FAAC: How FG, states, LGAs share N5.66trn in 2017 Continued from page 1 N5.66trillion in 11 months from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), The Daily Times checks had revealed. The highest amount distributed was in June with the three-tiers government sharing N652billion while the lowest amount was distributed in April with N415.7bn. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) by early next year is expected to release allocation to the three tiers of government. Early in the year, January to be precise, a total amount of N465bn was distributed, while in February and March N429bn and N468.8bn was distributed respectively.

The report stated that, N418.8bn was shared in May and N467.8bn in July. The NBS FAAC figure increased to N637.7bn in August because of “a significant increase in export volume by 0.85 million barrels, which resulted in increased revenue from export sales revenue by about $41m. Analysts also said that, “The Biggest jumps were in June and August. Most big corporate entities pay their Company Income Tax in June. N691bn was shared in June 2016. In addition, the distribution moved to N558.1bn in September; N532.7bn in October and N609.9bn in November. In November as shared in December, FAAC committee stated that “aver-

age price of crude oil from $48.66 to $52.07 per barrel and a decrease in export sales of $69.49m due to decrease in oil production by 1.75 million barrels.”. There was a discrepancy issue in October allocation which was finally distributed in early December. Meanwhile, in less than two weeks now, the federal government released fresh tranche of the Paris Club refund to the states and the release of statutory allocations for November to the three ties of government. Although, the payment began in December 2016 with the release of about N522.74bn to all 36 states in the first tranche of the Paris Club refund. And the federal government later in July 2017 released N243.8bn,

as the second tranche. But the report has it that the federal government began release of Paris Club refunds, following protests by states against over deductions for external debt service between 1995 and 2002. And in December 2017 alone, FAAC had distributed a whopping N1, 142.716trn to the three tiers of government asides the last tranche of the Paris Club Refund paid to 27 states within the same period. Reacting to this development in an exclusive telephone chat with our correspondent, President, Institute for Service Excellence & Good Governance, Tope Fasua, said: “The case is just that some governors are saying that the federal

government of Nigeria in many years ago in 1992 to 2005, deducted too much money from the then state governments account.” According to him, as they were deducting the money at the end of the day, Paris Club wrote off a certain amount, of course they were charging punitive rate at some point but they wrote off certain amount. “So, the first thing is that, if Paris Club was giving us new inflow of dollars, realizing they have over charged us and they are refunding us, that would be a different treatment, but in this instance, the Paris club has no business to what is

going, they have cleared the account. “You will find out that Nigeria is actually owing Paris Club about $290m now. So, there’s nothing like they are owing us or refunding us anything”, he added. The economic expert added that the issue will now be if there had been deduction by the Federal Government under 1992 in the military era into partly the civilian era under former President Olusegun Obasanjo up to 2005, if they had deducted money in excess from these state governors; and they are now repaying, that is the money that was deducted 14 years ago.

and Dubai passengers of Med-view Airlines on Thursday morning took over the airlines check-in counter and disrupted the airline’s activities over allegations of contractual breach. The passengers claimed they have been stranded due to the airline’s inability to airlift them to their destinations all through the Yuletide. The aggrieved passengers marched to Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Consumer Protection Department desk to complain about the seeming abandonment. Some of the passengers who spoke to The Daily Times claimed they ought to have flown out of the country to their destination, London, since December 24 , the Christmas Eve, but have been stranded since then without any concrete travel plan from the airline and no plan for restitution. Dubai passengers too joined the fray as some of them said they had a flight for one of which they could not ascertain whether or not it would fly especially as they were passengers from Monday’s Dubai flight that were equally stranded.

The passengers, while blaming the airline’s poor services, claimed that they have lost one thing or the other due to the ‘unwarranted delay’ of their travel. The airline has on December 24, released a statement blaming their inability to airlift their passengers on adverse weather and technical issues only to be strafed with a barrage of reactions from angry passengers who insist the airline is taking them for a ride. A passenger who spoke to our reporter said,”I don’t know when the cancelled flight of December 24 has been scheduled. I haven’t received any update , no emails, no text messages either, “she lamented. We have not received any updates or confirmation from the company, Medview. Only word of mouth from equally stressed passengers saying there will be a flight, but this is not official from Medview; and so is uncertain” Another passenger said,” This is a joke.

NNPC, DPR intensify raids on errant fuel stations Continued from page 5 visits to fuel stations across Abuja suspected to be involved in hoarding petroleum products. The raid, which was facilitated by the operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), led to the clampdown of a notorious fuel outlet in the Kubwa District of the FCT caught selling petrol at the rate of N250 per litre, a price well above the approved retail pump price of N145/litre. The NNPC GMD prompt-

ly ordered an on-the-spot dispensing of the remaining product in the storage tank free to motorists in conformity with the extant sanction for such misdemeanour. Addressing journalists after the exercise, Baru noted that in line with its mandate as supplier of last resort, the NNPC would continue to work with relevant stakeholders, like the DPR and Civil Defence Corps, to quickly end the prevailing hardships faced by Nigerians in accessing petrol nationwide.

The GMD added that with the recent directive by the Presidency for the security agencies to tighten the noose on smuggling of petroleum products, the issues of cross-border activities and diversion of products would be curtailed, thus allowing Nigerians to benefit from the massive injection of fuel into the system being undertaken by the NNPC within the last few weeks. In a related development, the NNPC has announced the temporary suspension of products dispensing ac-

tivities at its mega station on Lagos Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, due to a fire incident, which occurred near the station. The fire resulted from a Toyota Camry car which exploded outside the station after the product was dispensed into an extra inbuilt locally fabricated tank designed to siphon fuel. Though the fire did not affect the station, the corporation noted that it was imperative to suspend operations to enable security agencies to clear the resultant traffic situation at the

scene. But in a bid to end the ongoing fuel crisis and the untold hardship it is currently unleashing on Nigerians, Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has directed the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) to cut short its recess and immediately convene a meeting with industry stakeholders. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Senator Kabiru Marafa, who disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday, said following the directive, the committee has summoned the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, Baru and other relevant stakeholders in the petroleum sector to a crucial meeting on Thursday, January 4, 2018. He further added that the meeting, which will be held in the Senate Hearing Room 221; and its proceedings aired live on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), is meant to address the lingering fuel scarcity bedeviling the nation in the last few weeks with a view to puting a complete stop to it. The Senate, which is currently on Christmas and New Year break, is billed to resume committee work for budget defence on January 9, and commence Plenary on January 16. M e a n w h i l e , Kachikwu,mhas denied the

rumour making the round about his involvement in forwarding a memo to President Muhammadu Buhari, stating the obvious in the causes of fuel scarcity and how to address the challenge. In a press statement made available to The Daily Times by his Chief Press Secretary, Idang Alibi, Kachikwu said that this is not the first time the media has peddled a rumour about him being involved with a similar issue. The statement reads in part, “Our attention has been drawn to a message making the rounds on social media of a purported memo by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, to the President on the fuel crises. The message and it’s content are false. “This is not a time for diversionary issues as the petroleum sector is dealing with a serious national issue. We are focused on collaboratively finding an urgent solution to this crisis.” According to Alibi, the minister of state continues to monitor the current fuel situation and to work with the NNPC and the DPR to continue to execute already communicated ministerial directives to maximally flood the market with products, prevent and penalize any sabotage attempts at diversion by any culprit.

they haven’t sent any confirmation” It also appears Dubaibound passengers have been affected as the airline’s Lagos -Dubai flight scheduled to take off by one was yet to board as at 30minutes to the flight time. It was further observed that the airline’s counters were bare while agitated passengers from a lot of combined flights were eagerly waiting for word on their flights, word according to one of the passengers, that has not come. She explained that no one was there to talk to them and that all attempts to reach the airline’s official quarters have proved abortive. As at 12:30pm, London

bound passengers got reprieve when an airline official appeared with a list for those travelling as they were being endorsed to fly on Ethiopian Airlines, Kenyan Airways and Rwand Air. While a Dubai passenger provided a text message sent from Med-view that the flight has been rescheduled to 2am on the 29th due to operational reasons and regretted all the inconveniences Meanwhile, the airline yesterday explained the reason for its delayed flight out of London, Gatwick, stating that the airline had to deal with an Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situation compounded by the holidays and other uncomplimentary factors that have made the situation linger.

The airline, in a statement issued from the United Kingdom by Mr. Michael Ajigbotosho, the Chief Operating Officer/ Accountable Manager (COO/AM), stated that the aircraft had to embark on an air return as part of safety measures. He also stated that the airline had got approval for three aircraft to airlift at least 700 passengers but for the unruly behavior of some passengers which made Border Force wade in and eventually only two of the flights could leave. The statement explained the airline’s dilemma,”Our flight VL 2101 out of London to Lagos on Friday December, 22 which has about 300 passengers on board returned back to Gatwick after de-

parture as a precautionary measure taken by the Pilot- in – Command (PiC) in line with Aviation Standard and Recommended Practices.” “This led to cancellation of the flight as the aircraft was declared AOG (Aircraft On Ground). The passengers were catered for, they were lodged in a hotel and those who decided to go back home were also taken care of. “After the aircraft was declared AOG, we had to wait for a maintenance report. The aircraft had to remain on ground until a certified expert carried out the necessary checks and certify that the aircraft is airworthy. And the holiday compounded the problem.” “In line with that confirmation, we decided to seek

for a relief flight and tried as much as possible go get the approval from both the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Nigeria and the CAA of United Kingdom in Gatwick. We attest to their full cooperation and we appreciate them. “We announced to operate three flights feeling the concern of all our passengers. On Wednesday December 27, we positioned three aircraft after securing the approval of the CAA including Nigerian authority. “Disappointingly, due to the unruly behaviour of some Nigerian passengers, the Border Force had to intervene to support the operations for crowd control purposes. “These three aeroplanes would have evacuated 700 passengers which would

have normalized the situation. But the passengers neither understood or knew the challenges ahead which resorted into having a delayed operation and crew rest and we ended up operating two flights out of three. “We use this medium to appeal to our Nigerian customers. As much as we appreciate their patronage and apologize for the experience they went through this Christmas, we seek for their understanding to know that their safety comes first before any other thing. “We feel their concern and the expectations of meeting their families for the Christmas Holiday. Our normal flights resume on Friday for London, Dubai and Jeddah. “

Bello who was represented by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Christian Chinyeaka Ohaa made the announcement as part of FCT’s effort to help reform the Nigerian prisons and to help those inmates who

may have had no helper. Bello said, ‘’We are paying this court fines for these inmates as part of the FCT contributions to prison decongestion in the territory, we are also using the gesture to assist the less privileged inmates to become free citizens as we know that they may be left in prison for longer times because they have no one to assist them’’. The Minster said that the FCT administration has concluded plans to build a world class children and Youth Prison that will take care of the youths any time they are convicted. ‘’We have concluded arrangements to build a world class Children and Youth Prison, we are also going to build a booster Institute that would serve as counselling and rehabilitation centre that would reshape our youths and children’’. In his remarks, the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on decongestion of Prison Reforms, Justice, Ishaq Bello expressed gratitude for the FCT gestures in bailing out the young ones, the vulnerable from the hands of the Law. Justice Bello who incidentally is also the FCT Chief Judge said that if completed, the proposed children and Young people’s prison will go a long way to change the perception of the youths from being wayward and irresponsible in the society to become better citizens of the country. “it is not that the minister paid for the people who could not pay for their release but he has also agreed to establish children and youth centre in the FCT. We are happy to announce that this is only happening in the FCT among other states and that should be a very big rehabilitation centre. It will certainly be an extension of the prison and what we intend to archive is to bring those who sleep under the bridges there instead of littering the streets. In the plan we should be having psychologists, counsellors and other important child trainers and after they will be reintegrated with the family’. Justice Ishaq, expressed gratitude while thanking the Minister for the gesture for building the booster centre, which he said is going to be of world class centre and should be commissioned before the end of 2018”.

ÎÎÎ Indications have start-

ed to emerge on how George Weah emerged president of Liberia after a re run with the serving Vice President, Joseph Boakai, this was coming as the country’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf powers the transition committee for smooth transfer of power on 31st December 2017. Local news report showed that Weah as at Thursday before official announcement of the rerun election had in the separate released results, garnered 65.6 per cent votes, while Boakai had 41.88 per cent.

From Margibi County, progressive tally of votes from Tuesday’s runoff Presidential election placed the leader of the opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) Senator George Manneh Weah in a giant lead ahead of Unity Party (UP) Standard Bearer Vice President Joseph Boakai in the homeland of his vice running mate, House Speaker James Emmanuel Nyumah. According to agency report, the National Elections Commission (NEC) Magisterial Office in Kakata, Margibi County Wednesday, December 27, 2017, began tallying votes in the presence of political parties’ observers, international ob-

servers from the European Union, US Embassy, National Democratic Institute, Carter Center and members of the Liberian media. The progressive counting of votes from 160 polling places out of 382 polling places put Senator Weah ahead of his opponent with 24,054 constituting 65.6% ahead of the Unity Party (UP) Standard Bearer Joseph Nyuma Boakai with 12,606 constituting 34.4% of the total 36,660 votes (41.88%). Fumba Swaray, NEC magistrate in the county announced that the consolidated tally report will be provided by the national tally center at the NEC headquarters in Monrovia.

He, however, praised the electorates of the five political districts of Margibi County for peacefully turning out to vote, adding that citizens should embrace each other no matter the winner of the process.

Aare Ona Kakanfo designate, on Thursday, again reiterated the calls for the restructuring of Nigeria as a nation. Otunba Adam said for the country to witness any meaningful development must be decentralized for each region to tap from its own abundant resources. He maintained this while speaking with some journalists shortly after visiting Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the foremost leader of the Afenifere, Pan Yoruba Socio-cultural group in Akure, the capital of Ondo state. Adams also faulted the 1999 Nigerian Constitution noting that its content was biased and does not represent the main wishes of the people of the country. He observed that the book of law which was drafted by some few military men cannot continue to hold the existence of the country despite calls for its review. The Aare Ona Kakanfo designate who was in company of Oba Yisa Olanipekun, the Zaki of Arigidi Akoko, said he was in the house of the Afenifere leader to also seek his prayer and fatherly advice. “I’m here to visit the main socio-cultural group in Yoruba land, the political arrow head which is Afenifere in Yoruba land. The pacesetters, our leaders, those we can say have very strong antecedents. “We are talking of those who have started this struggle in the 40s, those who built a standard that every living Yoruba man is proud of. “You can’t get to a position like this without visiting Afenifere, there is a vacuum in your success without visiting them, because of the very good antecedents.

Trailing Education, the Governor announced allocation of N22.6 billion for construction of major roads, drainage and boosting transport through the State Ministry of Works and Transport, N17.7 billion for Healthcare infraand other related needs, N9.8 billion to complete reconstruction of destroyed communities, rehabilitation and resettlement of

victims of insurgency while N8 billion was set aside for Agriculture. Other sectors got different range of allocations that were less than the listed sectors. The Governor recalled that “during the 2017 fiscal year, the State Government made deliberate efforts to reconstruct or rehabilitate all the major institutional structures and residential buildings in the various Local Government Areas which were wantonly destroyed by the insurgents”. “ I am happy to announce that most of the

schools, health centres and residential houses in some of the Local Governments destroyed during the insurgency, have been reconstructed and services fully restored. These Local Governments include Konduga, Damasak, Dikwa, Askira/Uba, Kaga and Mafa. Also IDPs from these Local Governments as well as those from Damboa, Ngala and Monguno, have been safely returned to their homes. To ensure that these IDPs are engaged in some economic ventures, the State Government, during the period under review has un-

dertaken the training of the youths and women in skills acquisition and also provided them with entrepreneurship kits and farm inputs. Building materials have also been distributed to some of the IDPs to rebuild their homes” he noted. The Governor gave listed numerous areas of achievements recorded by his administration in 2017, with specific mention of schools, roads, hospitals and houses constructed in addition to what was achieved in Agriculture, humanitarian needs amongst other areas.

Stakeholders in the administration of justice Thursday sought for financial independence for the judiciary, stating that the amount of credit standing to the arm should be paid directly to the Heads of court from the Consolidated Revenue Fund in line with Section 121 (3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended. This was the issue can-

vassed by the panel of discussants at the opening ceremony of the Law week of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Oleh branch in Delta State with the Theme: “Judicial Autonomy As Basis for Effective Justice Administration and Social Order,’ held at Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. The State Chief Judge, Justice Marchal Umukoro who chaired the occasion, posited that while it is the

constitutional responsibility of the executive to lay the budget before the National Assembly or the Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA) as the case may be, there should be safeguards to ensure that the financial needs of the Judiciary were reflected in the budget and that the approved finances were released to the third arm of government. Justice Umukoro explained that the greatest challenge confronting the judiciary was

not financial autonomy, but the quality of judicial officers, stressing that the quality of law degree was no guarantee of a good judge. He maintained that for persons to qualify to be appointed to the Bench, he or she must have the fear of God, honest, stable marital background and be abreast with trendy events of legal scene and society. He commended the leadership of the National Judicial Council (NJC) for ensuring stringent measures to select-

ing suitable materials for the Bench, even as he charged legal practitioners, especially the human rights section of the NBA to offer free legal representation to indigent members of the society. The Keynote Speaker, Chief Albert Akpomudje SAN, who focused on procedure, conducting court business and reporting, advocated for radical innovation in the Nigerian Legal System, in line with what is tenable in the United Kingdom, stating that it was high time we dis-

pensed with the wig and gown in civil proceedings, considering the hot weather, court size and inadequate ventilation in court rooms. Chief Akpomudje who is also a life Bencher in his keynote address entitled: ‘Improvement of the system of Administration of Justice, its procedures and Arrangement of Court Business and Regular Law Reporting; highlighted the importance of amending some aspects of the Civil procedure Rules such as pretrial conference

Electoral offence trial: Ex-Edo Gov Osunbor faults NHRC Henry Omunu, Abuja

ÎÎÎ A former governor of

Edo state, Senator Osarheimen Osunbor has faulted a preliminary objection raised by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) challenging the jurisdiction of a Federal High Court, Abuja, in hearing a case of alleged electoral offence preferred against him by the rights commission. Osunbor in a statement released in Abuja, said that the commission was incompetent to review the judgment of a court or tribunal. According to him, the

Federal High Court in Abuja had on December 15, 2017, held that the NHRC breached his fundamental human rights to fair hearing when the commission indicted him for committing electoral offences. Our reporter recalls that the commission had in a report released in April 2014 and August 2016 indicted the former governor and other persons for electoral offences and recommended their prosecution by the Attorney General of the Federation. However, the Federal High Court, Abuja quashed the indicting report by de-

claring it ultra vires, null and void, saying that the NHRC has no powers to investigate electoral offences as stipulated under the Electoral Act. The court also said that the commission was bound to comply with the provisions of Section 36 of the constitution as it is not competent to review the judgment of a competent court of law or tribunal so as to arrive at a different conclusion. “Rather than defend their report, the rights commission had raised preliminary objection that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case because they

had not been given pre-action notice. “The Court of Appeal in a unanimous decision in June this year rejected this argument and held that the commission is not entitled to pre-action notice under its enabling Act. This paved the way for the case to be heard on its merit and I have been vindicated,’’ Osunbor said. He added that the case has exposed the paradox that “whereas the commission was established to protect the human rights of citizens, it has turned itself into a violator of the human rights of Nigerians. “Instead of acknowl-

edging the error when this was brought to their attention, show remorse and apologise, they arrogantly carried on trying to defend the indefensible at great expense to the public purse. “They raised one objection after another, including repeatedly seeking adjournments, all in futile efforts to deny, obstruct or frustrate the pursuit of my fundamental human rights,’’ the ex-governor maintained.. He therefore urged the National Assembly to revisit the Public Officers Protection Act, arguing that it confers immunity

APC wants Nigerians to pray for Buhari’s son

Bassey Willie, Uyo

Tom Okpe, Abuja

ÎÎÎ Deputy National Pub-

licity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has called on Nigerians, most especially the youths, to pray for the quick recovery of Yusuf Buhari, the son of President Muhammadu Buhari. The President’s son was on Tuesday night involved in a bike accident in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where he sustained a head injury and had one of his limbs broken. Timi Frank expressed his sympathy over the accident in Abuja on Thursday calling on Nigerians, most especially the politicians to set aside their political, religion or ethnic differences at the moment to remember the first family in prayers saying; “if it is well with the first family, it will be surely well with Nigeria as a country. “To pray for the wellbeing of our leaders and their family members is a responsibility expected of us the followers. The Holy Books made us to understand that no leader can emerge without the permission of God Almighty. So, we all have a duty because the first family is the symbol of our nation”, he said. While justifying the need for the prayers, Frank said what happened to Yusuf Buhari could happen to anybody, hence “the need to please remember him and the entire family in prayers”, he added.

on persons and institutions which often enables them to avoid legal liability for their wrongdoing. “These laws simply encourage impunity by public officers without them harbouring any fear of a personal loss or detriment. This immunity is a relic from the colonial era when they were used to shield colonial public officers from legal action. “They have no justification in modern society and should be scrapped. This will make the NHRC and others to sit up and behave as responsible organisations. They are not above the law,” Osunbor said.

KWCIDA lifts 16 communities with N34m Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

ÎÎÎ

Kwara State Community and Social Development Agency (KWCSDA) Thursday presented a cheque of N34 million naira to 16 community beneficiaries of the World Bank assisted Community Development Projects in Kwara State. The 16 communities were spread across 8 Local governments in Kwara North, Central and South bringing the total number of benefiting communities to 104 in 2017. Presenting the cheque to the beneficiaries, the state Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed represented by the Commissioner for Planning and Economic Development, Alhaji Wasiu Odewale charged the communities to use the money

for intended purpose. “I charge you all to please expend the money judiciously for the purpose intended by executing your desires projects as approved by the Agency The judicious and prudence use of this first tranche will enhance the release of the second tranche. I also charge you members of the community project management committee (CPMC) and sub-committees to play the roles of the game, in order not to run afoul of the laid down procedures to avoid its attendant consequences. As you will be embarking on the execution of your choice projects for the community, please go about it peaceful in love with a unity of purpose, for the love of God and humanity,” he said. Speaking with journalists at the ceremony, the Managing director of the KWCIDA,

Alhaji Yahaya Ahmed said that the projects were carried out based on the choices of the communities in the areas of electricity, water, erosion control, education, health, environment and Natural resources, transport and socio-economic intervention activities. He said the communities were selected based on the poverty map of the State being the poorest in Alhaji Yahaya listed the Local Governments to include Edu, Moro and Kaiama from Kwara North, Ilorin West and Asa in Kwara Central and Offa, Oke-Ero and Isin in Kwara South. He disclosed that a total of N83 million is to be disbursed for the project out of the first tranche of N34 million was disbursed yesterday. Speaking further, the acting GM recalled that the

State governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed had in 2015 released the sum of N50 million as mandatory fees to facilitate the project. He announced that the governor has also approved another N50 million two weeks ago to facilitate the second tranche disbursement. “With this we have been able to draw over N600 million from the World Bank and hoping that by 2018 we should be able to draw N800 million.” Speaking on the challenges confronting the Agency in carrying out its assignment, the acting MD identified the inability of some benefiting communities to pay their 10 percent community contribution as a major factor slowing down the project.

It was a time of celebration and encouragement that there is ability in any disability, as Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel hosted a party to celebrate the yuletide with persons with disabilities in the state. The event which coincided with the 2017 International Day of Persons with Disabilities in the state, also witnessed presentation of gift items and starter packs for some of them to start business. The Governor, through the state Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare also presented four tricycles, sewing machines and five barbing equipment to crippled persons to start business. Also, wheelchairs, crutches and recorders were also given to many c ripple and blind persons. The celebration which had as it theme: “Transformation towards sustainable and resilient society for all” had in attendance hundreds of blind, dump, crippled and other physical challenged persons who gathered at Ibom Hall along IBB Avenue, Uyo for the State Government Party. Governor Emmanuel who was represented at the occasion by his deputy, Mr Moses Ekpo urged the physically challenged to see their present condition as the work of God, who knows better than man. The governor said: “Let me remind every one of you here that there is excellence in every man created by God, no matter the condition, so I want to urge every one of you to explore the excellence that God has exhibited in you.”

Buhari has no hand in Kano APC crisis —Presidency . Stories by Patrick Okohue The Presidency has warned everyone associating it or President Muhammadu Buhari with the recent removal of the Chairman of Kano chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Umar Doguwa, to desist from doing so, as it has nothing to do with the politics of the state. Giving the warning in a statement in Abuja, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu described as false, the allegation that Buhari was behind the removal of the erstwhile APC chairman in Kano State. The presidential aide was reacting to the allegations made at a press conference in Kano by a political support group “Concerned Members of the APC in Kano State”. He stated that at no time did the President involve himself in the internal conflict of any APC chapter in the country, and would never do so. “President Buhari would not risk his integrity to support one side against the other in the affairs of the APC or any other political party anywhere in the country. “Anybody who knows the President’s principles would not believe any allegation linking him (Buhari) to interference in

BUHARI the election or removal of party leaders across the country.” He noted that Buhari was accused in the past of not taking control of the National Assembly by imposing some people on the legislature as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives. Shehu said that it was ironical that the President would now be accused of abandoning those principles to order the removal of the chairman. “I am 100 per cent convinced that this group, which is being associated with the respected

senator representing Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, did not seek his permission before dragging President Buhari’s name into this matter. “Kwankwaso knows President Buhari too well to reduce him to this level,” he said. The presidential aide therefore advised the group to stop belittling the person and office of the president by dragging his name into their local party quarrels. He added that it was unfair to attack the President over an issue he knew nothing about.

Obiano has no intention of contesting against Buhari in 2019 The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), has provided reasons why Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State will not be contesting against President Muhammadu Buhari come 2019 presidential election. Speaking with a national newspaper, the National Chairman of APGA, Dr Victor Oye, said that Obiano was not contesting the 2019 presidential poll because the party was targeting to win the remaining South-East states. He said that the recent reports linking Obiano to 2019 presidential campaign were fallacious and designed to pitch him against his admirers and scuttle

his administration. He said, “That is ridiculous. The governor holds his colleagues and, indeed, any other person for that matter in high esteem. For the whole period I have

known the governor he has never been associated with vainglory, undignified utterances or uncouth words. “There was no time the governor told anybody, dead or alive, that he would want to run for the presidency.” He said being the national chairman of the party, he should have known about such an ambition before it would be made public. He stressed that the party’s support for President Muhammadu Buhari was “because of the urgent need to work collectively to heal the wounds of the nation and build an egalitarian and just society for the present and future generations.”

Stakeholders in Mosan-Okunola endorse Ambode for second term Iniobong Iwok

As the 2019 political race gathers momentum, political Stakeholders within the All Progressive Congress (APC), in Mosan-Okunola Local Council Development Area (LCDA), in Lagos State, have thrown their weights behind the second term bid of incumbent Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Abode. In a meeting of stakeholders held at Lagule Primary School, Waterside Mosan, which included party members, officials and some elected political office holders in the council recently, they noted that the council would work assiduously for the victory of the governor, while calling for total support from the public for the success of the bid. A top official of the APC in the council who spoke

with The Daily Times on condition of anonymity said inspite of rumoured recent disagreement between the governor and the council over sharing of positions in the CDA it has decided to stick with the governor and support his second term bid. He stressed that the issues between the governor and the council had been resolved, stressing that the recent meeting was to declare this position. He said “We have declared our support for the second term bid of Ambode, he merits it considering his performance. There had been disagreement between the governor and the council over some positions, but that has been resolved and we are solidly behind him for a second term and that meeting on Sunday was held to make our position known,” the sources said.

Newly registered AGA threatens to unseat Buhari, zones presidency to N/East …V/P to South East

Newly registered political party All Grassroots

Alliance (AGA) has threatened to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections. The party said it plans to achieve this by fielding a presidential candidate from the North-Eastern part of the country, in the presidential election come 2019. Prof. Yekinni Salimonu, the National Publicity Secretary of the party who said this in a statement he issued in Abuja also said the party would seek its vice-president from the South-Eastern part of the country. “We have observed that in the last 50 years, the NorthEastern and South-Eastern parts of the country had no opportunity to produce civilian presidents,” he observed. He said the party held emergency national ex-

ecutive committee’s meeting after its registration at the party secretariat in Gwagwalada, Abuja on Dec. 22, where some decisions were taken. Salimonu said the party agreed to adopt indirect primaries for nomination of presidential and governorship candidates. “AGA will, by referendum, promote modified presidential system with single legislative chamber, and a six-year single tenure for president and governors. “The new system will not accommodate constituency projects, while professional support staff will be on part time,” he said. Dr Olukayode Oshiariyo, National Chairman of AGA was quoted in the statement as saying that the party would promote the unity and indivisibility of the country, co-existence of constituents’ geo-political zones and ensuring that minority interest was protected.

My mission to Reps by medical doctor

Patrick Okohue

Politics in Nigeria today is mostly seen as an avenue for amassing wealth for the political office holder. It is also generally believed that getting involved in Nigerian politics is only for self serving purposes. However for Dr. Arinze Madueke, politics is all about service to humanity. For him, the only way to provide service to the downtrodden is to give them quality education, to develop their capacity to think for themselves and draw from the unlimited well of greatness within. Dr. Madueke, a Medical Doctor by training, an entrepreneur per excellence and a serial philanthropist, hails from Ukpor, in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State. He clearly stands out in the congregation of indigenes of Anambra State, who have distinguished themselves in different spheres of life. Madueke, popularly called Okaka, is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Zidora Group. A multi million, multiple brand business he founded a few years ago. At 33, Dr. Madueke is no doubt one of Nigeria’s most successful entrepreneur. He is a man of many parts; one who does not waste time in extending assistance to

the needy, irrespective of religion or ethnicity. His philanthropic gestures are loud and speak volumes about his commitment to quality education and his stance as an apostle of pragmatic leadership. Dr. Arinze is a moral instructor and believer in living a good legacy for the younger generation to emulate. His passion has driven him at an early stage to several community projects and social responsibility. In turn, he has been recognised severally by different establishments for his selfless services. He has also received so many awards from various parastals, corporate organisations, the Nigeria Police Force, schools, among others, most importantly, he has remained committed to the service of mankind. Dr. Arinze easily comes across as a source of motivation and inspiration to many, as an innovative entrepreneur; one who is constantly looking for new ways to solve old problems, there is surely many things one, especially young people, can learn from him. His Zidora Group has various subsidiaries such as; Zidora Travel and Tour, Zidora Real Estate and Realtors, Zidora Agricultural and Food Services, Zidora Medicals, Zidora Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals Limited and Zidora

Ex-lawmaker, others defect to APC in Ondo ‘Tosin Ajuwon, Akure A former member of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Hon Fola Olaseinde, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State. Mrs. Olasehinde defected on Wednesday alongside a renowned businessman, Mr. Olayato Aribo at Ose Local Government Area of the state. The duo had left the APC while in the opposition for the Alliance for Democracy (AD) during the electioneering period leading to the 2016 governorship poll in the state. Governor Rotimi Akeredolu received the two decampees and commended them for retracing their step back to the party. Mr. Akeredolu said that the party was prepared to welcome other members who left the party but willing to return. Both Olayato and Olaseinde appreciated the governor for accepting them back to the party with a promise to work for its progress. Meanwhile, despite the internal crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, the ruling party has kept receiving defectors to its fold. The new defectors numbering

over two hundred were received into the party by its Acting Chairman, Ade Adetimehin at Ilara Mokin in Ifedore Area of the state. Speaking, Adetimehin said that the party is open and there is room for all, adding that the leaders will always apply the principles of equity and fairness in relating with its members. He noted that the exemplary leadership qualities of the leaders of the party even in Ifedore has further strengthens its fold thereby making it the envy of other political parties in the state. Earlier, the Commissioner for Health in the state, Wahab Adegbenro advised the new decampees to shun all anti party activities and work hard for the progress of the ruling APC in the state. Dr. Adegbenro who is also an APC leader in Ifedore area assured all the defectors who are mostly from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state of a free level playing ground. Segun Boboye, the APC local government chairman in Ifedore urged the decampees to the party to conduct themselves morally and make good impact by contributing to the progress and development of the ruling government in the state.

Madueke Consults Nigeria Limited, among other business interests. He is one man you must meet at least once in your lifetime to understand the true meaning of humanity. He is an outstanding Philanthropist of his generation who started giving even when he had

little. Much of his philanthropic activities are carried out through a Non-Governmental, Non-profit charity organisation he founded; Zidora Aid Foundation, ZAF. ZAF is a not for profit charity organisation, doing fantastic work with the disabled, the less privi-

leged, and Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs. With his background, exposure and experience both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, Dr. Arinze Madueke’s decision to venture into partisan politics is worth welcoming with both hands and an open mind. His decision to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives in 2019 is certainly good for Nigerian politics. Here is a person, who is not just a young Nigeria, but also has what it takes to deliver modern governance to his constituents. He is a card- carrying member of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and come 2019, he is determined to deliver quality representation to the people of Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, when he emerges winner of that contest on his APGA party platform. Speaking on his ambition, Dr. Madueke noted that his decision to veer into the murky waters of Nigerian politics is to deliver unmatched representation to his constituents, correct governmental/official impunity, develop a responsive system of representation, speak the mind of his people, and use other legislative instruments to profitable advantage, in a bid to directly.

Group charges NASS on timely passage of 2018 Budget Patrick Okohue A call has gone out to the National Assembly to desist from holding Nigerians to ransom through its high handedness in the way and manner they handle budget issues. Making the call in a statement, a Kano based pro-democracy organisation, The Northern Agenda (TNA), also charged Nigerians to rise up and condemn the parliament’s annual antics of causing budget passage delay. In the statement which was signed by the National Chairman of the group, Mallam Abubakar Ibrahim, the group said, “Unless the people show their displeasure over the anti-development attitude, the country will continue to nose dive into more hardship,” the statement stated. The organisation further observed with dismay that, “our highly respected representatives, who were voted to protect our collective interests in Abuja have turned out to be our albatross, whose antics are retrogressive rather than progressive.” According to the group, the stock in trade of the Federal lawmakers is “using the budget passage to get to the jugular of the executive all in the name of performing oversight functions and thereby pinning down the country’s desired economic and po-

litical growth.” The TNA also frowned at what it called the recent embarrassment meted out to the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), when defending his ministry’s budget, wondering how a Minister that has just passed an Integrity Performance Test of various respectable Rights Organisations across the nation could be subjected to such humiliation. The group, which said it suspects that the attitude of the lawmakers amounts to opposition induced sentiments, therefore called on Nigerians to caution the legislators over their alleged annual rituals of holding the country to ransom hiding under their oversight functions. The TNA also cited an instance of the 2018 budget presented to the members by President Muhammadu Buhari which it said is toeing the same path of unnecessary delay, pointing out that, “only Nigerians’ collective intervention can save the country from another round of delay in passage of budget.” “Our prompt collective intervention can guarantee the expected growth and required development that President Muhammadu Buhari desired by presenting the document very early. And it is our candid belief that our honourable members in the House, who we hold

Saraki in high esteem, would be patriotic enough to assist the President, nay, the whole country to achieve the desired goal of early passage. “We are neither intimidating nor inciting the populace against our honourable representatives in whom we repose our confidence, just as we are not against proper scrutiny of the document for the good of all of us. What we are after is a robust synergy between the executive and the legislative arm of government for the benefit of all and sundry,” the statement concluded.

The worth of economic summits

hen the first Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) was held in Abuja in February 1993, little did the organisers know that economic summit will one day snowball into an idea that is widely accepted across the country. Today, families, corporate bodies, states and the federal government have embraced the idea and they regularly organise their economic summits. For state governments, the purpose of economic summits is usually to expose to local and foreign investors the investment opportunities that abound in their states, the enabling environment in place that would make investments thrive in the state and to invite such investors to invest there. Recently, the Niger State Government organised a two-day economic summit to market the state’s economic potential to investors. Tagged “Impact Investment for Advancing Agricultural Economy and Innovation,” the summit attracted economic experts, industrialists, manufacturers and some state governors across the country. It was organised to attract investors in various fields to boost the state’s economy. Judging from the interest shown by investors at the summit there is no doubt that the state is poised to become an agricultural giant among the states in the country. Niger State is certainly a state to watch in the area of accelerated agricultural development in the next few years, a situation which made Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to declare that Niger State has the capacity to produce varieties of food crops that will feed African continent. Among other investors who showed interest in the state, the Dangote group is investing $450 million in the state to establish a large scale rice processing mill to process 200,000 metric tonnes of paddy rice and to establish a stateof-the-art fully integrated sugar refining industry in the state.

will also establish a state-of-the-art fully integrated sugar industry involving the development of 30,000 hectares of sugarcane plantation and the production of about 500,000 metric tonnes of refined sugar. Another company is to establish a N1.6 billion shea butter factory in Mokwa Local Government Area of the state and would engage about 10,000 workers. To attract the investors the state had put in place various enabling environment measures that would make businesses thrive. Towards this end the state has laws and agencies that encourage private sector participation in the development of the state’s economy. Key among such agencies is its One Stop Investment Centre which the state government uses to put forward to would-be investors its investment potential and priority areas of agriculture, solid minerals, tourism, transportation and energy. The example of Niger State’s success in wooing investors to the state so far is an eye opener and a pointer to the fact that where there is a will there is a way. It also shows that with a good vision and determined leadership every state in the country can successfully market its potential to investors and turn around the economic conditions of the state, the recession in the economy notwithstanding. Another example is Lagos State government which last year joined hands with Kebbi State to develop Kebbi’s rice fields. It was an instant success. The rice from that joint venture, among others, enabled the Lagos State government to bring down the price of rice in its markets. Going forward, state governments must know that they are in a healthy race for development of their economies. In doing so, they must learn that through healthy, positive competition, cooperation and learning from each other’s successes and failures, state governments can better develop their state’s economies and bring tremendous development to their people.

hristmas season is one of the most celebrated festivals in the world. The Christmas day marks the date of the virgin birth of the Saviour of it is a tradition that some airlines in Europe and other parts of the world don’t normally operate their international flights that day because they expect their cabins – crews and other ground/officials staff to spend the Christmas day with their families. It is a period that is characterised with high frequency of human movements through all forms of transportation including, roads, air, railways and waterways. Those who couldn’t travel for one reason or the other do make use of money transfer systems to send money to their loved ones. The courier – services operators are not left out of this pleasant rush hour/ period as their clients/ customers send goods in form of parcels and bulk items across to their family members and friends whom they couldn’t pay visits to because of other pressing demands. As a matter of fact, that is the time when most expatriates/foreigners send or repatriate money to their respective home countries. In addition, the characteristics of the period do encourage a lot of people to fix their social events within the season. And so it is very common to note that a lot of villages/towns in the African settings are agog with community festivals, wedding, burial and chieftaincy and house warming ceremonies. It is also a time when old friends, acquaintances and family members do meet with a lot of funfair. Unfortunately for most Nigerian commuters who desire to experi-

ence and share the love of this yuletide season with their loved ones in their home towns/villages, that is the same period that the monster called corruption decides to bare its fangs and bite deeper into the nation’s oil sector; thus dashing the hopes of these Nigerians and as a result prevent them from attending scheduled important social functions or enjoy the Christmas festive mood with their loved ones. Those who made it had to pay through their noses as the transport fares jerked up astronomically. A story was told of a man who wanted to travel from Abuja to Lagos. And on getting to the motor – park he was told that the transport fare has skyrocketed to N15,000 instead of the usual N6,000 – N9,000, (depending on the type of vehicle and park). The man therefore decided to transfer his transport fare through an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) to his family. Obviously, knowing the status of his account balance, the man might not want to risk a situation where he may get stranded on his return journey. In a similar circumstance, a brother/friend of mine who resides in Abuja informed me that he decided to cancel his scheduled trip to our hometown in Oyo state when he realized the status of his pocket after servicing his car and putting fuel into his car’s tank. He told me plainly that he would be stranded if he dare ventures to embark on the journey because he reasoned that he would find it difficult to get anyone in the town to borrow him money to facilitate his journey back to Abuja since he drives a big car in the reckoning of people at home. Even as at the time of writing this article, a liter of fuel/petrol sells for N400 per liter in Abuja Municipal!

And if the Federal Government do not remedy the situation within the next 48 or 72 hours, those who travelled out of their working – stations may be stranded; thus they may resort to borrowing or selling some of their personal effects like expensive phones, `i– pads, wrist – watches, etc to finance their return – journey back to their respective stations. A lot of transport operators and car owners may also be tempted to buy petrol into jerry – cans and put in their vehicle boots to avoid being stranded on the road – a situation/ practice that is very risky especially during this dry – season when fire can easily ignite at the drop of petrol on the exhaust pipes. To underscore the seriousness that the Federal Government attaches to the ongoing fuel – crisis, even President Muhammed Buhari, known for his taciturnity on crucial/burning national issues had to quickly issue a letter from his own office and not through the offices of any of his media aides or the enigmatic Minister of Information and Culture – Alhaji Lai Mohammed. And for the benefit of those who have not come across this crucial correspondence from Mr. President on the Social Media or in the mainstream media, his letter reads and we quote: “Dear Nigerians, the fuel scarcity being experienced nationwide is regrettable. I sympathize with all Nigerians, on having to endure needless fuel queues. I’m being regularly briefed, especially on the NNPC’s interventions to ensure that there is enough petrol available during this period and beyond. I have the NNPC’s assurance that the situation will improve significantly over the next few days, as new shipments and

supplies are distributed across the country. I have also directed the regulators to step up their surveillance and bring an end to hoarding and price inflation by marketers”. The President concludes his letter which he dated December 24, 2017on the eve of Christmas where he wrote, “ Let me also assure that the relevant agencies will continue to provide updates on the situation. I thank you all for your patience and understanding – Muhammed Buhari, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.’’ A very crucial point that can be noted from the above letter is Mr. President’s allegation that some marketers are hoarding the fuel product and arbitrarily inflating the price for their own selfish purposes against the nation’s discomfort- an unpatriotic practice which can spark off mass protests and national uproar against the Federal Government if the ugly situation is not quickly addressed on time. The President through his letter to the nation is saying the obvious and what is already known to the public. The responsibility now lies on the Federal Government to rise up to the challenge with a determination to curtail or stop these sharp corrupt practices among the marketers and ensure that the hoarded products in their petrol stations are sold to members of the public at the regulated price. In addition, some unscrupulous members of the public should be discouraged from storing–up petrol in their vehicle tanks, shops/offices or residences to avoid fire accidents.

Ambode has broken financial record, Obasa says it can be achieved

Mufutau Egberongbe

ince May 2015 when Governor Akinwunmi Ambode took over the mantle of leadership in Lagos, the state, for sure, has never witnessed a better last year. It is the end of 2018 and the state marches towards a new year. The governor knows this and has continued to maintain his passion to leave Lagos far better than how he met it. Silent, less talking and ever smiling, he broke a financial record never heard in the state since its creation. The governor got to the House of Assembly, read out a short and very concise budget speech that held everyone breathing anxiously. The governor knows how to suspend people till the end. He has done this with the many projects his administration has embarked upon. He waits to blow the trumpet when the result becomes positive. This was what he did on the floor of the chamber till he finally revealed the estimate. The budget of progress for 2018 is N1.046 trillion. Unprecedented. Again, for a governor who knows why he is in office as well as what his state needs, the budget was further broken into a recurrent of N347 billion and a capital expenditure of N699 billion.

You may want to know that the governor scored another milestone in the management of the state resources. In the last one year, the state did not borrow a dime. It only maintained what was borrowed in the past. What this translates to is that the resources for all the projects embarked upon by Ambode were part of what accrued to the state in terms of internally generated revenue and allocation from the centre (which is oftentimes nothing much to be excited about). How many state can match this feat? It is better to understand it this way: In the proposed budget, the estimated total revenue for 2018 stands at N897.423 billion of which N720.123 billion will be generated internally, while a total of N148.699 billion will be sourced through deficit financing within the medium term expenditure framework. So you see that with a round peg in a round hole, Lagos remains one of the only states that can survive in the country without allocations from the federal government. I am not sure any resident of Lagos needs to ask what the government did in 2017 in the area of infrastructure. Every area of the state has been touched. Is it deep down Aboru in Alimosho or upscale Lekki? A friend told me recently he visited Epe and almost forgot

the primary reason he was in the once sleepy town. “Epe is becoming a small London. You need to see the level of development going on there,” he said. For anyone who has not visited Lagos state in the last four years, I bet you that person would find it very difficult recognising Berger area today. To now think that these projects were executed without any borrowing speaks a lot about the person in charge of affairs in the state and those who he has surrounded himself with. Enter the Lagos state House of Assembly. This arm of government headed by Mudashiru Obasa has ensured, in the last two years, that the governor succeeds. At the inception of office, Obasa told some journalists that the paramount responsibility of the Assembly under his watch is ensuring the best environment for the governor to excel. Through these efforts, the House has been able to plug major holes and assisted, even though indirectly, to boost the state’s internally generated revenue. Obasa further reiterated his resolve to move at the speed required for the development of the state with Governor Ambode, when the latter presented the 2018 budget recently. This is why the budget would be passed shortly. It is currently bring examined by a committee of

competent hands. The governor continues to have the assurances of the House that his zeal, dreams and mission for the state will be achieved. The governor and Obasa do not doubt how the budget of N1.046 trillion could be achieved. The speaker has confirmed the state has the capacity just like Ambode shares same belief. The two officials have come a long way, starting from the lowest level of governance being the local government. The speaker was a councillor in 1999, while the governor started his career at the local government level too before moving to the state. The duo had been part of the modern Lagos policies charted by Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Hence they have both been students of the same school of thought Tinubuism. Again, Obasa was the chairman in charge of the committee on budget of the Assembly before becoming its speaker. On the other hand, Ambode has been and remains a finance guru leading the state to success on many fronts even when he was yet to become the governor. The budget will surely be achieved. Egberongbe is the special adviser to Speaker Mudashiru Obasa on political and legislative matters.

Sex and the perils of office

Conversation with Azu 040817

S ‘

It’s not unlikely that in the nottoo-distantfuture, women would be wearing a chip, as part of their normal fashion accessory; the same way police officers now wear body cameras in some countries. That would make any case of sexual predation tighter and the evidence even more formidable.

’

ex has always been a staple of US politics. In recent times, however, this subject has gripped that country in an interestingly

new way. After American voters ignored allegations of sexual misconduct against candidate Donald Trump by over one dozen women to elect him president, a rash of similar allegations continues to test the sensitivity of America’s prudish soul. Just before Christmas, Roy Moore, a conservative two-time judge of the Alabama Supreme Court, lost the Republican ticket for the US Senate, partly because of allegations of sexual misconduct, which he continued to deny. He’s opposed to gays and homosexuals and is also said not be fond of minorities and people of other faith, especially Muslims. Of all his transgressions, however, the one that haunted him most was the allegation of sexual misconduct by nearly one dozen women. A number of the women, who said they were then between the ages of 14 and 16, said Moore molested them when he was 32 and district attorney. Painting pictures that made Moore look more like the district randy goat than an attorney, it appeared that neither those whom he gave a lift in his car nor those who came to his office for counsel were safe from his predatory reach. While America was still digesting the Moore story, a radio presenter accused Democratic senator, Al Franken, of groping her while she was asleep in a military aircraft on a trip to Afghanistan. The picture of Franken lounging at the breasts of the presenter and grinning at the camera at the same time was truly Frankenstein; yet the senator said it was meant to be a joke. Before Moore and Franken, there was Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood super stud and multimillionaire who built a sprawling business empire as proof of his ingenuity but failed to keep his zip up or manage his testosterone. And there was also Ben Afleck, the Oscar-winning actor and director who was caught pants

Trump down as he was mocking the fallen Weinstein. Perhaps there was a time when America would have been nearly unanimous in condemning the sexual predators, swamping them in wave after wave of public outrage, as it happened in previous episodes involving Elliot Spitzer in 2008 or Gary Hart nearly a decade earlier. In his own case, Bill Clinton rebounded, but only by the skin of his teeth. Today’s America is different, very different. Trump will get away with a Lewinsky, unscathed and tweet about the act the next day. With a sexual-predator-in-chief as president, there appears to be a shift toward a benign, even benevolent, attitude to sexual misconduct. While the Moore-Franken case lasted, for example, Trump was quick to mock Franken for lecturing about morality when his hands were not clean, insisting that it was up to Alabama voters to decide Moore’s fate. And believe it or not, there were many who insisted that Moore lost not because of the sex scandals but because voters didn’t like the fact that he had been removed from office twice and was fiddling with funds from his religious charity. While the liberal media are scratching their heads over the morality of the Trumpian age, the motives of the victims or the “Me-tooers” – women who come out after the first allegation of sexual misconduct has been made – have come under severe scrutiny. If they were too weak, afraid and vulnerable at the time of the incident, why did they wait until decades later – often until the alleged perpetrators are on the verge of a watershed moment in their careers – be-

fore coming out? What real risk did a radio presenter, for example, face in coming out to speak up against a predator at the time of the incident? A number of the victims have said they’re not coming out from a vindictive motive or for the money. They just want to bring closure to a very difficult period in their lives and hope that by coming out other victims may also find the strength in numbers to come out and be truly healed. A country that elected Trump as president – warts and all – and which in fact believes that the warts are largely a creation of the spiteful liberal media, can hardly be expected to take latter-day confessions of sexual harassment seriously. That does not mean that the younger generation of Americans, especially blacks and other minority males, are not learning any lessons. As attitudes that used to be regarded as “normal” display of masculinity in social relationships are being called to question, men would have to reset amorous boundaries or risk crossing a dangerous line. The Bukar Ibrahims in Nigeria’s Senate do not have to worry about this trend. When the Deputy British Prime Minister, Damian Green, was forced to resign just before Christmas on allegations that the parliamentarian had been very busy watching pornography on his official computer in 2008, I’m told that a Nigerian lawmaker laughed it off as evidence of “joblessness” in Whitehall. But if our senators ask their cousins in the House of Representatives, who had an unforgettable experience on a trip to the US, they would know that in a globalised world, trouble is only one flight away.

The rich and powerful could be at risk not only in cases of non-consensual sex, but even in consensual sex. Take the recent case of a student doctor on the other side of the pond, for example. According to a story in the Daily Mail, Philip Queree, a student doctor, was convicted of indecent assault for grabbing the breasts of his consenting lover too hard in bed. Even though it was the second time the pair was having consensual sexual intercourse after meeting on a dating site – and the second time specifically at the instance of the lady – she later went to court, complaining that Philip had grabbed her breasts too hard and “left her in tears.” Poor Philip! Who, in his state of mind, would remember to mind, much less measure the intensity of a grip? Yet, the judge, a woman, ruled that apart from enrolling the student doctor on a sex offenders’ list, he also had to do 180 hours of community service and pay a fine of £2,000. On top of this misery, he might yet be struck off the practitioners’ roll. It’s not unlikely that in the nottoo-distant-future, women would be wearing a chip, as part of their normal fashion accessory; the same way police officers now wear body cameras in some countries. That would make any case of sexual predation tighter and the evidence even more formidable. Until then, however, the rich and powerful might be well served to remember what their mother told them: take a woman’s no as no, even if that woman is your wife.

Jibrin meets Buhari, says suspension a learning curve Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin has said that his suspension from the lower chamber of the National Assembly has been a learning curve. Jibrin stated this on Thursday when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Although he was suspended for 180 days, he has spent over 400 days without being recalled. Speaking with State House Correspondents, Jibrin said that he did not visit the Villa to seek the President’s intervention or discuss the crisis

rocking the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kano state. “As you are aware I have not seen the President for a while now. It is a meeting between a son and a father,” he said. On if he sought the president’s intervention on his political crisis in the House of Representatives, he replied, “Well, I cannot comment on that. The most important thing is that I saw him and he is a very high spirit. I greeted like a son and he spoke to me like a father.” On how he felt about the campaign to get him back into the lower legislative chamber, he said: “It’s only normal. Of course, Nigeri-

ans like justice, my constituency has been suspended for 16 months, so is only normal that people will talk and ask questions, why are we not back on the aspect of court case that has been lingering for the past 16 months. I think these are some of the reasons people are raising issues in the public glare. “For every situation like this there is always an opportunity to learn, it’s a learning curve, so, it’s fine.” He also spoke on how Ali Ndume, a senator from Borno state, was recalled after a similar disciplinary action was taken against him. Jibrin expressed the hope that he would get justice in court.

Rivers not a conquered territory, says Senator Abe

Jonathan, Atiku, others sympathise with Buhari over son’s accident

Amaka Agbu,

ÏÏÏFormer

President Goodluck Jonathan and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar sent early messages to sympathise with President Muhammadu Buhari over the motorcycle accident of his son, Yusuf. Yusuf, the first son of President Buhari, was involved in a bike accident on Tuesday night, but he is in stable condition and the family is receiving goodwill messages from political friends and foes. Abubakar sent a sympathy message to President Buhari’s family over the accident. Abubakar, who dumped Buhari’s All Progressives Congress early in the month, in a tweet commiserated with the first family through his Twitter handle @atiku. Abubakar tweeted: “Our thoughts are with the first family – our family will be praying for you. We wish Yusuf a speedy recovery.” Former President Goodluck Jonathan also tweeted: “I have been in Liberia monitoring elections and only just heard the sad news. “My family and I are in prayers for Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal and his convoy being ferried across River Benue into Ibi town on boats the quick recovery of Yusuf Buhari. during his condolence visit to the former Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, Hon Isiaka Bawa, who lost his mother, Hajiya Hadiza on Wednesday.

ÏÏÏThe Senator representing Riv-

ers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, has declared that Rivers State was not a conquered territory, insisting that no one should assume the position of God in the state. Senator Abe made the declaration while speaking during a visit to former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Prince Chibudom Nwuche, at his country home, Ula-Upata in Ahoada-West Local Government Area of the State. He stated that it was wrong for any individual to claim to have conquered the state because the state was a land of free people who had always stood against oppression and injustice. The Senator, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on FERMA, further stated that there must be equity, justice, and fairness in the affairs of the state and that nobody should subjugate the state in the manner they felt. Abe said: “And let me make it abundantly clear, that we are in this state, nobody has conquered Rivers State, this is not a conquered territory, the Rivers people I know are the same people who have stood to oppression when it mattered most. “It is not new that we are fighting for the future of our state, our fathers did it before us, they confronted stronger powers than the ones we are confronting today and they established the fact that this is a land of free people,” he said. Abe, however, said that at the appropriate time he would inform the people of his decision, maintaining that the future of Rivers State was beyond the politics of the day.He advocated for inclusion of everyone in taking decisions on the welfare of the state, as he decried the social activities and economy of the state which he said were at the point of decay. Earlier, Prince Chibudom Nwuche had appealed to members of the APC to remain steadfast and committed to the party, stressing the need to insist on internal party democracy which was the mantra of change.

Lagos Assembly moves to repeal land use law ÏÏÏLawmakers

in the Lagos Assembly have begun moves to enhance a law that will help repeal the Land Use Charge law currently in use in the state. A step to actualising this objective received a boost when the bill to that effect went through second reading on the floor of the House during plenary on Thursday. The law tagged: “A Bill for A Law to Repeal the Land Use Charge Law 2001 and En-

act Land Use Charge 2017 and For Connected Purposes” was subsequently committed to the House ad hoc committee on finance headed by Hon. Yinka Ogundimu. According to the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, the law was all about increasing the revenue generation of the state. Obasa observed that a situation, where a few consultants were working with the state

government on the collection of land use charges, was not good enough, while calling for an increase in the number of such consultants. “We need more consultants to do the job so that the entire state could be covered in the collection of land use charges. Whatever tribunal that would be set-up to deal with offenders should have the support of the government. “On the issue of exemptions, we cannot exempt religious or-

ganizations because most of the worship centres are making money. We could only exempt Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs),” he said. The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sanai Agunbiade stated that the bill would repeal the existing law on land use charge, adding that it was an executive bill. He stressed that the bill would prohibit the application of other relevant laws relating to land use.

EXTRATIME

Stories by Frank Jumbo he Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Wednesday disclosed why the country’s national teams play games outside of the Abuja National Stadium. NFF said it had to play most games outside the nation capital due to the lack of standard and good infrastructure at the stadium.

NFF reveals reasons for abandoning Abuja Stadium The NFF Secretary-General, Mohammed Sanusi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the national stadium currently lacks the necessary facilities for the teams to play conveniently. The secretary also said that some states had indicated their interest in hosting the national teams. “Some of these states indicated their

interest in hosting the teams and that is why we went there. The Abuja National Stadium is under renovation and so there is no facility for us to play our matches here. “We have our technical centre here, but there are no dressing rooms. So we are making efforts

to see if the dressing rooms can be provided,” Sanusi saiid Sanusi, however, added that the football house was planning to take the matches of the teams across the country, so that Nigerians can watch their national teams play live. Amaju

Enyeama on the verge of departing Lille

he latest news reports suggest Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama could be departing from his Lille for Angers in the French Ligue 1. The 35-year-old keeper has been out of action for seven months with a knee injury, but returned to action last week with Les Dogues’ U18s. Since then rumours have risen suggesting Angers Sporting Club de l’Ouest are interested in securing the services of the Super Eagles shot-stopper to replace Les Scoïstes’ second goalkeeper Mathieu Michel, who is set to join Nimes Olympique. Lille, however, will not let Enyeama (who has 18 months left on his contract) go for cheap and have reportedly told Angers that if they want the Nigerian keeper they will have to pay between €500,000 to €1 million for him.

Russia 2018: Omeruo, Nwakaeme, Olanrewaju dicey U

nless his club form improves tremendously, Brazil 2014 World Cup star, Kenneth Omeruo will not make Nigeria’s squad to next year’s edition of the world cup. Also in danger of missing the party are Anthony Nwakaeme and Kayode Olanrewaju, both of who were in the fringes of the squad during the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying series. Gernot Rohr has a 33-man list from which he will select his final 23 players for the World Cup.According to some insiders at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Rohr already has his first 15 players and will determine the remaining eight spots through the various friendly games lined up for the Super Eagles as preparatory matches for Russia 2018. Omeruo, Nwakaeme and Olanrewaju are in the list, but sources close to Rohr say they are among the eight who must prove why they should be in the squad to Russia during the friendly games.Former Super Eagles stalwart, Obafemi Martins and Ramon Azeez are said to be on the fringes of the team and could only get serious at-

tention if any of the players that featured in the qualifiers got tournament threatening injury. Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama’s case is slightly different as his inclusion depends on what he does at the club level before the final World Cup list is made. In Coach Rohr’s 33-man list are goalkeepers Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi and Francis Uzoho. Vincent Enyeama is on standby.The defenders are Elderson Echiejile, Shehu Abdullahi, Ola Aina, William Troost Ekong, Leon Balogun, Tyronne Ebuehi, Bryan Idowu, Chidozie Awaziem and Kenneth Omeruo. Skipper John Obi Mikel leads the midfield, which has also Wilfred Ndidi, Ogenyi Onazi, John Ogu, Mikel Agu, Ogenekaro Etebo and Alex Iwobi, while in attack are Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa, Victor Moses and Moses Simon. Others are Henry Onyekuru, Kayode Olanrewaju and Anthony Nwakaeme.At the Brazil 2014 World Cup, Nigeria listed three goalkeepers, eight defenders, five midfielders and seven attackers in a squad criticised for being too light in some areas, especially the defence and midfield.

Akinwunmi charity ball comes to a close

here is a high level of excitement as the fourth edition of the Seyi Akinwunmi Charity Mini-Tournament comes to a climax at the Lagos Campos MiniStadium on Friday. Sponsored by the 1st Vice President of Nigeria Football Federation, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, the show –stopping event has over the years attracted leading administrators, top –drawer artistes and ex-international footballers to the finale, while a number of promising talents have been unearthed during the youth competition. The competition’s main objective is provision of scholarships for smart but indigent children and support for ailing ex-international players. Over 200 children have been supported through the Courage Education Foundation, which has chosen the game of football to bring people together and raise funds for the Foundation’s goals. A well –thought partnership with Greensprings International School, Lagos has provided the

perfect station for star discoveries to combine first –education with sport, which ultimately makes for a better athlete. This year, Musa Alli and Elvis Onyenze, who have shone for Nigeria’s U15 squad and look good enough to be considered for the next Nigeria U17 squad, graduated from Greensprings International School. “Our goal is to provide the perfect platform for the gifted but indigent child to fulfill his dream, through combining good education with a career in sport. Alli and Onyenze are examples of what we set out to do and they are still going strong, but there are many more on the way. “The finale which we hold at the Campos Mini-Stadium is a spectacle for both good youth football and fun, with administrators and ex-internationals taking part in the novelty game. Here, we raise funds for the goals of the Foundation,” Akinwunmi told thenff.com. This year, NFF President Amaju Pinnick is leading a team of Pinnick

Akinwunmi and Friends against Family United By Sports, with names like Festus Keyamo (SAN), Ayodeji Tinubu (SA to Lagos State Governor on Sports), Olusegun Odegbami (former Nigeria captain), Taiwo Ogunjobi (former Nigeria international and former NFF GS and Executive Committee Member), Chris Green (ranking member of NFF Executive Committee) and Imama Amapakabo (NPFL title –winning coach with Enugu Rangers last year) already signed up for FUBS. They will be coached by Nduka Ugbade, who captained Nigeria’s first cadet team to win the FIFA World Cup and was an assistant coach when the U17 team won it

for the fourth time in the United Arab Emirates in 2013. Popular stand-up comedian Gbenga Adeyinka will be referee of the match. “The truth is that talents abound in the nooks and crannies of our country. They are waiting to be discovered and nurtured. Most are from poor homes and need support to climb that ladder to get close to their dreams. “I want to really appreciate Greensprings International School for the hand of partnership they have lent to the Foundation. Together, we believe we can take this project very far and in a way that would be great for Nigerian Football development,” Akinwunmi added.

FirstBank convenes youth mentoring session with Awosika Stories by Ganiyu Obaro with Agency report

First Bank of Nigeria Limited has announced it is convening a Youth Mentoring Session, themed: “Building a Financially Literate Tribe.” The event, which will be hosted by Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, Chairman, First Bank of Nigeria Limited is being organised to drive a culture of financial literacy among the

The impact of electric vehicles like those made by Tesla Motors will be limited in the short-term, but will have a longer term impact on oil producers. Oil markets can see light at the end of the tunnel in 2018. A year of production cuts by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, and its allies has reduced global stockpiles and revived prices. A barrel of Brent crude is now worth almost a fifth more in value than it was 12 months ago. Stronger demand should help continue the upward trend. But the New Year also brings with it some familiar risks. US oil output is surging and longer term the growth of electric vehicles presents a challenge for fossil fuels. For the majority of producers in the Middle East, 2018 will be about restraint and agreeing on an orderly exit from their production cut deal. Saudi Arabia - the world’s largest exporter of crude - has held its pact with Russia together against the odds. Both nations agreed last month, along with OPEC and their partners outside the group, to extend 1.8 million barrels a day worth of cuts for another year. Despite concerns over compliance, both nations have led by example. The kingdom’s output dropped to a four-month low of 9.97 million bpd last month,

youth and create a consciousness of financial efficiency in their daily activities; in business, entrepreneurship, career and personal lives. The mentoring session which is scheduled today,Friday, December 29, 2017, at 10am at the Harbour Point, Wilmot Point Road, Victoria Island, Lagos would convene about 1,000 youths to equip them with the knowledge of money management, entrepreneurship skills, and financial in-

dependence, thereby securing their future and placing them on the path to financial freedom and productivity. Awosika would be speaking at the event along with Dr. Remi Banjoko, the Managing Director, dkbMarkets, as well as Nimi Akinkugbe, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bestman Games Ltd. They would share practical experiences on the art and finesse of money growth, investments and entrepreneurship

with participants to build a financially literate tribe that would sustain the culture of financial literacy amongst their friends, class mates, and associates. Speaking on the event, Abiodun Famuyiwa, Group Head, Products & Marketing Support, First Bank of Nigeria Limited said, “The Youth Mentoring Session with Mrs. Awosika is one of our many interventions in Financial Literacy as we continue to engage

our youths to build a sound financial system and positive economic environment. “To support the Bank’s Financial Literacy Drive, FirstBank has carefully designed the MeFirst (13 – 17 years) and XploreFirst (18 – 24 years) products to meet the financial needs of the given demographics whilst also ensuring that the account holders acquire the rudiments of banking and financial literacy required for financial independence.”

OPEC exit strategy: Electric vehicles to set energy tone for 2018

while compliance among the 12 OPEC countries with quotas under the extended cuts agreement reached 108 percent. Moscow is also sticking to its side of the bargain, despite pressure to open the spigots. Output is expected to remain constant in 2018 at just under 11 million bpd. Higher prices help support Russia’s economy ahead of presidential elections in March, which are expected to see Vladimir Putin retain power in the Kremlin. After that, attention may turn to how Russia extricates itself from the deal with OPEC without causing a fresh surplus to build up in the market. Concerns over the exit strategy

will hang over the market until OPEC’s next meeting in June. “The next important OPEC discussion will be an exit strategy from the production cuts, which will likely be the primary topic at the June OPEC meeting,” wrote investment bank Jefferies in a research note earlier this month. The bank has raised its price forecast for Brent crude to US$63 per barrel for 2018 from a previous estimate of $57 partly due to the OPEC extension and a stronger outlook for demand. Stronger demand could be the final piece of the puzzle for oil markets in 2018. Economies in the G7 industrialized nations are expected to

continue to grow steadily over the next 12 months, which will support oil markets. Jefferies has raised its oil demand growth forecast for 2018 to 1.7 million bpd from 1.5 million bpd. But stronger demand also brings risks. With OPEC and its allies restraining production, US drillers have increased output. US production has soared close to 10 million bpd, and is expected to continue to grow into next year. The Energy Information Administration now expects US output to grow by a further 780,000 bpd next year. But the pace of growth could be tempered by tougher financial realities now being im-

posed on drillers, which may have to focus more on profitability instead of production increases. “Concerns still remain with respect to the response of US Shale oil to higher oil prices,” said Chris Midgley, global head of analytics, S&P Global Platts. “However, the shale hype seems to be over, with CEOs and management teams being held strongly accountable to deliver positive cash flow over production growth even with oil prices above $60.” International oil companies (IOCs) may also start to invest in new capacity again in 2018.

Christmas: NGO empowers low income women

OPEC exit strategy:Electric vehicles to set energy tone for 2018

Esther Taiwo

Residents of Ago-Egun, Bariga, Lagos, were given a surprise Christmas package by a Non-Governmental Organisation, Knowledge Aid Initiative, who organized an event tagged: ‘One Bariga Woman.’ The programme was aimed at empowering women living with low income in slum areas of Africa. According to the founder, a Human Right activist and medical practitioner, Ms Success Ojo, the One Bariga Woman is a project put together to help low income women who are living in the slum of Arica; and Christmas season signifies a time to show love. About 30 women were given cash donations at the event ranging from N20,000 to N100,000 depending on their businesses. Ojo said during the empowerment programme that women in the slums are vulnerable women who live below $1 (one Dollar) a day as they are mainly fish sellers while husbands are fishermen. “The poverty level is so high in this area, no social amenity given to them all the things that rich people throw away as wastes are not available to the people living in the slumps. “ We are here to take the lead in assisting them so that others too can follow, the women need help, look for a woman to give N2,000 to, their business is not up to N5,000 there are some of them we gave just N20,000 and it’s a whole lot to them. People should not wait until they have millions they can start from little amount”, she said. The activist said this is not the time for government to ask how they got there adding that what they need is help because they have children

China’s solar expressway, first in the world opens for testing

China tests world’s first solar expressway China on Thursday opened a 1-km section of the world’s first solar expressway for testing. Solar panels are laid beneath part of a ring road surrounding Jinan, capital city of Shandong Province in east China. The road surface is made of a transparent, weight-bearing material that allows sunlight to penetrate. The panels, covering 5,875 square meters, can generate 1

million kwh of power in a year, enough to meet the everyday demand of around 800 households, according to Qilu Transportation Development Group, the project developer. “The project will save the space for building solar farms and shorten the transmission distance,” said Xu Chunfu, the group’s chairman. Electricity produced by the test section will be used to power highway lights, signboards, surveillance camer-

Dana Air rewards travel agents at Christmas Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

As part of efforts to ensure that its guests continue to enjoy best fares on its flights, one of Nigeria’s leading airlines Dana Air, has launched the Dana Air Smart Sale to encourage its guests to book early, plan their trips and get smart fares on their roundtrip booking on all its existing routes from December 26th to February 28th 2018. The airline also celebrated and appreciated the efforts of travel agents in 2017 with Christmas gifts to encourage them to maintain the momentum and thank them for their support. Speaking on the Dana Air Smart Sale, the Communications Manager of Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa, said we want our guests to get booking in 2018. It’s never too early to start planning your business and leisure trips for 2018, as this flash sale offers our guests an opportunity to plan ahead and get fares as low as 15,300 on roundtrip bookings. All they need to do is visit our website www. flydanaair.com and use the promo code ‘SMARTSALE’ to get best fares. These amazing fares are available across our existing route network –Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo ,

and Owerri.” Speaking further, he said, ‘’our guests can take advantage of this impressive offer and start booking from now till 10th January, for flights between 10th January and 28th February 2018. This deal is based on first-come, first-served, with limited availability. So with these exciting low fares we want our smart guests to get booking.’’ Speaking on the gifts to travel agents, he said: ‘travel agents are pivotal to the success of any airline and we decided to celebrate our travel agents for their constant support and contributions to the growth of the industry. We have had a very amazing longstanding relationship with the TAs, and this is just to appreciate and demonstrate our commitment to them’. Only recently, Dana Air celebrated its 9th anniversary in the aviation industry and capped the year with its full membership of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and an award for the Most Efficient Airline of the year 2017 at the Nigerian Entrepreneurs awards. The airline is reputed for its unrivaled on-time performance, innovative online products and worldclass in-flight service.

as, tunnel and toll gate facilities. Surplus power will be supplied to the state grid, Xu said. Future functions to be developed include mobile charging for electric vehicles and providing internet connection. Xu did not reveal the cost but said it was half of similar projects in foreign countries. “With the development of solar power in China, the cost can be further reduced,” he said.

began in 2014, saw dramatic cuts in capital expenditure across the industry. But IOCs have now re-geared their businesses to be profitable with prices even below $50. Jefferies forecasts a 6 per cent increase in capital expenditure by IOCs next year as more major projects gain approval. “Planned capital investments across oil over the next couple of years of around $300bn show that the industry is not under investing; and is on target. However, these new projects will not emerge until well into the 2020s,” said Mr. Midgley. Finally, 2018 could be a turning point for electric vehicles (EVs). Battery prices are decreasing and major auto manufacturers are ramping up investment into the sector. Toyota - the world’s biggest car maker - said this month that it would pour $10bn over the next decade into the development of EVs and plans to have electric versions of all its vehicles by 2030. The company is targeting 1 million EV sales by the end of the next decade. “Fears in the media about demand destruction from EVs in the short term are misplaced; and despite impressive growth figures and annual sales likely to head above 1m new EVs a year, this has to be put into perspective with the 80m new cars sold every year,” said Midgley. Although the growth of EVs won’t immediately turn into demand destruction momentum behind the industry is building. A far bigger concern for oil markets in 2018 will be how Opec and Russia disentangle themselves without triggering another price war. Source: Reuters.

The UN General Assembly has approved nearly 5.4 billion dollars programme budget for the its operations for the year 2018 to 2019. The budget covers UN activities across a range of areas, including political affairs, international justice and law, regional cooperation for development, human rights and humanitarian affairs, and public information. The approved amount is 286 million dollars – or five per cent) – below the budget for the current two-year period 2016 to 2017 and 193 million

dollars below the proposal made by the Secretary-General in October this year. In addition to the budget, the 193-member General Assembly also adopted a number of key resolutions, including reforms in areas of peace and security, and of management. Speaking at the closing session, Miroslav Laják, the President of the General Assembly, said that progress was not measured by the number of resolutions adopted, but rather by the impact the UN made on people’s lives. “Our work is not yet done. We have more to do next year,” he said, noting areas, including the Global Compact for Migration, the peacebuilding and sustaining peace agenda, maintaining momentum on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as Security Council reform. “To have meaningful outcomes from all these processes we need to talk, and more importantly, to listen to one another. “These agenda items represent global challenges. And multilateralism is the tool we need to solve them,” he added. According to the News Agency

of Nigeria(NAN), in approving the budget, the General Assembly also endorsed the proposal to move from a biennial planning and budgeting period to annual programme budget on a trial basis, as of 2020. “This signals one of the most significant shifts in the programme planning and budgeting process of the Organisation since the 1970s,” Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, stated. Explaining the details of the new budget, Johannes Huisman, the Director of Programme Planning and Budget, in the Office of the Controller, said that most of the cuts were under operating or “non-post” areas, such as information technology or travel. To a lesser extent, reductions also applied to personnel or post resources, he said. Huisman emphasised that the UN budget would ensure that there was value for money. “This is a reassurance we can give to the tax-payers that no stone will be left unturned to make sure that the money is spent properly and ultimately benefits the world community in the areas where the UN is needed.”

Ganiyu Obaaro, with Agency reports The Africa Development Bank (AfDB) has signed a concessional donor loan agreement with France to the tune of $ 253 million as support for the 14th replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF). Established in 1972, the ADF represents an enduring development partnership between African countries and donors. The Fund is part of the African Development Bank Group and helps to improve the lives of millions of people across Africa through loans and grants to projects and programmes. Its resources are replenished by donors every three years. The 14th replenishment is intended to mobilize the funds necessary for the period 2017 to 2019. The acting Vice-President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer at the African Development Bank, Hassatou N’Sele, signed the ADF concessional donor loan agreement with the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Jean-Pierre Marcelli, in Paris. The Agence Française de Developpement negotiated and signed the loan agreement on behalf of the French Treasury as part of the contributions of France to the Fourteenth Replenishment of the Resources of the African Development Fund (ADF-14). The move by France is the first time a donor country would sign a concessional donor loan agreement for the ADF since the Fund management and donors agreed in November 2016 to include a loan component within its financing framework. Global support for the ADF 14 cycle will help the African Development Bank to continue to deliver very concrete developmental impacts across each of the High 5 areas (Light up and Power Africa, Feed Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the quality of life for the people of Africa). Two other countries have also agreed to provide similar loan supports for ADF 14: Ja-

AfDB in $253m donor loan agreement with France pan (US $ 700m) and India (US $ 15m). The signature of the loan agreements with Japan and India should take place early in 2018, N’Sele said. Also, AfDB achieved a 100 per cent investment in renewable energy in 2017. According to the President of the bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, the is a major landmark in the commitment to clean energy and efficiency. Power generation projects with a cumulative 1,400 megawatts exclusively from renewables were approved during the year, with plans to increase support for renewable energy projects in 2018 under the New Deal on Energy for Africa. Adesina said: “We are clearly leading on renewable energy. We will help Africa

unlock its full energy potential, while developing a balanced energy mix to support industrialization. Our commitment is to ensure 100% climate screening for all Bank financed projects.’’ The share of renewable energy projects as a portion of the Bank’s portfolio of power generation investments increased from 14 per cent in 2007-2011, to 64 per cent in 2012-2016. The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative (AREI) whose goal is to deliver 300 Gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy in 2030 and 10 GW by 2020, is now based within the Bank, as requested by African Heads of State and Government. The G7 has promised to commit US$10 billion to support the initiative, which came out of COP21 and subse-

quently approved by the African Union. On November 8, 2017, the African Bank Group approved its Second Climate Change Action Plan, 2016-2020 (CCAP2) as a clear message of its commitment to helping African countries mobilize resources to support the implementation of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions of Regional Member Countries, in ways that will not hinder development. The approval of the action plan echoes discussions at COP23 in Bonn, Germany to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change and achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global temperature rises to 1.5C. The CCAP2 is designed to incorporate the Bank’s High 5 priorities in the Paris Agree-

ment, the 2030 development agenda, the Bank’s Green Growth Framework and the lessons learned in the implementation of the first climate change action plan (CCAP1), 2011-2015 In another development, as part of its wider mandate under the New Deal on Energy for Africa, the Board of Directors of the African Development Bank on December 15, 2017, approved an investment of US $20 million in the Evoclean and sustainable energy private equity fund. The bank’s investment in Evolution II Fund reflects the High 5 development priorities of the bank, the agenda to light up and Power Africa, and the Bank’s commitment to promote renewable energy and efficiency in Africa.

Benjamin Omoike

The Lagos State economy has received a major boost, as spending in the creative sector records an estimated N50billion cash transactions in the first three weeks of December, according to reports monitored by the Lagos State Government. The peak in entertainment activities and the huge influx of people from neighboring states and the Diaspora on holiday visits have impacted positively on the economy of the state at a time that corporate sponsorship of the cre-

ative sector has also recorded an appreciable growth. In a press statement released on Thursday by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, various reports, statistics and analysis monitored over the last few days captured an estimated additional spending of about N50bn in the creative entertainment sector alone within the state in the last 25 days, thereby reinforcing the profile of the state as the hub of entertainment and tourism and the economic capital of West Africa. Ayorinde said reports

monitoring the current trends show multi-billion naira spending in hotel accommodations across the state; alcohol and beverage consumption, as well as culinary business; visits to resorts, parks, clubs and lounges, live theatre and cinemas; fees for musicians, their handlers and technical staff, as well as ancillary businesses like fashion and clothing, kiddies’ games and toys, specialised taxis and private security guards, that all contribute into the tourism and entertainment sectors. “What this cash-enabled December has shown is a mas-

sive growth in the creative economy sector in Lagos state. The entire state is agog, hotels are fully booked from Victoria Island to Ikeja, Epe and Badagry. There is a renewed sense of fun among the citizens and visitors. The volume of entertainment content being created for the pleasure of the citizens and media is unprecedented right from the beginning of the month. “COPA Lagos Beach Soccer Tournament at Eko Atlantic was a combination of football and musical performances. The Lagos Street Carnival was a demonstrable evidence of

the government’s assurance that security and traffic management can now be taken for granted in the state when big shows happen. New cinemas are being launched and all are recording huge box office takings. Four of Africa’s biggest musicians - Olamide, Falz, Wizkid and Davido - have had the biggest concert productions in Africa in the past one week. All in Lagos. “And we have now entered day five of the eight-day, five-centre One Lagos Fiesta that is featuring more than 700 artistes, if you add dancers, instrumentalists and participants at the Lagos

Grows Talent component of the fiesta. This is an extraordinary entertainment value chain that is impacting on the pockets and wellbeing of the people. This is an economic reality that you can only get in Lagos state.” The commissioner said not only is this remarkable development in tandem with the vision of governor Ambode to make Lagos the creative nervecentre in Africa, but also to assure corporate sponsors and tourists that the state security and social infrastructure can support the ever-growing creative economic landscape.

Ladesope Ladelokun

The historic day climaxed activities marking the official coronation of a respected Oba, the Olu of Ibogun Balogun land, Ogun State, HRH Oba Fakayode Faluade Adeshina. And the occasion saw a display of custom and tradition of the people. Gaily dressed people from near and far thronged the coronation arena, singing and dancing to rendition of music and songs.

Interesting, however, Ibogun is the ancestral community of Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.

For Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, it was mission fulfilled. Although Amosun said the state is still battling on how to resolve the over 250 Obaship’s request across its several domains, the day’s occasion was another historic moment of his administration. He said once an obaship case is resolved for good, the appointed should see he opportunity as a means to serve his people, the state and work towards the development of his domains.

institutions across the state would continue to be accorded respect with a view to enhancing culture, tradition and tourism development. Addressing the large crowd comprising government functionaries, traditional rulers and Ifa priest, among other dignitaries, Amosun, who was represented by the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs Jide Ojuko, said, “Let me reiterate that the appointment of an Oba has fulfilled the Biblical injunction. I am, therefore imploring our new Kabiyesi, to see your appointment as a call to service. You should also ensure that you mobilize your subjects for the execution of worthwhile self-help projects, in a bid to

complement government’s efforts towards socio-economic development of the state. Amosun enjoined Oba Fakayode to continue to champion effort that would further enhance peaceful co-existence with other royal fathers within ifo local government where the new monarch domain is also situated. He equally encouraged Fakayode’s subjects to work with him in developing Ibogun-Balogun which he governor described as developing community. He said, “On the part of our administration, we owe the people of Ibogun- Balogun and the entire people of Ogun State the benefits of dividends of democracy, which are already evident across the state. We remain unwaveringly committed to implementing religiously the ‘five-cardinal programme’ as enshrined in our ‘mission to rebuild’ our state.”

The Federal Government says it will make the annual Calabar carnival a major foreign exchange earner for Nigeria. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this on Sunday in Calabar while flagging off the third dry run of the 2017 carnival which has the theme: ‘Migration.’ He said that the carnival, which has united the people over the years and had attracted wider participation, was the longest street party in the world with 12 kilometre-long route. He said that it was time for people to start seeing the carnival beyond entertainment, but see the seriousness and the message it conveys. “We are pushing the Calabar carnival to be a major foreign exchange earner for the country. We have here today, 26 beauty queens from 26 African countries who are contesting for the 2017 Miss Africa pageant. “I also want to take this opportunity to appeal to the world to see this street party beyond dancing and beyond the costumes,’’ he said. The minister said that festival had become a platform for youths to vent their creativity and a platform to turn Nigeria’s cre-

ative industry into a veritable creative economy. He said, “I am delighted to know that everything being used in the carnival is manufactured locally by Nigerians. Calabar carnival does not only create an economy, but also unites the whole of Nigeria because it had enlightened the people of Nigeria and the world about Climate Change and Migration.’’ Earlier, Prof. Ivara Esu, Deputy Gov. of the state, said that the annual festival had become an international brand. Esu said that the state was happy to have the minister in person to perform the flag off, adding all preparations had been made for the grand finale of the carnival billed for Dec. 28 (yesterday). The minister said,This shows that Cross River is taking a major step in building infrastructure that will help in pushing the state as a conference hub. “We will not hesitate in helping the state government to sustain this kind of project. We are ready as a government to provide the enabling environment for states like Cross River to thrive. “Even in the Federal Council of Tourism, Cross River is a member because, we recognise the giant stride the state is making in tourism.”

‘Capitalism new Economics says prosperity doesn’t trickle down’

opportunities, without a new labor-ownership framework, it simply cannot provide the economic benefits, stability, and security necessary for a robust and thriving middle class. Uncertainty and the middle class If sustained economic growth requires policies that sustain the middle class—policies designed to include more and more people in the economy as both innovators and consumers—then what exactly does it mean to be middle class? For the purposes of our discussion, “middle class” is less of an income distinction and more of a social one. Typically, middle-class Americans purchase homes, they educate themselves and their children, they participate in their community, they spend money on leisure and other discretionary purchases, and they save for retirement. Over the course of their lives, middle-class Americans build personal wealth, however modestly, and sometimes they start businesses.

By Nwaodu Lawrence Chukwuemeka

That’s not all. During tourist season, Zoe will pick up a little spending money by renting out her apartment on Airbnb, living in her parents’ house for days or weeks at a time. And when her schedule at the hotel allows it, she’ll pick up a temp job or two, usually doing light office work at a local hospital; but her work schedule changes from week to week, and temp work is unreliable, so she can’t often coordinate jobs. Zoe would like to go back to college to finish her degree, but can’t seem to piece together either the time or the money. Besides, she has friends and co-workers with college degrees, living similar lives, only with the added burden of tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. If you think all her hard work amounts to a stable lifestyle, you’re Femi Otedola wrong. Zoe doesn’t have enough money in the bank to sustain a savings account, let alone to contribute to retirement. She’s never late with her rent, but the idea of owning a house is far out of reach. Sometimes, when she catches a bad cold, or inclement weather conspires against her part-time piecemeal work, she’s forced to put groceries, the electricity bill, or gas on her credit card. It can take months to pay that balance back down. But the cost is more than just financial. Zoe can’t remember a time when she wasn’t tired. She’s never taken a vacation in her adult life. (The right and ability to take a vacation are integral parts of what it means to be middle class, yet a Google Consumer Survey found that 42 percent of all American adults failed to take a single day of vacation in 2014.) She can’t imagine ever being able to retire. She barely has time for dating, let alone settling down and starting a family of her own. She dreads the day when her car just stops running, because she knows that would destroy her financially. Zoe doesn’t have any idea what the process of bankruptcy is like, but that doesn’t keep her from having nightmares about it. Sometimes when she listens to the radio while driving between jobs, Zoe hears that America is finally pulling out of the Great Recession, that prosperity is on the rise again. She doesn’t know what to make of that, but she knows she’s not feeling particularly prosperous. In fact, she feels a little bit poorer with each passing year. Zoe’s parents help her and her siblings out as best they can, but they must carefully marshal their own savings. Zoe’s father, Joe, worked most of his adult life at a local brewery, working his way up from the loading dock to delivery driver to local sales rep, until a series of mergers and the Great Recession forced him into early retirement. Zoe’s mother, Liz, works as the office manager at a small law firm, but plans to join her husband in retirement in a few years. Thirty-plus years at the brewery earned Joe a modest pension, and once the kids were out of the house, he and Liz were able to squirrel away additional retirement savings. Social Security will supplement their nest egg, while Medicare will provide for their health care. They paid off their mortgage

years ago, so their housing expenses will remain minimal. They’ve budgeted their retirement years to the last penny; it won’t be lavish—a little travel, a lot of golf—but it will be secure. The contrast between the experience of Zoe’s generation and that of her parents is stark. Zoe’s parents entered the workforce with the expectation that hard work would be rewarded with decent pay, improving prospects, and a comfortable retirement; it was an era in which the benefits that define a middle-class lifestyle were largely provided through one’s job, and an era in which employers generally accepted that they had a responsibility to safeguard the welfare of their workers. Of equal significance, it was an era in which most Americans could reasonably expect to work for only a handful of companies over the course of their career, and certainly no more than one employer at a time. This was the social contract of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, and it was a contract that fostered the economic security and stability that enabled the middle class to thrive, and the American economy and businesses to prosper. But for Zoe’s generation, this contract no longer exists. The hotel that employs her views her paycheck as just another operating expense to manage and to trim, while the clients she services via UberX and TaskRabbit and Airbnb do not view her as an employee at all. Zoe works longer hours than her parents ever did, but she earns no time-and-a-half overtime pay, accrues no sick days or vacation days, and accumulates no pension or 401(k). And in the “sharing economy” that is frequently proclaimed to be the future of work—an economy of work, but not “jobs”—Zoe and her cohort are even denied the unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance that have composed the barest threads of our social safety net for the last hundred years. The lesson we can take from Zoe’s experience is that our traditional job-based benefit system no longer makes sense in an economy in which fewer and fewer workers will hold traditional jobs. For while the sharing economy promises many exciting new

And they can do all these things because they have the confidence and the wherewithal—the economic security—to plan for the future. Or, to use a word our nation’s business leaders would surely understand, a functional middle class enjoys certainty. Since the onset of the Great Recession, corporate leaders and their surrogates in Congress have demanded certainty from government—usually in the form of lower taxes, smaller deficits, and less regulation. Indeed, it is a talking point that has been repeated so often that it has assumed the status of conventional wisdom. “All businesses are coming to Congress,” House Budget Chair Paul Ryan told NPR back in September 2011. “They want certainty . . . certainty on regulations, certainty on taxes, on energy costs. And so we need to go back and go at the fundamental foundations of economic growth, get those fundamentals right.” On his campaign website, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney blamed “uncertainty” for our nation’s then-anemic post-recession job growth, arguing that government must “provide businesses with the certainty and stability they need to make those investments.” And more recently, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan called on President Obama to create a “certainty premium” to coax corporate profits back into the market. “If we can just allow people to keep their confidence up by getting some of these [tax reform] issues off the table,” Moynihan was quoted in a December 2012 Politico piece as saying, “you would see the economy grow and momentum continue to build, and unemployment continue to ease down, and housing starts going up and housing prices going up. All that will continue to build on itself.” We would be continuing this discourse in the next article.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is so much vacuum in Yoruba highlifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I never thought I would even recover because it was a major operation and there had to be some follow-up treatments. Sometimes I need to do check like every 4-6 months. What was exactly the nature of the illness? cancer but a tumor that grew in my kidney which overwhelmed the kidney and rendered it useless to the point that it had to be taken out. How were you able to afford such an expensive procedure? Well I went through with it myself because it happened at a time that I was not broke so I was able to take care of it myself. But it was an extensive treatment so I had the likes of Dr. Mike Adenuga there for me after the surgery. I had friends so I did not have to go on the papers or public space to ask for money. In Nigeria when people fall sick, the first thing they do is go public to ask for funds. Did you ever think of doing that? It cannot be that bad that I will not have friends that will take care of me if I had issues

For those that do it, what do you think? Well, they have to stay alive anyway. You never know, the industry is full of assumptions. You believe that this guy is so popular so he has the money to take care of himself. But when such situations arise, and the person comes out imagine when compared to back then, you can solve that problem with N10-15 million, but now you are talking about N40, N50 million minimum. care of a N50 million bill right now. You said it was labeled cancer, how did you feel when you heard those statements? come up with different reports, you know the truth, and the people around you know the truth. How many people are you going to run to say it know the fact found out what really happened. Cancer is more or less like a death sentence, it can be if not properly taken care of. How much support did you get from your wife? A 100%. She was there for me. She was in South Africa when I was there. What do you miss about your glorious days? actually a very private person, not because of

my music, because even before music, I had always been private. I still go out and do my stuff; I have never had a bodyguard. I miss the fans appreciating what I do. Staying away for so long is not cool for me. I believe I need to get that fixed in time because I get a lot of
