Tribunal admits 5,197 election result sheets as exhibits

Continued from page 1

a total of 5, 195 election result sheets and two Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) official receipts from Niger and Yobe states in evidence as exhibits.

Specifically, 3, 464 presidential election result sheets from 25 local government areas, polling units and wards in Niger State were tendered and admitted as exhibits. Also admitted as exhibits was a receipt of certification issued

by INEC in respect of Niger State.

The petitioners also tendered 1,731 presidential election result sheets from 17 local government areas in Yobe State including results sheets from polling units and wards. All the documents were admitted as exhibits. The tribunal also admitted one INEC receipt of certification issued in respect of Yobe State as exhibits.

The documents were the INEC Form EC8C - that is the election result sheets from each of the local government, Form EC8B election results from each polling units and Form EC8A the election result from the wards.

All the documents were tendered through Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) from the bar as earlier agreed during the pre-hearing session.

However, the respondents

to the petition, INEC, President Muhammadu Buhari and All Progressives Congress (APC) through their lawyers, Yunus Ustaz Usman (SAN), Mike Igbokwe (SAN) and Yakubu Maikyau (SAN) respectively, opposed the tendering of the documents and their admissibility.

But they reserved their reasons for the objection and admissibility of the documents till their final addresses as earlier agreed during the pre - hearing session. In effect, they will state their reasons for the objection in their separate written addresses at the close of hearing.

They did not, however, object to the INEC official receipt dated May 9, 2019 in respect of Yobe State which was accordingly admitted as exhibit PYB 1732.

In his remark on Thursday at opening of their case, Prof.

Nwabueze noted that the February/March 2019 general elections have come gone, but “the generality of Nigerians seem agreed that something was wrong with them, particularly the February presidential election.”

According to Nwabueze, they suspect that the election was manipulated or in more familiar language, rigged.

Counsel to the petitioners said that the election tribunal/ court is now saddled with the task, an intractable task of

finding out the truth about what happened, stating that the task before the tribunal is intractable. He regretted that tribunal and courts in recent times have succumbed to tyranny of procedure, precedent and the booby traps of pleadings.

He said Nigerians still expect it to rise above the self imposed shackles in order to find out the truth about what happened during that election, adding that “the tribunal/court owes it as a duty to the country to do so, as the discovery of the truth will help to set us free from the scourge of electoral malpractices.”

He said election tribunals are not for the purpose of adjudicating disputes arising in dealing or transactions between individual persons, “but for the purpose of enabling the political community to choose, in free and fair election, persons to manage public affairs on its behalf and for the benefit of all its members.”

Nwanbueze urged the tribunal to adopt an approach based on law but moderated by what is just and equitable in the interest of peace, security and good governance of the community in determining election cases, “not a rigid adherence to the technicalities of the law of pleadings and evidence and the doctrine of precedent.”

Ruga settlement: Northern Govs’ Forum calls for calm, democratic expression The Northern Governors’ Forum has urged all stakeholders especially in the North, to remain calm and be democratic in expressing their views about the suspended Ruga settlement project by the Federal Government.

The forum’s Chairman and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, made the appeal in a statement he issued on Thursday in Abuja.

Lalong urged all stakeholders to be democratic in their views while allowing government to handle the matter.

He said that the forum was already reaching out to major stakeholders particularly in the North, after receiving the position of the leadership of the coalition of northern groups.

Gov. Lalong said that with the ensuing development following the announcement of the suspension of the initiative, it had become pertinent for him as chairman of the forum to make clarifications on the true position in order to calm nerves.

“We have acknowledged the varied responses that have been coming in throughout the hours after the announcement of the suspension which we see as part of the beauty of democracy.

“This allows citizens to participate in shaping and moderating the functions of government with regards to matters of public interest. Meanwhile, we urge all stakeholders and all shades of interested parties, especially from the North, to remain calm and air their views democratically and decently while allowing the government chance to handle the matter.

“In the meantime, we are happy to announce that we are reaching out engagement with major stakeholders in the matter particularly in the North.

This is after receiving the position of the leadership of the Coalition of Northern Groups with the hope of getting the public to fully understand the whole concept and the wisdom behind the decision by the government.

“We acknowledge here the Coalition’s concerns

and in particular, its decency in urging the northern people to remain civil and resist the temptation to be drawn into anything untoward.

“We are reassured that the leadership of the Coalition is genuinely and responsibly concerned with the betterment of the whole nation and with the well-being of the Northern region and people in particular, and that it will continue to work for calm and understanding,” Lalong said.

The governor assured that at the end of the day, what was coming out of the suspension would turn out to be more beneficial and in the best interest of the whole nation.

“We are working on a complete package that comes with multi sectoral and multidimensional benefits that will serve the interest of all both in the short and long terms.

“We once again urge for understanding and cooperation from all,” he said.

The Federal Government on Tuesday announced the suspension of the planned Ruga settlement project.

Our security strategies working, Service chiefs insist Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met behind closed doors with service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where they insisted that the security strategies they are using in tackling the myriads security challenges in the county are working despite the increasing threat.

The meeting, which dwelt on the security situations in the country, lasted for about three hours.

Speaking with State House correspondents at the end of the meeting on Thursday, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar, maintained that the strategies being adopted against security challenges in the country are working.

When asked on the outcome of the meeting, he said that “the meeting is all about the security of Nigerians and Nigeria. And the message coming out of that meeting is that the Armed forces of Nigeria and other security forces will continue to

work much harder to ensure that every Nigerian is secure and the territorial integrity of Nigeria is not undermined by anybody.”

Asked if the service chiefs are considering changing their tactics, he said: “I think the strategies already been changed and from what we are seeing, the current strategies are working. What we are going to do is to ensure that all hands are on deck and every Nigerian equally has a role to play by passing relevant intelligence to us.

“So far, the strategies that we have on ground are really working and these are what we will continue to pursue.”

Among those at the meeting were the Chief of Defence Staff, Gabriel Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai and Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.

House leadership: Crisis looms as PDP summons Elumelu, Oke, Ikpeazu BoT on same page with NWC on list of candidates - Chairman

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Peace in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may be threatened as the crack in the party’s Caucus in the House of Representatives widens over selection of minority leadership positions.

Speaker House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, had during plenary on Wednesday read names of members different from that on the party’s list to fill minority leadership positions.

Consequent upon this development, the party’s National Working Committee has summoned Rep. Ndudi Elumelu, Rep. Wole Oke, Rep. Lynda Ikpeazu, Rep. Anayo Edwin, Rep. Gideon Gwadi, Rep. Toby Okechukwu and Rep. Adekoya Abdul-Majid.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP in its meeting on Thursday, resolved to summon the members to a crucial meeting at the party’s national secretariat today (Friday).

According to Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP

spokesperson, “the summons is in line with the provisions of Chapter 10 (57) (3) of the constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”

Prior to Thursday’s pronouncement on the floor of the House, the PDP had on Wednesday rejected Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila’s attempt to impose minority leadership on the party.

The party said that it had duly written to the speaker of the House of Representatives, after consultations with other minority members in the House of Representatives, notifying him of members that have been selected for leadership position in the House of Representatives, in line with dictates of the rules and parliamentary practice.

However, to the party’s utter dismay, it said that it discovered that the Speaker attempted to smuggle in names other than those recognised and forwarded to him as the leaders of the Minority in the House of Representatives.

The PDP, in the strongest terms, cautioned against this abuse of rules, parliamentary practices and procedures as

well as the convention and urged the Speaker to respect the rules and read the list submitted to him by the leadership of the PDP. The party’s candidates are Hon. Kingsley Chinda - Minority Leader, Hon. Chukwuka Onyema- Deputy Minority Leader, Hon. Yakubu Barde - Minority Whip, and Hon. Muraina Ajibola - Deputy Minority Whip But Gbajabiamila on Thursday while reading out names of Principal Officers mentioned Ndudi Elumelu as Minority Leader, Toby Okechukwu as Deputy Minority Leader, Gideon Gwari as Minority Chief Whip and Segun Adekoya as Deputy Minority Whip.

Meanwhile, chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Walud Jibril, said the BoT stands with the NWC on the decision of the party list.

This was coming on the heels of a rumoured split between the two hierarchy party organs over the House leadership issue.

Senator Jibril said “as a result of the fracas in the House of

Representatives during the selection of the PDP Minority principal officers, the BOT and the NWC have decided to intervene immediately by the NWC forwarding the party’s list to the speaker for urgent implementation.

“I want to assure all that the NWC and BOT will continue to work together in order to move the party forward.”

PIB Passage: Ninth Assembly will end the jinx, Lawan assures Tunde Opalana, Abuja President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, on Thursday, assured Nigerians of a conclusive reform in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, saying the ninth National Assembly will quicken the passage of Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) for the benefit of all.

Speaking when he received the Chief Executive Officer of ExxonMobil Group of Companies, Paul McGrath, who led the team of executives from the company to his office, Lawan said several attempts have been made by previous assemblies, but the PIB was not passed.

He said: “We came closer in the 8th Assembly, we disaggregate the bill, we did better than previous assemblies unfortunately, we ran out of time. We have vibrant team now, I promise Nigerians, we will start as soon as we inaugurate our committee and they will start the work on the PIB. “This time around, we will work with every stakeholder in the industry. Whatsoever it will take to make this Bill beneficial to Nigerians and the players, we will not hesitate.

“We demand your collaboration; we will work together in the interest of the country and everyone.”

The President of the Senate also seized the occasion to call on multinational companies who operate in the Niger Delta region to as a matter of priority intensify efforts on their corporate social responsibility.

“Corporate social responsibility is one area that requires our attention. The host community that produce this oil must be taken care of.

The goose that lay golden eggs must be protected,” Lawan advised.

Earlier, the CEO, ExxonMobil, Paul McGrath congratulated the President of the Senate and the leadership for the smooth take- off the ninth Senate, saying the ExxonMobil is always available to work with the parliament on the reform in the sector.

MaGrath promised the unalloyed support for Nigeria and her people, adding that “we look forward to closer working relationship with the ninth National Assembly and in particularly the Senate. We will support the reform in the industry and our commitment is intact.”

New Broadcasting Code tightens lose ends on Hate speech, others

Days of publishing, airing or broadcasting materials that tend to suggest hate or dangerous speech in any ramification in Nigeria are numbered.

This is because the latest National Broadcasting Code, the sixth edition, launched on Thursday in Kano by the Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Is’haq Modibbo Kawu, has effectively taken care of related breaches by any media house going forward.

In his welcome address, the NBC DG said “the 6th Edition of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code has been enriched at three levels”.

He added: “Our Commission had commissioned a major study of HATE AND DANGEROUS SPEECH in Nigeria, against the background of the widespread abuse of the broadcasting standards, in the lead to the 2015 General Elections.

Even then NBC, as the broadcasting regulatory institution, became

sucked into the vortex of the controversies of that era in our national history.

“We therefore felt that we needed to strengthen the position of the Code, in respect of HATE AND DANGEROUS SPEECH. “Similarly, new controversies emerged around the nature of LOCAL CONTENT, and the definition of what was acceptable as LOCAL CONTENT. It was clear, that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code needed to become strongly affirmative of the national aspiration to create and defend jobs in the creative industries WITHIN the Nigerian economy.

“And that patriotic, affirmative aspiration has been reflected in the letters of the 6th Nigeria Broadcasting Code.

According to him, “a final point of interest is related to the previous one, and that is in the manner that the 6th Nigeria Broadcasting Code has also reflected the conviction that our sports in general ought to get the advertising

Kawu

funding support that matches a reasonable percentage of the huge amount of advertising spend that supports foreign sporting activities”.

Kawu made it clear before industry stakeholders while unveiling the Code that “This is the document that will guide our work over the next couple of years”.

“The Nigeria Broadcasting Code is not an imposition by the

regulator on the licensees.

This is a document that the industry worked on collectively and it is a product of very exacting professional application.

“I implore our colleagues to work the straight and narrow path of professionalism which the Code prescribes.

That is the only way that we can have a Nigeria broadcasting industry which would reflect the very best of our dear country,” the NBC boss added.

DSO project: Lai Mohammed takes responsibility over N2.5bn approval Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Former Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has taken responsibility over the approval of N2.5bn released to Pinnacle Communications Ltd by the National Broadcasting Commission under the Digital Switch Over (DSO) project of the Federal Government Mohammed owned up in his statement dated June 13, 2019, which he made available to defence counsel in the alleged fraud case brought against the NBC Director General, Ishaq Modibbo Kawu and executives of Pinnacle Communications Limited.

In his statement, the embattled former minister said he approved the payment “on the strength of” particular reference to section 11.2 (c) of the

White Paper governing Implementation of the DSO in Nigeria by the NBC DG in recommending the payment to him for approval.

Lai said section 11.2(c) of the White Paper “directed the NBC to put in place necessary conditions and ensure that close to a level playing field is achieved in reference to the significant advantage over new entrants enjoyed in the DSO ecosystem by the Government Signal Distributor, in this case the ITS that came out of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), which already had 157 transmission sites spread across Nigeria.”

The former minister added that the recommendation letter from NBC also recalled that ITS had already been paid N1.7 billion for DSO rollout in three

states and therefore noted that the payment of N2.5 billion to Pinnacle Communications Limited would represent close to a level playing field that the White Paper called for.

He explained that by virtue of their position as chief executives of various parastatals under his ministry, he frequently relied on their expert professional advice when they sought his approval for projects.

“I wish to state categorically that there was no meeting in London between me and Pinnacle Communications Limited or its representatives regarding any form of payment to Pinnacle Communications Limited or its representatives,” Lai Mohammed declared in his hand written statement to ICPC. He further stated that he did not need to seek approval of the Federal

Executive Council for the payment to Pinnacle Communications Limited since he already had a presidential directive that the money released, about N10 billion was to be used under his supervision for the digital switch over.

It would be recalled that a prosecution witness, Olugbemi Abraham, had told the court that “During investigation, we could not interview the then minister of information because he said he needed clearance from the secretary to government of the federation”.

Abraham however revealed that they later took statement from Mohammed during the pendency of this case, admitting that “really, we did not bother to get in touch with the SGF to enable him allow the information minister to make statement.”

Magu warns fake NGOs, CSOs against exploiting IDPs The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has raised concerns over the increasing cases of fake Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society groups in Borno State taking advantage of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), warning that they will not be spared by the Commission.

Speaking through the Head, Maiduguri Zonal Office of the EFCC, Lawrence Iwodi, Magu noted that it was unfortunate that some individuals were taking advantage of the plights of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs in the state, by exploiting them through fake NGOs. Iwodi expressed the concerns during a familiarisation visit to the Executive Director of the Civil Society Organsations in Maiduguri, Borno State.

He said: “The advocacy of the CSOs in respect of its slogan ‘the voice of the voiceless’ is similar to the mission and vision of the EFCC in the fight against graft.

“President Muhammadu Buhari said, ‘if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria’.

“Those that are suffering are the ones that cannot talk. When you succeed with your mission, the society will progress.”

While warning against taking advantage of the plights of IDPs in the North-East in general, he said the EFCC will not waste time in prosecuting

those who are perpetrating evil and defrauding the public in the guise of running NGOs. “The EFCC has received various complaints from individuals who were defrauded by fake NGOs,” he said, stressing that it was necessary for NGOs to register with the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering, SCUML. Further addressing the Executive Director, he charged the CSOs to watch out for fraudulent NGOs and report them to the Commission for proper investigation and subsequent prosecution.

He observed that some of the local and international NGOs came in the name of rendering humanitarian assistance, but their activities were far from what they do.

He further urged them to embrace the whistleblowing policy of the Federal Government, stressing that the EFCC was willing to collaborate with all stakeholders to check money laundering activities in the country.

In response, the Executive Director of the CSOs, Ambassador Shehu Ahmad, promised to collaborate with the EFCC in every way possible.

“We represent the voice of the voiceless,” he said, further explaining that the network included CSOs, Labour Unions, NGOs, and Students Unions amongst others.

54 per cent of drug addicts are adolescents - Expert Samuel Luka, Bauchi

A health expert, Malam Saraki Musa has disclosed that 54 per cent of drug addicts in Nigeria are adolescents from the ages of 18 years and below.

Musa made the assertion on Thursday while presenting a lecture at the school awareness campaign on the dangers of drug abuse organized by the Gyara Kayanka Character Re-birth Initiative at Bauchi state College of Agriculture.

Malam Musa, who is also the President, Health Promoters and Awareness Initiative, a non-governmental organization defined drug abuse as the deliberate use of chemical substances for reasons other than intended medical substances which results in physical,

mental, emotional or social impairment of the user.

He said that the drugs most commonly abused include, tobacco, alcohol, synthetic drugs, ecstasy, cocaine, crystal meth and methamphetamine, inhalants and heroin amongst others.

While stating that peer pressure and depression are some of the causes of drug addiction among youth, Musa added that “youth associate with different types of people otherwise known as friends. Through the pressure from these friends, a child may end up having a taste of these drugs and once this is done, they continue to take it and become addicted to it.”

The medical practitioner further explained that “in the long run, they are pushed to abuse drugs so as to fit in,

escape or relax, relieve boredom, seem grown up, to rebel or to experiment.”

He added that the prevalence of drug addiction in the country has continued unabated as 7, 800 people get introduced into drug abuse on a daily basis.

According to him, the recent research conducted on the prevalence of hard drug abuse revealed that 7, 800 new cases are recorded daily across the nation.

Speaking earlier, the Secretary of the Gyara Character Re-birth Initiative, Monday Daniel explained that the event was organized in consideration of the prevalence of drug addiction in tertiary institutions.

He noted that the objectives of the coalition are creating awareness on drug abuse, public awareness and youth empowerment.

APC chieftain tasks police to flush out killer herders from Ekiti Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti Former Director General, Buhari/ Osinbajo Campaign Council in Ekiti state, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, has charged the police and other security agencies to fish out the criminals masquerading as herdsmen who are allegedly perpetrating evil in parts of the state.

Osinkolu described as frightening, the killing of a 22 –year-old undergraduate, Maria in Ise Ekiti last weekend and one Emmanuel Ilori in Orin Ekiti on Monday by suspected herdsmen, saying the trend must be halted in the overall interest of the people.

Maria was killed on her father’s farm last week Friday, while Ilori, a hunter was shot dead during his encounter with suspected herders around 12 midnight on Monday.

Condemning the gruesome killing in a statement in Ado Ekiti, Osinkolu

stated that the death of these two innocent people would affect the investment drive of Governor Kayode Fayemi’s government.

Osinkolu applauded Fayemi on the assurances given to apprehensive Ekiti residents that no stranger will be allowed to take over any portion of land in any part of the state.

He advised the Commissioner of Police, Asuquo Amba, to re-jig the state’s security apparatus to be able to tame the rampaging killers.

“Apart from the fact that the police must up their game, they must be ready to work with the local hunters, who understand the terrain and these evil forests where the killers are hiding.

“It is sad and disheartening to see innocent residents being killed, particularly an undergraduate of a university by gunmen hiding in our forests. So, the police must work with all interested members of the society, particularly the local

hunters to be able to secure the lives and property of our citizens.

“The public must also be aware of the fact that the police can’t do this arduous task alone, we must be ready to give them sufficient information they can act upon for these blood suckers to be flushed out of our state,” he added.

The APC stalwart saluted the courage exhibited by Fayemi in issuing a stringent warning to those allegedly plotting to forcefully arrogate Ekiti land to themselves to bury such a thought.

“This shows that Ekiti has declared war on these killers and all of us must key into the agenda of making Ekiti secure through our contributions to the newly formed Ekiti state Security Trust Fund,” he stated and appealed to traditional rulers to mobilise their people on the need to be vigilant and report strange faces to the security agencies for prompt action.

An expatriate working with the African Ceramic Company at Obajana in Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi state was attacked on Tuesday by unknown gun men who snatched N10 million from him.

The expatriate who was said to be returning from a bank in Lokoja, the state capital in company of a police escort was attacked at a filling station close to Ganaja Village, a surburb of Lokoja.

Earlier reports indicated that the police escort was killed by the suspected robbers, but when contacted, the state Commissioner of Police, Hakim Busari, who confirmed the attack said the policeman was shot on his legs.

Busari also disclosed that several arrests have been made in connection with the robbery, The police commissioner also disclosed that investigation into the matter has commenced and assured that the outcome will soon be made public.

Implement reports on Tiv/Jukun crisis, stakeholders demand Chiangi Avese, Makurdi

A cross -section of stakeholders in Ukum Local Government Area of Benue state has called for the implementation the reports of previous committees set up by the federal government on the TIv/Jukun crisis.

The stakeholders, including the Ukum Local Government caretaker committee members, traditional rulers, opinion leaders, women and youth made their position known during a consultative meeting organised by the Benue/Taraba peace committee on the Tiv/Jukun crisis held Thursday at Sankera.

In separate speeches at the meeting, the Ukum Local Government caretaker committee Chairman, Ibier Logo Tor-Tyokyaa and the Ter Ukum, Chief Ikyaave Orkar decried the crisis between the two neighbouring tribes.

Tor-Tyokyaa called on the committee to revisit past reports to see recommendations made to government to make an informed recommendation in the present circumstance.

The Ukum monarch lamented that the “relationship between the two tribes which stretches for centuries has suffered a setback as a result of politics.

“Unhealthy politics, land ownership, indigeneship and settler syndrome as well as boundary adjustment, lack of political will by the federal and state governments to tackle the challenges are factors responsible for the age -long killings between the two tribes.”

2019 elections most widely Short News JAMB arrests another UTME candidate for covered, says INEC chairman Again, upgrading scores We’ll continue complying with court rulings - Okoye

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The 2019 general elections have been described as the most extensively covered event in Nigeria.

National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said this on Thursday in Abuja, at a meeting with media practitioners to review the role of journalists in the last general election.

He disclosed that a total number of 2, 131 journalists drawn from various parts of the country and abroad were accredited and effectively covered the three stages of elections nationwide.

The chairman said the commission accredited 1, 799 journalists from more than 150 domestic media organisations and 332 journalists from 52 foreign media organisations from different parts of Africa, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, Australia and Asia to cover the 2019 general elections.

Prof. Yakubu said the purpose of the media review meeting is to re-examine the entire electoral process with a view to consolidating the successes and

establishing a template that would address the challenges.

Addressing participants, he said “the commission wants to hear from you how processes can be improved upon from pre-election activities such as the registration of voters, conduct of primaries and nomination of candidates by political parties, campaigns (including election debates by candidates) to election day activities such as accreditation of voters, voting process (including more effective measures to stem vote buying), collation and declaration of results.

“Rather, the commission would like you to share your field experiences, observations and recommendations on all aspects of the election from logistics, election technology, security, media accreditation, coverage of the elections, adequacy and effectiveness of public enlightenment drive by the commission, access to information by the media, access to political parties and candidates as well as issues of misinformation, disinformation, fake news, hate speech and more.

“We look forward to your robust contributions and recommendations.

The whole purpose of today’s meeting is how we can improve on processes and procedures for which you were not only reporters but observers and actively involved in several ways. Today, we will talk less and listen more to you.”

He said the commission has been interfacing with stakeholders in the electoral process on daily basis since Monday while he promised Nigerians that INEC shall undertake a comprehensive review of the 2019 general elections with a view to learning the necessary lessons for improvement of future elections.

The commission appreciated the media for the useful contributions made towards making Nigeria’s electoral process better.

Meanwhile, the commission has assured of its readiness to comply with the superior jurisdiction of the courts in the determination of issues in the electoral process.

National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye at the occasion said that the commission will continue to be creative in the application and interpretation of its powers and mandate.

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that the board has again apprehended a candidate, Cletus Kokowa for upgrading his scores from 162 to 206 with the help of a fraudster.

Kokowa becomes the second candidate to be apprehended by the board following that of Adah Eche, who was nabbed last month for a similar offence.

Kokowa confessed before management of the board on Thursday that he was asked to pay N10, 000 for the upgrading.

The board told reporters that the candidate with registration number 95329290ED from Bayelsa state contacted the syndicate through a Whatsapp group a few weeks ago where they told him that they could upgrade his score from 162.

It explained that the fraudsters later sent a fake result screenshot to Kokowa, stating that his score was now 206.

When the result, however, remained unchanged on the JAMB site, Kokowa’s father, Garen Kokowa, wrote a letter of complaint to the board asking for the rectification of his son’s scores.

In the letter of complaint addressed to the JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, the suspect’s father wrote, “your inability for swift response to address the issue has led to my son’s forfeiture of his Nigerian Defence Academy admission opportunity.

“However, I am craving for your indulgence to quickly rectify the result in affirmative to enable him have a good stand for his second choice of institution.”

We are on course, Ekiti APC taunts PDP Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado-Ekiti

The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ekiti state has advised the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop shedding crocodile’s tears over the recent security breach in Orin Ekiti.

The APC in a statement by the Director of Publicity, Sam Oluwalana stated that the antics by the opposition party to incite the people of the state against the present administration will fail.

“We are aware that during the four years of PDP reign in the state, funds meant to assist security agencies in the state were diverted to private pockets resulting in the breakdown of law and order,” the image-maker said.

He pointed out that there were tales that cows seized by the agents of the state during the reign of impunity of the PDP were shared by the loyalists of Governor Ayo Fayose, who turned the Government House to an abattoir.

Oluwalana, who is also senior special assistanton party affairs to Governor Kayode Fayemi explained that with the visit of the governor and security chiefs to Orin Ekiti few days ago, the opposition should no longer cry more than the bereaved.

“By now, the people of the state know who is truly serving them and one that will only make promises and will not be seen or be taken serious,” he added.

Niger expends N2bn on Suleja water project revitalization Saka Bolaji, Minna The Niger state government has revealed that it has spent over N2 billion on the revitalization of the water project in Suleja Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Abubakar Sanni -Bello stated this when the Abubakar Lado Campaign Organization visited him in Minna.

Gov. Bello said the state government is making plans to upgrade the Suleja General Hospital at the cost N500 million.

The member representing Suleja, Tafa and Gurara Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Rep. Abubakar Lado, who led the delegation, said the visit was to congratulate the governor on his re-election.

Rep. Lado however, stressed the need for those in leadership positions to work together in a bid to improve the living standards of the people who voted them into power.

He promised to work with his other colleagues at the national level to ensure that the state’s budget is improved to enhance growth and development in the state.

Ensure quality contents in advert, Rep. Chinda refuses to yield to Elumelu in principal officers’ tussle APCON charges new inductees Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (left) and Deputy Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Ehie Edison, and others during the submission of arms surrendered by repentant criminals at the Government House Port Harcourt.

Henry Omunu, Abuja There was mild drama at Thurday’s plenary of the House of Representatives following the refusal of the anoited candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the position of House Minority Leader, Rep. Kinsley Chinda refused to recognize the minority principal officers announced

by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila by occupying the seat allocated to the minority leader.

Our correspondent recalls that the speaker had on Wednesday announced Rep. Ndudi Elumelu as the minority leader against the PDP’s choice, Rep. Kingsley Chinda.

Against the tradition that principal officers escort the speaker into the House chamber, Rep. Chinda was said to have made his way into the chamber as early as 9am to occupy the seat meant for the minority leader.

On entering the chamber, the Speaker Gbajabiamila accompanied by other principal officers, including was

however, confronted with the spectacle that there was no seat for Rep. Elumelu and to starve off any confrontation advised Elumelu to take an alternative seat.

The speaker did not however, hide his anger as he went ahead to approve the votes and proceedings of Wednesday, thereby authenticating Elumelu and others as minority principal officers. This was applauded by members through a standing ovation as they shouted ‘Gbaja, Gbaja’ in unison.

Attempts by Rep. Chinda to raise a point of order rebuffed by the speaker who told him that he was on a wrong seat and therefore, cannot in accordance with House rules be recognized to speak.

When Rep. Chinda insisted on moving the order by repeatedly shouting “point of order, point of order,” the speaker warned him, saying “I am warning that nobody should try the might of this House because if you do, you will regret it.”

While supporters of the speaker

hailed his dexterity in handling the impasse, he continued by addressing Chinda thus, “Chinda, do not try me; you are not on your allocated seat and will not be heard.”

But, when Rep. Mark Gbabila raised a point of order claiming that the speaker was threatening his colleagues in violation of House rules, Gbajabiamila retorted by saying that “go and consult your dictionary so that you will know the difference between threats and warning; you are ruled out of order.”

Earlier, Rep. Okezie Kalu (Abia) raised a point of order claiming that he was threatened psychologically in the hallowed chamber of the House because some ranking members of the House attempted to snatch the mace during Wednesday’s plenary and consequently moved that a committee be set up to investigate the matter.

Responding, the speaker assured him that the matter would be referred to an ad hoc committee on ethics and privileges whose members would be named at the end of plenary.

Esther Taiwo, Lagos The acting Registrar, Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON), Mrs. Ijedi Iyoha has charged newly inducted practitioners to uphold the tenets of the advertising profession at all times.

Iyoha gave this charge at the induction of 50 new advertising practitioners and eight associate members who were upgraded as full members of the council, recently.

Among the inductees, is Head Media and Public Relations Unit, Caleb University, Imota, Lagos, Elvis Otobo.

The acting registrar also tasked the certified advertisers to contribute their quota in promoting the principles and standards of advertising in Nigeria by ensuring quality content.

She admonished the inductees to abide by the rules and regulations as stated in the code of advertising and work with the council to improve advertising in Nigeria in line with global standards.

At the induction training session, the facilitators, Seni Adetu, founder/group chief executive, Algorithm Media and Steve Babaeko, chief operating officer, X3M Media canvassed the need for APCON to sanitize advertising on social media.

The facilitators said this was necessary because it has become a trend for people to record anything as advert or jingle and post it without vetting, adding that majority of such posts breach advertising laws as people lay claims to unverifiable outcomes.

“Many companies now use influencers on social media to launch or promote their goods and services without due process. Many of these influencers do not know the rules governing advertising. There have being several cases of violation,” they said.

We must first invest in our children, then our cows

Tope Fasua

I know many Westerners who will die for their dogs and cats, but who don’t care if the neighbour next door starved to death. When I went for a Master’s Degree in London in 2005, my would-be neighbour at 4, Crossfield Avenue, Swiss Cottage, David Cooke, came to me on my first day at that apartment and said, “Hey, Tope (pronounced Top), if you don’t see me for three weeks, don’t bother knocking on my door, ok”.

What David, a poet, didn’t reckon with, was that I was more a hermit than himself. It was he who came knocking, at some point, when for four weeks we hadn’t seen. Of course, I was busy with studies and all that. He too had felt I was a lowlife just because I was black, and later confessed that I was the best flatmate he ever lived with in his 30 years at that property as a sit-in tenant. He felt that the landlord, Ronnie Chitiyat, a Cypriot, had brought me there to finally drive him out.

Anyway, there are too many examples around the world where humans would rather save an animal than a fellow human. Why? Let us explore. It could be because animals cannot speak and are considered more vulnerable than humans. It could also be because animals can be sold and bought for monetary value – at least much more easily than you

would human beings (yes, many modern slaves are being sold around the world till tomorrow). We know that Nigerian men are being sold for $400 in Libya till tomorrow. Nigerian girls are being sold for around $300 anywhere between Cote D’Ivoire and Mali. Many dogs cost more than this, same with many cows. I think the correct psychoanalysis is that many human beings see other humans as competition, and would rather show love to animals they like and see as friends. I checked this issue on Google and came up with shocking facts about how little human beings value human lives and what they can do for dogs especially.

Perhaps one day, we may look around and find that it is easier and better to be animals than humans.

I read in Joseph Stiglitz’s Making Globalization Work a comment that it was better to be a cow in Europe than to be a human being in Africa. Why? Each European cow gets a subsidy of about $3.00 per day to see to its wellbeing. Yes, they are eventually slaughtered but aren’t human beings slaughtered everywhere in different unnecessary wars, un-mourned and unsung, and sometimes in their millions? The modern world will have to come to terms with the growing worthlessness of human beings, especially those trapped in

underdeveloped, backward, failed and failing states. Unfortunately my country, Nigeria, is one of those kinds of countries, and perhaps the king of them all. I have to pinch myself sometimes to ask God just why he created me a Nigerian and what he wants me to do with this problem.

If we only live once, it will be a huge waste to be born into a country like Nigeria, to live and die and leave this space the way we met it, or worse. The essence of creation has to be about a positive impact in my reckoning.

The World Poverty Clock says we have 93 million people in extreme poverty and that poverty is growing every second. Some people think that just because they have sorted themselves out or are lucky to be sitting pretty; then all is well with everyone. No, it is not, extreme poverty, hunger, malnutrition, hopelessness and joblessness.

These are the realities of majority of Nigerians. Millions of Nigerians live beggarly lives. This is more in some cultures than others, but it takes on different styles, from society to society. Apart from the ones we see on the streets, there are also ‘fine baras’, who dress well and move from office to office, or haunt bus stops. Then there are those who depend so heavily on their family members who may have jobs or businesses. The upshot

of this is that more than half of us are unproductive or underproductive.

Perhaps that is why it is emerging that even in Nigeria, animals – cows, dogs, cats – are now being valued higher than humans.

Look, here we are with a myriad of issues yet unsolved, and hardly being considered. We have problems of poverty and hunger as noted earlier. Malnutrition affects millions of poor Nigerian children. Bill Gates told us so. What about our collapsed infrastructure and our non education of millions of our children. Buhari backed down so fast on the Almajirai ban issue. Rescuing those children just had to wait while we fix political and other issues. Our economy is not growing at a pace and rate that covers for our population increase.

Our currency is decelerating yearly at a double digit rate; after all, inflation is also devaluation. They have the same effect. We have a laundry list of issues that should demand an immediate emergence approach; issues that will have immediate positive value on the lives of our human beings. What do we do with our health sector? How do we tool up our young ones to be solution providers to the problems that affect us as a people? How do we begin to catch up with the rest of the world? Aren’t we scared at just how vulnerable we are?

Whither the Due Process Mechanism?

Eric Teniola

A few years ago, those in the central government in Abuja will tell you that the fear of the due process mechanism was the beginning of wisdom. The policy was as crucial as that of the import license carried out by the then Ministry of Trade, which began during the era of Generals Murtala Muhammed/Olusegun Obasanjo. While being implemented, many were concluding at that time that the era of accountability in government had finally arrived.

But now we hear less about the due process mechanism and its implementation.

Due Process is a mechanism for ensuring strict compliance with openness, competition and cost accuracy rules and procedures that should guide contract award within the Federal Government of Nigeria. It is the popularly adopted short term for the operations of the Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (BMPIU), tasked with implementing Nigeria’s Public Procurement Reform programme.

The BMPIU was established by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2001, in fulfilment of his tenacious commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of Nigeria’s public resources.

The unit was then headed

by Mrs. Obiageli (Oby) Katryn Ezekwesili, who had initially gotten into government as the special assistant in charge of projects under President Obasanjo. Unlike Bodunde Adeyanju, Andy Uba, Handei Okoli, Tunde Olusule or Dr. Doyin Okupe, Ms. Ezekwesili was not a pioneer staff of President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, as she came in 2000. Yet unlike most pioneer staff of the president, Ezekwesili, from Anambra State, had known Obasanjo as far back as 1991 while she was worked

in the Centre for International Development, Harvard University.

She used to attend the activities of Obasanjo’s African Leadership Forum (ALF) in Ota, Ogun State as far back as 1991. Her contributions to lectures and seminars at the ALF were outstanding then, and that was before General Obasanjo was sent to prison by General Sani Abacha.

Only a few people who had worked under General Olusegun Obasanjo subsequently worked under him as president in the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, from 1999. Some them included Major General Abdullahi Muhammed, the military governor of Benue/Plateau State in 1975, who later became chief of staff to President Obasanjo; Chief Phillip Asiodu, who served as permanent secretary under Obasanjo as a military General and later became the chief economic adviser to President Obasanjo; Mr. Bodunde Adeyanju from Ado-Ekiti, who worked in the African Leadership Forum from 1994 and later became personal assistant (domestic) to the president; Taiwo Ojo, who first joined the ALF right from high school in 1991, until he attained his master’s degree in 1997, and later became a trusted private secretary under President Obasanjo. Equally, Ms. Ezekwesili, Ambassador A.O. Esan, Gbolade Osinowo and Chief (Mrs) J.O. Ayo should be mentioned.

Two other people who were prominent in the African Leadership Forum in Ota between 1993 and 1998 but who did not serve under President Obasanjo were Prince Adebiyi Adegboye Adesida (19502013), who later became the Deji of Akure and Ambassador Segun Apata from Oka in Akoko South Local Government of Ondo State, who is at present the chairman of the Nigerian Bottling Company Limited.

Ambassador Apata was to be the chief of staff to President Obasanjo in 1999 but at that time he was engaged in Nigeria’s diplomatic service as the country’s ambassador and deputy representative to the United Nations in New York.

When Ms. Ezekwesili came to government at the age of 36 then, she had the backing and confidence of President Obasanjo and with that influence, she was able to pull through most of her programmes. She was not just a special assistant but a powerful one at that, who had the eyes and ears of the president. She was bold and assertive. No doubt, the due process mechanism was her first project. She implemented the project along with Mr. Steve Osagiede Oronsaye from Edo State. Etubon Anthony Ani as minister of finance in 1995 brought Mr. Orosanye from Peat Marwick Cassleton Elliot, an accounting firm, to government as a director of special duties. He graduated as a special assistant under President Obasanjo in 1999 to principal secretary and later became a permanent secretary.

The late President Umaru Yar’Adua appointed him head of service of the federation in 2009.

A diagnostic study conducted in 2001 into the state of the federal government’s public procurement process claimed that Nigeria may have lost several hundreds of billions of naira due to the flagrant abuse of procedures for the award of public contracts, and the lack of transparency, competence-based competition and merit, as the fundamental criteria for the award of public contracts. The findings of the study made it imperative that the country urgently needed to reform its procurement system if it was to reduce the large scale corruption and waste that had reduced the

efficiency of the Nigerian public sector.

When the unit took off in 2001, it took over the function and powers of the directors of finance and supplies of the various ministries.

Those directors felt jittery and threatened. Several times they took their complaints to the then head of service, Alhaji Yayale Ahmed.

The mission of the unit was to use the due process mechanism to re-establish and sustain an open, transparent and competitive federal procurement system that is “integrity-driven, upholds spending within budget and ensures speedy implementation of projects in order to achieve value-for-money outcomes without sacrificing quality and standards”.

One of the main objectives of the unit was to harmonise and update all federal government policies and practices on public procurement, to ensure that project conceptualisation and packaging match the defined priorities and targets as set in annual appropriations and to strictly enforce the due principles of transparency, competition and efficiency and value-for-money in the procurement of public goods, works and services. Other objectives of the unit were to ensure efficient and integrity-based monitoring of the implementation of all federal government projects in line with due process principles, to prevent extrabudgetary spending by ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government by ensuring that only projects with due appropriation by the National Assembly are certified and thus funded for execution, and to prevent contract inflation by ensuring cost reasonableness, accuracy and comparability of all public contracts with national, regional and global costs.

Editorial Commentary NEWS N21bn fraud trial: Ex-Air force chief, Amosu, others seek plea bargain Andrew Orolua, Abuja Former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (rtd.) and two others, who are facing trial for an alleged N21 billion fraud on Thursday, informed Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos of their willingness to enter into a plea bargain with the EFCC. Amosu, the first defendant is standing trial alongside Air Vice Marshall Jacobs Adigun, a former Chief of Accounts and Budgeting and Air Commodore Gbadebo Owodunni, a former Director of Finance and Budget, in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) are facing an amended 13-count charge before the court.

They were charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for conspiracy and conversion to personal use of the sum of N21billion belonging to NAF. The defendants had on arraignment pleaded not guilty to the charges.

But at the resumed trial on Thursday, prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, informed the court that the defendants, through their lawyers, wrote the EFCC, expressing their willingness to enter into a plea bargain over their alleged crimes.

Oyedepo, however, expressed worry that the defendants and their counsels have not shown commitment towards the plea bargain they requested and in the general resolution of the matter.

“After receiving the letter from the defendants, indicating their willingness to enter into a plea bargain. I made several phone calls to the defence

team as I was directed by the EFCC, urging them to come to the EFCC office for a meeting, but they have not shown up. So, it appears to me that the defence and their clients are not committed towards the resolution of this matter,” Oyedepo told the court.

He further stated that if the defence team refused to come for the meeting before the next adjourned date, the prosecution will have no choice than to continue with the trial. n his response, counsel to Amosu, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), told the court that they did not honour the invitation to the meeting because the Commission had not formally responded to their letter.

Ayorinde noted that the EFCC only made an oral, rather than a formal invitation for the meeting.

Counsel to AVM Adigun, the second defendant, Norrison Quarkers (SAN), and counsel to Owodunni, the third defendant aligned themselves with Ayorinde’s submission, insisting that the EFCC needed to respond to their letter in writing, and further told the court of their willingness to continue with the plea bargain with the Commission.

Quarkers also brought before the court a “Motion on Notice” seeking the temporary release of the international passport of his client to allow him travel out of the country on medical grounds.

Responding to the motion, Oyedepo told the court that the application was just served on the prosecution two days back and that he would need ample time to respond to it.

Justice Aneke adjourned the case to October 9, 2019 for hearing of the application and continuation of trial.

APC, PDP mourn victims of Ijegun pipeline fire The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described Thursday’s pipeline explosion in Ijegun area of the state as devastating.

The Assistant Publicity Secretary of the party, Abiodun Salami, made the statement while speaking on Thursday in Lagos.

Salami said the incident was a very sad one, especially as lives were lost and property destroyed.

He commiserated with victims’ families, the people of Ijegun and the state government over the incident, adding that pipeline explosion was becoming incessant in the area, and called on the relevant authorities to do the needful to avert a recurrence.

“As a party, we are sad about the pipeline explosion in Ijegun this morning, we are devastated. We are particularly pained because lives were lost to the accompanying inferno and so many vehicles were burnt.

We commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives as well as the people of Ijegun and the state government.

“We also wish those who sustained burns in the incident speedy recovery, while praying for succour for those who lost their vehicles. Pipeline explosion is becoming rampant in Ijegun and we are calling on the relevant authorities to take the necessary measures to address the problem,” he said.

He commended the swift response of rescue agencies to the incident, urging

them to do their best to make the area completely safe.

Meanwhile, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has also described the incident as unfortunate.

The Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Taofik Gani, in a statement, said the party was pained by the inferno.

He said the party’s heart was with the families of dead victims and all those who suffered one loss or the other in the incident.

The party spokesman urged the state government to take care of those who recorded losses in the incident adequately, especially the dependents of the dead. Gani blamed the government as well as Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), owners of the pipeline, for not providing adequate security around the facility, causing vandals to have a field day in the area.

He said the incessant explosions in the area must be stopped, and the government must address the neglect suffered by the people of the community.

“The state must seek compensation from NNPC on behalf of the victims and the community.

“While we condole with the victims of the fire, we charge the state government to ensure adequate medical support gets to the injured, just as the dead must all be identified, buried with dignity, and their dependants’ supported,” he said.

OUR POSITION

Taming the cancer scourge in Nigeria Feeding on widespread ignorance about the disease, cancer of all forms has continued to wreak havoc on humanity, prematurely cutting down destinies and dreams. It has remained the world’s number one killer disease.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently revealed that new cancer cases and deaths in Africa are projected to double by 2040.

Statistics have shown that estimated new cases in Nigeria as at 2018 was put at 116,000 while 41 cancer related deaths were also recorded.

Despite efforts by government and other relevant stakeholders to raise more awareness on how to live a healthy life, cancer has continued 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.

In Nigeria, this chronic illness with often severe effects is a potential death sentence.

There is hardly anybody who doesn’t know somebody who has either died of, or is suffering from it.

The death of many low and high profile figures from cancer should be a wake-up call for government to be more committed to addressing the rising incidence and cost of cancer in Nigeria. To combat the menace, an intensive community-based mass cervical cancer screening campaign is desirable.

Nigerians cannot afford the cost of cancer care. When it strikes, even the rich become beggars. Cancer management must be recognised as team work and government must take the lead. Cancer control must be centrally coordinated and the Federal Ministry of Health must take up that role.

We are of the opinion that government should admit that cancer is now an issue of primary health concern and a major cause of premature death of Nigerians irrespective of age, sex, or social class. They should take the bull by the horn by equipping public hospitals and medical centres with effective diagnostic capability to quickly detect and treat cancer infections.

The government at all levels should recognise the urgent need for the institution of a policy for mandatory free annual screening checks at local, state and national levels and put in place long-overdue comprehensive world class centres for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Cancer is not like malaria or typhoid that weighs you down when it starts. It is not a physical growth that you can easily see.

Medical experts call it maligned tumour, it grows abnormally and it spreads. So the earlier you nip it in the bud, the better. A lot of people walk around not knowing that they have this disease inside of them until it gets to a very alarming stage before they find out.

This is why it is also very important to raise awareness on imbibing in healthy lifestyle such as good diet, exercise and regular medical checkups. Knowledge is key in the fight against cancer and in getting people to be conscious of their health, they need to know what to do. When people are armed with knowledge, spread of cancer would be reduced.

Regular screening is very important because we believe that some of these issues can be nipped in the bud if it is detected early. If you discover you have an ailment, you take care of it on time. Cancer should not kill anybody anymore because there are opportunities for it to be detected and if detected on time it can be stopped.

Kogi, Bayelsa polls: Dino, Alaibe, Sule pick Short News Police beef up security in Osun ahead PDP governorship nomination forms of Supreme Court judgement

As the slated date for collection of expression of interest and nomination forms ahead of the November 16 governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) enters the third week, three aspirants were at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja on Thursday to pick their forms.

Two aspirants from Kogi state, Aminu Abubakar Suleiman and Senator Dino Melaye and Timi Alaibe from Bayelsa state collected their forms after paying the mandatory fees of N21 million each.

Timi Alaibe told journalists after picking his forms that he will address the fundamental issues responsible for youth restiveness and create an enabling environment for job creation in Bayelsa state.

He said he was clear as to what he wants to do if he has the mandate of the people as he has expressed confidence that the PDP will retain Bayelsa state, adding that as governor, he would consolidate on the good works that the incumbent Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson has done so far in the state.

Alaibe said that he will consolidate on the fortunes of the Dickson administration, assuring that he will ensure that infrastructure, education,

healthcare and security are given critical considerations.

“We are going to consolidate on his achievements, especially his work in areas of critical infrastructure in the education sector, health and other critical infrastructural projects,” he said.

Also, Senator Dino Melaye, after collecting his nomination/expression of interest forms, said he is in the race to kick- start another historic journey to liberate Kogi state from economic cankerworm and financial scavengers.

He said his intention to run for the Kogi state governorship poll is not solely his, but is borne out of the agitation, clarion call and passion from people of the state because of the dire need to recover the state which has been completely battered, shattered and destroyed.

“Today, the magnitude and intensity of killings in Kogi state surpasses any other time in the history of our state. The insecurity in the state we have never experienced such.

Unemployment is on the high side.

Retrenchment, sack and non -payment of salaries and pension is now a tradition in Kogi state.

“The economy and the economic activities in Kogi state have completely

depleted. I have heard the loud cry from the Almighty and he said who do I send and I said, send me.”

Melaye promised to bring back hope to the people of the state and to bring back unity among the various tribes, and ethnic groups in the state.

Another aspirants from Kogi state, Aminu Sulieman said the state is in dire need of change of good leadership having undergone in the last three and half years, deterioration in all sectors.

He said that “it is a well known fact that today in Nigeria, Kogi state civil servants have been turned to beggars, simply because their hard earned money does not go to them.

“The story about insecurity is unfortunate; if you are passing through the state you’ll be afraid of kidnapping or bandits. Similarly, for those who are residing in the state they sleep with their eyes closed.”

Justifying the capability of any governor of the state to pay the N30, 000 minimum wage, Suleiman said Kogi at the moment generates almost N1billion as internal revenue per month, plus an average of N3.5 billion from the federation account.

He argued that with the number of civil servants, the state should be able to pay the minimum of 30, 000.

The Osun state Police Command on Thursday said security has been beefed up in the state to prevent any breakdown of law and order ahead of today’s Supreme Court judgment on the 2018 Osun governorship election.

The command’s spokesperson, Folashade Odoro, who disclosed this in an interview, said that the police is fully prepared for the outcome of the legal tussle.

“Officers have been placed on red alert and are proactive to prevent any kind of violence or demonstration in the state. We will however, want to urge people of the state to maintain law and order and go about their lawful businesses without fear or intimidation,” she said.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke had challenged the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola at the Osun 2018 Governorship Election Tribunal.

The tribunal on March 22 declared Adeleke as the winner of the election, but the judgment was later overturned by the Appeal Court on May 9 and eventually, the case moved to the apex court for final judgement which will be delivered today.

Senate to increase budgetary funding for primary healthcare

The Senate on Thursday passed a motion to increase budgetary allocation for the management of Primary Health Care (PHC) in the country.

The resolution of the Senate was hinged on a motion sponsored by Sen. Oluremi Tinubu (APC/Lagos Central) and 108 other senators on the need to increase funding of primary health care for the benefits of Nigerians.

Sen. Tinubu, said the motion became necessary because of the challenges associated with health management in the country, adding that the health problems were traced to the low performance of primary health care facilities.

The senator added that available indicators from a World Bank survey showed that the performance of primary health care was being hampered by lack of financial resources, infrastructure deficit, and lack of drugs, equipment and vaccines.

She quoted the Frontiers in Public Health journal as having said that “only about 20 per cent of the 30, 000 primary health care centres in Nigeria are working with most of them lacking capacity to provide essential services.”

According to the senator, the failure of primary health care and the belief that it is for low income earners has resulted to influx of patients to secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities.

Senators Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu East), Sen.Alero Adamu (Kebbi Central) and Dahiru Ashatu (Adamawa Central), who contributed to debate on the motion said that accessibility to healthcare was a fundamental right and must be accorded the required attention.

The senate, in addition to increasing the funding, urged the ministry of health to create awareness on the benefits of health and life insurance and further directed the ministry of environment to put in place policies to ensure that every employer of labour has health insurance package for their employees.

It also urged federal and state ministries of health to encourage medical technological innovations in primary health facilities in their respective domains.

Wase tasks journalists on investigative journalism Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Idris Wase, has advised journalists covering the National Assembly to carry out investigative journalism and ensure their stories are balanced before publication.

Wase gave the advice while receiving members of the House of Representatives Press Corps in his office on Thursday in Abuja. The deputy speaker said that the House “welcomes objective criticism,” adding that House members have nothing to hide.

The deputy speaker said that the House was willing to partner with the media, adding that the doors of the principal officers of the House would always remain open to answer and entertain inquiries

from members of the fourth estate.

He assured that he would look into the needs of the press corps and try to provide training and other logistics within available resources to aid the coverage of the House.

Earlier, Chairman of the House Press Corps, Mrs. Grace Ike had congratulated the deputy speaker on his emergence as a presiding officer of the House, adding that the courtesy call was to congratulate and familiarise with him.

The chairman thanked Wase for honouring the corps by appointing one of its members, Mohammed Puma, as his chief press secretary.

Ike said that Wase’s new position was in recognition of his excellent performance as a legislator over the years and his enviable

contributions toward nation building.

“We are partners in progress and would join hands with you to advance the cause of this House and the legislature at large. As members of the fourth estate of the realm, we have an obligation to report objectively and at the same time protect national interest.

“We are very conscious of our social responsibility and we are ready to support your office to the next level. There is no doubt that if our democracy must endure, there is need for a free press with improved welfare packages.

“We urge you to use your good office to revisit legislation that will address remunerations in the media industry,” she urged.

The Lagos state government has announced plans to resume construction work on the Igbogbo and Agric-Isawo Roads in the Ikorodu division of the state when the rains subside.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave the assurance on Thursday after an inspection tour of the Imota Light Industrial Park, housing the biggest rice mill in the country.

The governor, who was accompanied by the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat and other top government officials, noted that the rice mill project with a production capacity of 32 metrictonnes per hour will be ready before the end of the year.

According to him, the project when completed will open up the community and its environs by creating employment opportunities while the industrial park will accommodate and encourage Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs).

The rice mill upon completion is expected to produce 2.8 million bags of 50kg rice per annum with other components such as 16 silos, truck parks, among others. It is expected to create about 1, 000 to 1, 500 jobs directly.

“Due to the importance of this project, we intend to resume work on the two major roads connecting this mill. We are aware of the two major critical roads in the Ikorodu axis, the Igbogbo and Isawo/Agric Roads; when there is a break in the rainfall, the contractors will fully get back to site. We need to be tactical to avoid waste.

“We know how critical these roads are to you. I know how the roads were and also know how it is now. Please exercise patience.

When the rains subside, contractors will be fully mobilised to site and you will begin to see major improvement in Ikorodu,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He said that the rice mill would probably meet about 15 to 20 per cent of the national need when it starts production.

Short News Ex-SGF’s company wasn’t paid consultancy fee, witness tells court A’Ibom assembly confirms 19 A prosecution witness in the trial of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and five others on Thursday averred that the company the ex-SGF was alleged to have private interest in was not paid for its consultancy work.

Lawal, along with his younger brother, Hamidu David Lawal, Suleiman Abubakar, Apeh John Monday and two companies, Rholavision Engineering Limited and Josmon Technologies Limited were re-arraigned on an amended 10-count charge bordering on fraud, diversion of funds and criminal conspiracy to the tune of over N500 million.

The four suspects and the two companies are being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The witness, Hamza Adamu, in his testimony told the court that after the completion of the first phase of the clearing of the overgrown grass, the second phase was awarded in September, 2016 to Josmon Technologies

Limited which executed the first phase.

According to him, like the first phase, Rholavision Engineering Limited was also appointed consultant to the project.

“The first project was in March, 2016 while the second phase was in September, 2016. After the first project, the communities requested for more projects.Another project was awarded in September, 2016, which is the second phase for additional 250km for clearing of grass, irrigation, motorised boats and irrigation gate for the sum of N258 million.

“Josmon Technologies Limited was given the second phase. As the case with the first project, Rholavision was also appointed as consultant for the second project,” the witness told the court.

He added that on completion of the project, a final valuation was issued by the consultant for the final payment to Josmon Technologies Limited.

The further witness stated that as the contractor was paid, Rholavision was not paid the 2.5 per cent of the

N258 million contract sum for the consultancy work.

“Rholavision was not paid because there was no approval by the ministerial tender board of the office of the secretary to the government of the federation.

Therefore, they were not paid,” he stated.

Adamu informed the court that Josmon Technologies Limited was first paid N203 million after the deduction of five per cent each for withholding tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) which was N11 million.

Meanwhile, for health reason, the presiding judge, Justice Jude Okeke, said the counsel for the defendants would cross- examine the witness at the next adjourned date.

He, therefore, adjourned until September 18 and September 24 for cross- examination and continuation of hearing.

It would be recalled that the EFCC accused Lawal of illegally benefiting from the approval of N544 million for the removal of invasive plant species and simplified irrigation.

Legislator canvasses rail transportation of petroleum products Chiangi Avese, Makurdi A Benue state House of Assembly member representing Guma state Constituency, Williams Ortyom has advocated for the resuscitation of rail transportation of petroleum products in the country.

Ortyom made the call while speaking to the Daily Times on Thursday in Makurdi after commiserating with the victims of Monday’s petrol tanker explosion at Ahumbe settlement in Gwer-East Local Government Area of the state.

The legislator declared that “the federal government should resuscitate rail transport throughout the country as a safer means of transporting petroleum products,” lamenting that Nigeria is the only major oil producing country that still transports petroleum products to long destinations by road.

“Over 10 tanker explosions resulting in the loss of many lives have been recorded this year alone. The situation is alarming and calls for concern by every well- meaning Nigerian,” he added.

Ortyom said Nigeria must make judicious use of the huge oil revenue by doing away with the most backward means of transporting petroleum products.

Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and representative of Acting Chief Judge of the Federation, Hon. Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, during the NBA 13th Annual Business Law Conference with the theme: “Growth, Investment and Employment: Beyond Rhetoric” at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger state says his administration will not initiate new projects until those initiated during his first tenure were completed.

Bello gave the assurance when he inspected ongoing projects at the state House of Assembly complex in Minna on Thursday.

The projects inspected by the governor are the expansion of the state House of Assembly, the House of Assembly Service Commission and a clinic in the legislators’ quarters.

The expansion consists of 30 new offices, a 300-seater capacity public hearing auditorium and eight committee rooms.

“We have decided to slow down our new projects to concentrate on existing ones. Our main priority now is to complete what we have started,” he said, adding that the projects in the assembly complex would create the enabling environment for the legislators to discharge their duties.

The governor therefore, tasked the legislators on maintenance culture and urged them to put the projects to good use when completed.

Pipeline fire kills 2, razes houses, vehicles in Lagos Court remands 3 employees for allegedly Two men were killed and over 20 vehicles, houses and property worth millions of naira were on Thursday burnt at Ijegun, in the Igando/Ikotun Local Council Development Area of Lagos state following an early morning pipeline explosion.

Despite the gallant efforts of fire fighters who responded promptly to put out the blaze, the fire which started at about 1.20 a.m. raged for over eight hours, consuming anything on its path.

Fire fighters from the Lagos state Fire Service arrived early to the scene at about 4:00 a.m. and had reinforcements from other stations in the metropolis, as well as emergency personnel from the Lagos state Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Affected by the fire are parts of the Ijegun Community Primary and High School, the Catholic Church fence and several other buildings.

According to dependable sources in the area, the explosion occurred following the activities of vandals who tried to escape with a tanker loaded with stolen petroleum products siphoned from the pipeline.

Nearby residents living several kilometres away from the fire point at the Isheri community and Kudeyibu Estate scampered from their homes in panic as the flames escalated and spread close to a petrol station in the area.

Security agencies in the state drafted their officers to the fire scene and nearby areas to assist in the evacuation of people from their homes.

Traditional ruler of Ijegun, Oba Nureni Akinremi, regretted that in spite of several efforts to orientate some miscreants in the community against pipeline vandalism, some have failed to heed such warnings and be law -abiding.

“I have made several efforts to speak with my people through my chiefs and community leaders, yet, some people have remained adamant. We really need to keep the security agents on regular surveillance in this area because it was the same area that was affected in a similar incident some 11 years ago,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, the fire has now been contained to the pipeline, even though thick and black smoke was still bellowing from some spots around the incident area.

kidnapping employer

An Ilorin Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded three employees, Jenmo Usman, Iliyasu Mohammed and Maude Yusuf for allegedly attempting to kidnap their employer, Sarafadeen Yusuf.

The defendants were brought before the court on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, criminal intimidation and attempted kidnapping.

Chief Magistrate, Ibijoke Olawoyin, ordered the defendants to be remanded at Oke-Kura Prison, Ilorin and adjourned the case till July 18 for further mention.

Police prosecutor, Al-Hassan Jubril informed the court that the suspects called the victim with their mobile phone and threatened him to pay N2 million, otherwise, he would be kidnapped or killed.

Al-Hassan said arrangement was made by the police to lay ambush for the suspects at an agreed point and that the suspects were arrested by the police on June 13 at the agreed point where they picked up a black polythene bag stuffed with stones and sticks, but which the suspects thought contained the ransom.

The police prosecutor said the alleged offences contravene Sections 2 and 3 of Kwara state Prohibition of Kidnapping Law, 2010 and Section 398 of the Penal Code and prayed the court to remand the defendants in prison custody pending the outcome of investigation.

However, when the charges were read out to them, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.

Customs seizes smuggled textile materials worth N11.2m Temitope Adebayo The Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone “A “of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), has intercepted 140 bundles of textile materials worth N11.2 million and other contraband in one month.

The Customs Area Controller, of the command, Comptroller Mohammed Aliyu, made the disclosure at a news briefing on Thursday in Lagos.

Aliyu said that a total of 25,153 bags of foreign parboiled rice smuggled into the country were also intercepted.

According to him, the textile materials, which worth over N11.2 million, were intercepted after being smuggled from neighbouring country.

He said that others intercepted goods were 49 cartons of reboiled paracetamol injection worth N39.2 million; 86 sacks of used shoes valued at N10.3 million and 820 sacks of donkey skins worth N78 million.

Aliyu further explained that 347 cartons of codeine syrup valued at N174 million; 1,000 sachets of tramadol also valued at N250,000, and Indian hemp worth N11 million were intercepted.

He also disclosed that the smuggled rice worth over N331 million intercepted would be given to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs’) following the directive from the Customs headquarters in Abuja.

Aliyu said that the unit intercepted a truck loaded with Cement and smuggled rice thereby contaminating the rice.

“The rice was loaded in the middle of the cement and this is what they sell to the innocent public.”

The Controller explained that the rice sent to IDP’s were always taken to the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to verify if they were fit for consumption before distributing to the IDPs. “We take this rice to NAFDAC for testing before we give it to orphanage homes. If they say it is not good for human consumption, we won’t give out but destroy. So, we don’t give expired rice to IDPs. “We sort out the most poisonous one while we give the good ones to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).”

The NCS said that 16 vehicles worth over N470 million were also intercepted in the months under review.

It is, however, worthy of note that the seized vehicles also include a Toyota Land Cruiser worth N189 million and 347 cartons of codeine syrup worth N174 million.

Other vehicles seized were Mitsubishi Pajero, Land Cruiser, Toyota Venza, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen and Toyota Yaris, among others.

The 16 vehicles worth over N347 million, with one bulletproof vehicle, were abandoned after heavy chase by our operatives along Oyo and Ogun border.

Aliyu said that the Federal Government ban on importation of used vehicles and foreign parboiled rice at the land borders still remain.

He also advised importers of these smuggled items to use the nation’s seaports so as to avoid their business from being ruined and pay duties accruable to the Federal Government.

Dangote Cement enriches 21m consumers through new promo Splashes N200m cash prizes, others, worth billions of Naira

Motolani Oseni In a move to empower millions of consumers of its products economically, Dangote Cement Plc on Thursday launched a jumbo consumer promo tagged “Dangote Cement Bag of Goodies”, which is designed to produce 21 million winners across the country.

The promo, which runs between July to September in which prizes worth billions of Naira would be won, was formally unveiled to the media at a news briefing in Lagos.

Lucky consumers are to win 43 cars, 24 tricycles, 24 motorcycles, 550 refrigerators, 400 television sets, 300,000 Dangote foods goodies packs and recharge cards for all networks worth N200, 000,000.00 While unveiling the promo, the Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement Plc, Engr. Joseph Makoju, who was represented by the Group Executive Director of Dangote Industries Limited, Knut Ulvmoen said the company decided to run the biggest promo ever in Nigeria as a way of contributing to the economic well-being of the consumers of its products given the prevailing economic situation.

He said the promo is to reward valued consumers for their unflinching partnership in ensuring that our range of cement products remains today the first choice for construction purposes across the country, and added that consumer promotion gives opportunities for existing and new consumers to get a step ahead of their struggle for economic emancipation by winning any of the give-away items which has economic value.

“We have made it so transparent that you don’t have to go through any raffle or draw associated with many other promotions in the country. You win instantly because what is revealed in the scratch card is what you win”, he stated.

Explaining why Dangote Cement launched such a humongous promo, Mr Knut explained that Dangote Cement is the largest in Africa with the largest production capacity and therefore decided to reward the consumers in the biggest way ever experienced in the country.

In her presentation on the promo, Dangote Cement Marketing Director, Mrs Funmi Sanni stated that “Consumers are at the heart of what we do; without them there is no business. Consumers are

important and a fundamental factor of production without which production process is incomplete and our ability to remain in business becomes impossible.

“To grow our business, we must constantly create value in terms of quality product and service, competitive pricing and depositing in consumers’ emotional bank accounts in order to become their preferred choice of brand at the point of purchase.”

The Marketing Director said as a business, the management of Dangote Cement recognizes the importance of every member of its value chain, distributors; wholesalers; and retailers, “and as such we have invested in growing their businesses through various empowerment schemes.”

According to her, the new Dangote cement promo bags have been shipped to all distributors and sellers nationwide and therefore there is no fear of scarcity of the new cement product.

She added that “every promo bag of cement contains a scratch cardcarrying winning items carefully inserted in each bag. Consumers need to be educated to scratch gently so as not invalidate their winning card.” She

disclosed that the promo cuts across all Dangote Cement’s brands which include 3X, Falcon and BlocMaster.

Mrs Sanni explained that the consumer promo was in line with the mission of the company which is to touch the lives of the people by providing their basic needs, and pointed out that the consumer promotion is another huge investment to help the customers improve their rate of sales and make more profit while at the same time improve the consumers’ quality of life. “We are doing this for the sake of our consumers who have not really benefit much from our previous promo.”

The promo was also endorsed by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission. The Deputy Director and Coordinator of the Lagos Liaison Office of the NLRC, Mrs Nkiru Onuzulu said the promo had been approved and registered with the Commission and can assure that it would be transparent, free and fair all through the processes.

“I can assure you that what you win is what you will get because we are monitoring and regulating the promo, and given the calibre of the company running this promo which is Dangote Cement, there won’t be an undercut.”

100% fruit juices good for recovering lost energy, nutrients –Expert Godwin Anyebe

NSE clears Airtel Africa for listing today As equities market capitalisation dips further by N33bn

Motolani Oseni The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has issued a waiver for Airtel Africa despite not meeting the shareholders’ requirement needed to list for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on Nigeria’s bourse, the listing which holds today July 5, 2019.

This is even as activities on the equities market sustained negative trend on Thursday with the market indicators dropping further by 0.26 per cent.

Airtel Africa had announced plans to list its shares on the stock exchange, but the company couldn’t gather the needed 300 shareholders mandatory for any company looking to list on NSE. Airtel was only able to pull 130 shareholders. This prompted the NSE to waive the requirement for the company.

While addressing issues relating to the waiver at a pre-listing media briefing yesterday, NSE said it believed Airtel Africa would eventually meet the requirement in

a stipulated the time which wasn’t made public.

Airtel had previously listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), closing its first day of trading in disappointment. The listing exercise was one of the worst debuts of stocks in international market this year, as the company’s share price slumped steeply by 16per cent on its first day of trading despite offering shares below its valuation.

The reason why Airtel Africa failed to meet shareholders’ requirement was linked to the company’s the route to market, which was targeting certain investors and limiting qualified investors to two category of investors.

During the media chat, NSE said Airtel Africa had met the free-floating requirement for crossborder secondary listing which was rated at 10 per cent, with the network operator accounting for 25per cent. But despite waiving Airtel Africa to list, NSE described the IPO as below listing standard (BLS).

Explaining why it gave Airtel the allclear, The NSE says its rule gives the stock exchange regulators the power to waive such requirement for a company that has the ability to meet up with the numbers in a certain period.

“As social investors begin to unburden what they have, we expect that the numbers will go up. When we look at the requirements for shareholders, we know that it’s something they can meet up within the nearest future.

So since our rules as approved by the SEC grant us the power to give such a waiver, we looked at it, there was no significant risk for not meeting those 300 for now, we decided to grant that waiver for now.”

However, the NSE disclosed that companies which do not eventually meet this requirement will be classified ‘below listing standard and a CSI code’ which is like the ‘buyer beware mark.’

Meanwhile, the All Share Index, which opened at 29,375.25, lost 75.16 points or

0.26 per cent to close at 29,300.09. Also, the market capitalisation of listed equities shed N33 billion or 0.26 per cent to close at N12.914 trillion against N12.947 trillion reported on Wednesday.

Analysts at Afrinvest Limited said they expected the bearish streak to be sustained in the absence of catalysts to stimulate investors’ sentiment.

Also, an analyst at Imperial Asset Managers Limited also expected the market to continue within the existing range today amid bargain hunting on low priced stocks.

An analysis of the price movement chart shows that NASCON led the gainers’ table, appreciating by 70k to close at N15 per share.

Cement Company of Northern Nigeria Plc followed with a gain of 50k to close at N15, while Dangote Sugar Refinery gained 45k to close at N11.45 per share.

Custodian and Investment also garnered close a N6.25, while Ecobank Transnational Incorporated increased by 40k to close at N10.40 per share.

Fashola calls for more local investments in gas business Michael Ajayi Former Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday, called for increased local investments in the gas business to realise its potential benefits to Nigeria.

Fashola made the call at the inauguration of an indigenous gas company, GASCO Marine Limited, located at Onijanganjangan community

in Abeokuta-North Council Area of Ogun.

He said the call became necessary to enable Nigerians to put gas into more productive uses and also help the country save billions of dollars often lost to fuel importation.

While appreciating the rising figure of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the country, the former minister specifically urged local businessmen to emulate the firm is investing in the business.

“We can continue to talk about gas flaring and carbon emissions and their negative impacts on the environment, but the situation will not change unless we do something about it”, he said.

Fashola, who commended the initiative, said such investment in gas would help the government in protecting the environment for future generations.

Stressing the advantages in the use of gas, Fashola said that “there is about 60

per cent cost saving in the deployment of gas as an alternative to inefficient and polluting diesel.”

He also emphasised the benefit of employment generation through the value chain of gas production, processing, storage and distribution.

The Managing Director of the firm, Mr Bukola Badejo-Okusanya, told newsmen after the event that more than N2 billion had been invested into the project as an initial outlay.

Talk360 partners Ding to establish footprint worldwide Ladesope Ladelokun Dutch technology startup, Talk360, has partnered with mobile top-up platform Ding, in a venture that will make the former available at thousands of retail stores worldwide.

The firm in a document sent to The Daily Times stated that an expansion of this size brings Talk360’s presence to over a million retail outlets in the world.

Hans Osnabrugge, CEO Talk360, stated:

“This is an important step for us in our goal to make relevant technology accessible to everyone. Customers all over the world can now top up Talk360 call credit online via Ding. com, and offline in the retail stores.”

To kick off the partnership with Ding, a significant marketing campaign went underway in Paris this week, launching over 300 retail shops. Each outlet advertised Talk360 by using the specially created Talk360 and Ding promotional material and street agents promoted awareness on the benefits

customers stand to gain from this partnership.

Declan Burke, Business Development Head, Ding, Europe & Africa: “Ding is about helping the diaspora to stay connected and support their families and this partnership represents an opportunity to do just that. The addition of Talk360 will help our customers to stay connected with family and friends when they are far from home, and we are happy to be part of the journey to help them do that.”

The partnership is the start of a global collaboration between two companies that

already have large footprints in the technology world.

“We believe that reliable communication and digital services should be affordable and accessible to everyone. By expanding the number of points of sale with Ding’s retail stores, our call-app will be accessible to a whole new group of people. From now on, that group will be able to use Talk360 to make international calls to stay in touch with family and friends all over the world”, Hans Osnabrugge said.

The Publicity Secretary of the Nutritional Society of Nigeria, Olusola Malomo, has urged Nigerians and especially religious adherents to explore the nutritional and health benefits of 100 per cent fruit juice to recover lost nutrients to a long period of fasting.

Malomo gave the advice in the first series of his engagement on the health and nutritional benefits of 100 per cent fruit juice, a monthly educative programme sponsored by Chi Limited, the parent company of Chivita, as part of its ‘no-added sugar’ campaign.

According to the sponsor, the engagement, which kicked off last year, is aimed at sharing unbiased information on the benefits of 100% fruit juice and support independent efforts by experts such as scientist, nutritionist, and dieticians to show how 100 per cent of fruit juice contributes to the health and well-being of consumers.

In the series titled 100 per cent Fruit Juice: a Healthy Way to Revitalize after Fasting, Malomo said fasting helps to relieve human system, adjusts fat level, strengthen the digestive system and increase its efficiency. He, however, regretted that many people lose the health benefits of the spiritual exercise when they take to junk food shortly after.

“They breakfasting with lavish, sweet and oily feasts. This increases cholesterol level and, perhaps, triggers diabetes. A few individuals, on the other hand, overstrain their systems, leading to a deficiency of vital nutrients.

These two contradictory challenges make post-fasting (in the case of the extended rite) a crucial moment,” he noted.

Malomo, a renowned dietician, said fruits and vegetable consumption remain the healthiest way to recover lost nutrients without compromising the benefits that associate with fasting.

He continued: “Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables helps to reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart diseases, high blood pressure and cancers because they contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which keep one healthy and energized.

“Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium and calories, and they have no cholesterols. The same is true with hygienicallypackaged fruit juices from reputable brands like Chivita, which contain a range of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and bioactive compounds such as phytochemicals. These are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed, including potassium, vitamin C and folate (folic acid).”

Why I’m best person to be next APC General Secretary – MB Mustapha Muhammad Bello Mustapha is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a former National Youth Leader of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the 2011 governorship candidate of the CPC in Taraba State. MB Mustapha has been a core supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari since 2003. In this interview with select journalists in Lagos, MB Mustapha, one of the top contenders for the position of the National Secretary of the APC in the party’s last convention gives reasons why he should be announced as the APC National Secretary. PATRICK OKOHUE who was there reports.

Why are you so much interested in the office of the national secretary of the APC? This is not the first time I have vied for that position. I have been contesting for the position right from when we started the process leading to the merger of the defunct parties which formed the APC. I am vying for the office because I possess the requisite experience needed to effectively and efficiently man it. I have what it takes to take the party to greater heights.

Also, I am a lawyer with more than 10years post-call to bar experience. I have been company secretary for different organisations and as lawyers we are trained to manage that office.

With all sense of modesty and responsibility, I believe that I have what it takes to bring everybody in the party together. I have a vision and a mission for the party which is to mend fences and reconcile aggrieved members of the party. I want to bring everybody together and make everyone have a considerable sense of belonging. I will ensure everybody is carried along, while supporting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, particularly the chairman so that together, we can move the party forward.

I also have a vision of a better party where justice, equity and fairness will reign. I can assure you that under my leadership as the national secretary, justice must be done to each and every member of the party. I am aware of the enormous task of bringing everyone together and I assure you that I am more than prepared for the task at this point in time.

For most contests in this country, there is usually a god-father who supports an aspirant.

Do you have one?

I have God; I do not have a god-father. I however have leaders that I respect and cherish; I see some of them as role models. When you talk about god-father, I have only God who gives power to whoever He wishes and I can assure you that I have been praying and God will give it to me with the support of the people.

Let me also use this opportunity to tell you that there was an agreement by the leaders of the party and I believe they will live above board. I believe they only need to be reminded about the promise they made to me and the people of my

M B Mustapha state at the last convention.

Like I said earlier, if you go back down memory lane, I had contested this same office and at each point, I was asked by the leaders of the party to step down which I always did graciously. This happened in 2014 and 2017 for the office of the national vice chairman, North East and in 2018 for the office of the national secretary. For three consecutive times I was asked to step down which I did with an understanding and an agreement which was anchored by the Asiwaju himself, Bola Tinubu -who has earned my tremendous respect over the years, that I was going to be adequately compensated and when it is time for Mai Mala Buni to go for the governorship of his state, I will automatically replace him.

Some names are already being peddled as likely replacements for the former secretary.

What stands you apart as the best choice for the party?

Yes, I contested with the likes of Waziri Bulama in the last convention but he stepped down in the afternoon. I stepped down later that evening, because we were six that bought the form at the last convention, and normally the party don’t entertain new entrants in cases like this, what they

I believe the leaders of the party will not fail my state and particularly me, because of the sacrifices I have made for the party. I think it will be just for Taraba to automatically occupy the position at this time, if justice must be seen to be done to us. Taraba State has been marginalised and abandoned, we have not been considered for federal appointments, we have no member of the NWC from our state up till now. The Youths are not being carried along as we are supposed to.

normally do is to go back to the last convention to see who was the runners up or those who bought the expression forms and qualified to replace or fill the vacant sit. With the rule in such cases, the first runner up automatically takes such positions and if the first runner up has exited the party, such individual will not be considered and the next line of action is for the party to give it to zone to decide who takes up the position.

But if the party have anything against you, like indulging in anti-party activities and such was proved beyond reasonable doubt that you are indeed guilty of the allegation that is when you may not get the position.

Besides being the first runner-up and the promise that I will be adequately compensated which I was not but have still remained loyal member of the party, I’m a party man to the core and I can proudly tell you that which can be seen from my service and track records to the party.

I served in the presidential campaign council in three different committees. I have served APC creditably well and I say that with all sense of modesty and I have paid my dues.

My state, Taraba has been grossly marginalised in the party. We have never had a shot at the membership of the NWC of the party, the state has no federal chief executive appointment and despite all these, we still remain loyal party men and women. Our performance in the last elections also speaks for itself. Juxtapose this with Borno State. Look at how many political office holders they have. Is it always about Borno and Yobe? Yobe got the Senate Presidency zoned to North East, Borno has just been appointed as GMD of NNPC, it is about the North-East because the position was zoned to the region and every other state has the right to participate because all other states have had the opportunity to take a shot at the NWC except Taraba which has never had one. So, I think it is only normal, credible, just and fair that the party considers the state.

I believe the leaders of the party will not fail

my state and particularly me, because of the sacrifices I have made for the party. I think it will be just for Taraba to automatically occupy the position at this time, if justice must be seen to be done to us. Taraba State has been marginalised and abandoned, we have not been considered for federal appointments, we have no member of the NWC from our state up till now. The Youths are not being carried along as we are supposed to.

Also I want to charge my party to advance youth participation in governance. It is time the youths take their rightful place in the scheme of things in this country. Don’t forget that we were the agents of this change we have today. Look at other advanced and industrialised nations of the world. You will see that it is young men that are governors and presidents.

At middle and late 40s you are still seen as a young man, which is fine. What then is the problem with allowing such young men to occupy sensitive positions like ministers and the likes? Don’t forget that the Not-Too-YoungTo-Run Bill has been passed into law. Therefore, it is better for the powers that be to encourage youth participation in governance. They cannot just come up in 2023, without the requisite experience, to say I want to be this or that. We have to get them involved now so that within the next two to three years, they will be familiar with the workings of government and governance.

All this has to be done because this is the party that wants to stand the test of time and continue to lead and provide quality governance. A lot of things have to be put into consideration even in appointments, because there are people who have paid their dues, all those who are yet to be considered have to be considered. It is time the party leaders look into this and consider their pledges.

If elected, what will be your strategy to ensuring that there is calm in the party especially when you consider the issues it has faced in recent times?

I will work with the national chairman in particular and the NWC in general to make sure that we reconcile aggrieved members of the party and mend fences. I have been in the opposition all my political life and so I am close to most of them. We will appeal to them to come back and those who are within the party that are not happy, we will find a way to appease them and carry everybody along. I think this is not a very difficult task.

I have a vision for the party, such that will take the party to greater heights. There are certain members that are aggrieved which we need to bring back on board and ensure the party continues to thrive on the path of progressiveness because we need to give everyone a sense of belonging, show and prove to them that they matter in order to get the best out of them for the success of the party in both national and regional fronts. With the zeal and intention that I have for the party, APC will continue to rule the country, because everybody will have a sense of belonging and the party will become one to beat because every politician will want to join us.

Health

Dawn of a new era as new heads of NHIS and NACA are appointed Professor Mohammed Nasir Sambo, the new Executive Secretary of NHIS is not new to the NHIS having spent many years of his early career years working there. He started as the Principal Manager, rising to the position of Assistant General Manager in the NHIS, and was the first Zonal Coordinator in the NHIS South West zonal office based in Lagos. He was seconded to the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) where he was the Assistant Director and Zonal Coordinator for the North West in 2000, based in Kaduna. He was then recalled to NHIS to set up the community health insurance programme. He left the NHIS in 2004 for academia, starting from the Department of Community Medicine at the Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital in Zaria, where he rose to the rank of Professor and

Head of Department. He was then called to be the Provost of the new Kaduna State University where he served until his recent appointment. the battles between the previous Executive Secretary, Professor Usman Yusuf, sections of the staff of the agency, Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs), the Minister of Health and finally with the Board of the agency.

A critical National Health Insurance Bill that would have repealed and replaced the National Health Insurance Scheme passed third reading at the Senate in April 2019, however by midnight on the 29th May 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari had not assented to the bill. One of the key amendments in the bill would have made health insurance compulsory in Nigeria. As a result of this setback, the process will have

to re-started by the 9th National Assembly with the new Senate Committee on Health.

Nigerians have argued for a long time that the dual functions of the NHIS, managing funds and regulating the health insurance sector should either be separated or at the very least sequestered in two parts of the organisation that are managed independently, without any undue influence on either side.

Resolving this issue will be critical to the success of Professor Sambo’s tenure in his new role. However, the rapid growth of State Health Insurance Schemes has been one of the bright lights in the sector, inspired by the introduction of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF), successfully implemented under the leadership of the Chairman, Senate Committee on Health and former Minister of Health.

Professor Sambo certainly has his work cut out for him; a review of some of his previous publications and lectures provides some insight into his thoughts on health financing. At a public lecture at the Bayero University Kano in 2017, he called an innovative approach termed “a basket collection”a financial contribution from philanthropists, individual savings accounts, where every salary earner contributes 4 percent of his/her salary to a healthcare fund.

At present, less than 1% of Nigerians are covered under the NHIS, even this figure is still an estimate and the true number is still unknown. This could be one of the key tasks that Prof. Sambo takes on when he starts his tenure as was done when the HIV prevalence rate was redefined. Now is the time to bring life back into one of the most challenged parastatals in the Nigerian health sector, but also one of the biggest opportunities to transform the health insurance market.

“The most important reform for the health insurance industry is TRANSPARENCY, supported by the adoption of technology for identification and validation of access to healthcare for patients. Standards for pricing and quality of care must be urgently defined for sustainability in the sector, so all parties - patients, providers and payers - are clear what to expect from health insurance” - Obinnia Abajue, Chief Executive Officer, Hygeia HMO Limited.

As if to pre-test the leadership and scientific skills that would be required for his new appointment as the Director General of NACA, Dr Gambo Aliyu successfully led the implementation team of the Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS), the largest population-based single country HIV prevalence survey in the world, delivered in Nigeria in February 2019.

Dr Gambo Aliyu is a graduate of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria

where he obtained his MBBS in 1995 and finally a Postdoctoral in PharmacoEpidemiology from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada in 2015. He returned to Nigeria in 2017, working as a Research Associate at the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), the institution selected to lead the $100 million NAIIS to measure the reach and impact of HIV programs in Nigeria. The landmark study, completed in a record 9 months showed that the HIV prevalence is 1.5% among people aged 15-64 years old. The result of the survey has also redefined the HIV epidemic in Nigeria and will shape its response into the future. Dr Gambo Aliyu will have to forge new alliances, try new approaches and strengthen strategies to reduce the burden of HIV in Nigeria, among our growing population.

In addition to his recent engagement as part of the NAIIS team, Dr Gambo Aliyu has a long history of engagement with HIV prevention in Nigeria, conducting research on critical issues that confront the HIV epidemic, from counselling and testing of hard to reach populations, through vaccine trial preparedness to the impact of acutely infected patients on transmission. This level of depth of understanding of the complexity of the HIV epidemic in Nigeria, puts Dr Gambo Aliyu in a strong position to carry on with the great work started by Dr Sani Aliyu, the previous Director General of NACA. Since the first AIDS cases were diagnosed in 1985, this led to a flury of activity in Nigeria. The first decade of the HIV response was marked by initial hopefulness for a vaccine that never came. This was followed by despair due to the non-availability and high cost of treatment for millions of patients in African countries. The denial of HIV by governments in African countries had exacerbated access to treatment at the time. The turning point was the

XIII International AIDS Conference, held in Durban in 2000, helped by a strong turnout of activists who drove home the issue of the glaring inequality in access to HIV treatment.Following the global push for more access to lifesaving antiretroviral therapy (ART), Nigeria was one of the first countries to order ARTs for 10,000 adults and 5,000 children in 2001.

Nigeria continues to face unique challenges that amplify the risks of HIV. We have a large and rapidly growing population, while at the same time facing serious challenges in financing our current healthcare needs.

This means that despite the lower HIV prevalence figures, the absolute number of those infected and who require treatment is still very high. Our large young population and challenging socio-economic indicators mean that things can get worse very quickly. The NAIIS results also showed that the epidemic is very diverse and complex, with some parts of the country affected more than others and so impacting the requirements of the differentiated response rates.

Why are all these issues important?

Leadership of the NHIS and NACA will not only require health financing and scientific leadership, but will also require a clear understanding of the political economy of global health, as well as advocacy at the grassroots to drive change. However, one of the most important attributes that will be needed by both leaders as they take up their new positions, at the helm of the NHIS and NACA will be compassion for the people they have been called to serve – we the Nigerianpeople. They will also need a resilient “can-do” attitude that is anchored on a spirit of collaboration with all stakeholders in the health sector.

The team at Nigeria Health Watch wish them well and we look forward to seeing them deliver on their mandates for the Nigerian health sector.

FG inaugurates committee to situations ‘Not enough Nigerians have access to healthcare’ tackle disaster management of Human Remains Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

The Federal Government has inaugurated a committee for the production of Policy documents on the Management of Human Remains in disaster situations.

The committee would harness all available resources towards ensuring a concise document for smooth implementation of the policy for the management of Human remains in emergency and disaster situations in Nigeria.

Speaking during the inauguration, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mr. Abdulaziz Mashi Abdullahi, said that management of the dead in mass casualty requires preservation of the dignity of the deceased as they cannot speak to demand justice for themselves. ‘’ the greatest respect that is owed to the dead is a befitting burial, appropriate preservation when necessary, identification of cause and pattern of death for forensic evidence to enable preventive intervention to forestall such deaths in the living’’ ‘’ Management of the dead in mass casualty requires preservation of the dignity of the deceased as they cannot speak to demand justice for themselves, therefore ,it is imperative that bodies/body parts should be treated with respect and afforded dignity at all times, he stressed.

He pointed out that ‘’ management of the body/body parts in cases of mass casualty can be daunting as emphases are often directed to the living with neglect of the dead’’ To this end, the Perm Secretary spelt out the Goals of the committee to include:

in Emergency and Disaster situations in Nigeria, indicate clear responsibility of Forensic Laboratory Services and Management of Human Remains in Nigeria.

The other goals include: regulation and implementation of forensic laboratory services in Nigeria, to bring together a coordinated approach for stakeholders on management of human remains in Nigeria, the policy to serve as a national policy guide for the management of human remains and forensic services and the Draft policy document that will be submitted to the Minister of Health for approval and further recommendation to the National Council on Health.

Abdullahi lauded the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) for its efforts towards providing technical and financial support and ensuring that the project came to reality.

In her opening remarks, the Head, Teaching Hospital Division, Dr. Ngozi Onwudiwe, said that ‘’ this inauguration is long overdue and it is incumbent on us to collaborate with relevant stakeholders towards an efficient and effective service delivery in the Health Sector’’ She added that ‘’ the ministry has a great leadership role in the handling of human remains and need to concentrate their resources on the management of bodies and body parts especially during mass casualty’’ In her remarks, the Forensic Specialist, International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC), Dr.Elif Gunce Eskikoy, pledged continuous collaboration and Technical Support towards improving management of Human Remains in Nigeria.

“I can report that at least 24 states have been able to do this; they have access their funds in full.

“We are therefore encouraging the other remaining states to ensure that they do the needful by submitting the relevant plans because we don’t want you to throw money at problems,“ he said.

He said that in recognition of the key role of education to deliver on SDG4, the Education for Change, Ministerial Strategic Plan (MSP) was poised for social, economic, scientific and technological development.

He noted that the MSP was in line with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) which touches among other things: out-of-school

Ruga settlements delivered by ‘Nigeria Air’

Sports FRIDAY, JULY 5, 2019

VOL. 3

NO. 983

N100

Times Guest Columnist By ‘Tope Oriola

The Nigerian polity has been on analytical overdrive on the issue of settlement of herders since January 2018 when Audu Ogbe, the minister of agriculture and rural development, announced a policy to carve out “cattle colonies” in 16 states. Governors of states such as Kogi and Plateau, who had initially expressed interest pulled out as the social and political toxicity of the idea became clear.

Six months later, Hadi Sirika, minister of state for aviation, announced plans to establish a new national airline “Nigeria Air” at the Farnborough Airshow in London.A new logo, slogan and publicity video were on display. There have been lots of criticisms over the quality of the presentation and logo as well as how much they cost but those are not my preoccupation. Fast forward to June 2019, the government rebranded cattle colonies as “Ruga settlements” and moved with military panache.

The two programs were dead on arrival. The identical fates of Nigeria Air and cattle colonies (aka ruga settlements) are metaphors for and embodiments of the struggles of the Buhari administration to craft, communicate and implement policies. The botched policies have commonalities that should be noted by policy-makers.

Inadequate public and stakeholder consultation Nigeria Air was “suspended” in March 2019 for “strategic reasons”, according to Sirika. The reasons included the need for viability funding, private-public partnership, and plans for implementation, among others. In other words, the minister admitted in a roundabout way they had neither fully thought through nor consulted appropriate stakeholders before the official unveiling of plans for the national airline. Plans for cattle colonies were suspended following public criticisms and the quick retreat of governors who had initially supported the plans. The do-over in the form of ruga settlements also lacked any painstaking process. The official announcement noted disjuncture between the ruga settlement plans and the national livestock transformation plan.

The two botched ideas embody the need for more rigour in government.

The two ministries — aviation and agriculture — did not approach the exercise with the level of thoroughness, thoughtfulness and seriousness it deserved. One example from another context may suffice.

My almamata, the University of Manitoba, Canada recently consulted over 7,000 persons—students, professors, and alumni among others over a serious matter. What serious matter would warrant consulting 7,000 persons? Wait for it: A new logo for the university! The university realized it needed to mobilize and involve everyone who was part of the fabric of the institution to promote inclusion and ensure a collaborative, consensual and respectful process and outcome.

All voices were heard and the product was the culmination of the efforts of

those who had a stake in the past, present and future of the university.

No one could claim exclusion from the process. If a university with approximately 30,000 students could consult so widely in order to arrive at a new logo, a government serving over 180,000 million people ought to do a better job on such an important matter.

Inadequate brainpower I do not believe you need to abuse someone or a government in order to offer constructive criticism. I have maintained since August 2015 that President Muhammadu Buhari needs to improve the intellectual depth of his inner circle. One main lesson from the two ill-conceived policies is that the president needs to increase the quality and breadth of counsel that he receives and diversity of his inner circle.The idea of launching Nigeria Air in London was bonkers given our history with colonialism and the continued subjugation of our people by forces of imperialism. The pride of many Nigerians was hurt by the location of the announcement (despite legitimate arguments that could be made about the global audience). In addition, the president and his advisers underestimated how unpopular the cattle colony idea was.

Those who led the efforts based their strategies and permutations on nonexistent data. The frustration with the herders is real. To be clear, some of the anger and frustrations against ruga settlements are borne out of ethnic bigotry and nativist pride but others are sincere concerns of citizens particularly because of the disregard for human lives by some of the Fulani herders implicated in killings and kidnappings across Nigeria.

The crude and unscientific nature of the process grossly misunderstood the complexities of our political environment, the waning political capital of the administration, its entrenched perception as a nepotic government and the messiness of democracy.

Timing Timing is everything in politics.

Like individuals, societies have moods. You do not read poetry to your hungry neighbour. The Nigeria Air project demonstrated misplacement of priority. The average Nigerian was not convinced that a national airline was the most important item in 2018.

Conversely, the cattle colony idea was a tone-deaf reaction to the mood of Nigerians. The idea of a colony for herders at a time of unprecedented national division and ethnic chauvinism was against common sense and nous of statecraft. It was a hot political issue and in receding the policy, the government inadvertently acknowledged that the timing was wrong and the idea needed further consideration and consultation.

Naming and branding Public communication is a delicate art and complicated science.Names matter. Nomenclatures are critical.

There are US polls on divergent public reactions to “inheritance tax” and “death tax” even though they refer to the same thing.The initial christening

of the program as “cattle colony” was not a smart idea. Whoever came up with the name did President Buhari’s government a huge disservice and is advised (with all due respect) to try to read a book once in a while.

My point is that you do not name an area within a federation a “colony” in a society whose unity has always been a major issue. The term “ruga” is also arguably problematic. A July 2 2019 article in the Vanguard newspaper noted that the term “is the crudest assault on inclusivity in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria… The in-your-face attitude in coming up with this concept is a summation of all that is wrong with Nigeria…under this administration.”

If you pardon the hyperbolic inflection in the quoted statement, you are left with a slice of reality that policymakers seemed to have missed. The names given to the program reflect the monolithic and non-diverse nature of key decision-makers. A diverse collection of bureaucrats or political appointees debating the policy would have concluded that each of those names was not appropriate and would generate opposition. If the team that made the policy was indeed diverse, then attention has to turn to whether or they felt they could express their true opinions without retaliation.

Poor collaboration in government Various units and departments of governments even in the most advanced democracies are territorial by nature and have a degree of inherent inertia. One unit often has no clue what the other is doing. This was one of the realizations of the US government following September 11 2001. They realized that each intelligence/ security service simply did its thing and rarely shared information with others. The Department of Homeland Security was created in November 2002 to bridge that gap. It appears that Nigeria’s vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, was blindsided by some of the claims of those attempting to sell the idea of ruga settlements. Osinbajo’s office clarified that the vice president was not supervising ruga settlement plans and that the national livestock transformation plan was different from ruga. In reality, both policies are similar though not identical. I doubt that those who planned ruga settlements interacted with those in charge of the livestock transformation plan.

Overall, the government is in a delicate position. One approach is to view opposition to ruga settlements as simply “bad belle” and disdain for Fulanis. Another approach is to engage in serious reflection on the actions and inaction of the government. Did the government have a right to remain silent following wanton killings by herders? What compensations are being provided to farmers who lost their livelihood because of destruction of their farms by cattle or entire communities by herders? How can we foster national unity in an impartial way?How do we compensate for losses on both sides? How do we assure citizens that ruga settlements are not intended for ethnic domination? There are no easy answers.
