Rancour as Senate moves to take over Edo Assembly

Continued from page 1

that probed the impasse was amended by Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi, who suggested a one -week ultimatum.

The governor was also ordered to formally inform the 24 members of the Edo State House of Assembly through a media advertisement in both the print and electronic media.

The Senate placed a caveat that should Obaseki fail to do so, the National Assembly will invoke Section 11(4) of the constitution to take over the state assembly.

These decisions were reached after the consideration of the report of its ad hoc committee set up to intervene in the assembly crisis.

However, the resolution to probably take over the Edo assembly did not go unchallenged as senators were sharply divided on the issue.

The decision of the Senate however, generated a row, but the majority favoured the Senate’s resolutions.

While both Senators Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central) and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi North) supported the Senate decisions, Senator Rochas Okorocha (Imo West) said that the Senate lacks the constitutional powers to take over the assembly. All of them were former state governors.

Sen. Aliero said the proclamation by the Edo State governor was not properly done and was shrewd in secrecy. He declared the proclamation and the subsequent inauguration of the assembly on June 17 as “illegal and should be declared null and void.”

Senator Egwu blamed Governor Obaseki for acting with impunity, saying that being a governor does not give room for doing wrong things.

He said: “I was a governor too. Being a governor does not mean that you have to do the wrong thing. A situation where the clerk said a governor sent a letter that the proclamation would be done on June 17 by 3pm, but based on the report of the commissioner of police, it was done by 10pm.

“Anything done in the night is a secret meeting; that’s suspicious and undemocratic.

There was a purpose for that which was not good. If there is conflict among your members, the governor should be able to make peace and reconcile. For me, the governor did the wrong thing.”

Raising a contrary view, Sen. Okorocha expressed worry that the National Assembly might be making a wrong interference in an issue it lacks constitutional capacity.

He cautioned the National Assembly not to be eager to take over Edo assembly, saying that “it looks like the Senate is eager to take over the Edo State House of Assembly. This is a family problem of the APC which the leadership of the

APC should have found a way to solve and not us stepping into a matter that I think we do not have the jurisdiction to do so.

“There is no proof whatsoever that the Edo State House of Assembly is not functioning.

We had a case here where the mace was taken away and no other Senate came to take over the Senate.

“I think the caucus of the APC should try and settle this family matter rather than making it a National Assembly issue. We must not be eager to take over the Edo State House of Assembly.

“What is happening there is a complete failure of leadership and they should resolve it. I was once a governor; giving three weeks mandate to the governor is insulting on the government of Edo State.

“This is not proper. I advise that we should look into this before we bring ourselves to ridicule of interfering in a matter that we shouldn’t.”

Despite the dissenting opinion, Senate President Ahmad Lawan put the recommendations of the committee to a voice vote.

The Senate resolved “that the Edo State governor should issue a fresh proclamation letter for the proper inauguration of the 7th Edo State House of Assembly.

“That the governor formally informs all the 24 memberselect of the new proclamation through media adverts in print and electronic media in conformity with parliamentary best practice.

“In the event that a new proclamation is not issued as recommended within the period of three weeks, the National Assembly is at liberty of invoke section 11, subsection 4 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi made an amendment to the first recommendation, asking for a one week ultimatum for the governor to issue the fresh proclamation.

The amendment was ruled and adopted by Lawan without it being seconded by any other senator in line with parliamentary procedure.

Ruling, Senate President Lawan said that “as far as this issue is concerned, this has been laid to rest. The Senate has taken a decision and it is in conformity with that of the House two weeks ago.

“I believe that our colleague, Senator Jev, can bring this point of order at an appropriate day if it would do any good. I believe that this resolution should be sent immediately so that the one week is not reduced by keeping the letter here.

“The National Assembly must insist on the right thing to be done even by state governors.

This is the home of democracy; it is the highest legislative chamber. Whether the National Assembly query decisions by the President, I don’t see

the reason why when there is an error or misjudgement or something undemocratic that the National Assembly should stay away from it.

“This motion was taken on July 10. We had three weeks to allow for some political process. I believe that has proved impossible. I want to congratulate the Senate for coming to the rescue of democracy and I believe that the message is very clear. We want this issue resolved. We are not in a hurry to take over.

The one week is to allow for the proper thing to be done.”

Reacting to the Senate resolutions, the Edo State government described the Senate’s decision as unconstitutional and a flagrant disregard for the principle of separation of powers.

In a statement issued and signed by Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, the state government said the action of the Senate is tantamount to be best described as an illegality that will not stand.

Ogie said that “this illegality will not stand. I advise all powerful persons not to be allowed to set our state ablaze, merely to satisfy their thirst for power and control”.

The statement reads: “The Edo State government watched with alarm today (Tuesday, July 30) as the Senate in a step that was not totally unexpected, purported to pass a resolution in the following terms; directing the governor of Edo State to issue a fresh proclamation for the inauguration of the state House of Assembly and ordering a fresh inauguration of the House of Assembly within one week from the date of the said resolution.

“As earlier mentioned, this move was not unexpected in the light of the enormous political pressure which had been brought to bear on the officers and members of the Senate by the highly placed and powerful persons who are intent on foisting their will and choices on the good people of Edo State.

“This is borne out by the recorded statements made by one Seid Oshiomhole (a member-elect and younger brother of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole) wherein he boasted that the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, have been instructed on what to do in this matter.

“The government of Edo State wishes to observe that the chairman and members of the Senate ad hoc committee which visited Edo State were made aware of the existence of at least three suits pending before various courts wherein the factual and legal dispute

Presidential poll: Buhari didn’t hand over certificate to army – Gen. Tarfa Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Contrary to the insistence by President Muhammadu Buhari that he handed over his West African School Certificate to the Nigerian Army, his witness, Major General Paul Tarfa (rtd), on Tuesday, told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal that there was nothing like that.

Although, President Buhari had in 2015 claimed that his certificates were with the military board, but his witness, Maj. Gen. Paul Tafa, (rtd), who claimed to have been enlisted into the Nigerian Army with President Buhari on April 16, 1962, however, denied that they were ordered to submit their certificates to the military board.

Maj. Gen. Tarfa, who made the disclosure while answering a question from lead counsel to INEC, insisted that the Nigerian Army never asked them to surrender their certificate in 1962 for whatever reason.

When asked by Usman to confirm that the army had asked them to submit their certificates in 1962, Tarfa

was emphatic in his response: “There was no such thing as handing over certificate to the Nigerian Army.”

He, however, confirmed English as the official language of communication during their time in the army.

Under cross- examination by Atiku and PDP’s lead counsel, Dr. Levy Uzoukwu (SAN), the first defence witness said that President Buhari being the commander -in -chief of the armed forces has all military formations under him.

Another witness, Sule Mai’Adua, a retired civil servant, admitted that he attended the same secondary school with Buhari and that he took photographs with him while they were in class six.

He also told the tribunal that he wrote WASC examination in 1961 with Buhari and that Buhari has two certificates.

When asked to read the army’s statement that Buhari’s certificates were not in his personal file with the military, the witness said he was never in the army and doesn’t know the position of the army, but insisted that

Buhari Buhari has two certificates.

Earlier, Buhari through his lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), had tendered series of documents, including newspaper publications, receipts and certified

true copies of his WASC certificate, confidential result sheet from the Provincial Secondary School and copy of Buhari’s resume duly signed by him as exhibits.

Although, both INEC and the APC

Nigeria on edge, declares Gen. Abdulsalami Saka Bolaji, Minna Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), has lamented that Nigeria is currently on edge.

Abubakar said that Nigeria is at the moment going through a period of trial amidst growing tensions and resentment all over the country, adding that there is anger in the land as the voices of reason are drowning rapidly.

The former head of state advised that the situation requires that both retired and present political leaders and other patriotic Nigerians live up to the expectations of a nation that puts so much value on elders and leaders.

He stated this in his opening remarks at the commencement of a two- day round-table to address issues of national concerns held by the Abdulsalami Abubakar Institute for Peace and Sustainable Development Studies which took place at Maizube Farm House, off Minna Bida Road in Niger State.

At the occasion which had in

attendance the crème of the Nigerian society were Lt. General Alani Akinrinade, former General Officer Commanding 1st Mechanised Division, Kaduna; General Martin Luther Agwai, former Chief of Defence Staff, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ambassador Ibrahim Gambari, former Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

Others were Alfred Diete Spiff, the Emir of Minna, Alhaji (Dr.)Umaru Farouq Bahago and his counterpart from Kazaure in Katsina State, Alhaji (Dr.)/ Najib Hussain Adamu, and Prof. Ango Abdullahi, Chairman, Northern Elders Forum among others, He added that the centre has taken cognisance of the varied indices in drawing up the list of individuals, groups and platforms, stressing that everyone invited is eminently qualified and represents interests, and perspectives of the nature of the issues and the solutions needed to resolve them.

“We are all here as Nigerians who share responsibility for the state of our nation. Therefore, if any forum can

help in the accurate identification of the problems and solutions for a united Nigeria, let us be counted as one of such fora.

“It is in this light that the invitation to this forum was extended to a wide range of organisations and platforms as stakeholders,” the ex-head of state added.

He, however, described as unfortunate that some of the invitees were unable to attend while others sent in their contributions, saying that nation building is a continuous process that provides opportunities for continuous dialogue.

Also, Prof. Gambari in his remarks, said separation is not the solution to Nigeria’s problems, adding that those who think that is the solution to the ongoing problems bedevilling the country should go and see what has happened in former Yugoslavia.

He stressed that India and Pakistan were once one country until 1947 when they were divided into two, arguing that up till today they are still fighting one another.

“Separation is not a solution to people that circumstances, hope and aspirations

have brought together as citizens of the same country while dialogue should not be seen as a soft option, but rather as a tough option,” he stated.

The former United Nations official pointed out that in intra- state conflicts, like in Nigeria presently, there can be no real solution to the ongoing conflicts bedevilling the country while at the same time it may appear as unattractive and even impossible.

He further argued that “when we have a problem, we send the military there, but the reality is that by my own experience, there can be no military solution to political problems, therefore, there is no alternative to dialogue.

“You don’t negotiate with friends, rather you negotiate with those you sometimes find as enemies and in trying to bring a situation or conflicts under control, you have to look for common grounds, but if it doesn’t exist, you must have to create it because it is by creating the common grounds that people can stand on their feet possibly on their grounds because it is within the common

did not object to the admissibility of the documents, Atiku and PDP registered their opposition to the admissibility of the documents, but reserved reasons to the objection till the final address stage.

According to them, the documents were not pleaded and listed as documents to be tendered, adding that it was shocking to know that the documents were only filed on July 30, 2019.

Also on Tuesday, Chief of Staff to President, Alhaji Abba Kyari, confirmed before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal that President Muhammadu Buhari did not attached any certificate to his INEC nomination Form 001 with which he contested the February 23 general election.

He said however that President Buhari attached a list of schools he attended not certificates. Kyari admitted that the diploma certificate in Strategic Studies he claimed Buhari possessed in his witness statement was not listed in Buhari’s resume.

Kyari, who was Buhari’s third defence witness at the hearing of the election petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated this under crossexamination by Livy Uzokwu (SAN).

He said that he collected a Cambridge Assessment of International Education Certificate of Buhari on July 18, 2019 and admitted that the collection was done after the election and his deposition on oath.

Still under cross -examination, Kyari said that he did not know Atiku’s grandfather or Atiku’s father, but he knew that Atiku served two terms as a Vice President of Nigeria.

Earlier, under cross -examination by the lead counsel to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Kyari had told the tribunal that Adamawa State and Jeda - Atiku’s birth place, was part of Cameroun in 1946 when he was born.

He also said that by the French policy of assimilation, Atiku is a citizen of Cameron and France, adding that by the plebiscite of 1961 Adamawa Province opted to be part of Nigeria.

Under cross -examination by INEC lead counsel, Yunus Ustaz Usman (SAN), Kyari said that Buhari reads his speeches and communicates in English Language which is the official language of the nation.

Hearing continues today July 31.

regarding the state House of Assembly inauguration have been submitted to the courts by both contending parties for resolution.

“The ad hoc committee also failed to inform the Senate of the existence of a valid injunction in suit No FHC/B/ OS/70/2019 wherein the Federal High Court restrained various parties from interfering in any manner with the activities of the state House of Assembly which said order had been brought to their attention in the course of their visit to Edo State.

“In point of fact in suit FHC/PH/ CS/159/2019, the National Assembly, the clerk of National Assembly, the President of the Senate and speaker of

the House of Representatives amongst others were specifically ordered by the Federal High Court to maintain the status quo as at July 25, 2019.

“The Edo State government is further aware that in suit FHC/ABJ/ CS/815/2019, wherein the clerk and the National Assembly are defendants before the Federal High Court in Abuja, the National Assembly and the clerk have not only been duly served with the processes, but have entered appearances in the matter.

“It is unfortunate that the Senate would act in flagrant breach of these various court orders and purport to come to factual and legal conclusions concerning a matter in which the parties are already before the courts and therefore, sub-judice.

“We are also concerned that the Senate appears to have very scant regard for the principle of separation of powers as enshrined in our constitution which is manifested by their taking over the functions of the judiciary in dispute resolution and giving directives to a governor of a state who is certainly not subject to the supervision of the National Assembly.”

“The Edo State Government maintains that there is nowhere in the Constitution particularly Section 11(4) which enables the National Assembly to “take over” any House of Assembly or in this respect, the Edo State House of Assembly.

“It must be further observed that it has always been the contention of the Edo state Government that the power to issue

a proclamation for the Inauguration of a House of Assembly as set out in Section 105(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was duly and completely complied with and it is not within the power of the Governor to recall same once issued or to perform the same act multiple times. Once the Governor issues a proclamation letter, his job is done.

“It is the duty of the Clerk of the House of Assembly to inaugurate the House of Assembly and he has since performed that task. He has further approached a Court of law to seek a validation of his actions. The pronouncements of the Distinguished Senate on the subject (with respect) is clearly misconceived and would amount to interference in the role of the Courts which may in fact constitute

contempt with which the Governor would not wish to be associated.

The government of Edo State firmly believes that our State is not a colony or a vassal of any person or persons exercising power in Abuja and we shall take all necessary steps within the ambit of the law to defend and validate our position and actions on this matter.

“We call on all persons of goodwill to call the powerful wielders of ‘power and authority” in Abuja and elsewhere to refrain from acts which are clearly unconstitutional, undemocratic and a flagrant disrespect for the principle of due process and separation of powers.

“These powerful persons should not be allowed to set our state ablaze merely to satisfy their thirst for power and control”.

FG moves to enforce recovery of N5trn AMCON debts Ready to go after 20 top defaulting entities, individuals

Motolani Oseni In a renewed effort to ensure the effective recovery of over N5 trillion outstanding debts owed the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), a new task force has been set up to get the job done without fail.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo gave the indication during a meeting with board members and management of AMCON and selected heads of government agencies, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday evening.

Those agencies include the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and also the Permanent Secretaries of the Justice and Transport Ministries.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, on Tuesday, and obtained by The

Daily Times.

To this effect, a special task force/committee comprising of the Heads of AMCON, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and the Ministry of Justice will be working to develop and implement new strategies that will ensure that the determination of the Federal Government to recover the money is speedily achieved.

Prof. Osinbajo said all the relevant agencies have to re-strategise to achieve the desired results.

“The key is collaboration. We need a small team comprising these agencies to look at the next steps that we need to take, especially the criminal aspect, forfeiture, and all of that,” the VP directed.

He said the task force should look at the top 20 AMCON defaulters closely and develop a plan of action that brings results.

It would be recalled that the Vice President had previously

Osinbajo in May met with AMCON management to discuss how to resolve the issue.

According to the AMCON Chairman, Mr. Muiz Banire, SAN, almost 67 per cent of the outstanding N5 trillion debt is owed by just 20 individuals/ entities.

Banire noted that the agency had been “trying its best in its attempt to recover this through the civil judicial process, but

had encountered several challenges.”

Also, present at the meeting was the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu; Chairman, ICPC, Prof.

Bolaji Owasanoye; Director/ Chief Executive, NFIU, Mr. Modibbo Tukur; Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Sabiu Zakari; and other senior government officials.

Abuja natives vow to ground nation’s economy Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja Natives of Abuja have vowed to ground the nation’s economy beginning tomorrow, following President Muhammadu Buhari’s blatant refusal to obey a court order which mandates him to appoint a native of Abuja as minister in his cabinet.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Spokesperson of Abuja natives, Comrade Yunusa Yusuf, said the decision became imperative after exhausting all means of dialogue to compel the government to obey the court judgment.

He said that President Buhari and his Vice President Yemi Osinbajo should be held responsible for any

breakdown of law and order in the FCT. Similarly, he frowned at the unprofessional manner in which the Vice President handled the military incursion in Tunga Maje, noting that Abuja natives have been pushed to a brick-wall and it is natural to react, stressing that the natives have exhausted all forms of dialogues that could lead to peaceful resolutions.

On their anger against Buhari, the spokesman said that “there is a subsisting court judgment directing Mr. President to appoint Abuja native as minister in his cabinet. To our greatest shock, the list of 43 ministerial nominees sent to the National Assembly for screening does not contain any native of Abuja.

“We are saying enough is enough. Nigerians should

hold President Buhari and his Vice responsible for any possible breakdown of law and order. It is not a threat, but a statement of fact.”

Speaking on the purported quit notice by the Nigeria Army for residents of Tunga Maje to vacate their ancestral homes, the group lampooned Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s inability to resolve the land dispute between the natives and army.

“Unfortunately, after the meeting on May 13, we have waited patiently for a response from the office of the Vice President even though the army has continued to forcefully develop the disputed land and harass the Abuja original inhabitants on the said land unabated.

“We have waited patiently, but running out of patience and our silence and respect

for the office of the Vice President, National Assembly and other constituted authorities should not be perceived as fear to defend our lives and property in our own way.

“However, on July 12, 2019, the army issued a quit notice dated July 3, 2019 to all the FCT original inhabitants on the land to deliver up possession of the land on or before August 3 and that in any event of refusal to comply with the quit notice within the stated timeline, the army will do everything within its power to take possession of the land.

“At this point, we want to state unequivocally, that FCT natives will never fold our hands and watch the army eject us forcefully from our legitimate ancestral land,” he added.

Police to treat Shiites as terrorists henceforth - IGP Says members of the proscribed group will be prosecuted using Terrorism Act

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has vowed that henceforth, members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shiites, would be treated as terrorists in line with a court order.

Adamu disclosed that any protester arrested in connection with the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria would be prosecuted under the Terrorism Act. The inspector general, who spoke at a conference organised by the Force Headquarters for senior police officers on Tuesday, said that the recent activities

of the group was a calculated attempt to plunge Nigeria into an ethno-religious war.

He stressed that increasing engagement of terror tactics, violent and subversive activities of IMN contravenes the Terrorism Prevention Act 2013 as amended.

According to him, with the judicial pronouncement of the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Federal Government has classified them as a terrorist group and accordingly proscribed the El-Zakzaky-led IMN. “In consequence, henceforth, any person engaged or associating, in any manner that could advance the activities of the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria, shall be

treated as a terrorist.

“Such person will be treated as an enemy of the state and a subversive element, and shall be brought to justice within the context of the Terrorism Act. The import of this is that all forms of procession or protest by IMN is now illegal and thus banned,” he said.

Adamu said that the police and other security agencies were fully committed to giving full effect to the judicial pronouncement in the interest of internal security and national cohesion and solicited for the support of the public in the provision of information that would help in identifying locations of IMN members and their mentors.

According to him, for purpose of clarification, Nigeria is a

secular state with constitution provisions guaranteeing the freedom to practice our faiths, disclosing that the constitutional provision must be exercised in a manner that guarantees national security.

“All adherents of the Shiite sect in Nigeria remain free to continue to practice their faith and shall be guaranteed adequate security to so do as the judicial order does not stop them.

“The El-Zakzaky-led Shiite Islamic Movement in Nigeria which does not recognise nor accept the constitution and government of the federation is the sole organisation that has been classified as a terrorist organisation and proscribed,” he added.

I’ve no plan to install successor in 2023, says Buhari Tunde Opalana, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari says he has no plan whatsoever to groom a successor for the 2023 presidential election.

The President stated this while reacting to one of the requests made by the members of progressives in academics, who visited him at the State House, Abuja on Tuesday.

Spokesperson of the group, Dr. Bolariwa Bolajim had earlier enjoined the President to commence the process of grooming his successor, who would take over the mantle of leadership from him in 2023.

Bolaji said that “we are delighted having you and in another four-year time, you would want to go and rest; then who takes over from you? We are suggesting that you bring a vibrant youth among people who have shown interest, bring them in so that you start saddling them with responsibilities and you will be watching them over these next four years so that when you want to leave the circle, you would have vibrant youth to hand over to.

“This is one of the ways the gains of this government can be made to be continue, so that there will be continuity in what you are doing.’’

However, President Buhari said he would rather stay away from identifying anybody as his successor so as not to create problem for such a person, adding that “to me, this is very funny. I think if I identify anybody I’d create more problems for him or for her.

“So, I’d rather keep my mouth shut. Let those who would want to be president

try as much as I did. And I believe that those who are interested know that I tried three times.

“And the first time, I thank God and technology (permanent voters’ card).

Before, they just go to the television and they read the results. They say anybody who disagreed should go to court.

“And most of my supporters are looking for next day’s meal. They don’t have money to give to lawyers. So I said God dey! So, the first time God and technology came along (permanent voters’ card), they couldn’t rig the election so I won.”

The President therefore, challenged the youth to continue to work harder, saying that they should not take things for granted.

“I tried to work hard, but I think you have a lot more to do; you as intellectuals so that you correctly document Nigeria’s political development. It’s very important for the next generation.

“A lot of our young chaps are taking things for granted.

Imagine contesting elections three times ending up in Supreme Court three times.

It needs a lot of conviction you know and hard work.

“But people take success for granted. They say, ah, he’s the President. They think it’s just that l closed my eyes and I got it?” the President asked rhetorically.

Members of the Progressives in Academics, who were drawn from different tertiary institutions across the country, presented three proposals on revitalisation of education, power and agriculture sectors to the President for consideration and possible approval.

“And a successful mediator is the one that builds common grounds so that there is a common framework to act on, while peace building goes hand in hand with conflicts resolution. And there is this tendency that after you have ended the conflicts, peace building has to continue hand in hand with resolving conflicts.”

Prof. Gambari stated further that peace building is a lot with intricacies and more difficult, while it is to meant to build institutions that are broken and to address the root causes of the conflicts with the view to build the foundation for sustainable peace in the society.

Also speaking, Governor Abubakar Sani -Bello commended the centre for being in the fore front of initiating programmes and dialogue, informing decision making, raising awareness through public discourse, creating robust- based

knowledge as well as building capacities of relevant stakeholder with the view to preventing conflicts and enhancing inclusive discussions that are critical to the resolution of crisis and fostering sustainable development in Nigeria.

The governor, who was unavoidably absent at the occasion, was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Ahmed Ibrahim Matane.

Police recover 1,181 firearms in 7 months – IGP Short News

The police said on Tuesday that it has recovered 1, 181 firearms including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and rocket launchers.

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, who disclosed this in Abuja at a one-day conference organised by the Force Headquarters for senior officers, said that the firearms were recovered between January and July.

He said that 4, 187 high profile suspects were arrested, including 1, 629 armed robbery suspects, 1, 053 suspected kidnappers, 1, 023 cultists and 482 suspects over murder cases within the period.

Adamu said that 389 stolen vehicles were also recovered from criminal elements with 506 kidnapped victims rescued in the period under review.

According to him, 300 of the victims were rescued in Zamfara state alone, adding that 249 of the victims were rescued between July 9 and July 23 from bandits and militias operating in and out of forests in the state.

He said that the achievements by the police were attributable to the narrowing of the trust gap between the police and citizens, reiterating that “the communities have demonstrated

impressive commitment toward partnering the police in presenting a common front against criminal elements. This is a good development.”

Adamu said that the achievement was suggestive of the institutional capability of the police to undertake specialised operations and take the anti-crime war to the camps and other safe havens of high-profile criminals.

“The achievements are also indicative of the effectiveness of Operation Puff Adder and other strategies employed by the police to address prevalent crimes in the country.

“To sustain these gains, we have commenced the process of implementing the community policing concept which involves the engagement of citizens in identifying and prioritising prevalent communal security threats.

“The idea is to bring communities to work together with the police toward developing and implementing solutions to the identified threats,” he said.

The inspector general said that the police would draw from the provisions of the Police Act in relation to the recruitment and utilisation of special constables that would be engaged as

community policing officers.

The police boss further said that the special constables would be under the coordination of the police and form the base of the community-focused policing architecture.

“The breakdown of the community policing deployment plan covers the recruitment of a total of 40,000 CPOs across the country in the interim.

The community policing officers will be recruited from within the communities where the prospective applicants reside, with an average of 50 community policing officers to be engaged in each of the 774 local government areas.

“In addition, 1, 300 community policing officers will be drawn from professional bodies like the academia, road transport unions, artisans, traders associations, religious bodies, women unions and youth organisations to ensure diverse representation,” he added.

Adamu said that the new recruits would be deployed to complement law -enforcement functions within their localities by performing low-risk and non-sensitive duties, and also act as liaisons between the police and their communities.

FG tasks NEPAD/AUDA to be more relevant to needs of Nigerians

The federal government has tasked the African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) to use its review period to make its mandates more relevant to the needs of Nigerians.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, gave the charge on Tuesday in Abuja, while inaugurating the 15-man National Governing Council of AUDA-NEPAD. Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ecological Department, Dr. Habiba Lawal, Mustapha explained that the agency, including the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) as envisioned by its founders was a strategic policy framework for Africa’s renewal and rebirth.

The aims according to him are to eradicate poverty and to place member countries, individually and collectively on a path of sustainable growth and development.

Mustapha added that the agency was also expected to participate actively in the world economy and body polity.

“One of your immediate responsibilities is to drive the process of Nigeria’s Second Peer Review which is expected to consider the impact of domestic policies on internal political stability and economic growth.

“You are also to promote mutual accountability, as well as ensure compliance with best practices, for effecting progress towards achieving the agreed standards and goals, taking into account the particular circumstances of our country,” he said.

The SGF urged the agency to focus on the deepening of democratic practices, while strengthening achievements, disseminating best practices and rectifying underlying deficiencies in governance and socio-economic development processes in Nigeria.

“With the inauguration of this AUDA- NEPAD/APRM’s governing council, our dear country is at a strategic leadership position with the major responsibility of being a role model for other African countries.

“Nigeria is at the position to make the APRM review process more relevant to citizens’ needs, more cost-effective and in tune with the agenda 2063 priorities and goals towards the ongoing transformation of AUDA- NEPAD/APRM,” he said.

In her remarks, National Coordinator/Chief Executive, AUDA-NEPAD, Mrs. Gloria Akobundu, said that the appointment of the national governing council was in line with the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the agency’s mandate.

While presenting the agency’s governing council to the SGF, Akobundu enlightened the members on the key flagship programmes of the agency which is under review.

ICRC’s Communication Officer, Sadiq Umar, said this on Tuesday in a statement in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

He said the items were distributed to the more than 4, 300 households with an estimated population of 27, 000 people, adding that the beneficiaries were taking refuge at Monguno, headquarters of Monguno Local Government Area.

Umar disclosed that the affected families fled their homes, leaving behind their personal belongings and took shelter in the over 12 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the area and listed the items distributed to include mats, blankets, dresses, solar lamps, cooking equipment and hygiene kits among others.

The communication officer emphasised that the gesture was to assist the IDPs to meet their basic needs, just as the statement quoted the ICRC’s Economic Security Field Officer in Monguno, Sadiq Ahmed, as saying that “the affected families fled the violence, leaving everything behind them. ‘‘We have provided support to 4, 392 families, to allow them to cover their basic needs.

There are currently more than a dozen IDP camps in Monguno, all of which are overstretched.

“Since December 2018, we witnessed huge influx of IDPs, mostly from Kukawa Local Government Area of the state. They were forced out of their homes due to the hostilities and are in a dire situation.”

Ahmed added that the organisation also constructed 2, 000 family shelters in some of the camps as well as supported health facilities in the area.

A beneficiary at the Fulatari IDP camp, Musa Haruna, said that “for months, our people have been subjected to a lot of sufferings, most of them without a single mat to put their heads on.”

“We are giving each of you four days within which to prepare your written address and replies. Having appreciated all counsels in the matter for your commitments in making the tasks of this tribunal an easy one, this goes a long way to say that we are one invisible family of the legal profession.

“You should also note that counsel to the petitioners and parties involved were given time accordingly to present their cases to the best of their abilities. Likewise the tribunal needs to review all that you presented to it.

“In view of these facts, we hereby fix August 15 for presentation and adoption of written addresses,” she declared.

FG calls for global action against human trafficking 14,000 victims rescued so far - NAPTIP

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The federal government has called for global effort in the fight against trafficking in persons.

This is just as it said that for the menace to be effectively tackled both home and destination countries of traffickers must work together as a team.

Speaking during the 2019 World Day against Human Trafficking in Abuja on Tuesday, the Solicitor -General of the Federation Dayo Apata lamented that about 3 million persons globally are in situations of forced labour as a result of trafficking.

According to him, women make up 56 per cent of the victims of economic exploitation adding that 98 per cent of the women are exploited by working as commercial sex workers.

“Human Trafficking is a serious violation of human rights and has grown to become a widespread and very profitable international crime. Although, reliable statistics on human trafficking are difficult to obtain, it is estimated that at least three million persons globally are in situations of forced labour as a

result of trafficking,” he said.

He however, commended the efforts of the federal government in reducing the menace, saying the country has come a long way since it signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons by taking appropriate measures to provide assistance and protection to victims of human trafficking.

“In 2015, Nigeria in a bid to deepen the provisions of her foremost law against human trafficking, the federal government re-enacted the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.

“This new law widened the scope and dimension of the repealed law, in addition to providing stiffer punishments and removing ambiguities inherent in the former,” Apata added.

Speaking, Vice President Yemi Osibanjo disclosed that the federal government in its bid to tackle the menace implemented several empowerment schemes to engage the youth.

Represented by his Special Adviser

on Social Investment, Mrs Mariam Uwais, Osibanjo commended NAPTIP, specifically, for its efforts to restore Nigeria to tier 2 on the United States of America Trafficking in persons report.

Earlier, the Director- General of NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah while outlining the achievements recorded so far by the agency, said that the agency since its inception in 2003 secured 403 convictions while 14, 000 victims were rescued, rehabilitated and reintegrated back into their various communities.

She added that the agency has further strengthened the existing collaboration with various partners as well as formed new alliances on all fronts to boost the fight against human trafficking in Nigeria and beyond.

“Recently, NAPTIP has successfully inaugurated state task forces to fight against human trafficking in Delta, Ondo and Ekiti states, in addition to the existing task force in Edo state.

“We hope to replicate this in all 36 states of the federation because it aims at getting the state and local governments to take proactive steps towards combating of human trafficking in their domains,” she stated.

The commission said it will deploy security personnel to the head office, local government offices, collation centres and polling units in both states.

National Commissioner supervising Bayelsa, Edo, Rivers and Chairman, Legal Services, Mrs. May Agbamuche - Mbu disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja, at a round -table on INEC preparedness for the Kogi and Bayelsa states governorship election.

General Secretary, Textile Workers Union, Comrade Issa Aremu, has said that the worsening insecurity in the country is fast depleting the country’s limited human capital through what he called avoidable killings of innocent working people, workers, journalists, farmers and herders.

Aremu, stated this yesterday while on a condolence visit to the family of Precious Owolabi a youth corps member with Channels Television who died following a gunshot wound he sustained at the scene of the clash between the police and protesting members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) in Abuja.

The labour leader observed that insecurity related problems have wider negative impact for human capital development if unchecked. He said while significant progress has been made to train human resources in a number of educational institutions, Nigeria is depleting its skilled hands through violent conflicts.

He regretted that an enthusiastic energetic intern journalist like Precious Owolabi, “could be casually wasted in an avoidable conflict between the police and members of Shi’ite movement,” adding that it takes almost 15 years and enormous resources to train a university graduate.

Comrade Aremu recalled that the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has lost as many as 1, 000 teachers to incessant killings and the abduction of school officials by armed bandits in Zamfara state and other parts of the North East.

“For a country in which millions of children are out of schools, serial murder of trained ones like teachers and journalists like Precious Owolabi further depletes the country’s critical human capital,” he noted.

He lamented that insecurity at the work place has been the daily woe of the majority of Nigerian workers and called on security forces and employers to protect workers in the areas of conflicts.

FCT indigenes protest, petition over exclusion from cabinet Supreme Court dismisses Anyanwu’s suit against Ihedioha Lawan Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Victory for democracy, says gov

Val Okara, Owrrri The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a suit filed by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, challenging the emergence of Imo state Governor, Emeka Ihedioha as the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a unanimous decision of five justices of the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice G. Okoro, the apex court held that the allegations of fraud and over -voting pleaded by the appellant were not proved.

It further held that the appeal ought not to have come to the Supreme Court in the first instance, saying that the concurrent findings by the lower courts were unassailable and also agreed with the Court of

Appeal, Owerri which affirmed the judgement of the trial Federal High Court, Owerri.

Justice Okoro, who led the panel of five justices while dismissing the appeal, awarded costs of N200, 000 against the appellant (Sam Anyanwu) in favour of Gov. Ihedioha and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Sen. Anyanwu had approached the court to nullify the victory of Ihedioha on the allegations of over -voting and thuggery which he alleged swayed the polls against him and that he should be declared as the authentic winner of the primary election.

Daily Times recalls that Gov. Ihedioha during the party’s primary conducted in Owerri on October 1, 2018, polled 1, 723 to defeat Sen. Anyanwu, who scored 1, 282.

While Sen. Anyanwu rejected the result of the primary, five other

aspirants, namely, Senator Achonu, Prof. Jude Njoku, Chief Chukwuma Ekomaru, Chief George Ejike, congratulated Ihedioha and also worked for his victory at the March 9, 2019 governorship poll.

Reacting to the development, Gov. Ihedioha described the judgement as a victory for democracy and dedicated it to God and the good people of the state.

The governor therefore, extended the olive branch to Sen. Anyanwu to join hands with him in his efforts to rebuild the state and restore her lost glory.

“Imo state is our home and we have no other place to go. I extend once again, my hands of fellowship to my brother, Sen. Sam Anyanwu to join us as we make genuine and deliberate efforts towards rebuilding our state which we met in a state of near-collapse,” the governor said.

Indigenous people of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have protested the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint a ministerial nominee from the territory.

The people under the aegis of the Coalition of FCT Indigenous Associations have therefore, petitioned Senate President Ahmad Lawan on what it termed the gross violation and utter disregard for the constitution in the appointment of ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The coalition said the advocacy on the inclusion of an FCT native has been a loud agitation and wish to inform the National Assembly as the people’s assembly to wade into its ceaseless calls to the President to appoint one of its own into the highest decision-making council in the country.

In the letter, the leader of the Coalition, Ezekiel Dalhatu Musa said Nigeria by the inactions of President Buhari has once again joined the league of totalitarian states.

He said that “recall that the non-inclusion of an FCT native in the ministerial appointments since our current democratic dispensation has been a matter of national discourse with some citing constitutional lacuna as the factor responsible for the non-appointment of an FCT native as minister into the federal executive council while we as natives have never enjoined such school of thought as the barrier hindering our political inclusion and democratization of the FCT. “Even though our belief holds that the President can appoint any of us as a minister into his cabinet requires just political will and demonstration of equity and fairness to the Abuja original inhabitants, we have gone legally and lawfully to garner more constitutional backing by challenging the perceived lacuna and a Court of Appeal which is of competent jurisdiction to hear this matter.

“It granted judgement mandating the President to as a matter of justice appoint an FCT native immediately into his cabinet since January 15, 2018 and while the President has been served this judgement by the Court of Appeal since March 22, 2018, but yet the President has not complied with the judgement.”

Sanwo-Olu: Rethinking Lekki-Epe traffic architecture

Gboyega Akosile

From 6:30am up to about 9:30am, and most times, till noon, motorists plying the ever-busy Lekki-Epe Expressway from Ajah axis inward Victoria Island and other parts of Lagos, now have a daily ordeal of traffic snarl to contend with.

Arguably, the axis is the busiest not only in Nigeria but in Africa on account of the fact that it houses the headquarters of major multi-national corporations and other organisations, including financial institutions, oil companies, property firms, telecommunications giants, hospitality firms, automobile companies, major shopping malls and government institutions.

As a result of the pressure on the road network within the axis, coupled with other factors, residents, business owners, investors and commuters generally are not finding it easy with the traffic situation in the corridor due to what they have to contend with while using the road daily.

Aside from the deplorable state of some of the roads on the axis, the situation is further compounded by inadequate road infrastructure, roundabouts occupying more than necessary space, delays caused by tolling system at the Lekki-Epe Toll Gate and LekkiIkoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza, and locked drains, among other factors.

To address the challenges, a stakeholders meeting was held fortnight ago at Four Points

by Sheraton Hotel, Victoria Island chaired by the State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, with other key government functionaries including the Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat in attendance.

The meeting was held at the instance of the State Government in partnership with major private investors, to present a comprehensive proposal designed by a team of expert in the public transportation sector, to bring about free flow of traffic in the axis.

The proposed solution, which includes designation of some roads as One-Way, road reconstruction, junction improvement works, traffic systems management measures, among others, was designed by Planet

Projects Limited and it is to be funded through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement.

In his opening remarks, Managing Director of Access Bank, Mr Herbert Wigwe, said the partnership was embarked upon to find a lasting solution to the traffic situation along the axis, being a critical commercial zone.

Wigwe, whose firm is one of the partners in the PPP model alongside Fidelity Bank, said the major objective of the arrangement is to re-arrange the traffic architecture in the Lekki-Oniru and Victoria Island axis, with the view to reduce travel time and make life comfortable for everybody.

“At the beginning of Governor SanwoOlu’s campaign, one of the things he said he would focus on is transportation and traffic management. This obviously is a big problem out here. We have engaged in several discussions with the Governor and we have worked with a consultant to carry out very detailed traffic studies of LekkiOniru axis with the view to ensure that we eliminate traffic the way it exists today from Victoria Island up to Oniru and Lekki,” Wigwe said.

Giving details of the proposed solutions, Managing Director of Planet Projects Limited, Mr Biodun Otunola, said from the comprehensive studies carried out, it was discovered that there were five major locations vulnerable to gridlock in the area, which include Sandfill Junction, Akinbolagbe Street, Ligali Ayorinde to Ajose Adeogun, Akinbolagbe Street to Ligali Ayorinde Junction and Muri Okunola Roundabout.

As part of the proposed solutions, Otunola said all the deplorable roads in the axis must be reconstructed with standard facilities, including drainage system, walkway and streetlight. He said due to the topography of the area, concretised road should be used to replace asphalt to make the road stand the test of time.

“We have also proposed that Akinbolagbe Street has to return to dual carriageway,

while most of the roundabouts have to be replaced with signalised light. Some roads will also be classified as One-Way, while old Sandfill-Maroko Road would be constructed to make up for the fact that motorists would no longer be allowed to make left turn at the Oniru Junction of Lekki Expressway/Yesufu Abiodun,” Otunola said.

Responding to concerns raised by stakeholders, especially land-owners and indigenous families in the area, Governor Sanwo-Olu said although there would always be room for continuous engagement and improvement, the ultimate objective of the planned re-arrangement and redevelopment of the traffic architecture of the axis, was to reduce travel time and make life comfortable for residents.

The Governor said: “Further engagement will continue so that the consultant that is working can go back and take a deep dive to see areas that we can still work on. It is collaborative and it is a PPP engagement.

The whole idea is that we want to solve the traffic issue around here; we want to improve travel time. Like we said during the campaign, we cannot just be people without solutions to our issues; we cannot just sit back and fold our arms and say that we cannot get anything out of our challenges.

“It is an innovative way of solving the traffic challenges we have around here and the fact is there will be inconveniences in terms of where you usually have two minutes to make a turn or a road that is now one-way. I mean just picture the fact that it took a while when some roads in Victoria Island were made one-way traffic for people to understand, and part of this is that we are not just going to leave the people; there would be massive engagement and we would also work with LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and other agencies as well as put in place enough of road furniture that would tell you where to turn and the areas you cannot enter. There will also be continuous advocacy so that people can have a clear picture of what we

are trying to do.”

After the meeting, the Governor and his team which included the Deputy Governor, the Head of Service, Mr Hakeem MuriOkunola, and Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr Gboyega Soyannwo, among other top government functionaries, carried out an onthe-spot assessment of the traffic flashpoints in the area, especially from Victoria Island down to Lekki, Ajah, Abraham Adesanya Roundabout, Admiralty Way and LekkiIkoyi Link Bridge.

Addressing reporters, Governor SanwoOlu announced the decision of the State Government to open the toll plazas at both Lekki-Epe Expressway and Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge free to the public for one day during rush hours on Thursday, July 11, 2019.

Specifically, the Governor declared a toll-free passage at the toll plazas between 6:30am and 9:30am in the morning, and also at the peak period in the evening from 4:30pm to 8pm.

The objective, according to Governor Sanwo-Olu is to allow traffic consultants to the government carry out a comprehensive study of traffic flow around Lekki-IkoyiVictoria Island axis, which is part of the initiatives the government is bringing to diffuse vehicular gridlock in major Business Districts in the state.

Sanwo-Olu said: “Tomorrow being Thursday, the toll plazas on the Ikoyi Link Bridge and Lekki-Epe Expressway will be opened free of charge between 6:30am and 9:30am in the morning and also between 4:30pm and 8:00pm in the evening. This is to allow us to do a real simulation of traffic study in these areas that usually witness high density of vehicular movement daily.

“We are currently undertaking a traffic study with our experts and we want to know where the traffic goes to when the tollgates are left open for steady movement. It is only when we do this activity at the peak hour that we will be able to understand how to deal with congestion in this area,” the governor said.

Nigerian youths and ministerial nominees

Jerome-Mario Utomi

There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away-Winston S Churchill (the hinge of fate) For most Nigerian youths today, there is just no way of analyzing the list of 43 ministerial nominees, by President Muhammadu Buhari, without arriving at these separate but similar thoughts.

First, apart from the disproportionately skewed list screaming with evidence that youth’s political highway remain slippery, rough, and riddled with potholes and hopelessness, the list eloquently laid bare an ingrain falsehood of Mr President’s promise in 2015 that he will work with the youths. And raised the question as to; why Nigeria youths are daily celebrated at the world stage, but at home, relegated to the political gallery where they are made to watch the scheme of political and socioeconomic affairs of their own nation.

In the same style, not only did the ministerial list make nonsense of the seemingly gains of the not-too-youngto run campaign embarked on by the youths on July 2017, which brought about the amendment of some sections of the Nations’ constitution to accommodate youths desirous of seeking political or elective positions, what is now left at this stage, of course, is the question of the extent to which youths should draw political lessons from the episode or whether to continue exerting power on inglorious political functions they are reputed for without result.

Certainly, in my views, if there is a sterling lesson the youths must draw from the asymmetrical structure of the ministerial list, it is the new awareness that thuggery, and other illicit political

functions at the polls cannot guarantee a political position for the youths. Rather, what guaranties political appointment and position is the possession of a keen sense of independence, self-respect and oneness, and insistence on choosing the right people as leaders during the election.

To explain, throughout the period of 2019 general election, the Nigerian youths hobnobbed and romanced these politicians without knowing that our political leaders are experts in adopting the tactics of the coquette. ‘A tactic that makes the public fall in love with excitement while these leaders remain inwardly detached; while keeping them in control.

What the youths must learn from this exclusion is that to gain relevance politically, they must develop the will to work out their political salvation by recognizing‘that there is little hope until they become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truth and downright ignorance.

Regardless of whether the appointment in that particular order was made by Mr President to achieve a particular purpose— such as tackling the nation’s troubled economy, insecurity, unemployment or improvement of power generation, the truth is that looking at the list, such lopsided architecture cannot justify the argument as it was made up of familiar names that did not spectacularly perform during Mr. President’s first term.

However, the above is not to suggest that this non-appointment of the youths to political positions in the country is limited to the present administration or just happening for the first time; as no administration in Nigeria can boast of clean hands. The challenge may exist

in ‘overt and glaring forms among the Buhari’s administration but may have existed in the hidden and subtle’ manner in others.

In my views, all these are happening because Nigerian youths apart from playing visionless politics, they are in the words of Professor Wole Soyinka full of spunk abroad, but gas at home.

Coupled with the reality that our nation is unfortunately blessed with a huge number of ‘coercive’ and selfish leaders as against truly ‘democratic, pacesetting and coaching’ leaders.

As an illustration, like a prophet that was supernaturally informed of it and supernaturally moved to announce it, I recall writing a piece dated August 2017 and titled; Nigerian Youths; celebrated abroad and despised at home,were pointed out that the Nigerian government right from independence has evidently proved not to be interested in, or paid adequate attention to supporting youths involvement in politics or holding of public offices, but are merely concerned with clarifying the problem of youths apathy in politics without the solution. I also in that piece submitted that the only twist to that narrative is that youths have visible but ignorantly endorsed these underground plots through their actions and inactions.

Conversely, political pundits have argued that the youths should not be blamed for their inability to occupy political or leadership positions in the country, be it elective or appointment, but blamed on the nation’s inglorious departure from politics of ideas to money politics or what is currently referred to as the politics of the highest bidder which the youths have no financial muscles to

partake in and therefore settled for the easiest option at their disposal which is praise singing or what is referred to as ‘’Otinkpu’’ in the Igbo local palace” .

Despite the virtues and attributes of the above positions, I still hold an opinion that the bulk of the blame rests at the doorstep of the youths as the list of political actions not taken was lengthy and worrisome.

As an incentive, if the youths had during the build-up to 2019 general elections, identified the areas which really hold the key to political success, and apply the right mix of resources, make collaborative efforts and discipline, they should have been able to put themselves in a position of real competitive superiority using their demographic advantage.

To, therefore, catalyze the process of reversing this appalling trend, and form a force that must not be ignored, Nigerian youths must first understand the threat fear poses for reason. They need to remember that under ‘right circumstances; fear can trigger the temptation to surrender to a demagogue promising strength and security in return’.

The just-concluded general elections and current political appointment stand as vivid examples.

Finally, Nigerians youths must not continue to agonize over such developments but wake up and do something civil and positive. On their part, our leaders should not live under the illusion of a misguided cleverness but should ‘study history, study the actions of the eminent men, to see how they conducted themselves and to discover the reasons for their victories or their defeats so that they can avoid the later and imitate the former’

Editorial Commentary NEWS

5 Nigerian pilgrims die in Saudi Arabia The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), on Tuesday confirmed the death of five Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.

Dr Ibrahim Kana, Chairman, National Medical Team, released the figure Tuesday in Madinah from the commission’s National Medical Team Electronic Health Medical Records.

“So far, Nigeria has lost five pilgrims including three females and two males; out of which one died in Madina while the remaining four died in the city of Makkah.

“They all died of various illnesses including heart and lung diseases.

“Records shows that so far in both Makkah and Madina, we have made 10, 485 diagnosis with Makkah accounting for over 60 per cent.

“Additionally, 108 referrals were made to various Saudi Arabian hospitals after keeping 45 pilgrims on observation for variety of illnesses in the four facilities in Madina and another five in Makkah.

“In order to ameliorate suffering of pilgrims, all the clinics are located within a stone throw to pilgrims’ accommodation in both Makkah and Madina,” he stated.

Over 150 million drugs had been consumed by Nigerian pilgrims at no cost to them, the record showed.

“The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria prepared a drug forecast for the entire operation, including drugs for HIV/ AIDS and Tuberculosis, donated by the Federal Ministry of Health.

“The remaining was procured by the

commission, both onshore and offshore, following government due process.

“In terms of wellbeing of pilgrims so far on the medical side, we are yet to encounter any serious situation or potential outbreak of any disease, except for the extreme temperatures.

“We admonish our pilgrims to stay indoors as much as possible.

“If they must go out, they should cultivate the use of umbrellas and consume plenty of cold water,” he said.

Regarding concerns of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (MERS-CoV), Kana said that pilgrim’s were strongly advised to stay away from camels which were the reservoir and vector for the transmission of the disease.

“We appeal to pilgrims to eat healthy and not patronise illegal food vendors to prevent cases of gastroenteritis as a result of food poisoning.

“Similarly, pilgrims are strongly advised not to consume stale foods which get easily contaminated as a result of the high temperatures.”

He also advised pilgrims to attend the health centres opened for them, reminding them that they were free to make use of the free services and called on the health personnel to be cautious and humane to “the guests of Allah.”

Kana said that all the NAHCON clinics were fully computerised, “therefore, pilgrims with the habit of patronising clinics just to receive drugs would not be able to do that this time.”

NASS committed to addressing humanitarian crises in North-East – Gbajabiamila Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Tuesday, reiterated the commitment of the National Assembly to supporting the current efforts at addressing the humanitarian crises caused by Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.

Gbajabiamila made this known when he paid a courtesy visit on Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno at the Government House, Maiduguri.

He noted that the decade-long insurgency had caused massive destruction and displacement, which had eventually led to humanitarian crises in the zone.

Gbajabiamila said the recent attacks on Borno communities by the insurgents had brought to the fore, the need for proactive measures to end the conflict and address the crises.

“We are here as a team to do an on-the-spot assessment of the security situation in Borno State.

“We cannot address the situation if we do not speak with the people who are directly involved, so we are here to visit and speak with the displaced persons in camps, with a view to restoring sustainable peace to the zone,” he said.

The speaker said that the House leadership would work with the lawmakers from the zone and come up with legislations that would address the root causes and provide lasting solutions to the problem.

He added that the lawmakers were considering ways to increase the size and strength of security agencies to address the security challenges facing the country.

He pledged the support of the lawmakers to the reconstruction, rehabilitation and resettlement (RRR) programme of Borno government.

“Lawmakers from the state will work closely with the Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, to ensure increased allocation so that the roads, houses and schools destroyed by the insurgents can be reconstructed,” he promised.

The speaker commiserated with the government and people of the state over the killing of more than 60 people by the insurgents on Monday at Badu community in Nganzai Local Government Area of the state.

Responding, Zulum commended the Speaker for the visit, saying it would avail him the opportunity to assess the security and humanitarian situations in the state.

Zulum urged the Federal Government to re-examine and reinvigorate the armed forces, to make it more technology-driven for the enhancement of its operations.

“The nexus between security and development need not to be over-emphasised; no sustainable development can be achieved without peace,” Zulum said.

According to him, about 500 villages and 400 other communities have been sacked by the insurgents in northern and central parts of the state.

The governor added that over 5,000 classrooms, 800 municipal buildings, 1,600 water facilities and 786 energy generating facilities had been vandalised by the insurgents in the last 10 years.

OUR POSITION

The return of History to our schools The directive by the Federal Government to all primary and secondary schools across the country to immediately implement the teaching of History as a standalone subject from the next academic calendar is very welcome.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Sonny Echono, who disclosed the directive in Abuja recently, said the Federal Government will also ensure that all primary school teachers are trained to deliver digital literacy.

According to Echono, the directive had already been given and it is automatic that all the schools should implement simultaneously.

We commend the Federal Government for listening to the concerns expressed by many Nigerians and its wise decision to bring History back to schools.

No doubt, the teaching of History in our schools will go a long way in fostering nation building, national identity, patriotism and overall human development in the country.

The importance of History cannot be overemphasised. History, it should be noted, provides the students with the knowledge of the past, and its influences on the present and the future.

Now that the error of removing History from the schools’ curriculum has been corrected, the emphasis should be on the teaching of Nigerian history, including our origin, cultures, our commonalities as well as differences.

Our students should be taught about the Nok culture, the Igbo Ukwu, Benin and Ife arts among others.

These cultural landmarks are associated with the history and archeology of our land.

They should also be taught about the history of the various people that make up Nigeria before, during and after colonialism. There is the need to teach them about slavery, colonialism, the nationalist struggles and

attainment of independence. They should be taught the history of the Nigerian Civil War and other wars fought among the various ethnic nationalities that make up the country.

There is a significant body of international academic research that shows that the role of history education, in developing a sound knowledge of the history of one’s own country and of the wider world, can contribute to progressive democratic citizenship.

In a world where we are often bombarded with a wide range of electronic information of varying degrees of intellectual rigour and quality, and in a world where there are real concerns about the phenomenon of “fake news”, it is important that our young people have the ability to evaluate source material and to develop analytical skills, which the study of history teaches us.

The progressive teaching of history can foster a sense of inclusion, a respect for diversity and also strengthen awareness of civic responsibilities in the emerging generation, now in our schools and colleges, who will help shape the future of our nation.

Also, we cannot be truly united when Nigerian history is not taught in our schools.

In fact, some of the crises of nationhood plaguing Nigeria today can be traced to lack of knowledge of Nigerian history. It is very sad that most Nigerians today think more about their ethnic nationalities and less of the country.

We call on the curriculum designers to make the teaching of History appealing and attractive to the students through the use of modern teaching aids.

For us to build a strong and virile nation, the emphasis should be on inculcating in our students the virtues of nationalism, unity and patriotism. They should love and think of Nigeria first before any other consideration.

History can be used as a veritable tool to achieve these lofty goals.

Supreme Court sacks Rep. Modibbo over certificate forgery Declares second runner up winner

Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Supreme Court on Tuesday nullified the election of Rep. Abdulrauf Abdulkadir Modibbo as member of the House of Representatives representing Yola South, Yola North, and Girei Federal Constituency of Adamawa state.

In a lead judgment delivered by Justice Ejembi Eko, the apex court held that he was not qualified to have contested the National Assembly election held on February 23, 2019 as a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Justice Eko held that by the NYSC Act, it was compulsory for the candidate to serve out his one year service before seeking for employment and “therefore, cannot serve two masters at a time.”

The Supreme Court also condemned the decisions of the lower court which after finding out the actual truth about Moddibo’s NYSC certificate based their decision on moral grounds instead of the law.

The apex court further stated that it found out that Modibbo had presented a forged first school leaving certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for clearance during the nomination process.

It noted that INEC ought to have disqualified the candidate when it was brought to its notice that Mustapha had presented a forged certificate.

Justice Eko also made a consequential order setting aside the decisions of the two lower courts and ordered INEC to declare the second runner up at the National Assembly election as the winner of that election and issue him or her with the certificate of return to enable the speaker of the House Representatives swear him or her in as member representing Yola South, Yola North, and Girei Federal Constituency of Adamawa State.

It should be recalled the Court of Appeal in Abuja had affirmed the election of Mustapha Usman and dismissed the appeal filed by Modibbo for lacking in merit.

Earlier at the Federal High Court presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo had in a judgment on May 3 also ordered the APC and INEC to recognize Mustapha Usman as the winner of the February 23 National Assembly election for Yola South, Yola North and Girei Federal Constituency of Adamawa state.

But, the Supreme Court upturned the judgements of the high court, that declared that Usman had established against Modibbo the offences of age

falsification, forgery of his first school leaving certificate and participating in partisan politics while serving as a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) which violated Paragraph 9, Section 4 of the NYSC Act. “No law, not even the 1999 Constitution envisages that a person can be a serving member of the House of Representatives and at the same time a serving corps member. Even if the penalty is extension of service for a period of three months as stated in the 9thParagraph, Section 4 of the NYSC Act, a person who is a law -breaker cannot be allowed to also be a lawmaker. Therefore, no person must be allowed to benefit from his illegal activity,” Justice Eko declared.

Usman had brought the action through his lawyer, Olugbenga Adeyemi, alleging that Modibbo supplied false information to INEC in Form CF001 where he stated that he was born on September 29, 1985, while on February 1, 2012 he made a declaration before an Adamawa High Court that he was born on September 29, 1986.

The court noted however, that the failure of Modibbo to appear to defend the allegations was bad for his case.

Moddibbo in reacting to that ruling had vowed to appeal the judgment at the Supreme Court.

Short News Fayemi to build police post at Ekiti-Osun border town Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti

The Governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi says the state government has concluded plans to build a modern and well-equipped police station at Iwaraja, a border town between Ekiti and Osun states to make the axis safe for commuters.

Fayemi said the measure would curtail the rising wave of trans-border crimes like kidnappings and killings being perpetrated between Efon Alaaye Ekiti and Iwaraja of recent.

Following the killings of some residents by suspected herders at Iyemero early this year, Fayemi has ordered the immediate construction of a police post at the Ekiti -Kwara state border to patrol the seemingly porous section of the state.

Many commuters have been kidnapped while some were even killed as a result of the persistent nefarious activities of suspected gunmen along the Aramoko-Erio-Efon-Iwaraja axis, thereby making the portion dreadful for transporters.

Speaking in Ado Ekiti while appearing on the monthly programme tagged: “Meet your governor” aired by an Ekiti- based media outfit, Fayemi said the Ekiti state Security Trust has been signed into law and this, he said would help in fortifying the security architecture of the state when it commences operation.

Fayemi again restated that the federal police structure is grossly inadequate to secure the country, harping on the need to create state police, which understands the terrain and provide better security cover for the 170 million Nigerian citizens.

Fayemi said he has been holding series of meetings across the country and in the South East in particular as the chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on the need to have a joint security network that will stamp out evildoers from the zone.

UniIlorin to screen 59, 306 candidates in post-UTME exercise Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

No fewer than 59, 306 candidates are expected to take part in a four-day screening exercise for admission into the 2019/2020 academic session of the University of Ilorin that will end tomorrow.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Tuesday, on the conduct of the university’s post -UTME screening exercise, the Director of Corporate Affairs of the university, Kunle Akogun, said that the exercise commenced on Monday simultaneously at the university’s main campus and Lagos centre.

Akogun also said that the breakdown of the figure shows that 51, 868 are UTME candidates while the remaining 7, 438 are direct entry candidates.

It would be recalled that the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof.

Age Abdulkareem, had put the carrying capacity of the university for the 2019/2020 admission at about 10, 000 students He said that the screening exercise which commences at 7am daily has been peaceful, adding that the candidates comported themselves in an orderly manner.

However, some parents have complained that requirements to sit for the computer based test should be spelt out to candidates in the future, saying that so many candidates were disturbed when asked to produce certain documents before they could sit for the test.

The parents also called on the school authority to provide adequate transportation into and outside the university campus, saying that a large percentage of candidates and their guardians had compounded transportation challenges.

Flood sacks over 1,000 residents in llorin Devastating flood which accompanied heavy rainfall that lasted over three hours has rendered over 1, 000 residents homeless in Odota area of llorin, the Kwara state capital.

The rainfall started at about 11pm on Monday and lasted until 1am on Tuesday.

However, during a visit to the affected areas on Tuesday, some of the victims, including traders were salvaging their damaged belongings from the flood.

Several of them including children and the aged have moved to houses of neighbours who were not seriously

affected.

Some of the items damaged by the flood include clothing, furniture, household utensils, electronics and other assorted materials.

Chairman of the landlords association in the affected areas, Alhaji Yahaya OlowoBeki, who spoke with journalists, attributed the flood to lack of drainage after the completion of the Geri Alimi underpass.

He said that “the flooding has become a constant occurrence being experienced in the area since the completion of the under -pass.”

Olowo-Beki appealed to the Kwara state government to provide drainage at the sides of the under- pass to curb the constant flooding in the area.

Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Environment, Alhaji Al-Amin Amasa, while reacting to the incident, attributed the flooding to lack of proper layout in the affected areas.

He said the flooding was not as a result of the construction of the under -pass, but as a result of the failure of the affected residents to create water ways when building their houses.

Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has described members of the fourth estate of the realm as not only pivotal to the actualisation of the dividends of democracy, but also a group which should be embraced by any responsible sitting government.

Sanwo-Olu made the remark on Tuesday while addressing the Governor’s Office press crew when as part of his tour of some government agencies, he paid a courtesy call to the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, situated within the premises of the Lagos state Government Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja.

According to him, due to the critical role of the media in the reportage of government activities to the people and the importance of communication which is a two-way thing in this day and age, any government without the media is on a journey to nowhere.

He stressed that the relationship between the government and the media should be a symbiotic one.

“First and foremost, let me express my profound gratitude to you members of the fourth estate of the realm for your support to this government since its inception. Today makes it 61 days since this administration kicked off.

“So, it is only sensible for us to visit you on the first day of the commencement of our third month in office. On behalf of my brother, the deputy governor with whom I started this journey together, we wish to say a big thank you to you all. Also, I believe I speak the mind of all of those in our government in showing our appreciation.

“Having said this; let me implore you to continue to work with us with the highest level of professionalism, joining hands with us to serve Lagosians better. Communication is crucial and getting the right reports to the people is also vital.

Sanwo-Olu charges security, emergency responders on civility Benjamin Omoike, Lagos

Security personnel and emergency responders in Lagos state have been admonished to be civil in the discharge of their duties.

The charge was given by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday when he charged officers and men of the state security, environmental and emergency agencies to be humane in their dealings with residents.

Sanwo-Olu said this during an on-the-spot assessment tour of some state security, environmental and emergency agencies.

The agencies include the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), the Lagos state

Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Rescue Unit and the Lagos state Environmental, Sanitation and Special Offences.

He called for more synergy among the various agencies and advised them to rededicate themselves to service and absolute commitment to the development agenda of his administration.

The governor commended the officers for their efforts in making the state secure and promised that the government would provide favourable working environment for them.

“We are starting with you on a first note because Lagosians expect so much from us and by extension, they

expect so much from you. I have had meetings with your commanders, but coming out to meet you today is a thing of joy.

“All the things you mentioned, some are very critical and germane and needs to be addressed immediately.

It is true that if we are going to be sending you men out with arms and all sorts to go and protect, and keep the environment safe and sound, you also need to be motivated, you need to be encouraged,” the governor said.

Earlier, some of the officers while complaining about the challenges facing them, appealed to the governor to provide adequate security equipment, among other needs to them discharge their jobs diligently.

The former deputy governor died Monday morning at his home town, Itele, Ijebu, at the age of 79.

Gov. Abiodun, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, described Alhaji Ogunleye as an astute administrator and a politician per excellence, who contributed immensely to the socioeconomic and political development of Ogun state.

The governor attributed the development currently being enjoyed by the people to the efforts of people like the deceased, who worked tirelessly to ensure that the state attains its current status.

He said he had hoped that the former deputy governor would live longer so that his administration “would continue to tap from his wealth of experience for the benefit of the people of the state.”

Abiodun urged the family to take consolation in the fact that Alhaji Ogunleye lived an impactful life that benefited thousands of people, praying Almighty Allah to give them the fortitude to bear the loss and grant him repose in Aljanna Firdaus.

Meanwhile, the state Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commiserated with the people of Ogun state on the demise of the former deputy governor.

In a press release in Abeokuta, the Chairman of APC in Ogun state, Chief Derin Adebiyi, sent his condolences to the family of the bereaved.

APC chieftain optimistic former Bauchi governor will reclaim mandate Samuel Luka, Bauchi

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi state, Malam Haruna Rikaya has expressed confidence that the immediate past Governor of the state, Mohammed Abubakar will soon reclaim his mandate at the election petition tribunal in the state.

Malam Rikaya, who is the Bogoro Local Government chairman of the party, stated this at the end of a meeting with party chieftains and stakeholders in the local government.

He appealed to members to remain loyal to the party and its leaders claiming that “the immediate past governor of the state will soon reclaim his stolen mandate at the election

petition tribunal.”

The party chairman, who explained that the meeting was aimed at strengthening the party in the local government area despite its purported defeat in the 2019 elections, vowed that “even if we lose in court, our party will bounce back in the next election.”

He alleged that Governor Bala Mohammed has an inauspicious start when he spent about two months without commencing any work in spite of the over N20 billion left behind by the ex-governor in the state treasury.

Rikaya further alleged that Gov. Bala failed to redeem the promises he made during electioneering campaigns such as the payment of gratuities to retirees and leave grants to workers immediately after assuming office.

The party chairman also alleged that the governor revoked contracts

awarded by his predecessor, decrying that the action is capable of hampering the completion of the affected projects and development of the state.

Another APC chieftain in the state and former Senior Special Assistant on Security to the former governor, Michael Damina said despite being rigged out by the PDP, the APC remains intact as none of its chieftains has left the fold.

“We are solidly bound together and will continue to pursue everything that belongs to the APC. We want to tell the world that we have not seen the issue of division in the party,” he stated.

Damina expressed their unflinching support to the APC leadership at all levels, President Muhammadu Buhari as well as the former governor whom he said will soon come back as the governor of Bauchi state.

The founder Nigerian Workforce Strategy and Enlightenment Centre (NIWOSEC), Dr. David Ehindero has said artisanship and technical vocations remain the only way forward for the nation to develop.

He stated this in his opening remarks at an ongoing workshop tagged: “Work na work” organised by the centre in Abuja.

Ehindero, the centre’s lead strategist said that the various tiers of government and all stakeholders must continue to empower Nigerians to add value to whatever they produce and enhance the divinity of labour.

According to him, the training workshop for artisans in Nigeria was initiated to correct the anomaly in the country where the artisans are relegated to the background.

He said that investing and prioritizing every facets of artisanship is Nigeria’s way out of joblessness and steady rate of employment, adding that “they are the real face of the nation’s development that must be given the right tools and enabling environment to thrive.

“We saw that artisans have been relegated to the background and government is not doing anything about it and we cannot continue to pay lip service on such an important issue.”

The expert lamented that government and society have refused to appreciate or even relate with artisans, but instead prefer to celebrate people in the formal sector.

He said the centre is out to correct whatever that has been making artisans undignified, disclosing that “we have therefore, identified financial management, security around their jobs and the future of their jobs among others.

Police detain publisher over alleged false publication

Barely two weeks after police stray bullets killed Precious Owolabi, a youth corps member reporting for Channels Television, another journalist, Oke Epia, editor –in-chief of Order Paper has been detained by police attached to National Assembly.

Epia, who honoured the police invitation over an alleged false publication in his paper is been interrogated by detectives at the police post located at the rear entrance of the National Assembly.

Journalists who visited to know what was happening to their colleague were politely asked to remain outside until the questioning is concluded.

The police at the National Assembly had in a letter dated July 26 invited Epia to appear today at the police post, informing him that the invitation is a fact-finding one.

Epia in a statement, however, believes that the invitation is part of attacks on his media house by Tony Nwulu, a former member of the House of Representatives.

The relationship with the former legislator started after a publication prior to the 2019 general elections. The social media post profiled House members vying for either governorship or deputy governorship positions.

In profiling Nwulu, Order Paper said it reached out to the lawmaker to account for “missing funds and projects for zonal intervention projects in the 2016 budget,” a claim he is yet to respond to.’

In his reaction on Twitter, Nwulu branded the newspaper as fake, alleging that it never made an assessment of his stewardship.

“Fake medium. No sensible person should take you guys serious.

Tribal bigots; at least your faceless promoters should try running for office and effect the change they desire and not just being pathetic armchair critics hiding under a useless medium to extort,” he tweeted on his handle @tonynwulu.

Judge quashes plea bargain, jails yahoo boy 3 years Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Suspected ‘Yahoo Boys’ arrested by EFCC in Ibadan

10 years after Boko Haram’s bloody insurrection: Remembering early victims Pastor George Ojih Emmanuel Ogebe This is why I personally believe in Nigeria. I hand heard of this widow for years. I heard she and her kids had moved to Lagos after the horrific incident.

I finally tracked her down.

She told me about her charismatic and studious husband who came back to Maiduguri for the weekend from bible school to visit his family. She remembers wistfully the sermon he preached at his church that weekend encouraging all to be firm till the end. As if he knew...

Later that week, Boko Haram went on rampage.

They operated freely in the city of Maiduguri where they had a mosque, a camp ground and facilities.

They rampaged through the city killing Christians.

Pastor George and his family were amongst those who fled to a military barracks for safety.

Several days later when the violence subsided a bit, he went in search of an old lady - a widow from his church who wasn’t hiding in the barracks with them.

During that rescue mission, he and a deacon were captured by the terrorists and taken to their grounds.

There Mohammed Yusuf, leader of Boko Haram, addressed a group of captured Christians from his throne, “Covert to Islam or die!” Pastor George refused. Instead he urged the other Christian captives to stay strong.

Incensed, Yusuf ordered for a sword to be brought and as Pastor George continued to encourage the others, pinned him down and slit his throat in their full view. Not done, he fully decapitated him. Then, holding up his severed head, Yusuf declared to the trembling group, “this

is what we do to those who refuse to accept Islam!”

A few days later, Nigerian security forces captured Yusuf and he died in custody. His cup was full. He had defied the God of heaven for too long and shed too much innocent blood...

Some of the rescued captives who compromised after his beheading came and told her about her husband’s final, defiant moments...

She is probably one of Nigeria’s longest widow’s from Boko Haram terrorism going back to their July 2009 uprising, 10 years ago this week.

I asked her if she had received compensation from Borno state government as I heard some was being offered. She said, the state government claims they are only paying compensation for people killed during their tenure. Hers was before so they didn’t pay.

I was sickened. How could a nation fail to protect its citizens and then fail to comfort them?

Then she told me about Banjo.

A prominent pastor in Warri and another one in Lagos helped relocate her and her two kids from Borno to the south. She was pregnant then and had her third child there.

A man named Banjo got in touch with her and promised to pay for her kids’ school. This is very costly in one of the world’s most expensive metropolitan megacities.

Every once in a while Banjo would call and ask about the kids’ results. One year, she read the grades to him. Banjo said, “let me call you back.”

Sometime later, he phoned. “I have discussed this with my bible study group. Your son’s grades are not great. We need to move him to a better school. We will pay for the new school.”

It is one thing to be a one-off or cash-and-go philanthropist. It is a whole other thing to be a

caring, consistent humanitarian. He paid the fees but he cared about the kid’s performance. In that wise, Banjo was doing what George himself would have done. George must be smiling from heaven... (the body works!)

I marvel at this man whom she tells me she has never met. Yes. He has never shown up to claim credit or glory for his charity. He is leaving it all up to His Rewarder. He is from the southwest, she is from north central and the pastor who relocated her is from the south south. They have no bond, no connection than the love of God. Ironically I found out during our interview that she was from my place...

This is why I believe in Nigeria but I believe in Nigerians more. We have been our own government when there was no governance. We can be our own ministers when there are none. We have proven time and again, that we can survive without them and inspite of them.

This weekend was the 10th anniversary of the public beheading of pastor George Ojih by Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf. Yusuf himself was killed days later.

Pastor George is survived by a wife and three kids. In those 10 years no assistance or compensation came to the family from the government state or federal. His widow Veronica wanted to move to Kaduna because of the high cost of living but discovered after buying a land there that it has been taken over by Fulani Herdsmen.

It is ironic that the anniversary of the oldest hero of the faith martyred by Boko Haram, George, also coincided with the news of the martyrdom of the newest heroine of the faith, Leah. If truly she’s been executed, the God of George will arise on her behalf again like he did before.

The court also fined one Monday Major the sum of N500,000 for illegal dealing in petroleum products.

The convicts were arraigned on Monday, July 29, 2019 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Port Harcourt Zonal Office, on one-count separate charge, bordering on illegal dealing in petroleum

products, contrary to Section 4(1) of the Petroleum Act, Cap P10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004, and punishable under Section 4(6) of the same Act. Trouble began for Yahaya, Hassan and Abubakar when they were intercepted by Nigerian Army, 6 Division, Port Harcourt sometime in June 2019 at Aluu General Area, Port Harcourt distributing Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) using a DAF Tanker with registration number FST 12XB without an appropriate license.

Justice M. B. Idris of Federal Capital Territory High Court, Nyanya, Abuja, on Tuesday struck out a plea bargain agreement between a defendant, Favour Ebebeinwe Ogagaoghene and the prosecution and sentenced him to three years imprisonment without an option fine.

Ogagaoghene was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), for defrauding one Patricia Johnson, a United States of America citizen of the sum of $11,450 US Dollars).

He was convicted after he pleaded guilty to one¬-count charge.

Trouble started for the convict following a petition, dated March 12, 2019 by his US victim, Patricia Johnson, who complained that the convict deceitfully posed in the social media as American Gareth Wilcoxon, and professed love to her and in the process duped her of the sum.

The convict admitted to the crime in the course of investigation, agreeing that he fraudulently obtained the sum of $11,450, US Dollars) from the victim.

The one-count charge reads: “That you Favour Ebebeinwe Ogagaoghene, sometime in 2017, at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did fraudulently induce one Patricia Johnson, a citizen of the United States of America to deliver the sum of $11,450 (Eleven Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty US Dollars) only, which when converted to naira amounted to N4,007,500 (Four Million, Seven Thousand, Five Hundred Naira) to you which she would not have done but for your deceit by posing as Gareth Wilcoxon, an American via, your e-mail address. You thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320[a]and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code cap 532 laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.”

The prosecution counsel, Ashibi Amedu, represented by Geraldine Ofulue, in view of the defendant’s guilty plea, urged the court to convict and sentence him accordingly, in line with a plea bargain he entered with the EFCC. Counsel to the defendant, A. A. Unuafe, agreed with the prosecution that there was a plea bargain, to which both parties agreed to.

However, Justice Idris refused the plea bargain agreement, stating that he has discretional powers of the court to deliver the judgement by applying the Cybercrime Laws.

At this point, the defence counsel requested to withdraw the plea bargain agreement as well as the case from Justice Idris’ court to another court and judge, but the judge rejected the request and went ahead to deliver his judgement, sentencing the defendant to three years imprisonment without an option fine.

Tanker XP 711 PHC, without licence and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 4(1) of the Petroleum Act, Cap P10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004, and punishable under Section 4(6) of the same Act”.

The defendants, pleaded guilty when the charges were read to them. In view of their pleas, prosecuting counsel, S. Chime prayed the court to convict and sentence them accordingly. The defence counsels did not oppose the prayers of the prosecution.

Justice Mohammed, accordingly, convicted and sentenced Yahaya, Hassan and Abubakar to two years imprisonment with an option of fine of N50,000 each, while he convicted Major and sentenced him to a fine of N500,000 only. The judge also ordered that the petroleum products they were caught with be forfeited to the federal government.

NCAT new courses to transform aviation sector -Rector Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Rector, Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) Zaria Capt Abdulsalam Mohammed says the introduction of new courses in the college was aimed at transforming the aviation sector in line with the vision of the current administration for the institution.

Speaking with aviation journalists in Lagos yesterday, Capt Abdulsalam explained that with this; the college would be able to compete favourably with its counterparts across the world.

He named the Ordinary National Diploma (OND), Higher National Diploma (HND) and Post Graduate Diploma into various fields of the emy where the college has commenced admission adding that the essence of the programmes was to improve the academic knowledge of professionals in the sector.

According to Mohammed, NCAT had sought and received accreditation from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for the legitimate awards of the programmes, before the commencement of forms for the programme.

He told journalists that the programme, which commenced five years, had contributed immensely to the knowledge base of the Nigerian aviation industry.

For OND, he explained that the college is running courses on Electrical/ Electronics Engineering Technology, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technology, while for HND, admissions are available for Aviation Management, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technology (Avionics Option), Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe/Power Plant Option).

Besides, he stated that the college is also offering PGD in Aviation Management (full time), which would be held in Zaria, Kaduna State, while the part-time of the programme would hold in Lagos.

He explained that admission into the programme would close after six weeks period, commencing from Monday last week.

He said: “We are introducing the OND, HND and PDG programmes to interested candidates, especially those already in aviation in order to increase their knowledge and exposure. Just as you are aware, education is the bedrock of any society.

“All the courses will take place in Zaria, except the PDG, which has both full time and part-time. We decided to bring a part-time programme to Lagos in order to attract aviation professionals more. We discovered that most of them are working and their tight schedules may not permit them to run such a programme in Zaria. So, we brought it closer to them in Lagos.

“The only difference between it and the full time is just a semester. For the full time, a student will complete the programme in two semesters, while for the part-time, it is just in three semesters. We hope that this programme will further increase the knowledge of aviation professionals in the industry and will enhance professionalism.”

Mohammed said that since the admission form went on sale Monday last week, the response had been encouraging and expressed optimism that the college had enough and quality instructors to handle all the advertised courses.

Mixed reactions trail CBN’s proposed FX restriction to importers of milk As CBN explains policy on Forex constraint Motolani Oseni Mixed reactions have continued to trail the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) proposed policy on foreign exchange restrictions to importers of milk into the country.

The apex bank in its continual efforts in explaining economic implications of forex dependency for the importation of what can be produced locally, on its verified twitter on Tuesday said, “We are determined to make milk production in Nigeria a viable economic proposition.

If you need a loan to acquire land, do artificial insemination, grow grass or even provide water, we will give you. We are getting to the end of the road of milk importation in Nigeria.

According to the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said, “We are saying that the amount we spend on the importation of milk in this country is too high, we need to reduce it.”

As at the time of filing this report, the tweets generated over 2700 likes, 1200 retweets and over 500 comments.

Responding to @cenbank twits, @ Ayemojuba with the Twitter handle, @ayemojubar, said, “You should be determined to make mineral fuel production in Nigeria a viable economic proposition.

“If they need a loan to build infrastructures and refineries, you should give them. You should get to the end of the road of refined fuel importation in #Nigeria.”

He added: “Hmmm, so this is the new strategy to smuggle your Trojan horse called Ruga into different states?

Fulanisation of the Southerns, cunningly rebranding Ruga package as a milk production proposition, we have gotten a sense in #Nigeria.”

Also, DiamondInThe Dirt with the twitter handle, @MisterSlyy, twitted, “Is there even electricity to preserve this milk after it’s been produced? Will they also provide loans for electricity?”

Similarly, macaphan with handle, @ macaphan007, twitted: “They shouldn’t worry we will get the southern government to partner with competent dairy companies worldwide to build

ranches in the south.

“Ekiti state has started, Ogun State will start soon. Their plan is DOA!!!”

Ibr sal @SuleeIbro replying to @ ayemojubar and @cenbank twits noted, “Which Trojan horse? Why are you guys so obsessed with ruga” he queried?

He clarified further that importation of rice has been banned, today rice production has tripled and more jobs have been created.

“If you don’t want the project to please leave Nigeria. Simple”, he twitted.

God’s Bountiful Blessing with handle, @D ebonyx, on his own part, stated: “Is it by force? People don’t want it because it’s their choice. You can’t force grown people and core exposed people to do your bidding. If they want to rugs, let them use the north that has the same kind of cultural background with them.”

But in a swift response to @D_ebonyx comment, Emi Checkzy, with the twitter handle, @ECheckzy said: “Your comment is so laughable, did you see anything RUGA in the central bank submission?.

Education has really suffered.”

Contrary to various negative

comments to @cenbank twits, Taiwo Owolabi (magicpen) with the twitter handle, @Taiwo16556987 said: “We can’t continue to live like this. Is it hate or denial, Google it, there are milk being produced locally here, fan milk is a popular brand, they source their fresh milk in Nigeria even before Ruga was a pitch to us. And they preserved them well, for once think about Nigeria.”

Also, Omo Odunfa, @Drey_coaded, said, “I do not know why or what made us this bitter, but whatever it is we should let them do this at least. If they can get this done right at least they should do it.

“We should not keep rejecting everything; we won’t gain anything in the end”, he admonished.”

It would be recalled that the CBN had recently clarified that its attention has been drawn to attempts by some interests, who feel hurt by the planned policy aimed at promoting the local production of milk in Nigeria, to mislead the general public by misrepresenting the ordinarily unassailable case for investments in local milk production and the medium to longterm benefits of the planned policy.

Accountability: NNPC GMD clears air on ‘secret accounts’ Micheal Ajayi The Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari says the corporation has said that the corporation remains accountable in its dealing amidst several allegations.

Speaking during the meeting with the Chairman and Members of the Special Presidential Investigative Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, the NNPC boss, explained that every member of his management shares the vision of Mr President and that Government’s institutions must be accountable to all Nigerians.

While affirming the Corporation’s commitment to transparency and accountability, Kyari said the corporation was one of the most accountable public institutions in the

country, “This is the only company that publishes its operations and financial reports monthly. I am not aware of any company that does that in the world.

“We know that we will gain more by being more transparent. We have nothing to hide,” Kyari told the Panel.

Furthermore the GMD added that no secret accounts that breach the Treasury Single Account (TSA).

In a statement issued by Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the spokesman for the corporation, he said that the NNPC had nothing to hide as it stood to gain a lot by being transparent in all areas of its operation.

He reiterated that NNPC had no secret account, adding “there is no single account NNPC is operating that is unknown to the Federal Government.”

“Any account(s) outside the TSA platform are partner accounts which we have obtained due approvals from the government,’’ he noted.

Kyari, who observed that all monies belonging to the corporation were domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), added that the Corporation’s account managers remained the CBN and the AccountantGeneral of the Federation.

On the lease renewal fees on Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 67, 68, and 70 by ExxonMobil, Kyari said the company paid 600 million dollars which were their equity contribution of 40 per cent of the Joint Venture Agreement.

According to him, NNPC is to pay the remaining 60 per cent but it unnecessary as it is representing the government.

“Ordinarily, NNPC would have

contributed the balance of 60 per cent of the amount which literally meant government paying monies to itself.

There was no need for that,” Kyari said.

On the alleged non-remittances of taxes and royalties by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), NNPC’s upstream arm, the GMD said there were outstanding payments which arose as a result of the pillage that occurred before 2015.

He, however, assured the Panel that the present administration had made concerted efforts to reconcile every payment due to the Federation on taxes and royalties.

“The only outstanding payment is 600 million and we have a prepayment plan with the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) such that by mid-2020, we will have money left to be paid”, he explained.

Union Bank boosts innovation in education sector with edTech challenge Temitope Adebayo

LASACO Assurance grows profit by 25% to N479.4m Michael Ajayi LASACO Assurance Plc has grown its Profit after Tax (PAT) by 25 per cent to N479.4 million in 2019 HalfYear financial report, as against N382.4 million recorded during the corresponding period in 2018.

The Company disclosed and other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in its underwriter’s unaudited financial statements for the period under review posted on the website of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Tuesday.

The financial statement showed that

the insurance outfit posted an increase of 11 per cent in its Gross Premium, from N6.1 billion stood in 2018 to N6.8 billion declared on June 30, 2019, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) for Half Year 2019 climb by 21per cent compared to the corresponding period of 2018.

In specific terms, the PBT rose from N527.5 million in 2018 to N639.9 million this year, indicating an appreciation of N112.3 million over six months.

The overall improvement in the company’s major performance parameters, notably its earnings, impacted the Earnings Per Share (EPS) favourably during the period. This went

up by 28.57per cent from 7 kobo to 9 kobo for 2018 and 2019 respectively.

Why this matters: The growth in LASACO Assurance KPI is a development that the company shareholders should be happy about. It generally implies that the company is on a sound financial footing and can record greater yields across all performance parameters at the current pace.

Interestingly, this impressive trend should be enough to sustain confidence in the current investors and could be a good motivation for potential investors to look the way of LASACO Assurance shares. Given the positive momentum,

the company might end the year with greater results.

On Earnings Per Share: Earnings Per Share is the profit that each unit of a company’s ordinary shares yields during a particular period.

It is simply calculated by dividing the Profit After Tax by the company’s total outstanding shares.

Increase in a company’s EPS often reflects an improvement in its bottom-line, while a fall, on the other hand, indicates a declining profit.

LASACO Assurance currently trades on the floor of the NSE at 37 kobo per share.

Verification of unpaid investors in ponzi scheme ends Motolani Oseni The extended verification of claims by unpaid investors who were involved in the illegal investment (Ponzi scheme) organized by Dantata Success and Profitable Company (DSPC), has finally ended on Tuesday, July 30, 2019.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had extended the exercise which ought to have ended on July 19 till July 30.

The Commission had sealed the Kano premises of DSPC following its involvement in illicit capital market activities, but later in a public notice said that it would begin

a verification exercise of investors in the scheme.

But in a notice released on its official website titled: “SEC continues verification of Dantata investors, stated that the said investment company had disguised under an investment scheme, a strategy to solicit funds from naive members of the public.

For instance, gave attractive monthly returns on investment of between 25per cent 50 per cent; Sold forms to investors between N1,000 and N3,000; Took the sum of N50,000 as minimum investment and a maximum investment of N5 million. And the extension of verification: Specifically, the verification exercise is extended due to the appointment of joint administrators/

trustees for the company.

The regulator added: “The commencement of the verification exercise is a sequel to the appointment of joint administrators/trustees for Dantata Success and Profitable Company and in pursuant to section 13 and 173 of the Investment and Securities Act, and consequent to an Ex parte Order granted by the Federal High Court, Kano,” SEC said in the notice.

According to the latest statement from the Commission, the verification will continue to hold in Kano from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.

All unpaid investors are advised to attend in person as attendance by proxy is

not acceptable.

Investors are required to go with the original receipts evidencing their payments or bank tellers for deposit into the company’s account, valid means of identification and bank account details.

The move by SEC could be viewed as a way to mop up any form of illicit investment activity in the Nigerian financial system as those activities are bound to swindle unsuspecting investors of their funds.

Meanwhile, SEC’s involvement in DSPC’s illegal investment is not a regular move by the Commission and may be traceable to the fact that the company was earlier registered under the Commission to perform capital market operations.

SMAT-P will address challenges of untargeted training facing civil servants-Oyo-Ita Joy Obakeye The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita has said that the Structured Mandatory Training Programme (SMAT-P) for civil servants was aimed at restructuring the Federal Civil Service system in line with global standard.

Mrs Oyo-Ita, at the official declaration of the training in Abuja said that the SMAT-P was specifically organised to mark the commencement of the training activities under the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2017-2020.

She also inaugurated the re-designed

three core training modules on Leadership Enhancement Advancement Development-Programme of the training exercise being part of the FCSSIP 20172020.

The FCSSIP 2020 is one of the Efficient, Productive, Incorruptible and Citizencentred programme.

FCSSIP was inaugurated in 2017 to take effect to the 2020; the process was to ensure that the operations in the public service reflect the EPIC culture in the civil service.

EPIC is one of the eight key priority initiatives of the strategy which is central and would play a critical role to successful delivery of the goals and objectives of the

other initiatives.

“As you may recall, we launched 2017-2020 FCSSIP-2020, indicating a commitment to organisational transformation with a vision to build a modern Public Service.

“Organisation that provides worldclass service for sustainable National Development.

“It also envisioned a change in behaviour from bureaucratic red-tapism to an entrepreneurial result-oriented and innovative public service among other goals.”

According to Oyo-Ita, the FCSSIP-2020 will address the challenge of untargeted training facing the Service.

“Over the years, the absence of structured and targeted training programmes for civil servants has been a major challenge to the Federal Civil Service.

“Training activities across the Ministries Department and Agencies have hitherto been carried out haphazardly, without considering the actual competencies lacking in the Service.

“This approach has exacerbated the knowledge and skills gap in the service.

“The focus of the plan, the head of the ice said, was to ascertain the obvious knowledge and skill gaps in Nigeria`s civil service and design relevant training contents to fill them.”

As part of efforts to promote innovation in the education sector, Union Bank has announced the launch of the 2019 EdTech Challenge.

The edTech Challenge is the third edition of the annual Innovation Challenge series and aims to discover, showcase and support innovative, cutting-edge technologies with the potential to transform Nigeria’s education system.

BMO tackles PDP over attacks on ministerial nominees Stories by Patrick Okohue The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) allegation that several nominees on President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list have cases of serious allegations of corruption against them as a new low for the PDP. The PDP had earlier suggested that the list of the ministerial nominees should first be sent to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for clearance before being considered by the Senate.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, BMO stated that the PDP has once again shown its proclivity for inanities and making unsubstantiated claims and allegations against the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and its officials.

“Firstly, due to lack of knowledge, the PDP does not know that before a nominee is presented for Senate screening, he/she usually undergoes a rigorous security screening involving security agencies such as the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Department of State Services (DSS), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). These agencies use the opportunity of the security screening to subject them to ‘’needle’s eye’’ scrutiny.

“Furthermore, the PDP has no moral justification to ‘convict’ an innocent nominee when a court of competent jurisdiction has not done so, or has it forgotten the legal maxim that every accused is innocent until proven guilty? In the case of the nominees, none of them has even been accused of any crime as the PDP wanted Nigerians to believe.

“We want to remind the PDP that

the nominees have enjoyed a bipartisan support of the Senate, and this was done based on the Senators’ confidence in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari to act in the best interest of the country.

“This is contrary to the PDP’s era when some ministerial nominees were tainted with corruption and their tenure in office proved that their appointments were undeserved. We are constrained to believe that the PDP is not in sync with its Senators on the screening as its position runs contrary to the total support which the nominees have received from the Red chamber.”

BMO says it is gratifying that the President has selected the right team that will help him realise the ‘Next Level’ agenda of the administration, “and in the next four years Nigerians will witness an unprecedented economic and infrastructural development in the country as the nominees are distinguished in their various fields of human endeavour.”

Edo Assembly: NASS in too much of a hurry in take over decision - Okorocha Immediate past governor of Imo State and Senator representing Imo West in the upper chambers of the National Assembly, Sen. Rochas Okorocha has faulted the decision of the Senate to take over the Edo State House of Assembly if the state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, fails to issue a fresh proclamation wihin one week.

Okorocha, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said the Red Chamber is overreaching itself on the Edo Assembly issue, noting that the matter should be constructively resolved among concerned interests as a family affair issue and not in the manner the National Assembly was going about it.

The Senate had during its plenary on Tuesday given Governor Obaseki one week to issue a fresh proclamation for the constitution of the Edo State House of Assembly or it would take over its legislative functions.

The Senate took the decision when it received the report of its ad hoc committee led by Sen. Abdullahi Sabi (APC Niger), which had, in the past two weeks, investigated the crisis in the Assembly.

The committee had initially recommended three weeks for the take-over, but the recommendation was later amended to a week.

However, Okorocha took a contrary position on the take-over bid, saying the Senate appeared to be in a hurry to take-over the state Assembly.

The immediate past governor

Okorocha

Obaseki

of Imo State said: “The National Assembly seems to be overreaching its boundary in this matter. We appear to be in a hurry to take over the Edo State House of Assembly.

“We should see this as a family affair in APC and we must not ridicule ourselves in public, rather we should look into the matter instead of this position the Senate is taking.

“I have been a governor before and I think what is happening in Edo is simply a failure of leadership which can be addressed,” he said.

President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan, while defending the position, said: “The decision is in conformity with the decision of the House of Representatives two weeks ago.”

It will be recalled there have been crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly since June 17, following

the refusal of some members-elect to get inaugurated due to their disagreement with the choice of the leadership of the State Assembly.

However, the National Chairman of APC who happened to be the former Governor of Edo State has been fingered as the mastermind of the crisis.

Many civil society organisations and prominent Nigerians have condemned the action of the National Assembly on Edo State House of Assembly crisis, saying it amount to illegality as the National Assembly lacks the constitutional power to give directives or order to a governor of a constituent state in Nigeria.

In addition, it has been adjudged subjudice and disrespect to rule of law since the matter is before courts of competent jurisdiction already.

Lagos Assembly slams state agency over poor road, infrastructure maintenance The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday rated the performance of the state Public Works Corporations (LSPWC) low in maintaining roads and other infrastructures in the state.

Speaking through the Chairman, House Ad hoc Committee on LSPWC, Mr Setonji David (APC-Badagry II) during an oversight visit of project sites, the Assembly said that the agency had not justified its budgetary allocation.

David expressed the dissatisfaction when he led other members of the committee, Messrs Rasheed Makinde (Ifako-Ijaiye II), Noheem Adams (EtiOsa I) and Olayiwola Olawale (Mushin II) on oversight to some project sites of the LSPWC. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the committee visited IPP/ Sewage Plant Road, Ikeja and Lagos State Ministry of Special Duties and inter-Governmental Relation MultiAgency Complex Car Park, Oshodi.

The committee also visited Gatan Kowa Market Road in Agbado OkeOdo, Local Council Development Area, Alimosho and Opeloyeru St, Mushin.

He said that there was the need to restructure the corporation for optimal performance.

The lawmaker, who frowned at the competence of engineers and contractors that handled some of the projects, said that public funds should be judiciously spent for the purposes they were meant for.

“We are here on oversight function to inspect what the LSPWC claims they have done so far and what we have seen so far has been quite deplorable.

The state of the roads are very bad.

“This is our second day, the other

day we went to Ibeju-Lekki area, we noticed the same thing. We are here again to see this road (Opeloyeru St.), what they are claiming they have done is not good enough.

“There is need to restructure LSPWC. The output of what they are giving to the society is not encouraging,” David said.

On how the LSPWC could perform so optimally, the chairman said that such was left with the executive arm of government.

“Our concern is to ensure that they (LSPWC) do what is right. What we have seen so far is not encouraging to us. The tax payers are not getting what they are supposed to get.

“The road they claim to have done last year is in a very bad state. The drainage system is not functioning, the road itself is bad.

“I am an engineer; if they have done what is right, the road will not fail within a year. Some of these roads were done less than one year ago and they are in very bad state. What we have seen so far is not encouraging.”

He said that for the state to move forward, the corporation must do the right thing, adding however, that some works were carried out satisfactorily.

On the need to allow legislators, who are closer to the people, to set agenda on road maintenance for LSPWC, the lawmaker said that such would benefit majority of the residents of the state.

According to him, the corporation in some instances will leave bad roads undone and work on the averagely good ones.

The General Manager of LSPWC, Mr Femi Daramola, who took the lawmakers round, declined to speak to newsmen after the exercise.

‘Climate Change, most challenging problem in 21st Century’

As climate change unfolds the world is likely to become a dangerous place as global temperatures rise.

This was the submission of Prof Anthony Kola-Olusanya, a Professor of Environmental Sustainability, Osun State University, Osogbo, as a Guest Speaker at a Public Lecture titled “Climate Change and Environmental Conflict in Nigeria: Implications on National Security” organised by Centre for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development (CESSED) and held at Aderemi Makanjuola Lecture Theatre, Lagos State University, Ojo. According to him, Climate change is a key development issue as well as being one of the most challenging problems facing the 21st century.

He stated that the aims of the lecture, amongst others, include to determining what constitutes environmental conflict; how climate change affects natural resources availability.

Quoting Ban Ki-Moon, the former United Nations scribe, he added that Climate change is “simply the greatest collective challenge we face as a human family”.

He stated that Climate change is one of the challenges of African nations especially and at the heart of climate change is conflict relationship which is the issue of natural resource scarcity and competition.

Speaking further he disclosed that an understanding of the induced climate change resource-based conflict is the best captured in the herders/pastoralistfarmer conflict.

“Wars are often based on resources, the destruction of the environment would lead to environmental crisis and wars will be fought.

“As climate change unfolds the world is likely to become a dangerous place as global temperatures rise and one of its effects is a heightened risk of violent conflict. Its impact is harder on the poorest and most vulnerable members of the public,” h said.

On the issue of Fulani herdsmen attacking communities in Nigeria, he said they cannot succeed without internal collaborators.

The Don noted that several factors are identified as the cause of the conflict, notable among which are resource scarcity and land dispute between herdsmen and farmers are considered to be the origin.

He said there are many towns that are noted for banditry even in Yoruba land, and those acts of banditry are being perpetrated by indigenes. He wondered why all the banditry being perpetrated in Nigeria is now being regarded as originating from the Fulani herdsmen.

“Why is it that all of a sudden all those indigenes have become Fulani, it takes somebody within to allow the enemy without to come in. So if Fulani herdsmen are running over us, then there are some Yoruba collaborators, there are some Jokun collaborators, there are some Efik collaborators, there are some Igbo collaborators.”

Olusanya then proposed panacea for the raging imbroglio when he said “The way-out from the conflict between farmers and herdsmen, if you want to solve a problem, you engage the people, talk to the people. Who are the people in this case now? It is the herders and the farmers, not tribal leaders par say.”

He said the search for solution should be facilitated by tribal leaders or eminent personalities so that a solution can be found.

Don calls for ban of tomato paste

UBEC has developed new framework to enhance quality in basic education- Bobboyi Stories: Esther Taiwo The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) says it has reviewed minimum standard for basic education and developed new quality assurance framework to improve the quality of basic education in the country.

Executive Secretary of the commission, Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, made this known in Kaduna at the opening of three-day training on the use of the reviewed standards and quality assurance instruments recently.

The training was organised for quality assurance officials of UBEC and State Universal Basic Education Boards in the North-West and North-East.

Bobboyi said that UBEC management had approved 2.0 per cent of SUBEB intervention funds for quality assurance in states, to promote effective and

efficient monitoring and evaluation in schools.

The UBEC boss, who was represented by the Director, Administration and Supplies, Rev. Edwin Jarumai, noted that the quality of teaching and learning largely determined progress in terms of growth, development and global competitiveness.

He said that quality assurance involved all the processes that contribute to the attainment of expected learning outcomes.

According to Bobboyi, effective quality assurance system will drive quality basic education.

He assured that UBEC will ensure that all prescribed standards are met towards achieving the required quality in the basic education system.

“There is growing concern on the issue of quality teaching and learning in basic education. This means that we all have to rise and build a model for educational

effectiveness.

“The quality assurance departments in UBEC, SUBEB and Local Government Education Authority will be strengthened with adequate manpower and means of mobility to monitor what is happening in schools.”

Also speaking, UBEC’s Quality Assurance Director, Malam Mansir Idris, said: “It is pertinent that we recognise the dynamism of quality assurance and understand the need for change if we must succeed.

“We must not continue to do the same thing if we are not getting the desired results, we need to be more pro-active and adopt a broad-based remedy to assure quality inputs and outcome in basic education.”

Idris said that the training would be conducted in all the remaining zones to bring all quality assurance officers on the same page.

Firms partner to train 1,300 teachers in Maths, Science In its drive to leverage on cutting edge technology to improve the quality Mathematics and Science education in Nigeria, School Kits Limited, Nigeria’s authorised distributor of original CASIO Calculators, has announced its partnership agreement with Casio Middle East to enhance the skills of 1,300 Mathematics and Science teachers.

The training programme is a bold move to boost the knowledge of Math and Science in Nigeria.

Speaking during the event, the MD/CEO School Kits, School Kits, Mrs. Temilola Adepetun, stated that the Casio’s Scientific Calculator has become an indispensable tool for every successful student across the world.

She said: ‘‘As our world gets smaller and indeed more complex, Casio Middle East has innovatively iterated and designed scientific calculators capable of solving even more complex problems. It is indeed our hope that this training would add significant value to the development of Math and Science education through capacity development and knowledge sharing

for the Teachers and by extension, students in Nigeria.

“School kits will remain always a supportive corporation for Nigeria, thus we ensure to complete the plan in implementing the training programme and reach the objective set for this plan.

School Kits will be ready and open to work closely with Nigerian schools to implement all programs related to mathematics and CASIO Standard Scientific calculators”.

In the same vein, Vice President of Mathematics Association of Nigeria, Mr. Mamman Musa, outlined some major milestones achieved with this partnership, saying, ‘with this collaborative effort with School Kits, our Mathematics teachers can rely on the technology necessary to enhance Math and Science the student’s skills.

Children can also begin to learn to apply mathematics in solving real life challenges. We appreciate the efforts of School Kits Limited to train, nurture and equip our Nigerian mathematics teachers to promote a more lively and rewarding teaching of mathematics in

our schools’’.

He urged Mathematics teachers to take full advantage of the opportunity and commended School Kits Limited for showing faith in Nigeria’s education system.

“As Math teachers association, we are proud to host such events in our country with all our respected partners.

From our side, our role is to highlight educational trainings that enhance teachers skills which will be reflected on students and education sector overall in this event and future one, ’’ he added.

Commenting on the partnership arrangement, Managing Director, Casio Middle East, Mr. Koji Naka, explained the rationale behind this move.

“We believe in the level of skills of math and science teachers in Nigeria and the African region. Our vision is to promote technology in the field of mathematics and science in Nigeria. Our aim is to support the youth future and to train teachers in line with the latest trends in the basic education system,” he stated.

The 59th Inaugural Lecturer of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) Prof. Goke Bodunde has called on the government to enforce the ban clauses on various agricultural products particularly tomato paste as some imported pastes contain up to 50% starch before dilution in Nigeria where an additional 15% starch is often added.

The Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Management made this call while delivering his inaugural lecture titled, “Unveiling the Beauty of an Unforbidden Fruit”.

He condemned the importation of substandard tomato paste and the consumption of rotten tomato fruits often called esha in tomato markets of South Western Nigeria, which he attributed to poor yield of tomato.

According to him, although tomato is considered vital and almost inevitable in human nutrition which qualifies it as one un-forbidden fruit, however, Nigeria has the poorest yield performance in the world with about 4-5 tonnes per hectare, compared to Egypt that records a yield of 39.7t/ha and South Africa with 78.7t/ha.

Prof. Bodunde ascribed the low productivity in Nigeria to environmental and Managerial factors, noting that these factors conspire to make Nigeria a producer of just 2% of the total world output of tomato fruits in spite of huge total land area cultivated.

The Inaugural Lecturer stated that on account of low production and the dietary compulsion of tomato in culinary use, a number of abuses detrimental to human health in an attempt to make the product available have been observed.

“This is the story of some of the tomato paste and puree imported into Nigeria, 91.1% of which according to NAFDAC (2015), failed to meet the required standard.

“It is noteworthy that most of the paste are imported as concentrates in drums and big cans from Italy, India and China. They are usually diluted, packaged and finally canned by various canning industries in Nigeria,” he said.

Speaking on the way forward, the University don recommended that the University which is endowed with huge human and material potentials can and should promote interest in research along the tomato value chain, through IFSERAR as this can make a difference in tomato availability in south western Nigeria.

He also suggested that Universities and Research Institutes should encourage researchers’ adoption of crop commodities for crop-based research to reap the benefit of comparative advantage of indepth knowledge of individual crops toward improving research and adding value to research results.

Professor Bodunde strongly advocated for investment in tomato canning industry by the private sector and government in Nigeria as well as the promotion of research-industry linkage.

The Inaugural lecturer disclosed that research funding remains a huge limitation to agricultural development in Nigeria and called on relevant arms of government to treat agricultural research funding as a concurrent responsibility for Federal, State and Local Government tiers.

He also advised Government to consider a complementary and functionary means of funding agricultural research in Nigeria through an arrangement similar to how education funding is complemented and subsidised by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

Speaking at the occasion, the ViceChancellor, Professor Kolawole Salako, stated that the 59th Inaugural Lecture was the 6th he would be presiding-over as the Vice-Chancellor.

Victor Osimhen arrives France for Lille medical Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen arrived France on Tuesday for his medical ahead of the proposed move to Ligue one outfit, Lille.

Belgian club, Sporting Charleroi and Lille have reportedly agreed a €12m fee for the young striker with the player and his representatives expected to sort out the other details in the contract.

Osimhen is expected to sign a five- year

contract with Lille upon the completion of the medical examination.

The 20-year-old will come in as a replacement for Portuguese forward, Rafael Leao who is on his way to linking up with Italian giants, AC Milan.

Osimhen joined Charleroi on loan from German club Wolfsburg last August. He scored 20 goals in 36 games for the club.

Charleroi activated their option to acquire Osimhen at the end of the season following his satisfactory performances while on loan.

His impressive showing for the club also helped him make Nigeria’s 23-man list to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

He made just one appearance in the competition as the Super Eagles progressed to win the bronze medal.

Social Cohesion in Nigeria: The Anambra Example Wahab Shittu A speech delivered by C.Don Adinuba, the Honourable Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment in Anambra State, at the Conference tagged, “Criminality and Violence as Growing Phenomena in the 21st Century Globalised World,” organised by the Grace Uzoma Okonkwo Foundation in collaboration with the Department of English & Literary Studies, University of Nigeria Nsukka held on Monday, July 29, 2019, at the University of Nigeria.

With a gross domestic product (GDP) of $13.77 billion out of Nigeria’s $375.8 billion, and with GDP per capita of $2,295 as against Nigeria’s GDP per capita of $1,968; Anambra State has the fourth healthiest economy among the 36 States in Nigeria plus the Federal Capital Territory. If it were a nation, its GDP per capita would be the 17th biggest in Africa, ahead of countries like Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The recent national recession had a minimum impact on our State because the government introduced a stimulus package which caused the most vulnerable in our midst to be exempted from tax and some other official payments. Our upward salary review- the only State to do so in the last six years- as well as the regular salary payment ensured constant circulation of money in the State. The massive influx of investments into Anambra State, amounting to some $4 billion, is another significant factor in the impressive economic performance in recent times.To state the obvious, all these would not have been possible if the security situation in Anambra had not been exemplary. Our State is today adjudged the safest in the whole of Nigeria. Our new status is a huge leap from what the security situation was, less than six years ago. We were almost overrun by kidnappers and armed robbers, who were variously reported to be better equipped than most policemen.

Our most successful men and women were compelled to abandon their communities.

We saw entrepreneurs like Sir Elvis Emecheta from Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area take their factories to places like Abuja. For the first time, we saw even custodians of our culture conduct their daughters’ traditional marriages in faraway places like Lagos. An example is Chief C. C. Ifeanyi, an Ichie in Ihiala and a former President of the Association of Anambra Town Unions (ASATU) in Lagos.

Umunne m, I regret that even to this day, we have not known the whereabouts of the traditional ruler of Ihembosi in Ekwusigo Local Government Area who was kidnapped six years ago.

Within two years of assuming office, the present administration made, not just kidnapping, but also armed robbery other violent crimes practically a thing of the past.

A lot of thinking and innovations went into making our beloved Anambra Nigeria’s safest State within a short period. This is a noble example of the difference which effective leadership makes in every society.

Anambra is no longer just the safest State in Nigeria; it is the most peaceful, the most united and the most socially harmonious.

Let the facts speak.

On March 17, 2018, when Governor Willie Obiano was sworn in for a second tenure, the impressive crowd was indeed a rainbow coalition. It comprised the everyday people who made him Nigeria’s first “21-Over-21” Governor, and instructively those who ran against him in the historic March 17, 2017, gubernatorial polls. Godwin Ezeemo, the Progressive Party Alliance (PPA) candidate, was one of them. In the VIP Stand were also

distinguished politicians from the so-called opposition parties like the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Quite a number came from outside the State like Senator Ken Nnamani, a former Senate President, as well as various state governors. Most leading entrepreneurs from Anambra State like Dr ABC Orjiako, Chief Allen Onyema and Mr Cosmas Maduka, who as a matter of principle do not associate with any political party, were there in solidarity with- not just him- but the good people of Anambra State. It was the first time in recent decades in our country that leading members of the opposition, including the very candidates who contested against the winner, demonstrated such magnanimity and solidarity. It is needless to mention that, for the first time in our recent history, candidates of the main political parties did not challenge the election result but rather wrote congratulatory messages to the winner. Hitherto, our politicians and candidates would go all the way to the Supreme Court on flimsy grounds. Olusegun Adeniyi, Chairman of Thisday Editorial Board, reported ex President Goodluck Jonathan as stating, in an interview for his book on why Dr Jonathan lost the 2015 Presidential Elections, that Anambra politicians used to obtain contradictory court judgments making each person the candidate of his or her party in an election. The court action in most cases lasted throughout the term of office in contention. But things are now different. A new spirit is at work in Anambra State.

This spirit signifies another massive leap from the dark days of bitter partisan politics in the State. Anambra is so peaceful and cohesive today that many have forgotten that this is the same State where, only a few years ago, a sitting governor was abducted by his own party men over political differences. This is the same State where the governor-elect was taken to a shrine in the dead of the night by his own party leaders to swear an oath of perpetual and uncritical allegiance to so-called godfathers over spoils of office. This is the same State where some politicians carried out mayhem for three days- destroying in broad daylight such institutions and facilities as Government House in Awka, the Governor’s Lodge in Onitsha, the House of Assembly Complex, the Judicial Complex and the Anambra Broadcasting Service. We thank God that our State is today an oasis of peace, tranquility and growth. A new spirit is, indeed, at work!

The new spirit is reflected in the elegant and elaborate farewell which the Anambra State Government accorded former Vice President Alex Ekwueme (GCON) early last year. He was deserving of the great honour.

Dr Ekwueme was one of the greatest statesmen ever produced on the African Continent. In rolling out the drums for him, the Anambra State Government, controlled by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), did not mind that the fallen former Vice President was a member of a rival party (PDP), a party which he led and practically founded. In fact, Dr Ekwueme’s first child, Mrs Chidi Onyemelukwe, practically ran against Gov Willie Obiano in the November 17 election. She was the PDP deputy governorship candidate. Dr Ekwueme died only two days after the election. In the new Anambra State which is now evolving, we do not discriminate or harbour bitterness.

The late Professor Ali Mazrui, the most published African scholar, would refer to the new Anambra State as a good example of what he called ‘Africa’s short memory of hate’.

In the new Anambra State, we make reconciliation, peace, tranquility and harmony a way of life. This is why Obiano

Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra State

extended the Olive Branch on Friday, August 4, 2016, to his friend and predecessor, Chief Peter Greg Obi, CON, KSG, when it was reported in the media that the former governor was bearing a grudge against him over an issue which he still has not been able to comprehend. Chief Obiano chose to show the Olive Branch on an auspicious occasion: the burial mass of their common principal at Christ the King College in Onitsha, Reverend Father Nicholas Tagbo, which was attended by a large crowd.

The governor was inspired by the golden words of Pope John Paul the Second expressed during his visit to Nigeria in March, 1998, to beatify Venerable Michael Cyprian Iwene Tansi, a proud son of Anambra State. It was a tense moment in Nigeria’s history. Chief M.K.O. Abiola, the winner of the June 12 1993 presidential election, and many other prominent Nigerians were in incarceration. In his homily entitled “Be Reconciled”, Pope John Paul admonished the General Sani Abacha military government and other African governments to reconcile their peoples, “All Nigerians must work to rid society of everything that offends the dignity of the human person or violates human rights. This means reconciling differences, overcoming ethnic rivalries, and injecting honesty, efficiency and competence into the art of governing… when we see others as brothers and sisters, it is then possible to begin the process of healing the divisions within society and between ethnic groups.

This is the reconciliation which is the path to true peace and authentic progress for Nigeria and for Africa. This reconciliation is not weakness or cowardice. On the contrary, it demands courage and sometimes even heroism. It is victory over self rather than over others”.

Reconciliation, peace and equity are, to us, articles of faith because of the far-reaching effects. We believe passionately in Onye aghana nwanne ya. Our administration

decided to pay two of Governor Obiano’s predecessors, Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju and Dr Chris Ngige, their pensions and other entitlements denied them for years for unexplained reasons. Frankly, I do not think we did them a supreme favour by paying them. The law provides for their pensions and other entitlements like other former governors. We merely obeyed the law, fully conscious that doing so would help bring about reconciliation, peace and harmony in the State. We not only believe but also practise the philosophy of Onye aghana nwanne ya.

Anambra State is today a perfect example of a place where different ethnic groups and religious traditions exist in harmony. The Fulani herdsmen, for example, have testified on different occasions that they feel very much at home in our State. We got them to sign an agreement with crop farmers as well as communities with significant Fulani settlements on how each group could conduct its business peacefully. This agreement is applied strictly, regardless of whose ox is gored. Any person whose crops are destroyed by animals is quickly paid an adequate compensation and any person who injures or kills a herd of cattle is made to appropriately pay for it. All stakeholders acknowledge that the policy is just and works for the benefit of all. …..I have never seen NdiAnambra so proud of their State as in recent years. I have never seen our people so optimistic of the future of their State. I have never seen our people repose so much confidence in the leadership of their State. An increasing number of wealthy persons working outside their state now pay their taxes in the state because of their growing faith in their State’s leadership. They are confident that their taxes will be used strictly for the development of their homeland. We thank such persons for their faith. We thank them for their patriotism. History will be kind to them.

In October, 2015, former US First Lady Hillary Clinton was questioned by the country’s senate for 11 hours at a stretch, over an incident the led to the killing of four American in Bengazi, Libya, while she was Secretary of State in 2012.

Because four American died in the Bengazi attack, a former First Lady and later, Secretary of State, was grilled by lawmakers, because of the value they placed on their country and the welfare of its citizens.

But last week, President Muhammadu Buhari submitted the much awaited list of ministerial nominees containing names of 43 people that would serve in his cabinet for the next four years.

Less than 48 hours after they received the list, the senators began what was supposed to be screening or interview of the nominees with more than 30 of them cleared within just two days.

Rather than subject the nominees to scrutiny to know whether or not they are competent to serve the nation and engender meaningful development, the senate, led by its president, Ahmed Lawal simply patronized them by asking that they should take a bow and go; and that was for so many of them.

Even those that were asked questions spent their time spewing gibberish that Nigerians knew was blatant lies. And because the President refused as usual to pencil the portfolios he plan to assign the nominees to, the questions were more like current affairs or social studies meant for secondary school students.

There are many questions begging for answers concerning the ways and manner both the executive and the senate are carrying on the very crucial assignment of selecting those that would take charge of strategic ministries in the next four years, on behalf of the people.

In the first place, was it a deliberately calculated tactics that Buhari submitted the list of nominees a few days to the date the lawmakers would commence their recess so that it would be rushed as is being done now?

The second question is, were the names of the nominees submitted to the security agencies for background checks as used to be the practice? When did the president submit the names and to which agencies? This is because many of them have criminal cases in court while others are still undergoing investigation for allegedly stealing billions of Naira belonging to the people.

A nation’s senate and the coming mediocre cabinet The third question is, on what basis, what criteria, were these men and a few women selected to serve as Nigeria’s ministers? Was it for political patronage, just to compensate party members that lost elections or to create jobs for the ‘boy,’ as they say in Nigeria?

If it were not so, what qualifies Uche Ogah for nomination to serve as minister? Someone who has been selling petrol without requisite technical know-how for such exalted position?

What qualifies Rauf Aregbesola whose eight years in office as Osun state governor has been described by many as monumental failure?

Was Godswill Akpabio nominated to serve as minister merely because he defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and ‘contributed immensely’ to the party during the last election? What about the N100billion allegations for which EFCC was grilling him before this nomination?

For what reason should Ogbonaya Onu return as minister when nearly four years the ministry of science and technology that he supervised still could not produce pencils as he boasted? Then there is Chris Ngige who mocked himself when he said that Nigeria has more medical doctors than required, and Babatude Fashola who was once described as the ‘minister for darkness because of his dismal performance in the power sector,’ then these Akpa Udo, Timipre Sylva, Adamu Adamu (again/) after the shameful performance of the education sector under him; George Akume (being recycled so many times), Paullen Tallen and Mohammed Adamu.

If we decide to close one eye and excuse the above names on grounds that they, at least, served in the last cabinet, even though they ended up as total disappointments; from where are the names listed below coming from? In which corporate organizations in Nigeria or internationally have they worked to prove their mettle before being invited for this higher national service to motherland?

Where are names like Sadiya Farouk, Shewuye, Isa Pantami, Ramatu Tijani, Clement Abam, Tayo Alasaodura, Maryam

Lawan Katagun, Sabo Nano, Emeka Nwajuba and Zubair Dada coming from? This is because when the likes of Soludo, Oby Ezekwesili, Nasir El-Rufai and the rest were announced as appointees of Obasanjo, Nigerians immediately knew they had ‘addresses’ as they say in Anambra state, because they had already made their marks elsewhere in the corporate world and were being invited for their expertise and the value they would bring into the system.

Most of the people that made Buhari’s list are not just colourless, they are jobless characters that have nothing to give because they don’t have anything to offer, people whose occupation has been to contest elections and fail, so that they can be considered for one appointment or the other.

Following his re-election in February, it took Buhari six months to decide on whom to work with this time and after such a long wait, these are the names the president could come up with as ministers.

Compare this with the United Kingdom Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. His predecessor Theresa May simply went to

Queen Elizabeth to announce her resignation, and Johnson who had earlier been elected was invited by the Queen and asked to go and form a government. The following day, Johnson announced his cabinet and addressed the country outside No. 10 Downing Street commencing his administration.

These took less than two hours.

There were no ceremonies, no gunshots, no budgetary expenses for swearing-in ceremonies, no fanfare.

But here, after wasting hundreds of billions of Naira on elections that are allegedly rigged, we spend months preparing to swear in some funny characters into executive and legislative positions, only for them to end up clueless on how to govern and then the nation blind.

It is painful that after waiting for six months, Buhari could not find competent Nigerians from across all divides to give Nigeria a new direction like former president Olusegun Obasanjo did in 1999 when he went round the world to fish out competent citizens like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Chukwuma Soludo, Mutkar Mansur, Dora Akunyili, Nasir El-Rufai, Aruma

Oteh and the rest of them to serve their fatherland?

If Nigerians went through hell to survive the last four years of Buhari’s administration, one can imagine what the future holds for the nation and its citizens with the characters the president has lined up as ministers this time.

In the last four years, insecurity has reached its peak with the lives of Nigerians now worthless as dozens are killed every minute of the day without anybody held accountable.

Under Fashola, Nigerians lived in darkness; there was virtually no minister for the FCT as the man Buhari put there was completely absent from duty; the economy of the country is in tatters with unemployment at the highest level, same with inflation rate while the value of the Naira has remained at N360 to one Dollar, among many unfortunates.

With many of the same people being called back to work, there is no reason not to believe that the next four years would be as empty, if not worse for the greater majority of citizens, even as our common patrimony will still be looted by the select privileged.

How the Lawan Senate

Sports WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2019

VOL. 3

NO. 1,004

N100

Times Guest Columnist

By Reuben Abati

Senator Ahmed Lawan is the Chairman and President of Nigeria’s 9thNational Assembly.

His emergence as Senate President was prefaced by a lot of politicking and brick-bats within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of which he is a member and between members of that party and the opposition parties particularly the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the country’s former ruling party, now the main opposition.

The PDP wanted a power-sharing arrangement if not a competition for space and influence in the entire National Assembly. Leaders of the APC insisted on a winner-takesit-all proposition, especially with regard to the principal positions in the National Assembly. The APC went a step further: it insisted on anointing those persons the party’s chieftains wanted to be in charge of the National Assembly. The obvious reason for this desperation, and the attached emphasis on loyalty to the party, can be traced to the fact that in 2015, the politics of the leadership of the National Assembly was hijacked by forces led by Senator Bukola Saraki. Party leaders were left wondering what hit them.

By the time the dust settled, Saraki and his team had taken over control of the Senate. Yakubu Dogara and his Democrats team dominated the leadership of the House of Representatives. Saraki as Chairman of the National Assembly and Yakubu Dogara as Speaker of the House of Representatives were both members of the ruling APC, but they were independent-minded and determined to lead an independent legislature. The Godfathers of the party who believed it was their divine right to dictate the direction of not just the party but the entire government could not control them. From 2015- 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari thus had a testy relationship with the National Assembly, especially the Senate as the Saraki-Dogara-led 8thNational Assembly refused to be intimidated.

The ruling establishment would not take things lightly. Saraki and his wife were charged with corruption. Saraki was taken to the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accused Saraki of malfeasance and also investigated his wife. Key bills sent to the President for his signature were rejected and sent back. Budget proposals took months, because the Presidency and the Legislature could not agree on the details. Saraki and Dogara later moved to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Yakubu Dogara would also not show any iota of enthusiasm to become a sycophant of the Executive arm of the government. President Buhari is on record as having accused both men of “lack of patriotism”.

For all of this and other reasons, you can forgive the chieftains of the APC for seeking to make life easier for the President by seeking to impose a pliant, malleable and “loyal’ Federal legislature on Nigeria after the 2019 general elections. The intention of the leaders of the APC, relying on the declared victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC in 2019, is as we have seen, to protect the Executive arm of government at the Federal level. Hence, they named the principal officers of the National Assembly long before the votes were cast in accordance with Section 50 of the 1999 Constitution. They had their way. Everything went exactly according to the ruling party’s dictates. But then, this automatically created a moral dilemma for the newly emerged principal officers of the National Assembly. The dilemma is this: having emerged as anointed candidates of party leaders and the President, would they act in the national interest and run an independent legislature in line with the doctrine of the separation of powers? Will a National Assembly led by Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila perform its expected oversight functions and be accountable to the people of Nigeria?

Or will it end up as a rubberstamp Assembly, acquiescent and subservient? Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila promised to be independent and be the best that they can be, even if I recall that they both said also, that they would not go out of their way to antagonize the Executive.

Since the inauguration of the National Assembly on June 11, the Speaker of the House of Representatives has been accused of using the platform of the Blue Chamber to do the bidding of a party chieftain. We refer to the crisis in Edo State over the proclamation order inaugurating the Edo State House of Assembly, and the threat by the House of Representatives to take over that Legislative Assembly, after a session that dripped with emotionalism and sycophantic bias. Before then, shortly after inauguration, the leadership of the 9thNational Assembly had also been accused of sucking up too recklessly to the Presidency, seen as they were, going to the Presidential Villa to genuflect to the President.

But the most shocking development since the June 11 inauguration is the manner in which the Senate has failed its first major test, with regard to the screening of Ministerial nominees for President Muhammadu Buhari’s secondterm cabinet (2019 -2023). In 2015, it took President Muhammadu Buhari about 6 months to appoint a cabinet of 36 persons. Many Nigerians were disappointed.

Such delay over an important task of statecraft creates uncertainty,

promotes distortions and compels the investment community to become apprehensive. The absence of a functioning government and an Executive arm in charge of so many constitutional responsibilities slows down the country. The Buhari government practically struggled through its first term because it failed to hit the ground running. Buhari’s apologists choose to blame past administrations for this omission. There are Nigerians and international observers who disagree with them, and who submit that such delay should not be allowed to repeat itself ever again.

Someone asked Festus Keyamo to recite the second stanza of the National Anthem, but the Senate President who had reduced himself shamelessly to the role of a goalkeeper of the Buhari FC, raised an objection and directed that the question should not be asked. I also don’t think that was an intelligent question but generally, the Senators could not come up with anything more intelligent other than to ask Junior WAEC questions because they were probing in the dark. Nobody knew the portfolios of the would-be Ministers. Hence, the entire exercise was at best a guess-work. Rather than insist that the President should provide the portfolios forthwith as many Nigerians had demanded, the Senate turned itself into a Presidential Liaison Office and started arguing that there is no such provision in the Nigerian Constitution. Is it everything that is written into the Constitution?

Common sense is important in legislative work. But nowhere do the framers of the Constitution write expressly that the law must be interpreted in accordance with the rules of commonsense and equity, even when anything to the contrary would amount to a violation of the law.

Ahmed Lawan’s Senate lacks the moral right to reject any Ministerial nominee. It would have been better, all things considered, if the lawmakers had just received the President’s list, endorsed it at one sitting, and proceeded promptly on their recess. The utterly incompetent screening process, the Senate’s silly extension of its scope of discretion and the sheer display of sycophancy - clearly confirm the impression that this is simpliciter, a rubber stamp National Assembly. In the end, the Constitution grants the President of Nigeria the powers to choose his own team as he deems fit. It is just that a cabinet list of party apologists and loyal associates is not in Nigeria’s best interest. Not seeing through that, Ahmed Lawan’s National Assembly is most urgently in need of soul-searching, re-set and sober reflection. This should be the next assignment for a seemingly heavily compromised 9th Assembly.

Ola Aina: Afcon bronze good, I want the title next Ola Aina wants a taste of more laurels with the Super Eagles following the side’s third place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
