By Alade Tasma, Lagos The Lagos State House of Assembly is set to impeach the State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode over what the House termed as Gross misconducts by the Governor regarding the 2019 budget of the state.

The House through an ad hoc committee headed by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon. Wasiu Danni Eshinlokun, accused the executive arm of government of incurring expenditure in the fiscal year while the budget is yet to be laid before the House of Assembly.

Eshinlokun disclosed that the State Attorney General has informed the committee that Continued on page 3

Lagos Assembly on war path with Gov Ambode, Deputy Continued from page 1 the executive arm is empowered to spend at least 25% of the budget proposal presented to the House.

Reacting to the submission, the lawmakers faulted the AG’s submission, insisting that the 2019 budget is yet to be laid before the House, therefore, any expenses incurred in line of the budget is illegal and amounted to gross misconducts on the part of the executive headed by the Governor.

Recall that Governor Ambode sent the 2019 budget to the office of the Clerk of the House as correspondence onward to the lawmakers. Even though the letter which contained the budget was dated 7th of December, it was received in the office of the Clerk of the 28th December, three days before the end of 2018 when the lawmakers have already gone on festive break. This, according to the lawmakers, is against the constitutional provisions and tradition of laying the budget before the House.

The Deputy Speaker disclosed that the committee met with relevant commissioners and heads of agencies.

According to Eshinlokun, the committee met with the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Hon. Segun Banjo, who said that no money had been spent for the year but when it (the committee) met with the Accountant General, he told the committee that warrant had been issued that they could spend up to 25% of the preceding budget before the approval of that of the new year but only have to make a recourse to the House if they wanted to spend up to N200 million.

“We pointed out that the Governor ought to lay the budget of the New Year before December 31st, but that so far the budget was yet to be laid as at today, January 23, 2019.

“We asked them to bring out the law that allows them to spend up to 25% of the budget of the preceding year. They could not bring out such law and we said what they did was wrong.

“We discovered that people have started receiving alerts and this has a grave implication to the executive.

“It is our finding that for smooth running of government, there must be a strict adherent to the constitution and it must not be violated.

“We decided to bring the report before the lawmakers for us to take action,” Eshinlokun concluded.

Commenting, a member of the ad hoc committee, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, revealed that the Committee on Budget discovered during budget appropriation review that there were some specific expenditure in the budget that ought to have been approved by the House over which funds were expended.

Yishawu, who is representing Eti-Osa cobstituency 02, maintained that the actions of the executive were misnomers, and that they noticed variation in the expenditure and budget approved.

“We had issues of virement and monies being spent without approval.

“We had cases of items that were not budgeted for being carried out, it shows the executive rewrite the budget at will.

“The Constitution states that the State House of Assembly must approve all expenditures,” the lawmaker submitted, adding that “things are shutting down, things

are being slowed down by the government”.

Yishawu noted that it was the executive was tired and that the people were complaining.

“It is as if nothing is happening in the state now. Breach of the constitution and gross misconduct are being committed here, and the punishment is clear.

“We should begin an impeachment process of need be if the executive does not retrace their steps,” Yishawu concluded.

Yishawu position was corroborated by Hon. Tunde Braimoh, who said that the manner of revelation was of serious concern.

Braimoh, who said they all swore to uphold the tenets of the constitution of Nigeria, went ahead and quoted Sections 120 and 121of the 1999 constitution which defined the roles of each arm of government when it comes to financial expenditure.

“If we continue like this, it means we are moving on the way of destruction. The issue of gross misconduct should be closely looked into and necessary sanctions applied,” Braimoh concluded.

Hon. Bisi Yusuf on his part, refreshed the House the brief profile of the Governor in the service of the state, and pointed out that the Governor is an accountant, and that he was an Acting Auditor General in 2001 and was confirmed in 2005.

“With his level of exposure, he cannot claim ignorance. He is being surrounded by intellectuals, so they ought to have advised him including the Deputy Governor and the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning.

“The Attorney General ought to have been removed for quoting a law that does not exist.

“All those who were given the Governor bad advice should be removed.

“In the whole of Lagos, things have shut down. This is an offence that is not pardonable. I want to say this is an impeachable offence for the Governor and the commissioners,” Yussuf stated.

The 34 members presented at Monday plenary, however, took turn to comment on the issue. Their comments and contributions as follows: Hon. Rotimi Olowo: Rewriting of the Budget is an impeachable offence. Government in the State has been shut down and our roads are in a sorry state. There must be continuity of projects in the budget and this is not followed.

Borrowing without informing the House is impeachable. IPP is being owed. If the Governor is tired, he should resign.

Hon. Moshood Oshun: When you apply for a job, and you are given, if you are tired, you can leave. If the Governor is tired, he should go. The budget is a law, when we pass a budget, they rewrite their own. What they say is that they are above the law. If you go to Alausa today, all the MDAs are shut down. All their files are with the Governor and he did not work on them.

Hon. Richard Kasunmu: This is a non-compliance with the rule of law. The state is about to be totally shut down, so we should checkmate the situation. If the Governor is tired, he should throw in the towel. We cannot keep on standstill because some people are tired.

Hon. Rasheed Makinde: Three years down the lane, the executive cannot tell the people of Lagos that they don’t know what

they are doing. It is obvious that the Governor is tired, so they should all go. They even made a mistake in the letter they wrote to the House.

Lagos State used to present it’s budget before others even before the Federal Government. They ought to work based on the budget or they come for reordering. All government agencies have been rendered useless, civil servants are sleeping in their offices. The State House of Assembly must approve the budget. We must pass a vote of no confidence on the Attorney General, Commissioners for Budget, Finance, the Governor and the Deputy Governor.

Hon. Yinka Ogundimu: The Governor has always been disobeying our motions. They refused to follow our motions on the environment, which is why everywhere is dirty. If you look at the various projects not provided for in the budget that are being done, then it is breach of the constitution.

The people concerned should resign before we invoke the aspect of the constitution that gives us power to remove them from office. We should make it clear that there have been warnings from us.

Hon. Sola Giwa: This is a matter of constitutionality and it is about the law. We all swore to uphold the law. If you breach the law, there is a consequence and the best is for the House to begin an impeachment process on the Governor.

Hon. Victor Akande: There is no need for virement according to the constitution. I don’t think there is any budget before the House. The constitution states that the budget must be laid and it is a gross misconduct. So, we should do the needful.

Hon. Fatai Mojeed: We received the money from Paris Fund and other funds, the executive did not take permission before they spent the money.

Hon. Jude Idimogu: The government is not moving forward. Our party is the APC and we are doing well. The government is not putting us in the light and we have the opposition that are watching us. No budget has been laid before the House. The key members such as Attorney General, Commissioners for Finance and Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning. The needful is impeachment.

Hon. Noheem Raheem: I support the fact that they should resign if they are tired.

Hon. Fatai Oluwa: This is a deliberate attempt by the Governor not to bring the budget before the House. He is surrounded by erudite lawyers that ought to have advised him. Public Works, LAWMA, IPP are not working. If it would be necessary to sign and send him out of office it is okay.

Hon. Oladele Adekanye: It is clear that there are infractions and impeachable offence committed. The defences of the commissioners are not tenable.

Hon. Sabur Olayiwola: There have been abuse of the constitution and disobedient to the constitution. Spending without making a recourse to the assembly is an impeachable offence. The best thing is to show him that we are representing our people and that we are not here for fun. The best thing is to let them know that we mean business. The Permanent Secretary/ Accountant General that is talking about 25% spending should be brought to book.

Expectations as NJC decides Onnoghen‘s fate today Andrew Orulua, Doosuur Iwambe, and Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Public expectations of the decision the National Judicial Council (NJC) will arrive at during today’s meeting on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, has heightened tension in the country, particularly the judicial arm of government.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Tayo Oyetibo, SAN, in a statement, on Monday, noted that all eyes are on the Council not only from Nigeria but also from the international community.

The senior lawyer, who raised four major issues for the NJC to consider whether in the face of the serious allegations of infraction of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, Justice Onnoghen should continue to sit over cases that come to the Supreme Court which might include cases involving violation of the Code of Conduct.

“Was the conduct of the various Judges who took turn in issuing Ex Parte injunctions to stop the proceedings of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, at the instance of strangers to the proceedings, in accord with the provisions of Rule 2(2) of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers which require that a judicial officer must avoid the abuse of the power of issuing interim injunctions, Ex Parte?

“Was the conduct of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal in purporting to issue on, 23rd January, 2019, an Ex Parte order for the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, after having adjourned the proceedings on 22nd January, 2019 to 28th January, 2019 in accord with the provisions of Rule 2(2) already set out above and Rule 2 (5)(i) of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers which requires the Judge to hear the other side before making such an order? We recall here the ABN days of 1993 when “black market” injunctions were being procured from various courts. The tragedy of the case at hand is that the impugned order was obtained by the Federal Government.

“Was it right for his Lordship, the honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad to have presented himself to the President to be sworn in as Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria to supplant the incumbent Chief Justice of Nigeria, when it was clear from the provisions of section 292(1) and paragraph 21(b) of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution and decided cases that only the NJC has constitutional power to exercise disciplinary control over the Chief Justice of Nigeria? In dealing with this particular issue, the NJC should bear in mind the precedents of the 2006 Ekiti State Judiciary episode and the recent Abia State Judiciary incident”.

The statement added that the NJC in dealing with these issues should be proactive and

not be inhibited by the dilatory provisions of the Judicial Discipline Regulations 2017.

According to the statement, unless these issues are exhaustively and completely dealt with and resolved one way or the other, the festering fire of the crisis is not likely to be completely quenched.

“As for the Ruling Party, it is worrisome that the leading lights of progressive politics who presently find themselves in that Political Party have done nothing to caution the President on the tyrannical act of suspending the Chief Justice of Nigeria in derogation of the provisions of the Constitution.

“It is axiomatic that those in the Ruling Party who keep quiet in the face of tyrannical governance will sooner than later realise their error of silence when they begin to have their faces bespattered with the same tyrannical paint brush of humiliation”, the statement added.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Senate had earlier on Monday filed a case at the Supreme Court, seeking its interpretation on whether President Muhammadu Buhari acted within the provision of the constitution in his suspension of Justice Onnoghen.

The Senate also wants the apex court to decide whether the action of the President does amount to usurpation of the powers of the Senate as provided for in Section 292 of the constitution.

“Following the filing of the case, the matter of the suspension of the CJN which is the main issue for which the Senate had planned to reconvene tomorrow (today) has become subjudiced.

“Therefore, in line with the standing rules of the Senate not to debate issues that are already pending before the court, the reconvening of the Senate tomorrow (today) has been put off. The previous adjournment of the Senate till February 19, 2019 stays.

Also, the Nigerian Bar Association rising from her emergency NEC meeting on Monday, resolved to embark on a two-day warning boycott of courts sessions throughout the country over the suspension of Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, by President Buhari.

NBA NEC meeting, which witnessed protest from hundreds of lawyers and some civil society groups, said the warning boycott of courts nationwide will begin today (Tuesday).

Protesters for, against Onnoghen’s suspension storm Abuja Meanwhile, as issues surrounding President Muhammadu Buhari’s suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of the Federation rages, different groups supporting Federal Government’s decision and those condemning the action

Onnoghen locked down the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Monday.

One of the groups, made up of hundreds of lawyers and members of National Interest Defenders, Lawyers in Defence of Democracy and other human rights group activists on Monday in Abuja protested the unconstitutional suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The activists converged at the headquarters of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) demanding among other things that the lawyers association arise in defense of democracy.

They also urged justices and judges of courts across the country to shut down courts in solidarity with the CJN. Addressing protesters, the convener, National Interest Defenders, Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere, alleged that “President Muhammadu Buhari relied on and used a forged and fictitious tribunal order to suspend Justice Onnoghen.

“Nigerians will recall that the petition served on the Code of Conduct Bureau against the Chief Justice of Nigeria was received by the Bureau on January 9. The purported Tribunal order on which the President claimed he relied upon was also dated the same January 9.

“The Motion on Notice seeking the same prayers as the purported Motion Exparte was dated January 10, the charge filed was dated January 10 while the statement of the Chief Justice of Nigeria in answer to the petition was on January 11”, he stated.

He added that from the above dates, it appeared that upon receipt of the petition, the first action of the Bureau was to file a Motion Exparte, asking the Chief Justice to vacate office while Justice Tanko Mohammed be sworn in even before commencement of investigation into the matter, before the Chief Justice was

approached to make a statement and even before charges were filed against him.

In view of the above, the group accused President Buhari of violating the Constitution which he swore to uphold.

“This is an act that amounts to gross misconduct and it most certainly warrants his removal of office.

“The National Assembly should as a matter of urgency, national importance and patriotism, commence without any delay the impeachment process of the President.

“We also call on the Nigerian Bar Association and the National Judicial Council NJC to decide whether the impunity should be allowed to stand.

“The NJC and NBA must order the shutdown of the courts until the illegal suspension of the CJN is lifted and the impostor CJN justice Tanko Mohammed made to vacate the office.

“The NJC must expel Justice Tanko Mohammed from the bench for accepting an illegal appointment in violation of the constitution and the NJC rules of engagement.

“The NBA must direct lawyers to boycott the Code of Conduct Tribunal presided over by Danladi Umar until disciplinary action is served on Umar for issuing a fake order that paved the way for impunity.”

“The National Assembly should also immediately commence action for the removal from office of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Mr. Danladi Umar, who, having criminal charges against him, still sits in office and dumped Nigeria in a state of constitutional hiatus.”

At the Embassy of the United States in Abuja, Civil society activists staged a protest condemning the suspension which was described as unilateral, dictatorial and unconstitutional.

They called on Nigerians to

rise up against the unjust and unconstitutional action of the President.

The protest was disrupted by another group of people in support of President Buhari’s action.

The group supporting President Buhari’s decision began their protest from the Unity Fountain, Abuja and stormed the entrance of the National Assembly where they prevented workers, visitors and those that came to transact business from gaining entrance.

Though under the aegis of National Youth Council of Nigeria, FCT Chapter, the protesters obviously rented illiterates and semi- illiterates from the FCT hinterland displayed placards with various inscriptions backing President Buhari’s suspension of the CJN. The various inscriptions include “Justice is blind to status, to position. It must prevail”, “CJN Must Go”, “No one is above the law”, “PMB’s action is for rebirth of a new Nigeria”, among others.

Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, FCT chapter, Suleiman Ango, said youths of the country are tired of corruption in every sphere of Nigeria’s life.

He said: “We are here to support the suspension of Justice Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria and we want to categorically say that President Buhari’s action was lawful and followed due process.

“We were all in Nigeria when Justice Ayo Salami was removed from office. Are we not in this country when the current Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was suspended as Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria?”

He vowed that the protesters will prevent the National Assembly from holding an emergency sitting today to discuss the CJN issue.

“We will ensure that the sitting of the Senate and by extension the National Assembly tomorrow (today) will not hold.

“Saraki’s plan to intimidate the Executive with a purported impeachment move will not be possible”.

Ango said all anti- corruption agencies of this administration like the Code of Conduct Tribunal and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be allowed to do their work without interference from politicians.

The chairman said the protest was against the decision of the National Assembly to hold an emergency plenary to commence planned impeachment process of President Buhari.

“Mr. President followed due process in suspending the CJN because the law says ant judge found guilty of corrupt practices must be made to face trial.

The group called on Justice Onnoghen to take the part of honour to step down lending the probe of allegations against him by the CCT.

Buhari challenges African leaders on oil, gas infrastructure devt President Muhammadu Buhari has called on African leaders to support whatever will help drive infrastructure development in the oil and gas sector in the region.

Buhari gave the advice at the opening ceremony of the second edition of the Nigerian International Petroleum Summit (NIPS) in Abuja on Monday.

The Theme of the summit was “Shaping the Future through Efficiency and Innovation.’’

The President, represented by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, said that infrastructure development in the sector would help to boost various economies in the continent.

“The theme of this particular conference is one, Africa, two collaboration, three futuristic. The sheer fact of collaboration in Africa is something that should be of concern for African leaders.

“In the last three days, delegation from African countries, represented by some of their minister here, were here to attend African Petroleum Producers Organisation (APPO) exraordinary meeting.

“That meeting was dedicated to finalising the prototypes of reforms we want to bring into APPO. According to him, the meeting came up with the idea of expanding the role of the financial body – “African Energy Investment Corporation”.

President Buhari said that the idea was to mobilise about two billion dollars to begin to fund all the essentials that were necessary for proper collaboration in Africa.

He said that it was

unfortunate that most African countries were operating in silos in building pipelines and gas plants, among others.

“If we are able to extend the hands of infrastructural development in Africa, build pipelines, joint plants, refineries and begin to protect African market, we would have taken a huge step not only for Africa, but stabilisation of independence of African countries,’’ he said.

He said that APPO had signed a resolution on major projects and would soon commence implementation.

The president said that Africa had no option than to focus on what needed to be done to secure the future of the region.

He said that Africa was still faced with the challenge of Shale, oil pricing, investment limitation and so many others.

“When you look at the opportunity side, so much are going on like Egina project by Total Nigeria, Shell is getting ready for Bonga, Agip is working right now with Zabazaba, that is all in Nigeria.

“But all over Africa, discoveries are abound and suddenly, we find out that opportunities are coming with huge challenges, challenges relating to production.

“You cannot produce oil like before, people have to check the environmental impact of what they do, host community challenges are not just becoming just vociferous, but militant in nature,’’ he said.

He said the means of getting finances were also getting tighter, adding that most emerging economies finding oil were also faced with huge challenges.

Buhari Buhari said that unless polices, market place, collaborative mechanism and infrastructure, the continent would continue to be faced with huge challenges.

He said that independent producers were contributing 12 per cent of the nation’s production, but needed to be improved to 30 per cent.

“We need to create models that would encourage them to invest their money, seek resources and refinances,’’ he said.

The President said that there was the need to harness human capabilities in the country for the benefit of the continent.

Dr. Maikanti Baru, the Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), said that summit was a veritable platform to discuss African challenges, “This is a good platform to share ideas that will help African economies and move

the continent forward,’’ he said.

According to him, issues on infrastructure, transparency and regulatory framework remain the focus in the drive for collaboration in the region.

He said that Nigeria and Morroco had signed an MOU on gas pipeline which would connect about 15 countries and even serve gas demand of the Europe.

“The feasibility study has been concluded, the pre-Final Investment Destination (FID) is ongoing. When concluded, it will help to boost industrialisation which will take Africa to the next level.

“Africa needs to collaborate and trade with each other, he said.

Baru urged participants to actively participate for greater result that would bring about growth and development in the oil and gas sector and the continent at large.

Conflicting judgements, our impediment, says INEC Says it inhibits smooth functioning of the Commission Acting CJN asks judges to handle election petitions without influence

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof.

Mahmood Yakubu, has expressed concern on issue of conflicting judgments arising from pre-election and postelection cases as impediment to the smooth functioning of the Commission.

Yakubu said that conflicting judgments, especially by courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction at the High Court level, are putting the Commission in a very difficult position and creating uncertainty in the process.

Represented by National Commissioner, Mrs. May Abamuche Mbu, at a two-day workshop organised for justices and judges to be engaged in election petitions after the 2019 polls held Monday at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja, he said there is urgent need by the judiciary to avoid conflicting judgments.

“Conflicting court orders are negatively affecting the

consistency, neutrality, and public perception, not only of the Commission, but the Judiciary as well.

“There is therefore the urgent need to address the issue of conflicting judgments in order to engender certainty in the electoral process.

“Our second area of concern relates to the lack of consequential Orders by the Courts after making findings on an issue and stating the position.

“In such cases, the Commission is compelled to take a position relying on previous decisions of the Court on the subject.

“This as in some cases made the Commission appear inconsistent and has also led to protracted litigation.’’

Yakubu said that the workshop was important as it would afford INEC a platform to further record its concerns about the adjudication of electoral disputes as the country approach the 2019 General Elections.

Declaring the workshop open, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Muhammed Tanko,

urged judges to handle election petitions without any external pressure or influence either by political parties, stakeholders or economic interest groups.

Tanko, represented by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, said that it was important that the judiciary must maintain absolute independence.

“Judges should handle election petitions without any external pressure or influence either by political parties, stakeholders or economic interest groups.

“The Judiciary must continue to take steps to ensure that it is not seen as being partisan but must always demonstrate manifest integrity in its adjudicatory processes.

“Consequently, Judicial Officers serving on election petition tribunals, must note that Judgments must not be ambiguous and should be devoid of any form of external influence.

“Your Lordships should shun unnecessary associations with lawyers who may be acting as conduits for politicians no matter how innocent they may be

portrayed.

“You must guard your integrity and the integrity of the Judiciary, by avoiding acts that will bring you under the disciplinary jurisdiction of the National Judicial Council (NJC).

“The NJC will not hesitate to wield the big stick sanctions to any judicial officer who is found wanting in the discharge his duties,’’ he said.

Tanko said that the judiciary must not be drawn into blackhole of political expediency as Judges were not willing tools to be exploited by the whims and caprices of Politicians.

He urged Justices and Judges to refrain from granting frivolous injunctions, remain impartial and most importantly, shun any form of inducement while carrying out their mandates.

He promised that the Judiciary “will continue to do its best to ensure Judicial Officers remain conversant with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), and other relevant laws towards ensuring efficiency and uniformity in the quality of judicial decisions.’’

Lagos Assembly on war path with Gov Ambode, Deputy Continued from page 3

Hon. Akeem Shokunle: The financial misconduct of the Governor is obvious and we should begin an impeachment process.

Hon. Mosunmola Sangodara: The situation is an unfortunate one. Section 121 of the Constitution states the the appropriation bill should be laid before the House and this has not been done. It is an abuse of office and an undued influence by the Governor. We can start an impeachment process and pass a vote of no confidence on some of the members of the executive.

Hon. Funmilayo Tejuosho: We are the voice of the people of Lagos State and we perform oversight functions to ensure that the Government do the best for the people. Accountability is not being done here. Section 121 made it clear that the appropriation bill should be laid before the house. Section 122 states that if that has been done, you can now spend 25% of the budget estimate for a period of six months.

We need to forward the infractions to the Governor. The tax payers should know what their money is being spent on.

Hon. Setonji David The infractions are too grave, there is a problem and we need to do what is right. The government must be held responsible for their actions.

Hon. Akeem Bello: The Governor and his Deputy should tender their resignation letter.

Hon. Dayo Saka-Fafunmi: I am sad over the revelations by what the Deputy Speaker reads and during out interactions with the executive. The business of governance is not based on sentiments, it ia based on law. Section 120 of the Constitution that talks about the public fund is very important. Public fund does not belong to any of us, it belongs to the people of Lagos State.

Section 120 subsection 2 States that no money should be withdrawn from the accounts of the states unless it is approved by the House.

All the violations amount to gross misconduct. Section 188 subsection defines gross misconduct. We strongly believe that essential services that ought to be met are missing in the state. I am in line with the statement and decisions of the members that if the executive members are not ready for governance, they should resign or should be impeached.

Hon. Mojisola Miranda: The constitution is clear that there is punishment for any offence.

Hon. Dayo Famakinwa I want to support my colleagues that the offences are impeachable and we should activate the process immediately.

Hon. Saka Solaja: “A budget is financial instrument that analyses and interprets the financial expenditure. Since 1999, Lagos State has always been presenting its budget as at when due, but that has not been done.

The financial regulations and the constitution have been breached.

We should start a process of impeachment immediately.

Hon. Folajinmi Mohammed: “There is a vagrant abuse of the constitution, which is an impeachable offence.

Hon. Lanre Ogunyemi: “It is an issue of flagrant disobedient to the constitution. A review of a previous year’s budget is a precursor to the approval of the new budget. A review of the 2018 budget shows poor performance. MDAs complained of inability to access their funds. All these infractions should be communicated to the Governor for his reaction and if he fails to do so, the House can begin a process of

impeachment.

Hon. Omotayo Oduntan “Today is a sad day. The executive just moved money from one ministry to another without recourse to the Assembly. When all these happen, it shows a total disregard to the budget being passed by the House.

We should get across to the Governor to explain himself or else we should begin an impeachment process.

Hon. Sanai Agunbiade: “There are three arms of government of which the executive is one. Our government is still running and not shut down. What we want to do is to ensure that the infractions from one arm of government does not affect another. It is clear that the budget has not been presented before the House. My colleagues have addressed all the issues. We should let the public know that we do not have the budget before the House.

Three suggestions we made, that the Commissioners, who were approved by the House and are working with the Governor should have vote of no confidence passed on them. They have failed in their responsibilities.

“The next is for the Governor to resign or we should begin an impeachment process against the Governor. We can communicate to him to reign or failure to do that is for us to start collecting signatures of lawmakers so that we can be seeing to have done our job.

Hon. Rotimi Abiru: I want to adopt what has been done without wasting much time.

There have been some infractions on the part of the Governor and the position of the law is clear.

Hon. Wahab Jimoh: I saw this coming like an ocean surge. The Attorney General wrote the House to withdraw the private member bills before the House. I had been noticing that there would be crisis.

Speaking on the issue, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, however, told the lawmakers that it was important to give the Governor a fair hearing over the issue involving the Governor and the 2019 Budget.

He affirmed that there have been violation of the constitution and infractions on the part of the Governor.

“The Attorney General, Finance Commissioner and Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning that ought to have advised the Governor did not do so.

“The most important thing is that we should let the people know that a budget that was yet to be approved was being spent, which was why we could not attend to the Governor on the budget on Monday 21, January.

“We must give them a fair hearing to come and explain what happened.

“The point has been made that there must be something before the House before you can commence expenditure. We want to call on the Governor to come within a week to explain himself along with the Governor.

“We can start gathering signatures for impeachment or we can exercise patience and wait till another time, the Speaker concluded.

Members of the ad hoc Committee includes Chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts (State), Hon. Moshood Oshun, Chairman, House Committee on Budget and Economic Planning, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, Chairman, House Committee on the Environment, Hon. Dayo Saka-Fafunmi and the Chairman, House Committee on Works and Infrastructure, Hon. Abiodun Tobun.

Anti-graft war: Magu seeks collaboration with Nigerians in Diaspora Assures them of safety investment

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has called on Nigerians in the Diaspora to collaborate with the anti-graft agency in order to form an International oriented united front against corruption.

According to Magu, doing so is the only way Nigeria will progress in its quest for economic development, political stability and social justice.

Magu was speaking as a guest speaker at the Nigerian American Business Forum, an international networking event for top industry executives and entrepreneurs in Tampa, Florida, United States, which held on January 26 and 27, 2019.

“Considering that Nigeria has one of the most resilient, hardworking, intelligent and resourceful people in the Diaspora, in every field of human endeavour, it would be very tragic if we failed to tap this immense potential,” he said.

In a presentation titled, “Entrepreneurship in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities”, Magu who was represented by the EFCC’s Director of Planning, Policy and Statistics, Dr. Ibrahim Gusau, commended Nigerians in the Diaspora, for giving back to their Fatherland, noting that “it is on record that Nigerians in the Diaspora have remitted an average $22 billion annually in the last two years.

“This represents one of the highest

remittals in the world, by Diasporas to their home country, and so undoubtedly, you have a vital role to play in helping in this great fight against corruption,” he said.

According to him, “there is the need for everyone to not only talk of corruption, but earnestly talk about anti-corruption and participate in actions that will mitigate corrupt practices such as engaging in whistle blowing or proffering solutions and applications that can help to prevent or avoid, or even totally eradicate corruption”.

He used the opportunity to charge Nigerians in the Diaspora to partner with the EFCC in designing successful templates that will help in addressing “our efficiencies, ineffectiveness, and other issues that affect our general productive systems”.

“This partnership will specifically aim at addressing major issues in Nigeria such as corruption,” he said, adding that, “business leaders in Nigeria and the Diaspora need to address and possibly initiate effective ways on how best to overcome these problems for Nigeria to grow and thrive”.

In a bid to further assure foreign investors who want to invest in Nigeria of the safety of their investments, Magu stressed that the EFCC had put in place mechanism to “protect” them, as its efforts have ensured sanity in the business sector.

He said: “In July 2018, the EFCC received a petition on behalf of some European Development Finance Institutions based

in Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Netherlands, which engaged in businesses of promoting sustainable development in developing countries and emerging economies, including Nigeria.

“As at June 20, 2018 they were supposed to have received $9,502,200.10, €3,430,107.55 and N1,374,793,675 as returns on their investment as agreed, but there was no sign of getting such returns, hence, the investors became apprehensive and petitioned the Aquila Leasing Limited and its affiliated companies to the EFCC. “I am delighted to share with you that the EFCC went into action and thus far, more than N2 billion has been recovered and more will soon be realized until every kobo has been recovered.”

Magu, however, challenged them not to indulge in any form of corrupt practices, nor aid those who are adept at looting the treasury of the Nigeria, and stashing them abroad through illegitimate fronting companies.

“The ripple effects of our action or inaction today, will come to bear, not just on our children, but generations yet unborn,” he said.

The Forum had in attendance members of the Nigerian business community in the United States, Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Diaspora and Foreign Affairs, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa and Director General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Prof Moji Adeyeye amongst others.

Agbakoba petitions NJC over acting CJN misconduct Peter Fowoyo, Lagos

Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba SAN, on Monday petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC), over gross misconduct of Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed.

President Muhammadu Buhari, had on Friday in a nationwide broadcast suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, and immediately swore in Justice Mohammed in acting capacity.

In the petition dated January 28 and addressed to the National Judicial Council, Agbakoba urged the NJC to remove the acting CJN and as Justice of the Supreme Court in line with the decision in Justice Obisike Orji on ground of gross

misconduct.

The petition reads in part: “On 25th of January 2019 President Mohammadu Buhari pursuant to an exparte order of the Code of the Conduct Tribunal purportedly suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghnen and purportedly swore in Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.

“The Constitution is clear about the procedure for suspending or removing the Chief Justice of Nigeria. The Chief Justice of Nigeria can only be removed on the recommendation of the NJC. SeeSection 153 (1), Paragraph 21 (a) of the 3rd Schedule and Section 292 (1) (a) (i) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999and the Supreme Court decisioninElelu-Habeeb v AGF (2012) 40 WRN 1.

“Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed is fully aware of the state of law, yet presented himself to be sworn in by the President.

Incidentally, Justice Tanko Mohammed was a member of the NJC panel that removed JusticeObisike Orji of the Abia state High Court for accepting to be sworn in as Chief Judge by the Governor of Abia state without the recommendation of the NJC.It is a matter of regret that Justice Tanko Mohammed who participated in this process will lend himself to this constitutional infraction.

“That we pray the NJC determine this petition in line with the decision in Justice Obisike Orji by immediately removing Justice Tanko Mohammed as Justice of the Supreme Court on grounds of gross misconduct by allowing himself to be sworn in by the President of Nigeria, without the recommendation of the NJC.”

Buhari wants to head all 3 arms of Govt -Secondus Tunde Opalana, Abuja The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is desirous of heading all the three arms of government and turn a full blown dictator.

Prince Secondus told jubilant party supporters at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Monday that President Buhari called himself a converted democrat, yet his ambition was to be Chief Justice, Senate President and the Speaker of the House.

The National Chairman who led the PDP Presidential Campaign Council and the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his team to Akwa Ibom State, said that the country is distressed and going through most difficult time under Buhari’s watch.

According to him, President Buhari so far has become a huge threat to democracy and national cohesion.

Secondus said “the President wants to be everything, so that he can jail whoever he wants, if he fails to reverse the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, something will happen, God will reverse it”.

He lamented the situation in the country at the moment, saying it is precarious and the world is aware that All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Buhari want to destroy the country but we can no longer keep quiet.

He said that PDP is Akwa Ibom 100%, warning that anybody trying to play God will be brought down by God, adding, ‘You rig election in Akwa Ibom, you rig your head’.

The Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, also told the colourful mammoth crowd that the in-coming PDP Presidency will restore and make this economy work again.

He said that his Presidency will create jobs and combine with other good heads in the country in the area of economy like the Akwa Ibom State Governor Emmanuel Udom to put the country in the right path again.

LASG, FAAN and MMIA access road

Cosmas Okereafor

The pronouncement by the Lagos State Government recently that the access road to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), currently under construction will be completed by the first quarter of 2019, jolted many if not all aviation stakeholders, particularly the Federal Airport Authority (FAAN), the owner of the access road, if you permit me.

Since the construction began, FAAN, the landlord of 22 airports across the country has remained on top of its game, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery at the gateway. The completion of the ten lane access road from all indication will automatically catapult the foremost airport into another class, and indeed put a stop to the commentaries such as‘’the road to one of the busiest airport in Nigeria is a death trap’’.

The current Management of FAAN under Engr. Saleh Dunoma, all these years the access road was in bad condition together with his Management team ensured that challenges of harassing unsuspecting passengers within and outside the terminal building, under whatever guise did not occur. This was achieved by putting the security arm of the authority AVSEC, at red alert, thereby ensuring that, those who do not have business at the airport at anytime are kept in abeyance.

This measure interestingly is also supported by other security personnel from other agencies equally stationed at various entrance gate of the airport.

The heavy presence of uniformed men at the airports tells any intruder that it is no longer business as usual, given the security challenge some parts of the

country are grappling with.

Also the regular cutting of grasses along the access road and within the airport environment further reveals how determined the authority is, in ridding off undesirable elements who may want to hide in the area at night to harass passengers and workers alike.

It is on record that since FAAN got the prestigious United State’s Federal Aviation Administration category one re-certification in 2015, it has being one laudable achievement after the other.

That the present Management has remained focused on its quest to making all the airports in the country a place of comfort for the travelling public and various stakeholders, all year round cannot be over emphasized.

The vision of the authority to be among the best 50 airports group in the world in many ways has continued to yield fruits. This was justified not too long ago, when it was announced by the Airport Council International (ACI), that Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja had been chosen as the best improved airport in safety, a key recipe from all indication for aviation management and development.

The award Certificate accordingly was officially presented to FAAN in far away Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, the venue of Airport Council International (ACI), General Assembly meeting held on October, 2018. Not too long from that time, the authority also successfully hosted the 59th Airport Council International Africa Regional Conference and Exhibitions to the commendation of every one that participated.

The designation of FAAN’S training

School to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)/Airport Council International (ACI), training Centre almost the same period further attests to the unassuming achievement of the authority.

With these landmark achievements and many more in the offing, FAAN as always may have positioned for adequate service delivery in the new year and thereafter.

Meanwhile, over 500 Aviation Security and Airports Rescue and Fire fighting Officers who were recruited sometimes in the past to address perennial shortage of manpower and ageing workforce have also undergone key operational training locally and internationally especially officers from Aviation Security, Fire and Safety Departments, a measure the authority says was necessary to enhance operational efficiency which is key in the whole gamut of aviation operations.

Facility upgrade at Kaduna Airport interestingly resulted to the elevation of the Airport to Category 9 (CAT), and t Bhus for stakeholders was a remarkable achievement and has lead to weekly international flight operations of wide body aircraft in, and out of kaduna airport that once served as alternate airport to Abuja, during the hay days of runway resurfacing.

The linking of Abuja Airport also to the railway line according to the authority was a major boost to economic activities and as such has continued to attract commendation of consumers of aviation services who now connect easily with the terminal building without much delays The migration to a brand new

independent power supply following the acquisition of six Brand New Industrial Generators with capacity of 29.1MVA already put into full use also speaks volume, given that this move ultimately has addressed the issue of power challenge occasionally experienced at the premier gateway.

These monumental achievements has equally strengthened cargo airports due to the installation modern equipment, targeted all the same to boost agro-allied businesses and this was in addition with the installation and commissioning of brand New caroussels at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), purely meant to speed up baggage facilitation as well as to advance passenger comfort in the process.

While the authority remains upbeat on its primary assignment of promoting seamless air transport business in Nigeria, it must be said also that FAAN’s management under Engr Saleh Dunoma abinitio has continued to engage on positive discussion with Public Private Partnership (PPP), investors, an approach he believes would snowball and inject new ideas, necessary for modern airport management The legion of achievements currently billowing across the airports in the country for stakeholders and consumers of aviation services alike are attestation to the appreciation of the fact that Management of the Authority, apart from taking the industry to the next level has equally entrenched safety consciousness and thereby succeeded in creating environment where aviation operations are carried out in line with global best standard practices.

Ezekwesili’s and Galadima’s ACPN as a Metaphor for APC and PDP

Fisayo Soyombo

Until President Muhammadu Buhari infamously showed up on Friday to ‘remove’ Walter Onnoghen as chief justice of Nigeria (CJN) through the backdoor, an alternate party was on the verge of providing us the biggest talking point of an entire week — for the first time in a long time. Onnoghen’s suspension has no place in any democracy. Let’s not lie about it: the CJN — he still is — has a terrible case to answer. He has himself unwittingly admitted guilt, and senior lawyers whose opinions I trust have impugned his credibility in private. But even this doesn’t legitimise Onnoghen’s suspension in accordance with a privately-announced ex parte order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), less than a day to the inauguration of the 2019 election petition tribunal members, and while notable past and current members of the Buhari administration already indicted for corruption or sundry breaches of the law dating back to 2018, have not been charged to court. To the neutrals, it is such bad news that the spotlight was so insanely snatched from the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), but this sentiment won’t be shared by Oby Ezekwesili, the fiery activist on whose account this party has gained considerable popularity among the elite. As expected, Ezekwesili was one of the first Nigerians to censure Buhari for the manner of Onnoghen’s removal, but perhaps deep down in her mind, she wouldn’t have minded any reprieve from the implosion of her party three weeks to the presidential election.

Followers of Nigerian politics must have been shocked to wake up on

Thursday to the ‘breaking news’ of Ezekwesili’s sudden withdrawal from the presidential race. Of the many candidates considered as potential options to ending the stranglehold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) on power, there are three who were never going to step down. One is Kingsley Moghalu — because he is a technocrat, and technocrats usually arrive at a race with their big egos, knowing they have answers, both practicable and illusory, to every question on the nation’s afflictions. The other two are Ezekwesili and Omoyele Sowore — because they’re activists. By nature, activists are idealistic people. They’re on a permanent search for perfection that rarely exists; sometimes — just once in a blue moon — they succeed.

But most times, they don’t. They are usually so consumed by their passion for a just and prosperous society that they focus on the end rather than the means to it; they usually concentrate all their attention on the prize, not the price. And that’s the one, perhaps only, 2019-election foible from which Ezekwesili cannot extricate herself.

It explains the ridiculousness of claims by Ganiyu Galadima, national chairman of the ACPN and Ezekwesili’s then running mate, that she never wanted to be president but was only using the presidential ticket as bargaining chip for the post of finance minister. Anyone who has followed Ezekwesili’s activism for a while should know that this can’t be true, neither can allegations of receiving millions of undeclared campaign funds in hard currency. Since leaving

office as minister of education in April 2007, Ezekwesili is privately known to have turned down ministerial offers from two presidents. She also has a track record of donating to charity, all funds accruing to her by virtue of her BringBackOurGirls activism.

Ezekwesili is a philanthropist. Not just that, her philanthropy predates her political ambition. But this is hardly public knowledge because of her policy is to give without announcing it. Surely, Ezekwesili is not the kind of person to divert campaign funds. But all these don’t make her infallible, like every other human.

For instance, her exit was announced as solely motivated by the need to “focus on helping to build a veritable coalition to ensure a viable alternative to the #APCPDP in the forthcoming elections”. But that is not the full story. We didn’t know this before; but after Galadima’s press conference that ultimately culminated in the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second-term bid, we now know that ACPN had indeed imploded. We probably will never know the whole story, but we will know a bit more when Ezekwesili addresses her ‘world press conference’ later this week. Seeing how Galadima literally crawled to Ezekwesili in October 2018 to beg her to accept the party’s presidential ticket, and how he is suddenly emboldened to publicly ditch her for Buhari, there is no doubt that this has been a marriage of strange bedfellows.

There is no doubt that the original protagonists of ACPN are ideologically empty. Otherwise, there is no way a

party that placed fourth in the 2015 presidential election and until last week prosecuted its campaign by first accentuating the flaws of the Buhari administration can suddenly rise to endorse the same administration. There is no doubt that the faces of ACPN were only hunting for their meal tickets.

Incidentally, these are the same vices for which we blame the PDP and the APC. If for some reason ACPN found itself in power, wouldn’t we be dealing with the baggage of a president surrounded by an army of corrupt people, same thing we accuse Buhari of?

ACPN’s sudden implosion when it hasn’t even had a sniff of power weakens the hitherto sellable argument that breaking the PDP-APC hegemony is central to our progress as a nation.

Perhaps a little probe into the other alternate parties may reveal some of the political shenanigans for which we loathe ‘APCPDP’ or their arrowheads ‘Butiku’, in Ezekwesili’s words. It may mean that while the idea of sacking PDP and APC is not entirely bad, it would be utopian to conclude that Nigeria would assume political sainthood once a fresh, supposedly untainted party comes to power. The ACPN’s implosion teaches us that the quality of our leadership cannot exceed the strength of the values that drive our individual lives. The search for Nigeria’s next crop of leaders will have to focus more on the individual rather than the party — because, as we have now seen, men of moral vacuity and ideological emptiness abound in our political space. It doesn’t matter whether the party is PDP, APC or ACPN.

Editorial Commentary Your right to vote and to vote wisely

Times Guest Columnist Dr. Jumai Ahmadu

Election is defined as a formal and organised way of choosing people for a political office or other positions. In Nigeria, elective democracy was introduced in May 1919, when the Township Ordinance gave right to vote for three members of Lagos Town Council to some men. The first election to the council was held on 29 March 1920.

The first national election to be held in Nigeria was in 1959, and in 1965. Elections were held in the southern region of Nigeria.

After a long period of military rule, the 1983 general election took place. This was however cut short by the December 1983 coup that brought Muhammadu Buhari as Head of State.

In 1993, the country witnessed another general election that was adjudged as the most free, fair and credible elections by both local and international observers. The said election was presumably won by Chief MKO Abiola, but sadly the results were annulled by the then Military President General Ibrahim Babangida.

From 1999 till date, the country has enjoyed uninterrupted democratic dispensation witnessing four successive elections and the fifth coming up in February 2019.

Election makes a fundamental contribution to democratic governance as it enables voters and citizens to choose leaders and representatives and to hold them responsible and accountable for their actions in office as they are only elected to serve the people for a defined period of time as allowed by the country’s constitution.

In a developed democracy, because those in elective positions are conscious of the fact that they are required to submit themselves for periodic elections, they tend to put in their best to serve the people knowing full well that their performance will be the determining factor for their re-election.

This is why we have high rate of fulfilling election campaign promises; it also go beyond individual candidates vying for various elective positions to the general political ideology. Moreover, where the electoral processes is competitive and forces parties and candidates to expose their records and future performances to proper scrutiny, election serves as a platform for the discussions and debates on public issues and policies. It also serves as facilitator of public expressions.

Election thus provides political education for citizens and ensures the responsiveness of democratic governments to the yearnings of the people. It also serves as acts to legitimise the acts of those who wields power. Elections seem to facilitate social and political integrations and it is also a tool to actualize a selfactualising purpose by confirming the worth and dignity of individual citizens as human beings. Whatever other needs, participations in an elections serves to reinforce the worth and self esteem of individual voters.

As 2019 general elections draw nearer, voting gives the citizenry an opportunity to have a say in issues pertaining to their lives and through expressing partisanship, to satisfy their needs to have a sense of belonging. Seeing the importance of elections and the powers of the electorate, it is therefore important for the electorate to know those characteristics an individual possess before casting their votes.

In that case, the electorate can be glad with the choice of the candidate he or she made to

represent them at all level since the aim is to bring development to their communities.

Whether held under authoritarian or democratic regimes, election has ritualistic aspects. Campaigns that precede elections are dramatic events occasioned by rallies, posters, banners, and television coverage, all of which draw attention to the importance of participations on the events. Candidates, groups and political parties and others representing diverse opinions and objectives combine to invoke the spirit of nationalism.

Whatever the peculiar national or regional or local variations, elections are events that arouse emotions, and channelling these emotions and passions into collective symbols help in breaking the monotony of national life and focus attentions on the common fate.

Most elections do not determine public policies but instead confer on a small group of officials the authority to determine public policies through the instrumentality of laws and other devices on behalf of the whole.

Political parties are central to the elections of public officers, the selections and nominations of candidates, a central and vital first stage in the electoral processes, generally lies in the hands of political parties:, an election only serves as the final process in the recruitments of public officials. The party systems can thus be regarded as an extension of the electoral processes.

In Nigeria today, we have repeated cases of vote buying which has made the electorate to deprive themselves of the right to question the performance of their elected representatives.

This is so because the officials believe they bought the conscious of the people they are representing hence making them act as lords when in the real sense reverse should have been the case.

For instance, an average Briton see himself as very busy, that is why he will tell you boldly that the Prime Minister is there to serve and they can hold her accountable for any slightest wrong committed and ultimately remove her from office if need be. This is why you have all elected officers performing based on their campaign promises. It is no longer news that in developed democracies politicians are removed from office for failure to account for just £1,000 or he can be made to explain why the state funds was used to pay for his utility bills. What do we have in Africa? Leaders feeding fat on our commonwealth and at the same time depriving us from questioning their actions because they believe with the state resources in their disposal they can have their way during any election period.

This could have been avoided if credible individuals were voted in from the onset of the current democratic dispensation. However, it is not late to remedy the situation if we can collectively look at individual track records and vote wisely and not along party lines, but based on what we think they can offer and reject whatever the obviously morally bankrupt politicians are offering which will continue to make our collective development a mirage .

Voting for the right candidates give us the latitude to call them to order whenever we feel they are not representing us well. This will no doubt lead to appreciable development of our country and we will all be glad to have lived a good legacy for the future generations.

OUR POSITION

Medical brain drain and matters arising

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.

Police send out CJN Onnoghen’s office staff Short News CCT adjourns case indefinitely

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Some Supreme Court administrative staff working at the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen were on Monday barred from entering their offices.

Probably in attempt to eliminate the possibility of Onnoghen accessing his office after his purported suspension, last Friday,

by President Muhammadu Buhari some policemen barred the staff as early as 7 am on Monday.

Onnoghen spokesman Awassan Bassey who later confirmed the incident, however said that the staff were later briefed and asked to return to their office.

Our correspondent who visited the CJN Onnoghen office observed that the entrance and offices attached to CJN main office was not seal. Justice Onnoghen was however not in office in compliance with Code of Conduct Tribunal order.

Meanwhile, at the resumed hearing of the matter yesterday, the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal Danladi Umar and the second member, Mrs Juli Anabor who issued the ex- parte sat, while the First member of the panel, Williams Atadze, was absent.

Atadze had given a dissenting ruling on January 22 holding that the tribunal ought to obey the orders of the Federal High Court, FCT High Court and the National Industrial Court on grounds that a valid order of court must be obeyed until it was set aside.

When the matter was called, counsel to the Federal government, Musa Ibrahim, drew the tribunal’s attention to the appellate court order and applied for adjournment pending the ruling of the Court of Appeal slated for January 30.

Defence counsel led by Chief Kanu Agabi SAN, however did not oppose the request for adjournment but, however complained bitterly of the challenges faced by defence in obtaining the records of the tribunal.

Another defence lawyer, Chris Uche SAN, who was mandated by Agabi to speak with journalists outside the court disclosed that the defence is already probing the circumstances in which the tribunal issued the exparte order directing President Muhammadu Buhari to place the CJN under suspension pending the determination of the charge against him at the CCT. He said the defence was surprised on how the order was made, served and implemented even when the matter was

already adjourned till January 28 for hearing of all pending motions.

He said with the suspension of the CJN it appears the complainant had already achieved its aim and the case looking lifeless but that the defence is hopeful that justice will still be done in this matter.

Buhari had announced the suspension of Onnoghen as CJN. Buhari also immediately swore in the next in line to Onnoghen, Justice Tanko Muhammad in acting capacity as CJN and head of the National Judicial Council (NJC).

The President based his action on a purported exparte order by the CCT obtained on January 23. The CCT in the said ruling of January 23 had ordered Buhari to suspend Onnoghen pending the determination of the charge of non declaration of assets pending at the CCT. It also ordered Buhari to swear in the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court to Court as Acting CJN and adjourned till Monday, January 28 for the hearing of the motion on jurisdiction.

Tribunal Chairman Umar yesterday adjourned the matter sina die, awaiting the decision of the Court of Appeal who will tomorrow hear Justice Onnoghen appeal on earlier decision of the tribunal.

Ekiti gov: Tribunal affirms Fayemi’s victory Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Ekiti State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting at the Federal Capital Territory High Court at Apo in Abuja, on Monday affirmed Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the July 14, 2018, governorship election in Ekiti State.

In a unanimous judgement by a three-member panel of Justices, the tribunal held that there was no merit in the petition the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the election, Kolapo Olusola, lodged to challenge Fayemi’s victory at the poll.

Consequently, the election tribunal dismissed Olusola petition.

Delivering the lead judgement, the Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Suleiman Belgore, notes that the PDP and its candidate failed to prove any case of electoral malpractice against Governor Fayemi.

He said the inability of the petitioners to call adequate witnesses to testify with regards to the polling units where the alleged irregularities occurred, amounted to dumping of evidence before the tribunal without pleadings.

Justice Belgore further held that in the absence of credible evidence substantiated with pleadings, all the allegations raised by the petitioners were therefore deemed abandoned. “Evidence of facts not pleaded goes to nothing”, the tribunal’s Chairman held.

Group calls for Buhari’s impeachment over CJN’s suspension Akam James, Yenagoa A coalition of civil society of Nigeria under the guise of #OccupyNigeria, has called on the National Assembly to quickly reconvene an emergency session to begin the process of impeaching President Muhammadu Buhari, over allegations of gross misconduct, negligence of the rule of law.

Speaking during a protest by the group at Tombia junction area of Yenagoa, the state capital, the convener, Comrade Tony Nathan Ile, said it is severely unfortunate that the executive branch of government, which prides itself, as a government that respects the rule of law could just wake up and claim to have purportedly suspend the CJN on basic of an alleged ex-parte order of the code of conduct tribunal.

Ile, in his petition stated “This unfortunate development has openly shown the utmost desperation and determination of President Muhammad Buhari, to rig the forthcoming elections in favour of the APC.

Justice Kuewumi while sentencing the convict, said the offence is one that is fast growing in our country today and that all hands must be on deck to nip it in the bud.

He, therefore, sentenced the convict to one year imprisonment each on the three counts.

He, however, ruled that the sentence will run concurrently.

Youths from Kwara North Senatorial District have hailed the zone’s stakeholders’ pact with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in the state, ceding the governorship ticket to the zone by 2023 and compensating them with the Speakership of the state House of Assembly and Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in a post-2019 election.

Addressing newsmen in Ilorin, the state capital, the youths challenged elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the zone that have condemned the pact to pressure their own party to make similar concession to the zone within the same time frame.

They argued that the condemnation of the pact by some elders led by Senator Ahmed Mohammed was not consistent with the yearnings of people from Kwara north and argued that some of the elders had at one time or the other allegedly personally cornered appointments meant for the zone.

Fr Mbaka visits Buhari in Villa, meet behind closed doors Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

The fiery Catholic Priest and Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where they met behind closed doors.

The controversial cleric, who had predicted that President Buhari would defeat the then President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 election, arrived the forecourt of the president’s office at about 12 noon.

Mbaka was recently criticized over his

outburst in a video where he chastised the Peoples Democratic Party’s vice presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, for not donating money to his congregation.

He later apologised to Mr. Obi who had remained calm at the adoration ground despite what was viewed as unwarranted attack from the cleric who had wanted the former Anambra State governor to openly announce his donation to the ministry.

On arrival through the security gate, in a BMW car, maroon colour, Mbaka made straight to the president’s office complex.

After sometime, the former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani, arrived

and went straight to the President’s office.

Though some members of the State House correspondents had waited to know why he was at the Villa, but he took the security gate while going.

The Daily Times recalls that the Catholic Diocese of Enugu had in December 2018, banned Rev. Fr. Mbaka from endorsing politicians seeking elective offices.

The church had also asked Mbaka to send a written apology to former Anambra State governor and the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over their recent altercation.

Short News A’Ibom group protests composition of NDDC board Isaac Job, Uyo Community Watch of Nigeria (CWN) has faulted the appointment of the new acting management members of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by President Mohammadu Buhari last week, describing the appointment as lopsided.

The International Coordinator of the group, Chief Samingo Etukakpan, in an interaction with newsmen in Uyo on Saturday said that the appointment of acting Managing Director and Executive Directors which did not include any member from Akwa Ibom state as the highest oil producing state in the country is totally unacceptable.

Etukakpan said, “judging by the quantum of oil produced by Akwa Ibom State for the country and by the act establishing the Commission, Akwa Ibom is entitled to a permanent slot in the management committee, even though on acting capacity.

“Akwa Ibom State deserves to be given the Director of Finance even in the present acting capacity because of her position in the oil producing States of Nigeria”, Chief Etukapkan said.

Group petitions IG over Ebonyi Senator’s alleged certificate forgery

BMO to Int’l community: Your comment on CJN sheer hypocrisy

Tom Okpe, Abuja

APC queries why PDP, Atiku oppose Onnoghen’s suspension Tom Okpe, Abuja The All Progressives Congress (APC) has queried why the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is opposed to the suspension from office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) asking, “Why do PDP, Atiku oppose Onnoghen’s suspension as CJN”.

Onoghen was recently suspended from office as the CJN due to partial declaration of his assets at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as stipulated by law thereby referred to the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for trial.

The ruling party said in Abuja on Monday that: “Nigerians have been inundated in recent times with reports regarding self confessed discrepancies in the asset declaration made by erstwhile Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen; So, acting on an order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday took the decisive action

of suspending Onnoghen”.

Speaking through its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issah- Onilu, the party said that the strident opposition to Justice Onnoghen’s suspension coming from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by its presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar again points to their penchant for anything corrupt and criminal.

“We must ask ourselves these questions, why was Justice Onnoghen suspended? What are the charges against him? It is on the basis of this, we had expected the PDP, Atiku and their agents to assess the President’s action.

“Justice Onnoghen was accused of non declaration of assets; a requirement by law for every public officer. While under investigations, other transactions have been traced to Justice Onnoghen’s personal accounts, all undeclared as required by law. Justice Onnoghen has personally admitted to this in writing

claiming that he made a ‘mistake’ and ‘forgot’ to declare his assets.

“In the spirit of good conscience, integrity, character and general conduct expected of occupants of public office, we are of the strong position that Justice Onnoghen should have resigned immediately to face his trial after his confession and spare the Judiciary further disrepute. Justice Onnoghen did not. This in itself smells mischief”, the party said.

It was also alleged that Onnoghen fought to keep himself as CJN by all means possible thereby, fighting the same constitution that he swore to protect.

“It is important to remind the PDP and Atiku that Justice Onnoghen is not entitled to special treatment.

Such entitlement being canvassed by the PDP and Atiku is alien to our laws and not in tandem with our cardinal objective of fighting against corruption and indeed our overall Change Agenda.

The Buhari Media Organization (BMO) has described the comments of the international community on the ongoing CJN Onnoghen saga as sheer hypocrisy saying they are not in position to recommend to Nigeria what is not acceptable in their countries or in other advanced democracies.

The group also said that if they cannot help the country to fight the ill of corruption, they should not worsen the situation with insidious comments.

The United States of America, United Kingdom and the European Union had condemned the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN on discrepancies on his decoration of assets with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) said, in reaction to a coordinated statement by the trio on the suspension of Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen, that their position smacks of hypocrisy of the worst order.

You can’t fight corruption without living wage, says Dogara Workers boo Ngige, disagree with finance minister on N30,000

Henry Omunu, Abuja House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara has said that the government cannot succeed in its fight against corruption if it is unable to pay workers a living wage.

Dogara, who disclosed this while declaring open a public hearing on the new minimum wage organised by the House ad hoc committee on new minimum wage, declared that the N30, 000 minimum wage being canvassed can barely feed a small family.

According to him, it is only when workers are dignified with wages that can provide them minimum comfort that their productivity level will increase.

“When we do not pay living wage, we cannot tame corruption. When workers’ take home is not enough to take them home, the temptation for them to cut corners in order to get home will always be there.

“Workers keep and process our national wealth and the only way to insulate them from the temptation to want to help themselves to it, is to ensure they are well remunerated.

“It is not in contention that it is a mean job to muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain. Leaving workers to their temptations is dangerous unless we can show that they are greater than Oscar

Wilde, who in his vintage wicked wit, proclaimed, I can resist everything except temptation”.

The speaker added that we cannot pay living wage in a nation that represents a major promise for economic prosperity in the world speaks to the bane of our leadership.

To reverse this narrative, he stated that the nation must invest in proactive and innovative leadership not the reactive leadership model that currently obtains.

“Reality is, I am not a believer in minimum wage, although, it is a constitutional issue and the practice in many nations. I believe in living wage and wish the framers of our constitution had provided for a living wage instead.

“No wonder the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights speaks to rights to a living wage in Article 7(A)2 as incorporated in International Labour Organisation document,” he said.

Dogara added that poverty as a threat to democracy is evident in vote buying and in the use of money to compromise electoral and security officials during elections, thereby subverting the will of the people.

The speaker stated that “while we are not oblivious of the current economic downturn and the dwindling revenue of government, we cannot also be blind to the fact that all economic indices indicate that even the N30,000 minimum wage

that labour is asking for is not enough to sustain a small family unit.

“The nation may not have enough to satisfy the minimum demands of the Nigerian worker, but as a nation, we need to set our economic priorities right and ensure that we dignify our workers by making allowance for their minimum comfort. I know of no alternative if we hope to up the productivity level of our workforce.

“I have said before that poverty is the greatest threat to our democracy. Those who doubted me have seen that threat manifest itself in vote buying and in the use of money to compromise electoral and security officials during elections.

“The next evil is corruption. It is not in doubt that corruption fundamentally undermines democratic institutions and values. Corruption affects the poor most because they depend more on government for support. How then do we fight corruption from the roots rather than dealing with its symptoms as is currently the case? The answer is for us to begin to pay workers living wage not minimum wage.”

He said the House of Representatives is giving accelerated consideration to the very crucial bill to forestall the threat by labour to go on strike and because it is long overdue since the current National Minimum Wage, which was fixed in 2011, has become unrealistic due to supervening development.

CJN Onnoghen suspension:

tensions, intrigues Andrew Orolua, Abuja The suspension Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen from office by President Mohammadu Buhari last Friday has continued to raise dusk.

The latest being the nation wide warning boycott of Court sessions embarked upon by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) whose National Executive Council NEC arrived at the decision on Monday during an emergency meeting.

NBA NEC specifically resolves as follows that all lawyers are to boycott the courts nationwide for two days as a warning, commencing from tomorrow 29/01/2019, (2) that NBA condemns in strong terms the actions of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and (3)that NBA recognise Walter Onnoghen as the CJN. The resolution also include (4) that “NBA shall NOT recognise Tanko Mohammed as Ag. CJN and (5)it resolved to punish all lawyers complicit directly or indirectly in perpetrating this breach.

NBA therefore set up a committee to interface with the Government and put forward NBA demands.

NBA took the decision because it is deeply affected by the decision suspending the CJN Onnoghen from office. According to some members of the association who were privy to NEC deliberation, the argument was that due processes of law ought to have been followed in suspending the CJN. That the ex-parte order in which President Buhari relied on in ordering Onnoghen suspension is in itself suspicious, being allegedly forged.

Surprisingly, the issue pertaining to the ex-parte order was not raise or argued upon on Monday when the Code of Conduct Tribunal resumed its sitting yesterday before it sitting on the matter was adjourned sina die to await the decision of Court of Appeal.

A senior advocate , Chief Christ Uche SAN, who was mandated on behalf of the defence team, Mr.

CJN, Onnoghen

Godwin Agabi SAN to speak to journalists after the brief sitting told journalists that the defence team is investigating the ex-parte order.

Therefore it was not appropriate to delve into the matter now when the order and record of the proceeding of that day have not been received.

He said the defence was surprised

on how the order was made, served and implemented even when the matter was already adjourned till January 28 for hearing of all pending motions.

He said with the suspension of the CJN it appears the complainant had already achieved its aim and the case looking lifeless but that the defence is

hopeful that justice will still be done in the matter.

On his part, Agabi anxiously demanded for even the record of proceeding of the tribunal sitting of January 22, 2019. The second member of the tribunal Mrs Juli Anabor said it will be ready on Monday afternoon.

She sat with the chairman of the tribunal Danladi Umar at the session while the First member Williams Atedze was conspicuously absent.

Atedze had dissented in giving the ex-parte order as well as the ruling that rejected the Federal High Courts orders which temporarily would have suspended the trial.

The CCT had on January 22 adjourned to today January 28 for hearing on the motion filed by Onnoghen, challenging the tribunal’s powers to hear the charge against him.

Umar had fixed Monday January 28 for the hearing of the motion after he held that the CCT is not bound by 4 courts orders halting the trial at the CCT. Instead of the tribunal to wait till the adjourned date to issued the exparte order. Those privy to the event of 23 January said the Chairman of the tribunal and the second member acted under intense pressure from certain quarters who ensure that the order was issued that particular day to avoid confrontation with Court Appeal of 24 January order .

The President based his action on a purported exparte order by the CCT obtained on January 23. The CCT in the said ruling of January 23 had ordered Buhari to suspend Onnoghen pending the determination of the charge of non declaration of assets pending at the CCT. It also ordered Buhari to swear in the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court to Court as Acting CJN and adjourned till Monday, January 28 for the hearing of the motion on jurisdiction.

Following the development, Nigerians and the entire world are watching to see the end of this drama; described by an observer as a rape on democracy.

We don’t sell people’s Data - Zuckerberg Ladesope Ladelokun Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, defending his company once again, and hitting out at “misreported” claims that the social network sells user data.

The article, which is over 1,000 words long, seeks to explain the reasoning behind Facebook’s targeted advertising model and clear up confusion around its handling of people’s personal information.

Zuckerberg said that the lack of a price tag on Facebook’s service has become an area of “complexity” when it comes to trying to understand its business model.

“In an ordinary transaction, you pay a company for a product or service they provide,” he wrote. “Here you get our services for free — and we work separately with advertisers to show you relevant ads. This model can feel opaque, and we’re all distrustful of systems we don’t understand.”

Zuckerberg added: “Sometimes this means people assume we do things that we don’t do. For example, we don’t sell people’s data, even though it’s often reported that we do.”

The company has become the target of much criticism over the way it handles people’s personal information in the wake of revelations last year that it allowed political consultancy Cambridge Analytica to gain access to the data of 87 million people.

The fact that the column was published in the WSJ appears to be a significant move, given that the newspaper’s core readership includes business professionals and investors.

Facebook’s stock became increasingly unloved by investors last year — shares have fallen around 20 percent since Mar. 17, the day on which initial reports of the leaking of data to Cambridge Analytica were published.

Zuckerberg said Facebook selling user information on to advertisers would be “counter to our business interests because it would reduce the unique value of our service to advertisers.” He said the firm has a “strong incentive” to protect users’ data.

Facebook’s claim that it doesn’t sell people’s data has been disputed by academics and privacy advocates. The firm says that it only sells targeted advertising, a model of online marketing that essentially optimizes ads based on a user’s interests and clicking habits.

Michal Kosinski, an assistant professor at Stanford University, said last year that the company’s claim it does not sell user data is “like bars giving away a free martini with every $12 bag of peanuts and then claiming that it’s not selling drinks.”

“Rich user data is Facebook’s most prized possession, and the company sure isn’t throwing it in for free,” Kosinski said in a New York Times opinion piece

How 8 banks withheld N700m overpaid to former Airways workers Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Office of the Accountant General of the federation is at the loggerheads with mot less than eight major banks operating in the country, as the financial institutions have illegally withheld over N700 million mistakenly paid into the accounts of some former workers of the Nigeria Airways by the Federal Government.

According to information, gathered, the unprofessional attitude of the banks has created tension between them, the Accountant General’s office and the former workers of the defunct national carrier.

The N700 million represented the extra money that was mistakenly paid into the account of some of the former workers who were paid twice by the government after the verification exercise carried out on them before the government approved the payment of the N22 billion being the part payment of the N45 billion they were expected to receive as their final entitlements for working at the defunct airline.

All efforts made by the Accountant General and the National Union of Pensioners (NUP), representatives of the workers to make the banks refund the money to the Accountant General’s office which was the original source from where the money was paid into the accounts of the

affected workers in the various banks failed as the banks refused to return the overpaid money.

Rather than return the money honourably, the banks have been accused of illegally trading with the money.

The eight banks affected include the First Bank which is said to be in possession of the lion share of 80 per cent of the money in question.

Other banks include Diamond, Fidelity, Polaris, Zenith, Stanbic and Ecobank.

While the eight banks failed to comply with the gentleman agreement to refund the money, few others are said to have voluntarily returned the money mistakenly paid into the accounts.

The banks that have fully refunded the money are Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), Keystone Bank, Standard Chartered, Unity and United Bank for Africa (UBA).

While the office of the Accountant General was said to be unhappy with the banks, the union representatives of the former airline workers have given the banks one-week ultimatum which ends this week to return the money to government warning that if they fail to comply that they will picket the bank’s first thing next Monday.

The refusal of the banks to refund the money is said to be slowing down the ongoing payment of the last batch of the former workers their own entitlements.

Litigation crisis threatens February deadline of $1.5bn rail project Temitope Adebayo The first phase of the $1.5billion LagosIbadan Rail Project is threatened by litigation over China Civil Construction Corporation (CCECC) demolition of properties along the construction axis.

The demolition has increased attacks by hoodlums and armed robbers on the project contractor in Lagos.

This is coming after the two weeks ultimatum giving by the federal government to CCECC to complete the first phase of the $1.5billion LagosIbadan standard gauge railway.

The Honourable Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi represented by the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Engr. Fidet Okhiria claimed that the owners of the properties went to court after collecting compensation for their demolished properties.

According to him, “Compensation issues keep coming and going. We are happy that we

don’t have too much complaint except some influential Nigerians who, after collecting their compensation for their demolished properties, still went to court to challenge the legality of the demolition exercise.

“They are now complaining that the money they received as compensation is not enough. This was after they have collected their compensation.”

On the speed on work being done, the minister stated that in seven days time, the track laying will get to Iju. “Before 6th of February, 2019, we expect the standard gauge train to start moving from Iju to Abeokuta.

“They have definitely improved from where they were the last time we came here. For the Lagos-Ibadan train, there won’t be any station in Ijoko because we hope to maintain a fast train.

However, the narrow gauge will have a train station in Ijoko.

“The contractor is presently doing 1.5km per day, and from Ijoko where they are now to Iju is 10km. So we expect them to get to Iju in seven days,” the Honourable minister added.

Recall that the Amaechi said he is not

impressed by the CCECCover the work done, this is even as the FG gave the CCECC two weeks to deliver on the project or risk nonapproval of further Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) following the approval of N42bn just last week.

He said: “ The problem they have now is the civil work from Agbado to Iju which is critical to me because I don’t think people will go to Agbado to go and pick train, the closer we are to Lagos the better for the rail that is why we stop here so that CCECC will tell me where we are going to be in the next two weeks.

According to him “there is huge improvement up to Dk 77 and where we are is Dk79 and they have said in the next two weeks they will get to the tunnel and will be able to cross over the tunnel.

“Then I also want them to get the same speed in the construction of Agbado to Iju, we agree that there is a human factor, they are using our right of way as their road but am sure something will be done in the next two weeks.

Speaking on the pace of work, he said, “the contract is three years, we are only pushing them if they can submit the project before the

three years because I want them to finish on time” “Part of the solution to Lagos seaport gridlock is an efficient rail line, we do not argue that the narrow gauge is there but is not efficient, once the standard gauge is fixed those goods will be transfer to the rail and the gridlock will disappear.

It not clear that is the problem at the seaport, goods are cleared on time but the problem is how to move those goods out of the seaport.

“The pressure is more economical than political, so we need to put more pressure on them and once they have completed from Abeokuta to Iju the next pressure is from Iju to the seaport.

He added that the equipment we are talking of is not off the shelve equipment. Getting more hands is not the problem but getting the equipment for more hands to use is the problem.

What we saw from Agbado to Iju is not a matter of more hands, it’s a matter of equipment. These are equipment you apply for from overseas and they ship it down. So if the equipment arrives, probably they will finish the job.

Daily Times Nigeria Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Why I’m investing in refinery, petrochemicals, others - Dangote Motolani Oseni The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has explained that his ongoing investment in refining, petrochemicals, fertilizer, and gas is driven by the desire to bring innovation and efficiency into all aspects of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, Dangote, who is also constructing the largest fertilizer Plant in West Africa with the capacity to produce 3.0 million tonnes of Urea per year as part of the gigantic economic transformation project, made this disclosure at the Nigeria International Petroleum Summit in Abuja.

He said that the company is committed to the concept of energy efficiency and innovation in the oil and gas sector.

The business mogul, whose 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity refinery is the largest

in Africa, was represented by the Group Executive Director, Government and Strategic Relations, Dangote Industries Limited (Dangote.com), Engr. Ahmed Mansur.

Addressing participants at the forum, Mansur said the theme of the conference, “Shaping the Future through Efficiency and Innovation”, was quite apt; given Nigeria’s quest for economic transformation.

According to him, Aliko Dangote is passionate about efficiency and innovation in the oil & gas sector by adding value to the hydrocarbon process.

Mansur said the company’s passion and drive are seen in the building of the project, which will become the world largest single train refinery on completion and therefore a boost to Nigeria’s economy.

He stated: “The Refinery can meet 100 per cent of the domestic requirement of all liquid petroleum products (Gasoline, Diesel,

Kerosene and Aviation Jet), leaving the surplus for export.

“This high volume of PMS output from the Dangote Refinery will transform Nigeria from a petrol import-dependent country to an exporter of refined petroleum products.

The refinery is designed to accommodate multiple grades of domestic and foreign crude and process these into high-quality gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuels that meet Euro V emissions specifications, plus polypropylene”, he said.

Mansur disclosed that Dangote is also constructing the largest fertiliser Plant in West Africa with the capacity to produce 3.0 million tonnes of Urea per year as part of the gigantic economic transformation project. He explained that the Dangote Fertiliser complex consists of Ammonia and Urea plants with associated facilities and infrastructure.

“Nigeria will be able to save $0.5 billion

from import substitution and provide $0.4 billion from exports of products from the fertilizer plant. Thus, the supply of fertilizer from the plant, which is set for commissioning before the second quarter of 2019, will be enough for the Nigerian market and neighbouring countries,” he added.

Speaking further, he said at a time when the oil and gas industry and the global economy is in a state of flux, it is most appropriate that attention should be given to the future especially given an incredible speed and quantum of change taking place in every facet of human endeavour.

“Our economy, in particular, cannot afford to ignore these massive changes. Our decades of dependence on this industry for our economic well-being and the urgent need for diversification has been widely recognized and is clearly the most critical challenge for our policymakers”, he said.

Customs raked N4trn revenue in 4 years - Ali Idu Jude, Abuja Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) said it generated about four trillion naira revenue for the country in the last four years.

The Comptroller General of Customs, Col Hameed Ali (rtd), disclosed this at a news conference to mark 2019 International Customs Day (ICD) in Abuja on Monday.

The World Customs Organisation (WCO) dedicates every 26th of January for the celebration and drawing the attention of the

global community to a particular aspect of customs’ functions.

The day is also set aside for Customs administrations to highlight its activities, challenges, achievements, and potential for national consciousness as well as greater support.

Ali said that the service realised N904 billion in 2015, N898.8 billion in 2016, N1.037 trillion in 2017 and N1.2 trillion in 2018.

He said that the ongoing reform by NCS and growing attitudinal change among stakeholders and officers and men were the reason for continuous rising in revenue

generation.

According to him, in the last three and half years, the service has carried out reform programmes that turned the agency into a high volume revenue source and stricter enforcer of anti-smuggling laws.

“Our experiences within these years have shown that with an increased level of compliance from our stakeholders and integrity on the part of all operatives, the nation can earn more revenue needed to build the Nigeria of our dream,” he said.

The Custom’s boss said that smuggling remained a challenge that the service had

been striving to combat.

He said that the three layers security strategy – Residents Officers of the Command, Federal Operation Unit, and Headquarters Strike Force – had continued to make smuggling unattractive.

He said that within the year under review, 2,671 pump action rifles were seized in Lagos as well as 61 containers of Tramadol and other controlled drugs in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

Alli said that the deadly items seized

by NCS clearly demonstrated the service contributions to national economy and security.

How Coca-Cola is using AI to generate fresh insight Godwin Anyebe The range of products offered by The CocaCola Company is growing faster than the space available in most convenience stores, so the drinks giant is using AI to help it allocate products most efficiently.

Saurabh Parikh, VP/Innovation, Architecture & Data at CONA Services, a unit of Coca-Cola that serves the organization’s bottlers across North America, addressed this

topic at a recent New York conference.

“Our business is dependent on making sure the right products, in the right stores, in the right packaging are available to consumers,” he explained. “And bottlers play a very critical role in bringing brands to life in the marketplace.”

But with more than 1,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) in its portfolio and a nearconstant flow of new products, retailers can struggle to keep up. “The challenge becomes: How do you know what’s the right product

assortment for a given outlet based on who the shopper is?” said Parik.

“And this is where AI comes in [and] where we put a lot of data together and build a specific portfolio that makes sense for that outlet and that outlet’s shopper.”

He further reported that a “cosine similarity-based algorithm” now enables CONA Services to compare every convenience store in a set market with each another. If 53 such outlets are present in a particular geographical region, for instance, Parikh’s

team crunches the numbers to identify those retailers with the most favorable equivalent sales patterns, customer profiles, and seasonal trends.

“What can I learn from those 53 stores?” asked Parikh. “What products are overindexing there that I can bring here as well as predict how much business that will grow for the customer?”

The answer was to build a couple of algorithms, including one based on cosine similarity which worked particularly well.

NSE: ASI shed 82.4 points to close trading at 31, 3444a Temitope Adebayo The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) crucial market indices resumed trading for the week on Monday with AllShare Index (ASI) shedding 82.39 points or 0.26 per cent to close at 31,344.24 against 31,426.63 recorded on Friday.

Also, the market capitalisation which opened at N11.719 trillion dipped N31 billion or 0.26 per cent to close at N11.688 trillion.

Analysts at InvestData Ltd. anticipated that the market was experiencing mixed performance and a pullback to halt the bull-run.

They said that the pullback was expected due to intensifying political uncertainties and insecurity resulting from the Federal Government’s recent decision to suspend and appoint an acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

They said that the development in less than three weeks to presidential polls would further rattle investors’ confidence in the market and the system entirely.

“The possibility of a slowdown in position taking on blue-chip stocks for short term gains has increased.

“However, gains recorded in the two previous weeks are not sustainable in the near term owing to the elevated risk in the domestic and external market.

“The ongoing volatility will persist as investors and fund managers reposition their portfolios, with eyes fixed on political space ahead of full-year company earnings position and post-election market dynamics.

“These are likely to drive prices north, or south, while determining market direction before or after the Presidential Election,” the analysts said.

A breakdown of the price movement table indicates that Seplat recorded the highest loss during the day, losing N20 to close at N520 per share.

Berger Paint trailed with a loss of 75k to close at N7, while United Bank for Africa was down by 35k to close at N7.35 per share.

Dangote Flour Mills shed 30k to N6.20, while GlaxoSmithKline declined by 25k to close at N11.75 per share.

Conversely, Total led the gainers’ table, improving N8.80 to close at N223.30 per share.

Betaglass followed with a gain of 65k to close at N55.55, while Zenith International Bank added 45k to close at N23.45 per share.

Oando gained 25k to close at N5.10 while NPF Micro Finance Bank garnered 14k to close at N1.60 per share.

Why we are backing Atiku to win 2019 election - Ajayi Mr. Anthony Kayode Ajayi, an engineer is the Coordinator of the United Kingdom (UK) Group for Atiku for President 2019, the Secretary of Afenifere Europe and the U.K. Recently, Ajayi was in Nigeria and he spoke to The Daily Times on why the group is having the confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will win the 2019 election.

Alade Tasma Can you tell us what the UK Group is all about?

Yes, the UK Group is all about ensuring good governance in Nigeria.

We are made up of over 10,000 patriotic Nigerians living in the UK with keen interest in what happens back home across the country.

Members of the Group are professionals in different field based in the UK and strongly believe that Nigeria has what it takes to be a leading country in the comity of nations. We decided to come together as a strong political Group to assist in changing the narrative of the political structure in Nigeria.

Why does the Group prefer to support Atiku among many young candidates if really you want to change the narrative of the political structure?

Some quarters in Nigeria believe that Atiku belong to the old generation of recycled politicians who had failed this country and there is nothing new he has to offer to Nigerians. Before the Group decided to support Atiku, we examined critically all the other candidates and we found out that he is the most experienced person with the political will to change the narrative, because he has the progress of Nigeria and Nigerians at heart.

Yes, there are couple of young candidates, but they don’t have the experience to pilot a ship such as Nigeria. The young candidates supposed to start their political ambition at the state levels where they can gather enough experience before thinking about the presidential seat. They are supposed to probably go to the State Assembly or National Assembly before thinking to be president. Remember that Nigeria is a peculiar country and there is need for them to understand the system before they can make the positive change.

As for the issue to whether Atiku belongs to old generation of politicians, Atiku being old in the system means he has the experience to run the affairs of this country effectively.

Remember that in 1999 when Atiku and Obasanjo took over power from the Military under the PDP, they met an economy without the likes of MTN, Airtel, Glo, Etisalat, Dangote Cement, NIPP, Shoprite, privatized NEPA and many more. There were no agencies like ICPC, EFCC, to fight corruption.

No regulatory agencies like NERC, NCC, PPPRA etc. No due process or procurement Act, no UBE Act, and many other laws. No Communication satellites and many other creations they brought to the country. So, Atiku has the experience and the political will to change the narrative.

Engr. Anthony

Are you saying that the APC led Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari don’t have the experience to change the narrative in the country?

The APC you mentioned is a group that does not have any good agenda for Nigerians. Do you know that the APC led Federal Government is now in a phase where it borrows more money than it generates within a fiscal year?

The Federal Government of Nigeria under APC has a deficit of N3.8 trillion greater than its reported revenue of N2.65 trillion. The country’s oil revenue of N1.2 trillion is not enough to meet its personal obligations of N1.8 trillion.

A crisis is brewing with the growth in debt, not matched with corresponding rise in revenue. Between 2011 and 2017 at no time except in 2011 did actual crude oil production per day

exceed actual budgeted benchmark of average daily crude oil production.

Except between 2016 and 2017 when there was a marginal increase of .12 barrels per day, at no time between 2011 and 2016 did we experience a rise in crude oil production per day.

This means that over seven years now we have aggregately recorded a fall in crude oil production.

According to Fitch ratings, Nigeria’s gross debts are 320 per cent of its annual revenue, one of the highest in the world. On November 7, 2017 MOODY’s Investment Services downgraded Nigeria’s Sovereign Issuer Rating to B2 citing, their rationale as largely unsuccessful efforts of the Nigerian authority to increase non-oil revenue and persistent key structural weaknesses.

The APC government under

Atiku’s stronghold is that our growth model has to change for us to survive as a country.

A model based on sharing of government revenue must give way to a new structure that will challenge and drive productivity in different regions across the country. This model must take into account that factors driving productivity in today’s world are no longer driven by fossil oil but rather the proliferation of a knowledge-based economy.

Buhari had on several occasions released bailout funds to enable states to meet their recurrent expenditure requirements.

Only about Nine states including Lagos, Kano, Edo, Enugu, Delta, Rivers, Abia, Kwara and Anambra have their internally generated revenue sufficient enough to cover their interest repayments on their debts without depending on allocations from federally collected revenue.

According to BudgIT, its scale of ability to meet recurrent expenditure obligations rankings’, only four state namely Lagos, Katsina, Rivers and Kano have average monthly revenue in excess of average monthly recurrent expenditure.

Currently, reports show that the economy of Nigeria increased 3.23 per cent quarter on quarter in the second quarter of 2017, recovering from a 13.3 per cent contraction in the first quarter.

GDP growth rate in Nigeria averaged 1.17 per cent from 2010 until 2017, reaching an all-time high of 10.59 per cent in the third quarter of 2010 and a record low of -13.98 per cent in the first quarter of 2016.

In the face of this economic reality, the Population Reference Bureau predicts that Nigeria will in 2050 become the world’s fourth -largest population with a population of 397 million coming after China, India and the United States of America.

A non-governmental organisation in Vienna, World Poverty Clock, founded by the German government and led by Homi Kharas, Deputy Director of the Brookings Institute in the US, and Wolfgang Fengler, a World Bank head economist is predicting that Nigeria will overtake India as the country with one of the world’s poorest people. They contend that by 2030, there will be 200 million fewer people in the world living in extreme poverty than there are today. However, 438 million or 5 per cent of the world’s population will still be below extreme poverty line. This year, for example, the extreme poverty level is rising in 30 countries; in these countries a total of 9 million more people will be living in extreme poverty. Very few countries in Africa are making fast enough progress on ending poverty, and in two large countries, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, their populations are growing faster than their economic growth so poverty will likely continue to rise.

Nigeria’s population in extreme poverty is rising by 5.7 people per minute and that of DRC by 3.6 people per minute.

The situation in Nigeria is such that in February next year it will overtake India as having the most people living in extreme poverty in the world at 82 million.

What makes you believe that Atiku that you are supporting is the option to solve these issues you have mentioned?

Atiku’s stronghold is that our growth model has to change for us to survive as a country. A model based on sharing of government revenue must give way to a new structure that will challenge and drive productivity in different regions across the country. This model must take into account that factors driving productivity

in today’s world are no longer driven by fossil oil but rather the proliferation of a knowledge-based economy.

To Atiku and to most of us both at home and abroad, the restructuring of Nigeria into smaller and independent federations units and the devolution of powers to these federating units to control exclusively their human capital development, mineral resources, agriculture, and power (albeit with an obligation to contribute to the Federal Government) is the only way to salvage our fledging economy.

Restructuring will devote attention to the new wealth areas; promote competition and productivity as the new federating units struggle to survive.

It will drastically reduce corruption at the large federal parastatals which gulps government revenue for little or no impact dissolve and give way to small and viable organs in the new federating units.

Ten years ago the top ten companies in the world were the likes of Exxon Mobile, Shell and Total. Today, the top eight companies in the world are represented by technology related companies. They include Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon.

The example of Netherlands in agriculture is also relevant here. The Netherlands is the 18th largest economy in the world. It has a land area of about 33.9,000 square kilometers. While Niger State, one of Nigeria’s 37 administrative units has about 74,000 square kilometers.

Netherlands has over $100 billion from agricultural exports annually, contributed mainly by vegetables and dairy. Nigeria’s oil revenue has never in any one year reached $100 billion. Northern Nigeria is the most endowed agriculturally in Nigeria. Its tomatoes, carrots, cabbages, cucumbers, tubers, grains, livestock and dairy feed the majority of Nigerians in spite of its huge reserve of unexploited export potentials. In a restructured Nigeria, Northern Nigeria, with the right agricultural policies, will be the richest part of Nigeria.

Therefore, the Group is optimistic that Atiku’s blueprint for Nigeria will cushy the defect across the country. Atiku’s rich manifesto addresses all the challenges currently confronting the country.

From defence and security, through job creation, education and infrastructure to poverty alleviation, power and fight against corruption, no document from any presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria come close to Atiku’s manifesto in terms of concept, content and creativity.

Can’t Nigeria achieve all of these without Atiku?

For now, we don’t have any other presidential candidate with the political will to start the process. This is the right time for Nigerians to come together in unity to make the necessary compromises and sacrifices needed to restructure our federation to make the nation a stronger, more united, productive and competitive country. This is the right time to give Atiku the chance to change the narrative in Nigeria.

Unai Emery: Arsenal could recruit before transfer deadline

Unai Emery said Arsenal could recruit up to two players before Thursday’s transfer deadline, with Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic linked with a move to the Emirates.

The Arsenal manager’s preference is for loan deals and Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez is also rumoured to be on the Premier League club’s radar.

“This transfer (window) is not easy and the message is the club is working on different players and the possibility, if it can be, is good for us,” Emery told reporters on Monday, refusing to be drawn on specific names.

“We are looking at two different players and the possibility they can come. If they aren’t coming to help us like we want, I prefer they don’t come.”

Emery hinted at his reluctance to recruit defensive reinforcements, despite injuries to Sokratis Papastathopoulos (ankle) and Laurent Koscielny (jaw).

“We have enough players, centre-backs in the squad. Only we’re having a lot of injuries and a lot in this position,” the Spaniard said.

“If we can bring another player and when all the players want to play, we can have a lot of trouble in the future.”

Sokratis and Koscielny were injured in Friday’s FA Cup loss to Manchester United.

Sokratis is expected to be out for “maybe two or three weeks,” Emery said, while Koscielny’s jaw is bruised, but not broken.

The Frenchman will miss Tuesday’s Premier League clash with Cardiff but could be back for Sunday’s trip to champions

Manchester City.

Fifth-placed Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0 in their most recent Premier League match, a result that will count for little if the Gunners fail to beat relegation-threatened Cardiff.

The match at the Emirates will be emotionally charged after the disappearance last week of a plane carrying new Cardiff signing Emiliano Sala.

“If you win against Chelsea and you don’t win tomorrow, you are losing three very important points,” Emery said.

“Tomorrow we need to impose and to adapt. I think they’re going to play with big motivation, also and finding a lot of duels against us.

“We need tomorrow to be concentrated for the three points like we were against Chelsea.”

CAF agree to delay AFCON by a week

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly taken the decision to push back the start date of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations by a week.

The continental tournament is now set to begin on June 21 instead of June 14 and will run until July 19.

Egyptian Football Association (EFA) vice president Ahmed Shobir announced the decision on his private television sports programme.

“A number of North African countries asked the CAF to delay the opening of the tournament for one

week because of fasting in Ramadan as well as celebrating Eid Al-Fitr,” Shobir said on the TV programme, as quoted

by Ahram Online.

“CAF agreed with the countries’ request and the tournament will start 21 June instead of 14 June, and it will be finished on 19 July 2019,” Shobir added.

The decision will also give Egypt an extra week to prepare for the tournament, having only been awarded the rights earlier this month.

The North African county won a vote over South Africa (their only rivals) to

stage the finals after Cameroon were stripped of the rights in November 2018.

The 2019 AFCON will be the fifth time Egypt have hosted the finals, adding to the 1959, 1974, 1986 and 2006 editions.

The following teams have already qualified for the 2019 tournament: Egypt, Madagascar, Tunisia, Senegal, Morocco, Nigeria, Uganda, Mali, Guinea, Algeria, Mauritania, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Ghana.

The draw for the group stage is set to be held on April 12 in Cairo.

Everton reject Paris-St-Germain bid for Idrissa Gueye Super Eagles to know AFCON opponents April 12 Three–time champions Nigeria will know their group phase opponents at the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations finals on 12th April – the date now approved by the Confederation of African Football for the staging of the draw.

The ceremony, which will take place in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, will see the 24 qualified teams drawn into six groups of four teams each, with the two top –placed teams in each group, alongside the best four third–placed

teams, progressing to the Round of 16.

Egypt 2019 will be the first 24–team Africa Cup of Nations in history, with matches scheduled to be played in eight venues between 21st June and 19th July.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have already made sure of a place in the finals, ahead of the final round of the qualifying matches scheduled for late March 2019.

Everton have rejected an offer from Paris-StGermain for midfielder Idrissa Gueye, says boss Marco Silva.

The 29-year-old, who joined the Goodson Park club from Aston Villa in 2016, has reportedly been the subject of a £21.5m bid from the French champions.

“My opinion is the same as the club’s, and we rejected the offer,” Silva said.

“He is one player we do not think to lose in this market.

Of course, after some moments it can become a matter of money.

“From my point of view he is a really important player for us.”

Gueye’s deal with Everton runs until June 2022 and he has played in 20 of the side’s 23 league games this season.

Meanwhile, Silva says he is “not panicking” over his side’s recent form, which has left them 11th in the Premier League.

The Toffees followed up three defeats in their past four top-flight games with being knocked out of the FA Cup at Championship side Millwall on Saturday.

“One of the things we need to be as a club, as a squad, is more mature,” said Silva, whose side travel to the topflight’s bottom club Huddersfield on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

“When there were good results, you asked me if we could play for fifth or sixth position, and now after a bad run it looks like panic.

“In October, November, when we were playing well and doing what is our obligation as a club, what is our

ambition as a club, and it looks fantastic and easy, I told you many, many things we need to improve because it was not as easy as it looks.

“I am not happy with the last month and a half with the last run, but I am not panicking.

“We as a club cannot panic. Even if we are not happy, even if the fans are really disappointed with the FA Cup result.

“I am also, but I am not panicking because we as a club cannot panic if we want to do the right things in the future.”

Watford boss Javi Gracia praises Isaac Success’ FA Cup performance Watford manager Javi Gracia has praised Isaac Success for his performance in their FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on Saturday.

The 23-year-old was outstanding in the encounter, helping the Vicarage Road outfit win possession and capping it with a late goal as the Hornets reached the fifth round of the competition with a 2-0 victory over their Premier League counterpart.

The Spanish tactician who is pleased with the work-rate of the striker is delighted that the former Granada player crowned his effort with a goal.

“He [Success] scored at the end of the game, but he worked a lot during the game, fighting with all the defenders and trying to give different attacking options,” Gracia told club website.

“I think the goal was the reward he deserved.”

Success has now scored three goals in four games in the League Cup and FA Cup. With only 12 starts in 26 appearances in all competitions, he will hope to get a starting role when Watford take on Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League game on Wednesday.

A Review of Today in History as captured by Daily Times https://plus.google.com/+DailytimesNgr/posts

Nigerian leaders have never spoken with ‘One Voice’ When it suits them, Nigerian leaders will tell you there is no other country to call our own. Are they right?

Do Nigerian leaders believe in Nigeria? At what time have Nigerian leaders bypassed ethnic, religious and other mundane consideration to canvass for the good of Nigeria, with ‘one voice’?

As far back as Tuesday, 29th January, 1957, Daily Times had reported that the Western Nigeria Minister for Labour and Welfare D S Adegbenro challenged Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe while campaigning in Ibadan saying that the call by Azikiwe for self determination was not realistic because he had earlier promised not to make such demand until 1959 when the North promised to bring up such demand.

Adegbenro therefore said that Azikiwe’s party, NCNC made the call for self determination due to its failure to plan well and therefore a desperate facesaving measure.

“The people of Nigeria were determined to know from Dr. Zik (Nnamdi Azikiwe) why self government was not desirable,” Adegbenro said, adding that Dr. Azikiwe had no plan for the constitutional future of Nigeria.

He added that Dr. Azikiwe knew full well that he could not “just run to London conference and demand self government for Nigeria.” Adding that there must be a proposal to which all governments of the Federation agreed before the issues could be raised.”

“Self determination can never be won on the altar of flamboyance and meaningless manifesto and declaration but on the platter of real work,” Adegbenro said.

As it was in 1957, so was it on 26th January, 1950 when representative Northern Nigeria threatened to walk

out on a conference that started the previous day because their demands for a certain level of representation was not met. Their action led to the deadlock of the conference.

Today the negative bug that bites Nigerian leaders has not died. Even when the best representation or argument is advanced by anybody, what determines the support it would get is where the speaker comes from; his tribe and his religion, among other unpatriotic reasons.

As it is with the Hausas, so it is with the Ibos, the Yorubas, the Nupes, everyone. Ethnic and religious sentiments are not restricted to the old members of the society. Young people who are supposed to be beacons of light and hope for the country are also entrapped so that when any issue is raised on social media, people you thought were youthful and therefore expected to speak with spirit of enlightenment end up disappointing you because like their fathers, they have also been blinded by the same sentiments that ruined our nation.

LAST LINE

Whose interest is ASUU representing?

Two weeks ago, striking Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, warned the management of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife not to conduct examinations for students of the university, claiming that not up to 70 percent of their courses have been covered to warrant the conduct of exams.

ASUU gave the warning because the authorities of the university had earlier called upon the students to return to school, a call which the students responded to, enthusiastically. ASUU was therefore not happy that students went to school at the instance of university authorities.

But why won’t the students be glad to go back to school? These are young people whose parents sent to school to study and who are eager to graduate and get out the frustration den that is the Nigerian universities, especially those owned by government.

For many weeks now, ASUU has been on strike. Its demands include the payment of Earned Academic Allowance unpaid since 2009, among many others.

This is not the first, not the second and not the tenth time ASUU is going on strike.

In fact statistics has it that ASUU is the most notorious body when it comes to embarking on strikes in Nigeria, most times for the same senseless and useless reasons, because in spite of the uncountable times the Union has gone on strike, almost nothing has been achieved in terms of provision of infrastructure and overall quality of education in Nigeria.

Therefore, it is time parents take to the streets to demand that ASUU end the ongoing strike as well as warn the Union to stop the wicked act that frustrates the plan of young people to acquire education and move on with their lives.
