N/Delta youths issue 7-day ultimatum Short News to Wike to reopen NDDC office Kano spends over N500m in 2 years Isaac Job, Uyo

Angry youth drawn from the nine oil producing states have issued a seven-day ultimatum to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, to reopen the headquarters of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) or risk prolonged protest in the state. A coalition of youth groups under the aegis of the Consolidated Youth of Niger Delta (CYN) led by its National Coordinator, Comrade Frank Naday, who addressed newsmen after their emergency meeting in Uyo yesterday, explained that the NDDC office was sealed a week ago by the Rivers state government over the non – remittance of taxes by the new management of the commission led by the Managing Director, Prof. Benson Brambaifa. “From our findings and the information made available to us, it is clear that the commission has paid the backlogs of revenues it is owing the Rivers state government. “We want to ask the Rivers state government to as a matter of urgency, unseal the commission’s office complex to enable workers

gain access to their various offices. “The Niger Delta Development Commission is bigger than Rivers state because it covers the Niger Delta region and not Rivers alone. We are aware that Rivers state government is trying so hard to play politics with the commission because the system feels threatened that Prof. Brambaifa-led administration at NDDC is doing tremendously well,” Comrade Naday stated. The coalition of youth also expressed worry that efforts at addressing their plights through the NDDC as an interventionist agency were being thwarted by the government of Rivers state and appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, to intervene as the prevailing peace in the region maybe truncated. “In a couple of months that the new NDDC leaders assumed office, they have been able to pay contractors and return them back to site; they have addressed the problem of water hyacinths too. “It is also on record that the students studying abroad in various universities in the United Kingdom have received their stipends and their schools have also been taken care of by the

commission. “The rate of construction in Niger Delta region is really on the increase as almost all the states in the region are experiencing massive road construction,” he stressed. Naday disclosed that “the NDDC led by Prof. Brambaifa, has electrified a lot of communities in the Niger Delta region and has also given them water projects to enable them have good drinkable water. “We condemn the actions of the Rivers state government in its entirety and we urge the state government to leave NDDC alone because shutting the office down, is doing more harm than good “Imagine where thousands of youth that are employed by the various contractors are shut out because of the shutdown of the commission, it will lead them to various criminal activities in order to make ends meet.” He therefore, enjoined President Buhari to confirm Prof. Brambraifa, as the substantive managing director of the NDDC, noting that “he is the first among his predecessors who is not using the agency as a spring board to aspire to any elective political office.”

to fight malaria

The Kano state government on Thursday said it spent not less than N500 million between 2016-2018 in its efforts to fight malaria in the state. State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Kabir Getso, made this known at a press conference in Kano to commemorate the World Malaria Day 2019. He said the amount was expended on the provision of free drugs, mosquito treated nets for pregnant women and other needs. “It is worthy to note that between the period of 2016-2018, the government under the leadership of Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje has provided the under listed items worth over N500 million to combat malaria in the state. “Within the same amount, testing kits were also purchased and distributed to health facilities in the 44 local government areas of the state. These items, include free anti-malaria drugs to various healthcare facilities, malaria diagnostic test kits, free malaria prevention drugs to pregnant women, microscopes and long insecticidal mosquito treated nets,” he said.

Sen. Boroffice frowns at jostling for APC guber ticket in Ondo

The Senator Ajayi Boroffice, representing Ondo North Senatorial District has frowned at the early jostling for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state. Sen. Boroffice made this known in a press statement made available by his media spokesman, Mr. Kayode Fakuyi on Thursday in Akure. The senator said that the party stakeholders in the state ought to address factors that were responsible for the party’s poor performance in the February presidential election and be united. “Having had an unimpressive outing in the 2019 general elections, this is the time for all leaders, stakeholders and party members to unite for genuine reconciliation and re-energize our party in Ondo state. “It is too early to be fighting and causing unnecessary noise as to who becomes our party’s candidate come the 2020 governorship election,” the statement read and refuted claims that Boroffice had endorsed and thrown his support behind a particular governorship aspirant. “In addition, we are aware some governorship aspirants have been making frantic efforts to woo and lobby prominent leaders in the political structure of Sen. Boroffice to support their governorship aspirations under the premise that he has said he has no governorship ambition.

Group faults last minute contract awards by Gov. Abubakar Samuel Luka, Bauchi A socio- political group known as Women Coalition for Sustainable Peace and Viable Democratic Gains has faulted attempts by the outgoing government in Bauchi state to award last minute contracts worth billions of Naira. The group described the move as frivolous, wicked, unfair and an attempt to put the state in a difficult financial crisis by increasing the financial burden on the incoming administration. Speaking to reporters at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) state secretariat in Bauchi, the Leader of the group, Addaji Abdullahi flanked by their spokesperson, Fatima Muhammad and representatives of various women groups, further queried the decision of the state government to reinstate district and village heads sacked since 2015. According to them, the plan by the government to award contracts through the State Universal Education Board (SUBEB) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is suspicious and worrisome. Addaji said “we want to caution the outgoing administration in the state against awarding frivolous contracts which may plunge the state into further financial quagmire. It won’t be in the path of honour to cripple the incoming administration through award of these contracts and loans without following due process.” Suspected yahoo boys pareded by EFCC.

Account of N766m shortfall, Reps c’ttee orders Pencom Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives ad hoc committee probing the activities of the Pension Commission (PenCom) on Thursday ordered the commission to explain how it expended the shortfall of N766 million it deducted from N43 billion in separate transfers made from the commission’s accounts. Speaking at the ongoing probe of the activities of PenCom, Chairman of the House ad hoc committee, Rep. Elkanem Iboro, informed the commission’s legal team which represented the PenCom management at the hearing to give a detailed account of the shortfall out of an initial N32.3 billion from a N33 billion transfer made by the commission from one account to another.

Rep. Iboro said: “I am demanding this explanation because of the spotlight on the N33 billion transfer in the media of late purportedly paid to Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs). “What happened to the outstanding of N766,597,625,00 indicating a shortfall that can’t be located in the statement of account that is with the committee. Also, there’s another N10 billion transfer made from one account to another account with another excess. This phenomenon runs throughout all the accounts that the commission operates. “This committee will like to know what happened to all these excesses and shortfalls as stated in the statements made available to us by the Central Bank of Nigeria.” Responding to the queries, PenCom’s legal team demanded to scrutinize all the payments schedules released to the

committee, arguing that the commission keeps accurate account of all its financial transactions and as such, there’s no cause for alarm. Also, at yesterday’s hearing, a member of the ad hoc committee, Rep. Benjamin Wayo, told the PenCom team that the Act establishing the commission was wrongly applied by the commission’s management. “You interpreted the Act wrongly because the secretary to the government of the federation can’t alone act by giving you instructions to employ or make payments when there’s no board in place,” the lawmaker stated. Before the committee adjourned sine die, the chairman asked the PenCom team to make available vital documents such as payments made to all contractors, contracts executed so far and names of such contractors.

Osinbajo to deliver LASU’s 23rd convocation lecture May 16 Esther Taiwo, Lagos Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is expected to shed more light on the role of African universities in nation building when he delivers the 23rd convocation lecture of the Lagos state University (LASU) titled: “Africa centres of excellence in African universities: A veritable catalyst for nation building and development” on May 16. During the convocation, LASU will be graduating a total of 14, 369 students who have successfully completed their diploma, first and second degree programmes with 57 students graduating with first class honours. This was disclosed by the Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Lanre Fagbohun, at a press briefing on Thursday as part of activities to kick-start the ceremonies. It would be recalled that the institution graduated 26 first class students last year, a feat that was attributed to the quality assurance regime being institutionalized by the university. Fielding questions from newsmen, the vice chancellor revealed that graduates of the institution were ready for the competitive world and that they had good plans for themselves. “The ready set work programme of the institution has exposed our students to how to be self-reliant and we have also started career development centre where all students are being tutored on different vocations and they are being monitored. “LASU has a centre for entrepreneurial studies. The bottle water that the institution will use for the convocation ceremony is being packaged by the students, who are working there,” he said. Prof. Fagbohun disclosed that the overall best graduating students are Oladotun Ola-Gbadamosi from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Epe campus and Nneka Karen Enumah of the Faculty of Science, the duo attained the same highest cumulative grade point average of 4. 88.

Good Governance: Juxtaposing Borno and Akwa Ibom scenario

Emmanuel Umohinyang

Governance all over the world is serious business in view of its strategic importance to the growth and advancement of any nation. One can therefore safely conclude that it is not for nothing that citizens of most advanced countries take the issue of governance seriously. This no doubt is one of the major reasons why they dig into the past of those who aspire to lead them because of the conviction that it allows them to make informed choices during elections. Even the Nigerian constitution says security and welfare of the citizens is the primary essence of government. Unfortunately, events of recent years seem to have turned that into a mere academic exercise only obtainable in other climes. Curiously, these are places frequently visited by our leaders who are never in short supply of stories about good governance in these places. They flaunt the names of such places which they and their ilk travel to even with tax payers money without bringing forth the lessons learnt there from. All over the nation, stories about governors in search of foreign investors daily grace the pages of our newspapers and other media. But the real question is how many of these governors have successfully brought such investors to invest in their states? This question is instructive in view of the fact that there is hardly any state in this country whose governor has not travelled abroad in search of these elusive investors. Is it impossible for a governor to perform without having to waste scarce resources on foreign trips in search of the so – called investment?. Using Akwa Ibom state as case study, one would almost weep for the state considering the reverse gear it has entered in the last four years.

While states like Abia, Enugu, Imo, Rivers and others within the same axis are waxing stronger, “The Land of Promise” is no longer promising Things are no longer like the Akpabio era when the state was the poster state of the PDP and reference point of “Uncommon transformation” for which it was noted. The question to ask is “What has suddenly gone wrong in the once promising state? The governors of Enugu, Rivers, Abia, Cross River, etc came on board at the same time with Governor Udom Emmanuel, what are they doing differently? Perhaps, those who say that the governor was overrated by his predecessor are right after all, in view of his woeful performance. Curiously, this was a man who rose to the peak of his career in the corporate world and had the benefit of learning the art of governance under a successful administration. Four years down the line, instead of continuity of good governance in the state, the tale is that of retrogression. Even Uyo, the state capital is in darkness daily as the Emmanuel administration can barely power street lights of roads constructed in the state capital. Meanwhile, while his colleagues are doing well in other states, and President Buhari commended Governor Ben Ayade for providing good governance in Cross River State when he was invited to commission projects, instead of accepting his lack of vision, Emmanuel continues to blame his lack of performance on the exchange rate of the naira. He added a curious twist last year when he said it was out of place to compare his number of years on the seat with Akpabio’s eight years. May be he has forgotten that within the same period, Akpabio had successfully written his name in gold through several infrastructural projects never seen in many states! President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest

visit to Boko Haram – ravaged Borno state where he went to commission some major projects should make Udom Emmanuel and lovers of Akwa Ibom weep. This is a state that has constantly been under Boko Haram invasion in the last 10 years, yet has witnessed tremendous development in all critical sectors. During the President’s recent visit, a visibly happy Buhari commissioned a number of projects, including a Solar Power Plant, waste recycling plant, tomatoes processing factory, onions and ginger dehydration plant, cassava processing factory, corn chips production plant, elementary school desks and chairs production plant and grains and cement sacks production factory. Others include two mega schools at Ngomari, Muhammadu Buhari , Yemi Osinbajo and Aliko Dangote Schools, eight kilometers road at Bolari, a general hospital, a drip irrigation production plants, the Ibrahim Ali industrial park, the 246 apartment legacy apartments, Maiduguri City Centre remodeling, a paste production company among others. All these and more are spread across the entire State, so residents of Bama, Monbar, Mafa, Konduga, Damboa, Nganza, Maiduguri and more all have something to cheer. For those who have followed the Ibrahim Kashim administration, it is a clear departure from what is been currently witnessed in Akwa Ibom state in terms of service delivery. Aside embarking on projects that are most needed by the people, these are verifiable projects that are there for all to see, as opposed to the “newspaper achievements” of Emmanuel. One would be on track to say the scenario painted is comparable with what we saw under former President Goodluck Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Under Jonathan, the nation made so much from oil as the price rose astronomically. Years after, what were the gains of that era,

which could be regarded as “oil boom II”? Despite all the revenues made, things went from bad to worse largely due to massive corruption as “stealing was not corruption” during that era Today, even with lesser accruals from oil, Nigeria is been fixed gradually infrastructure wise across the country. From railways, roads and more, Nigeria is on the rebound. Back to Akwa Ibom, this is a state that has collected biggest allocation and is even an oil– producing state, which means more bucks. How can Emmanuel list regular payment of salaries as a major achievement in oil-rich Akwa Ibom? This is why the recent report by the National Bureau of statistics (NBS) which listed the state as having the largest unemployment rate in the country with 37.7 percent, has exposed the governor despite his claim of providing jobs We must thank the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for unearthing and instituting the humongous corruption case in respect of Akwa Ibom State. What the Akwa Ibom case is indeed telling us is that all hands must be on deck to rescue the sinking state. Governor Kashim Shettima has even taken it further by showing that even with meager resources; a good leader can make his state an Eldorado. The case of Akwa Ibom, a state blessed with human and natural resources should therefore not be different, if it is to be where it is supposed to be. Are you not wondering why neither President Buhari or any former Head of State has not commissioned Emmanuel’s ‘projects’? Was Former President Obasanjo not in the state? Did he commission projects? The time to get thinking about how to take Akwa Ibom to where it truly belongs starts now.

El-Rufai’s ‘abrogation’ of indigene-settler dichotomy in Kaduna right step in wrong direction

Jideofor Adibe

Governor El Rufai of Kaduna State, who rarely shies away from controversy or misses an opportunity to showcase his courage, recently, took a very bold step of abrogating the indigenesetter dichotomy in his state. Announcing the abrogation of the dichotomy in his official twitter handle on April 11, 2019, the Governor said: “In Kaduna State, the Indigene/Settler dichotomy has been abolished. Every person resident in Kaduna State would be accorded all rights as citizens and indigenes of the state. The Kaduna State Resident Registration Agency will create a reliable database of all residents in the state, with a view to providing useful data for planning, security, social welfare, education, employment, financial services, housing, health and other services. Elizabeth Joshua Ndonah will head the Kaduna State Residents Registration Agency.” El Rufai said that by that abrogation, anyone residing in the state, irrespective of the person’s religion or ethnicity, would automatically be entitled to anything in the state. It should be recalled that the Northern Governors Forum, concerned about the contentious issue of indigene-settler dichotomy in the region, resolved at a meeting in Kaduna in February 2017 that such a dvide promotes ethnic identities and contestations and should therefore be abolished to give every Nigerian citizen living in the North a sense of belonging. El Rufai became the first to walk the talk. Not surprisingly El Rufai’s decision stirred the hornet’s nest. For instance a Southern Kaduna based group, in a document titled “May Day Clarion Call”, rejected El Rufai’s new citizenship policy on the grounds that such a policy would “abolish the rights of the indigenes of Kaduna State and pave the way for their being oppressed and excluded from the affairs of their state, right on their homeland.”

The respected online newspaper Premium Times, in its editorial of April 30, 2019 took sides with Governor El Rufai, and came hard on the Southern Kaduna group. According to the paper: “The arguments of this southern Kaduna group are highly unfortunate in this day and time. And it provides a window for other Nigerians to see how capricious elite from a minority section perceive equal citizenship, which is considered as a threat to their narrow nativist privileges. What the southern Kaduna group is saying in stark terms is that it rejects an inclusive Kaduna State. In the 21st century, a group is openly arguing against citizenship because it thinks that only “indigenes” should enjoy full rights in what is called the homeland. But the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria recognises the right of any Nigerian to reside in any part of Nigeria and to enjoy the full rights of citizenship wherever they live.” While I fully agree with El Rufai’s idea of creating a reliable database of all residents in the state, I beg to disagree with his citizenship policy, and with Premium Times which defended it. I also feel the Premium Times took a rather very simplistic interpretation of the grounds of opposition by the Southern Kaduna group – just as it failed to robustly interrogate El Rufai’s newcitizenship policy – however well intentioned it may be. There are several observations: One, it should be recalled that a major ground for advocating for the abrogation of the indigene-settler dichotomy by the Northern Governors Forum is allegedly because it fans and exacerbates ethnic tension. But this is only partly true because contrary to the impression in some quarters, the indigene-settler problem is found across the length and breadth of the country, even in villages that appear to have a homogenous population. This means that such

abrogation, on its own, cannot address the problem of ethnicity in the country – which has an entirely different cause. This is because though ethnicity originally was employed as a mask over intra-elite competitions for scarce socioeconomic and environmental resources, over time, it has acquired objective and ideological characters such that it now exists as an independent variable of its own. To therefore believe that abolishing the indigene-settler dichotomy in Kaduna state(which is already combustible with ethnic and religious polarisations and suspicions) will solve the problem of ethnic and religious acrimony in the state is akin to General Aguiyi Ironsi believing that his unitary decree No.34 would be able to impose unity on the various bickering ethnic groups in the country in the 1960s. If anything, El Rufai’s new citizenship policy is more likely to trigger xenophobia and worsen the problem it set out to solve. Two, there are group dynamics in politics anywhere in the world. This means that we cannot wish away mobilization of people along certain identity markers like race, ethnicity, religion and social class.I am not aware of any society that has succeeded in doing so without recourse to a form of ethnic cleansing – as some Western societies did. Of course once in awhile a society gets lucky to have father figures like Julius Nyerere and Nelson Mandela who are able to command respect and legitimacy from across the contending fault lines, making them unifying symbols. When a society is not lucky to have such figures as their leaders, it becomes easily obvious that the notion of unity is neither ideologically, philosophically or even ethnically and religiously neutral. Essentially a precedent question when someone calls for unity or proposes projects to achieve unity is, ‘unity from whose perspective’?

This is why it is important to listen to various contending voices in any assumed unity project and get the buy-in of as many of the competing groups as possible before a final decision is taken. Three, what is the difference between one’s citizenship rights and the rights of indigenes? Very often one gets the impression that citizenship rights are mistaken for rights of indigenes. Chapter Four of the 1999 Constitution outlines the Fundamental Rights of all Nigerians, including the right to be free from discrimination while Section 41(1) gives every citizen the right to “move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof.” Section 43 guarantees every citizen “the right to acquire and own immovable property anywhere in Nigeria.” These are citizenship rights. There are no constitutional provisions that make these rights dependent on indigene status. While the constitution is right not to make these rights dependent on indigene status, what it however fails to take into consideration is that the parameters of nationhood remains contested across the country and that people everywhere are protective of their culture and ways of life and would often feel – rightly or wrongly – that ‘settlers’ are harbingers of destructive values. This is why people defend aggressively their citizenship rights when they are living outside their ‘homeland’ but will be uncomfortable when other people come to their own ‘homeland’ to exercise their citizenship rights. To therefore use the law to decree that those regarded as strangers have become equal with the indigenes is not far from the institution of the Warrant Chief system in an otherwise Republican Igbo societies during the colonial days. Needless to say the system failed. The point is that the conversation on indigene/settler dichotomy remains ongoing in the country and has not been satisfactorily concluded.

Editorial Commentary

Why Dr. Ngige can’t treat that headache

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

Labour and Productivity Minister, Chris Ngige, thinks it’s a virtue to speak first, and then, think later. He’s been that way since he came on the public scene nearly two decades ago. Those who know him well have learnt not to take him seriously. But he takes himself very seriously. We saw that again from his comment on Channels TV last week on whether or not we should be concerned about the migration rate of the medical workforce, especially doctors. Ngige said, “I am not worried (about doctors leaving the country). We have surplus. If you have surplus, you export. It happened some years ago here. I was taught chemistry and biology by Indian teachers in my secondary school days. There was surplus in their country and we have surplus in the medical profession in our country. I can tell you this. In my area, we have excess.” If he was talking about politics, I might agree; because that is one area where there’s a surplus, and also a place where Ngige has established a reputation as a clown. But it would come as a shock to even medical interns, that the minister would be speaking about trends in medical practice like an oracle, and even claiming as his own a profession that has forsaken him. Ngige trained as a medical doctor alright. But since he became a politician of the most comical variety two decades ago, he has fought tooth and nail to remind us that he is still a medical doctor. He may not have left medicine, but he needs to wake up: medicine has since left him. If his heart still beats even faintly for the profession, Ngige would at least get the basics right: there is clearly not a surplus but an acute shortage of supply in the medical workforce, including doctors. Whereas conservative estimates say that Nigeria needs 237,000 doctors to move the needle, the Health Minister, Professor Isaac Adewole, said last May that we have 88,692 registered doctors out of which only 45,000 are currently practicing. That is a doctor-population ratio of 1:4000. That is not a surplus. Except, of course, if the surpluses are the likes of Ngige who have been exported to politics. The 37 medical and nine dental schools currently turn out fewer than 3,000 doctors; that means that at current levels, not to mention the dreadful curricula, it will take another three decades to produce enough doctors to meet domestic needs, never mind any surplus for “export.” How can Ngige not get that? He spoke with such casualness and carelessness that the TV interviewer could hardly believe her ears. She sliced the question in different ways but got the same incredulous answer. There are serious problems in the health sector and we need to get beyond the malicious carelessness of a fair-weather doctor to understand the problems, find solutions and begin to touch and to save more lives. Medical brain drain has been a major problem for at least two decades. Apart from Ngige’s fantasy world where things are obviously looking up, the situation has become particularly acute in the real world in the last ten years or so. Things got so bad that in 2001, the African Union asked member countries to allocate 15 per cent of their budgets to health, while donor countries were urged to meet their pledge of 0.7 per cent of their GNP as official development assistance. But Africa, being Africa, nothing happened. Even though the continent carries 24 per cent of the world’s burden of diseases, most of them preventable and curable, it has less than one per cent of the resources required to tackle the problem. In countries like South Africa, Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania which commit between five and nine per cent of their annual budgets to health, medical brain drain remains a major problem, especially in the rural areas. In Ngige’s Nigeria, which commits 3.9 per cent of its annual budget to health, the State House Clinic where he once worked, can hardly dispense

Panadol for a mild headache. Ngige was not the only one whose teachers were foreigners. My Maths, Geography and French teachers were Ghanaians. But Ghana did not export them from a surplus. Just like in India, which he mentioned, the professionals “exported” themselves out of desperation. That has since changed not only in Ghana and India, but also in other serious countries where leaders come to power with a plan and a heart, and not as stooges enlisted in politics through their village shrine by some godfather. Ngige is not totally wrong about the “export value” of professionals, especially medical doctors. According to a report by Time magazine in December, Cuba – the best example – earns about $11billion yearly by exporting its healthcare professionals to about 67 countries. But this did not come about from ministerial grandstanding. It was as a result of a half-a-century-old policy to train and use doctors as a diplomatic tool to overcome the country’s isolation. It’s not unlikely that Ngige is fantasizing about the estimated $25billion that diaspora Nigerians are remitting yearly. He might do well to remember that according to an article in African Renewal, a 2011 research by a group of Canadian scientists led by Edward Mills, found that nine sub-Saharan African countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe), lost $2.1billion invested in doctors working in destination countries up till 2010. In other words, the picture is not as rosy as it looks. Let’s be clear. I disagree with Ngige for three main reasons: 1) his stats about surplus is wrong, 2) to present the problem as essentially a matter of monetisation is incorrect, and 3) his denial of the existence of medical brain drain is scandalous. Doubling – even quadrupling – the number of doctors being trained today is desirable, but focusing on numbers alone is unlikely to significantly stanch the drain for a number of underlying reasons. Ireland, a middle-income country, has been struggling with medical brain drain and is trying to halve its dependence on internationally trained medical workforce by 2030. It has doubled the number of doctors trained annually from 340 in 2007 to 725 in 2016, but it is still heavily reliant on foreign-trained doctors. According to a study of 50 early career doctors published in February, between 2008 and 2014, 3,798 doctors migrated from Ireland to Australia, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. The main reason for the drain is the over-stretched, understaff and under-funded medical health system. It’s vitally important to address numbers, but we have to look beyond them to tackle the problem. Even within countries, the disparity in access and ratios between urban and rural areas is wide; very wide. In Nigeria, Professor Olikoye RansomeKuti was the last health minister who paid any serious attention to medical care, especially preventive health, perhaps the single biggest health problem in rural areas. Vested interests in the medical profession who had their own ideas fought the minister, but he made his mark. In a globalised world, younger doctors have the world to play. They can find more and better opportunities around the world and they think of themselves as global citizens. They scorn the traditional view that prioritises vocation over family and commitment. They don’t see the point about “being married to medicine,” the love song of the older generation. If the environment does not value them; does not allow them to work and play – in short, to express themselves – they simply vote with their feet! It’s hard for Ngige to understand that the world has left him behind because he’s too distracted by politics, including a needless fight with one of the icons of Labour Frank Ovie-Kokori, to face his job. It was clear from his body language that he was not prepared for the question. He should just have taken a pass, but the clown in him won’t let him.

Our POSITION

Beyond passage of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill Last week Tuesday, the Senate passed the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill which the House of Representatives had passed almost a year ago. The bill if transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari and receives his assent before the 8th National Assembly winds up in the first week of June this year, will definitely upgrade the funding of Nigeria Police. As it is now, only the Federal Government is legally responsible for the funding of the Nigeria Police, even though we all know that States Government, some corporate entities and individuals are bearings some of its day to day running expenses if not the larger part of it. The Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill is meant to address the inadequacy in funding of police particularly the training of its personnel and acquisition of modern equipment that would enable optimal and effective policing of the country. One of the major objectives of the bill is to improve funding for the Nigeria Police Force. This point was further stressed by President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who presided over the Senate that belatedly passed the bill. He was very clear in his remark that by the passage of the bill the National Assembly had fulfilled its promise to pass it before expiration of the 8th Assembly. “By passing this bill, we will be creating big strides towards providing and improving security and policing in our country. We agree with him that “one of the major concerns about our police has always been the issue of funding”. We believe that this bill will provide leeway for the funding needed for training, recruitment and equipment. It will also act as a relief to the Federal Government who had borne the burden all these years. Technically, the bill is aimed at providing a legal framework for the management and control of the special intervention funds established under the Act for the training of personnel of the NPF. The trust fund should also be utilised to enhance the skills of the personnel

of the Police in order to ensure their effectiveness in the overall performance. Needles to state that constant improvement in the performance of their duties is what the country is craving for. We also expect that the trust fund would be used to ensure that the NPF has the necessary operational equipment, instructional materials, build and maintain police stations and living quarters. We therefore appeal to the President to consider assenting the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill as soon as it is transmitted to him to avoid it been elapsed in June this year. Though, we are not expecting that the bill may contain contentious provisions, we plead that in case there is any, it should be resolved hastily. The management of the police force should be thinking how to make best use of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill and safeguard it to ensure that it is not bedeviled by graft and all forms of vices.

We’ll guarantee press freedom at all times, Buhari assures Tasks journalists on adherence to ethics

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the Nigerian media that his administration would guarantee press freedom at all times and is committed to the highest levels of transparency. The President asserted that his government only requires that the media practitioners utilize the freedom responsibly and for lofty ideals of national unity and development. Buhari, in a message on Thursday by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, to herald the World Press Freedom Day, commended the Nigerian media for their doggedness, affirming that government would continue to ensure that the media was not muzzled in any way, since democracy and freedom of expression were kindred spirits. He saluted journalists throughout the country as they join their colleagues around the globe to mark the 2019 World

Press Freedom Day. World Press Freedom Day, is observed every May 3 to celebrate fundamental principles of press freedom, evaluate press freedom round the world, defend media from attacks on their independence and pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession. The President urged Nigerian journalists to use the day to appraise and recommit themselves to the ethics that guide their noble profession, adding that “without adherence to ethics, professions turn awry and become part of national malaise, rather than solutions. That is why journalists must constantly recommit to the canons of fairness, accuracy, objectivity, balance, and other ideals that guide their profession. “On this occasion of World Press Freedom Day, I urge you to rededicate yourselves to the role of being watchdogs of society while being mindful of the cohesion and equilibrium of that same society. There are always those who want to use the media to emphasize our

fault lines as a people, dwell on primordial sentiments and keep the country perpetually on the same spot. Be wary of such.” Buhari, who noted that the theme of this year’s celebration: “Media for democracy: Journalism and elections in times of disinformation,” said it’s quite germane for Nigeria, having recently concluded our general elections and urged the media to reflect on the deleterious effects of fake news, misinformation and disinformation before, during and after the polls. Meanwhile, the Abuja Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, enjoined journalists to adhere to the ethics of the profession and engage in fact -checking before publishing any story. Chairman of the Council, Emmanuel Ogbeche, expressed optimism that within a decade the Nigeria media will attend absolute press freedom, declaring that the Nigerian media has a social contract with the Nigerian people and must do all within their power to uphold the truth at all times.

New minimum wage will make me work harder, says Fayemi Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi, has stated that the newly approved minimum wage of N30, 000 will make him and his government work harder. Fayemi explained that apart from fulfilling promises to the people that the task of delivering on his promises has become more convoluted and tasking by the N30, 000 minimum wage, which he said his government was ready to pay to workers. The governor stated that Ekiti people must start seeing evidence of governance now that a full complement of commissioners and special advisers have been appointed to drive his four-cardinal agenda. He therefore, advised members of his cabinet to work tirelessly for his administration to deliver good performance

to the people The governor spoke at the Royal Park Hotel, Iloko Ijesa, Osun state on Thursday, while declaring open a three- days- retreat organized by the state government political appointees and technocrats in the state civil service. At the retreat attended by over 100 senior public servants, Fayemi also declared that his succession plan will be determined largely by the level of dividends of democracy offered the populace. He said public servants, especially those in charge of revenue must brace up for the task of generating more funds for the state to be able to meet the new wage demand. “We have to be focused on how to deliver on our promises to the people, that is why you will sign to a performance agreement at the end of every quarter and if you think what we set for you is too high, then you

bow out. “We have to take reclaiming Ekiti values from the level of promise to reality. I know you need resources and there must be plans on how these will be provided and measured to the extent to which you have delivered. “The task ahead is tedious, but not insurmountable. Most of the states used to fail because they don’t have plans and have nothing to deliver. There must be something measurable to be put in place and that can be evaluated periodically as a government. “There are more obligations to attend to apart from the N30, 000 minimum wage. If we do well, it will give us the leverage to put up a government that will sustain the programme of our administration after our tenure because no single government can do it alone. So, performance is key to our government,” he said.

Commercial tricycle operators in Rivers state under the aegis of Tricycles Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) are now poised to assist the state government in the fight against insecurity. State Chairman of the association, Comrade Chukwuma Otugbali, who made the disclosure in a chat with the Daily Times in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said every member of the union would henceforth, be identified with a code number that would make it easy to track criminal elements within their fold. “Now that we’re fully unionized, we would be able to help the government to fight insecurity in the state by enlightening our members to assist security agencies with credible information. With code numbers for each of our member, it would be easy to fish out bad elements in our midst. “It is a wrong notion that tricycle operators are used for criminal operations. It’s not tricycles operators, but commercial motor-cyclists that are used for criminal activities. But, people seem to equate tricycle operators with commercial motor-cyclists,” he stated. Otugbali advised members of the union to be diligent in their operations in order to erase this bad image that has been painted about them, even as he assured members of the public that his members are now ready to serve them purposefully.

S’Court to decide Zamfara APC appeals before vacation Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Supreme Court on Thursday said that it will resolve appeals emanating from the pre-election case of the Zamfara State All Progressives Congress (APC), primaries preceding last general election before the court proceeds on its annual vacation. The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammad, who presided over the appeal filed by the governor-elect of Zamfara state Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu Idris and others against the decision of the Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division, said the court will do all within its powers to decide the case one way or the other. The Sokoto Division of the Appeal Court had nullified the primaries that produced candidates for the last general elections in the state at all levels. The court said due process was not followed in the conduct of the primaries. But not satisfied with the decision of the court, the governor-elect approached the apex court to challenge that decision. During the proceedings before the

court yesterday, counsel to Senator Kabiru Marafa, who led other respondents in the appeal, Chief Mike Ozekhome’s, SAN, sought to move a preliminary objection, dated 30th April, 2019. He told the court that in the face of the law, there is no appeal before the court. He was about arguing his objection when Chief Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, objected and told the court to order that the objection and the brief of arguments of parties in the matter should be taken together. He cited order 6 rule 5 of the civil procedure rules of the court. He reminded the court that the practice that had been adopted in so many cases before the court has been to take the objection and the brief of arguments together in order to have one judgment. He said if Ozekhome’s objection succeeds, the case will terminate at the preliminary objection stage but if it fails, the court will look into the merit of the case. After parties made their submission, the court agreed that the case should be

fixed for May 16th, 2019. The Court of Appeal Sokoto Division had on March 25, 2019 set aside the judgment delivered by the Zamfara High Court, allowing the All Progressives Congress (APC) to field candidates in the 2019 Election. Delivering the lead judgment, which was adopted by two other Justices Tijjani Abubakar and Jamilu Tukur, Justice Tom Yakubu, held that the lower court failed in its duty to properly evaluate the evidence before it. Yakubu said judges have the legal power to produce judgment and reach decisions with reason, noting that in the instance case it was not done. “I am convinced that the lower Court has failed to evaluate the evidence before reaching the decision. ” The Appeal Court have power in law to access pieces of evidence on appeal, which we have done. ”Based on available facts the respondents did not contradict the INEC evidence on conducting the said primary election” Yakubu said.

Disputed land: Aggrieved Agidingbi residents Short News storm Lagos Assembly over quit notice Workers’ Day: Obaseki commences moves to accelerate Benjamin Omoike, Lagos Aggrieved residents of Agidingbi in Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos state in their hundreds marched to the Lagos state House of Assembly on Thursday to protest against the recent judgment of the Supreme Court which granted judgment in favour of the AkinoleOshiun family to take possession of 398 acres of land in the area. Reports have it that over 2, 000 properties in Agidingbi, Acme Road and part of Magodo are affected by the judgment and the Akinole family has placed takeover notices on all affected properties, issuing a seven-day notice to residents to vacate their homes or offices as the case may be. In a swift reaction, however, hundreds of Agidingbi residents armed with placards marched from the affected areas to the state House of Assembly to express their grievances and to deliver protest letters to the lawmakers and the state government. The protesters were chanting solidarity songs, saying “Akinole, ole, Akinole ole.” They carried several placards, some of which read: “There is no ancestral connection between Akinole and

Agindingbi, LASG, stop illegal land grabbers. Akinole Oshiun is a land grabber. Land grabbers are enemies of Lagos state, enough is enough for land grabbers.” In a letter delivered to the Lawmakers, the Baale of Agindingbi, Ganiu Ayinde Aruna, intimated the state government and the Assembly of the looming danger, threats and action being orchestrated by a family called the Akinole-Oshiun towards causing mayhem, as well as disturbing the peace of the community. “This threat is aided by some compromised security agents, who accompanied them to threaten the lives and properties of inhabitants of the state on the 26th of April, 2019. “Although, it is no longer a hidden fact that the Aleshinloye Family owns Agindingbi land, under acquisition of the state government, yet it is strange to see that the Akinole-Oshiun Family lays spurious claims of the whole land in the community, with threat to destroy the properties of the inhabitants in the community as well as to bulldoze and destroy buildings in the community within seven days,” he said. According to him, the threat was said to be founded on claims of the judgment obtained, which is to be enforced on the properties within the community, adding that as law-abiding citizens, the community would not want to take

laws into their hands. He called on the state government and the Lawmakers to intervene in the matter in order to avoid crisis. Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Wasiu Bolaji Seidu, a Council Legislative member, said Agidingbi had been in existence for over 200 years and that it was not possible for somebody to just wake up to take over the land based on a court judgment that never got them involved. He said Alhaji Okunnu, the late Abibat Mogaji, were part of Agidingbi as well as their great-grandfathers, asking the state government and Assembly to intervene in the matter to avoid bloodshed. The Iyalode of Agindingbi, 83-year-old Evangelist Dorcas Modupe, said she was born in the area as well as her great grandparents, saying that the Akinole family could not just come from somewhere to lay claim to ownership of the land. Receiving the protesters, the Deputy Majority leader, Olumuyiwa Jimoh, said the Assembly will look into the matter and get back to the community. He said after looking into their letter, they will be invited by the House to find lasting solutions to the matter and appealed to them to be peaceful and not take laws into their hands.

MBF warns against dragging TY Danjuma into Tiv/Jukun Crisis Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has called on groups and persons to desist forthwith any attempt to drag the name of the revered retired General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma into the Tiv/Jukun crisis. National President of the MBF, Dr Bitrus Pogu, on Thursday, stated that the forum was worried by what “appears to be sponsored publications against the person and character of General TY Danjuma (retd) regarding the recent communal clash between Jukun and Tiv border communities of Taraba and Benue States. He said that the Forum ordinarily would not have bothered to respond to an issue raised by individuals or groups in the media but that the basis of the response was hinged on the fact that the Middle Belt Conscience Guard (MBCG), “a group that is unknown to the Middle Belt Forum, raised an issue of interest relating to a conflict between two communities in the Middle Belt Region. “The group from the onset did not hide

its sentiments or the hatched job they were procured to execute by their sponsors when they relentlessly dragged the name of Gen Danjuma into the Jukun/Tiv crisis.” According to the MBF press statement, “The the group insisted that General Danjuma had maintained what they considered “a loud silence” over the recent Tiv/Jukun killings. The group also called on the former Minister of Defence “to call his Jukun kinsmen to order”. By implication, the group had made up its mind that the crisis is caused by one ethnic group, while exonerating the other. The group which ought to be a patriotically committed to the interest of Middle Belt and all other groups within the Region should be engaged in the search for genuine peace devoid of biases. “In our opinion, the group demonstrated its bias when it demanded on the revered General to break his silence over the crisis involving the two ethnic groups. As a bonafide son of the Middle Belt, General Danjuma plays a fatherly figure to all ethnic groups, including the two warring groups, in the clashes and therefore should never be seen to take sides with any of the groups.

“Also, the so-called Middle Belt Conscience Guard demanded that Gen. Danjuma should call his Jukun kinsmen to order and stop the killings of Tiv farmers. We in the Middle Belt Forum view this as reducing the nationalistic figure of the General to a mere tribal or ethnic champion. “We know quite well just as the sponsors of this mischievous publication know that General Danjuma is one of the most respected patriots and nationalists Nigeria has ever produced and, therefore, can never reduce himself to sponsoring a tribal or ethnic conflict. Any attempt at dragging the name of General Danjuma into the Jukun/Tiv clash can only be in the figment of the so-called Middle Belt Conscience Guard and their sponsors. “We wish to advise these contractors of blackmail and falsehood going by the name of Middle Belt Conscience Guard, that if truly they are Middle Belters and feel the pains of the Middle Belt, they should channel their energies against the barbaric massacres across communities in the Middle Belt by marauding Fulani Herdsmen Militia.

In a brief history of Sinoria FABCOM, the Managing Director explained that the company has been in Nigeria for almost a decade and that it is a recognised brand in the manufacture of stone coated roofing sheets.

Ex-gov Chime’s wife seeks child custody, monthly maintenance fee of N500, 000 Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Clara Chime, the estranged wife of former Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, on Thursday, asked the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Apo, to grant her custody of her 10-year-old son.

He said the Company has become a pride of Africa in its trailblazing efforts in manufacturing businesses like Cement and Sugar which had hitherto caused the country huge foreign exchange to import for which the nation is now self-sufficient and even now exporting. Jayeola also alluded to 650,000 bpd refinery currently under the construction which will also save Nigeria foreign exchange which is presently being spent on importation of petroleum products. The Institute particularly praised the ingenuity of the management-led by Mr Olakunle Alake, saying “It shows from all indication that he has skills laced with a strategy with which he has been steering the company to profitability. “Dangote Group is a pride of Africa, its contribution to job creation is unquantifiable Nigeria has achieved selfsufficiency in Cement and sugar through

the efforts of the company, Nigerians can’t thank you enough”, the ICAN boss stated. He also explained some of the challenges being faced by the Institute and efforts being made by his leadership to turn things around. He disclosed that the institute has commenced stakeholders fora to address its challenges. Jayeola explained that his leadership is looking towards the application of information technology for accounting purposes and that an Accounting Technology Conference has been scheduled as a startup towards the use of technology in Accounting. In his response, the Group Managing Director of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Mr Olakunle Alake who was also with some management members as well as some staff who are ICAN members, showered accolades on the

ICAN leadership for its foresight and the orderly manner it organizes Institute. He explained that DIL is a quality organization that is always in search of quality which was why it company has a large number of ICAN members as staff. Said he: In Dangote, we are always trying to grow the economy and we believe that for the economy to grow, you must create jobs. A key element to be a producing nation, we must create a cycle of wealth. That is why we invest and reinvest. “In Dangote, we don’t keep our dividends we use it for more investments, any nation that must grow must create jobs, that is why we touch people’s lives positively, we create wealth through job creation.” Alake challenged the government to look into wealth creation for Nigerians through massive job creation.

SEC restates commitment to discourage illicit funds in capital market Temitope Adebayo The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has restated its commitment to ensuring that the Capital Market domain is not used in any way to inject illegal funds into the sector and the financial system as a whole. This was stated by Acting Director General of the SEC, Ms Mary Uduk in her opening remarks at the Anti Money Laundering (goAML) Training for Compliance officers of capital market operators held in Lagos, Thursday. Uduk who was represented by Malam Adamu Sambo, a Deputy Director and Head of Department, Monitoring, at the SECc said being the apex regulator

of the Nigerian Capital Market, with a vision “to develop and regulate” a world class Capital Market that is free from any criminal activity, the Commission is not relenting in its drive to fight the menace of money laundering and terrorist financing. According to Uduk, “financial Institutions shoulder a great responsibility in ensuring compliance with all Rules and Regulations governing financial system. It is our collective responsibility as stakeholders to collaborate and work together as a community in building more capacity in the system for effective compliance program. “The Principles for market Intermediaries are to have an efficiently functioning system that delivers compliance with standards for internal

She said the goAML training which is being done in collaboration with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), is going to be a hands-on, a practical approach aimed at addressing challenges by CMOs in a rendition of statutory returns and taking compliance to the next level in the Capital Market. Uduk further emphasized the SEC’s willingness to engage relevant stakeholders in building capacity on developments and

mix comprising of the big international players and strong Nigerian downstream companies for supply flexibility and local capacity development”, Baru said. According to him, the scheme has over the years ensured significant reduction in product demurrage cost in the range

L-R: I.T Project Manager, INTERPOL, Christopher Hakobyan; Senior Project Manager, Global Outreach and Region Support of INTERPOL, Noha Amer; Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside; and Eleyatt Nehah of INTERPOL during a partnership meeting held at the Headquarters of NIMASA in Lagos on Thursday.

PEBEC: FG emphasises need for partnerships, collaborations towards economic growth Motolani Oseni As Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) completed the fourth National Action Plan (NAP 4.0), Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment/Vice-Chair of PEBEC, Dr Okechukwu Enelamah, has emphasised the continued need for partnerships and collaborations towards economic growth, transformation and an overall improved business climate. The completion of NAP 4.0 marked the end of another 60-day accelerated reform cycle targeted at implementing reforms and promoting accountability. In his remark, Dr Enelamah stated, “there is a need for government to forge synergy with the private sector towards exploring opportunities of raising capital through the market for infrastructure projects and boost industrialisation.” Also speaking on the completion of the 60-day NAP 4.0 reform cycle, the PEBEC Secretary and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Industry, Trade & Investment, Dr Jumoke

Oduwole congratulated the MDAs on the successful completion of the NAP 4.0 and urged them to complete the implementation of outstanding reforms. She also thanked private sector and other arms of government for the strong collaboration that has been enjoyed on Nigeria’s ease of doing business initiative, even as we all collectively strive to expand and deepen reforms for continuous improvement of our economy. During the NAO 4.0 cycle, specific Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) implemented reforms during this period that will improve efficiency, cost savings as well as transparency of processes and systems. These reforms are also a direct response to some of the challenges which SMEs encounter, particularly in the areas of starting a business, enforcing contracts, paying taxes, registering property and dealing with construction permits. On the implemented reforms during this period, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) enforced compliance of its Service Level

Agreement (SLA) on post incorporation filings. This means that post-registration applications are now treated within the timelines specified in the SLA at CAC offices. The Kano State Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Co-operatives and Tourism (KSMCICT) also enforced the use of the newly introduced electronic process for registration of business premises in Kano State. This will largely improve the efficiency in the process for registration of business premises in the State. Lagos and Kano States Judiciaries have published performance reports and judgements of the Small Claims Courts on their respective websites, as reforms to ease the enforcement of contracts. These courts were set up in April 2018 and January 2019 respectively, to handle liquidated money demands with a threshold of N5 Million and below. The availability of performance reports and copies of judgments will improve transparency and engender confidence & trust in the judicial system for both States.

The ease of paying taxes was also improved, as the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) worked extensively on driving the implementation and adoption of electronic payment and filing of taxes in Lagos State. This reform is expected to provide access to e-platforms for use by all classes of tax payers. The National Action Plan 4.0 concluded with an overall completion rate of 64 per cent. The Ag. Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ms Mary Uduk, also in attendance, said that the SEC has been at the forefront of supporting capital market operations, through its development of e-dividends to boost investors’ confidence in the market. PEBEC was established in 2016 to oversee Nigeria’s business climate reform agenda, and is chaired by His Excellency the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, with the primary mandate to remove critical bottlenecks and bureaucratic constraints as well as to drive reforms for economic impact.

Amaechi charges new NRC board over development of rail sector Temitope Adebayo The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has admonished the newly inaugurated Board members of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), not to differ from the policies of the previous Board led by Engr. Usman Sandamu, in order to accelerate development rail sector. While inaugurating the new Board in Abuja on Thursday, the Minister said the former Board led by Sandamu did well in projects evaluation and inspections that contributed to the development of the sector.

“The former Chairman maybe because of his engineering background used to analyse all our policies and will tell me that if I were you, I will do this, and 80 per cent of the time, he was right,” he stated. Amaechi charged the members to continue from where the former Board stopped in order to avoid conflicts that would stall the development of the rail system in Nigeria. “Let us continue from where the last chairman stopped. I hope we will work together. I will not let anybody slow us down or whoever becomes the minister,” Amaechi said.

He again charged the members particularly the Chairman that, “in the performance of your functions as Chairman and Board Members, it is expedient for you to note the need to engender harmonious working relationship with the management of the corporation so as to achieve the objectives of the government. “As Governing Board Members, you are responsible for setting out the parastatal’s economic, financial, operational administrative policies in accordance with government policy directives aimed at assisting the corporation to achieve its mandate.

In his response, the Board Chairman of NRC, Engr. Ibrahim Alhassan Musa commended the minister for the achievement so far attended in the rail sector. He assured that the new Board would bring in their experience to bear on the much-needed railway infrastructure as a means of improving the Nigerian economy. The Board has twenty-six members, twenty-two of the members are nominated at the state level while the office of the Minister of Transport is mandated to appoint four members. The twenty-two members were inaugurated while four vacancies await the appointment of the Minister.

Motivated by the drive to expand the Nigerian, African Information and Communications Technology(ICT) market, create jobs and improve the living standards of Africans, a 41-yearold Nigerian and Information and Communications Technology expert, Emmanuel Gabriel, has developed an Artificial Intelligence(AI) platform, ‘OBT Translate’, that will translate over 2000 languages. Gabriel said the launch of ‘OBT Translate’ was expected to break communication barriers in Africa and create opportunities for people, adding that farmers will be able to trade their goods and services without language communication barriers. The Nigerian-born scientist, who is based in Germany, says not less than 854 million people are living in sub-Saharan Africa in rural areas without access to global markets. He lamented the spate of language extinction in Africa, stating that 52 native languages in Africa had died as they no longer have native speakers. His words: “There are over 52 native languages in Africa, which have undergone language death, they have no native speakers and no spoken descendants. Our machine language AI algorithms with neural network connection have curated billions of tasks waiting for Africans who can teach our machine their local dialect. “The first phase of the project comes with nine billion tasks, and the second phase comes with 12 billion tasks. It is projected to hire about 100 million Africans with a projection of 3.6 billion USD passive incomes for Africans with the capacity.” Gabriel explained that most people who migrate to Europe and the Americas for greener pastures do so for security purposes and the need to escape poverty. He, however, urged African countries to ensure job creation and the implementation of the structural adjustment policies recommended by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. He adds that the invention is capable of creating jobs for 100 million Africans who can teach their machine pidgin English or their native languages.

‘SAATM, unified passport panacea to Africa’s transport problems’ Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo For the transport sector to grow into prosperity in Africa there is a need to tackle air transport infrastructure deficit, travel restrictions among others. The Chairman organising committee Airport

Business Summit Expo (ABSE), Mr Fortune Idu who disclosed this at the 2019 ABSE in Lagos while delivering his address noted that the proposed Single African Air Transport Market SAATM and a unified African passport remained good regional initiatives to begin solving the problems associated with Africa’s transport. According to Idu, the envisaged increase in

Africa Air Transport has increased in passenger traffic growth rate of 9.9 per cent between 2017 and 2018 as against 6.3 per cent between 2016 and 2017 stressing that it has been projected that by 2035 it will rise to 4.3 per cent annually while more people were expected to travel in and out of Africa significantly. Currently, Mr Idu disclosed that the continent

has 731 airports with 419 airlines with the aviation sector supporting 7 million jobs and generating S80 billion in economic activities. He opined that more needed to be done with the airport economies of the region being steered towards the right direction to catalyse the growth of the industry through accountable and providing incentives to support the airline

growth. He called on for the consolidation of the air transport services in order to build a strong base for the industry since the airport has all options on aeronautic and vast non-aeronautic revenue. Idu urged stakeholders not to relent in attending the the conference stressing that it was the first edition of the summit in Lagos.

ADP 2019 presidential aspirant Tsado becomes National secretary of party Stories Patrick Okohue The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) has approved the appointment of its 2019 presidential aspirant, Mr. Mathias Tsado, an engineer as the new National Secretary of the party. Tsado, who hails hails from Niger State. The party in a statement said, “Tsado’s appointment is meant to achieve balance in the party’s leadership structure.” Adding that, “Since the new Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Najeem Awodele is a Muslim from the South, the National Secretary has to be a Christian from the North. This consideration is in tandem with our Philosophy that equity and fairness are necessary ingredients for Nationbuilding.” Accepting the offer, Tsado said: “I have officially accepted the offer to serve as the National Secretary of Action Democratic Party in a bid to repair the image of the party and reposition the party as the credible alternative. “While all other issues are being resolved to ensure all members find a mutual ground and allow the party to come out stronger, it’s necessary for everyone to know that it is only in the best interest of the country that this offer was accepted.” Tsado used trhe opposrtunity to appeal to all those who left the party either due to political differences during the election or for other reasons, saying that it was time to build a party for the future, “All those

Mathias Tsado who left the party due to the crisis are hereby invited back to the fold as we begin to rebuild not just a political party, but a family of patriotic and visionary Nigerians. “I have received many congratulatory messages, it is to me a call to serve and not just a mere

ceremonial status, hence I shall remain the regular MBT whose dream is to see the emergence of the New Nigeria. We shall unveil our plans as soon as we take off fully; I count on your continuous support as we push for a citizens centred politics and governance,” he said.

Bayelsa dep. governor seeks more positive reports about South-South region, state Bayelsa State deputy governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John-Jonah (rtd), has described as unwarranted and misleading reports about the South-South geo-political zone and Bayelsa State in particular which portrays it in bad light, saying it is a deliberate distortion of facts. Rear Admiral John-Jonah stated this when he played host to the 23rd batch of 20 Student Officers, including 2 directing staff of the Foreign Affairs Academy, Lagos, during a cocktail party in their honour at the Golden Castle Tulip Hotel, Yenagoa. He stressed that, the people of the region which mainly produce the oil that sustains the federation, have overtime become the most misrepresented and called for an urgent change in the narrative to attract greater foreign investment and development to the area. The deputy governor, who described the student officers as Ambassadors of the country, urged them to tell the Bayelsa story beyond the shores of the country. “Anywhere you go, you are Ambassadors and even now you are Ambassadors of the school meaning you have to go and tell our story, the South South story. The South-South, in most cases have been one of the most misrepresented people in this country”. According to him, the Bayelsa dream to take the “state to the world and the world to Bayelsa” can be achieved with the collaboration and support of the Foreign Service department, as the state is young and has much to offer in terms of profitability and productivity. Rear Admiral John-Jonah (rtd) urged the 20 Student Officers

to be objective in their analysis and reports, stressing that, they have the privilege of making life better for Bayelsans by making recommendations to the government. “You have the privilege of making life better for Bayelsans because you have the opportunity to study and advise us and I am sure you will write your reports and a copy will come to us”. “Because you are now part of us, what you write, we feel you will be very objective to advise us and I promise our team will take whatever recommendation that will come from you which would be applicable to us based on the environment that we exist.” In a remark, Director of Training, Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Rachel Ocheni said, the visit to Bayelsa State and other parts of the six geo-political zones, is part of a one-year course for the 20 newly employed staff of the ministry. Mrs. Ocheni, who affirmed Bayelsa as home of hospitality, said having visited many landmark projects and places in the state alongside the student officers, it is obvious that, the state has a lot to offer in terms of cultural deposits. She expressed appreciation to the state government for the support and warm reception accorded the team, while assuring that the Ministry would not cease to showcase the potentials of the state outside the shores of the country. Speaking on behalf of the student officers, Mr. Dauyun Ogidi-Oke thanked Governor Seriake Dickson and his Deputy, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha JohnJonah (rtd) for hosting them and promised that they would carry the message of Bayelsa to the world.

Lagos lawmakers charge politicians to identity with people they represent A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebisi Yusuff has enjoined political officers holders to identify with the people, noting that this would encourage the electorates to come out en masse to participate in electoral processes. Yusuff, who represents Alimisho Constituency I in the State Assembly recently won his third term return ticket to represent the constituency. A feat which he said was unprecedented, but added that he has always tried his best to be the voice of his people since 2007 when he first got to the Assembly to date. While reacting to the advice by the Lagos State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Sam Olumekun that party leaders should intensify efforts in mobilising the electorate and their members to actively participate in elections, Yusuff explained that such would be achieved by identifying with the people

and providing dividends of democracy to the people. It will be recalled that Olumekun had on Friday 5th April, during the presentation of certificates of return to the State lawmakerselect at the Lagos INEC office, Yaba lamented the low turnout of voters during last general election in the state. Yusuff said, “It is a fact and good advice from the Resident Electoral Commissioner. I advise the politicians that we should be alive in our constituencies by gearing up our people and doing activities that will encourage them to come out during elections. “If you have annihilated the people and abandoned those who gave you power, in subsequent elections, they won’t have interest in coming out. I enjoin political office holders and appointed officers that they should identity with the people that matter,” the lawmaker said.

He however expressed delight with his victory at the election, saying “it’s not an easy task, when you consider the cosmopolitan nature of my constituency. In terms of population, we are the largest and most politically structured, Alimosho is no one on the list. As a result, there is competitive struggle to occupy the offices. “Why I love the constituency is that they don’t sacrifice merit for mediocrity. They monitor you and based on your performance, they return you to the positions. This is the first time somebody will be representing Alimisho constituency for three consecutive terms and I thank God for that,” Yusuff added. Hon. Bisi Yusuff also commended former governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Alimosho residents, party stakeholders and his family for standing by him to ensure that he won the third term election.

Rector canvasses support for WAPOGA, as Yabatech hosts COHEADS Esther Taiwo The Rector, Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), Engr. Obafemi Omokungbe, has solicited for support from other Rectors towards the intention of the College to host the next edition of West Africa Polytechnic Games (WAPOGA) this year. In his welcome address during the 141st Regular Meeting of Council of Heads of Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology in Nigeria (COHEADS) hosted by Yabatech, Omokungbe said it was a great honour and privilege for him to host his colleagues from sister institutions across the country, and wished them a pleasant stay in the cradle of higher learning in Nigeria. He stressed that there is need for synergy and cooperation within the institutions towards improving Polytechnic education in Nigeria, and the College immense contributions to technological advancement and human capital development over the years cannot be underestimated. The Chairman of COHEADS, who is also the Rector of Kwara State Polytechnic, Alhaji Mas’ud Elelu disclosed that the essence of the meeting is to critically examine issues militating against technological institutions in Nigeria, while assuring the commitment of COHEADS towards quality education and technological advancement in the country. Elelu noted that disparity between Polytechnic and University graduates should be discontinued, but Polytechnic education should carve a niche for itself, let people know your capability and you will earn respect for that, because Polytechnic graduates are meant for the industrial sector in which the economy of the country depends on. He further explained that university graduates are for public sector, it was because the dwindling economy, and industries were no longer thriving that made Higher National Diploma (HND) graduates to be working in public sector, which were not meant for them originally, thereby causing disparity between them and their University counterpart, as a result of this government should enforce same salary scale for them nationwide as it is being done in the paramilitary, Kano and Kwara states. The first female Secretary General of Commonwealth Association of Technical Universities and Polytechnic in Africa (CAPA), Mrs. Jaoh Faal who came all the way from Kenya in her goodwill message stated that the Association has played a major role in technical education as graduates all over the world have benefitted greatly which resulted to self-productive, while others have metamorphosed to employers of labour. The Chairman Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) Yabatech chapter, Engr. Nureni Yekini appreciated the support of COHEADS in its struggle with state and federal in the following areas: “The release of revitalization fund of N15 Billion promised by the government; Salary shortfall, Promotion arrears, Payment of allowances, Review scheme of service, Payment of salary in the state own institutions, and CONTIS 15 Migration arrears. “Our union also appeal to COHEADS to advice Rectors to abstain from victimization of union leaders; forceful enrolment into IPPIS, withholding of union check-off dues especially in some state institutions.”

SLOT founder charges Yabatech, others to imbibe e- learning Esther Taiwo The Managing Director of Slot System Limited and the founder of Slot Foundation, Engr. Nnamdi Ezeigbo, has charged Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria to imbibe the culture of e-learning for limitless expansion, and to provide accessible education for all. The founding partner of Techno and Infinix made this known recently at the second research and development public lecture of Yabatech titled “Disruptive Innovation and Sustainable Entrepreneurship”. He said that Nigeria’s institutions could Head of Public Relations, Yabatech, Mr. Joe Ejiofor and others receiving the Afrikanwatch Man of the Year award conferred on the exploit e-learning opportunity by increasing the number of their students, which will institution’s rector, Engr. Obafemi Omokungbe, by Afrikanwatch Media recently enable them to showcase what they have. Ezeigbo, an alumnus of the College, disclosed that most traditional institutions in Nigeria are limited because of what they do as a result of space constrain, but due to the flexibility of e-learning, it will make education accessible for everybody at the comfort of their homes, and ability to combine it with their jobs.

Aruna Quadri remains static on ITTF ranking Unlike his continental counterpart Egypt’s Omar Assar who plummeted in the May ITTF ranking, Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri maintains his status as the continent’s best as well as 23rd rated player in the world. Also, as one of the seeded players at the ITTF Challenge Serbia Open, Olajide Omotayo has been set up against Russia’s Petr Fedotov in the first round of the men’s singles at the $30,000 prize money championship. In the ranking list released by the world table tennis ruling body, Quadri gained some points to maintain his ranking as the 23rd rated male player in the world. Egypt’s Assar whose first round exit at the 2019 World Championships denied him the chance of improving his

rating dropped to 53 in the May ranking from 47th which he was in April. Omotayo will be facing a huge task against the Russian who fought his way from the qualifiers to the main draw. The Nigerian has been seeded 22 among the 32 seeded players for the men’s singles. The Lagos State-born star will be hoping to use the tournament to shore up his world rating after dropping to 136 from 129 in the latest rating. The medalists at the recently 2019 World Championships in Budapest, China’s Ma Long and Liang Jingkun, alongside Sweden’s Mattias Falck and Korea Republic’s An Jaehyun, climb the men’s world rankings; however, the name at the very top of the May list released remains the same.

Once again, for the 14th consecutive monthly publication, despite a fourth round exit in Budapest, China’s Fan Zhendong is at the head of the order. The status quo for Fan Zhendong, for his colleagues there is major progress, Ma Long climbs from no.11 to no.5; Liang Jingkun advances from one career high to another. He moves from no.9 to no.6. Similarly, for Mattias Falck, the runner up in Budapest, it is unchartered waters, he progresses from no.16 to no.11; his previous best being earlier this year at no.13 in both January and February. Progress but none can match An Jaehyun, like Liang Jingkun, a bronze medalist in the Hungarian capital city; he advances from no.157 to an unprecedented no.73.

Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala trolled Liverpool after Barcelona drubbing in the Champions League first leg semi-final at Camp Nou on Wednesday night. The 24-year-old Nigeria international moves to Reds Ladies in 2015 before joining English rival Arsenal during her time in England, but former African Players of the Year queuing behind her current team last night. Oshoala reacts after helping Barca reaching first UCL final. Ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, playing against his old

club in a competitive game for the first time since he left for Catalonia in 2014, scored his first Champions League goal in over a year to give Barcelona a half-time advantage. However, Lionel Messi scores twice late and took his Barcelona goals to 600 to hand the Ernesto Valverde the big advantage going to the return leg but Oshoala took to her social media handle laugh at Liverpool. https://twitter. com/AsisatOshoala/ status/1123695106178068480 Nigeria international has helped the Barcelona ladies to

their first UEFA Champions League final, where they face multiple winners Lyon in the final.

Lionel Messi ‘always’ got Ballon d’Or vote from Bayern’s Niko Kovac Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac says he always voted for Lionel Messi to win the Ballon d’Or when he was Croatia head coach. Messi produced another sparkling performance on Wednesday, scoring twice to give Barcelona a 3-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Liverpool at Camp Nou and reach 600 club goals in the process. His form in 2018-19 has made a mockery of his ranking in last year’s race for the Ballon d’Or, when he came in fifth place behind Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Cristiano Ronaldo and winner Luka Modric. But Kovac, who was Croatia coach between 2013 and 2015, insists he has never had any doubt about who is the best player in the world. “There is only one Messi,” he told a news conference on Friday ahead of Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga clash with Hannover. “No matter what I say, it’s too little. You have to shower him with superlatives. “When it came to the Ballon d’Or choice, he always got my vote when I was the coach of the Croatian national

team. “There are many good players, but he is the best. A team is important, but he makes the difference.” Messi has won the Ballon d’Or five times in his career, the same number as Juventus forward Ronaldo. The Argentine was expected to be challenged in 2019 by his eternal rival in Turin and Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. He was, however, put down a notable marker against the Dutchman on his most recent outing. Van Dijk was unable to keep Messi quiet at Camp Nou, with the Netherlands international admitting after witnessing another European masterclass that he is “grateful” not to be part of Spanish football and forced to face the mercurial South American every season.

After ruling, Caster Semenya to run in Doha Diamond League Olympic champion Caster Semenya, who lost her legal challenge against new IAAF gender rules, will race in the 800 metres in Friday’s Doha Diamond League after making a late entry, organisers said Thursday. Semenya, the double Olympic champion, was added to the start list for Friday’s 800 metres on Thursday morning, a day after her appeal against the IAAF’s rule regulating testosterone levels for women athletes was rejected by the Court for Arbitration of Sport. Doha organisers said the South African runner had waited for the outcome of Wednesday’s CAS hearing in Lausanne, Switzerland, before deciding whether to run in the meeting that opens the Diamond

League season. Semenya had challenged measures approved by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), that will force women with higher than normal male hormone levels — so-called “hyperandrogenic” athletes — to artificially lower the amount of testosterone if they are to continue competing. The rules will come into effect on May 8 and will apply to races over distances of 400m to the mile. The two other athletes who made the 800m podium at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Burundian Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui of Kenya, also considered hyperandrogenic, will also start in Doha Friday.
