Anxiety over next FHC CJ Continued from page 1 (CJ) of the court.

The development is sequel to the fact that the outgoing CJ of the FHC, Justice Ibrahim Ndahi Auta, is expected to bow out on September 19, 2017, when he will clock the mandatory retirement age of 65.

But preparations for his valedictory session and a book launch written in his honour are already in top gear as the event comes up on September 19.

Since the inception of the Nigeria’s Judiciary, the tra-

dition is that the position of heads of courts are usually based on seniority except in a rare situation whereby the next in line of seniority is facing allegations of corruption and other offences that may prevent him from assuming the headship of the court.

This scenario occurred when the then President of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Justice Ayo Isa Salami, was suspended for more than a year while the number two in the line of seniority, the late Justice Dalhatu Adamu, was appointed as the

acting PCA for three consecutive times.

But he was never made the PCA due to adverse security report while the number three in the line of seniority, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, was appointed above the late Adamu as the substantive PCA. The National Judicial Council (NJC), headed by the former CJN, Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar, was said to have explained that allegations of misconduct against the late Adamu prevented the NJC from adhering to the tradi-

tion of seniority and later appointed Justice Bulkachuwa as the PCA. But the issue of who succeeds Justice Auta has assumed a new dimension as certain issues are now cropping up and may change the narrative on seniority.

By tradition, the number two judge in the FHC and the next in line as the next CJ on seniority is Justice Abdul Kafarati while the number three is Justice John Tsoho.

But a reliable source at the Federal High Court confided in The Daily Times

Group Managing Director, CMC Connect Ltd, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya; Special Adviser to Governor of Lagos State on Environment, Babatunde Hunpe; Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare and Executive Director, CMC Connect, Raheem Olabode, at Cleaner Lagos Initiative Stakeholders Engagement for Lagos Island held...recently.

that series of meetings are ongoing in a bid to pick who will succeed Justice Auta.

The source, who sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, stated that certain stakeholders are rooting for Bulkachuwa scenario and scheming for a female judge as the next CJ of the FHC. According to the source, the stakeholders are doing everything thing possible to discredit number two and three who are next in line for the CJ post in order to pave way for the female judge to emerge as the next CJ. He said: “It is glaring how these people are now desperate. You will be surprised to know that a lot of petitions have been emanating from every angle against one of the judges who had performed creditably.

“Since I’ve been a judicial officer of this court, this is the first time I will hear that a petitioner who sought to withdraw his petition against a judge will be encouraged by a member of the panel not to do so”.

The source added that one of the influential members of the panel handling the petition is one of the stakeholders planning to install the female judge as the next CJ. Meanwhile, some senior lawyers also confided in our correspondent that they would challenge the

stakeholders in order to prevent them from denying the judicial officer from assuming the position of the next CJ. One of the senior lawyers, who confirmed the existence of the plot, said, “We are already on standby watching what is going on.

We are going to resist them this time around”.

The Daily Times recalls that Justice Auta was sworn in as the CJ of the FHC , following the disengagement of Justice Dan Abutu who clocked the 65 years mandatory retirement age on May 11, 2011.

Justice Auta was sworn in by the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Alloysious Katsina-Alu. Auta started his career at the Bench when he moved from Borno State judiciary to the FHC in 1990.

He inched up the ladder, leaving profound judgements and astounding precedents in his wake.

In March 2011, he was appointed the acting CJ of the Federal High Court and then confirmed as the substantive Chief Judge of the Federal High Court on May 11, 2011.

In the course of his remarkable career, there have been a myriad of appointments trailing his rise including his appointment as the National President, Magistrates Association from 1986-1988.

NiMet: Aviation professionals petition transport minister over workers’ welfare Ï As defunct NICON Airways’ employees owed four years’ salaries Ï 20 ex-workers of NICON die Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

ÏÏÏ Aviation professionals in the country have petitioned the Minister of Transportation, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, complaining about gross neglect and lopsidedness in the workers’ welfare, postings, promotions and employments in the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET).

The professionals, under the aegis of Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals (ANAP), in a letter addressed to Amaechi, said that the irregular employments, promotions of junior officers above their seniors to constant indiscriminate filling of vacant positions from outside the agency without internal and external advertisements of such vacant positions as required by law, are

unbecoming and disturbing in the industry.

Signed by the Secretary General, Comrade Abdul Rasaq Saidu, the letter said that in the past years, various Director Generals and Chief Executive Officers of NiMet had openly violated the Public Service Rule through the aforementioned activities carried out on the basis of demographic representation or political sentiments, thereby placing the existing serving career officers in the agency at serious disadvantage, their long years in service notwithstanding.

ANAP, in the official statement made available to journalists on Monday, was bitter that a lot of long serving meteorologists were cheated in 2005, stressing: “In 2005, for example, the then CEO and his man-

agement team carried out an employment exercise for fresh meteorologists to G1.08 with first degree to complement the workforce of the agency at that time, but to the surprise of everyone, they placed some of their candidates with same first degree as others on G1.09, that is a grade level higher without any justification”.

According to the professionals, the exercise, done 12 years ago, was effected to position the meteorologists for leadership over their colleagues, jus at they warned that such step was a trend which became an order of the day in MiMet. With such system, the professionals pointed out that subsequent DG/CEOs and other management see it as an opportunity for them to also position them-

selves in the agency regardless of the provisions of the Public Service Rules of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as it concerns promotions and employments.

To correct the rot in the agency, ANAP stated that it wrote a letter dated, July 27, 2017, to the Director General of NiMet, Prof. Abubakar Sanni Mashi, when he resumed duty office this year.

The letter, which was acknowledged by NiMet on July 31, 2017, according to ANAP, was intended to create a platform whereby ANA, the DG, NiMet management and other stakeholders to discuss the issue of workers’ welfare in the best interest of industrial peace and harmony in the agency.

Unfortunately, ANAP said: “Up till this moment,

the DG/CEO has not responded to ANAP letter; instead, he also decided to take advantage of recent filling of vacant directorship positions in the various directorates of the agency by the Ministry of Transportation (Aviation) and issue out letters of promotion to some selected staff of the agency, some of whom were promoted from GL.15-Assistant General Managers (AGMs) to GL.17General Managers (GM).

“By this, ANAP’s calculations are that they automatically become seniors to their colleagues AGMs, who have put in more years in service when they have without going through any form of interview.

“More so, these officers just got promoted alongside their colleagues to level 15 in 2015”, ANAP hinted.

“What then is the yardstick used by the DG/CEO in handpicking few officers and giving them double promotion in less than 2 years”, ANAP queried.

Stating that Prof. Mashi’s action is unacceptable, provocative, ANAP called for an immediate reversal of the selective exercise on promotion and appointments carried out in the agency.

It also said that “we are also calling on concerned Federal Government authorities to immediately look into NiMet nominal roll duly attached for ease of reference for correct placements and repositioning of NiMet staff otherwise, the union should not be held responsible for whatever action deemed Continued on page 7

High non-performing loans put banks at risk Continued from page 1 cult operating environment among other factors.

The scenario calls for urgent action by the regulatory authorities to fashion out more protective devices for depositors and investors in such banks, while the Federal Government’s constructive policies aimed at enhancing operating environment for the financial institutions, may arrest the ugly trend.

At present, many commercial banks in the country are increasingly finding it challenging to cope with the difficult operating environment in the country, following exposures, such as huge unpaid loans; infrastructure, recession, among others factors.

A reliable source at a recent financial market event

revealed that the Nigerian financial system, irrespective of the establishment of Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), has not fared better as more toxic loans continue to challenge the strong foundation of Nigerian financial institutions.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said: “I don’t think that we are better off now than when AMCON was founded.

More non-performing loans are being created; and the banks are not helping matters in building none performing loans”.

While calling on shareholders and depositors in deposit money banks to always hold the regulators accountable for the bad behaviour in the banking sector, the source said that banks in some cases deliberately breach rules and pay the requisite fines, hence such

unethical practice gives them mileage, adding that toxic debt is gradually eating up more banks, than expected.

According to the source, irrespective of the fact that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, had earlier assured that no bank in the country would fail, the ongoing trend in the sector points to the contrary if concerted effort is not put in place to avoid imminent failure of some deposit money banks.

“It is a huge burden to keep to the promise that no bank will fail, excess of 50 per cent of banks are epileptic,” the source disclosed.

Indeed, Nigeria’s current economic hardships, especially induced by recession, was believed to be responsible for the rising bad loans in no fewer than 13 com-

mercial banks.

Consequently, unpaid debt by the banks’ customers accounted for the N230.6 billion Non- Performing Loans (NPLs) in the first six month of 2017.

However, latest Fitch ratings has, however, affirmed Nigeria’s sovereign ratings at B+; negative outlook; and it says Africa’s largest economy rating is supported by large, diversified economy, significant oil reserves, net external creditor position, among other factors.

But a look at commercial banks’ N230.6bn bad loans in half year (H1) 2017 showed that the amount was higher than N76.5bn or 3.4 per cent from N222.9 bn provided by these 13 banks for bad loans in H1 2016 and confirms macro economy challenges and banks’ prudential provision for 9mobile, the mobile operator, formerly known as Etisalat

Nigeria.

The Daily Times’ findings, revealed that Zenith Bank led other 12 banks in loan loss provision, followed by Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc. According to information gathered by our correspondent, both lenders made huge provisions for the troubled 9mobile, which went bad, and it reflected in their half year results.

Specifically, Zenith Bank’s loan loss provision increased by 198 per cent to N42.9bn in H1 2017, from N14.23bn in H1 2016.

The Managing Director/ CEO of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Peter Amangbo, had revealed that his bank made a provision on 30 per cent on its loan to the network operator.

Stanbic IBTC Holding loan loss provision increased by 65.1 per cent from N8.45bn in H1 2016 to N13.95bn in H1 2017; while Ecobank Nigeria’s loan loss provision rose by 62.4 per cent to N42bn ($138 million) from N25.99bn ($85m) in H1 2016.

Wema Bank’s loans loss provision in H1 2017 increased significantly by 43.7 per cent to N88m from N61m in H1 2016.

In a statement, the Chief Executive Officer, Wema Bank, Mr. Segun Oloketuyi, said: “In the first half of the year, the bank operated in an uncertain and challenging domestic economic environment.

“While we recorded notable improvements in the second quarter of the year, especially around foreign currency management, the execution of fiscal policies and the continued tight monetary policy impacted

on consumers’ disposable income and invariably on banking sector performance.”

He said the bank commenced the second half of the year with cautious optimism, especially around the implementation of the needed economic reforms and execution of the 2017 budget to ensure stimulation of economic growth.

“The expectation is that the country will exit recession in the 2018 financial year, but this will be dependent on a diligent execution of the reform programme,” he said.

UBA’s loan loss provision also increased significantly by 38.4 per cent to N9.4bn from N6.8bn in H1 2016.

The lender recently said it has made a prudential provision on loans made to Etisalat Nigeria. But the lender did not give details of the provision; but said it had a N38bn ($125m) exposure to 9mobile.

Sterling Bank’s provision gained 11.4 per cent to N4bn, as against N3.6bn recorded in H1 2016; while Diamond Bank’s provision for bad loans closed the H1 2017 at N20bn, an increase of seven per cent over N18.9bn in H1 2016.

Also, Diamond Bank’s loan loss provision rose by 6.9per cent to N20.3bn, from N18.99bn in H1 2016.

Both, FCMB and Union Bank of Nigeria’s provision for bad loans dropped by 26.1 per cent and 38.8 per cent to N9.97bn and N5.4bn in H1 2017, respectively.

First Bank of Nigeria Holdings’ loan loss dropped by 13.6 per cent to N60.4bn from N69.9bn in the corresponding period.

Customs uncovers 1,100 pump action rifles in 20-foot container Ï Arrest officer, terminal clerk Ï CGS expresses worry over arms’ importation Ganiyu Obaaro, Anthony Nwakaegho & Joy Anyim

ÏÏÏ Operatives of

the TinCan Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) have smashed a syndicate that specialised in smuggling weapons into the country, following the discovery of 1,100 pump action riffles loaded in a 20foot container.

The weapons discovered to have being brought into the country from Turkey, were concealed inside a container, which Bill of Laden indicated it was conveying wash hand basins.

The seizure makes it the third in the year after the service had, in January, in-

tercepted a container load of arm along Mile Two Expressway and the Tin-Can Island Command had also intercepted another container load of arm on May 23, 2017.

The first was by men of Federal Operations Unit Zone A, Ikeja, where a Mack truck with registration number BDG 265 XG, conveying a 17×40ft container with Number PONU/825914/3, loaded with 661 pieces of pump action riffles falsely declared as steel doors, was intercepted. The seizures were from China.

The second was the Tin Can Island Customs Command where 440 pieces of the riffles were intercepted.

The rifles were from Tur-

key.

The 440 rifles were concealed inside a-forty footer container with numbers PONU210024 (1) 22G1 carrying POP powder used for design of houses.

The breakdown of the consignment were 100 pieces of black Tornado single barrel rifle, 75 pieces of silver magnum single barrel rifles, 50 pieces of alter pump action rifle, 225 pieces of black single barrel rifles, 164 pieces of rifle nozzle, 103 pieces of arms grips, 110 pieces of trigger, 113 pieces of arm guard, 107 pieces of bridge block, 122 pieces of Allen keys, 117 pieces of assemble butt and 516, 50kg bags of POP cement.

Surprisingly on September 6, 2017, the Tin-Can

Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service Intercepted another 1,100 pump action rifles imported from Turkey.

The Comptroller-General of the service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), who spoke on the seizures at a press briefing, frowned at the importation of arms into the country through Turkey.

He disclosed that all three containers of arms intercepted by the service earlier in the year were imported into the country through Turkey.

Ali said the 20-ft container had originally been declared to contain wash hand basins and water closets.

He said: “On the 6th of September, 2017 operatives

of the Nigeria Customs Service intelligence unit on a routine monitoring of activities across the terminals discovered a 1x20ft container with number, GESU2555208, which was not previously listed for examination positioned with other containers for the day’s examination.

“They also observed that the seal of this unlisted container had already been cut and padlocked. The container became suspect and had to be immediately transferred to the enforcement unit.”

The CG further disclosed that a Customs officer and a terminal clerk had been arrested in connection with the broken seal.

Ali said: “Upon thorough

examination, the container contained 600 pieces of Jojef Magnum Black Pump action; 300 pieces of Jojef Magnum silver Pump action and 209 pieces of Jojef Magnum Plastic Single Barrels Hunting Gun Pump Action Rifles.

“Importation of 1100 rifles at a time when the nation is undergoing some security challenges is a clear indication that there are indeed some elements who do not believe in the unity, peace and well-being of Nigeria”.

Speaking with one of our correspondents, the Public Relation Officer of the Nigerian Customs, Tin-Can Island Command, Mr. Uche Ejesieme confirmed the seizure.

NiMet: Aviation professionals petition transport minister Continued from page 5 fit in protest of illegalities already perpetrated to deprive the workers of NiMet by management”.

ANAP equally warned that they have directed their members strategically positioned at Abuja NiMet headquarters including all out stations airports, particularly the four international airports to be on standby as they are fully prepared to give it all it takes should all issues stipulated in the letter is not urgently and amicably resolved after 21 days that this letter was received.

In separate letters addressed to the DG/CEO of NiMet, Prof. Mashi, dated September 5, 2017, ANAP had once again reminded

and also requested for an urgent union/NiMet management meeting to be held on the September 19, 2017, just as it also emphasied the need for NiMet to recognise ANAP’s executive members of Port Harcourt Zone under Eastern Zonal Council of ANAP. In a related development, four years after the ex-workers of the defunct airline, NICON Airways, owned by the controversial businessman, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, got judgment of N1 billion in their favour on the payment of their entitlements, the workers of the airline yet to be paid their benefits as ordered by the court.

The former workers are therefore accusing Ibrahim of evading justice despite the judgment of the Na-

tional Industrial Court of Abuja against him on the matter.

The Court sitting in Abuja, had awarded the workers numbering over 250, about N1bn as unpaid salaries and allowances; and the abrupt closure of the airline, which he acquired from the former Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris Wada in 2007.

The leadership of the workers also accused Wada of “wickedness” and “abandonment” since the case began in court, stressing that he sold the airline to Ibrahim without the knowledge of any of the directors of the airline.

A 21-page court judgment

by Justice M.N. Esowe and made available to journalists, the court had awarded

the damages to the workers on September 16, 2013, but till date, Ibrahim is yet to honour the judgment.

Rather, Jomoh filed an appeal against the judgement, but was equally struck out on May 23, this year by Justice E.N. Agbakoba.

Justice Esowe had ordered Ibrahim to pay outstanding arrears of leave allowances; crew allowances, overseas unpaid allowances in United States dollars and cumulative unremitted cooperative by the staff between May 2007 to April 2011 to the former employees amounting to over N1bn.

The judgment, Suit No. NICN/LA/192/2011, and made available to our correspondent, had identified Mr. Henry Iwelunmo,

L-R: Director, NEM Insurance Plc, Alhaji Ahmed Yakasai ; Deputy MD, Mrs. Susan Giwa-Osagie; Group Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Tope Smart and Chairman Board, Dr. Fidelis Ayebae, during the 47th Annual General Meeting of NEM Insurance Plc held at Premier Hotel, Ibadan, Oyo State...recently

Mr. Lukman Kolawolem, Mr. George Omoniyi and Mrs. Eunice Odey as the plaintiffs, while NICON Airways, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim and Capt. Idris Ichalla Wada as the defendants.

Justice Esowe, in his judgment, accused Ibrahim and Wada of abandoning the employment of the 1st defendant and carting away all the proper assets of the defendant without any communication and discussion with the plaintiffs on their contracts of employment and subsisting entitlements from the 1st defendant.

The justice described this action as, “fraudulent and improper conduct, which was capable of rendering the 2nd and 3rd defendants personally liable to the plaintiffs.”

A breakdown of the payments indicated that NICON Airways owned by Ibrahim was supposed to pay the total sum of N16.4 million as pension funds to the workers, N8.1m as the cumulative contributions to the Nigeria Social and Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), which was deducted, but unremitted by Jimoh from the workers’ salaries and entitlements between the period; and payment of N808.7m as the aggregate arrears of the workers’ salaries for the period.

Others are: “An order of this honourable court mandating the defendants and their directors to pay the sum of to pay the sum of N4.02, 857m to the plaintiffs forthwith being the

aggregate arrears of the plaintiffs’ leave allowance since the months of May 2007 to April 2011 and others that will become due and payable to the plaintiffs during the pendency and final determination of this suit.

“An order of this honourable court mandating the defendants and their directors to pay the sum of N3, 380,500 only to the plaintiffs forthwith being the aggregate arrears of the plaintiffs crew/flight allowance for the months of May 2007 to April, 2011.”

The female justice also awarded the sum of $41,750 to the workers being the aggregate arrears of their overseas allowance, another N16.4m, as pension contribution funds deducted from their salaries, but not remitted to the workers, N2.4m as the cumulative contributions of the workers to cooperative society, N16.4m deducted as pension contributions, but not remitted by Jimoh Ibrahim and 21 per cent interest on the entire sum from May 2007 till 2011; and another 10 per cent per annum until final liquidation of the entire judgment sum among several other damages awarded to the workers.

Ibrahim was also ordered to pay the sum of N20m as the plaintiffs’ solicitors’ fee and expenses.

But, it was gathered that rather for Ibrahim to obey the court orders, he delayed his appeal on the matter for another two years till 2015.

Court dismisses Melaye’s suit, directs INEC to continue recall process Andrew Orolua, Abuja

ÏÏÏ The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed the suit filed by Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West senatorial district in the National Assembly, seeking to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from undertaking the processes of his recall from the National Assembly, following a petition to that effect by his constituency.

The court further held that Melaye’s complaints are ‘hasty, premature and presumptuous” and therefore ordered the INEC to go ahead with its planned verification exercise.

Melaye and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kogi State Chapter, have among other

reliefs prayed the court to declare the petition from his constituents to INEC for the recall as illegal and unconstitutional.

They had also prayed the court for a declaration that the petition forwarded to the INEC was signed by fictitious, dead and noneexisting persons that are not from the senatorial district.

Delivering judgement on the suit on Monday, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba said there was no merit in most of the complaints brought before the court by Melaye which bordered on “fair hearing”.

The court also held that contrary to the position of Melaye, the constituents who wrote the petition to INEC that sought his recall are neither under any duty to serve him with a copy of the petition nor offer him an opportunity to defend

himself.

The judge said, “I do not believe that the petitioners have the duty to serve the plaintiff with a copy of the petition. The duty of the constituents is to write and submit their petition to the electoral body.

“There is no provision in Sections 68 and 69 of the Constitution that provides the scope for the writers of the petition to inform the plaintiff of plans to recall him or for him to come and clear himself of allegations levelled against him.”

Whereas the court observed that in the United States, there is no provision for recall of an elected official, but Justice Dimgba said that, “the makers of our Constitution decided to make “recall option” available with all its inherent dangers”.

The court insisted that

unlike in impeachment process, “Fair hearing is not an option in recall process”.

Consequently, the judge held that the only option available for Melaye, is for him to go through the verification process to be conducted by INEC. The court also ordered INEC to serve Melaye with the copy of the recall petition, schedule of signatures attached to the petition and full list of persons in support of the recall process.

The judge said, “It is important that the plaintiff be equipped with the relevant materials and processes he needs to prepare for the verification exercise.”

On the 90 days time limit set for the recall process, the court held that it was doubtful of the date beginning from June 23, 2017, saying even if it existed, the 90 days paused on July 6, 2017

when the court made an interim order on the suit.

The judge then said, Ordinarily, the 90 days begins today that this pronouncement has been made.

Therefore, Justice Dimgba ordered that subject to the service of these documents on Melaye, “the INEC shall proceed with the conduct of the verification of signatories in support of the plaintiff ’s recall from the Senate.

In addition, the court held that it is only when the plaintiff notices any infraction, fake signatures or names of dead persons during the verification exercise that he can approach the court to seek redress.

The court had earlier while delivering the judgment dismissed INEC’s preliminary objection to the suit.

INEC had claimed that

the amended originating summon dated 7th August, but filed on the 8th, “is incongruous and grossly incompetent having been filed contrary to Order 3 Rule 9 and Order 17 Rules 4, 5 of the Federal High Court Procedure Rules.

Lawyer to INEC told Justice Dimgba that “My Lord, after leave was granted for amendment of the originating summon, the 1st plaintiff (Melaye) filed an affidavit that was completely at variance with order of court without obtaining leave”.

But the court held that the amended originating summon was properly filed in line with Order 3 Rule 9.

Similarly, the sister suit filed by the APC seeking the nullification of the recall process was dismissed for being an academic exercise.

Fayose plans to use N22bn loan for presidential ambition, CNPP alleges Ïj Ɔƕ ƏƆ Ɛ ƋƊƈ Ɔ Ɔ é 0 ƕ Ɔ Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti

ÏÏÏ

The Ekiti State chapter of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has raised the alarm over fresh bid by Governor Ayo Fayose to borrow another N22b from the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission “that will compound the state’s debt burden.”

The CNPP scoffed at the suggestion, warning against plunging the state into “suffocating debts for selfish interest”, as it further accused Fayose of plan to use the money for his Political ambition.

It added that, Fayose should rather allow the incoming government to execute whatever project it might want to use it for if he does not have any hiding agenda over the money.

While urging the commission to reject the Fayose’s application, based on argument that the governor has not been able to explain how he spent about N50b loan he has taken so far in the last three years to reflect in projects implementation and improved living conditions of Ekiti people.

But Fayose who spoke through his commissioner, Lanre Ogunsuyi described this as “Balderdash, arrant nonsense and not worthy of reply,” adding that “the budget support, the bailout are financial measures, to enable government meet its obligations to its citizenry.

Anticipatory, projectile criticism is speculative, and not worthy of attention.

“We as government have not taken any loan since we came on board.

Where were this CNPP when Fayemi took all the spurious loans and bonds that wrecked our economy? Fayose had told the officials of the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission during their recent visit to Ekiti State that his administration would approach the commission to source loan for some capital projects, including Ire Burnt Bricks Company, Ipole Iloro Water Fall, and Ikogosi Bottling Company, among others.”

In a statement after its monthly meeting on Wednesday the meeting attended by 16 parties including kowa, ADC, ACD

, AD, APC UDP ,NCP among others and jointly signed by the Public Relations Officer, Ayo Adelabu, and the chairman, Comrade Tunji Ogunlola, the group criticised Fayose’s preference for “reckless loan-taking” instead of spending several loans he had taken so far judiciously to make meaningful impacts in the state’s infrastructure development and social conditions of the people.

Noting that Fayose cannot explain how he had spent about N50b loans he had taken so far to the people in projects implementation, salaries and pensions payments, including gratuity payments, the conference said it was unwise to take another loan to compound the state’s economic burden, including plunging the state into a zero allocation burden after deductions of the loans taken so far from source.

Describing Fayose’s plan to spend the proposed loan on tourism and regenerative projects as hypocritical, the group explained that the administration of Dr. Kayode Fayemi invested heavily on those projects, but which Fayose intentionally left to rot away.

Appealing to the commission not to grant the loan to help the governor put Ekiti State into unnecessary debt burden “for selfish motives”, the statement explained.

“Fayose abandoned revenue generating projects, such as Ikogosi Warm Springs, the Civic Centre, Ire Burnt Bricks and Ekitiparapo Pavilion,

which roof was blown off and the structure is left in such decay since two years ago.

“Fayose has a history of illegal diversion of Ekiti money as can be explained in the poultry project cash still being prosecuted at the Federal High Court in AdoEkiti.

“He diverted the two tranches of bailout totaling about N20b and refused to spend part of the money to pay salaries, pensions and severance package of former political office holders as agreed in the bailout protocol.

Enugu recovers N21m from ghost teachers Moses Oyediran, Enugu

ÏÏÏ Enugu State Government said it has made another breakthrough in its on-going efforts to rid the state public service of ghost workers.

The State said it has recovered, N21m in the latest exercise from ghost teachers in its Post-Primary School Board(PPSMB) within three months.

Government said it took a hard look at the latest development in this corruption war and mooted a further inquisition that would identify possible members of the syndicate behind the scam.

The State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe, toldnewsmen that the chairman of the PPSMB, Barrister Nestor Ezeme, made the disclosure while briefing the State Executive Council in a meeting.

Anikwe said the council regretted the fraud which took place at the PPSMB just within three months during which the board embarked on a specialcheck by paying salaries directly to each of its staff who were made to personally collect cheques in respect of their monthly wages.

According to the commissioner, “the chairman of PPSMB has been pleading with EXCO to allow him pay staff salaries by hand and the EXCO approved that he does so, and for the first month after the salary payment, N7million was left without anybody coming to claim the amount and for three months, N21 million was recovered in the process which means that ghost workers exist at PPSMB”.

He said that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi was not pleased with the development, regretting that “ while

the state government was striving to fulfil its side of the obligation through regular and prompt payment ofworkers’ salaries, some staff are busy siphoning government money through ghostworkers syndrome.”

The Commissioner stated that the State Government is considering some severe sanctions against anybody found to been involved in this fraud.

In an earlier exercise, the government had discovered no fewer than 2,000 ghost workers in the local government system, including the primary schools.

Plateau Speaker to boost relation with Ndigbo Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos

ÏÏÏ

The Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly Peter Azi, said the Igbo community in the state has contributed to the growth of commerce and the boost of the state Internally Generated Revenue over the years, nothing that Igbo should be seen as sons of the land.

Hon. Azi stated this at the weekend when the Igbo Community Association (ICA), on the Plateau paid him a courtesy visit in Jos. He said the cordial re-

lationship that exists between Igbo and the people of the state would be understood better during the coming political dispensation as the State government will consider one of its own for a key political position.

Speaking earlier, the President General ICA who spoke on behalf of the Igbo delegation, Bar. Innocent Asogwa, stands for one Nigeria saying “we are not among those calling for break up; we stand for one united Nigeria, where equity, fairness

and justice prevail: we cannot abandon Plateau to go anywhere.

“Even before the withdrawal of the quit notice, we have said we are not going anywhere because we have been here for years, he said”.

The President General said ICA will be holding Igbo Day in November 2017 to send a message that the Igbo in Plateau stands for one Nigeria.

In his part, the Eze Igbo Jos, professor Jerome Obilom, said the reason for the call for brake up by the Independent People of Bi-

afra (IPOB), is simply because the southeast is marginalize in this present administration at the federal level.

Obilom said the flag of Baifra is crying against marginalisation and not secession, adding that the President Buhari led administration should take a bold step in addressing the issue.

The Igwe had earlier call on the Speaker to consider Igbo for the post of a Commissioner of Commerce in the State should the the present administration retain power in 2019.

FG gives states conditions for further financial Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

ÏÏÏ

The Federal Government on Monday gave states in the country conditions to be met before any further financial assistance would be deployed to them.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo laid down these conditions at the 2-day national workshop on alternative sources of revenue generation for sustainable development in states and local government councils in Abuja.

Osinbajo, who was represented by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, pointed out that the Federal Government still stands by the 22-point Fiscal Sustainability Plan introduced in 2016, aimed at enhancing fiscal prudence and transparency in public expenditure.

According to him, independent monitoring and evaluation of states against agreed milestones under the FSP has been concluded and further consideration for support to states, will be solely dependent on reports from the exercise.

The 22-point FSP for subnational governments was introduced and acceded to by the state governments to enable them properly manage their resources amid dwindling revenues. While Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) requires N700 bil-

lion to cover monthly salaries, statutory transfers and debt services, it only gotten close to N500 billion on single occasion, necessitating the launch of the FSP. According to the strategic objective two of the FSP, states must focus on improving public revenues, requiring each state to set realistic and achievable targets for improving internally generated revenue (IGR) from all revenue generating activities of the state in addition to tax collections.

The workshop themed, “Alternative Sources of Revenue for Sustainable Development in States and Local Government Areas in Nigeria,” aimed at increasing the alternative sources of revenue for nation.

According to the Vice President, the FSP idea was “for each state government to look inwards and come up with a plan that was best suited for the state based on available resources.”

He further pointed out that the FSP recommended the privatisation of state owned enterpreses, “establishment of efficiency unit to reduce overhead expenditures, biometric capture of all civil servants, implementation of continuous audit to reduce revenue leakages, and measures to achieve sustainable debt management.

Rivers inaugurates Govt House Chapel Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

ÏÏÏ

The Government House Chapel of Everlasting Grace has been inaugurated with the first service attended by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and other top government functionaries.

Speaking during the inaugural service attended by government officials and leaders of the state yesterday, Governor Wike said the Chapel was constructed to exalt the name of God. He stated that nobody was allowed to use the Chapel premises as a place for political horsetrading and seeking political patronage.

Governor Wike said: “This is a place of worship for top government officials, leaders of the State, those who work in Government House and invited guests.

“This place will operate like every normal church

with the chaplains controlling proceedings. I urge the chaplains to preach the word of God and not resort to praisesinging”.

He said that the operation of the Church should not be regulated by his attendance, noting that whether or not he is around, the Chapel must function to the Glory of God. In his sermon, Bishop Winston Iwo stated that it is good to worship God in an assembly because it promotes the growth of Christianity.

He charged Christians in Government to take advantage of the Chapel to worship God and work for the growth of the state.

It will be recalled that the Government House Chapel of Everlasting Grace which was built by Governor Wike was commissioned by the Primate of Anglican Church, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh.

Nigerians not serious with lassa fever eradication - NACAMA President Alphonsus Nweze, Awka

ÏÏÏDisturbed

by the many reported cases of death caused by Lassa Fever in some states of the county, the President of National Complementary and Alternative Medical Association (NACAMA) Nigeria, Professor Peter Emeka Katchy, has accused Governments in Nigeria of not being serious with the eradication of the disease in the country.

Prof Katchy lamented that for a long time is only one lassa fever laboratory in the country at Irrua in Edo state

built with the help of the former Military Vice-President of the county, Late Admiral Augustus Aikhomu.

He said the latest addition of lassa fever laboratory was the second in the country built at Abakiliki in Ebonyi State by the former Governor of the State, Chief Martin Elechi.

He therefore called on Federal State Governments to as a matter of priority and urgency begin to set Lasss fever laboratories in the country to address the inadequacy of such laboratories in the country.

Speaking with newsmen in Onitsha,

Anambra state the NACCIMA boss said, said Lassa fever is a disease csused by rat.

“Food items are exposed to rats, they expose garri to rat and drink it with sugar not knowing that the rodent has either urinated insidr the garri or has its faeces in it.

This is the problem and it is different from Ebola that is allien to us, Lassa fever is not but has a similar sympton like Ebola. Both have homohe symtons, sometimes blood comes out from the nose and mouth.”

He continued “Nigeria would have annihilated lassa fever i long ago f people had taken

it serious. People can not deny that rats are within their house or environment and it is a daily problem.”

He said once affected by the fever the incubation period lasts between 3 to 16 days and the victim is quarantined to avodi affecting others. The people who must have come in close contact with the victim are also kept under close watch to avoid spreading the disease to others.

He said the safest way to keep of the disease was that one should keep his environment clean as it is a domestic problem.

ÏÏÏ

The contributions of Globacom to the development of the telecoms sector in Nigeria and the digitalisation of the West African region came to the fore at the third Indo - Africa ICT Expo which ended in Lagos on Thursday.

Giving the keynote address at the event, the Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, said that Nigeria had confidence in its home-grown industries and would, therefore, continue to give them preference over foreign counterparts.

He cited the example of Globacom that lived up to the yearnings of Nigerian in 2003 when it pioneered the per second billing system, as against the claims of foreign operators that the system was not possible as at that time.

Before the roll out of Globacom, telecoms consumers were charged per minute for all calls.

Also in his presentation at the event, the director in charge of e-government in the federal ministry of communication, Mr. Temitope Fashedemi, said Globacom’s multimillion dollar

submarine cable backbone had reduced the cost of access to digital information in Nigeria.

According to him, the facility had brought the internet closer to the people.

He discouraged data users from hosting their data offshore, saying that it was more secure for Nigerian companies and organisations to domicile their data in servers in Nigeria using local service providers.

Earlier, Globacom had made an insightful presentation on the topic “Towards a Digitalised Future.”

In the paper presented on behalf of the company by Tega Agofure , Globacom stated that the future was already in sight as people were already living their daily lives using dozens of digital connections for business and personal convenience.

According to Globacom, besides smart phones, there are already billions of connected objects across the world with smart sensors embedded in cars, microwaves ovens, fuel dispensers, generators and so many other tools and appliances which interact and provide real time data to businesses and individuals.

Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has challenged his political enemies to either prove his alleged corrupt activities, or mind the skeletons in their own closets and keep quiet.

This is even as the former Vice President vowed that he would fight corruption like never before if he is given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country.

Atiku Abubakar made the charge at a facility tour of the new ultra-modern Yaliam Press Limited in Jabi area of Abuja on Monday.

In a press statement released by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice President said, “It is

sickening to continue to regurgitate allegations of corruption against me by people who have failed to come forward with a single shred of evidence of my misconduct while in office.”

He added that people who have no initiative, personal resourcefulness and ideas about wealth creation, always assume that a man cannot build himself without stealing.

According to him, “People who are bereft of ideas about entrepreneurial spirit always think that everyone else is a thief just like them.”

He added that it is morally offensive for people who despise honest labour to become judges in the courts of public opinion.

The Waziri Adamawa explained that though he has not been convicted of cor-

ruption by any court in the land or elsewhere, his political enemies have been parading a fake morality to fool gullible Nigerians.

“Despite previous desperate efforts to link me with corruption, the William Jefferson trial in the United States ended in 2009 without indicting me or linking me to corrupt activities,” he said.

Atiku, who was responding to the welcome address by the Chairman/CEO of Yaliam Press Limited, Yahaya Ali Amfani, recalled that he had pasted a reminder at his bed rest during his training as a Custom Officer that he (Atiku) would retire from any agency if he had not attained the headship of the place at the age of 40. Atiku said that he was only able to attain the position of Deputy Director before his

exit in 1989 to chart a career in business.

The former Vice President told the management and staff of Yaliam Press that he retired from the Customs Service with untainted record, and that if anybody has evidence that he stole a kobo at the Customs or during his tenure as vice president, such accusers should come forward or file a petition against him.

Atiku said he didn’t become a Vice President in 1999 as a pauper because he has been a successful investor throughout his retirement life.

“If Atiku is a thief merely because of his resourcefulness and successful investments, my political enemies should tell Nigerians the sources of their own stupendous wealth,” he added.

Wike to FG: Forget hate speech, resolve deliberate electoral irregularities Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

As Nigerians battle to define hate speech, the Rivers State governor, Bar. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has insisted that

Wike

the All Progressives Congress, APC, Federal Government should reverse its decision to fight hate speeches and focus on how to address what he described as the massive electoral irregularities imposed by the administration on Nigerians.

The governor who spoke during the Special Thanksgiving Service for PDP candidates of the Rivers South-East Senatorial District on Sunday at All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Bori, stated that he would continue to say the truth whether the Federal Government defined it as hate speech or not.

According to him, hate

speech would be used to suppress the ability of the people to resist the evils allegedly being perpetrated by the APC Federal Government.

He said that Rivers people would resist any attempt to rig the 2019 elections, given the irregularities in the electoral process.

Governor Wike said: “Whether it is Army or Police, what happened during the rerun in the state would not happen in 2019. We cannot fold our hands.

God has given us the opportunity to defend ourselves.

“I have respect for the President. He is the President of all

Nigerians and not of a political party. But the country is stagnant. There is no development going on. All you are hearing about the fight against corruption is a mere survival trick by a non-performing government.

The only story they have is Diezani. Even that story will soon end,” he said.

Commenting on projects in Ogoniland, Governor Wike stated that his administration has kept his promise to the people.

He assured them that more projects would be delivered in the next two years.

Earlier, Senator Olaka Nwogu who spoke on behalf of

the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidates for the Rivers South-East Senatorial District, said if elections in the area were based on the results from the field, PDP would have won all the seats.

He said he regretted that violence and deaths were allegedly visited on the people by the security forces as they stole the mandate of the people.

The Former Federal lawmaker also at the service, declared that all the communities of the district had endorsed Governor Wike for a second term on the strength of his performance and projects.

PDP did not fail Nigerians, faulty political structure of country did-Ogunlewe Are you still in the PDP and does the party still stands any chance in returning to power?

Of course, am still very much in the PDP, where would I be? We are planning for our national convention; let us do the convention first in December, before we can be thinking of 2019. It is too early to be talking of 2019, our party is in the process of reconciliation, rebuilding, and we have to conduct a convention that is acceptable to everyone.

The quality of officers would go a long way on how we perform in the 2019 election. We have to show to Nigerians that we are still united and that there is a future with the PDP. Why is the Lagos branch always factionalised ?

There is hardly any political party where there is no faction. When there is competition in man interaction, there is bound to be friction. Fationalisation is part of politics, tell me which party that there is no faction or crisis, is it APC, APGA, Labour party?

There would always be factions, what is bad is when there has been reconciliation you go back and start a crisis because of your own personal interest.

What is your view on the current call for restructuring?

Look I have been there and have seen it all as senator, minister, this is a fact: if we don’t restructure the country urgently, Nigeria cannot develop beyond this, even if you bring a magician to come and rule this country nothing would work. Look, we are carrying too much load at the federal level.

Check all the indices that determine a nation, it has put the country down. It is bad and appalling, infant mortality is very high.

The high no of children out of school is the highest in the world; look at the health institutions, how many of them are functioning?

There is no future for this country without restructuring.

Nigeria was created for Nigerians and not the revise. Let the people determine the kind of structure they want. What is happening now is that the center is carrying too much load, and we spend about 75 percent of our revenue funding the system. It is the National Assembly that can correct things, but they would not do that because of the interest they are protecting. Look at the recent constitution amendment, it was not the best, when you lump all the bills together there is bound to be confusion.

What they should have done was to list the bill one by one and vote rather than put all of them together. Should the states generate their own electricity? Should we have state police? Consider the bills one by one, let the people say if they want state police, generate their own electricity, why should it be that it is the Federal Government that would give permission before a state is connected to the national grid? Here we have centralised labour laws, in advanced countries it is not the case, when you are through from the medical school you register in a state where you want to practices. Now we have ASUU national strike because the labour laws are centralised, where is that done in this current age? The way this country is structured there is no hope even if you

Are you surprised that the APC which were the major proponent of restructuring are not doing anything about it?

The APC has been shut out by some few Individuals, and that is because of what they would get from the system. The APC which called themselves the progressives, have joined with the conservatives, and those ones are fighting for their own interest. They are not interested anymore in restructuring the country because it does not do their interest any good. Let every state be in charge of their resources, the National Assembly can help us do it, but they would not because of their own selfish interest and the cabal.

The National Assembly should pass a law that would give us the kind of constitution we want, but they would not do that, because of the interest of the cabal they are protecting, that is the truth. Look at the revenue sharing formula in the country; the North takes the lion share because of the no of states and local government they have.

Will that be why the North is against restructuring?

It is a protectionist attitude, you protect what you have. But how long can we continue like this? The system may collapse, people say we are rich no, Nigeria is not a rich country, companies like Microsoft is richer than Nigeria, there is one airport in the US,

If we don’t restructure the country urgently, Nigeria cannot develop beyond this, even if you bring a magician to come and rule this country nothing would work. Look, we are carrying too much load at the federal level. Check all the indices that determine a nation, it has put the country down. It is bad and appalling, infant mortality is very high. The high no of children out of school is the highest in the world; look at the health institutions, how many of them are functioning? There is no future for this country without restructuring.

it is richer than Nigeria. What we are even doing now that is very bad: all our contracts are being awarded to Lebanese and Chinese, it is very sad, and you want our economy to grow out of recession. It is never done, it is a disgrace to our country, can they do that to us in their own country? What are our own engineering firms doing, it is our engineering firms that suppose to be employing them.

Has Buhari delivered on the change mantra?

The only change we have in Nigeria is Buhari. And Buhari has been in ANPP and CPC, there is nothing really that has changed as you can see, and maybe now his health is affecting his performance.

What about the anti graft war?

Corruption is every were, but you have to put in legislation against corruption so that it would be difficult for people to loot. Unfortunately we don’t even know how much we generate, we spend recklessly. You can initiate laws that would check corruption; you check the activities in the financial institutions, banks. The civil servants would want to do this, you increase their salaries, provide accommodation for them, give schools to their children. Unfortunately most of the houses have been sold now. You can see that the elite don’t take their children to public primary schools now, they rather go and pay 800,000 in private schools where there is creche. If that is what they want you can provide it in the public school so they bring their children there. If you do all these you would realise that corruption would stop.

We ‘ll rescue Ekiti from politics of slavery- Ojudu Patrick Okohue The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu has stressed the need for all Ekiti indigenes to join hands and work to rescue the state from what he called “political slavery.”

Ojudu, according to a statement by Ekiti Rebirth Organisation (ERO) Media team and made available to The Daily Times, while speaking at the weekend in Ado-Ekiti to stakeholders drawn from all the wards, lamented that the state is currently like a modern slave camp where residents are in dire need of liberation.

He said: “Ekiti is in slavery and our people are calling for help. We must respond to their cries and rescue them; we will rescue the state from all forms of slavery. It is political slavery when our people are reduced to chickens picking crumbs thrown at them by a callous and uncaring governor.

“What we have now is the politics of throwing rice at our people and the exploitation of those demeaning acts for media propaganda. We will change the Ekiti narrative, we will cultivate our own rice, eat our rice, sell whatever is remaining to others and our people will make money.”

The presidential aide spoke of his burning desire for the advancement of all parts of the state, pointing out that governance should bring development, prosperity and self-esteem to the people.

“I want compatriots, I want associates to walk and work for the development of all Ekiti.

There are states in Nigeria with

OJUDU

less than half the resources of Ekiti that are now doing way better than our state because the current government lacks what it takes nor the commitment and the vision to uplift the people.

“Enough of those comedy skits of roasted plantain, or eating of ofada rice by the roadside or performing as DJ in nightclubs. It is all deception.

We need a thinking government who will realise the enormity of its responsibility to the people for the future of our children.

“Ekitis around the world excel not only in education, but in business, agriculture, engineering, IT among other sectors. We will bring ourselves together again and walk tall as Ekiti people, not as beggars at the mercy of one light-fingered occupier of political office.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 in government?

Yes, unfortunately I have not been a chief executive before, I could not implement this: I was a minister and senator, and you know as a minister you do what the president want you to do. I could not have made such change in my positions.

But your party has been part of the problem, 16 years in power, they failed Nigerians?

The structure failed Nigeria and not PDP; nothing can work with this present structure and system that Nigeria has. It is not a party thing it is the Nigerian factor. We have to sit down and talk, renegotiate about this present structure, because this present system cannot work, we are not making any progress as a nation.

The present structure of the country is defective, that is why most of the states are not delivering. In most states, what we have are dictators as governors, he is so powerful and do what he likes, even when there are procedures in doing things, nobody question him and he has immunity. Because his commissioners are not elected that connection with the people are not there, that is why a lot of people have said may be we

“I spent nine months in underground detention during the Abacha regime for fighting an oppressive military government and I am ready to take the oppressive government in Ekiti on. The struggle for the liberation of the state and the people has started and Ekiti will soon turn a new page.”

The Director General of the Ekiti Rebirth Organisation (ERO); who was the host of the event, Chief Felix Aderanti Adebisi, said the organisation is embarking on massive citizenship education in the state.

“We want to deepen the knowledge of our people on political issues because we don’t want another chairman of “Jedi Sector” as our governor.

Our people are suffering and we must organise to change our situation

APC chieftain insists Nigeria is out of recession Patrick Okohue with agency report Deputy National Chairman, (South) of the All Progressives Congress( APC), Chief Olusegun Oni, has insisted that Nigeria is out of recession, urging Nigerians to be positive in their thinking.

Oni, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at his Ifaki Ekiti country home, said the “nation’s economy is expected to bounce back gradually”.

NAN reports that the CEO of the National Bureau of Statistics, Yemi Kale, has said that the effect of Nigeria coming out of recession will not be immediately felt by the people.

Kale, the Statistician-General of the Federation, said in Abuja on Wednesday at a news conference that “there is a different stage Nigeria must go through before the masses will feel the effects of going out of recession.”

Nigeria was declared to be out of recession last week as data on the country’s Gross Domestic Product released by the bureau shows that the economy grew at 0.55 per cent in the second quarter of 2017.

This is 2.04 per cent higher than the rate recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2016 and higher by 1.46 per cent points from rate recorded in the preceding quarter.

The statistics office attributes the economic recovery to the performance of four main economic activities comprising oil, agriculture, manufacturing and trade.

Oni said: “Our President, Muhammadu Buhari is a man of integrity, who is focused and loves

his people. Recession conveys hope, it does not mean that the economy has `jumped’, it means that economy is not going down again.

“It is very clear that the country has come out of recession, but may not bubble immediately; it is going to be gradual, soon and very soon, we shall get there where all Nigerians will continue to smile.

“Nigerians should believe it. It is very unfortunate that some Nigerians do not appreciate good news and that is not good enough.

“We have to be positive always about our thoughts for our dear country, Nigeria.”

On the rising prices of goods in the country, Oni, a one-time governor of Ekiti State, said normalcy would soon return, saying prices will drop when supply is appreciably higher than demand.

“Whenever supply is higher than demand, prices of goods will drop and with that we can feel that we are already out of recession. (NAN)

‘Faulty political structure of country did’ need to go back to the First Republic were everybody was elected before you can be a minister and member of Parliament.

What of the current agitations for Biafra by IPOB? I think it is the leadership of Ohaneze that is not managing the affairs well. It is not somebody like Kanu that should be taking these issues up for the Igbos.

If you look at the history of the country and the present set up, what is happening now is structural marginalisation. I don’t think it is political. Look at the revenue sharing formula: it favours the North, it is about the numbers of local governments you have, and in present structure they have more states and local governments and they take more money than the igbos, so it favour them.

The Igbos are very hardworking, they are everywhere in the country, let them come together and articulate this issues and present them, that has been the problem.

We have Ekweremadu as the Chairman of the constitution amendment committee, why can’t he come up with these issues and

present them?

He should know what the Igbos needs and what their grievances are, but when he want to talk he talks about Enugu State alone.

Who would do it for him? We have had some Igbo people there in the past as National Assembly leadership what did they do about it?

Let them present these issues together.

What is your view of the current attempt to check the media?

What we are saying is that the media should be careful on what they publish and broadcast so that it would not divide the country. We are one country lets avoid issues that divide us.

Are we expecting you to contest any position in 2019?

I am retiring from politics, I am too old to contest for any position. What I do now is to advise the young ones, God has blessed me enough, there is nothing again to contest for.

What is your view about the state of the South West?

I am very sad about the states of the South

West educationally, when you see the position of the region in the last WAEC result.

What is our pride have been taken away from us, it is a shame. Education is legacy handed over to us by Awolowo that has always been our pride.

Imagine state like Taraba performing and being ranked before South West states, except Lagos that was ninth. Let the governors of the South West states call for an urgent education summit, let them find a way out of this mess, I am not apportioning blame on anybody, education is a right of man that cannot be denied.

Are you confident that your party can dislodge the APC in 2019?

Firstly we expect the convention to hold in December and we have zoned the President to the North and the chairman of the party to the South. The only reason we lost the 2015 election was because the president did not come from the North, we were warned then, but it would not happen again, we would not allow that mistake to happen again. I am sure ones that is done we would win.

ecent newspaper reports that the cumulative unremitted revenue from domestic crude oil sales by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stood at about N3.878 trillion as at December 31, 2015, is shocking, depressing and disheartening. It calls to question the assumed high level of probity, integrity and accountability of top public sector officials and shows how many government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) treat audit queries with levity.

The reports, quoting a report by the technical sub-committee of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) was part of the submissions in the 2015 Annual Audit Report of the Federal Government’s Account by the Office of the Auditor General of the Federation, (AuGF), also revealed that the NNPC withheld about N644.377 billion in 2015 alone. The report also said that out of about N1.55 trillion revenue from crude oil sales due for remittance to the Federation Account during the year, the NNPC deducted about N892.124bn and withheld the balance.

It was not indicated what the corporation used the unremitted funds for.

But it was discovered that throughout 2015, remittances totalling N13.907bn were recorded in February and April.

The AuGF requested the Group Managing Director of the NNPC to explain why the N3.878 trillion was not remitted to the Federation Account. The AuGF also ordered the corporation to henceforth remit all revenues due to the Federation’s Account accordingly and evidence of such remittances tendered to his office. It is not clear whether the NNPC management heeded the AuGF’s order.

It is indeed reprehensible and shameful that an organisation as large as the NNPC could conveniently refuse to obey the provisions of the country’s constitution with impunity.

Henceforth, officials of NNPC who

actively take part in such unconstitutional actions should not only be sanctioned but should also be prosecuted to serve as deterrents to other public sector officials who are in the habit of flouting the provisions of the constitution with impunity.

The fact that Section 162(1) of the 1999 Constitution, makes it mandatory for all revenue proceeds to be paid to the Federation Account also makes it illegal for the NNPC or any federal government agency to make any deduction whatsoever from the its revenue before paying the rest to the federation account. If anything, this was why the audit report frowned at NNPC’s deduction from its revenues, describing it as contrary to the provisions of Section 162(1) of the 1999 Constitution.

The import of the AuGF’s report is that public sector officials often pay little or no attention to auditor’s reports. Otherwise, why is it that for years the NNPC refused to comply with the provisions of the constitution on remittance of its revenues to the federation account and nobody was sanctioned for such gross disregard for the provisions of the constitution. It shows the laxity in government and why in many cases public servants corruptly steal from government coffers unnoticed.

Going forward, we recommend that the highest levels of transparency and accountability must be maintained by both the AuGF’s office and the audited institutions. We also believe that an exit meeting should always be held between the auditor and the audited institutions to discuss the outstanding issues in the audit report. In addition, draft report from the AuGF’s office should always be given to the audited institutions for comments.

That way, audit reports in the public sector would be cleaner and there will be less frictions between the AuGF’s office and the public institutions being audited.

Lessons from the industrial action embarked upon by resident doctors

T

Shuaibu Danjuma

here are important lessons to be learnt from the ongoing industrial action embarked upon by the Resident Doctors and Academic staff Union of Universities across the country to press home their numerous demands even though such agitations came with grave danger to the health needs of Nigerians and financial loss to parents and students.

The centrality of the whole drama revolves around the quest for job satisfactions among the agitators and facilities to work with as was hitherto agreed upon collectively by both the Federal government and the Health Management in the country. Permit me to say that the prediction of one of the foremost Nigeria philosophers Alhaji Maitama Sule, Danmasani Kano has come to stay. According to him in one of the National Dailies, a statement was credited to the late octogenarians Alhaji Maitama Sule Dan Masani Kano, may his soul rest in perfect peace, where he lamented the state of Nigeria Nation stressing that if people like Sardauna, Zik and Awolowo were to come back they would die tens times of heart attacks and high blood pressure due to how bad and corrupt Nigeria is. Dr Maitama Sule did not stop at that, when he said one does not know the line between who have morality and those who did not have.

From the above philosophical disposition of the late Nationalist, one begins to think and question the conscience of our leaders and followers after the demise of the

founding fathers of our great country, Nigeria, the most populous black race on the continents to courageously ask ourselves the pertinent questions where do we get it wrong to deserve the current travail we are passing through as a nation. Historically, the colonilisation of Nigeria by Britain was not by mistake rather they bequeathed to us effective instruments and structures of governance which was gladly and graciously handed down to the nation’s elites for proper functioning and administration of oath of office in a flexible manner with a view to enhance on the already laid down foundations by the colonial masters for egalitarian Nigeria. Sadly enough, leaders after leaders have come and gone without coherence replications and conscious reflections of the characteristic expositions of our founding fathers that were carefully built on virile foundation for the socio economic development and expansion of the country’s human and rich natural resources to strive from generation to generation being envisaged by these great nationalists is gradually drifting away if not checked. This ugly development has prompted some segments of Nigeria population clamoring for the re-colonilisation of the country once again since the former cannot stand the taste of time to adequately and proportionately unify and carry the diverse ethnic nationalities along in its policy formulations and implementation to address the yearnings and aspirations of the citizens in a more transparent and pragmatic manner to unify the aggrieved citizens on a round-table to cross fertilise ideas on the way forward to practically and humanly address our differences to

consolidate on the vision and mission of the founding fathers.

It was further argued that the inability of Nigeria past leaders and present to holistically formulate people oriented policies and programmes with the spirit of openness and transparency in governance was the main reasons why the current crops of political leaders in the country vis-à-vis government workforce did not develop the spirit of selfless service to fatherland rather believe in momentary satisfaction through corrupt practices and abuse of office to earmark wealth that is meant for the generality of Nigeria without punishment to show deterrent to others and consequently gave birth to incessant strike action due to corruption in the country. Since the year 2000 to date the country has witnessed series of industrial actions across all strata of our national lives embarked upon either by the workforce, academic institutions, Judiciary, Health institutions and even the Nigerian Police Force once threatened to embark on strike due to bad governance and corruption that has eaten deep into the fabric of our national lives. It is practically impossible to give what you don’t have. The Superlative performance of the civil servant is the true reflection of their welfare to discourage idleness and stealing from government treasury. Year in year out government institutions go on strike to draw government attentions to their plights with its attendant consequences on Nigerians. But how long can we continue this way? it was discovered that Nigeria is the only country of the world where leaders play with the sensibility of its workforce over poor remuneration, poor

condition of service to some MDAs while others enjoyed jumbo salaries instead of pro actively encouraging her workforce through a well structured welfare to disabused the minds of government employees from corruption . Ours is different mathematical calculation on the parts of the leaders without recourse to the plights of Nigeria workers particularly in time of economic recession.

According to one of the Labour leaders, Nigeria is the only country of the world where MDAs have different salary structures irrespective of the academic qualifications of the staff of such MDAs, the markets they attend and their social and cultural orientations all these does not in anyway matter to the government to strategically address the lingering issues of salary disparities in the Nations workforce once and for all to avoid industrial disputes.

From investigation, hate speeches is equally dominance among civil servants particularly over salary disparity for the same group of professionals working for the same government of Nigeria.

This disparage in remuneration has created division among the civil servant in the country often times leads to industrial disharmony and loss of man hours and resources on the parts of the government. Suffice to state that , all MDAs in the country play a pivotal role for the success,oneness, sanctity, tranquility and economic diversification of the country. Therefore no MDAs or institution is superior or inferior to others if government want peace and industrial harmony to reign in the country.

ment for up to eighteen months?

It bears repetition to ask, how can an organisation with the status of legal personality and perpetual succession (irrefrangible attributes) be “killed” after two years and be reanimated by re-registration? Would that not be a contradiction in terms and a brazen violation and vitiation of the whole concepts of legal personality and perpetual succession?

Early in the year, the 8th National Assembly threatened to enact a Law requiring Pastors and General Overseers (GOs) who had occupied their clerical positions for longer than ten years to resign their appointments. This prompted the temporary resignation of the GO of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, before the shrill cries of the public killed the anti-Christian Bill. Last year, the Governor of Kaduna State attempted to introduce a similar Bill, which sought to license preaching and preachers for a period of time certain! Early this year, Hon. Bala ibn Na’Allah, also of the House of Representatives, unsuccessfully strove to get a Bill passed to muzzle social media.

This is why not a few Christians in Nigeria consider the NGO Regulatory Bill a cryptic way to achieve what the still-born Bill of Hon. Jubril early in the year failed to achieve, the stultification of Christian efforts to propagate their religion, contrary to the provisions of section 38 of the 1999 Constitution.

A most nauseating part of the Bill, the NGO Regulatory Bill, is that it is copied, almost ipsissimis verbis, from a Bill that was popularly dis-

credited and consequently guillotined in Sierra Leone!

Being non-governmental and non-profit-making, NGOs never seek government’s funds to finance their projects, targeted at the spiritual, mental and physical development of the hoi-polloi and the political (human rights) aspects of their lives, usually areas that the Governments hold aloof or are ill-equipped to step into. Schools and colleges for inner-city children, the waifs and strays of our society, services provided by such organizations as the CLO that monitor government’s compliance with, or disregard of, fundamental human rights, health, etc. are classic examples of what NGOs and Civil Society Organizations render gratis, for humanity and for God. Yet, under section 23 of the proposed anti-progress Law, “Any organization registered under this Act shall not be entitled to diplomatic or consular privileges or immunities”, a provision designed to starve NGOs of funds. Then section 24 covers the field, as it were, by providing that, under the pain of a prohibitive fine of N500,000 or imprisonment for eighteen months, “it shall be an offence for any person to operate a Non-Governmental Organization in Nigeria for welfare, research, health relief, agriculture, education, industry, the supply of amenities or any other similar purposes without registration and certificate under this Act” (the dogin-the- manger provision).

The NGO Regulatory Bill

A

Chris Akiri

N obnoxious Bill whose long title nearly reveals its antisocial intendment is on its way to becoming an Act of the National Assembly having passed its first and second readings in the House of Representatives. With a jawbreaking long title of “AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS REGULATORY COMMISSION FOR THE SUPERVISION, COORDINATION AND MONITORING OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS, ETC. IN NIGERIA AND FOR RELATED MATTERS”, the proposed 58-sections Act is redolent of a rancid anti-Christian flavour; it reeks of autocracy, authoritarianism, over-government, and anti-democratic tendencies.

It is difficult to fathom how a nongovernmental organisation which, at its registration at the Corporate Affairs Commission, acquired the status of perpetual succession and corporate (legal) personality, can be stripped of those prime constituents by being subjected to a fresh registration every two years by a 17-member Board comprising a coterie of Federal Ministries, including those of Interior, Youth Development, Health, Agriculture and Rural Development, Water Resources and Justice. After a cursory reading of the Bill, it would become clear that it does not require the expertise of a practised cryptanalyst to see its intended target.

In a phrenetic effort to govern-

mentalise non-governmental organisations, the Bill establishes a Commission and a Board, with an Executive Secretary, and other members who must be chosen by the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. Government shall not, according to the Bill, have any financial stake in any NGO, yet under the provisions of section 44 (1) (a)-(g) of the proposed NGO Regulatory Law, there shall be established in the Head Office of the Commission about seven Departments, including Finance, Planning, Research and Statistics, Information and Publicity, Community Relations, Legal, Personnel and Management and Procurement, thereby emasculating and constructively, if not literally, rendering NGOs hors de combat!

Sponsored by Hon. Umar Jibril, the Bill savours of militarism, puritanism, despotism and the blue laws of an unblushing autocrat. It can be likened to a scenario in which God created a man; the man is killed by a besotted psychopath at a point, so that the dead man can be re-created after the lapse of 24 months! How can an organization which, at its registration, acquired the status of “perpetual (permanent) succession”, implying the continuation of a corporation’s existence despite the death, bankruptcy or insanity of any its owners, on the one hand, and a legal personhood (corporate personality), which confers legal rights and duties on the organization, on the other hand, be registered every 24 months or be considered de-registered and its operators exposed to imprison-

Nigeria will not develop until we fix country’s problems (2)

Guest Columnist Samuel Odunsi

‘

In numerical terms, Nigeria already has more than enough graduates to make development happen. But higher education has not been effective in that way. All that higher education has done is provide technical training, which benefits only the individual that might get a job in Nigeria or overseas. Technical training has proven useless for development when the managerial leadership of expatriates is not present. Higher education will not meet its purpose until every new graduate can reliably do what expatriates do.

That will begin to happen only when the type of curriculum change we recommend is implemented.

’

W

hat is learned has a superficial connection to the native culture of the individual and cannot be consistently applied contingently or instinctively to practical challenges as the expatriate does. This obvious problem has remained unsolved because the assumption behind the academic curriculum, which originated in western culture for the people of that culture, is that the connection is already present in the student. The West did not have to deliberately make such a connection in its people. As a result, their curriculum offers no provision for bridging the gap.

Improving the quality of this type of education will not make up for what is missing in the curriculum, to begin with. Stated bluntly, our graduates will not perform as well as expatriates even if every Nigerian institution had the quality of Harvard in America or Oxford in England. This is why overseas graduates who return home have been just as ineffective as local graduates. By the same token, there is no magic number of graduates that will suddenly make development begin in Nigeria at some unknown future date. Higher education that does not equalize the performance of the graduate with the performance of expatriates upon graduation will not suddenly do so in the future.

Increasing the number of such graduates in society will not make equalization happen either.

Can development happen in a unique Nigerian way?

Again, the answer is no. The suggestion that Nigeria or any former colony of the West may have an alternative path to development is wishful thinking. The economy of Nigeria has to be managed like the western economy that it is. Nigeria is a western economy that is malfunctioning.

Colonialism remade the economy of Nigeria in the image of the West, and there is no turning back. On Independence Day, the British handed over to Nigerians a working western economic and social model, complete with institutions, a civil service, a legal system, military system, education system, healthcare system, monetary system, commercial industries, and so on. Nigeria did not abandon any of the systems imposed by colonialism.

But to operate properly, these

President Buhari systems require the foundation of self-sustaining economic diversification and increasing productivity led by the competent management of tens of thousands of Nigerians with higher education in both the public and private sectors. The continual failed efforts to operate these systems without the required foundation, without the required managerial leadership, is what makes under development persistent and permanent. This is a problem that has resisted all attempts to solve.

Yet, the traditional methods of old can’t support a much larger population and the contemporary aspirations of the Nigerians of today. So, like most other former colonies of the West, Nigeria is stuck with a social and economic system it cannot properly operate with no way out.

This trap is what we call the Pain of Underdevelopment. The only way out of this frustration is for Nigerians to make their western economy work as it’s supposed to. Nigerians have to perform as well as expatriates and manage their economy as well as the developed countries.

There’s a system in place for training young Nigerians to do exactly that. It is the elaborate system of higher education. But higher education has never met that goal. The only unique aspect of making development happen in Nigeria or in the other former colonies of the West is the new ideas needed for doing so. We possess the ideas.

Do Nigerians have what it takes to graduate higher education and immediately perform as well as expatriates?

The answer is yes. But not under the failed curriculum that’s been blindly followed for generations.

The problem is not a lack of intellect or motivation on the part of Nigerians. Individual Nigerians, like human beings everywhere, possess and demonstrate what we consider to be the minimum requirement for making development happen at the level of the developed countries.

Higher education simply does not

know how to tap into this inborn capacity. We have identified this capacity. We have also identified the required steps for integrating it with the western economic model to which Nigeria is now bound with irresistible force. And it can happen in the time it takes to get a degree.

The solution we propose is available for implementation on a test basis among small groups in a few campuses or all at once for the entire nation. When properly implemented, the result is guaranteed and measurable.

What happens next?

We can choose to keep things the way they are and do nothing. We can choose to ignore this presentation and keep wasting resources on education that is guaranteed to fail for development. We can choose to make the failure of higher education the economic and social failure of our country and accept as our fate the permanence of corruption, instability, poverty, and hopelessness in our society, as well as the suffering of the people. We can choose to complain and blame each other for our plight and do nothing new or different to improve it. But any plan for diversification or development in Nigeria should no longer be taken seriously if the choice is to do nothing about the ineffectiveness of higher education. Like it or not, choosing to do nothing is now a deliberate vote for our present miserable and precarious condition.

The alternative is to take the steps that will make development happen and stop calling the symptoms of bad education the causes of underdevelopment. Stop accepting the blame and shame for the failure of higher education and hold higher education accountable. If education does not overcome the constraints of culture, that is the problem of the education, a failure of the education. It is not the problem or failure of the people that the education is not working for. Education that is ineffective because of culture is still useless education.

So is education that does not make graduates as effective as expatriates immediately upon graduation, or that promises to do so at some unknown future date. This type of education has kept Nigeria down for too long and must be discarded and replaced with one that systematically overcomes unconscious cultural barriers and equalizes the performance of new graduates with those of expatriates immediately upon graduation. This is the only outcome that can lead our country down the road of real economic development and a real hope for the future. This alternative will be enacted by implementing our new curriculum in Nigeria’s institutions of higher learning.

Disclaimer 1: It goes without saying that there are numerous exceptions whereby Nigerians have performed and served with distinction as effective and conscientious managers, administrators, supervisors, and entrepreneurs. But the meaning of persistent underdevelopment is that the exceptions don’t make a difference overall. There have not been enough exceptions to make development happen for the whole country. Our solution promises to make every graduate exceptional in this manner.

Disclaimer 2: It must also be noted that we’re not advocating the replacement of expatriates in Nigeria or in any other country. A truly developing economy will add capacity at a rate that will quickly consume available managerial and entrepreneurial talent, expatriates included. The goal of development is to expand the economic pie to the size of the developed countries. The goal is not to replace expatriates, but to have a lot more people do what expatriates do, in more areas of the economy, at an increasing rate. We’re advocating a lasting measure, not gimmicks.

Lagos govt commences operation against deviant motorists Joy Anyim, Lagos

ÏÏÏ

L-R: Principal Federal Government Girls’ College Bwari, Abuja, Mrs. Stellamaris Omu; Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu and Chairman, Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, during the Management Audit Exercise visit to the School in Abuja... recently.

Group condemns Army’s attack on Nnamdi Kanu’s country home Moses Oyediran, Enugu

ÏÏÏ

South-East groups on Monday lambasted the Nigerian Army over the alleged attack on Biafra agitators at Nnamdi Kanu’s country home in Abia state.

It was alleged that no fewer than five persons lost their lives in the said attack, while scores were also wounded.

Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), said he was the target of the attack, even as the military has insisted that no life was lost.

In a reaction, the Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), said it was worrisome that only a section of the country was being allowed to go on “with the historic culture of enslaving others, to totally control the military, defense, intelligence and security architecture of a multiethic, heterogeneous country.”

The Publicity Secretary of the ECA, Rev. Fr. John Odey, in a statement lamented that “isolating a whole region as (5%) five percent losers, deliberating excluding same region from the entire security organs of the country, and

‘Dino must go’ - Kogi West youths

Idris Ahmed Lokoja

ÏÏÏThe Federal High

Court verdict on the ongoing process of the recall of Dino Melaye from Senate, has elicited y ouths from Kogi west as they expressed solidarity with the court ruling which gave the Independent Electoral Commission the go ahead with the recall process.

The youth in their scores stormed the Nigeria Union of Journalist press centre in Lokoja, dancing and shouting “Dino Melaye must go,” saying they are happy with

the court ruling which they described as victory for democracy.

They carried placards with inscription ‘Dino must Go,’ ‘This ruling is a victory for democracy.’

Ilugunka David, who spoke on behalf of the youth, said that they were out to express solidarity with the efforts to recall the Senator who they described as poor representative of the people of Kogi West senatorial District.

Iligunka said the recall would serve as a deterent to the political class that powers belong to the people.

now provoking them with a military invasion is the height of insensitivity and brazen insult of a people.

“Driving towards the gate of the most popular leader in the zone (A man who controls electrifying adoration of over 99% of the masses of the zone) to blare sirens, shoot into the air and display armored tanks, is clearly a deliberate and fully rehearsed plot to provoke mayhem.”

He added that “the Army, the government and friends of the presidency, continuously make it difficult for the people to respect the Government.

“Childish behavior such as this, at a time prayers are ceaselessly made to de-escalate tension in the country, only leaves the citizens wondering if F.G has secretly concluded that provoking bloodshed is the way to go.”

“Bullets and armored tanks cannot sustain the unjust unitary structure.

The attack on Kanu’s residence is unintelligent it will certainly back fire.”

Similarly, the Igbo Women Assembly, IWA, the Igbo Leaders’ of Thought, ILT, the Igbo Youth Move-

ment. IYM, the South-East Christian Network and the Igbo Students’ Union have also risen in condemnation of the said attack.

Chief Mrs. Maria Okwor of the IWA said “The idea of invading Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s residence on Sunday evening to “Show force” is appalling and very provocative.

“The army cannot show force in Sambisa, in plateau state (where hundreds of villagers were slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen) in Ikorodu, Lagos, (where badoo cult have forced residents to relocate).

“The display of show of force five meters from Kanu’s bedroom is a pointer that F.G. wants to provoke warfare in the East. This government is clearly an enemy government. We call on the F.G to apologize without delay for this infantile act of deliberate provocation.

Following the activities of deviant motorists engaging in illegal commercial activities under the Bridges at Ojuelegba and Ikeja, the Lagos State Government Task Force has said it will commence a rigorous enforcement operations against such motorists on Monday.

In their remarks, the traditional ruler of Abayi Ancient Kingdom, Eze Nwabiaraije Eneogwe,

and the Chairlady, Planning Committee of Amaise Women Conference, Mrs. Ngozi Ijeoma, extolled the virtues of the wife of the Governor over her giant strides, humanitarian disposition and provision of dividends of democracy through the provision of market stalls and boreholes.

Nigeria is for a purpose, says PFN boss ÏÏÏ Following the discordant voices,

religious unrest, hate speeches and much more as observed in the country, the National President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude, has reminded Nigerians that God brought the country together for a divine purpose.

Omobude made this known at the Cathedral of Holy Ghost Day Bible Church, Umuahia, Abia State, during the 2017 Apostolic Visitation with the theme: “A Word from a Father”.

He said: “We (Nigerians) must understand that our God is a God of diversity. If He wanted all Nigerians to be Christians, He has the power, but He did not do so. He allowed Muslims and other religions to co-exist.

So we must respect God’s view in our national life. That is the way we

can pursue the path of unity in our country.

“We must not forget our core value for our faith. We were all offenders but we were forgiven. Forgiveness is part of our own culture. I therefore call on Christians to be circumspect and be wise. It is coming together like this, that we can wade off the enemy”.

On the purpose of his visit to the state, he said: “We have come to meet with our brethren, highlighting our core values, harmonising our faith.

I am also here to preach the message of peace so that they will live in peace among themselves and among our neighbours. It is only in the atmosphere of peace that we can practice our faith. This is my message”.

furtherance to his efforts to economically empower women in his constituency, the Senator representing Abia Central Senatorial zone, Sen. Theodore Ahamefule Orji, last week Wednesday, heeded to the call for his empowerment programme to birth in Ikwuano Local Government Area of the state.

This came as a result of calls inundating his phone and personal appeals for him to replicate that which he did for over 123 women in Umuahia North recently.

As a result therefore, more women were trained also in the art of soap making, custard as well as other entrepreneurial skills for the women in the area last Wednesday.

Speaking during the occasion, the Senator and his wife, Mercy Odochi Orji, who were represented by his Liaison Officer, Ifeanyi Umuere, said that they have the women in mind as their welfare touches them heart, pointing out that this was his normal gesture for them and not part of his re-election but “to continue to show love and affection on them by ensuring that they have something to make them be self-reliant”, promising not to forget them.

Speaking, the Executive Chairman of Ikwuano LGA, Ezinne Ngozi Oji, said Sen. T. A. Orji was not there for campaign, but to teach them on how to be empowered and urged the participants to open their eyes, ears and mind to imbibe the teachings.

Ezinne Oji also asked them to seek for the grace of God in order to understand the lectures, pointing out that the wife of the senator was also extending the handiwork of her husband to them.

The LGA boss said she instituted the August Women Conference in the area which was flagged off by the wife of the Governor, Nkechi Ikpeazu, to enthrone, teach and empower the women in the area through skill acquisition.

She encouraged the women not to neglect the training as it will help them.

Philanthropist distributes crash helmets to motorcyclists in Abia

ÏÏÏIn

a move to save motorcyclists in Abia State, a philanthropist, Mr. Tony Ndu, has distributed 150 crash helmets to commercial motorcyclists, popularly called ‘Okada operators’, in Ohafia and Arochukwu.

Ndu made this distribution during a one-day sensitisation on safety measures organised by the Ohafia Unit Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in collaboration with his foundation, Tony Ndu Foundation, recently, stating that the gesture was part of his contribution to promote safety driving among commercial motorcyclists in the area.

While stating that the helmets were donated to encourage the beneficiaries in their efforts to earn a living, the philanthropist said that the sensitisation was meant for the commission to educate Okada operators on road safety measures and need to strictly comply with them.

He admonished motorists and Okada operators to appreciate road safety officials as “our guardian angels, caring for our safety on the road” rather than enemies.

In his brief speech, the unit commander of FRSC, Mr. Charles Ezichi, expressed gratitude to Ndu for his genuine concern for the safety of road users, describing Ndu as a great philanthropist and major stakeholder of the commission.

He appealed to other prominent

indigenes of the area to emulate Ndu by assisting the commission, pointing out that beyond carrying out enforcement, the commission also engages in education and enlightenment of the road users.

Chairmen of some of the benefitting Okada associations, Messrs Kalu Chika (Ohafia), Uche Ndukwu (Abiriba) and Onyema Nwanmuo (Arochukwu), thanked Ndu for his kind gesture and promised to put the helmets into proper use in order to ensure the realisation of the objective of the donor.

The Deputy Route Commander of FRSC, Mr. Emmanuel Onuoha, later presented a lecture on “Engendering Sustainability of Defensive Driving” and advised road users to imbibe the culture of defensive driving.

According to Onuoha, defensive driving requires the driver to see himself as the only sane driver on the road, hence the need to drive more cautiously and defensively.

Also lecturing, the Coordinator, Special Marshall of FRSC, Ohafia, Mr. William Egwuonu, spoke extensively on the benefits of using crash helmets, seat belts and child restraints while driving.

The event also featured free medical eye clinic, and a drama sketch on the merits and demerits of using helmets by FRSC group of NYSC, while Ndu’s wife, Alice, donated a brand new motorcycle to one Chikezie Njinkonye at the event.

ÏÏÏThe people of

Umuda Isingwu in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State can now hive a sigh of employment relief as a cottage industry will soon kick off in the area.

This development was disclosed by the President of Umuda Isingwu Women Union, Ugwudi Lady P.C. Ukpabi, during the grand finale of the women’s 2017 August Conference, held at the community’s hall, Amaikoro, Umuda recently.

Lady Ukpabi, who identified women as home and society builders, listed some achievements recorded by the women of the community to include a Cassava processing plant and a functional skills acquisition centre being put together by her team to provide

job for the women. She added that the skills centre would also be used to train women and youths to enable them develop themselves and to become job creators.

She announced that the floors of the community’s hall had been tiled courtesy of the women’s efforts, while promising to adequately utilise every money realised by the women and appealed for a continued support from their husbands to enable them sustain their development efforts.

Speaking while launching the women’s 2017/2018 Almanac, the Chairman on the occasion, Architect Collins Amajor, extoled the Umuda Isingwu women for their initiatives, assuring them that he was ready to co-fund the cottage industry and made handsome donation to launch their Almanac and another sum for the home branch of Umuda women, while

announcing another support for the cottage industry.

A community leader and an elder statesman, Chief Thompson Alozie expressed happiness with the women for their united and prayerful purposes, praising them for supporting their husbands in the development of Umuda as well as the eradication of social vices in the land.

The event was attended by a mammoth crowd of women drawn from their different branches and it featured the launching of Almanac, presentation of awards to deserving women, and a march past by the women.

It also attracted the presence of representatives of the Chairman of Umuahia North Local Government, Hon Chidiebere Nwachukwu.

Nigeria is for a purpose, says PFN boss CONTINUED FROM 1

He called on Christians to live in peace and forge ahead in their daily mission as ordained by God despite the incessant attack on them across the nation, adding, “Peace is not the absence of trouble. Peace is an inner belief in what is right. So the fact that there are upsurge of attacks here and there, does not mean we should abandon the course of peace.

“If there is chaos in Abia State, we could not be here, so it is in our own interest no matter the religion you preach, or you believe in, to push the course of peace, because that is where there is progress in the country”.

In a welcome address during the reception service, the Chairman, PFN Abia State chapter, Bishop Dr. Chikezie Elekwa, announced the intimate relationships that exist between the newly elected Executive officers, the ministers and members of different churches and ministries under PFN, pointing out that the voice of the body of Christ is becoming more pronounced in the state and the impact is very noticeable.

Bishop Elekwa said it is the earnest desire of his executive to take Abia State chapter of PFN to a greater height spiritually, numerically, socially and financially, adding, “PFN Abia State chapter is well revived

and the Pentecostal Churches and Ministries in Abia State are getting stronger, more united and well-coordinated under the present regime.

“For the first time in the history of PFN Abia State chapter that more than two hundred and twenty delegates represented Abia State in the recently concluded biennial conference at Benin City, Edo State this year”.

He enumerated the challenges facing the Abia PFN to include accumulated arrears of national annual levies from the past regimes amounting to N5 million, 2017 annual levy of N1.5 million, absence of State secretariat, and difficulty in interacting with the leadership of Abia State, as Abia PFN has not been able to have its proper place in the government of the state.

He appealed to the PFN National President to use his good offices to speak to the Abia State government to give the PFN Abia State chapter land for her secretariat and open its doors for good and cordial relationship with PFN Abia State chapter.

Bishop Elekwa commended the PFN National President for his exemplary leadership, adding, “Indeed your leadership has brought remarkable revival to the entire body of Christ especially the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria”.

Jail break: Police dismiss 6 over negligence, absence from duty Stories by Sunday Nwakanma Umuahia

ÏÏÏAbia

State Command of the Nigerian Police, on Friday, paraded six dismissed policemen over negligence and absence from duty, which necessitated the escape of three police cell inmates from the D-7 detention room at the State Command Headquarters of the Nigerian Police, Umuahia recently.

However, three of the escapees have been re-arrested over what he called “constructive breaking” and paraded also for newsmen.

Addressing newsmen at the Umuahia Police Headquarters, the State Commissioner of Police, Adeleye Oyebade, disclosed that about 1.30 am last week Monday, September 2, 2017 “some suspects in the Anti-Kidnapping section, D-7 of State CID, Umuahia cell escaped from the detention facility”, and made away with two AK47 Riffles kept outside the armoury for quick response to emergencies to facilitate their escape.

“The inmates conceived the escape and nurtured it into fruition due to the negligence/absence from duty of the policemen scheduled for duty on that fateful day”, the CP said, stating that three escapees, Emeka Ukaegbu, Kingsley Anyim and Chijioke Chukwu were later arrested, while one of the riffles has been recovered.

Following this therefore, “all the officers involved in the act of negligence/absence from duty have all been taken through the Force approved disciplinary action process and dismissed from the Force, and will be prosecuted.

“Efforts to re-arrest the remaining escapes is being intensified”, CP Oyebade, who did not disclose the number of suspects that escaped said, disclosing that one of the suspects, Emeka Ukaegbu has con-

fessed to where he kept the other AK 47 Riffle and assured that the riffle will be retrieved soonest.

Showing newsmen where the incident happened, the CP said that of all the four men and two women police officers involved that early morning, only one was on duty and was the one who actually handed down the keys to the cell to the suspects under circumstances that is not yet clear.

The State Police boss said that the suspects overpowered the only police man on duty and escaped, stating that he was pained because the kidnap squad was responsible for 75% of the command’s success story, pointing out “but there is nothing I can do”.

He also pointed out that some military officers had some issues with Keke NAPEP operators in the state recently and three of the military men were injured, stating that the suspects involved have been ar-

raigned before the court.

The CP said he had talked to the leadership of pressure groups in the state to do their processions within the ambits of the law, an action that will not infringe on the rights of others, stating, “I am an apostle in the vineyard of God”, and will not condone anything that will tarnish the image of the force”.

When interviewed, one of the suspects, Emeka Ukaegbu disclosed that they asked the police officer on duty to give them the keys and he obeyed, disclosing that they then gave the keys to a girl in the same cell room to open the doors of the cell for them to escape.

Ukaegbu said on being free, they went for the riffles and one was given to him to aid their escape, stating that after escaping, and not knowing how to use the gun, he hid it “somewhere”, stating that he was going to show the police where he hid it.

the clash between some army officers and some tricycle operators at Isi Gate axis of Umuahia, the Abia State Command of the Nigeria Police Force last Wednesday arraigned 10 tricycle operators at the Chief Magistrate Court 1 presided over by Her Worship, Lynda Ugbaja, on an 8-count charge of felony, conspiracy to commit misdemeanor, to take part in riotous act, willful breaking of wind shield of a Hillux vehicle of the Nigerian Army and unlawfully wounding on Staff Sergent Adewuyi Aderemi.

Mrs. Ikpeazu empowers 44 graduates of skill acquisition in Umunneochi

ÏÏÏAbout

44 graduates of Skills acquisition training sponsored by the state government were on Friday empowered by the wife of the Governor of Abia State Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu.

Addressing the graduands at Ummunneochi Local Government Area where the training and empowerment was held, Mrs. Ikpeazu charged them to utilise the equipment given to them to improve their means of livelihood.

The Abia first lady said that skill acquisition has become a profitable venture which the youths and women can use to improve their welfare as well as create employment, and urged parents, especially mothers to advise their children properly about

choosing their career.

She disclosed that she decentralised the exercise so that all the senatorial zones will benefit from the training which is a collaboration with Ministry of Women Affairs and the support from the Governor.

Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Women Affairs, Dr. Nnenna Chikezie, said the programme was put together by the state government to put smiles on the faces of the downtrodden across the state and advised the beneficiaries not to sell the equipment given to them.

In their separate speeches, the chairman of the occasion, Dr. Johnson Uzoatuegwu and the Chairman of Ummunneochi Local Gov-

that the accused were granted bail, while the matter was adjourned till September 18, 2017.

Chionye wondered why the army that should be at Ohafia should come to Isi Gate to arrest the accused, stating that the accused were Keke operators who resisted extortion by the army personnel at the Isi Gate axis of Umuahia, asking what the army people should be doing at that place.

It would be recalled that last week Monday at about 4.00pm, that there was panic, pandemonium in Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, as an army officer allegedly clashed with a tricycle (keke) operator at the popular Isi Gate axis.

This led to residents running helter shelter as angry soldiers shot sporadically into the air.

Many versions are available but The Abia Times learnt that what gave rise to the pandemonium indicated that a Keke operator who happened to be a member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was wearing a cap with Biafra insignia which the army officer wanted to seize but the Keke operator was said to have refused.

According to the report, the army personnel was there extorting as much as N500.00 from motorists, and an argument was said to have ensued leading to a struggle between the two.

ernment council, Mr. Okey Igwe, thanked the wife of the Governor, Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu, and promised to replicate the good work in the LGA. Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Ozioma Okorie, expressed their gratitude to the state government for empowering them to be self-reliant and pledged to use the equipment and skills they acquired to improve themselves.

The empowerment items include 12 laptops, 10 sewing machines, 12 hairdressing equipment, and machines for making bean cake, while the ceremony featured the foundation laying ceremony of a borehole at the council headquarters by the wife of the Governor.

Umuopara clan, HRM Eze Godfrey C. Ibeakanma; Chairman, Ndi Eze Olokoro clan, HRH Eze D.I. Okezie; Chairman, Ndi Eze Ubakala clan, HRH Eze R.A. Mbagwu and seven other traditional rulers on behalf of Umuahia South Traditional Rulers Council and issued to newsmen in Umuahia shortly after their general meeting held in their Chamber, the royal fathers lamented the incessant invasion of their farmlands, schools and public institutions by the herdsmen and sexual harassment of their daughters and wives by the herdsmen.

While condemning in strong terms the menace of Fulani herdsmen in the council area, the traditional rulers pointed out that these herdsmen often carry dangerous weapons, thereby inflicting fears on their citizens, stating, “They are also using underage children as herdsmen who the police cannot arrest because of their young age”.

In the communiqué, the royal fathers further alleged that the herdsmen and their cattle have polluted their streams which are the sources of their drinking water within the local government area especially areas that have no boreholes, lamenting also that the movement of the herdsmen at nights makes it difficult to differentiate between herdsmen, armed robbers and other nuisance.

Ikpeazu will fail if he moves to APC –Maduako

harmoniously, and have been loyal to the government of Okezie Ikpeazu, but I am advising that Ikpeazu should know that he has a PDP office where he started his campaign and try to come and visit the office.

Oluchi Sandra Maduako, a stakeholder in Abia State politics, in this interview with SUNDAY NWAKANMA, among others counsels Governor Okezie Ikpeazu on how to move the state forward, urging him to be extremely careful of people around him. Excerpts: Who is Oluchi Sandra Maduako?

I was the only civil servant in the country who was authorised by the Obasanjo administration to engage in politics during his regime. I have fought most former governors of Abia State until they came to beg me for forgiveness. Although I was against the present governor, but following the appeal to me by the senator representing Abia South, Enyinnaya Abaribe, who said he was then withdrawing from the governorship race in the state and which he did, I reversed by dislike for the present governor. Because of that, I went round the 17 Local Government Areas in the state three times with Okezie Ikpeazu during his campaign in 2014/2015 prior to the last general election that brought him in as the state governor.

What was then your opinion on ASEPA and cleanliness in Umuahia?

Even during the campaign period, I had told Ikpeazu to ensure he kept to his campaign promises and few months ago, I had criticised him on the issue of Abia State Environmental Sanitation Agency (ASEPA), where I called him and sent a text to him on the state of cleanliness of Umuahia. I wondered why Umuahia should be so as he was the former General Manger of ASEPA. I had also asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman why the city should not be clean. The governor had, following a text I had sent to him, even called the immediate past Commissioner for Local government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Charles Ogbonna, to tell him what I said, and I did not deny it.

What else did you tell Governor Ikpeazu?

I told him the party staff is being owed three months then, and this has not happened before. I told him that it was his court problem. But now that we are out of court, you should try to pay. I even spoke to him about civil servants, pensioners and teachers. This I did even through a bosom friend of his.

Even before he removed his commissioners, I had urged him to ask them to give account of their stewardship. Let us know what they have done. I want him to make sure that he pays, using the Paris Club refund to pay, more especially, the teachers and pensioners. Yes, civil servants may have been owed two, three months, but the others are owed five, six months and if we

What is your advice to Abians?

I urge Abians to have patience with the state government and the party as before December this year, they will complete and pay off all the salary arrears being owed to everybody, and pension arrears should be paid to them.

clear them, PDP will win this state in 2019.

At the Local Government Service Commission, Ikpeazu had made them a promise to the pensioners, but there are some bad eggs in his administration.

How can you rate Governor Ikpeazu’s administration?

I thank God that some of them had gone out of the administration. This not minding, the governor is doing well, especially in Aba which prior to his administration, was in a mess through flood but I thank God that today, it is not like that again through the massive reconstructions he is doing in Aba. Again, if you come to Aba road in Umuahia where the former governors did for eight years using gauze wire to do the road and after that, the road will break down, but today, that road had been done solidly and if he finishes that road, it can stay up to twenty years. I recalled that late Sam Mbakwe had used Fugerole Construction Company to plan and develop Umuahia. There should be prayers for those in authority, not for evil ones.

Why do you think there are drawbacks for Governor Ikpeau in developing Abia State?

In the state now, there are people who act as revenue agents and who are collecting money from people promising to give them positions, claiming to be close to Ikpeazu and people are paying them, while Ikpeazu does not know all those things. But I am happy that the governor has heard about it.

Even the state PDP chairman, Sir Johnson Onuigbo, was surprised when I informed him about that.

There is a way God works in my life. If not, they could have killed me, but it’s God. I don’t fear anybody.

What is your advice to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu?

The advice I am giving to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is that, like in the revenue of the state, all money they collected, there was none the revenue agents gave to the local government or the state.

Now, Ikpeazu should come out, plan a way to get revenue to help him run the state because those people (revenue agents) have failed him. Again, Governor Ikpeazu should make sure that those he will appoint this time are those who will come back and work for us, not those who will come in as sycophants, shouting his name

Maduako and praising him like what happened in the past, when we did not achieve anything. I have advised the state PDP chairman, Sir Onuigbo to come out and tell Ikpeazu the truth and let him understand that the people that voted him in are the party is not Okezuo Abia Organisation. I am advising the governor to talk to the leadership of Okezuo Abia and that they should stop doing the work of the party.

How do you view the activities of Her Excellency, the wife of the Abia State Governor, Deaconess Nkechi Ikpeazu?

To Her Excellency, Nkechi Ikpeazu, I advise that she should concentrate more on the state of the party, work with her and leave those Ikpeazu women that are deceiving her as all they are after is gossiping.

I thank God for the project the woman is doing on health. For almost 18 years, I has been begging past governors to start a sickle cell project and they refused, but this woman today has opened a sickle cell centre which all the sicklers in Abia go there and take medication free. This is a way of helping. The other day, the wife of the governor held a child/maternal programme. One good thing about Governor Ikpeazu is that when he knows a programme that is going and which will benefit the state, he will pay the state counterpart funds, about three of them, immediately.

How do you see the workforce in Abia State?

There are some permanent secretaries who are not worthy to be in the ministries, and who are causing trouble for Ikpeazu every blessed day and who would go to Abuja and change the governor’s plans, where even Abuja wanted to embarrass the governor. But I thank the Government House Permanent Secretary, Onyii Wamah,

Governor Ikpeazu should make sure that those he will appoint this time are those who will come back and work for us, not those who will come in as sycophants, shouting his name and praising him like what happened in the past, when we did not achieve anything. for saving the state governor over what would have been an embarrassment from a minister recently.

What is your take on the victory of Senator Ahmed Makarfi at the Supreme Court on leadership of PDP? On the PDP national court activities, I thank the national body and the governors on the way they solved the matter. This is the first time Nigeria has had a good Chief Justice and I give kudos to him as in all the cases he has handled. He handled them wonderfully without looking at anybody giving him money. Having said that, he will make sure that he will bring judiciary back to what it used to be.

Now, Makarfi should sit up and plan for a convention that is coming up in October and we have two candidates that are vying for the position of National Organising Secretary. Col. Austin Akobundu (rtd) should be allowed to go and even if they go to the field, Akobundu will win.

How do you see the condition of PDP headquarters in Abia State?

The state PDP chairman and his executive have been working

You said Governor Ikpeazu should remain in PDP and will fail if he decides to change party; why?

Yes, I will tell Ikpeazu, if he wants to go to APC, that he will fail. He should still remain in PDP. I know that he is not going to any other political party, but it is a rumour that is going round because the Vice President has visited Abia State twice and ministers have come to Abia State and soon, the Vice President is going to come again. There is no PDP governor now that will leave the party at the state it is now and go to any other party. 2019, we are going to clinch the national and put the president and we have zoned the presidency to the north. Let them bring out their own and let us fight and see because they said we came and stole. Yes, but we did good things while in power and cost of things were low as at that time. But they, the APC that came said that they were coming to do a change, they are now killing people.

It was Buhari that brought SAP (Structural Adjustment programme) and today he has brought change and the change is killing everybody. A bag of rice is almost N30, 000.00, while when Jonathan was the president, it was N7, 000.

But Jonathan was pleasing the northerners and left his own area but today he has seen it that those people he was pleasing, are the people that are ruining him and the country.

An Ngwa man has not ruled since the inception of Abia State.

When Ogbonnaya Onu came, he concentrated on his people. Ajobena brought his people, Anthony Obi brought his people. When Orji Uzor came, he diverted everything to Igbere and most civil servants who survived and those who got something were from Igbere. T. A Orji came too. So, if they say Ikpeazu concentrates in Obingwa, I will not be surprised to hear it because the system has been part of Abia State. What I like in Ikpeazu is if he is doing one thing in Obingwa, he is doing in another town in Ngwa, and he is doing elsewhere. Go to Arochukwu and see what is happening there. Are Ariaria and Port Harcourt roads in Obingwa? I will say thank you to him. But what I am telling him is that he should look into Umuahia. We don’t have any roads again even the streets in Umuahia are worn out. Again, he should look into security and Abia State. A lot of people are being kidnapped and harassed.

Telecoms’ sector contributes N1.5tn to GDP- NCC Ïd ƕ Mƈ ƆƏƈ ƅƋ ƆƏ Ɛ ƢƠü ƄƏ ƗƄ Ɨ ƅƅƆ

By Tony Nwakaegho The Nigerian Comm u - nication Commission (NCC) has said that the nation’s telecoms’ industry contributed N1.549trillion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter of this year.

The NCC said that this figure represented 6.68 per cent increase from the first quarter’s figure of N1.452tn.

The significant leap by the sector, according to the telecoms’ regulator, showed the Federal Government’s positive results in its quest to diversify the economy.

The Executive Vice Chairman, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, who dropped this hint, stated that the figures were derived from the recently released report on the economy by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Danbatta said, “The NBS’s report has confirmed that the

telecommunications’ sector, during the second quarter of 2017, contributed 9.5 per cent to the GDP in contrast to 9.1 per cent contribution in the first quarter of the year.

“We are very proud of the remarkable contribution the sector is making. Even in reCONTINUES ON PAGE B2

claims in the media that they were negotiating the takeover of the airline.

The suit was instituted by the shareholders of the airline at the Federal High Court, Lagos, against Ethiopian Airlines, the Federal Ministry of Transportation and the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami.

A copy of the suit, which was filed

on Sept.6, 2017 by Arik Air’s counsel, Mr. Babajide Koku (SAN), Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwigwe and Mrs. Ezinne Emedom, was obtained on Sunday in Lagos.

In its statement of claim supported by a 20 paragraph affidavit deposed to by Mr. Chris Ndulue, a director with Arik Air, the plaintiff asked the court to restrain the first and second defendants from further negotiations

on its takeover.

The plaintiff noted that the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) had taken over the airline on Feb. 8, 2017, which was challenged by its management via two suits already pending before the Federal High Court, Lagos.

According to the plaintiff, the suits CONTINUES ON PAGE B2

The President of the Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, on Friday, predicted an end to unstable foreign exchange rate, following Nigeria’s exit from recession.

Gwadabe told journalists in Lagos that available economic indices and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN’s) forex policy were indications for a stable naira.

“Naira will definitely remain stable as all the indices will give the CBN the capacity to maintain stability.

“A rising foreign reserves of$ 31.22 billion, the CBN is well positioned to sustain its interventions at the foreign exchange market.

“The foreign reserve is robust. There is enhanced fiscal discipline and increasing confidence of foreign investors in the economy and many empowerment programmes organised by the Federal Government,’’ Gwadabe said.

The financial expert noted that the expansion in the manufacturing sector as shown by data from the Purchasing Managers Index was also an indication of a growing economy.

The naira had remained stable since the Sallah break, exchanging at N365 to the dollar at the parallel market.

The Nigerian economy exited recession after attaining 0.55 per cent growth in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, the CBN has injected over $3.6 bn in series of interventions to the forex market in the past five months.-

cent times when the whole economy was facing challenges, the sector remained resilient and stable.”

The EVC NCC also said that the commission had noticed a “remarkable increase in data usage in the country,” stressing that the Chairperson of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority, Madam Angelique Weeks, and a team of administrators from the West Africa Telecommunication Regulators’ Association, had observed the development.

“The monthly data usage is about 40 million terabytes,” he added.

He gave the assurance that the country would undergo a massive Information and Communications Technology transformation by the time the excess data capacity at the landing point in Lagos was deployed to the hinterland through licensing of infrastructure companies.

Commenting on the Internet access in the country, he said, “Broadband penetration in the country currently stands at 21 per cent, as Nigeria is inching towards 30 per cent penetration next year, which is in line with its national broadband target.”

“The commission has approved spectrum trading consistent with an item of the eight-point agenda, optimising the use and benefits of spectrum, to ensure that no acquired spectrum is left unutilised,” Danbatta said.

Egbin records 827days’ incident-free operations Simon Ugwu

Safety standards and procedures at Egbin Power Plc have enabled the power plant record incident free operations over the last 827 days, Kola Adesina, the company’s chairman has said.

Addressing reporters on Egbin’s “Safety Report”, Adesina said the power plant operates in line with globally acclaimed standards for Health, Safety, Security and the Environment and requires staff and stakeholders to abide by its zero tolerance policy on safety infractions.

“Since we took over the plant in 2013 we have continued to enhance the plant’s HSSE profile through investments in safety equipment and training. For us at Egbin, ensuring safety at all cost is a non-negotiable policy and we are delighted with the progress we have made in this regard and it gives us the impetus to sustain ongoing transformation and preparation for future expansion of the plant,” he said. He said Egbin’s safety records had been severally commended by various postprivatization monitoring team and other regulatory agencies following inspection visits. “At Egbin, every staff is a Safety Ambassador. We demand the same level of commitment from all our partners and stakeholders and remain confident that HSSE issues will always be paramount in our operations.”

Speaking on the need for collaboration across the sector’s value chain, Adesina said this would help operators and regu-

Egbin power plant

lators effectively address the challenges of the power sector.

“What we need right now is generation, transmission and distribution working together to achieve the ultimate goal of improved power supply. We have witnessed continuing improvement across the value chain and we need to keep up the momentum and close our ranks where we have gaps to drive better power supply. Issues bordering on un-utilised energy, load shedding and optimised load picking can be better managed by the operators to ensure the system maintains a balance that enhances productivity and sustainability,” he pointed out.

“We should all work as partners in the power sector as the nation is counting on us to make the system work. At Egbin, we remain committed to

spearheading intra and inter sectoral collaborative efforts to move the power sector ahead.

This will require the support of the government, regulators, operators, local/foreign investors, electricity consumers and civil societies,” he added.

Adesina explained that an analysis of operations across the value chain clearly reveals the need for the sector to address and correct the price differential between the actual cost of electricity and current price regimes. “Another important factor that is responsible for the high price of electricity is the lack of conservation. It is imperative for the sector to embark on sustained advocacy and awareness campaigns that will encourage people to embrace conservation and shun energy theft as well as illegal connections,” he stressed.

numbers are FHC/L/CS/827/17 and FHC/L/CS/826/17, adding that the negotiations by the defendants will render the outcome of the suits nugatory.

“The plaintiff avers that the agreement of the second defendant with the first defendant will be wide ranging and intricately affect every aspect of the plaintiff herein, including, but not limited to the day to day running technical as well as financial management which will affect the plaintiff as being the largest domestic and regional airline in Nigeria.

“The plaintiff further avers that the action taken by the first and second defendants will have a negative effect on the country’s image as the plaintiff being the largest airline will be pawned over to another country for management,” it said.

The plaintiff also averred that the negotiations had caused undue hardship and irreparable damage to the Arik Air brand and ongoing investment discussions as well as unbearable distress to the airline’s shareholders and directors.

It therefore asked the court to declare the negotiations null and void because the Ministry of Transportation had no power to transfer the management of the airline to Ethiopian Airlines while the suits over the takeover were pending.

The plaintiff also asked the court for an order directing Malami to ensure the investigation of Ethiopian Airlines by the appropriate authorities for inducing and interfering in the administration of justice in the pending suits.

It added that if found culpable, the airline should be charged to court for criminal contempt contrary to Section 133 (4) and (9) of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State, Cap C17,Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2004.

The plaintiff also asked the court for an order compelling the Inspector General of Police to investigate the actions of the second defendant.

It further asked the court for N20 billion being punitive damages against the first defendant for inducing or partaking in the interference of the rights of the plaintiff and the administration of justice.

Speaking on behalf of the stakeholders, the former Vice President of Arik Air, Senator Anietie Okon accused Ethiopia Airlines of indulging in unethical behavior and is conspiring with some people in the Nigerian government to take over Arik, noting that records show that Ethioian had owed huge debts in the past which with the support of its own government it had defrayed and even currently it still owed huge debts.

Okon noted that in the aviation industry, debts by airlines are a continuum; and it is believed that as long as that airline is flying it owes debts.

According to him, debts are staggered and paid for and in all countries of the world most governments support their airlines, whether flag carriers or national carriers and including the ones who are indebted.

He said Arik has over 2000 direct workers; and it is indirectly providing sustenance to over 5000 Nigerians.

UN Secretary-General Names Fowler Member, International Experts Committee on Tax Matters Stories by Motolani Oseni The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guteress, has named the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr. Tunde Fowler, as a member of the International Experts Committee on Tax Matters.

The committee has 25 members worldwide.

Fowler’s appointment was conveyed by Mr. Bolaji Akinremi, Minister Plenipotentiary of Nigeria Permanent Mission in New York, in an e-mail to the

FIRS. Akinremi, in the e-mail, said: “I have great joy to inform you that the UN Secretary-General, Guteress, has appointed Fowler as one of the 25 members of the prestigious International Experts Committee on Tax Matters for a four-year tenure to commence at the inauguration ceremony in Geneva on October 1, 2017.

“In addition to the notification of the appointment by the secretary-general to the UN, Economic Council already placed on the website of the council, individ-

ual letters of appointment would be addressed to the appointee and the appointee is to formally accept the nomination through a letter of acceptance addressed to the UN secretary-general through the Nigeria Permanent Mission New York.

Please, express the heartfelt congratulations of the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the UN Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, to Mr. Williams Babatunde Fowler on his appointment and a warm wish for a successful tenure.”

Fowler, who is also the

Chairman of the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and the Joint Tax Board (JTB), was Chairman, Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS). His sterling performance in Lagos led to a sharp rise in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from an average of N3.6 billion monthly, as at January 2006, to an average of over N23 billion monthly as at June 2015.

Despite a challenging economy, with crude oil at under $50 per dollars for the most part of 2016 and a sliding purchasing power,

Fowler led FIRS to realise over N3.303 trillion in 2016.

With Fowler’s leadership, the FIRS got the ATAF Award for the best Innovation in Africa, with the FIRS e-Stamp Duty solution, while the Chartered Institute of Taxation, Ghana, (CITG) honoured Fowler as a fellow of the Institute.

FIRS recently introduced six payment solutions: eRegistration), e-Stamp Duty, e-tax pay, Remita), e-Receipt, e-filing and e-Tax Clearance Certificate e-TCC- to make tax payment easy as ABC, anytime, anywhere.

CBN Building

CBN’s interventions amounts to 277bn from Sept 2016-June 2017 Simon Ugwu Development interventions by the CBN in the power and aviation sectors reached N277.4 billion cumulatively between September 2016; and last June. Repayments by the operators are trailing progressively.

This was made known by the Concept Technologies Managing Director, Tokunbo Tonade in Lagos, adding that the company has developed a solar energy option that will cost N13.6 million yearly to power each bank’s branch.

The programme, under CBN’s Power and Airline Intervention Fund (PAIF) has supported 59 projects in both sectors in efforts

to keep them afloat amid harsh economic situation and threats to jobs.

Tonade said he would be keying into the project to enable the firm get cheaper funds to power more facilities at cheaper rates.

He said he would gladly go for the PAIF fund when he got all the details concerning it, from which the CBN had disbursed nearly N300bn in three years to interested parties at single interest rate.

“I will gladly go for the opportunity. If I have access to such funds, that will be interesting. I will like to access the fund. You know about the Free Trade Zone and Dangote Refinery will attract at least 24,000 work-

ers. If I get the fund, I will be able to power not less than 500 bungalows with solar,” he said.

“I am not even connected to the grid, and my power is always on. I waited for one year to test the project.

It is not a matter of not doing what I am supposed to do and I do not have the fund. If I get access to the PAIF cash, I will surprise everybody.”

He said solar energy works 95 per cent on the sun and five per cent on diesel during cloudy weather. Rain does not disturb it. This system was designed to work 24 to 36 hours without sun. After 36 hours without sun, a generator kicks in auto-

matically for six hours charge to fill the vacuum.

And if the sun does not come after 36 hours again, the generator will kick in.

But some batteries work beyond 36 hours. The solar is the main source, while the standby is to maintain the battery during rainy season,” he said.

On cost, he said there is no shortcut. “If you want electricity, you will pay for it. If you don’t pay for it, you get lack of electricity.

A 200-watt solar panel costs about N50,000. The cost can be spread if the interest rate is minimal. We try to beat the cost as much as we can. I am not in it for money. The cost will be worked on, but for you to use re-

newable energy, you must be energy efficient.”

He said renewable energy is where the world is going. People don’t know how to live without depleting the resources of the environment.

On relationship with banks, he said: “We are calling on the banks to come and see that it works.

They run it 10 hours daily, and it is based on that timeline that we arrived at the figure. The banks pay us quarterly to maintain the ATMs. It is only in this country that I see people bleeding money and they are not bothered. As far as I am concerned, banking industry is bleeding money because of personal interest.

Certificate of Capital Importation goes electronic, says CBN Anthony Nwakaegho, with Agency report Effective from Monday (today) September 11, 2017, the processing of Certificate of Capital Importation in Nigeria shall only be done electronically on the eCCI platform, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed.

This was made known in a circular to authorised dealers and the general public obtained on Friday and signed by the Director, Trade and Exchange Department at CBN, W.D. Gotring .

According to the apex bank, this is in a bid to enhance transparency and efficient processing of foreign investment flows to the country.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria hereby informs the authorised dealers and the public of the deployment of Electronic Certificate of Capital Importation (eCCI) platform. Accordingly, the eCCI shall replace the hard copy CCI normally issued in respect of all capital inflows either in form of cash or machinery/equipment. Please note and ensure compliance accordingly,” the circular read in part.

Capital Importation deals with inflows of cash (foreign currency inflow) for investment as equity or loan, and also for importation of machinery and equipment for investment as equity or loan.

This is followed by a certificate of capital importation (“CCI”) issued by the banks aimed at providing customers with statutory evidence of capital inflow/ investment into the country.

It legitimises and facilitates the repatriation of dividends, interest/coupon and capital to the investor. It also facilitates repayment on foreign loans along with interests accrued.

A recent report by the National Bureau Of Statistics, (NBS) showed that three banks, Stanbic IBTC, Citi Bank Nigeria and Standard Chartered Bank) accounted for 70.7 per cent or $1.27 billion of total estimated $1.792 billion capital importation for the second quarter of this year. The report concluded that the remaining 22 banks accounted for the balance.

Honeywell to reduce rising cost; pay higher dividends Ï0ƈƏƌ Ɛ Ə ƆƐ ƾƠü ƌ ƏƊƆƐ ƏƆ Bonny Amadi Stakeholders of the Nigerian capital market have called on Honeywell Nigeria Plc to work towards writing off its debt overhang, reduce increasing finance cost, record increased earnings and pay higher dividend.

The call was made recently when the company presented its facts behind the figures to capital market stakeholders at the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) Lagos, just as high finance cost continues to retard its growth trajec-

tory.

A stock broker, Gideon Atemase, who towed the line of other stock brokers in asking for enhanced performance and freeing more of the company’s shares, said that high service charges on bank loans continue to rubbish earning opportunities by shareholders, approaching the market for fresh capital will enable Honeywell reposition for profitability, “Look at your finance needs and come to the market for rights issue to reduce finance cost”

the broker counselled the company.

Dr Emeka Okolo , also a stock broker, emphasized on the need for Honeywell to record increasing market share through making its products, Semolina, flour among others, more available to consumers and at right pricing, adding that some of the company’s products command very high prices which inhibit sales.

Earlier in his address, Managing Director, Honeywell Plc, Mr. Olarenwaju Jaiyeola, said that the company is making invest-

ments in building capacity and shaping its future and the Nigerian food industry.

He said that the company is maximizing production cost through systemic and process- driven initiatives targeted at fostering and delivering positive effects on growth and margins.

According to Honeywell’s CEO, the company is enhancing its operations in highly advantaged markets, north and South West, and other areas, as it currently targets 20 per cent market share, from its current 12 per cent.

Weak economy weakens FMN’s capital raising programme Bonny Amadi The prevailing depressed economic environment has been attributed for delaying floating of Nigerian Flour mills Plc’s rights issues already endorsed by shareholders barely three years ago.

This was coming as the company’s interest burden continues to soar, and eating deep into earnings and returns on investments, which formed bulk of shareholders’ complaint as the company’s 57th Annual General Meeting in Lagos.

Chairman of Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, John George Coumantaros, revealed recently that the company may consider unveiling the right issue, as it may approach the market soon.

In 2015, at NFM’s organized extraordinary meeting, shareholders endorsed recommendation by the directors to raise up to N40 billion additional capital through a right issue.

According to Flour Mills Chairman, “given the economic headwinds being experienced in the country, the directors decided to undertake the right issue through a “Shelf

Program”, which enables the company to raise the required funds in several tranches over a three year period” He explained that a N40bn Shelf Program has now been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and will continue to assess the economic climate to determine the most appropriate time to launch the first tranche.

Daily Times recalled that N1.00 dividend approved by shareholders at the meeting, was funded from company’s accumulated pioneer profit. The company’s Profit after tax declined to N9.8bn in 2017 from N10.4bn in 2016. However, revenue peaked at N375bn, reflecting growth by 51 per cent over the N248bn recorded same period in 2016.

Meanwhile, at a recent court ordered meeting, shareholders of the company approved the merger of Golden Penny Rice Limited with Flour Mills Nigeria Plc. The merger, according to a shareholder of the company, would help curtail excessive tax and other operations costs as well as enhance synergy for the company.

Experts to x-ray Infrastructure financing opportunities at FICAN conference Bonny Amadi, Simon Ugwu& Afolabi Adesola Cross- section of experts will converge in Lagos this weakened to x-ray more rewarding infrastructures financing opportunities prevalent in Nigeria, at the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria (FICAN) annual workshop scheduled for 16th to 17th September at Orchid in Lekki.

President, of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), Mr. Andrew Alli and other leading experts in the financial sector will proffer solution to the challenges of infrastructure financing in the country, under the theme “Financing Nigeria’s Infrastructure: Issues, Challenges, and Options.”

The IFC chief is expected to lead other discussants, including the Managing Directors/Chief Executive Officers of Heritage Bank Plc, Mr. Ifie Sekibo; Rand Merchant

Bank, Mr. Micheal Larbie; SunTrust Bank Limited, Mr. Mohammed Jibrin; Viathan Engineering Limited, Mr. Ladi Sanni; as well as the Acting Director General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, Engr. Chidi Kingsley Izuwah.

FICAN, in a statement, stressed that the place of infrastructure in economic and social development of a country cannot be over emphasised.

Infrastructure financing, according to the association, plays critical roles in promoting economic growth, standard of living, poverty reduction by enhancing productivity, improving competitiveness and linking people and organisations together through telecommunications.

It also contributes to environmental sustainability.

Nigeria is currently faced with huge infrastructure gap that has hindered its earnest desire to exploit its rich natural and human resources

for its development. For instance, in spite of the country’s huge oil and gas, sunlight and hydro resources, Nigeria cannot generate enough electricity to drive its development.

“Indeed, Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit had stymied its economic growth, restricted productivity of its economy and limited its competitiveness. The challenge of the absence of critical infrastructured continue to impact negatively on the cost of doing business, investment, and capital inflow into the country,” the statement added.

It had been projected that the country needs to invest $10 billion annually over the next 10 years for it to significantly reduce its infrastructure deficit. Some of the sectors that require huge investments include power, housing and highways, railways, ports, airports, dams, bridges and tunnels, oil and gas, water and sanitation and telecommunication.

Labour B6 Stories by Joy Ekeke The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to release the third and final tranches of the Paris Club refund to state governors yet until a concrete agreement has been reached to use the money to settle outstanding salaries, allowances and pension of workers and retirees in the country.

The union, in a communique signed by the NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba and General Secretary, Dr. Peter OzoEzon, issued to journalists after its central working committee meeting held recently, also demanded that an immediate and

NLC urges Buhari not to release last tranche of Paris Club refund to states comprehensive audit of all monies so far spent by the government in its effort at reviving the power sector in the country since 1999, which it said has failed to yield result, but rather produced several billionaires as a result of diversion of the funds,be carried out.

The congress requested the government to immediately inaugurate the National Minimum Wage negotiating committee in view of the impoverishment of workers.

The communique also wanted the FG to compel state governors to properly account for the bailout they received from it as well as the two tranches of the Paris Club refund, which were supposed to be used for the payment of salaries and pensions, but which it alleged, were diverted to other uses.

The congress regretted that government has not lived up the expectation of Nigerians; and are in the habit of reneging on signed agreements

with unions, pointing out that the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities,ASUU, was avoidable.

The congress said that ,“Many of the discussions around restructuring have not paid adequate attention to. It resolved to set up a committee to harmonise the various views expressed at the meeting with a view to articulating a position on the issue for subsequent presentation to the organised labour.

“It reviewed the continuous non payment of months of outstanding salaries of workers in some states of the federation , as well as various arrears of pension, which had also run into several months; which is the actual situation despite President Buhari’s passion to address this matter since he assumed office by giving bail out to governors to clear this shameful state of affairs with the nation’s workforce,not much has been achieved.”

The congress also deplored what it called, the poor service delivery in the power sector saying, “since the current administration came to power in May 2015, it had given N740 billion to the power sector as intervention fund without much to show for it. CWC, therefore, cannot comprehend the rationale behind the administration’s preparedness to give a further N39bn bailout to the DISCOs for metering purpose.”

PENGASSAN warns JTB to ‘stay away’ from pension contribution The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has advised the Joint Tax Board ((JTB) and some state boards of internal revenue against interfering in the voluntary Contributory Pension Scheme as entrenched in the Pension Reform Act of 2014 and the 2015 amendment.

The union said that it believed that such an interference could ‘jeopardise’ the relatively industrial peace in the country.

The caution is in reaction to an advertisements placed by the tax bodies in some national dailies,

threatening to impose taxes on withdrawals by workers from their voluntary contributions, the senior staff association in the oil and gas industry stated that this was contrary to the Pension Reform Law. In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer of PENGASSAN, Comrade Fortune Obi, the union said it was the responsibility of the National Assembly to amend any section of the Act as deemed fit, and that of the Judiciary to provide interpretations where necessary.

“Hence, it will be provocative for the JTB or state tax boards to unilat-

erally usurp the powers of the legislature and the judiciary by its planned and illegal move to tax such withdrawals. The tax authorities should be reminded that tax avoidance is the arrangement of one’s financial affairs to minimise tax liability within the scope allowed by law and is distinct from tax evasion, which implies the illegal non-payment or underpayment of tax due,” he stated.

Obi cited Section 4(3) of the PRA 2014, which provides: “Any employee to whom this Act applies may, in addition to the total contributions being made by him and his employer, make voluntary contribu-

tions to his retirement savings account.”

“Section 10(4) of the Act further provides that ,“…

Any Income earned on any voluntary contribution made under Section 4(3) of this Act shall be subject to tax at the point of withdrawal where the withdrawal is made before the end of five years from the date the voluntary contribution was made.”

He noted that with these clear provisions, it is obvious that the tax authorities are over-stepping their bounds by attempting to place restrictions on withdrawals against the express provisions of the law.

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has assured Nigerian workers of the willingness by the 8th Senate,under his leadership, to give accelerated consideration to the Occupational Safety and Health Bill (SB. 200), once the National Assembly resumes from its annual recess later this month.

According to a signed statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, the Senate President reiterated that with the nation’s focus on economic growth through the greater participation of the private sector, it was necessary to update our laws to guarantee the safety and health of Nigerian workers in order to protect them from avoidable injuries at their places of work.

“The Occupational Safety Bill, which has undergone Second Reading;

Saraki

and is currently making its way through the Committee on Employment, Labour and Productivity, will help to ensure that millions of Nigerian workers are protected in the event of injury.

“This Bill will also guarantee safe and healthy working conditions for Nigerian workers by putting in place a legal framework that would develop and promote occupational safety standards that define the exposure limits for chemicals, other biological and physical agents.

“This Senate takes the health and well-being of Nigerian workers very seriously. They are the backbone and lifeblood of our nation’s economy. This is why this Bill, sponsored by Senator Duro Faseyi, also ensures that employers provide preventive mechanisms and procedures that will limit accidents and injury at places of work.

Airport emergency: Stakeholders seek way out Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Men of the Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (ARFFS) rose from a ‘Stakeholders Strategic Conference on Aircraft Emergency’, to agree that a lot more can be done to ensure interagency collaboration to portray their readiness to handle emergencies when the need arises.

The delegates, comprising the ARFFS, management of different aviation parastatals; and a lot of stakeholders deliberated on the topic: “Aviation Emergency Management” proffering different approaches to ensure synergy and responsibility in handling crashes.

Chairman of the occasion and Managing Director of Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Captain Fola Akinkuotu, who gave a goodwill message to kick-start the conference said that emergencies will not send SMS before they happen; and so, urged the fire fighters to be prepared at all times.

He stated, ” As pilots, everyday we fly and no matter how wellorganized things are, sometimes accidents happened; and, as firefighters, we should go to work believing there will be an emergency and we must be prepared.”

He said,“This workshop is apt, given the strategic importance of ARFFS in the airport safety services domain. More Germane is the captured aim of the workshop, which is promoting collaboration between internal agencies and external assisting agencies in aircraft emergency rescue management.”

He was elated that the workshop was in tandem with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO’s) emphasis on airport collaborative Decision

International Airport Making (ACDM) as the most effective strategy in achieving an inclusive development.

He further stated that the contributions of the ARFFS was important and deserves priority attention.

In his presentation, Airport Emergency Planning; Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ARFFS Specialist, Marc Tonnacliff raised some pertinent factors needed in case of an emergency and how the chain of command should operate in the eventuality there is an accident.

He further explained that it was important to understand the intricacies of emergency planning; and urged all those

involved to know their functions and how to act during any form of emergency.

Airport Manager, Ibadan Airport and the conference visioner, Mr. Akinlabi Akinselure, explained how important it was to get emergency numbers for res-ponders as against the practice of using individual numbers, which become unreliable. ” This is the reason the NCAA has not approved our Aerodrome Emergency Plan (AEP); as we put numbers for individuals there; and most times, they are transferred; and so, when you call for an emergency, the person cannot be on the ground to respond. So we

are asking management to get those numbers as it will make emergency responses easier.”

He also highlighted other problems to quick responses which, according to him, include lack of understanding on how to key into the AEP resulting to lack of proper co-ordination of the entire exercise and overcrowding of the entire scene of the emergency. ” We need to educate emergency responders on their roles in accordance to Aerodrome emergency plan; and we also need to key into this plan for effective control and coordination.”

General Manager ARFFS, Mr. John Ekpe, in his response to some

queries raised called on the NCAA to look into reviewing the time for training and reevaluation as the time for those is quite short.

Ekpe, who was responding to the issue of training stated:”The time between competency and reevaluation is too short.

Three years is not enough time to train 800 ARFFS, especially with the little funding available.”

He said, “The United Kingdom has done the same and had theirs reviewed to four years. We are asking the NCAA to review ours as it was done in the UK; if not, the time will elapse and there is no way to train over 800 firefighters nationwide in three years.”

Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Engineer Saleh Dunoma, while speaking, said the conference was well-timed, especially as it addresses the challenges usually experienced in the handling and management of aircraft emergencies.

His representative, Director of Airport Operations, Captain Rabiu Hamisu Yadudu stated that it was apt due to the fact that the airport authority is currently undergoing the process of certifying all five major airports in the country.

According to him, emergency procedures of the airports were being reviewed and improved upon.

After the initial round of presentation, Yadudu reacted by stating that the most important things that should be taken out of the conference, one of which remains that everyone is important in an accident response, but not everyone is wanted to respond.

He said,”when incidents happen, emergency response is the business of all; and though everyone is needed, not everyone is wanted at the scene of an emergency. If a crash happens no matter how highly placed I, as director, it is not my place to take command of the scene, as there are command officers who are trained on emergency responses.”

Firm to power ATMs, banking software with solar energy Stories by Simon Ugwu Every innovative bank keeps an eye on its operational costs. It is not just enough to declare huge earnings. What matters is how such earnings are retained as profit at the end of each financial year.

But one thing that has for decades eaten deep into banks’profitability is the rising cost of energy. It costs nearly N50 million yearly to power each bank’s branch with at least 10 hours of electricity supply daily.

To ease banks’ burden on power supply, Concept Technologies Managing Director, Tokunbo Tonade, has developed a solar energy option that will cost N13.6 million yearly to power each bank’s branch.

He said the company, which for years maintained inverter-backup system for banks’ Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), came up with the cost-effective solar energy option to reduce the burden of power supply on banks’ profitability.

Speaking at a media parley in Lagos, he said: “We are powering the banks. If any ATM goes down because of power, they call us to fix it. We mentioned to them that they do not need to be spending N50 million yearly per branch on diesel. This is what we are capable of doing”.

Tonade said the country has to realise there is power problem before solving it. “I have been trying the best I can to advocate for renewable energy so that they can see the potential. We do what we call cost-benefit analysis for them.

I have been trying to advocate for renewable energy so that Nigeri-

ans can see the gains in it. You are buying a generator; you are using X-amount of money to install the generator, to buy diesel and fuel yearly. The people manning the generator are paid, when we add everything up, they are higher than what you will use to install solar energy,” he said.

Ahead of the launch of the first three-bedroom solar powered home in Lagos, he said in the longrun, every year a bank spends N50 million to power each of its branches, in 10 years, it would have spent N500 million to power a branch alone.

“I want to give you something that has 25 years warranty at N120 million, and it will break even in two years, unlike your generator

where you are spending N500 million in 10 years and you are still spending all the way. Sometimes, people listen to us, sometimes, they say we are talking rubbish.

What I do basically is to start from the root,” he said.

Tonade said one of his company’s products, 150 watts solar energy facility, goes for N180,000, despite that interest on loans has been rising.

“What we are doing is to start from the grassroots. We are designing two-bedroom bungalows so that we can do solar estate. I held a meeting with Diamond Bank, and we are looking at ways the bank can take advantage of the solar energy plans. We are doing things at the grassroots to make

Firms partner, deliver cheap power to businesses Cummins Power Generation and Power Gas Nigeria plan to reduce the cost of operations for manufacturers in the area of power generation which seems to be a major challenge in the manufacturing sector.

The duo has inked a deal to replace diesel generators with gas generators for business operators and even domestic purposes which according to them, was a cheaper and environmentally friendly substitute for power generation in Nigeria.

According to Cummins Power, the latest development was part of its efforts to stir economic growth as the manufacturing unit is a crucial sector that hold the nation’s economic efficiency.

General Manager of Cummins Power noted that lack of adequate electricity needed to

them accept solar and solve the power problems,” he said.

He said Concept Technologies has continued overtime to help people realise their dreams.

“So, when people come to us with their concept, we use technology to bring it to life. But as time went on, we got to a point where we were building generators with vehicle engines. And from there, we moved to solar energy.

“So, Concept Technology is into renewable energy, from the point of view of saving the planet from global warming. If you look at the world globally closely, you will know that Nigeria is closer to the equatorial belt of the world than countries like Denmark, Sweden, but they use more solar than Nige-

ria does. They only have about four hours of sunlight per day but we have predominantly 12 hours and eight hours of serious sunlight.

Still, we are not using half, or even one-third of what Germany, Sweden and so many countries are using,” he said.

Tonade said the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) target of meeting 2020 mandate on renewable energy in Africa is possible, but not likely to happen because it is not in the interest of the first world for that to happen.

“Whatever they design must always benefit them first. We may not be able to look at that because of our gullibility and our lack of capacity to think critically. For me, if a whiteman tells me he wants to give me $50 million to do something, I am trying to look at the string that is attached to that money. They will never do anything that will not benefit them first. Until Africans come together, and do things together, nothing good will happen,” he said.

fuel the engine of the economy necessitated the need to devise alternative power source.

“Diesel generators could be expensive to manage because of the amount of fuel it consumes and the resultant cost effect is extremely high. Besides, it could be dangerous for the environment because of the pollution it generates.

By targeting to replace diesel and petrol backup generators, we aim to reduce air pollution by 25 per cent.

“The issue of environmental pollution in Nigeria is a time bomb waiting to explode as hundreds of people keep dying of air pollution either through petrol generator or car fumes.

We need to know that particle matter and carbon monoxide are part of the most dangerous pollutants in the world and we

are soothing through them in Nigeria.

“Adopting gas-based generators can also be economically rewarding. At current gas and diesel prices, a gas-based generator can provide electricity from N30 per unit (kWh) compared to N145 per litre for petrol and N175 per litre for a diesel generator set,” he said.

He added that the firm was working on multiple options to enable Nigerians accelerate gas generators’ adoption with a better operating cost when compared to a petrol or diesel set.

The gas industry in Nigeria is growing fast. There is a strong economic incentive for industries and power generation companies to switch to natural gas.

Nigeria holds the world’s ninth largest proven natural gas reserves.

Nigeria can achieve 7% GDP with sufficient electricity – Siemens Siemens Nigeria’s Chief Executive Officer, Onyeche Tifase has said that Nigeria has the potential to achieve 7.0 percent gross domestic product (GDP), growth rate and lift 70 million people above poverty provided there is sufficient access to electricity across the country.

Tifase cited deployment of smart metering technology and sophisticated tracking systems to pinpoint illegal connections, as well as increased collaboration between power sector operators and trusted global suppliers, as factors that will determine the achievement of sufficient access to electricity for all Nigerians.

She noted that though 60 per cent of Nigeria’s 182 million population have access to electricity, majority of the power is generated by an ageing and inefficient grid that loses 8.6 gigawatts (GW), which represent 69 per cent of the country’s 12.5 GW installed capacity.

She said investment in proven end-to-end electrification technology will directly tackle the scourge of unemployment, poverty and inequality, creating an inclusive and prosperous Nigeria. “To make electricity more easily accessible to the whole population, power generation capacity must be ramped up and streamlined,” she added.
