Osun: Adeleke qualified to contest guber poll, A’ Court rule Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Court of Appeal, Abuja on Thursday held that Senator Ademola Adeleke possessed the requisite qualification to contest the Osun state governorship election on September 22, 2018. A Federal Capital Territory High Court had on April 4 disqualified the candidature of Sen. Adeleke the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the contest of the said election on the ground that he did not possess the requisite qualification. In a unanimous judgment on Thursday, the Court of Appeal said that the suit filed by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the FCT High Court challenging Adeleke’s qualification was a pre -election matter brought outside the 14 days allowed by law. Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Emmanuel Agim also held that being a pre -election matter, the suit ought not to have been filed 43 days after the appellant had submitted the alleged forged WAEC certificate. Besides, Justice Agim stated that the trial court delivered its judgment on the suit 209 days, instead of the 180 constitutionally

necessary support and marching orders to the security agencies that Boko Haram insurgency should be over in the next two years or six months. “Not that they are successfully repelled or substantially degraded, Boko Haram and issues of banditry should be a thing of the past and that should come from the commander-in-chief. “At this level, I do not think the insurgency is a real threat, Boko Haram is no longer a big threat and they allow it to continue in some black spots which the security agencies know. “The black spots of Boko Haram are now three, namely, the Lake Chad fringes, Sambisa Forest and Mandara Mountains. The security agencies should live up to expectations and get it done in these three locations even if they have to hire or get whatever it takes to get it done in these locations because security is the number one thing,” he stated. Commenting on the North East Development Commission (NEDC), Sen. Ndume advised the commission to give priority attention to the reconstruction of infrastructure and resettlement of displaced communities while greater attention should also be accorded to the economic empowerment of displaced persons.

Court dismisses Udom’s motion in Usoro’s trial Peter Fowoyo, Lagos A motion filed by Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom state seeking to quash the N1.4 billion alleged fraud charge slammed on the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Paul Usoro (SAN) by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was on Thursday dismissed by a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. Justice Rilwan Aikawa dismissed the motion yesterday for lacking in merit. The governor had in the motion said the inclusion of his name on the charge by the antigraft agency had rendered it null and void. He urged the court to decline jurisdiction to entertain the case because as a sitting governor, he cannot be prosecuted by virtue of the immunity granted him by Section 308 of the constitution. Gov. Udom added that the EFCC has no locus standi to charge any of his aides to court because the fund which is the subject of the suit belongs to Akwa Ibom state government.

However, in a ruling on the motion, Justice Aikawa while agreeing with the governor that he enjoys immunity from prosecution said he is not a defendant in the case. The judge held that the mere mentioning of the governor’s name in the charge does not mean he is facing trial. “It is not in doubt that the applicant belongs to a class of citizens who enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. He cannot be charged for any criminal offence. “But, the question is, is he really facing trial before the court? In this case, the complainant is the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the main defendant is Paul Usoro (SAN). “Therefore, the mere mentioning of the governor’s name in the charge does not mean he is facing trial. It is not enough to qualify him as a defendant. “The applicant is not part of this trial. Counts one to four remain mere statements and nothing more. They have not graduated to the status of a charge,” the judge further held.

Ndume urges Buhari to concentrate on endling insecurity after 4 months Senator Ali Ndume (APC/ Borno) on Thursday charged President Muhammadu Bauhari to concentrate in addressing the security challenges facing the country to fast track sustainable social and economic development. Sen. Ndume, gave the charge while speaking at a media session in Maiduguri, said it is good for federal government to focus its energies on improving the dire security situation in the country. The senator asserted that the federal government must leave every other thing on its agenda for now and concentrate on restoring security of lives and property. According to him, nothing for now is as important as security because if a country, family or a town is not secured, then nothing works as expected in such a society. “It is important for government to show determination in addressing the issue of security first,” Ndume said and further advocated for more proactive measures from the Buhari administration to end insurgency and banditry in parts of the country. “This time around, the federal government should turn around to change things; draw a time line, give

stipulated for judgment for trial courts on pre -election matters. He resolved the five issues raised in the appeal filed by Sen. Adeleke in his favour, declaring that the judgment delivered by Justice Othman Musa of the FCT High Court null and void having been delivered outside the 180 days. The Court of Appeal also held that the FCT High Court had no jurisdiction to have entertained the suit whose cause of action arose from Oshogbo, the capital of Osun state where Adeleke submitted the alleged forged certificate. The appellate court further faulted the decision of the FCT High Court on the ground that the court has no powers to set aside the decision of the Osun state High Court. It further said the high court has no jurisdiction to sit on appeal over the decision of a court of coordinate jurisdiction, particularly as the judgment binds all, including the FCT High Court. He consequently, declared the decision of the FCT High Court a nullity, adding that it was curious that the trial court also sub-poenaed some evidences and exhibits such as the affidavit evidence from WEAC, but woefully failed to consider them in the judgment.

Nigerian politicians: Leaders or locusts?

Ademola Adeoye

Nigerians did not vote for anyone to pray for them in either Saudi Arabia or Israel. We do have enough pastors and imams—who are doing all that and more. In serious climes, political leaders are being voted into power to solve economic and security problems, but here, after voting them into power, they become naïve, oblivious and clueless, and start running to Israel and Saudi Arabia as if that’s how serious nations are being built. When last did you see Presidents of Russia, Rwanda and China run to Israel and Saudi Arabia, putting their photographs on the pages of national newspapers, using taxpayers’ money? For years, I have been telling Nigerians that Nigeria is not a religious country, but because our people love to swim in the cesspool and cesspit of deception, they would not listen. Nigeria is a secular country! Do your politicians go to “Holylands” before sharing your collective patrimony at Local, State and Federal levels? Let them keep fooling you! Going to both—Saudi Arabia and Israel only make the economies of those two countries stronger, but it does not change our lawless and selfish culture in Nigeria, and it does not add anything to our besieged, snowed-under and

struggling economy a hoot. Religion is supposed to be a personal thing in a secular country as ours. And for the umpteenth time, we do not want any president to travel to the ends of the earth to pray for us. Kindly sit at home and let us think, plan and work out in shoeleather—on how we are going to come out of the quagmire that we have found ourselves and creatively birth a solid street-map that is capable of delivering a great future that our children and unborn generations of Nigerians would be proud of. When true leaders sit on a nation, it prospers, but when locusts sit on a nation as we have been having in Nigeria since 1960, it suffers. Those who are sitting over every 3rd world country are locusts, not leaders! Nigeria and Africa—as a whole—are blessed with natural resources, but with the presence of locusts (masquerading as leaders), attacking the economy of Africa, this continent can never move forward as expected. I unassumingly and humbly submit to every Christian and Moslem in Nigeria that religion cannot build this country. What is building other serious nations is not religion. The nations of the earth that are working productively are using their

brains. They have clear-cut visions— that have been developed into workable plans, and with utmost seriousness and sincerity, they are daily working out their own greatness. As far as I am concerned, our own version of democracy is a hoax and it is void of morality, decency and honesty. How can a nation that has over 150million poor citizens—have lawmakers who are outrageously remunerated? Does this make any sense? Where is the place of justice in this? And how can a nation that detests justice be truly peaceful? Remember, peace cannot exist without justice. Our lawmakers have many thoughtless and insensitive packages. Those who collect “send-forth package” will also receive “welcome package,” if they are returned to either the Senate or House of Representatives! And exgovernors who are now Senators too will receive the immoral “welcome package” And because this generation of Nigerians is very docile, everything goes. Kindly understand that it is not only those in the House of Representatives and Senate—who are plundering us as a people. Every politician is a locust in Nigeria. They are in power to be served, not to serve. Just four (4) years

in power, they become billionaires. This is why they kill in order to perpetuate themselves in power. Nigeria is truly a jungle when it comes to democracy! Also, the poor man works very hard till he retires as a civil servant and has no house to retire to, but a governor is served for four (4) years and millions of naira is approved for him to build a house that he would retire to. This is after collecting “security vote” for four (4) years, running into billions of naira! Where is the place of justice in this? Does this show that we are serious as a people? A nation without justice cannot rise even if President Buhari runs to Saudi Arabia ten (10) times in a year to pray. Last of all, Nigeria is not blessed with visionary and selfless-leaders, what we do have in abundance are locusts. Nigeria currently has no singular leader! On the condition that you do know of one, kindly tell the precious people of Nigeria. Remember, locusts can only consume and destroy; they do not have the capacity to build. For the umpteenth time, the destiny of locusts is to destroy, not to build. May you all rise to remove every locust (masquerading as leaders) from the corridors of power, so we can truly begin to build a nation that we all can call our own!

Next Level: The last struggle

Aniebo Nwamu

A New Nigeria Will Emerge Within The Next Four Years. That’s My Prediction. Shall We Have A Better Country Or Not? All I Know Is That The Situation Will Not Be Pleasant, Just As It Isn’t Now. Between 2019 And 2023, The Majority Of Nigerians Will, Finally, Begin To Face Reality And Return To Where They Should Have Been Much Earlier. I Have No Congratulations To Offer Nigerian Politicians On Their Inauguration This Wednesday, For I’m Writing This From South-East Nigeria Where I Hope To Observe A Sit-At-Home In Honour Of The Memory Of My Father And 3Million Other Biafrans (And Maybe 3Million Other Nigerians) Cut Down By Evil Forces Masquerading As Lovers Of Nigeria. It’s Good That Yakubu Gowon, Ty Danjuma, Olusegun Obasanjo, David Mark And Some Of Their Minions Are Still Alive To Witness The State Of The Country For Which Sake They Committed The Fratricide Of 1967–70. There Is No Longer Any Doubt That “To Keep Nigeria One Is A Task That Must Be Accomplished”, The Battle Cry Of The Invaders Of Biafra, Was A Hollow Gimmick. Or, Was The Civil War Instigated By The West That Always Sought Opportunities To Sell Their Arms And Ammunition Or Take Over Oil Wells? But What Happened To The Brains Of Those Who Were Used To Kill Their Own Brothers? The Curses Placed By The Innocents On Their Assailants 50—53 Years Ago Seem To Have Started Working. Today, The Enemy Is No Longer “Nzeogwu’s Brother” Or “Ifeajuna’s Sister” But A Marauder Whose Lust Is To Kill And Destroy Whoever And Whatever Stands On Their Way. I Believe What They Call “Boko Haram” Is Not A Gang Of Poor, Jobless Beggars; It Is A WellFunded And Well-Directed Army Being Used To Actualise A Hidden Agenda. Otherwise, Why Do We Still Have The Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, Dss, Nia And Dozens Of Other Agencies? Does It Mean Nobody Knows How This Terrorist Group Is Funded Or The People Behind Them? Why Has None Of These Agencies

Sustained By Public Funds Not Been Axed? The More Security Votes Are Dispensed, The Worse The Insecurity Situation Becomes, Yet Few Are Raising Eyebrows. Common Sense Tells Every Reasonable Person That Any Ransom Paid From The Public Purse Is An Indirect Appropriation For Strengthening The “Enemy”. Imagine Army Generals And Police Commissioners Intermittently Issuing Press Releases To Warn “Unpatriotic Elements” And “Foreign Collaborators” To Steer Clear Of “Derailing Buhari’s Second Term”. From Their Air-Conditioned Offices In Abuja Or Lagos, They’re Always “Making Concerted Efforts” To Be “On Top Of The Situation” Or Deny Reports Of Their Humiliations By The Enemy. Meanwhile, Ill-Equipped And Poorly Armed Soldiers Are Being Killed By Better-Armed Terrorists. Almost Every Community In Every Part Of The Country Has Lost A Son Or Two Fighting A War They Didn’t Understand In The North-East. But Why? Why Are People This Wicked? Just To Satisfy A Few Whims And Caprices, They’re Sacrificing Their Own Compatriots. Just To Have Access To Stolen Oil Or Mine Gold And Diamonds With Little Challenge, They’re Murdering Unarmed, Starving And Harmless Villagers And Razing Their Homes. Just To Have A Market For Their Weapons, They’re Sponsoring Ignorant And Jobless Hooligans To Levy War On Their Country And Their Continent. Worse, These Wicked Godfathers Of Crime Don’t Even Offer The “Black Things” They Use To Kill And Destroy A Chance To Think Rationally: Drugs Of All Kinds Are Always Available For Their “Fighters”. Forty-Nine Years After The So-Called Defeat Of Biafra, Only Those Who Shot Their Way To Power In Order To Loot Our Commonweal Still Talk Of “This Great Country”. Once They’re Out Of Power, They Begin To Complain About What Is Wrong With Nigeria. They’re Never Happy. They’re Never Healthy. And See How They’ve Been Dying Miserably In Large Numbers. To Restructure Nigeria Is A Task That

Must Be Begun Before The Generation That Fought Biafra Die Out. The “Next Level” Should Witness Our Last Struggle For Restructuring. Every Day That Passes Without Our Leaders Taking A Step Forward Is A Wasted One. Is It Not Said That Only A Mad Person Does One Thing Repeatedly And Expects A Different Result? Nigeria Is Not Working; It Will Not Work Until We Return To Where We Were At Independence In 1960. When Some People Accuse The Yoruba Of Having Betrayal In Their Blood, This Is What They Mean: For At Least 25 Years Before 2015, The Yoruba Were At The Forefront Of The Quest For Restructuring. Once They Succeeded In Getting To The Centre, Their Agitation Died Down. Now That They’re Anticipating A Bad Sign Towards 2023, They’ve Begun To Proclaim “Restructuring” From Their Rooftops Once Again. Hardly A Day Passes Without One Reading A Release Or The Other From Shadowy Groups Canvassing The Position Of The Yoruba On Fulani Herdsmen, Fulani Radio And Fulani Rapists And Kidnappers. The Groups Are Obviously Sponsored Perhaps By Politicians Who Are Not Getting The Right Signals As Politicking For 2023 Gathers Steam. Only The Igbo Have Been Consistent – And Have Been Walking In The Right Direction. The Middle Belters Who Were Used To Fight Biafra Seem To Have Realised Their Folly, Having Lost Almost All Privileges Enjoyed By The “Victors” Of The Fratricidal War. I Just Hope Young People From The South-East Won’t Offer “Pythons” Another Chance To Murder Them For Mourning Their Loved Ones This Thursday. They’ve Been Told To Stay In Their Homes And Not Organise Rallies. As For The “Pythons”, I Advise Them To Go To The Theatre Of War Waged By Boko Haram And “Bandits” And Leave Unarmed Civilians In The South-East And South-South Alone. It Was The Same Action Their Kind Took During The Nigeria—Biafra War: They Murdered Innocent Men, Women And Children In

Villages But Couldn’t Go To The War Front As Expected Of True Soldiers. Never Again! Please, We Should Be Left To Mourn; It’s Our “Next Level” Of Hope. The Effect Of The Current War Waged By Terrorists Is Only Beginning To Be Felt. There Are Darker Days Ahead. Those Billions Of Dollars Used For Procuring Fighting Equipment Must Be Accounted For,Because They Were All Imported. The Treasury Will Continue To Bleed, As Funds That Should Be Used To Provide More Essential Things Such As Power, Education, Rail System And Health Get Diverted To Terror Fights. By Crippling The Economy, The War May Eventually Lead To Nigeria’s Disintegration. The SoCalled Minimum Wage Has No Meaning – It Has Been Devoured Already By Inflation, Even As The Naira Is Set To Be Devalued Again. [You May Not Get A Dollar For N1, 000 By This Time Next Year.] In Two Short Years, No State Or Federal Government May Be Able To Pay Salaries, Just As The Country May No Longer Be Able To Service Its $25Billion Loan. [And Creditors Like China Might Start Knocking At The Door.] When Soldiers Can’t Get Their Pay At The End Of The Month, They Can’t Be Forced To Fight On Empty Stomach. Better Funded Insurgents May Then Meet Little Resistance As They Seek To Overrun The Entire Country. Nonetheless, I Have Nothing But Best Wishes For President Buhari, State Governors And Other Officeholders Who Have Now Entered A New Term. While They Rejoice They Should Understand, However, That The Next Four Years Will Be The Hardest Period In The Country’s History – Much Harder Than The Civil War Years. Our Lawmakers, I Hope, Will See The Need To Reduce Their Jumbo Pay. All Looters Of The Treasury May Not Be Able To Enjoy Their Loot In Peace Anymore, And That Is For Those Lucky Enough To Stay Alive. The Table Will Certainly Be Shaken Vigorously Before 2023.

Editorial Commentary

Crocodile tears for Zamfara and a culture of interference

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

The immediate reason why the Supreme Court ruling on Zamfara has sparked a civil war in the All Progressives Congress (APC) is that the decision could further complicate the outcome of the leadership vote in the 9th National Assembly in a few days. Before the ruling nullified the election of the three APC senators from Zamfara, the party had 65 senators, for example, which is seven less than the two-thirds majority required to produce the next Senate president, without help from the opposition. With the party unable to persuade Senator Ali Ndume to step down for Senator Ahmed Lawan, the Supreme Court’s decision worsens the APC’s numerical nightmare in the legislature. But it improves the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to renew, possibly for another four years, the gift of political adultery which it has enjoyed these past years in the Saraki-Ekweremadu love affair. But the problem is not only short term. At the state level, the tally has improved from the pre-election status of 23-12 in favour of the APC to the current 19-16, with at least two key states of Osun and Kano still undecided by the courts and one potentially consequential governorship election (Kogi) coming up later this year. Given the demi-god role that governors play in local and national politics, largely because of the enormous funds they control, the stage is set for a showdown between the APC and the PDP in the next four years, with a huge army of APC discontents, further splitting themselves between the PDP, and possibly, a new third force. And all this appears down to the spectacular mismanagement of the APC primaries as a result of corruption, incompetence and the blatant refusal of party mandarins to follow the rules. I’ll come back to this shortly. In response to the Supreme Court judgement which declared that votes for the party in the governorship and legislative elections were wasted, the party’s deputy national chairman, Lawal Shuaibu, asked national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, to resign. Making the era of John Odigie-Oyegun look like the party’s golden age, Shuaibu said Oshiomhole had failed and brought nothing but grief and misery to the party. In the meantime, Oshiomhole, who you can bet on my dime would return fire, has trained his own gun elsewhere. He aimed at the Supreme Court judgement, accusing the court of stretching technicalities, rather than the substance of the law to ridiculous limits, and by so doing imposing strangers on the people of Zamfara, as if their misery at the hands of bandits was not enough. I don’t know what Oshiomhole wanted the Supreme Court to do, but if the Court indeed imposed strangers on the people of Zamfara, then the APC opened the door and offered the strangers front seats. This is one of the states in the North where the opposition PDP has never won elections since the beginning of the Fourth Republic 20 years ago. It’s been solid anti-PDP, along with Borno and Yobe, before party shenanigans opened the door. The former governor, Abdulaziz Yari, is the strangerin-chief. He spent more time in Abuja either looking after himself or looking after the Governor’s Forum than he spent in Gusau. And instead of going quietly after his eight wasted years, he insisted on imposing a successor on the long-suffering people of the state. It was the fight between Yari and another desperado, Senator Kabir Marafa, that would wreck the party, with the two men calling God as witness that their selfish notion of justice had not been served. Surely, Oshiomohle remembers that there were no primaries in Zamfara after Yari threatened that anyone from the party’s headquarters who came to the state to conduct one would not return to Abuja alive. Rather than face Yari and Marafa – the party’s nemesis in Zamfara – and confront allegations of serious corruption in the primaries (with some people spending as much as N4billion, according multiple credible sources), Oshiomhole has chosen the soft and convenient target: the

Supreme Court. Zamfara was the metaphor of APC’s catastrophic primaries in a number of states and Oshiomhole cannot pretend otherwise. In Delta, Imo, Rivers, Adamawa, Ogun and Lagos, it was a shambolic spectre of bribes, shady deals, intimidation, blackmail and rules-bending in varying degrees, with the national secretariat worsted in all outcomes. Yet, party secretariat turmoil has a fairly long recent history; a culture that often produces temporary pleasure and comfort for the instigators, but ultimately, never ends well. Like many bad habits in the last two decades, former President Olusegun Obasanjo was the first major exponent of meddling in party affairs and later, hijacking the party completely. A former PDP governor told me on Tuesday that it was under Solomon Lar, the first Chairman of the PDP, that the office of party chairman became a tollgate – something that might never have happened had Sunday Awoniyi emerged the chairman of the party. The former governor said after party primaries had been conducted and winners announced, it was common, under Lar, to find an unexpected letter from the chairman’s office nominating a completely different candidate or list of candidates, and saying, “This letter substitutes any previous letter you may have received on this matter.” To checkmate this problem, Obasanjo who had just been drafted by the military to run for office, mobilised ten governors who confronted Lar and apart from “imposing” Obasanjo’s running mate (Atiku Abubakar) on Lar, also paved the way for Obasanjo to demand his resignation. After Lar’s execution, Obasanjo increasingly took control of the party to the point where he got former governor James Ibori and co to amend the party’s constitution which then vested him with the position of chairman of the BOT – the party’s alpha and omega – apart from being president. His initial intention was to bend the party to his will, but over time interference became entrenched and widespread. The habit festered, infecting not only the PDP but also other political parties, which were, to be honest, the PDP’s Siamese cousins. As politicians crossed and crisscrossed carpet, the habit of malicious interference in the party secretariat mutated to the point these days where government officials think they are in charge of the party and party officials think they are in charge of the government. When, for example, Oshiomhole stepped into line, displacing the chief of defence staff, to receive Presidentelect Muhammadu Buhari at the Eagles Square on Wednesday, he didn’t mean any harm. He was just overwhelmed by Freudian grandeur; grandeur that has not only blurred party-government lines, but which has also conquered it. Yet, an important distinction in style remains: if Obasanjo reduced the party to a mere pawn, Buhari’s aloofness has created a mushroom of aggressively contending power centres and radical cells, with each centre or cell eager to use the party to its own advantage. And that advantage means only one thing: getting power at any cost. I can understand Oshiomhole thinking that the Supreme Court is his problem. He’s probably too occupied with mourning his party’s current loss and the blemish on his record as chairman to see that the problem goes much deeper. I can also understand Shuaibu asking Oshiomhole to resign. He’s too concerned about the party’s numerical nightmare, not to mention Oshiomhole’s grating style, to see that the problem goes much deeper. Until the party becomes more than a mere vehicle to get power for its own sake; until it has some clear organising principles, develops and honours a system that keep its leaders honest and accountable, it would continue to drift. And it requires more than taking a stab at the Supreme Court, playing musical chairs with the party leadership or asking for Oshiomhole’s head, to fix the broken system. The party must find its soul.

OUR POSITION Tackling the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria

he devastating consequences of drug use know no geographic, economic, social, or ethnic boundaries. Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the globe – rich, poor, educated, illiterate, male, female, and even young children die from drug abuse, and millions more are victims of addiction and drug-fueled violence. Beyond the toll drugs take on health and welfare, substance use disorders undermine economic development, diminishes social and political stability, and reduces security in countries and regions around the world. It is no longer news that 70% of youth in Nigeria today get themselves involved in one form of drug abuse or the other. Amidst the widespread commendations over the ban of codeine by the Federal Government, a new large-scale nationwide survey has revealed that drug use by people within the ages of 15 and 64 years in Nigeria is on the rise. A survey on drug use in Nigeria last year had revealed that the nation is breeding a wild generation of drug addicts. This gory state of affairs of substance abuse calls for the declaration of a state of emergency, considering the fact that the youth population is the fulcrum of national development. The nationwide survey by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) funded by European Union (EU) in partnership with the Federal Government said 10.6 million Nigerians abused cannabis in 2018, while 4.6 million abused opiods. The report said that 2.4 million youths and adults also abused cough syrups with 92,000 more using cocaine. Other drugs commonly abused during the period are tranquilizers and sedatives, solvent, inhalers, amphetamines and prescription stimulants. This survey also reports that one of four drug users in Nigeria is a woman. Adding that the extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high compared to previous global annual prevalence of any drug abuse use. Basically, youths in the country inhale, inject and consume psychotic and narcotic substances and drugs at will, easily evading the scrutiny of a society distracted by economic malaise at the expense of their future wellbeing. Truth be told, the impact of drug abuse is lethal. Many families are contending with drug addicts; some of them have quit schooling and work; others are on the verge of lunacy or battling with acute

diseases. The number of drug users in Nigeria is estimated at 14.4 per cent or 14.3 million people aged between 15 and 64 years according to the results of the National Drug Use Survey. The data suggests that the prevalence of past year drug use in Nigeria is more than twice the global average of 5.6 per cent. The extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high when compared with the 2016 global annual prevalence of any drug use of 5.6 per cent among the adult population. There is a gap in meeting the needs for treatment and care for people with drug use disorders. With close to three million Nigerians living with some level of drug dependence, the extremely limited availability of drug counselling and treatment services exacerbates this health crisis. This is indeed striking and alarming and calls for concerted efforts to mitigate the negative consequences of this rising menace on the health, socio-economic and security of our nation. Even though the Federal Government has over the years responded boldly to this global challenge with innovative, standard-setting drug demand reduction programs, we are of the opinion that there is need to solve the problem. Awareness programmes need to be developed to address the perception of stigma among the youth and their families over substance use and to remove barriers towards seeking care for these problems. These programmes should also address the inability of the youth to perceive addictive behaviours as a health risk. Parents and support persons’ involvement and engagement in youth programmes should be strengthened further as it improves communication and better decision-making for youth health issues. Family-based prevention programmes emphasising parenting skills, training or improving family functioning, communication and family rules regarding substance abuse needs to be introduced. Also, teachers are a major source of information to young people. Hence, strengthening the role and performance of educational institutions, ensuring availability of counselling services, gender sensitivity issues, making life skills courses a part of curriculum are required for health and welfare of young people. Most importantly, in all youth related programmes, young people should be involved and engaged to empower them to take informed decisions.

A’Court reinstates Nwaoboshi as senator-elect for Delta North Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Court of Appeal, Abuja on Thursday reinstated Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as the validly elected senator for Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly election held on February 23. The Federal High court in Abuja had in April nullified Sen. Nwaoboshi election and declared Ned Nwoko as the winner of the said election. But, the Court of Appeal in a unanimous judgement set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court delivered by Justice Ahmed Mohammed and struck out Nwoko’s suit for being statute barred at the time the suit was filed at the lower court. Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Baba Idris held that “by the time the matter was instituted, the action was statute barred having commenced outside the 14 days allowed by the law.

This appeal is allowed, consequently the order of the lower court is set aside and the suit is struck out.” Justice Idris also dismissed the preliminary objection filed by Nwoko, challenging the competent of appeal, declaring that the objection lacks merit. Equally struck out is the notice filed by Nwoko’s counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), who wanted to give further reasons why the high court’s ruling should be upheld, Justice Idris saying that the notice was filed out of time. Other justices on the panel are Justice Adamu Jauro and Justice Emmanuel Agim, who all agreed with the lead judgment. Our correspondent recalls that the Court of Appeal had on May 23, reserved judgment after Sen. Nwaoboshi’s lawyer, Anthony Idigbe (SAN) and Nwoko’s lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN) adopted their briefs. At the hearing of the appeal, Idigbe

(SAN) had urged the appellate court to uphold the appeal and restate Sen. Nwaoboshi as the senator- elect for Delta North Senatorial District. He said that two issues were involved in the appeal. First, is whether the case as filed by Ned Nwoko at the Federal High Court was a preelection matter and statute barred at the time it was filed. The appellant lawyer therefore, asked the court to consider the reliefs which were sought by the respondent whose main prayer is seeking a declaration that he won the PDP primary which was not granted by the lower court. He further urged the appellate court to look at the result sheet of the primary election that was tendered by both the appellant and Nwoko at the lower court, maintaining that the suit being a preelection matter was first filed at the Federal Capital Territory High Court after the 14 days allowed by law had elapsed.

Senate confirms Sadiq as president, FCT Customary Court of Appeal Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate has confirmed Justice Abubakar Musa Sadiq as President of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Customary Court of Appeal. The confirmation of Justice Sadiq, a nominee of President Muhammadu Buhari was concluded in less than fifteen minutes after the President’s letter seeking the confirmation of his appointment was read on the floor of the Senate on Thursday. To accelerate the confirmation, the Senate suspended its rule which stipulates that Justice Sadiq’s nomination should have been referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary for screening. Deputy Senate President, Ike

Ekweremadu, who presided over plenary had earlier read a letter from the President seeking Senate’s confirmation of Justice Sadiq. Senate Leader, Sen. Ahmed Lawan moved Order 1(b) of the Senate Rule to shelve the necessary processes giving the timing of the duration of the 8th Senate and the importance of the appointment to national development and effectiveness of the judiciary. While urging the Senate to confirm the nomination at the committee of the whole, Sen. Lawan also moved for the suspension of Senate Order 17 to allow the Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang lead the nominee into the Senate

chamber Justice Sadiq after reading his brief resume was asked to take a bow while the Senate upon reverting back to plenary confirmed his appointment. Appreciating his colleagues for taking the confirmation in the overall interest of the nation, the Senate leader said the Senate has demonstrated the importance of harmonious relationship among the three arms of government. He said it was commendable that the National Assembly could suspend its rule for an accelerated confirmation of an appointee of the executive. Sen. Lawan therefore, urged the judiciary not to let the nation down, but to continue to be the bastion of hope to all Nigerians.

Don’t downgrade Enugu airport, Short News Senate urge Federal Government C’River SUBEB uncovers N1.3bn fraud plot Tunde Opalana, Abuja To ensure adequate and effective services to air travelers to the south eastern part of the country, the Senate on Thursday urged the Federal Government and Federal Ministry of Aviation not to consider downgrading Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. Rather, the Senate called for rehabilitation of the airport’s runway for the safety of passengers and aircrafts, completion of the new terminal building of the airport and put it in use by local and foreign airlines. The Senate also urged the aviation Ministry to develop a water source with the nearby Ekulu River for the use of the airport. However, the red chamber adopted an additional prayer

asking the Minister of Aviation to return back to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, a generating set moved to the Port Harcourt airport during a project commissioning. These prayers followed a motion co-sponsored by 15 Senators from the southeast, south South and north central on the threat to downgrade Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. Senator representing Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, who moved the motion said, the Senate was aware of the threat by the former Minister of State Aviation, Mr. Hadi Sirika that the airport would be downgraded because of what he considered as imminent dangers posed to air travelers. This according to him was the presence of a nearby market, a state radio mast on the flight path of airlines that threatens the safety of incoming aircrafts;

an abattoir, which attracted large birds and exposed airplanes to bird strikes; the location of a free trade zone and the decrepit state of the runway. The Senate appreciated the concern of the minister over the safety of air passengers and airplanes using the airport which currently serves travellers from Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi,Kogi, Benue and Cross River states and for his assertion that Enugu is to the East what Kaduna is to the North being the major connecting link to South Eastern states. The Senate appreciated efforts of the Enugu State government in removing those structures that the Minister considered as major challenges hampering the smooth operation of the airport. Senators Shehu Sani, Barnabas Gemade, Kabiru Gaya, Sam Anyanwu, Tayo Aladoadura and Chukwuka Utazi took turn to support the motion.

Fayemi demands construction of 330KV sub-stations in Ekiti Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti In a bid to shore up electricity supply in Ekiti State, Governor Kayode Fayemi, has demanded the construction of 330 KV sub-stations from Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), to boost power supply in the State. Fayemi regretted that epileptic power supply to Ekiti was affecting economic growth, by having adverse effects on small and medium scale enterprises. Speaking at a meeting with the management of TCN on Thursday, Fayemi who was represented by the Commissioner for Public Utilities, Engr. Bamidele Faparusi, said that Ekiti now has a friendly government that is willing to collaborate with relevant agencies to bring development to the state . He said:”power supply in Ekiti is very worrisome and it is bothering every

indigene of the state because, it seems Ekiti is the least served state in Nigeria, as the transmission infrastructure in the state is unacceptable. “At present, Ekiti with a population of 3.5 million people is being served with 26 megawatts from the national grid which is grossly inadequate. We have just one 132 KV substation in Ekiti while some states can boost of three while some more than three. Even the 132KV substations are not operating at a full capacity; it is being underutilized.” Fayemi expressed disappointment over while Ekiti was left behind in national developmental projects, while its neighbouring states like Kogi, Osun and Ondo are benefiting. Fayemi said, “When we resumed office and looked at the archives, we noticed that, there was a lot of communication between TCN and Ekiti state government between 2014 to 2015 which supposed to translate to the construction of the 330KV substation

in the state, but that communication stopped in October 2015. “It is unfortunate that, the government at that time was very hostile and was not relating well with federal agencies. For that, we will exonerate TCN from the blame. But now that we have a very friendly government in place, It is time for TCN to come back to Ekiti” Speaking further, he said: “The government is already working on the Certificate of Occupancy and would soon hand it over to TCN management for immediate action. The government is willing to support TCN to deliver on this project, he said”. The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TCN, Mr. Usman Gur Muhammed said Ekiti state is very close to his heart as they have already discussed the issue of bringing a 330 KV to state before the visit. He assured that TCN will expedite action to see that Ekiti state has its 330KV substation.

IPOB sit-at-home order cripples business activities in Asaba Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Business including, academic activities were grounded on Thursday in Asaba, the Delta state capital as residents stayed at home in obedience to the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) sit at home order. IPOB had threatened to hold massive protests and asked residents of the South -South, South -East regions to sit at home come May 30, while security agencies advised residents of the affected zones to ignore the directive and go about their normal businesses. But, in Asaba and environs, business and academic activities were paralyzed as virtually

all the streets were deserted, just as the popular commercial buses plying the ever busy AsabaOnistha route disappeared from the roads. At the popular Ogbeogonogo Market, it was the same story as the market which used to be a beehive of commercial activities was a shadow of itself while few traders who did not heed the sit at home order huddled together making idle talk without opening their shops. However, reacting to the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Onome Onovuwakpoyeya, reiterated the commitment of the police to protect lives and property in the state, adding that the police will deal decisively with any trouble- maker.

“The police will deal decisively with any trouble- maker in the state; the police will protect the lives and property of the people in the state and the police is not perturbed about the IPOB threats, we will maintain law and order,” the PPRO added. A trader, Igwe Ignatius, who spoke to journalists, said that the IPOB is the only solution to the problem in the country, adding that it might be long, but IPOB would achieve its dreams for the country. “Many of us in Asaba are Biafra IPOB and today is our day; it’s just a delay, but we must get there. IPOB is the only solution to the problems in Nigeria, “he boasted.

Labour praises opposition for embracing Fayemi’s peace moves Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Ekiti state Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Sola Adigun has said the acceptance of the olive branch extended by Governor Kayode Fayemi to major opposition figures after his victory at the Supreme Court confirms that Nigeria’s democracy is gradually maturing. Fayemi had last week after the apex court dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the July 14 poll, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, appealed to opposition to join forces with him to build a virile state that would be economically strong and politically stable. Shortly after the plea, Olusola had in a statement he personally signed congratulated Gov. Fayemi on his victory, urging him to focus attention on those things that will unite the state and bring democracy dividends to the people. The TUC boss in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Thursday observed that the acceptance of the verdict by the major political actors in the state had reinforced the people’s

belief in the fact that the ruling elite are now committed to the sustenance of democracy. Adigun congratulated Gov. Fayemi on his victory which he said coincided with the two decades of the country’s return to civil rule. “The apex court’s verdict has lain to rest the conflict about the actual winner of the Ekiti people’s mandate of July 14, 2018. I charge the governor that the electoral and judicial victories were indeed, second opportunity to put to use his long years training as a pro -democracy activist and development expert to make Ekiti great. “He must live by his words that he will be magnanimous in victory by being receptive to diverse opinions, suggestions and criticisms from the opposition figures, as that will add glamour to our fledgling democracy. “The slogan of reclaiming the land and restoring the values which Fayemi adopted should manifest in all spheres of human capital development and infrastructure, particularly education which is a sector that deals with the remoulding of life,” the labour leader said. Meanwhile, the National Chairman of

the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS), Comrade Dam Omaji has commended the federal government for the establishment of the National Secondary Schools Commission. A statement made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti, reiterated that the establishment of the commission was a product of the long drawn advocacy by stakeholders in the education sector. Omaji added that ASUSS was convinced that the commission will improve the quality of secondary education in terms of unified and regulated curriculum. “It will also improve the recruitment of qualified personnel into the teaching service as well as improve government funding in the sector. We call on the federal government to make appointment of membership of the commission competitive so as to pave way for the emergence of professionals who would drive the process. “Government must ensure that practising and retired secondary schools tutors who are the direct stakeholders of the sector, as well as representatives of tested parents should be considered for such appointments,” he said.

Cultists allegedly kill polytechnic staff in Ogwashi - Uku Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Considering the fact that you are a new business those items are not so easy and cheap for you to acquire. “However, the presentations we have seen today shows how gifted Nigeria is with human resources, our youths have demonstrated that the country still has a beautiful future. “I am impressed with the start-ups, after six weeks of drilling and grooming they have been able to develop up to this point; everyone is a winner tonight as far as I am concerned. “Based on the success of this maiden edition we are going to continue this initiative, we would go back to our laboratory and create something bigger for the upcoming editions.” When asked what he felt about Artificial Intelligence being used in banks, he explained: “Technology has been playing a key role towards enhancing the banking sector. Thus, we saw the need to create an Artificial Intelligence product called Octopus, which has been piloted and its second edition is almost ready for launching. On his part, the Co-founder TREP Labs, Alayande Abiola, said, “Emerging as first place and winning the ten million naira is going to help the growth of our clinical solutions. “Now we would be able to complete our clinical trials, optimise the development of our products and also provide enough healthcare solutions that are battling with the country.” Earlier, the bank’s Divisional Head Innovation and Partnership, Ikenna Imo, said “Twelve weeks ago we welcomed seven talented and diverse start-ups, at that time our intentions were clear that we were ready to create distinctive propositions that solves issues facing the country currently. “Today, I have no doubts that the start-ups we have assembled after a selective and competitive process have what it takes to accomplish”, he explained.

Declining GDP: Recession looms amid poor consumer purchasing power - IMC Experts Godwin Anyebe Stakeholders in the Integrated Marketing Communications, IMC, have expressed fear that Nigeria may plunge into a second recession in 2019 which would further affect consumer purchasing power in the country. This is coming as a result of the recent slow in the country’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP, to 2.01 per cent growth. Expressing fears over the possibility of a second recession in the country, the Managing Director, BrandEye Media, Femi Adelusi, attributed his fears to the information from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), adding that the situation was so because Nigeria’s population continues to grow ahead of the GDP that keeps dropping on constant basis. “There is a fear based on the information we are getting from CBN that we might get into another recession. We hope it won’t happen, but currently, we have been growing at about 2bper cent on GDP and that is not good at all. The continual drop

should be an area of concern and the rate of population growth is compounding the development.” “As long as you have a population growth that is ahead of the GDP, it is almost inevitable and the cost of borrowing and a lot of things are high. More so, the government investment is low; Foreign Direct Investment is reducing while our debt profile is rising. So, all of these factors are impacting negatively on the state of the economy and if we are not careful, unfortunately, we might get into another recession,” Mr Adelusi warned. Also speaking, the Managing Director, X3M Ideas, Steve Babaeko, said that if Nigeria plunges into a second recession, the country would be in serious economic crisis. Mr Babaeko said: “If that happens again, you know that we would be in serious trouble. I mean it because even when we are not in recession, it is just as if we are in a recession. So going back to the recession now will be one pain too much for Nigerians to bear.” On her part, the Founder/Chief

Executive Officer (CEO), Neukleos Bukola Akingbade, stressed that the economy was not stable at the moment, noting that consumers are trading down and it was affecting businesses in the country. According to Mrs Akingbade such scenario has made most manufacturing companies to introduce new Stock Keeping Unit, SKUs in smaller sachets. Asked how the drop in GDP would affect the consumers, she had this to say: ”Consumer purchasing power does not come from the moon; it is about what is in the environment. What do you have to recreate wealth? How much do you have extra at the moment that the economy is pretty tight? A lot of people are trading down, for example, if I have N10 000 I will not spend it the same way I spent it two years ago.” “I will say instead of buying this expensive toilet roll, let me buy a cheaper one. I will still do what I want to do by spending less. A lot of the FMCG brands have gotten new SKUs because the tough times are real. People used to buy smaller portions before they buy monthly supply.

But now they buy per time or per week and those are the things that we have been seeing and it is going to continue.” Corroborating Akingbade’s assertion, the Group Managing Director, Verdant Zeal Group, Tunji Olugbodi, hinted that the drop in the GDP would affect not just the consumer purchasing power but also consumer confidence and interest. He, however, called on the government to diversify its interest to non-oil sectors, stressing that the creative industry could generate a lot of revenue to the government if they focus on it. “The drop in the GDP will not just affect the consumer purchasing power but also consumer confidence and interest and once that happens, we need to be very careful. That is why we are saying that number one, let’s move totally away from oil. Let’s start looking out for those things that make us who we are, so we use what we have to get what we want. Obviously, we are very good when it comes to creative stuff; we are very good when it comes to looking at our God-given endorsement in the creative arts would be able to entertain people.”

Nigeria spends N11trn for subsidy amid wobble refineries performance Motolani Oseni Due to the poor performance of Nigeria’s local refineries, not less than N11trillion has been paid for outstanding subsidy claims in the last six years. Chairman, Senate committee on petroleum downstream, Kabir Marafa, on Thursday disclosed that the Senate approved the payment of N129 billion as outstanding subsidy claims to 67 petroleum marketers. He explained that the approval followed the adoption of the report of its Committee on Petroleum Downstream on the Promissory Note Programme and a Bond Issuance for Oil Marketers Outstanding Claims. However, Nigeria’s refineries

including the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company did not refine any crude oil from February 2018 to January this year, the latest data obtained from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation showed. Also, the Port Harcourt Refining Company was idle from July 2018 to January this year. In fact, the last time the PHRC was functional was June last year when it processed 237,875 metric tonnes of crude, while the KRPC processed 21,855MT in January 2018. An analysis of NNPC’s latest monthly financial and operations report for January 2019 also showed that of the country’s three refineries managed by the corporation, only the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company was able to process some

volumes of crude oil from January 2018 to January this year. Between January 2018 and January 2019, the WRPC only recorded zero capacity utilisation in January, September and October, in 2018. In January this year, the Warri refinery processed 104,459MT of crude and posted a capacity utilisation of 19.76 per cent. The combined capacity utilisation of the refineries in January this year was put at 5.5 per cent. President Muhammadu Buhari government had promised to increase the performance or output of the nation’s refineries to about 90 per cent by 2019. But this did not materialise during the first term of the President, which elapsed on Wednesday, May 29, 2019.

Court orders reinstatement of suspended SEC DG, Gwarzo The National Industrial Court, Abuja, on Thursday ordered the immediate reinstatement of Mounir Gwarzo, the suspended directorgeneral of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), back to his position. Justice Sanusi Kado, in his judgment, held that the minister of finance, named as the second defendant in the suit, lacked the power to suspend the claimant. Kado, who dismissed three issues raised by defence counsel through their preliminary objection, ruled that the suit was not status barred. He held that since there was a cause of action in the claimant’s suit, he (the claimant) had the right to commence the suit by way of originating summon. Kado further held that the issue in dispute was not about the position of the claimant as the DG of the Commission, the bone of contention was who had the power to suspend him. The judge held that the second defendant (Minister of Finance) did not have the power to suspend the claimant since he was not an employee of the commission. He said that the minister, in the absence of the board, only had supervisory power, which does

not include disciplinary power to suspend the DG. Kado held that it was only the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, on the directive of the president, who had the power of suspension. For emphasis, he said, “the minister’s role was that of recommendation.” Kado, in addition, said the Administrative Panel of Inquiry that indicted the claimant was not a court of law; neither was it a quasijudicial body, but just a body set up for a fact-finding duty. He, therefore, declared that the suspension of the claimant was null, void and of no effect. Kado also declared that the recommendation of the Administrative Panel of Inquiry set up by the second defendant, be set aside. The judge then ordered the reinstatement of the claimant as the DG of SEC to complete his five-year tenure. He further ordered that the claimant’s salaries, allowances and entitlements accrued should be paid to him in full. Kemi Adeosun, the former finance minister, on November 29, 2017, suspended Mr Gwarzo and

set up an administrative panel of inquiry to investigate allegations of financial impropriety levelled against him. Gwarzo was accused of collecting severance package worth N104.85 million while still in service in violation of the civil service rules. The minister said Gwarzo was suspended from office to allow for an unhindered investigation. Gwarzo however, in June 2018 approached the court to challenge his suspension. He sought for various reliefs from the defendant amongst which was an order of the court reinstating him as the DG of the Commission. He also sought for an order of the court for the payment of all his entitlements, emoluments, allowances and other perquisites of the office of DG of SEC for the entire period he was under suspension. Gwarzo equally sought for an order of court setting aside the entire proceedings of the Administrative Panel of Inquiry constituted by the minister. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) had charged Gwarzo along with an Executive Commissioner in the commission, Zakawanu Garuba.

ECOWAS says it is set to implement its Regional Tourism Policy that would ensure viable tourism development and enhance the overall economic growth in the region. This was made known during the presentation of the report of the Joint Committee at the ongoing Ordinary Session of its parliament in Abuja on Thursday. News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the joint committee is on Trade, Customs and Free Movement, and Legal and Judicial Affairs. The report presented was relating to the referral of the commission on ECOWAS Regional Tourism Policy and ECOTOUR Action Plan 19 to Plan 29. The policy plan is to be adopted by the commission for the period of 2019 to 2029. The policy aims to harmonise tourism development in the region to increase youth employment and private sector participation through the development of sustainable businesses thus contributing to economic growth.

The policy approach would also focus on heritage protection and preservation, ensuring the professionalism of stakeholders and harmonisation and compliance with technical specifications by private operators. It would also focus on the creation of an intraregional market and the promotion of both the ECOWAS destination and the ECOWAS Vision 2020. The committee, in its report, noted that the ECOTOUR 19 to 29 action plan served as a roadmap for the implementation of the regional policy. The objective of the action plan is to make the region a first-class tourist destination in Africa. The committee, however, observed that the high costs of travel and accommodation and security challenges discouraged local tourism in the region. Members of parliament also urged governments to speedily address challenges militating against regional growth and development to ensure the success of the policy plan. The joint committee further recommended the referral for the adoption of the plenary.

SEPLAT contributes 30% of Nigeria’s domestic gas supply – Director Micheal Ajayi Operations Director, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, Effiong Okon, said that the company contributes about 30 per cent of the domestic gas supply in Nigeria. Okon stated this while delivering a keynote address at the Africa Exploration & Production (E&P) the summit in London, adding that the opening has been a boast to the company’s performance on the local scene. “Given the huge opportunity in Nigeria, the company has continued to make a significant investment of well over $300 million in growing its gas business resulting to its massive current daily production capacity”, he said. The Director added that there are plans to improve this sector through projects that are embarked on by the company, “In addition to these, our Sapele Gas Plant upgrade and Assa North-Ohaji South (ANOH) project is to add 315MMscfd capacity by 2020”, he said. While delivering his keynote, Okon enunciated the accrued positivity for the oil and gas sector in Africa, according to him, 2019 looks promising for Africa with discoveries in South Africa, Egypt and Angola. “Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies, some of them lifted by new oil and gas discoveries”, he stated. “Records have shown that Africa holds an estimated 7.5 per cent of global proven oil reserves, about 126.5billion barrels and 7.1 per cent of global proven gas reserves about 487.8 trillion cubic feet”. He said: “Oil and gas play a strategic role in the economies of African countries giving them power and influence on the world stage and this trend is likely to continue with new discoveries in Ghana, Egypt,

Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Mozambique and Uganda. These opportunities have attracted the oil majors with increasing participation of indigenous oil companies’’. Okon said the appetite for African oil and gas is still growing and continues to present significant investment opportunities. Investors are attracted to the many recent and ongoing bid rounds in the continent. “Most of the oil majors and the independent companies have continued to flourish with some exporting not just oil but also gas out of the continent. Most companies had to strategize portfolio balancing after the recent downturn in oil price. Assets have been changing hands between the oil majors and the Independents,” he said. Some challenges, according to him, still, exist despite the significant discoveries and impressive production of oil and gas across the continent, which has a good balance of oil and gas. He said Africa has a good balance of oil and gas but still faces the challenge of importing the refined products with the lack of sufficient refining capacity. “A lot of people in Africa still does not have access to electricity. Lack of adequate infrastructure also still presents a problem. These challenges present huge opportunities for gas development and investment. As a result, a company like Seplat has remained bullish with its gas development. Seplat with a strategic location on the gas hub in the Niger Delta, facilitates its gas development”, he added. According to him, the growing need for capital for emerging infrastructure such as refining and transportation of petroleum commodities and products and the development of robust petrochemical industry, place the continent at a vantage point for investments.

Lagos governor, Sanwo-Olu resumes, asks civil servants for rededication to duty Benjamin Omoike The New Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu yesterday resumed his first day in office with an inspection tour of the Alausa Secretariat, where he met with the state workforce. It was a rousing welcome for the newly sworn in Governor and his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat by civil servants at the state Secretariat, Civil servants in the various ministries were gathered outside their offices awaiting the arrival of the governor. Posters and banners with inscriptions: “A New Dawn”, “Welcome”, “Now a New Lagos Begins”, were displayed by the workers. The first Ministry he visited was the Ministry of

the Environment attached with the Ministry of Physical Panning and Urban Development, and Lands Bureau. Addressing the workers, Sanwo-Olu charged them to rededicate themselves to service and absolute commitment to the development agenda of the government. According to him, civil servants play fundamental roles in the success of every administration and they should be encouraged. He urged workers to reciprocate the gesture through hard work and dedication to duty so as to attract more interventions from the government, promising to look into the transportation system of the workforce, promising to provide 30 to 40 new buses to improve the fleet. He said: “I am excited to be here this morning. We decided to come here first because of the critical arm you control here. The Environment, the Lands department, Physical

Planning, SurveyorGeneral’s office, these are the critical things that people are asking us to work better on. “So we will from day one say to Lagosians that new things should begin to happen. Yes there are issues, there will be issues, there will be challenges but out of it, looking at all your faces, you cannot all afford at this time to fail the citizens. “So, my charge is this, whatever we know that we are not doing too well, even in the period of Ramadan, let us ask God for forgiveness. Let us turn a new leaf and let us be that change that we are asking for. I know that when we take care of you, you will take care of Lagosians .So those are the promises I want to draw from all of you. “I know the challenges you face, but let us begin to think and innovate how we are going to bake a bigger cake. Let us begin to think out of the box,” he said. Sanwo-Olu assured that issues around the minimum wage would be sorted in earnest saying, “I will ensure your take home will be taking you home. But Lagosians have to feel you from day one, from the way we speak to them, the way we take their records. Henceforth, we should reflect it.”

APC chieftain congratulates Buhari, Osinbajo on second term swearing in Urges them not to abandon people oriented programmes

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Idemudia Osolase Innocent has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for their successful swearing into office for a second term, describing the event as a sign of greater things to come. The Benin and Abuja based politicians also commended the Buhari –led administration for what he said was its landmark achievements in the last four years, saying that what the government achieved in its first four years was a clear indication that the next four years hold greater promise for the country. Idemudia said he was elated by the achievements of the APC

led administration in the areas of security, economy and anticorruption, noting that the ability of the government to curtail the Boko Haram insurgency to a region of the country, making it impossible for it to hold a part of the country against what obtains before their coming was something to cheer about. He added, “look at what is happening in the anti corruption sector, many of the high profile cases you hear today in our various courts is unprecedented, never before have you heard of a former governor being sent to jail, but as we speak there are two former governors in jail and I am sure more are to follow.” He also assured that the

seeming security challenges in parts of the country presently, like the issue of kidnapping, herdsmen farmers crisis among others are being seriously addressed by the government and that he was confident that in a short while things will begin to take a new positive turn. Chief Idemudia however appealed to the government to ensure that it does not abandon some of their people oriented programmes like market moni, trader moni, the anchor borrowers scheme among others, saying that such programs have had tremendous impact on the lives of the people and many more Nigerians are still looking forward to benefitting from them.

Bayelsa State governor and Chairman Peoples Democratic (PDP) Governors Forum, the Hon Henry Seriake Dickson, has said that the attack on the Judiciary by some political actors was a threat to the nation’s foundation and the development of democratic governance in the country. The governor said that the onslaught on judiciary was aimed at weakening and destroying its independence which should be condemned. A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media Relations, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, quoted Governor Dickson as having made the comment during the swearing-in of two new High Court Judges at Government House, Yenagoa. Those sworn-in are, Justice Ineikinimi Uzakah, a former Registrar of the High Court, and Justice Abasi Youngman, former Acting Director, Civil Litigation Department, Ministry of Justice. The governor, who called on Nigerians to give the necessary support and encouragement to the Judiciary as an independent arm of government, said that the importance of judiciary to the growth of democracy cannot be over emphasized as the Judges are the final arbiter in disputes between individuals and organisations under the Nigerian constitution. His words: “Today I want to use the opportunity to call on the political leaders our country not to tear down our Judiciary, not to tear down the place of the Judiciary in their quest for power, domination and control because by so doing, you will be tearing down the foundations of our country. “The constitution under which all of us have been brought together has created

room for all organs of government, the same constitution that vest control of resources, for example, on a federation, that same constitution has prescribed a role and a place for our judiciary to be an impartial arbiter.” He applauded the nation’s courts, especially the Apex Court for displaying courage despite being faced with difficult circumstances and harsh environment to administer justice in accordance with expectations. Governor Dickson who described the newly sworn-in High Court Judges as gentlemen reminded them of the high nature and calling of the office, and urged them to use the law as a shield for the people and administer it to all irrespective of status. “Today is a thing of joy where two worthy gentlemen have been elevated to the bench with enough experience acquired. So I charge and remind you of the high nature and calling of the office and remind you also to administer justice to all our people who come to your court. “Remember to use the law as a shield of our people and not to use the law to add to the terrible condition and circumstances under which our people live. The law should be a servant of our people, the law should be a defendant of our people, it should be invoked for the right causes and justice should be administered to all irrespective of status”. Also, the Bayelsa State Chief Executive commended the leadership provided by the state Chief Judge, Justice Kate Abiri, and praised the Judiciary in the state as one of the most stable, productive, hardworking and reputable in the country. e called for elevation of more Judges to decongest the work load of Judges in order to ensure speedy dispensation of cases.

DR Congo forces kill 26 rebels in Ebola zone near Beni Congolese forces have killed 26 rebels from a group thought to be linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), while repelling an attack in the country’s east Ebola zone, the army has said. The exchange in fire took place on Thursday in a village near the city of Beni, an area where more than a dozen different militia groups and associated armed gangs operate, and the epicentre of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s worst-ever Ebola epidemic. The army’s spokesman for east Congo, General Leon-Richard Kasonga, said fighters from the

Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) attacked a position in Ngite village and that soldiers returned fire and pursued them. “Twenty-six rebels were neutralised by the army, and their bodies recovered,” he told reporters in Goma. The ADF has never claimed allegiance to ISIL, but witnesses said the Congolese group carried out an attack last month in nearby Bovata, which ISIL claimed. ISIL described that attack as its first in what it called the “Central Africa Province” of the “Caliphate” - the name it gave to

the area of Syria and Iraq that it controlled for several years from 2014. The ADF arose in western Uganda in 1995 under the leadership of Jamil Mukulu, a Christian-turnedMuslim. Forced out of Uganda, it operates in the border area in the DRC’s North Kivu province, an area where other armed groups are also active. It has been blamed for recruiting and using child soldiers, killing hundreds of civilians since 2014, as well as 15 Tanzanian peacekeepers who died in an attack in December

2017. Rival armed groups remain active in pockets of east Congo long after the official end of a 1998-2003 war in which millions of people died, mostly from hunger and disease. Insecurity around Beni is also undermining efforts to contain the Ebola epidemic, the second worst outbreak in history, which has killed close to 1,300 people since August. Last month, fighters attacked a hospital in the nearby city of Butembo and killed a Cameroonian doctor working for the World Health Organization.

Sudan army says protest site a threat, closes Al Jazeera office

Protesters have been staging a sit-in outside the defence ministry for weeks, pushing the ruling generals to hand over power to civilians

Sudan’s military rulers have said a protest camp in the capital has become a threat to the country’s national security, while also ordering the office of the Al Jazeera Media Network in Khartoum to be shut down, without giving any reason. In a televised statement, a spokesman of the transitional military council said on Thursday that legal action would be taken against what it called “unruly elements” MARGRET

at the encampment outside the defence ministry, where protesters have been staging a sit-in for weeks. “The protest site has become unsafe and represents a danger to the revolution and the revolutionaries and threatens the coherence of the state and its national security,” said General Bahar Ahmed Bahar, head of the central region in Khartoum. He said that a military vehicle used by the

and has since been demanding for the generals who replaced him to hand over power to a civilian-led administration. Separately, security officers informed Al Jazeera of the military council’s decision to close the network’s office in Khartoum. The decision also included the withdrawal of the work permits for the correspondents and staff of the Qatar-based network with immediate effect. In a statement, Al Jazeera denounced the “abrupt” closure of its bureau in Khartoum and the banning of its reporters from reporting in the country, calling it “a complete violation of the freedom of the press”. “The network sees this as an attack on media freedom, professional journalism, and the basic tenets of the right for people to know and understand the reality of what is happening in Sudan,” the statement said. Al Jazeera called for the immediate resumption of operations of its Khartoum bureau and said it would continue its coverage

Tech giants rebuff UK’s WhatsApp spying proposal

Technology giants Apple, Google, Microsoft and WhatsApp have condemned a proposal by the UK’s intelligence agency to eavesdrop on encrypted communication as a “serious threat to cybersecurity” and a “violation of human rights”. In an open letter published on Thursday, an international coalition of 47 signatories jointly urged GCHQ, the country’s security organisation, to abandon its plan to add a silent third-party “ghost” user to messaging applications as a way to monitor end-to-end encrypted services. “The ghost proposal would create digital security risks by undermining authentication systems, by introducing potential unintentional vulnerabilities, and by creating new risks of abuse or misuse of systems,” the letter signed by tech companies and civil society organisations said. This comes after two of the country’s spy chiefs, in a November blog, suggested “silently adding a law enforcement participant to a group chat or call” without undermining user security or privacy. The “ghost key” proposal would enables a third party to see the plain text of an encrypted conversation without notifying the participants. Dismissing the surveillance method, the companies argued that service providers would have to “surreptitiously inject a new public key into a conversation in response to a government demand”, which would turn a two-way conversation into a group chat. The letter added that the proposal, if implemented “will undermine the authentication process that enable users to verify that they are communicating with the right people”. Ian Levy, the technical director of National Cyber Security Centre and a coauthor of the original blog post, welcomed the response. “We will continue to engage with interested parties and look forward to having an open discussion to reach the best solutions possible,” he told TechCrunch and the Financial Times. The UK government has been pressurising digital companies for greater access to clamp down on “terror” suspects. An updated surveillance bill was passed in 2016, giving security and intelligence agencies expansive powers to disrupt “terrorist” attacks. Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp introduced full end-to-endencryption in 2016, meaning all messages, file transfers and voice calls are scrambled between users’ phones. Encryption is also used by Apple’s iMessage and the Signal app. Earlier this month, WhatsApp revealed that it had fixed a bug after spyware crafted by an “advanced cyber actor” infected multiple targeted mobile phones through in-app voice calls.

Eritreans have peace, now they want freedom Abraham T Zere

Today, Eritrea is celebrating its hardwon independence, a victory earned after 30 years of fierce and deadly armed struggle, followed by 20 years of deadlock with neighbouring Ethiopia, after the border conflict of 1998-2000. Like previous years, the Eritrean authorities have made extensive preparations to mark the anniversary with a major festival in the streets of Asmara. But this year, the celebrations will also feature a new element: two mannequins representing Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who in a landmark move last year opened the common border for the first time in 20 years. The regime clearly wants to celebrate the peace agreement and rapprochement with Ethiopia, still brandishing it as a major achievement. However, it will do so under tight security. While roundups, patrols and checkpoints have been routine features of Independence Day security, they have reportedly been significantly boosted this year as a clear warning to the general population. The Eritrean people, who initially also rejoiced at the peace agreement, hoping that the resolution of the cold conflict could bring them much-desired relief, are yet to see any change in their daily lives. For two decades, they had been told that they have to live under a virtual state of emergency because Ethiopia is still posing an “existential threat” to their country and their freedom. All possible justifications for the continuing repression and austerity the regime could manufacture ended with the peace deal, the lifting of UN sanctions and the country’s admission to the UN Human Rights Council. Today, Ethiopia is no longer a threat, given all the documents signed and all the official visits exchanged. Yet the Eritrean president has clearly demonstrated that he will not relax the chokehold he has had the country in for so many years. As a result, little has changed for most Eritreans since last year. After the border with Ethiopia was opened in September 2018, which allowed free movement of goods, the Eritrean market, which had suffered from an acute shortage of goods for years, briefly enjoyed stability and the sharp decline of prices. But over the next eight months, Asmara gradually shut down all border crossings unilaterally without giving an official reason for doing so and put an end to the short-lived trade boom. Having their hopes for economic opening and prosperity quashed, Eritreans have continued to flee the country, resorting to alternative routes to bypass the closed border crossings. Those who make it to neighbouring countries abroad are facing a precarious situation and the risk of having no valid documents, as some Eritrean consular offices have started rejecting requests for issuing passports to nationals who have left illegally after the peace deal with Ethiopia. Meanwhile, mandatory military conscription continues both for the regular army and the “popular army”.

Eritrean President Afwerki attends the country’s Independence Day celebrations in Asmara on May 24, 2007

Conscripts to the latter, both men and women, are required to attend military drills, carry guns, and guard government buildings in night shifts after they are done with their regular government jobs. After the peace deal and following Ethiopia’s announcement of amnesty for political prisoners, Eritreans were hopeful that their government would follow suit. But they wereagain disappointed. Repression continues against the population at large and specific targeted groups. In May, around 140 followers of banned Christian denominations, including minors, were rounded up and taken into custody in Asmara. Since 2002, all religious groups that are not affiliated with the Orthodox, Roman Catholic or Lutheran Protestant churches or Sunni Islam have had to undergo mandatory registration, including giving up personal information of their members. Those who have failed to do so have been persecuted. At the same time, the Eritrean president continues to keep not only the general population in the dark about the peace deal with Ethiopia but also members of his regime. While the agreement was signed on July 9, 2018, in Asmara, Afwerki didn’t bother to conduct his first interview with local media until November 3, 2018. The president took 80 minutes to respond to a few preapproved questions and only addressed regional geopolitics and emphasised that Eritrea is still under threat from its many enemies. Yet neither he nor any regime officials ever addressed any of the domestic implications of the deal. The most important issues for Eritrea’s

general public remain unaddressed: when the indefinite national service will be suspended, the demarcation of border finalised, the rule of law restored and the ban on trade and construction lifted. At the same time, the regime has sought to limit other sources of information Eritreans have been trying to access. In the past few months, the authorities have started trying to jam certain TV channels broadcast from abroadm, including opposition satellite TV Assenna. Since early May, social media has also been blocked in Eritrea with the exception of selected officials and cadres, according to recent reports. Sources within the country have confirmed to me that certain websites are also being blocked, while most internet cafes - where a majority of Eritreans access the internet through a very slow connection (kept so intentionally) - instruct their customers to use proxy servers and VPN. Having seen no improvements in their lives since the peace agreement was signed, Eritreans inside the country are growing increasingly frustrated. There may not have been protests - for those put down almost immediately by security forces - but public anger seems palpable. People who have visited the country recently have shared with me their impression that many citizens are openly voicing their criticism in public places. This was unheard of a year ago. “People are waiting for change more than ever,” a contact from inside Eritrea told me. The revolution in neighbouring Sudan has certainly left its mark. Eritreans have watched carefully the events in Khartoum and have rejoiced at the show of solidarity by Sudanese protesters

with their suffering. Meanwhile, the diaspora has become increasingly active. In January, a social media campaign was launched under the hashtag #EnoughIsEnough which aimed to encourage Eritreans to talk openly about their post-peace-deal demands. The campaign gradually spread across the world and recently resulted in various Eritrean communities holding official meetings to discuss how to bring lasting change to their motherland. Bigger public events in the United States and Canada have also been organised. In Washington, DC, for example, a two-day event is under way that includes public demonstration, seminars, and concerts. Never have the Eritrean diaspora been so united. Until the recent past, regular meetings among the Eritrean opposition, let alone such festivals, were impossible. The turnout was always small, as many feared retaliation against family members back at home. Today, not only there is an unprecedented activity, but also an open conversation about a postAfwerki Eritrea. Up to now, the regime has ruled by fear, violence and endless excuses. Slowly but surely, all justifications for keeping the country in deliberate isolation and austerity are crumbling, while the population is growing increasingly bold in the face of extreme repression. While it is impossible to guess how this anger will express itself, it seems certain now that political change is inevitable in Eritrea. Today, more than ever before, Eritreans are dreaming of celebrating their true liberation. Culled from www.aljazeera.com

FIFA U-20 World Cup: Ukraine top group, Nigeria advance to knockout stage Ukraine and Nigeria played out a 1-1 draw at a chilly Bielsko-Biala Stadium on Thursday to close out Group D at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland. Employing their tried-andtested strategy of congesting the middle with three central defenders, Ukraine frustrated the Flying Eagles attack for much of the first half. Danylo Sikan headed home from close range in the 30th

minute to give Ukraine a 1-0 lead. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin denied Muhamed Tijani’s penalty seconds before halftime, but could not duplicate the feat when Tijani earned another spot-kick in the 47th minute. After VAR confirmed that Denys Popov handled Tijani’s shot on goal, the Nigerian forward fired past Lunin to ensure the two sides shared the

spoils. Already guaranteed a place in the knockout stage, the result earned the Ukrainians top spot in Group D with seven points. A superior goal difference means Nigeria will also continue their World Cup expedition, taking four points from three matches and finishing third in the group. U.S.A, who beat Qatar 1-0 finished second with six points in the group. (NAN)

French Open: Naomi Osaka survives as Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams stroll

Kelechi Iheanacho unfazed by goal drought

Despite ending the Premier League season on a barren run of 24 League games without a goal, Kelechi Iheanacho says he is not under pressure to perform for the Super Eagles ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Egypt. The Leicester City midfielder was recalled back to the Super Eagles squad having been left out of Gernot Rohr’s squad in March. He also remained upbeat on ending his goal drought for club and country. The 22 year old last scored for Leicester City in September against Huddersfield. “I am relaxed, just being focused and ready for the

task ahead,” he was quoted in a report on Leicester City Mercury. “I will be in camp hopefully, to start preparations for AFCON proper.” “I am not under any pressure to deliver. “I have been scoring goals for the Super Eagles and I want to score more. “There are drought times for every striker and I am not an exemption but I will keep my head up, stay focused, determined and ready for the task ahead. “My critics always spur me to do more, I have nothing to say about that. I just want to stay focused on my set goals and be professional to the core.”

‘No regrets’ for retiring Cech despite Europa League loss Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech said he had “no regrets” as he played the final match of his career in Wednesday’s 4-1

Europa League defeat by former club Chelsea. “I have to say I have done everything, so I can look back and have no regrets,” Cech told BT Sport following the final in Baku. The 37-year-old won the Champions League and four Premier League titles at Chelsea and there have been reports linking him with a return to Stamford Bridge in an upstairs capacity. “There is a lot of speculation about Chelsea and all these things,” he said. “I wanted to lift the trophy and sit down and think. Until June 30 I am an Arsenal player.

Until that point I won’t decide on anything,” he added. Cech moved across London in 2015 and predicts a positive future for the Gunners under Unai Emery. “This is something this group of players don’t deserve because, behind the scenes with the coaching staff, the supporters don’t see how much work is being done,” the Czech Republic’s record cap holder said. “I can assure everybody who supports us the work we have done during the season will come next season and this team will be much stronger,” he added.

Naomi Osaka staged a second successive Roland Garros great escape on Thursday as fellow top seed Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams strolled into the last 32. World number one Osaka, bidding to add the French Open to her US and Australian Open titles, came back from a set and 2-4 down to defeat former world number one Victoria Azarenka 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Her win came on the back of being just two points from defeat in her tournament opener against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. The 21-year-old held her nerve, despite squandering two match points late in the deciding set, to secure a clash against Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic. “I was lucky to have played Victoria twice before. I knew she had been playing well coming into the tournament,” said Osaka. “It was an unfortunate second round draw for me so I am happy to win.” Osaka finished the two-hour 50-minute encounter on Court Suzanne Lenglen with 52 winners and 43 unforced errors. She becomes the first top seed to win her two opening matches at Roland Garros after losing the first set since Lindsay Davenport in 2005. “She deserves to be where she is – she is very powerful and explosive,” said 29-yearold Azarenka. Siniakova, the world number 42, also endured a marathon win, putting out Greek 29th seed Maria Sakkari 7-6 (7⁄5), 6-7 (8⁄10), 6-3 in a three-hour 10-minute duel. Siniakova had trailed 1-5 in the first set before surrendering a 5⁄2 lead in the secondset tiebreaker. Djokovic cruised into the last 32 for the 14th successive year, admitting it had been an emotional day playing for the first time in front of his four-year-old son. Djokovic, bidding to become just the second man to hold all four Slams at the same time twice, cruised to a 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 win over Swiss lucky loser Henri Laaksonen. Watching from the player’s box on Court Suzanne Lenglen was Djokovic’s son Stefan. “It’s a very special day for me as it’s the first time in my life that I have played in front of my son,” said the 32-year-old Serb after a

23rd straight win at the Slams. “He showed incredible patience to sit there for an hour and a half. Usually, he’s not that patient with tennis.” Djokovic goes on to face Italian qualifier Salvatore Caruso, ranked 147, for a place in the last 16 in Paris. Thursday was a lot more enjoyable for Djokovic than his last visit to Court Suzanne Lenglen in 2018 when he was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Marco Cecchinato. Three-time French Open champion Williams thrashed Japanese qualifier Kurumi Nara to step up her bid for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title. The 37-year-old cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 victory and next faces fellow American Sofia Kenin. “I’m very serious when I play, but I’m happy,” said Williams. A mouthwatering quarter-final clash with Osaka, who famously beat Williams in a dramatic 2018 US Open final, remains a possibility. Williams hammered 10 aces and 36 winners past world number 238 Nara, who stands a mere 5ft 1in (1.55m). Fourth seed Dominic Thiem overcame an entertaining challenge from Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik to reach the third round for the fourth straight year. The Austrian fourth seed was facing a fifth set when trailing 5-2 in the fourth, but reeled off five straight games to win 6-3, 6-7 (6⁄8), 6-3, 7-5. World number 91 Bublik delighted the Court Philippe Chatrier crowd with his wide range of shots, including three underarm serves in the opening set. The reward for Thiem is a clash against Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas who made it through when British number one Kyle Edmund retired with a knee injury at 7-6 (7⁄3), 6-3, 2-1 down. Amanda Anisimova became the youngest American woman since Williams in 1999 to make the third round when the 17-year-old defeated Belarus’ 11th seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-2. Fellow 17-year-old Iga Swiatek of Poland also reached the last 32, seeing off Chinese 16th seed Wang Qiang.
