”

Speaking shortly after an on-thespot assessment in the Agejunle area, Governor Ambode wielded the big stick

and ordered the immediate shutting down of Climax Bonded Terminal in Ajegunle, saying that their operation was not only illegal but also causing untold hardship to residents in the area.

Governor Ambode, who was saddened by the situation in the area shortly after an on-the-spot assessment, directed that the terminal and other adjoining areas be closed, while the trucks parked around the terminal be evacuated within the next 24 hours.

He said that there was no record from the State Government showing that the operators of the terminal were authorised to convert the property for such purpose, warning that the State Government would not fold its arms and allow flagrant abuse of its building laws to the detriment and safety of residents.

He said the decision to shut down the place was in furtherance to the need to protect residents from imminent dangers which such building portends, saying that the primary responsibility of the Government was to protect lives and property.

“You guys are causing me a lot of havoc. So, as far as the Lagos State Government is concerned, Ajegunle remains a residential area. I have crosschecked from all the ministries and officials, there is no approval from the Physical Planning for you to use this neighbourhood which is residential as a bonded terminal and then I understand that you are extending to Awodiora.

“I don’t want to do too much problem with your owner, but whoever is the owner would have to come to the Ministry of Physical Planning. I have the duty to protect all the citizens of Lagos State, I will not allow anything you have called Bonded Terminal to reside in a residential area and I need to protect my people,” Governor Ambode said.

Speaking further, the Governor said the presence of trucks parked on the single lane road in the Ajegunle axis was subjecting residents to long hours in traffic and other attendant menace to the environment.

Gov Ahmed The State Chairman, Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Mr. Joshua Adekanye, who spoke on behalf of all the 16 local government chairmen, their vice chairmen and 193 councillors, expressed readiness to dump the APC in the interest of the people.

On their parts, the Youth leader, Alhaji Mohammad Ali Baba and the Women Leader, Hajia Rahmat Oganija, thanked the governor for his support to the youth and womenfolk in the state.

They, however, said they were not comfortable to remain in the APC, citing injustices against the Senate President, Dr, Bukola Saraki, and called for immediate defection to a better and safer political party.

The meeting had in attendance Artisans group, market men and women, Okada riders, and youth groups among others.

But the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that Kwara State chapter of the APC is not perturbed by series of defection going on across political parties in the country, urging members to remain calm.

In a press statement made available on Thursday, the minister commended the APC supporters in the state for their unflinching commitment, assuring that the party will emerge stronger than ever in the state.

He said: “Against the backdrop of the recent events at the National Assembly, I want to most sincerely thank all APC members and supporters in Kwara State for their unflinching commitment to ensuring that the party emerges stronger than ever in the state.

“That commitment has been reflected in the overwhelming support and solidarity that we have received, not just from our party members but also from other parties and stakeholders across the state, since the melodrama at the National Assembly on Tuesday. In particular, there has been an expression of overwhelming love and support for President Muhammadu Buhari from across Kwara, in the wake of the defections by federal legislators from Kwara”.

The Minister called on all party members and loyalists to remain calm, saying that, “I call on all our members and supporters in Kwara to remain calm, because there is no cause

for alarm. We are currently consulting with the national leadership of our great party with a view to coming up with a programme of action that will take into consideration the recent developments.

“Our members and supporters should have no doubt whatsoever that whatever decisions we take after the consultations will be in their overall best interest”, he added.

However, the Special Assistant to the President on Legislative Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, was optimistic that the APC senators and members of the House of Representatives that left the party on Tuesday had no rancour with the president personally as they will campaign for Buhari’s re-election next year.

Enang said the defectors or aggrieved members of the APC have expressed grievances within the party but not against the president.

Addressing journalists at the National Assembly complex on Thursday, Enang said: “But in all the grievances expressed, none is attributed or directed at President Muhammadu Buhari, nor his actions or any action or omission of the President or the Federal Government.

“In fact, in my interaction pre and post expression of intent to defect, all the dramatis personae - the distinguished Senators and Honourable members expressed their solidarity and support for Mr. President and expressed categorically that their grievances and consequent actions are not directed against President Buhari nor his re-election bid, but domestic actors in their constituency political fields such as the Governors, State party leaders or frustration over zoning or indeed calculations for a return ticket or platform for 2019 elections.

He said a great number of the defectors have indicated that even if they pursue their bid on a different political platform, they will still campaign for Buhari in 2019 on the APC platform.

Enang insisted that there has never been defection but mere expression of intent while claiming that APC is today one united strong party.

He said, “What has been done by the Distinguished Senators and Honourable members are group notice to switch camp, it is inchoate and leaves windows, doors and

Defection: Dogara, Lasun absent as Reps caucus meets APC leaders Reps disagree with automatic ticket

Tom Okpe, Abuja The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, and his Deputy, Hon Yusuf Suleiman Lasun, were conspicuously absent at the meeting on Thursday between the National Leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and party members of the House of Representatives led by the Majority Leader of the House, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, with the lawmakers objecting to the idea of automatic tickets as a panacea to the gale of defections in the party.

Both Oshiomhole and Gbajabiamila took this position during the meeting at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.

The APC National Chairman said the party under him will not succumb to offering automatic

tickets particularly to legislators as a bait to retain them even when they are not performing to the expectations of their constituents.

He said APC under him would run as an ideological party which believes in more development rather than serving as a mere platform for winning elections as those people who left the party think.

He said: “Somebody asked me are we not countering the PDP by offering automatic tickets?

I said did we offer anybody departure ticket? If we did not, then how does the issue of return ticket arise?

“We just need to ensure every legislator who has value, who is at home with his people, that legislator is of value to the party and the party will do all to retain such; our party must consciously work to produce seasoned senators. We will get there. I want to assure you that it can’t be argued that experience can be

discarded”.

On his part, the Leader and APC Caucus Chairman in the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said: “The word automatic itself kills the party because the party is for everybody; hence automatic ticket is not ideal. If you are talking about internal democracy as that is why people left, if you left and got automatic ticket, what happened to the internal democracy that you are talking about that you cannot find in your party?

“There is a difference between establishment ticket and automatic ticket. You can achieve the same thing in a different ways instead of killing your party and telling everybody go away we have given our ticket to somebody else”.

The House Leader, who earlier announced that APC has a new member in the Green Chamber from Social

Democratic Party, Ekiti State, Olamide Oni, said: “It is a time to consolidate and make sure we stay in touch with our members and keep them close, continue to appreciate them. First timers who have acquired experienced to become ranking members and have represented the party at the grassroots level, should be taken into serious consideration and I think they deserve a term.

If they don’t come back, we are going to lose the first six months to one year training the freshers and how does that help the party and the country?

Speaking on Dogara’s absence, Gbajabiamila told journalists that he is aware but added; “perhaps he has other engagement because it was a meeting fixed in the last few hours and for somebody like the Speaker, you should know he has a lot of engagements. The Deputy Speaker is aware also. I am here standing in for him”, he added.

“It’s bad enough that the roads here are single lanes and then I’ve gone round the whole Ajegunle axis and I’ve seen all the trucks all over the place, so I take over all the places called bonded terminals in Ajegunle from this moment, I shut this place down and all the agencies concerned should take my instructions, I do not no want to ever see this place opened again including all the other places that they have put the terminals and other places they have procured,

I would not authorize any place that is residential as a Bonded Terminal.

“Tell the Commissioner of Police, tell others, every person here must evacuate in the next 30 minutes and in all the other locations that they have put in place, they remain under lock and key until I say otherwise.

Including Customs, including everybody, tell the CP and the Naval people, I don’t ever want to see it open again. All the trucks that I’ve seen across this axis, in the next 24 hours, I don’t want to ever see it here again and

all the other places they have placed them, the Government Monitoring Unit and tell the Director DSS, I don’t want to see anybody here again. Whatever it is that they have put here, I would only open it when they are willing to take all these trucks away from here and that’s my instruction,” Governor Ambode said.

Also in his remarks at the dialogue with stakeholders, Governor Ambode said the meeting was critical as the situation had become a national emergency that required all

levels of government to work together to save the economy of the nation and also restore the glory of Apapa axis.

“I want to reiterate my commitment to say that whatever it is that is assigned to me as part of the resolutions that Lagos State should do, we are committed to doing it and we would also cooperate with the Federal Government and every other stakeholder to make sure that we have a permanent solution to this Apapa crisis,” the Governor added.

APC loses Kwara as Gov Ahmed says he’s leaving...

Continued from page 5 rooms for further consultation for resolution because our party minds and cares for all members in or out of office.

And like the Holy Bible enjoins, if you lose one sheep out of 100, preserve 99 and go and search for the one lost”.

On the relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government, he said the executive will keep treating the legislators with respect due their persons and offices and keep working with them as legislators for the Federal Republic of Nigeria who make laws for the executive to execute irrespective of their individual political decisions, while leaving all options open for conciliation.

“The Executive will be consulting with the Legislature over matters pending consideration such as 2018 Virement proposals, approval of borrowings to fund the 2018 Appropriation, approval of the pending 2018 budget of 64 Government owned Corporations laid by Mr. President along with the 2018 budget, including request for approval of appointments which pendency has affected the fulfillment of the purposes meant.

“We pray the legislature will find the normal ingenious patriotic means and time to attend to these within the period of the vacation in the interest of the nation which the legislature is passionately committed to”.

In a related development, the Parliamentary Support Group, a pro-Buhari House of Representatives members of the APC on Thursday, said it was solidly behind the President’s re-election bid in 2019 in spite of the gale of defection from the party by National Assembly members.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, the group said they were more than ever committed to the ideals of the president to good governance and would continue to support him both in next year’s general election and overall administration of the country.

According to the group, they were unperturbed by the defection of some House members who left the party recently as they would soon retrace their steps and return.

“We will continue to stand, support him and his policies,” they said, adding that the APC is cruising on a higher altitude and as such those who left will find their way back.

Chairman of the group, Hon Sarki Adar and the group’s spokesman, Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin, noted that they had resolved to mobilise all relevant structures to return Buhari ito power in

2019.

He said the House of Representatives was in order and on a solid rock, with their leadership also committed to supporting the President and his ideals.

“We have resolved to build our party and support Buhari in 2019. We will stay committed to ideals of Buhari and APC, and move Nigeria forward,” Adar emphasised, pointing that the president deserves the support of all Nigerians.

He noted that decisions have been reached following discussions with the president that will henceforth provide legislative, executive interface to promote good relationship between the two arms of government.

“The president has agreed to carry us along. We will be meeting on quarterly, monthly basis as the case maybe to rob minds and enhance executive, legislature relationship to engage more on issues to get governance to the people. We need to support him, engage him on realities on ground so as to right the wrongs,” the group’s chairman further said.

Adar argued that the party was democratic and that a level playing field will be provided for everyone during the party’s primaries.

“In APC, we are democratic.

We want a level playing ground for everybody and we have gotten that assurances from the president and our national chairman,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Senator representing Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, on Thursday, declared that he remains a member of the ruling APC. The Senator said this while fielding questions from journalists at the APC National Secretariat after a meeting with the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

He backed the ongoing reconciliation efforts undertaken by the party’s National Executive led by Oshiomhole.

Sani said, “We are confident that the new leadership of the party has the capacity and ability to address injustices.

In the words of Frantz Fanon, ‘We revolt because we cannot breathe’. So we revolted against the party because it is suffocating us. Now we have a new surgeon who is doing everything possible to put it back on track. That is why we give him the benefit of doubt that the problem can be solved”.

Asked about his party membership status, Sani said: “If I am here, I am an APC member. If I am not an APC member, you will not see me at the party’s National Secretariat”.

Offa bank robbery: Saraki has case to answer, not exonerated, Police insist Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Nigeria Police on Thursday refuted online report that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki who is yet to honour this week’s invitation to appear before its investigation panel on Offa bank robbery attack that left 31 persons death has been exonerated.

Rather, the Senate President Saraki has case to answer and further classifications to make before the investigation team. The Police said.

Police spokesman Ag. DCP. Jimoh Moshood who stated this in a statement in Abuja said an online story erroneously drew inference from DPP advice that Saraki has been exonerated while it “did not exonerate the Senate President, it only called for further investigations into the matter.”

According to Police, it attention was drawn to the online publication yesterday which claimed “there was no evidence that linked Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki and Kwara State Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed to the Armed Robbery attack that left 31 persons dead in Offa, Kwara State,

in April.

The police said it is incumbent “ to educate the writer of the story that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of the Federation in the legal advice did not restrain or restrict the Force from investigating further, the indictments against the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki and the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfattah Ahmed by the principal suspects arrested in connection with the Offa bank robbery of 5th April, 2018.”

“The DPP advice did not exonerate the Senate President, it only called for further investigations into the matter”, the force added.

It maintained that it was during the course of further investigations into the case that a letter of invitation dated 23rd July, 2018 was sent to the Senate President to appear on 24th July, 2018 at 8.00am before the Investigation Team at Intelligence Response Team office, Guzape Junction, Abuja.

“Consequently, the Force is hereby reaffirming that the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki has case to answer by virtue of the facts that the statements submitted by the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki

earlier to the Investigation Team was not explicit and detailed enough, and was discovered to require further clarifications and interrogation, and coupled with the fact the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki in his statement, claimed that the full text of the statement of the suspects who indicted him in their confessional statements to the Police was not shown to him.

“It is therefore, imperative for the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki to report to the Police to make further statement after sighting the full text of the statement of the suspects.

The police urged the media and public to note that investigation is still ongoing on the Offa bank robbery and the indictment against the Senate President from the confessions of some the arrested principal suspects, and that, there is no political influence or consideration in the matter.

It added that the media and the Police are veritable partners in crime prevention, protection of lives and property, and absolute compliance with the rule of law.

Man bags 10 years jail term for N41m fraud Andrew Orolua, Abuja Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday sentenced one Okoro Samuel Uchechukwu to 10 years imprisonment for fraud.

The court found that the convict had defrauded one Onoja Usman, Managing Director, Lovonus Trust and Investment Limited, by falsely claiming that he had $130,000.00 (One Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars) to sell to him.

Uchechukwu was arraigned alongside his company, Jayjingo Nigeria Limited on a two-count charge bordering on stealing and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N41, 600, 000. 00.

He had pleaded not guilty to the offences committed sometime in January this year.

Count one reads: “That you, Okoro Samuel Uchechukwu and Jayjingo Nigeria Limited, on or about the 10th day of May, 2016 at Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, dishonestly stole and converted to your own use the sum of N41, 600,

000. 00 (Forty-one Million, Six Hundred Thousand Naira) property of Onoja Usman, Managing Director of Lovonus Trust and Investment Limited and committed an offence contrary to Sections 278 and 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.”

Count Two reads: “That you, Okoro Samuel Uchechukwu and Jayjingo Nigeria Limited, on or about the 10th day of May, 2016 at Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, with intent to defraud, fraudulently obtained the sum of N41, 600, 000. 00 (Forty-one Million, Six Hundred Thousand Naira) property of Onoja Usman, Managing Director of Lovonus Trust and Investment Limited on the representation that you had $130,000.00 (One Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars) to sell to Mr. Onoja Usman, which representations you knew to be false and committed an offence contrary to Sections 1(1) and 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act No. 14 of 2006.

Delivering her judgment, Justice Dada held that the offence of stealing is well known and, therefore, the defendants

were not misled.

The Judge further held that “The defendants and their counsel admitted that the said sum was paid by the prosecution witness.

“The act of stealing has been established against the defendants in line with Section 282 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State and I hereby convict him on count One. “In count two, the action of the defendant amounts to obtaining by false pretence since he had an intention to defraud and he is convicted on the count.

“The witnesses have established the offences against the defendant as they were directly linked to the case and this settles the argument.

“The Lagos State Administration of Criminal Justice Law is clear that, no sinner must go unpunished and no saint punished unjustly. I hereby sentence the convict to 10 years imprisonment.”

Justice Dada also ordered that all the defendant’s assets, both moveable and immoveable wherever they may be traced to in the country, be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong has tasked medical doctors to be more involved in politics aimed at positioning themselves to better formulate policies that will address health challenges.

Lalong stated this yesterday in Jos during the 2018 Annual General meeting of the Nigeria Medical Association Plateau State Chapter with the theme: effective advocacy for better health care delivery in Nigeria.

Lalong who was represented by the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Kuden Kamshak, said the involvement of health practitioners in politics will further boost the efficiency of government in prioritising the health sector.

“Doctors should get involved in politics so as to better address the challenges in the health sector”.

Don’t be fooled by defecting lawmakers, party tells Nigerians Alliance for New Nigeria Party (ANN) has described the recent defection of APC Senators and House of Representatives members as a selfish move that should not be accepted by all Nigerians.

Interim National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mr Emmanuel Dania, in a statement, explained that the reasons given by the defecting legislators and their sponsors irrespective of their political affiliation are mere fallacy.

According to Dania, ‘‘the move is for them to continue to partake in sharing national cake, occupying juicy position and loot the nation’s treasury at the detriment of millions of hungry Nigerians. ‘‘Nigerians must resist every attempt for the selfish lawmakers to elongate their dubious staying at the National Assembly because they are there to enrich themselves and their generation yet unborn,’’ he said.

Public service and development in Nigeria

Boss Mustapha

It gives me great pleasure to be here with you this evening at this very important Induction Programme for Governing Boards of Federal Parastatals under Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).

Your very impressive turnout is an indication of the importance you have attached to this programme and your disposition to be better equipped for the responsibilities ahead of you as Chairmen and members of the Governing Boards of the respective organisations that you represent here today.

2.

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, this programme as you may recall, is in keeping with my address to you at your inauguration on 27th February, 2018, to the effect that a joint retreat for Management, Chairmen and Members of the Governing Boards of Federal Parastatals under the Presidency and other MDAs, would be organized to further deepen your understanding of the new policies, processes and procedures that have been introduced into the art of governance. This induction programme which is the first phase, becomes more significant at this time that the present Administration is fully committed to the entrenchment of good and purposeful governance in our country.

3. As you are all aware, the Public Service that we all know remains the major service provider and development machinery in Nigeria. It is the operating arm of Government with the responsibility for implementing policies, projects and programmes that guarantee the efficient delivery of good governance and democratic dividends to citizens. It is, however, hierarchical in structure deriving its direction from the foremost decision-making body in the Federation, the Federal Executive Council (FEC). It is this assignment of responsibility of specific tasks that evolved the creation of Parastatals and Agencies of Government.

4.

Parastatals are Government establishments created by statutes to deliver specific mandates. The

structure and operating instruments are derived from their respective Acts of establishment. Depending on exigencies, parastatals are placed under the supervision of the Presidency or a Ministry. The affairs of Parastatals are superintended by a Governing Board, headed by a Chairman, to provide policy guidelines and liaise with the supervisory Ministry through the Permanent Secretary for effective monitoring, policy guidance, Budget processing and ensuring that Government policy directives relating to the functions of the Parastatal are carried out effectively. However, the day-to-day administration of the Parastatal is handled by a Chief Executive who doubles as the Accounting Officer.

5.

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I have observed with concern divergent interpretations to the roles Governing Boards of Federal Parastatals are expected to play in the corporate governance of their organizations. Arising from this, a number of worrisome issues have begun to emerge. Some of these include: a.

Disagreements on who is responsible for the day to day running of Parastatals and Agencies; b.

Disregard for extant regulations guiding/restricting the conduct of Board meetings; c. Interference in the function of Office of the Chief Executive Officers; d.

Issuing directives to staff without recourse to the Chief Executive Officer thereby creating disharmony amongst personnel; e.

Initiating unlawful disciplinary measures against the Chief Executive without requisite guidance and approval from supervisory Ministry; and f.

Instigating the Labour Unions and Associations as agents of distraction in the Parastatals.

6. The observed poor and unhealthy relationships existing between Governing Boards and their Chief Executive Officers has become very worrisome to Government and is unacceptable.

Chairmen and Members of Governing

Boards should acquaint themselves with the instruments of establishment of their respective organisations, where the roles and responsibilities of the Board are prescribed. Equally, the following referral authorities and other relevant Government circulars are to guide the conduct of public officers: i. Public Service Rules; ii. Financial Regulations; iii.

Guide to Administrative Procedures in the Public Service; iv. Public Procurement Act 2007; and v. Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007 etc.

7.

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, let me at this juncture highlight the roles and responsibilities of Boards of Parastatals as provided by some of the earlier mentioned referral authorities: • Statutory Boards/Councils shall set operational and administrative policies in accordance with government policy directives and shall supervise the implementation of such policies; • A Board shall not be involved directly in the day-to-day management of a parastatal or an agency; • A Minister exercises control of parastatals at policy level through the Board of the parastatal only; • The Board must only operate on a part-time basis in accordance with extant rules that forbid allocation of official quarters to members on a permanent basis, use of official vehicles by members on a permanent basis and payment of estacode allowances for only overseas’ travels approved by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and their supervising Ministry; and • On the other hand, the core functions of the Chief Executive Officer include: the day-to-day administration of the organization, as well as providing strategic leadership for the management of the organization.

8.

The Board shall, in addition perform the following oversight responsibilities: • ensure that the Federal

Government of Nigeria’s long-term interest is served; • work with the management to determine the organization’s mission and long-term strategy; • promote sustainable and costefficient activities of the organization; • establish and promote the objectives, business and integrity of the organisation; • establish internal control over financial reporting, and assess the organisation’s risks and strategies for risk mitigation; • monitor the performance of management in achieving set objectives of the organization; and • Request appropriate reports from Management.

9. In conclusion, Governing Boards and Chief Executive Officers of Federal Parastatals and others who run them must remain worthy of the trust reposed in them by their respective appointments.

First, there must be a sustained and committed leadership that embodies the core values of good governance. I therefore enjoin you all to be worthy of your calling and strive to entrench good governance in your organizations.

10.

I am assured that you will take this induction programme very seriously and leverage on the gains as I can affirm to the unflinching support of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari in the discharge of your duties.

I have directed that this programme should be fully participatory and as such, any of you could be invited to chair and lead a session without prior notice. It is therefore necessary that you all remain to the end of the event as Government will not hesitate to enforce actions on anyone found to have left this programme midway.

11.

On this note, Chairmen, distinguished Board members, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to formally declare open this Induction Programme for Governing Boards of Federal Parastatals, Agencies and Commissions under the Presidency Open.

Nigeria on the road to Babylon (1)

Rueben Abati

Three years ago, the people were convinced that they had found a messiah who will lead them to the Promised Land, and meet all their expectations.

Today, everyone is speaking in different tongues; “turning and turning in the widening Ben gyre…the falcon cannot hear the falconer… things fall apart; the centre cannot hold/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world/ The blood-doomed tide is loosed, and everywhere/the ceremony of innocence is drowned…surely, some revelation is at hand…” But just may be, there is still, no cause for despair.

The good thing about democracy is that it teaches people lessons – ask them in Malaysia and the United States – and even when the people refuse stubbornly to learn – ask them in Syria, Venezuela, and Libya – the lessons exist nonetheless. But it is a very bad thing not just for democracy but the entire society when the leadership elite ignores apparent lessons and fails the people.

About 23 years ago, we did a series of editorials titled “To save Nigeria.”

As our country continues on a journey towards Babylon, such editorials may again be necessary. The pity is that those who are in charge at the centre

do not seem to understand this. I once wrote that persons who wield power like a whip – a dated military strategy – that is completely out of place today in a democracy, have surrounded and “captured” President Muhammadu Buhari. But as we can see, their strategy of alienation has failed.

This is the biggest challenge facing this government. Each time their strategy fails them; their standard response is to say that the President is not “aware” of whatever transpired.

They have been so adept in selling this line to the boss, that the President himself once declared publicly that he was not aware that his InspectorGeneral of Police ignored, perhaps modified, or changed his instructions and went on a frolic of his own.

Things have not only gotten worse since then, the entire country is in a state of shock, and I won’t be surprised if a funny character shows up before this week runs out to tell us, again, that President Muhammadu Buhari is not aware that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the Chairman of the 8th Assembly has been summoned to appear before the Nigeria Police under the authority of the same InspectorGeneral of Police who has been having a running battle with the National

Assembly and its members – first Senator Isa Misau, then Senator Dino Melaye and now Senator Bukola Saraki.

It doesn’t take much intelligence to figure out the script: what has happened between the Senate and the office of the Inspector General of Police is much less about the personalities involved but a lot more about the intra-governmental and intra-party crisis that continues to pose a threat to the Buhari government.

No other government in recent times has been this divided and suicidal. I won’t be surprised anyway if some vocal, genetic trouble-makers on social media (specially made in Nigeria since 2015) argue otherwise but let the point be made that President Buhari’s problems have all been self-inflicted, and his loss of favour within and outside government and the party have been due largely to the saboteurs within.

And if indeed President Buhari is not suffering from what Nigerians call “home trouble”, let someone explain to me why the EFCC is fighting the Department of State Security and the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, why the woman who sees the President first thing in the morning and last minute at night inside “the other room” is fighting a so-called cabal

and has had cause to chide her husband publicly, why the legislative arm of government has been systematically sabotaging the Executive arm of government and vice versa, why the security agencies have been busy making enemies for President Buhari, and why the judiciary behaves like a frustrated arm of government, and civil servants have had to condemn the government they should serve as obedient servants. I believe that the chickens have now come home to roost with the latest attack on Senate President Bukola Saraki. The drama has reached its climax.

The Inspector-General of Police has summoned Saraki. It is pubic knowledge that this same public officer, Ibrahim Idris, publicly shunned the Senate when he was asked to appear before it.

Now, exploiting the powers of his office as the country’s chief police officer, he has declared that Bukola Saraki has a case to answer at the police station in a typical my-Mercedesis-bigger-than-yours fashion, or for the benefit of those who will remember, if you Tarka-me-I-willDaboh-you. Senate President Bukola Saraki has been called a thief by this administration.

Editorial Commentary Boarding, a Nigerian flight of fancy

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene The Minister of State for Aviation, HadiSirika, thinks he has found the medicine for public opinion: listen with blocked ears.

It worked for him last year when the Abuja airport was shut down for six weeks for runway repairs. The announcement of the closure sparked public outrage and many critics, including me, hammered him for ruling out other alternatives, especially with the potential risk that the completion date may have been understated.

Sirika stuck to his guns and, to his credit, pulled off the repairs ahead of schedule.

That success appears to have emboldened him to think that defiance is the only way to listen to public opinion. Once the government has made up its mind that it would launch a national carrier, it will, regardless of public opinion or evidence to the contrary.

If resurfacing the runway was small potato, though an important one, relaunching a national carrier is not a project to be undertaken on a whim, however patriotic the intention may be. Sirika needs to unplug his muffler and engage the public.

When people say they doubt the viability of a national carrier, it’s not necessarily because they’re looking for another rope to hang Buhari’s government.

The government is doing just fine tying itself up in knots without any help. In an industry already littered with documented examples of government failure, even failure of competent ones, the steps taken so far by this government hardly inspire confidence of a different outcome with Nigeria Air. Somewhere in the 2015 transition notes which the Ahmed Joda committee handed over to Buhari, the committee hinted at the need to revisit a national carrier. That suggestion was uncalled for, but that’s not even the point now. In response, Buhari indicated that he welcomed the idea of relaunching the national carrier “as a matter of national pride and to create jobs.”

None of these reasons are strong enough.

If airlines were run on national pride, I have no doubt that the goodwill of over 100 million or so Nigerians would have sustained Nigeria Airways and multiplied its fleet of 32 aircraft as at 1979, which came to zero 20 years later.

As for job creation, that’s another matter.

Of course, for a country with 18.8 percent unemployment rate, every single job matters.

But American Airlines, the largest airline by fleet, had only 126,000 staff as at 2017. So, how many jobs would Buhari’s government create with an airline that is starting with five aircraft, a livery produced in Bahrain for N163 million and a sketchy business plan?

Keep in mind that while we split hairs over the $8 million seed capital already provided by the government for the take-off of the airline, $4.9 million was reportedly paid in May last year to a consortium of six firms, including Lufthansa, for “advisory services”, which amounted to nothing when the parties fell out.

At Farnborough last week, Sirika offered more reasons beyond national pride and jobs.

He said Nigeria had been grossly underserved by the BASA agreement it has with over 70 countries and there was the need to optimise the opportunity.

The BASA argument is concerning but hardly convincing. There are no airports in Andorra and

the Vatican, while Switzerland and Belgium are major travel hubs with no flag carriers. Nothing says BASA slots must be taken by a national airline.

One of the bitter complaints of Arik Air under the previous management was that the airline’s requests for slots in Abuja and elsewhere (under BASA), were consistently and maliciously rebuffed by government officials who demanded bribes, while foreign airlines received preferential treatment.

Medview Airlines, which flew the national flag to London-Gatwick for a while and even advertised an ambitious international flight plan, also had similar tales of woe.

Yet, privately owned local airlines, specifically Arik Air, helped Nigeria regain its Category 1 status without which no Nigerian flag carrier could land in the US or Europe for nearly 20 years, and any talk of BASA was useless.

If the operating environment had been more auspicious for local airlines – or even foreign airlines that wanted to partner with local ones – we’ll probably not be at the receiving end of a lopsided BASA. Obsession with BASA is not a business case. Also, it hardly addresses the fundamental infrastructural deficit or the opacity in public funds spent in the aviation sector in the last couple of years.

In January, Sirika said the government was looking for between $400 million and $500 million only to fix design defects in the ongoing new Abuja international airport terminal buildings.

How can? Exactly five years ago this month, Nigeria and China signed a loan agreement of $500 million for “the construction of four new international airport terminals in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kano”, by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC).

Perhaps some of that Chinese loan was spent in Abuja, Lagos or Kano? But the Port Harcourt airport remains a crime scene. Any discussion to invest public funds in air infrastructure must begin with an explanation of what happened to the $500 million Chinese loan or the $1 billion that the Justice Nwazota judicial commission of inquiry recommended for recovery from the ruins of Nigeria Airways.

All failed national airlines or carriers have similar pathetic stories. Common among them are poor customer service, squalid fleet and personnel management and political interference.

In the graveyard of fallen national carriers, Nigeria Airways and Greece’s Olympic Airlines share a strikingly similar epitaph: murdered by political interference.

Apart from free and heavily discounted tickets which government officials, their families and friends used to enjoy at Nigeria Airways, personal assistants of very important political figures would sometimes seat in the aircraft with instructions to the pilot not to fly until the big man or woman arrives.

By the time the nonsense was over in 2003, the airline had collapsed with a hole of $1 billion in the books and other staff liabilities amounting to about N45 billion.

Our POSITION

National Assembly and financial autonomy

T

he principle of separation of powers in Nigeria has to an extent been effective at the federal level as the National Assembly has in various circumstances, served as a check on the executive in accordance with its constitutional responsibilities.

But the reverse has been the case in the states where the legislature has always pandered to the whims of the governor. That the State House of Assembly has been the puppet or stooge of the governor was clearly expressed in the rejection of the financial autonomy earlier offered them as contained in constitutional amendments carried out by the sixth National Assembly.

With President Muhammadu Buhari’s assent recently, to the Fourth Alteration Bill to the 1999 Constitution which gave total financial autonomy to Houses of Assembly and the Judiciary in 36 states of the federation, these organs of government now have the platforms to perform optimally.

Specifically, with this amendment, the state Houses of Assembly will no longer depend on the state governments for their financing as they can now draw their funds straight from the first line charge. This implies that like the National Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance will henceforth transfer their budgetary allocations to their independent accounts.

We welcome this development and hope that these two arms of government in the states will make the best use of the opportunity. Indeed, it is victory at last for the state legislature, an organ of government which has been oppressed and suppressed for several years by the executive. The operations of the Houses of Assembly in various states of the federation since 1999 are best exemplified in how not to be legislatures as theirs had been a sheer opposite of the application of the principle of separation of powers.

What that implied was that the state legislatures did not exist to serve the public interest in accordance with their constitutional responsibilities but rather to serve as an appendage of governors.

Besides, with very little excuse and sometimes for pecuniary reasons, legislators had no qualms about impeaching their speakers. Yet behind most of the impeachments is the overbearing disposition of the executive in these states where the governors lord themselves over the legislative arm of government which they seek to emasculate. Thus, any speaker who tries to be inquisitive on the activities of the executive is quickly impeached under the supervision of the governor and replaced with a favourite one who will be ready to take orders.

It is therefore little wonder that it is never

heard that a legislature has exposed corrupt acts by the executive in any state as provided in the constitution neither is it ever heard that a state budget has been subjected to any thorough scrutiny. Rather, executive bills and nominees in all the 36 states usually pass through the legislatures and returned as proposed. Various studies carried out by the National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) on the activities of the state legislatures recently showed that the lawmakers were mere rubber stamps of the governors.

To the extent that the legislature financial autonomy is meant to guarantee their freedom from the overbearing influence of governors, we welcome this cheery development. We hope the Houses of Assembly will summon courage to discharge their constitutional responsibilities in the interests of the people who elected them.

It is also the same trend with the judicial arm of government in the states. State governments hardly lose any case they institute or that is instituted against them in the various high courts of their states and it is believed that a major cause of this is lack of financial autonomy.

We are of the opinion that with the President’s assent to this bill, judges like legislators will henceforth have no reason to draw their funds from the state governments and hence, begin to uphold the dictates of their conscience by dispensing justice without fear or favour.

PDP rejects power sharing arrangement by national leadership Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state have rejected a power sharing arrangement formulated by the party’s national leadership to accommodate defecting members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), from the state.

State chairman of the PDP, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo said it is impossible for his team and members of the party to work with the incoming defectors who are mainly from the political structure loyal to Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

Two senators, Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara North) and Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara South) as well as the six members of the House of Representatives from the state were among federal legislators who defected on Tuesday from the APC. Saraki and Governor AbdulFattah Ahmed are expected to announce their own defection soon.

But Oyedepo, who spoke on the development on a radio programme in Ilorin, the state capital, said the national leadership of the PDP has set up a committee to interface between his group

and the defectors. The first meeting is slated for next week, he said on the programme which was monitored by our reporter.

The PDP chairman, who said he had just returned from a meeting with PDP leaders in Abuja blamed the party’s national leadership for being allegedly insensitive to the political configuration in Kwara state and allowing themselves to be swayed by funding capacity of the defectors. To him, the option now before the leaders is to choose his group and the Sarakites.

His words: “We have not been opportune to sit down with the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the state governor, Alhaji AbdulFattah Ahmed even though I’m hearing several rumours that I have met with them and that they have offered me juicy positions. Those are all lies; the Senate President despite his humongous wealth, does not yet have what it takes to buy me.

He cannot ever buy me because he cannot buy my integrity. If my bank account is not fat, my integrity account is very fat.

“So they have not met with us but our national body said they have set up a committee to meet with the two sides next week and when that meeting comes up we are going to tell the national that we

cannot accept the formula they have put down which is 60:40, 60 percent for a state defecting with the governor and 40 percent for the existing PDP members. And if they said what of 50:50, or 40:60 or 30:70 or even 10:90, we shall not accept; we cannot accept any offer. Anything less than our not working together we cannot accept.

“So we will tell our national body to choose between us and them and I know that they will not choose us because we don’t have money but we are not worried.

We will only know that an end has come to our journey and our relationship (in the PDP).

On the alternatives left for his group in the unfolding event, Oyedepo said they could remain in the PDP if the incoming group backtracks on meeting stiff opposition from within next week, or they could join the APC where they have some friend currently. The third option is to join a new party entirely, he said.

“We have directed our local government chapters to go and meet and let the people know what is happening and by Wednesday next week we shall meet to hold a mini referendum to decide what to do”, he said.

Buhari felicitates with Elder Nelson Nmerengwa at 60 President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Isi Ala 1 of Isieketa Ancient Kingdom, His Majesty Eze Nelson Nmerengwa, who turns 60 years on July 27.

The President’s congratulatory message is in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina in Abuja on Thursday.

Adesina stated that “Buhari joined the government and people of Abia, the Abia Traditional Council, family members and friends of the royal father in commemorating the milestone.

He noted that the traditional ruler’s birthday also coincided with his 19th year on the throne.

The President affirmed that the Isi Ala 1 of Isieketa, as custodian of the peoples’ culture, had upheld and promoted the values of communal living with wisdom and dignity, while always mobilising his domain for community development and civic duties.

2019: Presidential aspirant urges Nigerians to elect credible, responsible people A Presidential aspirant and publisher of online Newspaper, Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has called on electorate irrespective of their political and religious inclination to elect only credible and responsible candidates in 2019.

He made the call while fielding questions from newsmen in Kano on Thursday.

He said the call was necessary in view of the fact that the country was in dire need of responsible and responsive leaders who are committed to Nigeria Project.

Sowore said there was need for Nigerians to totally forget about their differences and elect only responsible people who will save the country from those he described as ‘wicked politicians’.

Sowore, who was in Kano in continuation of his sensitisation and education campaign across the country, decried the country’s zoning system.

Members ‘revolt’ when they cannot breathe, Sen Sani tells APC leadership The All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator, Shehu Sani says some of the APC Senators are revolting because they are being unjustly and politically suffocated by the party.

Sani, who is representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, made his feelings known while reacting to questions from State House correspondents at the end of a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and APC Senate caucus at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday night.

He explained that he attended the meeting with the president not because he did not have problems with the party but because he shared the belief that the current leadership of the party was capable of doing them.

According to him, with genuine grievances revolt in the APC is justifiable because the party is a reflection of revolt.

“I’m here as a member of the APC caucus in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and my presence here does not mean that my issues have been solved one

hundred per cent.

“But I’m of the belief that we have a leader in the party who is doing everything possible to see that the problems that we have that led to a situation of revolt, in the words of Frantz Fanon `we revolt when we cannot breathe’.

“So revolt at times is much necessary, in fact the APC is a reflection of revolt.

It revolted against a system of inequity, injustice and today it is in power.

“So, I’m here because I believe in leadership of the party, I believe also in the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Now, I’m also of the belief that there is no issue that we cannot solve as human beings, as men of conscience and conviction,’’ he said.

Sani, who is believed to be having longstanding political misunderstandings with his state governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufa’I, described the outcome of their meeting with President Buhari as encouraging.

He, however, noted that the challenges

facing the APC now were supposed to have been resolved over two years ago, saying that the APC new leadership only inherited `a civil and cold wars’ in the party He said: `So, I believe that the discussion we had here is reassuring and in every possible way is comforting that a process has started to heal the wounds and also address issues that led us to where we are today.

“We must recognize the very fact that the problems the new leadership of the party are trying to solve today was something that could have been solved a year or two years ago.

“I always tell the chairman of the party that he inherited but a `civil war and a cold war’ in the party and he is doing everything possible to solve them. So I’m of the belief that a forum like this is a big step forward.

“I’m here because I believe in the leadership and I believe in the process.

“I don’t pretend to say the problems that led to my decision to think twice the party have all been solved. But I believe this leadership can solve the problems.’’

The Vice Chancellor of the Akwa Ibom University, Prof. Eno Ibanga, has said that over 90 per cent of programmes of the institution have received full accreditation from the National University Commission.

He also revealed one of the criteria for admission of students: it does not admit students with tattoos.

He said the management imposes the no-tattoo policy because it abhors cultism. According to him, it prevents cultism by thoroughly screening students to the extent and not admitting students with tattoos.

According to him, courses on religious studies, mass communication, history and international relations have received interim accreditation from the NUC.

NADDC seeks legal framework to consolidate on NAIDP success Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

To gain investors’ confidence, the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) has advised that the policy establishing the Nigerian Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP) be passed into law.

Director General of NADDC, Jelani Aliyu who gave the advice yesterday at the 2018 Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) Annual Training Workshop in Lagos said that although, additional effort was made to legislate the policy and it passed both houses successfully in the last and current regimes, more still needs to be done.

Speaking on the topic “Achieving 2013-2020 Nigerian Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP)

Under The Current Regime: How Feasible?”, Aliyu said that the Economic Community for West African States (ECOWAS) has admitted automotive industry for consideration as one of its priority development sectors.

Emphasising on the importance of legal support, Aliyu who was represented by NADDC Director of Special Duties, David Oyetunji said Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) came from South Africa to meet with the National Assembly and Vice President and implored Mr. President to put ascent on the bill as it was considered a key factor for them to establish their plants in Nigeria.

Apart from the legal aspect, other challenges the NAIDP is facing include difficult process of certification of bona fide motor vehicle assemblers/manufacture; the programs to precede the imposition of 35% levy on USED vehicle which can potentially undermine investment have not

been realized because of investors fear of policy reversal and delays in the integration with Nigeria Customs Service to obtain VIN records and the outstanding full Buy-in of the Nigeria Customs Service due to misunderstanding of policy intent and perceived conflict with revenue collection.

For NAIDP to make further progress, Aliyu said “Nigeria Customs Service should collaborate with NADDC fully. Misunderstanding of policy intent and perceived conflict with revenue collection.

Nigeria Customs Service should collaborate with NADDC fully.

The policy has not been signed into law by Mr. President whose approval is most deserved and the problem of smuggling of used vehicles from neighbouring countries has not been fully curtailed”.

According to the DG, the NAIDP has inbuilt support programs to realize set targets in output, standards and skills, some of which include collaboration

of NADDC with the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) in establishment of world class automotive test laboratories for emission, components and materials.

In addition, Aliyu said that on the directive of NADDC, the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), has planned to start implementing SONCAP on imported vehicles by requiring that all used vehicles imported into Nigeria have a road worthiness certificate from their country of origin.

To develop the automotive market further, Aliyu stated that all assemblers have been directed to include a low-cost vehicle in the models they roll out to enhance ease of ownership by Nigerians, adding that so far, Nissan, Hyundai, KIA, Volkswagen and others have all assembled brand new lower cost vehicles.

Speaking further, the NADDC boss said that “NAIDP provides for a credit purchase scheme to ensure that funds are available

cheaply, as loans to civil servants, haulage and passenger commercial companies and the public that patronize made in Nigeria Vehicles. Council has accordingly applied to the CBN for the proposed entity operating licensee and concessions to attract additional funding from Development Finance Institutions”.

“The 35 per cent levy on used vehicles under NAIDP have been suspended until the successful launch of the low-cost Vehicle Credit Purchase Scheme and the establishment of safeguard against anticipated smuggling and diversion of goods to neighboring ports. Nigerians buy used vehicles largely because they are cheap but most no longer have engineering integrity and pose safety and environmental hazard. Money used by Nigerians to buy used vehicles can be made as down payments for new cars assembled locally. The rest will be staggered over a comfortable period”.

FRC adopts new code of governance for private, public organisations Yakubu Salisu, Kano

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of Nigeria, has organize a public hearing on Nigerian code of Corporate Governance that would guide both public and private sectors on good cooperate governance which would ease and encourage investors and enhance the integrity of the Nigerian capital market, by entrenching a culture of disclosure, transparency and accountability.

Speaking during the public hearing / Sensitization on Nigerian Code of Cooperate Governance, Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, (FRC) Mr Danial Asapokhai said that the Nigerian Cooperate Governance has adopted the “ Apply and Explain” principle which requires companies to apply the requirements of the code and explain how they did so.

This, he explained was adopted after a careful considerations of several factors such as the legal system, culture, history, government policies, economic and political climate of the country.

Asopokhai said, “It is our belief that this code will promote ease of doing business,

attract local and foreign investments and enhance the integrity of the Nigerian Capital Market by entrenching a culture of disclosure, transparency and accountability. In addition, this code will raise public awareness of good cooperate governance practices” he said.

According to him, “ the Nigerian code of cooperate Governance 2018 was developed based on a comprehensive review of the suspended 2016 code of cooperate Governance by a fifteen-man technical committee and extensive consultative and collaborative engagement with a wide range of stakeholders and the regulators” “The 2018 Code shall apply to all public companies whether listed or not, all private companies that are holding companies of public companies and other regulated entities, concession and privatized companies, and regulated private companies” The Executive Secretary said that the public hearing would take place in all the geo-political zones of the country including FCT where it is expected to be successful and impactful for private and public organizations. “ As this is the first time FRC is coming out with an accepted cooperate balanced Code”

Music publishers appeal to NCC to lift ban on COSON Motolani Oseni Music Publishers Association of Nigeria, (MPAN) has ‘respectfully’ appealed to the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) to tamper justice with mercy and lift the suspension of Copyright Society of Nigeria, COSON’s license without further delay as MPAN, investors and thousands of helpless copyright owners across Nigeria and beyond continue to suffer as a result.

In a statement made available to journalists and signed jointly by its chairman board of trustees, Olumide Mustapha, and secretary, Isioma Idigbe, the association said ‘Nigeria is rapidly approaching a critical turning point in the development of copyright (administration), and with increasing consumption of creative works by an increasing global audience, huge opportunities for value generation abound both for creators and the country’s GDP alike.

It is important, it continued, ‘that the huge strides made by what is undoubtedly the leading Collective Management Organisation, (CMO) in Nigeria are not undone due to issues that could be resolved in a much less damaging manner’.

The group insisted that the COSON success which is now gravely threatened was built on account of huge sacrifices made by many people, over several years, including many diligent and committed officers of the NCC. MPAN therefore called on the NCC to immediate withdraw the suspension in the interest of all stakeholders in the Nigerian music industry.

“We have earlier sent a letter to the NCC dated 20th June 2018, wherein we made this request and also proffered other options which the NCC could exercise to achieve its aim of ensuring that rights owners and creators are well represented by their designated CMOs”, MPAN said.

The Music Publishers Association of Nigeria (MPAN) is an association of owners of interests in copyright catalogues comprised of tens of thousands of musical works, from the 1960s to 2018, locally and internationally.

Google launches free Wi-Fi hotspot network in Lagos As part of its efforts to increase its presence in Africa’s most populous nation, Google on Thursday, launched a network of free Wi-Fi hotspots in Lagos State.

The U.S. technology firm, owned by Alphabet Inc, has partnered with Nigerian fiber cable network provider 21st Century to provide its public Wi-Fi service, Google Station,

in six places in the commercial capital Lagos, including the city’s airport. Internet penetration is relatively low in Nigeria. Some 25.7 percent of the population made use of the internet in 2016, according to World Bank data.

The poor internet infrastructure is a major challenge for businesses operating in the country, which

is Africa’s largest oil producer.

Broadband services are either unreliable or unaffordable to many of Nigeria’s 190 million inhabitants.

“We are rolling out the service in Lagos today but the plan is to quickly expand to other locations,” Anjali Joshi, Google’s vice president for product management, told reporters in Lagos.

The technology firm said it planned to share revenues with its partners to help them maintain and deploy the Wi-Fi service but did not disclose the expected advertising revenue split.

Nigeria is the fifth country to launch Google Station. Similar services have been launched in India, Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand.

Teleology may takeover 9mobile next week Ladesope Ladelokun

Indications are rife that 9mobile may be taken over by Teleology Holdings Limited anytime next week.

The new development indicated that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is in the final stages of reviewing the deal before signing off Teleology’s takeover.

A source close to Teleology had disclosed to The Daily Times earlier in July that the preferred bidder for the acquisition of 9mobile, has beaten deadline for ownership of the firm with the payment of $251million into Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) escrow account, pending receipt of ‘‘no objection from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).’’

Also, that the buyer had earlier communicated its commitment to the payment of the final bid price to the apex bank days ahead of the expiration of the 90-day payment timeline, which elapsed on Saturday, June 30.

He said, ‘‘I can confirm to you that the money ($251m) has been paid into CBN escrow account pending the regulatory body’s response to the payment.

“What Teleology has raised offshore exceeds the initial acquisition cost. It is inclusive of the amount needed for an audacious network expansion project for 9mobile. “I can confirm this will change the telecoms landscape significantly. The money coming will include the cost of over 5,000 additional base stations and a bullish acquisition of other fringe players in the telecoms sector to add to the 9mobile brand household. ‘‘This feat by Teleology is a highly commendable feat that will add a great deal of value to the Nigerian telecoms industry.

Besides, it requested a 20 working days’ extension from the CBN “to

enable it perfect the process for the final payout in consonance with the provision of the acquisition agreement.”

In this vein, the NCC granted the request by Teleology for the extension but with a proviso that it must pay additional non-refundable $50million to further strengthen its stake in the acquisition bid for 9mobile.

The Daily Times recalls that Teleology had on March 21 paid the initial $50 million non-refundable deposit as a demonstration of its commitment to acquire 9mobile and was given a 90-day timeline to pay the balance having emerged the preferred bidder following the evaluation of the technical and financial bids for the telecom company.

One of the sources involved in the deal, however, told Reuters that $301 million in financing for the deal is in escrow with Afrexim bank.

“The NCC is doing its own regulatory due diligence before making a formal announcement on transfer of licence” the source added.

The source said the documentation with the NCC was not complete and the banks were preparing final papers. “(It) should close in another week,” the source added.

The NCC has to approve a transfer of 9mobile’s telecoms license to Teleology.

The process for the acquisition of 9mobile commenced in October 2017, and Smile Communications emerged as the reserved bidder.

9mobile is currently being supervised by Barclays Africa, the

transaction adviser appointed by CBN, NCC and a consortium of 13 banks with a view to getting new investors inject fresh capital into the telecom firm.

The bid for the sale of 9mobile equities followed disagreement between Emerging Markets Telecommunication Services Limited (EMTS), formerly trading as Etisalat Nigeria, and the banks to restructure the repayment of a seven-year midterm facility secured by the telecom firm to service an existing loan and expand its network in 2013.

Teleology Holdings Limited is a private equity firm run by a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MTN Nigeria, Mr Adrian Wood.

The company is a special purpose vehicle set up by Wood and some influential Nigerian investors to

L-R Executive Director, Lagos Building Investment Company Plc, Prince Biodun Dosunmu; Managing Director/CEO, Ms Folasade Folivi; Chairman, Mr. Adeshina Soyebo and Company Secretary, Mrs. Ikeade Aribaba at the 13th Annual General meeting of the company in Lagos...on Thursday.

Reps order NERC to reinstate IBEDC board Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives Committee on Power Wednesday, issued a 48 - hour ultimatum to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to reinstate the suspended board of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).

Chairman of the House Committee on Power, Rep. Daniel Asuquo, who issued the ultimatum during the investigative public hearing on the circumstances surrounding the

suspension of the power distribution company, harped on the need for the regulatory agency to desist acts that would send wrong signals to investors in the power sector.

The lawmaker who cautioned against the utilization of public funds to prosecute cases, underscored the need for all parties involved to put public interest above individual gains.

The Ibadan electricity distribution board was suspended by NERC, sequel to the delay in the payment of $185.6 million facility given to Integrated Energy Distribution and Marketing Company (IEDC), obtained from a consortium of six banks

that financed the acquisition of the power distribution firm and the Yola Electricity Distribution Company respectively.

According to documents made available to the House, the facility was given to IEDC, parent company and holder of 60 per cent equity of Ibadan DISCO between May 2015 and May 2016.

In its intervention, the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), holder of 40 per cent of IBEDC equity on behalf of the Federal Government wrote a letter to NERC requesting the commission to give the bureau two weeks to resolve the matter amicably.

Projects implementation: BudgIT extends tracka to 23 states, Abuja Motolani Osen In a bid to monitor public projects and ensure they are implemented through citizen collaboration and government engagement, BudgIT, a civic organisation has extended tracka to 23 states and FCT with inclusion of Abuja Nasarawa States.

Tracka is a transparency platform, which allows citizens to collaborate, track and give feedback on public projects in their communities.

Although, it already has a presence in 22 States but scaling its reach to Nasarawa State and Abuja - the FCT to monitor public projects and ensure they are implemented through citizen collaboration and government engagement.

In a document signed by Communications Lead, BudgIT, Abiola Afolabi, which was obtained

by The Daily Times, stated that the tracking exercise will engage 24 communities in FCT Abuja and Nasarawa States, while examining where capital projects are awarded and would have community project tracking teams within the locality.

Acknowledging the low and poor implementation of capital projects over the years, it explained that Tracka ensures the budget works for the people by equipping them with adequate budgetary information to help demand service delivery.

According to the statement, our goal is to empower communities through simplified access to budgetary information to enable them ownership of the enlisted projects till it is fully executed.

“Tracka will collaborate with other stakeholders-Civil Society Groups, Religious and Traditional Leaders across the focus communities.

“We will be engaging government officials and agencies via written letters to follow up on these projects and also engage digital citizens using social media as a feedback loop, and the reviews will be aggregated to build actionable intelligence”, it explained.

While commenting on this development, Programs Officer, BudgIT and Coordinator of the Abuja budget tracking program, Omokhaye Henry, said, “ As citizens of Nigeria, it is important that we ensure transparency and accountability regarding the use of funds.”

BudgIT’s Lead Partner, Oluseun Onigbinde also stated: “The program should challenge government officials to ensure that funds are expended effectively and not as a tool for corruption.” It is increasingly vital for Civil Society Organizations to engage government on the use of public funds to repress the ignorance of the people in public funds management, which is the tool, used by public office holders to deny the citizen of service delivery.

BudgIT is a civic organisation that applies technology to intersect citizen engagement with institutional improvement, to facilitate societal change. A pioneer in the field of social advocacy melded with technology, BudgIT uses an array of tech tools to simplify the budget and matters of public spending for citizens, with the primary aim of raising the standard of transparency and accountability in government.

PDP rejects power sharing arrangement by national leadership Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state have rejected a power sharing arrangement formulated by the party’s national leadership to accommodate defecting members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), from the state.

State chairman of the PDP, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo said it is impossible for his team and members of the party to work with the incoming defectors who are mainly from the political structure loyal to Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

Two senators, Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara North) and Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara South) as well as the six members of the House of Representatives from the state were among federal legislators who defected on Tuesday from the APC. Saraki and Governor AbdulFattah Ahmed are expected to announce their own defection soon.

But Oyedepo, who spoke on the development on a radio programme in Ilorin, the state capital, said the national leadership of the PDP has set up a committee to interface between

his group and the defectors. The first meeting is slated for next week, he said on the programme which was monitored by our reporter.

The PDP chairman, who said he had just returned from a meeting with PDP leaders in Abuja blamed the party’s national leadership for being allegedly insensitive to the political configuration in Kwara state and allowing themselves to be swayed by funding capacity of the defectors. To him, the option now before the leaders is to choose his group and the Sarakites.

His words: “We have not been opportune to sit down with the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the state governor, Alhaji AbdulFattah Ahmed even though I’m hearing several rumours that I have met with them and that they have offered me juicy positions.

Those are all lies; the Senate President despite his humongous wealth, does not yet have what it takes to buy me. He cannot ever buy me because he cannot buy my integrity. If my bank account is not fat, my integrity account is very fat.

“So they have not met with us but our national body said they have set up a committee to meet with the two sides next week and when that meeting comes up we are going to tell the national that

MAVERICKS FOR GREATER TODAY (M.F.G.T)

we cannot accept the formula they have put down which is 60:40, 60 percent for a state defecting with the governor and 40 percent for the existing PDP members. And if they said what of 50:50, or 40:60 or 30:70 or even 10:90, we shall not accept; we cannot accept any offer.

Anything less than our not working together we cannot accept.

“So we will tell our national body to choose between us and them and I know that they will not choose us because we don’t have money but we are not worried. We will only know that an end has come to our journey and our relationship (in the PDP).

On the alternatives left for his group in the unfolding event, Oyedepo said they could remain in the PDP if the incoming group backtracks on meeting stiff opposition from within next week, or they could join the APC where they have some friend currently. The third option is to join a new party entirely, he said.

“We have directed our local government chapters to go and meet and let the people know what is happening and by Wednesday next week we shall meet to hold a mini referendum to decide what to do”, he said.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator, Shehu Sani says some of the APC Senators are revolting because they are being unjustly and politically suffocated by the party.

Sani, who is representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, made his feelings known while reacting to questions from State House correspondents at the end of a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and APC Senate caucus at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday night.

He explained that he attended the meeting with the president not because he did not have problems with the party but because he shared the belief that the current leadership of the party was capable of doing them.

According to him, with genuine grievances revolt in the APC is justifiable because the party is a reflection of revolt.

“I’m here as a member of the APC caucus in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and my presence here does not

mean that my issues have been solved one hundred per cent.

“But I’m of the belief that we have a leader in the party who is doing everything possible to see that the problems that we have that led to a situation of revolt, in the words of Frantz Fanon `we revolt when we cannot breathe’.

“So revolt at times is much necessary, in fact the APC is a reflection of revolt. It revolted against a system of inequity, injustice and today it is in power.

“So, I’m here because I believe in leadership of the party, I believe also in the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Now, I’m also of the belief that there is no issue that we cannot solve as human beings, as men of conscience and conviction,’’ he said.

Sani, who is believed to be having long-standing political misunderstandings with his state governor, Malam Nasir elRufa’I, described the outcome of their meeting with President Buhari as encouraging.

Sir Alex Ferguson thanks hospitals after surgery

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he would “not be sitting here today” without the “great care” of hospital staff after his surgery for a brain haemorrhage in May. Ferguson, 76, has spoken publicly for the first time since going home from hospital in a video on social media.

The Scot also thanked well wishers “for the support you have given me”.

“It has made me feel so humble, as have all the messages I have received from all over the world,” he added.

Ferguson had emergency surgery on 5 May and was in intensive care for several days at Salford Royal Hospital.

His last public appearance was on 29 April at Old Trafford when he presented former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with a commemorative trophy.

In a 48-second video posted on Manchester United’s Twitter account, Ferguson said: “I want to thank the medical staff at Macclesfield, Salford Royal and Alexandra hospitals.

“Believe me, without those people who gave me such great care I would not be sitting here today. Thank you

g23

from me and my family.

“The good wishes do resonate very strongly with me. Thank you for the support you have given me.

“I will be back later in the season to watch the team and, in the meantime, all the best to Jose Mourinho and the players.”

Ferguson retired as United manager in May 2013 after winning 38 trophies during 26 years in charge.

The most successful manager in the history of the British game, his trophy haul at Old Trafford included 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups.

Nigeria pick final squad for U20 Women’s World Cup

Coach Christopher Danjuma has picked his final 21-woman list for the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup billed for August 5-24 in France.

The squad is composed of three goalkeepers, six defenders, seven midfielders and five strikers.

The U20 girls remain Nigeria’s most successful women’s team at the global level, winning silver at the FIFA World Cup twice (Germany 2010 and Canada 2014) and bronze once (Japan 2012), and reaching the quarterfinals in Thailand (2004), Russia (2006) and Chile (2008).

Nigeria will battle Haiti, China and Germany in Group D of the 16 –nation finals,

while Africa’s other flagbearer Ghana must negotiate a tough Group A against host France, New Zealand and The Netherlands.

The Falconets’ opening match is against perennial foes Germany (who beat Nigeria in the 2010 and 2014 Final matches) at the Stade de Marville in Saint-Malo on Monday, 6th August, before clashes with Haiti at the same venue on Thursday, 9th August and against China in Dinan/Léhon’s Stade de Clos Gastel on Monday, 13th August.

FULL SQUAD Goalkeepers [3]: Okeke Onyinyechukwu [Edo Queens]; Nnadozie Chiamaka [Rivers Angels]; Akarekor Rita [Sunshine Queens] Defenders [6]: Ogbonna Glory (Ibom

Angels]; Famuditi Oluwakemi Confluence Queens]; Duru Joy [Nasarawa Amazons]; Ologbosere Mary [Rivers Angels]; Sunday Opeyemi [Sunshine Queens]; Ezekiel Blessing [Rivers Angels]; Midfielders [7]: Saiki Mary [Rivers Angels]; Ucheibe Christy [Nasarawa Amazons]; Efih Peace [Edo Queens]; Saheed Adebisi [Bayelsa Queens]; Amoo Bashirat [Confluence Queens]; Igboamalu Grace [Nasarawa Amozons]; Odueke Taibat [Edo Queens]; Forwards [5]: Monday Gift [FC Robo]; Ajibade Rasheedat [FC Robo]; Imo Anam [Nasarawa Amazons]; Okeke Chidinma [FC Robo]; Bello Aishat [Nasarawa Amazons]

Alex Nwora banks on hard work for D’Tiger’s World Cup ticket Head coach of the men’s national senior basketball team, D’Tigers, Alex Nwora, is banking on hard work and better team chemistry to improve the chances of his team qualifying for the FIBA 2019 world Cup. Nwora made this known after the team narrowly lost to world number 1, United States of America, at the weekend in the finals of the PEAK international invitational tournament in China.

He said: “I am very happy with where we are as a team, I think we can do better. We still have a long way to go to be able to have that type of team to compete with anybody in the world.”

Looking ahead of the second round of qualifications between September 14 and 16, holding in Lagos, Nwora said more work is required to achieve more.

He said: “We have a very good chance, but nothing is cast on stone yet.

“The more you work, the more confident you become.

“If we keep doing what we are doing and keep pushing forward, the odds favour us.

“We will do what we are supposed to do without cutting corners.”

Despite amassing maximum points from six games and sitting comfortably atop group F, Nwora highlighted availability of players as one of the biggest challenges ahead of the games against Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire and Central Africa.

“We still have to get stronger as a team, unit rotation and also availability of players which is the biggest problem which I hope we will find a way to fix,” Nwora said.

With players sealing new contracts and some taking part in the NBA summer league amidst other unforeseen circumstances, Nwora says some new faces are expected to be called up into the team.

He is hopeful that the best available players can be assembled and given enough preparation time to build up team chemistry.

NFF boss seeks private sector support for youth sports The First Vice President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Seyi Akinwunmi, has called on private sector players to be more supportive of the development of youth sports, explaining that their contribution would boost national sports, reduce crime rate and increase brand loyalty.

Akinwunmi made the call in Lagos at the kick-off of this year’s Cowbell Football Academy Summer Camp, an initiative sponsored by Cowbell Milk, the flagship brand of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, makers of Loya Milk, Top Tea, Onga and other quality brands.

Akinwunmi, who is also the Chairman of Lagos State Football Association and NFF Youth Development Committee, said initiatives like Cowbell Football Academy is relevant to building an enduring nation.

He, however, lamented that such programmes are increasingly becoming rare.

Unveiling the three-week intensive training for primary and secondary school children, Akinwunmi noted: “Initiatives like this are lacking across board.

“This is a laudable programme brought to reality by Promasidor Nigeria.

“We need to get everybody on the same page to harness the potential in corporate sponsorship in developing youth sports. People need to know the enormous benefits in this area.”

Akinwunmi said Nigeria needed a consensus to create a sustainable

youth development plan, adding that the stability of key organisations is important to drafting such blueprint.

According to him, the country would also need to create an inclusive structure to attract the private sector to youth development.

Akinwunmi commended Promasidor Nigeria Limited for its commitment not only to youth sports but also in key areas such as education and career awareness.

He urged other organisations to follow similar path, stressing: “They will surely reap the benefits.”

Also commending Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Nduka Irabor, a sports enthusiast and former Chairman of the League Management Company, said: “The only way to start developing the sports sector is starting early like Promasidor Nigeria has done.”

Irabor, who was also Chairman of the House of Representatives

Committee on Communications, lamented that while many corporate entities are interested in celebrating success, not many bothered about the all-important grassroots sports.

Loveday Omoruyi, an exinternational and coach of Stationery Stores Football Club, observed that well-managed football academies are key in fixing the challenges in the national teams.

Omoruyi said: “We cannot produce the next Kanu Nwankwo or Austin Jay Jay Okocha except we start grooming young talents at tender age. Unfortunately, many corporate organisations do not want to sponsor grassroots football. All the banks and big manufacturing companies had football clubs those days. They may not necessarily be involved like Promasidor Nigeria has done via CFA.” The Head of Legal/Public Relations, Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Andrew Enahoro, said the company is committed to the dream of Cowbell Football Academy and expanding its scope despite harsh economy as a result of its desire to positively impact Nigerian youths.

Enahoro said: “This is just one of our youth-centric corporate social responsibilities.

“Through Cowbellpedia Secondary School Mathematics Television Quiz Competition, we are also stimulating young people’s interest in mathematics.

“For us, it is not only about bottomline but also about the future of the Nigerian child.”
