Heritage Bank, Afreximbank, Zamfara sign $1bn investment package for agric, solid minerals

Continued from page 1

Heritage Bank, Ifie Sekibo, stated that the win-win collaboration amongst the institutions would promote and fast-track support to help Zamfara explore its unharnessed resources for the benefit of its people and the nation’s economy.

According to him, this bold initiative would help unlock massive opportunities inherent in solid minerals and support efforts on local content promotion, facilitate industrial development and export development.

Sekibo, who was excited for Heritage Bank being involved in the partnership, said that “it is a game changer that will drive formidable economic growth for the state government, serve as backbone to the economy through job creation, as well a way of cushioning the present economic situation.”

President/Chairman, Board of Directors, Afreximbank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, said the bank was happy to be part of the partnership towards unlocking the abundant opportunities in the state.

He said: “We had a very fruitful meeting with the delegation from Zamfara State led by the governor.

In AfreximBank we are pleased that the leadership of Zamfara State has a clear vision. They have identified clearly the strengths of their state, the opportunities and what they need to unlock these opportunities.

“They have decided to take their own destiny in their

hands, which is actually the foundation of the federal structure that we operate in Nigeria, that states should do all they can to maximise the use of the resources they have for the benefit of their people, so that collectively, we can grow the economy of Nigeria to become more that it is today.

“We also discussed resources partnership in the area of agriculture and water to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities presented by the system in Zamfara State, not only to generate electricity, but also for agriculture, including other core production for export and consumption locally.

“We also discussed partnership to revive the cotton industry in Zamfara State. There is no reason why Zamfara State cannot produce cotton as Republic of Benin which is now the largest producer of cotton in Africa. We also discussed how to support Zamfara State with regards to animal husbandry and production of beef using modern facilities.

“So, altogether, the investments we have discussed which we prioritise based on the speed of having to get them done amounts to about $1 billion”.

Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, who commended Heritage Bank for facilitating the funds, noted that the discussion commenced barely two weeks ago in Dubai.

“We started this

discussion just about two weeks ago when we met with some Afreximbank people in Dubai with the managing director of Heritage Bank for which he promised to deliver our message to the bank. Within that week, he contacted him and the Afreximbank President decided to come to Nigeria.

“Zamfara State, as you are all aware had so many issues before my emergence as the governor, for which reason and to limited time, just a month, God helped us to tackle some of these issues.

“We have started that by engaging the bandits in peace which they have accepted to lay down their arms. As at today, Mr. President, we have secured the release of over 300 people that are under captivity.

The securing of the release of these people was done without any commitment; no single kobo or ransom was paid to the bandits.

“So we assure you that Zamfara State is safe for investors, they can come to the state. They can come to the state and the government is committed to making sure that everything is out in place to guarantee their security.

“We thank you for the investment of about $1 billion which can cover manufacturing, power, infrastructure, mining and agriculture.

We assure you that we have all the potentials to utilise the said funds in order to move Zamfara State forward,” he said.

INEC surprises election tribunal, relies on testimonies of Atiku’s witnesses Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Monday that it would not call any witness to defend the petition filed

by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate and the party.

Atiku and his party have challenged INEC, President Muhamadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the outcome of February 23, 2019 presidential election and the declaration of President Buhari as the winner.

They plaintiffs closed their case before the tribunal on July 19 after calling 62 witnesses and the tribunal had adjourned till Monday for INEC to open its defence.

But, when called upon by the Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Mohammed Garba to open its case on Monday, INEC’s lawyer, Yunus Usman (SAN), said it would not be necessary on the grounds that the evidence extracted from the petitioners’ witnesses during crossexamination was in support of the commission’s case.

“We have painstakingly reviewed the evidence of the petitioners’ witnesses.

We have also painstakingly studied the petitioners’ evidence under crossexamination, which supports our defence and our denial in consonance with our pleadings.

“My lords, we do not see the need to waste your lordship’s precious time by repeating what their witnesses have repeated under cross-examination.

In that circumstance, we

will not call any witness to help them prove their case.

We therefore, rely on the evidence of their witnesses under cross-examination.”

Responding, Buhari’s lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) requested to be allowed to open his client’s case at 2.00 pm on Tuesday.

Also, APC’s lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) said his decision on whether or not to call witnesses would depend on the case to be presented by Buhari’s legal team.

Counsel to the petitioners, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu(SAN), thanked INEC’s legal team for not calling witnesses, adding that “I profusely thank my brother and friend for deciding not to call any witness.”

Justice Garba consequently, adjourned till today, July 30 for Buhari to open his defence.

Ministerial screening: Harsh tax regime awaits wealthy Nigerians if… Aregbesola Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday, declared that a harsh tax regime awaits wealthy Nigerians should he be confirmed minister in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Aregbesola said this at the screening of ministerial nominees by the Senate while fielding questions on the effects of multiple taxes.

The former governor, who admitted that certain individuals and corporate organisations as well as business concerns in the country are undertaxed, said people should brace up to pay more tax into government coffers.

Reasoning that adequate and efficient tax regime should be a major contributor to revenue growth of any nation, he advocated for a just tax system that will make people pay taxes that are commensurate with their earnings.

Former governor of the State of Osun, who got a rousing welcome in the Senate chambers, reeled out his achievement as governor in the land of the virtue.

He said: “The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Human Development Index Report released in October 2018 shows that as at October 2010, Osun Poverty Index was 37.5%, but by 2016, Osun’s Poverty Index had crashed to 17.5%, the lowest in the country.

“Out of school Children reduced from 12.8% in 2011 to 10.5% in 2016 according to the UNICEF Multiple Indication Cluster Survey, 2016/2017.

According to the NBS report on JAMB Admissions, in the last 7 years, Osun has ranked top 3.”

On security, the former governor said Osun State recorded 0.94 crime incidence rate, being the lowest in the South West of the country.

Aregbesola also used the opportunity to explain to the Senate how his administration was able to weather the financial crisis that ravaged the nation which did not leave out his state.

“I must hasten to add that I and

my administration faced lots of criticisms while in government, partly due to ignorance and partly due to mischief. One interesting topic of misrepresentation is salary 7 pensions payment. Yet, while many states were unable to pay a penny to workers for many months, it was never so in Osun.

“What we did was to devise a method of modulated salary and pensions payment by which the most vulnerable workers earned their full pay. This applied to workers on Levels 1-7, who accounted for about 72% of the workforce. Those on Levels 8-12 earned 75% of their salary & pensions, while only those on Levels 13-17 earned 50%.

“I am happy to say that from July 2018, we commenced the payment of full salaries & pension to all workers before I left office and the practice continues till today. In 8 years, We received a total gross allocation plus IGR of N332,928,683,766.46, of which we paid Salaries, Pensions & Gratuities worth N209,375,950,193.71 representing 62.9% of our total earnings on personnel cost alone,” the former Osun State governor stated.

Responding, former governor of Imo and Senator Representing Imo West, Sen. Rochas Okorocha, eulogised the nominee, describing him as a man who used power for the good of the people.

In the same vein, Sen. Elisha Ishaku Abbo representing Adamawa North of the PDP gave a touching story of how Aregbesola had supported him in the past when he wanted to contest as chairman of his local government without knowing him from anywhere.

He therefore asked his colleagues to allow him bow and go whilst also imploring the president to give him a ‘big ministry’.

Also on Monday, Immediate past Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, blamed the paucity of funds for the slow pace in infrastructural development across the country.

Fashola, a ministerial nominee from Lagos State, highlighted his achievements in the ministry during the first term of Buhari administration while fielding questions at the Senate ministerial screening.

Aregbesola He said there is no state in the country where Federal Government is not executing at least one project, asserting that some key roads have not been rehabilitated because the Federal Government could not raise enough resources to rehabilitate or build new roads.

The nominee added that lack of sufficient funds forced the ministry to prioritise some roads/projects over others.

“There were never enough resources to fix Nigerian roads. During the past four years that I was a minister, there was never a year that the country did not have deficit budget. Nigeria has continued borrowing.

“It is obvious that we cannot attend to every request for infrastructure development across the country; what we need to do is to prioritise projects and there will be a deliberate equitable distribution of projects across all the zones and everyone will be happy.

“Let us prioritise; we cannot have everything that we want at the same time. There should be consensus on priority projects,” the ministerdesignate stated.

He advised lawmakers to collectively adopt priority projects to ensure swift delivery and further called for concerted efforts at institutionalising an

infrastructure development bond to the tune of N10 trillion.

Fashola suggested that the bond should be broken into smaller units to enable investors across economic status to invest.

While commending the Federal Government sukuk programme for infrastructure funding, he called for an expansion of the scheme.

Speaking on public- privatepartnership (PPP) arrangements for funding infrastructure, Fashola said it is an option but it is complex and takes time to negotiate due to certain administrative bottlenecks.

He also said that PPP arrangements are not is attractive for all projects, arguing that “the PPP arrangement is not healthy for social projects such as roads, schools and hospitals where there will not be expected yields on investment, compared to commercial projects.”

Answering questions on power, Fashola noted that since states are empowered by the law to generate and distribute power, the Ministry of Power ceased to be a major player in the sector, saying the ministry only deals with regulatory issues.

He said states can participate in power generation, transmission and

Gbajabiamila brokers truce between FG, resident doctors Henry Omunu, Abuja Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has brokered a truce between the Federal Government and the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) which saw the association extending the suspension of its planned strike action.

The speaker had last week through a member of the House appealed to the resident doctors to suspend the strike action, pending a meeting involving him, members of the association and officials of relevant Federal Government agencies.

At the meeting held on Monday at the National Assembly, Abuja, the speaker was able to convince both the association and officials of the Federal Ministry of Health to reach an agreement on how to settle the impasse.

President of NARD, Dr. Olusegun Olaopa, had informed the speaker and other principal officers of the House, including the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, that they had three major grievances against the Federal

Government.

The three grievances, he said, hads to do with their salary arrears, skipped salary of N23.6 billion and irregularities in the implementation of the Resident Doctors’ Act. However, Speaker Gbajabiamila was able to get a commitment from both the Federal Ministries of Finance and Health that the salary arrears would be ready for payment in the next three weeks.

While commiserating with the association for losing one of its members in the process of struggling to resolve the issues, Gbajabiamila added that “let me thank you for according this House and this institution the respect of putting your strike on hold.

“I want to assure you that the respect is mutual. We are here for you; we are here to protect you and in doing that we also protect our constituents.

When you talk about essential services, the most important is health services because you save lives. So, we know the consequences of your going on strike.

Since we all know the consequences, we should be serious about the issue.

“Ours is to appeal to you using the instrumentality of this House. The issue of your N3.5 billion, I can almost assure you that that will be resolved next month. There’s already machinery in motion to ensure that it is paid by next month.

“In the presence of everyone here, finance (ministry) is committing three weeks and you’ll get your pay. As a House, we’ll make sure we follow through. So, for the sake of lives, on that particular one, I beg you to tarry a while,” he pleaded.

On the Resident Doctors’ Act, the speaker said the House would do everything within its powers to ensure that the House Committee on Health provides effective oversight to the relevant agencies.

The speaker also assured that the House would ensure the inclusion of the N23.6 billion skipped salary due to the doctors in the 2020 budget, which is yet to be presented to the National Assembly.

“We’re going to put our reputation on the line and try to see how we can get the executive to bring whatever is

agreeable and due to them (NARD) into the budget. On our part, we will make sure that whatever is due to you forms part of the 2020 budget.

“But, I’m asking now that you should exercise some little patience to see what we can do on our own so that we can arrest this issue. For the sake of people out there, let’s hold on.‎ Once, the N3.5 billion is paid, you can take it from there that the 2020 budget will have the N23.6 billion,” he assured.

Responding, the NARD President, Dr. Olaopa said the association would wait for the three weeks, saying “we assure you that we will keep our part of the agreement.”

The meeting which lasted for close to two hours had in attendance the deputy speaker, House Leader, Rep. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Deputy Chief Whip, Rep. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha and other members of the House.

There were also officials from the Federal Ministries of Finance and Health, the Director-General, Budget Office, Ben Akabueze, members of NARD and the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) among others.

distribution in areas not connected to the national grid.

Speaking on procurement processes in project execution, Fashola said the nation’s procurement law is not compatible with the speed with which Nigerians want projects to be executed, lamenting that the law needs urgent amendment.

The former Osun State governor was the fourth ministerial nominee to be screened for the day. Others screened include Dr. Muhammad Mahmoud from Kaduna State who until his nomination was the chairman of the state’s Universal Basic Education Commission, Senator Gbemisola Saraki from Kwara State, Goddy Jedy Agba from Cross River State and Suleiman Adamu from Jigawa State.

Others were former Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama from Enugu State, Amb. Maryam Katagum from Bauchi State and Clement Anade Agba from Edo State.

The Senate will today screen the remaining three nominees.

Ogunleye was a true progressive, says Tinubu All Progressives Congress national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described the former deputy governor of Ogun State who died on Monday at 79 as a true progressive and an Afenifere to the core.

In a statement on the demise of Ogunleye by his Media Office signed by Tunde Rahman, Asiwaju Tinubu said: “The progressive family lost another of its foremost leaders today with the passing of former Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Alhaji Abdul Rafiu Ogunleye, at 79.

“Alhaji Ogunleye was an astute administrator, very principled politician and pure Afenifere. He played his part in the socio-economic and political development of Ogun State as deputy to former Governor Olusegun Osoba and made important contributions to the country particularly within the progressive camp.

“Before he became Ogun deputy governor in the early 1990s he was the state Auditor of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP). He was also Ogun State Chairman of the Alliance for Democracy, which he later left to become the National Financial Secretary of Action Congress before the party transformed into the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

“He was a committed party man who believes in party discipline and supremacy and believes that whatever the party says should be the overriding thing.

“Alhaji Ogunleye was one of us. He felt the ACN in Ogun was sidelined in the scheme of things in the build-up to the 2011 general election particularly in the choice of governorship candidate.

“Of course I spoke with him at the time and tried to convince him against leaving the party. But Baba was already committed to his course of action and was not ready to change his position. He returned to his natural home when he rejoined the progressives by pitching his tent with the APC after the 2015 elections.

“We pray that Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant his soul a peaceful repose in paradise. May He also comfort his family and all those he died left behind”.

Police rescue 7 kidnap victims in Ogun, arrest 40 suspects Abiodun Taiwo, Abeokuta

The Ogun State Police command on Monday said it has rescued the three staff of Lafia Hospital kidnapped few days ago at Ajebo area of the state on their way to Lagos.

The Police in a press release issued by the State Police command Public Relation Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said their rescue followed a report received on 23rd July 2019 about the kidnap of 3 staff of Lafia Hospital Apata Ibadan, adding that the Command deployed high power security operatives to the scene of the incident

with clear mandate to rescue the victims unhurt as well as bring the perpetrators to book.

The statement reads in part: “The team led by deputy commissioner of police in-charge of operations embarked on technical and forensic investigation as a result of which the kidnappers’ hideout was geo-located within Fidiwo/ Onigari forest along LagosIbadan express way.

“To compliment the efforts of the Command, the Inspector General of Police graciously sent a police helicopter with which the area viewed was properly surveyed.

“Having located the hoodlums’ hideout, the place was smoked through the chopper, which left the hoodlums with no other alternatives than to hurriedly push out their victims from captivity.

“It was there and then we discovered that apart from three persons abducted on the 23rd of July, another four persons were abducted on the 24th but not reported”.

“In all, seven victims were successfully rescued on the 27th of July 2019, and they have all been re-united with their families”.

“One suspect who is strongly believed to have taken part in the kidnap

saga was arrested and he is currently assisting the police in our investigation.

“To further rid the area of criminal activities, a comprehensive intelligence based raid was carried out in all the surrounding forests as well as the vulnerable points in the area where about 40 suspects were arrested with all sort of illicit drugs.

“They are all been investigated and whoever is culpable amongst them will be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction”.

“The Command will not rest in his oars in order to ensure that crime and criminality become things of the past in the Gateway State”.

INEC charts new course on information management reforms Tunde Opalana, Abuja

As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is determined to reform the electoral process ahead of future polls in the country, there is a need to chart a new course on information management.

This was as the commission acknowledged that part of the challenges it faced during the 2019 general election revolve around information management.

To this effect, INEC is presently harnessing the lessons from the 2019 general election and harvesting positive recommendations aimed at improving subsequent elections.

National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said this at the opening of a 4- day workshop on media monitoring for INEC publicity officers in Abuja on Monday.

The workshop is aimed at increasing understanding of new issues, challenges and possibilities in the media and how to harness such possibilities and arrest negative perception relating to the work of the commission and build a positive image for INEC and its work.

According to Okoye, challenges faced by INEC during the course of the 2019 elections “revolve around strategic communication. It revolved around managing public perception around the processes and procedures of the commission. It revolved around the calibre and knowledge of the staff saddled with managing its image and communicating

Lagos assembly probes N7bn cardio-renal equipment

To summon Gbagada General Hospital management

Alade Tasma, Lagos Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday moved to probe the abandonment of N7 billion cardiac renal facility centre at the Gbagada General Hospital.

This is sequel to the report read by the acting Chairman of the House Committee on Health, Akeem Sokunle.

Sokunle, in his report, stated that members of his committee had embarked on a tour to ascertain health facilities across the state, disclosing that “we observed that there is shortage of manpower, non-functioning ambulances, insecurity, unequipped laboratories and more importantly abandonment of multi- billion naira cardio- renal facility.”

According to him, most of the equipment in the hospital are not working, adding that he got report that the cardio renal machines only worked for two weeks before the facility was locked up and that most of the sensitive equipment are obsolete”.

Contributing to the debate, Tunde Buraimoh (Kosofe 2) expressed his displeasure at the development, saying that “it is disheartening that the investment of the state in the hospital is being abandoned. If these facilities are functioning, we would have saved many lives and reduced the constant medical tours to India.”

He pleaded that the committee be given authority to delve more into the matter

from the point of supply of equipment and how they stopped functioning.

Majority Leader of the House, Sanai Agunbiade (Ikorodu 1) said that if equipment of such magnitude is cited in the state of excellence, it is for a purpose and that it must not be allowed to waste.

He therefore, moved that the suppliers of the equipment be invited for questioning and that the investigation must attract public participation.

Sokunle thereafter, moved that the House should give the committee the power to invite officials of the Ministry of Health to appear before the committee to give clarification on issues bothering on the N7 billion cardio-renal equipment facility at Gbagada General Hospital.

Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, directed the Clerk of the House, Azeez Sanni, to write a letter to the Ministry of Health and invite the relevant stakeholders.

The Lagos State Cardiac and Renal Centre, Gbagada, a multi-billion naira health facility, is presumed to be one of the signature legacies of the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola, but allegedly neglected by his successor, Akinwunmi Ambode.

But, unlike others, the abandonment of this facility has come with a huge cost, especially with the rising statistics of Lagosians, and indeed Nigerians, who are battling with various cardiac and renal diseases.

Let EFCC screen ministerial nominees, PDP urges Senate L R: Coordinator Adviser and Electoral Administration Expert, Mr. Manji Wilson; National Commissioner INEC, Mr. Festus Okoye; and Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Independent National Electoral Commission, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, during a workshop on media monitoring for INEC Publicity Affairs Officers, in Abuja... on Monday ... Temitope Balogun to and with the public. It revolved around making information available to the media in real time to avoid speculation, rumour mongering and fake news”.

The commission, he said, has consistently tried its best to provide information to the media, has been upfront in media appearances and in some instances providing education on novel and unclear areas of the electoral process.

This, he said, demands that the spokespersons of the commission “must be conversant with the happening in the commission, must be conversant with its laws and procedures, must be conversant with its processes and procedures, must listen to the radio and the television, must read newspapers of different qualities and varieties.”

In addition, he said INEC information officers “must access the social media platforms and understand

the thinking of the different segments of the populace and their views about the electoral process, must decipher manipulated information from outright fake news, must understand when information is skewed and slanted to appeal to a constituency or achieve a particular result or outcome, must know when a report or opinion is based on outright ignorance.”

He said these must be turned into actionable recommendations for better image management and policy formulation and charged the information officers to improve upon their knowledge as knowledge is central to communication.

He said: “You cannot counter falsehood or fake news when you are bereft of knowledge. Some of our staff have modern communication gadgets in their offices and yet are not interested in them and hardly know how to operate

them.

“Some of our staff are availed with the constitution, the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended), the regulations and guidelines of the commission and other manuals and frameworks are yet to not make efforts to read and understand these documents.

“Society is dynamic and the laws must change and move with the dynamics of the society.”

The commission, he said, appreciates the collaborative partnership existing between it and the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) targeted at strengthening the processes of the commission, promoting Nigeria’s electoral process and deepening of her democracy.

He said the establishment of a world class media monitoring centre at the INEC headquarters is no doubt a testimony to this collaborative effort.

Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the Senate to further give credibility to its ministerial screening by sending the names of the nominees to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The party said the screening exercise must have enabled the Senate to further confirm that many of the nominees presented to it by President Muhammadu Buhari include individuals, who as former governors and ministers, wrecked their states and ministries and have serious allegations of corruption, abuse of office and stealing of public funds hanging on their necks.

Furthermore, the PDP noted that the nomination of persons with corruption badges to serve in the federal cabinet has overtly established the fact that President Buhari not only condones but also explicitly promotes corruption, which has escalated into a state art since he assumed office in 2015.

The party in a statement on Monday by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the call on the Senate is necessary as President Buhari had asserted that he would only nominate persons he knows “personally”.

The statement reads in part: “It therefore speaks volumes that the persons Mr. President “personally” knows and has nominated as ministers include such individuals that have been publicly indicted and known to be answering questions as accomplices in on-going corruption

cases in various courts.

“The PDP calls on the Senate to note that some of the nominees have failed to defend their corruption allegations. This includes a particular former minister from the North Central, who had admitted to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) of complicity in the N2.5 billion National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) fraud case, still pending in court.

“This is in addition to certain nominees who, as state governors, swindled their states, fleeced workers and committed several financial crimes for which they should rather be standing trial, instead of being rewarded with official protection as ministers.

“Our party notes that the gathering of corrupt persons as cabinet ministers is a clear pointer to a scheme by the cabal in the Presidency to further entrench corruption in our nation”.

Urging the Senate to take a cursory look into the allegations of bribe-forministerial-slot, making the rounds in the public space, the PDP said the Senate must rise to the occasion and ensure that Nigerians are not totally let down.”

The PDP also invited the Senate to note that President Buhari has not demonstrated any commitment to the fight against corruption and for that reason, Nigerians now look up to the National Assembly to protect the nation from the excesses of the Buhari Presidency.

It urged the Senate to stand with the people in resisting the manipulations of the Buhari Presidency to ensure that only persons with clean records are cleared as ministers.

Atiku canvasses appointment of Short News NAPTIP arrests pastor, 2 others for allegedly INEC boss, board by judiciary Calls for implementation of Uwais report, creation of election tribunal

Tunde Opalana, Abuja To achieve credibility in Nigeria’s electoral process, there is the need to take away the power to appoint the chairman and board members of the national electoral commission from the political appendage of an executive President and be vested in the judiciary.

This advocacy was made by the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also called for a holistic implementation of the National Electoral Reform Commission (NERC) headed by former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Mohammed Lawal Uwais if Nigeria is to attain credibility in its electoral process.

Atiku further advocated the creation of an Electoral Crimes Commission to adequately try all electoral offenders and to bring sanity into the nation’s electoral processes.

In a statement on Monday, Atiku said it was obvious that the 2019 elections were several steps down from the 2015 elections in terms of credibility and urged Nigerians not to underestimate his

recommendation which he said can make a big difference in the nation’s electoral processes.

He stated that “I have been pondering on the question, how Nigeria can have credible elections? Our electoral system needs not just to be brought up to date, by the acceptance of the amendments to the Electoral Act passed by the eight National Assembly, we also need to be up to tomorrow by taking steps today to ensure that the lapses that made it possible for the 2019 elections to be manipulated or rigged are addressed.

“One way of addressing these lapses is to implement the salient recommendations of the National Electoral Reform Committee (NERC) headed by former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Mohammed Lawal Uwais. The second is the creation of an Electoral Crimes Commission.

“One of such recommendations which will enhance the independence of the supposedly Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is the recommendation that the power to appoint the chairman and board of the INEC be taken away from the President and given to the judiciary.

“Of all the three arms of government, the judiciary is the least affected by elections; meaning that it has the highest objectivity in matters relating to the INEC. It is therefore, in the best position of the three arms to appoint a chairman and board members for the electoral body that are impartial, competent and patriotic.”

He pointed out that Nigeria needs a government that has a clear cut mandate before assuming governance to be able to surmount the myriads of socio- political and economic problems besetting the country.

“Nigeria today, faces a lot of challenges, chief of which are security and economic revival. To effectively tackle these problems, a government must have an honest and indisputable mandate.

“Where you have an administration whose mandate is considered tainted, such a government will lack sufficient moral authority to tackle the myriad of problems this great nation currently faces.

“I do not believe in blaming.

Leadership must be solution-oriented not blame focused. This is why I proffer this patriotic advice. Nigeria must be great again and all hands must be on deck to achieve that,” Atiku said.

raping orphan, 12

The Benin Zonal Command of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) says it has arrested a pastor and two others for allegedly raping and impregnating a 12-year-old orphan.

NAPTIP’s Zonal Commander, Nduka Nwanwenne, who disclosed this in Benin on Monday, said the pastor was of a popular church in Uromi in Esan North East Local Government Area.

Nwanwenne said the pastor, 30, a herbalist, 59 and another man, 30, were arrested by operatives of the zonal command for alleged repeated sexual abuse of the 12-yearold orphan.

He alleged that the three suspects at different times engaged in continuous sexual molestation, rape and defilement of the girl who is now five months pregnant.

The zonal commander said that the pregnant girl has been taken into NAPTIP’s custody, adding that the act started when the girl was eight-year -old.

Nwanwenne disclosed that the pastor had invited her to his house to help wash dishes with the approval of the victim’s mother who was alive at the time and a member of the church.

He noted that the pastor took advantage of his wife’s absence to rape the victim and that the victim was later taken away to stay with the second suspect, a native doctor who was a guardian to her.

The zonal commander alleged that the guardian repeatedly raped the victim in his bedroom and added that the herbalist blamed his act on frustration and drunkenness.

According to him, the victim was later rescued by her aunt who enrolled her in a school.

“The third suspect, a farmer who usually performs odd jobs in a restaurant owned by the victim’s uncle, molested and raped her. One similarity among the three suspects is that they all admitted to the crime. However, the victim claimed that it was the last suspect that impregnated her.

“All the suspects are in NAPTIP’s custody while investigation was being concluded for their arraignment,” he said.

Supreme Court dismisses suit challenging Zulum’s nomination

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a suit filed by Alhaji Mustapha Shehuri challenging the nomination of Governor Babagana Zulum by the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the governorship candidate for the 2019 general elections.

Justice Mary Odili, in a lead judgment held that the case was statute barred and therefore, dismissed the motion on notice brought by Shehuri.

“This appeal is hereby dismissed haven been withdrawn by the counsel to the appellant without any objection and there shall be no order as to cost,” Justice Odili ruled.

Shehuri, the immediate past minister of state for power, works and housing was challenging the candidature of the governor-elect in a pre-election matter and had asked the apex court to upturn the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Jos. Counsel to the appellant, Obuju Onojah, prayed the court to set aside the decision of the appeal court and look at the merit of the case and give its judgement.

“The crux of our appeal is the failure of the lower and Appeal Court to recognise the issues raised in our suit before it and went ahead to dismiss the suit on the ground that it was filed outside the 14 -day grace as contained in the Electoral Act,’’ Onojah said.

Responding, counsel to the respondents, Yusuf Ali (SAN) objected to the appeal, which he said has no substance having failed at the Appeal Court for challenging the decision of the APC out of the 14-day-grace.

Court reserves ruling on El-Zakzaky’s bail till August 5 Andrew Orolua, Abuja Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna state High Court on Monday reserved ruling on the bail application brought

by Ibraheem El- Zakzaky and his wife Zinat seeking permission to travel abroad for medical treatment to August 5.

El-Zakzaky, leader of the proscribed Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) is seeking to go to Medanta Hospital, New Delhi, India, for medical attention following his failing health while in custody since 2015.

El -Zakzaky in the bail application said he and his wife would return to Nigeria as soon as they are discharged.

Justice Khobo reserved ruling after hearing the arguments of Femi Falana (SAN), who argued the bail application and the Kaduna state Director of Public prosecution, Dari Bayero, who urged the court to refuse the application.

Bayero said that his team had examined the eight medical reports

by both Nigerian and foreign doctors that accompanied the IMN leader’s application, arguing that there are several medical facilities in the country that can handle the medical needs of the IMN leader and his wife.

While moving the application, counsel to the applicants, Femi Falana (SAN), told the court that his clients, El -Zakzaky and wife Zinat, were in dire need of medical attention.

Falana said that his clients had not been given adequate medical care since their detention on December 14, 2015. He expressed concerns over the continued deteriorating condition of his client’s health, who he said had already lost an eye and about to also lose the second one if nothing is done.

According to him, pellets of bullets are still in his client’s body since 2015 and need to be removed.

Falana explained that the IMN leader was not in court because his health was “very bad,” noting that even during the last appearance, he could not climb the staircase to the court room.

“That is why we applied that he be excused from appearance in court and it was granted. The pellets have resulted to lead poisoning and need to be urgently removed by highly professional medical personnel,” Falana said.

It will be recalled, that Justice Khobo had granted the request of the Kaduna state government to review and respond to El - Zakzaky’s bail application.

The IMN leader is standing trial over allegations of culpable homicide, unlawful assembly and disruption of public peace, among other charges in another court headed by Justice Gideon Kurada.

The case was adjourned indefinitely on April 25 to enable the judge serve on the panel of the National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal in Yobe state.

Before the indefinite adjournment, the court had on January 22 ordered the Kaduna state government to avail the IMN leader and his wife, Zinat access to medical care.

Hepatitis: WHO urges African leaders to invest in public health Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that investing in public health is crucial in eliminating viral hepatitis B and C in Africa.

The WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti therefore, called on Nigeria amongst other African countries to redouble its budgetary allocation to meet up with the global target of eliminating hepatitis by 2030.

In a message to mark the 2019 World hepatitis day, Dr. Moeti, who was represented by the WHO Officer- in -Charge in Nigeria, Clement Peters called on African leaders to ensure that hepatitis B vaccination is available for all newborns.

He also urged them to strengthen the health sector by ensuring that hepatitis interventions are integrated as part of the health system.

She disclosed that the WHO’s first hepatitis scorecard to track progress across the region has shown that the highest burden of hepatitis B infection in children under five years was seen in countries without hepatitis B birth-dose vaccination in combination with sub-optimal coverage under 90 per cent of the childhood pentavalent vaccine.

The scorecard, which she said was developed in June 2019 revealed that testing and treatment as a public health approach remains the most neglected aspect confronting the hepatitis response.

She commended Rwanda and Uganda for providing free access to hepatitis testing and treatment and further called on relevant partners and pharmaceutical companies to consider a reduction in the cost of hepatitis B and C diagnostics and medicines to ensure more persons have access to timely treatment.

“Despite the availability of diagnostic tools and effective treatment, less than one in 10 of the 71 million people with hepatitis B or C in Africa have access to testing and over 200, 000 die each year due to complications like end-stage liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. ‘’Today, I call on member states to invest in a public health approach towards elimination of viral hepatitis B and C in Africa. Countries should invest in hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns and integrate hepatitis interventions as part of health system strengthening. This includes building on existing laboratory capacities for HIV and TB, embedding hepatitis surveillance in the national health information system and securing supplies of affordable medicines and diagnostics.

Shi’ites: Another murderous beat may join the blood splash in the land

Ademola Orunbon

The incessant deadly clashes between government troops, police force and Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), known as Shi’ite Muslim have raised fears that another conflict is about to get out of hand in the country. Even the civil society is calling on the central government not to repeat past mistakes, because police itself not doing the right thing to suppress the issue. Police duty is to maintain law and order and protect lives and properties, especially in discharging their duty, the legislature and the Judiciary have always provided enabling laws for the discharge of this onerous duty.

However, recently the table has turned, the table turned because events have shown that there is a conspiracy to emasculate the police to the advantage of law breakers. After all, before now, for a group of people to embark on any procession that is likely to affect the freedom and business of members of the public, they must apply to the police to enable the police plan, monitor and prevent hoodlums from hijacking such protests.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s government stands accused of abusing human rights and oppressing a minority group after clashes every now and then, especially between the Shi’ite group and the government, in which scores of people were killed including a Channel journalist, Precious Owolabi and deputy Commissioner of Police, Usman Umar. The Nigeria’s main Shi’ite problem is continuing detention of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky and shooting and killing many of their members by the police force in the process of calling on goverment to free their leader, who has been in detention since December 2015 is uncalled for.

Violence broke out when soldiers at a military checkpoint prevented the procession from entering Abuja to mark Arbaeen which occurs forty days after the Day Of ASHURA, a day of mourning for Shi’ites. In the past, the event has often ended in clashes owing

to intervention by security forces. The march now is protest, not just a religious rite, since it was also meant to pressure authorities to release the Shi’ite Cleric, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.

The founder and leader of Islamic Movement Of Nigeria (IMN), which has been in jail since December 2015. At that time, security forces killed more than 300 adherents of the movement in the so called Zaria massacre in Kaduna state.

Till date, causes of the conflict between the Shi’ites and government could not be ascertained, the IMN and the army were given conflicting accounts about what happened exactly on the 12 December, 2015, though, an army statement alleged that IMN members, on the order of El-Zakzak‎y attempted to assassinate the army Chief, General Tukur Buratai, en route to a military ceremony in the city of Zaria. The statement said hundreds of armed sect members barricades General Buratai’s way, spurned warnings to disperse, then started pelting his convoy with dangerous objects. It said troops responsible for the army chief’s safety had to protect him by clearing the barricades forcefully, but did so in accordance with the army’s rules of engagement and code of conduct.

Nigeria’s Moslems are mainly Sunnites and there was no real voice for the Shi’ite until IMN was founded in the 1980s by El-Zakzaky. Then, the movement grew out of student enthusiasm for the Iranian revolution. The number of Shi’ites in the country now is estimated at three million, a number big enough to scare the central government. These Shi’ites ideology is in opposition of what the establishment follows, which Saudi Arabian Wahabism. And the IMN has a lot of followers in the north.

That’s more reasons the government need to take the bull by the horn, otherwise, we are entering another Boko Haram in the making in this country.

The sect, in a few weeks ago, invaded the National Assembly where they reportedly

attacked the security official on duty. Indeed, two of the sect members were then said to have been shoot in their legs, but they burnt down three cars and vandalised other property during incident. It is now imperative for the government to focus more resources and attention on fighting the BOKO Haram terrorists rather than turning their guns on unarmed peaceful citizens they are obliged to protect. The IMN are now gradually becoming a terrorist group with their actions and deeds.

The central government need to release their leader, his wife and other members of Shi’ites in various detentions to allow peace to reign in the country.

Nigerians all over the country are increasingly worried that the IMN could turn into a second Boko Haram. Though the movement itself denies any plans to take up arms. IMN spokesman, Ibrahim Musa has said it before now, rejecting analogies between his movement and Boko Haram. He further stated that the Islamic Movement is guided by and led by the principle of Islam, and Islam is a religion of peace. And perhaps, only calls on people to understand it, that it doesn’t force people to follow it doctrines and ideologies.

Indeed, the movement fundamentally believes and proclaims that “there is no government except that of Islam”. The founder and leader Ibraheem El-Zakyzay who, since the early 1980s, has called for Islamic revolution to create an Islamic state in Nigeria, an end to Western influence in the country and the stringent adoption of Islamic legal principles and systems. The movement is very critical of norther Nigeria’s traditional religious and political elite, including the Sunnis who are the majority of the country’s Muslim population. No statistics are available, but Shi’ites are thought to make up just 2 or 3 percent of Nigeria’s population 178 million people. Present in small numbers in Nigeria for a long time, Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution inspired strong growth in the

Shi’ite community and persuaded its leaders to challenge traditional and secular Muslim authorities more vigorously.

We should be recalled that BOKO Haram also started as a non-violent groups that now turned deadly after its leader, Muhammad Yusuf, was killed by the police in 2009. And since then, the central authorities have learned nothing from what happened in the north east. Instead of listening to these people and trying to address their problems, they come up and start shooting people, and radicalising the group will only lead to more violence and aggravate their militancy, maiming and killing of people including the military forces.

However, it has now come to a stage where dialogue alone will not be enough to solve a problem which has international dimension and undertones. I have no doubts that Saudi Arabia and Iran are engaged in a proxy war in Northern Nigeria, as they are in Yemen. That is why we also have to rely on international action, likes the U. S, the British, the French and other leading powers in the world. Though, the government, especially the police too have their own share of the blame on the anomalies and incessant protest of those Shi’ites as they failed to salvage the situation. Sometimes if prudence and foresight is not employed in legislation, we end up creating more problems for the society than the mischief we hope to cure.

For me, responsibility lies primarily with the Nigerian government. The government must follow the rule of law and comply with Court ruling, that ordered the El-Zakzay and his wife’s release. The Cleric, who is in his mid-sixties has lost the sight in one eye during the 2015 clashes, and has only been seen in public twice to thrice since he was detained by the Department of Security Services (DSS), what are they doing in the custody of DSS four years ago, after he has being granted bail by two to three separate courts of the country.

He and his wife are said to be in poor health.

Trump’s Neo-American fascism is close to the tipping point

Chinemelu Nwokike

As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash. ~ Harper Lee Donald Trump’s style and leadership will remain a thesis objective for scholars long after he has left the stage. A few months before he shocked the world with a victory over Hilary Clinton to become the 45th President of the United States, I had read a report of Trump’s response to the tragic massacre in Orlando by Omar Mateen, the radical son of a Muslim refugee.

Candidate Trump in his usual manner had condemned the political left while standing in solidarity with the LGBT community.

He warned about the dire threat of radical Islam, and further reiterated his initial call for a blanket ban of Muslim immigrants.

He said, “When I’m elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.

After a full, long overdue security assessment we will develop a responsible immigration policy that serves the interests and values of America.”

After two and a half years in the saddle, Trump has shown no intention of throttling down. Rather he has continued to ramp up the ante with a barrage of unhinged typo infested twitter rants and gusty excoriation of enemies and even allies. Hardly will a day pass by without an offensive statement coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

His recent attack on four congresswomen of colour has been widely condemned and quite rightly so. But like I keep saying, POTUS 45 is a lot smarter than many people think. This new manoeuvre appears to be a well thought out campaign strategy to put the democrats in a spot because his words cannot legally be labelled racist. This perhaps explains why the impeachment motion by Rep. Al Green was roundly defeated by a 332–

95 vote. Whatsmore if some equally offensive utterances attributed to those four have been applauded by the same section of the media why would they now be irked?

Some would argue that whatever xenophobic statements credited to the ‘squad’ — as they are now known — cannot possibly have the same impact since they are not in the white house but together these four congresswomen command an increasing number of followers that could significantly affect the outcome of the 2020 race. And Donald Trump knows this. However, the truth is that his latest pastime, though a political scheme is not a new phenomenon.

It brings with it a nauseous reminiscence of a past when America built different types of walls in a bid to preserve the warped hallucination of white supremacy as I will illustrate presently.

Besides the fact that the initial US Congress started work in 1790 by restricting eligibility for naturalisation to the freeborn and the white, immigrants were still pouring into the country for much of the nineteenth century.

However, at the peak of the immigration boom in 1921, a certain Calvin Coolidge penned an article which suggested that the teeming number of immigrants was an impediment to national development. Citing elite scientific scholars from the Ivy League, Coolidge who will later become the country’s Vice President argued that “biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend” and that “the dead weight of alien accretion stifles national progress”.

Together with some leading academics, the new Vice President sought to rationalise ethnically based racism by propagating the theory that certain immigrant races were biologically immune to diseases that would normally harm others. Asians were especially targeted. Italians, Slavics and even Jews were not spared as media editorials and op-eds ran savage pieces disparaging them as “Asiatic hordes and swines living in vast masses of filth that would kill a white man”.

It didn’t take long for Congress to acquiesce and subsequently the Johnson-

Reed Act which is perhaps the harshest immigration law in US history was passed.

And just like Trump’s recent Muslim ban, immigrants were shut out of America based on their origin. Ever since then racist scholars have deployed dubious anthropology and questionable theories to propound the genetic superiority of the so-called ‘Great Race’.

So you see, for the uninitiated, Trump’s political foray into neo American fascism may be as offensive as his wall and immigration policies are unpleasant but they are not dystopian actions that Americans and indeed the world are witnessing for the first time from Washington DC. For all its glittering immigration record, American history is dotted with unsavoury expositions of xenophobic assaults on immigrants, and oftentimes these attacks have been driven by race-based nativism.

But then the racists never had a free ride.

They have always met a more than capable opposition in the liberals and a robust pushback from Americans both white and coloured. Together these groups struggled and made sacrifices through the civil rights movement that culminated in the passage of several laws in the 1960s. Of particular note is the 1965 Immigration And Nationality Act which abrogated the use of national origin quotas thereby ensuring that the country’s immigration policies made it stronger in diversity as some of the following facts from a recent article in Time Magazine disclose.

In the US, 1 in 4 tech companies established from 1995–2005 had an immigrant as either the founder, president, CEO or CTO. Over 70% of the tech workers employed in Silicon Valley are immigrants and over 60% of the 25 biggest US tech companies were founded by immigrants.

Apple’s Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian immigrant and Google’s Sergey Brin is a Russian immigrant who first stepped on US soil with his parents at the tender age of six.

In 2017, Fortune listed 500 companies, 43% of which were founded by immigrants and these companies employ over 12m people globally.

These and many others attest to the truth that America’s global dominance was achieved through an ingenious immigration system that often imported the best talents from every corner of the earth. Surprisingly, America is currently led by a POTUS who labels immigrants murderers, criminals and terrorists thereby lending credence to the outlandish conspiracy theory that the country’s perceived enemies seek to destroy her not with bombs but through a gradual and articulate decimation of her greatest ideology.

Personally, I am a Trump fan. I love and enjoy the spectacle he produces daily, his “carrot and stick” approach to international conflicts and his willingness to get along with perceived enemies like China and Russia. I also understand that he is playing politics to win reelection as evident in his late show to impress black voters on the A$AP Rocky saga. And quite frankly he is likely to be re-elected given that his base remains intact according to the polls, but his incendiary and racially charged rhetoric will further polarise the US into multiracial Democrats and white Republicans. Already the world has seen his Muslim ban, ICE raids and lately a Supreme Court ruling funding for his coveted wall come to fruition. Who knows what will come next?

In the quest to retain power the Republicans may be unwilling to condemn Trump’s nativism now but they should know that the tipping point is nigh. The white supremacists and their flock are roundly outnumbered. And now that the suburban moderates who were key to the 2018 takeover of the House, more blacks, and other people of colour are joining the resistance against blatant racism, there can be only one winner. For a country with such a rich cultural heritage, America has long moved past that nonsensical ‘white man’s country’. Bringing it back now is only a political aberration which may have benefited Donald Trump but will ultimately prove to be a pyrrhic victory for the Grand Old Party.

Auto crash kills 2, injures 10 others in Bauchi Samuel Luka, Bauchi A ghastly motor accident which occurred at Tashan Mai Alewa Village along the Bauchi-Dass Road in Bauchi state has killed two people while living 10 others injured, an official of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has said.

Ibrahim Abubakar, who is the Deputy Corps Commander and Head of Operations, Bauchi Sector Command confirmed the incident on Monday while speaking to newsmen in the state.

He said that the accident which was caused by over -speeding occurred at about 3.30pm on Saturday involving three vehicles, a Mercedes Benz with registration number BAU 172 GC and two Sharon commercial vehicles of which one had the registration number WKB 374 XA. “On Saturday, July 27, 2019 at about 3.30pm, we got a call that there was an accident at Tashan Mai alewa, along Bauchi-Dass Road.

Our men rushed to the scene for rescue.

“The accident involved three vehicles, a Mercedes Benz and two Sharon commercial vehicles,” Abubakar explained.

He added that “the accident was caused by excessive speeding and that day, rain fell heavily, so the Mercedes Benz and one of the Sharon collided and the second

Sharon came and ran into the two vehicles that had the accident.

“Twelve people were involved in the crash, 10 male adults, one male child and one female adult. Our men rushed them to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi for medical attention.”

He added that they were rushed to the hospital in two ambulances, but “unfortunately, two of the male adults were confirmed dead by a medical doctor while the remaining 10 sustained injuries.”

Abubakar advised motorists and other road users to be more cautious while driving on the highways, especially during the rainy season.

He warned drivers to not only be cautious while driving, but always remember that they are carrying human beings and their lives depend on them.

Abubakar, who reminded drivers to drive with extra -care, urged them to make sure that their tyres are not old, but new and to ensure that their brakes is working effectively.

“If these are observed by motorists, most of the frequent accidents on our highways will be drastically reduced to the barest minimum,” he stated.

Abubakar, who warned that any driver caught violating traffic regulations will be prosecuted in accordance with the laws,‎ added that “we are always on the road and we will not spare traffic rules offenders.”

TCN suspends Port-Harcourt DisCo from electricity market The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has suspended and disconnected Port-Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) from the electricity market.

The suspension order was posted on TCN’s twitter handle @TCN _ Nigeria on Monday, adding that the suspension took effect from Sunday.

TCN said that the suspension order followed default by PHDC in the Market Conditions/Market Participation Agreements.

Also, the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO)

is currently on suspension and has also been disconnected from the electricity market.

The power distribution company was suspended on July 21.

In the last few weeks, similar suspension and disconnection orders have been issued against Kano, Enugu, Eko and Ikeja DISCOs over the same allegations of infraction of market rules.

TCN has however, lifted the suspension on Enugu, Eko and Ikeja DISCOs after they complied with the market conditions/participation agreement.

Our POSITION Autonomy: The challenge before the legislature, Judiciary The Fourth Alteration to the 1999 Nigerian Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (as amended) gave autonomy to the state legislature and Judiciary in a bill signed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The amendment specifically meant the granting of financial autonomy and independence to Houses of Assembly and judiciary in the states. Hitherto, the funds allocated to them from the Federation Account go through the State Governments most of whom don’t transmit same to them. The law in essence, permits the funds due to the judiciary to be paid directly to the judiciary of those states, no more through the governors .

“And the funds standing in the credit of the Houses of Assembly in the states are now to be paid directly to the Houses of Assembly of the states for the benefit of the legislators and the management of the Houses of Assembly.”

It is unfortunate that since June last year when the bill was assented to, the law was not allowed to operate in the spirit and wordings it was meant to serve, due mainly to the awesome influences of State executive governors.

While commending the State governors’ pledge last week to implement full autonomy for state legislatures and the judiciary, it is essential to observe that it will strengthen democracy in the states. It will also promote accountability and transparency in governance.

Needless, however, to state that we abhor the roles played by the State governors in the last one year when this law was put in abeyance.

Now, that the new law will be made to operate with the support of State governors, we expect the State’s Legislature and Judiciary to demonstrate sense of maturity, prudence and accountability in the management of funds that will be allotted to them. Nothing short of this will be justified in the eye of the members of the public who have in the last decade craved for the independence of Judiciary and State Houses of Assembly.

It is important to sound note of warning that the electorate who are distressed by the unjustifiable bogus salaries and allowances of national lawmakers will not welcome such unwholesome practices at the state level.

On the part of the States’ Judiciary, it is an opportunity for the heads of Court in the States, indeed the judges to allay the fears of State governors that even without a string of financial control over them attached, they can deliver justice.

Financial autonomy to the States Judiciary should therefore not be harmed by reckless spending and fraudulent financial malpractices by the judiciary officials. Attempt to engage on such reckless spending would further put the Judiciary into public disrepute and loss of confidence.

In conclusion, we plead with the states governors to stand by their words of promise and to allow the autonomy granted by the Fourth Alteration to the Constitution to the State Legislatures and Judiciary to operate. After all, they have sworn to uphold the Constitution.

NAFDAC seeks partnership with media to tackle fake drugs Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has sought the collaborative effort of the media in Nigeria to tackle fake drugs and substandard products, saying the agency cannot do it all alone.

Speaking while playing host to the executive of the Association of Nigeria Health Journalists (ANHEJ), led by its President, Hassan Zaggi in Abuja on Monday, NAFDAC Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye lamented that many Nigerians have in the past suffered permanent injury while others lost their lives due to lack of drug control.

She said that her agency has discovered that some Nigerians add dye to palm oil to make it reddish, lamenting that the trend if not controlled will destroy the kidneys of consumers of such unwholesome product.

While expressing optimism that NAFDAC will soon overcome all its challenges, Prof. Adeyeye added that with the support of the media, Nigerians will take precaution of the development.

“Those who are faking drugs and palm oil that we use by adding dye to it are unaware of the fact that it can damage the kidney. This is not just NAFDAC’s problem, it is the media problem also because we are in it together,’’ Prof. Adeyeye said.

She disclosed that when she came of the chief executive of the agency, NAFDAC was in a sorry state as most of the equipment was dilapidated and the agency was in huge debt.

Earlier, the President of the Association of Nigeria Health Journalists, Hassan Zaggi, applauded the reforms currently being initiated by the agency, pledging that the media would continue to work closely with NAFDAC to ensure that Nigerians get the needed information to safeguard their health.

Miyetti-Allah embraces peace, dialogue in Zamfara, says govt The Zamfara state government has commended the Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) for embracing the peace and reconciliation programme initiated by the state government.

The initiative was introduced by the state government to end banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the state and was later adopted by the Sokoto state government as a strategy to restore normalcy and rescue kidnap victims.

Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Bala Bello, made the commendation while receiving the state officials of MACBAN who paid him a courtesy visit on Monday in Gusau.

A statement issued to newsmen by the Press Secretary to the SSG, Malam Idris Salisu, quoted Bello as saying that the state government is making tremendous efforts to ensure the success of the peace dialogue.

He said the programme has already started yielding fruitful results “as even

people from outside Zamfara state are calling to rejoice with us on the current peace and stability that the state is witnessing.

“The present administration in this state led by Gov. Bello Matawallen-Maradun is highly committed to free the state from armed banditry, cattle rustling and kidnapping bedevilling the state.

“Lack of consultations and contacts on the true situation of insecurity in the state had earlier made the state critically ill until the present government came and initiated the peace initiative which has started yielding fruitful results.”

According to the SSG, the governor had visited President Muhammadu Buhari, the inspector general of police, chiefs of army and air staff to get their support on and commitment to how to end the menace of insecurity in the state.

He noted that within 57 days of the peace dialogue, several bandit commanders, members of civilian JTF popular known as “Yansakai” and the vigilante groups across

the state agreed to embrace peace.

“As a result of this development, attacks and kidnapping have stopped across the state. It also led to the release of over 300 captives by the bandits and kidnappers voluntarily without demanding ransom,” the SSG said.

While thanking MACBAN leaders for the visit, he appealed for continued support and cooperation with government in restoring peace and stability in the state.

“I am calling on you to continue enlightening your members to embrace peace,” he added.

Earlier, the state Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Ardo Nakura, said they visited the SSG to congratulate him on his appointment and register their support to the peace initiative by the state government.

Nakura described the project as a welcome development and pledged MACBAN’s readiness to cooperate with government to ensure that peace returns to the state.

Our reporter The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says Nigerians should allow the federal government handle the issues relating to the proscription of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) rather than raising alarm prematurely.

MURIC position was contained in a statement made available to the media by its Director, (Human Rights), Prof. Ishaq Akintola on Monday.

According to MURIC, while it supports dialogue between the government and the Muslim community in finding an amicable settlement to the current face-off, it has however being availed with more revealing facts about the true state of affairs in the last 48 hours.

“For example, at least two Muslim neighbours of the Shiites came out openly and in writing to reveal stunning incidents of the use of violence by the group. Their experiences date back to the 90s.

“A major Islamic organisation which is based in the North, the Jamaatu Ikhmad al-Bid’ah wa Ihyais-Sunnah (JIBWIS) also issued a strong statement calling on the federal government not to handle the Shiites with soft gloves. Most importantly, the testimonies have revealed a dangerous Shiite principle of non-recognition of either the federal or state governments.

“Based on these new developments, we have no other choice than to call on Nigerians to allow the federal government to handle the situation, particularly in the face of large scale insecurity in the country.

“The federal government has been accused of the inability to rein in the general state of insecurity in the country. Some have accused it of failure to take decisive actions to stem the tide.

“MURIC considers the proscription of IMN as a decisive and necessary action. Nigerians who sincerely want to see peace and stability must therefore, give the government a free hand on this.

Boko Haram would not have festered so badly had former President Goodluck Jonathan taken action when he should.

Okowa dares labour to proffer solutions to nation’s challenges Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Beyond agitating for the welfare of workers, Delta state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has urged the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to also proffer solutions to challenges facing the country.

Gov. Okowa made the call on Monday in Asaba when the President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba led members of the union to pay him a congratulatory visit.

He stated that “Nigeria is in such a state that we need the cooperation of all to be able to succeed and I think that when we get into national discourse, it is important for us to think nationally and to be able to offer our ideas to government.

“I also believe that no one person has all the answers; there is a lot that the workers can actually bring to the table when it concerns national development, so, I want to plead that in the course of your engagement with government, beyond the issues of workers welfare, it is necessary to talk about Nigeria and its economy.

“It is important to offer solutions as to what

you think can be done to make this country better because it is our responsibility, our contributions and prayers that will help grow this nation far beyond where it is today.

“No matter what the challenges we may be facing as a country, I still see a bright future for our nation and it is going to involve the collective will of all Nigerians to decide that we need to stay committed to this nation and to do our best to make this nation great.”

The governor who commended the NLC for the visit, attributed most of the successes recorded by his administration to the cooperation of Deltans and the organized labour, stating that “our workers have done a lot for us; I cannot ask for a greater partnership because I believe that they are partnering with us in all aspect of governance and I am truly proud of them.

“I always tell them (workers) that the fact that you are partners and sitting down to talk with government does not take anything away from you. Rather, it helps to provide even more help because if there is openness, there will be understanding.

“Sometimes, changes do not occur immediately, but we can always think together

and structure the implementation of whatever needs to be done and that helps in bettering the governance of the state and it also, helps to improve communication between the government and workers, and vice versa.”

He took time to enumerate some of the achievements of his administration and what has spurred him in taking some actions, asserting that his administration will at all times take decisions that will be of benefit to all Deltans and humanity.

Earlier, the President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba had said the visit was necessary because of the friendly disposition of Gov. Okowa to issues concerning workers.

“I have a lot on record to justify my statement that you (Gov. Okowa) run a labour-friendly government; your leadership has proven that where there is the will, God will prepare the way.

“You have ensured prompt payment of salaries, the contributory health insurance scheme which has made healthcare facilities available to workers, provision of houses for workers and taking care of the needs of pensioners, among numerous others are worthy of commendation,” Comrade Wabba said.

Short News Kogi APC guber aspirant favours adoption of direct primary Idris Ahmed, Lokoja A governorship aspirant in Kogi state on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Admiral Usman Jibrin (rtd) has appealed to the national working committee of the party to adopt the direct method of selecting its flag -bearer for the November election.

Addressing a mammoth crowd of party supporters at the weekend at Ayingba, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi state where he formally declared his intention to run for the governorship election, Adminiral Jibrin noted that using the indirect primary method will not be fair to other aspirants.

He explained that hundreds of political office holders slated to vote during the primary if the indirect primary was adopted by the party were appointed by the governor who is equally an aspirant.

“If fairness equality and justice is still the policy of our great party, the APC, a level playing ground should be employed by adopting the direct method for the selection of the standard bearer,” the aspirant advised.

On his ambition to govern the state, the former chief of naval staff said that the pinnacle of development of a state depends on the leadership which it has, an ingredient he asserted is grossly lacking in Kogi state and promising to provide a more purposeful and focused governance to the state.

Jibrin reminded the people that “the creation of Kogi state was to address the total neglect suffered by the people of the old Kabba Province and it is regrettable that all the efforts of some of the past leaders geared towards moving the state forward have been criminally thwarted by those who accidentally found themselves in power today.”

He therefore, gave a post -humour commendation to late Prince Abubakar Audu, whom he described as a pacesetter and a political icon who is yet to be equalled by those that have succeeded him.

“He gave pride to Kogi state; he made it what it is today. Today, I want to inherit Prince Abubakar Audu’s legacies,” he added.

Fayemi challenges state varsity to carry out medical research Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti The Governor of Ekiti state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has said the new set of doctors produced by the Ekiti state University College of Medicine would boost the healthcare policy of his government.

The governor charged the college to expand the scope of its research work not only to record more breakthroughs in the medical field, but for the placement of state university on web metric ranking.

Fayemi spoke on Monday during the maiden induction ceremony of 43 first set of doctors produced by the institution after 10 years of rigorous academic exercise.

He expressed happiness about the outstanding performances of the doctors in their final examinations, saying that “I was reliably told that the inductees recorded 100 per cent in their examinations with a distinction in their MBBS examinations .

“The first executive governor of this state, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo started the idea of a college of medicine for the university in 2001.

But, in 2004, it came to an abrupt end because the

government then didn’t believe the state could fund a medical college at that time.

“But, in 2008, Segun Oni started the process of re-establishing the college and I want to thank Oni for signing the bill that re-established the college into law. Medical education is held in high esteem all over the world and this is expected because it touches on the lives of human beings. I am convinced that these new doctors will contribute to our healthcare policy.

“Ekiti state is ready to employ as many as possible among them that are ready to work in the state. We are committed to more robust healthcare coverage for pregnant women and children below five and the vulnerable, who could have been shut out of quality medicare due to inabilities to afford the bills.

“I want to commend you for your perseverance, resilience, commitment, hard work and you must know that medical education is continuous.

Also, you have to be good ambassadors of the university and the state.

“I want to also charge the management of the university to ensure prudent use of resources available and embark on more research works

for favourable rating of this university on web metric ranking.”

Also speaking, the acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olubunmi Ajayi, said when the university was at a crossroad, especially when funding became an albatross, Gov. Fayemi came to the rescue, adding that “if not for this intervention, this epoch- making event could not have been possible.

“Even the wife of the governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi paid the tuition fees of some of these doctors when finance was becoming a problem.”

Registrar of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCAN), Dr. T.A. Sanusi, administered the oath on the new doctors, warning that whoever flouts the rules guiding the medical profession will be sanctioned.

The Provost, College of Medicine, Prof.

Kehinde Oluwadiya, said the doctors have received the best of training and this he said accounts for the 100 per cent pass recorded in the final examinations with a distinction in surgery.

At the occasion, Dr. Bankole Emmanuel emerged the best graduating student with distinction in surgery and clinical pathology.

Authority of the Delta state Polytechnic, Oghara in Ethiope West Local Government Area of the state has suspended four students who were allegedly caught with firearms last Sunday.

A statement signed by the polytechnic’s Registrar, Dr. Benson Omonode, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Asaba on Monday, stated that the students have been suspended indefinitely from the institution.

The statement named the affected students as Chucks Chukwudi (mechanical engineering); Kingsley Oghenevo (electrical engineering); Michael Sogbe (industrial maintenance engineering) and Ejiro Oghenevo (business dministration and management), adding that the four students were caught with guns by security agents.

It was gathered that the suspects currently in police net at the headquarters of the state police command were arrested during a routine stop and search operation by the police following intelligence gathering in Oghara Community.

But, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Onome Onovughkpoyaga, who confirmed the arrest of the students, disclosed that they were arrested by the anti-crime patrol team attached to Oghara Police Division, adding that upon being searched by the officers, they recovered arms from the students.

“The police are investigating the source of the arms and they are being detained at the state CID for further investigation,” DSP Onome Onovughkpoyaga disclosed.

Sources said that the police in Oghara had earlier this year arrested some persons who claimed to be students of the same polytechnic with arms after they allegedly robbed a prominent businessman in the area.

S’Court affirms Nnaman’s election, dismisses Nnaji’s appeal Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Supreme Court in a unanimous judgment on Monday dismissed the suit filed by Senator Gilbert Nnaji, who was seeking to disqualify the former Governor of Enugu state, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani representing Enugu East Senatorial District from contesting the February 23 general elections.

The apex court observed that the suit which brought about the appeal from the Court of Appeal, Enugu to the Supreme Court was statute barred, for the fact that the plaintiff filed it outside the 14 days prescribed by the constitution.

Based on the court’s observation, Sen. Nnaji’s lawyer orally applied to withdraw the appeal and his application was granted.

Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mary Odili held that the suit was statute barred, adding that since the appellant has withdrawn the suit the motion on notice should also be dismissed.

“This appeal is hereby dismissed having been withdrawn by the counsel to the appellant without any objection and there shall be no order as to costs,” Justice Odili ordered.

The Court of Appeal, Enugu had in June this year dismissed Sen. Nnaji’s appeal challenging the clearance of Sen. Chimaroke to contest the Enugu East Senatorial District primary by the PDP. The Appeal Court dismissed his case for lacking in merit.

It would be recalled that the applicant had in October 2018 approached an Abuja Federal High Court, asking that his name

be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the PDP candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District.

He went to court claiming that Sen. Nnamani was not present during the screening of aspirants by the PDP and as such was not qualified to stand for the primary election.

He further claimed that having come second in the election he was the rightful candidate.

The case was later transferred to Enugu on the orders of the chief judge of the Federal High Court.

Sen. Nnamani’s counsel in his defence among other things, told the court that the suit was statute barred and argued that the course of action should have arisen after the PDP screening which the plaintiff (Nnaji) claimed his client (Nnamani) did not attend.

Short News Group backs ex-naval chief for Kogi APC governorship ticket Tunde Opalana, Abuja As more aspirants join the governorship race of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state, a group of stakeholders under the umbrella of the APC Justice Forum/Buhari Support Groups has expressed support for Vice Admiral Jibrin Usman (rtd) to pick the party’s ticket.

The group said the former chief of naval staff stands out as the most preferred among the 27 aspirants contending for the APC ticket based on his acceptability across the state.

Speaking at Anyigba in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi state, the Chairman of the group, Dr. Yakubu Ugwolawo said that the former naval chief has the capacity to curtail insecurity and bring his contacts and network to bear on governance in the state.

He said that Usman established two naval outposts in Kogi state when he was chief of naval staff, adding that if he becomes the governor, he would understand how to curtail insecurity.

Expressing fears that insurgency would spring from Kogi state if nothing was done to curtail it now, the group believes that the state needs somebody with military background to attain peace.

Ugolawo said that “let me sound this warning that Kogi state is FCT’s next door neighbour and insecurity may assume a new dimension anytime soon. The state needs a man with military background to check insecurity.

“It will amount to suicide to politicize insecurity in the state.

Those contesting to govern the state should spare us of the insecurity phenomenon in the state so that we can confront this matter sincerely by looking out for somebody that has the capacity.”

Mark mediating Plateau PDP crisis, says party stalwart Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), North Central Zone, Theophilus Shan says that the former Senate President, David Mark is mediating the lingering leadership crisis rocking the Plateau state chapter of the PDP. Shan said Sen. Mark is meeting with the state PDP stakeholders in Abuja, since majority of the parties to the dispute are based in Abuja.

Our correspondent recalls that the state working committee of the party had passed a vote of no confidence on the state Chairman, Damishi Sango and the Deputy Chairman, Amos Gombi for allegedly diverting presidential campaign funds and showing disrespect to elders of the party.

Speaking to journalists in Jos, Shan disclosed that a committee has been set up under the chairmanship of Sen. Mark with the mandate to wade into the party’s leadership tussle in Plateau state.

According to him, he had arrived Jos a week ago ahead of the reconciliation

committee’s visit, only for thugs suspected to have been hired by the embattled chairman prevented him from gaining access into the party’s state secretariat until the intervention of the police.

“You are all aware of the crisis in the Plateau state chapter. It started few months ago. The national secretariat is also aware too. I have been here before, owing to the coming of the committee constituted by the national secretariat in respect of the crisis.

“I am not here in support of any of the factions. I am here for the party.

Secondly, I am not a member of the committee, but I am here to ensure that the committee gets a conducive working atmosphere.

“I came in last week and I had peaceful meetings, but only this morning I started hearing of moves to stop me from gaining access into the secretariat. I never thought it could be Sango that was going to engineer it, but I was wrong.

“This morning, I saw youth who are thugs, who claimed that Sango had instructed them that others and I should not be allowed to gain access into the

office. At the end of the day, we went to the Plateau state police headquarters.

“It is a fact that I had earlier intimated the police of why I had come to the state, but from the development we are expected to go back to the police. What everybody must understand is that the chairman has not been removed yet.

“The committee would be here to investigate all the allegations so far raised. The party has a grievance settling procedure and this step shows that the removal process has just started,” Shan said.

The vice chairman also said that the terms of reference of the Sen. Mark’s committee is to investigate and find out the reason for the friction among members of the state working committee, find out the mistrust between the state working committee and major stakeholders of the party.

He added that the panel will also investigate the disbursement of funds and election finances for the presidential and governorship elections, and to find out why the party lost the governorship election in the state which the party was optimistic of winning.

A Nigerian, Stephen Obasaju has petitioned the President of Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS, Justice Edward Asante over his unlawful dismissal from the court.

Obasaju, who was employed by the court on August 27, 2018 as an executive assistant was sacked on July 15, 2019 following a request by a Nigerian judge at the court, Justice Dupe Atoki.

In a letter of termination of appointment dated July 15, 2019 and signed by the President of the court, Justice Asante, the court said his dismissal was upon a request by Justice Atoki, who he was an executive assistant to over reasons relating to irreconcilable differences.

But, in a letter dated July 17, 2019 and addressed to the president of the ECOWAS Commission, Obasaju, described his dismissal as unlawful because it did not follow the ECOWAS staff regulations on staff disciplinary procedures.

He however, pleaded with the president of the court to give a directive that the laid down disciplinary procedure be followed in his matter in the interest of justice.

The letter reads in part: “I respectfully bring to your attention the flawed procedure contrary to the ECOWAS staff regulations which led to the unlawful termination of my contract of employment as an executive assistant to the Nigerian judge at the ECOWAS Court of Justice, Abuja.

“My supervisor at the court, Justice Dupe Atoki initiated my termination of appointment on July 3, 2019 after spending over nine months in the employment of the court without any violation of the staff rules and I was rushed through a procedure that did not follow the disciplinary rules laid down in the ECOWAS staff regulations.

Group urges Obaseki to probe Oshiomhole’s administration Titus Akhigbe, Benin Leaders of the All Progressives Congress Party (APC) in Oredo ward 2, Benin, at the weekend called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fire that razed down the state Ministry of Education in June 2013.

Leader of the group, Baba Franco made the call while briefing newsmen in Benin.

Franco said the call became necessary following the inability of the former governor to set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the cause of the fire which happened during his administration, saying that “on June 12, 2013, we woke up to the strange news that about 20 office apartments had been razed down by fire at the Ministry of Education.

“We were informed that it is where records are kept; specifically, primary school leaving certificates as well as teachers training grade two certificates belonging to the defunct Midwest, then Bendel state, now Edo and Delta states.

“It was however, quite a coincidence that this unprecedented act of arson happened just after the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alleged the forgery of the primary school certificate against the former governor.

“As expansive and connected as the Ministry of Education is, the fire chose to start and end in the section where such records are kept.

According to the commissioner then, the records lost also included recent primary and secondary school certificates which all went up in flames.”

He noted that six years after the fire incident, nothing has been heard from the panel that was set up and therefore, appealed to Gov. Obaseki to set up a committee to investigate and unravel the arsonist(s) that did the heinous act

FG tasks stakeholders on elimination of child labour

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo (2nd right ) delivering a keynote address at the Symposium for the commemoration of the 2019 World Day Against Child Labour, Country Director, International Labour Organization (ILO), Dennis Zulu (2nd left); representative of Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel, Ime Ekrikpo (left), and Director, Inspectorate, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mrs. Amahian Jegbefumen, in Abuja.

Operate within established rules, FG charges public servants The Federal government has called on Public Servants to always operate within the country’s system of laws, rules and regulations, in order to deliver quality and timely service to the public.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo, made the call in Abuja while inaugurating the reconstituted Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU) of the Ministry.

He noted that the ACTU is established in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), through the directives of the Federal Government, to conduct preliminary investigation, review corruption-prone operational

system, educate and enlighten staff on issues related to corruption, as well as monitor budget implementation in the Ministry.

The Permanent Secretary urged the ACTU Committee members to rise up to the challenge of being in the vanguard of fight against corruption, and reminded them that “the fight against corruption is the integral part of the crusade for national rebirth, social inclusion and regeneration.”

Alo charged the members to be vigilant in discharging their duties, and also operate by the rules and regulations for which the Unit was established.

He stated that the only way to guarantee effective service delivery is working in accordance with rules and regulations.

Speaking earlier, Director, Special

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has unanimously adopted a resolution declaring 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour, and has asked the International Labour Organization to take the lead in its implementation.

The resolution highlights the member States’ commitments “to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.”

The UNGA acknowledged the importance of the ILO’s Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) and the Convention on the Worst Forms of Child Labour, 1999 (No. 182) – which is close to universal ratification by the ILO’s 187 member States – as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

It also recognized the importance of “revitalized global partnerships to

ensure the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the implementation of the goals and targets related to the elimination of child labour.”

Argentina took a lead role in advocating for this global commitment, as a follow up to the IV Global Conference on the Sustained Eradication of Child Labour, which took place in Buenos Aires in November 2017. Seventy-eight countries co-sponsored the resolution.

“We hope that this will be one more step to redouble our efforts and our progress to advance, day by day, towards a world in which no child is subjected to child labour or exploitation and a world where decent work for all will be a reality,” said Martin Garcia Moritán, Argentina’s representative to the UN. The ILO has been working for the abolition of child labour throughout its 100 year-history, and one of the first Conventions it adopted was on Minimum Age in Industry (No. 5, 1919).

The organization is a partner in

Duties/Projects in the Ministry, Dr Martina Nwordu, stated that according to the directives of the Federal Government on the establishment of ACTU, the Unit would operate as an independent body and would only report to the Chief Executive of the organisation.

She noted that the Ministry’s ACTU was being reconstituted because most members had either retired or had been posted out.

In a remark, the Chairman of the Unit, Kehinde Akinlolu Adeniyi, on behalf of the members, appreciated the opportunity given them to serve, and promised they would carry out their duties conscientiously.

The reconstituted ACTU is made up of seven members, with Kehinde Akinlolu Adeniyi as chairman, and Obiageli Abigail Ogbonna, as secretary.

ILO declares 2021 international year for elimination of Child Labour

Alliance 8.7 and serves as the secretariat of this global partnership for eradicating forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking and child labour around the world.

Substantial progress has been achieved in recent years, largely because of intense advocacy and national mobilization backed by legislative and practical action. Between 2000 and 2016 alone, there was a 38 per cent decrease in child labour globally.

“The struggle against child labour has gained extraordinary momentum over the past two decades,” said Beate Andrees, Chief of the ILO’s Fundamentals Principles and Rights at Work Branch. “Yet, 152 million children across the world are still in child labour. We obviously need to scale up action further, and the decision by the General Assembly to declare 2021 the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour will be a great help in focusing attention on the millions of girls and boys still toiling in the fields, in the mines and in factories.”

The Federal Government has urged all stakeholders to partner with government in addressing the increasing phenomenon of Child Labour.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo, made the call on the occasion of the Symposium in commemoration of the 2019 World Day Against Child Labour, in Abuja.

The theme for this year’s World Day Against Child Labour is “Children Shouldn’t Work in Fields but on Dreams”.

He encouraged all stakeholders to take more practical steps to prevent and respond to child labour by addressing its root cause of poverty, lack of basic education, among others.

To address the menace of Child Labour, the Permanent Secretary said governments at all levels needed to prioritize the provisions of free and qualitative basic education to the rural communities and urban areas where child labour is endemic.

Alo also advocated that parents, especially mothers, should be trained on skills that would provide alternative means of livelihood, to address the problem of poverty.

The Permanent Secretary described the theme for this year’s World Day Against Child Labour as apt and timely, as “it is aimed at eliminating Child labour on the fields and using quality education as means of actualizing children’s dreams.”

He acknowledged that Nigeria had taken necessary steps in fighting the scourge through such measures as the Adoption of the National Policy on Child Labour and its National Action Plan for the Elimination of Child Labour in Nigeria, and the Adoption of the List of Hazardous Child Labour in Nigeria, which children must not be involved in.

Alo added that Nigeria also developed and validated the National Reporting Template on the Elimination of Child Labour, which had been deployed for use in the State Labour Offices nationwide.

The Permanent Secretary said Nigeria’s achievement in the fight against child labour gained her admittance as a member of Pathfinder Countries of Alliance 8.7, which mandates her “to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of Child Labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end Child Labour in all its worst forms”.

Speaking, the ILO Country Director, Dennis Zulu, said ILO had continued to support a wide range of work contributing to the elimination of child labour though “the provision of technical assistance to constituents, improving the knowledge base and supporting the movement against child labour through partnerships, advocacy and direct action programmes.”

According to Zulu, “ILO pursues an increasingly integrated approach to the elimination of child labour, linking fundamental rights, decent work, social protection and education.”

He commended Nigeria for being on the right track in the fight against child labour, as a pathfinder country and a member of Alliance 8.7, a platform which aims at putting an end to child labour in all its forms by 2025.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Abdulkadir Mu’azu, represented by Ime Ekrikpo, stated the resolve of the Ministry to support all programmes aimed at fighting child labour.

In his address, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammed Bello Umar, represented by Engr Adole, said children should not be engaged in strenuous activities at the expense of their development.

The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mohammed Babandede, represented by Mr Obaike Azen, identified lack of social security support for the young and the aged as a major factor in the promotion of child labour.

The Director, Inspectorate of the Ministry, Mrs Amahian Jegbefumeh, stated that the World Day Against Child Labour is commemorated annually to raise awareness and sensitization on the prevalent practice of child labour, and the need for its eradication.

We will ensure solid maintenance of Lagos roads, lawmakers assure Patrick Okohue The Lagos State House of Assembly has vowed to stand on the neck of the state Public Works Corporation to ensure solid maintenance that would stand a test of time.

The Chairman, House Ad hoc Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure, Mr Setonji David gave this assurance in an interview in Lagos.

David said that the committee had been going round the state to assess road conditions and that the committee had shown displeasure to public works corporation.

David (APC-Badagry II) in the assembly said: “We have started; we have visited a number of places.

Some roads are still in a very worse state.

We are prevailing on the public works to start work and they have started in the area of road maintenance. We have been urging them to continue in the maintenance.

“We have called them (public works officials) to meetings to express our displeasure about the state of roads in the state and the

general manager has assured us that things have started to improve.

“As earlier stated by the Rt-Hon. Speaker,(Mudashiru Obasa), the corporation has to do a good job because we cannot maintain a road and in another one week the same becomes bad again and develop pot holes.

“We will ensure that the maintenance is strong and solid so that the road can stand a test of time.

We will be on their neck to deliver on road maintenance.”

According to him, the state is planning to have road maintenance units in virtually all the 20 local governments and local council development areas in the state.

He said that the committee would also continue to monitor the corporation by going to sites and visiting those locations the corporation had done to ensure that what they do was right.

David added that the committee had visited Ibeju-Lekki Local Government to look at what the public works corporation was doing.

He said that now that the rain had subsided and that the maintenance activities had been geared up by public works.

According to him, the state’s three major plants for asphalt production have commenced operations in Ojodu Berger, Badagry and Imota area of Ikorodu.

“Our roads are being maintained gradually and soon they will be in order. In the next one month, we are going to have very significant changes in the road infrastructure in Lagos State.

“The resuscitation of asphalt plants will expedite actions in road maintenance operations.

“We believe that under one month or two, we will see significant changes in the maintenance activities on our roads in Lagos State,” he said.

The lawmaker, who is an engineer by profession, decried incessant flooding on the roads and the poor attitude of people to blockage of drains with refuse.

“The major enemy of road is water; when the road retains water, it destroys the roads and that is what is causing problems all over the state.

“That is why we are always clamouring for our drainage system to be efficient and be clean. Our people must realise that they must not dump refuse on drainages.

Mr. Anselm Ojezua

Edo’s political crisis not power play between Obaseki, Oshiomole, but external influences – APC Patrick Okohue The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has put a lie to the claims that the state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki is at loggerheads with his predecessor and National Chairman of party, Adams Oshiomhole over the control of the state and leadership tussle in Edo State House of Assembly.

The State Chairman of APC, Mr. Anselm Ojezua, however blamed the crisis in the state on the deceptive nature of players in the state’s political space.

Speaking with some journalists in Lagos, Ojezua pointed out that the state has been in the news for the wrong reasons because certain individuals who had hijacked the resources of the state in one way or the other resorted to blackmail and misrepresentation of facts to strain the relationship between the governor and his predecessor when the present administration stopped them from collecting and diverting revenue meant for the development of the state.

The Edo APC helmsman said the challenges before the party in Edo State goes beyond the leadership tussle in the state’s House of Assembly, saying “It is just that third party is trying to create problems between our national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Governor Obaseki. The developments in recent times have whittled down the tension created by the crisis.’’

Ojezua explained that, “The national chairman of the party has discovered the ulterior motives of the political jobbers going to him in Abuja to spread all sorts of falsehood that the governor has dumped the blueprint drafted to make Edo State attractive for investments to boost economic prosperity of the state in order to rubbish Oshiomhole’s regime, or that the governor is against his people or that the party was bound to lose the next election if the governor is allowed to continue in that direction. Our national chairman now knows better and we are talking and back to where we ought to have started.’’

He explained that the party decided to throw its weight behind the governor because of his resolve to take the state to next level of development.

Harping on the state assembly crisis, Ojezua said nobody is preventing the remaining twelve members from being inaugurated, assuring the people of the state that no invasion will take place in the state as Edo is not a colony of the National Assembly but a sovereign part of Nigeria.

“The people of Edo should continue to live in peace and not to be worried by the so-called threat of an invasion. There will be no invasion against the people of Edo. Edo State remains a sovereign part of Nigeria. We are what we called federating partners.”

Also speaking, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, said the focus of Obaseki is to provide good governance in the state.

He said before the advent of the present administration in the state, Edo State education sector had gone bad, saying the Obaseki-led government deployed enormous resources to ensure the education sector is transformed.

According to Osagie, the state government had since ensured that the gains in digital teaching recorded in primary schools through the Edo Basic Education Sector Transformation (EdoBEST) initiative are sustained at the secondary school level by designating special junior secondary schools to offer digital teaching in the state.

He said over 12,000 teachers had been trained under the Edo-BEST programme, just as the government ensures that salaries were being paid as and when due every month.

According to him, the administration also focused on capacity building, retooling the state’s civil service to become technologydriven to meet the demands of the global age and drive its reforms.

Osagie said the present administration in the state will sustain the transformation of the state and ensure that Edo people enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Dangote Cement bags of Goodies: Labourer wins first saloon car promo in Lagos Temitope Adebayo A labourer at a block moulding site in the Lagos Island on Monday emerged the first saloon car star prize winner in Lagos State in the on-going multi-billion Naira Dangote Cement National Consumer Promotion tagged “Bag of Goodies” just as several other winners had their winning scratch cards redeemed.

The winner, Mujahid Shiabu, who just returned from Borno State two weeks ago, was full of surprises as the management of Dangote Cement officially presented his car to him amid ecstasy by his other colleagues and friends.

Making the car presentation, the Group Executive Director, Dangote Industries Limited, Hajiya Halima Aliko Dangote explained that the promotion is meant to give economic empowerment to Dangote Cement end users, adding that the company had also done same for its retailers and distributors in the past.

Besides, she stated that the consumer promotion was in tandem with the philosophy of the Dangote group which is to touch people’s lives by providing their basic needs.

Halima pointed out that Dangote cement considered its customers as partners and “you know the meaning of partnership; we are all working together for our mutual benefits. We are all winners when you buy Dangote cement.

“At Dangote cement, we don’t just produce quality cement for customer satisfaction, we produce quality for customer excellence and that is why we are the biggest and the best”, she stated.

Oniru of Iruland, Oba Idowu Abiodun Oniru, commended the Chairman of Dangote Cement, Aliko Dangote, for his giant strides in industrial undertakings, pointing out that governments could not venture into sectors where Dangote has established his footprint.

The monarch, who was represented by his son, Aremo Adesegun Oniru, stated that the Nigerian government is hugely indebted to Dangote for helping Nigeria’s economic growth through investments for self-sustenance even far beyond cement.

According to him, Nigerians should keep praying for Dangote because by the time he finishes his refinery, Nigeria would be occupying a better place in the world economic map, noting that the Dangote refinery and Petrochemical currently under construction is beyond the Federal Government ability.

The star prize winner, Shiabu, who could barely communicate in pidgin English, said he never expected that his day would take a new turn the day he opened a bag of Dangote cement only for him to find a scratch card inside and upon scratching it “only to reveal you have won a saloon car.”

Dangote cement Marketing Director, Mrs Funmi Sanni, urged people to continue to buy Dangote cement because there are various prizes for a whopping 21 million Dangote cement buyers, a figure she describes as about 10 per cent of Nigeria’s population.

We gave out N70bn credit to MSMEs in 2 years - DBN Chairman Motolani Oseni The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) Monday disclosed that it has given out N70 billion as loans to over 50,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within two years.

The Chairman of the bank, Dr. Shehu Yahaya said this at the maiden series of the bank with the theme: Surviving To Thriving: “MSMEs as the key to unlocking inclusive growth in Africa”, held in Abuja.

Yahaya said that bank will continue to work in line with its mandate which is to alleviate financing constraints being faced by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria.

He noted that it was important that the government seeks ways to boost job creation through formal enterprises.

Yahaya said that DBN change the narrative by providing finance and partial credit guarantees to eligible financial intermediaries

based on market conformity as well as full financially sustainability.

Earlier in his address the Managing Director of DBN, Mr Tony Okpanachi, said that as the bedrock of economic growth and development MSMEs can play a critical role in accelerating economic transformation and industrialization.

According to Okpanachi, the lecture series is one of the ways to further strengthen the economy by ensuring that MSMEs are adequately empowered to continually contribute effectively to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the nation.

Citing data from both SMEDAN and National Bureau of Statistics (NBC) which put the number of MSMEs in Nigeria at 41.5million, the Managing Director said that they collectively contribute over 50 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP. “However, access to finance is still a concern for this critical segment of the economy. The latest figure indicates that at the Micro level, about 90.5% do not have access

to credit whilst the figure for SMEs is put at 67.9 per cent. Other pressing areas which rank high for SMEs are assistance in power and water supply – 83.5 per cent as well as tax rate reduction- 73.1 per cent.”

Underscoring the importance of the event, the Okpanachi said MSMEs are the bedrock of Nigeria’s Industrialization and inclusive economic development noting that as the largest employers in many low-income countries including Nigeria, their viability and growth has been restricted by lack of access to long-term debt capital.

“Our mandate at the Development Bank of Nigeria is to alleviate financing constraints faced by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria through the provision of financing and partial credit guarantees to eligible financial intermediaries on a market conforming and fully financially sustainable basis and this lecture series is our way of providing a platform for a robust exchange of ideas to tackle the challenges and take advantage of opportunities that exist in

the MSME segment of the economy.

“We believe that at the end of today’s interactions we would have a broadened understanding of these challenges and critically examine and act towards practical steps to resolve some of the obstacles that constrain growth within the segment”, he added.

In his keynote address, former President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Dr Donald Kaberuka, asserted that unfavourable government policies and bureaucracies rather than lack of access to finance was the major drawback to the growth of MSMEs. “Think of a small car repairer in Kaduna or a small kiosk owner in Soweto. If electricity is unreliable his small margins are gone even if they had access to finance.

“Think of red tape, and multiple level taxation or inability to access government procurement or not being paid on time.

“But there is also inexperienced management and capacity, and limited access to accounting services”, he said.

SON expresses readiness for AfCFTA implications Joy Obakeye The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has said it is prepared for the imminent implications of Nigeria’s signing of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement recently by the President.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Director-General of SON, Mr Osita Aboloma, in Abuja.

According to Aboloma, preparatory steps towards the free movement of goods and services include the development of Standards for artisanship such as carpentry, masonry, fashion design, painting among many others to ensure a free exchange of the services particularly within West Africa.

Aboloma acknowledged the imminent challenge of combating the possibility of dumping of substandard and lifeendangering products through the seaports

since the agency was not present to at the ports to carry out quality verification of products on arrival.

He, however, stressed that SON staff would continue to deploy all strategies including the use of automation, intelligence gathering and compliance monitoring to protect Nigerian Consumers from the menace of substandard and life-endangering products within available resources.

The SON Chief Executive extolled the

existing robust collaboration among sister regulatory and security agencies in the fight against substandard products, but called for greater synergy.

He said the organisation had been working in close collaboration with other Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MADs) of government as well as development partners to develop the National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) to cater to the free movement of goods and services in Africa.

Cybercrime: Expose yourselves to education, enlightenment, NCC tells consumers Ladesope Ladelokun The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has urged telecom consumers to go all out to get informed and enlightened on how to protect themselves from cybercriminals while making use of the internet, stating cybercrimes get more sophisticated the more people to get connected to the internet.

The Commission says it is important to know the antics of cybercriminals that use the cyberspace to defraud legitimate internet

users and expose their victims to all manner of dangers.

Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau at the NCC, Felicia Onwuegbuchulam stated this at the 51st edition of the Consumer Town Hall Meeting (CTM) in Warri, Delta State recently with the theme: Mitigating Effects of Cybercrimes: the Role of Telecom Consumers, says telecommunications consumers are important stakeholders in the cyberspace, noting that there is a need for consumers to update themselves on cybercrime trends because cybercriminals will continue to make cybercrime unsafe.

“It is our belief at the commission, therefore, that as more people are getting connected to the internet, the sophistication of cybercrime is also becoming heightened. It is for this reason that the commission is hosting this forum to sensitise and enlighten consumers to become more aware of cybercrime trends and to make efforts to improve the safety of users on the cyberspace.

“Cybercriminals will continue to make cyberspace unsafe. So, consumers who desire to be protected while online must expose themselves to education and enlightenment to be equipped with measures to be taken for their

safety while using the internet”, she said Represented at the event by Ismail Adedigba, Head, Information and Reference, NCC, Onwuegbuchulam said the NCC would not relent in its efforts to educate and enlighten consumers on issues in the industry, adding that the planned Internet Code of Practice for service providers was designed to protect consumers.

“The innovation week is, therefore, a platform to work as a Group and across the aisle as we seek creative ways of leading the change in the financial services sector across Middle Africa”, he added.

Daily Times Nigeria Tuesday, July 30, 2019

Ethics report accuses UNRWA leadership of abuse of power A confidential internal report from the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency’s ethics office has detailed alleged abuses of authority among the organisation’s senior management team.

With input from dozens of current and former staff, the 10page document cites “credible and corroborated reports” that members of an “inner circle” at the top of UNRWA have engaged in “abuses of authority for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives”.

The report alleges that the “inner circle” is made up of CommissionerGeneral Pierre Krahenbuhl, Deputy Commissioner-General Sandra Mitchell - who resigned from her post in late July - Chief of Staff Hakam Shahwan - who left the agency in early July - and Senior Adviser to the Commissioner-General Maria Mohammedi.

It concludes that the individuals’ alleged conduct presents “an enormous risk to the reputation of the UN” and that “their immediate removal should be carefully considered”.

Al Jazeera obtained a copy of the ethics office report from a source close to UNRWA, who said that agency employees were concerned about a seeming lack of action after it was sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s office in December last year.

Al Jazeera understands that the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) has opened a probe into allegations detailed in the report, while the secretary-general’s spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, confirmed in late June that the report had been received.

“An investigation of the allegations contained in the report you mention is ongoing. Until this investigation is completed, the Secretary-General is not in a position to make any further comments on this matter,” he said in a statement.

“As he has shown in the past, the Secretary-General is committed to acting swiftly upon receiving the full report.”

The ethics report claims that members of the inner circle “have

engaged in misconduct, nepotism, retaliation ... and other abuses of authority”.

It alleges that, since 2015, they have steadily consolidated power, leading to “management decline”, and that the situation escalated markedly from the beginning of 2018.

The alleged escalation coincided with the fallout from the decision by the United States, historically the agency’s largest individual donor, to cut its contributions from $360m to $60m for 2018 and then cut its donations to zero in 2019, causing a funding crisis in UNRWA. The report claims that the 2018 crisis “served as an excuse for an extreme concentration of decision making power in members of the ‘clique’ and in particular, the [former] chief of staff; increased disregard for agency rules and established procedures, with exceptionalism becoming the norm; and continued excessive travel of the commissioner-general”.

It further alleges that these developments led to an “exodus of senior and other staff” and a work culture “characterised by low morale, fear of retaliation ... distrust, secrecy, bullying, intimidation, and marginalisation ... and management that is highly dysfunctional, with a significant breakdown of the regular accountability structure”.

When presented with a number of the allegations reported in this story, Krahenbuhl “unreservedly” rejected the characterisation of UNRWA and its senior leadership set out in the extracts.

“If the current investigation - once it is completed - were to present findings that require corrective measures or other management actions, I will not and we will not hesitate to take them,” he said in a statement to Al Jazeera.

“Any suggestion therefore that we are not taking our responsibilities seriously is unfounded and highly misleading. We should be judged on the findings of the independent investigation not on allegations, rumors or fabrications,” he said.

Much of the report focuses on allegations surrounding the conduct of Commissioner-General Krahenbuhl, 53, who took up the post in March 2014.

It says that in the second half of the

same year, the Swiss national made several trips to the Gulf region, accompanied by staff from UNRWA’s Arab Partners Unit, including Mohammedi, who was a Senior External Relations Projects Officer at the time.

The report cites unnamed sources as saying that Krahenbuhl “expressed a particular interest” in Mohammedi in late 2014.

Mohammedi was subsequently appointed to the role of senior adviser to the commissioner-general, effective February 2015.

The report says that after the appointment, it quickly became clear to staff in UNRWA’s Executive Office and the External Relations and Communications Department (ERCD) that their relationship went “beyond the professional”.

The relationship between the two created a “toxic environment” for colleagues in the executive office and caused “frequent embarrassment for ERCD colleagues and others when dealing with member states”, including donor representatives and donors, the report alleges.

It claims that, following her appointment, Krahenbuhl took Mohammedi with him on “the vast majority of his business travels, using his authority to obtain waivers enabling her to travel business class with him”.

Citing former executive office staff, it alleges that the commissioner-general was “structurally away from his duty station of Jerusalem on duty travel ... claiming DSA (daily subsistence allowance) for 28-29 days per month”.

In a statement to Al Jazeera, Krahenbuhl said: “UNRWA is aware that a report was submitted to the United Nations Headquarters, which is said to contain allegations against members of UNRWA’s staff.”

“At the end of March 2019, I was notified that allegations against UNRWA would be investigated by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS). I have at all stages of this process instructed and afforded full cooperation with this investigation.

“While the investigation is underway, I am not at liberty and neither for that matter is any UNRWA staff member - to comment on specific allegations or on rumours. Interfering with or otherwise commenting on specific elements of an investigation may violate rules and obligations we are bound

by as UN staff,” he said.

Mohammedi told Al Jazeera she had “never seen” the ethics report and rejected the accusations about her conduct as “false” and “ill-intentioned”.

A former UNRWA director, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Al Jazeera they had read the ethics report and found it to be “accurate”.

After the US announced in January 2018 it would reduce its funding to UNRWA, Krahenbuhl launched the “Dignity is Priceless” global fundraising campaign, which aimed to raise $500m.

It was established outside of the ERCD, which traditionally manages fundraising efforts, causing “considerable friction” with the department and “contributing to the departure of several senior ERCD staff”, the report claims.

“In spite of its target, the campaign reportedly raised only modest amounts, with the vast majority of the agency’s new funding raised through ERCD, with the commissioner-general’s and a number of key member states’ active support,” the report alleges.

Krahenbuhl told Al Jazeera that the 2018 Dignity is Priceless Campaign was “one of the most successful resource mobilization efforts of all times”.

“By the end of the year, this campaign enabled us to successfully close the entire shortfall of $446m, an outstanding result”, he said in a statement.

According to the report, Deputy Commissioner-General Sandra Mitchell and former Chief of Staff Hakam Shahwan had previously worked together closely over several years.

The ethics report alleges two reported

attempts in 2018 by Mitchell, through Shahwan and other staff, to secure a more senior appointment for her spouse, Robert Langridge.

Mitchell’s spouse was appointed as a deputy director at UNRWA’s Jordan field office, effective October 2018.

The report alleges that Langridge “was appointed through an irregular recruitment process and in violation of the UN and Agency prohibition of conflicted spousal appointment”.

In a statement to Al Jazeera, Langridge said he categorically rejected the allegations.

“I particularly resent and reject the notion that I was not qualified for the position. This is neither factual nor correct,” he said.

Mitchell told Al Jazeera she “emphatically” rejected all the allegations.

“There is a pending investigation and as a UN staff member, I am restricted from commenting on specific allegations nor do I wish to interfere in that process as this would violate rules and obligations that I am bound by as a UN staff member”, she said in a statement.

UNRWA told Al Jazeera Mitchell decided to step down a few months earlier than scheduled for personal reasons, but as of now, she is still a staff member of the agency.

Shahwan was described by many staff members as behaving like a “thug” and as being increasingly seen as the de facto leader of UNRWA, the report alleges.

It also describes allegations that the former chief of staff undercut the work of field directors and had “effectively taken over UNRWA operations in Jerusalem”, circumventing field office chains of command and “bypassing established procurement and financial processes and decision making”.

Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad smashed the longstanding women’s 400m hurdles world record here Sunday, clocking 52.20sec with a superb display at the US Track and Field Championships.

Muhammad, gold medallist at the Rio de Janeiro Games, shattered the previous best of 52.34 set by Russia’s Yuliya Pechonkina in 2003.

“I’m just shocked,”

Dalilah Muhammad smashes women’s 400 million hurdles world record

Muhammad said afterwards.

“My coach kept telling me (the record) was there. I just had to trust that and go for it.

“I wanted it so bad I knew I had to go out there and prove myself.”

With puddles of water on the Drake Stadium track after showers earlier in the afternoon, the 29-year-old Muhammad set a blistering pace from the outset and hit the final straight with a clear

23

lead from rising star Sydney McLaughlin.

McLaughlin, who had beaten Muhammad in the final few strides of this season’s Oslo Diamond League meeting, never looked like closing the gap as the New Yorker powered home.

McLaughlin finished second in 52.88sec with Ashley Spencer third in 53.11.

We have to prepare for life without Messi – Barca president FC Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu accepts that the club has to do what some may consider virtually unthinkable – prepare for life without Leo Messi.

Messi has led the Barcelona side almost since making his first team debut as a 17-year-old and although there is no talk of him retiring in the near future, the fact is that he is now 32-years old and can’t go on forever.

“We think it is our obligation to work on the post-Messi era,” admitted Bartomeu in an interview in Spain.

“We are thinking about a post-Messi era because we are bringing in new players,” he said in reference to this summer’s signing of Antoine Griezmann and the arrival

of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele two years ago.

Coutinho has struggled to find his best form at the Camp Nou, but after a difficult first year Dembele last season showed he can be an important player for Barcelona.

“We have to think about this changing era when Messi will give up playing football but, as president, I hope that he is going to play with us for many more successful years” said the Barca President.

Barca have just returned from a week-long trip to Japan and the coming week wil see them continue with preparations for next weekend’s traditional Joan Gamper friendly game against Arsenal. (Xinhua/NAN)

From journalism classroom to the newsroom: A toast to my masters

Times Guest Columnist

By AbdulWarees Solanke Joke Kujenya is a fantastic female journalist who has put more than three decades into the penpushing craft.

She’s also gone round most of the big newspapers in the country, dead or surviving with many awards and laurels to her credit.

She’s has been involved in so many development projects and programmes as a media consultant.

I met her the first time in the starting days of Thisday when most of my colleagues in the dead National Concord, then under Late General Sani Abacha lock and keys, trooped to the new newspaper to find refuge.

Frequently, we reach out to one another for professional advice.

The last time she was involved in a programme I midwifed in Voice of Nigeria was the commemoration of Nelson Mandela International Day last year as a discussant.

I had invited Egbon Lanre Arogundade and Dr. Bisi Olawunmi as guest speakers.

Petite Sisi Joke, a widely travelled journalist enriched the discourse with her discerning insights as a well grounded journalist and development activist.

Two days ago, we got chatting again. Her reference to me as ‘an rounder’ humbled me. Well, I had a little answer All round ke! I shot back at her and continued, Well, if you say so, it’s because I went round the media and sat to learn at the feet of many all rounders.

The benefit of sitting in the news room of Nigerian Tribune and BCOS as an intern in 1987, stopping briefly at the wooden Punch in Onipetesi in 1988 where I met Chris Mamah and Dipo Onabanjo, sojourning with The Envoy in Sokoto under Emman Usman Shehu.

Do you know what it takes to be tapped by Liad Tella, charged by Nsikak Essien, nurtured by Tunji Bello, Sam Omatseye and Victor Ifijeh with the opportunity to understudy Frank Igwebueze and Waheed Odusile?

Yet, I sat with masters like Segun Babatope, Sunday Alabi, Iyiola Faloyin, Kayode Komolafe and Dayo Aiyetan on Concord Editorial Board, apart from visitors like Mike Ikhariale, Chuma Ifedi, Jim Unah and Duro Onabule.

Add the experience at Monitor where Femi Abbas and Segun Dipe were my supervisors.

Can you fault my Unilag upbringing where Azu, John Momoh and Dr. Soji Alabi were my class or course mates.

Add these to my grooming in Brunei Darussalam as a Commonwealth Broadcasting Association scholar in public policy and what you get is a small, smiling and genial product called Abdulwarees who always experiments with the styles of his many masters.

He’s just a fortunate boy at the right place, at the right time, meeting the right people who want to reproduce themselves in me.

In trying to meet their high standards, I’m also able to meet expectations of brothers and sisters like you who think I always have something in the kitty when all I have are the gems I picked from the minds and brains of my masters and stylists.

Dear readers. This is an example in professional grooming.

Whatever you are, you’re a mere product of some other producers.

You’re created raw, to be nurtured and burnished by others, to toughened, stretched or straightened in the hands of some other craftsmen in your trade.

In the hands of true masters, the experience is not always sweet, in fact mostly sour. In trying to reform or recreate you into their own mould, they unleash on you their chisels and hammers.

You have to be baked in their furnace to come out brownish. But many are those interns who do not understand their masters. So they cannot withstand their pressure.

They buckled under their weight or their masters lose patience in them.

So they either run away or their masters abandoned them to their fate, never to reach their full potentials.

When a product is well formed or made in the hands of better products, the tendency is that product to have a premium market value.

What this requires is patience in the hands of gruelling masters.

When your masters are hard on you, they only wish you become their equal or surpass them in worth or value.

Good masters have a challenge.

They don’t easily get a replacement.

Yet, they wish their value endures.

But the endurance or sustainability of the wealth and worth of a master is in the number of his successors.

A master is not a success he cannot name or number his successors.

On the celebration of Professor Olatunji Dare’s 75th birthday on our WhatsApp platform a few days ago, those of us who graduated from the university of Lagos mass communication department

went into reminiscences on the legendary teacher of journalism.

In the process, it was not only Professor Dare that was celebrated.

Everyone including our most detested came to our memory.

In fact we confessed that it was many years after leaving Akoka that we got to understand and appreciate the style of our hated ones.

Some of our masters may be too futuristic and so, what they teach may seem unattainable. Today the future is never too far.

The lesson here is never detest a mentor or teacher when he complains about you or reject your effort. It’s because he wants to lead you into a future that you don’t see.

All teachers, masters, mentors and guides, no matter their approach or temperament drive at the same goal: Having a finished product, a reliable successor, one who can step into their big shoes should they exit the system or leave the world.

So, when a master is hard on you, it is for your good. However, the luck I’ve had in my career as a writer is that all my masters are my brothers and friends. They are even my fathers, always trying to pave the way for me. This is a grace from Allah that my masters treat me as their adopted son.

While growing under each of them, I never groaned or complained about them, never gossip about them. Today, I thank the Femi Adesinas, the Dele Alakes, the Segun Babatopes, Nsikak Essiens, Liad Tellas, Tunji Bello, Sam Omatseye, Victor Ifijeh, Isaac Okorafor, Kayode Komolafe, Niyi Obaremi, Akin Ogunrinde, Taiwo Ogundipe, Lanre Arogundade, Femi Abbas and many others who went through my scripts in the early years. I appreciate late Ladi Lawal, Callistus Oke and Abubakar Jijiwa for finding worth in my work and always ready to give me platforms to express myself at different junctions of my journey in journalism. At many instances while seeking big opportunities, the references they wrote on or for me were always superlative. Here is a toast to all my masters from the classroom to the newsroom. I thank them all.

Abdulwarees, a fellow of the chartered institute of public diplomacy and management and assistant director, strategic planning and Corporate development in voice of Nigeria also volunteers at Muslim Public Affairs Centre MPAC Nigeria as Director Media & Strategic Communications.

General Buratai: Why golf is important to Nigerian Army The Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Tukur Buratai, has said the game of golf is another form of military training, which could help the Nigerian Army personnel in tackling the current insecurity in Nigeria.

According to Mr Buratai, soldiers’ fitness could be fully kept through the regular playing of golf. He said it could also add the value of patience among soldiers and self-improvement in the discharge of military activities.

Mr Buratai gave the charge over the weekend at the commissioning of the remodelled Rhino Golf Club, 3 Division of the Nigeria Army, Jos. The army chief, who was represented by John Malu, Commander, Corps Engineers, called on men and officers to fully take part in the golf game.

He said, “The game of golf is all about ethics and tradition just as the Nigeria Army. It is a game that brings people of all works of life together.

“I always tell people that no game can surpass golf because the game has nothing to do with age.”

Mr Buratai stated that it was in realisation of the importance of golf that he recently directed the establishment of Eagle Golf Course in Musa Yar’adua Barracks in Abuja so as to encourage Nigerian Army officers to register as members.

The army general, however, commended

the General Officer Commanding 3 Division, Nuhu Angbazo, a major general, for his commitment towards the renovation of the Rhino Golf Course which could stand among the best in the country.

“I commend all efforts in rehabilitating and renovating the golf course.

“This will further encourage golfers in and around the state and the country, in general, to always come for kitties and tournaments,” he added.

Responding to the development, Mr Angbazo said the renovation and remodelling of the golf club was made possible by the army chief who did not only approve but also made available the funds.

The GOC further said that since the resuscitation of the Rhino Golf Club, the number of members has been on the increase.

He said that he recently joined the league of golfers and had been practising regularly and wishes to continue till he attains zero handicap.

Mr Angbazo commended Oluwaseun Oshinowo, a major general (rtd) and captain of Rhino Golf Club, for his untiring efforts at ensuring that the club is kept alive.

Mr Oshinowo, in his remarks, appreciated Mr Buratai for ensuring the renovation of the club.
