...2 witnesses die after testifying against ex-Gov Continued from page 1 prosecution of the case. Nyako is being prosecuted by the EFCC alongside his son, Senator Abdul-Aziz Nyako, Abubakar Aliyu and Zulkifikk Abba, on a 37-count charge of alleged N29billion money laundering, criminal conspiracy, stealing and abuse of office Five firms that allegedly served as conduit pipes for the illegal diversion of the funds - Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited, are also being prosecuted before the court as the 5th to 9th defendants. Testifying as the 20th prosecution witness, Odofin, who had started his testimony on June 23, 2018 and tendered documents which were admitted in evidence, told the court on November 26, that Mohammad Maj Iro, who was the General Manager, Zenith Bank Plc, the Regional Manager in charge of North-East, and the Account Officer of Adamawa State 200 accounts, domiciled in Zenith bank, died after making “crucial statements”, at the time of filing the case in the court. While being led in evidence by the prosecuting lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, on November 27, the detective told the court that the EFCC also extended invitations to Dalhatu Abdulmalik, who was the cousin to Nyako and the Director of Ameak Investment Limited, Kirkelly Investment Limited and Pilkola Engineering Limited, and that after giving his own statement, during the point of filing the case in court, he also died. Referring to Maj Iro, Odofin said he pulled out over N800million from the Adamawa State account, and credited same to Crust Energy Limited, the 9th defendant in the case, taking orders from former Governor Nyako. Odofin explained that transactions over two accounts belonging to the State (Special Service Department, SSD, and Secretary to the State Government, SSG) drew the attention of the EFCC. He said, “the transactions on these accounts, showed how money was being withdrawn in multiple of N10million on different dates, running into billions of naira, by the late Mohammad Maj Iro” “The question is, why did Maj Iro withdraw money from Adamawa State account, without being a staff of the state government? Investigations revealed that memos were originated from permanent secretaries of the SSD, Mohammed Ibrahim Jidado and that of the SSG, Emmanuel Ibrahim. “Having generated these memos, same were forwarded to SSG for transmission to the number
one citizen of the State, the governor. Upon the approval of these memos, same came back to the SSG”. He explained that vouchers were raised after the approval of the memos, in the name of the Permanent Secretary, the Accountant and cashier as the same and now taken to Maj Iro. Odofin said, “Having received these cheques, Maj Iro, being a seasoned banker, pulled out these monies from the two accounts ( SSD and SSG) and he starts crediting various individuals and corporate accounts, most especially, without the knowledge of the account owners. “Maj Iro credited Zenith Bank accounts of the 5th to the 9th defendants (Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited), out of the money he pulled out from Adamawa State account. Part of the money Maj Iro transferred to Tower Asset Management Limited, the sum of N678million was transferred to Crust Energy on different dates. “Maj Iro also transferred N160million out of the money he pulled out from Adamawa State account to a company called Maxion Option Limited. Maxion Option Limited transferred same to Crust Energy Limited zenith bank account”. The witness further told the court how Maj Iro disbursed millions of naira to the companies used to launder state funds. He said, “Maj Iro also transferred sums of money on different dates to Sabore Farms Limited. Out of the money transferred to the company by Maj Iro, the sum of N20million was transferred to Mainstream Energy Limited. Another N20million was transferred from same Sabore Farms to one Sanni Hello of Mainstream Energy Limited. Another N10million was transferred to Crust Energy Limited”, Odofin said. The statements by Maj Iro at the Commission were later tendered and admitted in evidence by the court. Justice Abang then said, “Statements made by Maj Iro on June 21, 2014; June 24, 2014; July 2, 2014; July 10, 2014; July 15, 2014; July 22, 2014; July 23, 2014; August 29, 2014 and October 22, 2014 admitted in evidence as LL40-1 to Ll40-9, respectively”. The court further admitted in evidence, the statements made by Dalhatu Abdulmalik andadjourned the matter till Thursday for continuation of trial.
Buhari okays 213 new broadcast licences for broadcasting outfits
P r e s i d e n t Muhammadu Buhari has approved the issuance of operating licences to 213 new public and private broadcasting outfits in the country. The Director-General of National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Ishaq Modibbo-Kawu, disclosed this on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at the opening of the 71st General Assembly of Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON). Giving the breakdown, Modibbo-Kawu said that the president approved 147 new FM radio licences; 23 DTT Television licences, three new national radio network licences and two national television licences. He said the commission had also received presidential
approval for 16 campus radio stations; 24 community broadcasters and three public organisations FM licences. The NBC Director-General said that the total of 213 licences were the single largest number of stations ever licenced at any point in Nigerian broadcasting history. He reiterated the importance of BON as the umbrella body for all the broadcasting outfits in the country. “Our industry is opening up and the importance of broadcasting will become greater as a contributor to the economic fortunes. It is also a platform of molding the values of national development,” he said. The NBC boss raised concern over the spiking of hate and dangerous speech, which was freely broadcast
on leading television networks. He said the NBC commissioned a major study of Hate and Dangerous Speech in Nigerian broadcasting, using the 2015 general election as a case study. “The Validation Report from that study has been presented in Kano; Enugu and Sokoto. We will similarly present the report very soon in Lagos and at a big national gathering of broadcasters and other national institutions in Abuja. “The NBC has also gathered a lot of experience from elections in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun states,” he said. Modibbo-Kawu cautioned that as the country entered

States, FCT IGR hit N579.490bn in 6 months Motolani Oseni, Lagos
The 36 States of the federation and FCT have recorded an Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of N579.490 billion in the first half of 2018, as against N453.833 billion posted in the corresponding period of 2017, representing a growth of 27.7 per cent year-on-year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has shown. The latest statistics showed that 28 states recorded growth in IGR while 8 states, including Abia, Anambra, Benue, Taraba, Kebbi, Kwara, Ebonyi and Enugu, recorded a decline in 2018 H1. In the first and second quarters of the year, the states generated N280.835 billion and N263.343 billion respectively. The revenues generated by the states came mainly from Pay-As-You-Earn Tax (N352.509 billion), Direct Assessment (N26.293 billion), Road Taxes (N11.681 billion), Other Taxes (N84.033 billion) and revenues from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (N104.972 billion). A breakdown of the report showed that Lagos, Rivers,
Ogun, FCT and Delta were the best five performers during the period under review. For instance, Lagos State generated total sum of N196.395 billion, increased by 16.88 per cent from N168.025 billion in H1 2017, to top the list. In second place is Rivers with N60.906 billion, an increase of 36.13 per cent, from the N44.742 billion recorded last year. Ogun State improved by 6.70 per cent to N42.519 billion from N39.849 billion in the comparable period of 2017. As for FCT, it recorded N35.311 billion during the period, while Delta State posted N29.797 billion, a growth of 17.80 percent from N25.103 billion in 2017. In 2017, the states generated N931.23 billion, an increase of 12.03 per cent from 2016. In the second half of 2017, the total revenue generated by states was N432.65bn, compared to N409.09 billion in first half of the year. Meanwhile, the net allocation from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) in half year 2018 stood at N1.23 trillion while the total revenue
available to the states was put at N1.74 trillion. However, the value of foreign debt stood at $4.22 billion, while domestic debt had reached N3.38 trillion as at the end of June 2018, compared to $4.11 billion and N3.35 trillion as at December 2017. The NBS, in its State Level IGR report for the second quarter (Q2, 2018), further explained that some states declared high level of increases including Akwa Ibom with a 61.5 per cent increase in IGR to N11.8 billion as at June 2018 from N7.32 billion a year earlier. Cross River and Gombe states marked 47.44 and 40.9 percent increases from N6.6 billion to N9.75 billion and from N1.7 billion to N2.4 billion respectively, during the review periods. But going by the revenue and debt profiles of the states, it is apparent that several of them would likely collapse without allocations from the federally collected revenue. Already, many states are incapable of paying monthly salaries to their workers without the

monthly disbursement from the FAAC. The Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had advised state governments to slash bogus overhead spending by embracing fiscal discipline in order ensure higher deliverables. Ahmed, made the call in Kaduna State during the
week, while speaking at the ongoing 2018 Conference of the National Council on Finance and Economic Development (NACOFED). She maintained that states should look inwards to harness various avenues to improve on their financial resources in order to meet demands in their states.
Metele attack: Reps probes $1bn defence funding Demands release of dead soldiers’ names
Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, began investigation into all funds appropriated for utilisation by the military in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents in the North East. The lawmakers also demanded that the army should after due consultations with families make public the names of the soldiers killed by the insurgents during the November 18 deadly attack on the village of Metele, Borno State. This resolution was sequel to the adoption of the motion sponsored by Deputy Minority Leader, Rep. Chukwuka Onyema (PDP/Anambra), during plenary presided over by Speaker Yakubu Dogara. Moving the motion, Rep. Onyema, stated that no fewer than 118 Nigerian soldiers of the 157 Battalion were massacred by Boko Haram insurgents, who now called themselves Islamic State West Africa, at Metele in Borno State. According to him, the initial casualty figures was put at 44, but added that as more details emerged, “it is now confirmed that 188 soldiers and officers
were killed together with their Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. Ibrahim Sakaba, while about 150 more soldiers and officers are still missing. ‘He declared that based on reports, the insurgents carted away large consignment of weapons from the Melete army base which security experts say would embolden the insurgents to carry out their deadly mission. ‘’While the news of the attack and death toll continued to increase, neither the President and Commander - in - Chief nor the Minister of Defence or the army authorities said anything about the report as there was silence for more than five days. ‘’The President and C-In-C finally broke his silence six days after the attack in a statement issued on his behalf,” he added. The lawmaker said it was unfortunate that in the last one year, no fewer than 600 Nigerian soldiers have been killed by insurgents, mostly in Borno State and around the fringes of the Lake Chad. He enumerated instances of attacks launched by Boko Haram fighters against Nigerian soldiers within the year under review.
Rep. Onyema, who expressed regret that while the executive continues to insist that Boko Haram terrorists had been technically defeated, the insurgents seem to be waxing stronger on a daily basis, asserting that this trend prompted the President to direct the service chiefs to permanently relocate to the Theatre Command Centre in Maiduguri until the terrorists are defeated. He said it was disheartening that with the recent happenings in the North, all the successes and gains made against Boko Haram have been reversed. Contributing to debate on the motion, Rep. Nnenna Ukeje (PDP/Abia) said it was high time Nigeria began to change tactics in order to checkmate the audacity of the Boko Haram insurgents. She urged the Federal Government to take a cue from Pakistan and review the curriculum of its military. Rep. Aminu Shagari (PDP/ Sokoto), who queried how the recently appropriated $1 billion was used, described the attack as sad, while Rep. Beni Lar (PDP/Plateau) called for the sack of the service chiefs. However, Rep. Idris Ease
(APC/Plateau) called on the House to treat the matter dispassionately devoid of political sentiment. Chairman, House Committee on Army Rep. Rimande Shawulu (PDP/Taraba), recalled that last year, there were reports that about 6, 000 members of the Islamic State in Syria (ISIS) found their way into sub-Saharan Africa. According to him, some of the things we are seeing now are not unexpected, arguing that the porous nature of the country’s borders poses serious challenges. Shawulu, however, said that there was the need for the security agencies to account for the funds appropriated to them. Other lawmakers who contributed in the debate include Reps Johnson Agbonayinma, Stephanus Gyang, Aminu Shagari, Edward Pwajok, Zakari Mohammed among others. Speaker Dogara, after over an hour deliberation on the motion, described the development as an eye-opener. He said it was time the leadership in the country began to take responsibility and not to apportion blame.
Dogara
‘’Is the international task force still in existence or has it collapsed? The task force comprise Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger. ‘’One wonders if they are really in operation and how Boko Haram could defy the team to overrun the military base. I think we have to begin to take responsibility and not to apportion blame,” he said. When the motion was put to a voice vote by the speaker, the lawmakers unanimously adopted it. An ad hoc committee to investigate all funds appropriated for utilisation by the armed forces for the fight against Boko Haram was set up by the House. The committee was also charged to look into the operational lapses that led to the killings of the soldiers.

We’re yet to release presidential campaign timetable, PDP tells Nigerians Wants members, supporters to await official signal
Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denounced a fictitious timetable of its Presidential campaign programme in circulation, stating that the party is yet to officially release campaign schedule. National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Tuesday, in a statement said the phony timetable in circulation on social
media does not emanate from the party. He, therefore, urged members of PDP as well as numerous supporters of its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to earnestly wait for official pronouncement from authorised persons in the party on campaign schedule. Ologbondiyan said: “The attention of the party has been drawn to a phony post circulating on the social media, purported to be the PDP Presidential campaign
timetable. “The fabricators of the post even went further to allocate venues and dates for zonal rallies, which they claimed to have emanated from the PDP Presidential campaign council. “For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP clarifies that it has not yet released any timetable or timelines for our Presidential campaigns. Similarly, our party has not yet allotted any dates or venues for our campaigns. “The leadership of
the PDP therefore urges all our members and supporters across board to completely disregard the said timetable on the social media, as it did not emanate from the PDP. “The PDP Presidential Campaign Council led by His Excellency, Senator Bukola Saraki, will soon make public the authentic timetable for our Presidential campaign and such information will have the full seal of our party and disseminated through PDP official handles”.
Eastern Rail lines to cost FG N9trn - Amaechi Alleges that non approval of $30bn loan by NASS stalls execution Tunde Opalana, Abuja Minister of Transportation, Chubuike Rotimi Amaechi, said it will cost Federal Government a sum of $12.8 billion, equivalent of about N9 trillion, to construct standard gauge of rail lines from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. He said this whopping is about the size of the entire budget for the country in a year. The Minister made the revelation on Wednesday while appearing before the Senate Joint Committees on Land Transport, Local and Foreign Debts investigating the alleged abandonment of the Eastern rail lines in the rail revitalisation projects across the country. Amaechi as well alleged that the refusal of the Senate and by extension, the National Assembly to approve the $30bn foreign loan requested for by the Federal Government is stalling the project. The minister’s appearance was consequent upon the mandated last week by the Senate that the joint committees should summon him to clarify the alleged exclusion of Eastern rail line in the nationwide railway projects across the country, captured in the foreign loan obtained by President Muhammadu Buhari for that purpose. The Senate took the decision following its consideration and adoption of a motion moved by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, drawing the attention of the chamber to
the perceived injustice to the Eastern flank of the rail project. Amaechi reiterated Federal Government’s stand that there was no plan to exclude the region from the rail project and assured the committee that the area is already captured in the 2018 borrowing plans of the Federal Government, part of which was the $30bn foreign loan from China Exim Bank. He added that though on their own part as executive, the required design for the project has been done but approval for both the design and costing are being delayed by bureaucratic bottleneck caused by the Public Procurement Act (PPA). Amaechi said: “The Public Procurement Act is very tedious and takes a long time to conclude the process which must be followed because President Buhari had always insisted that the rule of law be followed to the letter. “The President insists on rule of law and the law passed by the National Assembly in terms of public procurement is very tedious and not easy to conclude; it takes a very long time. “Similarly, the law passed by the National Assembly on the Bureau for Public procurement is very tedious”. The Minister also pointed out that railway project was very capital intensive, and that the Federal Government did not have sufficient fund to implement the railway projects across the
country at the same time. He explained that following the inadequacy of funds confronting the government, the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration had decided to adopt a systematic approach in the project execution, saying that it was as the loan was approved, then government would apply the fund and do what it could afford. His words:” We have met with both GE and the consortium handling the project for nearly two years now and we are still on it even as the first firm as handed over to TRANSNET, meaning Transport Network. “Let me make it clear, the country does not have the resources to do railway in every village. It is not possible. $2.7 billion is one trillion Naira. “So, for the railway you want to do from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri is about $12 .8 billion which is about N9 trillion equivalent to one year budget of Nigeria. “Therefore, everything is done systematically, we can’t do all the projects at the same time. What we are doing is as we get the loan approved, we execute the project. Currently, we are following due process for the one of South East. “Currently we have placed an advertisement on the Eastern Rail lines. Sometime in 2017, we placed an advertisement for rail from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri and that is what the law expects us to do. We can’t skip the law on construction of standard gauge.
“Again, even the narrow gauge construction does not only concern the South East. The same narrow gauge transversed Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. I don’t know what other thing the Senate expects from me on this project except to say that it is work in progress. “We are not magicians and the current law we have insists on the number of times we shall advertise a project, we completed the project, we pass it to Bureau for Public Procurement, which in turn will be referred to us before we go to the cabinet for presentation and I think we are set to go to the cabinet for approval.” On the insinuation that General Electric (GE) has pulled out of the project, Amaechi explained that the company handed over the contract to another sister company because it was no longer in the transport business. “It (GE) handed over the job to another sister company in the consortium which is Trans-net. We are at the verge of signing the contract agreement and it is when we finished signing the consortium agreement that we will begin to look for money to execute the project. The total cost of the project is $2.7 billion and it is a Private Partnership agreement,” he noted. The Chairman of the Committee, Gbenga Ashafa, expressed satisfaction with the explanation given by Amaechi, urging the Minister to ensure that no section of the country was excluded from the rail project.

the season of heightened political activities, en route the 2019 general election, NBC would not hesitate to sanction erring stations. He said: “For us at the NBC, we cannot be responsible for the statements that politicians make. “It is important to remind the broadcasting outfits in BON that you would be liable for any violations of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code by the politicians that you broadcast live during political rallies. “So it is your responsibility, not just to collect those huge sums politicians are willing to pay; but you must make them remember the liability you carry for decency in what comes out on radio and television”. On the on-going Digital Switch Over (DSO), he said work had been completed on digital mapping of the country. He said the mapping was critical to speedy completion of the DSO. “We now know the number of transmission sites that would be needed and all the strategic partners in the DSO can now adequately plan their place in the process. The Signal Distributors have also prepared a Rate Card that would be presented to this Assembly for a robust discussion before it is validated. We have also approved a new Verimatrix Conditional Access System and an alternative platform, to enhance a competitive DSO process for our country,” he said. Modibbo-Kawu said the payment the NBC made to one of its Signal Distributors, Pinnacle Communications was justifiable. He said with the fund, Pinnacle Communications had installed some of the best transmission systems in the world for the DSO, in Kaduna and Abuja.
Buhari
“We are launching very soon a Push Video-onDemand pilot project in Abuja and Kaduna. This would offer opportunity to watch Nigerian films with our Set Top Boxes. “It will also assist the process of eliminating the menace of piracy. I feel a disappointment that most of you have not rallied in defence of the investment done and the quality of broadcasting, as well as the entire DSO process, that the false reports were targeted at undermining,” he said. The DG reminded BON members of their licensing fees obligations to the NBC. He said many broadcasting organisations had refused to pay, as and when due. “Many of you canvass the unacceptable argument about the economic situation in the country. “But licence fees are statutory, and those who do not pay should not be on air! It is as simple as that! “That is the iron logic of capitalist economics. I will like to remind all those who are owing the NBC these statutory licence fees, that we would visit you very soon, before you collect the huge sums from the political parties. You would either pay us or you would be shut down and so would unable to collect money for political broadcasts!” he added. Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, who declared the event opened, said that BON had great role to play in the 2019 general election, adding that prompt and accurate report of events would aid the process. Represented by his Deputy, Dr. Ipalibo Harry-Banigo, the governor said the state had provided friendly environment for broadcasting and investors in the sector. He disclosed that out of hitherto 250 existing broadcasting outfits, 25 were located in the state.

Whistle Blower Policy: Over N540bn recovered – Minister Tom Okpe, Abuja
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said that the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has so far recovered over N540 billion through the Whistle Blower Policy. The Minister disclosed this on Tuesday at the 71st General Assembly of the Broadcasting Organisations’ of Nigeria (BON) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. He also said to this end, as at May this year, the EFCC, through the Whistle Blower Policy, has recovered over N527 billion, $53 million, and £122,890. Alhaji Mohammed, who was represented by the Director, Public Relations and Protocol, of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Mr. Sunny Adejoh Baba, said the EFCC also successfully launched a major onslaught on the seeming high–and–mighty in the society, including senior military officer and their civilian
accomplices, who had soiled their hands with shady deals, leading to the recovery of choice assets across the country. “This effort should not be seen as the sole effort of Mr. President or the Government alone. The media has a duty to ensure that the programs of Government, meant to uplift the lots of the citizenry, are projected as a national cause and not just as that of Mr. President or the administration”, he said. Alhaji Mohammed who said the BON General Assembly is taking place at an auspicious time in view of the forthcoming general elections, charged the broadcasting organizations not to yield their platforms to the purveyors of hate speech and fake news saying; “the broadcasting outfits should instead promote the unity, stability and development of the country. “Anything short of this would amount to a criminal abdication of a sacred duty which could spell doom for our collective national life. We have had enough sordid examples to learn from that we ought not to allow a repeat at this critical time of our national
development. “It is therefore of utmost importance that the media and specifically, broadcast media, do not allow itself to become a purveyor of fake news and hate speeches”. The Minister restated the Federal Government’s commitment to allowing the press to carry out its assigned watchdog roles, even as government expects the press to be guided by national interest above every other interest. Alhaji Mohammed said the launch of the Digital Switch- Over (DSO) in Jos in April 2016 underscored the Administration’s determination to democratize the right to know, the right to knowledge and the right to be informed. The Minister therefore urged companies in the broadcasting value-chain to take the advantage of the market and build local stations that would not only create employment for a diverse segment of the population, but would also lead to a transfer of technology and free the creative dexterity of the young population.

Short News Reps seek release of judiciary funds by Presidency Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives on Tuesday urged the Buhari administration to direct the Minister of Finance, to release all outstanding funds due the judiciary as contained in the 2018 Appropriation Act. This resolution followed the adoption of the motion entitled: “Refusal of the minister of finance to release funds standing to the credit of the judiciary” sponsored by Rep. Aminu Shehu Shagari (PDP/Sokoto). Moving the motion, Rep. Shagari stated that the funding of the judiciary is on first line charge as stipulated in Section 81(3) of the 1999 Constitution. According to the lawmaker, “any amount standing to the credit of the judiciary in the consolidated revenue fund of the federation shall be paid and disbursed directly to the National Judiciary Council for disbursement to the heads of courts established for the federation and the states.” Shagari further said that the essence of the above provision was to guarantee financial and administrative independence of the judiciary, “thereby insulating it from interference and control by any other arm of government”.
Open defecation: 23.5% Nigerians culpable - Expert Samuel Luka, Bauchi An environmental Health expert with the College of Health Science, Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Dr Aluko Olufemi has revealed that about 23.5 per cent of households in Nigeria practice open defecation. Dr Olufemi stated this yesterday during a stake holders meeting organized by WaterAid to review Bauchi state government’s policy on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) held at Destination Hotel Bauchi. He maintained that the unhealthy attitude was not unconnected with lack of befitting toilets in some households which according to him, contribute to diseases, morbidity and mortality rates in the society. According to him, every eight seconds a child dies as a result of a condition related to unsafe water, unclean domestic environments and improper ‘excreta’ disposal globally. Olufemi who noted that the standards set by Nigerian National Water Supply and Sanitation policy of 2000 stipulated that safe water should be located within a distance of 100 meters from the household residence lamented that there is no proper inspection of water sources fetched by Nigerians or water vendors by governments at all levels to ensure that citizens consume potable water.

has perpetually increased funding for the education sector. He said: “We have consistently supported the education sector by raising its budget every year since we came on board. For instance in the first budget that we did, we took up the capital allocation for education to N35.99 billion in 2016. Then in 2017 we took it up to N56.81 billion and this year 2018, the current capital budget for education is N102.9 billion” The Vice President urged participants to come up with innovative ways by which increased funding of education can be achieved in Nigeria. Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu on his part, said teacher training equally needs attention, in order to make the profession more attractive as well as enhance the quality of education at all levels. Adamu emphasized the need for adequate funding and planning, in the quest to move the education sector forward, adding that sustaining the sector is a responsibility of all. “The main problem actually is, if a teacher doesn’t get a very good pre-service training, he is not likely to offer anything useful to his pupils or students. Education
is a responsibility of all and I call on the State and Local Governments, our agencies, parastatals and indeed all Nigerians to join hands, so that we will be able to raise the funds needed to fund education,” the Minister appealed. Speaking earlier, Mr Harnas Chandy, who gave a goodwill message on behalf of the World Bank, commended Nigeria for taking timely steps that will help determine Nigeria’s education plans and spending. He said countries have to move fast to improve the quality of education by making the right investments on education. The World Bank rep said Nigeria is a global key player that has to play its critical role at all times. “The world needs to improve. There are some key players in the world and Nigeria is a key player in the world; Nigeria is a key global player and for the world to do well, Nigeria has to do well,” he stressed. Chandy however, lamented that fifty percent of children in school across the globe were not getting the needed education. Participants at the workshop, who comprise critical stakeholders in education, were drawn from the 36 states of the country.
Elders of Oke-Oroma have commended the Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare ll for the various traditional reforms he has initiated including a law to prohibit forcible entry and illegal occupation. A statement by Mr. Idusuyi Emokpae, a member of Oke-Oroma village, intervening in a protracted boundary dispute between Oke-Oroma village and the people of Amagba Community whose lifestyle had been cushioned by privilege He recalled the positive role and contributions of the palace authorities who had sent emissaries to the village on a fact finding mission with a mandate to resolve the long, often tedious land dispute struggle by aborigines and indigenes which have set many residents on edge. He also gave a graphic detail of how the crises started, drifted and allegedly led to blood-letting which displaced several others. He alleged complicity by some members of outlawed Amagba Community Development Association (CDA) who were yet to embrace enduring peace in the past months.
Atiku’s endorsement by 38 parties blatant lies - IPAC Dan Garba, Yola
Adamawa State aggrieved Inter-Party advisory council (IPAC) members have denied endorsing Atiku Abubakar of People’s Democracy Party (PDP) Presidential candidate. In a Press conference at the Yola NUJ secretariat, the spokesperson, Mr Aboki Wunuji stressed that they do not endorse Atiku as their candidate but were on a mission to his House in Yola to congratulate him as the new Waziri Adamawa. While reading the press statement, Wunuji said: “IPAC Members, Chairman of various political parties in the state paid a visit to the former Vice president, Alh. Atiku Abubakar Numbering 38 at his residence at 80 units Jimeta-Yola. “Earlier at the occasion, the PDP state chairman, Barrister A T Shehu on behave of IPAC members in a statement revealed that they have come to endorse Atiku Abubakar as their presidential candidate in 2019. “We want the public to note that the statement made by Bakawu Usman, the Adamawa state IPAC publicity secretary to Sahara reporters on the 19th November, 2018 that Adamawa state IPAC have endorsed Mr Atiku Abubakar it is completely not true and is blatant lie and should be disregarded by all.” In an effort to respond to questions raised by journalists,he said IPAC is not an endorsement organization but an advisory council not endorsing Atiku of PDP Presidential candidate.

Party slogans and matters arising
Emmanuel Umohinyang
One of the attributes of great leaders is the mastery of the art of pro – activeness, especially at very critical moments of nationhood. Unfortunately, this art is almost alien to most of our leaders as they are caught napping at times when they are expected to rise to the occasion, leading to a yawning gap between African countries and the developed world in terms of growth and technological advancement. This no doubt has been the bane of most of African countries, including Nigeria, leaving unpalatable consequences which impeded and continues to impede our growth and development. It was therefore a thing of joy when President Muhammadu Buhari, not wanting to be bitten by this terrible bug launched Next Level 2019, a compilation of his achievements and plans for a second term. One of the most striking features of the event was that it took place almost as soon as the curtain on political activities for 2019 general election was raised which is very instructive. This, no doubt, is remarkable as it is a demonstration on the part of the president that he is truly serious about leading the nation again to consolidate on the achievements of the last few years. Given the fact that a lot of efforts must have gone into the project, it also underscores that he is not taking Nigerians for granted and a demonstration of the fact that he clearly identifies with their hopes and aspirations. This is a clear departure from what we
used to see in the recent past when aspirants at various levels approach us to vote for them without any level of seriousness. Curiously, these are people who we entrust our destiny into their hands as they are naturally saddled with steering the ship of state. It is therefore safe to say that our decisions and indecisions in the recent past is largely connected to the unfortunate rape of our commonwealth by these leaders. This is the major reason why the launch of Next Level 2019 by President Buhari needs to be applauded by all men and women of goodwill who truly love the growth and advancement of our nation, especially at this critical moment. Aside from providing an insight into the journey of the present administration so far, Next Level 2019 gives detailed information about the administration’s plans for the future. The document therefore presents Nigerians and all lovers of Nigeria, ample opportunity to score the Buhari administration based on its promises especially the landmarks recorded in the fight against corruption, agric revolution, diversification of the economy, infrastructural development, economic emancipation for the poorest of the poor, fight against Boko Haram and more. This, no doubt, is very crucial as it lets the reader into the much – needed details that could be used in assessing the performance of the Buhari administration in all critical sectors as opposed to speculation or hearsay. Aside this, the document is a veritable research material which is bound to be useful to Voters, Students, Academics Researchers,
etc, who may need critical information about the government. Perhaps, for the first time in our national history, “Next Level 2019” presents Nigerians with critical information needed for decision making at a very critical period in our national history. This is unsurprising as the Buhari administration has never hidden its desire to run a transparently open system for the benefit of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora. Though some members of the opposition have criticised the document, the good thing about it is that they have not been able to rubbish the facts presented. Worse still, it is doubtful whether anyone remembers the title of the document launched by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, same day President Buhari launched next level 2019. This, no doubt, speaks volume especially when one considers the voodoo economics of Atiku which many have so far dismissed as unworkable and an attempt to hoodwink Nigerians to vote for him in his desperate bid to rule Nigerian in 2019. The question really is: can the achievements of Buhari over three and a half years in critical sectors of our economy – Agriculture, Solid minerals, Power, infrastructure, Health, Anti – corruption, etc, be waved aside by discerning Nigerians? For the first time in our nation, the country has made more money than it has made from non – oil exports since independence. From Agriculture, to Solid minerals, the profile of the Buhari administration keeps
rising by the day and winning global applause. This is not forgetting the giant strides made in power, job creation, road construction and more for which Nigerian remain grateful. Consequently, Next Level 2019 is most expedient at this time as it is a story of what the Buhari administration hopes to achieve in the next four years as part of strategies aimed at putting Nigeria back on stream to make her regain our lost position in the comity of nations. Can anyone say he does not desire railways working across the nation as being carried out by the Buhari administration, especially since this government kick started this project some years back? Would anyone kick against the on – going efforts to make our Airports world-class as demonstrated with the Port Harcourt Airport, and the successful construction of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja second runway by this administration? Does anyone hate the on – going social intervention projects aimed at breaking the artificial wall between the rich and the poor through Trader moni and other empowerment schemes to lift the poor out poverty as demonstrated by the Buhari administration? Even the South – East where President Buhari administration recorded the least votes has about 70 on – going projects across the zone, with more to come. This is what the next level 2019 is all about as it all about the Nigeria of our dreams. Now is the time for all hands to be on deck by supporting PMB for a deserved second term in office.
The campaigns of damaging propaganda
Raymond Oise-Oghaede
Now that the electioneering campaigns for the 2019 elections have been officially declared opened by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); I am inclined to use this medium to wish all political parties and their candidates the best of luck as they take advantage of the window to sell their manifestos to the electorates. My advice to them is to ensure that their campaigns are instructive and issues-oriented where diverse opinions and strategies are showcased on how to tackle the numerous problems bedeviling the country and bringing dividends of democracy to the people. Essentially, the electorates would have been well informed and adequately prepared to making their preferred choice(s) even before the polls. It could also pave way for some candidates to voluntarily dump their aspirations and align with those that have better and workable agenda/ plans for the masses. This is the beauty of democracy which electioneering campaigns are majorly meant to achieve. However, it is very disheartening that what is attainable in our clime is entirely different from those of successful democracies of the world. Political parties and their supporters believe that the most effective way to campaign and win the votes of the electorates is to destroy the images, reputations, values and integrities of other opposing parties/candidates. Thus, the trending style is what could be conveniently described as the `DAMAGING PROPAGANDA` or `CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY`. These campaigns which cut across all human strata, cover wide range of areas and they are carried out through the electronic and print media such as the social media, rallies, debates/discussions, commentaries, and posters to mention but a few. Presently, the social media is buzzing with such stories as of a certain `Jubril`, Atikulooter, Gandollar, APShits, PDThieves, Sarakigate, Oshiodollar, Obigotry, Biafraud, Buharideens, Fulani Jihadists, and others too numerous to mention. On every sides of the divide where the damaging missile is targeted, the sympathizers also fire their own counter missile(s) to complete the dangerous circle. A closer look at the basis of most of these propaganda show that they have political undertone and are being championed by enemies of democracy. If
at all there are substantial facts in issue, such should have been directed to the appropriate quarters rather than heating up the polity and constituting threats to our democracy. It would therefore not be out of place to say that the propagandists are using such damaging information or allegations to do the biddings of their `PAY MASTERS`. Unfortunately, their entourages and fans on social media are ridiculously naïve and ever ready to `Like` and give `supporting comments` to these malicious and damaging posts without reasonable second thought. Their stock in trade is posting negative inferences to poison the minds of the people and tear them apart on sentimental lines for the purpose to justifying their supports for particular candidate(s)/party to the detriments of the unity and progress of the citizenry and the country. So bad is the situation that while the propagandists` accounts and profiles are soaring (for causing confusion and disaffection in the society); most of their followers remained in state of abject poverty, and some even skipped a meal or two to buy data used for the dirty jobs. Sadly, our leaders and the elites who ought to condemn these acts and forge a common front to eradicate them are tacitly supporting the evil because of the perceived political undertone and destructive (dis) advantages. Thus, when the salvo is coming from one part of the divide, the leaders and elites on that side see it as being in order and justifiable; but, when same is coming from the other side of the line, it becomes bad and condemnable. Consequent upon the aforementioned, it is not surprising that numerous unimaginable stories, posts, video and audio clips are being circulated unrestrained on daily basis. However, this review will be restricted to that of `JUBRIL`, and `ATIKULOOTER` for exigency purpose. The story of `Jubril` is so bad because it is an affront on the sensibilities and integrity of the citizenry as well as the image of the country. Ordinarily, one would have expected our leaders to jettison political, tribal, and religious affiliations and sentiments to join forces together to condemn such evil conception and put the records straight; but, the body languages, utterances, and in some cases, the silence of some of these leaders have made the situation to be more complicated. As a
result, those that are opposed to the present administration see it as a good storyline to destabilize and de-market the government and the ruling party without minding that the image of the country and the integrities of the citizenry are also in serious danger in the eyes of the global world. To the international communities, it will tacitly mean that our leaders and the people are not trustworthy and are capable of doing unimaginable things. The situation is further compounded by a purported death certificate and statements revolving around information that would make Nigerians to burn down Aso Rock within 24 hours; and, another that will expose what was cooked that led to the burning of the house. You will agree with me that such outbursts and the complete silence from some powerful quarters in the society have not help matters. Worst still, is the frightening google result of `A Minute Silence`. It is disheartening that the relevant governmental departments have not deemed it necessary to ensuring that the Google post is pulled down without any delay and or put a `disclaimer` or issue a `rejoinder`. Nigerians are human and they are not impervious to believing such information especially when it is not properly and tactically handled by the authorities that are expected to defuse and clarify same. It is also surprising that the so called Social Media Activists and Commentators have not been able to use their platforms to call out on GOOGLE to do the needful; rather, they are flooding internet with more campaigns of calumny such as the one tagged `Atikulooter`. To discerning minds, if the concept of `Atikulooter` is meant to discredit the presidential candidate of another party by opposing supporters; then, the proponents need to re-examine their brains because they are impliedly discrediting the present administration and the ruling party as well. Or how do one explain the fact that the so called looter was screened and cleared for the present ruling party`s primaries in 2014 and would have been the presidential candidate if he had succeeded. The same person was said to have immensely contributed financially and materially to the success of the party at the polls; and he was one of the respected elders in the party before his defection to another party. The
question is, when did he become a looter? If he has been one since his time in the ruling party; why was he accommodated and shielded from prosecution by the party and government whose cardinal focus is to kill corruption? If on the other hand, it was after he defected from the party; why has he not been prosecuted if there are overwhelming evidences to prove the facts in issue? Whichever ways you tend to look at it; it means the government and the ruling party are also culpable of being corrupt; not sincere with the anti corruption war; and, or not competent to fighting corruption. Be that as it may, a stone thrown at the `Supposedly Looter` is impliedly also thrown at the government and the ruling party. In this case, who is de-marketing who? The truth is that those behind that concept are indirectly bastardizing the image and integrity of the country and its citizenry to the world. Perturbingly, those who ought to know the negative implications of such campaign and put in efforts to dissuade and curtail its spread are the same elements that are neck deep in its propagation when the `SMEAR CAMPAIGN` seems to favour their political calculations. It is so sad that some of these people are being hailed and applauded for indulging in acts that are capable of spelling doom for the country; while the patriotic ones who stand for truth, unity and progress are seen as not having political values because their patriotic tendencies are not `SELLABLE` for election purposes. In view of the foregoing, it is obvious that regardless of whichever camp you belong; any campaign of calumny against the other is an indirect `DAMAGING PROPAGANDA` against the country and its citizenry. Therefore, this is a clarion call to the propagandist to desist from this time bomb waiting to explode and destroy our beloved country. The Information Ministry, National Orientation Agency, INEC, All Political Parties and their leaders, and relevant security agencies should step up their games towards ensuring that the menace is brought to a halt. It will be much more beneficial for all and sundry to embrace issues-based campaigns that are capable of finding lasting solutions to the country`s mountain of problems. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Editorial Commentary Iya Kabiru and other stories
Times Guest Columnist Reuben Abati
“Iya Kabiru must be the luckiest woman in Nigeria today” “Who is that? I don’t know anybody so-called” “You don’t know Iya Kabiru? But you know Baba Kabiru?” “Do they know me?” “This is the problem with you. You only think about you, you, you. I am sure when I tell you now who Baba Kabiru is, you will jump up and say you know him” “Look, just say what you want to say. I have too many things to worry about other than this your D.O. Fagunwa story about Iya Kabiru. Today is a busy day for me not a day for idle talk” “Hey, don’t get worked up, chill, my friend. Iya Kabiru is the wife of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, the comrade Governor of Osun State who is leaving office today after eight years in office. Kabiru is their first son. He got married last year. Many people who know the Governor call him Baba Kabiru.” “So, what has that got to do with all the serious issues of survival that Nigerians are worried about. You know you should be more responsible. You can’t go about gossiping about other people’s lives.” “I don’t gossip. I am trying to say something very serious. By the time I am done, even you will learn one or two things. Essentially, I am trying to review the eight years of Aregbesola as Governor in Osun State.” “I tried to follow his stories. The man says he did not collect salary as Governor, even though he ate government food, used government cars…Good for him. But as for me.. I don’t like the role he played in the last Gubernatorial elections in Osun State. He practically imposed his own successor on the people of Osun State. We can’t have outgoing Governors behaving like dictators and insisting that they will hold the future of the state in their palms. And to think he is a Comrade like Adams Oshiomhole.” “That is not what I am talking about. Osun state people are not protesting. I can’t come and be weeping more than the bereaved.” “I know. But I thought you wanted an assessment of Baba Kabiru’s eight years in office. So, let us do it, since today is effectively his last day in office” “Yes.” “For example, he says he has no bank accounts anywhere. He has no money and he has only the house that he built before he became Governor. He is happy that he was able to transform the lives of the people of Osun State.” “I don’t see how Aregbesola can leave politics. Politics in Lagos and Osun. He will still be busy.” “But with Iya Kabiru fully attended to. And by the way, Aregbesola should leave Lagos politics alone. He should stay in his own state of Osun.” “You are crazy. Did you drink anything this morning? Can we change this subject?” “On one condition” “What condition?” “You will congratulate Iya Kabiru” “Okay, congratulations Ma. Thank you for standing by Governor Aregbesola through thick and thin. One yeye man in Lagos says you are the one we should congratulate”. “Say it in Yoruba” “Iya Kabiru e ku oriire o. E ku ti ipadabo Baba Kabiru o.” “Only God knows how many women out there who have to deal with the challenge of having absentee husbands because their husbands are involved in the public arena. Such women are the true heroes of Nigerian democracy.” “You know when you say that, what comes to my mind really, is the plight of the wives of the many soldiers who were killed recently by Boko Haram terrorists in Matele, Borno State. It is one thing to have a husband go to the battle-field, if he is absent, you at least know where he is and that he is busy, but to have him die on the battle-field, never to return, that is tragic. I feel for the widows of the fallen soldiers of Matele..” “The government is obviously overwhelmed.” “What really can government do? Terrorism is the new tragic reality of the age. It is the worst form of inhumanity known to man. It leaves governments in a bind; it drives
society to the edge. It disrupts the order of values. “There is a lot that the Nigerian government can do.” “Please, this is not about politics. Don’t bring politics into this.” “Who is talking about politics? I am saying our soldiers need to be better equipped and better protected. When a man signs up to be a soldier, he knows that he has signed up to die for his country if need be, but that does not mean he must be served up like barbecue to the enemy. Why are our military bases so porous, so poorly defended? Why is it so easy for anyone to get a military uniform? When our soldiers fall at the battlefront, what are the protocols for informing their families and managing the communication process? We need to professionalize the Nigerian military. If we must rely on technical assistance from other countries, let us do so. When our soldiers die, there must be special grants for their widows and survivors, to be paid for life if possible.” “I will add another point. Any service chief that is not ready to focus on the job should be changed. Nigeria’s security chiefs should stop attending political rallies and meetings. We want soldiers in uniform, whoever wants to do politics should remove his uniform and wear agbada.” “Anyway, the President has said that the loopholes that led to the fatalities will be blocked once and for all. I take that to heart.” “Yeah, he spoke a whole week after the incident. I am surprised nobody is making an issue out of that.” “You never know. May be the President was busy at the time. And a President doesn’t just talk. He has to consult and be briefed.” “What is that? Busy doing what? Donald Trump talks every day. He is on twitter every morning, commenting on anything that catches his attention. He is involved.” “This is Nigeria. This is not the United States. We have our own way of doing things here, from the Presidency to the man on the street. The President could have been busy for example, preparing for the 2019 Presidential debate.” “Which debate? You think he will agree to participate in a debate?” “Why not? I will like to see him in the debating hall, taking on issues with the likes of Omoyele Sowore, Oby Ezekwesili, Kingsley Moghalu, Tope Fasua, Donald Duke, Obadaiah Mailafia and of course Waziri Atiku Abubakar. Let him defend the “Next level” and let Ezekwesili and Sowore take him on.” “I see you are not a nice man at all.” “How? There are things the President can and should talk about. You have been lamenting over the killing of soldiers, for example, but look at what the Federal Government has just done for policemen.” “And what is that?” “Yesterday, the President approved more pay for Nigerian policemen. He approved the Rank Salary Structure Adjustment for policemen” “No wonder” “No wonder what?” “There is this policeman that I know. I saw him and his wife yesterday evening. The two of them were laughing like jackass. I have never seen them look so happy. I thought something was wrong. So, it is the salary increase?” “Let’s just say policemen deserve to be happy too. But it is not enough to increase their pay. Nigeria is heavily under-policed. We need more policemen. Like the military, the police should also be better equipped. They need better training. Clean uniforms. Decent barracks. An average policeman should be a university graduate, not a primary school drop-out.” “Why are you saying policemen should be graduates, when most of your politicians don’t even have secondary school certificates? Sometimes, I don’t get you.” “I know what I am saying. Every policeman should be a college graduate. You don’t understand. It is a next level thing. Nigeria can only move to the next level if we all begin to think out of the box.” “Like your thoughts on Iya Kabiru eh”. “Ha. Iya Kabiru! A hero. Someday, she should tell her story: the story of the big sacrifice her husband made as Osun State Governor!”
OUR POSITION Medical brain drain and need to change the trend
T
he reported massive brain drain in the medical sector in recent years where many medical doctors are leaving Nigeria on a daily basis for greener pastures is now a source of concern to Nigerians. Incidentally, Nigerian doctors have been migrating to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi Arabia and many other nations across the globe. Though relevant medical agencies in Nigeria could not provide official data on emigrant doctors, statistics from General Medical Council (GMC) UK, as at July 2017 showed that over 4,765 Nigerian doctors are working in the UK. This is 1.7 per cent of the total of the UK’s medical workforce. The Association also revealed on Monday that over 80,000 registered medical doctors in its database but, regrettably, less than 50 percent of them currently practice in Nigeria. It also confirmed that no fewer than 12 Nigerian medical doctors leave Nigeria weekly for greener pastures in US, UK, Canada and other developed countries including African countries, due poor working conditions and other unhealthy labour practices in Nigeria. This trend has been having negative effects on the nation’s health sector. The major factors responsible for the unhealthy development are; poor remuneration, poor facilities and working condition, and job satisfaction. Many of our health professionals are over worked. A doctor is supposed to see a maximum of 20 patients a day but they are seeing about 150 in a day. Certainly by the time he gets to 50 patients, he is already exhausted. Even a nurse that is supposed to see about four patients has to take care of 50 patients in a ward. Certainly, he/she will get tired. The truth is that in Nigeria, the working environment for many doctors is very hostile. Many doctors see patients that they can treat or intervene on their issues die before them because the hospitals they are working in do not have the necessary equipment to take care of them. Also, the remuneration of doctors is very poor. If you go to other climes, what we are paying in Nigeria is just 10 per cent of what they collect and they respect doctors. It is instructive to note that we don’t have good funding maintenance for hospitals in the country. The few doctors that we have are over worked and are not appreciated. These reasons and others might not be unconnected to the ongoing brain drain in the country. We must know that relocation of one medical doctor from Nigeria affects over 5,000 citizens that could have benefitted from his or her medical expertise. The relocation automatically deny thousands of patients access to quality health care from a trusted medical practitioner. There are also indications that Africa loses $2 billion annually to medical tourism and medical brain drain while Nigeria contributes the larger percentage of the medical tourists. Nigeria is using her resources to train doctors and professionals that will leave to work in foreign countries. What are those things attracting these professionals outside? Can we duplicate them here?” We are of the opinion that government should provide adequate remuneration for our medical
doctors. Though we are not saying they should pay them so much, government should pay them for the job they are doing as and when due. We are also of the opinion that the Federal Government should make the National Insurance Scheme (NHIS) compulsory for all citizens. We believe that the development would provide enough funds to improve the conditions of service and working environment for health professionals. It is unfortunate that our medical doctors are leaving Nigeria because of poor conditions of service, working environment and after service package. The development indicates that the physician-patient ratio has worsened, maybe from 1:3,000 to 1:5,000. When you compare, those countries that have better physician-patient ratio have better treatment environment. If the the doctors know they will have a house after 20 years of training, the lure to leave Nigeria would be reduced. What are the benefits attached to the job? What are the provisions for the doctor’s family? What are the long-term prospects for the staff? We submit that government must improve the work environment in terms of financing, make it work-friendly and not crowding of 10 persons in one office. We must ensure electricity supply and avoid a situation where doctors come to work and scheduled to do a surgery but there is no electricity. We are of the opinion that there is the need for the country to be more drastic and re-organise the funding of health service. The government must adopt a more holistic approach to halt the dangerous trend of medical brain drain.

Ogoniland cleanup: Rights group rejects Short News alleged FG ‘s plan to deploy soldiers Nigeria Law School: 4779 called to bar, Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt
A pro-Ogoni group, operating under the aegis of Ken Saro Wiwa Associates (KSWA) has strongly condemned and rejected an alleged plan by the Minister of Environment, Alhaji Usman Jubril, to deploy 3,000 soldiers to Ogoniland for the cleanup exercise of the area. The position of the group was made known by its National Coordinator, Chief Gani Topba, in a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday. Chief Topba said that deploying soldiers to protect the area during the clean up exercise might lead to serious crisis in
Ogoniland. The National Coordinator said: “We are not in Iraq so we don’t need that kind of military presence for the project. Instead of deploying the military to Ogoni, the Minister should focus on the basic necessities for the people such as the provision of portable water. “You have not done that and you want to put in that kind of money in security and processes to the contract that have been awarded,” he cried out. Chief Topba also said that the process of awarding the contract for the Ogoni cleanup was an issue which, he claimed, had not been cleared up with the people of Ogoni. He asserted: “If the project is owned
by the people, the people will secure the project. What they are about to do is to find a way to invite crisis in Ogoniland so that they will take the whole money and run away.” He called on the federal government to immediately advise the Minister of Environment to drop the proposal. The Ken Saro Wiwa Associates is an international, non-violent organisation founded in 2013 by Kenule Bornale Saro Wiwa (jnr) and Chief Gani Topba to immortalise and protect human and peoples’ rights, the legacies of the late Ken Saro Wiwa, as well as to improve the environment as a valuable asset for the people of Ogoni, among other objectives.

Ekiti workers petition assembly over ex-Gov Fayose’s N264m largesse to labour leaders *NLC chair says it’s not true
Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Workers in Ekiti State have petitioned the House of Assembly Committee on Public Accounts demanding the probe of alleged monthly release of N6 million to labour leaders by former Governor Ayo Fayose for nearly four years. Acting under the aegis of Ekiti Workers Rescue Team (EWRT), they urged the Assembly panel to summon the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Chairman, Mr. Ade Adesanmi and his Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, Mr. Odunayo Adesoye, to explain how they spent the cash from 2015 to date which amounted to about N264 million. In the petition dated 23 November 2018 a copy of which was made available to our reporter on Tuesday, the EWRT claimed that N6 million monthly given to the labour leaders did not reflect in the union’s bank accounts. The EWRT regretted that “the wicked conspiracy and unholy alliance” between Fayose and the labour leaders accounted for why they could not fight for workers’ rights during the last administration. The group told the Assembly panel that this constituted a moral burden to the labour leaders, who instead of agitating for payment of arrears of salaries and allowances under Fayose, consistently commended him when
workers were dying. The petition which was addressed to the House Committee Chairman on Public Accounts, Hon. Gboyega Aribisogan, was signed by EWRT Chairman, Mr. Ojo Ayodeji and Secretary, Mr. W.A. Ajayi. Attached to the petition was the Auditor General’s Report for the year ended, 31 December 2017 which showed that the TUC received N1 million monthly and the NLC got N5 million monthly under Fayose as “running grants.” The Auditor General in the report recommended that “trade unions irrespective of their closeness to government should not be treated as government offices. “The unions are umbrella bodies for workers whose responsibilities are to see to the welfare of their members. Also, members pay dues for the running of their respective bodies. It is tolerable if such bodies enjoy occasional assistance when the need arises.” The petition read in part: “The huge sum had been released on monthly basis to these comrades without a corresponding deposit in the unions’ bank accounts. “The release was meant for just one purpose-to pay them back for supporting and cooperating with the government of Ayo Fayose to impoverish the workers of Ekiti State. “One would have scored the government that approved the release of this magnitude of public funds to industrial unions high and
termed her as workers friendly if the purpose is for the betterment of the entire workforce. “But in contrary, it was meant for sharing into individual pockets of about six people. There was no single record of physical projects embarked upon by these labour merchants for the period of about four years. “We are protesting and reporting officially to this highly esteemed committee to wade in by investigating and ensuring justice while the perpetrators refund the money to the last penny back to the coffers of Ekiti State for the betterment of the public in general and its workforce in particular.” Reacting, Adesanmi who said he has not received a copy of the petition denied collecting any largesse from the Fayose administration. Adesanmi said unionism is not under the jurisdiction of the House of Assembly arguing that any complaints against labour leaders are taken to the national secretariats of their unions. He added: “They (EWRT) are just chasing shadows, they are a group of former labour leaders who served out their terms and nobody chased them out of office. “They had raised several allegations including the claim that I received N15 million for my father’s burial. All what they are saying now is not true, not at all, not at all. “You can do your own findings from the Office of Establishment under which supervises labour matters.”

Senate defers confirmation of Olukoyede as EFCC scribe Tunde Opalana, Abuja
The Senate on Tuesday stepped down the confirmation of Mr. Olanipekun Olukoyede as the Secretary of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). A nominee of President Muhammadu Buhari, Olukoyede, an indigene of Ekiti State, who is the current Chief of Staff to the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, was nominated as Secretary to the Commission in a letter by Buhari, dated September 10, and addressed to the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki. The request for the President’s confirmation of Olukoyede was on October 3, referred to the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes, for screening and to report back to the Chamber for confirmation or otherwise. In his presentation, the Committee Chairman, Senator Chukwuka Utazi (PDP, Enugu North), said that during screening, Olukoyede demonstrated competence and sufficient experience to occupy the office for which he was nominated and was found worthy of confirmation. He said: “the nominee appeared before the Committee on Wednesday October 24, 2018. The members subjected to scrutiny the curriculum vitae of the nominee and other relevant documents relating to his background
and educational qualification, and the work experience of the nominee. “The Committee found that Olanipekun Olukoyede is a trained lawyer. He gave indepth responses to the questions asked by the members which we believe will add value to policy formulation and implementation in the EFCC. “The Committee is satisfied that the nominee has the requisite experience, integrity, professional competence and industry to discharge the functions of the position in which he is nominated. “The Committee also noted that there was no adverse security report against the nominee and the scrutiny carried out on the nominee shows that the nominee possesses the necessary academic and administrative experience for the position. “The Committee therefore, recommended that the Senate should confirm the appointment of Olukoyede to the office of the Secretary of EFCC”. However, Senator James Manager (PDP, Delta South) in his contribution observed that only few members of the Committee signed the report of the screening but noted that since the nominee satisfied the requisite experience and professional requirement, he should be confirmed. His word: “I observe that only few signatures appeared on the signature column. However, going through what the Chairman of the Committee has presented, and knowing full
well that this is not very normal time for the Senate, it will not be easy for a chairman of a Committee to have all the members to attend but however, from the number that appeared am sure that they formed quorum. “From the report of the Committee, since the nominee has the requisite experience and professional competence, that is what we are looking for in a nominee for the kind of office that we screen him for, I therefore, suggest that any other thing can be ignored so that we confirm the nominee”. Reacting to the issue of low turn out by members of the Committee during screening, Utazi pointed out that some of the senators were out of Abuja on oversight functions while others were engaged on electioneering activities but maintained that they formed quorum during the sitting where the nominee was screened. “This is uncertain times. Most of the Committee members are busy with activities of oversight, and some also are doing electioneering but we formed quorum. We gave the notice to everybody to attend. At the end of the day, the number of people that came formed quorum and we took decision on behalf of the Committee”. However, a member of the Committee, Senator Isa Misau (PDP, Bauchi Central), got up and vehemently opposed the confirmation of Olukoyede, alleging that most members of the Committee were not carried along in the screening exercise.

A’Ibom Assembly crisis: PDP indicts Sen Akpabio, decries attack Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has fingered former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio in the crisis leading to invasion of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. While condemning the violent invasion of the Assembly, the party accused security forces of complicity and allegedly working for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to forcefully take over the control of the legislature and destabilize the state. The PDP accused Akpabio, a former governor of the state, of stirring the violent invasion in keeping with his threats that “the APC will overrun Akwa-Ibom state the same way Adolf Hitler overran Poland during the Second World War”. National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan said “Nigerians are all aware of how Senator Akpabio declared war on AkwaIbom and boasted that “War shall see Warsaw and Warsaw shall see war” in the APC’s quest to take over the state; a mission that has apparently commenced with the violent invasion of the state legislative house.

EFCC denies receiving N10m donation from Kano govt Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday denied social media report that it received N10 million donation from Kano state government. The story about the purported donation trending in the social media was attributed to a statement credited to the media aide of the Kano State governor to the effect that the Commission got N10 million donation from the state government. EFCC in a statement signed by its Head, Media and Publicity, Tony Orilade said the story is not only falsehood, but a deliberate attempt to malign the efforts of the Commission in the fight
against corruption. For the records, it is a tradition that the EFCC does not receive donations from state governors/ government or any individual at that. The EFCC, as a reputable anti-graft agency is sponsored by federal government through budgetary allocation and in some cases, foreign organisations in terms of capacity building. It is true that the Commission, in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Crimes (ICPC), and the Athletic Federation of Nigeria, AFN and other stakeholders is organizing the first National Anti-Corruption Marathon. Mr. Jacob Onu, the leader of the National Anti-Corruption Marathon had in the course of his visit to the Commission a fortnight ago told the Acting Chairman and his management about
the marathon which he said is being planned in tandem with the International Anti-Corruption Day which usually comes up on December 9 every year. He said it was aimed at raising national consciousness on the scourge and danger of corruption to the country and the need for all and sundry to join hands to eradicate it. It is therefore very shocking to read of a purported donation of N10 million to the Commission. The story is not only unfounded but very mischievous, it said. For the avoidance of doubt, no State governor or some other individual or group has donated any amount of money to the EFCC to carry out the Anti-corruption Marathon project or any other project for that matter.

Moses Oyediran, Enugu Former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani and former governor of old Anambra state Dr. Jim Nwobodo, have vowed to resist attempt by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to impose erstwhile governor of the state, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani by proxy as candidate of the party for Enugu east senatorial district in the 2019 general election. Speaking during the official flag off of the campaign of the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for the district, Prince Lawrence Eze, in Enugu, Senator Nnamani, said the action of the PDP is a clear violation of the electoral act and nation’s constitution, and capable of sending those involved to prison.

EFCC arraigns ex-district Head for N15.9m land scam Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arraigned a former District Head of Unguwar Mu’azu, Aliyu Idris (Cika Soron Zazzau) before Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court, on a onecount charge bordering on obtaining by false pretence. Idris was alleged to have sometime in 2012 defrauded Yusuf Baban in a land scam involving N15, 900,000. Idris had deceived his victim into believing that he had the authority of Alhaji Shuaibu Kazaure to dispose of his landed property located at No. 3 Bye-
pass light industrial Estate Unguwan Mu’azu, Kaduna covered by Certificate of Occupancy No. KD 5653. According to Baban, he was informed by Idris that the land was for sale and goes for N17 million, out of which he had paid the sum of N15,900,000. After the payment, a sales agreement was written and duly signed by both parties. However, when Baban asked for the original documents of the land, Idris began to tell tales upon tales, which made Baban to suspect foul play. He thereafter, demanded for the refund of his money, but this was to no avail, prompting him to take his cry to the EFCC. The offence is contrary to Section 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and
Other Related Offences Act 2006 and Punishable under Section 1(3) of the Same Act. He pleaded “not guilty” to the charge. Prosecuting counsel, Esmond Garba, thereafter, urged the court to fix a date for commencement of trial. The defence team, however, made an oral application for bail. Justice Khobo entertained the application noting that the defendant was already on EFCC’s administrative bail. Idris was granted bail in the sum of N1 million with one surety in like sum. The surety must own a property within the jurisdiction of the court. The case was adjourned to 14th January, 2019 for commencement of trial.

FG promises to support Diaspora investors with credit facility Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Federal Government has assured the diaspora investors that it will support them with a credit facility to enable them to invest in different sectors of the economy, especially the agricultural sector of the economy. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbe made the pledge on Tuesday in Abuja during the maiden Diaspora Investment Summit organized by the Senior Assistant to the President on Diaspora, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa. Ogbe said that the Bank of Industry (BoI) will make the credit facility available to the investors in the agricultural sector at a low-interest rate, assuring that the facility will be ready within 90 days. According to him, the government is
working very hard to support investors with the necessary information on trade and investment, saying, they should liaise with the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council. Nigeria has great business opportunities which have not been tapped urging the investors to take advantage of the enormous investments potentials in the country, Ogbe stated. He added that the return on investment in Nigeria is one of the highest in the world. The minister explained that the reason Nigeria cannot create job was due to the effect of the World Bank programme - Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) introduced by the military administration of former President Ibrahim Babangida which he said will take Nigeria decades to recover from the setbacks.
Instead of promoting growth, he said, the SAP somewhat decelerated the growth of most economies in Africa and placed the continent in perpetual debt due to high-interest rate. Speaking further, Ogbe said that President Muhammadu Buhari administration has initiated good Programmes aimed at returning the country on the path of trajectory growth. Agriculture is the most viable sector you can invest because it has a high return on investment, for instance, you can invest in Castro oil production, farming, cattle and milk production, fisheries, and cashew nut processing. He, therefore, called on the diaspora investors to invest in the processing of raw materials into finished goods to create jobs for the teeming youth in the country. The minister revealed that the
federal government has ordered for four cashew processing plants at the cost of $1million each and will be installed in Enugu, Ondo and two other states at the end of the year 2018. He also promised to create a diaspora desk on agriculture for quick access to information and inquiries. Earlier, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola urged the diaspora investors to also invest in the energy and housing sectors of the economy. Fashola said that the present administration has done much on the area of housing saying that the government will continue with its intervention on road projects across the federation. Some of the participants called on the government to fix the road leading to the Apapa seaport to enhance business activities.
Aero Contractors boss seeks licensing, certification of ATSEP Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo A key player in the nation’s aviation industry has observed that recognition of licensing and certification Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) should be given utmost priority. Managing director /CEO of Aero Contractors, Captain Ado Sanusi disclosed in a paper he delivered at the 2018 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the National Association of Air Traffic Engineers (NAAE) in Lagos recently. In the paper, Sanusi emphasised that licensing of aviation professionals has considerably enhanced safety by
providing regulatory standards that guarantee the global application of the requirements of relevant ICAO guidelines – SARPs of Annex. He stated that It is commonly believed that such global requirements for issuance of a license for ATSEPs has contributed to the creation of standardised environment in competency domain resulting in the further enhancement of aviation safety In the paper titled “Aviation Safety: ATSEP Link” , Sanusi also pointed out that given that humans are at the centre of ATS systems, it will be appropriate that safety regulators have a tool at their disposal that will confirm that employees in all safety-critical functions within the system have the necessary competence and current
knowledge that required fulfilling their functions in a safe and efficient manner. According to Sanusi, attributing improvements in air navigation cum Aviation Safety to the emergence of better Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) equipment and maintenance standards is key because the Maintenance Standards aspect is almost wholly dependent on practices and work ethics of the ATSEP. He, therefore, maintained that the inevitable crystallization of ATSEP as a distinct occupation not only recognised by ICAO, but also by the International Labour Organisation (ILO); is an attestation to the enormous contributions ATSEPs have made to the overall progress of Aviation safety.
He said “Aircraft Traffic Management aspect of Aviation Safety which is more relevant to this forum has been propelled to a very great extent by the vastly improved professionalism of ATSEP group of aviation professionals who are the ones with the professional competence to manage all hardware and software required to provide Air Navigation Services in an ever-expanding technological era of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This importance, he said is further accentuated by the astronomic increase in global aviation traffic in the past century simultaneously with vast improvement in Aviation Safety which has continued to steadily improve year upon year.
Sustainable use of ocean will lift Africa out of poverty, says Dakuku Temitope Adebayo The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has said that development of the blue economy is a veritable strategy for advancing African economies and lifting the people out of poverty. Dakuku stated this in Nairobi, where he led a highpowered Nigerian delegation to the opening of the first global conference on the sustainable blue economy. Dakuku stated that it was high time Africans took advantage of the continent’s enormous maritime potential to develop their countries, explaining that climes without as many opportunities are making worthy use of the ocean economy and increasing the prosperity of their people. According to him, “It is common knowledge that among all the continents, Africa can be termed the biggest Island, and so if countries of the region can sustainably harness the blue economy it is sure that a large percentage of the poverty level in the continent of Africa would have been tackled.” The NIMASA DG, who is also Chairman of the Association of African Maritime Administrations (AAMA), delivered a statement of commitment on behalf of the association during the three-day conference, which is cosponsored by Nigeria. In it, he detailed the objectives of AAMA, the coordinating body for 38 African Maritime Administrations, to include improvement of the capacities of African maritime administrations, enhancement of member-states’ compliance with international maritime treaties, and coordination of programmes aimed at synchronising the ocean economy with other economic sectors. Dakuku stated, “All these objectives assigned to us by Africa Maritime Transport Charter put AAMA in a unique position to fully mobilise players in the maritime domain for optimisation of the potentials of Africa’s Blue Economy. “We have already taken some steps to realize these goals as set out in our various works and activities. In our past four conferences, we focused on the preservation and protection of the Marine Environment, and are committed to driving these beyond the Sustainable Blue Economy conference, for the simple reason that there cannot be actual sustainability irrespective of the economic benefits without consideration for the health of the Seas and Oceans. “The Blue Economy concept is perhaps the most significant sectoral shift that has the capacity to unleash the growth potential of our Continent. It is thus imperative that our approach to tapping the potentials of this new sector is coordinated and accelerated. “Finally, as a continental body, the Association of African Maritime Administrations (AAMA) is committed to working with African Union (AU) Commission and other institutions to deepen the attainment of the Blue Economy goals for the economic prosperity of our nations and the continent.”

Onyema charges cabin executives on top-notch customer service Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Air Peace boss, Mr. Allen Onyema has urged cabin crew members to deepen their customer service and crisis management skills to forge a better relationship between airlines and their passengers. Onyema made the call at the 2nd Cabin Crew Fair 2018 organised by MamaJ Aviation Consult Limited at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Annex, Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos Delivering the keynote address at Cabin Crew Fair with the theme: “Raising the Bar of the Cabin Crew Profession,” Onyema commended Nigerian cabin crew members for acquitting themselves creditably in their primary roles of ensuring the safety, security and comfort of air travellers. He, however, urged Nigerian cabin crew members to do much more in delivering top-notch customer service throughout their flights and learn to de-escalate crises before they degenerate. The Air Peace chairman, who was represented by the airline’s Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said cabin crew members were a critical link between an airline and its passengers. Where cabin crew members failed to provide good customer service, he warned, an airline would be negatively impacted no matter the quality of its flight services. He urged Nigerian cabin crew members to be proud of their origin and project the beautiful cultures of their country in everything they do, including their communication style. Onyema confirmed that Air Peace had provided employment for almost 300 cabin crew members, pledging to continue to provide opportunities for Nigerians to exhibit their skills and make the nation proud in the global aviation industry. He commended the Chief Executive Officer of MamaJ Aviation Consult Limited, Joy Ogbebo for working tirelessly to promote Nigerian cabin crew members and deepen standards in the profession in the country. Onyema urged cabin crew members to emulate the fine standards represented by Ogbebo. Meanwhile, Onyema and Air Peace Cabin Services Manager, Florence Opia have received MamaJ Aviation Consult Limited’s Outstanding Aviation Personality of the Year and Cabin Crew Excellence awards respectively. Chief Executive Officer of MamaJ Aviation Consult Limited, Joy Ogbebo said Onyema was honoured for immensely supporting the “development of the cabin crew profession and provision of job opportunities to the highest number of cabin crew members in the industry.” Opia, she added, was recognised for her role in “management training monitoring, mentoring and motivation of cabin crew members to meet safety standards and deliver excellent service.”

Afreximbank eyes $25bn in trade finance As IIATF 2018 exhibitor registrations exceed 1000 target
Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The African-Export Import Bank (Afreximbank) has disclosed that exhibitor registrations for the inaugural Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2018) taking place in Cairo in December has reached 1,054, surpassing the target of 1,000 exhibitors set by the organisers. The trade fair, which is being organized by Afreximbank in collaboration with the African Union Commission and hosted by Egypt, is scheduled to take place at the Egypt International Exhibition Center, Cairo, from 11 to 17 December 2018. Information released on Tuesday in Cairo by Afreximbank’s Director of Communications and Marketing, Mr Obi Emekekwue, showed that the registered exhibitors come from 41 countries and represent diverse sectors and industries, including agriculture, automotive, information and communication technology, construction, logistics, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, clothing and textiles, energy and power and entertainment.
According to Afreximbank, more than 70,000 visitors are expected at the IATF 2018, which will provide exhibitors a platform to showcase their goods and services to buyers and sellers and offer opportunities for business-to-business exchanges. The Trade Fair will also provide access to $25 billion in trade finance for deals concluded at the event. Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of the Afreximbank said, “We are encouraged by this resounding response and support received for the inaugural IATF, We are expecting international exhibitors and visitors from as far afield as China, Russia and Indonesia.’’ “With the overwhelming response to the trade fair, buyers and sellers will be spoilt for choice of the goods and services that will be on show over the seven days,” he stated, noting that exhibitors would be bringing the best that their countries had to offer. Running alongside the trade fair will be the IATF 2018 Conference, which will address issues relating to trade facilitation, infrastructure and payments.
The conference will identify key trade facilitation challenges, including standards, customs and transport-related non-tariff barriers that are affecting Intra-African trade and will explore practical ways of collaboration to address them. The conference will also showcase intra-African trade value-chains and opportunities for developing and deepening them. As part of the trade fair implementation, Afreximbank has launched a Virtual Trade Fair (VTF) to provide continuity after the biennial IATF. Businesses that register on the VTF can exhibit their goods and services to a global audience of buyers and market players and to IATF participants. The VTF allows traders to conduct business-to-business deals, exchange market information and explore business relationships in African and global value chains during and after the IATF without necessarily being at the trade fair. The Africa Trade Policy Centre; Afrochampions Initiative; International Trade Centre; and Pan-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry are partnering in the trade fair.
FG pledges to unlock potential of ICT for economic productivity Motolani Oseni The Federal Government has pledged to leverage on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to increase economic productivity in the country.

Ezekwesili laments increasing violence against Nigerian women The increasing rate of violence against women in Nigeria is alarming and worrisome, the presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, has said. In a statement on Tuesday to commemorate the #ViolenceAgainstWomenDay, the presidential candidate regretted that despite the hardship confronted by women in Nigeria, they were subjected to violence. According to her, the case of violence against women has worsened in Nigeria to the extent that it now starts from childhood. She said, “Nigeria women are going through the toughest challenge in the world. The recent takeover of Nigeria as the world headquarters of corruption justifies that Nigerian women are facing disappointing moments. A situation where women are molested, beaten, and harassed is not acceptable and should be condemned by all. “Instead of the government of the day to work on eradicating violence against women, it is busy passing the bulk. The situation of women is now so bad that they have become preys in the hands of terrorists and negotiating tools of the Federal Government. Ezekwesili “Everyday, I wake up to feel the pains of females who are born into families dominated with violence, assured them of equal representation in her cabinet if where their fathers and mothers cannot make ends she emerged as president. meet, and where they are exposed to the brutal beating Lamenting the continuous detention of girls by of their mothers by fathers.” Boko Haram terrorists, Ezekwesili added, “Each time Ezekwesili, who urged Nigeria women not to lose I remember that some of our beloved daughters and hope, appealed to them to stand up for their rights as mothers are still with the terrorists, I feel extremely the 2019 election draws nearer. sad and uncomfortable that our government has failed She cautioned them against being deceived by us by prioritising politics and power beyond security candidates who had failed them in the past, and of lives.”
CACOL backs calls for probe of local government funds’ diversion The Centre for AntiCorruption and Open Leadership (CACOL), has joined the calls for the probe of diversion of local government funds by various state state governments through the operation of the joint account by the two tiers of government. CACOL in a release signed by its Coordinator, Media and Publications, Adegboyega Otunuga, on behalf of the Executive Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran, noted that “A major reason why majority of Nigerians still groan under this democratic dispensation is primarily because governance is hardly felt at the local government level. “In all the 774 official local government authorities (LGAs) in the country, hardly could one see up to 20 LGAs that function so effectively in the provision of basic amenities of relief areas, like efficient cleaning of drainages and gutters, maintenance of neighbourhood markets, efficient refuse disposal mechanism, etc. as you would expect in any modern and responsible society. And yet, local government administrative unit is supposed to bring governance closer to the people. “Though the argument that in any true federation, the
federating units are usually Federal Government and the component states, regions and territories, may not be far from the truth, the fact remains that local governments are also a creation of the constitution for ease of governance and accessibility to the people through the grassroots approach. “In our own case, the 774 local government authorities were a creation of the successive military governments, which many believe, was done to suit a particular region and invariably smacks of lopsidedness and favouritism. “This has consequently made many to insist that states should be allowed to create their own local government areas and jurisdictions according to their own convenience and affordability. The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, for clarity sake, would not wish to dabble into the paucity or otherwise of this argument as every society is always an adjunct of its own reality in terms of existential reality and social evolution. “We are, however, much concerned that of all the 36 states in the country, only nine (9) states have adhered to the 2017 National Assembly bill that forbids states turning local government areas in
their jurisdiction into their mere appendages and rubberstamps through direct control of their finances. This practice, we believe, does not augur well for delivery of democratic dividends at this level of governance and has done more harm to this civil rule than good.” The CACOL Boss added, “As much as we agree that past experiences of a local government Councilor earning more than a University Professor or an LGA Chairman embezzling billions of Naira to the detriment of their constituencies, should never be reverted to, we align with the clarion call that a workable and popular template must be evolved to make grassroots governance effective in a way that teachers and other service workers would not be unduly shortchanged. “This should be in line with global best practices as obtained in other model federations, worldwide. We therefore, call on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and the Presidency, to immediately set machinery in motion towards probe of local government funds diversion and bring the culprits to book without further ado.”

Metele Attack: Buhari group accuses PDP, Atiku of ‘dancing on our heroes’ graves’ Stories by Patrick Okohue The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has berated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for what it described as their scant regard for human lives, and for playing politics with the death of Nigerian soldiers in battle. The group in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke said that since the unfortunate attack on Metele village in the North East a few days ago, the opposition party and its candidate had been using every opportunity to celebrate the situation. BMO said “We are at a loss as to why opposition elements have been milking the tragic deaths of national heroes so much so that the international media took notice with different castigating headlines which should have made these people retrace their steps. “In a bid to discredit the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, PDP posted gory pictures of dead soldiers from elsewhere and few days later, Atiku offered scholarships to the children of slain soldiers. “The former Vice President’s move came at a time the military authorities had not even completed the standard practice of identifying soldiers killed in action or even notifying their next of kin.” It noted that the inhumane act amounted to dancing on the graves of those who paid the supreme price to ensure that the PDP Presidential candidate could conveniently invite his friends to celebrate his American
Atiku Abubakar
University of Nigeria Founder’s Day last weekend. “He and his media handlers have forgotten how in 2014, he lamented at a press conference that a handful of Boko Haram fighters had successfully invaded and hoisted the caliphate flag in Mubi, a town with a population of about 300,000 as well as Michika and Gulak after they had over-ran Bama a town nearly 400 kilometres from Yola. “This gave rise to thousands of displaced persons in Adamawa, and not once did the former Vice President announce relief support for IDPs or scholarships for children of soldiers that died liberating his state. “The height of Atiku and his party’s insensitivity is the fact that they are still busy issuing statements critical of the military leadership twenty four hours after Air Force jets crossed into a neighbouring country to launch airstrikes on the base of the terrorists who carried out the Metele attack, based on actionable intelligence. “They didn’t even acknowledge that over 200 foreign terrorists were killed and some of their armoured vehicles destroyed in the air raids”. BMO noted that Nigerians would not forget in a hurry how PDP allowed the insurgency to fester for years during which no fewer than 16 local government areas in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states were fully controlled by the insurgents. “We make bold to say that if the $2billion set aside for arms purchase in 2015 were not shared to PDP members through the office of the National Security Adviser, no one would be talking about the capacity of Boko Haram or ISWAP in 2018,”it added.

Lagos will continue to promote enterprise education for devt – Adebule Stories: Esther Taiwo The Deputy Governor, Lagos State, Dr. (Mrs.) Idiat Adebule, has said that the state has resolved to promote enterprise education, create wealth as well as job opportunities to Lagos youths through technical education. According to her, entrepreneurship plays an influential role in the economic growth and standard of living of the country and that is why the state created Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment with significant attention on building technical skills and entrepreneurial capacity of Lagos youths. She disclosed this at the 5th Lagos State Enterprise Day organised by the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board themed: “Entrepreneurship and Wealth Creation for Economies, Organisation and People” held in the state recently. Adebule, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Deputy Governor’s office, Mrs. Yetunde Odejayi, also added that the state made sure the curriculum for entrepreneurship education in the technical colleges in the state are all-encompassing in developing the spirit and culture of entrepreneurship in students. “The methods and pedagogies for teaching and learning entrepreneurship is quite different from that of conventional subjects such as mathematics,
English and other subjects that is the reason, recently fifty instructors in the five Government Technical Colleges participated in a one week entrepreneurship development programme facilitated by Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, to help prepare them for entrepreneurship education.” Pointing out that getting involved in entrepreneurship at young age is something that impacts the lives of young people in a way that not many other activities do, she said it improves communication skills, decision making and goal setting abilities of youths for national development. “With this in the mind of the current administration, gave birth to the Young Entrepreneurs Club, formed three years ago in tandem with our government’s efforts to increase the supply of young and knowledgeable entrepreneurs with the motto “Do not search but create a job yourself,” she disclosed. Adebule however called for support of the private sector to partner with the state government to nurture the innovative and entrepreneurial ideas by the youths because the vibrancy and tenacity of these youths in incubating business ides depend on their support. Earlier in her remarks, the Executive Secretary of LASTVEB, Mrs. Omolara Erogbogbo, assured the gathering of the state’s commitment to continue to place significant emphasis on the young people and as a result, “the board has implemented several
programmes to support our youths.” She urged young people at the event to become true entrepreneurs and to bring forward new ideas and innovative solutions to technological development of the state and the nation at large. “The world is constantly changing with new opportunities emerging all the time and the true entrepreneur will make use of them that is why the state government has approved three more technical colleges in line with the vision of technological development,” she said. The keynote speaker, Registrar, Association of Corporate Governance Professionals of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Mosaku-Johnson, said the problem with entrepreneur development in the state is not creating wealth or business but the issue of sustainability. He urged budding entrepreneurs to remain focus and be disciplined because according to him this is only way they can sustain their businesses and finances. The registrar also called on the government at all levels to emulate Lagos State by creating an enabling environment for small scale businesses to strive and this he said will help the economy of the country. Other speakers included Mrs. Fayo Williams, Mr. Ademola Adeoye and one of the alumnus of Government Technical College, Agindingbi, Mr. Oluwafemi Salami. Over 500 participants were at the event.
Developing leaders, our core vision, says CEO Olashore Int’l School The Chief Executive Officer/Principal of Olashore International School, Iloko Ijesha in Osun State, Mr. D.K Smith, has disclosed that developing leaders is one of the Founder’s vision and has since been put into consideration in order to produce future leaders in character and in learning. He said this at the press briefing held at the School’s Liaison Office, Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, as part of activities marking its 25th Anniversary where he unveiled a new logo of the School. The School which was founded on February 18th 1994 and has since then produced successful alumni. The logo had the School’s original logo that represents royalty and beneath is an inscription that describes Olashore as a school that develops leaders. “Fulfilling the founder’s vision, developing leaders, is what motivates all staff and students at Olashore International School and this passion is rewarded when we see the success of students who have progressed to universities within Nigeria and abroad”, he said. He said one key focus of the school is that their students can go anywhere around the world and do well thus representing the school well.
“What we are doing is not just passing exams but all round success. After 25 years, we are looking for people who have passed through the school and yet become outstanding in their chosen career. For instance, amongst lots of our Alumni that are doing well are Mr. Obinna Okwodu, who bagged the award of the Most Promising Entrepreneur by Forbes, Mr. Bode Olanipekun, who is the Nigerian’s Youngest SAN, amongst others. Our First Head Girl, went to the University in 1999 and graduated with good grades, today she is the First Female Operations Manager for Nestle Nigeria Plc. We pride ourselves in all round success, beyond the classroom. Similarly, the Chairman Board of Trustees, Prince Abimbola Olashore, stated that the school was borne out of necessity to give children the best education, and he is glad that academic excellence and all-round success beyond the classroom has been the Olashore story for the past 25 years. He pointed out that in the phase of recession in 2016, the school was able to survive due to certain factors put in place. “We are always prepared to meet the needs of students and meet the expectations of parents, and this the reason in the phase of recession, we demonstrated value for
money, we were mindful of what stakeholders were going through in order to adjust, we absorbed certain cost structure rather than passed down to students’ fees, invested significantly in our environment, retained the confidence of parents, intensified marketing abroad and expanded the scope of scholarship for existing parents in order to make the school fees affordable. These helped us scale through the recession successfully. Here we are celebrating the school’s 25th Anniversary in spite of the ups and downs.” He further explained that “what a child will become in life is determined by the character of how he or she exudes between the ages of 10 and 16. So if things are done right and the right values impacted in the child, it is most likely that the child will do well in life because these core values will help them as they go through life. This is the reason we lay claim to the success of alumni whenever they succeed anywhere around the world”. Olashore International School has a mission to get committed to academic excellence, nurture each child to their full potentials in a safe and serene environment, develop leaders for the dynamic global society in the 21st century, which they have all portrayed in the past 25 years.
A former President of the Republic of Malawi, Dr. (Mrs.) Joyce Banda, has said that Africa would be able to tackle its socio-political and economic development challenges if majority of leaders on the continent had the will to fight corruption. Dr. Banda, the Special Guest of Honour and Keynote Speaker, had at the opening session of the 4th Covenant-International Conference on African Development Issues (C-ICADI 2018), said only a handful of African leaders were imbued with the character to take on corruption headlong as majority of the leaders merely paid lip service to the issue of fighting corruption. “What Africa needs are inclusive governments and honest leaders to fight corruption. As a former President, I know what it is to fight corruption; when you fight corruption, corruption fights back. Because some of these people have stolen so much, they fight back with the money. So, Africa needs to identify potential leaders to be motivated,” Dr. Banda explained. While speaking on the theme of the conference, ‘The Challenge of Leadership: Driving Africa’s Future’, the Keynote Speaker, who noted that the objective of the conference resonates with her own life experience, said the ability to lead a nation required wisdom, education and vision. She revealed that the result of a research conducted by her as a Fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, confirmed the long-held belief that all leaders were born with 30% leadership traits while the other 70% was acquired overtime. Dr. Banda said myriad of challenges in Africa had prevented many people from fulfilling their leadership potentials, however, a significant picture of Africa had started to emerge in the last two decades. “By my observation, in addition to political reform, Africa’s economy is becoming diversified in the health, financial, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors among others,” she stated. Africa, she posited, needed leaders with innovative strategies to spark development. She stated further that governments of African countries needed to leverage on their immense resources, explore agriculture, invest in education, intensify their efforts in trade and investment, the political will to drive economic governance, and to grow and expand private investment. Earlier, while delivering his welcome remarks at the event, the Chancellor and Chairman, Board of Regents, Covenant, Dr. David O. Oyedepo, said the purpose of C-ICADI was to gather thinkers together to forge a way forward for Africa. He recalled that the three previous editions of C-ICADI had failed to produce tangible results despite the involvement of some of the world’s great personalities, for instance, two Nobel Laureates. “Africans are known for great and excellent presentations that had not led to anything. It’s time to think, take stock and think through. The greatest challenge of Africa, which has been presented many times, is leadership,” he stated. The Chancellor, who noted that the African Leadership Development Centre (ALDC), venue of the C-ICADI, was established to address issues bordering on leadership, said rebranding Africa through C-ICADI had become imperative. He added that there was the need for the rise of thinkers in Africa to help think the continent’s way through as no system could ever outgrow the knowledgeability of its leader. According to the Chairperson of the 4th C-ICADI, Ms. Cecilia Akintomide, leadership was one of those concepts that could not be missed when present, and when absent or abused, the results were unmistakable, with far reaching consequences. The Independent Non-Executive Director of First Bank Holdings pointed out that leadership was relational and situational, and given that leadership was situational, it was important that leadership programmes be developed that were suited to the African environment and the challenges faced by people on the continent. While highlighting the power of a leader, Ms. Akintomide said a leader has the capacity to galvanise others to action towards bringing about a desired change or achieving a common goal, a leader produces other leaders, a leader leads the follower, while followers follow but know when to raise a red flag and/or stop following.

CAFCC: Enugu Rangers gun for super start against Ethiopia’s Defense Force SC
Enugu Rangers said they hope to get off to a great start at home in the 2019 CAF Confederation Cup when they welcome Ethiopia’s Defense Force SC tomorrow. “With little knowledge of our opponents, we are condemned to play our game and get the needed result that will make the return leg inconsequential,” said Rangers coach Gbenga Ogunbote. “I call on our teaming supporters to come out in their numbers and cheer us to a good
win.” Former Super Eagles winger Felix Ogbuke added: “We expect nothing but total victory in our match against Defence Force of Ethiopia. “With the hard work and determination shown in training, it can only end in total victory. With our strong belief in the ‘Never Say Die’ spirit, we shall make our fans happy.” Rangers opponents, who are expected in Enugu today are the winners of Ethiopia’s
cup competition and champion-ofchampions after a 4-2 penalty shoot win over league champions Jimma Aba Jifar F.C after a 1-1 full time score despite playing with a man down for sixty-five minutes just a day before the ‘Asaba Miracle’ in Nigeria. With names like Abel Mamo, Yidnekachew Kidane and Jemal Tassew, coach Seyoum Kebede has a capable team to earn some respectable result just as he will be banking on the quartet of Tewodros Bekele, Samuel Taye, Maraki Worku and
g23
Minyilu Wondimu to sparkle in midfield and attack. The visitors, who are better known as ‘Toru’ by their fans back home, are currently placed sixth in the Ethiopian top league after a 2-1 road win over Debub Police. The encounter will be handled by referee Ali Moussa Mohammed from Niger with three of his countrymen on the trip for the game that is fixed to kick off at 16.00 hours (4:00PM) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, better known as ‘The Cathedral’.
Super Falcons hit 2018 AWCON final
Super Falcons tonight in Accra remained on course for a ninth AWCON crown when they defeated spirited Cameroon 4-2 on penalties after 120 minutes of action failed to produce any goals. Nigeria have thus advanced to next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, while Cameroon will have to slug it out for third place to also book their flight to the Mundial. The Indomitable
Lionesses of Cameroon with their patient buildup and attractive passing game bossed the ball possession and carved out the better chances in front of goal. Nigeria, on the other hand, struggled in front of goal despite the quality of players like Asisat Oshoala, Desire Oparanozie and Francisca Ordega. Such was the frustration of the ineffective strike force that coach Thomas Dennerby had to haul
off both Oparanozie and Ordega in regulation time. Cameroon’s undoing was that they did not have the cutting edge inside the Falcons box and even when it seemed they had bridged the champions defence, goalkeeper Tochukwu Oluehi was safe and steady to keep them out. And it will be Oluehi who again kept out Cameroon’s decisive penalty to send Nigeria through to the final of this year’s AWCON.
Gernot Rohr: Mikel Obi not retired, working on his fitness Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has revealed that influential midfielder John Obi Mikel has not retired from international football and will let the German tactician know when he is fit to return to the Super Eagles. Mikel has not appeared for Nigeria since the end of their 2018 World Cup campaign in Russia, missing four 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers through September, October and November. The Chinese-based player has struggled with injuries in recent months and seemingly fallen by the wayside for his country, with the likes of Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho given playing time in Mikel’s preferred number 10 role. However, Rohr recently stated that the
former Chelsea player remains a part of his plans – once he can get over his injuries and return to fitness. “The situation with Mikel is that after the World Cup, he wanted to take a little break from the national team,” Rohr said at a media event. “And the other time we were in touch, he told me, ‘honestly I’m not fit. But when I’ll be fit, I‘ll let you know’. “He was injured in the last games of his club, so he could not come. We will see what happens in the future.” Nigeria will return to 2019 AFCON qualifying action in March when they face the Seychelles at home. The Super Eagles have already secured a berth at the finals in Cameroon.
Mikel Obi floats football talent hunting programme for African youths Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has floated a football talent fishing programme, that he styles Africa’s Next Football Superstar. The programme, which is for kids across Africa is the initiative of the football star’s Mikel Obi Foundation. African kids aged between 12 and 16 will participate.
The event will take place in Nigeria, South Africa and Algeria, with each country holding three different trials in three cities. In Nigeria, the trials will take place in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. Each country will have five winners, with the 15 reduced to nine players, who will be given an opportunity to
have trials with a top English club. Mikel, the former Chelsea midfielder, who now plays in the Chinese Super League, said having tasted life on the streets, he wanted to use the project to take kids off the streets and help them realise their dreams as world-class footballers. “I’m so grateful to be the captain of the Nigerian football team, so this is for me now to give back to the kids. This is why the Mikel Obi Foundation and Africa’s Next Football Superstar, we want to make sure we help kids achieve their goals to become the next superstars”, he said. Mikel has hit the road to get heavyweight endorsement for the project. On Monday, he visited the former governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to get his support. Tinubu gave his endorsement, without hesitation. “To hear of your programme, through your foundation to help the kids to achieve their talents in football is commendable. I will commit myself to supporting you in any way you seek. We regard you as a family member of this house. I support initiatives like yours in art, culture, music and other areas. So, I will commit myself to this, for you to even inspire the nation more. I’m proud of you,” Tinubu stated.
Gernot Rohr concerned over Leon Balogun’s lack of game time at Brighton Leon Balogun’s lack of game time at Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League is a source of worry to Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr. Balogun has had game time hard to come by featuring in only two of Brighton Hove Albion’s first 13 games this season. Rohr’s concerns merely echo sentiments he often expresses about his key players who don’t feature regularly at their respective clubs. “On Leon Balogun, we will insist all the time on our player playing regularly because its the same for other players,” Rohr said. We have some other players like Moses Simon who is not playing at the moment, while others are injured. “We tell them sometimes that it’s better to play in smaller club than to go to a big club in the Premier League and you don’t
play. It’s difficult, but we have discussed this in our conversation especially with Balogun. “We have this communication in my mother language so it’s easier. We will try to help him in the right way. It’s not about the salary he can get. Of course, it’s a good one I believe, but he has to play. “He’s 30 now which means that if he’s not playing, it will be more difficult for him to be fit. “We will speak with these players who have this problem. And when the January transfer window opens we will see. “Like we did last year with Ahmed Musa. Musa went back to CSKA Moscow. He had contacts with him while he was at Leicester City where he didn’t play. “He was blocked there and he returned on loan to Moscow. I even went there to see him train. It was a sacrifice for him to have a new beginning at the World Cup. “We will have good communication with our players but cannot do transfers for them. We can only speak with coaches about them and how they can be good for their team.” OGOLO UDOJI I FORMERLY KNOWN AND ADDRESSED AS UDOJI SUNDAY NOW WISH TO BE KNOWN AND ADDRESSED AS OGOLO UDOJI SAMUEL.ALL FORMER DOCUMENTS REMAIN VALID,GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
