Joseph inokotong, Abuja Tongues are wagging over what became of the $195 million dollars two-year Maritime Security Contract awarded to an Israeli company, HSLi Systems and Technology Ltd around October 30, 2017.

The contract was for the training of the nation’s security agencies to regain full control of the waterways from pirates and people engaged in illegal bunkering.

Concerns mount over $195m security contract to HSLi Continued from page 1

Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi.

Another curious aspect of the scandal is the allegation that the beneficiary of the contract and the $50m mobilisation is a staunch supporter of the All Progressives Congress (?APC) and its presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, the reason according to our sources why he has not been arrested or asked to refund the money.

Speaking at the International World Maritime Day in 2017, the Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, confirmed existence of the contract but did not disclose full identity of the implementing company (HLSi), the exact equipment to be supplied, and how the Navy, which is responsible for securing Nigeria’s waterways, would participate.

According to investigations, $50 million was already paid to HLSi in advance, but the extent of implementation of the contract has remained hazy up till now.

There is also unconfirmed allegation that the advance payment to HLSI has been diverted to finance President Buhari’s election campaign which the minister has denied through an aide who pleaded not to be mentioned because he was not authorised to speak on the matter.

He, however, described the allegations as “concoctions of deranged individuals from the pit of hell”.

The president recently emphasised that he will not use public funds on his re-election campaigns.

However, investigations on HSLi showed that it is owned

by Israeli-based Mitrelli Group and part of Mitrelli’s security branch, and was initially known as the LR Group, established in 1985 by three Israeli Air Force pilots who became billionaires due to a lengthy list of deals in Angola and other countries

around the world.

LR Group was contracted in Rivers State on March 2012, by Amaechi, then governor of the state, to handle approved Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) jobs on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis to develop a $140 million dollars 3,000-hectare farm settlement in Etche. The PPP is yet to see the light of the day up till now.

Consequently, on October 2015, a Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the sale of state assets in Rivers State during Amaechi’s tenure recommended the prosecution of Amaechi and some others over alleged misappropriation of over N97 billion in the alleged sale of the state assets.

On the other hand, some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) equally petitioned the Speaker of the House of Representatives regarding the HLSi deal.

The petition, signed by ten CSOs and dated November 14, 2017, was entitled the ‘Petition on the Ceding of Nigerian Coastal Waterways to HLSi Security Firms and Technologies and Commercialization of the Nigerian Navy to Shorefac Consortium Ltd. They insisted the contract would negatively affect Nigeria’s sovereignty.

On December 8, 2017, the House Committee on Public Petitions, Hon. Uzoma Abonta, started inquiries involving the Navy, Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Federal Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Defence, and other stakeholders by his committee.

Amaechi, and the DirectorGeneral of NIMASA, Dakuku Peterside, were present at some of the public hearings, at the end of which the House concluded that the contract violated appropriation laws, adding that HLSi was not a registered company in Israel.

On January 2018, the leadership of the Ship Owners Association of Nigeria (SOAN)

disagreed on the viability of the $195 million maritime security contract awarded to HLSi. President of SOAN, Engr.

Greg Ogbeifun, stated that the maritime security contract signed with HSLI goes against the nation’s local content policy.

Curiously, sometime in May last year, President Buhari terminated the $195 million security contract without taking any further action on the fraud associated with the contract or monies paid to the blacklisted contractor.

In a memo dispatched by the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, he directed the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), to terminate the contract.

The President also ordered the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA) to investigate how the contractor obtained security clearance for the job without an end-user certificate.

Calls put through to Amaechi were not picked at the time of this report.

His Special Assistant (Media Matters), Mr. Eddy Iyofor, who accepted to get in touch with the minister on these allegations and get back to our reporter before press time, failed to keep to his word.

He said: “Editor, you should have called the minister by yourself. However, I will call him and get feedback on the issues in a short while”.

However, another SA to the Minister who prefers anonymity said the Minister was only being blackmailed because he is the Directorgeneral of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

“These are antics of people from the pit of hell. They are even making references to what happened when he (Amaechi) was governor so as to blackmail him. Those things are untrue.

You can take it to the bank from me,” he stated.

Slow justice system affecting anti-graft war – Buhari

Taraba monarchs seek Presidential pardon for ex-Gov Nyame

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed worry that the task of fighting corruption and dismantling its fangs completely was a herculean exercise owing largely to the slow pace of the country’s judicial system.

Buhari said it is challenging given the focus of his administration to wrestle graft to a standstill in the country.

He expressed this concern on Thursday in Jalingo, while addressing traditional rulers before he proceeded to the Jolly Nyame Stadium, venue of his Presidential campaign rally in Taraba State on Thursday.

The President, who was received earlier on arrival along with his entourage at the Danbaba Suntai Airport

by Governor Dairus Ishaku, was reacting to an appeal by the monarchs to facilitate the

release of the convicted former Taraba State Governor, Rev. Jolly Nyame, on corruption charges.

In his remarks, the Emir of Muri, Abbas Tafida, who represented the Chairman of the traditional Council in Taraba State, Shekaro Angyu Masaibi, had sought President Buhari’s intervention for the release of Rev. Nyame on compassionate ground having demonstrated remorse while in detention.

Applauding President Buhari’s leadership role which he noted was characterised by selflessness and commitment to rid the nation of graft, the monarch said the nation was in dire need of people who are out to make sacrifices for the citizens, and called on Nigerians to consider the president as God’s gift to the country.

“As a father, I want to make one plea with you and I ask you to be patient. Our former Governor, Reverend Jolly Nyame is convicted of criminal acts and is

now in prison. I acknowledge and accept the action of our judiciary.

“I acknowledge and accept the need to correct this country by taking punitive measures on anybody who violates the law for his selfish purpose. But as a father, Mr. President sir, I want to say I have seen him and I have known that he has regretted his actions. I have seen him and have accepted that he has seen a lot of corrections, and as a father I cannot hide my innate sympathy.

“I will therefore, not now, but at the right time and I say it for all to hear, come with a delegation to plead for your mercy at the right time in the right manner and in consideration of the overall national interest.

“We are not going to ask you to do anything out of the way.

And we are not going to change your policy of correcting Nigeria.

Nigeria must be corrected and must be corrected now and you

Finally, ASUU suspends 3-month-old strike Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

Finally, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government came to a compromise on Thursday, resulting in the suspension of the strike embarked upon since November 2018.

This is coming three months after the union downed tools, crippling all activities in government- owned universities across the country.

ASUU, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Sunny Echonu, former ASUU Presidents, Issa Fagge, Dr. Dipo Fashina, and Prof.

Sule Kano came to the decision after a prolonged meeting, which held at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Abuja.

Ngige, who read the agreement signed by both parties, expressed optimism that the strike would be suspended.

He said: “This is going to be a conclusive meeting and conciliatory meeting between Federal Government and ASUU. “This dispute culminated into a strike

that started on the 5th of November, 2018”.

According to him, the parties unanimously resolved about 8 issues which necessitated the strike, noting that of the NUMPENCO has been resolved as ASUU had collected the licence on the 28th January, 2019.

He added that the visitation panel has also been instituted and will commence work on 2nd March with a view to sanitising the tertiary institutions.

This, according to him, was in tandem with anti-corruption campaign of the government.

On Earned Allowances, Federal Government said it released the sum of N20 billion to all categories of staff in the university system but that it was shoring it up with additional N5 billion for payment of Earned Allowances and others.

“The sum of N25 billion is to be released as Revitalisation Fund between April and May 2019 while we resume full implementation of the MoU signed since 2009.

On the reconstitution of the Federal Government negotiation team, he noted that none of the parties can dictate who to represent the interest of either parties.

However, it was agreed that

Government’s team should reconvene not later than Monday, 9th March and conclude its work on or before 29th March, 2019.

To this end, he observed that ASUU has resolved to brief respective organs with the view to suspend the strike.

On his part, Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President said: “Finally, we have come up with a document which we have signed on behalf of our members.

“Our members are waiting and you will hear from us later today (Thursday),” he said.

ASUU thereafter proceeded to the premises of the Nigeria Labour Congress, where it announced the suspension of the strike.

In doing so, Ogunyemi said: “Based on the initial proposals from government, the union consultations through its various organs.

“The final level of consultations was the meeting of the National Executive Council which took place 6 to 7th February 2019.

“NEC resolved that following a careful review of the report of engagements with the Federal Government on proposals for addressing all outstanding in the 2013 MoU and 2017 MoA, NEC resolved that the current strike action by the union

Polls: Don’t set Nigeria on fire, Jonathan tells politicians

Urges them to put interest of the nation above their personal ambitions Make 2019 elections most peaceful, Abdulsalam urges politicians

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, urged political actors to avoid setting the nation on fire as Nigerians go to the polls next week.

He said politicians and office seekers should put the interest of the nation above their personal ambitions while he warned that without peace, they cannot achieve personal ambitions while meaningful national development will be a mirage.

The former president gave the charge in Abuja at one day peace conference organised by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation.

Emphasising the need for violencefree elections, he warned of dire implications for the Africa sub-region should the elections go wrong.

Speaking on the theme: “Peaceful elections and national development,” Jonathan also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to be professional in the discharge of their responsibilities before, during and after the elections.

“For democracy to endure and be productive on the continent, African politicians and other stakeholders must realise that true heroes of leadership are not those whose desperation to impose their will endangers society, but those who have the humility to subjugate their personal ambitions to the collective interest of their nations.

“Our political leaders must realise that the greatest and most enduring legacy to leave behind is that of peace and development.

“We are convinced that any one, either in government or outside government, who truly loves Nigeria, will not want to play the role of the villain by lending his support to any action that instigates crises,” he said, adding that “There is no gainsaying that when politicians resort to desperate measures in the bid to occupy important political positions, they run the risk of plunging their countries into serious crises that often lead to loss of lives, degradation of values as well as destruction of private and public assets.”

Although democracy is taking firm root in the continent, Jonathan counselled leaders to remember that failure to make the democratic process peaceful always makes growth difficult to attain.

“We know that good governance is the fertile ground upon which peace and sustainable economic growth are planted. In this regard, it is important to point out that in a democracy, periodic, credible and peaceful elections are the necessary gateways to improved governance and people-oriented development.

“It is on record that despite the marked improvement on the regularity and number of democratic nations, election-related violence has continued to be experienced in many African nations, often to the detriment of peaceful co-existence, economic growth and sustainable development.

“Although it is reassuring to note that democracy is being consolidated on the continent, with elections now conducted routinely by many African nations, it is however difficult to express such optimism on the peaceful nature of the electoral processes,” he added.

He said that as part of his commitment to deepening democracy in Nigeria and the African continent, the Jonathan Foundation would continue to explore avenues to encourage African leaders on the virtues of service and sacrifice.

Chairman of the National Peace Committee and former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), urged the nation’s leaders to imbibe the lessons of 2015, stressing that while the enemies of Nigeria predicted doom, the nation disappointed them by conducting a transparent election that ushered in the incumbent government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We all recall the tension in Nigeria during the 2015 elections where the doomsayers were predicting the balkanization of Nigeria but thank God through the action of Nigerians and the then President, Goodluck Jonathan, they were proved wrong because the gentleman kept his word that his Presidency was not worth the blood of any Nigerian and he graciously conceded

defeat at that election,” he noted.

While adding that electoral violence has often characterised the nation’s political process, he said effort must be made to make the 2019 polls the most peaceful in the history of the nation.

Special Guest of Honour and former President of Liberia, Professor Amos Sawyer, in what appeared a veiled reference to Governor Nasir elRufai’s remark earlier in the week, said Nigerians must not see the presence of world leaders in the country as an intrusion, saying elections in Africa’s most populous nation means a whole lot to the West African sub region.

“Nigeria’s role in West Africa makes election in this country very critical. So elections in Nigeria cannot be seen solely as a Nigeria’s affairs,” he said, adding that the trouble currently rattling the nation’s judiciary should be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the law.

He continued: “Nigerian judiciary has been in the news for quite sometimes now in a manner that is of deep concern.

It is our hope that the issues involved are resolved in a manner that will leave the integrity of the judiciary intact.”

Lead speaker and Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, who spoke on “Electoral Violence in Nigeria: Causes, Consequences and Options for Prevention,” harped on the need to provide services, arguing that violence is nothing but a reflection of deep frustration in the society.

Dignitaries present at the event included the Special Representatives of the United Nations Secretary General for West Africa and the Sahel, Mohammed Ibn Chambas, the Liberian Ambassador to Nigeria, Professor Al-Hassan Conteh, former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, erstwhile Adamawa State governor, Boni Haruna and former Defence Minister, Bello Haliru.

Others included wife of President Jonathan, Patience, ex-Chief of Staff to President Jonathan and former Edo State Deputy Governor, Mike Oghiadomhe, a one-time Minister of state (Finance), Bashir Yuguda, and popular entertainer cum activist, Charles Oputa (Charly Boy) among others.

L-R: Minister of Labour and Productivity Dr. Chris Ngige and ASUU President, Issa Fagge after the meeting should be suspended conditionally with effect from 12.01 am on Friday, 8th February, 2019.

“However, should government fail to fulfill its part of the agreement as reflected in the 2019 Memorandum of Action, ASUU shall resume its suspended strike action as the union deems necessary”.

It would be recalled that ASUU and government had locked horns over issues relating to staff welfare, including the implementation of the needs assessment programme carried out in all public universities since 2009, the university revitalisation fund as well as earned allowances.

During the last meeting between both parties, ASUU was expected to give

feedback to the government team after Ngige announced some concessions from the government side.

But after consulting with its NEC, they continued the strike, throwing the university system into further crisis.

While the meeting lasted, leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) staged a protest calling on the parties to suspend the strike in the interest of the country.

Meanwhile, cross section of parents and other stakeholders, including students have welcomed the suspension of the three-months-old strike, calling on the Federal Government to do all within its powers to keep its part of the agreement which led to the suspension of the strike by ASUU.

Elections: Military reads riot act to personnel, civilians Andrew Orolua, and Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), on Thursday, warned that “with the exception of those on essential duties, no military personnel should be found wearing uniform on the elections’ days, adding that those who flaunted the order will face the wrath of full military justice system.

The DHQ also warned that “any civilian caught in military uniform will be treated as a terrorist,” saying that already the military is inundated with the allegations of illegal importation of military equipment and uniforms into the country which is being investigated.

This is just as the Military reaffirmed its neutrality, impartiality and strict adherence to professional code of conduct before, during and after the general election.

The Acting Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brigadier General John Agim, stated gave the warning at press conference in Abuja while stating the role of military during and after the forthcoming general election.

Brigadier-General Agim said that the military will perform its constitutional duties and it has nothing to do with the conduct of elections.

He said: “We would like to reiterate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria will carry out its constitutional duties with zero tolerance to unprofessional conduct. No military personnel are expected to fraternise with any political parties and associations.”

Agim, who was flanked by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman and his Nigerian Navy counterpart, Commodore Dahun and a representative of the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigeria Air Force, maintained that no military personnel in uniform should be found at polling booths.

He acknowledged that “military personnel have the right to perform their civic duty to vote as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, adding that “they must approach their polling units in mufti, devoid of any military accoutrement”.

He said that “any military personnel who is not on essential duty that is found on military uniform on Election Day will be arrested and face the full wrath of military justice system.”

“Let me emphatically state that the Defence Headquarters has warned that all Officers, Soldiers, Ratings, Airmen and Women of the Nigerian Armed Forces must remain neutral and exhibit exceptional professionalism before, during and after the upcoming

elections. “ The Defence Headquarters said that the ongoing Exercise Egwu Eke III (Exercise Python Dance III) and other similar exercises in various parts of the nation are not targeted at any particular set of people or groups nor is it aimed at manipulating the electoral process.

“The exercises are to ensure that all eligible citizens, irrespective of their religion or political inclinations, are given the opportunity to carry out their civic right to vote and be voted for in a peaceful environment devoid of violence and intimidation by criminal elements”, he assured.

He said that the exercises became necessary in view of threats from some unpatriotic individuals and dissident groups to stop people in some parts of the country from casting their votes on election days.

“Let the public be re-assured that no persons or group of person have the right to deny or intimidate eligible voters from performing their constitutional obligations.

“Therefore, all efforts of the military are to assist other security agencies to ensure that no Nigerian is disenfranchised,” he said.

The Defence Headquarters warned all, including “persons or group of persons that tries to constitute themselves into nuisance and disturb public peace on election days.

According to DDI, anyone found disrupting public peace will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the land.

He said that all military Commanders have been tasked to ensure adequate security in their Areas of Responsibility.

They have also been further directed to ensure the adherence to code of conduct and rules of engagement in the discharge of their duties.

These assigned tasks include arrest of anyone in military uniform who is not on essential duty on election days.

“Likewise, any civilian caught in military uniform will be treated as a terrorist”, he reiterated.

“Similarly, there is credible intelligence report that some people are planning to scuttle free and fair election in some parts of the country,” he added.

The Defence Headquarters warned such group of people to desist from such unpatriotic act. It cautioned that anyone caught, be they serving or retired military personnel, or civilians, no matter how highly placed will be arrested and treated in accordance with the extant laws of the land.

FG launches citizens’ support campaign for the military

Says international terror groups helping Boko Haram to wage insurgency

Bonaventure Melah The Federal Government of Nigeria on Thursday solicited the support of its citizens for soldiers fighting insurgency in the North East as well as the entire military for its decades- long efforts and sacrifices to safeguard the nation and its territorial integrity.

At the formal launching of a national campaign in support of the military which took place on Thursday at the National Press Centre, Abuja, Information Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said it has become imperative to mobilise well-meaning and patriotic citizens to show appreciation, love and support for the military, adding that the soldier out in the battlefield is a first a human being and also relative to someone.

The Minister, who was flanked by senior military officers from the army, the navy and the air force among others, also stated that aside from Boko Haram which has been waging war against the country for years now, some international terror groups dislodged in the countries like Libya and Syria are moving towards Africa with Nigeria as a centre of focus.

“Recall that on January 8th 2019, we announced that we would soon launch a campaign to seek the support of the citizens for our troops, especially in the fight against insurgency. Today marks the fulfilment of that promise as we are here to formally launch the National Campaign in Support of the Military. It is a followup to the hugely-successful National Campaign Against Insecurity which we launched on February 16th, 2016, with the punch-line: ‘’If you see something, say something,’ the minister said, and went on to explain the reasons behind the campaign.

“Because we believe that the

men and women in uniform who are risking all, including making the supreme sacrifice, to keep us safe deserve the support and prayers of all Nigerians, not vilification, insults and other acts that are capable of dampening their morale. And why are we launching the campaign now?

Because, as our gallant men and women in uniform clear the remnants of the home-grown insurgency called Boko Haram, they are confronting a fresh crisis, a global insurgency.

“A faction of Boko Haram has aligned with the global terror group, ISIS, to form ISWAP, the Islamic State’s West African Province. In other words, ISIS now has a strong foothold in West Africa - with Nigeria in the forefront of the battle against them. With ISIS largely dislodged from Iraq and Syria, there is undoubtedly, a flush of fresh fighters and weapons to ISWAP. Therefore, our military is fighting a global insurgency, without the kind of global coalition, including the United States that battled ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Those who do not understand the fresh threat facing our nation nor appreciate the sacrifice of our troops, have now made it their past-time to wage a campaign of disinformation against the military, especially in the social media. Doctored videos and pictures purporting to show massive military casualties are wilfully circulated online. Such unpatriotic acts are discouraging and demoralizing our troops, and must stop forthwith.

“Let me state that those who engage in this act of disinformation are few, and do not represent the majority of Nigerians who appreciate the patriotism and the sacrifice of our gallant troops. That’s why we are launching this campaign, to mobilise the majority of the good people of Nigerians, irrespective of their political,

Mohammed religious or ethnic leanings, to show support for our military.

It is high time that everybody joined in supporting this global war (against insurgency). It’s not unusual, as a matter of fact it’s usually the practice, that when a country is faced with this kind of challenge, people will sink their differences and work together,” the Minister stated.

On strategies to get the people to key into the campaign, Lai Mohammed said multi-faceted approach would be applied to include the production and airing of special jingles on radio and television, social media intervention and advocacy.

“In fact, the jingles are ready, and will be airing on radio and television starting this week. Also, the materials for newspaper and social media are also ready.

“We also want to enlist the support of the media for this campaign. The media should indeed play the lead role in the campaign. We are happy to note that some television stations have already started airing their self-produced TVCs in support of the military. We thank them for this and we urge others to join them.

“We also want to appeal to the media to show utmost professionalism in reporting the insurgency. They must seek official clarification before reporting casualty figures, and must realise that the military will not release the identities of soldiers who have paid the ultimate price without first notifying their families. They must also not reveal national security as well as military plans, since such acts can put our troops in harm’s way.”

While answering questions from journalists, the Minister said the campaign message is being interpreted in various Nigerian languages in order to reach all citizens, no matter their level of education.

Among those at the event were senior military officers including the Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. John Agim, Director of Public Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, Director Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman (who retired from service on Thursday) and the Director Information, Nigerian Navy, Commodore Sulaiman Dahun.

are the right person to do it.

“But, please Mr. President, we here live by law and to love one of us is not out of place.”

He said as monarchs, the traditional rulers in Taraba State will not coerce citizens to vote for any particular candidate in the forthcoming elections unlike what obtained in the past.

“We are not going to force, direct or coerce anybody into voting anybody. We are going to stand neutral, we are going to guide our people into the importance of voting and standing to support their votes.

“And we call on the political participants to understand that voting is God’s gift to all of us and nobody should do anything to abuse the programme of democracy.”

President Buhari, while noting his administration’s determination to address the issues aimed at boosting the nation’s economy and fight insecurity, said his government was poised to tackle the prevailing menace of corruption besetting the country.

He said: “I have taken note of the representation of your representative about the former Governor here who was convicted with another governor.

“I have taken note of that, but look at the time it took from looking at the books to successfully prosecute him and his other colleague from Plateau State. There are a lot others. This system is very slow and since it is the system we have to follow it. I came in a different system I treated it differently. But I too, I was treated differently. So, I have this experience.”

Buhari thereafter proceeded to the stadium, venue of the rally where thousands of the All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters had thronged to receive him along with the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustafa.

Others who accompanied the President were former Governors of Bauchi and Borno states, Isa Yuguda, Ali-Modu Sheriff as well as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

‘Military reads riot act to personnel, civilians’ Continued from page 3 He said: “The Armed Forces of Nigeria is prepared to support the civil authority in ensuring the conduct of free, fair and credible elections by providing security support services when requested by appropriate civil authorities in line with our constitutional roles.

“While the Armed Forces continue to rely on the cooperation and understanding of the media and Nigerians towards sustenance of peace and security in our nation, members of the public are enjoined to report any suspicious person, movement or activities before, during and after the elections to security agencies for prompt actions”.

Meanwhile, the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen Babagana Monguno (rtd), has said the nation’s security agencies will not be compromised in the coming elections.

Rather, he assured that members of the military and para-military agencies that will participate in the elections will discharge

their constitutional duties and stay clear of partisanship.

Maj. Gen Monguno, who is the CoChairman of Inter- Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security, gave the assurance in Abuja on Thursday during an INEC National Stakeholders Forum on2019 General Election held at Sheraton Hotels, Abuja.

He also assured Nigerians and the international community of President Muhammadu Buhari’s to free and fair elections.

He said President Buhari had always insisted that the coming election is not a do or die affair for him.

While vouching for the integrity of the Nigerian military, he promised that security agencies will strictly adhere to their professional roles of providing adequate security for Electoral officials and election materials during and after the poll.

“It is not expected of security agencies to be negatively involved in, assist or aid any political party or politician or be used to intimidate voters”, he said.

Peter Fowoyo, Lagos Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, on Thursday, approached a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos asking the court for an order declaring that by the combined interpretation of Section 153 (1)(i), Paragraph 21 (b) of the 3rd Schedule and Section 292 (1) (a) (i) of the 1999 Constitution as (amended), the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, cannot be suspended or removed from office except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council or the President acting on an address supported by two thirds majority of the Senate.

This is even as the AttorneyGeneral of the Federation (AGF) has filed four processes at the National Industrial Court, Abuja, in the suit opposing the trial of Justice Walter Onnoghen before the Code of

Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Agbakoba’s suit which had the Attorney General of the Federation, Malami Abubakar SAN, and the National Judicial Council (NJC) as defendants, is coming up two weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari, suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mr. Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, from office replacing him with an acting CJN, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed.

In the originating summons brought pursuant to Order 3 Rule 6 Of The Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2009; Section 153 (1)(I), Paragraph 21 (B) Of the 3rd Schedule, Section 292 (1) (A) (I) Of the 1999 Constitution and under the inherent powers of the court, the erudite lawyer is asking the court to determine: Whether by the combined interpretation of Section 153 (1)(i), Paragraph 21 (b) of the 3rd Schedule and Section 292 (1) (a) (i) of the 1999 Constitution as (amended) the Chief

Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen can be suspended or removed from office except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council or the President acting on an address supported by two thirds majority of the Senate.

The plaintiff through his lawyers, Babatunde Ogungbamila and Collins Okeke also asked the court for such further order or orders as the court may deem fit to make in the circumstance.

Also attached to the originating summons is a sixteen paragraphs affidavit wherein the plaintiff stated that “on 25th of January 2019 President Muhammadu Buhari pursuant to an Exparte Order of the Code of the Conduct Tribunal purportedly suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen and purportedly swore in Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.

“I am aware that there is public

outrage as a result of the suspension of the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen.

I also know that there are different views about whether the President of Nigeria can suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria as he did.

“I know that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 provides for removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and that the Chief Justice of Nigeria can only be removed based on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council or an address by the President supported by two third Majority of the Senate.

“I am fully aware that contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, the President suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, based on an Exparte Order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal on 25th of January 2019.

“I am aware that the National Judicial Council (NJC) will on February 11, 2019 determine petitions on the suspension of Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen

and the swearing in of Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.

“The decisions of the NJC are purely administrative. I believe it is in the public interest for the court to declare the law as relates to the suspension or removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria.”

The matter has not been assigned to any judge and no date has been fixed for mention.

Meanwhile, the Office of the Attorney- General of the Federation (AGF) has filed four processes at the National Industrial Court, Abuja, in the suit opposing the trial of Justice Walter Onnoghen before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Peter Abang, the claimant who is also a lawyer, had instituted the suit challenging the jurisdiction of the CCT in prosecuting Onnoghen, the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

At the resumed hearing of the substantive suit on Thursday, counsel to the claimant, James Igwe (SAN) informed the court that the first defendant (AGF), had on Wednesday served him with four processes.

The processes were: notice of preliminary objection, counter affidavit to the interlocutory injunction, counter affidavit to the originating summon and application challenging the jurisdiction of the court.

Igwe, however, said that he had responded to all the processes and was ready to proceed with the matter.

Counsel to the other parties, however, were not in court except counsel to the AGF, Dauda Lamiri, who told the court that the processes had been served on the other defendants.

Igwe further pointed out that there was no communication from the parties as to the reasons for their absence.

He, therefore, suggested an adjournment in the interest of justice to all concerned.

He equally suggested that all pending applications could be taken on the adjourned date starting with the one challenging the jurisdiction of the court.

He said the hearing of the substantive originating summon should be considered next.

Reps c’ttee queries AGF over delay in Short News remitting pension contributions Confusion trails board lists by Buhari, Osinbajo

Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives ad hoc committee probing the activities of the Pension Commission (PENCOM) on Thursday queried the office of the Accountant-General to the government to the federation over delay in remitting pension contributions by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Chairman of the House ad hoc committee, Rep. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbbonayinma, issued the query after submissions by PENCOM indicted the AccountantGeneral’s office for the non - remittance of pension contributions of federal workers for April - May, 2017 and July 2018.

Rep. Agbonayinma had questioned the acting PENCOM Director General, Aisha Umar, why there were discrepancies in the submissions submitted to the committee in terms of pension contributions by federal workers.

According to him, in the month of April and May 2017 there was no remittances recorded and same thing was replicated in July 2018 and demanded to know where the pension contributions were domiciled.

Responding, the acting PENCOM chief

executive admitted that she can’t confirm the whereabouts of the remittances but asked the head of contribution to respond to the query raised by the House member.

Responding, PENCOM Head, Contributory Scheme, Lam Lohinmi, disclosed that “once in a while it happens, but we don’t know where the money is located because it’s usually domiciled at the CBN. “At times, it’s later paid in arrears by the accountant-general of the federation and it’s stated in our submission with you,” he stated.

This explanation didn’t go down well with the committee members who immediately declared the situation an abnormally and resolved to look into the non-remittances at subsequent sittings of the committee.

President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, in his submission before the committee, decried the delay in reconstituting the board of PENCOM by the President, adding that “there’s the need to constitute the board of PENCOM without any further delay.

“As we all can see, the acting management has over-stayed as we need a board because

there’s no provision in the Act for an acting management.”

Earlier, the PENCOM acting Director General, Aisha Umar, had dismissed all the allegations against her management team that prompted the House probe.

She also denied rumours of selective recruitment and promotion by the commission, adding that “on the issue of payment of massive arrears to some top management staff, we only followed the law as stipulated by the tenure system for office holders.

“The tenure system advocates that no director should stay beyond eight years and what we paid was 300 per cent of their annual income after occupying such office after five years and thereafter 10 per cent.

“On massive promotion, we followed the stipulation of Section 17 of the PENCOM Reform Act and it was duly approved by the secretary to the government of the federation,” she added.

However, Rep Benjamin Wayo, a member of the ad hoc committee, accused the acting director general of illegally applying Section 17 of the extant Act as there was no board to approve such promotions and described the said promotions as illegal.

Buhari mourns as party supporters die at APC rally in Jalingo Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed profound sadness over of loss of lives at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Rally in Jalingo, Taraba State on Thursday.

Reacting to reports of the tragic death of some APC supporters due to the overwhelming crowd at the Jolly Nyame Stadium, the President said he is saddened by the death of the party’s faithful.

“I always feel very sad and distressed when ordinary Nigerians who love me and our party because of what we stand for and have done, make personal sacrifices by taking the pains to show their support, end their lives tragically,” Buhari lamented.

While appreciating the massive support he is receiving all over the country, President Buhari calls for restraint on the part of his supporters to avoid such tragic incidences, and improved crowd management at rally grounds.

“I want them to stay alive and witness the dividends of purposeful governance that the APC administration will unfold when they renew our mandate,” he said.

Alleged N6.9bn fraud: Judge threatens to send Obanikoro to jail Peter Fowoyo For failing to appear before a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on Thursday, a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, was threatened by Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, to order his arrest and send him to jail.

Obanikoro, who is testifying for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the trial of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, on Thursday, stalled the continuation of his cross -examination due to his absence.

The prosecution lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), said Obanikoro took ill and was admitted.

“I called him yesterday (Wednesday) to notify him about today’s (yesterday’s) proceedings.

He said he thought he would be discharged on Wednesday (when the court did not sit).

“This morning (Thursday) I couldn’t reach him on phone. But his Special Assistant came and informed me that Obanikoro was in the hospital receiving treatment,” he said.

When the judge asked for a medical report, Jacobs submitted one given him by Obanikoro’s aide.

But the judge appeared unconvinced and furious by the report.

She said Obanikoro had a civic obligation to be in court to continue with his testimony.

Election: CSOs plan to resist moves to redeploy A’Ibom REC Isaac Job, Uyo Few days to 2019 general election, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Akwa Ibom have vowed to resist any attempt to re- deploy the state Resident Electoral Commissioner(REC), Mr Mike Igini to any other part of the country believing that he was capable of conducting credible poll in the state.

Addressing a press conference in Uyo yesterday under the auspices of Guild of Community Development Advocates, an umbrella of Akwa Ibom State Non Governmental Organizations Forum, the Chairman, Mr. Harry Udoh extolled the virtues of Akwa Ibom Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Mike Igini and acknowledged his capacity to conduct credible poll in the state.

Mr. Udoh recalled that previous elections in the state were

characterized by irregularities such as massive rigging, ballot stuffing, voter intimidation, ballot box snatching and other violence leading to fatalities.

“We have had situations where winners were already known before elections actually took place. There were even instances where election materials including result sheets were handed over to political party representatives .This deliberate disenfranchisement of the electorates only result in bad governance as beneficiaries of such nebulous victories were never accountable to the people”.

He said the deployment of the present INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Mike Igini to the state was the best thing to happen to Akwa Ibom in recent time as he (Igini) has integrity to reverse the old order and bring sanity to electoral process in state.

Udoh explained that election cannot be rigged anywhere without the conspiracy with electoral umpire but assured that with personal integrity of the Resident Commissioner the tide would change in Akwa Ibom.

“We have repeatedly engaged with him to ensure free, fair, credible and acceptable election in the state. We are certain that today, no one is in doubt of his readiness and resolve to conduct election that will guarantee that the will and intent of the voting masses count”.

He said the civil society in Akwa Ibom was shocked to hear the rumours that Mr Igini was transferred out of the state but expressed happiness when the rumour was debunked yesterday.

Mr. Udoh warned politicians to refrain from making incendiary statements capable of heating up the polity.

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar has congratulated the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ayuba Wabba on his recent re-election as the President of the Congress.

The PDP presidential candidate says that Wabba’s re-election is a confirmation of the confidence reposed in him by the majority of Nigerian workers who are members of the NLC. Atiku also said that his re-election is a vote of confidence on how the NLC President has discharged his duties of protecting the interest and welfare of Nigerian workers during his first term.

The Waziri Adamawa also congratulates other members of the elected National Executive Committee of the NLC, both new and the re-elected, urging them to work together for a virile and responsible Union of workers and ensure that they use every available opportunity to protect the interest of workers by constructively engaging the government and other stakeholders who are critical to workers welfare.

Hausa youths pledge support for Gov Ugwuanyi’s re-election Moses Oyediran, Enugu Youths of Hausa extraction resident in Enugu State have pledged total support for the reelection of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in the March 2 gubernatorial election.

Speaking during a solidarity visit to Gov. Ugwuanyi on Thursday, the youths who converged on the Government House, Enugu, in very large numbers described the governor as a detribalized leader who treats everyone equally regardless of religion and ethnicity, and equally commended him for developing the state “like no one had ever done”.

“Most of us were born and brought up here in Enugu and don’t know anywhere else as home,” Alhaji Hamza Buba, leader of the Arewa Youths explained amid cheers from the excited crowd.

According to him, youths in the Hausa community in the state have been in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and will always remain in the party.

“PDP is a party for democracy and for everybody. There has never been any governor since the return to democracy who has shown concern for our welfare like you have done.

You visit us when there is need.

“We remain loyal to you because you are our father. Our votes will be cast entirely for you and the PDP. We will definitely ensure we return you to Lion Building,” he said, adding that they would be going into the streets from the Government House to campaign vigorously for him.

Ohaneze Ndigbo and 2109 presidential election

Emma Agu

Cyprian Ekwensi’s novel: Survive the Peace was premised, among others, on the disrupted family ties and social relations that emerged in Igboland, after the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us, who witnessed the war, albeit as kids, will confirm that things actually went awry: Brothers turned against brothers; most time, as they squabbled over resources that were, indeed, very scarce.

Unfortunately, while in some cases, the enmity caused by the situation has petered out, in others, erstwhile harmonious relationships have been destroyed forever.

By some surprising amnesia, sadly, today, some of those who witnessed that low era, in Igboland, seem not to have properly digested the lessons of the period hence the stage is set for a repeat of that history. This time around, it is the countdown to the 2019 elections, a period that is, again, pregnant with unfathomable forebodings, as Igbo brothers squabble over the best strategy to confront what many regard, as an existential challenge.

From the current fireworks, ignited by the recent endorsement of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by the Ohaneze Ndigbo, over and above the incumbent President Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari of the All Peoples Congress Party, APC, it is obvious that, no matter the outcome of the elections, things will no longer be the same again.

While the pro-Atiku groups do not see anything wrong with the Ohanaeze position, those in the pro-Buhari camp disagree vehemently with and, in fact, reject the endorsement. Those who want to dismiss the disagreement with a wave of the hand should be concerned that Barrister Uche Okwukwu, the secretary general of Ohaneze, has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari, obviously conveying the lack of consensus on such a serious matter.

For those who do not know, Okwukwu is an unapologetic pro-Igbo Ikwerre man from Rivers State; he is one whose Igbo DNA has not undergone any mutation, even if you prefixed his first name “Uche” with an “R”, to read Ruche! It is against this background that the reported suspension of Okwukwu, last Friday, should be viewed as not just

a dangerous escalation of a worrisome crisis but a questionable strategy for resolving an impasse that could have been averted, had Ohaneze Ndigbo not been dragged into the murky waters of partisan politics.

Here again, history appears to be repeating itself, as this looks like a throwback to the situation just before the 1979 elections when the leadership of Ohaneze, at the time, endorsed the Shagari-Ekwueme ticket. Predictably, Ohaneze went comatose after that incident, only to be revived in 1983. Let us hope that the body is not being railroaded into another state of suspended animation! It is interesting to note that the great ZIK of Africa, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, was on the ballot as the presidential candidate of the defunct Nigerian People’s Party, NPP, the same year Ohaneze endorsed Shagari. This time around, by some poetic coincidence, Buhari was at Onitsha, Anambra State, commissioning the Zik Mausoleum, a project that had been abandoned for over 20 years, just as the Nnia Nwodo-led Ohaneze leadership was publicly endorsing Atiku Abubakar. History!!!

Passions are understandably very high at the moment with each group posturing sanctimoniously, as the moral beacon of the Igbo society. This is particularly the case with those who support the Ohaneze President, the erudite Dr. John Nnia Nwodo who, in turn, sees himself, not without justification, as the repository of the sovereign sociocultural authority, of the Igbo nation. Curiously, that is the source of the problem: his authority is sociocultural, not political. The Ohaneze leadership was never intended to usurp the role, of political parties, to openly canvass for votes, in a purely partisan fashion. Those who take this line of argument have a strong point, for several reasons.

The first reason is that Ohaneze is supposed to act as father to every Igbo person, no matter where the person lives or what interest group, the person belongs. That is why people of Igbo extraction, in the South-South, who share common geo-political and socio-economic affinity with other ethnic groups, also belong to Ohaneze. However, given their dual identity, their political interests may not always converge with those of the core Igbo

heartland. It is precisely for reasons such as this that, playing the role of father demands a high level of dispassion, on the part of Ohaneze leadership. Put bluntly, neutrality confers on the body, the moral authority to legitimately expect those in dispute to enthusiastically submit to the organisation’s adjudication. But when the body takes an overtly partisan posture as it has done, it subverts its own authority.

The second reason is that partisan politics exposes the actors to all sorts of indignities, given that politicians are not known to be too economical with disparaging language. To be in politics is akin to entering the boxing ring, for a fight: Once in, you cannot hide; you throw and take punches and your opponent may not respect your height or status. Could that be what is happening right now between the Ohaneze President, Dr. Nnia Nwodo and Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra State? It is precisely for this reason that traditional institutions and socio-cultural organisations like Ohaneze are advised to steer clear of partisan politics. At any rate, if one may ask, what makes it mandatory for Ohaneze to make its support public? Are there no corridors for conveying the position of the group, in a manner that it still retains the confidence of all, without exposing some of its members to public ridicule or even danger?

We must face the fact: that is precisely what Ohaneze has achieved. It has given the impression, which is wrong, that those who support other candidates, especially President Buhari, are less patriotic than others; that they do not have the interest of Igboland at heart. Yet we know that that is debatable. For crying out loud, it is preposterous for anybody to claim that every person, of South-East extraction, in the APC, is an Igbo hater. Furthermore, it will be dubious in the extreme, to suggest, let alone insist, that Igboland got to its present sorry state, just in the past four years.

Let’s face it: the poor infrastructure, absence of strategic national assets such as refineries, iron and steel complexes (in spite of the abundance of coal in the zone!), etc did not just start, four years ago.

By some coincidence, many high-ranking members of the Imeobi, the apex decision making organ

of Ohaneze Ndigbo have held sway in Nigeria’s political scene as governors, ministers, special advisers, chief execs of strategic federal institutions or top party men, even as infrastructure in the south east deteriorated and sunk into complete disrepair.

If one may ask, did the miserable state of the EnuguPort Harcourt Expressway just happen? It will be interesting to tell our people why that stretch of road has lingered in that condition since the restoration of democracy in 1999. What about the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in Owerri? Do we need a national referendum or United Nations supervised plebiscite, to provide the infrastructure required to achieve its designated status? Why have successive administrations before now not effectively tackled the indefensible underutilisation of sea ports in the eastern corridor of the country? Did President Buhari or the APC stop any previous administration, from doing the needful? I think the time has come for us, Ndigbo, to be more honest with ourselves.

Political wisdom will dictate that institutions, like Ohanaeze, retain the credibility to act, on behalf of their groups, no matter the outcome of the elections. There are moments when people think that elections have been wrapped up, that the public mood, as expressed on social media or even dictated by opinion polls or public debates, have settled the outcome of elections. That is where false confidence can be disastrous. Let us hope that Ohaneze does not become a victim of such over-confidence. Should Buhari/APC win, and going by the demographics and the peculiar primordial determinants of electoral behaviour in Nigeria, nothing so far suggests that the party will lose, it is hoped that Ohaneze will retain the moral fiber to present itself as a credible voice of the Igbo, thereafter.

Besides, it needs to be stated that one way to avert a reenactment of the immediate post-civil war era calamity, where the Igbo found surviving the peace much more difficult than surviving the war, is to commence immediate fence-mending steps, to repair the damage already caused. Ohaneze Ndigbo can borrow a leaf from President Buhari who, while campaigning in Owerri, advised voters in Imo State to vote for candidates of their choice, across party and not ethnic or religious lines.

This inexhaustible national cake

Aniebo Nwamu

Everywhere you turn in Nigeria, there’s a drama of the absurd to watch. The issue of the national minimum wage is one of them. An assembly of former and current leaders of the country (the Council of State) has prescribed N27, 000 while the House of Representatives has “debated” and passed N30, 000 as minimum wage (MW).

All have been playing politics, it seems.

And leaders of organised labour are the greater politicians: their motive is not to achieve better conditions of service for Nigerian workers or the wellbeing of the common man. The whole MW affair is a fraud, and, like all frauds, it is meant to cause trouble. Otherwise, I don’t understand why a piece of legislation that cost several months of “hard work” and incredible billions of naira has become non-implementable: many state governments that accepted to pay N18, 000 about eight years ago have yet to comply, and now a higher amount is being imposed on them. They can’t pay until the revenue allocation formula is altered in their favour. Labour could go on indefinite strike, if it likes!

The noise about MW has become deafening.

Somebody should call the noisemakers to order.

In fact, they have already put all of us in trouble.

Landlords, transport operators and traders have been listening to the announcements with keener interest. Prices of goods and services have been going up, but the real trouble will come when the implementation of the so-called MW begins.

More worrying is that government employees make up less than 10% of Nigerian workers. For now, nobody’s attention is on the private sector – there will be no opportunity to negotiate with private-sector employers anyway. So, those that are outside the civil/public service (90%) have no hope of earning the MW, though all of us go to the same markets. The truth is that, in the informal sector of the economy, many self-employed people and their employees earn less than N18, 000 per month. When the new MW comes into effect, these underemployed workers may choose between becoming poorer and becoming jobless; there will be no Labour Congress to negotiate on their behalf.

And we have not even mentioned the unemployed – some 80million school leavers and unskilled labourers who are still roaming the streets or filling forms at the Civil Service Commission in search of non-existent jobs.

It might be easy to implement the MW as soon

as the naira gets devalued again. It’s N360 to the dollar now, thanks to interventions by the Central Bank with billions of dollars so far. When the naira is floated, the exchange rate is likely to hit N1, 000 to the dollar. Who will be benefitting from the MW when a loaf of bread will cost N1, 000? By the time some global financial institutions finish with Nigeria, N50, 000 would not be able to purchase a bag of rice. The myopic labour leaders had better start negotiating for N1 million as MW from 2021!

In any case, there are many ways to kill a rat. The federal and state governments can decide to pay the MW now and still get by. They could sack 80% of their workers almost immediately. Under Obasanjo, it was “right-sizing” or downsizing that eliminated over 120, 000 jobs. Those who earn obscene salaries and allowances in the NNPC, CBN, NDIC, and as lawmakers or other political appointees might endure a salary cut.

Labour might oppose mass retrenchment but it can’t prevent government from laying off all those that have violated the Civil Service Rules: “evil” servants that lied under oath — those that falsified their age or their certificate. If all the civil servants in Nigeria were subjected to MRI tests, I’m sure it would be discovered that 80% lied about their age.

Indolence, fraud and redundancy could also be given as reasons for sacking many. Stories about missing files, “Oga no dey” and “Madam is not on seat” would end when professionals take over the civil service.

Our civil/public servants have been enjoying a form of social security scheme, that is, they’ve been getting paid for not doing any work. All of us deserve to enjoy the scheme, however. Were the government and labour leaders sincere, they would have reduced the MW to N15, 000 and then accommodated more people – the unemployed, the unemployable, the physically and mentally challenged, the elderly and the indigent. After all, everything in Nigeria is about sharing the commonweal. Each of the lawmakers that passed the MW bill, for instance, earns a minimum of N15 million monthly for doing nothing. Today we have 40-something ministers, each with special advisers, senior special assistants and personal advisers.

Former, current and future “militants” in the Niger Delta are earning N60, 000 monthly under an “amnesty” programme; and some opinion leaders are asking that the same be extended to Boko Haram

members in the north. What a country!

No other nation, I presume, can withstand such deadly assaults. I started hearing about the “national cake” while I was a boy in primary school over 45 years ago. That “cake” has yet to finish, even though the aim of everybody – Nigerians and foreigners – has been to get a piece of it since then. Nobody bothers to bake the cake. And that reminds me of a Freudian slip committed by then head of state General Yakubu Gowon in 1974: “Nigeria’s problem is not money but what to do with money.” That we’ve endured all deadly assaults to the treasury is proof that this cake is inexhaustible indeed.

Over the years Gowon has struggled to give the correct interpretation of that statement. But he need not deny anything. It was the naked truth put into his mouth perhaps by an unseen voice. The author of a novel I read 18 years ago – I’ve forgotten his name but he was a lecturer at the University of Nigeria – lends Gowon support. He writes something like this: “Nobody works in Nigeria. Everybody is just struggling to get a share of the oil wealth of the country…”

Little wonder General Ibrahim Babangida, as military president, once expressed surprise that the Nigerian economy had not collapsed. Twenty-seven years after that statement, Nigeria remains more than a miracle in progress. But never far away is a reminder of our wastefulness and corruption: the existence of too many poor people in a very rich nation.

Labour’s agitation should be for good governance that has eluded this country. Ironically, civil servants have been the accomplices of politicians that have been looting public funds. Some own estates and pay their children’s fees in hard currency in America and England. Such evil “servants” don’t really need the minimum wage.

Not Minister Adamu’s Business Every minister of education in the last 15 years or so has issued statements condemning the existence of “fake” or “illegal” universities in the country. But rather than disappear, the “illegal” universities have multiplied. The current Education minister, Adamu Adamu, has just joined the chorus. He has warned that graduates from those varsities would be holding empty papers as certificates and wouldn’t be eligible for the NYSC or jobs.

Where there is a law, it should be obeyed or

enforced. But some laws are not enforceable: the warning to avoid non-accredited primary and secondary schools has always been given, yet the majority of schools in Lagos, Abuja and other big cities today are not accredited. The number of “fake” universities is equally huge now – it perhaps exceeds that of “genuine” federal and state varsities put together.

Many varsities, polytechnics and colleges of education are labelled “illegal” or “fake” because they have not been validated by the National Universities Commission (NUC) or its equivalent.

Maybe their promoters have not paid the right fees!

NUC’s interest is not in the quality of education students receive there. If it were not so, not even the “legal” or accredited tertiary institutions would still be standing.

It might be necessary to relax the law as it pertains to setting up private schools. Let everyone who can design curricula and hire appropriate teachers be allowed to do so. Maybe they will be able to run the educational institutions we need now – schools that will enable their students to acquire skills needed by employers. The wrong schools won’t survive because they won’t have students. I believe in the efficacy of market forces.

Minister Adamu spoke as if anybody worries about the NYSC anymore. And where are the jobs to be picked by graduates from the legal universities anyway? He and the government he represents should simply advise young people to avoid unaccredited institutions. But he should never unleash security operatives or EFCC on the schools. Let the market be the judge. Whether one would be excluded from the NYSC or government jobs shouldn’t be Adamu’s business. It is the business of those who choose to attend only approved varsities to seek information from JAMB, NUC and other regulators.

Proliferation of tertiary schools is inevitable.

Less than 20% of 1.6 million UTME candidates secure admission each year, and Adamu has yet to offer the rest (about 1.3 million young people) valuable advice. He has yet to improve his own “legal” universities one bit. Otherwise, ASUU wouldn’t be on strike for a half of every academic year, and the accredited varsities wouldn’t be finding illiterates and criminals “worthy in character and learning” at graduation ceremonies every year.

Editorial Commentary Odinga-US hypocrisy as bitter medicine

Times Guest Columnist Azu Ishiekwene

These days Nigeria is treated as either the continent’s worst joke or the world’s laggard for democracy. From Nairobi to Brussels and from London to Washington, we’re getting lengthy lectures on how not to run a country. And we’re laughing them off and forwarding the messages.

There’s a stinging joke about corruption in Nigeria by Raila Odinga making the rounds. The former Kenyan prime minister chose the opening of an anti-corruption summit to share a joke about how a Nigerian minister bested his Malaysian counterpart in pocketing public funds set aside to build bridges.

I didn’t find the joke funny. Not because of any sense of denial, but because Odinga should know that it was in his country, Kenya, that a certain John Githongo, had to run for his life when corruption fought back demanding Githongo’s head on a plate.

It’s all there in Michela Wrong’s book, “Our turn to eat,” how Kenya’s politicians right to the top, threatened to kill Githongo who was, among other things, investigating the $1billion Anglo Leasing case, one of the uglier corruption cases on the continent. If Odinga’s fabled Malaysian minister read Wrong’s book, which carefully detailed how systemic corruption brought Kenya to its knees, he’ll find that Nairobi offers lessons in corruption, with a peculiarly Asian transnational network, that is difficult to find elsewhere.

But Odinga conveniently forgot that. Instead, he chose Nigeria – the world’s favourite doormat – as the butt of his joke. It’s obvious that apart from his deadly skills in identity politics, Odinga is also gifted to see the speck in his neighbour’s eye, not minding the mote in his own.

Odinga is not alone. Recently, Nigeria has been the subject of interest elsewhere, with a staccato of warning letters from the embassies of the US and the UK, and the office of the European Union.

I read the US statement twice. Not because the language was not clear, but because I had serious difficulty understanding why the US, which has been a bad example in elections in recent years, can look Nigeria in the eye and moralise about free, fair and credible elections.

As former President Bill Clinton visits Nigeria on the eve of the election to drive home US concerns, we also remember the not-so-flattering US record on elections.

Let’s not go back to the 2000 election and the scandalous Florida recount that left Al Gore high and dry and many believing, even to date, that the election did not provide a clear winner. That happened nearly 20 years ago; yet echoes of the dodgy recount still haunts the US resurfacing again in Florida’s mid-term governorship elections only last November.

There’s even a much bigger question mark over the victory of Donald Trump three years ago; a question mark that can’t be lost on Bill Clinton. Was the process that led to the election of Trump as the 45th US President free, fair and credible?

It has been argued, quite reasonably, in some quarters for example that the outcome of the 2016 elections might have been different if former FBI director James Comey did not make the unprecedented and brazenly damaging comment about Hilary Clinton’s emails on the eve of the election.

That foot-in-the-mouth moment changed the 2016 presidential contest between Hilary and Trump forever. It not only interfered with what might have potentially been a different outcome, it was exactly the boost that the flagging Trump campaign needed to carry him over the line.

If Comey had been a Nigerian, it is not inconceivable that the US embassy would have expressed grave concern about an interference so close to the poll that it was certain to hand over

victory to one party to the disadvantage of the other.

The losing party, on its own part, would have labelled Comey an agent of the other party and written letters to all major countries around the world including, of course, the International Criminal Court, to immediately put Comey on trial.

But since US shenanigans are supposed to best practices for the rest of the world, the Comey nonsense was treated as largely an American internal affair. Not only was the world obliged to suffer Comey’s brazen interference gladly, mounting evidence of Russia’s meddling in the elections has also become the biggest political soap opera since Watergate. And no one dares pontificate!

As hypocrisy goes, where the US leads, the UK is never far behind. So, just on the heels of the US statement expressing concern about the prospects of a free and fair election in Nigeria, the UK and the EU followed the US embassy’s coattails.

These folks whose self-interest and poorlythought-out military misadventures in Libya and the middle-east, especially in Syria, have led to one of the worst political destabilisations in recent times, causing waves of migration and incredible human misery, also had a thing or two to say about free, fair and credible elections.

They conveniently forget that the indirect consequences of their actions have undermined – and continue to undermine – the stability and political destinies of many countries. Yet, how they love to pontificate – not facing – but backing the mirror.

But we must be careful not to put all the blame on foreign doorsteps. We must also avoid the danger of moral equivalence or threaten foreigners with body bags. It is the wayward child that gives the insolent neighbour something to say.

We don’t need anyone to tell us that free, fair and credible elections are, first of all, for our own benefit. But since we have had generations of leaders who would die for foreign approval and validation, we can’t blame foreigners too much for meddling.

Consider, for example, the misery that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had to go through just for his recent trip to the US. After months of enduring the taunting, jeering and sniggering of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), that he was persona non grata in the US, Atiku officially paid $540,000 and sacrificed an arm and a leg, for a temporary pass to the US. And that was after saying many times – and quite correctly too – that he did not need a trip to the US to become Nigeria’s president.

At the time current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected, he could not enter the US for alleged violations of religious freedom when he was the first minister of the Indian state of Gujarat.

But the denial of US visa didn’t bother Modi.

If it was an issue during his campaign, it was an issue in the US, not in India. After his election in 2014 – nine years after he had been denied a visa – the US laid out the red carpet for him, as it also did for Uhuru Kenyatta who had been blacklisted before his election for his first term as president six years ago.

But our case is different. We’re not what we are but what others, especially the Oyinbo, say we are.

So, we have become the butt of jokes for corruption and we accept them as normal; we have become the lecture theatre for free, fair and credible elections and we’re not outraged that foreigners don’t think we can mind our business and mind it well.

When will Nigeria come of age? When?

OUR POSITION Stemming the upsurge of malnutrition among children Without mincing words, education and awareness are the first steps to understand and solve any problem.

But the problem of malnutrition is not an exception.

The ranking of Nigeria among countries with the highest number of children suffering from malnutrition definitely calls for concern.

Nutrition has a powerful influence on growth, development, and the productive life of every individual. Optimal nutrition at each stage of the life cycle is therefore a fundamental human right.

Furthermore, nutrition is linked to most of, if not all, the Strategic Development Goals (SDGs) and the right to food, adequate nutrition, and healthcare are fundamental to achieving the SDGs. Malnutrition is the lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one eats. Over-nutrition is also malnutrition. In children, malnutrition thrives when children go hungry or feed on monotonous diets based on highly processed carbohydrates, little fresh vegetables and no fruit.

According to a report by the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) on malnutrition burden in Nigeria, stunting, wasting and underweight rates have worsened in the country when compared to the same survey in 2015.

The MICS in 2017 puts Nigeria’s stunting rate at 43.3 per cent, as against 32.9 per cent in the 2015 survey. It shows that in 2017, the rate of wasting was 10.8 per cent, while in 2015; the figure was 7.2 per cent. The study also shows that underweight rate in the country was at 31.5 per cent in 2017, while in 2015, the rate was 19.4 per cent.

Global records recently showed that while stunting and other forms of malnutrition have reduced worldwide, from 198 million to 151 million people, the burden is presently increasing at an alarming rate in West and Central Africa, from 22.8 million to 28.8 million people.

Incidentally, ignorance of what is adequate diet, poverty and lip-service to strategic plan of action on nutrition by the Nigerian government has affected the intake of nutritious food in Nigeria. A review of trends in economic growth, health and nutrition in Nigeria indicates that the country is undergoing rapid socioeconomic, demographic, nutritional and health transitions.

But under-nutrition has continued to be persistently high and remains a challenge. Lately, the media is full of statistics about how Nigeria is home to the highest number of stunted children in the continent, percentage of wasted and under-weight children. Unfortunately, the statistics do not result in the adoption of essential family practices. It does not stop badly cooked food being served in private homes, restaurants, hotels and boarding houses.

Dishing out statistics is not solving the problem of inadequate-nutrition. Too often we choose our food for reasons of convenience, taste, availability and social acceptance. We prefer to love sugar and fat as kids. Many eat rice consistently for as much as thrice a day. Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body’s dietary needs.

They are likely to have poor nutritional statusparticularly insufficient micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) which are essential for building good immunity, enabling efficient metabolism and full body functioning. It is, therefore, desirable to address and remove the conditions that make malnutrition thrive.

We are of he opinion that advocacy need to become loudest on the importance of taking adequate care of pregnant women with adequate nutrition and for the women to practice exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding is said to reduce 50 per cent of killer diseases in children. The practice of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life and the introduction of adequate complementary diet till the first two years of life are key to child survival and optimal growth.

It is also crucial that individuals adopt a nutrition-

based approach to food choices and eating habits to avoid the long-term effects of lifestyle malnutrition. In essence, this means changing from a diet high in animal products, refined and processed foods to one that is rich in fresh, wholesome foods, especially fruit and vegetables.

Another thing that needs advocacy is the promotion of natural foods, because they contain “life forces,” which is defined in terms of minerals and vitamins. Call them what you like, the fact remains that only the fresh foods, whether they are fruits, vegetables, milk, flesh or grains have their maximum quota of these life-giving elements.

From the afore-mentioned, our objective against malnutrition will be better achieved if we focus on addressing issues of status of women, the care of pregnant mothers and children under two, breastfeeding and importance of adequate nutrition and health. This is where telecommunication companies as well as the mass media should come up with public education on how to achieve optimum nutrition.

Sadly too, lifestyles have changed for the worse and not many Nigerian homes have gardens and poultries from which adequate protein could be sourced for consumption particularly, in the urban areas, which is why the urban poor languish more in malnourishment.

Mass poverty, no doubt, remains a major hindrance to life lived in abundance by Nigerians.

We therefore submit that while it is the duty of government to see to the welfare of the citizenry, families should give adequate attention to their children and their feeding habits. There should be home gardens where vegetables are planted even in the urban areas. Education of course, is key. The Ministries of Health, particularly, at the state level, should use local languages on all media platforms to sensitise people on how to give children balanced diet, using nutrient-rich local foods. We believe that this development will reduce malnutrition among children to barest minimum.

APC to PDP: Lies against Buhari, APC, INEC, intimidation, others won’t stop defeat Tom Okpe, Abuja

As the general election approaches, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lashed out at the major opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that neither its lies against President Muhammadu Buhari and the party nor its intimidation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), by deploying blackmail tactics will stop the defeat of the PDP. In a statement issued by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu in Abuja on Thursday, the Party said the PDP’s line of attack cannot affect President Buhari’s emphatic victory in the February 16 election.

The statement reads: “We have watched how panicky leaders of the PDP have become, having realised that they are heading for a crushing and humiliating defeat in the forthcoming general election.

“In their confused and pitiable state, they have unconscionably hurled pedestrian allegations of partisanship and partiality against INEC and other state institutions.

“The PDP leaders’ strategy is to regularly call out INEC and allege partiality towards the APC, thereby creating doubts in the minds

of Nigerians and international community about the independence and credibility of the electoral body.

“This is one of the odious antics of a desperate party that wants to hijack presidential power, not on the strength of having a credible alternative, but on the strength of selfish propaganda with which they mask their real motivation for seeking a return to power, plundering of the public treasury”.

The ruling party calls on Nigerians to look between the PDP and the APC and judge who among them can be said to be favoured by the election umpire.

“We call on Nigerians to judge between the APC and the PDP, who can be said to have been favoured by INEC when one considers how the electoral body had initially barred the APC from fielding candidates in Zamfara and Rivers States in the forthcoming elections. Less than two weeks to elections, our party is still in courts to seek justice from INEC to enable us field candidates.

Notwithstanding our protests, calling INEC’s attention to the fact that the PDP didn’t conduct any primaries in Kano State, the electoral body has opted to look the other way even in the face of glaring evidence.

“It is clear that the PDP is only interested in getting to power on a

stolen mandate. It was not surprising that the PDP celebrated INEC’s initial decisions on Zamafara and Rivers because the PDP knows they stand no chance against the APC candidates in a free and fair election”.

The APC also expressed shock on PDP’s allegation that the distribution of Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) is being hampered by INEC to disenfranchise supposed PDP supporters.

The APC further said; “How could anyone have known the political party affiliations of those who are yet to collect their PVCs such that the process of disenfranchising them was activated by INEC to favour the APC”, the statement queried.

“The PDP and its leaders cannot hold the APC responsible for their electoral misfortunes. PDP administration’s antecedents of treasury looting, mismanagement of the economy and widespread insecurity have put a big wedge between them and the Nigerian people.

“There is no doubt that the PDP will be roundly rejected at the forthcoming general election. On our part, we are confident that Nigerians will renew our mandate on the basis of our verifiable and multi-sector record of performance under the leadership of President Buhari”, it added.

Gov Ugwuanyi advises traditional rulers, community leaders on World Bank projects Moses Oyediran, Enugu Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has made fresh call on traditional rulers and Community Leaders in the State to make judicious use of funds provided to them by the World Bank and the state government for development of infrastructural facilities in their areas.

Ugwuanyi made the call yesterday through his State Commissioner for Rural Development, Chief Gabriel Onuzuliki, during a formal presentation of first tranche of money to the people of Enugu-Owelli in Awgu Local Government Area of the state for the building of Health Centre in the community.

The governor noted that the community driven projects which had been extended to many villages in the state are being done by the World Bank in collaboration with the State and local government councils, stressing that the Agency for Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) was charged with the responsibility of evaluating and monitoring the projects to their completion.

According to him, the projects were conceived by the beneficiary communities according to their needs, adding that the state had no problem in keying into the World Bank projects because development of rural communities is one of the four-point agenda of the present administration in the state.

“Make judicious use of the fund provided to you. We will not tolerate fraud of any kind. And on our part, we will continue to provide the counter-part fund required from us.

This government is a people-oriented regime that places the welfare of the people at heart”, he added.

Igwe Basil Udeani, traditional ruler of Enugu-Owelli community remarked, “I am happy and feel fulfilled for being alive to see government presence in my community. This is the first government project in my community.

I am grateful to our governor for the provision of infrastructure in the area. We are going to reciprocate his marvelous work by voting him en-masse during the forthcoming elections. I promise that the first woman to deliver a baby in this health centre will be given N5,000.00. I also assure you that we are going to protect the facilities here” “We are delighted over the project.

We have received N5m from the government like other communities in the state and today we are getting N10m World Bank project. We also thank the Commissioner for aiding us in all these areas”, the PresidentGeneral of the community, Evangelist Gabriel Udeh added.

Don’t sell your votes for salt, maggi -INEC warns women Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) Thursday charged women not to sell their votes for food stuffs such as salt, maggi, rice, oil and wrapper.

The electoral umpire said women are mostly induced by politicians for petty food stuffs which will not last up to a week.

Speaking at a town hall meeting with women groups, an INEC Gender Desk Officer, Plateau state, Chinyere Okorie, said women have more important roles to play in election rather than being a tool in the hands of politicians.

“We want to remind women that being part of the electoral process is their right as equal citizens of Nigeria and not to be used by politicians who only want to buy their votes, by giving them food items such as salt, maggi, rice, oil, wrapper etc.

“Women over the years have been neglected to the background when it comes to politics. They don’t play a leading role, what we normally see are women going to vote for the male folks.

“In this election INEC has been engaging women and its stakeholders to be part of the electoral process, not just as voters but to be voted for”, Okorie said.

NDDC: Group lauds appointment of Brambaifa, mobilises support for Buhari A group known as Buhari Supporters of Bayelsa State has expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for the appointment of Prof.

Nelson Brambaifa as the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta development Commission (NDDC).

The group while congratulating Prof. Nelson Brambaifa said in a press statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Braye Odiowei Major, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa, that the appointment was a good omen for the region as the erudite scholar is a man of hard

work and perseverance.

The statement said it was quite certain that Prof. Nelson’s integrity and work ethics will take the Commission to greater heights.

“The group wholeheartedly commends the decision of President Muhammad Buhari for appointing a qualified and upright man for the job. This appointment is a credible move to deepen the developmental strides of the Commission,” the statement said and promised that members would mobilise support and deliver all their votes to the President.

They also called on all wellmeaning Bayelsans to give their support to the re-election agenda of President Muhammad Buhari for more meaningful developments.

“We are appealing to Bayelsans irrespective of party affiliation to rally behind President Buhari in his quest to take the Niger delta to the next level. This is a period as a people, for us to have a re-think and should not put all our eggs in one basket and the notion that PDP is South- South party because politics is no longer played that way,” the statement said.

The Chief Judge, Federal High Court, Justice Abdu Kafarati, has tasked judiciary and law enforcement officers on the need to check rampant energy theft and vandalism in electricity sector.

Kafarati made the call in Enugu on Thursday in an address at a one-day Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) Judges Seminar.

The seminar was themed; ``Prosecution of Energy Theft, Allied Offences and Industry Related Litigation’’.

The Chief Judge noted that vadalisation, theft and sometimes unauthorised access to electricity facilities were the common threats in the sector.

He noted that these could be source of economic distress to the country that had been trying so hard to improve its power delivery.

According to him, importantly, if the judiciary is not expediently proactive, criminals will continue to exploit the vulnerable aspect of the system and other critical infrastructure. ``Indeed it is important that electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOS) partner with the Bench and other stakeholders in order to stamp out acts that are capable of frustrating the intendment of the Federal Government in privatising the power sector.

5 die as APC campaign rally ends on tragic note in Taraba Okerafor Athanatius, Jalingo No fewer than five persons have been confirmed dead in Jalingo the Taraba state capital while displaying support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection.

Mr. Bala Dan Abu, Senior Special Assistant (SSA), Media and Publicity to Taraba State Governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku while briefing the media at

Apapa Command of NCS increases revenue by N53.3bn in 2018 Temitiope Adebayo The Apapa Area 1 Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has increased revenue generated in 2018 by N53.3 billion to N404 billion, compared to N350.9 billion it generated in 2017.

The Customs Area Controller of the command, Comptroller Bashir Abubakar, made this known while briefing newsmen in Lagos on Thursday.

According to him, the amount realised was 95 per cent of the 2018 revenue target of N426.1 billion.

“This also shows that the command collected N53billion above the revenue generated in 2017,’’ the controller said.

Abubakar attributed the success to the selfless stance of the officers and men, as well as the support and back-up by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Retired Col. Hameed Ali and his management team.

He said that the other strategies the command adopted which led to the success included the instance seamless operation of the import and export businesses by his administration.

Abubakar also explained that he introduced a 24-hour dispute resolution team and on-spot examination by all units and agencies.

“The strategies included an advanced system and monitoring, collaboration between internal and external units of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and other government agencies,’’ the controller said.

He said that these strategies had helped to block most revenue leakages and enhanced trade facilitation and security.

“Seventy-two containers of various general goods such as used spare parts used tyres and other sundry goods valued at N9.626 billion in 2018 were intercepted.

“In the year under review, the command also seized and condemned 41 x 40ft containers of controlled pharmaceutical drugs, including tramadol, in excess of the allowable milligrammes with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N8.81 billion.

“Furthermore, the command also intercepted and seized an export-bound used helicopter with registration number 5BN valued at N210.6 million, in addition to another port-bound Aircraft `Cessna 182A’ in CKD with serial no. 3400, valued at N486.9 million.

“These items were seized in accordance with the provisions of the extant laws and guidelines.

“All these items were seized owning to various infractions such as a false declaration, concealment and complete disregard of import and export guidelines’,’ Abubakar said.

He said that the command recorded a high level of compliance on export declarations, while 2,500 containers were blocked for non-compliance.

Post-Christmas expenditure, others to dip January inflation to 11.35% - Analysts Motolani Oseni A group of analysts at Financial Derivatives Company (FDC) have projected that Nigeria’s headline inflation is expected to slide to 11.35per cent in January from 11.44 per cent stood in the preceding month.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) had disclosed that the inflation rate of 11.44 per cent for December 2018 from per cent reported in January 2018.

The FDC analysts made this projection in their Economic bulletin released during the week, where they said that the 11.35 per cent inflation rate validates that the assertion in personal income compression in January is partly because of the payment of school bills and the post-Christmas expenditure effect.

According to the report, this likely to be a reflection of a fall in disposable income in January, leading to a decline in aggregate demand for

consumer goods, the pattern of slow demand early in the year is seasonal and is empirically validated.

In recent times, January inflation numbers have declined, as shown in the graph below.

“The moderation in the headline inflation would come as a relief to policymakers who are concerned that inflation will continue its upward movement which started in November.

Notwithstanding, the inflation number is still a mile away from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN’s) comfort zone of 6-9 per cent.”

The analysts noted further that the monthon-month inflation, which is more reflective of current prices is projected to decline to 0.72 per cent (8.96% annualized) from 0.74per cent (9.31% annualized) in December 2018.

“This we believe will be driven by the fall in the prices of the food basket. The most significant is the sharp drop in the price of onions which declined to N18,000 per sack after staying stubbornly high at above N30,000 per sack for five months.

“Money supply growth in January was

constrained by factors including lower FACC disbursements, increased OMO activities and the introduction of the stabilization securities. Total FAAC disbursements in January was 20.12 per cent lower at N649.2billion, an indication of a fall in government spending”, it stated.

The FDC report stated that efforts to mop up liquidity saw a 31.49per cent increase in OMO sales to N2.38 trillion and the introduction of stabilization securities (N50.24bn)–10per cent of the money supply. This reduction in market liquidity is evident in the sharp drop of 42.87 per cent in banks’ average opening position.

Consequently, 7.69 per cent decline in the retail price of diesel is expected to reduce logistics and distribution costs. This expense item is now responsible for approximately 40 per cent of total operating expenses. Distribution expenses in the top manufacturing companies have been growing.

For instance, Dangote cement’s haulage expenses grew by 53per cent to N63.99 billion in

9M’18 from N41.56billion in 9M’17. The decline in diesel prices could reverse them increasing trend in firms’ operating costs.

They, however, expressed that the exchange rate appreciated across all segments of the foreign exchange market in January.

“The naira gained 0.28 per cent at the parallel market to close the review period at N361/$. Similarly, the interbank and IEFX rates appreciated by 0.07 per cent and 0.38per cent to end the month at N306.75/$ and N363.03/$ respectively.

“The appreciation in the currency was partly due to increased CBN forex intervention.

Total forex sales was up 40.8per cent to $1.18bn in January. Given Nigeria’s high marginal propensity to import (MPI) of approximately 70 per cent, an exchange rate appreciation would reduce import costs and lower imported inflation.

This is positive for firms’ production costs and margins –particularly in the manufacturing sector”, they said.

Nigeria, India can benefit from each other, says Budget Minister Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Nigeria and India have a lot to benefit from each other through development cooperation, the Budget and National Planning Minister, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, told the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr AbhayThakur, who visited him in Abuja on Thursday.

The Minister said that there are lots of potentials in Nigeria that India could tap while Nigeria has a lot to learn from India’s successes in the areas of technology, particularly rail and power, as well as human capital development.

He explained that the Buhari Administration is focused on bridging the infrastructure gap

in the country, particularly transportation and power infrastructure; and is very desirous of creating avenues to lift majority of Nigerians out of poverty through agriculture and other empowerment programmes.

President Buhari, he said, has a vision and dream of connecting every city and town in Nigeria with standard gauge rail lines; and Nigeria would stand to benefit from India’s experience as well as assistance in achieving the goal in the rail sector.

“This is an area we will like to collaborate with you to see how we can tap from India’s experience”, he said.

Like India, Nigeria has been working hard to bring down its poverty levels, which is why

the government is putting a lot of resources in the area of empowering poor and vulnerable persons and lifting them out of poverty. N500 billion is annually provided for in the national budget for social intervention programmes which are targeted at empowering the people so that they can be useful to themselves and society.

Udoma said although India is one of Nigeria’s largest trading partners, especially in crude oil, he would want the Asian country to buy more of Nigeria’s oil and also develop an interest in the country’s gas sector.

He assured the High Commissioner that the tempo of economic activities in the country will not slow down due to the forthcoming general

elections as “the President is not looking at the next election, but looking at the next generation with the purpose of taking Nigeria to the next level”.

The High Commissioner, Mr Thakur, who resumed work in Nigeria last month said India was willing to strengthen its development cooperation with Nigeria and would be glad if Nigeria can take advantage of some of the assistance programmes the Indian Government has made available to the African continent.

He pointed out that although the leaders of the two countries had some dreams about development cooperation in some critical areas, some of those dreams are yet to be transformed into real projects on the ground.

Nigeria targets 70% broadband penetration by 2021 - Shittu Ladesope Ladelokun The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu on Thursday in Abuja expressed the ministry’s commitment to attaining 70 per cent broadband penetration by 2021.

The minister said this at a post “Nigeria National Broadband Plan 2013

to 2018’’, organised by the Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON).

The event had as its theme “Success, Prospects and Challenges’’.

While applauding Federal Government’s efforts in moving from 18 to 31 per cent broadband connectivity between 2015 and 2019, Shittu said that more still needed to be done to attain greater feats.

According to him, within the last three

years, we have attained 31 per cent from 18 per cent.

“It might seem laudable and I think it calls for celebration but I think that as a dynamic country such as Nigeria with the huge population and potential, we should really be thinking much higher.

“My belief is that if we put all the current efforts together, in another two years we should be able to attain 70 per cent.

“My ambition is two years rather than the five years that is being postulated,’’ the minister said.

He explained that Nigeria would be redirecting efforts at using solar based masts to increase rural broadband connectivity.

The minister pointed out that the move would be facilitated by the 100 million dollars loan the country intends to access from India.

FG boosts export services with N350bn worth of promissory note — Awolowo Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Executive Director, Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Mr. Olusegun Awolowo said the Federal Government has approved N350 billion worth of promissory note to boost service exports.

Awolowo said this in Abuja on Thursday at the inauguration of NEPC Anti- Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU).

According to him, the promissory note will help reposition the council as well as ensure confidence in the system.

He said that the council would ensure the

promotion of export by 100 per cent in Nigeria by the end of 2019.

“In the next week, President Muhammadu Buhari is going to be inaugurating the new export credit certificate and the promissory note certificate.

“The promissory note is the indebtedness we carried over at our internship to export services.

“The whole system is now renewed, it is now an export credit certificate that is intended which you can use for charges, customs duties to settle debts and many others.

“We think with that, it will be a big boost to promote export again in Nigeria,’’ Awolowo said.

While inaugurating the NEPC/ACTU, he said that the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) had directed that every organisation must have the body to help with the process and guide against corruption.

According to him, corruption poses a serious development challenge in the society as it threatens sustainable administrative and economic development by infringing or undermining formal processes thereby, destabilising public confidence in government affairs.

He said that meaningful progress and development would not be achieved if concerted efforts were not taken to curb the

scourge of corruption in the public service.

“We are happy that we have complied with that and we thank the ICPC for coming to inaugurate them.

“ICPC will train them and also guide staff and management to exclude themselves from every corruption”, Awolowo said.

He said that the unit would help the council check companies with good standards, good products as the staff must not be found wanting.

“The world will have confidence in us because we are in full compliance with the laws of the land to promote Nigerian companies,’’ Awolowo said.

NLC calls for reconstitution of PENCOM board Joy Obakeye President of Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Mr. Ayuba Wabba, has called for the reconstitution of the National Pension Commission Board.

Wabba made the call on Thursday, during the investigative hearing into the activities of PENCOM from April 2017 to date and alleged violation of PENCOM reform Act. He explained that the law did not envisage at any point that the board would not be in place.

“That is why if you look at the Act when referring to the commission it says the commission shall be made up by a chairman, the director general, four commissioners, and the management staff.

“All of them together make up the board of management.

“Nowhere in the Act is it envisaged that the board will remain dissolved for a long time

and it will not be constituted.

“Apart from the chairman and the director general, the other four members are supposed to represent institutions including the pensioners themselves and the trade unions,” he said.

According to him, what is happening now is that “our heads were shaved in our absence and it is not supposed to be so.

“We demand that in respecting the Act the board should be put in place because every board member has a role to play.

“The board has been given clear responsibilities.

“If the board was in place all these questions would not have arisen because every interest including the interest of the contributor which was strategic would be protected.

“It is fundamental that we demand that this board be constituted because it is not like any other board. Our demand is that this Act is respected.

“It is a board that is saddled with the

responsibility of protecting the billions and trillions of Naira that belongs to the pensioners’’, he said.

The NLC president also called for stringent measures against non-remittance of pension contributions by employers.

“It is a clear violation of the provision of pension Act for any employer to deduct employer-employee contribution and fails to remit.

“On the issue of violation, let me say emphatically that there are employers that deduct and don’t remit. I can give you a lot of instances.

“In Ogun today, we have a case of about 106 months, the deduction has been made, remittance has not been made.

“Therefore, we want a very stringent measure to be taken including payment of interest where such a situation is identified.

“We must ensure that the funds are safe and are remitted as at when due,” he said.

Wabba said: “as you are aware everything

we are talking about including the funds belongs to the workers who are potential pensioners.

“Therefore everything about the money belongs to the workers.

“When people hear of trillions of Naira in pension funds, they think the money does not belong to anybody. The money belongs to somebody who is a worker today.

“His expectation is that the money should be invested in a very secured business that will be yielding interest that he will benefit from.

“Pencom is a regulator that is supposed to regulate these funds and ensure that all regulations first safeguard the funds and secondly yield a maximum return to the end beneficiary who is the pensioner.’’

Wabba drew attention to the issue of gratuity, which he said was very critical.

“I am not sure that there is anywhere in the law that gratuity was abolished because if we pay severance it also means that the worker is entitled to gratuity”, he said.

There will be no elections in Rivers if Tonye Cole is not on ballot, APC declares Patrick Okohue The All Progressives Congress (APC) Director of Strategic Communications for the Campaign, Prince Tonye Princewill, has said that elections won’t be conducted in Rivers State if APC candidates do not participate.

He therefore told the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to “get ready for the presidential elections, but state House of Assembly, National Assembly and the governorship elections must be a separate exercise set aside for a special date.”

He stated this at a press briefing in Rivers State on Thursday.

Although a Court of Appeal had ruled a stay of execution on an earlier order by a Federal High Court to bar APC candidates in Rivers State from contesting elections, on Wednesday, INEC said its position on the matter had not changed.

According to Princewill, conducting elections in Rivers State without the APC and its candidates would be “an exercise in futility”.

He said: “Of course, we are not yet on the ballot; it’s a process. INEC by now has received the first order and in another day or so, will receive the second one. Then their lawyers will advise them and at a meeting of the powers that be, a decision will be taken.

That decision will be to obey the law. We expect nothing less. If they don’t, then it will be lawful to be lawless in a lawless society. There will be no elections in Rivers State.

“We knew Wike had penetrated the judiciary; every day the signs are revealed. We know he has also penetrated some of our security agencies, but we do not want to believe he has penetrated our electoral body at the highest levels.

“We are soon about to find out. Let us be patient. These things take time.

Our money that he is using will be traced to its last hiding place when he leaves office. We know a lot about who he is working with. Money leaves a trace, and in this government, corruption will always come with consequences.”

He went on to describe the PDP as an “accident waiting to happen”, and advised all those with good conscience still sitting inside it, to “jump for safety before the inevitable crash or have themselves to blame.”

“Wike is a learner driver. He has no business driving the vehicle of Rivers State and everyone knows it. Even he knows it. He can use money to win awards, ascribe bogus titles to himself, get biased media coverage, even delay justice, but he can’t use our money to bribe God. Judgement is coming for him and it is coming soon,” he added.

On the schedule of campaigns, he noted that while being on the ballot was necessary, allowing the APC

candidates time to go about their campaigns, as had been denied them, was only fair because “their campaigns were gaining momentum before legal gymnastics stepped in.”

He continued: “PDP should be very ashamed that after four good years, their candidate could not go from ward to ward to tell them what he has done.

Instead he has stumbled from LGA to LGA headquarters with more people in his entourage than indigenes to receive him, only to drop sound bites and share N2,000 to willing takers.

“His mate (even though we are yet to ascertain Nyesom Wike’s actual age) and our candidate, Tonye Cole, has gone from ward to ward in every LGA and had done 236 wards out of 319 before a judge, Magnus and Wike stopped him using the law. Magnus is not our focus. He is our lost brother whom we wish well. His room is there if he returns. Our focus is Wike and nothing will distract us from demystifying his perceived grassroots’ appeal, his supposed strong man status and his recent Mungo Park like discovery of spirituality.

“Tonye Cole and others must be allowed to finish their campaigns.

Anything short of that cannot be just and we will contest it. INEC should get ready for the presidential elections, but state House of Assembly, National Assembly and the governorship elections must be a separate exercise set aside for a special date.”

INEC reassures Ebonyi people of credible, fair, free elections The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ebonyi State, Prof. Godswill Obioma has reiterated the commitment of the commission to conduct credible, transparent and violence-free elections in Ebonyi.

Obioma spoke on Wednesday in Abakaliki, at a stakeholders’ forum held at the INEC headquarters.

The forum according to Obioma, is the last in series of stakeholders meetings designed by the commission to update stakeholders on activities preparatory for the smooth conduct of the 2019 general elections.

Obioma informed the forum that all was set for the conduct of the presidential, national assembly, governorship and state houses of assembly elections slated for Feb. 16 and March 2.

He reassured the electorate that the commission remained non-partisan, neutral and committed to conducting free, transparent and credible elections in Ebonyi.

“We will not only conduct free, fair and credible elections, but we will be

seen to have conducted an election that meets international best standard.

“All votes that are legitimately cast would be counted, while votes that are not properly cast would not be counted, and we will not award votes won by any candidate to another candidate.

“We are going to be bound by the oaths which we have sworn to uphold the integrity of the elections and to maintain high ethical standard in our conduct.

“We assure the people of Ebonyi that INEC under our watch in Ebonyi will ensure that all votes must count in the elections.

“We have seamlessly recruited and trained over 13,000 ad-hoc staff to serve in various categories of the INEC ad-hoc duties in the elections,” Obioma said.

He implored all registered voters in the state who were yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to do so before the Feb. 8 deadline, adding that 199,000 PVCs, were yet to be collected.

He appealed to politicians and candidates of the various political parties to avoid the use of hate

speeches and other inflammatory remarks during their campaigns to avoid heating up the polity.

The resident commissioner also cautioned against vote buying and selling and appealed to the stakeholders to sensitise their people against trading with their PVCs. Obioma further urged the electorate to vote properly to reduce the incidence of rejected or invalid votes.

He said that people without right thumbs would be allowed to thumb print on the ballot paper with the left thumb, while those without both thumbs would use the right big toe to vote.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the interactive stakeholders forum was attended by town union leaders, traditional rulers, students bodies, Civil Society Organisations, security agencies, leaders of registered political parties, among others.

NAN also reports that representatives of the European Union (EU) election observer teams were present at the meeting.

Barely 24 hours after complaining about inability to get PVC, Aare Adams receives voters’ card Seeks extension of distribution of PVC to Tuesday Barely 24 hours after issuing a statement raising an alaem about his inability to collect his Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and warning the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to disenfranchise him and members of his family, INEC officials yesterday presented the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams and wife, Ayinba Mojisola with their PVCs in their Omole Phase 11 Lagos home.

The INEC officials led by Mrs. Grace Asemoloye who arrived the home of the Adams a few minutes before 10 am on Thursday, to hand over the voters’ expressed regrets at the delay.

In his remarks, Adams, expressed appreciation to the leadership of INEC, urging the electoral umpire to ensure that all registered and eligible Nigerians are able to vote at the polls.

“I raised the alarm when it became suspicious that INEC is yet to release my voters’ card and that of my wife a few days to the general elections. But now, having made it known to the world through the statement, I feel honoured that the

same body retraced its steps and presented my PVCs and that of my wife to me. This is a welcome development, coming at a time when preparations for the elections are in top gear.

“Let me say it once again, that the problem is not about me, and the rest of my family, however, it is about millions of Nigerians that are fit and eligible to vote and exercise their civic rights.

“Eligible Nigerians must be allowed to vote and this is possible when the PVCs are available. For instance in Oyo State, about 800,000 people are yet to collect their PVCs, and that is too bad. Therefore, I am using this opportunity to appeal to the INEC boss, Prof. Mahmod Yakub, to extend the date for the collection of PVCs to Tuesday 12 of February, even as campaigns for electoral offices end by Thursday, 14th of February, so that a good number of Nigerians will have the opportunity to vote.

“The 2015 experience, when about 40 percent of Nigerians in the South West were disenfranchised, was sad and not too good for us,” he said.

FIFA rankings: Nigeria retains 4th position in Africa

Nigeria has retained her fourth position in Africa but dropped two places from her previous 44th position in FIFA Coca Cola World Rankings released on Thursday.

Nigeria also retained her 1,427 points from the previous list in December.

The first ranking of the year also saw Asian champions, Qatar, climb to 55th in the world, gaining 38 places and reaching their best position since 1993.

According to FIFA statement, the Asian Cup has been responsible for the notable changes in the rankings, with the scarcity of games in other confederations leaving the top 20 unchanged, and Belgium still in pole position.

Further down the table, Qatar is not the only team to have ascended in spectacular style.

Fellow finalists, Japan (27th, up 23) have also soared up the order, while Korea Republic (38th, up 15), United Arab Emirates (67th, up 12) MRS BLESSING OBIANUJU

and Jordan (97th, up 12), all registered double-digit gains.

There were also significant upward moves by the likes of Iraq (80th, up 8), Iran (22nd, up 7) and Uzbekistan (89th, up 6).

Another consequence of these changes is that Asia has boosted its numbers in the Ranking’s top 50.

The Asian Football Confederation is now represented by four teams up, one on the last edition, and now stands level with Africa, whose numbers have been depleted

by Congo DR (51st, down 2), dropping out.

Meanwhile, Senegal retains her top spot among CAF teams with 1,505 points and 24th in the world with Tunisia following closely with 1,493 points on 28th place.

Behind is Morrocco who garnered 1,440 points after descending three places, from 40th placed in the previous list to 43rd.

The next rankings will be published on April 4.
