Buhari launches Micro Pension Plan...

Continued from page 1

House Conference Hall, Aso Villa, Abuja, said that the dignity of public servants who worked tirelessly and sacrificed for the greatness of Nigeria will be restored.

He assured that the Federal Government would rev up the process of sanitising the pensions system.

The President noted that retired public servants deserved better treatment and effective service that meets their needs to carry on after retirement, promising to remove the “rot within the pension system’’.

“The dignity of retired public servants who sacrificed their lives for this country will be restored. We will ensure all hard working Nigerians in the private sector, both formal and informal, can retire without fear,’’ he said.

The President noted that the Federal Government will continue to support the National Pension Commission to ensure a successful roll-out of the Micro Pension Plan, which will capture citizens that are not fully captured in the formal corporate sector.

“In addition to this programme, we are also working tirelessly to sanitise some of the rot within the pension system we inherited.

I want to assure all Nigerians that this government remains committed to resolving all pending issues on pension payment in the federal public sector despite the lean resources of Government,’’ President Buhari added.

He said trade associations, unions, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders in the informal sector should join hands with the government and pensions industry to enlighten their members and the general public on the benefits of Micro Pension Plan.

“Today, millions of traders, farmers and other entrepreneurs in various cottage industries are completely excluded from the different pension programs in existence.

“The Micro Pension Plan is the natural next step. The programme guarantees that when these hard-working citizens retire, they can still live in dignity and comfort,’’ he said.

As part of efforts to diversify the economy and create a more inclusive and enabling environment for all Nigerians, President Buhari said the government has provided grants, concessionary loans and technical support through Small and Medium Enterprise’s clinics to farmers, traders and SMEs. At the event, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said the new scheme will provide more security for Nigerians in the informal sector, and expand the country’s pension coverage as well as boost the economy.

“This scheme also benefits the government because it has the potential to generate a pool for investible long term funds that can drive economic development,’’ he said.

In her remarks, the Acting Director-General of National Pensions Commission (PENCOM), Mrs. Aisha Dahir-Umar, said that the Contributory Pension Scheme had recorded huge success since it was launched in 2004, with the formation of long term domestic capital, represented by N8.7 trillion worth of pension assets as at January 2019.

“The Micro Pension Plan is remarkable because it unveils a unique financial product, which democratizes the saving culture in Nigeria in a systematic and efficient manner,’’ she said.

Dahir–Umar said the plan was designed after wide consultations with stakeholders, noting that the product is flexible with contribution amount and channel of remittance of contributions to respective pension accounts.

She explained that the formation of long term domestic capital, represented by the over N8.74 trillion worth of pension assets as at January 2019, belonging to 8.46 million formal sector participants, was slowly but surely changing

Nigeria’s financial landscape.

The director general said that the contributory pension scheme was also transforming the course and pace of Nigeria’s socio-economic development.

She explained that N6.51 trillion, representing 73 per cent of the total pension assets is invested in Federal Government Securities issued to finance various activities of Government.

“Thus, in the area of infrastructure alone, the pension funds invested about N95.31 billion in the N200 billion Sukuk issued by the Federal Government. Similarly, out of the N10.67 billion Green Bond issued by the Federal Government, pension funds invested N7.19 billion.

Consequently, we believe that the enlistment of the informal sector into the pension savings net would boost the quantum of available long term investible funds that would galvanize national development efforts”, the Director-General stated.

According to Mrs. DahiruUmar, the product also perfectly aligns with the current social empowerment programmes of the Federal Government as it seeks to ensure, in the long term, the sustainability of the benefits of the empowerment programmes for the participants, who may seize this opportunity to save for their old age.

Micro Pension Plan targets the significant majority of Nigeria’s working population who, incidentally, operate in the informal sector.

Participants are expected from various informal sector workers including market women, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), members of Textile, Garment and, Tailoring Associations, Keke Napep and Okada Riders Associations, Butchers Associations, workers in the Movie and Performing Art industry, mechanics and other workers in the automotive industry and single professionals like lawyers, accountants and many others.

IPOB: Court revokes Kanu’s bail, orders his arrest Kanu to be tried in absentia

Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday revoked the bail granted the leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and ordered for his arrest.

The trial court judge, Justice Binta Nyako also ordered that the trial of Kanu, who has absconded from the country since last year will continue in his absence.

Justice Nyako recalled in her ruling that the court granted the defendant bail on April 25, 2017 on health grounds, but the defendant has failed to attend trial since November 2017,

prompting the court to issue an order directing his sureties to deposit their N100 million bond with the court’s registrar and for them to show cause why they should not forfeit the amount to the Federal Government.

She, therefore, adjourned Kanu’s trial to June 18, for continuation in his absence. The court’s order was sequel to an application by the prosecution lawyer, Shuaibu Labaram Jibrin, for a bench warrant of arrest to be issued on the fleeing IPOB leader.

In his response, the defence lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had requested for a short adjournment to enable him give reasons why the defendant was

not in court.

His request was overruled by the court on the ground that the defence team had enough time to adduce reasons for Kanu’s absence between the four adjournments granted them by the court since November 2018.

Meanwhile, the court has adjourned the case involving Kanu sureties, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, a Jewish Priest, Emmanuel Shalom Ben Madu and an accountant, Tochukwu Uchendu indefinitely, following an appeal lodged by counsel to Sen. Abaribe, Chukwuma Machukwu Ume (SAN) challenging the order directing the sureties to deposit their bail bonds with the court.

Tinubu to Buhari: It’s time to work harder for Nigerians Tom Okpe, Abuja and Patrick Okohue, Lagos

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to roll up his sleeves and use his second term in office to work to make the lives of Nigerians better by leading them into a new economic prosperity.

Tinubu said the present economic reality across the world is such that each nation must work out its plans to take its people out of the raging economic downturn, urging President Buhari to work on a model that is not only home grown, but peculiar to meeting the economic needs of the people.

The former Lagos State governor, who spoke on Thursday during at a Colloquium to mark his 67th birthday held at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, on Thursday, said: “Our pursuit of the Next Level cannot be achieved by blindly following the economic path of other nations. That would be tantamount to racing to live in a building just as its long-term occupants were frantically rushing out, screaming that the edifice was mean and crumbling. If we are smart, we dare not enter.

“Instead, we must construct our Next Level on a progressive ideology and vision that will take our people out of penury, diversify our economy more aggressively, and empower and retrain our youth.

“To be the great nation we purport to be, we must reform and retool our economy according to our definition of what is best for our own people. We cannot assign that duty to anyone else.

“Here, I must ask for a little liberty to amend the fine title of this colloquium: “Work for the people.” We must do more than simply work for the people.

Government must “work for the people in a way that enables them to better work for themselves.”

Tinubu, who also used the opportunity to chide the government for its fixation with GDP rates and similar statistics, added that “We must amend our basic ideas about the economy. We must divorce ourselves from our fixation with GDP rates and similar statistics. These things were initially intended to be indicators,

suggestive measurements. However, we have misinterpreted these road maps by treating them as if they were the destination itself.

“This has caused us to distort the organic relationship between the people and the economy.

“This dominant train of thought has made the people servants to the dictates of abstract economic theories. In a more effective system, the economy would be fashioned to serve the concrete needs and legitimate aspirations of the people.

“Our economy must be redefined to be an efficient yet moral social construct with the primary goal of optimising the long-term welfare of the people through the sustained, productive and full employment of labour, land, capital and natural resources.”

The APC national leader also opposed Federal Government’s plan to increase the Value Added Tax (VAT).

He said an increase in VAT will reduce the purchasing power of Nigerian consumers and is capable of increasing hardship in the country.

“This is why I appeal on Osinbajo (Yemi) and his team to put a huge question mark on any increase on VAT please…”, Tinubu said.

Opposing any plan to increase taxes, Tinubu said the government should rather widen the tax net and include those who are not yet being taxed.

“Let’s make the nets get bigger so we take in more taxes. That is what we must do in the country instead of putting an additional layer of taxes for now.”

He warned against following global trend in economic development, saying that, “In the current global context, the best translation of laissez faire economics is “let’s stay poor” economics.

“To believe that we are at our best when everyone focuses solely on maximizing their own position is to believe that one hundred hands can clutch at the same naira note but no one will get scratched.

“To pull the nation from poverty, government must play a decisive role.

It must at times direct and even develop markets and opportunities. This is nothing novel. I am only restating what the established economies did when they were young and assumed their

trajectories toward growth.

“Yet, how do we organise ourselves to meet this task?

“Like no Nigerian government before, I believe the second administration of President Buhari shall dedicate itself to changing the very structure of our economy for the better.”

Tinubu also took out time to look at the various economic downturns plaguing various nations of the world and warned against repeating such economic errors.

“The global economy faces stiff headwinds. Factors not of our making now cast the world economy towards low growth.

“Consumer spending is slipping.

Aggregate private debt has attained historic levels. America and China are in a trade tug-of-war. Brexit looms imminent. Whatever form Brexit takes, economic dislocation will emerge from the political confusion now underway.

“Even without Brexit, the EU itself has entered a rough patch. The Eurozone may already be in recession.

Stock markets experience wild swings that speak to an underlying weakness and pessimism about the immediate future.

“Forecasters are predicting a global recession within the next 12-18 months.

“I render these observations not to frighten anyone but because they ring true. Wisdom requires that we accept reality instead of obscuring it under the cloak of wishful thinking. We must build policies that interact with the world as it is, and not with the world as it should be.

“We must recognise these harsh economic tidings as advance warnings to the wise. Hence we must think deeper and work harder for our people in Nigeria.

“I would be a most wicked friend if I knew a storm was approaching yet convinced you to ready your family for an outdoor picnic under the tallest tree. The truth is always a more valuable guardian than fantasy.

“You see, Next Level is not just a trendy campaign phrase to be quickly discarded once victory has been achieved.

“It has a much deeper and more profound meaning, perhaps even

Tinubu more than its authors contemplated.

This is because we are a nation still in the process of defining itself politically and economically.

“In this process, it is tempting and easy to borrow indiscriminately from those nations that seem to have mastered the art of democratic governance and to have achieved economic prosperity.

“However, to achieve durable progress, we can’t afford to work hard but in mindless devotion to the ways of other nations.

“Mr. President, you have warned several times that the storm that approaches is not inevitable. It is born of a human folly and reckless greed.

This means that it can be rectified by human wisdom and prudential action.

“At this point we must recognise a fundamental truth of our time. The economic model upon which the world is built is unraveling. The coming downturn is just a symptom of this great upheaval.”

The APC leader said to achieve the new economic turnaround that everyone desires for the nation, there was the need to work harder on revamping the nation’s critical infrastructure, especially power.

“The single most important sector for the government’s focus is infrastructure.

The most important of our infrastructural demands is power. This has been the

Obiano urges FG to name Air Peace national carrier Nkiru Nwagbo, Awka Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has called the Federal Government to make Air Peace the country’s national carrier due to its successes in the aviation industry.

Obiano disclosed this through his Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, while congratulating the aviation outfit on its latest acquisition of a brand new Boeing 777 passenger aircraft.

The governor said the aircraft is the third brand new Boeing 777 that the carrier has procured in the last one year preparatory to its flights into key cities in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa.

According to Obiano, Air Peace is

Nigeria’s fastest growing and most ambitious airline in history.

“This carrier has been in existence for less than six years, yet it has acquired over 20 aircrafts, making it the largest in the country.

“Of particular interest to both the flying public and the government is its safety record which is excellent owing to the extra mile it goes to not only maintain its machines to the highest global standards, but also make its technical crew regard safety as the highest pursuit in the aviation industry,” the governor added.

The state governor also commended Air Peace for its professionalism, citing its integrity as regards take-off and landing time and the way it treats its passengers both on the ground and in the air.

He declared: “In this regard, Air

Peace competes with such international carriers as Singapore Airlines, Virgin Airways, KLM and Air France.”

The Anambra State Governor reiterated his call on the Federal Government to make the airline the country’s aviation flag carrier, like British Airways which is the United Kingdom’s flag carrier.

“This is a more pragmatic step to take than the rumoured current attempt in some quarters to make the President Muhammadu Buhari administration establish a state-owned airline, despite the terrible record of Nigeria Airways and the government’s wise suspension of Nigeria Air last September.

“There is no way any state-owned or promoted airline can enhance Nigeria’s reputation in the world that Air Peace is not doing and will continue to do with greater efficiency and results.

“We praise the airline for its proactive ways of conducting business which benefits both the air carrier and the larger society.

“Immediately, the Ethiopian Airlines crashed in Nairobi, Kenya, on March 110, Air Peace suspended its procurement of 10 Boeing 737 Max 8 it had ordered last year until the safety of this new Boeing series is established beyond all reasonable doubts.

“This commendable action was taken before most airlines and aviation authorities took steps against this model,” he added.

Air Peace, founded in 2013 by Allen Onyema, a Lagos-based lawyer, is about to commence operations into Houston, United States; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Mumbai, India; Johannesburg, South Africa and Guangzhou, China.

greatest discovery of humanity in the last thousand years.”

“Affordable and reliable power will drive the industrialisation that shall provide jobs in our cities and produce needed goods for all our people. In a more poetic rendering, it will take our people out of the dark ages and bring the nation into the light of a better day.

“I believe the second Buhari administration will work to increase electricity generation, transmission and distribution by more than 50 percent within the next 4 years.”

He added that while the nation requires serious and bold reforms to achieve this, that it was also necessary “we should push to end the practice of billing people for electricity they never received. This practice is a vestige of the past that should not accompany us into the future. A person should be charged accurately and only for the power that they use,” he said.

He continued: “Government should continue to aggressively implement its national infrastructure plan. We must commit ourselves to a national highway system linking our major cities and towns, our centres of commerce, with each other.

This will save lives, spur commerce, cut costs and bring Nigerians closer together.

“Water catchment and retention systems in strategic locations should also be introduced to end the destructive cycles of flood and drought affecting many areas.

“In working to transform the face of our economy, government must also enact policies that encourage industrialization and modern agricultural practices.

“We must applaud President Buhari for the historic innovations made in the agricultural sector. We must further encourage him to do even more.

Government funded social security for the aged and government backed affordable housing and mortgage facilities are things we must continue to explore in an aggressive manner,” Tinubu added.

The Colloquium’ was attended

by President Muhammadu Buhari, represented by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, top government functionaries including the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, APC top notchers, including party’s governors and governors-elect, while Lagos State governor, Akinwumi Ambode, played the host.

EFCC arraigns Bank for Women protest in Rivers, call for $50,000, N9.2m fraud declaration of gov’ship election result Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

Thousands of Rivers women, including traders took to the streets of Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital on Thursday in a peaceful protest to declare that the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Ubo Effanga, who conducted the 2019 General Elections in the state, must remain and should not be transferred out of the state.

The women, who took off from the popular Isaac Boro Park as early as 9.00 am, carrying placards with various inscriptions like: “Rivers women say Amaechi cannot be Governor for 3rd term”, “Awara, when and where did you campaign”, “Wike must come back for second term”, “INEC collate and declare governorship election result in Rivers State”, “Enough of this long delay”, among others, trekked to the office of the Department of State Security (DSS) along Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, where their leaders were addressed by the representative of the State Director of DSS. The women who spotted white vests, chanting ‘no Wike, no Rivers State’ song, defied the scorching sun and proceeded to the State Police Headquarters, Moscow Road where they were addressed

by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Betty Otimeh, who stood in for Commissioner of

Police, Usman Belel, who was said to be unavoidably absent.

Speaking on behalf of the protesting women, their leader, Rivers State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Barrister (Mrs.) Ukel Oyaghiri, said they had come to express appreciation with the way the police conducted the affairs during the elections and urged them to keep up the tempo.

Barrister Oyaghiri said Rivers women were getting agitated over the delay in announcing the results of the Governorship Election that was conducted since March 9, 2019.

“Rivers women have come to express our displeasure on the delay to announce the Rivers State election results.

All other States have had their results announced with winners emerged and even court injunctions that had to do with stoppage of election process in every other states have been vacated.

“But in Rivers State where election took place and collation has been done, INEC has refused to announce the results, and this has put all women in suspense. As women who have passed through thick and thin in course of the election, we cannot keep quiet over the delay in announcing the results,” she said amid thunderous ovation from the enthusiastic crowd whose presence obstructed free flow of traffic at Moscow Road, forcing vehicles to divert

Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Yakubu through Hospital Road and Marine Base By-pass.

Barrister Oyaghiri went on: “Some of us were beaten and in resisting, some horrible things were done to us. And that is why we have come here to say, INEC please declare our results.”

The State Women Affairs Commissioner stated that the delay in announcing the results had put the state into comatose and urged the INEC Chairman, Professor Yakubu Mahmood, to ignore calls from those she described as enemies of Rivers State for the removal of the State INEC REC, Ubo Effanga.

“We don’t want Effanga to be removed, he has started this work and he should be allowed to finish it. If you remove Effanga who conducted the election, is it a person who was never privy to the conduct of the election

that you will bring?” she asked, reaffirming that INEC should do the needful by announcing the results.

The women alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had perfected plans to disrupt the collation and announcement of governorship results in Rivers State, scheduled for April 2-5, 2019.

Responding, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Betty Otimeh, thanked the women for their peaceful disposition during the protest and assured that their messages would be delivered to State Police Commissioner, Usman Belel, with appropriate actions taken where necessary.

“We assure you that at every point in time the police will be there to provide adequate security of lives and properties in the State,” she declared.

‘Why INEC withheld Okorocha’s certificate of return’ The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday cleared air on its decision to withhold certificates of return of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and three others.

INEC National Electoral Commissioner, Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, said the decision “does not amount to shifting goal post at the middle of a match.“ He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Awka that INEC only issue certificate to people who

genuinely won elections.

“Issuance of certificates of return is a statutory function of INEC, it is only issued to those who won election and must be done through free will of a returning officer.

“In the case of Imo West Senatorial zone where Okorocha contested, the OtuOpi Federal Constituency in Benue, Agayi State Constituency and another in Akwa Ibom.

“What INEC is saying is that you can’t engage in bad electoral behaviour and expect

INEC to reward you with a certificate.

“Our certificate is only for those who won freely,” he said.

Okoye said the commission has the right not to issue certificate to such persons as it would amount to abnormality.

He said INEC action is not targeted at the voters who voted people of their choice, but to address excesses of those who wanted to use unconventional means to win elections.

“Once we have such case, INEC will not issue certificate,

but ensure that the right thing is done,” he said.

He said at the moment that contenders of the positions in all the four affected areas are in court adding that INEC is awaiting for the outcome of the pending matters.

Okoye said if the court orders INEC to issue certificates of return to the people involved, it would do same.

He said if a consequential order is made directing INEC to conduct fresh election in the areas, the commission would do same.

Ekiti: Appeal Court upholds Fayemi’s victory The Court of Appeal Abuja Division on Thursday night upheld the victory of Kayode Fayemi, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last governorship election held in Ekiti State.

In a unanimous judgment, three-man panel of the court dismissed the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Kolapo Olusola, for lacking in merit.

The court upheld the January 28, 2019 judgment of the Ekiti election tribunal, which sat in

Abuja.

Stephen Adah, who read the judgement, resolved all the seven issues raised against the appellants in favour of the respondents — Fayemi, INEC and APC. Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson and Emmanuel Agim, both judges, agreed with the lead judgment delivered by Adah.

The three-man panel entered the courtroom at about 7pm on Thursday but started delivering the judgment at about 7.14pm.

The summary of the judgment

given on Thursday lasted more than 30 minutes.

Alex Akojah, the lawyer who led the petitioners’ team to court on Thursday, told journalists after the judgment was delivered that the legal team would need to be informed by their clients on whether or not they would appeal against the judgment to the Supreme Court.

Fayemi polled a total of 197,459 votes to defeat Olusola, who placed second with 178,121 votes in the July 14, 2018 election.

Dissatisfied with the outcome,

PDP and Olusola had filed their petition before the Ekiti State election petition tribunal.

The petitioners alleged, among others in their petition, that the election was marred by a lot of irregularities, including non-compliance with the Electoral Act. But the tribunal on January 28, 2019 dismissed their petition and affirmed the results declared by INEC. The petitioners further appealed to the Court of Appeal, raising seven issues.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lagos Zonal office has arraigned Ecobank Plc before Justice Saliu Seidu of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos on a five-count charge bordering on conversion of funds to the tune of $50,000 and N9.2 million.

Ecobank is facing trial alongside one of its employees, Anieka Udoh.

One of the counts reads: “That you, Ecobank Plc and one Anieka Udoh, whilst being an employee of Eco Bank Plc sometime in 2009, at Lagos within the jurisdiction of the Honourable court, negligently failed to exercise due diligence in relation to conduct of financial transactions with Major General Umaru Mohammed and fraudulently converted Major General Umaru Mohammed’s Ecobank MasterCard Account No. 0015052989 from debit card to credit card and consequently debited Major General Umaru Mohammed’s account in the sum of over USD 50,000 without the knowledge and authority of Major General Umaru Mohammed.”

Another count reads: “That you, Ecobank Plc and one Anieka Udoh, whilst being an employee of Eco Bank Plc sometime in 2009, at Lagos within the jurisdiction of the Honourable court, negligently failed to exercise due diligence in relation to conduct of financial transactions with Major General Umaru Mohammed and fraudulently converted Major General Umaru Mohammed’s Ecobank Domiciliary account to Naira

account Number 0015052989 without the knowledge and authority of Major General Umaru Mohammed and consequently left a debit of N9.2Million in the said Naira account.”

At the scheduled arraignment on March 7, 2019, the first defendant, Ecobank, had no legal representative.

However, at Thursday’s sitting, the first defendant, Ecobank Plc represented by E. Majemite, pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against it.

Counsel to the second defendant, Udoh O.J. Owoh, informed the court about a pending application for bail on behalf of his client, who pleaded not guilty to the charge when he was arraigned.

In her response, counsel to the prosecution, Bilkisu Buhari, objected to the bail application, stating that “the defendant is a flight-risk if granted bail.”

Justice Seidu, after listening to both parties, admitted the second defendant to bail in the sum of N20 million and two sureties in like sum.

One of the sureties must be a relation to the second defendant, resident in Lagos and has a landed property in Lagos, whose title documents must be verified by the court.

The second surety must be a civil servant on grade level 16 in Lagos.

The Judge also directed that the credentials of the second surety must be verified by the court.

Justice Seidu ordered the second defendant to be remanded in prison custody pending the perfection of his bail conditions and adjourned to April 9 and 11, 2019 for commencement of trial.

Nigeria equipped to detect tremor, earthquake - Minister Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Nigeria is adequately prepared to monitor and detect earth moving incidences, tremors and minor quakes experienced in some parts of the country.

This disclosure was made by the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Bawa Bwari Abubakar, Thursday during the defence of the ministry’s budget for 2019 fiscal year at the Senate.

The minister said the federal government has acquired and installed high sensitivity seismometers for this purpose.

He told the Senate Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy that the earth movement monitoring device was acquired as part

of measures to address the country’s geological security, explaining that the device was installed at the Nigeria Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) premises in Gwagwalada, Bwari and Kaduna.

The effort, he said was accelerated in response to the recent persistent earth tremors experienced in the country, most especially around Abuja.

Abubakar said that the proactive measure became necessary in order to predict, detect and monitor earth movements and earthquake related activities.

The minister however, said the growth of the mining industry is being threatened by insufficient and untimely release of funds, direct intervention by states in the management of mineral resources, multiple taxation by states and local governments and inadequate

geological data.

Others, he said include, limited supporting infrastructure, insecurity of mine fields, especially in Zamfara, Kaduna, Plateau and in the North East region and illegal mining and community challenges.

However, he stated that there was no doubt that the mining sector could do better if leakages were blocked.

Earlier, the Senate Committee Chairman, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe, asked the minister to furnish the committee with a detailed breakdown of the budget, declaring that the committee believes the revenue capacity of the mining sector should be raised for the country to benefit.

The committee also said that steps should be taken to position the sector to take its pride of place in the scheme of things in the country.

Short News FG to investigate fire outbreak at NPC Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The federal government has concluded arrangements to set up a committee to ascertain the cause of the fire outbreak that occurred on Wednesday at the office of the National Productivity Centre (NPC), Abuja.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, while inspecting the scene of the fire.

Sen. Ngige, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Nwankwo Alo, expressed shock and sadness at the incident and pledged government’s full support in cushioning its effect.

The minister gave the assurance that more preventive measures would be put in place at the centre to forestall future occurrences.

Director-General, National Productivity Centre, Kashim Akor, while expressing sadness over the incident, noted that the fire recorded no casualty.

He appreciated the quick response of the Federal Fire Service, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in containing the fire from spreading beyond a section of the building.

The director-general also commended the Ministry of Labour and Employment for their quick and prompt visit following a distress call put across to the ministry.

NECO self-sufficient without FG allocation - Registrar Says exam body remitted N1bn to govt.

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Acting Registrar of the National Examinations Council (NECO), Mr. Abubakar Gana, has said that the way the council is currently managing its resources, it would soon be selfsufficient without relying on allocations from the federation account.

Gana, also confirmed that the council remitted about N1billion to the consolidated revenue account of the federation as operating surplus from its internally generated revenue.

Speaking when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Basic Education for the defence of NECO’s 2019 budget, he disclosed that the reforms initiated by the council as well as transparency and accountability in its official dealings led to the operating surplus that was returned to the federal government.

The NECO boss further expressed his desire to expedite action on the reforms being carried out in NECO, assuring the lawmakers that the 2019 budget of the agency would be judiciously implemented.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Senate Committee, Sen. Aliyu Wamakko, commended NECO’s leadership for effective deployment and utilization of resources allocated to it for the conduct of examinations across Nigeria.

Wamakko, who openly extolled the leadership of the exam body for remaining steadfast in ensuring prudence in the agency, confirmed that the leadership of NECO returned unused overhead allocation into the consolidated account in its 2018 budget.

Reps query ministry over N269m ministadium contract Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives Committee on Sports on Thursday frowned at the sports ministry’s penchant of awarding contracts far above the appropriated figure, as typified by the construction of a mini -stadium at N269 million, instead of the N137 million Appropriation Act. According to budget documents available to the House committee, the mini -stadium to be cited in Daura, President Muhammadu Buhari’s home town in Kastina state for which the National Assembly appropriated funds in 2017 and 2018.

Chairman, Technical sub-Committee of the House Committee on Sports, Rep. Abubakar Nuhu Damburam (PDP/Kano) questioned the practice of awarding contracts over and above the amount appropriated, saying that it contravenes the Appropriation Act and the Procurement Act by creating unwarranted debts for the government.

“The ministry awarded a contract for a

mini- stadium in Daura for N269 million as against the N137 million that was appropriated by the committee; tell me, how you can justify such an infraction of the Appropriation Act? “The appropriated sum was N137 million and here you’re reporting an award of the contract to the tune of N269 million. Not only have you violated the Appropriation Act, you have also created unwarranted debts for government by promising to pay what you don’t have,” Danburam said.

Rep. Danburam further pointed out that in the budget document submitted to the House committee, the ministry purchased a Hilux SUV for which N10 million was appropriated, but awarded for procurement at N25 million.

Responding to the queries, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. Olusade Adesola, who represented the minister alluded to the fact that there was no justification for awarding contracts higher than the appropriated amount.

He said that lack of funding in 2017 led to the revaluation of the project having met

with the contractors who said the cost had gone up.

Olusade said “the ministry took the approach knowing that the project is a works related one which had to be awarded at once with the funding spread across the medium term expenditure period.”

A member of the committee, Rep. Lazarus Ogbee, from Ebonyi state said there’s nothing that justifies the award of contracts that are higher than the amount appropriated by the National Assembly, threatening that “if the permanent secretary insists on defending it, the procurement committee of which I’m a member would formally take it up for investigation.”

Based on the detected discrepancies and errors contained in the budget document, the ministry was advised by the committee Chairman, Rep. Bukar Lawal Goni to withdraw the document and correct all errors.

The committee also resolved to suspend consideration of the ministry’s 2019 budget, pending the assessments of federal stadia across the country to ascertain the level of budget implementation on them.

The Imo state governorship candidate of the Sustainable National Party (SNP), Ikechukwu Nuñonye whose party’s logo was allegedly omitted during the general elections has said he will not pursue the matter in the interest of the state.

Munonye stated this by deposing to an affidavit at the Owerri High Court of Imo state, stating that he has no intention whatsoever of seeking redress in court in spite of his exclusion from the contest by INEC. The affidavit reads in part: “I have whole-heartedly accepted the election of Emeka Ihedioha as the governor-elect of Imo state. I dissociate myself from any move or step from any person or my party, to challenge the election and the return of Ihedioha as the governor-elect of Imo state.”

He pointed out that he had not instructed any person or given consent to any person to take legal action on his behalf, maintaining that any legal process purporting to carry his name as a petitioner or facilitator does not emanate from him.

He therefore, noted that his decision to back down from seeking legal redress was predicated on his commitment to the greater good of the state.

“As a citizen of Imo state, I join hands with Emeka Ihedioha, governor-elect of Imo state to move the state forward and engender peace, tranquility and harmony amongst our people, which will in turn accelerate the socio-economic development of the state,” the affidavit stressed.

FAAN extends freebies to passengers in Abuja new terminal The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured passengers of free trolley and wheel chair services at the new terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

General Manager, FAAN Corporate Affairs, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu, told journalists that the incentives would cater for increased activities as more airlines relocate flight operations to the new terminal.

Yakubu also disclosed that a total of 1, 000 trolleys were being expected to add to the existing number on ground, adding that “apart from free trolley, we are also bringing in wheel chairs in the next few days, in addition to the ones being provided by the ground handler.

“We are expecting 1, 000 trolleys and the Rotary Club of Falomo, also donated 18 wheel chairs for us and we will deploy some to Abuja terminal.”

A passenger, Mr. Julius Idegwu, commended the federal government for the completion and opening of the new terminal with the state of the art facilities, saying that it was the first time he had experienced high level of comfort in any Nigerian airport, adding that he had always paid to use trolley in Lagos and Abuja airports.

“This is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria, as far as air travel is concerned and I must commend the government for this. I also discovered that you don’t have to pay to use trolley here, unlike the old terminal which is highly commendable.

“There is also free Wi-Fi network here and I want to urge FAAN, to ensure that this is maintained and also extend it to other parts of the airport,” he said.

APC and the lessons not learnt

Niran Adedokun

Like the drunk who habitually forgets the ignominy that his indulgence brings on him, the ruling All Progressives Congress is about to tread on the path of confusion that finished it before it started out in 2015. But it is hardly surprising.

Any gathering of people intent on selfdelusion would most certainly fall into errors of the past and if care is not taken, harvest worst consequences.

Six years into its existence and nearly four full years into its administration of Africa’s largest nation, the APC has failed to accept that it is an awkward assemblage of unlikely friends, who came together for a special purpose in 2013. It has continued to pretend to Nigerians that it is more than a political party, whose main intention anywhere in the world is the acquisition of power for the furthering of the interests of its major power blocs. The APC has continued to sell itself as the most purist political party that has ever happened on Nigeria and that anyone who shows a trace of personal ambition is the common enemy to all!

But there could be nothing more fallacious, in fact, deceptive! As deplorable as that is however, the APC would not injure itself if Nigerians are gullible enough to accept this party, which has, without discrimination welcomed anyone with a jot of electoral value from the opposing Peoples Democratic Party which it has always portrayed as the architype of the demonic in Nigerian politics into its fold, as the best thing that ever came its way. For the party to fail to be honest with itself would however, even after all the internal wrangling that characterised its administration and the attendant polarisation, be indicative of self-destruct and I will explain.

At a dinner meeting hosted with President Muhammadu Buhari in honour of elected members of the National Assembly on Monday, National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomole was said to have declared to shocked elected members that the APC has decided to present Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila as Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives respectively.

Newspaper reports indicated that the

chairman presented this as fait accompli without providing any opportunities for comments thereafter.

And that is wrong on so many fronts. The first is that while the party should be interested in the personality of those who emerge as leaders in the legislative arms of government, it has no business in dictating same. The National Assembly is a national institution of hundreds of equal members and the choice of the first amongst these equals should be decided only by themselves.

It is even worse that Oshiomole so brazenly disclosed this position at a meeting hosted by a President who has continued to tell Nigerians of his lack of interest in the personality of those who emerge leaders of the National Assembly. Oshiomole’s largely infantile behaviour however robbed the President of the any deniability to what would pass as interference in the affairs of a totally independent arm of government!

However, when a party is tempted to capitalise on the advantage of number to dictate who becomes leader of any of the legislative houses, it must embark on that mission with due respect to internal democracy and active engagement with all other legitimate aspirants to the position. In the absence of this, such a party is inviting an implosion that would ultimately come no matter how long it takes.

And that is already manifesting.

Although he insists on his loyalty to the party, Senator Ali Ndume, who alongside Lawan indicated interest in being Senate President in 2015 has spoken out against the decree by Oshiomole.

Addressing reporters on Tuesday, Ndume expressed the surprise of himself and Senator Danjuma Goje and Abdullahi Adamu who all aspire for the Senate Presidency to the party chairman’s position and directed the party to Section 50 (1a) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which donates the power to elect leaders of the legislature to the members.

“The 109 elected senators and House of Representative members are the constitutional kingmakers as far as emergence of presiding officers of

both chambers are concerned and not national chairman of a ruling party and not even the President”.

This should have sent red signals to any organisation with respect for the democratic rights of people to aspire like the APC claims to be. Unfortunately, the party has gone ahead to defy, even threaten Ndume and people like him who are only asking for a level playing field.

Spokesperson for the party, Lanre Issa-Onilu said in an interview with THISDAY on Tuesday that: “ If Ndume actually understands democracy, with due respect to the number of years he has spent in the National Assembly as a lawmaker, he should realise that we are practising a presidential system of government… the party has taken a position and anybody we presented for election and has won an election on the platform of the APC is duty bound, morally bound and status bound to comply with what the party has decided.”

Seriously? Even if the party has not given the dignity of a conversation to a person, who would possibly have been elected by his people irrespective of what platform fielding him?

This is the arrogance of political party that brought the APC the turbulence that visited President Buhari’s first tenured and because the party failed to be honest with itself, it is four years later traveling the same path.

The APC told itself that the problem with the polity since 2015 has been the leadership of the National Assembly while in fact the party itself failed to live up to its conventional role.

The first being that after elections, political parties take the backspace, leave those elected by the people to deal with public affairs without making statements that abuse the sensibilities of the populace like the APC leadership is currently doing.

The second point is that in coming to a consensus about anything, the party must do everything that it reaches what lawyers call ad idem with all stakeholders. While individual politicians may threaten to pull the heavens down if they do not get what they desire in a political equation, the

role of the party should be that of a mediating father, who even may nurse personal preferences, is astute enough not to show his hand to any of his children but lobby with discretion to arrive at his own purpose.

And when things breakdown the way they did after the emergence of Dr Bukola Saraki and Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara has Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives of the 8th National Assembly for instance, a political party worth its name should deploy its internal machinery to resolve all those issues and get the organs of state working in unison.

Contrary to that, the powers that be in the APC portray Saraki, Dogora and their supporters as the real enemies of Nigeria and threw away the opportunity for any form of reconciliation, which was what precipitated the cat and mouse relationship that exists between the National Assembly till date.

And democracy will never grow this way neither would the APC survive unless leaders and members of the party immediately bring themselves back on the path of genuine democratic practices.

First the APC should speak to itself and accept that what happened between the executive and 8th National Assembly was failure of leadership and then proceed to institute internal democracy and perish the idea of imposing a rubber stamp National Assembly on the country.

The truth is that democracy is designed in such a way that while the legislature is a bride, the executive is the bridegroom, which should continue to court the former if it is to achieve its desired legacy and develop the society.

Therefore, continuous engagement should be encouraged between the executive and other arms of government.

There would be personal interests every now and then, but the executive does not need a malleable National Assembly to function effectively; what it needs is the creativity to manage relationships with not just the legislature but even the judiciary. Such engagement, which does not present the executive as superior or holier than any other arm of government is what Nigeria currently needs.

A needless spat

Wale Fatade

Nothing, perhaps, typifies the needless confusion over National Assembly leaders come May than the comments of Orji Uzor Kalu, one of the new senators waiting to be sworn in. In an interview at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, the former governor said “I will shop around and seek to become the deputy senate president if the APC refused to zone the position to south east.” Most newspapers reported the interview in which he further threatened to contest for the senate presidency if his zone did not get the deputy.

Neither the APC chairman nor the publicity secretary did well with their triumphalism by way of reckless statements over those the party will put forward to lead the ninth assembly. Of course, this is not new to APC; it has always been a difficulty for the party managing success. Some things are crystal clear: the first is that the party holds the majority in both chambers and is well positioned to clinch the leadership positions, save the minority leaders. Second, it also should have more than a say in who occupy these positions since senators and representatives were elected on the party platform. But the third thing that the party echelons seem to have forgotten is that APC boasts of

renegades more than any other party in the last four years.

Even if we ignore the antics of Kalu and his ilk who could have pretended that politics at a level is about rewards for a job well done and considering the votes APC garnered in the south east, offering the zone the deputy senate president would be tantamount to ignoring other zones who delivered massively for the party. Of course, citizens of that area were well within their rights in voting for the party (ies) of their choice, but they should remember that one should not reap where he did not sow. Others like Ali Ndume cannot be ignored totally and that is why the party would do well to ensure that it puts its house in order before seeking to destroy the house that has not even been dedicated. The first misstep by APC was in picking an individual publicly without consultation with others from the zone the office was allocated to. It then followed up with a public announcement of the person even after Ndume had written the party of his intention to contest for the senate presidency.

Regular readers of this column will agree that it has always advocated for party supremacy but also a political party should always seek

to accommodate the interests of its members as practicable as possible.

Not completing negotiations with its members and rushing to announce an individual is a recipe for disaster.

It takes a few disgruntled APC members to halt the party’s train and connive with PDP to install a different person. Ndume, as reported by newspapers, claimed that there were no consultations or discussions at the meeting where the party’s choice was announced, “As I said, such a decision was taken and we were not given the chance to ask questions. We were not allowed to make comments.

The President made his remarks and after that, the national anthem was recited. Even the chosen candidate was not given the chance to thank us or say something about it. Those of us that have indicated interests were not consulted or given the chance to make any comments.”

Things can only get worse if not properly handled. The need for harmonious relationship between the executives and legislators is paramount in taking Nigeria further than where we are presently. This, however, should not translate into a pliant and see-no-evil, hear-no-evil legislature willing to do the bidding of the executive. Since 1999, we have

seen how leaders imposed by the executive on the legislature usually end up. APC leaders will do well too to remember the contest between George Akume and David Mark for the senate presidency in 2011 and how it played out.

If they, however, conveniently forgot that, we might as well remind them of how the party was outmaneuvered in 2015 and Bukola Saraki emerged as president. They should equally be reminded of what the party’s spokesperson said in 2014 when the then House of Representatives speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, defected to APC from PDP with the PDP in the majority, Lai Mohammed said then, “It is not about the fortunes of the party, it is about the fortunes of the country. Now we are going to have more qualitative laws, and this is a man who enjoys support across board so we have a speaker who is accepted on the right and the left.” Interestingly, the PDP has been huffing and puffing that the party would be willing to contest all the leadership positions.

Democracy is a game of numbers and if PDP can muster the required votes, let the game begins.

Hopefully, the APC can sort out the mess and put its house in order before May.

Editorial Commentary PENCIL’S CORNER with

Omenesa

I’m not changing! Bye! I’m not changing my nail polish for you. I am not changing my lipstick hue. I am not changing my eyes to blue. I am not changing the size of my breasts, because after all I tried to do to please you, you chose the opposite of who I was trying to be, for you.

While in the shower, as the heat beat my back, I felt it on my numbing spine, due to the emotional pain I’ve bore. “I am not changing”.

It is sad that at this stage of my life, these are the types of insecurities I face. No woman should be this insecure, but it is what it is. It really is what it is! It is an epidemic I have found myself in, in constant comparison of the size of my butt and the shape of my nose.

When did I grow to be this unsure of who I am? You live your life strutting in confidence, and all it takes is his roving eye to leave you hanging flat on your face, looking from afar, groaning in agony, because he is now with her.

As I stand here trying to deceive myself that he was mine, I need to tell myself the truth. I never had him, though he sure had me. Stop crying over him. Stop crying over her.

Whoever your ex was, stop crying over him or her. There is nothing wrong with you. That person was

in your life for a reason and for a season. You have earned. You have grown, and you have learned.

I would like to tell you to move on but it’s easier said than done. I’ve been there. Cherish the memories and un-train yourself to live in the present. Daydreaming about the relationship means you are living in the past. ACCEPT the present situation, which is…...YOU ARE NO LONGER WITH THIS PERSON. I know you changed yourself for this person. You almost altered yourself and thank God you didn’t crash. One would think that with all the changes you had to make, you shouldn’t miss them. That’s the chemical and spiritual connection you had together, of course you will miss them. It will wear out. What happens when you stop fanning a flame? The fire would eventually quench.

So…..NEVER change yourself for anybody. Accept the love that God has given you. Accept the breakup if there is one, and grow from every opportunity.

Remember, a breakup is a breakthrough. Nobody is better than you. It’s just a different season. It only hurts this bad because you changed so much. Next time, be proportioned to your season and everything will be alright.

OUR POSITION Curbing HIV/AIDS menace in Nigeria The Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has remained a global challenge for which there is no cure. In the three decades since the epidemic reached its height, 39 million people have died while 35 million people are living with the virus worldwide.

Most of the dead and infected are in subSaharan Africa or other low- and middle-income countries of the world. The social stigma remains, but medical advances have allowed people with the disease to live longer, healthier lives.

The first case of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria was reported in 1986. Since then, the number of people living with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA) has steadily increased with the epidemic moving into a ‘generalized’ state.

Data made available during the 2018 World AIDS Day had indicated that about 9.4 million were counselled and tested as regards HIV/AIDS in 2017, out of which 4.98 million were female and 4.031 male. It added that 239,542 persons tested positive (136,987 female and 102,555 male).

The report further revealed that only 18 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria are aware of their status, an indication that there is still a 52 percent gap in advocacy. The HIV epidemic has further weakened and threatened to overwhelm the Nigerian health care system, increased the number of orphans and increased the cost of achieving set developmental goals by decreasing the size of the workforce, mainly adults in their most productive years of life (15-60 years).

The high manpower-intensive sectors of the economy are mostly affected including the agricultural, educational and health sectors as well as the rural economy. In summary, the impact of HIV/AIDS on Nigeria’s social fabric and on its economic development and well-being continue to be pervasive and, unless controlled, will continue to undermine the quality of life of Nigerians.

There is high commitment to fight HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, as evidenced by the initiation of the Presidential Council on AIDS, the National AIDS/ STD Control Programme (NASCP), and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) which is a multi-sectoral agency including members from many government ministries and civil society.

At the state level, State Action Committees on AIDS (SACA) have been established, while at the local level there are Local Action Committees on AIDS (LACA). The mission of NACA is to provide an enabling policy environment and a stable ongoing facilitation of proactive multi-sectoral planning, coordinated implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation activities in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges in the HIV response has remained unchanged in the past years. HIV disproportionally affects people in vulnerable populations that are often highly marginalized and stigmatized. Thus, most new HIV infections and deaths are seen in places where certain higher-risk groups remain unaware, underserved or neglected. About 75% of new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa are in men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons, sex workers, or transgender people, or the sexual partners of these individuals.

These are groups who are often discriminated against and excluded from health services.

The universal goal of HIV prevention and control is to reduce new infections to zero by 2030, but worries remain about gaps in the number of people receiving treatment in Nigeria.

With a population of about 9.4 million People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), an equivalent

to 10 percent of the global HIV burden, only an estimated 1,093,233 are on treatment. Several hundreds of others that qualify for treatment are left out.

In 2013, 22 percent or 51,000 of all new child HIV infections that occurred globally were recorded in Nigeria and findings also show that the nation is not progressing as expected with its Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission of HIV or PMTCT programme because thousands of HIV positive pregnant women that are not on treatment still transmit the virus to their babies during or after birth.

Nigerians appear to be resting on their oars with the false perception that HIV/AIDS no longer poses danger to our society. We must therefore re-jig our information strategy to encourage behaviour change for key affected populations and urge all pregnant women to get screened for HIV. We must also invest more on PMTCT. The message about HIV testing should be clear. Even with all the medical advances, it is essential to encourage HIV testing within the populace to ensure everyone knows their HIV status. We must address complaints by people living with HIV/AIDS about dwindling access to treatment and join efforts to get international donors to renew interest in the funding for the eradication of the scourge.

Tackling the HIV epidemic with so many people not on treatment would be an exercise in futility. Therefore, the way to go is to ensure antiretroviral treatment is available and accessible for all people living with HIV. Nigeria must also adhere strictly to the recommendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) that everyone with a diagnosis of HIV should be placed on antiretroviral treatment as soon as possible, irrespective of viral load.

No country can manage its resources Short News without peace - Buhari Osinbanjo to present start-up Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has told the Special Envoy of the President of Republic of Congo, Mr. Jean Claude Gakosso, that without social, political and economic stability, it will be difficult for any country to effectively manage its resources.

Buhari gave the advice on Thursday when he received Mr. Gakosso, minister of foreign affairs and Congolese in Diaspora conveyed a special message on behalf of President Denis Sassou Nguesso and also congratulated President Buhari on what he called his “brilliant

performance” at the recently held presidential election, at the State House, Abuja.

Republic of Congo is a medium oil producer in Afric, and President Buhari pledged continued collaboration with the country, “so that we can get the best for our respective countries, and invest for development.”

He stressed the need for peace and stability, so that the resources of a country can be used for the good of the people.

“Stability is critical, if a country would manage its resources effectively. I am aware of the problems of our own country. We are

very large, deficient in infrastructure and trying to improve on political and economic stability. In my last lap in office, I will give it my best,” President Buhari said.

He noted that developing countries that had oil used to be very powerful in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) not due to their production capacities, but as a result of technology, adding that the United States no longer depends OPEC nations for her oil and energy needs.

The special envoy wished President Buhari wisdom and good health, so that he can continue to lead his people efficiently and effectively.

packs to 11, 000 ITF graduates Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will on the April 4 at the Musa Shehu Yar’adua Centre in Abuja, present start-up packs to 11, 000 graduates trained by the fund under the National Industrial Skills Development Programme (NISDP).

The beneficiaries are drawn from across the country and are well equipped to succeed, owing to the fact that previous beneficiaries impressed the fund by being employers of labour.

In a statement released by ITF, Director General of the Fund, Sir. Joseph Ari stated that the start-up packs presentation and graduation ceremony will also be graced by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Mohammad Bello; the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah as well as the Minister of state for Industry, Trade and Investment, Hajiya Aisha Abubakar.

“The decision to empower all the graduands with start-up packs was informed by revelations of the monitoring and evaluation of beneficiaries of earlier phases, which indicated that where the trainees were empowered with such support, almost 90 per cent ended up as successful entrepreneurs that were employing others.

“The ITF was committed to imparting skills acquisition to as many Nigerians as possible as it remains the most sustainable solution to the twin problems of unemployment and poverty reduction as government alone cannot provide jobs for all Nigerians,” Ari said.

He further disclosed that a study of six priority sectors of the economy, which the ITF conducted in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) revealed that despite acute unemployment, vacancies exist in the economy that cannot be filled or were hard to fill because of the absence of Nigerians with the required skills, adding that most of these vacancies were indeed being filled by foreigners.

Gov Udom, 25 lawmakers get certificates of return Isaac Job, Uyo Akwa Ibom state Governor, Udom Emmanuel and his deputy, Moses Ekpo with 25 state House of Assembly members -elect on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) yesterday received their certificates of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The only member and loyalist to Senator Godswill Akpabio on the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC), Nse Ntuen, whose victory remains in controversy was denied the certificate of return by the electoral umpire.

Ntuen, was one of the five lawmakers who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join his political godfather, Akpabio when he defected to the All Progressives Congress.

Gov. Emmanuel, who spoke on behalf of other recipients commended the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini, INEC personnel, ad hoc staff and the security agencies for their efforts in ensuring credible and

peaceful elections.

He also commended the people of the state for their love and for re -electing him for another term, and pledged his loyalty and that of the elected officials to the people, adding that they would not rest but work hard to ensure that the people were not disappointed for voting them.

Emmanuel said he and other elected officials have only one project, which is Akwa Ibom state and the people have risen in togetherness to choose their leader and re -dedicated the victory to God and the people of the state.

“I know a lot of people were scared of the kind of election that will hold in Akwa Ibom state. Election has come and gone and we didn’t lose any INEC staff or corps member.

“I think elections in Akwa Ibom state was one of the most peaceful though there were pockets of problems. If you allow me to score the credibility of the election, I will put it at 90 per cent.

“The election under Mike Igini was the best and one of the credible elections in Akwa Ibom state. The whole world knows who he is, but the

only regret is that most of those who know him have stood to demonize him. I think he is one of the best in the country.

“I want to pledge on behalf of all of us that this is a call to duty. This is not the time of self -aggrandizement or to go and sleep or rest but for God to be glorified,” he stated.

Explaining reasons why no certificate of return was issued to the APC member -elect, Igini stated that reports from collation officers sent to the area stated that election results were signed under duress.

He said as such, the national headquarters of INEC would handle the issue of Essien Udim state constituency, adding that he has completed his job of conducting elections in the state.

Igini maintained that INEC would defend all the decisions and results released in respect of all elections conducted in the state at any level, asserting that “as an umpire, we have been given the opportunity to serve the people and our fatherland in the just concluded general elections and that we have done.”

Lagos state government has called on parents of JSS3 students who will sit for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the state not to pay money to anyone under any guise as all fees relating to the examination have been paid by the government.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Adebunmi Adekanye, who made this known, warned public officials to desist from extorting money from parents under various guises, including requesting payment for practical examinations, saying anyone caught will face the consequences of their action.

Recall that in furtherance of the free education policy of the state government, fees for all terminal examinations such as Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and West Africa Senior School Certificate of Education (WASSCE) are fully paid by the government.

The gesture is to relieve parents of the burden of such fees as well as create equal opportunities for all qualified students to assess the examinations and prove their mettle, irrespective of the circumstances of their birth or the financial position of their parents.

Adekanye urged students and parents to report any official of government who requests payment of money for whatever reason to the tutor-generals in their education districts or her office at the Ministry of Education, Alausa for prompt action.

Ag. CJN, others pay tribute to late Justice Chukwuma - Eneh Andrew Orolua, Abuja The acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN) and the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Paul Usoro (SAN) on Thursday poured encomiums on late Justice Christopher ChukwumaEneh of the Supreme Court, who died on February 26.

Speaking at the valedictory Supreme Court session in honour of the late Supreme Court justice on Thursday, Justice Muhammad recalled that he was appointed to the bench of the apex court in 2007 alongside Justice Chukwuma-Eneh.

He said the late Justice Chukwuma- Eneh character content stood him out among his peers and conferred enviable status on him, adding that “behold, this was a man that had at every turn of his life, refused to be dominated by any circumstances and remain indomitable even till death.

“I can confidently cast him in the mould of the very few people in this world who are endowed with the rare wisdom of being content with the criticisms that would do them good than the praises that deceive and mislead them.”

According to him, Justice Chukwuma-Eneh was a man who wittingly deployed wisdom and intellectual prowess whenever he was confronted with any difficult issue relating to the legal profession.

He said that late jurist’s impeachable integrity and outstanding knowledge of law was brought to bear on the panel of justices of the Court of Appeal that upturned the impeachment of Sen. Rasheed Ladoja as governor of Oyo state.

Late Justice Chukwuma-Eneh was also remembered for his decision in the case of National Union of Electricity Employees against the Bureau of Public Enterprises.

His decision that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria was not a superior court of record prompted a constitutional amendment that gave birth to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria as a superior court of record.

PenCom allays fear over management Short News of N8.67trn pension fund Mob beats suspected wizard in Delta community

The National Pension Commission (PENcOM) on Thursday allayed fear over the management of the total assets under its purview, valued at N 8.67 trillion, as at December 2018.

Aisha Dahir-Umar, Acting DirectorGeneral of the commission, made the disclosure while fielding questions from journalists shortly after delivering a keynote address at the 2019 First Quarter Consultative Forum For States, held in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Mrs. Dahir-Umar, who was represented

by Dan Ndackson, Head, State Operation Department, PenCom, said it became imperative to allay fear of Nigerians as regards the safety of the pension assets.

She said the clarification was also necessary in view of the “misleading narratives in the social and conventional media about the safety of the pension assets.”

She explained one that of the reasons the commission was in Ondo State was to assure Nigerians that their contributory pension was safe.

She said the commission had put measures in place to further guarantee the safety of the fund.

According to him, since the existence

of the scheme in the last 14 years, the commission had never been found wanting in managing the fund.

“So, we want to tell Nigerians today that pension fund asset is safe.

“It is true that the federal government has been borrowing from the fund, but I want to assure you that every penny borrowed has been returned.

“If you are conversant with the financial market in Nigeria, you will know that without the pension industry, most of the federal government bonds will not subscribe.

“It is because of the accumulation of these funds that industries survive.

“The scheme has been fueling the weak economy of this country, and without it, Nigeria will not be where it belongs today,” Mrs. Dahir-Umar said.

She said since the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in the country, it had become a veritable tool for federal and state governments to accessing bonds for development purposes.

She noted that since the inaugural forum in 2014, many state had made tremendous progress towards adopting the CPS in their states.

She added that others had improved

their compliance status in the implementation of the scheme.

She pointed out that the essence of the forum was to discuss issues associated with the implementation of contributory pension scheme in states.

“What we are trying to do is to move around the states, particularly the states that have shown interest in the implementation of this scheme and Ondo State has taken meaningful steps on this and that is why we are here,” she said.

However, the Acting D-G expressed dismay on the stagnating compliance of some states as regards the scheme and emphasised that such states risked the benefits therein.

“As at February 2019, the commission observed with concern that the momentum in the adoption of Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) seems to be stagnating as many of the twenty-six (26) states that had enacted laws on the CPS had substantial compliance challenges with the provisions of their state laws.

“We noted that seven (7) states were either remitting only the employees’ portions of contributions or had huge backlogs of both the employer and employee contributions.

Nosa Akenzua, Asaba A middle -aged man identified as Sunday Omoroh was in the early hours of Thursday beaten to stupor and inflicted with a deep machete cuts by a mob in Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government rea of Delta state after allegedly confessing to been a wizard.

It was gathered that the man was spotted in the early hours completely naked and squatting by the entrance of a neighbour’s house and upon interrogation, confessed that he was on his way to the coven with others in the same flight when a heated argument ensued among them and in the process, he was overpowered and flung down by his fellow wizards.

Sources said the victim affirmed that he fell from the flight conveying them to where they normally meet and suddenly saw himself in a place which he described as strange.

He pleaded with the now restive and angry crowd to give him food to eat because he was hungry.

Speaking to our reporter, an eyewitness, Mercy Ejiro, said she was attracted by the sound of someone banging on her gate and on opening the gate, she saw a weird looking figure at the entrance into her compound.

“Immediately, l alerted my neighbours who came out, but to our surprise, the man disappeared,” adding that some hours later, she saw the same weird looking man begging for food, “but this time, he was covered with blood stains all over his body and after he was attacked by a mob.”

A’Ibom agency executes N40m projects in 3 communities Isaac Job, Uyo The Akwa Ibom state Agency for Community and Social Development Programmes (CSDP) has executed nine projects valued at over N40 million spread across three local government areas in the state.

The projects executed in partnership with the World Bank assistance with the state government providing 10 per cent counterpart funds in executing the projects in communities in Onna, Mkpat Enin and Okobo Local Government Areas.

Receiving the community development agency in their communities, the locals appreciated the state government and the World Bank for recognizing their communities that have been neglected in the past as they were lacking in basic infrastructure.

Addressing the project inspection team in his palace, the Clan Head of Okobo, one of the benefitting communities, the traditional ruler, Ofong Asuquo Okwong Ajaik said the health centre constructed in his domain was 70 per cent completed while the market project has been completed and put to use by the community.

Imo electoral commissioner canvasses use of electronic voting Val Okara, Owerri The Imo state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Francis Ezeonu has canvassed for electronic voting system for future elections in the country.

Prof.

Ezeonu made the suggestion during a breakfast meeting with selected journalists at the INEC state headquarters, Owerri on Thursday, said if

the electronic voting system is adopted it would reduce election malpractices such as thuggery, rigging as well as the desperation of over-zealous politicians.

According to him, the electronic voting system would bring sanity into the nation’s democracy and discourage ballot bot snatching and re-writing of election results.

He stated that the nation’s democracy would not thrive in the country if there is no mutual trust among the electorate, stakeholders and players in the

political arena and therefore, expressing worry that the desperation of politicians in elections was a major threat to the growth and survival of democracy in the country.

The electoral officer advised that politicians should consider their job as a call to duty to serve mankind. Prof. Ezeonu further observed that political offices in the country are too juicy, adding that there is the need to put a cap on benefits attached to political offices.

The Lagos state judiciary has embarked on a two-day training workshop to educate magistrates on the application of the restorative justice system at the Multi-Door Court House, Igbosere High Court, Lagos.

Declaring the workshop open, Chief Judge of the state, Justice Opeyemi Oke, said the training was necessary to equip magistrates with the necessary knowledge and skills on how to apply the restorative justice system in their various courts.

Justice Oke stated that the decision to adopt the restorative justice approach in the state was based on the need to ensure that offenders are not just punished, but rather are reintegrated back into society.

She said that “we are changing the narrative in Lagos state by the introduction of restorative justice at the magistrate courts level. This will ensure that restorative justice outcomes are applied to many minor offences.

“Today in Nigeria, we have seen countless cases where defendants are arrested for minor offences such as burglary, wandering and others. They are locked up in our prisons for the flimsiest reasons and this increases the number of those incarcerated and awaiting trial.

Why we are now supporting Ganduje - CUPP Our Reporter The Kano state chapter of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has expressed support for the re-election of Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje at the just concluded governorship election.

CUPP which is a coalition of 42 registered political parties in the state, declared the support for Ganduje through its Chairman in the state, Alhaji Nuhu Isah, when he paid a congratulatory visit to the governor.

“We also express our dismay at the action of the conveners of the news conference for using the coalition to express personal and untoward views for whatever reasons

and influence under the guise of CUPP,” he said.

Short News Ambode, Lagos resident tangle over Lekki land Patrick Okohue, Lagos

A Lagos resident, Ayodele Odunlami, has accused the Lagos state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode of using his office in a manner unbecoming of a governor by deliberately oppressing residents against the ruling of a competent court of law.

Odunlami, an associate of one of the former governors in the state, who is the owner of Block 128, Plot 10, Lekki in Eti Osa Local Government Area of Lagos state, is accusing Gov. Ambode of nepotism and impunity over the hasty revocation of his land, despite a subsisting court injunction issued by a Lagos High Court.

According to Odulami, Gov. Ambode in a letter dated August 8, 2016, a copy of which was given to our reporter, revoked the existing right of occupancy in the said parcel of land.

The governor had attributed the revocation order to the failure by the allotee to develop the land within the stipulated time and non-payment of ground rents and development charges.

Odunlami said he obtained a court order restraining the state government, their agents, privies, or any person acting for and on their behalf from assigning, disposing or purporting to dispose of, dissipating or laying waste to or otherwise dealing with the said land pending the determination of the motion on notice.

Witness narrates how 2 NDDC executives laundered N3.6bn Our reporter A prosecution witness from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has told a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, how two officials working for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) used their companies to transfer hundreds of millions of naira to his company’s accounts.

Led in evidence in chief by the prosecution counsel, Ekene Iheanacho, the witness, Eyo Bassey Francis, a subway developer and contractor, said he designed an online platform for the NDDC and executed contracts on behalf of the commission in states likeAkwa Ibom, Imo and Abia.

He named his companies he used to obtain the contracts from NDDC and transfer the sums of money as he was directed by the officials to include, Romfel Network Limited, Asalidrren Global Limited and CollegePro Synergy Nigeria Limited.

The witness also claimed that apart from executing contracts and subway development, he also did a lot of importation

of materials for his companies and therefore sourced for forex for the procurement of goods from abroad.

Asked if he knew one of the officials, the third defendant, Francis Momoh and his company, Building Associates, the witness said he only got to know him when they met at the EFCC office.

Describing how the various sums of money were transferred to his accounts in 2014 and 2015 respectively, Bassey said he was called sometime in 2014 by Momoh, who told him that some money would be transferred into his account with Heritage Bank.

“After that call, an initial N80 million was paid into my company’s (Asalidrren Global Consultants) account. I procured dollars with it and disbursed the money to some beneficiaries as directed by Tuoyo Omotsuli, the first defendant.

“Also, in 2014 I got another sum amounting to N340 million in two tranches of N160 million and N180 million which l then converted to dollars and thereafter, handed over the amount to the executive director and managing director of NDDC,” he added.

Under cross examination by defence counsel, Prof. Amudah Kehinde (SAN), Bassey denied ever been issued with receipts for the payments he received, adding that he had no idea of the account of the first defendant, but agreed that he bidded for contracts from NDDC. Counsel to Momoh, Mr. Norris Quakers (SAN) while cross examining the witness demanded to know how he got to know about the Youth Development Programme conducted by the NDDC from which he allegedly made over N190 million and how he acquired a property worth N75 million if he wasn’t a contractor with NDDC. While adjourning further trial to April 11 and 12, 2019, Justice Saidu rebuked the witness for leaving his bank accounts open for NDDC officials to siphon public funds when there are official ways agencies of government conduct their financial transactions.

Omotsuli is standing trial with Momoh and two of their companies, Parkers Property and Building Associates having been arraigned late last year by the EFCC over allegations of N3.6 billion fraud.

In its effort to boost legislative business at the local government level, the Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly has organized a two-day workshop on parliamentary management for councilors, clerks and servant -at -arms.

The two -day training was organized by the House of Assembly Advisory Committee on Parliamentary Matters in conjunction with the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Abuja.

Declaring the workshop open at the Ibom Hotels and Golf Resort, Uyo, Gov. Udom Emmanuel said the decision to invest in human capital development of legislators at the grassroots level was due to the importance his administration attaches to the development of the councils.

“This workshop underscores the importance Akwa Ibom state government attaches to the development of the local government areas, to ensure that it is well positioned for the development of the grassroots.

“The rural dwellers look up to the council for answers to the numerous problems bedeviling them. For this reason, you are constitutionally saddled with the onerous task of ensuring their development,” he said.

NCPC implores politicians to sponsor youth on pilgrimage Tom Okpe, Abuja Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Uja Tor Uja has tasked political leaders to invest in the spiritual, political and economic growth of youth by sponsoring them on pilgrimage to Israel.

He stated this in Abuja, when members of APC Grassroots Mobilizers paid a courtesy visit to NCPC headquarters to solicit sponsorship for pilgrimage to Israel.

Tor said that any nation that wants to make appreciable progress must accord youth their deserving place in the nation, as they are no longer the leaders of tomorrow, but leaders of now.

He said that leaders should invest on youth, women and rural communities, the three strategic groups he said that can bring development to the country.

He said: “Development is not all about blocks and bricks. It is about ideas, so state governments should sponsor their youth on pilgrimage for their spiritual growth.

“We have a vibrant youth that can export ideas, not manpower. I want all Nigerian youth to visit Israel and see what God has done for them, then come back and invest in our country.

“In Israel, everything is produced by youth between the ages of 13 to 25. Therefore, our politicians should be exemplary by taking us forward, not backward.

NAPTIP honours Air Peace, Onyema, crew over fight against human trafficking Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) yesterday hailed West Africa’s largest carrier, Air Peace, its Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Mr Allen Onyema and crew members for waging war against human trafficking.

The agency conferred the carrier with an award for providing a platform for checking to traffic in persons and presented Onyema and some crew with ambassadorial medals for foiling an attempt to traffic a three-month-old boy using the airline’s Lagos-Banjul flight on June 4, 2018.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Air Peace has assured that the airline would partner with NAPTIP in the agency’s task of checking human trafficking, including providing jobs for victims of the illicit trade in persons.

Speaking when she visited Air Peace Corporate Headquarters, the Director General of NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah-Donli commended the airline’s flight and cabin crew members for frustrating attempts by human traffickers to use the carrier’s flights for their illegal trade.

She cited the rescue of a three-month-old boy from traffickers on the airline’s Lagos-Banjul flight on June 4, 2018, as a feat that had distinguished Air Peace as an organisation working vigorously to assist the agency to stop human trafficking.

She confirmed that suspects in the Banjul incident, Mrs Edith Anthony-Ibeneme and Mrs Emerald Bassey, had no biological connection to the baby and failed to provide valid adoption documents.

Okah-Donli said the baby was brought back to Nigeria on March 19 and was currently under the care of NAPTIP, stressing that the agency was working with the Gambian authorities to extradite the suspects.

The agency, she said, decided to honour Air Peace, its chairman and crew to encourage others to emulate their worthy examples in fighting human trafficking.

“This ceremony represents NAPTIP’s determination to recognise and encourage such feats which contribute to the stemming of the tide of human trafficking in Nigeria. We are proud to present an award to Air Peace Limited and to decorate the chairman of the airline and those gallant crew members with ambassadorial medals,” Okah-Donli said.

She urged other airlines and organisations to learn from the vigilance displayed by the Air Peace crew in checking human trafficking.

Apart from Onyema, other Air Peace staff decorated

by NAPTIP were Capt. Isi Eghoghon, Capt. Sinmisola Ajibola and First Officer Ayodeji Bode-Thomas. Cabin crew members decorated with NAPTIP’s ambassadorial medals included Chioma Agba, Nana De-Man, Cynthia Ugba, Mojoko Ewane, Taiye Abbey, Victoria Okpiaifo and Ngozi Ezeamaka.

Responding after their decoration, Air Peace Chairman, Mr Allen Onyema said the carrier would partner with NAPTIP as part of the airline’s support for the Federal Government’s efforts in curbing human trafficking in Nigeria.

He pledged that the airline would provide jobs for victims of human trafficking as part of assisting NAPTIP to rehabilitate them.

He commended NAPTIP for the recognition, urging other organisations to support the agency to sustain the great job it was doing in checking human trafficking.

“NAPTIP has been doing a great job in curbing human trafficking but we cannot leave it for government alone.

Air Peace will join hands with you to tackle this menace.

We will help in the rehabilitation of some of the victims by providing employment for them in our organisation.

“It is not enough to rescue these victims and bring them back to Nigeria. They should also be rehabilitated and reintegrated into society. So, we are doing this to transform their lives and make them know that they can earn money doing legitimate jobs whether they are educated or not”, Onyema said.

Afreximbank gives $1.5m support to cyclone victims in 3 countries Plans deployment of post-crisis interventions

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has announced a donation of $1.5 million to support the relief effort in aid of the victims of Tropical Cyclone Idai which devastated the southern African countries of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

Afreximbank President Prof. Benedict Oramah said that the relief package was approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors during its meeting in Cairo on 23 March, adding

that the funds will be distributed across the three countries on the basis of the scale of damage suffered by each country.

Prof. Oramah said that Afreximbank decided to act on the tragedy, given the scale of the devastation brought about by the tropical cyclone, whose death toll is expected to exceed 1,000 and which had affected at least 2.5 million people.

He announced that the funds would be disbursed through the national relief agencies of the three countries as they were well-placed to deploy them to the most critical areas of need in each country.

In addition to the official donation, Afreximbank staff members have launched an initiative to make voluntary contributions to support the relief effort. Such donations will be collected and forwarded to the affected countries.

According to Oramah, Afreximbank hoped that by acting, many other African banks and corporations, some of which are its clients, would be encouraged to also contribute to the relief effort.

The Afreximbank boss also announced a decision by the Board of Directors for Afreximbank to send missions to the affected countries to assess the potential for deploying

its programmes and facilities in support of countries coming out of the crisis in the three countries.

He explained that it was to ameliorate the consequences of events of this nature that Afreximbank launched its Food Emergency Contingent Trade Financing Facility, emphasising the urgent need to rapidly deploy the product across that continent. Afreximbank has a history of intervening in support of African countries in times of crisis. In November 2014, the Bank contributed $1 million to the effort to combat the outbreak of the Ebola virus disease which affected several countries in West Africa.

SEC extends issuance of dividend warrants to 2019 Motolani Oseni The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended the deadline for the discontinuance of the issuance of dividend warrants to December 31st, 2019.

The apex capital market regulating body said is to enable relevant stakeholders deliberate on and address all outstanding issues.

According to a circular on the Commission’s

website, the decision of the Commission is in furtherance of its overriding mandate to ensure that all categories of shareholders and investors are adequately protected.

However, the SEC stated that the e-dividend initiative remains critical to the complete elimination of the phenomenon of unclaimed dividend and Management of the Commission encourages all shareholders who are yet to do so, to get mandated on the e-DMMS platform before 31st December 2019.

The Commission said that the SEC recently

conducted a strategic assessment of the implementation of the e-dividend initiative across the country and reviewed feedback/ observations received from stakeholders and the general public.

“The assessment revealed that while remarkable progress has been recorded in concerted efforts through robust enlightenment campaigns to mobilize more shareholders to get mandated on the e-DMMS platform, there remain a few pertinent issues that need to be resolved as a precursor to the total discontinuance of the

issuance of dividend warrants by Registrars” the Circular added.

The Director-General, SEC, Ms. Mary Uduk at the first quarter capital market committee meeting recently said, “The year 2019 promises to be an interesting one for the Nigerian capital market as we shall undertake a review of the 10-year Nigerian Capital Market Master Plan.

“This review is intended to align the master-plan with current realities on macroeconomic, political and market development fronts.”

Access-Diamond Banks merger: Experts affirm Access Bank rating at stable outlook Temitope Adebayo Experts at S & P Global Ratings have affirmed Access Bank Plc rating at stable outlook over the financial institution proposed plan to merge with Diamond Bank Plc come April 1, 2019.

The merger between Access Bank and Diamond Bank became effective on March 19, 2019, on receipt of shareholders, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), and judicial approvals.

They also raised the issue credit rating on former Diamond Bank’s senior unsecured debt (US$200 mil 8.75 per cent notes due May 21, 2019) to ‘B’ from ‘CCC+’.

The report by S & P Global on Thursday disclosed that, “. This took place in parallel with the transfer of all assets and liabilities, including any creditor liabilities, to Access Bank from Diamond Bank under the merger scheme. We understand that senior creditors of former Diamond Bank’s Eurobond

($200 million 8.75% notes due May 21, 2019) are now exposed to Access Bank’s creditworthiness and therefore we raised the rating on the debt to ‘B’. We expect Access Bank to repay the debt obligation on its due date.

The deal had received all shareholder, regulatory, and judicial approvals at the time of publication. Under the merger scheme, Access Bank acquired all the outstanding shares of Diamond Bank in a cash and shares transaction.

“As of March 19, 2019, Diamond Bank’s shareholders are entitled to receive a cash consideration (Nigerian naira [NGN] 1/ Diamond Bank share, equivalent to N23.1 billion) and a share consideration (two Access Bank shares for seven Diamond Bank shares). In addition, upon the deal completion date, Diamond Bank ceased to exist as a separate legal entity without being wound up.

“The affirmation of our ‘B/B’ ratings on Access Bank is based on our view that short-term acquisition risks are likely to be

offset by the bank’s track record and orderly approach to mergers and acquisitions.

Access Bank has demonstrated its ability to identify and select accretive assets, and it successfully integrated Intercontinental Bank after acquiring it in 2011.

“We believe the Diamond Bank deal will cement Access Bank’s market-leading position in the top-tier of the competitive Nigerian banking sector. The combined entity has total assets of about N6.1 trillion, representing almost a 20per cent total market share.

“The combined entity boasts the largest franchise by customer base, loans, and customer deposits. We believe the deal could expand Access Bank’s customer and loans base compared with peers, underpinning stronger revenue stability during an economic downturn in Nigeria (relying on its non-interest revenues base) and earnings growth as Access Bank deploys its scalable banking platform effectively.

“Over the medium term, we believe that the deal will help Access Bank strengthen

its franchise and revenue generation capabilities. On Dec. 31, 2017, Diamond Bank had over 6.5 million retail customers with the retail business accounting for approximately 70per cent of deposits and 35per cent of revenues. Diamond Bank has also established partnerships with several parties to enhance its digital banking offering. We think these strategies will accelerate Access Bank’s position in that space and increase retail transaction volumes.

“Access Bank’s corporate franchise will also benefit from the bank’s more competitive positioning as well as Diamond Bank’s deposit franchise, which will likely lower its cost of funding. Diamond Bank’s retail focus enabled the bank to build a lowcost (2.7per cent in 2017 compared with 4.7per cent on average for peer banks) and stable retail deposit base. We forecast the net interest margin to increase significantly toward seven per cent throughout the 2019-2021 forecast period, while fees and commissions will rise by N30 billion”, the report further said,

Boeing corrects 737 MAX software after fatal crashes Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Boeing Co has said that it had reprogrammed software on its 737 MAX to prevent erroneous data from triggering

an anti-stall system that is facing mounting scrutiny in the wake of two deadly nosedown crashes in the past five months.

According to Reuters, the planemaker said that the anti-stall system, which is believed to have repeatedly forced the nose lower in at least one of the accidents,

in Indonesia last October, would only do so once per event after sensing a problem, giving pilots more control.

It will also be disabled if two airflow sensors that measure key flight data offer widely different readings, Boeing said, confirming details reported by Reuters on

Tuesday.

“We are going to do everything that we can do to ensure that accidents like these never happen again,” Mike Sinnett, Vice President for Product Strategy and Future Airplane Development told reporters on Wednesday at a Boeing facility near Seattle.

ETI’s PBT up 53% to N135.5bn, hits N8trn in total assets Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) has reported a 53 per cent increase in Profit Before Tax (PBT) to N135.5 billion in 2018 financial submitted to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday.

The pan-African financial institution had reported N88.3 billion PBT in the 2017 financial year.

According to the audited result and accounts of 2018, the lender reported 46 per cent increase in profit to N102.2 billion as against N69 billion despite reporting one per cent increase in gross earnings to N773.3 billion in 2018 as against N763.6 billion reported in 2017.

The group operating profit before impairment losses rose by two per cent to N218 billion as against N214.28 billion reported in 2017.

From the balance sheet position, total assets rose by 20 per cent to N8.2trillion from N6.86 trillion reported in 2017, driven by 25 per cent and 17 per cent increase in deposits from customers and loans and advances to customers respectively.

Loans and advances to customers moved from N2.86 trillion in 2017 to N3.33 trillion in 2018 while deposits from customers closed 2018 at N5.8 trillion from N4.65 trillion.

The Group CEO, ETI, Mr. Ade Ayeyemi said, “Our financial performance in 2018 was remarkable in many ways and reflected the meaningful and significant progress that we have made against the priorities that we set in our ‘Roadmap to Leadership’ strategy.

“We delivered a 51per cent growth in profit before tax to $436 million and generated a return on tangible equity of 21per cent.

Our cost-of-risk of 2.4 per cent was an improvement on 2017 and demonstrated the progress that we have made addressing credit quality issues and enhancing internal control processes.

“In Francophone and Anglophone West Africa regions we delivered sustainable growth and value for shareholders.

While in Nigeria, and the Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, regions we are spurred on by the gradual progress being made. Our businesses continued to serve customers diligently and with purpose and all delivered profit growth in 2018, with Commercial Bank overturning the loss before tax made in 2017.

“We continued to invest in the technology platforms to accelerate our shift from ‘physical’ to ‘digital’ and we are supporting our customers with digitally innovative products to enrich their engagements with Ecobank. To meet a key goal of expanding financial services to the unbanked, we have increased the number of Xpress Points, our agency network, to about 14,000 and we plan to grow this number.

Our cash management and trade finance products, such as Omni and e-Trade, are providing our customers with the convenience and efficiency of executing their cross-border transactions across Africa.”

How Sanwo-Olu can stem tide of building collapse in Lagos – Jeje Bosun Jeje, a lawyer, is former Commissioner for Housing in Lagos. In an interactive session with some members of the media in Lagos at the weekend, Jeje proffered solutions to the menace of building collapse in the state and set agenda for the Governor-Elect of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. PATRICK OKOHUE reports.

What is your take in the recent building collapse in Lagos State?

Well, the building collapse of recent in Lagos State is a sad thing, more so when people lost their lives in it. As a commissioner for Housing, we were very concerned about the structures we had in Lagos State. And the government had been always on top of anything like that.

But after the collapse in Itafaji, I really appreciate the role of Lagos State Government for being proactive in the steps taken.

Many of those houses need to be removed really. When you look at the structures in Lagos Island, having worked there in my banking days, I could remember that many of the buildings were packed up. But it is a crowded place. But if you want to remove a house, you must also provide alternatives.

And when I listened to Lagos State Government asking those to be removed to move to a resettlement at Imota and

Badagry, I could see that the government is really prepared to take the bull by the horns. Yes, the houses are there and the structures are very defective, they have to be moved and government is really prepared to take a political will to do it. But they have decided to wield the political will. I really commend the Lagos Government for that.

What other tasks are before the government to tackle the menace?

The follow up step is looking at the approvals for construction and strict monitoring of constructions in the state. It goes beyond the approval, you see many of the developers taking the approvals and going ahead to have substandard materials in the construction of those approvals they have. So, we need to have effective monitoring of those approvals after they have gotten them so that we don’t have issues of collapse buildings again.

Lagos Speaker, Obasa hails Tinubu, says he’s greatest politician of this generation

So far, it is good, what the government has done in the recent collapse. I must commend the government for the steps taken.

What really causes structures to collapse in any part of the world?

Mostly it is the use of substandard materials. People are ready to make profit at any cost.

So, you see people that where they should use ten bags of cement, they are ready to use five.

They are ready to compromise at any level so that they can have the construction going on. But it is now the duty of the monitoring team to ensure that right materials are used.

And then we have to appeal to the citizens again to ensure that they use the right materials so that we don’t have repeat of the sad incident.

And while we blame developers, we have a duty too to encourage the government also to have the political will to take decisions on whatever it has said.

It is about the political will that led to some of the building still standing. But once you decide and you are ready to take the bull by the horns, you would not have the buildings still standing up. Once they are marked for demolition, you go ahead and demolish them.

And if you need to rehabilitate some people, then you have to make provision for that.

Are developers liable for prosecution?

There is nothing wrong in prosecuting anybody found culpable in the matter. Once a building has gone down, and it is discovered that sub-standard materials used are the root cause of the collapse, there is nothing wrong in prosecuting the developer.

What advice do you then have for the government over this dangerous trend?

The approval aspect is going to be looked into. We have to ensure that every building has an approval. Outside the approval, there must be the monitoring aspect. We must monitor structures that are being constructed. We must look at it and ensure that right materials

Bosun Jeje

are used. These are the measures that will stop the collapse of building. Once you don’t monitor them, developers are ready to compromise at any level.

But when they know that the monitoring agents would soon be around, or that they could come around at any time, they would try as much as possible to ensure that they comply with the building instructions. Those are just the aspects we have to reinforce. If we don’t do that, the menace would continue.

How do you see the in-coming governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu vis a vis his ability in handling issue of building collapse?

I am happy that the in-coming governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited the collapsed building site in Lagos and has talked about regeneration of buildings in Lagos Island. I am happy about that. That shows the direction the governor-elect would go.

Lagos Island actually needs a

lot of regeneration. So, since the Governor-elect has even said it, it is heart-warming.

He has been in the system for long and he knows what we have been discussing in the administration of government in Lagos State. So, since he has said he would do that, I would encourage him to go ahead and do it so that we would not continue to have issues of collapsed building any more in Lagos State.

Do you have any agenda for Sanwo-Olu? Well, I handled housing when I was in Lagos Government and I know it is the heart beat for a Mega City. So, I will re-encourage him to focus more on housing.

We did a lot when I was in Lagos State Government when I was Commissioner for Housing. And I want him to focus more on housing. Since he has also been in government, I know he has a lot of agenda himself. So, I will just encourage him to go ahead

Daily Times Nigeria Friday, March 29, 2019

A sober analysis of Ganduje’s victory Mustapha Aminu After a palpating, energy -sapping and, unarguably, one of the most excruciating and expensive electioneering campaigns in the annals of democratic contests in the historically politically volatile Kano state, the election held on the 9th of March, 2019, anti climaxed in a verdict of “inconclusive” by the Independence National Electorate Commission, INEC. That was following the electoral umpire announcement of the scores for APC’s flag bearer, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s at 987,819 votes against that of Abba Yusuf of the PDP with 1,014,474votes.

In the re-run election held two weeks later, 23rd of March, 2019, the PDP candidate slipped to scoring below his APC rival with 1,024,713 to 1,033,695votes.

Not unexpectedly, a few have gone to town assailing the victory of the governor as flawed on the ground of rigging through ballot box snatching and stuffing, vote allotment and violence by APC agents in cahoots with security personnel against supporters of the opposition PDP. Even before proving the legion of allegations on the basis of which the opposition are claiming that Ganduje’s ultimate victory failed the test of probity, they have also been playing up the card of morality as a reason why majority of the electorate could not have given him a mandate for a second term As it turned out last Saturday however, not only did Ganduje leveled up by erasing the 26,000 vote deficit, he went on to trounce PDP’s Alhaji Abba Yusuf by polling 8,982 votes over as margin of victory. The outcome of the polls literally translates to mean that, in spite of all the campaign by his traducers, the greater majority of people in Kano have not been convinced to go against their incumbent governor. The message implicit in the people’s disposition would be something like: the benefits of having the man are far more than the benefits of losing him.

The fact is, unlike those before him, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is a silent achiever, in fact, a workaholic, who would rather that his records should speak for him. He is not one that regales in the practice of thumbing his chest or in rolling out the drums in celebration of every bit of his achievements.

Otherwise, in concrete terms, his administration has in less than four years, a myriad of tangible, meaningful landmarks in the facets of the social, economic and infrastructure developments of the state, that, arguably,

surpass the records of any of his predecessors.

In the social aspects of governance and development for example, it is to the credit of Ganduje’s administration’s deft social engineering that, the usually combustible state has been experiencing unprecedented peace and tranquility in the last three years. Kano state under him has been able to ward off the menace of banditry, cattle rustling and the Boko Haram insurgency pervading the neighbouring states. This is by no means insignificant if cognizance is given to the very huge human population and cosmopolitan nature of the state. At a time of receding fund allocations from the federation account compounded by general economic downturn which saw the country going into a recession, it is remarkable that Ganduje’s government has been one of the few in the federation where workers’ salaries and pensioner’s allowances are being paid regularly. That is, just as the government has not only maintained the state’s scholarship schemes for its students in local and foreign tertiary institutions, it has sanitized the scheme by ridding it of waste and other forms of corruption as well as, boosting it by expanding number of beneficiaries.

Essentially a state whose economy thrives on commerce and agriculture, a yardstick for measuring records of any administration in Kano is logically, one that takes stock of its tracks in those two sectors.

In this regard, the creation of a conducive environment that makes for investment and related commercial activities, the robust rural transformation programs that have given rise to a meshwork of rural road construction and electrification projects across the state are a few of the scorecard of governor Ganduje since he mounted the mantle of leadership.

The people of Kano state, one must give it to them, come as simply the most politically conscious, discerning, articulate and radical in the country. Go HAJIYA MARYAM JENNIFER IBRAHIM

Gov Danduje

down the lane of history, from the first Republic when majority of the electorate there went out for the NEPU, against the NPC which was the mainstream political vanguard of the then Northern Region through the Second Republic when again, they queued behind the PRP instead of the NPN, the reincarnated NPC. In 1983, Kano people showed their political stuff of the radicalism and independence by going for late Sani Bakinzuwo, an otherwise political underdog of Nupe extraction, against the choice of incumbent Abubakar Rimi, now also late.

Similarly benefiting from Kano people’s political sagacity and freewill was Senator-elect, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau when, against all permutations, he was voted against incumbent RabiuMusa Kwankwaso.

Against the backdrop of

MISSING C OF O

their historical antecedents on matters of the elections, Alhaji Umar Abdullahi Ganduje would have been preferred by majority of Kano voters therefore, due to some of the multiple reasons highlighted above. The intelligent electorate would have refused to be hoodwinked by the orchestrated cacophony of propaganda mounted by the opposition because of their perception of victimization or, political vendetta against him.

The discerning Kanawa would also have pitched their tents with Ganduje because they are convinced that, with him as their pilot, they are sure to soar to the Next Level.

By the way, some pundits have retorted to opposition’s accusation of describing election as falling short of the standards of transparency as hypocritical because, in truth, the election in

Kano State as in most other places in country was, more or less, a rigging competition between all the political parties. In which case, the winners were those most capable to rigging and therefore, if the APC is guilty of rigging the governorship election in Kano State, to that extent, it was simply because Ganduje was victorious in the rigging competition in which the PDP’s candidate was a participant. On a final note, even if the Kano people had shown signs of disaffection against Ganduje, the opposition parties were just not in good stead to build on the sentiments to advantage. Fraught with infighting and resultant weakening of ranks, they were not properly articulated for what was a Titanic battle. Thus, the inevitability of the epochal victory of Ganduje in his second term bid.
