...reserves hit $47.8bn in June Continued from page 1 industry that the market has finally turned a corner following a threeyear slump. The Governor of CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, had predicted that the nation’s foreign reserves would soon hit $50billion mark. The naira buffer has come under heavy pressure, forcing the CBN to woo local businesses importing goods from China to use the yuan instead of the Dollar in its effort to support the naira and boost reserves. The apex bank explained that the currency swap is aimed at providing adequate local currency liquidity to Nigerian and Chinese industrialists and other businesses,
thereby reducing the difficulties encountered in the search for third currencies. Commenting on this development, Associate Professor and Head, Banking & Finance department, Nasarawa State University, Mr. Uche Uwaleke, said the currency swap, “will improve Nigeria economy. He said, “When we talk about our reserves today, it is composed of Dollar. It means that we are over dependent on one currency and when something happened, then our reserves are in danger. “The currency swap will diversify foreign exchange management by CBN. It is going to boost foreign reserves, appreciate the Naira because the pressure on
Dollar will reduce.” He said the currency swap in short-midterm will impact positively on the nation’s economy. “The swap is going to last for two years but renewable.” He explained further that with the agreement, China investors might be complied by Federal Government to come establish manufacturing companies in Nigeria. He said: “If that happened, it is going to create jobs and increase production. I see more of Chinese companies producing in Nigeria and that again is expected to grow our GDP. By the time we fix power, road and security that will encourage Chinese investors to invest in Nigeria economy. For the two countries, it is a win-win situation.”
We won’t give our land for ranching, says South East Govs Moses Oyediran, Enugu The South East Governors Forum has declared that the zone is not prepared to give any portion of its land for ranching. Rising from a oneday meeting held at Government House, Enugu on Sunday, the chairman of the forum and Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi, made it clear that the zone is highly disadvantage in land. He also dispelled the rumour that some portions of land had been donated for ranching, insisting that no state in the South East is ready to donate any land for ranching. He said, “Ranching is not approved by South East Governors, we have not been asked to donate, no land in the south east has been donated for
ranching.” While commiserating with the people and governor of Plateau State for the recent killings, the forum condemned the killings and joined other regions to demand for justice for plateau people. The governors further said they noticed increased challenges in the movement of herdsmen from one state and region to another with resultant effect of massive destruction of farmlands with attendant clashes with farmers. Governor Umahi said, “ South East Governors have been spending huge funds in paying compensations to farmers whose farms and crops were destroyed. “We therefore, request for emergency meeting in South East with Federal Security Chiefs, farmers and herdsmen leadership in Nigeria to stop the
movement and prevent the clashes “. Umahi further hinted that the forum was presented with restructuring as the stand of Ndigbo by the President General of Ohanaeze, Chief Nnia Nwodo based on the resolutions arising from the Awka enlarged Igbo meeting, adding that he also laid down the template to South East Governors Forum “ The forum also decided that the governors should take a studied look at the restructuring and will make its final stand clear by the next meeting of the forum”, he added. Present at the meeting were Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Ebonyi State, Governor, Dave Umahi while, Anambra and Abia States were represented by their deputies.

2019 polls: PDP, 44 other political parties in alliance To hold crucial meeting in Abuja today
Patrick Okohue, Lagos and Tunde Opalana, Abuja As the battle for the most prestigious seat in the country, the President, 36 governors and legislative seats across the country in 2019 becomes more intense, the leading opposition political party in the country, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is set to liaise with 44 other political parties towards displacing the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the party in power in the next election. As a sign of the seriousness of this planned alliance, the PDP along with the 44 other political parties will today hold a crucial meeting at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja to fine-tune modalities for the alliance and the best approach to achieving their set
objectives. The meeting, according to a source within the leadership of the PDP, is to be attended by frontline leaders of the 44 political parties and associations and is aimed at setting ground rules for the talks which is expected to last for the next few weeks, to work out details of the alliance. The source, who spoke in confidence, told The Daily Times that, “The aim of the alliance is to forge a common ground and a formidable force to take power from the ruling APC and form the next government. “I also wish to inform you that the alliance will be broad based to attract the best brains across the country to deliver it from its present bad leadership”. Describing the present APC-led government as a failure, the source

wondered why a government will be in place and herdsmen run riot, killing people from across various regions of the country, with the government claiming that the country is under a foreign invasion, yet unwilling to curtail the herdsmen and protect the people. While acknowledging that the Boko Haram group was also inflicting serious damage on the country during the PDP rule, the PDP top leader noted however, that while his party was in power, the Boko Haram insurgency was curtailed to a region, adding that the insurgents’ capacity to do much harm was greatly reduced before the party lost power. He said the aim of the parties in the alliance talk is to save Nigeria from collapse and rescue it from the dangerous negative drift that it is currently facing and position it again to the part of

For their continued loyalty, the management of Dangote Cement Plc, has announced cash and kind rewards as well as a priority distributorship license as soon as Dangote’s refinery project come on steam next year. President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, who made the pledge, at the weekend profusely thanked the loyal cement distributors for their faith in the company and also assured them of consistent reward, as a form of motivation for their patronage and loyalty to the brand. Dangote said: “This event today is significant in two reasons; first, it is in furtherance of our culture and practice to reward excellent performance by our customers. Secondly, it is also meant to build stronger and abiding value relationships. It is a night to say thank you for all your efforts in making Dangote Cement a household name in Nigeria and the number one preferred cement.” He promised that: “As soon as our new projects come on stream, the
opportunity for priority distributorship will be available to you as reward for your loyalty. Thank you for your dedication and for being our support system” The Distributors’ award ceremony was in recognition of the Cement Distributors’ long standing commitment, devotion, loyalty and valuable contribution to the distribution and sale of Dangote Cement in 2017. Welcoming the distributors and other customers of the company to the award ceremony, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Dangote Cement, Engineer Joe Makoju said the company will forever be thankful to the distributors and all its customers for their loyalty and for making the public see the uniqueness of the Dangote cement brand. Makoju said the distributors must have seen that they have not made a mistake for deciding to do business with the company. He promised that the cement Company would continue to show appreciation to them and urged them to strive to sell more Dangote cement this year, with a promise that they would also be rewarded more saying; one good turn deserves another.
He said: “Our success story would not have been possible without you, our distributors, who work tirelessly to ensure that the product gets to our customers in every nooks and crannies of the country. We can never thank you enough! You have been an integral and vital part of our business over the years.” He further said: “We are here to explore ways of further cementing our existing cordial relationship in order to create more value for all stakeholders. In fact, our ultimate desire is to create a win-win situation for our stakeholders at all levels down the value chain. This is in line with the triple bottom line principle: people, planet and profits, which we have embraced here at the Dangote Group.” The overall best customer for the reviewed period, Mr Ifenchor Lawrence of Lafenax company lauded the management of Dangote Cement for giving back significantly to their loyal customer. He said the gesture of Dangote Management is unprecedented in the industry and that, God willing, he will do all within him to sell more of the brand’s cement in order to maintain his first position.
prosperity with adequate security. Many top politicians from across the various political divide and regions are already jostling for the nations’ number one seat with many of them promising to lead the country towards a new way of doing things. Among the frontline aspirants for the presidential race are former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, former Kaduna State Governor Ahmed Makrfi, former Kano State governor and a serving Senator, Rabiu Kwakwanso, Senator Datti Baba Ahmed, former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido. Others are Chairman of the PDP former Ministers’ Forum of Nigeria and a former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, Fela Durotoye, Prof. Funmilayo AdesanyaDavies, Omoyele Sowore, Ahmed Buhari, Dr. Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, Dr. ShinaTagbenro Byron of Kowa Party, Elishama Ideh among others. With the recent crack that appeared within the fold of the APC, with the angst expressed by members of the nPDP, who have threatened to break away from the APC because according to them they are marginalised within the APC and the birth of the Reformed APC, led by Buba Galadima and the seeming hard stance of the chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, that the capacity of the nPDP and rAPC to harm the party was negligible, it is believed that a well coordinated opposition against the APC is imminent in 2019. At a recent gathering in Lagos, one of the new political movements, comprising Nigerian professionals also determined to reclaim the nation from its present political leadership, the Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM), adopted the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) as the political platform that it intends to use to pursue its political agenda come 2019. The group at a media parley jointly addressed by Dr. Olisa Agbakoba,
SAN, Dr. Abduljalil Tafawa Balewa, Co-Chairmen of Nigeria Intervention Movement, (NIM) and Dr. Jay Osi Samuels, Chairman of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), noted that majority of Nigerians were overwhelmed by the reckless pursuit of self serving, exploitative political class which has continued to ensure that little or no governance, properly so called, is going on in Nigeria. The meeting was attended by some of the new breed politicians aspiring to lead the nation in 2019, including Dr. ThomasWilson Ikubese, Dr. ShinaTagbenro Byron, Fela Durotoye, Ms Elishama Ideh, who all agreed to work together towards achieving a better nation if the need arise. The Daily Times recalls that the APC also rose to power through a merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), a faction of the PDP called nPDP and a faction of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA). The belief within the PDP is that if the APC could come together within a year of the next election, despite their political differences and take power from them in 2015, they can also do the same and take power from the APC in 2019, especially with the obvious crack and disaffection within its fold. Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, will today in Abuja, meet with all PDP presidential aspirants, all PDP Governors and former Governors, PDP members of the National Assembly and former members, all members of the BoT, members of PDP former ministers forum, and all state chairmen in a crucial meeting. Though the agenda of the meeting was not specified in a statement by the party’s National Secretary, Sen. Umaru Ibrahim Tsauri, the development might not be unconnected with the PDP preparedness for the 2019 general polls and both the July 14 and September 22 governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun respectively. Venue of the meeting is the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
Climate change responsible for herdsmen, farmers clashes - Presidency Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Presidency has attributed the incessant killings by the suspected Fulani herdsmen and farmers in the country to climate change. According to the Presidency, “specifically the drying up of the Chad Basin, has led to more pressure on the population in the North of Nigeria, which further compounded the problem.” It added that the Climate change is an issue of global significance, saying that the Federal Government is determined to continue working closely with its neighbours in order to ensure that a long-term solution can be implemented, the Presidency stated. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, stated this in a statement made available on Sunday, Shehu further reiterated what President Buhari indicated lately, saying that, “there is evidence of
involvement of some politicians using criminals to perpetuate the killings.” According to him, the federal government makes no distinction amongst the population and works tirelessly to protect all Nigerian people. He said, “The clashes between herders and farmers are historical. The causes of these confrontations are varied and complex. We are strongest as a nation when we are united and it is through unity that we will overcome this challenge. The Presidency, however, appealed to all its citizens as well as members of the international community to refrain from spreading false stories and inflammatory statements concerning the recent herder-farmer clashes. It assured that the Federal Government was working closely with state governments and the Security Services as well as international partners “in order to resolve this ongoing issue.”

Saraki commissions 12.2km Obiri-Ikwerre Airport Road in P/H Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has commissioned the ObiriIkwerre Airport Road in Port Harcourt, with the declaration that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, had made Nigerians proud through the project. Commissioning the Obiri-Ikwerre Airport Road reconstructed by Governor Wike on Saturday night, the Senate President noted that the road was important because it would enhance investment opportunities in the state. He said: “This is a road that is significant in the sense that it is from here that investors will come into the state. “If you stand here and look across, you will be proud to be a Nigerian. Looking up there, I can see Nigeria is working and it can work better,” he said. He said from the projects commissioned in Rivers State within the period, it was obvious that
Governor Wike was focused with the Rivers people fully in support of him. He urged Nigerians not to lose focus and hope, saying that the country would eventually work. “We are determined that there will be peace in this country. Those that don’t do the right thing will be sanctioned for not doing the right thing. “We are determined that from every part of the country, this country belongs to us,” he said. Dr. Saraki regretted that three years were wasted trying to fight him. He noted that the three wasted years would have been used for the development of Nigeria. Saraki charged Nigerians to continue to fight for the development of the country. He declared that Rivers State was safe for major investments as exemplified by the presence of Indorama. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, stated that with the Senate President, Nigerians irrespective of their political affiliation would continue to fight the forces of darkness.
He called for the upholding of the rule of law across all tiers of government, saying that was the only way to attain progress in the country. He said: “Any Government that does respect the rule of law is the most corrupt government. This is because you cannot fight corruption without the rule of law.” While berating the Federal Authorities for using EFCC to illegally probe the finances of Rivers State despite a subsisting court judgement yet to be vacated by a higher court, Governor Wike condemned the Executive Order on corruption which he said was unconstitutional. Governor Wike told the Senate President that his political party, the APC, had not kept her promises to Nigerians. He thanked the Senate President for commissioning the 12.2 kilometre dual carriageway, stating that despite distractions, his administration continued to deliver meaningful projects. He said before the reconstruction of the Obiri-Ikwerre Airport Road by his administration, the road had been impassable due to abandonment.

Use Ekiti poll to show readiness for 2019, CNPP challenges INEC The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), has challenged Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and security agencies to use Saturdaygovernorship election in Ekiti to prove their readiness for 2019 polls. National Chairman of the body, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, made the call in a statement on Sunday in Abuja. Musa urged INEC and all security personnel deployed to Ekiti ahead of the election to ensure that the result reflected a free and fair contest. CNPP is an umbrella body of all registered political parties and associations in Nigeria. Musa also called on Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), the media and all election observers in the state to be extra vigilant and expose all forms of
irregularity in the election. He said that exposing irregularity in the elections was important to save Nigeria’s democracy as the outcome would determine the confidence of voters in the conduct of 2019 general elections. “We must remind ourselves that the survival of democracy is vital at this time and for this to happen, all stakeholders must subject themselves to the ultimate will of the electorate. “Therefore, INEC, the media and all security agencies as well as election observers for the forthcoming Ekiti governorship election must be vigilant. “We urge the electoral umpire to ensure that the outcome of the election reflects the virtues of fairness, good conscience, rule of law and credibility. “This will not only boost the
confidence of the electorate in the Nigerian electoral process but also elevate the rating of the current leadership of INEC as the country prepares for the 2019 general election. “At no time in the history of the country, have young people shown eagerness to fully participate in the electoral process than now. “It is the duty of INEC and the security agencies to reassure the voters that their votes are counted and also count in determining who leads them.” The chairman also urged politicians, especially the candidates in the Ekiti election, to play according to the rules. He advised them to allow the electorate to choose who would govern them without intimidation and in an atmosphere of peace, devoid of any form of thuggery.

The crops allegedly destroyed, he said, were cashew, cassava, maize and rice among others. Arosanyin said he personally lost about 32 hectares he cleared for farming, saying efforts to get the management to address the problem in the last one year had proven abortive. According to him, most of the farms destroyed by the Lower Niger River Basin Authority were sponsored through loans from Fadama III addition finance.
APPA urges support for CPC to protect e-consumers The Association for Public Policy Analysis (APPA), has urged the Federal Government and various stakeholders to support the Consumer Protection Council (CPC), to protect the rights of Nigerian e-consumers. The association made the call in a communiqué by the President of APPA, Mr Princewill Okorie, on Sunday in Abuja. The communiqué was the outcome of the E-Commerce Consumer Protection Forum organised by the association in
Abuja. E-Commerce is a business transaction conducted electronically on the internet and has many advantages compared to conventional methods. E-Consumers are consumers that transact businesses electronically. According to Okorie, the derivative principles of state policy in the constitution and the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights give reasons for protecting e-consumers right.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai gave the figure of returnees in an address during the closing ceremony of the 2018 Nigerian Army Day Celebration – NADCEL.

Buhari, Executive Order 6 and corruption
Garba Shehu
Nigeria’s widespread corruption, which has been eating the ecosystem like termites, met an audacious response from President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday afternoon with the signing of a new Executive Order No. 6 on preservation of assets connected with corruption. President Buhari holds the view that after three years in office it was another good time to further review the achievements of the administration and set goals in a key policy area, the anticorruption war. On the basis of the re-appraisals made, the President said that it had become “necessary to re-kit and re-tool our arsenal to be able to affectively tackle corruption’s perilous counter-attack against the Nigerian State.” As a result, the Federal Government of Nigeria had “declared a national emergency to deal with that crisis.” President Buhari came into power in 2015 vowing to fight corruption which had been undermining the country’s economy, politics, governance and entire society. The government is of the understanding that corruption is one of Nigeria’s major challenges; one that had obstructed the country’s drive to realise its full potentials. Most citizens believe that corruption is holding the country by the jugular and must be tackled if we are to make progress and make meaning of our lives. Since the war against corruption unleashed by President Buhari took hold, significant strides had been achieved. Vehicles of fraud and embezzlement have been stopped dead in their tracks; enabled with the implementation of the Bank Verification Number policy and signing the Open Government Partnership and rebuilding the anti-corruption institutions, and generally the country’s highly improved corporate governance. Fifty thousand ghost workers were deleted from monthly payroll, saving an annual N200 billion in payments; ghost
pensioners have in their thousands been fished out and with vigour and precision, millions of bank accounts with suspicious cash deposits are being investigated. A large number of senior public officials are being investigated and a huge sum of money including buildings, estates, ships and automobiles have been seized. Former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha’s money, USD326 million was recovered and will be distributed to the poor. The Buhari administration has so far investigated and jailed ex-governors, ministers, generals and a large number of public officials. All of these efforts are building up to an ecosystem that is propoor, people oriented, clean, transparent and one that doesn’t tolerate corruption. Based on all these, Nigeria’s anti-corruption war under President Buhari, striking and visible as it is, has aroused interests both locally and internationally. The President is currently serving as the Champion of Anticorruption for the entire continent, selected by his peers in the African Union. It is an established fact that, all over the world, deep-rooted corruption is always difficult to deal with. It is mostly hidden. It is hard to detect, and as we have seen in dealing with the world’s economic powers, they love, cherish and nurture it in countries like ours by holding onto stolen assets against all efforts to retrieve them. But there are signs that things are changing. Every day, harsh words against the government are all that the President gets from Wadata House, the Head Office of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because their leaders, as do some other Nigerians are already feeling the heat. To say the truth, I am not sure if there are many of our citizens who expected any PDP support for the President in his war against corruption. In spite of all the achievements recorded, you still hear complaints that the anti-corruption isn’t as dramatic as Nigerians wished it to be. Some want the
country to do it the Chinese way. Others say the government is not arresting the powerful people. For the Buhari administration, concern lies in the fact that corruption has become a big problem because investigation, prosecution and trial in courts are made harder by persons accused of crimes relating to it. They are using the enormous resources in their possession to thwart the system. The President’s view is that, it is only a clean Nigeria that can attract foreign investment, free money for more of the capital projects the administration is executing and creating jobs for our teeming population of young men and women. The President says in the interest of justice and the welfare of the Nigerian state, persons accused of crimes relating to corruption must be prevented from utilizing the proceeds and dissipating such assets suspected to be proceeds of corruption (or associated with corruption) pending final determination of any investigation or legal actions related to such assets or owners thereof. In signing the new Executive Order, he said: “I’m bound to restrict dealings in suspicious assets…to preserve same in accordance with the rule of law and with guarantee and safeguard of fundamental human rights.” A person who feels that his rights are infringed is free to go to a high court. To understand the threat posed to our democracy and economy by unchecked access to stolen or illicit funds, the President cited the large volume of cash government is fight to retrieve through the legal system. The aggregate value of those funds involved in some of the on-going prosecution of high profile corruption cases is N595,409,838,452.25k. This amount is more than what has been budgeted this year for the all-important Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (N344 billion) and social Investment
(N500b), intended for millions of Nigerians through programs such as the N-Power Graduate Employment Scheme, the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT to the poorest of the power and GEEP (Government Economic Empowerment Programme). The 2018 budget which has made the highest appropriation ever in the sum of N344 billion to the Ministry of Works is to be spent on the following roads: –Lagos-Shagamu-Ibadan Dual Carriageway – Ilorin-Jebba-Mokwa-Bokani Road – Kano-Maiduguri Road –Enugu-Port-Harcourt Dual Carriageway – Odukpani-Itu-Ikot-Ekpene Road –Sokoto-Tambuwal-Jega-KontagoraMokwa Road – Dualization of Ojabana to Benin Road – Calabar-Ugep-Katsina-Ala Road – Onitsha-Enugu Dual Carriageway –Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway –Benin-Ofosu-Ore-AjebandeleSagamu expressway phase III – Kontagora-Bangi Road The amount of money voted this year for these roads therefore translates to about 57% of the monies recovered by the on-going high-profile corruption cases. The defendants in these cases have unrestricted access to these funds using it as a war chest. They have used it to stall administrative and judicial processes. No gainsaying that it is impossible to achieve any meaningful progress in the fight against corruption where there is no effective law enforcement and prosecution of offenders via an effective justice system. In simple terms, the idea of the new Executive Order is to ensure that criminal elements are prevented from using their illicit resources to “allure, pervert and/or intimidate the investigative and judicial process.”
cannot and will not be defeated amid Tribal and religious ideosyncracies. The rule of law cannot operate under the above circumstances. Until we remove the above barriers, the colonial Masters will always prey on us. Our divisions is their strength and our stupidity destroys the society as a whole. Whoever understands my point and gets Nigeria into a progressive State would be a hero in the eyes of ordinary people. We are suffering ourselves in the midst of abundant resources and knowledge. A governor who receives federal allocations, but refuses to pay salaries is a thief and corrupt official. From independence to date, Nigeria failed to provide basic amenities across the entire society without bias such as roads, bridges, water, light hospitals, medical care and retirement benefits, yet we steal millions out of the country to the colonial masters domain. If we need Bread, groundnut or sugar, we run to oyibo. Should we produce any of those items within the country, tribal wahala will
ensue. One man will have import license in a population of 180 million and we call it democracy. This practice goes on in the society unabated by the federal government, nor the institutions of law and order, yet we are fighting corruption. Nigeria spends 250 billion every year to sponsor pilgrimage to Mecca and Israel, instead of developing the nation. I humbly ask whether development is achieved by prayers or by planning and execution. European countries, Canada, and United States of America were not developed by prayers. Wake up Nigeria from your Primitive Age and join the world in Representative Democracy where all are included even those that have been denied before now have a say in all matters. Your education is nothing to the Whites in the sense that you failed to apply proper administrative mechanism, yet you call yourselves Giant of Africa, but they call you Monkey men. TUTUTU TUFIAKWA.

The Cancer Of Corruption And Colonial Mindset In Nigeria. Debase Ethnicity And Religion To Put Nigeria in the Path of Righteousness. By Atomic Writer. Historically, Africans are their own worst enemy by their inability to unite as an entity. Nigeria for example gained independence after amalgamation , but failed to brake herself out of colonial hegemony, ethnicity and religion. The country is busy killing themselves and encouraging the disease that was intentionally planted in them by their colonial masters as to divide and conquer, divide and rule, divide and manipulate, divide and control, divide and deceive etc. Whereas in Britain, the society is made up of the Irish, wales, Manchester, Liverpool and other parts as ethnic groups, yet the are one united Britain. They have grown beyond and above religious and ethnic differences and laws are made to respect the Unalienable Rights of all without objection
to race, gender, creed, religion etc. Same method and pattern extends to other parts of Europe, Russia, Canada and United States of America. The U. S. A. becomes a melting pot where all Anglos came together to make up the society. It is only being Black in Anglo Society that creates problems. The ONUS here is Clear and Convincing that Whites in A.merica came from different parts of the world, but collectively became ONE and extends such Oneness to other Anglos all over the world. Any problem is resolved through organized forum such as N. A. T. O. European Union, U. N. G-7 etc. Nigeria has been fighting corruption before I was born and corruption keep on multiplying astronomically because we still have the syndrome of colonial mentality, to hate ourselves with ethnicity and religion. To the A. P. C., P. D. P. Governors and elected officials, “ Whoever that would Debase Ethnicity and Religion will put Nigeria into the Path of Righteousness. Corruption

Editorial Commentary Remembering the ‘real’ MKO Abiola (I) Times Guest Colunmist Yemi Ogunbiyi The immediate impulse to the writing of this piece came from a recent conversation with my 21-year old daughter, Oreoluwa. Following the honour bestowed on MKO Abiola by President Buhari and the re-focused attention on Abiola’s legacy, Oreoluwa, who, by the way, read Politics and Philosophy at Cambridge and was only one year old when MKO was killed, called me to find out more about him. Here is how she put it: ‘Dad, I know all about June 12 and how Chief Abiola was denied the presidency and later died in prison; but what kind of man was he? Oreoluwa’s question set me thinking and it suddenly dawned on me that many younger Nigerians, certainly the twenty-‘somethings’ and even thirty-year olds may just have only a vague memory of MKO Abiola or none at all, let alone knowing who the ‘real’ MKO Abiola was! Because of Oreoluwa and others of her age, I have decided to reproduce in full, the first chapter of the Book, Legend of our Time: The Thoughts of MKO Abiola, which is a published collection of Abiola’s key Speeches and Lectures, edited by Dr. Chidi Amuta and myself. The book, which was published on the eve of his presidential campaigns, predates the June 12 saga. MKO was something of a phenomenon. Obviously, he will now for ever be remembered for his June 12 victory and as an embodiment of our democratic ideals. But he was more than June 12! Indeed, June 12 was the culmination of a tremendously remarkable life. In some ways, there was none like him and there probably would be none quite like him again. He was, among other things, a man of prodigious intellectual talent, a true legend of our time. Just months before his death, I visited him in prison. Although tired and suffering from a lower back pain, he was, even in his dismal conditions, his old self. He oscillated between anger, anxiety, frustration and even optimism, but not bitterness. Then, when a prominent, Egba Chief (now, late), came in to see him, apparently carrying with him some message from the Council of Islamic Affairs, in what seemed to be another of several previous visits, MKO flared up and his defiant self resurfaced! Then, after the Chief took leave of us, he turned to me and asked me how I thought he had done! I gave him the thumbs up!! Instantly, the young security guard who had listened in on our entire discussion told me it was time for me to leave. I never saw MKO again. So, in reproducing this lengthy piece, which was written in late 1992 and titled “Behind the Legend,” I have felt no need to change, embellish or delete any details. The man I wrote about then, remained the man I saw in prison, months before his death in 1998, determined, defiant, uncowed and unbowed. Because of this man, there is both cause for hope and certainty that the agony and protests of those who suffer injustice shall give way to peace and human dignity…. The enemies which imperil the future generations to come: poverty, ignorance, disease, hunger, and racism have each seen effects of the valiant work of Chief Abiola. Through him and others like him, never again will freedom
rest in the domain of the few – Ronald U. Dellums, Chairman, United States of America, Congressional Black Caucus, September 16, 1989. On Saturday, November 2, 1991, I had the privilege of flying with Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola in his private jet to Kafanchan to attend the turbaning of Alhaji Aliyu Muhammad as the Wazirin Jema’a. At the Abuja airport we changed aircrafts and took a helicopter which took us on the final lap of our journey into Kafanchan. After hovering above the scene of the ceremony for few minutes, our pilot finally located a clearing for landing. The moment the occupant of the helicopter was spotted, the stampede began. The drummers were beside themselves. The trumpeters outdid each other. Singing and dancing groups added to the confusion by raising more harmattan dust. All these were meant, of course, to acknowledge the arrival of Chief Abiola. Even uniformed officers who had been designated to keep some order watched helplessly, in an admixture of bewilderment, admiration and confusion. Considering that this was happening in Kafanchan, away from the presumed heartland of Abiola’s socio-cultural stronghold, I was quite surprised. The massive attention that greeted Chief Abiola’s arrival was remarkable. I stood back, almost detached from it all, to see if any other arrival would attract such attention. Surprisingly, none did. Viewed from any point of view, Bashorun Abiola has become something of a national institution. By any standard, he is a phenomenon. Something about him, perhaps, his unique expansiveness of spirit and stupendous generosity, embodied in his enormous wealth, have combined to embed him in our national consciousness in a peculiarly Nigerian way. From the point when he first entered the full glare of national limelight in 1975, with the award of the International Telephones and Telecommuncations (ITT) Contingency Switching contract, all kinds of legendary tales have developed and gained currency about him. There is, perhaps, no other private Nigerian citizen, who has the distinction of being recognised anywhere in the country by his initials alone. In many of Nigeria’s villages, it is certainly probable that the initials M.K.O. will elicit a spontaneous response from Nigerians who may never set eyes on Chief Abiola. Although a private citizen, Bashorun Abiola is sometimes accorded all the courtesies of a visiting head of state abroad, especially in Africa and from the black diaspora. Indeed, at the inauguration ceremony of President Bill Clinton, he received courtesies reserved for a head of government by virtue of the prominence of his seating position, inches away from the main event. More than anyone else, he has helped tremendously in the election of more African-American Congressmen and women in the United States of America, through direct financial assistance, deriving no gains in return, save the joy of seeing African peoples of the diaspora take greater control of their own destinies in their country of birth.

Rice revolution and self sufficiency
B
efore the creation of Ebonyi State on October 1, 1996 by the former military Head of State, the late Gen. Sani Abacha, rice was one of the nation’s stable foods and still remains the mainstay of the daily living and earning of the people. For years now, Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, has been known as home of local rice production not only in Nigeria, but in West Africa sub-region. Ebonyi State is one of the most agrarian of the states in Nigeria. Made up predominantly of farmers, with savanna and semi tropical vegetation, humid, sandy and marshy soil, the state is blessed with moisture land for growing of varieties of cash and food crops especially rice. Among the agricultural potential, the production of the famous Abakaliki rice has made the state so popular and a beehive of commercial hub. No visitor who comes to Abakaliki, the state capital, without testifying to the high quality of Abakaliki rice compared with other rice produced locally and internationally. The Abakaliki rice is blessed with so many nutritional values, which are gotten from the salinity in the land of Abakaliki rice mill. It is even better and graded higher by those that experienced its nutritional values. Apart from its nutritional value, the Abakaliki rice is naturally salted with good taste. The reputation of Abakaliki rice is derived from its superior taste. Rice production no doubt has created jobs from which a lot of people feed their families. There are a lot of jobs people do in Abakaliki rice Mill Industry including technical/ professional and unprofessional/causal works, as well as others who sell their wares in the area. The Abakliki Rice Mill, as it is popularly called, is adjudged to be the first indigenous company since the creation of the state. During the creation of the state, at least Abakaliki rice Mill Industry was equally the only existing industry in the state. The first milling engine procured for milling of Abakaliki rice was bought by one Mr. Anekwe Bestman. The relocation of the mill to its present site was done under one Hon. P. O. Nwike, who was then the Executive Chairman, Abakaliki Local Government Area in the then Anambra State. Signatories to the statement included the Chairman,Joseph Ununu; Administrative Secretary, Nwede Richard; Secretary, Usulo Emmanuel and Fidelis Igwe. However, on November 15, 1977, the land used for the construction of the rice mill was leased by the Abakaliki Local Council to Rice Mill Abakaliki, for 99 years upon payment of valuable consideration. In September 1989, the Rice Mill Asociation Abakaliki was registered as a company with the incorporation name – Rice Mill Company Nig. Ltd with registration number RC. 136,800. But on January 1, 2000, the customary right of occupancy with respect to the entire area of land measuring 1938.464 square metres occupied by
the company was issued by the Government of Ebonyi State government. The continued production of Abakaliki rice became endangered in the past administration of former Governor Martin Elechi, due to the face-off between the Abakaliki Rice Mill Company and Ebonyi State Government on the planned relocation of the rice mill to the three rice clusters in each of the senatorial zones of the state. However, respite came with the emergence of David Umahi, as the governor of Ebonyi State. With the dwindling oil revenue, the present administration has re-emphasised the need to revert to agriculture which was the mainstay of the Nigeria’s economy before the discovery of oil. In line with his vision for agricultural revolution especially rice in the state, Umahi has procured 40 tractors for rice production. The Ebonyi State Government has earmarked 40,500 hectares of land for rice cultivation for next year’s farming season spread across the 13 council areas in the state. Each of the LGAs has 2,500 hectares mapped for the rice production while IFAD has six thousand hectares and FADAMA, 2,000 hectares. We are of the opinion that with the above measures, the rice revolution in Ebonyi State will play a major role in ensuring local production of the stable food and reduce importation of foreign rice to barest minimum.

FG’ll unveil national carrier December -Sirika The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has disclosed that the proposed national carrier for Nigeria would be unveiled before the end of December. Sirika, a former pilot, gave the assurance while receiving the Outline Business Case Certificate of Compliance for the establishment of the airline from Mr Chidi Izuwah, the Director General, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC). The Minister said that the presentation of the Certificate was a testament on how far the project had gone. He added that the proposed airline will gulp $8.8million preliminary cost and $300 million as take-off cost. He said the federal government is not fully funding the airline as it has adopted midwifing it via the option of a Public Private partnership, to deliver a national carrier that would stand the test of time and be world class in operation and management. According to Sirika, Nigeria will receive the first set of five airplanes for the airliner on December 19. He added that the airline will make profit in three years after operations, he said. The minister said, “We will make the investments and follow the business plan through private sector management. “We intend to get a 30 aircraft market in five years. But we will begin with five
aircraft on the day of lunch. It was not clear whether an order has been made for the aircraft, but the minister in May met a team from Boeing in Abuja. “At Farnborough International Public Airshow coming July 18, 2018 in London, we will unveil the name, logo, colour scheme, the structure and the type of airplane about the national carrier. “We will also place the order for the aircraft at the event. Sirika explained that the government would step in to cover the funding gap at the onset and ease out thereafter. He said the government would not get involved in the management of the national carrier. He said Nigeria’s population of over 180 million people is huge enough to support aviation, adding that the airline would take advantage of Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) that the country had with over 70 countries. According to him, it will also take advantage of the Africa Single Air Transport Market and will be the best player if the government gets it right. “But if we don’t, it will become a threat to us. But I believe we are on the right track. The minister also gave an assurance that the national carrier would not kill the domestic airlines operating in the country. The Director General of ICRC, Izuwah, said the presentation of the
Short News
Certificate of Compliance was an official green light to proceed with the procurement process. He explained that the government would bring its contribution to kickstart the airline, adding that the amount of equity the partners would hold would determine government contribution. According to him, start up cost over the next three years is about $300 million, but pre-start-up is $8.8 million. “The rest of the investment will be equity injection which will happen in tranches because you do not need all the monies at once. External capital injection also depends on the profitability of the airline. “Though, you need that initial government financial to make it take off, but what is important is that the national carrier will be entirely private sector controlled. “There will be zero government interference. But if that happens, it invalidates the certificate and the entire process. “This is a bankable business, and the government will get a strategic partner who will invest in the national carrier and when we get through the bidding process, more facts will emerge. “The government will have to spend the pre-start up cost like the brand name, the office and other start up. “ It will be a world class airline with domestic, regional and international operations,” he said.

Court quashes forfeiture order on AITEO boss Andrew Orolua, Abuja
The Federal High Court, Friday quashed the Forfeiture Order obtained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on all UK properties belonging to Aiteo boss, Mr. Benedict Peters. The court also cleared UK properties of Mr Benedict Peters of any link with former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dizeani Alison Madueke, and upheld the properties as proceeds of legitimate earnings. Justice Binta Nyako had at the weekend, declared that the said properties - Flat 5 Parkview, Prince Albert Road, and flat 58 Harley House, Marylebone, all in the United Kingdom were legitimately earned and purchased by Mr. Peters. Consequently, the court directed the EFCC to immediately release the properties to Mr. peters, insisting that the said houses have no link to the former minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Dieziani Alison- Madueke, who is currently under investigation by the EFCC and Uk authorities over allegations of corruption while in office. The ruling followed an application filed before the court by the anti graft agency on
January 12, in pursuant to order 26, rule 11, 12 (1) and (2) order 48 rule 4 of the Federal High Court (civil procedure ) rules 2009 , section 33 of the EFCC Act of 2004 . Justice Nyako in the ruling, however declared that the said properties cannot be part of an Interim Forfeiture Order obtained by EFCC in 2016, in the course of its investigation over allegations of corruption against the former Petroleum Minister. Justice Nyako recalled how that a court of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with competent and coordinate jurisdiction had, in a judgment in separate proceedings, ruled that the said properties were legitimately earned by Mr Peters, and therefore cannot be seized by EFCC as corruption proceeds. According to her: “The said properties amongst others having been legitimately acquired by the defendant Mr. Peters and cannot be forfeited to the government under any circumstance “This settles to my mind the issues of the first two applications and judgment by the FCT High Court.” Justice Nyako however stated that the court has no authority to sit on appeal on a decision earlier taken by the FCT High Court, which is a coordinate court of
jurisdiction. The judge further argued that the interim forfeiture earlier granted the EFCC cannot override or supersede an order of final judgment of a court of coordinate jurisdiction. “Consequently, I hereby uphold the orders of the High Court of FCT and order the release of the properties of Rosewood investment, limited and Collingwood limited immediately.” Justice Nyako ruled that the respondents, EFCC, merely suspected that the properties mentioned belong to the former minister of Petroleum and seized them amongst other property purported to have belonged to the former minister as proceeds of crime Recall that a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on December 5, 2017, ruled that the choice property, listed as 58 Harley House, Marylebone Road, London, the same as the property listed under the application by Rosewood investment limited and the property listed as Flat 5 park view 83_86 prince Albert road , St. John’s Wood ,London were legitimately acquired by Mr. peters The applicant, the EFCC has not appealed the ruling of the FCT High Court which is of a coordinate court of jurisdiction.

Name those handling $322m repatriated fund, PDP tells Buhari Tunde Opalana, Abuja Following revelations that the repatriated $322 million is being siphoned by leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the cabal in the Presidency, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to make public, names and photographs of all those involved in the handling of the money. The party said President Buhari should do so to show his transparency as well as to enable Nigerians know and see the faces of those superintending over the stealing of the repatriated fund under the guise of sharing it to the ‘poorest of the poor’. The party’s position was made known in a press statement on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan. The PDP also challenged President Buhari to order the Attorney General of the
Federation (AGF) as well, to make public, the APC interests who own the consulting firm reported to have been paid billions of naira as consultancy fees for the “sharing” of the money, which was not also passed through the constitutionally required approval of the National Assembly. He said “President Buhari needs to note that Nigerians are utterly dismayed that having hitherto postured as a supporter of the ‘Talakawa’ and man of integrity, he has taken no steps against this bare-faced atrocity where over 90 percent of supposed beneficiaries of the repatriated fund are phony names supplied by fraudulent officials of his government. “Nigerians are completely at a loss on why President Buhari always fail to take bold steps to expose and deal with corrupt and sharp practices by his appointees and leaders of his APC, even when such nefarious acts are directly against the less-privileged citizens already
suffering the harsh economic realities of his administration. “Since this issue was raised and the PDP called for a legislative scrutiny, the Federal Government and the APC have kept mum, perhaps, thinking that by their silence, it will be swept under the carpet like others in the past. “However, let the APC and the Presidency be informed that Nigerians want to know the details of all those involved in the sharing, the details of the consultants; who authorized the consultancy, the scope of work of the consultancy firm as well as the terms”. The party advised President Buhari not stand aloof on this matter like others before it because it directly concerns the people, because “the impunity, stealing and corruption under his administration have reached the rooftop and must be brought to check, before the nation suffers an irreparable haemorrhage”.
Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Osita Okechukwu has urged Ndigbo to accept the olive branch offered to them by President Muhammadu Buhari. Last week at Owerri, the Imo state capital, President Muhammadu Buhari through the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha, for the second time offered Ndigbo the olive branch by reminding them that it would be their turn to produce President of Nigeria of Igbo extraction in 2023, going by the zoning convention. Mustafa however noted that the realization of a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction lies on the support of Ndigbo for President Buhari in 2019. Prodded further on what he meant by Olive Branch, Mr. Okechukwu recalled what the SGF, Mr. Boss Mustapha said at Owerri last week.

Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke on behalf the governor, made this known while receiving members of the Association of Retired Permanent Secretaries at Government House, Awka.

the issues handled by the Salaries Review Committee of which I am chairman. ``A lack of funds from federal allocation is one of the problems the state is facing as well as the issue of IGR, as most Anambra citizens are not paying their taxes as and when due. ``With increased IGR, Government will continue to do well in all sectors of development,” Dr. Okeke added. The Leader of the Delegation, Mr. Chukwurah commended the state-wide achievements attained by the present administration, saying that workers were promptly paid their salaries. ``Obiano’s government is the best we have seen so far,’’ he added.

ANSG cautions market leaders against Illegal revenue collection By John Ndu, Awka
Anambra State Government has warned market leaders and tax collectors against illegal revenue collections and diversion of government funds into private pockets, as anyone caught will be decisively dealt with. The state Commissioner for Trade, Commerce and Industry, Dr. Christian Madubuko, gave the warning during a meeting with Heads and some members of the Bridge Head Market Onitsha over
allegations leveled against the Market Chairman by some members. The allegations which include producing of fake tickets and receipts, inability to work with the Financial Secretary for accountability, and autocratic form of leadership, among others, where during the meeting debunked by the Chairman with the support of the majority of members around. Addressing the meeting, Madubuko said that his Ministry will thoroughly investigate the issues of fake tickets and multiple taxation among others warning that anyone found guilty will face
the full wrath of the law, adding that the present administration will not spear anyone that indulges in such dubious acts, no matter the personality involved. Madubuko while emphasising the need for love and unity amongst the traders, ordered the withdrawal of any existing court suit filed by the traders against each other, assuring them that his office will settle outstanding cases. Responding, the Chairman, Mr. Sunday Obinze, who debunked the allegations, appealed to the Commissioner to investigate more into the issues, saying that after
the investigation and he is found wanting that he is ready to bear the consequences, and called on the state government to help them identify the authentic receipts as all the receipts and tickets his administration uses presently are those inherited from his predecessors. Registering their grievances, some of the traders including Chief Emeka Uchendu, Mr. Wilfred Ezike, Chief Emmanuel Edochie, and Chief Innocent Ezeola, thanked the Commissioner for the visit, and called for attitudinal change by both members and the leadership of the market for peace to reign.

Secure your PVCs, Obiano’s aide urges Anambra electorate Residents of Anambra State have been called upon to secure their Permanent Voter cards (PVCs), in order to be eligible to vote in the 2019 general election. The Special Adviser to the Governor on Special Duties and Continuous Voter Registration, Dr. Amaka Akaudo, made the call during a press conference in her office at the Government House Awka. Dr. Akaudo harped on the need for the unregistered eligible voters in the state to endeavour to register in this second quarter of the registration exercise which ends this week Friday, saying that though the exercise has four quarters, it is advisable for the people to register in this second quarter in order to be able to collect their PVCs before the forthcoming elections, as those that will register in the third and fourth quarters may get theirs after the elections. Describing PVC as the only weapon with which Igbos would choose the leaders of their choice and make a name at the federal level, Dr. Akaudo emphasized the need for the masses especially
Ndi Anambra to secure theirs in preparation for the 2019 general elections. Dr. Akaudo, who revealed that the state has recorded over two million registered voters as at the end of May this year, regretted that many PVCs are yet to be collected by the owners from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, office, asking such people to visit INEC office in their Local Government Areas to collect them, as according to her, without the PVCs an individual is void of political power and right to exercise his franchise during elections. The Special Adviser said that her office as part of its responsibility of sensitising the public on the importance and power of PVC, has been liaising with stakeholders and community leaders to ensure that more eligible voters are registered, and called on Journalists to help in the voter education campaign using their various platforms. She also used the opportunity to commend Governor Willie Obiano for dimming it fit to create office for Voter education in his
government, which she noted distinguishes the administration from others in the South East
zone, and would help in making people of the state more involved in political affairs.

How Heritage Bank boosts SMEs growth through ‘The Next Titan’ Motolani Oseni Heritage bank Plc has strategies to boost the capacity development of Small Medium Enterprises, SMEs, as the headline sponsor of the annual entrepreneurial reality show, The Next Titan, as the season five of the programme kicks off. Divisional Head, Corporate Communications, Heritage Bank, Fela Ibidapo, made the declaration on yesterday, during the Press Conference held to announce the official commencement of the reality TV show this year. He assured the public that the financial powerhouse would sustain its interest and sponsorship for the programme because the goal it sets
to achieve aligns with the corporate aspiration of Heritage Bank. Ibidapo explained that the management at Heritage Bank believes that banking is not only about how much money we can make from customers; but also, about adding value to aspiring individuals, groups, community and state. His words: “Banking is not necessarily about how much we make from you, but also about encouraging success of initiatives that support economic development process. According to him, the Next Titan is an outstanding entrepreneurial scheme that has stood out in the past four years and has immensely contributed to employment generation in Nigeria; a nation where graduates and other youth endlessly scout for job opportunities.
He said the programme easily aligns with the primary focus of the management of Heritage Bank to promote every laudable entrepreneurial idea meant to broaden economic horizon of the country for the benefit of citizens and other residents of Nigeria. His words: The Next Titan is strictly SME-focused banking initiative and we are using the opportunity to enjoin people with laudable business ideas like those who participate in the annual programme to move forward. Heritage Bank will be ready, at any time to support ideas like that.” He therefore concluded that if the Next Titan remains focused to its primary goal of lifting and encouraging the spirit of entrepreneurship, Heritage Bank would be there to give it the required support to actualize its goal. Speaking at the occasion, Mide
Kunle-Akinlaja, Executive Producer, The Next Titan, disclosed that the success stories of winners from the previous editions have been phenomenal. He said being on national television, The Next Titan has positively impacted on the generality of young people and other viewers. “We are ready again to inform you that we are set for the new season, as we have already received thousands of entries from young aspiring entrepreneurs across Nigeria. This will give these young ambitious entrepreneurs another opportunity to showcase their business ideas and battle one another for a prize of N5 million and a brand-new car to start their dream businesses’, he stated. He promised the Season 5 will be more exciting; as auditions will start in Abuja at the end of the month. From

Dangote Refinery to commence petrol sales, others 2020 The Group Executive Director, Dangote Refinery, Edwin Devakumar, has said sales of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel will commence by early 2020, while the fertiliser plant, will start producing urea this year. Devakumar told Bloomberg in an interview that the $10 billion refinery, set to be one of the world’s largest and which can process 650,000 barrels of crude a day, should be near full capacity by mid-2020. “People still have difficulty believing
we can do it on time and within those costs. But we believe we can. It’s something of the size that’s rarely been done before. It’s huge.” The Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, however, showed that the refinery can transform Nigeria by weaning it off fuel imports and generating foreign exchange through exports. It is no longer a news that Nigeria despite being Africa’s biggest crude producer and an OPEC member, the West African nation ships in
almost all its gasoline and diesel from abroad because of the decrepit state of its government-owned refineries. Dangote’s facility will probably produce about 50 million litres (13.2 million gallons) a day of gasoline and 15 million liters of diesel, though output can be changed according to the demand for each product, Devakumar said. While Nigeria, a country of almost 200 million people, consumes roughly 35 million liters of gasoline
daily, Dangote can export surpluses, Devakumar said. “Once we start producing, we’ll be able to meet all local demand and we’ll also be able to start exporting,” he said. The company has been in talks with oil traders including Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Vitol Group and Trafigura Group Pte about them supplying crude and buying refined products, according to Devakumar. “We are establishing a rapport with them, but there’s been nothing specific so far,” he said.
there, he disclosed, the audition train would move to Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Lagos. The Next Titan is Nigeria’s foremost entrepreneurial reality TV show; whose importance lies in igniting entrepreneurial spirit and showcasing the possibility for transforming lives with just a business idea that can be scaled to greatness.
BOI loan conditions killing MSMEs – AMEN
• As group calls for
establishment of SME bank Andrew Orolua, Abuja
The Bank of Industry (BOI), the finance institution put in place to provide financial and business support services to enterprises, has been flayed for the loan conditions they have lined out to be met before the grants are given to business owners. In an exclusive chat with The Daily Times over the weekend, President, Association of Micro-Entrepreneurs of Nigeria (AMEN), Prince Saviour Iche described the BOI loan conditions as ‘tough’ and ‘cumbersome’. He hinted that the terms to access these loans have turned out to become militating huddles hampering small-scale entrepreneurs from getting the loans purportedly released by government to aid Micro-Small and Medium scale enterprises (MSME). Iche expressed sadness at the crass neglect of MSMEs, and the lip service being paid by government at ameliorating their plights, saying “Nigeria needs to borrow a leaf at how other countries pamper andencourage their small scale business owners.” “Access to loans are made so difficult by the BOI. Their conditions require that we must pay 10 per cent of whatever amount of loan we’re applying for. For example, if an entrepreneur needs N one million to boost his business, he’s first expected to raise and deposit 10 per cent of the loan, which is N100, 000. That condition is an impediment on us, and we demand the removal of that term. “Also when we manage to raise this 10 per cent, we are made to wait for so long for BOI before they release the loan. When I applied for a loan I was told it would take three weeks for them to process and grant me the loan. But I’ve been waiting for the past three months yet I’ve not heard from BOI. Some of us here in AMEN have been waiting for eight months, some have stayed for up to two years yet the their loan application has left hanging even after paying the 10 per cent and meeting all the other conditions mapped out by BOI. We cannot continue like this in this country.

SERAP to Buhari: Prosecute Govs over stealing of security votes Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to use his
leadership position and direct the Attorney General of Federation to investigate widespread allegations of mismanagement and corruption surrounding security votes and prosecute the errant governors accordingly. In a letter signed by (SERAP)
deputy director, Timothy Adewale and sent to Buhari’s last Friday the rights group also requesting him to use his leadership position to direct appropriate anti-corruption agencies to without delay investigate widespread allegations of corruption in the spending
of security votes by several state governors in Nigeria since the return of democracy in 1999. The organization said, “If there is relevant and sufficient admissible evidence, for former governors to face prosecution and serving governors to be prosecuted at the

Stakeholders caution FG against relocation of aviation agencies to Abuja Stakeholders’ in the Nigerian aviation industry have cautioned Federal Government against relocating aviation agencies especially the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to Abuja from Lagos. They believed such relocation would lead to the collapse of civil aviation in Nigeria, arguing that 80 per cent of revenues and activities happen in Lagos and wondered why the government was planning to relocate the agencies. Most of the stakeholders spoken with by our correspondent insisted that the plan would fail and advised the government to desist from such
act that would further drag the sector backward. Comrade Olayinka Abioye, the General Secretary of National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) in an interview with our correspondent insisted such plan would not succeed. Abioye said that rather than expend energy and resources on such activity, Sen. Hadi Sirika, the Minister of State for Aviation should focus on improving the sector by providing infrastructure tjat would further ease movement of passengers into and out of the airports across the country.
Abioye also wondered where the resources to build another edifice for the agencies were coming from, saying that such were not part of 2017 or 2018 budgets. He further described the attempt as irresponsible decision by the government. He said: “We believe there is no issue to it. As I speak to you, there are more fundamental issues in FAAN than building a head office in Abuja. Is it part of the budget for 2017 or 2018 or where is the money coming from? We were never told. I only read it in the papers. You know it is a political matter, but it is also an irresponsible decision.
All activities of parastatals take off and end in Lagos. Why they want to build headquarters of a parastatal in Abuja beats our imagination. “You know Ministers have mooted such ideas in the past and it failed. Under this kind of dispensation, civil executives are supposed to be given autonomy to run their agencies as the Acts prescribe.” Besides, Comrade Abdulrazaq Saidu, the General Secretary of Nigeria Aviation Professionals’ Association (NAPA), warned that such decision may result in the eventual collapse of aviation business in the country.
NSE suspends trading on Cornerstone Insurance, Royal Insurance, 6 others The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced suspension on trading of seven Insurance companies and one other company over nondisclosure of audited result and accounts. The seven insurance companies are Cornerstone Insurance Plc, Royal Insurance Plc, African Alliance Insurance Plc and STACO Insurance Plc, Standard Alliance Insurance Plc, Universal Insurance Company Plc and Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc.
The other company suspended by NSE was R. T. Briscoe Plc. The Exchange in a statement during the weekend stated that a full suspension was placed on the companies on July 5, 2018 and notification has been sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Market within 24 hours. According to NSE, “Dealing members are hereby notified that pursuant to Rule 3.1, Rules for Filing of Accounts and Treatment of Default Filing, Rulebook of
The Exchange (Issuers’ Rules) (“Default Filing Rules”), which provides that; “If an Issuer fails to file the relevant accounts by the expiration of the Cure Period, The Exchange will: (a) Send to the Issuer a “Second Filing Deficiency Notification” within two business days after the end of the Cure Period; (b) Suspend trading in the Issuer’s securities; and (c) Notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Market within 24 hours of the suspension”, trading in the
shares of the companies.” The Exchange said “there will be no trading of these stocks and their share price will be frozen.” The Exchange further added that, “In accordance with the rules set forth above, the suspension of the above listed companies will only be lifted upon the submission of the relevant accounts and provided The Exchange is satisfied that the accounts comply with all applicable rules of The Exchange.”
expiration of their tenure as governors.” The organization also urged Buhari to “instruct the Attorney General and/or appropriate anti-corruption agencies to publish the report of any such investigation including the names of governors that may have benefited from the public funds, and to ensure the recovery of proceeds of corruption. “We request that you take this step within 14 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, failing which SERAP will institute legal proceedings to compel your government to act in the public interest.” “Pursuing this matter would ensure that public funds are used properly, and mean state governors would be less likely to misuse or steal security votes, and ultimately improve the ability of state governments to promote, enhance and ensure the security and safety of all Nigerians in their states.” The organization said, “The lack of transparency and accountability in the spending of security votes is the real cause of many of the security challenges confronting Nigeria. State governments across the country are failing to ensure the safety and security of Nigerians and residents despite huge yearly allocations of security votes to governors. These funds are purportedly appropriated for State security.” The letter reads in part: “However, despite these huge expenditures on security, many state governors are failing to prevent kidnappings, cultism, assassinations and other unlawful killings, maiming of residents and destruction of property.” “SERAP is concerned about the growing allegations of mismanagement, waste, and corrupt practices in the spending of security votes by several state governors. Rather than using security votes to promote, enhance and ensure peace and security in their states, many governors have allegedly used and/or still using it as conduit to divert public funds for private gain.”
ACCI seeks deeper economic ties between Nigeria, Vietnam Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President of Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, stressed the need for Nigeria and Vietnam to deepen, expand and consolidate on the economic ties between both nations.

The committee chairman also revealed that the panel would pay similar oversight visits to the other three airports before submitting its report to plenary. Speaking with journalists after the visit, Senator Urhoghide said: “This committee came on oversight to establish value for money. The project that we have here in Abuja and three
other airports namely: Kano, Port Harcourt and Lagos. We have come here to ascertain the expenditure of $100 million which is counterpart funding that the Nigerian government entered into with China Exim Bank. This is the first airport we have visited.

Lagos Govt begins global campaign to woo investors Lagos State Government has launched a global campaign to play up the huge investment opportunities which abound in the State, with the view to turning Lagos into the most desirable investment destination in the world. The State Government, at the media launch of the campaign tagged ‘Lagos To The World (L2W) held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, at the weekend, also unveiled a deal book detailing investment opportunities in key sectors including health, transportation, oil and gas, among others. Speaking at the event which was attended by members of diplomatic missions and the business community, Special Adviser, Lagos State Office of Overseas Affairs and Investment, otherwise known as Lagos Global, Professor Ademola Abass, said the global campaign was an initiative of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration designed to better market and communicate investment opportunities in the State. Giving details, Abass said in the last three years, the State Government had invested massively in providing infrastructure as well as the enabling environment for businesses to thrive, saying that it became imperative to unpack the State for investors to appreciate the vast opportunities which abound in the State. “Lagos To The World (L2W) is an initiative of Governor Ambode and what informed this is that we felt that all the government has been doing in recent times especially in terms of investment in the last three years should be made known to the world. We felt the world need to know how Lagos has been improving in terms of infrastructural development, in terms of security, roads, energy and so on. “Most of these things are what attract investors but the story is not being told out there and so the whole effort of this is to tell people how Lagos Global has been working to project Lagos more forcefully in terms of investment opportunities in Lagos State,” Abass said.

Customs nets N8.6bn in 6 months Joy Anyim, Lagos Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone ‘A’ Ikeja, Lagos has generated N8.6 billion as revenue from January to June 2018. The Controller of the Unit, Comptroller Mohammed Uba who disclosed this on Sunday via a press statement said the amount was made through seizures, duty payments, demand notices on vehicles and general goods. In his statement, Uba also disclosed that a total of 106 suspects were arrested within the period, saying, the feat was achieved through the resilience and doggedness of officers and men of the Unit in anti-smuggling
activities and their dedication to block all revenue leakages. Giving a breakdown of the total sum made, the Controller said, “ The Unit having strengthened its anti-smuggling operations intercepted various contraband with a duty paid value (DPV) of over N8.2 billion. “Similarly, the unit through its interventions recovered over N405 million from duty payments and demand notices on vehicles and general goods that tried cut corners from seaports, airport and border stations through wrong classification, transfer of value, and shortchange in duty payment that are meant for the coffers of Federal Government of Nigeria. This makes it a cumulative of over N8.6 billion.” “ In the Months under review,
107 suspects were arrested in connection to 596 different seizures comprising 34,652 foreign parboiled rice (equivalent to 58 trailers); 167 units of exotic vehicles (Toyota Prado/Lexus; bullet proof), Toyota C-HR , Toyota Camry LE, Toyota Prado(s), Toyota Hilux, Ford F150, Pajero Jeeps, Mercedes Benzranging from 20152018 models respectively); 8,987 cartons frozen poultry products, 4,586 jerrycans of vegetable oil, 3,463 cartons of different pharmaceutical/medicaments, 370 parcels/98 sacks of Indian hemp weighing 1,350kg, and various general merchandise. “Remarkably among the seizures within this period, was the interception of 460 sacks of pangolin scales weighing 12, 264 kg and 218 elephant tusks, making
it the highest seizure of such endangered species in the history of Federal Operations Unit Zone A.” He noted that the Pangolin scales and elephant tusk seized had attracted a lot of accolades to the Unit from the ComptrollerGeneral of Customs Col. HameedIbrahim Ali (rtd) and his management team. “These seizures have also attracted the visit by the Minister of State for Environment; Mallam Ibrahim Usman accompanied by the United Nations charter on CITES delegates led by Mr Juan Carlos who is the Chief Legal Affairs, CITES Headquarters in Geneva, to inspect the seized items and make necessary recommendation to its headquarters.’’
Justice I.B Garfai of Federal High Court 1 sitting in Awka, the Anambra State capital has sentenced three persons to three years imprisonment each for conspiracy, unlawful damage and stealing of electricity cables belonging to the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC). The vandals, identified as: Onyedikachi Nwosu (18), Chinonso Ezenwanne (18) and Chizoba Ezedalu (22) committed an act contrary to the provisions of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap.M.17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code, Laws of the Federation 2004. In a statement signed by EEDC Head, Communications, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, lauded the efforts of the Judiciary in ensuring speedy trial of these vandals, and hope that this would serve as deterrent to others who indulge in same act of sabortage which impacts negatively on the quality of service the company render to their customers. “As a business, we have committed millions of Naira in restoring vandalised transformers and this is not a sustainable practice. We therefore continue to apppeal to our customers to join hands in protecting these installations serving them.’’ “We, therefore, commend the support of vigilante groups and security agencies such as the Civil Defence Corps, the Army and the Nigerian Police towards ensuring that this ugly menace is addressed and perpetrators are brought to book.’’

Insecurity: Ethnic nationalities, others demand security summit in 2 weeks • Say, Nigeria drifting into anarchy Stories: Patrick Okohue Various Nigerian Ethnic Nationalities, including Self-Determination Groups, Civil Society Organisations as well as Professional and Youth Associations converged in Lagos at the weekend to discuss the rising spate of killings across the country, especially the communal clashes, farmers/herders conflicts and attacks by bandits in Zamfara, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, Plateau and across at least eight other states of the country. The meeting, which had representatives of over 200 other groups in attendance, and which was held with a view to proffering lasting solution to the ugly situation, declared that, “the current dangerous situation which places the younger generation of Nigerians at the receiving end of all the violent incidences is unacceptable and must be halted.” At the end of the two day intensive deliberations, the well-attended meeting convened by the National President, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Mallam Yerima Usman Shetima, resolved in a communiqué to give a two-week ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari and all the stakeholders in the Nigeria project to act decisively to avoid the consequential backlash of overstressing citizen’s patience. The communiqué was jointly signed by Mallam Shettima Usman Yerima (Convener), Mazi Okechukwu Iziogosoro (National President, Ohanaeze Youth Council), Eric Olawale (Yoruba Youth Council) and Barrister Pereotubo R. Oweilaemi (President, Ijaw Youth Council and President, Ethnic Nationalities of Niger Delta) on behalf of over 200 youth ethnic nationalities groups across Nigeria and in the Diaspora. According to the communiqué, the groups further warned that, “Nigeria, Africa and indeed the entire world may not be able to cope with the consequences of a full blown
Mallam Yerima Usman Shetima
religious or ethnic war in Nigeria which the current dangerous trend portends.” “The situation also portends the immediate danger of scuttling the nation’s democratic order with the dire consequences of a drift to anarchy. We therefore call on Nigerian elders, leaders of thought, theological and cultural leaders and all our international friends to step in quickly and save the situation as any further delay could be dangerous. “Clearly, the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has failed in the discharge of its primary responsibility of securing citizen’s lives and properties. Consequently, we urge that the President as the Chief Security Officer of the country to liaise with critical stakeholders in the
Buhari
country to convene a Security Summit within two weeks to address decisively the ugly situation,” the communiqué demanded. The meeting, according to the communiqué, became necessary in view of the scary figures quoted by various national and international bodies accounting for the lives lost to series of violent situations in the last few years. “The situation is so disturbing that the UK House of Lords for instance, recently expressed worry about the inability of the Nigerian authorities to end the excessive killings, warning that ethno-religious violence in the country may escalate to the Rwanda type genocide if the Federal Government remained complacent about it. “On its part, Amnesty International,
APC chieftain, Ilelaboye drums support for Ambode A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos East Senatorial District, Alhaji Tunji Ilelaboye has urged the APC leadership in the state to use loyalty, competence and performance as parameters for selection and re-election of candidates of the party, especially in Lagos East ahead 2019 general elections. He stated that if such criteria and performance index are adopted, it will go a long way in calming frayed nerves and ensuring the victory of APC candidates vying for the House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senatorial seats in the general elections next year without rancour among contenders. He insisted that any political office holder especially those currently serving that fails to live up to expectation of the people in their constituencies should be dropped for more vibrant and grassroots oriented candidates. Ilelaboye, a former Sole Administrator in Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development
Picture: Ambode
Area, dropped the hint at Alapere, Lagos, while speaking with Journalists during a
sensitisation programme in the Council area. According to him, “Everywhere you go in the Lagos metropolis and outside the state, people are commending the Lagos State governor, Akinwumi Ambode for a job well done. The people are the ones calling for his reelection in 2019, because of his excellent performance three years on. “Our elected representatives too must enjoy the confidence of people who voted for them based on their contribution towards their human capacity development since 2015, to guarantee easy passage for them at the polls,” he declared. While commending Governor Ambode and the lawmaker representing Kosofe Constituency 1 in the Lagos House of Assembly, Hon. Bayo Osinowo for bringing the joy of social infrastructure to Lagosians and Lagos East, he, however urged the people not to trade their votes for peanuts since Ambode’s performance has silenced opposition in the Centre of Excellence.
on June 27, 2018 quoted 1,813 violence-related deaths based on reported cases since January 2018 alone, with many more killings during the period which were either denied by the government, or were never reported at all. “In a separate report, the United States Council on Foreign Relations’ Nigeria Security Tracker says it has documented at least 19,890 deaths in Nigeria since June 2015, just after the current administration assumed office on May 29, 2015. “The CFR, an independent body of experts dedicated to
providing advice on policy options facing countries, put the cumulative deaths from May 2011 to May 2018 at 53,595 in violence that is both causal and symptomatic of weakness of Nigeria’s political institutions and citizen alienation. “They also included violent incidents related to political, economic, and social grievances directed at the state or other affiliated groups (or conversely the state employing violence to respond to those incidents.) “Armed with sophisticated weaponry, bands of killers moving freely are believed to have killed more men, women and children in 2015, 2016 and 2017 than Boko Haram has done in the 12 years of its violent campaign. “And these untamed bandits and armed ethnic militias who have killed thousands with impunity, are most likely to kill more in the absence of prosecution or deterrent, with government appearing helpless or unwilling to act decisively. “A failure of the authorities to halt the trend has already given rise to speculations suggesting that the bloodbath is deliberately orchestrated by those holding power in order to service occultic demands, or that government is manipulating the situation to split the nation along religious or ethnic fault lines in order to gain the sympathy of certain sections in the forthcoming general elections,” the communiqué concluded.
Supreme Court verdict: Group urges Ayogu Eze to join Ugwanyi for good goverance A frontline sociopolitical pressure group, the Save Enugu Group (SEG), has congratulated Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State on his victory against Senator Ayogu Eze at the Supreme Court on the legal tussle over the candidature of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Describing the victory as “a final divine seal on the mandate unanimously given to Governor Ugwuanyi,” the group in a statement signed by its Coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu urged Senator Ayogu Eze to join hands with the governor to deepen good governance in the state. “We are convinced that now that this legal tussle has come to the final bus stop, it is time to move Enugu State forward
without further distractions. “We urge Senator Ayogu Eze to embrace his brother and work together with Governor Ugwuanyi, who has distinguished himself as a humble servant of the people of Enugu State to deepen the ongoing good governance revolution in Enugu State. “There is no doubt, following his antecedents, that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi shall be magnanimous in victory and in his traditional manner extend a hand of fellowship to his brother. “For us, this victory is a final divine seal on the mandate unanimously given to Governor Ugwuanyi and also a sign that God has approved his second term as the governor of our dear state,” the statement read.

Former Tottenham striker Alan Gilzean passes on at 79
Former Dundee and Tottenham striker Alan Gilzean has died at the age of 79 after a short illness. The 22-time capped Scotland international had been diagnosed with a brain tumour just a few weeks ago. Gilzean, known as the ‘King of White Hart Lane’, moved to Spurs in 1964, scoring 133 goals in a 10-year spell. He spent seven years at Dundee, winning the 1961-62 league title and helping the club reach the European Cup semi-finals the following season. During his time at Tottenham, Gilzean won the FA Cup, two League Cups, and was part of the side that won an all-
g23
English Uefa Cup final against Wolves in 1973. A statement from Spurs read: “Everyone at the club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our legendary former striker Alan Gilzean. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this extremely difficult time.” His first professional club said: “Everyone at Dundee Football Club is devastated to learn that club legend Alan Gilzean passed away this morning after recently being diagnosed with a brain tumour. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Alan’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
Cult of Gareth Southgate grows, England World Cup fever mounts England is basking in unexpected World Cup success as coach Gareth Southgate is elevated to national hero status, cathedral organs belt out football anthems and the country prepares to shut down for Wednesday’s semi-final. Clean-cut, waistcoated manager Southgate was not even supposed to be in Russia. Now he’s about to lead England against Croatia with a place in Sunday’s final beckoning. When the 47-year-old was appointed in November 2016 after Sam Allardyce left his post following a newspaper sting after just 67 days in charge, there was little fanfare. That’s all changed now. “Southgreat” trumpeted the Sun on Sunday. “Cry God for Harry, England and St George!” said the Sunday Telegraph.
England, basking in a long summer heatwave, is starting to believe the team can reach their first final since 1966 after the young side saw off Sweden 2-0 in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Almost 20 million people in Britain tuned in, not accounting for the many more who watched in pubs and public viewing areas. Streets were deserted as people crammed into sweaty pubs, gathered around big screens or stayed home to watch the national side reach the last four of a World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Marks and Spencer, official tailors to the England team, declared Saturday #NationalWaistcoatDay in honour of Southgate and the team. The manager has even been promised a lifetime supply of waistcoats from a firm in London.
“I’m so impressed with Southgate’s performance, and with his choice of attire,” the founder Sir Plus, Henry Hales, told the London Evening Standard. Exeter Cathedral, in southwest England, tweeted a video of an organist playing the unofficial team anthem “Three Lions (Football’s Coming Home)” in an tweet entitled “To Russia With Love”. The song itself, released by the Lightning Seeds and comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel
for Euro ’96, hosted in England, is storming up the charts again. Fans have also adapted another song, “Whole Again” by Atomic Kitten. “Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape it, I cannot forget,” the fans chant. “Southgate you’re the one. You still turn me on and football’s coming home again.” Social media star Southgate was an accomplished defender for England and a clutch of Premier League clubs, but his
managerial experience is limited to a spell at Middlesbrough and with the England Under-21s He famously appeared in a pizza advertisement that played on his penalty miss in the Euro 96 semifinal shootout against eventual champions Germany. But he has gone from fall guy to hero, taking social media by storm, with the hashtag #GarethSouthgateWould used thousands of times by people imagining how he would help them out.
Emmanuel Amuneke: Super Eagles will improve with more creative players, good strikers FIFA technical study group member, Emmanuel Amuneke, has urged the handler of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr to inject more creative midfielders in the team ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Seychelles. The Super Eagles failed to make it out of the group stages of the World Cup for the third time in six appearances at the FIFA World Cup and Amuneke who is in the five-man FIFA Technical Study group revealed that the team missed out due to little details. Nigeria lost 2-0 to Croatia in their opening game
but bounced back to beat Iceland to boost their chances of qualifying for the next round, that was truncated by their 2-1 loss to Argentina. “It was a good try. We were close, yet still far off,” Amuneke said. “We have seen some lapses and must correct them and inject fresh ideas to compete well against other teams that set up their team to nullify our threats. “There were lots of positives from the tournament on the part of the Super Eagles which they must build on just like the creative aspect and the attack.”
