My 2nd term administration requires a formidable team – Buhari Promises not to disappoint Nigerians

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his second term administration would require a formidable team to deliver his Next Level mandate to Nigerians even as the nation awaits the naming of his cabinet members.

‘My 2nd term administration requires a formidable team’

Continued from page 1

was the then Guardian newspaper diplomatic correspondent when he was arrested by the defunct secret police, the National Security Organisation (NSO) alongside a former member of the House of Representatives, Nduka Irabor, who was then an assistant editor at the Guardian; sentenced to a year in prison, for writing about the closure and retirement of some diplomatic staff.

The President told the group that as a team, they have fought a good fight and won the race in the just concluded elections.

He said: “Our government continues to grow in strength and will place a firm foundation for future generations.

“While there will be those who are determined to drag us back to the bad old days, your visit is timely. It is a exactly a month ago that I was sworn in for a second term in office. The task ahead for the four years will require a formidable team.”

The President described the BMO as a key communication platform in the information management asset to his administration.

He said: “Your efforts have been commendable. I cannot thank you enough for your sacrifices during the first part of our journey.

“We have just come off rigorous campaigns during which I visited all the 36 states of the federation campaigning, seeking the votes of Nigerians and telling them what we have done in the last four years.

“I campaigned on three simple premises not different from those of 2015; to tackle

insecurity, promote economic diversification and to fight corruption. Fulfilling these three promises are fundamental to taking Nigeria to the next level.

“I assure you that I am resolute on fulfilling these promises and will leave Nigeria a far better place than when we came.

“It is not an easy job to sell the administration’s services, we are doing unpopular things and facing powerful individuals and taking on invested interest who are accustomed to the corrupt era. But we must do things the right way; if we promised change then we must deliver it. This is regardless of whose interest is touched. There must be a manifest departure from the old order.

“We are making significant progress and these are evident for all to see. Despite attempts by enemies to twist and bend facts, most Nigerians know the truth.

“I acknowledged your steadfastness in telling the story of this administration’s successes.

We will continue to intensify our efforts and ensure that our promises to Nigerians are kept and fulfilled.

“One message that is dear to me which I urged you to propagate is that I am determined to end security challenges we are facing in the country and make Nigeria a peaceful and a prosperous country.

“I employ you to continue the good work you have done with such commitment and the determination, ultimately your patriotism and love for this country can never be quantified or repaid”.

Earlier in his remarks, Akinsiju, who led the team, said: “The Organisation regularly commissions the writing and publishing of newspaper opinion articles and press statements to elucidate and amplify government programmes and clarify on socio-economic and political issues being undertaken by the administration.

“Members have also appeared regularly on television and radio to promote and defend the administration while maintaining an active presence on the social media on daily basis, engaging on issues affecting the President and his administration.”

The BMO boss said that the Buhari administration has achieved more since the return to democracy in the country with abundance of facts to prove.

He said: “Despite twisted narrative about clashes between farmers and pastoralists, your administration has shown the most commitment towards ending these decades-long conflicts; it has produced several strategies and plans aimed at providing a sustainable resolution.

“We are conscious of the need to push your achievements beyond elitists’ boundary to the millions of silent and media underserved Nigerians at the base of the pyramid. We are resolute that this must be done.

We, therefore, respectfully, seek the strengthening of our organisation, by a strategic reinforcement of our capacity - through the leadership of Messrs Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu and Laolu Akande.”

CBN directs MfBs to double efforts over 80% financial inclusion target Motolani Oseni, Lagos The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed Microfinance Banks to double efforts towards the realisation of the targeted 80 per cent financial inclusion rate by 2020.

The apex bank in a circular on Tuesday acknowledged the sub-sector’s contribution to financial inclusion in the country, stressing that financial inclusion has increased significantly since the National Financial Inclusion strategy (NFIS) was launched in October 2012.

A circular signed by Director, other financial institution Supervision Department, CBN, Mrs. Tokunbo Martins, said the 63 million adult Nigerians are financially served, leaving a gap of 36.6 million.

She said: “NFIS launched in October 2012 and revised in 2018 with the major objective of increasing the percentage of adult Nigerians who own bank accounts and use formal financial services from the

baseline figure of 46.3per cent in 2010 to 80per cent by 2020.

“Over the last six years of implementation of the strategy, microfinance banks have contributed significantly towards the realization of the stated objective.

“As at the end of 2018, 63.2per cent or 63 million adult Nigerians were financially served to leave an inclusion gap of 36.8per cent or 36.6 million adult Nigerians that need to be included.

“Given the short time to the end of the target date, it has become expedient for all stakeholders to double efforts towards the realisation of the targeted 80 per cent inclusion rate.”

She maintained that “In a bid to mobilise stakeholders on the Revised NFIS 2.0 and accelerate progress towards the achievement of the target, the CBN held a stakeholders’ forum for all financial service providers in the six geopolitical zones in the first and second quarters of 2019 which was attended by

representatives of MFBs. “The objective of the Forum was to expose stakeholders to the detailed provisions of the Revised Strategy (NFIS 2.0) and their expected roles/ responsibilities in the financial inclusion agenda.

“One of the major resolutions reached the event was the setting of a target for each branch of a microfinance bank to acquire 64 new customers per month.

“This translates to 774 new bank accounts (measured by new BVN registration) per branch per year. Given the urgency of this task, it is important to cascade the target to your branches for their information and implementation.

“Consequently, all MFBs are hereby requested to implement the above resolution and disseminate same to all their branches (where applicable) to ensure concerted efforts towards achieving the overarching target of 80per cent financial inclusion by the year 2020.”

Anxiety in Osun as Supreme Court delivers judgement July 5 Olaniyi Ajibola, Osogbo

Political gladiators in Osun State are in frenzy as the Supreme Court delivers judgement on the gubernatorial election of September 23, 2018, following an appeal filed by the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Friday.

Recall that the election petition tribunal had on March 23 ruled in favour of Adeleke, declaring him as the winner of the contest, compelling the ruling APC and Governor Adegboyega Oyetola to challenge the verdict at the Appeal Court.

The Appeal Court, however, set aside the judgement of the tribunal on May 9, and declared the incumbent governor and candidate of the APC in the election, as winner.

Since that judgement, the political atmosphere in the state has become intrinsically charged after the apex court announced July 5 as the date to deliver judgment on the appeal filed by PDP and its candidate, Sen. Adeleke, challenging the appeal court ruling.

It is against this backdrop that the ruling APC in the state organised a prayer programme at its state secretariat in Osogbo, the state capital, towards a successful outcome at the

Supreme Court.

The spiritual exercise had in attendance all the local government chairmen, councillors, members of the state executive, local and wards chairmen as well as religious leaders and other stalwarts of the party.

State Chairman of the APC, Prince Adegboyega Famodun, in his remarks, called on members to be fervent and consistent in prayer, as he urged them to continue to support the incumbent governor.

He said: “We believe in the power of prayer and our prayers will definitely be answered since the Almighty God is not unjust and cannot be. Therefore, we are very optimistic that the judgment will favour us, as the entire people of Osun have spoken through their votes. Ours is victory and victory is guaranteed.”

Also, the candidate of PDP, Sen. Ademola, has called on members of the party to be fervent in prayer and continue to seek God’s favour towards a positive outcome on July 5, adding that there are indicators from all fronts that the apex court’s ruling would be in his favour.

This was contained in a statement signed by his media aide, Olumide Lawal, and made available to newsmen in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has directed workers to withdraw their services, shut ports operations and begin a nationwide from today over unpaid wages to Dockworkers, among other issues.

Addressing officials and a crosssection of dockworkers at the Dockworkers’ Branch of MWUN, Lagos, they threatened that the industrial action would not be suspended until all outstanding payments for over a year were fully paid among other issues resolved.

Recall that MWUN had on June 11, issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to compel the International Oil Companies, IOCs, to pay over a year outstanding wages to Dockworkers, among other issues or face nationwide industrial unrest.

In fact, the leaders of the union had since last week set up a strike coordinating committee and directed its officials in all ports formations nationwide to begin a massive mobilisation of members ahead of the planned strike.

Explaining why the union had resorted to industrial action, PresidentGeneral of the union, Adewale Adeyanju, contended that nonpayment of Government appointed stevedores/Dockworkers by the IOCs contravened Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Act 2007.

He lamented that several efforts made for the IOCs to see reason including the stakeholders meeting organised by the Nigerian Port Authority(NPA) fell on deaf ear, lamenting that while some of the affected Dockworkers had passed on prematurely due to economic hardship, those alive had been made to become destitute.

“As a responsible union, we cannot continue to fold our arm and watch our members die a premature death because of the nonchalant attitude of the IOCs management toward the welfare of our members. In view of the foregoing we gave a 14 day ultimatum/ notice to the Federal Government, through the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation to prevail on the IOCs to do the needful by paying our members.

“Ahead of the expiration of 14 days Ultimatum/ Notice, which elapsed on Friday, 28th June 2019, we issued a reminder letter dated 27th June 2019, informing the government that if at the close of work on Tuesday 2nd July 2019, (today) no evidence of payment is seen, our members shall withdraw service in all the Nation Seaports until all issues in the contention is resolved. As we speak, there is no sign of payment, therefore, by 6.am tomorrow (today), our members in all port formations nationwide are to withdraw their services and begin a nationwide strike.”

It would be recalled that MWUN in a letter to the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Transportation, dated June 27, 2019, signed by its SecretaryGeneral, Felix Akingboye, among others lamented that at the expiration of the ultimatum, nothing was done to address the union’s demands.

According to the letter, “Consequently, the leadership of the union has directed that members of the union shall withdraw services throughout the nation’s seaports effective 0.600 hours (6 am) Wednesday, July 3rd 2019.”

The Union letter was copied among others, Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), President,

Gov Oyetola Adeleke assured the people of the state that he would not disappoint them when he eventually, “through the grace of God and instrumentally of the judiciary emerge victorious after the Supreme Court judgement.”

He urged his supporters to

discountenance the utterances of the opposition “in their bid to whip up sentiments and lower your spirits,” imploring them to be peaceful and maintain decorum as he expressed confidence in the apex court to deliver judgment without fear or favour.

National Associations of Stevedoring Companies, Executive Director, Finance and Administration (NPA), terminal operators and shipping companies.

Earlier, the union had in the June 11 ultimatum, asked the Ministry of Transportation to within two weeks ensure the payment of the outstanding wages and address all other related issues, failing which the nation’s ports would be shut down.

MWUN in a statement by its President-General and SecretaryGeneral, Prince Adewale Adeyanju and Felix Akingboye, said it could no longer watch while members die prematurely and suffer the humiliation of not being able to meet basic necessities such as house rent, school fees, medical bills among others.

The statement read in part: “We want to use this medium to intimate you and the Federal Government of the non-payment of the stevedoring wages to dockworkers by the International Oil Companies, IOCs, operating in Nigeria.

It is on record that on June 1, 2018, the NPA appointment stevedoring contractors to provide stevedoring contractors to provide stevedoring services at various off-shore jetties and on-shore locations to the International Oil Services and other operators. It will be necessary to inform you that NPA had held several meetings with these operators to grant access to the government-appointed stevedoring contractors process their invoices and effect payment, unfortunately, the operators have refused to comply with the NPA directive after one year that the stevedoring contractors were appointed.

“We commend the managing director of Nigerian Port Authority for the NPA management has made to compel the IOCs to engage the services of appointed stevedoring

and registered dockworkers in their stevedores and registered dockworkers in their stevedoring operators.

“In fact, at the stakeholders meeting held on February 28, 2018, organised by the NPA at Victoria Island, Lagos, to sensitise stakeholders’ i.e IOCs, Jetty Owners and Terminal Owners, that the NPA appointed stevedores and registered dockworkers are empowered by law to solely handle discharged and loading operations at the ports, jetties and oil platforms.

“The position of the operators on NPA directive is worrisome and very surprising because the same operators had processed and paid the former stevedoring contractors since 2010 through a foremost terminal operator.

So, why are they refusing to cooperate with the newly appointed stevedoring contractors since the modus operandi remains the same?

“The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has been monitoring the chain of events on this matter since last one year, and noted that the implication of the operators’ defiant attitude amongst others is the untimely death of some dockworkers while awaiting the payment of their wages, because they could not meet their family obligations like payment of house rent, children school fees and hospital bills, to mention but few. We can no longer continue to watch our members die prematurely because of defiant the attitude of the IOCs. “Consequently, we are constrained to give the Ministry of Transportation that superintends the appointment of stevedores two weeks (14 days) to prevail on the management of the IOCs to pay all outstanding bills to our members, failing which we will be compelled to withdraw our services and shut down operations in all the Nations Sea Ports.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded that the Federal Government should as a matter of urgency prosecute the former Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, over his alleged role in the reported National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) N2.5 billion fraud.

The party also demanded the immediate prosecution of the sacked Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Usman Yusuf, over allegations of misappropriation of N919 million as exposed by a ministerial panel.

The PDP in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, held that the duo must not be left off the hook because of their affiliation with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Presidency.

The party insisted that Alhaji Lai Mohammed should be prosecuted alongside the already docked Director General of the NBC, Alhaji Modibbo Kawu, following his statement at the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).

The PDP invited Nigerians to note that the ICPC had already indicated, in a press release, that Alhaji Lai Mohammed admitted in a statement to it, that he was “misled” by the Director General of the NBC, who was his subordinate, into approving the payment of the N2.5 billion to a private company.

He said according to the ICPC, “the former minister’s involvement had come under questioning following discovery by the ICPC, during investigations, that a government White Paper that governs the execution of DSO programme was allegedly flouted by the head of the NBC. “Mohammed had however admitted in a statement to the commission that he was misled by Kawu,” the ICPC further stated.

The party therefore insisted that since the ICPC holds that the former minister’s involvement had come under questioning, he should be made to explain himself in the dock, not as a witness but as a defendant in the matter.

“This is a former minister who was in a haste to publish names of innocent Nigerians as looters just because they are members of the PDP, while a humongous fraud simmered under his nose.

“Furthermore, the PDP states that the dismissal of the NHIS boss has also vindicated its position that billions of naira belonging to the Scheme and meant for the health needs of Nigerians was being frittered.

“The party therefore states that Prof. Yusuf must be prosecuted in order to track and recover the over N25billion allegedly siphoned from the account of the Scheme in the Treasury Single Account (TSA) to service APC interests,” stated Ologbondiyan.

2019 polls: Police make 58 high profile arrests Forfeited N12.2bn: As Yakubu renews call for election offences tribunal Patience Jonathan Tunde Opalana, heads to Appeal Court Abuja The Police on Tuesday said it arrested 58 high profile Nigerians for different electoral offences during the 2019 general election.

Twenty five of the 58 arrests were made during the Presidential and National Assembly elections, 17 during gubernatorial election and 14 during other polls.

The disclosure was made by the Deputy Inspector General in-charge of Operations, Abdulmajid Ali, during the opening ceremony of the InterAgency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) in continuation of the review of the 2019 general election at the national headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

DIG Ali, who stood in for Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, at the forum, said out of the 58 arrest, 39 have been conclusively investigated and concluded and charged to courts while the remaining 19 are pending.

The police boss commended other security agencies, particularly the military for the cooperation given to the police and INEC during the last election.

He added that there is no gain saying that the experiences of last general election and the relationship with INEC and the police and other security agencies, was quite cordial.

The ICCES forum, he posited, has presented a veritable forum for official interaction at strategic

level for both agencies as well as other relevant security agencies towards exchanging professional ideas on electoral duties and election functions.

As INEC prepares for the governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states, Ali emphasised need for training and development of security personnel as very important before the elections.

“I want to also assure that the Nigeria Police and other security agencies are ever ready to put more efforts in ensuring that the forthcoming governorship elections will be free and fair, and credible,” he pledged.

Meanwhile, National Chairman of INEC, Prof.

Mahmood Yakubu, at the occasion, renewed his call for the establishment of the Elections Offences Tribunal as a way of creating crisis free elections.

He called for legislative backing for the establishment, saying: “I wish to renew the call for the establishment of the Electoral Offences Tribunal.

We shall work with the National Assembly to ensure the passage of a private members Bill sponsored in the Senate by the former Chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC, Senator Abubakar Kyari and in the House of Representatives

by Hon. Francis Charles Uduyok.

“Their effort was reinforced by an Executive Bill submitted to the National Assembly arising from the report of the Ken Nnamani Committee on Electoral Reform. The truth is that democracy and credible elections will be deepened where electoral offenders

Peter Fowoyo

IGP Adamu are swiftly prosecuted. For instance, in the recent general elections in South Africa held in May 2019, some electoral offenders were arrested and swiftly charged to court even before the election was concluded.

He said election security is necessary because election is the biggest peacetime activity in Nigeria involving millions of people as voters, election officials, candidates, observers and the media (national and international), party agents, transporters and a range of other service providers.

As the forthcoming governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states are scheduled to hold on Saturday 16th November 2019, Yakubu warned political parties and political actors to avoid violence as the Commission in conjunction with security agencies will not tolerate disruption of electoral processes.

He said: “Given the history of political violence, resulting in the governorship elections declared inconclusive in

the two states in 2015, the Commission is concerned about the safety of our personnel, properties and the sanctity of the electoral process.

“The politicians in Bayelsa and Kogi must shed off the toga of political violence associated with elections in the two states. I am glad to note the peace efforts in Bayelsa State through a broad-based Stakeholders Summit on Violence-free elections.

“I am also glad that some concerned leaders in Kogi State are considering a similar initiative. I want to assure all well-meaning leaders of Bayelsa and Kogi States that the Commission will work with them to ensure peaceful and credible polls.

“I also wish to assure all voters in the two states that INEC will protect the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that the will of the people prevails.

We will also work with the security agencies to ensure professionalism and neutrality in strict compliance with their rules of engagement.”

Twenty - four hours after a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos ordered the wife of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience, to forfeit about N12.2 billion to the Federal Government, the erstwhile First Lady on Tuesday headed to the Lagos division of the Court of Appeal to challenge the decision of the lower court.

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun had on Monday ordered the final forfeiture of a sum to the tune of N12.2 billion to the Federal Government, belonging to her.

Specifically, the former first lady and four other firms are asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of Justice Olatoregun.

Mrs. Jonathan particularly insisted through her lawyer that the judge erred in law by ordering the final forfeiture when she had no jurisdiction to do so.

Justice Olatoregun had on Monday ruled on an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, requesting for an order of forfeiture of $8.4million (about N3.030 billion) and N9.2 billion found in her companies’ accounts.

The judge had equally declared that the funds were proceeds of unlawful activities.

The judge held that the evidence given by the respondents’ witnesses failed to dispel EFCC’s suspicion that the funds were proceeds of crime.

Dissatisfied with the verdict, the appellants through their lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, lodged an appeal citing miscarriage of justice.

The appellants formulated six grounds of appeal to challenge the entire judgment of the lower court.

They argued in one of the grounds that the trial judge erred in law when she assumed jurisdiction to hear the motion for

final forfeiture filed by the EFCC despite clear abuse of Judicial process by the anti graft agency.

They queried the rationale behind the lower court’s judgement amidst their filing of a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to grant the interim forfeiture in the first place owing to the pendency of different suits which touches on same subject matter via suits marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1207/18; FHC/ABJ/ CS/821/17 and FHC/L/CS/1342.

They are consequently insisting that the lower court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the motion for final forfeiture where its judicial process have been Forfeited N12.2bn: Patience Jonathan heads to Appeal Court Peter Fowoyo Twenty - four hours after a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos ordered the wife of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience, to forfeit about N12.2 billion to the Federal Government, the erstwhile First Lady on Tuesday headed to the Lagos division of the Court of Appeal to challenge the decision of the lower court.

Saudi drug saga: Senate mandates FAAN to install CCTV in airports Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate on Tuesday mandated the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to ensure installation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) in all airports in the country to strengthen security of passengers within and around the airports.

The upper Chamber as well called for adequate security system in all the airports in the country for the purpose of monitoring the environments for the avoidance of planting illicit drugs and other illegal activities.

Also, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, moved for punitive punishment for officials fingered in the drug cartel that implicated Nigerians arrested in Saudi Arabia over illicit drugs.

The Senate president said

security agencies should hold all personnel on duty accountable, questioned, investigated and punished accordingly to serve as a deterrent.

Lawan said punishing the culprits in the Saudi drug saga will forestall future arrest of any Nigerian citizen that pass through Nigerian airports on allegations of drug trafficking.

Senate directive follows a motion titled: “The need to strengthen security at the Nigerian Airports,” sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe (Kwara Central) and seven others.

Leading debate on the motion, the lawmaker noted the arrest of two Nigerians who were in detention for almost two years over alleged drug trafficking on a frameup initiated from the Mallam Aminu Kano International

Airport.

He noted that there are several other incidents of arrests of innocent Nigerian citizens by the Saudi government and other countries on similar allegations of drugs trafficking.

He said “these innocent citizens are just victims of circumstances as many of these distasteful situations would have been curtailed but for security lapses at the Nigerian Airports infiltrated by drug syndicates with easy access to plant illicit drugs on innocent travellers or their belongings without their knowledge.”

Senators in their contributions emphasised the need for security agencies to be up and doing and also to sanction erring personnel on duty whenever crime is committed while pointing out the need for change of

attitude of public officials, who intimidate personnel on duty with their positions in government.

Senator Gabriel Suswan (PDP Benue) said: “We cannot just be pushing this to the security. We as VIP must live by example. We should show these people that we are not above the law, otherwise the issue will persist.

Rochas Okorocha (APC Imo) noted that the problem would be solved if somebody is held accountable.

Ibinkule Amosun, (APC Ogun) said that National Assembly should support whatever initiative is put in place to address the ugly development.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who presided over the plenary said: “I had the opportunity to travel to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj and during my trip I was able to engage the embassy

personal in Saudi Arabia.

“We held discussions on what happened on the issue of Zainab Aliyu and the other person from Zamfara Alarama who were arrested.

“The story was very pathetic and I decided that we must take every action that those responsible for planting those illicit drugs in their bags are prosecuted.”

He added that last week, he invited the Inspector General of Police, the chairman/CEO of NDLEA and the MD FAAN to meet with the Senate in the National Assembly, adding, “We told them clearly that the National Assembly was not going to allow the case to be swept under the carpet.”

He disclosed that they have received briefings from the NDLEA that it is in court with five arrested people but sadly they were told that the judge granted them bail which must be for due process.

Lawan said the discouraging part of it was that two of the five accused travelled out of the country, adding that “so we insisted they must be brought back. The case was initially adjourned till June and we were told it was adjourned again till July and we say no the case must be completed expeditiously.

“This people must be punished to serve as deterrent to anybody who toys with the lives of Nigerians. With their action so many Nigerians would have been executed innocently through the fault of others and not their own.

“So this motion is apt; it is timely and this Senate will go ahead to pursue this case to its logical conclusion. I want to assure that this senate will ensure that the lives and property of Nigerians are protected that is why we are here.”

How police in Kano rescued Buhari’s ADC’s father in-law Ahmad Sorondinki, Kano

Kano state Police Command has confirmed that its men have cordoned off the location where the father in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari’s aidede- camp and District Head of Daura, Alhaji Musa Umar was held in captivity for two months by his abductors.

The district head who was abducted by suspected kidnappers was rescued by officers attached to ‘Operation Puff Adder’ response team at Gangar Ruwa Quarters in Gwazaye Village of Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano state after a gun fight with kidnappers.

Confirming the rescue, the police spokesperson in Kano state, Abdullahi Haruna, explained that the encounter with the kidnap suspects led to the eventual rescue of the traditional ruler, adding that in the course of the rescue operation the traditional ruler was rescued unhurt while arms and ammunitions were recovered.

He said that the scene of the encounter with the kidnap suspects has been cordoned off while efforts are been

intensified to arrest the fleeing suspects, confirming that officers who took part in the rescue efforts and the rescued traditional ruler have already left Kano for Abuja.

However, investigation revealed that security operatives had stormed the suspected kidnappers hide-out at Gangar Ruwa quarters at exactly 8pm Monday and started shooting to register their presence, a scenario that forced residents of the area to scamper for safety.

An eye -witness who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said as soon as the operatives arrived, gun shots were heard throughout the night up till the time when they succeeded in actualizing their mission of rescuing Buhari’s ADC’s father -in-law.

He however, told our correspondent that one of the kidnappers sustained gunshot wounds during the encounter and praised the gallantry exhibited by the operatives during the gun duel with the kidnappers.

Speaking to journalists over the incident, the Village Head of Gwazaye, Malam Aliyu said that with the unfolding

development, his people have been gingered to keep a constant vigil on the movement of every person, especially strangers whose identity must be fully established, affirming that taking such measure has become imperative in the bid to stave-off unpleasant situations.

He said that “we would soon commence a house to house search for us to know what is exactly on ground.

We would keep a constant tab on the movement of every person. This is a task we must shoulder and it is our responsibility. The issue of abduction is worrisome and we must do everything within our power to support the government.”

Meanwhile, the rescued district head has arrived Abuja. The traditional ruler was seen in a video clip that that has gone viral being welcomed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The less than 10-second video clip showed the traditional ruler at the airport being welcomed by members of his immediate family, including his son in-law, Col. Lawal Abubakar, as well as other well-wishers.

Short News Reps to commence e-voting today, says Gbajabiamila

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila on Tuesday announced that the House would commence electronic voting during plenary on July 3.

Gbajabiamila, who made the announcement at the commencement of plenary after a two -week recess by members said that the e-voting system would only be applied on some selected national issues to determine accuracy.

“The e-voting system will not be applied on all bills and motions, but some selected national issues for accuracy,” he said.

According to him, the system would ensure transparency and accountability as it would determine who voted for or against any national issue, adding that “progress has been made and by tomorrow it will be fully operational.”

The speaker also said corridors and surroundings of the National Assembly complex is now Wi-Fi enabled to aid legislators carry out research at all times from all locations.

Group tackles Lalong on Ruga policy, says we don’t have land Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state has come under attack by a group operating under the aegis of Berom Youth Moulders (BYM) for accepting to cede land for the proposed federal government Ruga policy for herdsmen.

The movement said that the Berom nation is still mourning the colossal loss of lives, land and properties occasioned by the June 23, 2018 attack by herdsmen in Gashish District of Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area of the state.

It stated that over 200 persons, including properties and land were lost which the federal government and Gov. Lalong have done nothing about to recover the lands from the Fulani assailants and yet the governor is brandishing Ruga.

“Some people are illegally and forcefully occupying lands and communities belonging to the Beroms in Barkin-Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas where the villagers were attacked, killed and chased out,” the movement added.

However, in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Pam Dung Gyang and made available to our correspondent on Tuesday, the group advised the federal government to take necessary steps in the interest of peace and return those lands to their original owners and establish the mobile police barracks in Gashish District as promised by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The statement reads in part: “We have received with rude shock the news for the establishment of Ruga settlement in Barkin-Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas of Plateau state by the federal government.

Prophet gives N3m life-line to journalist after suicide attempt Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (left) and Deputy Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Ehie Edison, and others during the submission of arms surrendered by repentant criminals at the Government House Port Harcourt.

HDP to call 2 witnesses to prove petition against Buhari Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Hope Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate in the February 23 election, Chief Ambrose Owuru on Tuesday told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal that they intend to call only two witnesses to prove their petition against President Muhammadu Buhari’s election.

Counsel to Owuru and the HDP, Chukwu Njoku disclosed this shortly after it adopted the petitioners prehearing information sheet filed on May 5, 2019.

Njoku further told the five- member presidential panel headed by Justice Mohammed Garba that subject to the convenience of the panel they would need two days to establish their petition against the election of Buhari.

Counsel to President Buhari, Chief Alex Izinyon (SAN) while also adopting his client’s pre-hearing information sheet filed on May 7, asked the tribunal for seven days to call two witnesses and an unspecified number of subpoenaed witnesses.

However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), through its lead counsel, Yunus Usman (SAN) asked for two days to call its only witness, just as counsel to the All

Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN) told the tribunal that seven days would be sufficient for them to call just two witnesses alongside some other subpoenaed witnesses against the HDP’s petition.

Meanwhile, the tribunal has fixed July 10 for hearing in a motion filed by the petitioners seeking to amend the statement of oath of the original witnesses to be called in support of the petition.

Justice Garba set the motion for hearing on the above date after Buhari, INEC and the APC requested for time to respond to the motion which they all said was served on them morning.

Subsequently, Justice Garba ordered the respondents to file their responses within three days and the petitioners to reply on point of law within two days if they so desire.

Similarly, Justice Garba, will on the same July 10 deliver the tribunal’s ruling in INEC’s motion seeking the dismissal of the HDP’s petition for allegedly being incompetent and abuse of court process.

Owuru and the HDP in their petition dated March 7 and marked are seeking the nullification of President Buhari’s victory on grounds of alleged irregularities and violation of the 1999

Constitution as well as the Electoral Act. According to them, the February 23 presidential election which produced Buhari for a second term in office was unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional and unknown to law and as such should be invalidated by the tribunal.

The petitioners had in one of their motions argued that the postponement of the election from February 16 to 23 had no legal backing as no cogent and verifiable reason required by law were advanced for the postponement and insisted that the February 23 poll was never validly held by INEC, and cannot produce any valid result or returns recognizable by law.

Citing several authorities to buttress their averment, the petitioners further submitted that since INEC breached the provisions of the Electoral Act, especially section 26 to conduct the February 23 poll, the purported election cannot stand in the eyes of the law.

They therefore, prayed for an order compelling INEC to produce before the tribunal notice of election, original time-table for February 16, the press statement of February 16 as well as minutes of the meeting where the decision to postpone the presidential poll was held.

General Overseer of the Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin has doled out N3million life line to a journalist after his failed suicide attempt.

Prophet Fufeyin, who confirmed that he was moved to save the life of the journalist, disclosed that harmful drugs were recovered from the victim by his neighbours who smelt a rat of his evil mission.

It was gathered that the journalist, one time staff of Sun newspaper, Emmanuel Ogoigbe had allegedly attempted to take his life following his sack from the newspaper and his subsequent poor financial situation as he allegedly facing, difficulties catering for his immediate family.

Sources said on the fateful day, Ogoigbe allegedly wrote a suicide letter and dropped it at a strategic position for his family members to see in his room in Warri, when his neighbours rushed in to save his life Receiving the donation on Sunday at the church in Warri, Delta state, Emmanuel Ogoigbe disclosed that he was on his way out when his neighbours rescued him.

“I have written several letters for help to no avail and I have helped a number of people who today abandoned me to be suffering. Sun newspaper sacked me and I can no longer feed my family members and things became very difficult for me; even to feed was now difficult and I decided to take my life and rest, but thank God for using Prophet Jeremiah to save my life,” Ogoigbe said.

He said it was only Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, who God used to come to his rescue, alleging that many of his friends deserted him when things became worse.

“I have helped several people to get to higher positions, but they never remembered me and life became very unbearable for me, and I took the decision to end my life before Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin came to my rescue,” he disclosed.

Uniuyo, contractors disagree on abandoned projects Isaac Job, Uyo The management of the University of Uyo has blamed contractors for the uncompleted projects littering the main campus of the institution while the vendors complained of funds to execute them.

Director of Physical Planning of the university, Sunday Asuquo Bassey while conducting our correspondent round the school premises said about nine projects either abandoned or on-going were funded by TETFUND, NEEDS Assessment and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in the main campus of the institution.

Speaking yesterday in Uyo with our correspondent on the state of ongoing projects in the institution, Bassey said the university was not liable for the state of the projects and denied insinuations that some of the projects have been abandoned because almost all the projects are ongoing, but at a slow pace.

He said some of the contractors handling the projects have either deliberately stopped work to request for variation of the projects or delaying the work unnecessarily by working at a very slow pace.

According to him, complete funding has been released for seven projects funded under the NEEDS Assessment project of the federal government, but explained that the contractors handling TETFUND funded projects cannot access more money until they judiciously utilize the initial releases.

He said the only project abandoned on the campus was the proposed agricultural laboratory awarded to Perez Nigeria Limited in 2011 and funded by the federal government through treasury cost.

Rape and the Senior Pastor of COZA

Reuben Abati

COZA is the acronym of a church in Abuja, Nigeria, known as the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly.

It is one of those Pentecostal churches that dot every street of Nigeria where the Pastors claim to have a direct phone line to God, and are majorly regarded by the congregation as the anointed voice and representatives of God on earth. Pentecostalism in Nigeria is almost synonymous with perfection and anointment, a man only needs to claim that he has been called by God, and that he sees visions and can perform miracles, before you know it, he becomes the leader of multitudes and every day, people take their problems to him, to help them intercede with God and bring miracles into their lives. In a country where poverty is a menace, where uncertainty rules, the present is dark, the past is unreachable, and tomorrow is hellish, religion sells.

What the people do not understand, they hand over to God. They hang their lives on the neck of religion.

They seek extra-terrestrial, mystical interpretations for the unknown.

Pastors, clerics, and spiritualists of all kinds prosper in Nigeria because they are trusted, and they are patronized by the people with all that they have.

Members of the congregation refer to them as Daddy, and their wives as Mummy. In some denominations, people subject themselves to all kinds of denigration and depersonalization in the presence of pastors and their wives. It doesn’t matter that many of these churches are either not registered or that the founder/pastor only a few weeks earlier used to be an unemployed graduate or a wandering,

lost, disoriented Nigerian also looking for a way to survive the terror of being Nigerian.

Once he calls the name of God and he quotes the Holy Books and lays claims to Nostradamic distinction, a ready crowd immediately surrounds him; lost, troubled souls who are also in search of meaning, they open doors for him, fawn on him, and grant him the stature and the importance that he seeks. But these men and women of God, many of who wield more influence than the Government of Nigeria, and enjoy a celebrity status far beyond the reach of political figures, are not necessarily the saints that they claim to be. Professor Wole Soyinka in a fictive representation: The Trials of Brother Jero and Jero’s Metamorphosis, long before now offered a prophetic and grippingly realistic description of the double-facedness and the contradictory persona of these so-called men of God. The Hallelujah tradition in Nigeria, equaled on the Islamic side by Jihadist fervor, may have rescued many Nigerians from depression and suicide, to the extent that a maniacal devotion to God provides many a reason for living and becoming, relevance and hope, but it is also, whatever its colour, Christian or Muslim, a ready source of many afflictions in Nigeria.

This is an irony that is often played out, to the consternation of the community. There is a prominent church leader in Nigeria (Rev. King) who is today on the death row. He was accused of turning a woman into a sex slave and eventually being the cause of her death. The spiritual father turned killer; the assumed savior as

assassin. The biggest irony is that years after his incarceration, members of the man’s church have refused to disband. They have kept the church going. They believe that their boss is going through an equivalent of “The Last Temptation” and that he will return from death’s door-post. This kind of mad devotion to so-called men of God is one of the biggest problems in Nigeria. Each time the bubble bursts, the people reel in disbelief or they resort to anger. They are shocked to discover that the man they regard as saint is not a saint. They call him daddy but he is worse than an animal. They trust him but he is most undeserving.

He is at best a flawed being like everyone else. In Nigeria, every man of God who falls rises again elsewhere.

Religion in Nigeria is at best a scam, or so it seems, in other words a cover for the Nigerian problem and the lack of commitment to a rational solution.

This is the problem that bad Christians and bad Muslims have caused.

I have said all of this to provide a thematic context for the unmasking, the “thingification” and the humiliation of the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo in the past few days. It is the biggest story in Nigeria at the moment, having made the front pages of newspapers for two days, and the front page of every online tweet and social media in general as a trending story. Senior Pastor Biodun has been dressed in a robe worse than that of the fictive Brother Jero. He has been accused of rape by Mrs. Busola Dakolo, wife of Timi Dakolo, one of the most

original voices in Nigerian music. In an original and best-scoop-of-theyear interview with Chude Jideonwo of YNaija, a good advertisement for the positive side of social media, Mrs. Dakolo disclosed that when she was 17, Pastor Fatoyinbo of COZA raped her.

There is no point repeating the details of the encounter, except to note that some commentators and friends of Pastor Fatoyinbo have tried to dig holes in Mrs. Dakolo’s narrative. Why didn’t she put up some resistance?

Why didn’t she shout? Why did she allow a second encounter? Why did she keep quiet for so long? Why is she just speaking up now after three kids?

Is she seeking fame? The man gave her Krest soft drink and she took it?

By the way, don’t be surprised if Krest is suddenly revived- it is the biggest marketing beneficiary of the Fatoyinbo rape saga. And is she playing games?

Blackmailing a man of God? What we can hold on to however, is the fact that at the time she was allegedly raped, she was 17 years old, and that in itself makes the event a serious crime. It is unlawful to have carnal knowledge of a minor. The age of consent in Nigeria is 18. Pastor Fatoyinbo who has since issued a statement on the matter insists that he has never raped anyone in his life. He is yet to tell us however whether or not he had carnal knowledge of Busola Dakolo at a time she was a minor. That is the question he is yet to address, his wife, Modele’s spirited, I-stand-by-my-husband defence notwithstanding.

‘Ruga’ not rugged enough

Banji Ojewale

After a long season of dithering over how to respond to nationwide killings by Fulani herdsmen across Nigeria, the federal authorities finally came up with an initiative proving merely to be one of the old tricks from the bag of a hag. We are on familiar grounds again. Nothing new has been said. It is the unveiling of the jaded strategy to bring the entire country under the rule of the cow, the cownisation of our communities nationwide.

From the bag of the hag has come the explanation that the killer herdsmen are our brothers and sisters who we must learn to cohabit with. From the pouch also emerged the revelation that the herdsmen are fleeing warriors from Libya, looking for new theatres after the bloody conflict that consumed Libyan strongman, Muammar Gaddafi.

Later, we were told the herdsmen are simple folks affected by the climate change that dried up the water and withered the grass their cattle fed on. The tale changed to one claiming that the elemental fury of the itinerant Fulanis was their reaction to the blocking of their grazing routes in the areas they were turning into bloody zones. Then this: the anti-grazing law passed by some state governments was responsible for the genocidal farmers-herdsmen clashes, said to have caused the maiming, destruction of property, deaths and displacement of thousands of Nigerians.

The government wouldn’t listen to popular pleas by the people to resort to less confrontational and provocative solutions to the herders’ problems, to confine the cattlemen to their states for grazing. There were suggestions of ranching the

animals in settlements in the North, complete with the basic needs of both cowmen and cows. Some state governors even said they were ready to accommodate the herdsmen in government ranches to stop them from open grazing and vandalism of farms. But the federal government and the cattlemen set aside these proposals. The government did a lot of somersaults: first, it talked of looking for states outside the core North to set up the cow estates; next it pleaded for unhindered movement down South for the herdsmen; finally, the central government decided on erecting what it called cattle colonies, chiefly in the Middle Belt and the Southern parts of the federation.

These proposals have all been rejected by the majority of the citizens on account of the failure of government to capture or address the concerns of the owners and inhabitants of the territories it wants to appropriate on behalf of the Fulanis. The landowners are suspicious of the motives of the government and the herdsmen it is fighting for. They do not believe the story would end with the cession of a few hectares or acres of prized land to the herdsmen, their families and cows. You can’t establish an exclusive estate for a herdsman and expect him, his family and animals not to come in tow. They are one household: the beasts, their owners and their harems and offsprings.

They come close to the population of a local government area in Africa’s most populous country.

Now, despite opposition to its plan to erect these cattle colonies in some states, the federal government is poised to ram the idea down

our throats. On Tuesday this week, the government through the permanent secretary of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammed Umar, gave the impression that there is no going back in the march to cattle estates in the states. He called it the Ruga Settlement. He said: “The Ruga settlement is one of the very important things being done by the Ministry and it is one of the best things that can happen, not only to Nigeria but to most of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a concept that we developed to deal with internal security. We felt that to do away with herders-farmers’ conflict, we need to settle our nomads and those who breed animals. We want to put them in a place that has been developed as a settlement, where we provide water for their animals, pasture, schools for their children, security, agro-rangers, etc…and definitely in the next five to 10 years you will never see a nomad moving about, wandering or kidnapping.

And this will end all these security challenges.”

He says this Ruga project has been approved by President Muhammadu Buhari, starting with 12 states that he failed to identify.

But several states have said that they must not be numbered among the Ruga community of herdsmen.

All the five South-East states are saying a non-negotiable ‘no’ to it.

One of them, Imo, insists it would not allow itself to be roped into Ruga. Benue, epicentre of the early days of the bloodiest herdsmen’s attacks, says it has no land for the cowmen. Taraba says it will not accept it. And down South-West, Ondo has said it doesn’t believe in

Ruga.

It is being rejected for a number of reasons. The central government’s cavalier approach to securing help for the herdsmen has alienated the people whose land it needs.

The government thinks there is no alternative to its cattle colony solution. It is not addressing the anxieties of the states that a subtle form of internal ‘colonialism’ is in the making through Ruga. The government is about to open a deadlier era of conflict if it attempts to foist alien citizens upon an unwilling civilisation. Why uproot one culture and plant it in a strange soil? The Buhari administration has disowned constitutional federalism by going for policies giving birth to suffocating centralism, uniformity and unilateral imposition.

Federalism gains strength only when its diversities are acknowledged and respected and given depth by preserving them, not by killing them through domination of others in the union.

President Buhari must review his stand on Ruga as it is built mainly to benefit the herdsmen with no advantage to their hosts. He should be worried that even at takeoff, the scheme can’t stand the simple test of acceptability in the hands of those who are key to its success. If the community to host nomads is already disavowing at a distance, those the president is pushing towards them, isn’t it sufficient alarm that some danger would follow when they are eventually forced into a meeting or union?

How can a rejected Ruga roar above the storms it would bring upon our fickle and fragile fraternity?

Editorial Commentary PENCIL’S CORNER with

Omenesa

The road I woke up from a dream this morning, that I titled, “ Expectation”. In this dream, many of my needs were not met. As I stood stranded in the woods, waiting for ‘Expectation’ to rescue me, I gave the benefit of the doubt, that ‘Expectation’ may not even know the way to save me. So since I know the way, it will be up to me to save myself. You see, there is a trail to respect, and a line that I can allow you cross. There is a road where you meet me at my vulnerability, but not to be mistaken for weakness.

There is a bridge to character, a bridge to principles. A bridge that many have not found. There is a path to owning up to your mistakes, to knowing that you were wrong, and that what you did was disspeakable. What you said was unfathomable. There is a road to growth. Growth in the mind body and spirit. There is a passage to love. Love is not an entitlement, it is an investment, that one can NEVER withdraw without a deposit. Taking ownership of what you didn’t invest in makes you a thief, a rapist, a fraud. There is a road to ignorance, but there is also a road to an institution. Experience does not teach EVERYTHING, neither does travelling.

The class room is not as small as it looks.

Big minds live there! There is a road to the mortuary and a road to the grave.

There is a path you could take that could begin, or end it all. There is a road we all see you travel, and we know it is a

dead end. Many have mentioned this to you in many ways, but what is a mirage, seems so real to you. Could it be that you skipped the road to the class room, or the road to humility? Oh yes, there is a road to humility too. Meekness covers so many loop holes, but very few know this. In your meekness, you will see the plaque in your teeth and the alcohol in your breath. There is a trail to wholeness, but you refuse to get healed. Insecurity is a disease too, in the same category of aids and diabetes 2. My Dear, it is up to you. Will you take the road, or continue in this mode? I really don’t know what else to say, because the truth is, you don’t even know the way. ****** IN A NUTSHELL 1. At some point, you have the take the road less travelled, nd you also have to forgive those who REFUSE to travel with you.

2. Be humble.

3. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

Some people really don’t know the way.

4. You have to be willing to learn what you don’t know.

5. Misery is the baby of expectation.

6. Depend on God. 7. Don’t depend on people.

8. Strengthen your emotional muscles.

9. You have to save yourself.

10. D you have courage to go down the road?

Delta court sentences 3 armed robbers to death by hanging Nosa Akenzua, Asaba An Asaba High Court in Asaba, Delta state has sentenced three armed robbers to death by hanging.

Samuel Osadebe, Emeka Obodoechina and Onyelluka Owelleka were sentenced to death

by Justice Thearesa Dai on charges bordering on armed robbery and kidnapping.

A prosecution witness, Hygienius Nwadike testified that the first accused person, Samuel Osadebe with Facebook name Barry lured him to Asaba from Owerri under the pretext that he wanted to open his new house in Asaba.

“The accused person sent someone to pick me up in a Honda vehicle and on our way we stopped at a bush and five armed men emerged from the bush with a locally made pistol, sticks and cutlasses.

“I was beaten up mercilessly and I was dispossessed of my valuables including N3, 700 after which the robbers demanded a ransom of N2.5million, but my family paid N90, 000 after negotiation before I was released,” he said Inspector Nwadike said that while still in the custody of the abductors, another victim, one Ese Ekong a youth corps member was brought to the same place inside the bush around Okwe Oduke community, disclosing that the said corps member

passed out after severe beating and his corpse was dumped in a river in the forest.

But, the defense counsel to the accused persons, Kingsley Ekenede however, urged the court to discharge and acquit the accused persons based on contradictions in dates when the kidnap of the deceased was reported to the police and when Nwadike saw the deceased, and the prosecution’s failure to call material witnesses.

Relying on both judicial and statutory authorities, the presiding judge, Justice Dai dismissed the submission of the defence counsel, stressing that the purported contradictions were not fatal to the prosecution’s case.

In a 21-page judgement, Justice Dai posited that having considered the cases of the suspects, she is convinced that each of the three accused persons was guilty of the offence of armed robbery and kidnapping under Section 1(2) (a) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provision) Act law of Delta state and the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Terrorism Law 2013.

Reacting to allocutus (plea of mercy) by the defence counsel, the court stated that it wished it could impose terms of years at least to serve as lesson to the accused persons, but said it could not having regard to the fact that the sentence for armed robbery was the mandatory death sentence.

OUR POSITION Tackling the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria The devastating consequences of drug use know no geographic, economic, social, or ethnic boundaries. Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the globe – rich, poor, educated, illiterate, male, female, and even young children die from drug abuse, and millions more are victims of addiction and drugfueled violence.

Beyond the toll drugs take on health and welfare, substance use disorders undermine economic development, diminishes social and political stability, and reduces security in countries and regions around the world.

It is no longer news that 70% of youth in Nigeria today get themselves involved in one form of drug abuse or the other.

Amidst the widespread commendations over the ban of codeine by the Federal Government, a new largescale nationwide survey has revealed that drug use by people within the ages of 15 and 64 years in Nigeria is on the rise.

A survey on drug use in Nigeria last year had revealed that the nation is breeding a wild generation of drug addicts. This gory state of affairs of substance abuse calls for the declaration of a state of emergency, considering the fact that the youth population is the fulcrum of national development.

The nationwide survey by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) funded by European Union (EU) in partnership with the Federal Government said 10.6 million Nigerians abused cannabis in 2018, while 4.6 million abused opiods.

The report said that 2.4 million youths and adults also abused cough syrups with 92,000 more using cocaine. Other drugs commonly abused during the period are tranquilizers and sedatives, solvent, inhalers, amphetamines and prescription stimulants.

This survey also reports that one of four drug users in Nigeria is a woman. Adding that the extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high compared to previous global annual prevalence of any drug abuse use.

Basically, youths in the country inhale, inject and consume psychotic and narcotic substances and drugs at will, easily evading the scrutiny of a society distracted by economic malaise at the expense of their future wellbeing.

Truth be told, the impact of drug abuse is lethal.

Many families are contending with drug addicts; some of them have quit schooling and work; others are on the verge of lunacy or battling with acute diseases.

The number of drug users in Nigeria is estimated at 14.4 per cent or 14.3 million people aged between 15 and 64 years according to the results of the National Drug Use Survey. The data suggests that the prevalence of past year drug use in Nigeria is more than twice the global average of 5.6 per cent.

The extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high when compared with the 2016 global annual prevalence of any drug use of 5.6 per cent among the adult population.

There is a gap in meeting the needs for treatment and care for people with drug use disorders. With close to three million Nigerians living with some level of drug dependence, the extremely limited availability of drug counselling and treatment services exacerbates this health crisis.

This is indeed striking and alarming and calls for concerted efforts to mitigate the negative consequences of this rising menace on the health, socio-economic and security of our nation.

Even though the Federal Government has over the years responded boldly to this global challenge with innovative, standard-setting drug demand reduction programs, we are of the opinion that there is need to solve the problem.

Awareness programmes need to be developed to address the perception of stigma among the youth and their families over substance use and to remove barriers towards seeking care for these problems.

These programmes should also address the inability of the youth to perceive addictive behaviours as a health risk.

Parents and support persons’ involvement and engagement in youth programmes should be strengthened further as it improves communication and better decision-making for youth health issues.

Family-based prevention programmes emphasising parenting skills, training or improving family functioning, communication and family rules regarding substance abuse needs to be introduced.

Also, teachers are a major source of information to young people. Hence, strengthening the role and performance of educational institutions, ensuring availability of counselling services, gender sensitivity issues, making life skills courses a part of curriculum are required for health and welfare of young people.

Most importantly, in all youth related programmes, young people should be involved and engaged to empower them to take informed decisions.

Cordial relations between Presidency, Short News FG approves new conditions of service for AIB NASS not anathema - Lawan Tunde Opalana, Abuja

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has said it is not an anathema for a ruling party controlled legislature to work harmoniously with the executive arm of government.

Rather than being acrimonious, he said he is going to lead the 9th National Assembly to harmoniously work with President Muhammadu Buhari to help him deliver on his mandate of turning around the fortunes of Nigerians.

Welcoming his colleagues back after a two –week break, Lawan in a speech titled: “Now the work begins” during plenary on Tuesday, however, said he will not compromise the integrity of the National Assembly.

The Senate President said he is aware that there are people for whom any notion of the leadership of the National Assembly controlled by the ruling party working in harmony with the executive is anathema.

This notion, he said is not the way the presidential system of government was designed to function and that he is not ready for any adversarial or acrimonious relationship with the executive arm.

He promised to work closely with President Buhari in the interest of Nigeria, without compromising the integrity of the National Assembly as an independent arm of government with oversight powers.

“As lawmakers, one of the powerful tools we have for our work is the power of oversight

which is meant to enhance transparency and accountability. In exercising these powers, we will not only review, monitor and supervise projects being implemented by the executive, we will critically examine them vis-à-vis the cost and whether they align with our national aspirations.

“And we will follow the progress of these projects right from conception to when they are finally delivered to the people. But, we will do so with every sense of responsibility.

“I have been in the National Assembly since 1999, first as a member of the House of Representatives and from 2007 as a senator, so I am conversant with the role of the legislature and the principle of separation of powers, both in theory and in practice.

“The system of checks and balances which we practice in Nigeria today, was enshrined to safeguard the values of justice and the rule of law and deliver public good. Therefore, in a season when majority of Nigerians are more concerned with outcomes that reflect their concerns, the best way to serve that interest is through cooperation and collaboration.

“In a period of dwindling resources amid rising population, the expectations of our people remain huge. But, to deliver those essential services without which our society can neither develop nor thrive, the executive and the legislature must work together. So, in exercising our mandate as lawmakers, we must at all times, and in all circumstances, be guided by how our action will positively impact the greater majority of our people.

“Each of us, as lawmakers must also resolve that the exchange of views, especially within this hallowed chambers will be constructive and that we will respect one another.

Tolerance which we cannot legislate upon in this chamber, is a virtue we must all strive to promote in a bid to reposition our multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. On my part, I pledge to lead in a bi-partisan and unifying manner,” he reiterated.

Lawan solicited the support of his colleagues to leverage on their position as lawmakers to help President Buhari deliver on his mandate in spite of the challenges facing the country, adding that “l will be doing more of that in the coming weeks and months. If we must build an economy that lifts majority of our people out of poverty, there is need for a serious collaboration between the executive and the legislature.

“It should worry us in this chamber that majority of our people still grapple with extreme poverty. But, while how to tackle the growing inequality should be part of our legislative agenda, the security challenge posed by insurgents, kidnappers, armed robbers and other criminal cartels from North to South, East to West will require our collective efforts.

“We also need to consolidate on the oil sector reforms started by the last Senate even as we help the executive to reinvigorate the war against corruption with necessary legislations.

If there is one issue that is dear to me and which we must all take very seriously, it is that more than 10 million of our children are out of school.

The federal government has approved a staff condition of service for the Accident Investigation Bureau, Nigeria (AIB-N).

The approval was conveyed in a letter dated June 25 sent to the bureau from the office of the head of civil service of the federation.

This is the first time the bureau will be having its own condition of service since it was established as an autonomous agency 12 years ago.

Before now, the agency has been using the conditions of service of a sister agency while her struggles to have her own condition of service for several years has been unsuccessful.

While expressing his delight, the Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer, Akin Olateru, thanked the head of service, the ministry of transportation, the unions and the staff of AIB for the landmark achievement and emphasised that the AIB management is committed to improving the welfare of the staff.

He said that “this is one of the proofs that we value our staff and are committed to a robust welfare package for them. Since we came onboard, we have relentlessly been pursuing accelerated capacity development, provision of conducive environment for working and a world standard working condition for our staff.’’

The commissioner charged the staff to reciprocate the government’s gesture by redoubling their efforts in discharging their duties and responsibilities and also support the management in its bid to reposition the bureau to meet the global standards in accident investigation.

Leadership of the local chapters of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and NAAPE expressed gratitude to the management for its commendable support in realising the long awaited staff condition of service.

They remarked that it was indeed, a landmark achievement for this administration and the entire staff of the bureau.

Face your corruption charges, PDP mocks Oshiomhole Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to face his pending corruption allegations against him in the party and his imminent sack for alleged misconduct, instead of seeking a face-saving measure by embarking on shadow-boxing against the PDP. The party said Oshiomhole, who is battling his ouster calls by APC leaders over allegations of corruption and malfeasance in his handling of party affairs, is in no position to cast aspersions or pontificate to the PDP on its internal activities and relationship with its elected public officials.

Instead of trying to launder his image by unnecessarily attacking the PDP, the party advised Oshiomhole to redeem his name by submitting himself to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to answer allegations of corruption as Edo state governor as well as alleged misconduct as APC chairman.

The PDP in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan on Tuesday, challenged Oshiomhole to speak out on the allegations that he fled the country at the wake of his reported interrogation by the DSS in 2018 over accusations of corruption.

The party said that “this is a leader who had accepted that his party and the government it formed are sanctuaries of corrupt persons when he stated at the APC campaign rally in Edo state last year that once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven.

PFN threatens to sanction pastors who take advantage of members Titus Akhigbe, Benin President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude, yesterday, said the body will sanction any pastor who takes undue advantage of members of his congregation.

This was contained in a press statement signed by him and made available to newsmen in Benin City, the Edo state capital.

The statement reads in part: “The PFN hereby warns Pentecostal pastors who feel they can live carelessly and take undue advantage of their congregants that PFN will

not shield anyone who crosses the line.”

It said the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) was saddened and disturbed by the allegations of criminal conduct and serial impropriety that have been made against the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The press release noted that PFN is utterly shocked at these allegations, as the acts that have been alleged are not only criminal in nature, but antithetical to the tenets of Christianity and a violent breach of the trust that ought to exist between members of the congregation and a minister of the gospel.

The statement said the body strongly

condemns “this ignoble conduct as alleged against Pastor Fatoyinbo. Our prayers, thoughts and support are with all those who have fallen victim as have been reported.”

It averred that the PFN strongly believes in the pursuit of truth and will ensure that truth is unveiled in this whole matter and appropriate sanctions served, adding that although, Pastor Fatoyinbo has, not in the past subscribed to the PFN, they recognize that he is a Pentecostal pastor.

The PFN however, called on all concerned while expressing their views over this sad issue, to be peaceful and have some respect for the Kingdom.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila on Tuesday inaugurated a 10-man ad hoc committee to review the House standing orders.

Gbajabiamila, who made the announcement at the plenary, said that the committee would be headed by Rep. Julius Ihonvbere (APC-Edo).

The speaker however, did not announce the principal officers of the House as expected with a member of the House ad hoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Rep. Bamidele Salam (PDP-Osun), explaining at a press conference, that there was need for further consultations.

Rep. Salam said that there was need to consult members and to ensure that the selection process of the principal officers is in tandem with House rules.

Reacting to the announcement of principal officers of the Senate, the lawmaker said that unlike the Senate which consists of 109 members, the House of Representatives is made up of 350 members.

He however, said that the principal officers of the House would be announced before the end of the week.

FG deploying EFCC to persecute Saraki, says Atiku Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has emphatically said that the renewed investigation of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki is not prosecution, but persecution of opponents of government.

He alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is being used as an instrument of the state to persecute seeming antagonists of the Buhari administration.

The presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) even pitied Saraki for keeping silent too long in the face of obvious persecution.

Atiku in a statement on Tuesday said his stand against corruption in

government, was the reason why his office as vice president personally facilitated the take-off of the EFCC after it was created by then President Olusegun Obasanjo.

However, he said “there is a huge difference between prosecution and persecution. I am all for prosecuting the corrupt, but I believe it is wrong to use the instruments of state to persecute political opponents.

“Bukola Abubakar Saraki, the immediate past Senate President, is one of the most investigated politicians in Nigeria. He has been investigated and prosecuted all the way to the Supreme Court and has prevailed against his accusers. It was expected that that should have been the end of the matter.

“However, the revival of previously

investigated cases and the fact that Saraki was politically opposed to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari seem to give strong grounds for objective bystanders to conclude that his current travails have gone beyond prosecution and are now tending towards persecution.

“The laws of Nigeria are made for all and we fought for democracy so that the powers of the state would not be used to suborn tyranny and oppression.”

He urged Saraki to stand firm and take solace in the fact that Nigerians still hold the constitution higher than any other authority and urged all Nigerians and especially, those tasked with upholding the constitution and the laws of the land, to note that silence in the face of oppression is akin to acquiescence.

Court declines PDP’s request to stop tribunal relocating to Abuja Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Justice F.O Riman of the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa- Ibom state has dismissed the application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to stop the relocation of the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal from Uyo to Abuja.

Delivering ruling in a suit instituted by the state chairman of the party, Mr. Paul Ekpo on behalf of the PDP challenging the powers of the Appeal Court President, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa to move the tribunal from Uyo to Abuja, Justice Riman dismissed the application for lacking in merit and substance.

The judge also declared the application null and void following the grounds on which it was filed.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom state in a petition by its Chairman, Mr. Ini Okopido to the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Justice Abubakar Malami, urged him to relocate the election tribunal from the state to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Okopido in the petition cited alleged attempts to perpetuate electoral fraud by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Mike Igini in collusion with the Akwa Ibom state government and the PDP to destroy electoral materials needed to substantiate the election petition of the APC as the reason for the demand.

He stated that “we observe with deep regrets that since Mr. Mike Igini superintended over the worst general elections ever conducted in Akwa Ibom state that was fraught with manifest irregularities and widespread of electoral infractions, the resident electoral commissioner is now unveiling a grand scheme to thwart and create a chaotic environment to pave way for the pervasion of justice.

“We have been reliably informed that the resident electoral commissioner is now intimidating electoral officers who participated in the just concluded general elections in the state, particularly, collation officers, supervisory presiding officers, presiding officers and assistant presiding officers to forcefully coerce them to concoct and fabricate false reports of violence and ballot paper snatching.

“All in a bid to justify the clandestine activities of Mr. Mike Igini days after the purported declaration of results, seeing that unit results will expressly show that candidates of the APC clearly won the elections by the votes directly delivered at the polling units across the state.”

Meanwhile, reacting to the ruling, a chieftain of the APC, Obong Michael George blamed the PDP over it persistent attacks on the Court of Appeal president.

Describing the ruling as a right step in the tight direction, George wondered why the PDP has persistently chosen to say things that will portray Justice Bulkachuwa in bad light. ‘’The suit was frivolous, reckless, unwarranted and capable of portraying the president of the Court of Appeal in bad light over her constitutional and legitimate right over the establishment of election tribunals as well as its relocation if need be. ‘’Of recent, the PDP presidential candidate asked the Appeal Court president to recuse from sitting in the election petition tribunal.

The party should allow the judiciary exercise its constitutional rights over things it has powers over,” he added.

Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved the immediate payment of N282 million in counterpart funding to deepen access to primary healthcare, health insurance and nutrition for children under the age of three in the state, according to a statement on Tuesday.

Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye said in the statement that the N282 million includes, N100 million counterpart fund for basic healthcare provision funds, N50 million for accelerating nutrition results and another N82 million for access to global grants for malaria.

The statement said the release of the counterpart funds for basic healthcare would grant the state access to the World Bank/federal government’s grant to cater for health needs of pregnant and nursing women and children.

“Access to such funds will help combat maternal mortality rate and other basic health challenges related to women and children. Apart from this, the funds will help to fix facilities for primary healthcare and reduce the pressure on secondary and tertiary health institutions,” the statement added.

Librarians’ Registration Council dismisses report on promotions, employment

The Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria has dismissed as false media reports of disaffection staff in the promotion and recruitment of its work force.

Deputy Director of Public Relations of the council, Mrs. Ngozi Oboh, in a rebuttal, declared that all appointments and promotions done in the council are in line with the service rules and the set procedures are painstakingly followed.

Mrs. Oboh explained that promotions in the council are done in accordance with the established positions approved for the council each year by the head of the civil service of the federation and these approvals are documented.

“To state the obvious, the Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria is placed on the Consolidated Research and other Allied Institution’s Salary Structure (CONRAISS) by the National Salaries and Wages Commission.

Under the structure, members of staff on CONRAISS 13 are designated chief officers or assistant directors as the case may be and the next salary grade level after CONRAISS 13 is CONRAISS 14 which is the deputy director position,” she added.

According to the council’s spokesperson, she holds a master’s degree in media arts and is a PhD candidate at the University of Abuja, affirming further that she has spent the required number of years in her former grade level and passed the promotion examination before being promoted.

APC govs endorse Bauchi ex-gov as ministerial nominee, says aide Samuel Luka, Bauchi

The immediate past Governor of Bauchi state, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has secured the backing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) state governors to be nominated for a ministerial appointment by the Buhari administration.

An aide to the former governor, Michael Damina, who disclosed this on Tuesday in an interview in Bauchi, pointed out that the APC governors have unanimously endorsed his principal for a ministerial position in President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term cabinet.

Reacting to a petition said to have been submitted to the Presidency against Abubakar’s ministerial nomination described the petition as “uncalled for and unpatriotic.

“It is APC governors that came together and said Abubakar, Bindow and Ambode, these three governors that lost out in

the 2019 general elections should be considered by the President because of their outstanding performances in their respective states.

“Some people don’t believe that Abubakar was performing because they had an agenda and he was not tailoring towards that agenda. He had his own agenda. I will stand by him until death do us part.”

While challenging the critics of the former governor, he added that “as far as I am concerned, Abubakar fought corruption in Bauchi state. Whether we like it or not, he performed. Until he left on May 29, there was no salary owed.

“No salary owed I repeat. When he was leaving, on May 28, he signed all the cheques for salaries that have not been paid to be paid. And today, somebody will say the man did not perform. Go to Katagum zone, go to local governments and see. He performed.”

The aide who called on people of

the state to be politically civilized by supporting politicians who excelled and shun politics of division, debunked claims by critics of the former governor that he is a non- indigene of the state.

“Abubakar was brought up, schooled and worked in different capacities in the state. He was a permanent secretary and he was solicitor general in Bauchi state, He was a commissioner in Bauchi state. He represented Bauchi state as a commissioner of INEC in Rivers state and many others.

“Where were those people when he was elected the governor of Bauchi state? Didn’t they know that he was a no indigene? Is it after he became a governor of Bauchi state that they knew that he is not an indigene of Bauchi state?” he asked.

Damina while expressing confidence that the former governor will represent Bauchi state in the federal cabinet maintained that “whether his critics like it or not by the grace of God, he will become a minister.”

Ihedioha visits community, condoles family of police fatal shooting Our reporter

Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo state has visited Umuoke Obowo in Obowo Local Government Area of Imo state following the killing of a 23 -year -old man by a police officer leading to angry youth setting a police station ablaze and freeing all the detainees.

After visiting the divisional police headquarters in Obowo which was set ablaze by the youth, the governor also paid a visit to the family of the late Ikenna in Umuebe, Umuoke Obowo.

While consoling the family, the governor assured that the trigger happy policeman will be brought to book. He charged the commissioner of police in the state to fish out the trigger-happy police man while urging the police to ensure that all those who took the laws into their

hands are apprehended.

He assured the deceased family that government will stand by them and support them at this trying period and prayed God to grant the soul of Ikenna eternal rest.

The governor was accompanied by the Deputy Governor, Gerald Irona, the Imo state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Ladodo, the Chairman Imo state Council of Tradition Rulers, Eze Samuel Agunwa Ohiri, the Special Adviser on Security, Raymond Nkemdirim among other government functionaries.

The governor’s Chief of Staff, Chief Chris Okewulonu and other leaders of the community were on hand to receive the governor.

Meanwhile, the Obowo Local Government Area Chairman, Jasper Chukwuemeka has assured the people that the police man who shot Ikenna will be brought to book, urging the people to return all looted properties

of the police, including guns taken from the burnt police station.

Our correspondent reports that the late Ikenna was said to have been gunned down by a police officer at Las Virgin Hotel, Umuokeh Obowo.

According to eyewitnesses who spoke exclusively to Daily Times, fracas started at the hotel a few minutes to 1pm on Monday between some boys who had issues among themselves, but the intervention of a police man who was called to settle the matter led to the police man shooting sporadically with the intention of scaring the warring factions resulting in a stray bullet hitting Ikenna on the chest.

Although, he was rushed to the hospital immediately, the man died before he could be attended to by doctors while the policeman took to his heels, forcing the villagers to deposit the corpse at the police station.

The Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU) worldwide has rejected in its totality, the federal government’s proposed Ruga settlement for herdsmen, describing the policy as a subtle attempt by the government to forcefully cede lands across the country to the Fulani people who constitute less than one per cent of Nigeria’s population.

A statement issued and signed by the UPU Publicity Secretary, Abel Osheviere, made available to journalists in Asaba states that the Buhari administration in insisting on going ahead with the unpopular policy, the federal government has openly demonstrated its insensitivity to the feelings and yearnings of other Nigerians.

He asserted that “it is most unreasonable, uncharitable, callous and unfair to impose a policy, no matter how good such a policy might be on the majority, just to satisfy the whims and caprices of a tiny minority.”

According to the union, it is indefensible for the government to remain bent on implementing a policy that has been stoutly rejected by every ethnic nationality in the country, adding that “are we a conquered people? Are we not in a free country and practising democracy where the will of the people should prevail?

“Let it be categorically stated that the Urhobo nation will never cede an inch of her territory to any stranger under any guise. As the fourth largest ethnic nationality in Nigeria, nobody can intimidate or compel us to give up our God-given land to any stranger against our will”

Crypto criminals will spend $1bn on dark web in 2019, says Report Ladesope Ladelokun with agency report Not less $1 billion will be spent in Bitcoin in illegal online marketplaces this year, according to a report by Chainalysis.

While the crypto community is excited about the possibility of wide adoption of Bitcoin, criminals have embarked on ceaseless spending of their coins on the dark web for buying drugs, child pornography, et al.

The report, according to the firm which helps companies such as cryptocurrency exchanges investigate and prevent illegal transactions show that the proportion of Bitcoin transactions dedicated to illegal purchases are declining, and about $515 million of the digital coin has already been spent this year on the dark web.

It further revealed that darknet spending in Bitcoin peaked in 2017, at $872 million, and declined last year as the coin’s price took a dramatic dive.

The findings are a reminder of the regulatory risks surrounding the digital tokens, which are beloved by criminals looking to preserve some degree of anonymity.

Last month, the Financial Action Task Force — an intergovernmental organization focused on combating money laundering and terrorist financing — began mandating strict knowyour-customer measures for crypto exchanges and custodians.

Also in June, Europol met with companies in the space to trade tips on best practices in detecting crypto-facilitated crime.

Of all the illegal online marketplaces, Hydra is the largest, according to Chainalysis, which examined transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain to see how much was being spent on these sites.

Drugs are the most prominent category of goods sold, but child porn and stolen credit-card information are also in demand, Chainalysis found.

Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency accepted on these marketplaces, followed by Monero, Chainalysis said.

While the growth in illicit Bitcoin spending maybe alarming, a major caveat is that the proportion of Bitcoin transactions tied to illicit deals is declining.

Illegal activity has accounted for less than 1 Bper cent of all Bitcoin activity so far this year — down from 7 per cent in 2012, according to Hannah Curtis, senior product manager of data at Chainalysis.

System Collapse: BEDC assures consumers on power supply Micheal Ajayi The Management of Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BDEC) has said that the fire incident which occurred on Sunday, Edo state has not affected the supply of electricity to its customers.

The inferno which raised at the premises of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) station in Benin according to BDEC was addressed with immediate alacrity.

a press statement issued on this development, stated that the TCN has been wheeling electricity to its feeders in all BEDC locations since the fire incident.

Tayo explained no specific location of the BEDC was affected in terms of power supply due to the fire incident.

According to him, “The fire incident it will be recalled initially caused a partial system collapse as the gutted TCN station is interconnected to other TCN locations across the country.

“However normalcy in terms of power supply

was restored later in the day as spirited efforts by stakeholders at the instance of BEDC yielded positive result as the fire was eventually put off the same day.

He commended customers for their understanding and cooperation over the fire incident.

Further adding that customers without power supply might be due to either load management schedule or local technical fault in their locations, among other sundry reasons.

“The company specifically commended some

of its strategic stakeholders and customers who responded to its clarion call for assistance during the inferno including, the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Nigerian Integrated Power Plant, Ogorode, Sapele, Delta State, the Sapele Power Station Fire Service, Edo State Government Fire Service and the Delta State Fire Service.

Stakeholder charges FG on development plan for MSMEs Motolani Oseni A Non-governmental Organisation (NGO), Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Economic Development Initiative (SEEDi) has urged the Federal Government to produce a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) a development plan in Nigeria.

The Lead Partner of SEEDi, Celestine Okeke, during the World MSMEs Day celebration stated that the plan would be of immense benefit to small businesses.

Okeke stated that the challenges

MSMEs face include unavailability of non-financial services, high cost of doing business, multiple taxation, stifling business ecosystem and reducing the purchasing power of the average Nigerian.

He said the MSME development plan being advocated for should take into consideration, the peculiarities of doing business for small businesses across sectors of the Nigerian economy, the challenges small businesses face, and more importantly, how to surmount them.

Okeke added that the government should without delay, direct its Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) saddled with the responsibilities of promoting

small businesses to begin the process of producing an MSME development plan.

“While we acknowledge and appreciate that small businesses need finance to sustain and or scale up their enterprises, we want to restate that the fundamentals of starting, sustaining and scaling up small business enterprises transcend beyond mere access to finance.

“As we mark World MSMEs Day, it is our hope that the present administration will take more interest in supporting MSMEs to thrive by improving the ecosystem they operate in, enable them to better their enterprises and then, support them to access finance after mastering the

act of business best practices,” he said.

The UN General Assembly declared the World MSMEs Day in recognition of the MSMEs in promoting innovation, creativity and decent work for all the achieving goals of 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It is pertinent to note that if the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Development Plan is drawn for MSME’s it will lead to growth and advancement in the MSME sector. This will, in turn, contribute to the economy in terms of output of goods and services as well as the creation of jobs at relatively low capital cost.

The Management of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has said that effort to improve the bulk supply of electricity to Ondo South and the entire Ondo State is in top gear.

Reacting to an advertorial published by Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, in a national daily newspaper on Sunday, 23rd June, the TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, said the 132kV Oshogbo – Ife – Ondo line which supplies bulk electricity to Ondo South has long span, which affects the voltage level by the time it gets to Ondo South.

“TCN assures the Governor and the other good people of Ondo State that TCN is committed to improving the bulk supply of electricity to Ondo South, the entire Ondo State and Nigeria generally.”

Recall, BEDC in the advertorial had said that the TCN has not been able to transmit adequate power to BEDC in Ondo State and especially in part of Ondo South due to its technical constraints which have led to the existing problem of none availability of power in these locations.

Mbah in a statement sent to Daily Times, explained that the line has been fully captured in the TCN’s flagship project: Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Program (TREP) for reconductoring and voltage boosting.

“The lining project is specifically part of the Nigerian Electricity Transmission Access Project, NETAP, which is being funded by the World Bank. Under NETAP, the existing 2 x 30MVA transformers would be upgraded to 2 x 60MVA brand new transformers to deliver more quality build power to Benin DisCo for the Ondo South communities. The procurement process for this project has commenced.

“The 30MVA transformer with breaker problem has been taken over by Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, for rehabilitation.

Findings from NDPHC indicate that the rehabilitation work has reached 70 per cent completion and would be completed and commissioned before the end of September 2019.”

In order to further improve bulk power supply to Ondo South, Mbah disclosed that there is a plan to construct a new 330kV quad line from Omotosho to Benin North and the Omotosho substation will be fully upgraded to 330/132/33kV Substation.

Speaking further, she said that though the 2 x 60MVA substation project in Okitipupa is being handled by Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), but due to the peculiar problem of Ondo South and on the order of the former Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde RajiFashola, TCN attempted to take over and complete the substation.

She revealed that TCN engineers visited the substation at Okitipupa and took inventory, but could not carry out the project as planned due to non-cooperation of NDDC. It would be recalled that TCN singlehandedly installed and commissioned the 1 x 60MVA 132/33kV substation in Akure on 20th August 2018, to boost bulk power supply in the state capital.

Oyo: ADC guber candidate, Lanlehin, withdraws from coalition with Makinde Stories by Patrick Okohue

Ikpeazu

APGA accuses Abia governor, Ikpeazu of looting state resources through LG The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has accused the Governor Okezie Ikpeazu-led government in the state of looting and fraudulently diverting public funds in the state, by using the newly-inaugurated 17 transition committee chairmen of the local government areas, as conduit pipe.

APGA, in a statement by its State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, claimed that the transition chairmen were allegedly recruited as stooges to criminally sustain what it termed as looting spree that had denied Abians and residents of the state to drive the developmental needs of the people in rural areas.

But in a swift reaction to inquiries by an online medium, the Abia state government dismissed APGA’s claims, saying that the claims were the cry of bad losers, they noted that, “APGA and its governorship candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, are bad losers. There is no iota of truth that the present Ikpeazuled government is using Transition Committee chairmen for the 17 local government areas of the state to milk the state.”

But, APGA insisted that the people of the state expected the governor and his government to initiate legitimate actions that would transparently instill proper utilization and deployment of local government allocations, remitted directly to the local government coffers, for purposes of driving development at the rural areas.

According to the party, “The reappointment of the immediate past TC Chairmen whom in Ikpeazu’s hollowed calculation, believed to have contributed to the massively flawed and disputatiously election returning him as governor, is to say the least, designed to extremely loot and divert Abia local government funds under

the guise of ‘security votes’ and phantom projects.

“This calls for serious concern; hence, it negates the whole essence of direct funding to the local government councils in the country. It is also disheartening upon remembering the past when local government councils meaningfully embarked on infrastructural and developmental projects, regularly paid salaries and veritably sustained micro and socio-economic programmes at the grassroots.

“The financial malfeasance as committed by the governor and his hirelings in government have hellishly deepened the sufferings of the people in all facets hence it reinforces government failures. The inherent danger is that the fact that local government workers will be perennially owed. Development will also remain a mirage in the local communities that populate Abia.

“Given the above scenario, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Abia State, wishes to invite the antigraft agencies especially the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to beam its searchlight on Abia council funds to henceforth monitor closely all financial activities in the 17 local government areas of Abia State.”

However, responding on behalf of the government, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Onyebuchi Ememanka dismissed APGA’s claims, describing it a mourning of a bad loser.

According to him, “APGA is crying woeful, because of its poor outing in the last election. Abia people rejected them and overwhelmingly, transparently reelected Governor Ikpeazu for a second term, so as to enable him consolidate the gains made so far, during his first term.”

The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the last election in Oyo State, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, has withdrawn from the agreement he and his party had to cooperate with Governor Seyi Makinde.

This is even as Makinde has vowed to shock his supporters and critics alike with his superlative performance within the first 100 of his administration.

Lanlehin and other governorship candidates in the state, including that of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Mr Sharafadeen Alli and Chief Bolaji Ayorinde of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) had formed an alliance with Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The parties had adopted Makinde as their governorship candidate against the candidate of the APC, Chief Bayo Adelabu.

But Lanlehin, in a statement by his media office Tuesday, said he was opting out because of Makinde’s noncompliance with the spirit and letters of the terms of agreement reached before the gubernatorial poll.

He however said his party, the ADC, is at liberty to remain in the coalition, and believes it should, in fact, remain.

The statement read: “Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Solan), Oyo State Leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) hereby announces forthwith, his personal withdrawal from the coalition he has with Engr.

Seyi Makinde, the Oyo State governor.

“Recall that Senator Lanlehin, former Oyo State gubernatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) joined forces with other opposition parties’ governorship candidates to back Makinde, and the gubernatorial victory was thereupon resounding.

“Lanlehin, who hinged his decision

Makinde to quit the coalition on what he termed Governor Makinde’s non compliance with the spirit and letters of the terms of the gubernatorial preelection agreement reached, however maintains that his party, the ADC is at liberty to remain in the coalition, and believes it should, in fact, remain.

“Lanlehin, going forward, states that while he remains a committed member of the ADC, he would adopt a ‘siddon look’ posture in the governance of Oyo State and allied matters.”

I a related development, Governor Seyi Makinde has said he is confident that his government would dwarf the returns of some past government’s eight year record.

The governor stated this while performing the swearing-in ceremony of the secretary to the government of the state, Mrs. Olubamiwo Adeosun .

The governor, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa told a packed audience made up of party leaders and officials of his administration that he picked Mrs. Adeosun as the Oyo government’s secretary, was not just because she is a woman but her competence and capabilities.

According to him, there is the usual divide between politicians

and technocrats in making such appointments.

His words: “Some people would argue that the best person for the job is a politician, who understands the terrain as they put it.

Others would say the engine room of government must be manned by a technocrat, who knows his or her onions.

“But I must state that we need a focused government which will deliver on its terms. We need capacity and lots of efficiencies and we need a packed personality who, in a way, encapsulates all of that.”

He further stated that he was convinced that Mrs Adeosun would bring to bear on the state her wealth of experience which is expected to lift the standard of service delivery and performance.

He added: “The essence of governance is service to the people, and I have no doubt that the new SSG will propel this government to expected cruising level such that the achievements we will be rolling out within the first 100 days would more than dwarf the meagre returns some of the past governments recorded even in eight years.

“Her profile speaks for her. She has been a well-trained pharmacist with capacities in different sectors of human and personnel development.

She has worked in our Nigerian terrain and abroad. She has a world view that would easily afford her the opportunity to make the difference on the job.”

He also stated that the appointment of Adeosun has highlighted his government’s statement that parents need to educate their wards, whether boy or girl and that there is no limit to the level an educated person can rise to.

While declaring that the appointment has showcased his government as women friendly, the governor said: “I have stated it clearly, we will not discriminate against anyone and we mean just that.”

INEC blames high number of inconclusive elections in Nigeria on insecurity Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mamood Yakubu has said that cases of the many inconclusive elections in most parts of Nigeria during the last general election was occasioned by the high level of insecurity that was witnessed.

The INEC boss is therefore calling for the immediate commencement of the prosecution of electoral offenders in the country

Yakubu is also advocating for a new and separate body to be established for the purpose of trying election offenders.

According to a report in another national newspaper, Yakubu made the disclosure during the commission’s meeting with security agencies that participated in the general elections.

It is learnt that the meeting between INEC and the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election

Security (ICCES) is in continuation of the review of the 2019 general election.

The INEC chairman asked the security agencies to commence immediate prosecution of all those who were arrested for electoral offences in the 2019 general polls.

Yakubu also promised to continue to advocate for the creation of a different organisation to deal with electoral offences.

20 Most Influential Politicians Muhammadu Buhari : An impeccable officer and democratic president desirous of taking Nigeria to the next level Stories Tunde Opalana, Abuja Muhammadu Buhari, the incumbent President of Nigeria is a man who has been in the public service at his youthful age but has not been satisfied by the standard of the Nigerian society, hence his continued quest for a better, just and corrupt free society.

A gentleman officer of the Nigerian Army trained at home and abroad, he in the past held many flagship pisitions in military administrations including being a military governor of defunct North Eastern State, a Federal Commissioner for Petroleum, member of the Supreme Military Council (the highest military command) and to cap it, a military Head of State.

His innate repugnance for corruption,impunity and social injustice always stand him out as a public officer.

The War Against Indiscipline policy of his military 30 months military administration with his able lieutenant, late Gen Tunde Idiagbon still lingers in the minds of many Nigerians.

Fresh in the mind of millions of Nigerians also is the fact that President Buhari rode to power in 2015 as a democratically elected president on the mantra of changing the social ills in the polity including corruption.

His resilience to ‘come and rescue the country’ saw him contesting for Presidency repeatedly in 2003, 2007 and 2011 before he eventually clinched the top job in 2015 In 2003 Buhari ran for president and was defeated by the incumbent, Olusegun Obasanjo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Buhari ran again in 2007 but was defeated by the PDP’s candidate, Umaru Yar’Adua, in an election that was strongly criticized by international observers as being marred by voting irregularities. Buhari also stood in the 2011 presidential election, which was praised for largely being transparent, free, and fair, but he again lost to the PDP’s candidate, incumbent Goodluck Jonathan.

In 2014 the All Progressives Congress (APC) party nominated Buhari to stand as its candidate in the 2015 presidential election. His reputation for being incorruptible and his military background made him an attractive candidate, whom many Nigerians hoped might be able to more effectively handle the threat posed by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram, whose violent acts had terrorized parts of the country in recent years.

The March 28 presidential election Buhari garnered the most votes—some 2.5 million more than Jonathan, his closest competitor—and was declared the winner. His win marked the first time that the incumbent president had been defeated in Nigeria. Buhari was inaugurated on May 29, 2015.

His presidency had a rough start, with the country falling into recession in 2016 in part because of declining revenue from oil sales. By 2018 there was evidence of some economic recovery from the recession, although many Nigerians were still living in extreme poverty.

The struggle with Boko Haram factions continued. While the military initially experienced success in curbing

the groups, the militants bounced back, and attacks escalated. Furthermore, Buhari’s government faced security threats in the southeastern part of the country from militants seeking to disrupt oil production as well as from Biafran secessionists.

His administration’s war on corruption was both praised for its progress and criticized for focusing more on political opponents than on allies.

Buhari was named the APC candidate for the February 2019 presidential election. Buhari faced more than 70 challengers in the election, which was originally scheduled to be held on February 16 but was delayed at the last minute until February 23. He emerged victorious, winning reelection with some 56 percent of the vote.

Born December 17, 1942 in Daura, present day Katsina State, Muhammadu Buhari was educated largely in Katsina.

He took military training in Kaduna as well as in Great Britain, India, and the United States.

He was involved in the military coup that ousted Yakubu Gowon in 1975 and was appointed military governor of North Eastern state (now Borno) that same year. He was appointed Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources by Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, who became military head of state when Gowon’s successor, Murtala Mohammed, was assassinated in 1976.

By 1977 Buhari had become the military secretary at Supreme Military Headquarters, which was the seat of government. By September 1979 he had returned to regular army duties and commanded a division based in Kaduna.

Although civilian government had returned to Nigeria in 1979 with the election of Shehu Shagari, dissatisfaction with dismal economic conditions and what the military perceived as corrupt politicians led to another military coup on December 31, 1983, and Buhari was chosen unanimously to be the new head of state.

Many of the economic problems that had existed under the Shagari administration also plagued the Buhari regime, and Buhari instituted austerity measures. He took a tough stance on corruption: during his tenure, hundreds of politicians and business officials were tried and convicted or awaited trial on corruption-related charges.

His regime launched the “War Against Indiscipline,” a program which sought to promote positive values in Nigerian society, although authoritarian methods were sometimes used in the program’s implementation. In an effort to stop dissent against his policies, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists.

Although many Nigerian citizens had initially welcomed Buhari’s efforts to root out corruption and improve societal values, the repressive measures employed by his regime, against a backdrop of continuing economic troubles, led to discontent.

By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and on August 27 Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.

Olusegun Obasanjo: The unavoidable political icon of Nigeria’s 4th Republic Chief Mathew Olusegun Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, a retired army General,former military head of state, farmer, pan-Africanist, international envoy, democratically elected president, now writer, elder statesman and theologist, is a personality highly respected beyond the shores of Africa.

He opened the new democratic chapter in the annals of Nigeria by being the first elected president at the inception of the fourth republic in 1999.

More than ten years after leaving office after his second term in office, Obasanjo remains a rallying point in the polity and became unavoidably necessary for public office seekers not only to consult but to get his endorsement.

At least, in fourteen of the sixteen years that his political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held sway, he was unarguably the ‘godfather’ whose words were authority. His actions and inactions became unconventional guide for his party and his opinions nearly became official pronouncement.

Obasanjo’s interest, it could be said, influenced the tide of two major elections in Nigeria, the 2015 and 2019 general elections.

Born in Abeokuta, south-west Nigeria on 5th of March 1937, he joined the army in 1958 and received training in Nigeria and abroad.

His military career included serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in the former Zaire and commanding the 3rd Marine Commando Division during Nigeria’s 30-month civil war (196770).

In 1975, he was appointed Works and Housing minister, later becoming Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters.

Following the assassination of General Murtala Muhammed, he became Nigeria’s military Head of State and served for three years between 1976 and 1979 He presided over Nigeria’s transition from military to democratic governance in 1979.

The elections was won by Alhaji Shehu Shagari of the National Party of Nigeria. In doing so, Obasanjo became Nigeria’s first military ruler to hand over power to a democratically elected civilian government.

In December 1983 when the Shagari administration was ousted from power, Obasanjo was critical of subsequent military regimes.

Obasanjo retired to his Otta farm home at Otta,where he continued to boost his international standing by writing books, joining the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group, founding the African Leaders Forum in 1988 and accepting places on numerous international commissions.

In 1991, he failed in his bid to become UN Secretary-General In 1995 he was tried for plotting coup against military leader, the late General Sani Abacha and sentenced to life in prison.

This was later commuted to 15 years after pressure from friends abroad, including South

Obasanjo Africa’s Nelson Mandela, former US President Jimmy Carter and former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt.

But in 1998 he was released from prison after Abacha’s death and returns to politics.

In 1999, Obasanjo won presidential elections on 27 February with 62 percent of the valid votes cast. His Party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), won about the same majority in the two houses of the National Assembly, state houses and the state legislature. Obasanjo’s main opponent, Olu Falae of the combined Alliance for Democracy / All People’s Party (AD/APP), challenged the result in court claiming that the PDP had bought votes, but lost.

His administration set Nigeria on the path of greatness again. He succeeded in winning at least some Western support for strengthening Nigeria’s nascent democracy.

Britain and the United States, in particular, were glad to have an African ally who was openly critical of the abuses committed in Robert Mugabe’sZimbabwe at a time when many other African nations (including South Africa) were taking a softer stance.

Obasanjo also won international praise for Nigeria’s role in crucial regional peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The international community was guided in its approach to Obasanjo in part by Nigeria’s status as one of the world’s 10 biggest oil exporters as well as by fears that, as the continent’s most populous nation, Nigerian internal divisions risked negatively affecting the entire continent.

He as well placed Nigeria on the path of economic growth and debt relief. Before Obasanjo’s administration, Nigeria’s GDP growth had been painfully slow since 1987, and only managed 3 percent between 1999/2000.

However, under Obasanjo, the growth rate doubled to 6 percent until he left office, helped in part by higher oil prices. Nigeria’s foreign reserves rose from $2 billion in 1999 to $43 billion on leaving office in 2007. He was able to secure debt pardons from the Paris and London club amounting to some $18 billion and paid another $18 billion to be debt free.

The naira exchange rate to the US dollar and other major currencies during this period was highly regulated and artificially high.

Nigerian importers paid local currency equivalent to the central bank through their local commercial banks.

Nigeria stopped accumulating short-term foreign trade payment arrears beginning from 1986.

His administration liberalised certain key sectors iof the nation’s economy, including the communication industry with the introduction of the GSM mobile communications system and opening up of the country to internet communications technology (ICT).

His administration brought about huge reformation to the public service as well as pension payment system.

After leaving office, he was deeply involved in the administration of the PDP. He became chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, with control over nominations for governmental positions and even policy and strategy.

He voluntarily resigned as the chairman board of trustees of the PDP in April, 2012. Afterwards, he withdrew from political activities with PDP. Obasanjo was appointed Special Envoy by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo. He held separate meetings with DRC President Joseph Kabila and rebel leader Laurent Nkunda.

During the Zimbabwean election of July 2013, Obasanjo headed a delegation of African Union election observers.

On May 2014, Obasanjo wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan requesting that he should mediate on behalf of the Nigerian government for the release of the Chibok girls held by the Boko Haram militants.

[On 16 February 2015, he quit the ruling party and directed a PDP ward leader to tear his membership card during a press conference.

[He was later to be known as the navigator of the newly formed opposition party, the APC. On 24 January 2018, he wrote serving President Muhammadu Buhari highlighting his areas of weakness and advising him not to run for office in 2019.[39] To date all his letters to incumbent presidents have preceded their downfall.

On 31 January 2018, his political movement called “Coalition for Nigeria Movement” (CNM) was launched in Abuja.

42,000 students write basic education certificate exam in Kaduna No fewer than 142,000 students in public and private Schools in Kaduna State on Tuesday began Basic Education Certificate Examination to qualify for senior secondary school education.

Malam Shehu Ibrahim, Permanent Secretary, Quality Assurance Authority, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) while monitoring the conduct of the examination in some schools in Kaduna metropolis.

Ibrahim also went round some the schools along with the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Director Public Schools and other directors and deputy directors of the ministry of education.

He explained that the Education Resource Department of the Quality Assurance Authority was responsible for planning, organising and conducting the examination at no charges to the students.

“The examination, which commenced

on July 2, will end on July 11, 2019.

“I really commend the state government for providing the necessary logistics needed for smooth conduct of the examination,” he said.

Ibrahim cautioned the students against examination malpractice and reminded them that only students that passed the examination would be admitted into Senior Secondary School.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs Kande Bage, assured the students of the state’s government commitment towards providing the needed facilities and infrastructure for effective teaching and learning.

Bage, who expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the examination, called on principals and teachers to ensure smooth conduct of the examination.

She added that the ministry officials

would be going round schools every day to monitor the exercise.

NAN reports that while at Government Junior Secondary School Independence way and Government Junior Secondary School Kakuri, the students were asked, “who wants to be a teacher” and only a few indicated interest.

Bage advised the students to admire the teaching profession, adding that there would be no education without teachers.

“I believe all of you will get married some day and have children, but since no one wants to become a teacher, where will you get teachers to teach your children.

“There will be no development without education and there will be no education without teachers.

“So, some of you must pick interest in the teaching profession, excel in it and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in your communities,” she said.

FUNAAB marks World Food Safety Day Esther Taiwo The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State, has joined stakeholders all over the world to mark and celebrate the maiden edition of World Food Safety Day, with an awareness rally.

Speaking at the occasion, the Project Leader and former Dean, College of Food Science and Human Ecology (COLFHEC), Professor Folake Henshaw, said the June 7, 2019 celebration was the inaugural celebration of the World Food Safety Day which is aimed to create awareness about the global concern of food safety.

She said the Addis Ababa Conference on International Food Safety Forum, with the theme “Transforming Knowledge into Actions for our Economy, for People and for Development was designed to put food safety into agriculture and development, adding that without food safety there is no food security.

Professor Henshaw highlighted the importance of celebrating the day in the university, saying that FUNAAB wants to contribute its quota to the Food Safety Initiative as a stakeholder by educating farmers, producers, processors and the private sector on the need for food safety because the slogan for the 2019 celebration is “Food Safety is Everybody’s Business”.

Her words: “FUNAAB is very critical in promoting food safety from farm to

fore. That is from where food is being produced until it is consumed. All of us as consumers should know that food safety begins from the farm, from production to consumption all through distribution, storage and processing.

Everybody must be conscious that we need to produce our foods safely so that at the end of the day, we can eat safe foods”.

The former Dean, COLFHEC stated that food safety is a global problem and not limited to developing countries alone, adding that statistics have shown that over 600m people die yearly from food borne diseases and 30% are children which necessitated the global action drive for all nations to develop and have better food safety management systems.

While confirming that the drive was a shared responsibility of all as consumers, she advised that “we must know healthy food choices, what you should do and how to make your food safe in your house”.

In his remark while declaring the rally open, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Felix Kolawole Salako, enjoined members of the University Community to imbibe the culture of food safety.

Represented by Deputy ViceChancellor (Development), Professor Lateef Sanni, the Vice-Chancellor decried the practice of adding herbicides on agricultural produce because it is hampering the nation’s export promotion initiative.

He charged farmers and practitioners

to desist from using negative application of chemicals that are not wholesome on commodities.

His words: “Allied to that is product adulteration. Our people bring in food products that are adulterated. Some produce from our retail shops have been waxed with dangerous chemicals that can cause cancer. These are the reasons that the World Food Safety Day was being celebrated to underscore the importance of safe food as a nation”.

The Vice-Chancellor urged all regulatory agencies like Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), National Agency for Food Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC) and Federal Ministry of Health (FMH) to stand up and do the needful to ensure that Nigerians have access to wholesome, safe, nutritious and sufficient food for the betterment of us all.

The United Nations (UN) had declared June 7 of every year as World Food Safety Day. According to the UN, more than 200 diseases are spread through food daily while 1 in every 10 people suffers from contaminated food yearly.

The global agency added that around 420,000 die, with 125,000 children under five years old due to eating contaminated food. It believes that everyone has the right to safe, nutritious and sufficient food hence instituted the day with the goal of eliminating hunger, ensuring good health and well-being and promote responsible consumption and production.

For emerging First and Second Best Graduating Students of the College of Vetrenary Medicine, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), the duo of Miss Popoola Deborah and Miss Kuye Anuoluwapo have secured immediate employment in a reputable Animal Hospital in Lagos.

Reward for academic excellence expressly came the way of Popoola and Kuye who topped the graduands’ exceptional performance list, when Dr. Tunji Nasir announced his employment of the duo.

Nasir is the Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director of Truthmiles Animal Hospital Limited, Lagos and President, Commonwealth Veterinary Association.

The renowned Veterinary Doctor said he decided to employ the duo as reward for their landmark and academic excellence and to boost the morale of those coming behind them.

Nasir disclosed that he had cultivated the habit of employing FUNAAB graduates because over the years they have added value to his hospital as thoroughbred veterinarians.

The immediate employment of Popoola and Kuye which threw the gathering into jubilation and sent their mouth wagging was witnessed by the representative of the Vice-Chancellor, the Deputy ViceChancellor, Academic, Prof. Morenike Dipeolu, Principal Officers of Veterinary Council of Nigeria (VCN) and Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association among others.

Speaking at the occasion, Vice-Chancellor of FUNAAB , Prof Kolawole Salako, stated that Veterinary Medicine has strong ethical values which the inductees must uphold, pointing out that the University has done its best to ensure that the inductees are well equipped to face challenges in the society.

Prof. Salako urged the graduates to be great ambassadors of the University wherever they find themselves, assuring that the University will always do the needful to ensure that College of Veterinary Medicine remains one of the best in the country.

The Guest Speaker, Dr. Tunji Nasir, CEO/Medical Director, Truthmiles Animal Hospital, Lagos, in a Paper titled, “Upholding the Veterinary Creed in a Challenging Economy,” described Veterinary Medicine as a noble profession, saying that they should not be afraid of the journey which seems so far at graduation but instead be proud to be Veterinary doctors, noting that while human Doctors deal with one specie, Veterinary Doctors deal with many species.

Dr. Nasir, who is also the Vice-President, Small Animal Veterinary Association of Nigeria, wondered whether the challenging economy will allow a young Veterinary Doctor to do the right thing, because, in taking this oath, they are confessing their sins and telling God that they are going to use the power being given to them well in order to uphold ethical standards and values.

He defined oath as “the traffic of soul, a law within a man, the seal of faith, the bond of every conscience, unto whom we set our thoughts like hands”, stressing that they must deploy their Scientific Knowledge and Professional skills for the benefit of the society.

In his Welcome Address, the Dean of the College, Professor Adebayo Akinloye, noted that the inductees were well-trained by highly professionals and are ready to face the challenging nature of our society.

He appreciated the University management for the continuous support given to the College.

Understanding Nigeria’s Monetary Policy

Times Guest Columnist

By Uddin Ifeanyi

Five years ago, on resuming his first term in office, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), delivered a “maiden address” that was much trailed because it appeared to conflate fiscal and monetary policies. Following what was a recent experiment with conducting monetary policy via a policy committee, and the guidance of members’ statements, the fear of a return to the days when the central bank was the source of (inflationary) ways and means advances to government was palpable.

Looking back now, and in a very qualified sense, the governor was probably ahead of his time. Today, the zero-lower bound in nominal interest rates against which central banks in the advanced economies struggle looks like a unique opportunity to take another look at central banks’ policy frameworks. Currently, the design of these frameworks has central banks focused on keeping inflation rates within politicallyacceptable bounds. And to ensure that central banks do not come under undue political pressure, most are granted both legal and operational independence.

But that was before the Great Recession, when central banks had to resort to unconventional policies to boost their different economies. For whatever they are worth, tools like quantitative easing and outright monetary transactions straddle the monetary and fiscal policy divide.

The challenge these tools pose for policy making is to find out what works, rather than test monetary policy for ideological purity.

Against the background of general price levels in the advanced economies remaining stuck to the floorboards, even as domestic output rises and labour markets tighten, this tension between functional policy responses and the precepts from the literature shows up again.

To take but one example off the ongoing debate over the direction of monetary policy, is there then a case for central banks’ policy frameworks transiting from targeting inflation to targeting nominal GDP? Given that what’s spent in an economy is the total that’s available, i.e. both from rising prices and economic growth, targeting price level changes alone was always going to result in a skew. This debate is on globally, and it matters that there is a local

take on these issues. It mattered, therefore, that the governor of the central bank was minded to share his reflection on the domestic monetary policy space as part of his commencement of his second term in office.

First the basics of the monetary policy conversation. According to experts on the matter, there are three goals that monetary policy, irrespective of the tools that it leans on, aims at: price stability, including financial stability as a condition precedent; the external accounts balance; and the pursuit of development and growth initiatives. Globally, the conversation around monetary policy has been spurred by how central banks have played with the third goal since the Great Recession.

How do we play locally? There’s much to cavil with in the paper Mr. Godwin Emefiele presented to mark the commencement of his second term in office. If the more than “60% drop in crude oil prices between 2014 and 2016…led to heightened inflationary pressures, depreciation of our exchange rate, significant drop in our external reserves, and eventually, a recession set in during the 2nd Quarter of 2016”, how much of the subsequent recovery in key economic measures was the result of the improvement in the global oil market? And how much was due to domestic policy responses?

And why do the quarterly output numbers for manufacturing not support the roseate optics from the purchasing managers index?

But, like I said, this is to nitpick. In truth, aside from the commitment to maintain a low inflation environment and keep the naira’s exchange rate stable, much of the governor’s address should have come from the office of the finance minister, especially the promise to boost the financing of the real sector of the economy.

Some have argued that a less than present exchequer supported much of the CBN’s intervention programme over the last four years.

But few will deny that coordination between the finance ministry and the central bank will matter even if the CBN were to remain a key player in the fiscal policy space.

Beyond that, though, there is the question of how well the CBN’s existing intervention strategies have turned out. Governance questions there are aplenty. But even these are besides the main point. Far more important are

the covenants around which the intervention strategies have been structured. How many of the beneficiaries of the interventions have kept up with those covenants?

To help answer this question, it helps to recall the antecedents of the intervention concept. The CBN began this process when the potential implosion of two banks, Intercontinental Bank and Oceanic Bank — with large exposures to key sectors of the economy, threatened the long-term health of those sectors. And the CBN intervened to put a floor beneath those sectors.

Thus, the interventions were not meant, in that first instance, to have carried on forever.

So, it’s important that even when the CBN is going to be part of a fiscal space, whose outlines, preferably, will be the result of work done by the Ministry of Finance in coordination with the Budget Office, the governance of these must favour transparency.

And no less crucially, will include sunset clauses for each benefitting sector. Accordingly, access to below-market funding costs must be only for the period of each beneficiary’s “infancy” — and this latter concept ought to be described as narrowly as possible.

After which these businesses must be able to avail themselves of loans at market rates.

Nonetheless, whereas it mattered that the Central Bank governor did not wait to coordinate his fiscal policy direction with the finance minister, the danger that his depiction of the CBN’s monetary policy trajectory is ex parte, as it were, is a much worrisome one. The whole point of the Monetary Policy Committee is to bring both depth and diverse perspectives to the design of monetary policy. And this is the reason the governor of the central bank has only one vote on the committee.

Nor is it immediately obvious which is the worst option: not consulting the monetary policy committee ahead of his speech; or committing monetary policy to a five-year plan horizon (reminiscent of the old Soviet Union), even when we are all agreed that monetary policy, more than most, suffers from the effect of both dynamic inconsistency and time inconsistency.

But then, in a world in which traditional boundaries blur daily, who is to say that the Central Bank of Nigeria’s heterodox options will not win in the end?

AFCON: Super Eagles yet to find rhythm – Mikel Obi An avalanche of criticism is only to be expected with Nigeria still battling to find their rhythm at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), team captain Mikel Obi said on Monday.

Following Sunday’s shock loss to Madagascar, the 2-0 defeat meant Nigeria was forced into second place in Group B. They can now be up against fellow heavyweights Ghana in the next round.

Madagascar’s victory was one of the great shocks in the tournament’s history and has not gone down well with Nigerian supporters.

“Obviously, the criticism will come from the people that we love. But this is football, you are going to get criticized. We have to take the criticism and improve,” Mikel said.

“We didn’t play well and I think that in the tournament so far we haven’t really found our way to play,” he added.

“But we’ve won two games and lost one now. It’s better this happened now than in the knockout stages. Now we know as a team we

have to improve, we have to do better.”

A defensive error allowed Madagascar to grab the early lead and a wicked deflection from a free kick gave them a second goal early in the second half.

But the Nigeria side had already secured qualification and were experimenting with their line-up “It’s normal to change the team as we were already qualified and we have 23 squad members and a lot of them deserved to play,” coach Gernot Rohr added. “`We wanted to give some rest to some of them since we had qualified before the game.

So, I think in the mind of some players, it was not so important to win.

“But (by) the beginning of the match, the gift for the first goal made Madagascar very strong.

I have to say they deserved the victory, with their counter-attack football and very good defensive organization.

“We couldn’t find solutions,” the coach said.

Madagascan fans party all night over Super Eagles defeat Strong indications abound that Barea of Madagascar will receive tumultuous reception when they return irrespective of what happens in the round of 16 or beyond.

The countries capital Antananarivo became a huge carnival as fans danced and sang in celebration of their team’s 2-0 defeat of Super Eagles on Sunday night. Local media reported that the concert of horns and whistles continued late into wee hours of Monday in several neighborhoods of the capital.

A jubilant crowd paced the streets with Malagasy flags.

Most fans summed up the three reasons for the celebration to include; making instant impact as debutants of the Nations cup, defeating what some dubbed “Almighty Super Eagles” and hitting the round of 16 as group leaders.

Permutations in the country say finishing as group leaders is beneficial and improves the

chances of Barea going further in the competition.

“This position will allow Madagascar to find a team supposedly less third place in another group in the final stages thus increasing the hope of going further” submitted one for the local reports.

Coach of the side Nicolas Dupuis who was appointed in 2017, had his contracted extended till after the

2019 Nations cup after he successfully qualified the team for the continental fiesta beating Equatorial Guinea 0–1 in last qualifier in Antananarivo.

An elated Dupuis expressed satisfaction with the performance of his boys.

“I am very proud of my players and I would like to congratulate them for this result. It was a job well done and this is a big victory for us.
