‘World Bank forecasts dark prospect for global economies in 2019’ Continued from page 1 Tuesday, said that international trade and manufacturing activity have softened, trade tensions remain elevated, and some large emerging markets have experienced substantial financial market pressures.

World Bank Chief Executive Officer, Kristalina Georgieva, observed that at the beginning of 2018, the global economy was firing on all cylinders, but it lost speed during the year and the ride could get even bumpier in the year ahead.

Growth among advanced economies is forecast to drop to 2 percent this year, the January 2019 Global Economic Prospects stated.

Slowing external demand, rising borrowing costs, and persistent policy uncertainties are expected to weigh on the outlook for emerging market and developing economies.

Growth for this group is anticipated to hold steady at a weaker-than-expected 4.2 percent this year.

The World Bank CEO, Georgieva advised that as economic and financial headwinds intensify for emerging and developing countries, the world’s progress in reducing extreme poverty could be jeopardised.

For Nigeria and other SubSaharan African countries, the World Bank said that the recovery albeit at a softer pace adding that growth in the region is estimated to have increased from 2.6 percent in 2017 to 2.7 percent in 2018, slower than expected, partly due to weaknesses in Nigeria, South Africa, and Angola.

The region faced a tougher external environment in 2018 due to moderating global trade, tighter financial conditions, and a stronger U.S. dollar, the report stated.

“Growth in Nigeria picked up to 1.9 percent but oil production fell mid-year and non-oil activity was dampened by lackluster consumer demand

and disputes that disrupted crop production.

On Nigeria’s economic outlook, the global economic prospect said that growth in Nigeria is expected to rise to 2.2 percent in 2019, assuming that oil production will recover and a slow improvement in private demand will constrain growth in the non-oil industrial sector.

Angola is forecast to grow 2.9 percent in 2019 as the oil sector recovers as new oil fields come on stream and as reforms bolster the business environment.

South Africa is projected to accelerate modestly to a 1.3 percent pace, amid constraints on domestic demand and limited government spending.

In Angola, the region’s second largest oil exporter, the economy contracted by 1.8 percent as oil production shrank. South Africa’s economy grew by 0.9 percent in 2018 as it emerged from a technical recession in the second of the year, in part due to improved activity in agriculture and manufacturing.

However, growth remained subdued as challenges in the mining sector and weak construction activity were compounded by policy uncertainty and low business confidence.

“To keep the momentum, countries need to invest in people, foster inclusive growth, and build resilient societies,” the World Bank Chief said.

The upswing in commodity exporters has stagnated, while activity in commodity importers is decelerating. Per capita growth will be insufficient to narrow the income gap with advanced economies in about 35 percent of emerging market and developing economies in 2019, with the share increasing to 60 percent in countries affected by fragility, conflict, and violence.

“A number of developments could act as a further brake on activity. A sharper tightening in borrowing costs could depress capital inflows and lead to slower growth in many emerging market and developing economies.

“Past increases in public and private debt could heighten vulnerability to swings in financing conditions and market sentiment,” the report stated.

It further warned that intensifying trade tensions could result in weaker global growth and disrupt globally interconnected value chains.

Regional growth is expected to accelerate to 3.4 percent in 2019, predicated on diminished policy uncertainty and improved investment in large economies together with continued robust growth in non- resource intensive countries.

Per capita growth is forecast to remain well below the longterm average in many countries, yielding little progress in poverty reduction.

Risks to the regional outlook are tilted to the downside.

Slower-than-projected growth in the Euro Area and China would adversely affect the region through lower export demand and investment.

Metals producers in the region would likely be hard-hit by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Faster- than-expected normalization of advancedeconomy monetary policy could result in sharp reductions in capital inflows, higher financing costs and abrupt exchangerate depreciations. Increased reliance on foreign currency borrowing has heightened refinancing and interest rate risk in debtor countries.

Domestic risks, in particular, remain elevated. Political uncertainty and a concurrent weakening of economic reforms could continue to weigh on the economic outlook in many countries. In countries holding elections in 2019 (e.g., Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa), domestic political considerations could undermine the commitments needed to rein in fiscal deficits or implement structural reforms, especially where public debt levels are high and rising.

Second Niger Bridge to be delivered in 2022 – Contractor John Ndu, Awka The contractor handling the construction of the Second Niger Bridge, Julius Berger Construction Company has disclosed that with the present determination of the Federal Government, the bridge will be delivered in February 2022.

The Project Director of the company, Fredrick Wieser, who stated this on Tuesday when Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, paid an inspection visit to the site in Onitsha, added that the construction would be in three

different phases.

Engr. Wieser noted that the Federal Government had made advance payment of 15 percent, which was N30 billion mobilisation.

He said: “The Bridge is 1.6 km while the access road from Asaba end is 3.3 km and 7km from Anambra end.

“Right now, we are doing foundation work in the river which will be 50 meters deep.

The pilling work in the river is 15 meters above water level to allow free flow of ship”.

He, however, pointed that with the present determination of the federal government, the Project would be delivered in

February 28th, 2022.

Speaking earlier, Governor Willie Obiano, expressed satisfaction with the standard of work which is ongoing at the second Niger Bridge.

He expressed confidence that the Federal Government under President Buhari would deliver the bridge as scheduled.

The Governor highlighted that the second Niger Bridge when completed would be a good potential to the people of the South East.

He expressed happiness to the Federal Government for its determination in intervening in all the federal projects in the South East.

Vote out govs who owe salaries, Buhari tells Nigerians Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians not to re-elect governors who failed to pay civil servants salaries even after collecting bailouts from the Federal Government.

Buhari, who is also seeking re-election on the platform of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), said Nigerians’ votes should go for competence.

The President spoke with the Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA), which was aired on Tuesday morning.

He said that he saw no justification in governors collecting bailout funds from the Federal Government and still failing to pay wages.

Buhari was quoted as saying, “I wonder how these governors are able to sleep knowing that they have refused to pay workers their wages.

“These workers have families to cater for, they pay rent, pay school fees, Hospital bills and food for their families.”

According to Buhari, the 1999 Constitution (as amended) gives governors the

independence to spend their funds without interference and that is why some are abusing that privilege by refusing to work for the people.

The president advised Nigerians to use their voting rights to make sure that they only vote for people who would deliver.

On the fight against corruption being undertaken by his administration, the president said unlike before, he now uses democratic means.

He added that being democratic in fighting corruption is slow but assured that the objectives will eventually be achieved.

Some of the state governors owing workers’ salaries and seeking re-election in the forthcoming general elections include Benue, Kogi, Bauchi, Plateau, Taraba, Niger, Abia, Delta, and Sokoto.

The Daily Times gathered that as at July, 2017, a total of N1.75 trillion was given to states as extra-statutory allocation known as bailout since the advent of President Buhari’s administration.

Bailout in 2015, a salary loan of about N338 billion,

was disbursed to states. The term of the loan was 20-year and the purpose of the loan was to help states facing fiscal strain meet outstanding salary obligations at an interest rate of 9% approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

This was swiftly followed by the N575 billion restructuring programme bond. The Federal Government negotiated this debt package through the Debt Management Office to allow states convert high interest bank debt into a 20 year tenured debt with interest rates set at 14.83%.

With the exception of Ogun State, 23 states were immediate beneficiaries. However, the actual sum disbursed was not made public.

Again, in July 2015, the Federal Government remitted approximately N92.18bn to states from dividends worth $2.1bn paid to the centre by Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG).

Barely a year later, was the sum of N7.85bn also approved by the Federal Government to assist states with revenue short falls in January 2016 from the dividend remitted by NLNG. In July 2016, the Federal

UN: Nigeria lost $2.8bn to ‘oil-related crimes’ in 2018 Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The United Nations says Nigeria lost an estimated 2.8 billion dollars in revenues in 2018, mainly due to oil-related crimes.

This is according to a new ‘Report by the SecretaryGeneral on the activities of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS)’ on Monday in New York.

The report, which covered from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, said “Maritime crime and piracy off the coast of West Africa continued to pose a threat to peace, security and development in the region.

“Oil-related crimes resulted in the loss of nearly 2.8 billion dollars in revenues last year in Nigeria, according to government figures.

“Between January 1 and November 23, there were 82 reported incidents of maritime crime and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.’’

The report also noted that

compared to the situation reflected in the previous report, there was an increase in drug trafficking throughout West Africa and the Sahel.

“In Benin, the Gambia and Nigeria, more than 50 kilogrammes of cocaine were seized between July and October by joint airport interdiction task forces.

“During the same period, joint airport interdiction task forces seized more than six kilogrammes of methamphetamines, eight kilogramme of heroin (double the amount in the first half of 2018) and 2.6 tonnes of cannabis.

“Drug production across the region was also reportedly on the rise, with more than 100 kilogrammes of ephedrine and phenacetin seized by competent authorities,’’ the report said.

During the reporting period, it said that conflicts between farmers and herders resulted in loss of lives, destruction of livelihoods and property,

population displacements and human rights violations and abuses.

The report said outbreaks of violence were recorded in many states across Nigeria, although with more frequency in the Middle Belt region, as well as Adamawa and Taraba.

It said the spike in conflict between farmers and herders was closely linked with demographic pressures, desertification and the attendant loss of grazing reserves and transhumance routes, which had been exacerbated by climate change.

Others were challenges in the implementation of effective land management and climate change adaptation policies, and limited enforcement of existing pastoral laws.

Political and economic interests, the erosion of traditional conflict resolution mechanisms, and weapons proliferation, were other factors attributed to the increased cases of herdersfarmers conflict.

Buhari

Government endorsed the allocation of N3.6bn from solid minerals savings to states as part of the routine monthly FAAC disbursements.

A total of N117.3bn was also disbursed to states, amount taken from excess revenue generated from Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT).

Ordinarily, this should go into the Excess Crude Account, but it was speedily distributed between the federal and state governments. In all, a total of N1.75 trillion has been disbursed to states as extrastatutory fund but little is known about how the funds had been spent.

Justice Abba-Aji appointment to S’Court, victory for judiciary, says CJN Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, on Tuesday, said the appointment of Justice Uwani Abba Aji to the bench of the Supreme Court was a victory for the Judiciary and democracy.

Onnoghen stated this while swearing in Justice Aji as justice of the Supreme Court. Justice Aji, who was elevated from the Court of Appeal after 14 years at the Court of Appeal bench, brings the number of female justices currently serving at the apex court to four.

CJN said that the decision

by President Muhammadu Buhari approving Justice Aji appointment offered hope for integrity.

“Today is a great day in the history of Nigerian judiciary as not only witnessing the swearing in but a victory for the Judiciary in particular and legal practitioners”, he stated.

He specially thanked the President for the decision.

Justice Onnoghen said that as judges, “we must have to take hard decisions so be courageous in taking decision on matters before you.”

He said that Justice Aji earned

the appointment to the Supreme Bench by her hard work, and the reward for hard work in the bench is more work.

He said his earlier directive that any matter slated for hearing in particular date must be heard on that date.

He noted that election matters will further put pressure on the bench considering the work load he had outlined.

“Your work ethic and integrity are what got you here and I urge you to do even more to leave your footprints on the sands of time in this Court.

“On behalf of my Brother Justices, I wholeheartedly welcome you to the Supreme Court of Nigeria and wish you a successful time on the Bench of Nigeria’s apex court,” the CJN added.

No president invested in lifting people from poverty like Buhari – Gov Bello Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has urged Nigerians to support the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 16 polls saying that no president in the history of the country has invested more in lifting people out of poverty like Buhari.

The Governor said this on Tuesday while addressing a tumultuously crowd at a rally organized at Eagles Square, Abuja by a group, Drive 4 Buhari/Osinbajo 2019.

According to the governor, President Buhari has justified his mandate by executing programs and projects with direct bearing on the people of the nation.

“No President has invested in the process of lifting the poor from poverty like President Muhammadu Buhari. The SIP has been his vehicle for advancing his anti-poverty Agenda for the nation.

“Under President

Muhammadu Buhari, road projects were executed across the nation and healthcare delivery has been wonderful. Above all, we have been able to get the support of the international community in our efforts to diversify the economy because they trust our President. They know he is transparent and focused on taking Nigeria to the Next Level.

“In Nigeria today, we have two banks. Buhari Bank and Atiku Bank. Which bank will you put your money? “ Bello challenged APC supporters to continue to campaign for the reelection of Mr President and the Vice President because they represent “Africa’s Finest” in the areas of integrity and performance.

He urged canvassers to focus on the “programs and hope offered by the APC-led administration rather than dwelling on the failure of 16 years under the PDP”.

“We must stop reminding Nigerians of the years of locust. For 16 years, our nation was robbed and deprived

of development.

Buhari/ Osinbajo has brought hope and development.

“Our pride as a nation is back.

Corruption and insurgency have been dealt big blows and we are assured the duo will lead our nation to the next Level”.

Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo tasked the Support Group to continue to

work hard to ensure victory for the All Progressives Congress, assuring the nation of the commitment of the Buhari administration to continue to ensure the progress of the nation.

He said that their administration will continue to reduce the poverty level of the people of Nigeria through empowerment.

Feb 16 presidential poll, Nigeria’s date with destiny – Osinbajo Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

The February 16, 2019 Presidential election will be Nigeria’s date with destiny as it will determine whether the country will make progress or go back to the days of corruption and impunity, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. The Vice President stated this in Abuja on Tuesday when he addressed a cross-section of Nigerians at the “Drive 4 Buhari/ Osinbajo Rally” - an initiative of the “I am Ready Campaign Group”, organised to mobilise support for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

His words: “February 16, 2019 is our date! It is the date of our country with destiny; that is the date we will decide whether we want to go forward or we want to go backwards.

“All that President Buhari has tried to do in these past four years, is first of all, clean up the big mess that we met. The major problem of our country has always been corruption; stealing of the resources of the people.

I have never heard it before, where a person after stealing your money says: “I am the one who can come back and help you”.

The “Drive 4 Buhari Osinbajo” Rally – one of the highpoints of Prof. Osinbajo’s Tuesday outings, started as early as 9 am with thousands of volunteers within and around the FCT converging on the Eagle Square arena to register their support for the Buhari presidency.

The drive-through rally involved thousands of volunteers many of whom drove their cars and tricycles adorned with President Buhari and

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s posters from satellite towns of Gwagwalada, Zuba, Nyanya, Kuje and other suburbs of the FCT, through the various parts of the city to the Eagle Square, all indicating their support for Buhari’s re-election.

At the Eagle Square, thousands of admirers and supporters of Buhari and Osinbajo chanted victory songs to welcome the Vice President as he made a grand entrance into the arena for the final phase of the programme.

Also on ground to spice up the event were entertainers who danced and sang popular songs to the admiration of all.

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said the choice of whom to vote for in the coming elections should not be very difficult as President Buhari is renowned for his integrity, adding that “even Buhari’s worst enemies know that he is an honest man, even the thieves know that he is an honest man.”

Speaking specifically about the programmes and projects executed by the Buhari-led Federal Government, the Vice President said the achievements recorded so far were as a result of prudent and transparent management of resources.

He said: “For the first time, our country is spending money on roads and railways. They have been talking about railways since, for the past 16 years, but we have just started building the Lagos – Kano railway now.

“We are earning less money but we are doing far more. We are also building the Itakpe - Warri railway and even the 2nd Niger Bridge. They commissioned the 2nd Niger Bridge before, but when they commissioned it, there was no design. Today, we have

started to build the 2nd Niger Bridge.

“In every state in Nigeria, we are building a major road; we are going to complete the Lagos – Calabar railway, by the grace of God, Port Harcourt – Maiduguri is also going to be completed.”

In the Power Sector, Prof.

Osinbajo said “after 16 years, 3000MW of power is all that we had, but today we are at 7000MW. But we have not even started yet, because we know that power is still a problem, so we are trying to solve the problem.”

He said the Federal Government in its determination to address the challenge had adopted measures to address issues of both generation and transmission.

“In Sabon Gari market, we have a separate solar power plant and many of the shops have power now. In Ariaria market in Abia, we have also done the same thing, we also did the same thing in Sura market in Lagos, and we also put power in Edaiken market in Benin.

“Very soon, our country will have enough power with the plan that we have, to provide power separately, only through the National Grid, but to provide power to the different parts of our country so that our country will have power”, the Vice President added.

Osinbajo assured Nigerians that “President Buhari has a plan, and he is an honest man, and he is making sure that he executes that plan.”

Earlier, the Vice President on Tuesday inaugurated the Buhari Media Centre; continued the Family Chat series, all in Gwarimpa and also interacted with artisans and traders at the UTC complex and the Tipper Garage market, all in the FCT.

At the UTC Plaza in Area 10 - a popular printing hub in the FCT, the Vice President paid a visit to artisans and traders, interacting with them on the activities and programmes of the Federal Government.

On arrival at the plaza, the Vice President was welcomed amidst cheers and dancing by the mammoth crowd.

Osinbajo interacted with some artisans and traders at the plaza, assuring them of a better Nigeria with President Buhari on the saddle beyond 2019.

Earlier in Gwarimpa, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo inaugurated the Buahri Media Centre in Abuja and had a brief interaction with Nigerians via a live Facebook interview on the activities and programmes of the Buhari administration.

He said: “There is no reason why young Nigerians can’t be trained and equipped for outsourced jobs from big technology firms around the world to troubleshoot and handle customer care questions and be paid by those global tech firms. This explains the Federal Government’s push towards technology.”

The Vice President emphasised that the business of improving Nigeria’s economy is not just by talking and wondered why “those trying to come back did nothing, for example, to fix the LagosIbadan expressway or the Second Niger Bridge for which there was not even a design until the Buhari presidency did it”.

He also made an unscheduled stop at the Tipper Garage Market in Gwarimpa where he interacted briefly with traders, shoppers and people in the market, many of whom received him with cheers and singing in what was an exciting atmosphere.

The Presidency has called on the National Peace Committee to act on what it described as a violation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of the peace accord signed by presidential candidates in December.

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, accused the PDP presidential campaign organisation of bad faith, character assassination and inflammatory utterances.

Shehu noted that the open and unsubstantiated allegations against the President’s family by the Atiku Abubakar media campaign contravenes the spirit of the peace accord that was signed at the instance of former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Bishop Mathew Kukah and other eminent public figures who constitute the committee.

“Dragging the President’s family into the campaign and accusing them of wrongdoing without producing unassailable evidence, amounts to an act of bad faith and malice.

“Instead of concentrating their efforts on persuading Nigerians on why they should be trusted to rule again after 16 years of failure, the PDP presidential campaign organisation is seeking to divert public attention from the large scale corruption and havoc it wreaked on the country during its 16 years of misrule,” he said.

He added that more than one week after accusing President Buhari’s family of corruption and wrong doing, the PDP presidential campaign still cannot provide proof of the allegations against them, despite being encouraged by the Presidency and the public to do so.

“Instead, they are ridiculously expecting the accused to prove their own allegations instead of it being the other way round,” the presidential spokesman said.

Accusing the PDP presidential campaign of being indolent and poor in research, Shehu noted that it was irresponsible to go public with allegations that they could not prove, describing that as something other than politics.

“It is sheer desperation and a clear sign of disarray in the PDP campaign,” he said.

Only Buhari showed concern on abandoned projects in Lagos – Ambode Benjamin Omoike, Lagos The Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday officially flagged off its campaign towards the 2019 general elections, with the State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, urging voters in the State to massively support all the candidates of the party to ensure continuity of good governance.

Addressing scores of party members and leaders at the rally held at Skypower Ground in G.R.A, Ikeja, Governor Ambode said it was on record that only President Muhammadu Buhari showed concern about abandoned infrastructure in Lagos and was working on their renewal in conjunction with the State Government, saying it was time for residents to support the candidates of the party across all levels to consolidate on the gains so far recorded.

The Governor, who was at the rally with his wife, Bolanle, said the forthcoming elections would not be about religion or ethnicity, but basically about the need to return a government that had showed genuine care for the people, adding that it was clear that the President had walked the talk.

“At the national level, we have only one choice, the choice of continuity is what we want and we need continuity and consolidation. We need to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

“This election at the national level is not about religion neither is it about tribe. It is about those who have the poor at heart. You know at the national level, we are already doing TraderMoni, we are doing N-Power and we are

already doing Employment Trust Fund, among other things.

“We know that we would be glad to have Muhammadu Buhari as the next President in this country; all the abandoned infrastructure that we have had in this State, it is only Muhammadu Buhari that has been propagating the renewal and so we are very conscious that we need to continue voting for the APC,” Governor Ambode said.

At the State level, the Governor said from 1999 till date, Lagos had continued to witness progressive growth, and there was need to support the candidates put forward by the APC to consolidate and further take the State to higher levels.

He said: “The first question to ask is why we have been experiencing progressive growth in the last 20 years in Lagos and the answer is very simple - that is because I have had predecessors that have actually delivered on their promises starting from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Babatunde Raji Fashola and to myself.

“It has been 20 years of progressive growth and it has been under one single party, APC. We have had an uninterrupted continuity of governance in the last 20 years and that is why you can corroborate that with other things that are happening with the development and growth of Lagos State.

“Now, what I seek from all of you is the continuous growth and continuity in this State and for us to continue in that governance spirit, that is why we have no other choice than the choice of our party. In this context of this country, our party – APC is the party to trust and also the party that we can rely on.”

FG to launch national campaign to Short News rally support for military Lagos launches reality TV show on Tom Okpe, Abuja The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has disclosed that his Ministry will soon launch massive national campaign in support of the Military, especially in their fight against insurgency and insecurity.

The Minister, while briefing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday said that the campaign is to support men and women of the Nigerian Military who have sacrificed their lives for the nation.

He said: “We are planning to launch a national campaign to rally support for the military. We believe the men and women who are risking all 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”.

He noted that the campaign, which will be similar to the previous ones launched by the ministry on burning issues such as

fake news and hate speech, insurgency and the fight against corruption will mobilise Nigerians irrespective of their political leanings to show support for the military.

“I think it is high time that everybody, irrespective of political affiliation should join in supporting the 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. So, very soon, you will expect to hear from us on this campaign to support the military in the fight against not just insurgency but in the fight against insecurity”, he said.

The Minister decried how some Nigerians, particularly opposition politicians, have made it their past-time to wage a campaign of disinformation against the military on the social media, saying such unpatriotic acts are discouraging and demoralizing to the men and women in

uniform.

“I think the biggest opposition probably today that the military has is probably not Boko Haram, it’s probably the Social Media because it’s so uncontrolled. Today, video clips are doctored and clips of happenings in other lands are now reported and sent out as if they are happening in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, there is no one to hold responsible. This is very discouraging and it demoralizes the military.

“That brings me to the bigger issue of overall support for our military. Recent developments are disturbing. Without consideration for national security, military plans are recklessly revealed. Not even in the United States, the bastion of democracy does this happen”.

Alhaji Mohammed said though the government would neither censor nor gag the media, journalists must strike a balance between the constitutionally-guaranteed freedom to receive and impart information and national security.

rescue operations

…Reiterates commitment to prompt, effective response to emergencies

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said it has launched a reality television programme to showcase the efforts and strategies of emergency management agencies before, during and after rescue operations, with the view to deepen safety of lives and property in the State.

The State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Kehinde Bamigbetan who said this while addressing a press conference at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said the programme, tagged ‘Lagos Rescue’, was also designed to enlighten residents of their responsibilities during emergency situations.

He said the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, in the last three and half years, had invested massively in safety of lives and property and towards enhancing the activities of emergency management agencies, adding that the new initiative was another demonstrable commitment to the welfare of the people.

According to Bamigbetan, “Lagos Rescue is an initiative of the Lagos State Government to showcase the efforts of the State Emergency Management Agencies at addressing emergencies in order to ensure the safety of lives and property. The programme is also meant to highlight the roles and responsibilities of the citizenry during emergencies for regular smooth operation.

New Minimum Wage: Ondo workers protest no transmission of bill to National Assembly Adewale Momoh, Akure Civil servants in Ondo state on Tuesday joined their colleagues in other states of the country as well as the Federal Capital Territory to protest the continued delay in the proposed N30,000 new National Minimum Wage.

The protest came up after a last minute attempt by the federal government to forestall the demonstration which allegedly failed on Monday night.

As early as 7am, the organised labour in the state converged on Adegbemile Cultural Centre where they mobilised workers for a peaceful demonstration in Akure, the state capital.

The peaceful demonstration took the workers through the major routes of Akure before terminating it at the Governor’s office, Alagbaka, Akure.

At the Governor’s office, where they submitted a letter, they demanded that President, Muhammadu Buhari submit a bill to the parliament for

the implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage for workers.

President, Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, who addressed the workers in Akure, said the protest became imperative in order to ensure that the process for the transmission of the new minimum wage to the National Assembly is hastened.

The NLC President, who was represented by Comrade Yemisi Bamgbose further maintained that the protest was about implementation and it has no link with any political parties.

Meanwhile, the letter written by the labour unions to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu reads, “Your Excellency will recall the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage, comprising the government, organised private sector and organised labour has concluded its work and submitted the report with a draft bill to President Muhammadu Buhari on 6th November, 2018.

“It is also noteworthy that six

governors were members of the committee that worked out the new National minimum wage. Therefore, it stands to reason that the report and draft bill were the collective efforts of the broadest spectrum of all concerned parties and should thus commend the support of every governor.

“Therefore, the organised labour would wish to obtain from your Excellency a commitment to the speedy implementation of the new national minimum wage of N30,000 when enacted into law.

“While counting on your Excellency to make the best endeavour to express agreement with thus patriotic, convey our polite gesture to your colleagues the enlightened public, generally and advance the cause of the new national minimum wage, we advise that: the political behaviour of Nigeria workers is contingent upon the commitment to the expeditious enactment of the new national minimum wage by the legislature before the polls.

A socio- political and pressure group in Akwa Ibom, the Peace and Development Initiative said it has discovered plans by former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio in conspiracy with the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Presidential Election Collation Officer, Mrs Amina Zakari to hijack all elections in the state in favour of All Progressive Congress (APC) party.

It has also expressed worries that the personal relationship of a brother of Mrs Zakari with the state APC leader, Senator Akpabio could also influence the electoral process and result collation for the polls in Akwa Ibom.

“Of concern for us in Akwa Ibom is the fact that a younger brother of Mrs Zakari is one of the closest personal friends of our own Senator Godswill Akpabio who is also the leader of APC in Akwa Ibom. They have been friends since their secondary school years in Federal Government College in Port Harcourt. We are not losing sight of this and its implications on the outcome of the State and Federal elections in Akwa Ibom,” the group said.

In a statement made available to Correspondent in Uyo on Tuesday and endorsed by its President and Secretary, Tom Chris Morgan and Henry Bassey respectively, the group observed that by the appointment of Mrs Zakari as the Presidential Election collation Officer, the INEC boss has displayed partiality to manage and withstand pressures from vested interests in the election.

Ugwuanyi deserves second term like his predecessors, says Nwodo Moses Oyediran, Enugu The former Governor of old Enugu State and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo has reiterated his support and that of the people of Igbo Etiti Local Government Area for the re-election bid of Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in the forthcoming general election.

Dr. Nwodo who is also the former National Chairman of the PDP, maintained that “Gov. Ugwuanyi deserves unbroken two terms in office just like his predecessors from Enugu East and Enugu West Senatorial Districts”.

Speaking during the inauguration of “Gburugburu Campaign Council, IgboEtiti LGA Chapter” held at Ogbede, the council’s headquarters, Dr. Nwodo, who serves as the Chairman, stated that the massive infrastructural development across the three senatorial districts of Enugu State, the prevailing atmosphere of peace and security of lives and property in the State, and above all, the governor’s praise-worthy disposition in putting the welfare of the state workers in the front burner, are eloquent testimonies to his outstanding performance.

APC lucky to have Oshiomhole - Lamido Adamawa Tom Okpe, Abuja The Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is lucky to have Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as its National Chairman.

The revered Royal Father who disclosed this when Oshiomhole and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party paid him a courtesy visit at his palace, asserted that Oshiomhole has all it takes to lead the party to victory come 2019.

Oshiomhole was accompanied to the palace by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha and Director General of the President Muhammadu Buhari Presidential campaign, Rotimi Amaechi and several other National Assembly members.

Insecurity: Their excellencies’ alarm

Kayode Robert Idowu

Two state governors last week redflagged the porous security profile of their respective state, which they considered yet heading southwards. Their rallying cry was that there is need for urgent and concerted action by stakeholders, along with government, to arrest the dire trend.

Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, on Monday, owned up that the insurgency challenge in his domain was worsening despite willful optimism on his part, which all along had made him confess the contrary. But he argued that the way out was not to resort to blaming security agents who were putting their lives on the line to staunch the crisis. Rather, the governor said, all interests concerned should step up to strengthening the counter-insurgency forces towards attaining victory.

Speaking at an extraordinary meeting in the state capital attended by traditional rulers, security chiefs and civil society groups, among others, Shettima indicated that he was being compelled by the present circumstance to step out of the routine mould: “For seven years, we’ve held our regular security council meetings…I never for once convened an extraordinary meeting of this nature because I was avoiding dramatisation or being sensational about our challenges in Borno State.”

He added, however: “I know that in governance, responding to some situations demands a combination of being both optimistic and realistic. The reality is that while so much was achieved by our gallant military men and women, we are today faced with serious challenges in Borno State. But then, these challenges should strengthen our abiding faith and resolve to continually do whatever we can in support of (the security services) and political authorities at the federal level…”

Two days after Shettima spoke,

his Katsina State counterpart, Aminu Bello Masari, as well summoned an extraordinary meeting where he declared that the state was under a security siege.

The stakeholder parley was thus being convened, he explained, to seek urgent solutions.

According to the Katsina governor, kidnappings, armed robberies, banditry and cattle rustling have become daily occurrences in the state. “No one, not even myself, is safe…Our state is currently under serious siege by armed robbers, kidnappers and armed bandits who arrest rural people at the grassroots at will and demand ransom, which if not paid, they kill their victims,” he said.

Masari also noted that the security challenge has taken on a daredevilry that is all the more alarming, saying: “The Permanent Secretary was just informing me that his close relative was kidnapped and a ransom of N5million was demanded, and the person who took the money to them was shot. Some people visited me, and as they left, they were trailed and robbed of their belongings…It is not up to a month, right here in front of Government House, that five electricity poles were carted away.

It is getting out of hand and we should not fold our arms…The people of Katsina in the 34 local governments now sleep with one eye closed and the other opened…”

Barely a week earlier, Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari voiced his helplessness over the porous security in his state, saying he wouldn’t mind the Federal Government imposing a state of emergency there.

All three governors who spoke up in the recent weeks are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), hence it is unlikely they were angling for adverse political capital against the

security scorecard of the Muhammadu Buhari administration. Actually, it is common knowledge that their respective circumstance is sufficiently precarious to warrant their escalation of the narrative.

All three indeed made the dutiful point of applauding present efforts and personal sacrifices by the armed services in their counter-insurgency and security provisioning operations under the direction of the incumbent President. But there is also a reality that can’t be ignored, and that is the creeping degeneration in the security environment. And that, really, isn’t restricted to their excellencies’ respective domain. It is the case to varying degrees in other parts of the country. With the pervasive menace of killer herdsmen, serial kidnappings for ransom and resurgent militancy across the land, there is hardly an area insulated from security challenge.

The whole point of the alarm freshly raised by governors, I would say, is the need to rethink the country’s security architecture. It is instructive, isn’t it?, that whereas President Buhari has repeatedly condemned the killings and other security breaches, and for the umpteenth time has ordered the security services to bring these to a halt, the challenge lingers and indeed insidiously so.

The security architecture needs rethinking because it apparently isn’t connecting with the Nigerian public.

For instance, the bane of operations by the security services is the absence of preemptive intelligence, and the agencies have routinely solicited useful information from citizens to aid their work but have scantly received eager response from the people. Yet, it now seems there is a formidable phenomenon of counterintelligence from some citizens that advantages criminals.

Both Yari and Masari cited the role of local collaborators in the security menace.

The Zamfara governor said bandits and kidnappers were receiving information from people in the state, adding: “It is sad to know that some of the people involved in the kidnappings are close relatives or associates of the victims, which is part of the reasons the problem is persisting.”

Masari was also reported saying bandits and kidnappers had local informants – a factor he described as “unfortunate.”

It should interest the government to know why the locals seem more inclined to tipping off criminals than heading up useful information to the security services. But, of course, the fact of the harsh economic environment must as well be confronted.

Besides, it seems increasingly obvious that escalation of security personnel deployment to troubled areas isn’t inherently sufficient as a game changer.

“Before Buhari’s administration, we had few security personnel in this state.

But today, we have about 4,000 security personnel including the Army, Police and Civil Defence,” Yari said. Meanwhile, Amnesty International (AI) had in a report, last July, argued that the deployed personnel were not providing sufficient cover for trouble spots. “The government is still neglecting the most vulnerable communities,” the group alleged, saying hundreds of the killings in Zamfara took place after the deployment of the Nigerian Air Force.

The Presidency and security services, especially the Army, have long established a posture of animosity towards the rights group. But it just might help to openmindedly study its periodic reports and glean what may be relevant in recalibrating security operations in the troubled areas.

2019 and search for national renewal

Jibrin Ibrahim

For a long time, I thought the main issue for 2019 would be the elections.

The 2015 general elections created the first defeat for an incumbent president and the excitement of having a famed anticorruption statesman returning to power to change the course of our national history.

The change group won but the change seen

by Nigerians has not been spectacular and in any case, we have seen what’s on offer from the two leading candidates, President Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, as such no more excitement about what’s coming, which ever one wins.

The main issue for 2019 is that of the struggle for the re-establishment of rural peace. Our rural peasants are no longer able to go safely to their farms and eke out their livelihoods, as they have done in the past 12 decades. Rural banditry has become the defining characteristic of the country and ordinary people have become the targets of banditry, arson, kidnapping and mass murder. The elite are also caught in the same trap and are today deeply frightened of travelling almost anywhere in the country.

As they barricade themselves in their houses in the city centres, their high walls are no longer any protection as increasing numbers are getting picked up in their houses.

They are discovering that there is a price to pay for decades of misrule, as the people get pauperised and strike back at their irresponsible ruling classes. In a sense, the key issue for 2019 is whether the Nigerian state can begin to reverse banditry, gangsterism and mass atrocities by the millions of young people we have failed to educate and provide jobs for. What is most frightening being that we cannot even talk with them, as much of the time, millions of them are deep in drug dazed stupor.

As we get more frightened, we have prayed more and more, calling on God to save us from our children. Just as politics

has not provided change, prayers too have not led to change. Precisely because we have been praying without thinking, we have missed the message of the scriptures that we must sit up and work to do good before we receive God’s blessings. We are proud that we have built more edifices for God and spent more time in fervent prayers than any other nation on earth, as revealed by research by the Pew Center, and yet our daily actions are lies, ritual and/or instrumental murders, adultery, rape, theft and every other sin known to Christianity, Islam and traditional religions.

Over time, we have transferred our social vices to the political terrain. Our politics is run by godfathers. Our political leaders emerge to contest for our votes because they have bribed their way through primaries and some even kill their opponents to ensure there is really no competition.

Today, it is no longer possible for a good and honest person to be a politician because the first criterion for politics is that you have stolen massive amounts of money from the Nigerian people. The more “honest” ones like Evans the kidnapper sought corrupt businessmen who have amassed billions and kidnapped them so they would be compelled to pay one million dollars each into what he had designed as his campaign kitty for the gubernatorial election in his State that he was preparing for. Others have had the opportunity to hold public office and they simply looted the treasury to build their political careers. No country that is not willing to allow a good person access to political office can hope to progress. The result is that every election produces a class of political office holders who are worse than the previous ones. The worst in society have mastered the art of reproducing themselves, while the good ones look on and pray.

We are currently all watching the

campaigns for the elections coming up in the coming weeks. The campaign strategy and tactics of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is to paint the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opposition candidate, Atiku Abubakar as a very corrupt person who would loot the national treasury if voted into office. The PDP response is to say that President Buhari, his family and cohorts have also succumbed to corruption and are worse than what he is being accused of. The language of the campaign is that “he is corrupt” and “he too is corrupt”. This is pathetic. And this campaign format dominates the terrain because although there are many other candidates, their voices are not heard as audibility is a function of money and the imperative of our laws that all contestants must have equal time in the mass media is disregarded by the organs and not enforced by the regulatory authorities.

Money has become the life blood of Nigerian politics and virtually all politicians play the money game. They pay huge amounts to all stakeholders, meaning all groups that can influence politics, including security officials and staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). They also pay money to the political grassroots. I have spoken to a number of gubernatorial aspirants who contested in the last primaries about the monies paid to the grassroots. These monies allegedly go to the structures, I was told.

What are the structures I would naively ask?

The response is always the same – party structures are party executives at the ward and local government levels, including chair and Exco members, women and youth. For each level, there are collectors who receive the money and promise to deliver to the grassroots. Two things stand out: Everybody pays something, hence its impossible to differentiate the honest ones

who do not bribe and the corrupt ones who do. The second thing is that none of these politicians is ever sure whether the money ever gets to the intended recipients. The story of the primaries was that, at the end of the day, the monies spent on “structures” do not matter because whether or not the grassroots gets the money, the party barons take subsequent decisions to cancel the primaries, impose “consensus” candidates or simply declare whoever they want as the candidate. I am yet to meet an aspirant who has experienced a political process of electing a candidate because they are popular or liked by the people. In other words, our political process is a mafia world in which godfathers kill, maim, marginalise and exclude all but their chosen godsons. Its this terrible world of Nigerian politics that our angry youth have learnt and taken into society. Meanwhile, we all pretend that we are holding party primaries in accordance with the Electoral Act 2010 as amended.

This realty of our politics is never expressed in the formal narrative of the national discourse. We act as if the democratic process spelt out in our Constitution and laws are operational.

Rebuilding the nation would require a serious analysis of our condition. It would, above all, require a strategy that would begin to encourage good people to come out and be supported by other good people.

We must believe the reality that we are not a nation of crooks, even if we have allowed the tiny minority of crooks in our society to dominate us. Let our resolution for 2019 be the determination to liberate our politics and society from the minority of crooks that are dominating us and imposing their terrible values on our national life. It is this resolve that would give us the courage to begin to tackle the issue of rural peace for the people.

Editorial Commentary A country without ‘rubber bullets’ Times Guest Columnist Reuben Abati

Many years ago, I was in Abuja to attend an international workshop on one of those human development issues that used to engage a lot of attention in those days: sustainable development goals, maternal mortality, maternal morbidity, adolescent sexuality, women’s political representation, the Beijing declaration, HIV/AIDS reporting… Those were hot topics in those days as Nigeria tried to grapple with the challenges of the return to civilian rule and seek the consolidation of democracy and its ethos. I don’t remember what the topic was on that particular trip, but Nigeria owes many of the international agencies which at the time helped to mobilise civil society beyond elections to realise that every country needed to focus on both human development and human rights issues and mainstream same into the current of prevailing thought. But after such conferences and workshops, often attended by persons from other African countries and visiting technical experts we usually found a way of unwinding by exploring the cultural delicacies that Abuja had on offer. Abuja was much safer, much cleaner, far more innocent and politically saner then than it is now. Night life in the city was also busy. Obasanjo was President.

So, this night in question, we ended up in one of those bubbling night clubs in Abuja. I don’t remember the name of the club anymore, but I know the location.

The year was 1999. The month was either November or December. Glitzing lights, heavy-pounding music, generously made women and girls with heavenly features whose presence alone was an overdose of aphrodisiac, cigarette smoke wafting skywards, a mixture of scents: perfume and body sweat producing a peculiar smell you can only find in a night club, so much fun in the air, every one appearing to be happy even if the world outside by dawn would confront every dancing, smoking, drinking acolyte at the shrine of Bacchus, with sober realities. I didn’t mind.

The New York Times picked up the comparison attempted by the Nigerian army and did a story out of it. This was important enough to force President Donald Trump to quickly auto-correct and say that those who throw stones should be arrested. This is understandable, in the face of a mid-term election that starts today in the United States. President Trump certainly cannot afford a human rights scandal about him being a source of inspiration for reckless conduct in a country he once dismissed as “a shithole country” and its President as “lifeless”.

The Nigerian military quickly deleted the comparison with America. But further asked why it should use live ammunitions against protesters, the Nigerian military speaking through BrigadierGeneral Joseph Agim, took us back to that night in 1999. He told his interviewer, “we don’t have rubber bullets when we are sent on assignments. So, if any person that is not happy with the government wants to take on the military, then they should be ready for the consequence(s)… Nobody can take on the military and they will not have casualties.” On the back of this statement by the army, a female Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police has also posted a famous message on Instagram to wit: “If you throw STONE, expect a bullet! Squad on mission! #Bosslady #protectiveservice. If you feel like joining the squad, say Hi.” What other evidence do we need, then of the disorientation of the Nigerian state and the cruelty of its officers? The army says it is licensed to kill. The police insist they too will kill, if any citizen does as much as throw a stone. We must seek recourse to the Constitution.

The primary job of the military is properly spelled out under Section 217 (2) of the Nigerian Constitution: “(a) defending Nigeria from territorial aggression; (b) maintaining its territorial integrity and securing its borders from violation on borders from violation on

land, sea, or air”. Section 217 (2) (c) further says the Armed Forces of Nigeria can be called in to supress insurrection and “act in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the president, but subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly ..”

Section 218 provides a caveat by stating expressly that “the powers of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation shall include power to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation”. Was the National Assembly involved in the recent declaration of war against the Shi’ites by the Nigeria Army? Is or was Nigeria facing the threat of war from the Shi’ites? Could the “orders from above” have come from the highest levels?

Was it right to invoke Section 217 (2) (c )? I will argue that whereas Nigeria is meant to be under a democratic dispensation, the presence of the military, pointing to a covert re-miliitarization has been pervasive. Whereas Nigerians fought for civilian rule, the soldiers have remained in their face: in politics, at police checkpoints, virtually everywhere, even on election days. They don’t help to keep the peace internally. They shoot to kill. The police whose responsibility it is to protect lives and property in Nigeria are helpless: they are under-staffed, underequipped, and demoralized. It is a tragedy that they are now beginning to sound like soldiers.

The position of the law is that Nigerians have the right under Section 40 of the !999 Constitution to assemble and associate freely and peacefully. They don’t even need a police permit to do so as proclaimed in All Nigeria People’s Party vs. Inspector General of Police (2008), 12 WRN 65.Nonetheless, the Nigerian government continues to defy this law, “orders are continually issued from above” to frustrate not just Section 40 of the Constitution, but also Section 33 on right to life, Section 38 on right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, Section 39 dealing with the right to freedom of expression and the press, Section 42 on the right to freedom from discrimination, and Section 44 on the right to dignity of the human person.

The rights of members of the Shi’ite movement in Nigeria have been violated on all of these counts.

The vengeful use of live ammunitions against them is condemnable and barbaric. This was how Boko Haram began. Shi’ites crave martyrdom. It is a fundamental precept of their faith. Live bullets can only strengthen their resolve. The sustained attack on them in Nigeria has obvious implications: Nigeria must not on any account become a playfield for the global, sectarian war between Sunnis and Shi’ites or a theatre of live bullets against every little protest by ordinary citizens.

All things considered, Nigeria is in a sad place.

The citizens of a country that has no rubber bullets are endangered. It is a country under the weight of selfimposed terror, misrule and poor governance, indeed, a country against its people. In the last three years, Nigerians have been targets of live bullets in every aspect of their lives. Each time they complain, they get shot in the head. Poverty is widespread. Salaries are not being paid. Foreign investors are fleeing. Local investors are groaning. Workers are going on strike.

The great art of living is dying. When the people groan, they are reminded that this government has no rubber bullets! A country where a bullet is valued more than human lives is sick.

I panic. The Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police are scheduled to provide security during the 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Will this translate into more casualties in 2019? The international community should advise the incumbent Nigerian government not to give “orders from above” for indiscriminate killings and the use of live bullets during the 2019 Nigeria elections. On that may well rest the future stability of Nigeria.

OUR POSITION Dwindling number of women participation in politics

T

he Nigerian political space since 1999 has experienced a tremendous improvement especially with the level of interest it has generated, that is if the number of persons jostling for the various political offices is anything to go by.

As at the last count, the number of political parties in the country has risen to over 90 from the three that heralded the nation into the present democratic space in 1999.

But one worrisome trend about it is the declining rate of women participation in the political life of the country, as the womenfolk seems to be facing serious challenge in their ability to break into political limelight.

This is even more evident from the recent primaries of the various political parties in the country where the number of women elected to contest for the various offices was very negligible.

For example, since 1999 and in fact in the history of Nigeria’s political life, there has not been any elected woman governor, the closest that a woman came to being governor, was when then governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, was impeached by the state Assembly and his deputy, Dame Virgy Etiaba, was sworn-in as governor and she held that position for a few months until Obi got the court to reverse the impeachment.

Though the activism in women was further awakened in the country since after the Beijing conference and declaration in 1991, which gave birth to the much talked about affirmative action that prompted the United Nations (UN) to subsequently concede 35 percent of all positions to women, nothing much has been done in the country to meet that target of women participation in politics.

In the early days of this dispensation, it must be said that President Olusegun Obasanjo made significant progress towards fulfilling that quota, while the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, also appointed more women into key positions, while there were equally a significant number in elective positions.

But that progress made in recent years seem to have been short-lived, perhaps due to the ever increasing complexities in the political system and high monetisation of the politics which has become a major challenge militating against women participation.

Presently, out of 109 senators, we have seven women senators and out of 360 members of the House of Representatives, we have about 17 women; we had far more women from 1999-2015; there were also lots of woman in parastatals and ministries in the country.

Also, an attempt recently to get a bill on affirmative action, sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu through the National Assembly failed because it could not get enough support on the floor of the Senate.

At an ECOWAS Female Parliamentarians Association (ECOFEPA) meeting earlier in the year, the President, and Nigerian Senator Stella Oduah said that Nigeria has the lowest female representation in elective positions in West Africa.

Senator Oduah called attention at the 15-member states of the sub-region to the dwindling number of women’s participation in politics in Nigeria to 7 per cent since the 2015 election.

She said women have only 6.1 per cent representation in State Houses of Assembly, 3.9 per

cent in the House of Representatives, 7.34 per cent in the Senate and almost zero per cent in the executive arm of government.

In West Africa, Nigeria ranks even lower than Ghana which has as at 2016 about 10.7 per cent female representation in the parliament and 27 per cent female as cabinet ministers.

Togo comes up second with about 17.60 per cent women representation in its national parliament as at 2017, and 18.4 per cent in ministerial positions.

Senegal has the highest representation of women in elective positions, ranking 12th in the globe for the number of women in elective position - that is 3 per cent down from its initial ranking.

Considering the role of women in nation building across the world and the increasing relevance of women even in the African continent, with the recent election of a women as the new President of Ethiopia after the end of a Woman president’s tenure in Liberia, it is our considered opinion that it is high time Nigeria gave women more opportunity to express themselves in the political space.

We are also of Opinion that with the lack of positive development in the Nigerian political space, the entrance of more women into it may bring a breath of fresh air that may turn the fortunes of the nation around for good and help revive some key sectors of the nation’s economy.

The role of women like Queen Amina, Mrs. Ransome Kuti, Margaret Ekpo among many others in the positive development of the Nigeria must not be so quickly forgotten as to shut other women out of the space. Rather, it should be a motivation to encourage more women into the space especially in this critical time of the nation’s history.

Gov Wike explains why Nigerians are Short News losing faith in public institutions Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt Governor of Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared that people were beginning to lose faith in public institutions because of the unprofessional conduct of their personnel.

Governor Wike regretted that the Army, Police, and INEC have failed to carry out their responsibilities in line with approved professional ethics.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by Mr. Usman Belel, the new Commissioner of Police, Rivers State, Tuesday, the Governor urged the police to improve their performance in the state.

He said: “People are beginning to lose confidence in public institutions in the country. I believe that as the new police commissioner, you will work for the confidence in the police to return.”

The governor said that the immediate past Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Zaki Ahmed, allowed himself to be used negatively against the state and law enforcement processes.

“Your predecessor allowed himself to be used by thugs to invade the courts in Rivers State.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria called for the investigation and prosecution of those that invaded the courts, but Zaki Ahmed refused,” he alleged.

He said: “Rivers State will not forget that it was Zaki Ahmed’s time that thugs invaded the Rivers State High Court, which is located near the Police Headquarters. He didn’t bring anybody to book.”

Governor Wike assured the new police commissioner that his administration would support the command to fight crime across the state.

He urged the Police Commissioner to focus on ending kidnapping, cultism, and other

violent crimes, adding that under no circumstances should crime be politicised.

“Government will give you all necessary support to fight crime.

I believe that you will fulfil your pledge to be professional in the discharge of your duties,” he said.

Earlier, the New Rivers State Police Commissioner, Usman Belel, said he was at the Government House Port Harcourt to formally introduce himself and seek the support of the administration to fight crime.

He assured that the police under his command would work professionally to fight crime and make the state safe for residents to carry out their lawful businesses.

The 7th Police Commissioner since Governor Wike assumed duty, Usman Belel was posted to the state from Zamfara where he served last. He is officially the 39th Police Commissioner since the creation of Rivers State.

We receive 25% as salary, Kogi NULGE tells govt Idris Ahmed, Lokoja

National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) Kogi state council has denied the statement by the government it has been paying Local Government workers over 50% as salaries In a swift reaction to Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor, Chief Edward Onoja who addressed the organised Labour Leaders comprising of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), Medical and Health workers Union (MHWUN), National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Lokoja after their peaceful protest over the N30, 000 new minimum wage, he said workers at Local government level have been receiving not less than 50% percent of salary for over six months now.

The statement irked the workers as they chanted “No No, is not true.”

Onoja while explaining further to buttress his claim said, “Is there a National Union of Local Governments Employees (NULGE ) representative here? Please we are before the world so we are not here to joke. We must read out some information so that when they say what the money is used for, you will compare today and yesterday. NULGE Chairman said there is a directive that no Local Government should be paid below 50% no matter what.

Unpaid salary: TASCE workers, Ogun labour leader beg Gov Amosun

The Ogun State employees of Tai Solarin College of Education (TASCE), Omu-Ijebu, Ogun State, and the labour leader have again solicited for God’s intervention through prayers and called on Ibikunle Amosun-led administration to forgive their sins and shortcomings to pay their salaries and its outstanding arrears.

The Chairman, Coalition Staff Union of the College, Mr. Daniel Aborisade stated this at a prayer sessions and press conference organized for God’s intervention in the payments of their salary and it’s arrears, held at the College conference Hall, Omu-Ijebu, Ijebu, Ogun State.

Aborisade said that the present administration of Amosun owing TASCE workers 29 months salary while Otunba Gbenga Daniel administration owed them 7 months with 48 salary arrears, noted that most of their members have died on this course and it was pity that government doesn’t care about their plights and predicaments.

He admonished the fellow workers to be forthright and committed to the struggle of the college, adding that the employees would not collect nothing less than 100 percent of their salaries arrears, as the union was really committed to collect their full salary.

Buratai says Operation Python Dance curtails insecurity Contrary to the perception in some quarters that the Nigerian Army introduced Operation Python Dance to intimidate citizens, the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Buratai has said the exercise has helped tremendously in curtailing insecurity in the country.

Buratai who was speaking Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State said apart from providing opportunity to retrain Nigerian soldiers, the exercise also gives them an avenue to respond to real life war situations.

Gov Ambode apprehends ‘one way’ offenders

Irked by the flagrant abuse of the Lagos State Traffic Laws, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday evening came down hard on some recalcitrant motorists who drove against traffic along the Muritala Mohammed Airport Road, Ikeja.

Returning from Abuja where he had attended the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council, Governor Ambode was shocked at the manner some motorists drove ‘one way’ to beat the traffic along the Air-force Base inward International Airport Road, Ikeja.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, he was particularly angry that one of the offenders, an army personnel, who drove a space bus with registration number JJJ 290 AC, would choose to blatantly contravene the law.

Another offender, who drove a saloon car with registration number LSR 445 ER, also got some schooling from the Governor for breaking the law regardless of the dangers involved in driving against traffic.

He said the classroom blocks regulate temperature according to the weather condition, and that the classrooms are cool when the temperature is hot.

He explained that the classrooms are fitted with gadgets to access information across the

world and that in the classrooms; there is no need for air-conditioners.

He stated that the classroom accommodates 30 students and a teacher, adding that it is resistant to fire.

“Sixty schools are proposed for the project.

It is supposed to be 60 modular classroom blocks in the 10 federal constituencies of Akwa Ibom. This is the first phase of the project; the materials are complete and ready for use.

“We have done four in Uyo High school, Oron Road, one at Use Offot Primary and Secondary schools. There are two at Onna local government areas, we have built and completed it. Others are spread across the 10 federal constituencies in Akwa Ibom.

“The essence is for the students to feel what other students in civilised countries such as America, Britain, China, Korea etc. feel. The classroom blocks regulate temperature to be moderate according to the weather condition and it is fire resistant.

“It can be cool when the temperature is hot without air conditioner. With the gadgets you can access anywhere that is what we want to do here. The normal classroom is 30 students to a teacher.

“The equipments for the modular class

room blocks were ordered from Turkey. The experts came to assemble them from Turkey; most of the equipments are in the Ministry of Education warehouse,” he said.

Prof. Inoka said the government is currently sponsoring the education of 31 students in private schools drawn from the 31 local government areas of the state.

Prof. Inoka debunked claims by the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Government in the state led by Governor Emmanuel has not awarded scholarships to Akwa Ibom indigenes saying the government has done it even for students studying abroad.

“Poor but intelligent students whose parents would ordinarily not afford to sponsor them in private schools were picked for the scholarships programme.”

He stated that the government has faithfully lived up to its expectations regarding the payment of fees for the children and said it was determined to ensure Akwa Ibom children enjoy quality education.

He said the government is tackling the problem of infrastructural deficits in public schools in phases and that soon, the problem of poor infrastructure will be totally eradicated.

Buhari tells Gabon to respect democratic rules Says era of military coups long gone

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Following reports of attempted military takeover in Gabon, President Muhammadu Buhari has called for respect for constitutional provisions in the oil-rich west-central African nation.

According to the Nigerian leader, “The military officers in Gabon should understand that the era of military coups and governments in Africa and indeed worldwide, is long gone.

Senior Special Assistant to the President in Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Tuesday, quoted President Buhari as saying that democracy is supreme and the constitutional stipulations on the peaceful change of administration must be respected.

That is the only way we can ensure peace and stability not only within the country but also in the region.”

Buhari, who is also the ECOWAS Chairman, urges military officers with political ambitions to resign or face their constitutional role.

He also enjoins the people of Gabon to remain on the side of peace, security, stability

and democracy in their country.

Gabon’s government had on Monday, thwarted an attempted military coup, retaining control of the oil-rich West African nation after two plotters were killed and other army officers were arrested, the government said.

Authorities regained control of state broadcasting offices and a major thoroughfare in the capital, Libreville, which were the only areas taken over by the officers, government spokesman Guy-Betrand Mapangou told Radio France International.

He said five army officers who took over state radio were arrested. Two other coup plotters were killed when security forces took over and freed some hostages, according to a presidential statement reported by RFI. A curfew was imposed over the capital, Libreville, and the internet was cut. The city on the Atlantic Ocean coast was being patrolled by military tanks and armed vehicles.

Earlier Monday a soldier who identified himself as Lt. Obiang Ondo Kelly, commander of the Republican Guard, read out a statement saying the military had seized

control of Gabon’s government in order to “restore democracy.” He was flanked by two other soldiers holding weapons; all were dressed in camouflage uniforms and green berets.

Those soldiers have been taken into custody and President Ali Bongo’s government remains in control, government spokesman Mapangou said.

Bongo, who has been in power since 2009, has been out of the country since October amid reports that he had a stroke. He recently addressed the country in a New Year’s message that was filmed in Morocco, where he has been receiving medical treatment.

Gabon, sub-Saharan Africa’s third-largest oil producer, has been ruled for more than half a century by Bongo and his father, Omar, who died in 2009.

Critics have accused the family of profiting from the country’s natural resources while not investing enough in basic services for the population of more than 2 million.

About one-third of the population lives below the poverty line, according to the World Bank.

Short News PDP woos South east victory group for Buhari Prince Nwankwo, Owerri

Following the massive in-road already made by the South-East Victory Group for Buhari in the South –East, the group has come under serious pressure by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East to change course.

The Co-ordinator of the Group, Engr. Wilfred Okeke said in a press statement that “all sorts of mouth- watering offers are being dangled by the PDP before the Group, even its State Co-ordinators in the South –East are being enticed with monetary offers”.

According to Engr. Okeke, the alleged pressure on the Group by the PDP is evidence of the success already recorded in the zone for President Buhari’s victory in the South-East once perceived as a fortress for the opposition party, PDP. He said that the group has resolved to ignore the PDP with “its monetary offers and focus instead on the onerous task of delivering the South -East completely for President Buhari in the February 16th 2019 presidential election and by so doing place the South-East in the centre where it rightly belongs”.

According to Engineer Okeke, “The group’s position is that these past four years of being in the opposition and antagonistic to the federal government headed by President Muhammadu Buhari has yielded little or nothing for the South-East in the form of dividends of democracy, hence the need for the South-East to change direction in the forth- coming general election”.

Despite N80m monthly revenue, NRC yet to break even - NRC MD Idu Jude, Abuja Despite increased in revenue generation from N16 million monthly revenue in 2017 to a whopping over N80 million from the Abuja-Kaduna train service in 2018, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has said in spite of the hike in income, the corporation is yet to break even as it still spends over N100 million monthly as running cost.

The Managing Director, Mr. Fidet Okhiria, of the corporation, disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing Transportation correspondents in Abuja.

Okhiria said, “We are close to breaking even on the AbujaKaduna train, we have made progress because of the efforts we made.

“When we started, we were earning about N16 million and spending about N56 million, but right now, we can comfortably say we earn over N80 million although we still spend over N100 million, which is closer to breaking even.

“By the time we have more coaches and run more trains, I think the expenses will reduce and more patronage will come in.

“The issue we have now is that we only run passenger trains; we don’t have freight to move from Kaduna to Abuja’’, he said.

The NRC boss attributed the high expenses to the purchase of diesel for generators at the train stations.

“If we can link up with some people to move freight, we will be able to break even because presently, by the time we inject power from the public power supply, I think our expenses will also come down.

“Right now, all our station is still powered by generator 24/7, we buy about 99,000 liters every month to power those generators; so, it eats deep into our expenses.

“But by the time we can connect to the public power supply which we hope by this month will be done, the cost of buying diesel will drastically reduce and then, we can break even.’’

He said that in 2018, the number of train trips also increased from four to eight, adding that 10 more coaches would be deployed on the route.

Okhiria said that the goal is to run hourly train service on the route as Nigerians become more confident in the service.

Nigeria risks losing $1.7bn power investment - TCN MD Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Managing Director of the Transition Company of Nigeria, TCN, Mr. Usman Gur Mohammed has said that Nigeria is at a verge of losing an investment of $1.7 billion due to the Federal Government’s reluctance to assume additional unhedged financial risk on the power sector given the current experience with Azuru and other players.

This is even as the Federal Government has approved the Kano State government’s proposal of 540 megawatts Qua Iboe Power Plant (QIPP) for the re-industrialisation plan of the state.

Minister of Finance, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed in a statement on Tuesday by her Special Adviser on media and communications, Mr. Paul Ella Abechi, said that the minister assured that the present administration would not renege on its part.

The statement quoted the TCN MD as saying that Exxon-Mobil is also prepared to commit about $500 million to build a gas pipeline from its deep off-shore platforms to supply the gas needed for QIPP to operate.

This the government said would bring the total Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the project alone to $1.7 billion.

“QIPP has also assumed completion risk of a transmission line from Ikot-Abasi to IkotEkpene to ensure supply of power to the national grid”, Mohammed said.

The MD of TCN has further confirmed that, based on already approved funding from development partners, TCN will be technically competent to do this before QIPP starts generating power as the transmission lines from Shiroro to Kaduna and from Kaduna to Kano will be fully operational with enhanced capacity within two years from the commencement of the project.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ahmed gave the Federal Government’s assurance on Tuesday, when she received the Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his team in Abuja.

“Let me assure you that it is not an issue of if this project will take place but when because we have a very huge power gap and it is more in the northern part than in the south. And when we see an opportunity like this, we have the responsibility to ensure it comes into fruition.”

She said, “We are looking at this as a pilot project as this will help mitigate the Federal Government’s plan. The ability to provide a counter guarantee will help a long way to reduce the burden on the Federal Government.

She added that it will help to improve the industrialisation plan, growth, employment generation for the state. I want to commit that the ministry of finance will put up our best efforts to make it a success. I hope at the end of the day it will be on record that during my tenure that I contributed to the industrialisation of Kano.”

Earlier, Governor Ganduje in his opening remarks said his had been fully briefed of the meeting between the Ministry of Finance and the board of BlackRhino Group, which was chaired by the Emir of Kano, His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II (Sarkin Kano), assured that the Kano State Government will provide protection against the financial risk of the power project.

The governor noted that the project worth billions and billions of dollars and if completed will further the industrialisation drive of the state.

He said, “We wish to express the strong interest of Kano State Government in purchasing the electricity generated by QIPP and providing protection to your Ministry against financial risk.

The Kano State Government is committed to industrializing Kano as a critical component of its development plans. The shortage of electricity

has been the principal factor hindering progress in this area.

“To this end, we welcome the opportunity offered to us by QIPP to have guaranteed a stable supply of 540MW of electricity. We trust this will support the industrialisation of Kano and perhaps even neighbouring states (like Kaduna, Jigawa, and Katsina) which have significant and critical unmet requirements for electricity.

“Honourable Minister, to show our commitment to the project, we shall set up Kano State Bulk Electricity Trading Company (KBET) which will buy all the power generated by QIPP from NBET in the form of a back-to-back Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

The Kano State Government will use the period during which QIPP is being developed to ensure the establishment of eligible customers in the form of industries as part of its Industrial plan and, if necessary, agree to supply neighbouring states which identify eligible customers. KBET will be assuming the risk of finding customers for this power and collecting tariffs.

“We request you to kindly approve the request made by QIPP as the FG will not be assuming any risks before financial close”, he said.

“The financing scales up the work of ATI by supporting the beneficiary countries to become members, Stefan Nalletamby, director of the bank’s financial sector department said.

The AFDB further disclosed in its statement released Tuesday that “once membership formalities in ATI are finalized, Nigeria could benefit from gross political and commercial risk insurance cover on total investments and trade amounting to over $5 billion by 2020.”

It explained that the catalytic effect of using limited financial resources in this way is undoubtedly massive.

“The approved facility complements ongoing and planned interventions geared at

building institutional capacity and improving the resilience of the Nigerian economy.

Joining ATI will enable Nigeria to leverage its position to mobilize additional resources to finance trade, especially importation of essential goods such as medicines and communications equipment, to rehabilitate basic infrastructure and strengthen the country’s productive sector.

ATI’s mandate is to provide medium to long term credit and political risk insurance, as well as other risk mitigation products to its member countries and related public and private sector actors.

These products directly encourage and facilitate foreign direct investment as well as local private sector investment in regional

member countries and intra- and extraAfrican trade.

ATI catalyzes private sector investments in infrastructure projects, thereby promoting economic integration of participating countries into regional markets.

This financing aligns with four of the Bank’s High 5 priorities, namely: Light Up and Power Africa, Industrialize Africa, Feed Africa and Integrate Africa.

As a trade finance facilitation initiative, the financing will support operations that are crosscutting and multi-sectoral in nature and will have an impact on agribusiness, infrastructure development, electricity generation, telecommunications and manufacturing, the bank noted.

Amazon now world’s most valuable public company Ladesope Ladelokun with agency report Amazon has overtaken Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable listed company. As at Monday, the 25-year-old online giant was worth $797 billion (£634bn) when the US stock market closed after rising 3.4 per cent and moved past Microsoft, which is valued at $789 billion.

The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is the world’s wealthiest man, with riches

of $135billion, according to Bloomberg’s billionaire index, after overtaking Microsoft’s Bill Gates last year. For more than a decade, the company put growth ahead of profit, investing in warehouses, distribution networks, and data systems.

In 2017, it paid $13.7 billion for Whole Foods Market, which brought it an extensive network of physical stores for the first time.

It has also emerged as a significant creator of original entertainment content, producing original drama series.

Also, it has won the rights to broadcast live sporting action, such as football from

England’s Premier League and ATP tennis.

The firm has developed a raft of other products and services, including the Kindle e-reader and Alexa virtual assistant, among others.

Founded by Mr. Bezos in 1994, Amazon started life as a niche second-hand bookseller and has become an online retailer of items ranging from fresh food to clothes. The firm was created in a garage in a suburb of Seattle, Washington.

It was initially called “Cadabra,” (as in “abracadabra”) and in 1995 sold its first book - Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies:

Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought, by Douglas Hofstadter.

By early 1996, Amazon was selling books online throughout the US. The business was floated on the stock exchange in 1997, raising $54million. As a result, Mr. Bezos joined the ranks of the world’s richest business people before he turned 35 years of age.

It is the first time Amazon has held the top position. The share prices of US tech giants have been on a rollercoaster in recent months on worries about sales and trade tensions.

Onyema to review 2018 capital market performance, 2019 outlook Temitope Adebayo The Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Stock Exchange, (NSE), Mr. Oscar Onyema is set to hold its 2018 Market Recap & Outlook for 2019 on next week Monday in Lagos.

This annual event is for Onyema to brief the stockbroking community, analysts, media and other stakeholders, on the performance of the market in the preceding year and give prognosis for the market for the New Year, 2019.

“With the significant progress made by the exchange in 2018 in areas of thought leadership, product development, regulation, sustainability, protection of investors fund amongst others, attendees will have the opportunity of learning more of the 2019 plans,” the statement attributed to CEO of NSE explained.

The Exchange traded mostly on the negative note in 2018, closing the year with a negative average full-year return of -17.81 per cent.

Aggregate market value of all quoted equities at the NSE declined by N1.89 trillion in 2018. Most quoted companies closed around their lowest prices as political risks, macroeconomic uncertainties and attractive yields in advanced economies kept investors nervous for the most part of the year.

The 2018 year-end performance was a major reversal for a market that had posted full-year return of 42.3 per cent in 2017.

With net capital appreciation of N4.36 trillion in 2017, the market had set out gaily in 2018 with a stride. Quoted equities netted capital gain of N1.38 trillion by the end of first quarter of 2018 with equities capitalisation rallying to hit all-time high of N15.3 trillion in January 2018.

The NSE All Share Index (ASI) - the common value-based index that tracks share prices at the NSE, peaked in January 2018 at 43,041.54 basis points, its highest index points since October 2008 Meanwhile, Onyema speaking on objective of taking a vigorous and adaptive approach to strategy execution at the 2017 Market Recap and 2018 Outlook stated that NSE re-assessed its strategic agenda in light of changing dynamics in both the operating environment and the global exchange landscape against the backdrop of the fourth industrial revolution.

“This culminated in a new corporate strategy for the 2018 – 2021 periods.

“Our efforts will be geared at satisfying our customers, boosting our domestic retail segment, and enhancing our organization for a demutualized structure.”

Speaking on the prognosis for 2018, Onyema had noted that the outlook for the Nigerian capital market is encouraging.

“Indeed, to some extent, political activities and currency movements will have some effect on the market, but we expect that such impacts will be short lived and the performance of the underlying business activities will ultimately determine market performance”.

On its part, the NSE is on track to become a more agile and flexible demutualized securities exchange. “We are hopeful that the Demutualization Bill will be signed into law in 2018, and are working assiduously with our Advisers to fine-tune outstanding aspects of the demutualization project as well as providing clarity and transparency on the process via regular engagement with all our valued stakeholders”.

“In 2018, NSE will launch Exchange Traded Derivative instruments and continue to engage with the government on privatization and listing of state owned enterprises in collaboration with the private sector. We also plan to maintain our role as an advocate for the adoption and implementation of market friendly policies”.

APC Presidential Campaign Council: We are ready to work for Nigeria, Tinubu assures Buhari Warns against returning PDP to power

Stories by Patrick Okohue The Co-Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Presidential Campaign Council and a National Stalwart of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has assured President Muhammadu Buhari that the campaign council has accepted the assignment given it by the president and will work for the country.

He said the council would not let him down “because doing so would also let down the nation”.

Tinubu has therefore rallied members of the campaign council with Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, as DirectorGeneral, for the task ahead.

In a statement entitled “We Accept President Buhari’s Assignment,” signed by Asiwaju Tinubu and released on Tuesday in Abuja, he said the Peoples Democratic Party should not be allowed to return to power and “return to the days where they rule the nation like overlords.”

The statement reads in part: “The 2019 APC Presidential Campaign Council has been inaugurated by President Buhari.

In his speech at the inaugural meeting, he did more than offer us guidance on the campaign. In his straightforward manner, he outlined the achievements of his administration, reminding the

Buhari

Tinubu

nation of the pillars of progressive governance and of our party.

“I think I can speak for all members of the campaign council that we accept the assignments given by the President with devotion and a firm commitment to perform to our utmost the individual and collective tasks given. It is a great honor and responsibility he has given us. We dare not let him down because doing so would also let down the nation.

“This election concerns more than two competing personalities and political parties. It is a contest between two different visions for the country and the futures these visions portend. The APC seeks a better Nigeria by reforming our institutions of governance

that these institutions may better implement policies engendering dynamic economy development.

“We seek not only growth, but also a fair and just allocation to all segments of society of the harvest of our national endeavors. Let no Nigerian be forever trapped in poverty and despair. Let all Nigerians be given the genuine opportunity to realise their full potential and contribute to this nation and their own lives as much as their talents and willpower permits of them. We build a Nigeria where government leads the nation, but does not rule over the people.

“On the other hand, the PDP pushes toward a future that takes the nation back to the malpractices of the past. Blind to the possibilities

2019 presidency: Uduaghan assures Buhari will win in Delta Immediate-past governor of Delta State and All Progressives Congress (APC), 2019 Delta South senatorial candidate, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, has said that the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Niger Delta area and Delta State, in particular, would make his re-election in the February presidential election very easy.

Speaking at the inauguration of the APC presidential campaign council in Abuja on Monday, the former governor said the efforts of the President Buhari-led government have brought relative peace in the Niger Delta region.

“We are sure of delivering because Mr. President has done a lot for Delta State. Don’t forget that Delta State is like the nucleus of the crisis in Niger Delta and of course when Mr. President came in, we had this Niger Delta Avengers that

came up in 2016.

“When Mr. President came in and it took the ingenuity of Mr. President and the Vice President to manage that crisis, the Vice president has to come to the state, the Minister of Petroleum had to come to the state, to the heart of the creeks in Niger Delta to do engagement processes.

“In fact, the Vice President went round every state in the Niger Delta; it has never been done before. For Delta, in particular, he was there, he went to see traditional rulers, he went to see some of the youths, he went to see those that were involved in the crisis and that helped significantly in managing the crisis.

“Apart from that, Mr. President also has done a lot in terms of infrastructure and human capital development in Delta State and across the Niger Delta. The railway

to Alaja is now functional and of course they have started carrying passengers.

“As at today, there is a lot of work going on at Escravos bar.

That was the entry to the Delta State port that was not passable but by the time they finish with it, it will be passable.

“Of course, a lot of roads have been done by the NDDC (Niger Delta Development Commission), the number of roads that have been done by the NDDC in the last three years have never been done before.

“From the human capital development area, we have the N-Power, we have the feeding of our school children, we have the tradermoni and also the empowerment programmes that are being done by the Federal Government. So, we have a lot to campaign within Delta State,” he said.

of a better day and afraid of the equality that true reform will bring, the PDP remains vested in the ways of corrupt governance and arrogant disregard for the public. For them, the unjust past is not just the object of their dreams; it is their sole destination.

“Thus, this election is about two different policy visions and two different models of leadership. This election is about substantive issues and about character.

“The APC will continue to build a political economy that will well serve Nigeria long after oil revenues are no longer sufficient to sustain the nation and its ever-growing population. We are diversifying the economy, giving basic food, health and educational assistance to the most needy among us, improving agricultural productivity so that our farmers grow more to feed for increasing urban populations and also

earn more to sustain their families, and about building needed infrastructure, including electricity and water, because we realise a national economy cannot grow beyond the capacity of the infrastructure that serves that economy.

“Meanwhile, the PDP clan wants to return to the days where they rule the nation like overlords. They want to own every industry and control everything that has anything to do with the creation of wealth. They seek to reverse the democratic maxim that government is the servant of the people. The PDP wants a situation where those in government are the masters while the people bow their heads to the interests of the mighty and the rich. We have seen this before.

“Those who really care about Nigeria care not to see such malign governance again,” Tinubu said.

Group hails Buhari’s open-mindedness for meeting Amosun, APM’s Akinlade The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described President Muhammadu Buhari meeting the Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun alongside the gubernatorial candidate of the opposition Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Adekunle Akinlade, as a positive development.

BMO said in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke however, that the meeting it is not necessarily a sign of President Buhari’s endorsement of the APM candidate.

This, it said, is especially as he had before now raised the hand of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Dapo Abiodun as his preferred candidate during a recent visit alongside former Ogun State governor, Olusegun Osoba.

“We are aware of some disquiet among APC members on seeing the picture of the President with Governor Amosun and the APM candidate on the front page of national dailies after the weekend meeting at the Presidential villa.

“But just as the Presidency has made it clear that the President would only back APC candidates, we don’t see the meeting as a contradiction of the stance.

“It in fact shows the acceptability that President Buhari enjoys across party lines as opposed to the recent stagemanaged endorsement of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar by insignificant political parties and politicians with no real electoral value”, the group said.

BMO noted that a sign of the President’s wide acceptability is the fact that PDP governorship and National Assembly candidates in several parts of

the country are running their campaign with posters bearing his image.

“It is a known fact that there is no living politician with the cult-like followership and support Buhari has in some parts of the country as a result of his legendary integrity, so it is not a surprise that several PDP candidates in Northern Nigeria have been openly canvassing for the President’s re-election.

“The question begging for answer is: why are these candidates not campaigning for Atiku Abubakar or put his image on their campaign posters?”

The pro-Buhari group pointed out that the trend of support for President Buhari among PDP leaders began a few weeks ago with the visit by governors elected on the platform of the opposition party in the South East geo-political zone and the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

“Although the meeting was meant to be one where the governors were to show appreciation for Federal Government projects in the region, especially the contract award for the second Niger Bridge, it came at a time the political figures were at odds with their parties.

“On individual basis, Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi, has publicly left no one in doubt about his positive relations with the President whom he has hailed on several occasions for the infrastructural strides in the region, and of late his Enugu counterpart Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi had been pictured wearing a lapel pin with President Buhari’s image.

“What is now left is for the governors and Senator Ekweremadu to be pictured with the viral 4 + 4 hand sign,” BMO said.

Egypt confirmed as hosts of AFCON 2019

The upcoming African Cup of Nations, AFCON, will be hosted

by Egypt, the Confederation of African Football, CAF; announced on Tuesday after a high level meeting.

The race was between Egypt and South Africa, who submitted candidacies late last year after CAF stripped Cameroon of the hosting rights.

Cameroon was stripped of the rights because of their inability to put together infrastructure in time and also due to security threats in parts of the country.

CAF Executive Committee

members were initially set to vote in Dakar on Wednesday but opted to do so 24 hours earlier and hours to the 2018 CAF Awards also taking place in the Senegalese capital today, January 8.

South Africa has extensive infrastructure built when they hosted the first World Cup in Africa in 2010. Watchers however expressed reservations about the low South African patronage of other teams.

Egypt also has extensive football facilities, although in recent years attendances at local matches have been restricted because of security

THE ARK OF REDEMPTION MINISTRY THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE ABOVE NAMED HAS APPLIED TO CORPORATE AFFAIRS COMMISSION, ABUJA FOR REGISTRATION UNDER PART “C” OF THE COMPANIES AND ALLIED MATTERS ACT, NO. 1 OF 1990.

concerns in the wake of the Arab Spring revolution and Tahir Square demonstrations.

Morocco had been the favourite to step in after repeatedly promising to do so if needed but then surprisingly said it was not interested once Cameroon was stripped of hosting rights.

It is the first time the tournament will be played mid-year away from the traditional January – February date. It will last between June 15 to July 13, 2019. It will also be the first time there will be 24 participating teams.
