Rebuilding N/East central to my Short News aspiration - Ndume Rivers drops murder case against Faults APC’s imposition, insists on contesting

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume representing Borno South Senatorial District has said that he will use the office of the Senate President to secure more humanitarian support for the insurgency damaged socioeconomic infrastructure of the North East region if he emerges as president of the 9th Senate. He said his mission for the 9th Senate is not personal, but part of what needs to be done in the polity of the country, maintaining that the North East as a result of insurgent activities now finds itself in a precarious situation. Speaking with journalists yesterday, Ndume said “the insurgency has inflicted N9.2 trillion worth of destruction on the North East. And you need somebody who knows where it pinches. “We in Borno state are in the epicenter of the Boko Haram destruction. So it is not like what you will get from the office of the Senate President, but what you can do with it. “If you are the Senate President in this country, you will be able to globetrot

around, tell people how the problem is because you are in the heart of the problem. You know how it is and how it feels. “So, if this opportunity is given to us, we have three critical issues in Borno, particularly and the North East in general.” Issues central to his ambition, he said, include “the issue of recharging of the Lake Chad which should be taken globally by somebody that knows it, somebody that can explain it better to the people. “Two, the issue of insurgency as I said had inflicted a N9.2 trillion damage on us. If we are to go by monthly federal allocation and the budget of the state, it will take us ages. “Right now, you can rightly say that Borno is a failed state. And the only way to bring it back is to have a way. And part of it is because I know and my passion for it because it affects me directly. “Right now, as I am speaking to you, I cannot comfortably drive to my local government. It has no light now because it is not connected. It has no telephone because the insurgents have destroyed the equipment. The ecosystem is destroyed; our schools are closed. “Secondly, I have been in this place for

quite a while. The Senate was intended to be a stabilizing institution in the polity.” Ndume faulted the position of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in having anointed candidates in the choice of leaders for the National Assembly, insisting that “first of all, it is wrong for leaders to be given a leader from amongst themselves. “They are supposed to decide who among themselves is supposed to be their leader. And that also, is taken care of by the constitution in Section 50 (1). It is very clear as to how the Senate leadership should emerge. I am glad that the party after doing that announcement, realized that it was wrong and unconstitutional. “Even the party supremacy that they are talking about; in Article two of the APC constitution, it says that subject to the provision of the constitution, the APC will provide services to the government. And Section 50 of the constitution is very clear about emergence of the leadership. “Besides, in all the emergence of candidates of the APC, there is no provision for imposition. The President emerges through a democratic process. And the election was open, it was zoned in line with the constitution.

factional Rivers APC chairman Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

In line with an earlier reconciliatory gesture to political opponents, the Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday dropped yet another murder charge against the embattled factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Ojukaye Flag-Amachree. The move came barely 24 hours after a similar action was taken on Tuesday at the state High Court 2, presided over by Justice Joy Akpughunum in favour of the factional chairman. When the case was mentioned at the Appeal Court on Wednesday, Justice Chinwendu Worgu struck it out after counsel for state government, Mr. Francis Obla, filed a nulli prosqui (motion to drop the case) prepared by the state Attorney-General, Zacheus Adangor. Gov. Wike had as soon as he was announced winner of the March 9 governorship election in the state by INEC, directed the state attorney-general to review all pending criminal cases linked to politics before the 2019 elections. The governor also in a statewide broadcast directed the attorney-general to make recommendations to promote reconciliation between him and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi and other political gladiators in the state in order to forge a common front to move the state forward. The state counsel told the court that the state has indicated its unwillingness to continue with the matter.

Oni’s suspension stands, insists Ekiti APC Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti The All Progressives Congress((APC) in Ekiti state has again reaffirmed that the suspension of former Governor Segun Oni subsists in spite of action being taken by his loyalists to cause confusion. The party insisted that Oni was duly and legally suspended by a party apparatus at his ward in Ifaki ward II in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of the state for alleged anti -party activities. Oni was on May 1 suspended by party executive for allegedly committing offences deemed to run contrary to the provisions of the party’s constitution. In spite of the fact that Oni’s offence was not mentioned, it was widely believed that he was being punished for taking Governor Kayode Fayemi to court over his emergence as the candidate of the APC in the May 12, 2018 primary of the party. Oni contended that Fayemi was not qualified to have stood for the primary, having failed to resign as a minister 30 days to the primary as stipulated by the party’s constitution. Following his suspension, a group of elders in Ifaki ward II, condemned the step as it violates the party’s laid down rules. In a statement by the party’s ward executive and leaders on Wednesday, they described those condemning the suspension as rebels who had earlier been denied opportunity to hijack the party.

No harm must befall Saraki, others, PDP cautions FG, APC Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned what it tags the renewed harassment of the Senate President and Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign, Senator Bukola Saraki by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government. It went ahead to caution the government that no harm must befall Saraki or any of the party’s candidates across the state. The PDP expressed concern that the APCled federal government is now using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to hound the Senate President in a clear case of political witch-hunt, alerting that the fresh siege against Sen. Saraki is part of the larger plot for a renewed clamp-down on

key opposition figures and perceived political opponents of the APC administration. According to the PDP, nothing else can explain the federal government’s obnoxious and distasteful resort to intimidation and evidence-fishing, just to nail Sen. Saraki at all cost, even when nothing incriminating has been found in his stewardship as Governor of Kwara state after several investigations. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party asserted that the federal government is hounding Sen. Saraki even after he has been prosecuted, but discharged and acquitted by the Supreme Court after the government failed to substantiate claims of false asset declaration against him. He said “the PDP holds that this renewed witch-hunt tailored against Sen. Saraki and perceived opposition leaders further

confirms that the Buhari Presidency and the APC have become frenetic over the overwhelming evidence that our party will present at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal. “Moreover, our party already has information on how certain elements in the APC have plotted to cash in on the new siege to harm key leaders of our party under certain guise. “The APC is called upon to note that Nigerians are already aware of the truth in all issues leading to this renewed harassment of the Senate President. We insist that no harm must come to Sen. Saraki or any member of his family.” The PDP cautioned the federal government to retrace its steps on this new plot against opposition leaders in the nation’s polity.

The Senate on Wednesday summoned the Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole to answer questions over the deteriorating state of health institutions in the country, especially federal teaching hospitals This was as the Senate ordered its committee on health to conduct an emergency investigative hearing on the state of healthcare services in teaching hospitals and report back within a week. Also, it urged the federal government to immediately adopt short and long term measures that will holistically address the challenges facing the tertiary health institutions. Equally, the Senate called on the federal government to adopt a policy on subsidizing medical expenses of patients with terminal ailments such as cancer and kidney failure. This followed a motion by Sen. David Umaru(APC Niger) at plenary on Wednesday. Presenting the motion, Sen. Umaru said recent reports of poor quality and high cost of services in the hospitals was worrisome. He said according to reports, teaching hospitals across the country were burdened with widespread cases of poor electricity supply, obsolete medical equipment and decayed infrastructure among others.

NASS set to establish legislative museum, archives To mark 20 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, the National Assembly is set to establish a legislative museum and archives. Rep. Sam Onuigbo (Abia/PDP), who is a member of the special joint ad hoc committee on establishment of the National Assembly Legislative Museum and Archives disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja. The lawmaker revealed that the legislative museum and archives was aimed at preserving the nation’s legislative records adding that it will also help to provide an invaluable repository of knowledge that will be beneficial to scholars, historians and citizens of the country. According to Rep. Onuigbo, the museum and archives will keep mementoes of Nigeria’s democratic progress and memories of leaders, and their contributions to democratic rule in the country. “It will immortalize past and present Nigerian parliamentarians,” maintaining that a groundbreaking ceremony of the project will be held at the proposed site within the National Assembly Complex on May 18 as part of the celebration of the World Museums Day. He further disclosed that a temporary exhibition will be put in place on the lobby of the National Assembly before the groundbreaking ceremony to create awareness for the legislative museum.

Local Council autonomy and insecurity

Emmanuel Onwubiko

Two things/news broke or happened on May 6th 2019 about the same time but in two different locations in Nigeria that perfectly addresses the burning issue of widespread insecurity in Nigeria. But an observer of events in contemporary Nigeria needs to either develop the nose for news like a professional journalist would ordinarily be required to possess or you become a deeply reflective analyst with the gift of what the Greeks called EPIKEIA or the sixth sense to be able to decode the security import of these two wholly unrelated scenarios that played out in Katsina and Abuja respectively. I begin from what is near to what is far or from the part to the whole as logic experts would. In Katsina State, the Emir of Katsina pointedly asked the visiting Federal government delegation to inform President Muhammadu Buhari that there is general breakdown of law and order in Katsina and that the state needs security. We will narrate the comprehensive version of these intriguing episodes. In Abuja, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, (NFIU) -a newly created financial intelligence gathering agency that plays pivotal role in the anti-graft crusade in the country, issued a guideline banning financial institutions from releasing money recklessly from the joint state/local government account if such money has not reached the specific account of such stated local government area councils. We will return shortly to this piece of information. But permit me to call for the abolition of this socalled joint state/local council account. Just before digressing, i alluded to the check and balance that the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit has put in place to watch over local government’s fund from being stolen by governors. So this is where the nexus between the two events occurs: the traditional institution is the nearest to the grassroots. The people who reside at the grassroots constitute nearly sixty percent of the entire Nigerian population. But the economic wellbeing of the local government area councils is not sound. This means that poverty is more in the local areas than it is in the urban centers. Recall that recently the global poverty index pointed towards Nigeria as becoming the emerging global capital of poverty with over 90 million

of the estimated 200 million Nigerians living in absolute poverty. Nigeria took over from India which has twenty times the size of our population. Also, poverty means that there is a serious gap in food security and even human security. Nigeria faces food insecurity; human insecurity and border area’s insecurity. The statement of fact made by the Emir of Katsina regarding insecurity in the state, indirectly points to the general breakdown of security in the local government councils which accommodates the greatest number of Nigerians. Now, the Abuja development which is about the salutary order made by the National financial intelligence unit seeking to provide safeguards to monitor the spending of local government accrued resources , if meticulously implemented, has the potential of addressing the hydra-headed crisis of poverty and insecurity that afflicts the local governments. One of the quickest ways of checking the high incidence of insecurity related events such as kidnappings and banditry across the country is for the governing class in conjunction with the civil society to demonstrate practical will power to restore autonomy and workability to the local councils. It is a fact that if the local government areas are enabled to become functional as it were, then the bulk of the poverty and crime related issues that we see will inevitably be checked. Worried that insecurity has impeded development in the rural areas, the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji, Abdulmumuni Kabir, urged the Federal Government to gather the courage and enforce the law on bandits and other criminal elements in the country. Kabir stated this while receiving the Federal Government delegation that came to condole the Government and people of Katsina State over the death of Justice Mamman Nasir on Monday in Katsina. “The Federal Government should stand up and find criminals who have been terrorizing innocent people. “The Government should give security agencies the mandate to deal with criminals squarely. “The lack of the complete enforcement of the law had given armed robbers, Kidnappers and other criminal elements the chance to be disturbing members of the public.

“The traditional institutions are ready to support and encourage security agents to flush out criminals from their hideouts’’ Conversely, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) issued guidelines to stimulate the reduction of crime vulnerabilities created by cash withdrawals from local government funds across the country. Acting Chief Media Analyst of NFIU, Ahmed Dikko, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Monday. He announced that the effective date for operation of the guidelines was June 1. He urged all financial institutions, relevant stakeholders, public servants and citizens to ensure full compliance with the provisions of the guidelines which had already been submitted to the institutions. “The guidelines include full enforcement of corresponding sanctions against violations,” he stated. government areas which have ripple effects across board. To underscore the importance of the local government areas, the United Nations offices for public administration says that local government is : “a political subdivision of a nation or (in a federal system) state, which is constituted by law and has substantial control of local affairs, including the powers to impose taxes or to exact labor for prescribed purposes. The governing body of such an entity is elected or otherwise locally selected”. Nigerian Constitution in section 7(1) defines democratic election as the only legal means of setting up local council authorities. Hence, the definition of local government was made more clear by Kirk Green in (Ola and Tonwe) who submitted thus: Each unit of local government in any system is assumed to possess the following characteristics: a given territory and population, an institutional structure for legislative, executive and administrative purposes, a separate legal identity, a range of powers and functions authorized by delegation from the appropriate central or intermediate legislature and lastly, within the ambit of such delegation, autonomy, subject always, at least in Anglo-American tradition, to the limitation of common law such as the test of reasonableness”. Omogui Okaru the then head of Federal Inland Revenue Service says: “The high rate of corruption at local government level Is as a result of overdependence on oil revenue,

with its attendant laxity on the part of the three tiers of government to explore other sources of revenue. Revenue generations and its effective management are critically important for the survival of local government councils”. “Hence, it is bound to suffer the fate of ll laws which are in conflict with the Constitution, section 1(3) thereof.” The judge Said Section 7(1) of the ConsConstitution (as in the instant case where the first appellant, ‘Governor of Ekiti State and others’ dissolved the tenure of the respondents and replaced them with caretaker committees) is tantamount to executive recklessness which would not be condoned,” the judge said. Justice Nweze said the tenure of the local government councils could not be abridged without violating the supreme constitutional provisions. “Simply put, therefore, the election of such officials into their offices and their tenure are clothed with constitutional force. They cannot, therefore, be abridged without breaching the Constitution from which they derive their force. “The only permissible exception, where a state governor could truncate the lifespan of a local government council which evolved through the democratic process of elections, is ‘for overriding public interest’ in a period of emergency.” He upheld the earlier decision of the Court of Appeal on the issue and adopted the orders made by the Court of Appeal on the case in its judgment delivered on January 23, 2013. The Appeal Court had among others, ordered the Ekiti State Government to compute and pay all the allowances and salaries accruable to members of the dissolved councils between October 29, 2010 and December 19, 2011, both dates inclusive. Justice Nweze directed the Attorney- General of Ekiti State to ensure that the orders of the lower court (Appeal Court) affirmed in his judgment, are complied with. What we must do is to complete the constitutional amendments process to make local government councils autonomous because if they are autonomous the chances of seeing public procurement practices that are relatively crime free is high. The chances of the local economy coming back on stream and providing the enabling environment for a revived sound local economy and job opportunities will significantly address some of the fundamental causes of insecurity and instability.

Nigeria still owes them

Aniebo Nwamu

At this time 23 years ago, the greatest Nigerian that has ever lived (and, I believe, will ever live) lay dying at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu. As the end approached, Zik the Great must have seen life in its stark nakedness. I learned the last words he uttered on his deathbed were like this: “Oh God, I’ve made the greatest mistake of my life. I chose heroism instead of sainthood. Now that I’m about to lie lonely in the grave, who will remember to pray for me anymore? Lord, please, if for all that I suffered for the sake of Nigeria, forgive my sins and receive me in your kingdom.” Zik must have thought about loneliness in the grave and then recalled the words of the preacher: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity…” He was one of the old people whose words of wisdom I cherished. In his case, I listened to him as a journalist — we interviewed him shortly before his birthday (November 16) each year between 1988 and 1994. We had no opportunity to speak with him in 1995 because he had been bedridden by November. But on his 90th birthday, I travelled from Lagos to Nsukka, and, together with the cream of Nigerian society, celebrated what was a farewell party in honour of the foremost nationalist of pre-independence struggle, the country’s first president, and the Owelle of Onitsha. On the occasion, he recited a poem he had composed in the 1930s; a line reads, “My life has been a joy to me”. It’s not likely there is any Nigerian – indeed any citizen of the world – alive today that is Zik’s age mate. He was born in Zungeru [he told us the correct pronunciation of the town was Zun-guru] in today’s Niger State at noon on Wednesday, November 16, 1904, and died shortly before 11am on Saturday, May 11, 1996. Just as he feared on his deathbed, Zik has

not been commensurately rewarded by the nation he fought for all his life. One of the strangest demonstrations of ingratitude and ineffectiveness of the Nigerian government was the non-completion of Zik’s mausoleum at Inosi Onira in Onitsha. I’m glad to hear that the structure has now been completed after 22+ years. But structure alone doesn’t make a mausoleum. Were it in another country where people go into government to work and not to steal, Zik’s mausoleum would have since become a tourist site bringing millions of dollars in revenue. His home in Nsukka also – he lived in Onuiyi Haven from 1945 – would have also become a tourist’s delight. Then, there is the second Niger Bridge – about 4km from the place Zik was buried in Onitsha. For the past 40 years, that bridge has been mentioned only in politicians’ campaign speeches. Only “a second Azikiwe” [Goodluck Jonathan] was able to pay a huge sum for the project’s contract; under the current regime, work has been proceeding at snail’s speed. How ungrateful could a nation be? Nigeria will forever owe Zik a debt of gratitude. No tribute to his memory would be too much, for in the struggle for independence he was the primus inter pares. When I asked Adeniran Ogunsanya, in 1992, whether Zik contributed the most, he asked me, “Who else did?” So, these days, when I read some ignorant people mentioning their tribal warlords first before Zik among our founding fathers, I shake my head. Zik always believed that the struggle for Nigeria’s independence was worth it. Perhaps he was right. Driving away foreigners was the right thing to do at the time. It is out of frustration with the present system of things that many like me think the quest for

independence from the colonialists was a mistake. India, for instance, is on the fast lane. So are Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the UAE, and the two Koreas – countries that were behind us by 1960. Had the First Republic not been truncated, there is no way a nation led by Zik, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sardauna Ahmadu Bello, Obafemi Awolowo, Mike Okpara, Samuel Ladoke Akintola, Tony Enahoro and their contemporaries would have been overtaken by the “Asian tigers”. Meanwhile, here’s a reminder: Zik’s junior nationalist Obafemi Awolowo died on May 9, 1987; Herbert Macaulay (who handed the baton of nationalism to Zik) died on May 10, 1946; and Zik himself on May 11, 1996. Strange coincidence? Perhaps we should have national holidays from May 9 to 11 of every year to honour these founding fathers. Today nothing works. All we’ve got is a rapacious elite: lawmakers who do nothing but determine their own incomes; 17, 000 officeholders sharing a third of what belongs to 200million Nigerians; incredible billions of pounds and dollars locked up or lost forever in foreign banks’ vaults; an education system that churns out millions of jobseekers each year. No jobs. No food. No power supply. No clean water. No rail system. Available roads are death-traps. Hospitals are glorified mortuaries. Assassins, armed robbers, terrorists and kidnappers rule the roost. Nigeria has become hell on earth. That we have failed woefully in all indices of human development does not, however, belie the genuine struggles of our founding fathers. This is far from the country of their dream. And each died with deep regrets and disillusionment. I’ll continue to pay tribute to them – all the men and women who rendered the selfless service of founding a nation

that ought to lead Black Africa. Just as the Americans refer to those that fought in World War II as the greatest generation, I recognise the pre-independence nationalists as Nigeria’s greatest generation. In no small measure, they determined the fate of my generation and the generations yet to come from this part of the world. Conversely, I identify the men that fought the civil war as Nigeria’s least and worst generation so far. When members of that generation staged the first military coup and murdered our founding fathers, the latter must have placed a curse on them. And a genuine curse, according to those who know, lasts three generations. Is it not probable that my generation and the one after us have been suffering because of that generation of robbers, thieves and liars? By my calculation, the third generation is already 10-25 years old; let’s hope the sins of their grandfathers will be forgiven before they start getting their own children. Or shouldn’t we begin to beg the spirits of our ancestors to terminate the curse they might have placed on us? May the sins of those who turned Nigeria upside down not be visited on the next younger generations anymore. That evil generation of looters has been making attempts to rewrite our history. In the books they have written and interviews they have granted, you read lies upon lies meant to distort the true accounts of the past. You see the culprits standing on the dais or facing the camera while peddling their wares. But, thanks to the white man’s internet, the younger generation can always read the true accounts of Zik and other founding fathers almost all of whom have now died. Those who banned the study of History in Nigerian schools labour in vain.

Editorial Commentary

Much ado about medical tourism (ii)

Times Guest Columnist Mohammed Adamu

Domestic Medical tourism –as in seeking medical care across states- has never been the problem. Nigerians have never had issues with people traveling anywhere within the country to seek medical help. And so interstate medical tourists may do so anywhere within the country whether in search of orthodox or un-orthodox medicine. In fact those in search of un-orthodox medicine, whether they travel within or outside the country, hardly count for those we censure for medical tourism abroad. And so for all we care, the fetish ones among us may travel to see some babalawo in nearby Togo or some marabou in faraway Senegal, but they dare not go to Europe, America, Asia or the Middle East for orthodox medical help or else they share in the national guilt if not of warranting then of condoning the sorry state of our medical system. The same way that we see parents (whether those culpably rich or those vicariously struggling) who send their children abroad to study, as guilty of promoting ‘educational tourism’ and thus sharing in the national guilt of warranting or condoning the sorry state of our educational system. We seem to suggest, ridiculously, that parents are free of liability from the collective national guilt only if they keep their children at home to suffer the consequences of the educational system that we have warranted or condoned. The same way we see medical doctors who flee for greener pasture abroad as responsible for our ‘Brain Drain’ situation; because we believe that they should remain at home so that we can salvage the situation together. Just as we blame teachers, who hawk their intellectual wares abroad. And so it is medical tourism ‘abroad’ –for orthodox medicine- that is the chief culprit whenever we bemoan the sorry state of our medical system. Without a legislation outlawing it, we have still managed to make it repugnant to good conscience. We insist that even people who are critically ill must be patriotic enough to stay at home and make do with the ‘available’ –even if not qualitative- medical care. We seem always to pore on the idyllic, but we do not appear to have the courage to reflect on the realistic. We want our abducted school girls rescued but we have made negotiating with Boko Haram repugnant to our ‘patriotic’ sense. We collectively –even if hypocritically- condemn bargaining privately with kidnappers, but now almost every victim-family of kidnap, secretly bargains with and pays kidnappers to recover their loved ones. Because we do not trust our law enforcement agencies; just as we shy away from litigation, because we do not trust the justice system; just as parents seek quality education abroad for their children because they do not trust the system at home; just as teachers and doctors seek better paying jobs abroad because they cannot rely on the system at home to pay a living wage; and just as patients (both the rich and the struggling) are forced to seek quality or available medical care abroad, because they do not trust the systems at home to provide either. My good friend Mike Ejiofor, the retired DSS Director now-turned public analyst on security matters, is more than an existential ‘witness’ in the reality check that practical experience affords over idyllic opinionation. He is in fact an ‘exhibit’. For long Ejiofor had been an advocate of ‘no negotiation with kidnappers’. But not after he was kidnapped to a forest somewhere between Ekiti and Kogi states. Thereafter he recanted, and now publicly preach a new, realistic evangel: ‘obey thy captors, negotiate’! When the odds are stacked against, even the ‘almighty’ America negotiates. But on an ironic side note, I did not have the luxury to negotiate my freedom while in Abacha’s gulag and under the care of Mike Ejiofor, then the Service’s Director of Operations. But concerning the prison that my beloved wife’s critical medical condition had put me recently, at least I had the luxury to decide I would rather be not ‘patriotic’ than submit her life to the uncertain vagaries of our dilapidated medical system. I took her to the Iranian Hospital in Dubai –one of many such partnership between Dubai and other countries with advanced medical knowhow. And as the Hausas would say ‘wanka yaa biya

kudin sabulu’ –the result was worth the trouble. There I learned that Gallbladder stones or ‘gallstones’ -unlike their pathogenic cousins (kidney stones) which are formed mostly from overconcentration of calcium and uric acid- are formed from bile deposits containing undissolved cholesterol or excess bilirubin –an intermediate product of the breakdown of hemoglobin in the liver. My wife’s resulted from the former. Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. My wife’s eleven removed stones were each the size of a pebble. Gallstones are common in most people but may become complicated only in those disposed to risk factors like being: female, over forty, overweight, sedentary, diabetic or high-cholesterol-eating. My wife insists she was a victim only of gender. And although they may stray from time to time, into the bile duct to the bowel to be passed as stool, gallstones may also get stuck in the duct and cause inflammation of the gallbladder, blockade of the bile duct or of the pancreatic duct or may even cause gallbladder cancer. My wife’s had done all these except become cancerous because thanks to the operation that possibility has been permanently eliminated. Tests to diagnose gallstones and to generate images of their locations and sizes preparatory to their removal, include but may not be limited to: abdominal ultrasound, Computerized Tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Gallstones can be removed either by the traditional ‘open surgery’ system which opens an 8 to 10 inch incision on the abdomen for surgeons in the theater to grapple with the elements as would a butcher at the abattoir, or they may be removed by the now avant-garde method of laproscopy, a ‘minimally invasive’ method (termed ‘keyhole surgery’) with three tiny, half-inched holes on the abdomen by which surgical tools including a camera are inserted and manipulated on a screen to conduct the operation. This surgery, as even I can testify, has shorter recovery time and ‘better qualityof-life-outcome’ than the ‘open surgery’ method and patients are almost immediately discharged and in no time may resume their normal life. And unlike ‘open surgery’, laproscopy has 99% success rate when conducted by the appropriate medical personnel and under the right condition. Postcript Research has shown that many medical tourists who go to the United States ‘seek advanced and sophisticated procedures that are either unavailable or rationed in their countries’. And yes, there may be filthy rich persons who regale in the luxury or glamour of medical tourism abroad, but for majority of health seekers globally, it is not because they swim in superfluous riches; rather a great number of them are forced by circumstances -the search either for ‘available’ or sometimes even ‘affordable’ Medicare. Yet many go looking for particular medical remedies which may be scarce because they are expensive (so that even the superbly rich must go looking for them), or they may go in search of ‘affordable’ remedies where the ‘available’ ones are prohibitive. Which is not to suggest that ‘availability’ and ‘affordability’ alone are endnotes to the fundamental raison d’être for medical tourism outside of one’s country. Because where a particular medical remedy is both available and affordable, it may still not be qualitative. Or it may even be more expensive at the domestic level than abroad. Again where there is just one quality remedy available, those who can afford it may still search for options from among many competing quality remedies. But truth is: the right to seek medical remedy abroad belongs to all who can afford it; except those who had a chance but woefully failed to make it available to all of us. This I learnt from many of my FaceBook friends particularly Tunde Asaju, who vehemently disagreed that I am one of those who should share in the collective guilt of the current state of our medical system.

Our POSITION Beyond passage of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill Recently, the Senate passed the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill which the House of Representatives had passed almost a year ago. The bill if transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari and receives his assent before the 8th National Assembly winds up in the first week of June this year, will definitely upgrade the funding of Nigeria Police. As it is now, only the Federal Government is legally responsible for the funding of the Nigeria Police, even though we all know that States Government, some corporate entities and individuals are bearings some of its day to day running expenses if not the larger part of it. The Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill is meant to address the inadequacy in funding of police particularly the training of its personnel and acquisition of modern equipment that would enable optimal and effective policing of the country. One of the major objectives of the bill is to improve funding for the Nigeria Police Force. This point was further stressed by President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who presided over the Senate that belatedly passed the bill. He was very clear in his remark that by the passage of the bill the National Assembly had fulfilled its promise to pass it before expiration of the 8th Assembly. “By passing this bill, we will be creating big strides towards providing and improving security and policing in our country. We agree with him that “one of the

major concerns about our police has always been the issue of funding”. We believe that this bill will provide leeway for the funding needed for training, recruitment and equipment. It will also act as a relief to the Federal Government who had borne the burden all these years. Technically, the bill is aimed at providing a legal framework for the management and control of the special intervention funds established under the Act for the training of personnel of the NPF. The trust fund should also be utilised to enhance the skills of the personnel of the Police in order to ensure their effectiveness in the overall performance. Needles to state that constant improvement in the performance of their duties is what the country is craving for. We also expect that the trust fund would be used to ensure that the NPF has the necessary operational equipment, instructional materials, build and maintain police stations and living quarters. We therefore appeal to the President to consider assenting the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill as soon as it is transmitted to him to avoid it been elapsed in June this year. Though, we are not expecting that the bill may contain contentious provisions, we plead that in case there is any, it should be resolved hastily. The management of the police force should be thinking how to make best use of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Bill and safeguard it to ensure that it is not bedeviled by graft and all forms of vices.

FG appeals $55m debt recovery suit against Agip Peter Fowoyo, Lagos A $55 million debt recovery suit filed by the federal government against Agip Oil Company Limited was on Wednesday dismissed by a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos over insufficient evidence. But, the federal government has approached the Court of Appeal, Lagos division asking the appellate court to set aside the decision of the lower court. In a notice of appeal brought by the federal government against Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Limited, the appellant is seeking for an order allowing the appeal and setting aside the judgment of the lower court delivered on May 8, 2019 in suit No: FHC/L/ CS/320/16- Federal Government V. Brasoil Oil Services Company Limited by which it granted the claims of the respondents as contained in its statement of defence. The suit filed three years ago by counsel to the government, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu (SAN) is one among other suits by the government seeking to recover almost $12 billion in missing crude oil revenue from some international oil companies. The plaintiff is claiming the sum of $55 million against Agip, representing a shortfall in the amount of excess crude lifted out of Nigeria onboard the vessel MT Cosmos. Parties had closed their cases in November 2018 and had adopted final addresses on February 21, 2019 while the court reserved

judgment until May 8. Justice Mojisola Olatoregun first gave a highlight of the facts of the case as stated in the plaintiff’s claim and also the various arguments as canvassed by parties in support of their respective cases. Reiterating the reliefs sought by parties, the court posed a pertinent question; “has the plaintiff succeeded in proving its case to entitle it to a grant of the reliefs sought?” The court held that it is trite and settled law that he who asserts must prove, adding that although, allegations were made, the plaintiff failed to establish same on a preponderance of evidence. “The burden of proof starts with the plaintiff and keeps shifting until all the required evidence is placed before the court. Exhibit DA 10 shows that MT Cosmos was nominated to ship 949, 096 barrels of crude oil and exhibit DC 10 from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources shows the barrel of crude oil as 949, 096 barrels from MT Cosmos. “The plaintiff cited the same bill of lading number, but l have no reason to suggest that the bill of lading covers the excess 500, 000 barrels of crude oil. While I do not have any evidence to suggest that it is impossible for the defendant to carry undeclared crude oil from Nigeria, l have no evidence to show that MT Cosmos carried the excess 500, 000 barrels of crude oil with same bill of lading,” she held The court held that the plaintiff failed to prove its case by supplying the requisite evidences,

adding that the main purpose of final addresses is to assist the court. “It is trite law that whoever asserts, must prove that the facts exist; no amount of brilliant address can make up for a lack of evidence. The plaintiff failed to make out a case that 500, 000 barrels of crude oil was offloaded in Pennsylvania; the case of the plaintiff fails on the lack of proof on the preponderance of evidence. “At this stage, I do not find it necessary to proceed with the evaluation of the other reliefs. I therefore, proceed to make an order dismissing this suit; it is hereby dismissed,” the court held. During trial, the plaintiff called one witness and tendered three exhibits before the court, while the defendant also called one witness and tendered 12 exhibits. The court also dismissed a similar suit against Brasoil, seeking to recover the sum of $4.8million in missing oil revenue. The federal government had also sued Total E&P Nigeria Plc, alleging that the oil company underdeclared the volume of crude oil it shipped out of the country between January 2011 -December 2014. Government accused the oil company of short-changing it to the tune of $245 million by allegedly shipping several barrels of crude oil out of Nigeria, without making due remittances to the government. Similar suits are also pending against Chevron Nigeria Limited, Chevron Petroleum Nigeria Limited, Shell Western Supply & Trading Limited among others.

Court adjourns until May 24 forfeiture Short News Bauchi will surmount emerging suit against Patience Jonathan Andrew Orulua, Abuja A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday adjourned until May 24, a suit filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seeking the final forfeiture of about $8.4 million and N7.4 billion found in accounts allegedly linked to former First Lady, Patience Jonathan. Justice Mojisola Olatoregun adjourned the suit for continuation of affidavit evidence, after defence counsel informed the court that the defence requires time to look at a counter -affidavit served on it by the anti-graft agency. Before yesterday’s hearing, the EFCC had in April 20, 2018, secured an interim order for forfeiture of the amounts before Justice Olatoregun following a motion ex parte. It joined as respondents, Patience Jonathan, Globus Integrated Services Limited, Finchley Top Homes Limited, Am-Pm Global Network

Limited, Pagmat Oil and Gas Limited and Magel Resort Limited and Esther Oba. On October 29 of the same year, counsel to the EFCC, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo had moved his motion for final forfeiture of the sums, urging that same be finally forfeited to the federal government. However, defence counsel, Messrs Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Mr. Ige Asemudara respectively, had moved their processes opposing the motion for final forfeiture. On January 15, 2019, the court had admitted electronic evidences presented by respondent counsel which depicted video exhibits showing various business outfits of Finchley Top Homes Limited. and Magel Resort Limited. The court had then adjourned for judgment. But, in a judgment delivered on February 28, the court held that it finds the affidavit evidences conflicting, adding that same can

only be resolved by the oral evidences of parties to the suit and thereafter, ordered the parties to call their witnesses. At the last adjourned date, an EFCC witness, Mr. Orji Chukwuma had concluded evidence before the court after which the court had adjourned for continuation of evidence. When the case was called yesterday, the EFCC counsel, Oyedepo informed the court that he had filed a counter -affidavit which he had served on the defence, adding that he was ready to proceed. Confirming the service of the counter –affidavit, defence counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), added that there were new facts deposed in same which he requires time to look at and respond appropriately. He therefore, sought an adjournment which was not opposed by other counsel. Consequently, the court adjourned until May 24 for continuation of trial during which evidence will now continue.

He said the objectives of modern policing/crime control in tune with global best practices is to amongst others contribute toward the creation of reinforcement of trust in communities. “Our strategy would generally be integrated intelligence-led community policing which transcends just law enforcement to embrace human security and development services, but necessarily require diverse expertise and whole community support. “Our policing have to be driven by fore knowledge and guided by intelligence, strategic operational and tactical levels,” he explained.

Insecurity: FG expects 12 coaches for Abuja - Kaduna rail line Tunde Opalana, Abuja To address the increase in the number of passengers plying the Abuja- Kaduna rail line, the federal government is expecting 12 new coaches to arrive the country in the next eight weeks. The expected coaches are part of the 64 ordered from China by the federal government as part of short term measures to alleviate the sufferings of motorists who have abandoned the Abuja Kaduna highway following the wave kidnapping, armed robbery, insurgency and banditry along the ever busy highway. Chairman, Senate Committee on Land Transport, Sen. Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos East) made the disclosure on Wednesday during plenary. Sen. Ashafa revealed that the federal government has paid for 64 coaches, but lamented that the Chinese company building the coaches is only ready with 12 coaches that would be delivered in the next eight weeks. He however, attributed lack of funds as the problem facing the rail system in the country, just as the Senate urged the federal government to deploy more coaches to the Abuja-Kaduna rail line to ameliorate the plight of passengers. Also, the Senate urged the Nigerian Railway

Corporation (NRC) to increase the frequency of trips on the Abuja- Kaduna rail route while it referred the recommendation for the reduction of train fare to the corporation to study the transport fare system before reducing or increasing the rail fare. But, in apparent fear that nothing may likely be done at the moment to address the security challenges in the country, some senators expressed concern that something concrete should be done urgently to make the rail system work effectively, traveling on some of the nation’s roads is becoming dangerous. These Senate resolutions were sequel to the adoption of a motion titled sponsored by Sen. Ali Ndume (Borno South). Leading debate on the motion, Sen. Ndume noted that most passengers en route AbujaKaduna have turned to the railway as a safer means of transport, adding that the surge in the patronage of the rail services may be attributed to its safety, comfort, convenience and perhaps, affordability which have drawn many commuters following the high risk on the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway that is threatened by kidnappers, armed robbers and other kinds of criminals. Sen. Ndume noted the huge numbers of travellers jostling for tickets at the rail station,

adding that shortage in the number of available coaches explain the long queues recorded at the stations. Narrating his experience, the Borno senator said that he stood on a two -hour second class coach from Abuja - Kaduna before a good spirited passenger offered him a seat, asserting that the number of passengers standing on each train trip outnumber those sitting. Contributing to the debate, Sen. Shehu Sani stated that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line has become the oxygen and lifeline of the people, adding that the Abuja-Kaduna Road has become one of the most dangerous roads in the country. Sen. James Manager however, disagreed with this assertion, insisting that the AbujaKaduna Road is the most dangerous in the country, adding that only those who want to commit suicide use the road at the moment. Both Senators Manager and Yahaya Abdullahi argued that it will be unfeasible for the Senate to unilaterally reduce rail fares without recourse to the NRC. The Senate therefore, tasked security agencies to intensify security on the Abuja -Kaduna Expressway as permanent solution to the worsening security situation.

The federal government has given approval for the issuance of licence to Casava Micro-Insurance Limited as the second state composite microinsurance operator in Nigeria. This is in furtherance of its continuous efforts at deepening insurance penetration and increasing insurance points in the country. By this approval, Casava Limited has become the second stand-alone fullfledged microinsurance operator in Nigeria. The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) while announcing the approval in Abuja on Wednesday, said Casava Micro-Insurance Limited emerged successful among several applications received by the commission from individuals and corporate entities that requested for registration as microinsurance operators in Nigeria. In a statement by the Head, Commissioner’s Directorate, Mr. Salami Rasaaq, the commission said “as a state composite micro -insurance company transacting life and general micro -insurance businesses in Lagos only, Casava Micro -Insurance Limited is the only successful company among several applications received in the commission from individuals and corporate entities requesting registration as micro insurance operator in Nigeria.

Consulate-general assures on prompt delivery of CCECC projects Patrick Okohue The acting Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China in Lagos, Guan Zhonggu has said that major ongoing infrastructure works in Nigeria, especially the railways, deep sea ports and free trade zones handled by CCECC aimed at accelerating industrialization and urbanization will not suffer any form of delay in delivery as the projects will be delivered as agreed. According to him, 60 per cent of the first phase of its bilateral partnership agreement with Nigeria through the CCECC would be completed by 2021. Guan made this assertion at a press parley held in the Chinese consulate office in Lagos, to sensitize the world about its open trade policy framework designed by his home government. Also, while reeling out the progress report of the Chinese/Nigeria bilateral agreement, Liu Junsheng, the commercial consul, revealed that the Nigeria railway modernization project Lagos-Ibadan section with extension to Apapa Port, connecting three important states namely Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states has a total contract sum of $1.581billion.

Tribunal upholds order for Akpabio to inspect election materials Isaac Job, Uyo The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state has rejected the application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to vacate the order granted by the tribunal authorizing Senator Godswill Akpabio to inspect all election materials. Tribunal Chairman, Justice W. O. Akanbi had on April 2 granted an ex parte order to Sen. Akpabio and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to inspect materials in the custody of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). PDP’s lawyer, Solomon Umoh (SAN) had filed an application before the tribunal seeking to set aside the petitioner’s request for forensic analysis of election materials as well as dismiss all reliefs granted to the petitioner because the inspection of the election materials has been prejudiced. He also argued that the only grounds of obtaining an order must be by motion

on notice which according to him, the respondents failed to file. However, in his ruling Chairman of the tribunal, Justice W. O. Akanbi, declared that the PDP’s application for the reversal of the inspection order was an act alien to law. Justice Akanbi agreed with the submissions of counsel to Sen. Akpabio, Sunday Ameh (SAN) that Chris Ekpenyong and the PDP suffered no prejudice having been invited to be part of the inspection process. He said the PDP counsel only succeeded in “hell-raising technicalities to waste the time of the tribunal, asserting that Akpabio’s demand to inspect the electoral materials and the tribunal order granting same were in line with the provisions of Section 151 (1 & 2) of the Electoral Act. The tribunal chairman while dismissing PDP’s argument that the ex parte order for the inspection of election materials does not align with the provisions of the Electoral Act, noted that any order from a court of competent jurisdiction in relation to the inspection

is valid because the Electoral Act does not specify which order should be accommodated or rejected. He further declared that the PDP’s motion for an order to stop the forensic analysis of the election materials was lacking in merit because any party in court is at liberty to state any of its preferred method of inspection. “Any party is at liberty to adopt any method of inspection. The parties involved in an election can chose to bring in forensic experts. The inspection can also be manually done. Even if the inspection is done with laboratory equipment, the law is okay with that,” he noted and likened the PDP’s action to “crying wolf where there is none.” Speaking to newsmen after the ruling, Mr. Patrick Umoh, who stood in for the petitioner’s lead counsel, said the ruling had deepened the nation’s judicial practice. The ruling is seen as a major boost for Sen. Akpabio to reclaim his mandate in an election which he believes was won by him. The tribunal adjourned further sitting to May 10.

‘Nigeria needs 2.5m engineers, technicians to achieve SDGs’ Tom Okpe, Abuja President of the United Nations General Assembly, Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces has challenged women to focus on science related courses, declaring that the nation needs 2.5 million engineers and technicians if Nigeria is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) because men alone cannot fill the requirement gap. Speaking in Abuja at the National Council for Women Development ((NCWD) where she was hosted by the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Aisha Abubakar on the theme: “Role of women and girls in the achievement of the SDGs, including sustaining peaceful societies,” she expressed joy at the role women engineers are playing to advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers for girls.

She said that based on a study by UNESCO, the country needs 2.5 million new engineers and technicians to achieve the SDGs on water and sanitation, adding that “men alone cannot make up this shortfall. “I have made it a priority to meet with women politicians, civil society, private sector and the youth wherever I go because quite simply, there is no way we will achieve our vision of a safer, fairer and more sustainable world without the full participation and leadership of women and girls. “It is fantastic that you have a female senior special assistant to the President on the SDGs. At the United Nations, another Nigerian woman, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed is spearheading the secretariat’s efforts on the SDGs. Women hold the presidency of the general assembly and the economic and social council. Women oversee all five UN regional commissions. “But, dear friends, as you well know, this is only part of the picture. I am proud to be the

fourth woman and first Latin American woman to hold the position of president of the general assembly. “But, it is also a sign of how much still needs to be done. It is still the case that women lag behind on virtually every SDG target. And the gap is even greater for older women, for women with disabilities, for women in rural areas and for women from minority and indigenous communities.” She therefore, urged all women to continue to make the case for the full inclusion of women and girls in efforts to achieve the SDGs as it is not a difficult case to make. In her welcome remarks, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Aisha Abubakar said that “it is my hope that this visit will further stimulate greater partnership and collaboration between Nigeria and the United Nations as we strive to improve the status and welfare of the under-privileged members of our society.”

The handover of the new complex executed under the church’s Christian Social Responsibility initiative was well attended by top police officers and senior pastors of the Redeemed Church. Pastor-in-Charge of RCCG, Lagos Province 47, Pastor Femi Obaweya, said he noticed that the facility at the canine division of Area F was not befitting for the police during a routine visit, disclosing that he noticed that the dog houses were not in good condition. “I also observed that there was no direct water supply to the facility which also, was a challenge to the effective running of the place. I then promised that the church would look into the challenges there and then. “We’ve also supported the police by erecting a borehole and providing a 3.8KVA generator to power the surface tank. We’ve replaced all the metal gadgets with new ones for the training of the dogs,” the pastor stated. Speaking also at the ceremony, the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Christian Social Responsibility, RCCG, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, said that the complex was renovated as a contribution and appreciation to the police for the good work they are doing in Lagos.

“Code Wilo”: Heritage Bank empowers potentials in creative industry Temitope Adebayo Heritage Bank Plc, Nigeria’s most innovative financial services provider has restated its commitment to empower the Nigerian creative industry, as well boost the economy via hosting a private screening of Cut 24 Production’s political thriller, Code Wilo. The event took place at the prestigious Terra Culture recently in Lagos. The event was graced by senior members of staff of the bank, some of the cast and crew of the movie, fans, movie critics and some of the industry finest celebrities. Addressing the audience, Chidi Agu, Head of Content and Digital Banking of Heritage Bank, said the bank hosted the show because it has recognised the potentials in the creative industry, both in the ability to empower the population as well as to lift the economy generally. He said the bank has been involved in some activities that championed the interest of people in the creative industry and the production of creative outputs. Agu said the bank has also tried to put their works in better perspective so that they could be measured and monetised. Also speaking Hauwa Allabura, the movie producer expressed delight in being able to explore her creative skills while telling a unique story in the movie. According to her, “After my last movie “The Eve” I wanted to tell a story that is unique and relevant to the state of the country. One that beautifully explores the rich culture of our land and distinctively addresses the issues we are faced with.” Code Wilo, which was produced by Hauwa Allahbura, is a story that touches on themes like preelection violence, politics, and the horrors caused by the powers that be in certain areas in the South-South pre1999 democracy. It is a story of a strong-willed woman running for the gubernatorial position of her state. Apparently, certain about what she wanted and also concerned about her elder brother who believed the seat is his, she forged ahead to make a move that works for her. But she gets more than a rude shock at an event that was meant to change her course positively. She now has to fight for more than the right to serve her people and her own life. The major casts in Code Wilo are: Zack Orji, Eucharia Anunobi, Gabriel Afolayan, Kalu Ikeagwu, Bikiya Graham-Douglas among others.

Speaking as a guest lecturer at the Capital Market Correspondent’s Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN), quarterly forum on Wednesday in Lagos, Prof. Uwaleke advised investors to boost their investments in the market in order to take opportunities of market reversal commencing end of the second quarter. Unveiling higher earnings opportunities in the Nigerian stock market, Unalike expressed optimism that the stock market would rebound in the third quarter. He said that the country’s market PE ratio ranks lower than established PE ratio index of established global investment firms, therefore establishing greater room for growth. Uwaleke, who lectured on the theme ‘Stock Market in the first quarter of 2019 and post-election prospects” said that that the Nigerian market which ranked as the world’s third most rewarding market in 2017, ranking only after Turkey and Argentina, and became bearish subsequently, is poised to enter into another bullish era. On the factors that will drive the

market in the third quarter, Uwaleke said that unfolding internal and external factors would impact the equities market positively. He said that swearing in of the newly elected president and early constitution of cabinet members, lowering Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), increase in the minimum wage, increase in oil price and continued stability in foreign exchange (FX) would impact on the market. Uwaleke who also doubles as the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Abuja branch, President listed other factors that will drive the stock market’s reversal in the third quarter to include, continued moderation in inflation, steady growth in Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), early signing of 2019 budget and implementation, improved growth in the non-oil sector amongst others, adding that “all these projections are higher than what we saw in 2018” He said that the planned introduction of derivative instruments in the market by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), of which preparations have reached an advanced stage at both SEC and the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), would help investors both foreign and indigenous investors to hedge their investments. “The NSE is really waiting for SEC to finalise the rule for the derivatives to be introduced, it will give investors room to hedge risks”, Uwaleke said. He said that the CBN’s MPC triggered

the market supportive move in March 2019, by bringing down MPR by 50bps, after 33 successive months, to 13.50 per cent from 14 per cent, adding that he sees prospects of further reduction in the MPR soon. “Lower MPR will free funds for investments or lending to firms for expansion which will improve their earnings and deliver more value to investors. It has a way of attracting investors, opening the market and hedging risks”, he stated. According to him, the expected listing on the NSE, by MTN, is expected to boost market liquidity, diversify offerings as the company will become the second most capitalised company in the market, after Dangote Cement Plc. He added that the Nigerian Pension Commission (PENCOM)’s six multifold structure rule expected to boost PENCOM’s investment in the equity market, as well as the margin lending rule, currently being worked on by the SEC and efforts at deepening domestic investors participation in the market were some of the measures expected to driver early market reversal in the Netherlands third quarter. Speaking on how minimum wage increase will impact positively on the market, he said “’ this is the time to take a position, the minimum wage will be positive for the capital market, inflation is caused by weak aggregate demand, but new minimum wage will rather boost aggregate demand, driven by a greater number of people having more disposable

income and also money to save.” He said that it is unlikely for another economic recession in Nigeria because of the factors that contributed to the recession in 2016, are currently none existent. “Crude oil price is not bad today, the external reserve is healthy, inflation rate at 11 per cent is healthy” he said. Speaking on some external factors likely to drive market reversal in Q3 2019, Uwaleke listed, crude oil price, the declining trend of yield in the US which will likely bring about capital flow to emerging markets, Easing US-China trade tension, and easing Brexit tension, amongst other factors which will impact Nigeria’s market positively. He noted that the market closed the Q1 2019 bearish, caused by what he termed as systemic risk and non-systemic risk. “The non-systemic risks are risks associated with the operations of the companies, a risk that is particular to a company and doesn’t affect other companies. Non-systemic risk contrasts with systemic risk, which is a risk that applies to all companies in a market or industry and doesn’t affect other companies, while systemic risk, affects all companies in a market or industry,” he said. He also attributed the Q1 2019 market decline to partly caused by the rebalancing of portfolio, movement form equities to fixed income, herding behaviors’ of investors, flight for safety by foreign investors, panic by investors, among others.

SEC approves MTN Nigeria listing on NSE Motolani Oseni The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday said it had approved MTN Nigeria’s application to list on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) by way of introduction. Head, Corporate Communications, Mrs Efe Ebelo, confirmed this on Wednesday, stating that the company had successfully completed the registration of 20,354,513,050 ordinary shares of N0.02 each with the commission.

SEC recently acknowledged it received an application from MTN requesting for registration of its existing securities. “They have applied for listing by an introduction which will enable the company to be listed and allow shareholders to sell their shares on the floor of the exchange”, Ebelo said. Also, Mr Henry Rowlands, SEC’s Acting Executive Commissioner, Corporate Services, explained that the commission was committed to working with MTN Nigeria. “SEC is committed to working with them, when they list by way of introduction

naturally it will translate to public offering by and large. Mr Ambrose Omordion, the Chief Operating Officer, InvestData Ltd, commended SEC for the speedy approval. Omordion said the July target for the listing by MTN Nigeria would be feasible with the approval, noting that the listing might be concluded before the date. The company had previously announced that it planned to list on the NSE before July by way of listing by introduction. Speaking on the conversion, Fredi Moolman, MTN’s Chief Executive Officer,

said the listing was part of the company’s commitment to localisation in the markets in which it operates. “Our conversion to a Plc is a major step towards listing by introduction on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in the first half of 2019. “It is a reaffirmation of our long-term commitment to expanding investment opportunities for Nigerians, in addition to providing everyday services to them. “We look forward to continuing our engagement with the SEC and NSE to take forward the listing process,” Moolman said.

CPN tasks media on professionalism in ICT sector Ladesope Ladelokun Computer Professionals (Registration Council of Nigeria), CPN, has charged media practitioners to highlight the importance of professionalism in the Information and Communication Technology(ICT) sector and the need to register with the council in their reportage. The President/Chairman-in-Council of CPN, Prof Charles Uwadia made this call at the CPN /media executive forum in Lagos.

Uwadia said it was important to determine the standards of knowledge and skills to be attained by those desirous of joining the computing profession with a view to improving their skills. According to Uwadia, any professional practising without registering with the council will not just be deemed a quack, they would be penalized according to the letters of the law as the CPN has been mandated by law to regulate control and supervise the computing profession and practice in Nigeria. He explained that the Act mandated the

council to regularly publish list of licensed members of the council, noting that anyone whose name is not in the register would be considered a quack. He further stressed that every registered member would be a beneficiary of benefits that accrue to members of the council. “Anybody that is part of us will derive the benefit that’s accrued to every member of the council. And anybody that is not part of us and he or she is practising is going against the law of the land and should be penalized accordingly.” In the same vein, the council’s registrar,

Mr Alwell Achumba, said it was important for individuals engaged in IT training, sale or use of computing facilities and provision of services to be licensed by the council, adding that there was a need for a robust relationship between the council and the media to highlight the importance of this. The CPN is a corporate entity with the responsibility of controlling, supervising and regulating the computing profession in Nigeria. The council is under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Education. The council was established through Act No. 49 of 1993.

FG to introduce fresh regulatory reforms for Maritime investors The Federal Government has assured the international oil and gas stakeholders that the Nigerian maritime sector is safe for investment and that special tax regime is under consideration to grow capacity for the industry in the country. The Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside said that the agency has commenced regulatory reforms to ensure a businessfriendly maritime environment to spur economic growth hinged on both foreign and indigenous investors. Speaking on the sideline of Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas, USA, on Wednesday, Peterside assured the international community that NIMASA is committed to growing in-country capacity so that collaboration between Nigerian and

foreigners can take place without fear of compromising standards. According to him, “We are building up capacity and creating the right regulatory framework for the Nigerian maritime sector. We believe that our threedimensional approach of creating the right regulatory environment, providing easy asses to capital, build capacity, and facilitate access to business opportunities will hasten the indigenous capacity development. The regulation ought not to stifle businesses, regulation ought to support business, spur economic growth. Without endangering the environment and the people.” Speaking further on Cabotage implementation in Nigeria, Dr Dakuku said that the Agency is in discussion with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Nigerian Customs Service on the need

to create a special tariff regime for those importing Vessels and vessel parts into the country. “At the moment, a temporary import permit mainly granted foreigners attract just 1per cent but importing vessel by Nigerian attract 13 per cent so it’s difficult to compete. We are engaging the Nigeria Customs Service on the need to review this regime. We have also made appreciable progress in our discussions with the Central bank of Nigeria to see Nigerians in the maritime sector have access to single digit facilities so they can compete favourably with their international peers”, he said. Besides, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Alhaji Sabiu Zakari, noted that Nigeria is aware of the drift towards deep sea exploration and policies to enhance effective maritime

transport are now being considered by the Federal Government. Alhaji Zakari said that the report by the International Maritime Bureau that piracy has declined in Nigerian Waters in the first quarter of 2019 is an attestation that efforts of President Buhari led administration in safety and security in the maritime sector has started yielding fruits. “Nigerian waters are safe- NIMASA deep blue project in collaboration with the Nigerian Navy, and all other security agencies in Nigeria is already in motion and will use the latest technology to track all vessels in Nigerian waters and reduce criminality to the barest minimum. Foreigners with genuine business interest are welcome to invest in Nigeria. So many have come and are enjoying benefits of their investment”, he said.

The Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions (ASURI), has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to establish the National Research and Innovation Council (NRIC) which was initiated since 1966. In a statement signed by the SecretaryGeneral of ASURI, Dr Theophilus Ndubuaku said that “The current status of the NRIC (Establishment) Bill, 2019 is that it was passed by the National Assembly in 2018, but was returned back by Mr President, citing some grey areas.” “We would like you to note that the NRIC Bill is a component of the agreement reached by the federal government /Organised labour 16-Man Technical Committee on Minimum Wage and Palliatives.” The union which represents the interests of researchers in Federal Research and Development Institutions (RDIs), Colleges of Agriculture and Forestry, Allied Institutions and Centres, said the committee had made recommendations for the establishment of a tax fund. “The Committee recommended, in Section 1.9.30 of the report, that the “Establishment of a Tax Fund for Adequate and Consistent Funding of Research Institutes, Colleges of Agriculture and Forestry and Allied Institutions. “The the palliative committee deliberated extensively on the socioeconomic status and concluded that the neglect of research and Science and Technology (S&T) by successive Nigerian governments since independence is the underlying reason for the challenges of insecurity and other national malaise which are currently threatening to dismember the fabric of the Nigerian nation thereby pushing the nation to the brink of a failed state.” He further explained that “It is noteworthy that the National Policy on Science and Technology (NPST) was initiated since 1966 and has been revised not less than 13 times since then without the political will to implement it until January 7, 2016, when President Buhari inaugurated the NRIC which is the main impetus of the NPST. To complement the inauguration by the President, 50 Senators co-sponsored the NRIC Bill, which is almost a verbatim adaptation of the 2012 version of the NPC provides the enabling statute for the Council.” “ASURI is very explicitly conscious of the enormous economic potentials of Nigeria. We assert the incontestable fact that Nigeria is either second to none or maybe to the USA in terms of diversity, quantity and quality of human and natural resources.” “Though Nigeria has been designated as the current poverty capital of the world, ASURI remains confident that establishing the NRIC is the key to making our nation great again. Ndubuaku stressed that Nigeria unbelievably operates close to zero budgetary allocation to research. In most of the over 150 Nigerian Research and Development Institutions (RDIs) and centres, research and training activities are self-funded by researchers because they must acquire higher degrees and produce research publications before they can be promoted at every stage of their careers. Consequently, Nigerian career researchers are the poorest cadre of public servants as they must devote over half of their salaries for research if they must advance in their profession.”

LG, Guber Elections: Bayelsa PDP sues for unity among members Says it has capacity, spread to win LG, guber polls Stories by Patrick Okohue The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State has called on its members to remain united ahead of the July 27 and November 2, 2019 local council and governorship elections. Chairman of the party in the state, Hon. Cleopas Moses who made the call at a media briefing in Yenagoa shortly after a closed door meeting with some critical stakeholders of the party, said the party has the spread and capacity to win any election that is freely conducted in the state, but that will be more realistic if it sustains the current peace and togetherness within its fold. Hon. Moses disclosed that the stakeholders meeting became imperative in view of the release of the guidelines for the forthcoming elections by the electoral umpire. He explained that the party leadership saw the need to engage the stakeholders to brainstorm on the best approach for the elections which includes mass mobilisation of grassroots support across the state. The PDP chairman who announced tentative dates for the conduct of the party’s primaries for the local council election said the dates will be confirmed after the national secretariat has given its nod. Hon. Moses urged intending chairmanship and councillorship aspirants to legitimately go about their aspirations and consult widely

Femi Gbajabiamila named Face of Alaka Children’s Day Celebration The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila has been named the face of Alaka Children’s Day Celebration. The event, a celebration of children in Nigeria, will take place on Monday, May 27, 2019 at Alaka Community Recreation Centre, Surulere. A statement issued in Lagos by MediaGate Management and the Alaka LSDPC Residents Community Development Association named the aspiring Speaker of the House of Representatives as the ambassador and face of the 2019 Alaka Children’s Day Celebration because of his outstanding legislative performance in the Nigeria’s House of Representatives and the empowerment of the people of Surulere.

“The choice was informed by his outstanding achievements in the holistic development of Nigeria, his consistency in the course that seeks to prime humanity to loftier heights and passion for issues concerning Nigeria.” The statement signed by Henry Ebireri, Soji Odusina, Peter Odukoya, Nasir Olayinka, Abimbola Coker, Kayode Odu and Taiwo Alao praised Gbajabiamila for his role in community development, capacity building, death of the third term debate and the invocation of the doctrine of necessity. Stressing the impact of Gbajabiamila, particularly in the areas of quality representation, empowerment of the youths and women as well as sustainability of economic, social and infrastructural development

in the country, the statement commended Gbajabiamila for sponsoring the highest number of Bills in the National Assembly and demonstrating his philanthropic gesture by distributing no fewer than 501 computer tablets to secondary school students, 30 new buses, 25 tricycles and160 motorcycles to his constituents. The statement commended Gbajabiamila for attracting jobs, political appointments and federal projects to Surulere. The statement also praised the member representing Surulere Constituency 1 for sanitising and stabilising democracy in Nigeria, bringing governance closer to the people, improving the quality of education in schools through ICT tools and establishing various programmes to improve the lives of his primary constituents.

Dickson as well as engage in consensus building in order to have a rancour free electoral process. He told newsmen, “Today, we met in view of the coming elections. The meeting had in attendance the leadership of the party, the political desk and some critical stakeholders. It was mainly to brainstorm on how to go about the election. “Like you all know the PDP is one big family and we have the capacity and spread to win elections provided it is freely and fairly conducted. We call on our members to continue to maintain the peace and oneness that is currently within the party. “What we discussed here will be transmitted to His Excellency

the governor by the deputy who directly is supervising whatever we are doing. We have rolled out a tentative plan of activities for the elections, but because we are a very organised party we are waiting for our national to approve it and give us the go ahead. So by this weekend everything will be clear. “Like our leader the governor will say, all legitimate ambitions are welcomed. However, we don’t want any rancour so we advise all aspirants to consult widely and engage in consensus building. The time for the local government election is short so we want to see how we can if possible have single chairmanship and councillorship aspirants before the election,” he said.

Financial autonomy for local governments, start of silent restructuring, says group The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has commenced a silent restructuring of the polity with the tacit enforcement of financial autonomy for local governments by the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU). This according to the group will invariably pave way for full autonomy of the third tier of government and ensure that more power is devolved to the grassroots. BMO said in a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke that this is in line with one of the electoral promises of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the run up to the 2015 elections. “President Buhari is quietly embarking on a step that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) does not have proper clarity on but mouthed as a gambit to win the 2019 election which it eventually lost with the largest margin known in Nigeria’s recent political history. “We at BMO, like many Nigerians, know that local government funds have over the years been hijacked by some state governors through the State/Local Government Joint Accounts so much

so that the council authorities had been reduced to appendages of the Government House in many states. “It’s no surprise therefore that the NFIU said in a report that the accounts posed ‘the biggest corruption, money laundering and security threats at the grassroots and to the entire financial system and the country.’ “And what the Buhari administration has now done is to simply take steps to ensure the enforcement of extant laws on local government funding as enshrined in section 162 (6) and (8) of the 1999 constitution without necessarily pushing for an amendment,” it said. The group noted that it was the second time in as many weeks that a government agency would announce the use of existing laws by the President Buhari-led administration to further its quest for restructuring. BMO said: “The first one was the announcement by Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu of the President’s approval of a Community Policing initiative which would give local communities a larger say in their own security structure.

“He had explained at a forum of Traditional Rulers in Northern Nigeria that it would involve the establishment and utilisation of Special Constables, as provided for in Section 50 (1) of the Police Act Cap P19 LFN 2004 but would be modelled after the Police Community Support Officers standard in the United Kingdom Policing Architecture and tailored to align with the existing traditional security structure in the northern part of the country. “If this is not devolving of powers using existing laws, then we wonder what this concept of community policing in which police functions are citizen-centred and driven by the local community is? “So while the PDP could not take a singular step tilting towards restructuring in 16 years, but suddenly decided to make it a campaign mantra to sneak back into power, the President has twice within two weeks creatively used extant laws to put the country on the path of restructuring without shouting to the rooftops. “What Buhari has done is a tidy reminder of that profound Professor Wole Soyinka quote: A Tiger does not proclaim his Tigritude, he pounces! This

is a subtle reminder that Nigeria is indeed on the path to the Next Level that the President promised. And the second term has not even began” The pro-Buhari group said the onus would now be on the NFIU to ensure full compliance with the letters of the law on the joint account as well as its directives to banks on illegal withdrawal from local government accounts from June 1, 2019. “There would certainly be a need to pay close attention to a number of the state governors especially those who have their cronies installed as caretaker heads of local government councils. “This is because they may still look for ways to circumvent the new guidelines so we expect that any erring council head or politician would be made to face the full wrath of the law once the policy goes into effect in the next few weeks. “As we look forward to the enforcement, we assured Nigerians that more powers would be devolved to the people on President Buhari’s watch and also hope that the 9th National Assembly under the leadership of a more conscionable leadership would live up to expectations when required to do what is needed,” it added.

Iran-US tensions escalate as Trump imposes new sanctions

The United States announced harsh new sanctions on Iran as tensions surge between the decadeslong rivals. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Wednesday to sanction Iran’s steel, aluminium, copper and iron sectors, which provide crucial foreign currency earnings for its crippled economy. Trump also threatened further action unless Tehran “fundamentally” changed its behaviour. The move came after Tehran earlier said it was quitting parts of the 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers, which Washington abandoned in 2018 and ignited the current crisis. The metals sector is the Islamic Republic’s largest non-petroleumrelated source of export revenue and represents 10 percent of its export economy, a statement from the White House said. “Because of our action, the Iranian regime is struggling to fund its campaign of violent terror as its economy heads into an unprecedented depression, government revenue dries up, and inflation spirals out of control,” Trump said in a statement. “We are successfully imposing the most powerful maximum pressure campaign ever witnessed, which today’s action will further strengthen.”

MRS. AKWEN MARIAM

After a meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in London, UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the nuclear deal was “a very important achievement of Western diplomacy”, though Russia and China were also part of the negotiations and agreement. “Iran does not have nuclear weapons and its neighbours have not responded by getting nuclear weapons,” Hunt said. “It would be a massive step back for the region if it became nuclearised. “If Iran keeps to its commitments, we will keep to ours,” said the UK foreign secretary. He said there was “a 60-day window” to resolve the current impasse. Hunt pointed to Iran’s faltering economy, which has been hit hard by US sanctions levelled since Trump’s withdrawal from the deal, and said there would be “real consequences” if Iran were also to pull out. “It is in no one’s interest, certainly not their interest,” Hunt said. “Because the moment they go nuclear, their neighbours will as well.” Pompeo’s talks with UK officials which he described as a “forthright conversation” - came exactly a year after Trump withdrew the US from the landmark multilateral Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was designed to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions in

exchange for sanctions relief. He was seeking support from key international partners after Iran announced earlier in the day it would suspend some of its commitments made under the deal, but “the UK is making it clear that it is not changing its position,” said Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull, reporting from Westminster. “It is unsurprising that as the US seeks to ramp up pressure on Iran it would at the same time seek support from its allies. But the UK still supports the deal, and European nations continue to work on financial vehicles and methods to subvert US sanctions - obviously, the United States would like that to stop. They would like Europe to see these latest actions by Iran as evidence of noncompliance [with the deal].” The US seems prepared for Iran to make the next diplomatic move. “We have to see what Iran actually do,” said Pompeo. “The US will wait to observe that. We’ve made a decision different to the UK has regarding the JCPOA, but I am confident as we watch Iran’s activity that we and our partners will continue to work together.” Hunt did offer cautious but qualified support from the UK for the US position. “Jeremy Hunt was clear that the UK will act if Iran carries out threats to resume enrichment in 60 days, and warned Iran to think ‘long and

hard’,” added Al Jazeera’s Hull. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he hopes the nuclear deal can be saved after Iran’s announcement. UN spokesman Farhan Haq recalled that Guterres has consistently praised JCPOA as a “major achievement in nuclear nonproliferation and diplomacy and has contributed to regional and international peace and security”. “He strongly hopes that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action can be preserved,” he added. Across Europe, there was concern over the latest developments threatening the nuclear deal. France’s defence minister, Florence Parly, told BFMTV “nothing would be worse than Iran leaving this deal”, but voiced serious apprehension over Tehran’s threat to resume a higher enrichment of uranium - saying the question of new sanctions “will be raised” if the deal was not respected. Germany, which also wants to hold onto the 2015 deal despite the US withdrawal and sanctions, also called for further escalation to be avoided. “We have learned of Iran’s announcement with great concern and we will look at this very closely now,” said Foreign Minister Heiko Maas. Russia, meanwhile, blamed the US for Tehran’s announcement.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif in Moscow and said the US sanctions - stopping Western businesses operating in Iran and the export of Iranian oil - had undermined the spirit of the deal. “The US is to blame for the situation and it makes it difficult for both Iran to fulfil its obligations and ... for the general state of the nuclear non-proliferation regime,” said Lavrov. He added the Kremlin and Tehran agreed to continue working with all remaining signatories to the deal to honour its obligations, even if the US will not return to the negotiation table. Zarif insisted Iran’s decision to partially withdraw from certain provisions did not violate the agreement, and said it had been provoked by the US. He also said Iran would uphold its obligations if European signatories to the deal upheld theirs.

NFF raises the alarm of blackmail, distraction over national teams xThe Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has once again cried out that it is being blackmailed about an alleged legal charges filed against its leadership by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The charges are allegedly targeted at Amaju Melvin Pinnick, the NFF President; Seyi Akinwunmi, the 1st Vice President; Shehu Dikko, the 2nd Vice president; Ahmed Yusuff aka ‘Fresh’ and Mohammed Sanusi, the General Secretary of the NFF. The NFF is currently preparing Nigerian teams to different international competitions across the world for the next two months while its attentions are being distracted. The Flying Eagles, currently abroad, are to take part FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland later this month. The Super Falcons are to begin their quest for title in Women’s World Cup in France early June while Nigeria’s lead football brand, Super Eagles return to challenge for continental title for the first time in five years. At the same time, the U23 teams are being prepared to face Sudan next month in the quest to qualify for the 2020 Olympics Games. According to a statement issued by the football federation, “NFF denies that FG has filed any such charges. “NFF states that the orchestrated media blitz about the existence of such charges is nothing but the desperate and malicious efforts of the Chief Okoi Obono-Obla led Special Presidential Investigative Panel (SPIP) to lend itself as an instrument of cheap blackmail in the fight for the political leadership of NFF. The NFF stated that currently pending before the Federal High Court, Abuja is Suit No. FHC/ABJ/ CS/17/2019 filed by NFF against SPIP and three others, including Chief Obono-Obla himself. NFF, in the suit, is challenging the competence of SPIP under the law to purport to investigate or prosecute “We wish to state that none of the persons in the leadership of NFF or Executive Committee are signatories or in control of NFF accounts as those roles are exclusively reserved and performed by directors and personnel appointed by FGN from the offices of the Accountant-General of the Federation and AuditorGeneral of the Federation. “Also, NFF under Amaju Pinnick, has since 2014, kept true financial records of NFF Funds as audited by its external auditors PwC (PrieceWaterHouseCoopers) and has taken the extra step of publishing the audited accounts in national newspapers for public consumption and records. “Furthermore, FIFA has consistently given a clean bill of health to NFF regarding its management of FIFA funds. FIFA has never alleged any fraud or misappropriation of its resources or funds made available to NFF and has continued to engage the NFF in its normal operational transactions. “It is important, and interesting, to note that the proposed list of witnesses of SPIP consists entirely of the names of the same persons who have publicly been engaged in fighting the duly elected leadership of NFF, including the forceful takeover

NFF or its leadership. According to the statement signed by Dr. Suleman Yahaya Kwade, the Chairman, NFF Media and Publicity Committee, “when the matter came up for hearing on April 20, 2019, Barrister Celsus Ukpong, the lawyer representing SPIP wrote a letter applying for an adjournment of the matter, as he could not appear in court for official reasons. The suit was accordingly adjourned to May 13, 2019 for definite hearing. “It is an issue that must befuddle the mind and be of great concern to all Nigerians that the same SPIP should, against the foregoing background then proceed to allegedly file charges in the name of the FGN before the same Federal High Court while the pending suit filed by NFF against it is yet to be determined. “It should now be clear to all that the SPIP under Chief Obono-Obla is acting in contempt of the laws and Courts of Nigeria. “Even more deplorable is the fact that its legal representatives will employ deception in dealing with the Court of Law regarding a suit to which it is a party and fully represented in court. “The determination of SPIP and Chief Okono-Obla to act unlawfully and in undisguised bias against NFF and its leadership is well documented and forms the basis of NFF’s petition to the Hon. Attorney-General and Minister of Justice since January 2019, as well joining the office of the Hon. Attorney-General in all the suits we have filed against SPIP. “We are confident that this regrettable matter will be appropriately dealt with in the due course. “We wish to state categorically that the charges filed by SPIP are frivolous and totally baseless. “They are aimed only at scandalising the NFF and its leadership and nothing more, in order to mislead the unwary and uninformed. of the NFF office in July 2018, the filing of multiple suits to stop the NFF elections of September 20, 2018 in Katsina and the presentation of the same false petitions to all the law enforcement agencies in Nigeria. “This should say a lot about these false allegations and the manner of persons actively working in cahoots with Chief Obon-Obla led SPIP to discredit the NFF and its leadership evidently to achieve what they failed to do through the ballot box – which is to effect a change of leadership in in the NFF. “However, it is much to be regretted that these elements have also sought to embarrass our sponsors, partners and consultants in their unholy and desperate gambit to achieve their condemnable efforts to bring NFF and its leadership into public disrepute having failed in all their machinations to take over its leadership. “We wish to assure that our legal team is fully engaged with this matter in order to defeat these baseless and politically motivated attack on the NFF and its leadership. “We are confident that at the end of the day the truth will prevail, this mission of destruction will fail and Nigeria football will triumph over this conspiracy”.

“This is evident from the great facility with which the news of the charges which were registered at the court’s registry today, May 7, 2019, have been widely disseminated by SPIP and its collaborators. “For instance, SPIP alleges that the leadership of NFF moved N4Billion (Four Billion Naira) from NFF on 3 November 2018. “The maliciousness and falsity of this charge is established by the fact that the alleged sum is about four times the 2018 NFF Appropriation in the FGN budget as approved by the National Assembly, which in total was N1.14 Billion (One Billion, One Hundred and Fourteen Million Naira), out of which only about N700m (Seven Hundred Million Naira) was cash-backed for the entire 2018 financial year. “It is also on record that since June 2018 till date NFF has only received N110m (One Hundred and Ten Million Naira only) from FGN (which was received only in February, 2019). “This is in spite of the fact that NFF has prosecuted about 30 international matches involving the various national teams, (Super Eagles, Falcons, U23 Men Team, U20 Boys, U17 Eaglets, U20 Girls (Falconets), Supersand Eagles etc), requiring the NFF to raise funds independently to supplement the funds from the FGN. “Another example of the desperation and wickedness motivating these false allegations is the SPIP allegation that, in 2014 “during the FIFA World Cup at Abuja”, FIFA appearance fees paid by FIFA was converted to personal use. “This is despite the fact that there was no FIFA World Cup in Abuja in 2014, a naked fact known to the whole world. “The consuming determination to achieve the goal of slandering the NFF and smearing the reputation of its leadership has made these elements blind to simple facts and reckless.

UEFA considering Champions League with promotion/relegation UEFA has drafted a controversial plan to introduce promotion and relegation to the Champions League at a meeting at its Swiss headquarters in Nyon, sources told AFP on Wednesday. There would be four groups of eight teams from 2024 if the proposal is put into action it would significantly increase the number of European matches and favour bigger clubs. But UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin played down the plan, saying: “What is important to remember, is that, despite a lot of talk in the media, no decisions have been made. At the moment we have only ideas and opinions.” The revamped tournament would not see games played at weekends, which would have sparked uproar among the domestic leagues. The top five teams in each group would be automatically qualified for the next edition, effectively making the Champions League far harder for clubs from smaller countries to play in. There would be 14 matchdays in the group stage instead of six, with teams continuing to play opponents home and away. That would necessitate drastic changes to domestic schedules, with the league and cup matches currently also being played in midweek. Change to European club tournaments has become a controversial issue after Andrea Agnelli, the president of the European Club Association, outlined proposals for a “pan-European league system” that would greatly reduce the number of

teams qualifying from domestic competitions. The UEFA drafts suggest a move in that direction, although the number of clubs in the Champions League would remain at 32. In recent seasons, the group stage has featured eight pools of four teams. The ECA demanded on Tuesday that UEFA “properly include” it in any plans to change Europe’s elite competition. “When the Champions League was last changed in 2016, UEFA was criticised for not holding discussions with its stakeholders,” added Ceferin. “When I became president shortly afterwards, I insisted that any future changes should be subject to consultation and today’s meeting is further evidence of that.” European football’s governing body has already been criticised for changing the qualifying criteria for the Champions League, with the top four sides from each of the continent’s big four leagues — England, Spain, Italy and Germany — automatically qualifying for this season’s group stage. Ajax plays Tottenham later on Wednesday for a place in the Champions League final against Liverpool on June 1 in Madrid, after Jurgen Klopp’s side’s remarkable comeback against Barcelona. Ajax were one of the teams hit hardest by the most recent Champions League changes. They had to come through three qualifying rounds just to make the group stage earlier this campaign.
