Daily Times Nigeria Tuesday, February 5, 2019

Anxiety trails non-release of probe report on suspended NHIS boss Continued from page 1 are waiting anxiously for information on the outcome of the panel set up to probe allegations of corruption levelled against him. The report of an investigative committee set up to look into allegations of fraud against Prof. Yusuf was said to have been submitted to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha few days to the end December 2018. However, more than one month after its submission, the report has not been made public by Federal Government. Meanwhile, a top anonymous source from the NHIS, who spoke with The Daily Times on Monday warned the Federal Government not to dream of idea of sweeping the report under the carpet. The source, who wondered why the report has not been made public more than a month after its submission, urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to be transparent, accountable and just in handling the matter which he described as “sensitive”. “Sweeping the report under the carpet will erode public confidence and cast doubt on the sincerity of government and its fight against corruption,” the source added. The report of the panel was submitted to the SGF amidst speculation that some powerful individuals in the corridors of power had attempted to sweep the matter under the carpet. Those who held the opinion expressed the fear that the report and the recommendations of the panel on the crisis, despite its submission, might never be made public or implemented. While receiving the report in his office in December, the SGF, Boss Mustapha, had defended the lateness of the submission of the report of the seven-man independent fact-finding panel, saying the need for a thorough investigation of the crisis in the NHIS compelled the panel to complete the assignment more than seven weeks after it was inaugurated, instead of the two-week period given it. He also said the report would be made public after its presentation to President Buhari. In the meantime, civil society organisations and human rights activists have

questioned the delay by Federal Government to act on the investigative report on the suspended NHIS ES. They wondered why the Federal Government had failed to take action on the investigative report which was submitted by the probe panel set up by President Buhari since December 24, 2018. Speaking, Chairman of the Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, an anti-corruption group, Mr. Debo Adeniran, called on President Buhari to also treat Prof. Yusuf’s case with equal passion with which he treated the allegation of non-assets declaration by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen. Adeniran said: “What we believe is that government should treat all cases with equal passion and whenever they don’t do that they owe the public an explanation. Double standard application of rules and regulations is not good for the interest of the populace. There is hardly anything we can do when the panel report is in the hands of those who should execute it and they have not. “We are using the dispatch with which the Onnoghen case was treated to assess the sincerity of the government and benchmark what is going to be happening to other cases of alleged corruption”. Also speaking, a former Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Monday Ubani, said: “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If you do it for A, extend it also to B. If that report has been submitted over a month ago and nothing has been done about it, it doesn’t speak well. Let’s get a nation that is working; whatever you are applying to A, apply it to B. It is when you do this that everybody will believe in the anti-corruption fight and support it”. When contacted, the Assistant Director of Communication, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olusegun Adetola, told our correspondent that the report of the NHIS investigation panel, which was submitted to the SGF, Boss Mustapha, on December 24, 2018 would be made public at the appropriate time. “The report was submitted in December a few days before 2018 ended and the SGF said that it would be presented

to President Muhammadu Buhari after which it would be made public. There is no other update more than what we have. The NHIS board meeting did not hold in December probably because the probe panel had not concluded its assignment at the time,” he said. Also, a source at the Federal Ministry of Health, when contacted, declined to comment on the issue, saying, “The matter is above me. I can’t speak about it please”. Meanwhile, NHIS spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, said the board overseeing the affairs of the scheme had not been dissolved. “The board still exists. There is no directive from the Federal Government that the NHIS board should be dissolved even though it did not hold its meeting in December,” he said. The Daily Times recalls that Yusuf’s trouble began when the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, suspended him in July 2017 over an alleged N919 million fraud. President Buhari, however, overruled the Health minister and reinstated Yusuf in February, 2018. In reinstating Yusuf, the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, said the NHIS boss had been “admonished to work harmoniously with the minister”. However, the Governing Board of the NHIS on October 18, 2018 announced the indefinite suspension of Yusuf and appointed Sadiq Abubakar as the acting Executive Secretary. Yusuf, however, spurned his suspension by the NHIS Governing Board and went to office in the morning of October 22, 2018 accompanied by about 50 policemen, who fired tear gas canister at staff that attempted to stop him from entering the NHIS premises. Intervening, President Buhari converted Yusuf’s suspension to an administrative leave and set up a probe panel on November 2, 2018, to look into the allegations against Yusuf. The President gave the probe panel two weeks to submit its report, but the report was not submitted until December 24, 2018. Over a month after the report was submitted, the Federal Government has not spoken on Yusuf’s case.

Corruption still pervades some MDAs despite our effort – Buhari Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has lamented that despite his administration’s anti-corruption drive, some agencies of government still divert or refuse to fully account for revenue generated. The President, however, noted that the ordinary people in the country understand and support his administration’s fight against corruption, adding that those opposing the fight against corruption, “are only pretending not to know what corruption is.” Buhari said this on Monday during the swearing-in of Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) Board members at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Rather than obey constitutional provisions and extant rules and regulations, President Buhari noted, such agencies continue as if nothing has changed. He said: “We are determined to ensure that every agency of government account for public revenue generated or expended. I am looking forward to ICPC’s support both for enforcement of anti-corruption laws and submission of policy measures and directives to prevent revenue leakage and diversion. “In this regard, I urge you to collaborate with other government agencies such as the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation towards mitigating wrong-doing in public expenditure. Furthermore, I look forward to receiving anti-corruption recommendations linked to e-Government standards and principles. “As the old saying goes –’Prevention is better than cure’. Your statutory mandate recognises this principle. Therefore, I encourage you to come up with strong preventive policy measures and strategies for government’s endorsement to take us to the NEXT LEVEL in the fight against corruption. I am aware that the ICPC laws empower you to make proposals to assist government in this fight. “Today’s occasion is the continuation of this Administration’s fight against corruption. It is a cardinal programme in the three point agenda that I promised to pursue and will continue to pursue as I seek the mandate of Nigerians for a second term. “The fight against corruption is very crucial in our national development. This is why I have often said – if we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria. “We are all witnesses to the damage that unbridled corruption has inflicted on our development aspirations. Apart from deliberate and wanton looting of our national wealth and common patrimony, corruption has eroded our values and ethical foundation as a nation. “Corruption has negatively affected our political, economic and social life. Those opposed to our fight against corruption berate us for our focus, determination and single mindedness. They pretend that they do not know what corruption is. “But Nigerians know what corruption is. Ordinary people know what corruption is and they support our effort and determination to fight it.” The President also listed the various forms of corruption in the public service.

Buhari added that the abuse of public office for private gain represents corruption in its worst form. According to him, the circumvention of public policies and processes for competitive advantage and profit is another form of corruption. “The abuse of public office for personal benefit even if no bribery occurs is also corruption. The diversion of State revenue or miss-application of budgeted funds falls into the same category. “I am particularly delighted that the ICPC law under which you will operate is robust enough to assist government to sanitise the public sector of corruption in service delivery, public procurement, diversion of public revenue, deliberate misuse of public funds, and so on.” He insisted that all government agencies must give account of public funds. “Just about a month ago, I opened your Corruption Risk Assessment training for anti-corruption agencies in Africa. That initiative, in support of my role as the AU anti-corruption champion is welcome, and I Iook forward to seeing ICPC distinguish itself as a leading institution in Africa in building capacity to conduct and implement corruption risk assessments. “But charity must begin at home. Therefore, your skills and expertise must be demonstrated in identifying MDAs highly prone to corruption and what must be done to bring about better governance. “I am also aware that you have set up Anti-Corruption Transparency Unit in Ministries, Departments and Agencies. This is an important step towards corruption prevention and ensuring full compliance with government’s anticorruption measures and our laws, ” he added. The President encouraged the ICPC to make effective use of ACTU in MDAs by receiving reports directly from such Units and taking enforcement measures to assist government realise its objectives of a cleaner public service. “I congratulate you on your appointment. My resolve to fight corruption remains unshaken. I assure you of my full support in the fight against corruption in Nigeria,” he said. The ICPC Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, in his acceptance speech on behalf of members, said they were lucky to be given the assignment because under President Buhari’s leadership, the president is “unquestionable, unequivocal and unshakable resolve to deal with corruption is very well known.” Owasanoye said: “Therefore, the political will required to fight corruption is available. “I pledge on behave of the commission and members that we will do our best not to disappoint you or disappoint the country.” Other members of the board include Dr. Grace Chinda, Okolo Titus, Obiora Igwedebia, Mrs. Olubukola Balogun, Justice Adams Bello, Hannatu Muhammed, Abdullahi Saidu, and Yahaya Dauda. In a related development, President Buhari has reiterated the determination of his administration to rid the country of injustice and corruption, warning that any person who cheated or looted the nation will be brought to justice, irrespective of status of the person in

society. The President handed down the warning at an audience with South-West Imams and Islamic scholars on Sunday night at the State House, Abuja. He urged religious leaders in the country to spread the message among their followers of the government’s total determination to promote social justice across the entire society. Buhari said that the nation’s diverse religions and cultures teach justice by all and for all, adding the “unless there is justice for everyone, the country cannot progress.” The leader of the delegation, Sheik Abdulrasheed Hadiyatullah, described politics as the proper administration of public affairs and rebuilding what was destroyed. He commended President Buhari for doing just that, and assured him of support in reforming the country. “We have never seen a purposeful

Buhari government as this one. We have great respect for you. We will continue to support your war against corruption and

the programmes aimed at making life better for the generality of Nigerians,” Sheik Hadiyatullah declared.

FG accuses opposition of lobbying foreign countries to discredit 2019 poll Bonaventure Melah The Federal Government has raised the alarm that opposition parties in Nigeria have embarked on lobbying foreign missions with the aim of discrediting the outcome of the 2019 general election even before its conduct. Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the allegation on Monday at a press conference organised for senior journalists at the National Press Centre, Abuja. To achieve their aim, the Minister said opposition is sending a group that would travel to western countries to instigate foreign governments against the coming election. According to Lai Mohammed, the desperation of the opposition stems from the fact that they are aware of their imminent defeat at the polls, therefore have resorted to international blackmail. “Recall that on Monday, January 21st 2019, we alerted the nation, also via a press conference, to the plot by some opposition elements to scuttle the 2019 general election by instigating widespread violence across the country. Of course we didn’t just make this up. It was based on credible intelligence. We revealed that the plan to scuttle the polls is part of moves to push the nation into a constitutional crisis, with the plotters hoping they can leverage on that to push for an interim government. When we raised the alarm, the opposition dismissed it. Of course they were shocked to have been found out, so we understand their panic reaction. “To underscore the seriousness of our alert, a week after our press conference, the National Security Adviser (NSA) met with state governors to also inform them of this same plan to scuttle the polls via widespread violence. As I said at my last press conference, the alarm we raised is based on credible intelligence. “Today, still based on credible intelligence, we can reveal that the opposition is moving a step further. They are working hard to discredit the forthcoming election before, during and after the polls. Specifically, they are sending a delegation to some Western capitals, including London, Brussels and Washington DC, to push the concocted

line that the Buhari Administration has perfected the plan to rig the polls. They are therefore pushing for a rejection of the results if the President wins reelection. They are also predicting carnage in the event of the President’s victory,” he stated. Continuing, Lai Mohammed said that the opposition has set up a group to do dirty jobs in the manner similar to the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) which was used by opposition to scuttle the 1993 June 12 election. “They have been engaging in incendiary rhetoric and in making outlandish claims using several fronts, including the nebulous Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) which, by the way, is nothing more than a reincarnated Association for Better Nigeria (ABN). Of course you all know the role that the ABN played in the failed 1993 political transition process. “They have targeted, for attack, the two key institutions that are most critical to the success of the election: The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Police. They have used every malleable and malicious personality to make wild allegations against INEC. Their strategy is simple: Discredit the election even before it is held, and continue during and after the polls with a view to convincing the West - which they believe they have won to their side using lobbyist-propelled propaganda - that the election is not credible. “Some may ask: Why would the opposition go to this length? The answer is simple: They know, and are convinced, that they cannot win free, fair, credible and peaceful polls as the hand-writing in on the wall for all discerning people to see. While President Buhari has received warm and genuine reception and adulation from huge crowds everywhere he has gone to campaign, their candidate has been exposed to apathetic and thinning crowds! Their numbers just don’t add up! “On our part, we as an Administration are undaunted by their antics, even though we believe it is necessary to expose their evil plans - as we have been doing - to the world. President Muhammadu Buhari has repeatedly stated his commitment to ensuring a free, fair and violence-free election. He has no

doubt - based on testimonies of change from Nigerians - that the achievements of his Administration, in the three cardinal areas of fighting corruption, revamping the economy and fighting insecurity, will speak for him at the polls. He did not rig his way into office and has no need to rig now that he is in office”. The Minister said the reason for the conference therefore was to alert Nigerians and the global community to the following to note that among other things, that the desperate opposition is doing everything possible, including instigating widespread violence as well as relentless attacks on key institutions, to discredit the forthcoming election. They know they will lose the election, but they want victory by subterfuge. “To further their plan, the opposition is dispatching a 10-member delegation to some Western capitals, including London, Brussels and Washington, DC, to sell the idea that the Buhari Administration has perfected the plan to rig the election. They have no empirical basis for the idea they are pushing, beyond relying on exploiting the nation’s ‘fault lines’ of religion, ethnicity and regionalism. “The opposition is approaching the election with an incredible level of desperation. In this regard, they have activated their own version of the infamous Association for Better Nigeria (ABN), under the guise of CUPP, to engage in unrestrained rabble-rousing and frivolous court cases. Of course, the activities of CUPP in recent times are there for all to see, even though the coalition seems to be a very poor imitation of the original ABN”. Asked whether the president is willing to accept the outcome of the election if defeated, the Minister said the president has confidence in the improved electoral process and would accept the outcome. Reminded that his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) also sought the vigilance of the international community in 2015 when they were in opposition, Mohammed said they are not against anybody visiting any country, adding however that they never asked for the election to be discredited. In conclusion, the Minister called on Nigerians to be vigilant “as we begin the final Count-down to the elections,” adding that eternal vigilance is necessary this time.

Atiku promises restoration of peace in Zamfara, to repair Bakolori dam We’ll reject election results if process not credible, says Secondus

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has promised the people of Zamfara State provision of adequate security, restoration of peace and economic activities if elected president. Atiku, who sympathised with the people over state of insecurity occasions by incessant banditry and cattle rustling attacks on the people and their means of livelihood, said Zamfara people have suffered untold economic hardships, maiming and killings. He blamed the festering of insecurity crisis in the state on inability of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to provide adequate security for the citizenry. He said: “People of Zamfara State, where there is no security, there will be no farming, no business, no worship. Is that not the situation now? So one thing that we shall do for you all is to bring about peace at Zamfara State”. He, therefore, promised a new lease of life under a PDP government. “Once we return peace to Zamfara State, we are also going to create wealth, business and farming. “By Allah’s grace farming will return, wealth will return, businesses will blossom and the jobless youth will be employ,” he said. He also promised to repair of the Bakolori dam to serve the teeming farming population of the state by the PDP administration if voted to power. He said: “People of Zamfara, every one of you know the Bakolori Dam is it working now? We will repair the dam, so that it will work and serve you all. It will help the people of Zamfara State and the people around Zamfara”. Charging them to vote for PDP, Atiku said: “Zamfara people, this is the time for you all to say APC will not get any elective position in Zamfara. Therefore, the vote you will all vote, is PDP’s vote”. Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, again charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct free, fair and credible poll as the party will reject results of incredible

poll. He said the coming elections should not be rigged because of its importance in the history of the country. Secondus said: “We believe that elections should be fair, elections should be free elections, should be credible, that is the only way we can accept the result of the election. If the elections are not credible, if they are not free and fair, we will reject it, we will not accept it. “We also want to talk to INEC, we want to let INEC know that this election is the most important election in the history of our county. This election cannot be rigged. If they start rigging this election, they are breeding crises. We want to advice INEC not to rig this election, because the consequences will be great. Election rigging brings crises”. The chairman noted that the adoption of Atiku by leaders of five sociopolitical organisation on Sunday was an affirmation of the referendum by the people of Nigeria to vote Atiku as their president. “Only yesterday, leaders from across the country, from Arewa, from Ohaneze, from Niger Delta from the middle belt adopted our candidate as their candidate for the election but what did APC do, they said that they are too fast to conclude and that they are playing politics. “Can you play politics with hunger? No. Can you play politics with our Security? No. Leaders of this country has spoken just like the Zamfara people. It is time for us to bring onboard the man that will work for 24 hours in our country because currently APC government is sleeping on duty. “So we want to put on notice, like in Zamfara here, we know that APC cannot win election here, we know that the only person that can win election here is your son, us your governor, the next governor of Zamfara state, Dr. Bello, he said. Present at the rally were former governors of Sokoto and Kano State, Attahiru Bafarawa and Sen. Ibrahim Kwankwaso, former PDP Presidential candidate, Tanimu Turaki, former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu and other high profile party chieftains from the Northwest and Gen. Aliyu Gusau (rtd).

APC national secretariat burgled, FCT police arrest culprits Tom Okpe, Abuja The All Progressives Congress (APC) national Secretariat in Abuja has been burgled in the early hours of Monday in Abuja and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police have arrested the suspected criminals. Commissioner of Police (FCT) Command, Bala Ciroma, who confirmed this to journalists on Monday said, “Arrest has been made and investigation is going on”. Suspected robbers early Monday morning sneaked into APC National Secretariat at Blantyre Street, Wuse II, Abuja and attempted to cart away two air conditioners before they were caught by security men on duty at the secretariat. The hoodlum who gained entrance into the premises after destroying the security wire round the fence was said to have cart away two splitting air conditioners at

about 2.30 am. One of the Police personnel on duty during the incident told journalists that he heard some noise and he decided to check through the back of the building and on getting there shouted, then he answered from the main building not knowing the person he was seeing kneeling down was one of the robbers. “I moved closer and grabbed him from the back. The robbers had already removed one of the air conditioners and placed it on top of the fence for easy transfer to their waiting vehicle while the second one was nearly done with before they were nabbed. “Another was arrested across the fence after others had already taken to their heels. There is a clear evidence of the attackers cutting the security wires to secure entrance for their raid”. The two arrested suspected culprits at the time of this report are currently in Wuse ll Police Station undergoing interrogation.

February 16: Atiku and the restructuring bait

Emmanuel Imohinyang

One of the greatest pains of patriots who truly love the African continent is that it continues to lag behind despite her enormous potentials. Curiously, Africa’s bane has largely been due to Africans who continue to show contempt towards a continent so blessed in human and natural resources, though some still refer to her colonisation by foreign powers as a major drawback. Nigeria which was truly the giant of Africa is a typical case of the unfortunate scenario after showing some glimpses of greatness at infancy. Many still recall the Malaysia story where that country came to Nigeria many years ago to explore how she could tap the potentials of oil palm and is today a major foreign exchange earner from that produce, years after, while Nigeria continued it’s over reliance on oil until recently. Similar stories are legion, but the sad story was that Nigeria was almost left to bleed to death administration after administration, largely due to corruption, even as the civilian administrations did not fare better. Compared with other African countries, which have done better, the difference no doubt has been the issues of leadership and followership, which are very critical in any nation state. Though Nigeria like most other African countries has good people at various rungs of the ladder, what separates us from other nations is attitude. For instance, have you bothered to ask yourself why Nigerians especially the elite suddenly become mute when they see issues that are injurious to the health of the nation? Why do they look the other way when somebody tells us to our face, that he will do the impossible when he becomes the President, when we know

he lacks the antecedents? Why don’t they as opinion leaders shape the reasoning of the illiterates and vulnerable positively on issues of national importance as the coming election? These questions are germane when one considers the restructuring bait former Vice – President, Atiku Abubar has been dangling before Nigerians in the last few months. Suddenly, the Waziri Adamawa has become an advocate of restructuring after becoming the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Worse still, he says he would restructure Nigeria to correct imbalance in the system to ensure a level playing ground among all segments of the country within six months! Beautiful as his proposition appears, it still beats one hollow when one takes a critical look at both the message and the messenger. First, it appears that former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu was right after all when he queried Atiku’s democratic credentials. This is because questions about the former Vice President’s sudden romance with restructuring needed to be asked. Having been on the political turf and rising to the level of the nation’s number two, when and how did he join the restructuring train? Meanwhile, he also needs to be asked how he will achieve restructuring within six months in office, if he becomes President? This is in view of the fact that we are knowledgeable enough to know that restructuring cannot be achieved by executive fiat. Such a proposition therefore needs to go before the National Assembly, where the two arms would subject the issue to serious

debate before it can be actualized. Even foreigners have an idea about Nigerian’s complexity and what that therefore means is that some spade work would have to be done among critical stakeholders, even before such a bill is presented at all. This would no doubt require some time, even as government would also be busy with other germane issues of state, which means the six months proposed by Atiku is nothing but a fraud meant to hoodwink the electorate into voting for him as President. This reminds one of the emergency U – turn made by former President Goodluck Jonathan, who had all along rejected the idea of a national conference by Nigerians. His stand before the sudden change was that holding the conference may lead to end of the Nigerian nation and that he would not be party to such. However, Nigerians were shocked to see the same Jonathan telling them that he had suddenly had a change of mind due to superior argument. But those who saw through the script knew that the former President only shifted ground to fulfill the agenda of certain interests whom he relied on for votes. The outcome today is public knowledge. Though Jonathan wasted a substantial part of our commonwealth on that conference for personal gains, he was roundly defeated by President Muhammadu Buhari, who is widely respected for his integrity at the polls. Today, a similar scenario is playing out with former President Olusegun Obasanjo drumming support for Atiku to become the next President. Both Obasanjo and Atiku led this country for eight years and they never touched restructuring with a long pole while their administration lasted.

Atiku in particular is been clever by half in pushing his agenda during his political campaigns. Has anyone heard him pushing the restructuring agenda anywhere around the North? Never! However, the PDP candidate knows that restructuring is sweet music to the ears of those in the South and never forgets to drum it hard whenever he campaigns in the zone. This reminds one of the late political leader in a state in the North central and father of a leading Senator, who employed the strategy many years ago. Each time he took his presidential aspiration to the North, he was known and addressed with an Islamic name, a strategy devised to sway votes from the North, which is dominated by Muslims. In the South, he was simply addressed in his Yoruba name, to show his affinity with the South, especially the Yoruba – speaking areas. His posters were designed in like manner but his dream eventually hit the rocks for obvious reasons. As February 16 fast approaches, the time to put on our thinking caps is now, especially as we need to take a major decision about our future and our children’s future. This is in view of the fact that February 16 offers us a moment to decide whether to continue with a government that though not perfect, has shown prospects of a better future or one with an outlook of an uncertain future. That somebody who wants to become our President would declare equivocally that he would sell the NNPC to his friends as they also deserve to become rich raises fundamental questions even as the same fellow continues to contradict himself now and then on how he would tackle corruption.

Big Brother, small Naija

Fisayo Soyombo

Was anyone worried last week when reality television show Big Brother Naija kicked off the auditions for its 2019 edition? In each of the eight audition centres —Edo, Enugu, Lagos, Rivers, Oyo, Delta and Cross River states, plus the Federal Capital territory (FCT) — youth assembled in their tens of thousands to jostle for just 12 house spots (or maybe up to 20) available nationwide. They were so many that no single audition centre escaped crowd control issues. In Lagos alone, it has been claimed that over two days, the crowd was well over 10,000, which is plausible given that someone who arrived the centre at 5:35am on Friday was Number 679 in the queue; hundreds of them, it would later emerge, slept over at the venue on the eve of the audition kick-off. The broad-daylight latecomers were seen scaling or looking through the walls of the building to gain access to the venue. Abuja was so bad the Police fired teargas canisters to control the crowd. Since debuting in 2006, the BBN show has become notorious for its heavy dose of booze, sex and meaningless drama. This year, scandal-crazy Nigerians do not have to wait for the show to properly kick off. Game on, already! Among the numerous mouthwatering videos from the audition venues is one of some applicants answering the question:

“Where is the smartest place to have sex in the Big Brother House”? The answers range from “under the duvet” to “by night when everyone is sleeping” to “behind the door — the bed behind the door”. At one location, an aspiring BBN housemate fainted and was stripped to his underpants as part of his resuscitation process. Elsewhere, one man got on his knees at the audition and popped the question to his woman. Mercy Okadi Enoh, a middle-aged woman and fish, poultry and livestock farmer, turned up at the Lagos centre claiming she wants to go to the house to “make a difference” by being the “mama” of the housemates. That’s someone’s mum. In Abuja, a bra was found on the floor as the audition wound down; it is unclear if that was down to some raunchy action or the pushing and shoving at the venue. For those who are too serious to know, Big Brother Naija (originally Big Brother Nigeria) is the most lucrative, most exciting and most debated (all in one) reality competition in this country. A minimum of 12 housemates kick off the show — though two are sometimes added midway into the contest as genuine or fake housemates — seeking to ingratiate themselves with the public who, one by one, will evict the housemates till the last one standing is declared the winner and proud recipient of a whopping $100,000. That’s

N36.1million. There are unconfirmed reports this year’s prize could even be up to N45 million. To put this cash reward in context, there is no known Nigerian award for intellectual prowess in any discipline that offers more than $100,000. The only award that equals Big Brother Naija’s $100,000 is the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limitedsponsored Nigeria Prize for Literature. The NLNG Prize is not only the biggest literary prize in Africa and one of the world’s biggest, it has been won by an array of extraordinarily talented writers, including Soji Cole, Ikeogu Oke, Abubakar Ibrahim, Tade Ipadeola, Chika Unigwe, Kaine Agary and Mabel Segun. Each of these greats — and some even won it when it was $30,000 or $50,000 — won with end products of years of rigorous creative writing. In contrast, winning BBN’s $100,000 is not that taxing: get a hot body, which can be a six-pack or the hourglass shape; have a lot of sex in the open glare of the world; drink a lot of wine; smoke without restraint; bathe naked and act all shades of crazy every day for roughly four months. There really is no problem if a show rewards four months of pseudo-adult film plus idle chitchat with a prize money that demands years of brain work from others, but there’s a problem when

an increasingly rising youth population considers it their surest way to fame and fortune. It is normal that intellectuallyoriented affairs will always attract the least audience; the majority are always on the side of the empty. But the trafficcausing tumultuous crowd at the auditioning centres point to a deeper problem of declining values and the growing popularity of success through shortcuts. The kind of crowd at the BBN audition centres is symptomatic of a country that is not working. It is what you expect of a country where tertiary institution students have been out of school for three months due to an industrial action by lecturers, yet there are no protests. Meanwhile, there have been a series of protests over the planned-now-aborted impeachment of the Lagos Governor and the controversial ‘removal’ of Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN). It is what you get in a country where unemployment stats are not only worrisome, but where the future offers little hope. Most importantly, this is what you get in a country where the depth of thinking and values is, on the average, small. Big Brother Naija remains a big show, but that is only because we’re largely a small country starved of the kind of thinking that turn nations around.

Editorial Commentary Your right to vote and to vote wisely

Times Guest Columnist Dr. Jumai Ahmadu

Election is defined as a formal and organised way of choosing people for a political office or other positions. In Nigeria, elective democracy was introduced in May 1919, when the Township Ordinance gave right to vote for three members of Lagos Town Council to some men. The first election to the council was held on 29 March 1920. The first national election to be held in Nigeria was in 1959, and in 1965. Elections were held in the southern region of Nigeria. After a long period of military rule, the 1983 general election took place. This was however cut short by the December 1983 coup that brought Muhammadu Buhari as Head of State. In 1993, the country witnessed another general election that was adjudged as the most free, fair and credible elections by both local and international observers. The said election was presumably won by Chief MKO Abiola, but sadly the results were annulled by the then Military President General Ibrahim Babangida. From 1999 till date, the country has enjoyed uninterrupted democratic dispensation witnessing four successive elections and the fifth coming up in February 2019. Election makes a fundamental contribution to democratic governance as it enables voters and citizens to choose leaders and representatives and to hold them responsible and accountable for their actions in office as they are only elected to serve the people for a defined period of time as allowed by the country’s constitution. In a developed democracy, because those in elective positions are conscious of the fact that they are required to submit themselves for periodic elections, they tend to put in their best to serve the people knowing full well that their performance will be the determining factor for their re-election. This is why we have high rate of fulfilling election campaign promises; it also go beyond individual candidates vying for various elective positions to the general political ideology. Moreover, where the electoral processes is competitive and forces parties and candidates to expose their records and future performances to proper scrutiny, election serves as a platform for the discussions and debates on public issues and policies. It also serves as facilitator of public expressions. Election thus provides political education for citizens and ensures the responsiveness of democratic governments to the yearnings of the people. It also serves as acts to legitimise the acts of those who wields power. Elections seem to facilitate social and political integrations and it is also a tool to actualize a selfactualising purpose by confirming the worth and dignity of individual citizens as human beings. Whatever other needs, participations in an elections serves to reinforce the worth and self esteem of individual voters. As 2019 general elections draw nearer, voting gives the citizenry an opportunity to have a say in issues pertaining to their lives and through expressing partisanship, to satisfy their needs to have a sense of belonging. Seeing the importance of elections and the powers of the electorate, it is therefore important for the electorate to know those characteristics an individual possess before casting their votes. In that case, the electorate can be glad with the choice of the candidate he or she made to

represent them at all level since the aim is to bring development to their communities. Whether held under authoritarian or democratic regimes, election has ritualistic aspects. Campaigns that precede elections are dramatic events occasioned by rallies, posters, banners, and television coverage, all of which draw attention to the importance of participations on the events. Candidates, groups and political parties and others representing diverse opinions and objectives combine to invoke the spirit of nationalism. Whatever the peculiar national or regional or local variations, elections are events that arouse emotions, and channelling these emotions and passions into collective symbols help in breaking the monotony of national life and focus attentions on the common fate. Most elections do not determine public policies but instead confer on a small group of officials the authority to determine public policies through the instrumentality of laws and other devices on behalf of the whole. Political parties are central to the elections of public officers, the selections and nominations of candidates, a central and vital first stage in the electoral processes, generally lies in the hands of political parties:, an election only serves as the final process in the recruitments of public officials. The party systems can thus be regarded as an extension of the electoral processes. In Nigeria today, we have repeated cases of vote buying which has made the electorate to deprive themselves of the right to question the performance of their elected representatives. This is so because the officials believe they bought the conscious of the people they are representing hence making them act as lords when in the real sense reverse should have been the case. For instance, an average Briton see himself as very busy, that is why he will tell you boldly that the Prime Minister is there to serve and they can hold her accountable for any slightest wrong committed and ultimately remove her from office if need be. This is why you have all elected officers performing based on their campaign promises. It is no longer news that in developed democracies politicians are removed from office for failure to account for just £1,000 or he can be made to explain why the state funds was used to pay for his utility bills. What do we have in Africa? Leaders feeding fat on our commonwealth and at the same time depriving us from questioning their actions because they believe with the state resources in their disposal they can have their way during any election period. This could have been avoided if credible individuals were voted in from the onset of the current democratic dispensation. However, it is not late to remedy the situation if we can collectively look at individual track records and vote wisely and not along party lines, but based on what we think they can offer and reject whatever the obviously morally bankrupt politicians are offering which will continue to make our collective development a mirage . Voting for the right candidates give us the latitude to call them to order whenever we feel they are not representing us well. This will no doubt lead to appreciable development of our country and we will all be glad to have lived a good legacy for the future generations.

OUR POSITION Nigeria’s rising debt profile: A call for caution Not a few Nigerians have expressed worry over the nation’s rising debt profile, warning that this could have negative implications on developmental capacity of the economy, and the nation’s ability to repay if the government does not apply discipline in the manner in which it borrows. No doubt, governments all over the world exist by borrowing to fund the various activities that are necessary such as education, roads, hospitals, electricity generation, and other critical projects. The present administration has within three years, increased the nation’s debt by $11.77 billion. Statistics from the Debt Management Office (DMO) indicates that the Nigeria’s external debt rose from $10.32 billion in June 30, 2015 to $22.08 billion in as at June 2018, representing a 114.05 percent. Nigeria’s total debts both foreign and domestic stood at $73.213 billion which is N22.428 trillion as at November 2018, according to the DMO. These debts include: external debt of $21.591 billion, domestic debt of $40.107 billion and (States and FCT) domestic debt of $11.514 billion. By the end of 2015, Nigeria’s debt to GDP ratio stood at 12.1 per cent, and climbed to 22.1 per cent in November 2018. Nigeria is ranked sixth most indebted countries in Africa in the following order: South Africa - $143 billion; Angola - $37.7 billion; Ethiopia - $22.5 billion; Kenya - $22.2 billion; Ghana – $21.2 billion; Nigeria $18.91 billion; Tanzania – $15.9. Although Nigeria’s debt to GDP ratio is considered among the lowest in the world when compared to countries like Egypt which has 92.6 per cent; Brazil 89.4 percent; France 96.5 per cent, Mozambique 100.3 percent; Canada 98.8 per cent; and Singapore 110.5 percent amongst several others. This is because governments took advantage of the low interest rates offered, piling up debt that will cost them less in the long run, when the rates begin to rise, which is inevitable. Borrowing is a positive thing for working economies unless it goes unchecked and gets out of hand. It is particularly damaging for a country to borrow when the economy is in an economic downturn. The cheap debt that is amassed can quickly become unaffordable if it becomes too high and there is not enough money being generated within the country. The level of gross government debt as a percentage of GDP can indicate how able a country is to pay back debts without incurring further debt. Basically, the lower the debt-to-GDP ratio, the better. Debt-to-GDP ratios around the world have increased in recent years as governments take advantage of historically low interest rates to pile up cheap debt before rates inevitably begin to rise. Borrowing is a good thing for a working economy, but unchecked borrowing can be a bad thing, especially in an economic downturn. Even cheap debt can become unaffordable if a country has too much of it and output begins to slow. Concerned by the development, the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) recently, lamented that that the nation’s debt burden was worrisome and needed to be checked on the ground that about 25 per cent of the 2019 budget size of N8.8 trillion amounting to N2.140 trillion was going into debt servicing. The forum noted that the Federal Government’s

continued borrowing within the domestic market was limiting the real sector from accessing funding for expansion and growth. Latest figures released by the Debt Management Office (DMO) showed that government’s domestic debt profile rose to N15.814 trillion in September, 2018 from N15.629 trillion in June, 2018 representing 1.19% increase. The amount proposed for debt serving in the 2019 budget could have a negative effect on the government’s capacity to develop critical infrastructure, therefore government should look inward and come up with strategies to generate more revenue especially from the nonplussed sector. We are of the opinion that completion of the Ajaokuta Steel Industrial complex will also generate revenue to the government and drive more economic activities that will move the country from a frontier economy to an emerging economy. While the effect of the increasing debt might not be immediate in totality, it could be catastrophic in the long term with a chunk of revenue consumed by debt servicing to the detriment of infrastructural development. We suggest that the federal and state governments should take urgent steps at cutting the cost of governance and recurrent expenditure, and increase funding for critical infrastructure so as to drive rapid development. If the government insists on borrowing, the fund should be channelled to the development of key infrastructure that will drive development, create jobs and contribute to the GDP of the economy.

JOHESU issues 7 days ultimatum to FG Short News Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) on Monday issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to meet its demands. Mr. Josiah Biobelemoye, the National Chairman of the union, said this at a warning rally organised by the union in collaboration with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), among other stakeholders, to drive home the challenges bedeviling the health sector in Abuja. Biobelemoye noted that the seven days ultimatum, effective from Jan. 4, was given due to the intervention of clerics and their love for the Nigerian populace. “We decided to seek God’s intervention by reporting our offenders to him. Last Friday we attended the Juma’at Prayers while on Sunday we attended Church Service. “Fortunately and unfortunately, we met the Minister of Health in the church where we worship and the Overseer told him that he is in a better position to resolve this matter and allow the populace to receive better health. “The cleric further pleaded with us to exercise some patience, hence we decided to give the seven days ultimatum after which we will report to the NLC that decided to take over the matter,” Biobelemoye noted. The chairman listed the demands of the union as unjustified withholding of the salaries of its members for April and May

last year, upward adjustment of CONHESS Salary Structure and headship of hospital departments. Others, according to him, are implementation of consultancy cadre for JOHESU members and punitive actions against its members at Federal Medical Centre Owerri and Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). He specifically noted that these demands were outside the ones under the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Biobelemoye added that the rally was basically informed due to the violation of the May 30 Court Order by the Federal Ministry of Health. According to him, the court ordered the union to suspend the action and also said no party should do anything that will jeopardise the peace in places of work. “While we are in the ARD discussing, the Federal Ministry of Health decided to indiscriminately implement no-work-nopay after the court has said no one should do anything to provoke the other. “We refused to take action for over seven months that they violated the court’s order because we are mindful of the fact that every strike affects the common man negatively. “We know that public health institutions are the cheapest for the Nigerian populace

so we were reluctant of embark on strike for over seven months. “We have used the means of dialogue to impress it on the federal ministry of health and its management that they are violating a court order but to no avail. “We use this medium to tell Nigerians that have opportunity of interacting with those in authority specifically the minister of health to do the needful,” he said. Earlier, the NLC President, Mr Ayuba Waba, said he would map out actions to ensure the demand of over 90 per cent of the health work force was meant. Waba further noted that it would work out modalities to compel the minister of health to respect the collective agreement reached with the union. He specifically quoted the National Industrial Court judgment as stipulating that no health worker should be denied of skipping, arrears and salary adjustment, among others. According to him, instead of obeying that judgment by paying the over 90 per cent workers their dues, the minister paid the medical doctors, which is unfair and unjust. “We will mobilise Nigerian workers to battle, collective bargaining agreement must be respected. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands,” Waba said.

Buhari lauds Sweden’s humanitarian assistance to Boko Haram victims Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has commended Sweden for its humanitarian assistance to victims of insurgency in the country. Speaking during a farewell visit to the State House by the outgoing Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs Inger Ultvedt, the President said that Nigeria can speak of the well-known humanitarian spirit of the Swedes; helping the poor and assisting displaced Nigerian communities to return to their normal lives. “You are well-known for helping the poor.

Court order unsealing Peace Corps premises must be obeyed, says A’Court Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division on Monday said that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) should respect court orders mandating the Police to unseal the corporate head of office of the Peace Corps of Nigeria in Abuja, sealed up about two years. Justice Stephen Adah said that it is in the best interest of Nigerians that Police, as a law enforcement agency should obey lawful orders of court. Justice Adah made the remark while reacting to an allegation made by Dr. Joshua Musa, counsel to the Peace Corps of Nigeria, that Police have not obeyed two others of the federal high court that the headquaters of the Corps be unsealed since 2017. The senior lawyer complained to a threeman panel of the appellate court justices that the action of Police on the Peace Corps was

worrisome because the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice had written Police twice directing them to comply with the high court orders and vacate the Peace Corps office for the owners to occupy. Musa contended that the siege laid in Peace Corps office since February 28, 2017 has continued unabated and appealed to the Appeal Court to issue an order to compel Police to obey the orders of the high court and unseal the Peace Corps office before giving Police audience. Justice Adah, who presides over an appeal filed by Police against the high court judgement delivered in favour of Peace Corps said that it is in the interest of peace and to avoid anarchy that Police should obey court orders. However, the appeal by Police could not be heard because of multiple motions filed by Police and the Peace Corps over the issue. While Police in one of the motions, is praying the Court of Appeal to stay the execution of judgment of Justice Gabriel Kolawole which

declared the siege on Peace Corps as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional and imposed a fine of N12.5million for an alleged unlawful act, the Peace Corps in its motion is urging the appellate court not to grant to grant audience to Police until they have complied with the earlier order, directing them to unseal the office. Justice Adah who said that the Appeal Court does not stay execution of judgments adjourned the appeal by the Police till May 28 for hearing. The federal high court had, in two different judgements delivered Justices Gabriel Kolaqole and John Tsoho had, in 2018 ordered Police to vacate the corporate office of the Peace Corps of Nigeria on the grounds that the sealing up of the office was unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional. While Justice Tsoho declined to give further audience to Police in respect of Peace Corps until his order is obeyed. Justice Kolawole, in his judgment imposed a fine of N12.5 million on Police for acting in bad faith in respect of matters of the Peace Corps of Nigeria.

LASG seeks PPP to boost socio-economic development

The Lagos State Government says PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) is critical to sustain the growth and development of the state. The Lagos State Head of Service, Hakeem MuriOkunola, said this on Monday during the 2019 PPP Lagos Roundtable organised by the Office of Public and Private Partnership. Muri-Okunola said that Lagos was confronted with continuous population growth with attendant pressure on social services and amenities like hospitals, schools, roads, bridge and power, among others. He said that it was quite evident that the competing needs for government’s resources had made the PPP model a most viable critical component of a number of socio-economic development strategies that any serious government might consider. According to him, government cannot do it alone, hence, the need for the PPP strategy. ”Given its relative advantages in many respects, Lagos is easily one of Africa’s most preferred investment destination.

We need to attract, retain investments - Uduk Stakeholders in the Capital Market have been urged to continue to take positive steps to attract and retain both local and foreign investments to stimulate economic growth and develop critical infrastructure necessary for the country’s development. Acting Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC), Ms. Mary Uduk stated this at the formal launch of the book ‘Riding the Eagle’ written by Mrs Toyin Sanni in Lagos, Monday. Uduk stated that during the decision-making process, investors want to be sure of the rational basis of their investment decisions before transferring resources, and this is why quality information is needed. She said “Providing information to investors will enhance transparency in the Nigerian markets and improve our global reputation in the investment community. “Riding the Eagle meets this imperative by providing

comprehensive and up-to-date information on investing in the Nigerian markets via a roadmap and guide for foreign, domestic, institutional and individual investors alike. It also examines the challenges faced by the Nigerian economy across sectors, past and recent success stories and solutions to some of the nation’s economic and development challenges. She said the Book goes into details on the key sectors that drive the performance of the Nigerian economy and what investment opportunities are available for interested investors and motivated entrepreneurs. The SEC DG therefore commended the author, Mrs. Toyin F. Sanni, for putting at the disposal of the industry, the value of over one decade in the money market and another two decades in the capital market. “The book serves investor interests through this comprehensive and authoritative work on investment opportunities in the Nigerian economy.

“It is imperative therefore that we all as stakeholders continue to take positive steps to attract and retain both local and foreign investments to stimulate economic growth and develop critical infrastructure necessary for our country’s development” she added. In her remarks, Vice Chairman FAMFA Oil Limited, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija described the book as truly a most appropriate and timely information guide for all stakeholders in the investment sector in Africa’s most populous and resource rich country, Nigeria.

New cancer cases: Deaths to double in Africa by 2040 - WHO Says Nigeria records 116,000 new cases

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja As Nigeria joins the rest of the world in commemorating the 2019 World Cancer Day, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed that new cancer cases and deaths in Africa are projected to double by 2040. Speaking during a media round-table in Abuja on Monday, the WHO Regional Director, Dr Matshidiso Moeti disclosed that estimated new cases in Nigeria as at 2018 was put at 116,000 while 41 cancer related deaths were also recorded. Dr Moeti who was represented by the WHO Officer in Charge (OIC) in Nigeria, Dr. Clement Peter said that the epidemic of cancer has the potential to grow even faster than current projections as there is a greater adoption of behaviours such as smoking, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity. “Cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. New cases and deaths from cancer continue to rise. In 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths, whereas in 2018 there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. If current

trends are maintained, the cancer burden in Africa is projected to double from 1,055,172 new cancer cases in 2018 to 2,123,245 cancer cases by 2040”. She said. While calling on the Federal, State and Local government, international organizations as well as individuals to step up and work together to tackle the challenge, the WHO boss said that a future without cancer is a collective responsibility. She lamented that while early diagnosis of the disease can be treated, most cancer patients in Africa are diagnosed at a late stage and the prognosis for a positive outcome is lessened, even in cases where treatment is available and affordable. “Among the most important serious challenges facing cancer patients in most African countries are poverty, late and poor cancer diagnosis and lack of medical cover. The key drivers of the increasing cancer burden in Africa include increasing exposure to known cancer risk factors, such as tobacco use, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diets, alcohol use and environmental pollution. “26% of low-income countries around the world reported having public sector pathology

services, and only 30% of these countries had cancer treatment services; however, 90% of highincome countries can offer such services. “Significant progress has been achieved in diagnostics and treatment of cancers in highincome countries. This has resulted in better prognosis and enhanced survival rates for cancers in high-income countries with 5-year survival as high as 80-90% for cancers that can be treated when detected early. “Sadly, most cancer patients in Africa are diagnosed at a late stage and the prognosis for a positive outcome is lessened, even in cases where treatment is available and affordable” Dr. Moeti added. Dr Moeti further called on individuals to engage and adopt healthy lifestyle habits saying, “Behavioural activities, such as eating a proper diet, both in the type and amount of food, engaging in appropriate exercise and physical activity, and receiving appropriate clinical interventions to prevent cancer, are important”. The Theme of the 2019.World Cancer Day, “I am and I will”, was chosen as a reminder that important actions if taken by individuals, groups, communities and political leaders can reduce the impact of cancer on our lives.

2019: Donors sponsoring APC, Buhari campaign - Bulama Tom Okpe, Abuja The Deputy Director General of the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Arc Waziri Bulama has stated that the 2019 Presidential Election is being sponsored by donors. He also said President Muhammadu Buhari’s state of health is nothing to worry about saying he is physically fit and stronger than any average Nigerian men. Speaking at an interactive session with journalists in Abuja on Sunday, Bulama said by his visit to almost all States of the federation as cause of the campaign, the president has not shown any sign of stres or weakness. He said: “I think the President from the way he works in this campaign has shown that he is stronger than many average men in this country. This is a man at that age, flying from city to city and at least two cities every

day of the week, commissioning projects, meeting traditional rulers, stakeholders and still returning to attend to other state functions and other groups in the Aso Villa. “He flies out the following morning without sign of stress or weakness. President Buhari is healthy, very strong and alive to the task and giving the kind of leadership and presence we need in this campaign”. On the source of APC campaign funds, Bulama said; “Let me say that since Buhari’s entrance into politics in 2002, his efforts in campaign have always been propelled, sponsored and financed by voluntary donors. Every political activity has been funded by individual donors and contributors. “Up till this moment, this campaign is propelled by voluntary support and willing participation. Therefore, these crowds are not sponsored or bought crowds. Again, our previous elections from 1999 till 2015 under the previous ruling party, have

witnessed expenditure of huge sums of money. “Don’t forget that the fund to purchase form to re-contest did not even come from him. It was the efforts and contributions of the youths called Nigeria Consolidation Ambassadors. They made contributions throughout the country to raise the money for the form. “You know that the election system in Nigeria from the watershed of 2015 till date has been a reference point because the APC under President Buhari has allowed INEC and other stakeholders in the election process to diligently do their work to the best of their ability. “They were influencing the institutions of the state to interfere in elections. But the APC under President Buhari has adopted a different approach to election management. Our model is to reach out to every Nigerian voter to persuade them to vote for the APC”, he noted.

Dr. Nduaguibe described the razing as act of “brigandage, intimidation and impunity”, recalling that in 2015, an INEC office located at Isialangwa South LGA, Omoba “was burnt down during the governorship and state House of Assembly elections, when the APGA House of Assembly candidate, Hon.

CBN denies involvement in N32bn Forex racketeering Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has described as unfounded, allegations by a national daily newspaper that it engages faceless agents in foreign exchange racket pocketing over N32bn annually. The newspaper had published on the front page a story on Monday, February 4, 2019, titled: “Exposed The Sleazy Face of N306/$, inside Nigeria’s racket where faceless agents pocket

over N32bn annually”. In a swift reaction to the allegations on Monday, the Director, Corporate Communications, Mr. Isaac Okorafor, said, “ the management of the CBN wishes to react to the report wherein BusinessDay newspaper alleges that faceless agents in Nigeria are exploiting the country’s multiple exchange rates to devastating effects and allegedly with the backing of regulators. “The CBN wishes to state unequivocally that this report is

unfounded and untrue and challenges BusinessDay to provide the names and also verifiable evidence of collusion between these faceless agents and officials of the CBN, who are working to perpetuate these so called Fx racket schemes. The apex bank accused the management of the newspaper of biased saying that it was not contacted prior to making “such spurious allegations, as we were denied the benefit of responding to this article.” “The CBN wishes to remind

BusinessDay, as most financial observers have noted, that the Fx rates across various markets governed and regulated by the CBN have been converging, leaving no room for arbitrage opportunities in Nigeria’s Fx market”, Okafor stated. For the avoidance of doubt, the CBN spokesman said, the bank will continue to act in the best interest of Nigeria and shall ensure it remains focused on its core mandate of sustaining the stability in the FX market.

Dormant accounts: Inactive bank accounts hike by 28% to 46.7m in 2018 - NIBSS Motolani Oseni Due to of economic hardship caused by sluggish economic growth, rising job losses, inactive bank accounts rose significantly in the country by 28 per cent to 46.7 million in 2018 from 36.7 million stood in 2017, latest figure from the Nigeria Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) has revealed. With this development, it means that

Nigerians abandoned not less than a whopping 10 million bank accounts in the year under review, owing ta o reduction in purchasing power, occasioned by double-digit inflation, among many other economic factors. According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines on dormant accounts, “an account shall become inactive if there has been no customer or depositor-initiated transaction for a period of six months after the last

customer or depositor initiate a d transaction.” The NIBSS latest report, however, stated that inactive bank accounts grew by 73 per cent while active bank accounts grew by 35 per cent. While inactive bank accounts increased by 19.61 million to 46.7 million in 2018 from 27.09 million in 2014, active bank accounts rose by 24.75 million to 71.2 million in 2018 from 46.45 million in 2014.

It is, however, note worthy that Nigerians often abandon their bank accounts due to some unnecessary bank charges. In fact, findings have shown that Nigerians bank account holders abandoned their account for different reasons, such as arbitrary bank charges, endless unresolved bankrelated issues, among many other unnecessary reductions in their bank accounts.

Elections: PDP, INEC in verbal war over recruitment of ad hoc staff

APC govs recruiting ad- hoc staff for Electoral umpire, PDP alleges INEC: Not true, PDP should come out with proof of evidence

Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Monday, engaged in verbal war over recruitment of ad hoc staff for the forthcoming general election. While the PDP questioned the neutrality of INEC in the coming elections by alleging complicity in compilation names of ad- hoc staff for the polls, the Electoral body challenged the PDP to come out with proofs of its allegations. Director, Media and Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, at a press conference on Monday alleged that INEC has been taking directives from the Buhari Presidency and the APC on how to manipulate the electoral process at various levels. The party disclosed that INEC has collected a list of people that will serve as electoral officials, including ad-hoc staff and returning officers at the polling units, from APC state governors and candidates, across the federation, on the directives of the Buhari Presidency. He said the PDP is already privy to how the lists were populated with APC members and agents of the APC candidates, after clearance by the APC leaders in various states. According to him, “the PDP vehemently rejects this wicked plot by the Buhari Presidency, which is tailored to ensure institutional manipulation of the electoral process, including accreditation,

voting and collation of results at the polling units, which is the base of the elections. The PDP held that by following the directive of the APC in such dubious rigging scheme, the INEC Chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, has violated section 29 (1) of the Electoral Act (as amended). PDP said the INEC chairman’s act shows that he is in clear deficit of the required political will to conduct a credible, free and fair election. “This is especially in the light of the boasting by agents of the Buhari Presidency and the APC to give the INEC Chairman what they describe as the “Onnoghen treatment”, and frame him, if he fails to comply with their rigging plans. “In the light of the foregoing, the PDP demands that INEC, within the next 48 hours, publish the list of all officials and ad-hoc staff that will play any form of role in the election at all levels for verification by stakeholders. “Any delay or refusal by INEC to publish the list with 48 hours would be a clear acceptance that it has been compromised by the APC and this could lead to a very serious crisis with very dire consequences as the PDP will never allow anybody to rig it out in this election. “The PDP wants Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to note that the fate of our nation lies in his hands. It is left to him to decide whether he would end as a national hero or as a villain”. The PDP called on the international community to place the INEC Chairman, Directors and Commissioners in INEC responsible for this election on their watch list

Yakubu and proceed to impose travel ban on them as well as hold them directly responsible should there be any form of rigging in the February 16, 2019 Presidential election. The party directed all its members, teeming supporters and all well-meaning Nigerians across the nation to get ready to vote out President Buhari and protect their votes with all the energy available to them in the defence of our democracy and freedom as a people. Reacting to allegations by PDP that the commission was handed lists of name of ad- hoc staff to be engaged in coming election by APC governors, INEC described it as wild allegations. Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of INEC, Rotimi Oyekanmi, challenged the PDP to come out with proofs of its allegations. He said such baseless allegations were meant to distract the Commission at this crucial

stage to the elections but said INEC under Prof. Mahmood Yakubu would not be distracted. “I call on any political party or individuals with information on how the Commission plans to or has engaged members of any political party as ad-hoc staff for the upcoming general elections to make such information public and mention specific names. “It is not enough to make wild allegations. It is incumbent on those who make such allegations to also provide the proof. “With less than 2 weeks to the general elections, INEC cannot afford to be distracted by baseless allegations. “The Commission is not a political party and will not allow itself to be dragged into unnecessary controversies at a time like this. INEC assures Nigerians that its overall commitment is to conduct free, fair and credible 2019 general elections, for which it needs the support of all”.

Army to clamp down on IPOB, splinter groups to prevent disruption of election The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Monday, urged troops to clamp down on activities of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its splinter groups to prevent disruption of the forthcoming election. Buratai, who gave the directive in Abuja, when he declared open the 2019 first quarter Chief of Army Conference, accused the banned group of planning to disrupt the election. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that unlike in the past the conference is tagged “the Chief of Army Staff Operations Conference.’’ According to him, activities of IPOB are gaining momentum ahead of the election. “Their excesses must, therefore, be curtailed immediately,’’ he said. The Federal Government, in September 2017 through an Executive Order of President Muhammadu Buhari, outlawed the Indigenous People of Biafra and its activities in every part of the country. The Federal High Court in Abuja, thereafter gave judicial backing to the Executive Order. The Acting Chief Judge of the Court, Justice Abdu Kafarati, granted the order proscribing the group. The court declared that activities of the group constituted acts of terrorism and illegality. The army chief also noted that the political clashes in Taraba and a few other states, called for enhanced liaison between commanders, the police and other security agencies. He said the collaboration was necessary “in order to de-escalate tension as quickly as possible.’’ Buratai restated that there were intelligence reports on “subversive motives by some unpatriotic groups aided by foreign conspirators to scuttle the peaceful conduct of the election in some parts of the country.’’ He warned such detractors to immediately mend their ways. “The Nigerian Army is working closely with the Nigeria Police

Force and other security agencies to ensure an enabling environment for good citizens of our dear country to exercise their civic rights. “In this regard, GOCs and field Commanders at all levels are to deal decisively with any form of security breach.’’ On involvement of officers and soldiers in the conduct of the election, Buratai said he had in the past one year given clear directives on the posture they should adopt during the exercise. According to him, the need for the Nigerian Army to remain apolitical and professionally responsive in the discharge of its constitutional roles has been stressed. “All personnel must remain neutral, non-partisan and transparent in all their actions. “I need to reiterate that there will be zero-tolerance for any action and in-action by commanders at all levels that is deemed tilted towards giving undue advantage to any candidate, political party, ethnic or religious leanings to the detriment of the unity and integrity of Nigeria. “This include knowingly or unknowingly receiving any form of inducement from politicians or other entities, be it public or private. “GOCs and Field Commanders at all levels are to warn all officers and soldiers under their command to remain forthright and not in any way deviate from the professional ethics of the Nigerian Army,’’ he added. Still on the election, the army chief said he had issued operational directives for Operation Safe conduct for the general election. “The Nigerian Army has also produced a Code of Conduct Handbook for personnel to guide them during the election and copies have been distributed to all formations.’’ He reminded them of events in the 2015 general election which subsequently led to the “sad exit of some fine officers, who were found culpable.’’

CCT adjourns Onnoghen’s trial till Feb 13 amid altercation A’Court adjourns to Feb 12, consolidates appeals

Andrew Orolua and Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), on Monday, adjourned the trial of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, till Wednesday, February 13, amid altercation between the CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar and Lead Defence lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN. The adjournment was sequel to an oral application by Chief Awomolo, SAN. Though, the prosecution counsel, Aliyu Umar, SAN, did not oppose the motion for adjournment, Chairman of the tribunal, initially, vehemently disagreed leading into altercations between them. Onnoghen is yet to be arraigned on a six count charge bordering on non-disclosure of his assets preferred against him by the Federal Government. The tribunal had last Friday fixed Monday, February 4 for the arraignment of the suspended Chief Justice as well as the hearing of all pending applications, shortly after the Court of Appeal in Abuja, dismissed Onnoghen’s motion on notice seeking a temporary stoppage of his trial at the tribunal, pending the determination of his suit

challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal. When the matter was called on Monday, Prosecution counsel, Aliyu Umar, SAN, informed the court that the matter was adjourned to today for arraignment and hearing of two motions, one on preliminary objection to jurisdiction of the CCT and one filed by the prosecution asking for an order for the CJN to step aside. However, defence Counsel, led by Awomolo, drew the tribunal’s attention to the fact that the same petition forwarded to the Code of Conduct Bureau by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) has been forwarded to the National Judicial Council (NJC). Awomolo said since the NJC has sent the same petitions to the defendant to reply within 7 days which will lapse on Wednesday, February 6, it is in the interest of justice to allow NJC take a decision before continuing with the proceedings at the tribunal. Prosecution counsel, however, said he was not opposed to the application for adjournment. In a short ruling, tribunal Chairman, Danladi Umar adjourned the matter till February 13 for the arraignment of Onnoghen and the hearing of all pending applications. He, however, urged the defence team to ensure that the

defendant physically appears in court at the next adjourned date, adding that “plea must be taken before the defendant can raise any objection regarding the case”. Earlier, there was a mild drama when emotions were let loose between the lead counsel of the defence, Awomolo and the Tribunal Chairman, Danladi Umar. Trouble started, when the CCT Chairman interjected in the application for adjournment being moved by Awomolo. Awomolo in moving the application noted that his client could suffer double jeopardy, if the application was not granted. But, interjecting, Umar insisted that the tribunal will go ahead with the preliminary objection brought by the defence challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal. He said that the approach of the defence counsel is tantamount to delay tactics in the hearing of the case. He said that with experience of Awomolo in the bar he did not expect him to come up with such approach. Umar, accordingly, held that the matter would not be adjourned since the tribunal has assumed jurisdiction to hear the case. In a swift reaction, Awomolo stood up in anger to take exception to the remark of the chairman. He said that he has

Senate discontinues S’Court case, lauds NJC intervention

spent 25 years as Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and been in the bar for 45 years and cannot stand before the junior lawyers to be ridiculed and embarrassed by chairman of tribunal. At this point, prosecution counsel, Aliyu Umar, SAN, urged the tribunal to stand down the matter for about 30 minutes to allow for calm. When the tribunal reconvened after 30 minutes, Awomolo apologised to the tribunal over the altercation, adding that he has high respect for the tribunal. Similarly, Aliyu Umar, SAN, apologised on behalf of the bar, promising that such heated moment would not arise again while the matter lasts at the tribunal. Also, the second member of the tribunal, Williams Atedze, apologised on behalf of the tribunal, just as the CCT chairman conceded to the adjournment and adjourned the matter till February 13. Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal, Abuja, has adjourned till February 12, for hearing the three different appeals filed by the suspended CJN. When the matter came up on Monday, Chief Chris Uche, SAN, who led three other Senior lawyers for Onnoghen, informed the appellate court of the decision by both the appellant and the

respondent to have the three appeals heard together, so as to save the time of the court. Uche told the three-man panel justices of the appellate court that he had already written a letter to the presiding Justice Abdul Aboki, dated January 30, praying the court to determine the three appeals together and that the Federal Government as a respondent agreed to the position. Counsel to the Federal Government, Oyin Koleoso, confirmed that the two parties have agreed that the three appeals be heard together. Justice Stephen Adah, subsequently adjourned hearing in the matter till February 12, in view of the urgency of the matter. In a related development, the Senate has ordered the discontinuation of the case it filed at the Supreme Court on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJ N), Hon. Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen. This follows the intervention of the National Judicial Council (NJC) on the issue. In a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser to the Senate President, the Senate announced that it has decided to give the NJC intervention a chance. “The Senate has therefore decided to discontinue the case

it filed in the Supreme Court. It should be noted that the case has been slated for hearing tomorrow. This decision also affirms the confidence of the Senate in the ability of the NJC to successfully and creditably resolve the issues”, the statement stated. However, this might not be unconnected with the decision of the APC Senate Caucus that kicked against the decision of the Senate to back out of the suit. On behalf of the 56 APC senators, Leader of the Senate, Senator Ahmed Lawan, in a statement, had said they were not party to the Senate decision and wished to be joined in the suit. He said “the 56 APC Senators have approached the Supreme Court to be joined in the suit purportedly filed by the Senate against the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as interested parties. According to the statement, “the APC Senators rely on the Supreme Court (Additional Original Jurisdiction) Act of 2002, which provides that the resolution of the respective Chambers of the National Assembly is a prerequisite of filling such suit. “The Caucus is therefore challenging the said suit and objects to the inclusion of its members”.

Buhari healthier than most other candidates, critics of his health need help, says group Patrick Okohue The spate of criticisms and ‘concerns’ about President Muhammadu Buhari’s health is most regrettable, uncalled for and outrightly reprehensible, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) says it is a smokescreen to embarrass and distract the President. The group made this assertion in response to insinuations in the media, and a law suit, challenging the health status of the President. BMO made particular reference to a press statement signed by Ugochinyere Ikenga, spokesperson of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) in which the organisation stated that the President is not healthy enough to lead the nation for another four years, and that the courts should order President Buhari to make public his health status. In a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, BMO asked Nigerians to dismiss “the moronic claim from Ikenga. He is the kind of person that is giving the Nigerian Bar Association a bad name, bringing all sorts of malicious lawsuits and invectives against the person of the President, he should be reminded that under the National Health Law any adult has the right to disclose or withhold his or her health status. “Aside from that, what could be more telling of the President’s fitness

when he has visited 21 states in the last two weeks, 18 states twice and three states once. “President Buhari has shown that at his age, he is a hard worker, going by things he has put in place in three and a half years, the roads, the rail system, power supply etc. These are unprecedented achievements. No head of government has done half that in Nigeria’s history. “In any case, President Buhari is not a Robo cop, he is a mortal like any one of us and can fall ill at any time- again, just like any of us. We at BMO are proud to be associated with him for the things he has done, which are unmatched and unmatchable especially by the ruinous Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) elements.” BMO said despite Buhari’s hectic campaign tours, to more than half of the states, “he has not abandoned his normal duties. Also, in all the states where he has campaigned, he has commissioned several Federal Government projects. “Of course, we understand why PDP, in its blurred vision, cannot see any of this. We strongly recommend that PDP leadership should see the nearest Psychiatrist for evaluation and cure for their multiple neuroses. Perhaps then they will see what others are seeing. “Pensioners are jubilant; workers being owed a back-log of salaries have being settled. There is endorsement galore; students, oil marketers, traders, fishermen, farmers and beneficiaries of Social Investment Programme (SIP) are all singing the

Presidents praises.” BMO said only the myopic and people in perpetual denial will still challenge or doubt that President Muhammadu Buhari is fit, in good health, and more than able, physically and mentally, to discharge the duties of his office for the next four years. BMO says the CUPP spokes person Ikenga should be ashamed of himself “for collecting peanuts for character assassination. We want to remind the public that this ‘no chamber’, ‘charge and bail CAC lawyer’ was an aide to Bukola Saraki. Just a few years ago, he was parading himself as President of Youth Council of Nigeria. “Ikenga should be reminded that pouring out the pot-pourri of invectives won’t get to President Buhari’s base, a sea of patriots in all the states he has gone to in the last two weeks, unlike the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar who spent two weeks in Dubai for Medical treatment, only for his handlers to come out of that twoweeks haze with a compendium of what is now infamously known as the ‘Dubai Strategy’. “We know Ikenga is only playing his role in the Dubai Strategy, so we are not bothered. President Muhammadu Buhari remains committed to lifting Nigerians out of poverty, so far over 13 million Nigerians have been touched by his Social Investment Programme and the next level is definitely going to be more telling in the lives of the average citizen,” BMO added.

My plans for Lagos ‘area boys’ if voted into power - Pearse The gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Lagos State, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse, has said that he will train and engage street urchins popularly called “area boys” in the state if voted into power in the March 2 governorship election. Pearse made the pledge on Monday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. According to him, his planned massive investment in education to combat problems of poverty, hunger and security in the state would cover training and retraining of the “area boys”. “Area Boys in the state will be engaged with vocational trainings

and we shall employ them. “Many of these miscreants have a lot to offer the state. Some of them are embodiments of talents and gifts that can be harnessed to benefit themselves and the state. “Many of these area boys and girls on the streets are byproducts of unemployment. We will set up vocational training schools for them. “When we arrest them, we will not go and put them in jail. We will re-train them. We will send them to schools, whichever one they want to go-vocation or technical. “We will use this to reduce the number in the streets,” Pearse, a university teacher said. The candidate, who noted that many of the miscreants had

one training or the other, said his government would create an enabling environment for them to practice their trainings if they so wanted. According to him, many of these ‘area boys’ are electricians, vulcanisers, carpenters, farmers among other professions, who cannot find jobs. He added that if voted as the next governor of Lagos State, he would increase funding for education, especially vocational and technical education, to reduce unemployment. He said that the state had suffered enough security threats posed to her by the increasing number of ‘area boys’ across streets and communities.

Appeal Court ruling: This is one giant step to Promised Land, Tonye Cole tells Rivers APC members The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Patrick Cole has reacted to a court ruling ordering a stay of execution of the judgment of the Federal High Court, stopping the party from fielding candidates in all elections in the state. The Appeal Court led by Justice Ali Gumel, Monday granted the stay of Execution on the Judgement of Justice Kolawole Omotosho restricting the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting any candidate from the APC to contest the election. Reacting to the development Cole in a statement he personally signed on Monday, expressed gratitude to God. While commending the ruling of the court, Cole described the order as a victory for the people of Rivers state. He also noted that steps have been taken to ensure that the

INEC was served with the ruling. He said: “I just want to take a minute to thank the Almighty God for his grace upon us all. I know without Him, this would be totally impossible. We were up against it. We still are but our God who has been with us throughout this journey will see us to the end. “I want to spare a thought for the brave judges and the entire judiciary for simply standing firm on the side of justice. We have faith in you. To all our supporters and leaders in the APC, I want to say a big thank you for keeping the faith. The times have been tough – I know, but you have showed that with God, we are already winners. “To my Rivers people, fear not. Nothing good comes easy. This is but one giant step to the Promised Land. “We have taken immediate steps to serve INEC by tomorrow with the ruling which will see APC back on the ballot box in time for the elections.”

Special report on 10 top Executive Chairmen of Distinction in Lagos State Part 1

Hon Princess Adedayo Ramatrachel Oseni An Exceptional Brilliant Chairman Administrator

Edafe Obaroighoror

In the political platform of Lagos State, particularly at the leadership level, Princess Ramatrachel Adedayo Oseni needs no introduction; She is a character one would want to emulate. Currently, she is the Executive Chairman of Iba Local Council Development Area (LCDA), of Lagos State. While narrating her life experience, one would justify her as a “Single woman with Double Missions”. But the truth is that her mission is to innovate, and give the citizens the sense of belonging. Born in the 60’s, and had her secondary, university in Lagos State. As an astute administrator, she kicked-off with ongoing projects in the council left behind by her predecessor, which some of the works have been completed while a few are at various stages of

completion. The administration of Princess Oseni has positively affected the council, as she has improved on the infrastructural facilities of the area. With the urge to execute and to contribute to the human development, under her leadership the education has gained a lot as the council runs free extra moral classes for JAMB forms and GCE candidates . Also, JAMB forms were bought for candidates. It is also imperative to note that the woman of substance for development acquired four plots of land for secondary school in Iba town, renovated primary schools in Ijegun area, she also distributed desks to schools,all over the local Council development area. Pupils of the council were provided with free uniforms and school bags. Mummy, as she is fondly called

by many in the council, employed some people and placed them on temporary salaries of between N5,000 and N10,000 per month. Her great touch extended to the health centre in Ijegun as the place has been renovated and the immunization programme in the council improved upon. The council would have tackled all challenges confronting the LCDA, but it was hampered by inadequate funds. To prove her determination that she is equal to any task in the leadership mantra, mummy has being canvassing for her council people to vote for the ruling party both in state and federal level. Princess Oseni, however, advised the youth in the area to shun crime and concentrate on their studies. She also call those seeking for jobs to visit vocational centres and acquire skills. She is happily married with supportive husband and children.

Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller Jarrell Miller: I’ll is promising to do a lot of damage on WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and IBO champion Anthony Joshua. take Anthony Miller has told Joshua of his plans to take his Yeta Odusanya, out on a date after their Joshua’s mum out mother, fight in June at the Madison Square Garden in City. after knocking him New“I York was quiet for a little while, I had to take care of some internal stuff. We’re still having out out, you know, these errors. But the ‘AJ’ fight

is in the grasp and we’re trying to hash out the last couple of details. It’s not official yet, but I’m thinking it’s like 80 percent [done]. It’s about 80 percent, man. I can’t wait, man. “He wants to come to America and I think it’s going to be great for USA boxing, especially for American boxing. And like I said before, I’ve been waiting for the moment to shock the world. AJ is a real big hype job. And when he fights a real gritty, hungry, mean person like me, it’s going to be a whole different story,

man. Joshua was slated to face Dillian Whyte in a rematch on April 13th at Wembley Stadium in London – but the date was called off after their negotiations broke down. “Listen, AJ did some bogey-a** leaked conversation talking about, ’It looks like he’s going to come to New York’ and dah, dah, dah and it made the internet go crazy. I hope you guys record this one and put this one out here: After I beat AJ I’m still gonna take his mom out

on a date. So leak that conversation.” Miller has been pushing for the bout with Joshua, and let his voice be heard during a recent appearance on Sirius XM Boxing. “It’s not 100 percent yet,” Miller said. “But I’m really looking forward to punching AJ in the goddamn mouth. So we gonna see. Last July at a press conference in New York that was hosted by DAZN, Miller confronted Joshua and the two traded words in a face to face manner before being pulled apart.

43 years of failed promises on Agriculture and food sufficiency Just like the current Minister for Agriculture Chief Audu Ogbe is going about bragging about the government’s exploits in agriculture and food sufficiency, the same way successive administration made empty boasts only for the hollowness of their claims to become obvious when they leave office. When President Obasanjo was in office as Military Head of State, he introduced the much publicised Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) and promised it would make Nigeria self sufficient in food and other agricultural products. When Obasanjo left office, Nigerians saw that OFN was a ruse. The last administration of President Goodluck Jonathan spent billions of Dollars on Agriculture and to end importation of food. His fancy talking Minister for that sector Akinwumi Adesina later received several awards from Nigeria and other parts of the world for the so called giant stride he made in the sector with near hundred percent claim of achievements in fertiliser procurement and distribution, e-wallet seed distribution as well as agric loan to farmers, among other areas. But the evidence is there now that those were merely on paper as Nigeria is still importing food years after Adesina left office. Now enters Audu OgbeI He talks with confidence about Nigeria stopping the importation of rice and saving billions of Dollars. But what you see all over the country are several brands of imported rice. When you confront government people, they tell you the foreign rice in the market are smuggled but pundits say the only thing government achieved is depriving Nigeria legitimate revenue from rice importation while the smugglers smile to the banks since they can freely bring the goods into the country from the over 1,000 unmanned entry points into Nigeria by citizens of her neighbouring countries. By the time Audu Ogbe leaves office, the truth will be revealed that no tangible achievement has been made in that sector. This has been the pattern in Nigeria. People in government make false claims about their achievement and it has been like that for many years now. On 5th February 1966, Daily Times reported that the government of Northern provinces will soon establish 22 more farm institutions to bring to 50 the number of such centres in the region. According to the report, the disclosure was made by at Samaru by Mr. E O Apara acting organiser for agricultural training in an address at a two-week training course for the staff of the school of agriculture Samaru and Kabba Farming Training Centre. Mr. Apara stressed the ‘importance of agriculture, saying it is an industry which requires every farmer puts in his maximum efforts daily. Activities at the programme included the setting up of progressive farmers’ club and training on farm management, among other activities.

According to Apara, farming is also a profession requiring a good farmer to sacrifice the best part of his day as to get the best out of it; and went on to observe that agriculture for many years to come will continue to be the main stay of the country’s economy as well as the means by which Nigeria can raise the standards of living of her people. “Turning to the students, he called for devotion to duty, adding that their reward was in knowing that they were making valuable contributions

towards the country’s main economy. Stressing the importance of the course, Apara said that the excellence and success of the Ministry’s services to farmers depended on the students attending the course. “Your heavy responsibility lies in giving effective training to your staff that will come into direct contact with you at all times. He also spoke of the need for exchange ideas between all farm institutions in the country in order to achieve

uniformity,” the report said, adding that the Chief of Jos Mallam Ngwang Pam had earlier, at another occasion talked to the students about the importance of farming which he described as the backbone of the economy. One can only wonder the expectations and hope in the minds of the participants at that important training course which like many other promising beginnings in the country ended in the trash can of history.
